It's impossible not to feel pressure. The larger Jiafeng Electronics grows, the more difficult it will be to increase its output. After all, it's easy to revitalize a small factory, but it's extremely difficult to increase the output of a large enterprise by several percentage points.
Su Yourong promised Lu Feng that she would help him contact President Li and smooth things over in the next few days to see if there would be any progress. In the afternoon, Lu Feng went to the company. Today was the third day of the Lunar New Year, and Wei Yandan had already returned.
A number of people began to arrive at the company headquarters, but formal work had not yet resumed. Wei Yandan handed over the progress of the headquarters building project and gave Lu Feng a brief report.
Du Guoying also began to recruit talent for the marketing department of the telecommunications company. He still had to rely on Zhu Lidong. If he wanted to gather a full range of talents at all levels in a short period of time, he could only recruit people from the headquarters marketing department.
"Pay close attention to the situation in Tianjin. The factory must be built this year and put into production next year. If it's not put into production next year, then the production capacity will be completely insufficient." Lu Feng said to Wei Yandan with a serious expression, "This year is a year of major expansion, which is destined to be very tiring. As I said before, promote capable people who should be promoted, and try not to bring in people from outside."
"I'll keep an eye on personnel matters. I'll focus my energy on Tianjin these next few days," Wei Yandan nodded.
"Ask around for any available resources. I don't have much time for this; I'll be busy with communications later." After giving a few instructions, Lu Feng went to the R&D company.
Over the next few days, Lu Feng basically shuttled between the headquarters and the R&D company. The pager's design had been finalized, and mass production in March was not a problem. He also visited the construction site of the headquarters building, where the construction was progressing relatively quickly.
After all, the current construction speed cannot compare with the speed in ten or twenty years. It is expected to be put into use in three or four years, and this will become Jiafeng Electronics' largest physical asset.
Su Yourong was still helping to contact that President Li, who seemed very willing to help. He used a lot of connections and finally gave the answer that the price of industrial land could be cheaper and the bank could lend more money. The problem was, who would build the large factory area covering tens of thousands of acres?
There's a trick to this.
The choice of which company to undertake the project involves many issues. Mr. Li's meaning on the phone was very straightforward: if it were handed over to one of the two local construction companies, the approval process would be much faster, and if he could get a share, everyone would be happy.
When Lu Feng first heard this, he immediately understood that the so-called division of the project was nothing more than an attempt to subcontract and sell the contract.
Whether it was Jiafeng Electronics or the previously mentioned Jiamei Foods, with the construction of numerous factories, Lu Feng understood the ins and outs of the business. Previously, so many factories were either put out to public tender or the local municipal government helped inquire with state-owned enterprises.
In terms of quality, it won't be that bad. Whether the amount of money is large or small, it's all paid by the local bank. It's just money being transferred from one hand to the other, and they know the situation themselves.
As for private contracting followed by subcontracting, Lu Feng didn't want to do it, because if there were problems with unpaid wages for workers, it would affect the construction progress.
It was already the tenth day of the lunar month. Su Yourong was half-lying on the sofa watching TV, and said lazily, "If you don't understand that area, you have to make connections with them. Otherwise, why would they be so enthusiastic in helping you? They just want to get a contract. That's all I can do to help you."
"Didn't you say you were only staying a few days before leaving?" Lu Feng slapped her on the bottom and said, "It's already the tenth of the month, aren't you leaving yet?"
"I called the company and said I didn't want to go to work. Let me be lazy for a few more days." Su Yourong said, turning over and hugging a cushion to her chest. "No wonder those women don't want to work hard. They just lie at home every day, watching TV dramas and doing laundry. It's so comfortable. I don't even want to work hard anymore."
"Then find someone to marry!" Lu Feng said casually.
"You still won't marry me? Even if you did, you'd still cheat on me. If you're ever unhappy, I'd have to watch your mood, carefully serving you, always smiling. I guess I'll just have to try my best." Su Yourong leaned her head against the sofa armrest, somewhat dazed, and said, "Being a woman is so hard!"
Lu Feng didn't want to argue with her; she'd been like this for the past few days.
The phone on the table rang. Lu Feng stood up, walked over, and answered the phone, saying, "This is Lu Feng. Who is this?"
"Mr. Lu, you have so many phone numbers. I had to call several before I could reach you." The voice of Vice Mayor Liu came from the other end of the phone: "Good news, guess what it is."
"Don't tell me you're going to give me money?" Lu Feng joked. "I can't handle such a big surprise."
“Everyone has to have dreams, right? You absolutely must come to the symposium for outstanding innovative technology entrepreneurs tomorrow morning. This is a big event. Didn’t I tell you last year that hard work always pays off? The country sees and remembers how hard you work on R&D.” Vice Mayor Liu said in an exceptionally gentle voice, “You must come.”
"Okay, I'll definitely come!"
Lu Feng exchanged a few polite words and hung up the phone, feeling somewhat surprised. Why did it really feel like he was about to receive a large sum of money?
In 1994, in order to continuously promote technological and industrial upgrading, the state launched an industrial transformation program four years after key industries made great breakthroughs. However, there were still problems such as incomplete upgrading and weak technology. In order to stimulate independent innovation and technological accumulation, a subsidy policy was implemented for important R&D enterprises.
Ninety percent of the funds went to state-owned enterprises, while private enterprises also received some preferential treatment.
In particular, Jiafeng Electronics' achievements are quite remarkable. At such a critical moment, whoever innovates in technology and breaks the foreign technology monopoly will be the one who is truly outstanding!
