Chapter 128 NB Electronics
Behind a successful man, there must be a woman who silently supports him.
Charter believes that he will be very successful because he has a lot of women behind him who silently support him.
The sweetheart understood his distress, and his mother-in-law urged him to go. Knowing that her mother Wu Xiulan wanted to come to see her in-laws who were suffering from cancer, the eldest aunt and second aunt took the initiative to take care of the old lady.
Mother is here, the eldest sister is here, and Chen Zhenghuai and Xu Ping, who are too familiar with this place, except for the condition of his mother-in-law, he really has nothing to worry about. The company had so many things, staying could not help much, and I apologized to my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and finally rushed back to Xiangjiang NB Industrial Park on the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve.
I don't want to go home when I am full, and the first thing I do when I come back is to accompany the employees to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Chairman Liu Siwei, Chief Engineer Charter, General Manager Li Xiaoshan, and Deputy General Manager Hu Meiqi ...... The leaders of the company who are numbered are all there, and even Ding Wenming, the general manager of the electronics business department, who has not appeared for more than half a year, did not return to his hometown in Nanbin for his honeymoon as originally planned.
During the Spring Festival, the salary was doubled, the food standard was doubled at once, and more importantly, if you performed well, you had the opportunity to go abroad to earn dollars like other colleagues. Because of this, although they could not go home for the New Year, the enthusiasm of the employees was still high, symbolically drinking a few glasses of wine, eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner like a storm, resting when they should rest, and working overtime when they should work overtime.
On the way to the conference room, Li Xiaoshan sighed: "This is a special situation this year, and next year you can consider staggering the vacation, so as to save more than a month to get on the right track after a Spring Festival like last year." ”
Liu Siwei lowered his head and said thoughtfully: "Yes." Compared with delaying production, it is worth paying a little more wages. ”
The charter took over the conversation and said thoughtfully: "This time the union has played a great role, and the two Chinese managers will not go home until they finish eating, and after the New Year, they will make arrangements and let them go to the German factory to have a look." ”
The past year was so busy that we didn't have the annual meeting as in previous years.
For Ding Wenming, Zhang Bing, Chen Baolin, Wu Xiaojun, Wu Xiaozhu and Wu Xiaolian, whether the annual meeting can be held or not has little to do with them. It's just to have a good time and mix up familiar faces.
However, today this will be very special, NB electrician, NB electrical appliances and NB high and low voltage complete set of managers are not called. Liu Siwei, charter, Li Xiaoshan, Hu Meiqi, Sun Xiaoguang and them. There is no outsider except Sun Xiaoguang.
Ding Wenming was a little strange, Zhang Bing was nervous, Chen Baolin was beating the drum in his heart, and Wu Xiaozhu's brothers and sisters didn't dare to say anything. For fear that the chairman and the articles of association will pursue the affairs of the small treasury.
They all have the appearance of ghosts. Liu Siwei felt a little funny. Waiting for Wu Xiaolian to close the door of the conference room, she said sideways: "Charter, you can say it." ”
Charter nodded slightly. While looking around at the brothers and sisters who started the business with him, he said lightly: "Everyone knows about the Middle East plan, and we also know that the headquarters of the Middle East is raising funds in many ways during this time. With the efforts of the Chairman and Mr. Wang, we have successively secured a total of HK$730 million credit lines from HSBC, Deutsche Bank and Standard Chartered Bank. What everyone doesn't know is that these huge sums of money that have not yet been loaned out are not used for planning in the Middle East.
I remember telling you when I came back last time that the headquarters gave NB Industrial Manufacturing a batch of orders, and the credit lines that the chairman and Director Wang fought for were prepared to pay for the equipment. ”
During this time, borrowing money was crazy, and several banks kept sending people to the company to investigate the business situation, Ding Wenming always thought that it was used for planning in the Middle East, but he didn't expect it to be not.
Although it's none of his business, once these credit lines are used up, it means that NB Electric has come to the brink of insolvency, Ding Wenming couldn't help it anymore, and asked incomprehensibly: "What equipment is so expensive, hundreds of millions at once!" ”
"Three production lines to be exact," the charter smiled and turned around, "Director Sun, bring your baby out for everyone to see." ”
"Okay."
Sun Xiaoguang took out an extremely ugly TV set from a cardboard box in the corner, and acted cautiously, really like a baby for fear of being broken, gently placed on the conference table, connected to the power supply, a snowflake, not even a signal, let alone watch the Spring Festival Gala for a while.
