Chapter 188: Liaoyuan Spark(1/2)
Chen Lidong "unified" the opinions of his two father-generation shareholders by raising a glass and swearing an oath, and decided on the matter of repairing the dock and building the port.
The follow-up work is mainly handed over to Luo Hao, who recruits professionals and forms a project team.
There are a large number of such talents in Jishi.
Every year, Jishi Port cleans up channels, builds sea barriers, expands shorelines, and builds new docks. There are numerous projects, and there are so many things to do that it fills your head.
Therefore, in Ji City, there is an overflow of professionals such as waterway engineering.
Chen Lidong plans to form a team as Party A to be responsible for exploration, surveying, design, cost and project management.
The specific construction unit, that is, Party B, will be the main force of mechanical servants.
He planned to arrange for Wang Hongbin to acquire a port and shipping construction company in Vladivostok, mainly to obtain corresponding qualifications and absorb some advanced technologies.
If we really want to do it in the future, it will be a matter of switching from left hand to right hand.
According to Chen Lidong's estimation, it will take two or three years to repair the wharf and build the port.
There is another matter at hand, which is the acquisition of a refractory material factory.
Shen Yiming once proposed that the refractory material factory be used as compensation for Donghua's construction of the port.
In fact, there is no need, and Donghua cannot afford to wait. Since Panshan Port can dock 3,000-ton cargo ships, it can already meet the current needs of production and operations.
Therefore, the Municipal Economic Commission dug out the evaluation report of the refractory material factory that was sold that year, added a price increase, and issued an announcement.
In the end, the refractory material factory covering an area of 80 acres was sold to Donghua for 8 million yuan.
Then Donghua proposed to build a cement factory and a building materials factory on the side of the refractory material factory to prepare for future port construction.
Of course, the Panshan Municipal Government welcomes it and immediately arranges relevant departments to cooperate with Donghua in conducting project feasibility studies, project approval, handling land procedures, and carrying out planning work.
These tasks were specific and tedious, and were handed over to Donghua Investment. Liang Guoying was so stressed that he could not lift his head all day long.
As New Year's Day approached in 1998, Chen Lidong suddenly received a call from Wen Xiaoyu.
After Wen Xiaoyu was appointed, things went smoothly in Dongping District, but he was also very busy.
The magic wand of power is actually the same as the system. Wearing the crown requires bearing its weight.
Sometimes it is difficult to tell whether people control power or power directs people.
If you fail to complete the mission given by the power, you will definitely suffer debuffs. In serious cases, you will be "system reorganized" and abandoned by the power and circle.
Therefore, Wen Xiaoyu and Chen Lidong have rarely contacted each other recently.
But this time, what Wen Xiaoyu said on the phone made Chen Lidong feel unsure.
Wen Xiaoyu's original words were: "Don't travel far these two days, my second grandfather wants to see you."
Wen Xiaoyu's second grandfather is Ansu's father. Wen Xiaoyu said that the old man was a ministerial leader before he retired.
Chen Lidong inquired and found out that the old man's political achievements and character were nothing to speak of. He was very low-key after retirement and lived a secluded life.
Chen Lidong was doing business and did not want to be labeled as someone, so he had no intention of disturbing the elderly.
But this time, the old man took the initiative to see him.
Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
Anyone who has lived more than half his life knows that the unexpected is often not a good thing.
Chen Lidong thought: Could it be that something happened to the An family? Donghua needs to intervene?
Or is the Hanjiang Iron Works facing collapse, and Ansu and others ask the old man to come forward and let Donghua take over?
Or is it a gathering of old naughty boys like Shen Xing, and they want to invite this little friend Donghua to support them?
Donghua was upright and behaved well. He never offended anyone, nor did he offend anyone. He never provoked anyone or harmed anyone. As for Kong Yilin's plan to seize Celeron shares, he was also planning ahead.
After thinking for a long time, it seemed that there was nothing to worry about, so Chen Lidong simply ran to Yanjing and waited for the old man to summon him.
When visiting Yanjing, it is inevitable to visit Donghua Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.
If we exclude the factors such as computer purchases and computer donations by Donghua and its affiliated customers, Donghua Electronics would almost be at a loss.
It’s not that they don’t make money, it’s that the money they make doesn’t cover the cost of purchasing the state-owned assets that Yanwu sold.
The main business of Donghua Electronics includes computer assembly, USB flash drive production, and Walkman production, as well as Internet cafes and OEM business.
The market for USB flash drives and Walkmans is tepid. The reason is that the price of flash memory remains high, which leads to a lack of enthusiasm in the market.
The foundry business is indeed very profitable, but the current production capacity is still limited.
With the size of Yanwu Component Factory's workshop, it can only arrange two patch production lines. Faced with large orders, Wu Jiali lacks confidence.
However, by acquiring the "leftover materials" transferred by Yanwu, Donghua Electronics is already preparing to increase production capacity.
Several Internet cafes were full. It seemed that the Internet era in Yanjing had arrived.
