In just a few days, he became familiar with some of the senior management. Even Zhu Lidong thought he was a good person, and that he was very tactful in his speech and actions.
Lu Feng kept an eye on him without interfering too much.
Liu Cheng led his team to the Dongguan factory for the first production debugging. The overall design has been drawn up, and the next step is trial production. Because the technology is relatively mature, the experimental time is relatively short.
The technical patents of Ruixin Labs are not only in radio technology, but the most expensive ones are integrated chips and digital communication. However, the radio technology of a pager is worth at most tens of millions of RMB, and Lu Feng would not go to great lengths to buy it.
Once pagers are successfully deployed, the R&D team will immediately focus on two key areas: integrated chips and digital communication. These are also the main directions for future development.
Lu Feng still has ideas for Ruixin Lab. He wants to revive this laboratory in Sweden and turn it into an overseas base. Once Jiafeng Electronics has gained a certain reputation internationally, it can cooperate with some of the current second-tier international manufacturers, such as Nokia.
Regarding his expectations for integrated chips, he could only produce integrated chips for televisions himself first, while also supplying other domestic manufacturers. Simply put, Lu Feng was not content with just competing with his peers; he wanted to climb up the supply chain and become the father of these people.
In the afternoon, in the municipal office, Li Zhengde looked at Vice Mayor Liu sitting at his desk and asked, "Do you think I should help Jiafeng Electronics with this favor or not?"
“I… this…” Vice Mayor Liu didn’t know what to say, because no matter what he said, it wouldn’t be right.
“I don’t want to help. He already said that the main production plant in the future will be a big factory. What’s the most important thing to protect now? Of course, it’s employment. But since he chose Tianjin, it means he’s set his sights on that place. It’s just a matter of whether the money offered is enough and whether the policies are favorable enough.”
“Yes!” Vice Mayor Liu nodded.
"I'm so frustrated. If I go, I'll feel uncomfortable; if I don't go, he'll definitely keep nagging me. There's a saying that describes him quite accurately: he's like a pile of dog shit-flavored cake. He is a cake, but the taste is just wrong." Li Zhengde sighed, looking somewhat worried.
"How about we stall for time?" Vice Mayor Li suggested tentatively.
"Delay? Other companies can delay, but can Jiafeng Electronics delay? There's only one outstanding and innovative private enterprise in the whole country, and the higher-ups have even praised it. Plus, with all those connections, if they keep dragging their feet, who'll get scolded if it gets reported? What kind of awareness do you have?" Li Zhengde said irritably.
"Yes, yes, yes, then let's ask around for him and try to get some favorable terms," Vice Mayor Liu said, changing his approach.
"What is my identity? What is my status in Tianjin? This...this...what's wrong with your brain?"
Vice Mayor Liu felt like crying. It seemed that nothing he did worked; he was just a punching bag.
"Then what should we do about this?" Vice Mayor Liu asked helplessly.
"Look at you, when there's a problem, you can't even use your brain, all you do is ask me questions. I can't do anything else all day. You're in this position to solve problems, not just pass them on." Li Zhengde scolded for a while, then sighed and said, "It's inconvenient for me to handle this myself, so you handle it. Don't let them know I know about this. Once it's done, report back to me."
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away," Vice Mayor Liu replied.
"In your personal name!"
After Vice Mayor Liu left, Li Zhengde sat there in a daze. Lu Feng had really given him a difficult problem. This was one of the few solutions available. The two cities were of similar status, and in fact, everyone secretly compared and learned from each other.
Everyone has a competitive spirit.
When Vice Mayor Liu made a call, it was different from when Lu Feng made a call. The call was answered directly in the municipal office. When the other party heard that they were going to hand over a large factory, they were overjoyed.
"Since you've called on behalf of your city, things are more open to discussion, especially since Jiafeng Electronics is such a good company, right?"
"No, no, no, I'm only speaking for myself," Vice Mayor Liu hurriedly explained.
"I know your place is small and your business can't expand much, I understand, everything is negotiable," the person on the other end of the phone said with a smile.