"I'm sorry, there is no antenna," Sun Xiaoguang triumphantly, stroked the wooden shell and said: "The mold is too expensive, and the focus is not on the appearance, so I asked Master Wu to make a wooden shell, and you will look at it first." ”
"See what?" Wu Xiaozhu was confused, and he didn't see the reason after watching it for a long time.
The charter knocked on the table and scolded with a smile: "What eyes? Look again, look closely, and see how it's different from your TV. ”
Wu Xiaozhu looked left and right, and said to himself: "It doesn't look as good as my TV, and there is no button to adjust the station, is it remote control?" ”
Wu Xiaojun was anxious and asked, "Cousin, don't sell Guanzi, what the hell is this?" ”
The woman is careful, Chen Baolin suddenly found a clue after watching it for a long time, and blurted out: "I can see that the screen is at a right angle, which is different from my TV." ”
"Yes, it's a right-angled plane."
The charter unplugged the power and said with a smile: "Everyone, whether it is the switch panel, or your tape recorder and radio, when has our appearance been more ugly than others?" As Director Sun said, the focus is not on the appearance, but on the picture tube. ”
Ding Wenming reacted like an empowerment, and couldn't help asking: "Charter, are you going to go on color TV?" ”
"I didn't think about getting on a color TV before, and all of this was pushed away. CT machine needs a display, luggage inspection X-ray machine needs a display, power grid monitoring needs a display, smart buildings also need a display, it can be said that the display is the face of our company, if the user will be regarded as assembly goods, OEM goods.
Color TV and display are the same thing,The technology is very mature,If you want to do it, you have to make something of our own。 So a few months ago, the Systems Engineering Laboratory began to develop right-angled planar picture tubes. The results are here, once put into mass production, whether it is our color TV or computer monitor, it will be as competitive in the international market as switch panels. ”
I thought that there was a picture tube manufacturer in the Special Economic Zone, and many color factory manufacturers came to him to get the goods. Ding Wenming was even more confused, staring at the charter and asking: "Even if you go to the color TV project, you won't need hundreds of millions, you can assemble it like a tape recorder and a radio." ”
"Director Sun, you can explain it to everyone."
Sun Xiaoguang took over the conversation and patiently introduced: "Everyone, the picture tube is composed of three parts: a shadow cover, a glass shell and an electron gun. If you have to OEM, you have to renovate the existing production line. And the cost of retrofitting is quite high. The foundry will inevitably ask us to bear this huge expense. In contrast, it is better to build two factories on their own, specializing in the production of shade hoods and glass shells.
It is worth mentioning that our project is different from other TV manufacturers in China. There is no need to buy patents and introduce Japanese production lines like they did. All the equipment comes from NB Industrial Manufacturing Company. German colleagues not only supplied equipment. Provide technical training, and will also participate in production and management until the first color TV and monitor roll off the production line. ”
This is the charter to NB Industrial Manufacturing big order. There was a color TV manufacturer in East Germany, although it went out of business, but the technology was still relatively mature. On the basis of absorbing the experience of West Germany, it is possible to produce a more advanced production line.
We don't ask for Japanese, Americans, or Koreans, and as a parent company that holds operating shares, we can also share a little production profit, which can save more than half of the money compared to buying Japanese patents and introducing Japanese production lines.
Looking at their face-to-face appearance, the charter said meaningfully: "Due to various reasons, the headquarters has not been very concerned about the electronics division in the past two years, so I plan to hand over this project to you, and completely separate the electronics division to form NB Electronics Co., Ltd." We have independent intellectual property rights, once the color TV and computer monitor open the market, the glass shell and shadow cover will also become the second profit point. The annual output value of billions is very easy, I don't know if everyone is interested? ”
Looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looking forward to the beginning, Chen Baolin was overjoyed, and said with a smile without thinking about it: "Of course I am interested, the competition between radio and tape recorders is becoming more and more fierce, in fact, we have long wanted to transform." ”
"Brother Wenming, Zhang Bing, what about you?"
The reason why he threw down the electronics division to speculate in stocks was that he wanted to make money for the charter to make a comeback, and secondly, because the more he worked, the more boring he became. At the same time, the annual output value of NB electricians started is hundreds of millions, NB electrical appliances are behind, and NB high and low voltage complete sets will also break through the 100 million yuan mark by the end of the year.
In other words, no one has a taste in their hearts.
