Chapter Ninety-Seven: The First Company
What needs to be done now is to figure out how big the upfront investment is to build this factory and how profitable it is to supply Murata.
So he asked Lao Jia to wait for his call, and he wanted to investigate it himself. The way he did his research was to find out the prices of equipment and materials online, and most importantly, to consult with a few suppliers.
Of course, it takes a lot of skill to investigate these things from suppliers. These are not too difficult things for Scarface.
The original ten suppliers were divided into 50 million, but now they have been consolidated into six, and three more have problems, which is equivalent to only three at present, which is a huge temptation for any surviving supplier.
The company now has a clear direction, that is, it urgently needs to add two or three suppliers, and as a last resort, it has to use the four that were originally eliminated.
So Scarface just needs to say that the supplier he found is very advantageous in price, but he is always worried about which link the other party will be bored.
Those survivors will immediately help him analyze the areas that can save costs, and the links that can be cheated and not easy to detect.
Some new manufacturers who want to supply are also, as long as Scarface wants to understand, they will give a detailed explanation.
There must be a lot of moisture in this, but for each manufacturer, the angle of questioning is different, the things they understand are different, and the links they hide moisture are also different.
After talking to more than a dozen such manufacturers, I also went to the supplier's factory for field visits, and Scarface not only knows the production process well, but also knows the cost.
Just a week later, Scarface called Lao Jia and asked him to make an appointment with Sister Diao, this time he was treated.
Of course, Lao Jia knew what was going on, and agreed on a specific time and place, and Lao Jia brought his wife to participate in this important meeting.
Lao Jia's lover's surname is Meng and Lao Jia are the same age, and they look very good-looking, but they feel very average when they first meet, and the longer the contact time, the better.
Now in Lao Jia's company, he holds the financial power, he is slightly fat, and he is the same age as Lao Jia and Sister Diao, and he is also thirty-three years old this year.
But judging from his face alone, he and Lao Jia seem to be two generations, and others say that Lao Jia and his daughter-in-law are together, just like a father leading his daughter.
Sister Diao also deliberately dressed up today, which made her look more mature. Lao Jia and his wife and Sister Diao arrived first, and when Scarface arrived, the three of them were already talking and laughing.
They are all classmates in the same department and different majors, and they may not have spoken much when they were in school, but they have often been in contact with each other in their work after graduation, and they are also very familiar friends.
Every time Lao Jia talks to Sister Diao, he has to look at some wives first, which seems more cramped.
As soon as Scarface came in, Lao Jia finally breathed a sigh of relief. A few people greeted politely, Lao Jia asked the waiter to serve the food, and then several people chatted while eating.
"Section Chief Lu, it seems that there is good news announced today, let's listen to the results first, so that it tastes good." Lao Jia took the lead in breaking the deadlock, and he also wanted to know how Scarface would help Sister Diao in the end.
"Don't be Section Chief Lu, Section Chief Lu, everyone is an acquaintance, just call me Xiao Lu. I think now, we are working together to run a factory of plastic bags and PE bags, I don't know if Sister Diao and Brother Jia are interested. Scarface also said straight to the point.
"I don't understand these things, you see what I'm doing. I'll just count the money, and you'll decide the rest, leave me alone, and if you think I'm in the way, I'll go back first. Sister Meng saw that Lao Jia wanted to speak, and looked at her again, so she said with a smile
"I don't understand this industry, but if there is something I can help, I will naturally spare no effort." Lao Jia took the lead in expressing his position.
"Xiao Lu, I know that you and Brother Jia want to help me, of course I'm fine. I'm afraid that I don't have that strength, my current situation Brother Jia knows that if I need to invest, it will be more difficult for me. ”
Sister Diao also spoke honestly about her situation, but it could be seen that she was looking forward to getting involved.
"Sister Diao, are you familiar with products such as PE bags and plastic bags? From the procurement of raw materials, product production, to the inspection of finished products, these are not understood. Scarface asked Sister Diao.
"When our company was thriving, the purchase of these things was quite large, and we have been to many such manufacturers.
If you want to talk about the basic process and management points, you can understand it, but you don't understand the specific technical aspects at all. Sister Diao said very truthfully.
