Chapter 236: Blue Sky (Asking for Votes!)
Ding Lei left the White Swan Hotel in a daze.
Don't go pig farming? What do you mean? Do you mean that if I lose, I'm going to be reduced to pig farming? That's too contemptuous of people, right?
In fact, five years after the previous life, that is, in November 01, the number of netizens in Huaxia really did not exceed 50 million, but only less than 40 million.
But in this life, as Zhang Chen's influence in the economic field continues to expand, Zhang Chen is confident enough to influence at least the number of netizens in China in five years.
Zhang Chen's goal now is not to make much money, although he doesn't make much money either.
As a reborn, as long as you seize the first-mover advantage and capital advantage at any opportunity, you will be invincible, and the growth of wealth can be expected.
Within 20 years, as long as you don't have a personal accident, it is not impossible to become the richest man in the world. But so what?
Mechanically watching the growth of capital, until the zero number behind can't be counted, is it really happy?
Well, still happy.
But what made Zhang Chen even more excited was that after being reborn, he saw that this world had become different from his previous life and was getting better and better due to his appearance.
Therefore, the gamble with Ding Lei is also a gamble between Zhang Chen and himself.
Compared with the previous life, the number of Chinese netizens reached 50 million ten months earlier.
Start by setting yourself a small goal.
Zhang Chen came to Yangcheng this time, in addition to seeing Ding Lei, the main purpose was to talk about the aliens building a factory.
Aliens have developed to the point where the bottleneck of the supply chain has reached its limit.
At present, among the nine stores of Alien, Kyoto has surpassed Ben Thanh and Shanghai to become the store with the highest sales volume in a single store. The average monthly sales volume is more than 450 units, and the nine stores together have a monthly sales volume of more than 2,300 units, which means that it is not a problem for the cumulative sales of Alien to exceed 15,000 units during the year.
At present, this is already a very terrifying number, not to mention that Zhang Chen knows that starting in May next year, Huaxia's personal computer market will officially enter the fast lane, and the annual PC sales in the country will exceed 1.7 million units. If a stable and reliable supply chain cannot be established at this time, it is very likely that the aliens will be swallowed up by several major manufacturers next year.
As the chairman of Blue Sky Group, Xu Kuntai can naturally afford to eat more upscale places, but he loves Heyuan Restaurant in Yangcheng.
Heyuan Restaurant is a time-honored brand in Yangcheng, and every time Xu Kuntai comes to Yangcheng, he has to come here to have a good meal.
Zhang Chen learned the lesson of Yuzhou, rented a Mercedes-Benz from the hotel, and rushed to Heyuan Restaurant with himself, Xiao Lele and Liu Jinlong.
Xu Kuntai was in his early forties, looking similar to Shen Nanpeng's style, wearing a gold-rimmed glasses, followed by several management of Lantian City.
Xu Kuntai was a little surprised when he saw Zhang Chen, and in the fax and telephone communication he took, he felt that Zhang Chen was more experienced than most of the mainland businessmen he had dealt with, and he paid great attention to the rigor of the contract text. When we meet now, I didn't expect it to be a teenager less than twenty.
Xu Kuntai's blue sky, now the island of Taiwan is in full swing, the limelight is no worse than Honghai's Guo Taiming, Zhang Chen naturally will not hold it up, take two steps closely, and bow slightly, "Xu Dong, hello, I'm Zhang Chen, meet for the first time, please take care of me." β
Xu Kuntai looked Zhang Chen up and down, seeing that Zhang Chen was neither humble nor arrogant, and had a good impression of this young man in his heart.
Everyone sat down, Xu Kuntai smiled: "I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to be so young, before on the phone, I felt that the other party's voice was very young, but when it came to communication, I felt that he was a business veteran, what a young talent." β
Zhang Chen said modestly: "Compared with Mr. Xu, it is still far from Mr. Xu, the blue sky, Qunguang, Qunbai, and Honghui founded by Mr. Xu, these four are now well-known enterprises on the island, and we young people still have to learn from you." β
The Cantonese cuisine of Heyuan Restaurant is very authentic, after all, it is one of the most prestigious restaurants in "Eat in Yangcheng", and with the Cantonese dim sum on the table one by one, Xu Kuntai also opened the conversation.
"I first visited the mainland four years ago, when the mainland was still in the midst of a pandemic. Needless to say, in other places, even Yangcheng, there are not a few high-rise buildings in sight. But this time, my people took me to Dongguan, my God, several five-star hotels are rising from the ground, and the changes are too great. Xu Kuntai sighed.
Zhang Chen took a sip of soup, "Yes, now the mainland's economic development is changing with each passing day, and it can be said that all walks of life are opportunities." Especially in the electronics industry, it was indeed a wise move for Mr. Xu to set up a factory in Dongguan four years ago. β
Xu Kuntai said with a smile: "Then Mr. Zhang wants to cooperate with our blue sky and set up a factory in Kunshan, it seems that it is not a whim?"
Zhang Chen said with a smile: "Xu Dong, you are joking, how can the investment of tens of millions of dollars be a whim? Our alien computer company is now seeking to lay out the domestic PC and laptop market. And Blue Sky, as the largest mold OEM supplier on the island, must be one of the objects we want to cooperate. β
Xu Kuntai was slightly interested, "The development of aliens has been very fast recently? Last month, your procurement specialist purchased keyboards from our Dongguan factory, and ordered three thousand at a time. According to the 3-month inventory cycle, it is not a problem for the annual sales of Alien to exceed 10,000 units. This sales volume is not easy for a start-up, but it is too early to invest in a factory, right?"
Zhang Chen shook his head: "One month." β
Xu Kuntai didn't understand, and was stunned: "What?"
Zhang Chen Zhengse said: "This is our sales volume for a month, and with the opening of our second store in the three key regional markets of Kyoto, Shanghai and Pengcheng, the sales are still increasing month by month,"
Xu Kuntai was surprised, after all, Lenovo's sales last year were only 100,000 units, "You mean, your annual sales will exceed 30,000 units next year?"
Zhang Chen said lightly: "My expectation is 100,000. β
Xu Kuntai blurted out: "This is impossible! The mainland does not have such strong purchasing power! And it is impossible for your production capacity to reach it." β
Zhang Chen smiled: "Dong Xu, the mainland's purchasing power, we leave time to speak." As for production capacityγγγγγγ Zhang Chen looked at Xu Kuntai strangely, "If we have sufficient production capacity, why do we have to cooperate with Blue Sky?"
Xu Kuntai laughed awkwardly.
In fact, Zhang Chen asked him to cooperate, which is of course a good thing for Lantian.
In Zhang Chen's initial plan for him, the aliens invested 10 million to account for 30% of the shares of the new factory that Blue Sky was preparing to set up in Kunshan, and at the same time, all the peripherals and chassis displays and other accessories of the alien computers were made by Blue Sky.
Out of secrecy, Zhang Chen did not mention the specific sales of aliens in the faxes. And the reason why Xu Kuntai is so cautious is also because in this era, not only Taiwanese people deceive mainlanders, but it is not uncommon for Taiwanese businessmen to invest in the mainland and be deceived by mainlanders without returning.
Although Xu Kuntai has also done some research on aliens, after all, he gets along with the two sides of the strait, and his career focus is not on the mainland, so it is not so easy to find out the details of a start-up, and in the end he can only get some superficial news. In this case, Xu Kuntai's vigilance is not difficult to understand.
If the other party was a well-known company like Lianxiang, Xu Kuntai would definitely not think about it too much, and would have agreed a long time ago.
