Use barley factories to gradually replace the production capacity of Palm Company. This was Zhou Daoen's suggestion to Chen Yang and Huang Shan two weeks after taking office, when the acquisition was in progress.

"ODM, that is, original design manufacturer, is an original design manufacturer. It is a higher-level foundry model than OEM, which is an original equipment manufacturer.

The biggest difference between ODM and OEM is that OEM only performs OEM production, and the design needs to be completed by Party A itself, while ODM manufacturers complete everything from design to production by themselves, and the buyer can directly OEM. This kind of OEM

This method is adopted by many large foundries, such as Futukang.”

Chen Yang secretly nodded, yes, he asked Futukang to do Damai OEM at that time, using the ODM model. No wonder Futukang agreed so simply, it turns out that they already have this kind of business.

Zhou Daoen was still gesturing with his hands, "I have learned about Damai's R&D capabilities. In addition to the core system and peripheral software parts, Damai can completely provide ODM services for Palm products, responsible for a series of design work from internal hardware structure to appearance, and for

They do OEM work.”

Chen Yang glanced at the former operations director of Palm in surprise. This guy's position changed very quickly. He had only been here for half a month and he was already thinking about tearing down his old employer.

Hey, wasn't his former employer also him? Is he playing at his own pace?

However, this suggestion is quite satisfactory.

If barley has more production capacity, creates more jobs, and creates more social value, it will help itself even more.

As for Palm Company, you are an American company and can just be a tool. You don’t need to expect too much.

Besides, don't they still retain their core technology? It's better than some later domestic mobile phone brands that have nothing but a brand!

Then Zhou Daoen said again,

After the reorganization, Palm hopes to return to the top position in the same industry in the United States. However, if it needs to maintain a certain social influence, then it really cannot eliminate all factories.

Because in the United States, jobs are also a very important political bargaining chip.

As the saying goes, by the way, there is strength in numbers!

Therefore, retain the lowest production capacity of Palm's own factory under the current conditions, maintain the staff size at a certain level, and even slightly increase the number of people.

Then the increased product demand will be transferred to domestic production. On the one hand, it can reduce production costs. On the other hand, it can also provide sufficient production demand for the upcoming second phase of the Damai factory.

A merger would benefit both parties. This is the most suitable arrangement for both Barley and Palm.

When Huang Shan heard this suggestion, she directly said, "Although Palm's own production lines need to be retained, it does not mean that all products must be completed in this factory from beginning to end.

We can make appropriate adjustments to the process, put the higher requirements on workers and the most technical parts in China, and put the relatively simple processes such as final assembly, testing and packaging in American factories. Wouldn't we be able to achieve the same goal?

!”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Yang and Zhou Daoen both nodded with deep understanding.

Zhou Daoen was also inspired, "The original hardware R&D team of Palm Company will gradually shift to work in two stages. The first stage is to provide original ideas and determine the feasibility, and then Damai will carry out the subsequent design work. After completing the design, we will

Deliver the prototype results to Palm for testing."

When Chen Yang heard this, he couldn't help but wiped his hands with cold sweat. Good guy, this is going to empty the palm.

Immediately he couldn't help but slap his thigh, "Just do it!"

Zhou Daoen also suggested, “Participation in political governance is a tradition of American companies, and appropriate donations are unavoidable.

Small companies will participate in municipal elections, larger companies will participate in state-level elections, and larger companies will participate in all-inclusive elections. In this way, bets will be placed level by level.

It just so happens that this year is also an election year in the United States. Choosing at least one suitable target to bet on will help Palm Group continue to maintain its tradition and not become independent."

Chen Yang immediately agreed without saying a word.

So, there was this scene in front of me,

Huang Shan originally thought that she might have to spend some time convincing Patrick McVeigh to agree to the production line transfer plan.

but,

Unexpected, unexpected,

Under the threat of the former CEO of Puting Company, in order to keep his position and further ascend to the position of chairman of the soon-to-be-established Palm Group, Patrick not only did not need to be persuaded, but even knew the elegant meaning of the song after hearing it, and took the initiative to cater to the plan, saving her trouble.

less effort,

And Patrick doesn't have any psychological burden at all. Isn't it just to separate part of the production and R&D links? The Detroit Big Three have done this before, and many peers are also doing this. Why can't Palm?!