"It's all the same. As long as you understand, I also learned it recently. I think so, I have roughly calculated all the equipment investment, film blowing machine, foaming machine, bag making machine .......
If I calculate according to the supply volume that I can come up with now, all the new equipment will need to be invested, and the investment required is about 500,000 yuan, and if it goes well, the equipment investment will be recovered in five months.
The two of you need to sum up the aspects of plant and personnel, and I have no experience in this area. ”
"It's easy to say, just have two good technicians to produce this kind of thing, and then the rest are ordinary operators.
The salary of technical personnel can be slightly higher, I think 3,000 to the top, the personnel is equipped according to the output, how can the unit output value be 200,000. Sister Diao quickly expressed her opinion.
"I think we can have one more option, and recently several of my regular clients have been going downhill or facing closure.
The plastic bag factories that supply them also have business difficulties, and we can directly buy some factories that are sluggish, which is much easier than starting over. ”
Most of Lao Jia's customers are furniture factories like Murata, so the situation is similar, and all of them have severely reduced production.
"Brother Jia's idea is very good, I didn't expect it yet. In the past few days, I have only thought about investing in new factories, and the few I have been to are indeed not large in business volume and have a lot of idle equipment. Scarface also agreed with Lao Jia's train of thought.
"Then you give me a list of the sluggish manufacturers you have seen, and I will go to the ones I know.
Strive to acquire one directly, so that we don't have to worry about the technology and other aspects that we don't understand. Lao Jia said.
"Hmm. As for these few, I don't think the business volume is large. Scarface retrieved a few business cards from his bag.
"Most of the people I know are here, and it seems that this circle is not big, and they all went to you to run business?" Lao Jia said while flipping through his business card.
"Hmm. I went to the factory to see some of them, and some of them were asked, but I didn't even like them at the time, and now it seems that they can still be used. It's hard work."
"Look at what you said, it's hard. Now there is another important question that needs to be clarified first, that is, what will be the trend of your company's output next year and the year after.
I estimate that when we supply the goods, your volume will also come down, and it will be very good to be able to recover the investment in half a year.
If your Murata closes down next year and we haven't found a new business, we'll be in trouble. ”
Lao Jia is worthy of being a person who does business, and he grasped the most important problem at once, which is the most important issue to consider at present.
"I thought about this question the other day. I look at the current situation, and next year we should continue to reduce production.
The range is not small, and I calculated according to the continued 20% reduction in production, that is, the output of 800,000 sets next year.
And to our own business volume, it is also very conservative to calculate according to one-fifth, a year of turnover of 8 million.
Murata's break-even point is at 400,000 units, and I don't think it will be that low in three years. Scarface was also prepared for this.
"Then brother, I can rest assured, this job can be done. I'm going to run all of them over tomorrow and try to have an eyebrow in the next few days, and we can start the official operation before the National Day. ”
Lao Jia saw that Scarface was not very old, and he thought about things thoroughly, and said happily.
"Let Sister Diao run with you, you also have your own company, and Sister Diao will mainly manage this new company in the future."
Scarface knows that Lao Jia is actually quite busy, but there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and if he takes Sister Diao and is afraid that his wife will be jealous, it is not good for him to take the initiative to ask.
"Look at you, look at me, look at me again, I'll pull out your eyeballs and give Xiao Lu wine."
Sister Meng looked at Lao Jia and looked at her again, she was still very happy in her heart, and deliberately pretended to be angry and said.
"Then I don't dare to eat it. Haha......" Scarface said with a smile.
Even if this matter is settled, several people are very happy. Just as the dishes came up, I began to eat and drink formally.
"Good. We wish our cooperation success first, do one. Lao Jia proposed, and everyone responded.
"The last important topic is the issue of investment and shares, I have no experience in this, I need Brother Jia and Sister Diao to come up with a plan first, and we can discuss it."
Scarface looked at Sister Diao and was still worried, and Lao Jia also wanted to speak and stopped, it is estimated that this most important thing has not been determined, and everyone still has concerns.
"Investment, I have no problem here, didn't you just say that it will cost 500,000 yuan to buy brand new equipment, and the amount is not a problem.
It's not easy to open your mouth on key shares, it doesn't matter if I want it or not, whether you are the initiator or you decide. ”
Lao Jia is not worried about money, he thinks that he can't grab a big share by himself.
