Xing Baohua said to Kong Xianling, "Let's put this aside for now, I'll consider it later."
Xing Baohua then continued, "Our current office conditions are limited, and I don't have any extra office space available for you at the moment. How about this?"
This place is very close to Shangguzhuang. There are classrooms at a village-run primary school over there. Would you like to use them for now?
Kong Xianling waved his hand and said, "We don't need to use this for now. I've already spoken with Director Li, and we'll temporarily use two rooms on the first floor of the laboratory building as an office and an activity room."
Upon hearing his words, Xing Baohua narrowed his eyes.
This puts him in a dilemma?
But I was a little angry inside.
He then said, "I don't work in the office often. Here, you can use my office. I'll also clear out the small office across the street for you to use as an activity room."
“You’re the factory manager, how can I let you move things! It’s quite spacious over there,” Old Kong said with a smile, waving his hand.
"You know the strict nature of the laboratory building, right? It's very difficult for ordinary people to enter. If you're not a staff member of the laboratory building, you're not allowed to enter."
If you need to hold a meeting or something, and many people can't get in, it will increase the difficulty of your work. I'm giving up my office to make it easier for you to work.
Xing Baohua has made her point very clear: she doesn't like people coming and going from the laboratory building at will.
Perhaps this newcomer, Lao Kong, doesn't yet understand that there are restricted areas in an electronics factory! Maybe Director Li felt he was one of his own and trusted him, so he let him use one or two rooms in the laboratory building temporarily, even though there was no office available.
Give him a access card for the first floor so he can get around easily.
Apart from the restaurant and a small supermarket with open-air snacks and drinks, there's nothing else on the first floor of the laboratory building.
Old Kong works there by himself; it's a temporary arrangement.
But if there's something going on or a meeting that requires a venue, and he brings people inside, that's not allowed!
From the very beginning, Xing Baohua wanted to cut off his office space there. So he preferred to move himself rather than let anyone break his rules.
Old Kong also noticed that Xing Baohua's expression was not good, and his tone was a bit harsh.
He said with a smile, "Director Xing, are you trying to intimidate me? Look, I just arrived and you've already given me your office. Everyone's watching; do you think I'd dare work here?"
"Whether you dare or not is your problem. Apart from the experimental building, there are only a limited number of offices in the factory. My office is the only one that is still available. Once the new office building is completed and you move in, you can choose whichever you like."
"I didn't mean to intimidate you, but you have to move out of the office in the lab building," Xing Baohua reminded him again.
Seeing that Xing Baohua was speaking very seriously, Lao Kong nodded.
Then Xing Baohua made a phone call, and his secretary came in.
"Clear out my office and the office across the street for Lao Kong. Keep my things at your place for now," Xing Baohua said to his chief secretary as he entered.
The chief secretary glanced at Old Kong and nodded.
"If you need anything, just go to Director Xu in the office. I'm free for now, you can go back and pack your things." After saying that, Xing Baohua waved to the other person.
Just as Lao Kong was about to leave the office, Xing Baohua suddenly said, "Lao Kong."
After stopping Lao Kong, the other party turned to Xing Baohua and asked, "Is there anything else, Director Xing?"
"You are not currently an employee of the factory and do not hold any position. If there are meetings or anything at the factory that you have not been invited to, do not participate voluntarily."
Only after saying this did he let Old Kong leave.
Seeing the other person's expression change, Xing Baohua waved for them to leave again, and the secretary quickly went to close the door.
Xing Baohua picked up the phone again and called Director Li.
They were instructed that, apart from the researchers assigned to the laboratory, all administrative staff were not allowed to go to the laboratory building.
When issuing access cards, identity verification is mandatory. Whoever signs for and issues the access card will be held responsible should any problems arise.
Actually, there are three people in the factory who have this right.
Since Xing Baohua wasn't at the factory, only Factory Director Li and Director Xue had the authority to issue access cards.
Factory Director Li had received a warning from Xing Baohua. Especially since Old Kong held no official position at the factory?
Although Xing Baohua has temporarily moved out of the office, he has many places to work.
In the following days, Xing Baohua did not go to the laboratory, but instead focused on sales to understand the situation.
After making numerous calls to various dealers, and after dozens of calls, the reasons for the slow computer sales became clearer.
At that time, the computer market was highly competitive, with large distributors and dealers in major cities such as Beijing, Shenzhen, Nanjing, and Shanghai.
Leaving aside domestic brands, there are several foreign brands, such as IBM, HP, and Dell from the US.
Japanese companies include Panasonic, NEC, Fujitsu, Hitachi, and Sony.
Domestic brands include Great Wall and the New Technology Development Company of the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, plus products from Shandong Provincial Computer Company.
The company name of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was very difficult to pronounce, and it was used until 1989 when it was changed to Lenovo.
From the establishment of the computer company until the 1990s, the only thing they did was launch the Lenovo Chinese character card.
Lenovo originated from the Lenovo Chinese character card.
Xing Baohua's computers only sell well in desktop form, not laptops.
Due to the early stages, both Lenovo and Great Wall...
They already had a place in many scientific research institutions before Xing Baohua launched his computer.
Although they are all foreign brand computers, they can provide complete solutions for organizations that use computers.
Currently, Xing Baohua wants to enter this market, but he can only rely on connections and hard work.
This isn't like the early days when computers were readily available, when technicians were easily fooled. They've all played around with computers for a while, and their technical skills have improved.
