517. Counselor's Warning
The advertising fee for a year was sold for 50 million, which greatly alleviated Zhou Fangyuan's financial pressure.
Of course, according to his thoughts, this money can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket at present, but considering that the most important thing at the moment is the mobile phone production line, these tens of millions are enough to build a production line.
At this stage, there is really no need for too much scale, because the Far Traveler S1 is just a test of the waters, whether it can be affirmed by the market, especially the affirmation of the domestic market, everything is still unknown, at least in Zhou Fangyuan's memory, it seems that similar mobile phones have never been on fire, so at this stage, the company is still based on technology accumulation, at the same time, the first launch of S1 mobile phone, on the one hand, is to enrich their own mobile phone model library, you can do follow-up planning, but also to start the company's fame, otherwise when the tide of smart phones arrives, a domestic brand that has never heard of the name may be sold well in China, but abroad, if you want to open the market, it is relatively troublesome.
Looking at the domestic mobile phones in the original time and space, you can see how difficult it is to open foreign markets. Although in the end, domestic mobile phones have indeed produced a lot of repercussions on a global scale and have a large number of global users, but the time, money and market lost in this are difficult to measure.
Therefore, Zhou Fangyuan will start to seize the market now, and then start selling smartphones when the time is right, and establish the status of a world-class mobile phone brand in one fell swoop.
All of this is a one-by-one process, and it is not something that can be done by saying it.
Before, Andy wanted Zhou Fangyuan to buy a production line for the production of S1 mobile phones, and Zhou Fangyuan agreed at that time, but at that time, he had just finished buying Blizzard's shares and bought Lin Yueya's father's company, and the money in his hand was almost spent, and continuing to withdraw funds would have hidden dangers to the group's capital chain, so he didn't dare to do that. Now to make a public bicycle, I will recover 50 million funds at once, as well as the deposit and pre-deposit amount in the cycling card, which add up to more than 10 million, 60 million, enough to get one or two production lines.
One production line should be enough for domestic use, but considering the foreign market, he still decided to add one production line, a total of two. Of course, there will be more production lines in the future, but that's for another time.
Andy is responsible for the equipment needed for the production line, and as the direct developer of the S1, he knows better than anyone what equipment he needs.
As for the plant, Zhou Fangyuan thought about it and decided to put it in Beitong City.
There are several reasons for this, first of all, Beitong City is his hometown, and the hometown complex makes him have some preference for feelings.
Secondly, Yuanfang Group is a star enterprise in Beishan Province, and the two masters of Beitong City are also very optimistic about him, and a lot of support will be given in all aspects, whether it is land approval or related policies, Zhou Fangyuan can enjoy great convenience in Beitong City, and even some things that cannot be put on the table can not be done in other cities, but can be done in Beitong City, so he has no reason to give up Beitong City.
Third, there is the problem of labor. Domestic labor has always been relatively cheap, and this will not improve slightly until more than a decade later. Although the overall is cheap, it is not exactly the same price, some places are expensive labor, some places are cheap, and Beitong City, as a third- and fourth-tier city in the country, labor costs are needless to say that they are the cheapest. Moreover, the climate of Beitong City is also good, dry and wet matters, the temperature is stable, there will be no large changes in temperature and humidity, and a stable environment is also very important for the electronics industry. Places that are too arid or too humid and have an unstable climate are actually not suitable for electronic equipment manufacturers to settle in.
Of course, if you are willing to spend money to separate dry and wet in the factory, and forcibly control the temperature and humidity by the means you think, then of course there is no problem, even in Antarctica, you can build a factory. But now that the group has just started, there are too many places to use money, and Zhou Fangyuan is far from being comfortable spending money, so a natural and stable environment is what he needs. At this point, Beitong is very suitable.
