Chapter 246: The Ambition of Annual Sales of 30 Million! Is 400,000 Square Meters Very Big? (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
At dawn the next day, the sky was slightly bright.
Chen Yansen sat at the desk in the hotel, turned on his computer, and checked the core data of each subsidiary as usual.
The major shareholder of AutoNavi Maps has also changed from Hou Jun to Senlian Capital. According to the plan, Xiao Jun should be ready to take over the management of AutoNavi Maps in full.
I just don’t know how complicated the expressions on Hou Jun and Cheng Congwu’s faces will be when they see Xiao Jun.
After finishing his work, Chen Yansen took out his mobile phone and checked Weibo. The ninth item on the hot search list was about the first-day sales of Orange mobile power banks.
"Orange Power Bank 66W!"
If you don’t know, you might think that the output power of Orange power bank can reach 66 watts.
When I clicked on it, I found out that the Orange mobile power bank, which was just launched online yesterday, has sold 660,000 units across the entire network.
One-piece alloy shell, imported battery cells, priced at only 69 yuan.
With this configuration and this price, in 2012, it would be like something that normally costs 100 yuan being suddenly discounted by 70% today.
If it were any other brand, users might suspect that the capacity was falsely labeled, the battery cells were inferior, and the safety performance was low, but this is manufactured by Orange's own factory.
From Orange C1 to Orange D1 and Orange C2, they have long left users with a good impression of solid materials and reliable after-sales service.
These sales of 660,000 were not achieved overnight.
Chen Yansen smiled faintly. According to this trend, selling tens of millions a year would be a piece of cake.
You know, as smartphone screens get bigger and bigger and more and more applications are added, the battery life of mobile phones has plummeted.
When you go out, especially if you are an Apple user, you will feel unsafe if you don’t bring a mobile power bank.
"Even Xiaomi can sell 30 million units a year. The batteries and TI chips of Orange Power Bank are of higher quality. There is no reason why the number will be lower than this."
Chen Yansen evaluated secretly.
At 8:30 in the morning, Chen Yansen drove to the No. 4 Orange Factory in Luyang Industrial Zone.
As soon as the car drove near the park, we saw Cao Dahua and others standing in front of the gate waiting from afar.
"Boss, this is Cai Jingming." Cao Dahua pulled the middle-aged man next to him and introduced him.
"Thank you for your hard work during this period." Chen Yansen raised his hand, patted the other person on the shoulder, and encouraged him with a smile.
Cai Jingming is in his early forties, with a 3:7 hairstyle and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He was formerly the vice president of Pegatron's Shanghai branch, and was poached by Cao Dahua with a high salary to serve as the head of Factory No. 4.
Chen Yansen had only talked to him on the phone, and this was the first time they met.
"Thank you for your trust, boss. I have worked in Pegatron for many years and have rich experience in production management, supply chain management and cost control..." Cai Jingming said.
"Mr. Cai, since you can pass the interview, it means that I recognize you, no need to say more."
Chen Yansen waved his hand and interrupted Cai Jingming.
He did not have high requirements for the person in charge of Orange Factory No. 4, as long as there were no problems in production and daily management.
Cai Jingming has worked at Pegatron for many years, especially in the mobile phone OEM field, and is more than qualified for this position.
"Boss, this is Lin Qingbai, the chief researcher of Shenzhen Orange Lab. He was previously in charge of mobile phone and tablet computer research and development at Foxconn. The Orange Bluetooth headset that will be released at the end of this month is his first product after joining the company."
While Cao Dahua was speaking, he pushed a young man wearing black-framed glasses to his side.
He was about thirty years old, wearing a black suit and a blue tie. His style was very similar to that of Kent Tong, and his hair was shiny with greasy wax.
"Hello, boss." Lin Qingbai bowed and greeted, being extremely humble.
"I've seen the design drawings of the Orange Bluetooth headset. You've put a lot of effort into the selection of the diaphragm, coil, magnet unit, and wire material. But for this in-ear design, you also have to consider the wearing comfort."
Chen Yansen reminded in a calm tone.
Although Lin Qingbai's design would have scored 90 points in 2012, from his perspective as a veteran, the ear-hook design is still too ugly. However, due to technical issues, this is already the best solution at present.
"Okay, boss. I understand." Lin Qingbai nodded in agreement and did not take Chen Yansen's words as a joke.
As a researcher at Orange Technology, although he had only been employed for a few months, he had vaguely learned that the hardware design and battery management system of Orange mobile phones were inseparable from the influence of the big boss.
