Chapter 124: Interests at the Low and Middle End
After a long journey, Meng Qian returned to Haishi, which was full of high-rise buildings. In terms of high-rise buildings and modernization, few cities in the United States can compare with China's first-tier cities, San Francisco, most of the buildings are old, and Los Angeles is not good, and it is a small town after leaving the city.
Staring at the tall building outside the window, the taxi took Meng Qian back to Haishi's apartment. The family has gone back last week, they have come to live here for a month, and they have also helped him take care of the renovated house by the way, they have talked on the phone a few times, and it is estimated that it will be delivered in two months.
After sleeping for a few hours to adjust to the jet lag, he took out his mobile phone after waking up, called his assistant Liang Tao, and arranged tomorrow's work. He came back with two main things: licensing low-end battery technology and consolidating the vacant market; Consider the proportion of financing cooperation and pave the way for the future.
Liang Tao on the other end of the phone wrote down what he needed.
Meng Qian was also considerate of his subordinates: "Strive to get the results tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow morning at the latest." ”
"Clear, Chairman." Liang Tao said, "Mr. Zong wants to meet with you to talk about the company's recent investment business, what is your arrangement?" ”
"Tomorrow afternoon." Meng Qian said.
……
The next afternoon, the black Bentley picked up Meng Qian.
Wells Fargo has moved to a new headquarters, Building 1 is officially opened, and Building 2 is still under renovation.
Meng Qian got out of the car and looked at the company building decorated with glass walls, although it was not high, it was very spacious, giving people a calm and atmospheric feeling, and the national flag fluttering in front of the building added a little momentum.
Walking into the hall, he could feel the orderly busyness of a large business.
As another enterprise in China with core strength and representative in the world, it has made countless people yearn for it. I am eager to squeeze on this single-plank bridge and get a chance.
Meng Qian, who has achieved all this. Admiring your own masterpiece.
He had the intention to take a look around the office area to see the working environment and office status of the employees. It's worth mentioning. Most of them are more serious and perform their duties.
There are also many employees with unfamiliar faces, and after Zong Yan let the company go to the "giant mode", he has been implementing strict rules for the survival of the fittest, brushing off many people.
Those who can stay are those who have a few brushes, and they deserve a high salary. However, if the frequency of employee replacement is too high, it will cause the grassroots employees to know too little about their superiors, and the efficiency may not be high in the short term. For example, Meng Qian, many people have only heard of him and have not seen it with their own eyes.
"This gentleman!" A voice came from behind Meng Qian.
Meng Qian turned around. A man in a shirt stepped forward and looked at him a few times: "This is an important area of the company, what about your employee work card?" ”
"Work permit?" Meng Qian suddenly realized that this is the area leading to technical testing, and then there is the product testing area, and safety must be emphasized.
"Please show your work ID." The man in the shirt looked at him with a suspicious gaze: "If you are not from our company, you can't enter without permission. into this area. ”
"I'm here, but I haven't gotten my documents yet." Meng Qian didn't blame the other party for being serious. That's what responsibility looks like.
"Then sir, please leave." The man in the shirt gestured sideways, "Temporary documents are required to visit the company, if you have an appointment or invitation, please go to the front desk on the first floor." ”
The shirt man is still polite. After all, Meng Qian's suit and leather shoes are very serious, although he is young but has a lot of courage, before he knows where he came from. Staying polite is a priority.
"Don't bother, I'll call someone to answer it." Meng Qian stepped aside. picked up his mobile phone and dialed Liang Tao's phone: "I'm on the fourth floor, and I encountered something." You come down. ”
The shirt man was still looking at him, above the fourth floor was an important area of the company, could he ask someone to come down and pick him up?
The first guess should be visitors, the company has indeed visited a lot of companies recently, and they are busy with the issue of battery technology licensing, a large number of local and foreign companies, and several officials have come to visit...... But what overturned the shirt man's point of view was that it was Liang Tao who came down from the elevator.
"Assistant Liang." The shirt man greeted.
"Mr. Meng." Liang Tao nodded to Meng Qian first, and then looked at the shirt man: "What's the matter?" ”
The man in the shirt finally reacted, there are not many people surnamed Meng in the company, and the only one who can be called Mr. Meng by Assistant Liang is the legendary genius founder.
"A small misunderstanding, Mr. Ma has just done his duty." Meng Qian was in a good mood, and glanced at the other party's work card a few times, which belonged to the enterprise management department.
