Chapter 226 Xinghai Group is relocating and VCD is preparing to be listed!
"One more deduction!"
"Fang Bai, great, one more."
Time goes by, spring and summer change, and the century-old branches on the Jiaotong University campus are densely covered with leaves, and the feeling of spring is stronger.
The afternoon sun was mild, suitable for outdoor sports. Fang Bai rarely went to school to play a basketball match with his classmates. He had just deftly bypassed two opponents, then suddenly jumped high and dunked a basketball. Two or three people watching from the sidelines Ten girls were so excited that they couldn't help but scream when they saw their dream lover sweating with hormones on the court.
In addition to some fans, there is certainly no shortage of students watching the fun.
Busy with his career, Fang Bai hasn't played basketball for a while. It's a good way to vent his abundant energy and feel refreshed.
News reports that Fang Bai became famous at the NBA All-Star Game did not spread to China, but many Chinese knew about it.
After playing basketball for more than an hour, Fang Bai and his classmates sat on the ground outside the court, drinking water and chatting.
Last semester, Fang Bai took the CET-4 test and scored 99 points. After the results were made public, teachers and students were slightly surprised. For three semesters, Fang Bai's grades ranked first in the department.
At the end of his freshman semester, Fang Bai had completed self-study undergraduate courses in the mechanical major and began to learn knowledge in the automation and computer majors. During these two semesters, he was busy with his career and had less time to study. It is expected that it will take more than half a year to complete the studies.
In a month or two, the holidays are coming.
Xinghai Group has a school-enterprise cooperation with Jiaotong University. Starting from the holidays, teachers from the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering can take students to visit the new factory of Xinghai Group for internships to understand how the company operates.
Two days later, on May 16, the new factory was officially put into use and named "Xinghai Group Co., Ltd." instead of a subsidiary.
There are two thousand acres of industrial land, and one thousand acres of land will be developed and constructed in the first phase.
The budgeted construction cost was 100 million, but the actual cost was slightly exceeded. In addition, more than 100 million yuan has been spent on equipment purchase, and the purchase is still ongoing.
The total area of the new factory reaches 200,000 square meters, with a total of 20 factories. The largest area reaches 20,000 square meters, and the smallest area is only a few thousand square meters. At present, 100,000 square meters of factory buildings have been built and can be put into use. .
The comprehensive office building has 10 floors, with a single floor area of 2,000 square meters and a total construction area of 20,000 square meters. It can accommodate three to four thousand workstations and has an investment budget of approximately 10 million yuan. The floors below the third floor have been renovated and are ready for use, while the floors above the fourth floor are still under renovation.
The first phase of employee dormitories has a total of 6 dormitories with a total construction area of about 50,000 square meters and can accommodate 3,000 employees. The investment budget is about 20 million yuan.
Looking at the number of employees in machinery companies and technology companies, there are currently about 1,700 people working in Shanghai.
The second phase of employee dormitories is under planning, with a total construction area of 150,000 square meters and can accommodate 10,000 employees. It belongs to the second phase of the project.
According to Fang Bai's estimate, one thousand acres of industrial land can accommodate at least 5,000 employees working and living there.
Depending on the company's situation, Xinghai Machinery Company and Technology Company can relocate at the same time.
The relocated equipment needs to be reinstalled and debugged, which will definitely affect production.
The relocation was a heavy workload and took three full days to complete, and then several more days to resume production.
If you waste a few days, you will make a lot of money.
However, the new factory building is spacious and bright, with large space and more complete equipment, which improves production efficiency.
The new factory workshops are divided according to the process, including blanking workshop, welding and grinding workshop, machining workshop, heat treatment workshop, shot blasting workshop, spray painting workshop, assembly workshop, inventory workshop and other workshops.
Among them, the blanking and welding workshop and the assembly workshop occupy the largest area, reaching 20,000 square meters.
The air pollution in the paint shop was the largest, and after more than ten years, factories in the city would strictly control it. Fangbai does not have a good way to solve the pollution problem now, but it is better than the old method and provides employees with better protective masks.
