Chapter 192 [Suspicious]
Hearing Shi Lei's words, Lu Tong smiled, because he drank a little wine, his face was red: "Mr. Shi has something to say, we will definitely have a lot of contact in the future." He was referring to the R&D base.
Shi Lei nodded: "I talked a lot with Manager Lu just now, and I probably know that your company is actually mainly an electronics factory, and its business scope is mainly to produce electronic components." The business in other directions is still expanding, and in the year since the company was founded, the original development team does not seem to have come up with any products that can be put into production. That's what it means, right? ”
Lu Tong's face was slightly embarrassed, and he nodded and said, "Alas...... Don't hide it, if it weren't for the four words of state-owned unit, I am afraid that our original factory would have gone bankrupt and closed down long ago. Last year, the new owner merged and reorganized our factory, and I really hope that with the new owner, with new technology, and new machines, we can ...... I don't dare to say that I have a grand plan, at least to change the previous situation of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days. But the new owner doesn't seem to be in a hurry, and still let us be idle, and this year, except for some electronic components that can be produced in the factory, there is almost no innovation. I've been asking questions, and I always say that the product will be available soon, but it just hasn't been put into production. ”
Shi Lei smiled, and said in his heart that this Lu Tong is an honest person, this is also easy to do, what I am afraid of is that I will meet an old oilman, who has no truth in his mouth, and will give you a nonsense that is not covered by clouds and mountains and fog, but he can't ask anything.
"So, this year you are equivalent to relying on the new owner to raise you?"
"Who's to say it isn't! I really don't know what the new owner is thinking, in fact, we, the cadres who have been rehired and stayed, all want to help the new owner well, so that people appreciate you, keep you, and give you several times the salary before. But ......" Lu Tong doesn't seem to know what words to use to describe his current state of embarrassment.
"Is it difficult for a clever daughter-in-law to cook without rice?" Shi Lei smiled and answered.
"Yes, yes, yes! Look at it, Shi always has culture, this is too true. We don't have a place to do it now! ”
Shi Lei nodded again: "That's strange, since your company doesn't actually have any business, and the production capacity is not strong...... I'm sorry, I'll tell you the truth, I won't beat around the bush......" Shi Lei was afraid that if he said it too directly, it would embarrass Lu Tong, an honest man. Lu Tong waved his hand, signaling that it was not tight, and Shi Lei continued: "I mean to say, since your company is in a semi-halt in all aspects, and you are only relying on the funds of this new owner to support the situation, what are you doing with such an office automation system?" Although it is not a big order, but one factory and one company, the total amount of two systems is more than 3 million. With these three million, I estimate that with the size of your company, it will be more than enough to last for a year, right? ”
"Not just one year, two years is enough. I can't figure it out, but the boss said that he wanted to start the office automation project, saying that he wanted to improve office efficiency, so we did what he was told. In fact, there is no efficiency, idle eggs are painful, and if you improve efficiency, there is nothing to do. ”
As if he was worried about what bad consequences Lu Tong's words would cause, Xiong Hongwei hurriedly answered: "My uncle's husband is relatively old and his behavior is relatively conservative, so it is difficult for him to understand how much cost can be effectively saved for the company by a complete office automation system once the company is busy." I think that since the boss is going to make such an investment, maybe our company will have a new product put into production soon. ”
"If there is really a new product, there is no need to cooperate with Wuxing Technology to build a research and development base, which obviously means that your company will not be able to produce new products with any suitable technology, at least in the foreseeable future. I speak more straightforwardly, and it's okay to forgive you for offense, mainly because I don't understand it very well. ”
Lu Tong sighed, Shi Lei's words went to his heart, but Xiong Hongwei blinked, as if he felt that Shi Lei had something to say.
"If Mr. Shi has anything to say, you might as well say it directly......" Xiong Hongwei suddenly asked.
Shi Lei glanced at Xiong Hongwei attentively, and smiled: "I don't mean anything special, I'm just curious, in fact, it has nothing to do with the cooperation between us." ”
Xiong Hongwei frowned, Shi Lei said this, it seemed that he meant that this was the end of the matter, and he did not plan to continue to discuss this topic.
Although there are still some doubts in my heart, since Shi Lei said that he will not continue to talk, Xiong Hongwei and Lu Tong naturally have to drag Shi Lei to talk, after all, what they just talked about has almost nothing to do with this business, and it is completely an internal matter of their company.
Jiang Fengyue took out the contract, and after the two sides looked at it, they each signed their names.
