Chapter 138: The Land Question
Fang Yi has always believed that only key technologies and patents are the most valuable, and only they can create infinite value. Fang Yi really didn't think about building a factory by himself, because to build a factory, there were too many related affairs involved, and the added value was very low, whether it was Fang Yi's past life or this life, he didn't see any company specializing in production becoming a world-class enterprise.
However, Huaxia was a manufacturing country at the beginning of the reform and opening up, and then it was promoted to a big country in terms of intellectual modeling, and the main consideration goal of the country at this time was GDP, which is also the consideration standard of local officials' policies.
Zhang Chao said confidently, "Since your company's small C became popular at home and abroad, our municipal government has set your company as the city's key help direction, and we will build you into our business card in Chengdu, and we will give certain financial and policy support to your company." For government departments, they have their own calculations, electronic products like small C, in order to establish a factory, you need a lot of related electronic component manufacturers as a collaborative factory, small C sold 100,000 units on the day of pre-sale, sales of nearly 200 million, then their annual sales volume is at least 1 million units, that will be a super factory with an output value of 2 billion, if the factory is located in the import and export processing zone of the high-tech zone, its related electronics factories will fill up the processing area, which will create how much GDP, how many people to solve, and how much performance it isγ Fang Yi finally heard what he wanted to hear and asked, "Uncle Zhang, can you tell me what kind of support you have?"
Zhang Chao thought about it, as if he had made a very important decision, and said, "Originally, it was inconvenient for me to tell you these words directly, but for the sake of the relationship between you and Xiaoliang, as an elder, appropriate mentions are still needed." If you agree to set up a factory in the import and export processing zone, the government will give you the green light in terms of loan approval and land use."
Fang Yi thought about his current financial situation, and said, "Uncle Zhang, we are still relatively abundant in terms of funds, we don't need it for the time being, if we need it, we will definitely ask the government for help;
As soon as Fang Yi said this, Zhang Chao knew what his idea was, if he agreed to build a factory in the import and export processing zone, then he had to approve a piece of land to build an office building for him, and asked tentatively, "Where are you going to build an office building, and how much land do you need?"
Fang Yi took out the map in his bag, spread it out and pointed to a location in the south of the city, which was the location of the previous Century City, which also matched the name of the Century Group very well, and said, "Uncle Zhang, I want to need 500 acres of land in this place", Fang Yi actually felt that as long as there was 100 acres, it was enough, so that in addition to building an office headquarters building, some related employee welfare facilities could also be established.
Zhang Chao looked carefully at the place where Fang Yi pointed his finger, recalling that there seemed to be no focus on the development of this area in the government's recent planning, and then thought of the benefits of the construction of Century Science and Technology to Chengdu, whether it is GDP or employment, and said, "It turns out that your kid has been holding back to the government for land for a long time, and he has already stepped on all the points, since this is the case, I will bring this request of yours to the government meeting for discussion, you can wait for the notice."
Leaving Zhang Yunliang's home, Fang Yi has not yet recovered from tonight's incident, originally he still wanted to rely on Xiao Wen's relationship to take a piece of land together, how do you know that someone will send a pillow if you are sleepy, if you can really get this land, it will greatly accelerate the development speed of the Century Group.
The next day, as soon as Fang Yi arrived at the company, he called Foxconn Chen Weihua and said, "Mr. Chen, how happened to your application for two more production lines last time?"
Chen Weihua was obviously stunned for a moment and said, "Mr. Fang, didn't I reply to you last time, why are you still thinking about this stubble, now we really don't have the resources to increase the production line for you, otherwise, after the New Year, when the company reallocates resources, I will help you find a way to add one or two lines."
Fang Yi showed a wicked smile on his face and said, "Mr. Fang, do you Foxconn have any ideas to continue to expand the production line?"
Chen Weihua didn't know what kind of medicine Fang Yi's gourd was selling, he came to tell himself these early in the morning, if he didn't increase the production line to expand the production capacity, he would build a factory himself, and said suspiciously, "We want to expand production capacity, but the land and workers are a trouble, now in Guangdong and coastal areas, there have been signs of difficulty in recruiting workers, in order to retain those old employees, we Foxconn have to pay a high price for it every year"
When Fang Yi heard this, he already had a complete idea of his thoughts: "Mr. Chen, what if I can help you solve these two problems? Do you still have the willingness to expand the production line and expand production capacity?"