The number of market orders is increasing and the current production capacity is insufficient. Fang Bai requires the personnel department to continue recruiting employees and expand production capacity.
There are many employee dormitories. Currently, dormitory buildings No. 1 and 2 are open and employees have officially moved into the new dormitories.
Ordinary workers and ordinary employees share a dormitory with separate bathrooms and water heaters.
There is a bed and table in the room, equipped with an electric fan. Air conditioning is not yet installed, and a washing machine can be installed outside the balcony.
Engineer, supervisor and other levels, single dormitory.
The indoor area of the dormitory is about 25 square meters, which is spacious enough.
You can cook on the balcony of the dormitory, and the company allows it, but gas tanks are not allowed, and only induction cookers can be used.
If you are a manager, senior engineer or above, you will live in an apartment.
After the employees moved to the new dormitory, they were happy to see the tile floors and separate bathrooms.
There are also basketball courts and badminton courts in front of the dormitory building, and the company canteen is nearby.
The new factory provides breakfast, lunch and dinner. If it is not included, it is difficult for employees to buy groceries. There are no restaurants near the factory.
In order to make it easier for employees to go shopping in the city center, the company has opened a shuttle bus every fifteen minutes after get off work and on weekends.
The Xinghai Group factory is just north of Nanpu Bridge. After crossing the bridge, you will reach the urban area of XH District.
It can be said that the opening of the new factory is an important milestone for Xinghai Group.
Sunday, May 30, 1993.
Today, Xinghai Group held a grand housewarming ceremony.
Fang Bai's parents also came to see the group's home.
Leaders of the Shanghai government, as well as leaders of multiple departments, leaders of the Pudong New Area government, leaders of the former Sha County government, presidents of banks that have loan business with Xinghai Group, and senior executives of Shanghai companies who have business dealings with Xinghai Group all came to participate. congratulate.
In addition to having interests, leaders of Jiaotong University, leaders of the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, and students from Class 3 of Mechanical Engineering also came to congratulate him.
Nearly two thousand employees in Shanghai all put on the group's POLO shirts and stood neatly in front of the company's complex building.
“What a magnificent company gate and office building!”
"This is the style of a big company!"
"This rock is so big. Where did it come from? What equipment can move it?"
There were a lot of visitors, looking at the grand gate of Xinghai Group with a little surprise.
In the middle of the gate is a huge piece of blue-gray quartzite. The length exposed on the surface is more than ten meters, about five meters high, and about three meters thick. It is buried underground at a depth of several meters.
This stone was originally here and was not moved from somewhere else.
It turned out to be a mound of earth, but Fang Bai didn't find it when he came to investigate.
After the engineering company pushed away the soil, they found this big stone. The person in charge thought it was quite beautiful, but couldn't move it. It would be a pity if it was blown up, so he called Bai Fang and asked for his opinion.
After Fang Bai saw it, he carefully observed the texture and luster of the stone, and the smooth surface, which he felt was very good. He planned to use it as the cornerstone and the door of the company.
Twenty or thirty years from now, this kind of stone will cost a lot of money to buy. If you don’t have one million yuan, you can’t even think about it, and it won’t be possible to move it away.
In addition to carving the four characters "Xinghai Group" and the LOGO, the original appearance of the stone is retained, and the font appears more solemn and domineering.
Standing a hundred meters away, you can clearly see the font and logo, which is very shocking.
In front of the rock, a large lawn was planted.
There are two gates on the left and right sides of the rock.
Each gate is very spacious, about twenty or thirty meters wide. Building such a spacious gate is not a formality, but a necessity.
Xinghai Group has a busy business, large equipment structure, and large trucks coming in and out. There must be enough space for large trucks to turn around.
There is still twenty or thirty meters of spacious space in front of the gate.
There is a security room and a reception room at the gate. External personnel will rest in the reception room after arriving. The HR department also conducts interviews with employees in the reception room, so as not to affect the normal work of the employees in the office building.
After entering the gate, a spacious avenue leads directly to the comprehensive office building. The road is lined with trees and the flower beds are filled with various colorful flowers, creating a beautiful scene.
