Chapter 212: Don't Be a "Sweatshop"
Chapter 212: Don't be a "sweatshop"
"Brother, all the shares of Boulder Technology, of course, belong to me. ”
Chen Jialin was waiting for Hu Yang to ask, but he didn't expect the other party to really cooperate. So, Chen Shao raised his head high and replied very loudly.
However, Chen Jialin's momentum only lasted less than a minute, and then he wilted.
"Brother Hu, this billion Hong Kong dollars is the last support that the old man gave me. In the future, the Chen family's estate will probably be inherited by my eldest brother, and from now on everything will depend on me. ”
With Chen Jialin's explanation, Hu Yang figured out the ins and outs of this matter.
It turned out that Chen Hao had asked Chen Jialin to set up his own business, transferred Xiangjiang Weida Electronics Co., Ltd. to his son, and gave him the last billion Hong Kong dollars.
Chen Hao did not keep the shares of Shengyi Electronics Co., Ltd. held by Xiangjiang Weida Electronics, but transferred them to the name of another company of his own.
In other words, Chen Jialin was swept out of the house by his son?
Hu Yang smiled and shook his head, this kind of thing is normal. For example, the situation like Li Kaize is similar to Chen Jialin, and people are not very prosperous.
"Chen Shao, uncle must have a deep meaning in doing this. Besides, what's so bad about being able to stand on your own? Being able to set up your own door means that your uncle is very optimistic about your abilities, and you should be happy. ”
Brother Hu, let's not talk about this, let's continue to talk about increasing capital and shares. ”
Chen Jialin has always been an optimistic character, and it is useless to think about more things that have become facts, so let's take care of the present.
The two discussed and finally reached an agreement, Chen Jialin invested 77.5 billion Hong Kong dollars in Boulder Technology, and Hu Yang invested 100 million US dollars in Boulder Technology, and the shareholding ratio of the two parties remained unchanged, still accounting for 50 shares each.
Immediately, Chen Jialin transferred 77.5 billion Hong Kong dollars to Stubborn Stone Technology from the account of Xiangjiang Weida. Hu Yang transferred 100 million US dollars from Xiangjiang Huijia Trading to an offshore company, and then also transferred it to the account of Stubborn Rock Technology, and the balance of Xiangjiang Trading's US dollar account still has 19.2 billion US dollars.
So far, the registered capital of Stubborn Stone Technology has increased to 2.6 billion yuan (RB), and its strength has been greatly enhanced.
In the auction after the year, Chen Jialin bought the plant, land and some equipment of Cheung Kei Electronics, and also bought a lot of industrial land near the Yanshi Technology Factory, continuing to expand the scale of the factory.
Since 1998, Ericsson, Motorola and NEC have increased their cooperation with Stubborn Stone, and the number of orders has skyrocketed.
In addition, China has now begun to pilot "PHS" in several cities, although the number of orders in this part is not large, but it has also made a good start.
VCD machines still have some orders in production, but Chen Jialin estimates that this part of the output value only accounts for 10-12 of the annual output value of Stubborn Rock Technology, and will be completely discontinued next year.
The development of Stubborn Rock Technology to the present can be described as thriving, but it is not without problems. Putting aside the long-term aspect, many shortcomings have been exposed in the immediate management aspect.
With the continuous expansion of the scale of Boulder Technology, the company's employees are also increasing rapidly. According to Qi Shumin's estimates, by the second half of the year, the employees of the entire Stubborn Stone Technology will reach about 40,000, which can be called terrifying.
According to Chen Jialin's idea, it is necessary to strengthen management, and even implement closed management in the factory area, so that workers can cause less trouble as much as possible.
"Chen Shao, your method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and the workers are suppressed too much, be careful that there will be a backlash. In addition, the management of the factory is too strict, and public opinion will be very unfavorable to us. You really want to make Rock Tech a 'sweatshop' reputation. ”
Hu Yang had a deep talk with Chen Jialin about this matter.
Chen Jialin in the year later. He rarely returns to Xiangjiang, and most of the time he spends his time recuperating in Yangcheng. There are no major problems with his arm, and it is believed that the cast will be removed soon.
"Brother Hu, what do you say? I can't let the cadres of the company do ideological work for the workers all day long, right?"
What kind of "sweatshop" reputation, Chen Jialin also dare not bear. But he thinks that the production tasks are heavy, overtime, and there are more personnel, and everyone is crowded into the dormitory, which is not a big problem.
"I won't say anything about standing on the moral high ground, I'll just talk about two issues. First, if the living conditions of the workers are too poor, is it not conducive to everyone's rest and physical and mental health?
Second, if the working environment and system are slightly more relaxed, can we retain more technical backbones?"
Hu Yang knows that a super-large OEM enterprise like Stubborn Rock Technology is taking a capital-intensive and labor-intensive path, and if the problems of workers are not solved, sooner or later they will have to push themselves to the forefront.
"So, Chen Shao, in my opinion, we would rather increase the cost a little more and provide the workers with slightly better living conditions.