"My brother settles the accounts, let's talk about things in advance, and there will be no controversy in the future.
Then let me talk about my thoughts first, it's just a brick throw, and the ignorant are fearless.
Because in the first half of the year, we estimated that we only invested and had no income, and Brother Jia and I had income, so it's okay to say, Sister Diao was estimated to be the busiest in the early stage, and now there is no income.
My basic idea is to invest half of me and Brother Jia in the early stage, and Brother Jia and I will each own 40% of the shares. Sister Diao gets a salary of 5,000 yuan a month, and the shares are calculated at 20%. ”
Scarface estimated that the two of them were embarrassed to take the initiative, so they put forward the plan they had already thought of first.
"That's not good, brother, you're not at a loss. And this method is too simple and crude, there is no primary and secondary company, who will make decisions when it comes to things that need to be decided? Lao Jia directly rejected Scarface's proposal.
"I don't agree with that either." Sister Diao also raised objections at the same time, but seeing that Lao Jia had spoken, she didn't continue.
"Then listen to Sister Diao first." Scarface said.
"Let's let Brother Jia say it first." Sister Diao humbly conceded.
"Xiao Diao will finish you first, I guess you don't have a too complicated plan. Mine is more complicated, so I'll synthesize your two ideas. ”
Lao Jia knows that everyone wants to cooperate sincerely, so it is necessary to make the most reasonable plan in the early stage.
"Hmm. I do have a very simple idea, I just want to have a job. You take care of me so much, I still need any shares, I don't pay a penny, I don't take any risks, and the shares are not used.
I will definitely be worthy of both of you and do my best to manage the factory for you. Sister Diao said.
"Hmm. I guess Xiao Diao will say the same, everyone wants to do things well first, and then talk about the benefits, then our cooperation will definitely be very pleasant. Then I'll tell you what I think. ”
Lao Jia said to the two, and then said a relatively complicated and reasonable plan.
The shares of the whole company are divided into three categories: capital shares, management shares, and business shares.
Capital shares account for 60% of the total shares, management shares account for 10%, and business shares account for 30%. In this way, it can not only promote the healthy development of the company, but also reasonably allow people who have contributed more in different periods to get due returns.
Now that the company is established, all the business is given by Scarface, which is equivalent to Scarface accounting for all the business shares.
In the future, Lao Jia and Sister Diao must also develop new businesses, and then gradually separate the 30% according to the size of the contribution.
The same is true for the management stock, now the full-time management is Sister Diao, she accounts for all the shares, and when some technical personnel or some proprietary talents need to use shares to incentivize, then the 10% will be gradually divided.
The same is true for capital stocks, where shareholders can choose to invest or give up if they need to continue to invest in the future.
After Lao Jia's explanation, everyone feels that this is indeed a more reasonable and long-term solution.
In this way, it is now that Scarface accounts for half of the capital shares and all of the business shares.
It adds up to 60% of all shares, and as an absolute majority shareholder, all decisions are made by Scarface.
Sister Diao is now the only full-time manager, which accounts for the entire management share, that is, 10%.
The next day, Lao Jia took Sister Diao to negotiate with the selected ones one by one, and as a result, the two of them took a fancy to a company named Sanyou Technology at the same time.
The main reason is that the name of this company is too appropriate, and Sanyou doesn't mean three friends.
This company, which used to supply some well-known international furniture companies, has always wanted to enter Murata, but has not found an opportunity.
Recently, the business of multinational furniture companies has begun to shrink sharply, and their business has fallen off a cliff, and now there is basically no business.
However, because it has been supplying multinational companies, it is still a leader in the industry in terms of technology and management.
At the same time, the price is also the highest, so the competitiveness in this low-end industry is very weak.
The only drawback is that the equipment is more than Scarface and Lao Jia calculated, according to Scarface's current business volume. Half of the equipment was idle after the acquisition, but fortunately, the asking price was reasonable.
The factory is rented, the personnel are hired, and the boss only needs the equipment money, and after some bargaining, the final price is 500,000, which is also very cost-effective for Scarface.
Later, Sister Diao took over the management of the enterprise, industrial and commercial taxation and other related change procedures. At the same time, Scarface also began to operate internally, introducing Sanyou into Murata's supplier system.