Chen Weihua seemed to have guessed what Fang Yi wanted to do, laughed twice and said, "Mr. Fang, do you mean that you can solve the problem of land and employee recruitment? If that's really the case, we can cooperate with Mr. Fang, isn't it just the problem of building a production line, and the problem that can be solved with money is still a problem? But the final decision has to be made by our group."
After getting Chen Weihua's reply, Fang Yi said happily, "Mr. Chen, well, you can ask your group for instructions on this matter, if you can, then I will follow up on the land and personnel issues."
Chen Weihua said, "Mr. Fang, where are you going to build a factory?"
"Chengdu, import and export processing zone, I don't know if Mr. Chen has heard of this place, if you build a factory in the import and export processing zone, the products produced can be directly declared, which will greatly speed up the export of products," Fang Yi explained.
Chen Weihua thought about whether Chengdu, an inland city, had any relevant facilities for the construction of an electronics factory, and said, "Okay, wait for me to report to the group, and we will talk about it in detail after the approval."
For the previous Foxconn to build factories in the country, Fang Yi was able to solve the source of land and employees, and it was impossible for Foxconn to refuse himself. However, Fang Yi still needs to use some other tricks in the specific operation of the cooperative construction of the factory, in the previous life, the incident of Foxconn's employees jumping off the building caused them a lot of trouble.
Solved the problem of building a factory, then now it is only the final decision of the municipal government, since Zhang Chao did not refuse, it means that his request is within their psychological range.
On the evening of September 12th, Li Sen's phone called, Fang Yi looked at the phone, and had to give the phone to Ma Rui next to him and said, "Rui Rui, help me answer the phone, I don't understand him very well"
Ma Rui showed a disgusted expression, took the phone and helped him translate, "Boss, the Hang Seng Index has successfully fallen through the box today, and it will fall sharply tomorrow, when will you come over?
Fang Yi thought about it, then calculated his recent work and said, "I'll come over the day after tomorrow, you will keep an eye on Keno Technology first, and pay attention to their stock trends at any time."
Li Sen said, "Since they reached the upper edge of the box again 5 days ago, they began to fall sharply, from 12 yuan 5 days ago to 8.51 yuan today, a full 30% drop, I want to wait until they follow the momentum of this big fall, the price will hit about 5 yuan, you can start to buy their goods"
Fang Yi nodded and didn't say, "Okay, then do what you want."
The next day, Fang Yi convened a meeting of the four business department managers of Century Trade, which was the first collective meeting of the four managers.
Mi Shi first said, "Mr. Fang, we have made specific work arrangements for the employees we have recruited back in the past few days, and each has sorted out the product lines of the business department in charge of it and sorted out a list."
Saying that, Fang Yi took out three lists and handed them to Fang Yi, Fang Yi looked at them one by one and said, "Mi Shi, the first thing our C shopping network guarantees is customer experience, your electronics business department first makes products with high added value and small size as the preferred level to deal with, and then gradually expands to other commodities, such as refrigerators in this household appliance, Rear projection and so on can be placed in the next level, because we now do not have our own logistics, do not have our own delivery system, like this household large items, easy to produce loss, resulting in poor customer experience, and eventually lose the reputation of the website"
Saying that, Fang Yi said to Du Li and Qu Jiang again, "Du Li, Qu Jiang, the biggest problem you are encountering now is that there are too many commodities and too many producers, I don't know who comes first and who comes last, right?"
Du Li and Qu Jiang both nodded in unison, and Fang Yi said, As in the case of Misch, you also have to make trade-offs in your work, our ultimate goal is to allow customers to buy all the things they want to buy on our C shopping network, only what they can't think of, nothing they can't buy, but we are distinguishing priorities, now the primary problem is to set up the main structure of C shopping network, in the small categories of each business division, we select the most representative 10 brands out, first do a good job of these 10 brands, and then on this basis, and then continue to improve the product"
The three of them all nodded silently, and Fang Yi saw that they all understood what they meant, and said, "Do you still have any questions now?
After the three of them left, Fang Yi leaned back in the wide boss's chair, and began to think about going to Hong Kong tomorrow.