This is a young entrepreneur who really understands technology! Lin Qingbai can naturally listen to suggestions. If it were someone else, he would definitely spray back without hesitation: "I am the person in charge of R&D, you know nothing about design."
"Mr. Cai, I heard that you have recruited a lot of college students?" Chen Yansen looked at Cai Jingming and asked.
"I asked the human resources department to collect data on the educational background of the employees. 23% have a bachelor's degree or above, 39% have a high school degree, and 38% have a junior high school degree or below. In fact, most of them are students from second- and third-tier universities."
"I think it's a good thing to have a certain proportion of undergraduate employees. It will be much easier to select production line leaders, equipment technicians and production planners in the future. It can be regarded as a reserve of talents."
Cai Jingming said frankly.
Pegatron Electronics Factory also has a similar talent reserve strategy. The team leaders or supervisors promoted from the production workshop understand both production and management, and the labor cost expenditure is lower than that through social recruitment channels.
"Not bad." Chen Yansen praised simply.
"Boss, Mr. Meng is here." Cao Dahua suddenly said.
Chen Yansen looked up and saw a black Audi A6 with a license plate with a very small number slowly approaching.
"Lao Cao, you have a good eye." Chen Yansen joked.
Cao Dahua chuckled.
Five minutes later, the Audi stopped.
The first person to get out of the car was Tao Jingwen. Before her feet even touched the ground, she jogged around the car, opened the door for Meng Yuanzhi, and protected the upper edge of the door to prevent him from hitting his head.
As expected of the Chief Secretary of the Central Department, this set of movements is as smooth as flowing water.
Others might appear to be fawning when doing this, but Tao Jingwen remained calm throughout the whole process, which did not arouse the slightest disgust.
"Mr. Meng, Secretary Tao."
Chen Yansen took the initiative to step forward and greeted them, and introduced the identities of Cao Dahua and Cai Jingming.
"I've waited for more than three months. That's a really long time."
Meng Yuanzhi smiled slightly, teasing with deep meaning, and glanced at Tao Jingwen out of the corner of his eye.
Tao Jingwen immediately understood what her boss meant, and quickly took out two business cards from her pocket and handed them to Cao Dahua and Cai Jingming respectively.
"Good things are worth waiting for. I believe that all the preliminary preparations can guarantee stable production capacity and high yield rate." Chen Yansen responded.
"Can the order volume keep up?" Meng Yuanzhi asked with concern.
Chen Yansen's face froze and he cursed in his heart: You are really bringing up things that are not relevant.
Including the mobile phone OEM orders from Xiaomi and Huawei, as well as the mobile power supply orders from Orange, it can barely absorb one-third of the production capacity.
This is also the reason why the factory only recruited more than 5,000 people.
According to his plan, Factory No. 4 will have to undergo two large-scale recruitments before it can be initially fully staffed, thereby releasing the maximum production capacity.
Meng Yuanzhi looked at Chen Yansen, and understood in his heart. He smiled and waved his hand and said, "You are right. Good things are worth waiting for. Everything will take its time."
More than 5,000 social security jobs were not a small number in 2012.
Chen Yansen accompanied Meng Yuanzhi to the main venue of the unveiling ceremony. After the two sat down, Chen Yansen took the opportunity to mention the license plate of Kuaidi Taxi and asked.
“We can give you a license, but it can only be used by 500 full-time drivers at most.”
Meng Yuanzhi pondered for a while and then spoke.
The license was granted, but restrictions were added.
"Thank you, Mr. Meng."
Chen Yansen understood the other party's subtext. As long as no one reviewed it, he would be fine with asking 5,000, 50,000, or 500,000.
But if the higher-ups ask about it, Meng Yuanzhi would only reply that he had only issued compliance licenses to 500 full-time drivers.
With the achievements made, Meng Yuanzhi deserved a share of the profits.
If something goes wrong, Meng Yuanzhi can distance himself from it immediately.
Chen Yansen smiled and skipped this topic. Some things just need to be understood in your heart and must never be asked, because asking will not work.
"Xucheng is not big enough for you to develop. Have you ever thought about building your own group headquarters in Luzhou?"
Meng Yuanzhi suggested.
He has inquired and found out that the offices of Orange Technology, Orange Pay, Today Technology and Pinbei Mall are all crowded in Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park, so there is no problem for the time being.
However, these companies are expanding at an extremely fast speed. In another two years, the entire science and technology park may not be able to accommodate Chen Yansen’s employees.
"I've thought about it, but I don't have the money." Chen Yansen spread his hands, the meaning of his words was not too obvious.