Anyway, as long as you, no, the Palm company can make money, everything else is not important.

Not to mention that this is the boss’ request,

As for what they say about giving this side one year, the R&D team’s design can’t be better than Damai’s, so be it.

Haha, what is the judging criteria? Who is the referee?

In the end, it is not the board of directors who has the final say!

Of course, it is Boss Chen who has the final say.

…

After coming out of Palm Company, Huang Shan got into the Lincoln extended limousine provided by Honggu Capital America, took out her mobile phone and called Boss Chen.

"Hey, boss, everything has been done. It was finalized according to the results of our previous discussion. There are no discrepancies.

Yes, it went very well. I can fly back tomorrow.

Okay, I know, it's okay,

However, do we really not consider hedging our bets? Although all the chips on Palm were given to the Donkey Party, there are still 5,500 employees in New United Automobile Company. Before transferring to Tesla, we also

You can use the name of this company to sponsor the Elephant Party.

Hedging is not a problem. In fact, except for people who have very clear political leanings or have clear demands, most companies are used to hedging their bets.

No matter who is elected, it will be good for them, at least to ensure that their own interests will not suffer too much damage, and those who lose will also feedback friendship, they are not useless,

What? Okay?”

Huang Shan was a little surprised to hear that Boss Chen changed his mind, but she thought it was normal. Before understanding the actual situation, didn't she also think that she could only sponsor one person?

If you can bet on both sides, who cares who wins?!

Then he asked, "Who are you sponsoring? McCain?"

McCain is the most powerful candidate of the Elephant Party this term. Facing a black boy, this white candidate appears confident. In fact, people from all walks of life generally believe that he has a very good chance of winning.

But Boss Chen's answer surprised her.

"Ah? Don't donate to individuals?

Just give it all to Xiang Party public institutions, just a few million dollars?

Oh, that's it...

Okay, I understand, okay, I will ask them to do this without delaying my return to China tomorrow, um, bye."

Putting her cell phone away, Huang Shan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. If she didn't donate it to the Xiang Party, it meant that the boss still only valued the black guy from the Donkey Party.

Well, the boss is indeed a master at macroeconomic control, but I wonder if he can predict society as accurately as he does the economy?!

…

April 22nd, Tuesday, is a good time to open a business, start construction, open a business, and make a stove.

Damai Technology Building, and the Huahuo Technology Building next to it, the bottom six floors are connected as a podium. The sixth floor has a floor height of 6.8 meters. It is not enough to be used as a cinema screening room, but it can be used as a screening room.

The multifunctional conference hall is more than enough.

The nearly two thousand square meters hall has a one-meter-two-meter high stage at the front.

The stage alone is over 200 square meters. The background wall of the stage is an LED display covering the entire wall.

There are 600 seats arranged below the stage. Considering the capacity of this space, 600 seats are quite comfortable.

At the very back of the hall, there is a platform that is slightly higher than the stage, about two meters high and ten meters deep. This is the media area, which can accommodate thirty to fifty media at the same time for all-round live coverage.

,

Of course, it's not impossible to have more, but the experience will be slightly worse, so it's not necessary.

At 9:30 in the morning, people were already in the media box.

While debugging the equipment, a reporter from Guangdong TV looked at his colleagues next to him in surprise, "How come all the TV stations from Jiangbei Province are here at Damai's product launch conference?"

I still remember that at the press conference last October, there were only a few local media represented by the Guangzhou local TV station and the provincial TV station. I didn’t expect it to be so lively this year, with even satellite TV stations from other provinces coming.

The photojournalist from Jiangbei TV curled his lips and pointed vaguely at the best spot in the middle, "Even CCTV is here, why don't we come? In any case, Chen Yang can be considered a Jiangbei person, so he always saves face.

Give it to me!"

The reporter looked over in surprise, hey, it's true, he was brought here by the staff just now, and he didn't even notice that the best seat was occupied.

But CCTV?

Haha, Damai is quite generous.

I just don’t know how much money I spent on transportation this time.

More than two dozen TV media outlets, large and small, and about thirty online and print media outlets arrived one after another, filling this large media area.

At the same time, guests began to arrive.

The general agent of Longjiang Province, who had been to Guangzhou once last year, carried his briefcase and walked in first. As soon as he walked out of the passage, a flash of light came from behind, which scared him and turned around quickly.
