Chapter 377: Utopia Plan
The office area of the factory is quiet, and according to the personnel information just checked, there are only about a dozen administrative staff in the company.
Although the weather in South China is still relatively hot, walking in the corridor still gives people a cool feeling.
The representatives of Wall Street institutions impatiently found the office of the general manager of the factory, only to find that the other party was listening to music, leisurely, and looked like they were working.
They immediately proposed to visit the production workshop on the spot. The general manager of the factory did not refuse, and directly led them to a factory where production activities were underway.
Entering the production workshop, the representatives of the organization were greeted by more than a dozen long automated assembly lines, and hundreds of robotic arms were grabbing the motherboard and placing it on different conveyor belts.
It's just that the speed of these robotic arms is relatively slow. There doesn't seem to be a deliberate pursuit of yield.
The general manager of the factory said with emotion: "I don't know when it started, some factories engaged in automation, as if it was just for fast, but it was about to smoke or it didn't feel fast enough, and speed became the only indicator." ”
"Sitting on the speed of a rocket, you can only produce a bunch of products with a high price."
"But we are a high-tech company, not a handicraft workshop, and high precision is the goal we pursue."
"The original intention of establishing automation equipment is not for speed, there are many high-tech products, such as computers, mobile phones, three screws in a second, infinity companies dare not use, the faster the speed, the more difficult it is to control the accuracy, and the defective rate is high." After listening to this, some representatives of the consortium felt that there was some reason.
If the defective rate of the product is maintained at a very low level, the production cost will naturally be greatly reduced, which can further reduce the sales price of the product.
In this case, it is indeed difficult to determine that they have committed dumping practices. At the end of each production line, they also saw a huge machine that gathered several robotic arms together and rotated them quickly to accurately attach chips and electronic components to the formulated integrated circuit board.
After inquiry, I learned that this is the latest generation of placement machine developed by Infinity Company, which can reach a speed of 1/hour and an accuracy of 40 microns, which is the most critical and complex equipment in the entire SMT.
This kind of precision equipment, which should have been highly monopolized by the island country, did not expect to be developed by Infinity Company here.
After simple calculations, they easily came to a conclusion. According to the production speed of these automated production lines, the daily output and the defective rate, 24 hours a day of uninterrupted operation, it is easy to produce hundreds of thousands of motherboards a month.
Many of the employees in the workshop are playing with their mobile phones, which is enough to show that the failure rate of these automation equipment is very low.
No maintenance is required at all. That's what the media is talking about
"The factory of the world"? Even in the eastern industrial region of the United States, such highly automated assembly lines are rare.
They were no longer in the mood to go shopping, and when they returned to the hotel, the first thing they did was to write a detailed report on what they had seen and heard here, and send it to the relevant agencies on the other side of the ocean by email.
Next. 9:00 a.m. The Hong Kong stock market is open as usual. However, it was soon discovered that the market opened nearly two percentage points higher!
Just when shareholders were asking everywhere if there was any good news, the stock of Infinity Company was directly fixed at HK$524.79 after the call auction, an increase of 105%!
Xiangjiang investors couldn't believe their eyes! They clearly remember that the closing price of Infinity Company yesterday was 256 Hong Kong dollars, with a market value of more than 1.2 trillion yuan.
I haven't heard anything special! Among them, there are some retail investors who hold shares, and in the face of such a huge floating profit on the account, they can't help but throw it out immediately after the official opening of trading.
But I didn't expect that as soon as the order went out, there were several huge orders, at a price of nearly ten percentage points higher than the current price, and the scattered orders on the disk were swept away without the slightest pause and hesitation.
Affected by this sentiment. The intraday stock price once approached 550 Hong Kong dollars, and the price of buying 100 shares/lot alone required more than 50,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Seeing this, many investors in Xiangjiang said that they could not afford it. In the past, you could buy a lot of money without eating or drinking a month's salary, but now it has more than doubled, and you can only look at it.
The inexplicable surge in the stock price caused the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to temporarily suspend the trading of Infinity's shares, and sent a letter of inquiry to the company's board of directors, asking whether there was any undisclosed material information, resulting in abnormal fluctuations in the stock price.
When Chen Weidong received the letter of inquiry, he was also confused. But soon, he thought of the key to this, those Wall Street institutions, still couldn't help but take action.
He was not panicked, he asked Li Xi'er to count last time, and now in the stock market, the outstanding shares of Infinity companies are very rare, and most of them are in the hands of several of their high-level executives and some consortiums.
Only a small fraction is held by retail investors. Even if someone collects all the stocks in the hands of retail investors, it will not have any impact on the control of the company.
However, the current stock price of more than 500 yuan is indeed too high, even if it is placed in the future generations, it is also a high-priced stock, and the excessively high stock price is not conducive to retail investors to buy, which will affect the liquidity of the stock.
This issue was resolved at the shareholders' meeting three days later. At the meeting, Chen Weidong proposed to ex-rights the stock price, and its profit distribution plan is 50 shares for every 10 shares, so that the stock price will be reduced, so that more investors can enjoy the dividends brought by the company's development.
Lin Zeju and Chen Jie have no objection to this. After more than 10,000 shareholders of all sizes voted on the spot, the pre-euphoria was finally approved with a 96% approval rate and submitted to the Stock Exchange for review.
The specific matters will not be formally implemented until approved by the Stock Exchange. With such a high proportion of transfers, the news could not be concealed at all, and after the shareholders' meeting, countless financial media reported the news.
In this era, five out of ten shares of listed companies can be regarded as free
"High transfer", and now the infinity company gives 50 out of 10, which is unprecedented in the Xiangjiang stock market.
Therefore, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was also taken aback when it received this pre-report. There is no precedent for this.
It's about to set a record for the high transfer of Hong Kong stocks. However, at the meeting, a staff member with a good memory said that in the mainland, the A-share market has long had a more terrifying transfer record: on June 4, 1992, one of the earliest listed companies in China, Feilo shares went ex-rights and dividends, and its profit distribution plan was 90 shares for every 10 shares.
At the same time, at a price of 6 yuan / share for every 10 shares allocated 10 shares, after the ex-rights and dividends, its share price dropped from 2,600 yuan to more than 160 yuan.
As a result, after much consideration, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange finally agreed to this pre-agreement. After the end of the shareholders' meeting, the senior management of Infinity Company was not idle, and jointly with some well-known foreign-funded enterprises such as the Ministry of Commerce, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Commission of Science and Technology, a large-scale technology transfer meeting was held.
The six major laboratories also took advantage of this opportunity to sell and authorize some technology patents that could be used for commercialization, solving a large amount of R&D funds.
As the relationship between the two eased. Some of the equipment embargoed under the Batumi Agreement began to be sold to China in small quantities.
Infinity took this opportunity to purchase a lot of high-precision equipment that could not be manufactured and produced in China in the name of a third party, filling a number of technical gaps and paving the way for the next plan.
In 2004, so much happened around the world. But fortunately, the New Year of China is quietly coming.
Climb over this mountain and see the sea in front of you.