Finally, it is the problem of transportation, today's logistics industry has not been developed in later generations, a factory and an enterprise, especially in the manufacturing industry, if you want to become bigger and stronger, it is also very important to have a good traffic environment. And Beitong City, since ancient times is the junction of many provinces, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has become an important transportation hub of the three northern provinces, although the economic development of Beitong City itself is very slow, but Beitong City has a unique transportation advantage.
First of all, the terrain around Kitaki City is flat, and although there are many mountains, it is still in the plain terrain in general.
Secondly, the traffic of Beitong City is relatively developed, the railway network connects all major cities and regions in the country, and currently has its own airport, although there is no waterway, but in a few years, the sixth train speed, a total of more than 6,000 kilometers per hour of 200 kilometers of railway, there are two through Beitong, Beitong mainly connects Qinchuan, Beijing, Fengtian and other important cities, after the opening of high-speed rail, Beitong is also a relatively early city in the country to open high-speed rail, it can be said that the traffic of Beitong City is quite developed.
Combined with all the above factors, and finally after adding his own emotional bias and comprehensive consideration, Zhou Fangyuan still decided to build a factory in Beitong.
And he also has an idea, that is, to relocate distant technology to Beitong, although it is indeed very good here in the capital, but there are many people here, it is really a headache. It stands to reason that the mobile phone industry is actually not a great industry, but Zhou Fangyuan knows how important what he is doing now, and the creature of commercial espionage, although it is not as mysterious as it is said, is definitely something that no one wants to see. Compared with the capital, the environment in Beitong is relatively simple, and it is still very convenient for protecting secrets. And it's my home base, so it's easy to solve any problems.
So long before he left Beitong last time, he had already greeted Mayor Liu, who had specially reserved a piece of 5,000 acres of industrial land for Zhou Fangyuan in the development zone east of the Ganhe River for him to carry out the construction of the factory. And here you can see the benefits of building a factory in Beitong, all of Zhou Fangyuan's actions in the early days were basically nothing.
From land grants, to the construction of factories, materials, etc., basically all of them are on credit, except for labor, he has not spent a penny at present. Of course, he will not default on the money, he just said in advance to all parties, the money will definitely be given, but it will take half a year, including the money for land approval, and the payment time has been delayed by him for half a year. This frees up time for him to withdraw his funds, and he won't be stuck too much.
Now that the leveling and foundation of the factory building have been basically completed, workers are building the factory, and it is estimated that the factory will be built in another month at most.
So Zhou Fangyuan has also called Andy to talk about the production line, Andy has pulled out the list, except for the most basic lathe carrier of the production line, the other equipment is single, zero, order, after all, each production line is different, the mobile phone is different, the production line will be slightly different. And Zhou Fangyuan didn't buy those second-hand production lines, so these two production lines need to be DIY by themselves. Fortunately, this thing itself is not complicated, Andy knows what equipment they need, buys the corresponding equipment, and finds an engineer to build the production line.
The list and money were handed over to the professionals, and Zhou Fangyuan no longer thought about this problem.
Now he has one more problem to face – and that's the final exam!
It's funny to say, he is really incompetent as a student, he has attended less than twenty days of classes at most in a semester of study, compared to other students, if he is under normal circumstances, then 1,000% will be dissuaded. After all, this is Jingcheng University, not the kind of pheasant university, pheasant university in order to make money, you can go to it if you have money, it doesn't matter how you mess around. However, Jingcheng University also has to consider their own academic style and school spirit, and people like Zhou Fangyuan are invisibly equivalent to destroying the school spirit of Jingcheng University and setting a bad example for other students. If it is an ordinary student, even if it is not fully withdrawn, repeating grades and warnings are indispensable.
But Zhou Fangyuan is different, Professor Tian is behind him, and the great god comes forward, so it is naturally calm. And his identity is different now, the chairman of the Yuanfang Group, the initiator of the public bicycle, this is still a movie that has not been released, after the movie is released, especially after the ghost movie is released, he will become a well-known director. Although the university also teaches cultural knowledge, it is more important to teach life and life skills, Zhou Fangyuan has today's success, and it is also a highlight of window dressing for Beijing University.