Meng Yuanzhi smiled. There were not many young people as shameless as Chen Yansen. For ordinary college student entrepreneurs, if they did not tremble when speaking in front of him, they were considered to have a stable mentality.
"I can provide you with a low-interest loan. For industrial land, the price per square meter is 150-375 yuan. Don't even think about getting it for free, but you can get the price 40-50% off through land use tax exemptions, land transfer fee refunds and infrastructure subsidies."
Meng Yuanzhi suppressed his smile and spoke frankly.
"An interest-free loan is still good enough." Chen Yansen muttered softly.
He did plan to move the company's headquarters to Shanghai after graduation. Luzhou was not out of the question, but the benefits had to satisfy him.
Moreover, building the headquarters in Luzhou will not affect his future construction of a branch in Shanghai. He can just get the benefits first.
"Interest-free? You dare to think about it! When Dongfang settled in Luzhou, he didn't dare to ask for it." Meng Yuanzhi smiled and shook his head.
He can make concessions within the rules, but if he does something outside the rules, even if it's just a little bit, there will be countless eyes staring at him.
"It's just a joke, Mr. Meng, don't take it seriously. The loan amount this time can't be as stingy as last time. 3 billion is no problem, right?"
Chen Yansen asked seriously.
"Spending 3 billion to build a headquarters? How much industrial land do you want?"
Meng Yuanzhi was speechless, thinking that Chen Yansen was talking nonsense again.
"400,000 square meters is probably barely enough."
Chen Yansen said calmly.
400,000 square meters?
You think you're building a factory? Meng Yuanzhi couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, Chen Yansen could only emphasize again: "Ali's Taobao City in Xixi, Hangzhou, covers an area of 260,000 square meters. In a few years, Pinbei's market size may not be inferior to Taobao. In addition, there are Orange Technology, Today Technology and Orange Payment. Is 400,000 square meters a lot?"
When Meng Yuanzhi heard this, his eyebrows immediately twisted together. He looked at Chen Yansen and realized that the other party's ambition was greater than he thought.
400,000 square meters may seem large, but in the end it is only 600 acres of industrial land.
Of course he can do it!
"Mr. Meng, I don't ask for much. If you give me discounts everywhere, I would rather give up Luzhou. To be honest, my first choice is Shanghai."
Chen Yansen glanced at Meng Yuanzhi and spoke before the other party could speak.
Meng Yuanzhi laughed. He wanted to say, "3 billion is too much. How about 2 billion?"
But when he met Chen Yansen's determined look, he swallowed his words back, nodded heavily, and said proudly: "No problem, I promise you everything."
He was afraid that if he continued to bargain, Chen Yansen would just walk away, which would be embarrassing.
As ten o'clock approached, people who came to attend the unveiling ceremony gradually arrived.
In addition to several bigwigs from the central department, there are also CEOs of more than a dozen companies such as Luzhou Urban Construction, Xincheng International, TCL, and Dongfang, as well as print media, streaming media and television media reporters in Hui'an Province.
As soon as everyone came on stage to cut the ribbon, the shutter buttons in the audience started to sound.
"The first phase of Orange Technology's Luzhou factory has officially started production, with an annual production capacity of tens of millions of flagship mobile phones!"
"Meng Yuanzhi and Mr. Chen Yansen, founder of Senlian Capital, cut the ribbon together!"
"Unveiling the Orange Smartphone Factory: More than 5,000 employees and a daily production capacity of 30,000 units!"
"Orange Mobile Phone Factory: The proportion of first-line operators with bachelor's degrees is as high as 23%!"
Before Chen Yansen stepped down from the stage, reporters had already drafted the news headlines.
The staff of "Xin'an Night Sky" is negotiating with Cao Dahua, wanting to invite Chen Yansen to participate in their talk show.
In the afternoon of the same day, Senlian Capital announced that it had completed the acquisition of AutoNavi Maps.
This is a formal response to the previous rumors!
Soon, the news that a 20-year-old young entrepreneur spent 4.6 billion to buy AutoNavi Maps became a hot topic.
Some netizens even joked: "Mr. Chen asked his secretary to buy a map, and ended up spending 4.6 billion to buy an AutoNavi map."
"Damn it! We are all 20 years old, and they spent 4.6 billion in one go. It's hard for me to pay 46 yuan."
at the same time.
Kuaidi Taxi’s Luzhou branch was also established on the same day.
The explosive popularity of the online ride-hailing model finally gave Cheng Wei, who was far away in Yanjing, his first chance to raise funds.