Chen Lidong looked at the operating conditions of various sectors like a revolving door. When he walked to Donghua Computer Assembly Factory, Chen Lidong frowned.
It's said to be an assembly plant, but it's actually a warehouse.
This warehouse is on the same street as the component factory, and it also belongs to Yanwu. It was once rented by Wu Jiali to sell mechanical and electrical products, and now it also belongs to Donghua.
The warehouse of several thousand square meters is dark and damp, and various accessories, components, packaging materials, etc. are piled up in a very messy place.
After reading it, Chen Lidong said to Zhang Xuedong: "Donghua Computer was originally produced in a utility room like this. It's really hard for you.
It’s also difficult for Wang Jiayin to promote the Donghua Electronics brand so well that people who don’t know the details think that every computer is carefully crafted by skilled craftsmen.”
Zhang Xuedong immediately understood that the boss was sarcastic!
He quickly explained: "I didn't think carefully. I thought that the warehouse would be demolished next year, so I didn't put in the effort to decorate the partitions.
Everyone just thought it was a simple matter and just made do, and the management didn't keep up."
When Chen Lidong heard "Brother Dong" say that the warehouse would be demolished next year, he asked: "Are you going to demolish this warehouse? Where will you put the computer assembly business?"
Zhang Xuedong said: "There are nearly 400 acres of industrial land on the other side of the component factory. I want to work hard to buy that area and build our electronics industrial park.
In this electronics industrial park, it is planned to build a Donghua computer assembly production line and arrange several patch production lines.
This is the preliminary plan of the few of us. When we report on our work at the end of the year, I will report to the group.
The warehouse will be demolished in the future and a flagship store of Donghua Electronics will be built..."
"Okay!" Before Zhang Xuedong could finish speaking, Chen Lidong shouted directly.
At present, the price of industrial land in Yanjing has not risen yet. The component factory is located between the third and fourth rings. It belongs to Category 5 industrial land. The price per square meter is around 350 yuan. 400 acres of land can be purchased for more than 90 million yuan.
And it seems that Zhang Xuedong is even confident of raising this 100 million yuan.
There are dozens of subsidiaries and subsidiaries under Donghua, many of them are just looking after stalls, and few of them are ambitious.
Zhang Xuedong is worthy of being a great man for future generations. He dares to think and do things. For such subordinates, Chen Lidong intends to give them full freedom and work hard to let them make a name for themselves.
"What kind of support do you need from the group?" Chen Lidong asked.
Zhang Xuedong hesitated for a few seconds and said: "Chairman, maybe you don't know that the largest customer of Donghua Computer is our group.
Thousands of them were sold to the waste recycling sites affiliated with Donghua Recycling Company."
Chen Lidong was shocked and said: "So many? We have thousands of franchise units?"
Zhang Xuedong chuckled and said: "Your father is a marketing master. Jiang Hong and the others reported that the franchisees are very clear about their calculations. If they can take advantage of Donghua Regeneration, they can earn the money of several computers in a year."
Donghua Recycling will regularly publish the types and prices of recycled materials, and can even remotely guide bulk purchase operations. These businesses cannot be carried out without computers.
My plan is to rely on these waste recycling points to develop a computer agency/sales business.
They all have computers in their hands and are connected to the Internet. I want to train them remotely to become Donghua Computer salespeople, helping us assemble computers for customers, upgrade systems, install networks, and perform inspection and maintenance.
Every time a computer is sold or a business is launched, we will give them a certain percentage of commission, and after the performance reaches a certain amount, appropriate rewards will be given."
Chen Lidong frowned, thought for a long time and said, "How dare you think that this is a rag collector selling computers.
The cultural level of these people is worrisome. They have to use two fingers to type, but you actually ask them to assemble a computer?"
Zhang Xuedong said with a smile: "Building a computer is no more complicated than installing a threshing machine.
Typing is not too difficult. How many people in China could type two years ago? Probably tens of thousands.
Now? I estimate there are millions.
These people are not necessarily college students, they are probably ordinary people with a small fortune.
I went to see the newly added Tattered King section on our group website. The people there are very capable of filling in. The Tattered King section is already the most active section in the forum.
The leader said: A single spark can start a prairie fire. If these people are trained into Donghua Electronics’ sales force, the future home computers will definitely belong to Donghua.”
Chen Lidong was stunned after hearing this. "Brother Dong" really has a lot of vision.
At present, all major computer brands, led by Lianxiang, are working hard for government agencies, enterprises and institutions.
The country is also vigorously promoting informatization construction, providing a large market for these brand computers.
But the future computer users will definitely be families. Computers will become standard equipment for newlywed families, and home computers will have a trillion-yuan market.
Originally, Chen Lidong naively wanted to occupy the computer market in the education system and cultivate the habit of using Donghua computers among children.
However, when the children grow up and have enough financial resources to buy a computer, they will definitely be admitted to college. It will take about 9 years to get to this day.