For example, Zhou Fangyuan is now in the office of his homeroom teacher, that is, the counselor.
The counselor of Zhou Fangyuan's class is a middle-aged woman in her fifties, a professor at Jingcheng University, who teaches politics, and is said to have a close friendship with Professor Tian. Zhou Fangyuan once thought irresponsibly about whether his counselor had some such and such a relationship with Professor Tian, but he put this idea behind him after thinking about it a little, which was too disrespectful to Professor Tian and his counselor. But the counselor really didn't have anything to say to him, he usually didn't go to class, didn't attend, and even wasn't at school for a whole month, and the counselor didn't say anything, but occasionally cared about his life when he met him, and often told him to pay attention to his body.
When I returned to the dormitory yesterday, I met the counselor when I asked my fellow dormitory students to go out to dinner, and the counselor asked him to come to the office today.
Zhou Fangyuan probably knew what the counselor was looking for him to do, so he packed himself up early this morning and came to the counselor's office.
"Zhou Fangyuan, you have missed a lot of classes this semester. ”
The counselor casually flipped through the attendance sheet and said helplessly.
"Hehe, this, Mr. Liu, I can't help it, I need to do a lot of things in the house, and many things have to be done by myself, and I am also very helpless. ”
Zhou Fangyuan scratched his head and said with a smile.
"I know your situation, this public bicycle is good, now all colleges and universities in our capital have your company's public bicycles, and the students' evaluation of public bicycles is also very high, and Professor Tian has also found the leadership of our college, we also try to turn a blind eye to you, but this is not good, you are here to go to school, you still have to complete the necessary studies, if you shake over the four years of college, it is not a good thing for you. You should also understand that college not only teaches you cultural knowledge, but also teaches you the principles of life, and the study during college can shape a person's temperament very well, no matter which point, it is very important for you. So I hope that in the next semester, you can appropriately increase your time on campus, work things, and delegate power if you can, understand? Don't tie your whole person to business, while making money, we should embellish our soul and spirit, instead of becoming a slave to money. ”
Teacher Liu pushed his eyes and said helplessly.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Liu, what you said is right, I must pay attention to it next semester, I must pay attention. ”
Zhou Fangyuan hurriedly said with a smile.
He has always been very respectful of his teachers.
To be honest, today's teachers are still very respectable, and it is really hard to say how much teacher morality is left for teachers in more than ten years.
It's like Zhou Fangyuan had a few words with the eldest sister in the commissary downstairs before he was reborn, and her son who was in elementary school gave her a headache. Let's not talk about whether the study is good or not, let's just say that the teachers in the school, to what extent have the teachers gone too far after more than ten years? All the teaching content is only taught once in class, and it doesn't matter if they understand or not, but after school, the students in the class have to go to the teacher to make up the lessons, and the real learning is actually completed in the cram school. Of course, there are also students who don't go to make up classes, it's not impossible to make up classes, and teachers won't deliberately toss students because of this, but if you expect the teacher to take care of it, then you don't have to think about it.
There is also homework, the teacher actually asked parents to leave homework for students, and asked to grasp the focus of teaching - at that time, the eldest sister was very unhappy when she talked about this, she said that if parents can grasp the focus of the school's teaching, and can give students the right homework, then what else do teachers do? But this is a real fact, although not all teachers are like this, but this has become a common phenomenon. Therefore, future teachers are not worthy of respect, they really treat education as a business to do.
As for today's teachers, at least they still have the most moral qualities, and they will treat them with a serious attitude when teaching.
"Okay, I won't say anything about you, this is the general content of this exam, you can take a look, remember it in your mind after reading it, go out and don't tell others, this is the biggest help I can give you." ”
Teacher Liu reluctantly took out a few pieces of paper, which were all the direction of this final exam, there was no specific topic, but knowing the direction, it was relatively easy to review.
