The first thing Wan Feng dealt with when he came back was not any major matter of the company, but the first person who asked for small amounts of money.
Wan Feng had not been sitting in the office for more than ten minutes when the office phone rang.
"Wai! Hello!"
"You finally come to work, give me your money!"
"Who's going to give me money just by asking for it? Someone in my family has been kidnapped?"
Laughter rang out from the phone: "Little bastard, why can't I figure out what's going on in your head?"
Wan Feng recognized Liang Guoyong's voice. "It's Uncle Liang! I thought you were a kidnapper! What money do you want? I don't think I owe you any money, do I?"
"Why not? On September 21st, Hongya County was abolished and turned into a city. You promised to pay for it."
This matter!
"How much did I agree to pay?" I have no recollection of it at all, completely forgotten.
Of course, it is normal to forget to pay others, but you must never forget the money you owe.
"You promised to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars back then."
"How much?!" Wan Feng almost flew off his chair.
Am I such a spendthrift?
"Don't yell. This time our county's transformation into a city is a big deal. As Hongya's top entrepreneur, it's only natural for you to take some of the celebratory money."
"Is it okay not to take it?"
If it weren't for the phone call, Liang Guoyong would have killed Wan Feng with a big snot.
"Hahaha, Uncle Liang was just joking. This is a big deal for our county, so of course I'll contribute money and effort. How about this: I'll give you 500,000 yuan in cash, plus five new and used pickup trucks, which makes exactly one million yuan. Is that okay?"
"Okay, that's great!"
Wan Feng certainly knew the importance of abolishing counties and transforming them into cities. Counties and cities are not hierarchical systems in any way.
After becoming a city, not only will its status be elevated, but there will also be many preferential policies. Many of these preferential policies will benefit companies like his, so spending some money to celebrate is nothing.
"I'll transfer the money right away and give me an account."
After Wan Feng wrote down the account number, he asked the accountant to transfer the money.
We have to wait for the county committee to send a driver to drive the car. Will he deliver it to us? We have to wait!
After dealing with these things, Wan Feng began to look at the company's performance during the month he was away.
There doesn't seem to be anything new here at Nanwan Group, everything is pretty much the same as before.
The only thing to be happy about is that the production line for scooters is being installed, and the modification of the microcar production line has been completed and is being selected for installation.
Nanwan Automobile in the development zone has increased its sales of flat-head trucks.
From the time the flat-head truck rolled off the production line to July 15th, a total of 1,800 units were sold.
Just when Wan Feng was getting bored, the last report appeared in front of him.
On July 12, Mi Guangnan's team successfully developed their own motherboard and named it Hualing.
Did Mi Guangnan develop a motherboard? It's not slow, but I don't know how it performs.
Now that I have a motherboard, a CPU, memory and flash memory, it seems that I can make a computer by just adding a hard drive and a floppy drive!
But now seems like a bad time to work on computers.
Ever since foreign computers entered China last year, domestic computers have suffered a crushing defeat. Both Inspur and Great Wall have been beaten without any chance to fight back. Otherwise, Inspur would not have worked with Motorola to research the Chinese display machine.
Only Lianxiang is still struggling in the low-end market.
Is it a bit inappropriate for me to push the computer now?
If this is launched, I will probably lose money, but not launching it will definitely not work.
Mi Guangnan started playing on the computer as soon as he spoke. It was obvious that he had not vented his resentment yet. He wanted to challenge Lian Xiang to a duel.
Of course you have to keep your promise when you make it to others.
Then push it!
Fortunately, the group can produce many components itself, so even if there is a loss, the loss will not be too much.
Thinking of this, Wan Feng picked up the phone and called Mi Guangnan's office.
"Mr. Mi! Congratulations on making our own motherboard."
Mi Guangnan's laughter came from the microphone, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.
"Now we have the motherboard, the CPU, the memory, and the flash memory. Can we build a computer?"
"Boss Wan! I've already assembled a computer prototype."
"Oh! Really?"
"If you don't believe me, come and see."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Mi Guangnan's computer configuration is Hope No. 2 CPU, two 4M memory sticks, and a self-developed motherboard with performance reaching the advanced level in China at that time. The motherboard also has an ISA port graphics card with a Chinese character hard font library, which was also developed by Mi Guangnan himself. The hard drive and floppy drive had to be purchased.
Mi Guangnan introduced the performance of this computer. He said that compared with foreign computer brands in China at that time, such as Kangpa and Dell, this computer's performance was guaranteed to be no less than theirs.
"What's the price?"
Wanfeng's main concern is price.
"The cost is nine thousand, and the main expense is the monitor, which costs over six thousand."
A 14-inch spherical monitor costs this much, and a computer monitor accounts for two-thirds of the cost of the computer.
At that time, the brands were Mitsubishi, Sony, ViewSonic and Apple.
The price of these spherical things would only drop after the arrival of the Trinitron flat-panel display in two years.
“Isn’t there any domestic production?”
Mi Guangnan shook his head.
Wan Feng thought for a moment and said to Mi Guangnan, "I'll contact the supplier of monitors right away, and then we'll find a solution."
Wan Feng returned to the office and immediately called Lin Lairong: "I need 10,000 of the latest computer monitors. I want the lowest price, no more than 4,000 yuan."
"I'll contact him."
More than ten minutes later, an angry Lin Lairong called back: "A computer monitor that doesn't cost more than 4,000 yuan? Mr. Wan! You can go to the department now."
"Is there anyone in Xianggang who manufactures computer monitors? Even if the technology is a little backward, it's fine."
“We only make accessories, not complete machines.”
The electronics industry in Hunan and Hong Kong was actually quite prosperous in the 1980s and 1990s. There were more than 1,300 manufacturers, more than 100,000 employees, and its output value ranked second among all industries in Hunan and Hong Kong at that time.
Unfortunately, they only make low-end products like electronic watches and radios, and also make accessories for others.
"What's the cheapest price you can negotiate?"
"The cheapest one costs 5,200 yuan. If I take it to Xianggang, I have to carry 100 yuan."
"I'll give you 5,300 yuan, but you'll need to bring me 10,000 units first."
"Ah! I only make one million from selling ten thousand monitors! That's not even worth the money I've earned."
"I'm prepared to lose money on this product, but at least you're making money, that's all."
Wan Feng hung up the phone with a click, and Lin Lairong was so angry that he jumped up from the bed with his naked butt.
This woman likes to sleep naked.
After hanging up the phone, Wan Feng frowned. The cost of 5,300 yuan was too expensive. He had to find a way himself.
Wan Feng sat in the chair and started thinking.
Invest in production yourself?
He had tinkered with monitors a lot in his previous life.
When he moved to Wulu Town in the latter part of his previous life, there was an Internet cafe on each side of his house, and he often repaired monitors for them.