When Lu Tong put down the company's seal and carefully put it back in his bag, Shi Lei asked unexpectedly: "Eh, by the way, Manager Lu, where is the boss of your company?" ”
Lu Tong was defenseless, put the seal back in his bag, looked up and thought, and then said with empty eyes: "I have only met the boss twice, listening to his accent, it seems that he came from the south, Lingdong Lingnan, I can't say it well." ”
"Oh...... So, what about the technical team? It is the people who follow the trend of the general company to cooperate in the development of R&D bases. ”
"We barely interacted with them, but the accent and the boss should have come from the same place."
"I heard Mr. Feng say that the technical team of your company seems to have a military background, and it is a technician who has retired from the military?"
Lu Tong shook his head: "I don't know about this, they almost don't show up, and they never deal with our departments." ”
Shi Lei stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand: "The two of you want to rush back to Yan County in the afternoon?" ”
Lu Tong hurriedly shook hands with Shi Lei: "Yes, the company doesn't have much business, so we won't waste travel expenses outside, and a one-night stay in a hotel is all money." ”
Shi Lei nodded, and he also made a decision in his heart, but he couldn't say at this time: "Then I won't send the two of you, I wish us a happy cooperation." ”
"Mr. Shi, don't worry, although our company has no business this year, the funds on the account are still abundant, and the boss does not seem to be short of money. After I go back, the first payment will be paid to your company's account within 24 hours, and then I have to trouble Mr. Shi to arrange engineering personnel to go to our company as soon as possible. ”
After leaving the hotel, Shi Lei and Feng Forest watched Lu Tong and Xiong Hongwei get into a taxi and rush to the long-distance bus station.
asked Jiang Fengyue's assistant to drive her Polo back to the company, and Shi Lei got on the Dodge Ram with Feng Forest and Jiang Fengyu.
The three of them sat in the back, forming a half-circle, and Shi Lei asked Feng Forest: "Brother Feng, how do you feel?" ”
"I was a little apprehensive by what you said in the morning, and now it's even more bottomless, there are too many strange things about this company."
Shi Lei nodded: "Tell me about the manager of your company who is responsible for import and export in Southeast Asia." ”
Feng Forest pondered for a moment: "Lingnan people, but they can barely hear their mouths when they speak, and after a long time of contact, they can barely hear some accents from individual words." Thirty-five years old, short in stature and dark in skin, but with the typical characteristics of southerners. ”
"Is it possible that you came from the same place as the so-called technical team and the so-called boss?"
Feng Forest nodded heavily: "Originally, I didn't pay attention to such details, but I just thought that the team was from the south, but I really didn't think that they would be fellow villagers." Shi Shi, are you worried that they are a fraud gang? ”
Shi Lei shook his head, waved his hand and said, "There are not fraud gangs, and there are no such fraud gangs." Have you ever heard of a fraud gang that understands technology and has a military style, and is willing to stay in a completely unrelated place for a year, and even go to buy a former state-owned unit, just to build a research and development base with you? I suspect they're here for your technology. If I remember correctly, the restructuring of the 325 Institute should have been negotiated a year ago, right? Early 97? ”
Feng Forest said casually: "It started at the end of 96, and this matter spread relatively early, and it was almost spread out as soon as I had the idea of restructuring. At that time, many mainstream media reported that the restructuring of 325 such institutes was regarded as a big step in the reform process. ”
"The factory in Yanxian County was restructured at the beginning of last year. Now there is only one left, when did your manager in charge of import and export trade in Southeast Asia join your company? ”
Feng Forest did not hesitate, and immediately said: "After you told me about this matter in the morning, I talked to our old man on the phone about this matter, and the old man felt that your caution was very reasonable, after all, this involved some military technology, even if it was a technology that had been eliminated. So he called up Li Xiongfei's resume, this person was Feng Shi who entered in May last year, originally studied in Singapore, worked in Indonesia for a few years after graduation, returned to China at the end of the previous year, and entered Feng Shi after a period of rest. At first, he was only given the title of assistant manager, in order to test his ability. As a result, he made several large orders within three months, almost catching up with the total trade volume of the Feng clan in Southeast Asia in the whole year of 96 years. So after the probationary period expired, he was transferred to the position of trade manager in charge of Southeast Asia. ”
Shi Lei snapped his fingers: "It's time!" Then he fell silent and looked down in thought.
Wind Forest waited a little impatiently: "Shishi, if you have something to say, just say it!" ”