He wanted to agree but was embarrassed to speak, Li Xiaoshan was happy and reminded: "Mr. Ding, this is the largest investment in the company's history, and there will be no such store in this village after this village." ”
", what else is there to say?" Without waiting for him to speak, Wu Xiaozhu said impatiently: "We still have more than 50 million worth of stocks if the funds are not enough, and all of them will be cashed out and handed over after the New Year, anyway, everyone's money." ”
"Really willing?"
"What's there to be reluctant to?"
Ding Wenming and Zhang Bing glanced at each other, shook their heads and smiled bitterly: "I can see it, this stock is a drum and a flower, whoever gets it the most is unlucky." Even if the headquarters does not have a color TV project, we plan to spend the New Year. ”
Doing business is the right way, Liu Siwei nodded with satisfaction, and said earnestly: "Wenming, Zhang Bing, this money is earned by you, you have taken a big risk, what should be yours is yours, and the company will not take advantage of you." ”
Wu Xiaozhu was anxious, shook his head again and again, and said, "Brother-in-law, why do you say such a thing?" This money is originally everyone's, you have a share, I have a share, the charter has a share, and Mr. Li and Mr. Hu have a share! NB Electronics' equity is calculated according to the actual shares, and it can no longer take care of us as deliberately as NB Electrician. ”
"Yes, the company doesn't want to take advantage of us, and we don't want to take advantage of the company."
"Charter, what do you say?"
Once the planar right-angle color TV and computer monitor are mass-produced, they will be like a cash cow, which will continue to give the company a steady stream of blood transfusions, and even if it takes a little shares, it will also gain huge benefits.
After weighing it, he raised his head and said, "Since everyone thinks so, let's do what Xiaozhu said." But there's one thing I'd like to say ahead of me, so that you can be prepared. Sooner or later, CRT will be eliminated, and perhaps in a few years, the company will adjust the business of NB Electronics. Color TVs, monitors and shade cover businesses will be packaged and sold, and glass shells will be transferred to photovoltaic glass, and the reason why I am so determined to embark on this CRT project is to lay the foundation for future photovoltaic products. ”
"So what are we going to do then?"
"It is the best choice to settle in the bag, and there are two other ways, either to invest in the research and development of liquid crystal display technology, or to invest in the research and development of semiconductor chips, but this requires a lot of courage, once you choose to take this road, you must be ready to go bankrupt like me."
One wrong step, one wrong step, three years ago when he first proposed unconventional development, he retreated, so that now he has become a marginal person of NB Electric, Ding Wenming does not want to miss the opportunity again, and said categorically: "San'er, we listen to you, you say that we will invest in the research and development of liquid crystal technology, and we will invest in the research and development of liquid crystal technology, and we will be on the chip when you say that the chip." ”
Zhang Bing agreed: "Yes, anyway, the money I make now can't be spent in a few lifetimes, so it's better to take out some of it and gamble with you." ”
Seeing that the chairman looked at him with a smile, Wu Xiaozhu hurriedly said: "Don't look at me, I have no opinion." ”
Wu Xiaolian, who had been silent, raised her hand like a primary school student and said, "I don't have an opinion." ”
The brothers and sisters are in the same boat, which reminds the charter of the scene of starting a business together when they first arrived in the Special Economic Zone, and can't help but say: "Brother Wenming, Brother Zhang Bing, Xiaozhu, Xiaojun, I will not let you down, and the NB laboratory will not let you down, no matter how much R&D funds you invest, you will definitely get ten times or even a hundred times the return in the future." ”
"That's right," Liu Siwei added, "The headquarters will set up an NB computer company to test and assemble NB brand computers, and monitors will also be purchased from NB Electronics." Considering that CT projects, baggage X-ray inspection projects, grid automation projects, and smart building projects are all waiting for flat right-angle displays, it is important to move quickly.
The land has been coordinated with the municipal government, the plant is built in Bao'an, also contracted by the provincial second construction general, the same requirements for the speed of Xiangjiang, the first month of the twelfth day of the start, October 1 to complete, civil construction and installation at the same time, and strive to put into production within a year. ”
The original business cannot be affected, and the chairman will definitely return to the Hong Kong headquarters.
The Middle East plan involves three regional companies, and the articles of association will fly to Saudi Arabia early tomorrow morning for coordination. It is not so easy for a factory with an investment of hundreds of millions to start from scratch, and Ding Wenming, Zhang Bing, Chen Baolin, Wu Xiaozhu and others suddenly realized what pressure is.