The dormitory building should be built as soon as possible, and the various facilities of the dormitory and the recreational facilities in the rest area should also be properly considered. In addition, in terms of production management, we should be more humane, and don't let the mystery in the workers' minds be too tight all day long, too tight and easy to break."
In the 90s, many factories did not give much consideration to the feelings of the workers, and it was the norm for seven or eight people or even a dozen people to live in a dormitory. The working hours are also long, sometimes more than ten hours a day.
This situation will not fundamentally change until after the new millennium, especially when structural shortages of the domestic labour force begin.
The reasons for this are complex, but one of the most important is cost.
However, Hu Yang believes that it is better to reduce costs through this means than to work production. On the one hand, actively improve the production process, on the other hand, strengthen internal management, can also play a role in reducing costs and improving efficiency, there is really no need to bear the infamy.
"Yes, Brother Hu, then listen to you. I'll start by saying yes, at the end of the year, the company's net profit has declined, don't look for me. ”
Chen Jialin understood Populus euphratica's intention and was ready to implement it immediately, but he considered that this might reduce profits as soon as it came, so he gave Populus euphratica a preventive shot in advance.
"Earn less and earn less, and save yourself trouble. Then the internal affairs of the company will be left to Chen Shao, and I will go to the magic capital recently. ”
Wu Xinhui called Hu Yang a few years ago, and she helped find a company that could repair the "old house", and then gave Hu Yang's contact information.
This kind of thing must not be clear on the phone, and Hu Yang plans to go there in person. As for the follow-up project and acceptance, he doesn't have to worry about it, he can send someone to be responsible.
"I'll just say you, why do you buy an old bungalow if you have nothing to do? The building of the thirties, if you have to completely repair it, it may be more expensive than the money you spent to buy a house. By the way, I just bought a villa in the deep sea, and the price is not high, do you have any ideas?"
Chen Jialin doesn't quite understand Hu Yang's dedication to the "old house" in the magic capital, feelings or something, can you eat it?
"Let's talk about the villa in the deep sea when I come back from the magic capital, and see if there is anything pleasing to the eye when the time comes. If you meet someone who has an eye, it doesn't matter if you buy a set. ”
Hu Yang smiled, and didn't bother to explain why he liked the "old bungalow". In fact, for him now, there is no problem of investment in buying a house and other appreciation, if you like it, you can buy it, and if you don't like it, you don't buy it, it all depends on his mood at the time.
Subsequently, Hu Yang went to the magic capital and discussed the restoration plan with the house repair company, which of course also included renovation.
Chen Jialin is right, the whole project plus a full set of recustomized furniture, isn't it more than a million.
"Mr. Hu, do you remember the company Mingkang Communication Technology Co., Ltd.?"
Hu Yang only stayed in the magic capital for a few days before returning to Yangcheng, and Huijia Holdings has no big investment projects recently, so Mu Shaoqing brought Xu Younian's pre-research project to Hu Yang.
"Well, this company has a bit of an impression that it is going to promote PHS in China, right? At the beginning, there was a big disagreement within our company about this project, so I let them put it on hold for the time being. ”
Hu Yang remembers that when Xu Younian was still there, there was indeed such a project. However, at that time, there were great differences within the company, and the conditions for investment were not mature, so it was regarded as a pre-research project.
"It's the company, and they've recently come and talked to me again, and I thought I could give it a try. ”
Mu Shaoqing's vision is very good, his business sense is particularly sensitive, and he has just begun to introduce "PHS" in China, so he is eyeing it.
"Put the assessment report here first, and I'll look at it later. Mr. Mu, if you are optimistic about this project, continue to talk with this Mingkang communication. In addition, you can pay attention to HW, there are good investment opportunities, but try to get in touch. ”
Hu Yang is now also interested in investing in the telecommunications industry, and he would like to work with ZX and HW. However, neither ZX, a state-owned enterprise, nor HW, which has already made a name for itself, will not necessarily accept his investment.
Of course, even if you can't invest, you can still cooperate, after all, he still has Stubborn Rock Technology, which can accept their orders in terms of foundry.
When Mu Shaoqing walked out of the office, Hu Yang looked at the report on the table.
Mingkang Communication Technology (China) Co., Ltd., with a registered capital of 50 million yuan, is mainly engaged in the research and development, design, manufacturing and sales of communication equipment.
The other party hopes to introduce an investment of 100 million yuan and give the investor 50 shares.
"Needless to say, their PHS technology is also imported from RB, and in the absence of core technology, the asking price is a bit high. ”
Hu Yang only muttered a few words, but he was not prepared to participate in the negotiations himself. Mu Shaoqing's ability is very strong, and he needs to provide a good development environment for the other party.
Therefore, Hu Yang plans to wait for Mu Shaoqing and Mingkang to talk about a phased result before expressing his opinion.
At this stage, Huijia Holdings has about 100 million yuan in its account, and if it really invests in Mingkang Communications, the company will have no money.