"I'm sorry Chairman, I didn't recognize you just now." Ma Liang said apologetically.
"The company needs a serious and responsible person like you." Meng Qian praised him, and didn't mind that the other party was older than him, and patted him on the shoulder: "Do a good job." ”
"I will, sir." Ma Liang is very confident.
"Good." Meng Qian glanced at him a few times, then turned around and followed Liang Tao into the elevator.
After the elevator door closed, Ma Liang was still a little overwhelmed by what happened just now, and his colleagues came over curiously, gossiping: "That was the big boss just now?" ”
"Much younger than on TV!"
Ma Liang smiled: "Yes, I didn't recognize it." ”
"Old horse, you are lucky, the boss personally said that you have a future." Colleagues said.
"You have to work hard." Ma Liang was modest and said: "Don't gather here, our business management department must lead by example and be careful to be seen by the top." ”
Colleagues think of the strict discipline of the company, and no one dares to defy the law, otherwise the rich reward will be goodbye. Wells Fargo Energy's salary package is very good, with plenty of benefits – provided you perform well. So as soon as Ma Liang said this, they disappeared immediately.
On the other end, after the elevator door closed, Liang Tao asked, "Mr. wants to promote him?" ”
"Let's see the performance." Meng Qian was very busy.
"If you praise him in public, you will make him an enemy." Liang Tao knows very well that enterprises, especially large enterprises, are a miniature version of the rivers and lakes.
"It will also test his ability even more." Meng Qian didn't know this, he did it intentionally.
"I'll keep an eye on him for you." Liang Tao understood what the boss meant.
……
After the elevator went up to the top floor, Liang Tao said: "I'll go and inform Mr. Zong first, you and Manager Huang go to register your identity." ”
Manager Huang of the security department signaled: "Chairman, please come here." ”
"Okay." Meng Qian followed the other party to the security department.
This is all Zong Yan's idea, as a high-tech enterprise, secrecy must also be a giant model.
Identification cards are required in special areas, fingerprints and passwords are required in important research areas, and there are professional security guards and dense surveillance equipment around, and access is through metal security gates, which cannot take away any images and storage devices...... The management is really very strict.
But it is very necessary, referring to the patent competition with Toyota, the company may pay hundreds of millions of dollars, in case the technology is leaked later, even if it is weaker, it is a threat to the company; In addition, the company is now investing hundreds of millions of dollars in research on new technologies, and there is no room for mistakes.
Even Meng Qian himself can't have his identity card, because there is no guarantee that it will be stolen by others, and he will have to record his fingerprints and set a password later. Of course, he has the highest authority to access and use any information of the company, and take away important confidential data.
……
After dealing with the problem of identity and managing passwords, Meng Qian returned to his office.
Soon, Liang Tao brought Zong Yan.
"I heard that you were stopped by the young man of the company?" Zong Yan walked over.
Meng Qian smiled: "Yes, now the fourth floor of the company is a forbidden area above, I walked around the elevator on the fourth floor, and he was about to call the security guard." ”
Zong Yan sat down: "Security and confidentiality work is a must, including overseas companies. ”
"Yes, you're doing a good job." Meng Qian agrees very much, there are so many commercial spies now, and no one dares to guarantee that there will be spies infiltrating one day.
After chatting a few words about safety issues, Zong Yan began to get to the point: "I want to talk to you about the issue of the low-end battery joint venture factory, as well as the holding ratio. ”
"Please." Meng Qian nodded.
"The demand for low-end batteries is very large, and there are 500 million conservative ones, that is, there is not much room for profit, I have discussed with experts in the laboratory, the cost of a single battery can be maintained more reasonable, and then consider the low-end and low-end, the price is about 60 yuan."
"Of course, the demand can make up for a lot, 500 million batteries, and it is expected to contribute 30 billion sales per year. Wells Fargo Group holds 51% of the shares, and after normal operation, it will bring us 15 billion yuan in revenue every year in the future, which is equivalent to about 2.4 billion US dollars, which is also a lot of income. ”
"How much profit is expected to bring to the company?" Meng Qian didn't bother to calculate, and asked directly.
Zong Yan came prepared: "It may be more than $1 billion." ”
"Very good." Meng Qian nodded, although the big business of 500 million batteries cannot be compared with Apple's contract, but this money cannot be changed out of thin air. (To be continued.) )