The exterior wall of the comprehensive office building is a glass curtain wall, which looks like a large piece of blue glass from a distance, which is quite impressive in this era.
On the roof of the comprehensive office building, there is also the font and LOGO of "Xinghai Group".
In front of the office building is the parking lot, and behind it is the workshop.
The employee dormitory area occupies an exclusive area and is separated from the workshop.
At this time, the entire Xinghai Group employees were full of excitement and pride and had already lined up to wait for the ceremony to begin.
At ten o'clock, the housewarming ceremony officially began.
Senior leaders of the Shanghai government spoke first, congratulating Xinghai Group on its relocation and speaking highly of Xinghai Group's development in Shanghai.
He said that as an enterprise with strong strength and outstanding performance, Xinghai Group has played an important role in the development of Shanghai and contributed to the prosperity of the local economy.
Next, Fang Bai, as the chairman of Xinghai Group, delivered a passionate speech:
"Thanks to the support and care of the Shencheng leadership and the government, to our friends and businessmen for their trust and cooperation, and to our employees for their hard work.
Without you, Xinghai Group would not be what it is today.
In the past two years or so, Xinghai Group has grown from scratch to a monthly revenue of more than 300 million yuan, and it is still in a straight-line growth stage.
Starting from the ground pump, the first product of the Group Machinery Company, to the development of small and medium-sized diesel engines with core technologies, the core components are completely domestically produced, and all performances have reached the world's first-class level. The Group has developed towards international diversification.
For us, those are just small achievements.
We are here, about to start a new voyage...
In the core business district of Lujiazui, the group has purchased 90 acres of commercial land with a budget of 7.5 billion yuan to build our group's Xinghai Tower, with a planned height of more than 600 meters.
At the same time, we will build Xinghai Plaza covering an area of 100 acres in Lujiazui. Employees and family members of the group can get discounts when shopping in the mall.
We have started building employee apartments in Wencheng. Employees can purchase bungalows at cost price. In Shanghai, the group will also carry out such a plan to benefit employees.
The group will continue to improve employee benefits...
Xinghai Group will continue to uphold the spirit of independent innovation, unity and advancement, continue to expand its business scale, and make greater contributions to the country's economic development. "
After Fang Bai finished speaking, nearly two thousand employees and hundreds of guests applauded enthusiastically.
Employees are full of beautiful visions for the future. The leaders of the Shencheng government did not expect that Fangbai already had its own core technology. The leaders of Jiaotong University were very surprised by Fangbai's development speed.
The young man standing on the steps speaking passionately is already the chairman of a large enterprise group.
In the future, I really don’t know what it will be like.
Subsequently, Fang Bai and Shanghai government leaders unveiled the red ribbon of the group's new building, symbolizing the new starting point and development of Xinghai Group.
The setting off of firecrackers and fireworks also signifies the end of the ceremony.
After the housewarming ceremony, everyone entered the new comprehensive office building to visit.
The modern design and decoration of the comprehensive office building are amazing. The office areas of each department are reasonably laid out and equipped with complete facilities.
Fang Bai's parents were also full of praise for the group's new home, and they were also proud.
After inspecting the office building, the machine shop was also opened to guests, but the VCD machine produced by the technology company was not open to the public.
The machine processing workshop, with an investment of nearly 100 million yuan, has brand-new equipment, and most of it is CNC equipment.
Fang Bai said that the company has purchased a lot of imported equipment, which is currently being shipped by sea and is expected to arrive in the port soon.
Guests continued to send congratulations to Fang Bai and his parents. This housewarming ceremony also demonstrated the importance Xinghai Group attaches to its employees and partners, and also demonstrated the group's strength and influence.
Overall, the successful holding of the housewarming ceremony painted a picture full of hope and passion for the future development of Xinghai Group.
the next day,
The group has resumed production and has notified its friends about the relocation of the factory.
A small number of local employees resigned due to the relocation of the factory and their work being far away from home, which did not affect the company's overall operations.
Fang Bai's Xinghai Group was promoted by the students in Class 3 of Mechanical Engineering. The school quickly learned about some things about Xinghai Group, such as tens of billions of investments, skyscrapers, thousands of acres of factories, an international diversified enterprise, and employees can buy low-cost apartment buildings. .
College students are unwilling to work in companies because, in the final analysis, it is a matter of remuneration and stability.
In October this year, Xinghai Group will go to various prestigious schools for recruitment promotion to add fresh blood to the company.
Another day later, celebrity Li Jie came to Xinghai Group and met Fang Bai.
Fang Bai entertained him, and Li Jie asked for a photo.
After a brief meeting, Fang Bai paid the balance of the advertising endorsement, notified the entrusted director, and started filming a promotional video.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was mid-June, and the weather in Shanghai started to get hotter.
The company's warehouse has stocked more than 800,000 VCD machines. Good news came from cooperative partners and engineers stationed in the factory. The servo motors are in stable mass production and they brought back a batch of products. After Fang Bai personally inspected and accepted them, he felt that they were pretty good and met the design. requested, agreed to in-depth cooperation, and stopped importing servo motors from abroad.
There are some minor problems with the mass production of laser heads, and they still rely on imports from island countries.
The company also has hundreds of thousands of decoding chips stored in the company, and part of the money earned by the machinery company is invested in the VCD layout.
On June 20, the VCD promotional video was ready. After watching it, Fang Bai found some problems that needed to be modified.
On June 21, Fang Bai visited the laser head manufacturer and found some problems in mass production. He requested that rectification be completed within ten days and orders would be allocated based on the conditions of the two manufacturers.
Fang Bai personally came to the scene to put pressure and personally help solve the problem. The friends and businessmen took it very seriously and worked overtime. The two companies finally solved the mass production problem on June 28.
After Fang Bai learned about it, he asked to see the actual batch of products.
A few days later, two friendly businessmen sent samples. After reading them, Fang Bai thought they were acceptable and agreed to place a large order.
In early July, schools in Shanghai began their summer vacation.
Fang Bai's number of connections has also reached 310, and he is not far from being upgraded.
The company started preparing for the Shanghai International Industrial Exhibition.
At the same time, the VCD machine was prepared for publicity and launch.
On the morning of July 10, Fang Bai held a sales mobilization meeting.
The participants were all mid-level and senior management, workshop supervisors and sales staff of the technology company. There were dozens of people in total. The meeting was held in a large conference room in the complex building.
Fang Bai was wearing casual clothes and sitting at the main seat. Several middle and senior managers of the company and workshop supervisors gathered around the rectangular table and took their seats.
The time happened to be stuck at ten o'clock in the morning. Fang Bai took a sip of tea and said solemnly:
“We started development in August and September last year, started small batch production at the end of November, and started mass production at the beginning of this year. Our company has stocked more than one million units of equipment in the warehouse, and not a single one has been sold.
It’s not that I don’t want to sell, it’s that I haven’t had the time to list it.
Mr. Li anxiously asked me many times when it would be listed on the market. The plan I started to make was by the end of the year.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and the market was changing rapidly. I decided to start publicity tomorrow. I have already invested tens of millions of yuan in advertising on YTV, and spent millions of yuan to invite celebrities to shoot promotional videos... The company has invested huge amounts. investment.
In fact, I am also anxious.
If the sale fails, it will have a huge impact on the group.
However, I am very confident in our VCD machine.
I was even more worried that after the product became popular, the core components would be choked by international importers. Therefore, I went abroad to solve this big problem and entrusted domestic friends to manufacture laser heads and servo motors.
It can be said that we have no worries and it is time to go public.
Thank you all for your hard work along the way.
Next, it depends on market feedback.
Of course, we can’t completely count on God to provide us with food. After the product starts to be promoted, everyone must do their job well, especially the product consultation service of the sales department. Every consultation call is an order. I don’t want to see service. The phenomenon of bad attitude. "
Fang Bai slowly said that everyone had devoted their efforts to this project and the pressure was huge.
Like the company's general manager Li Xiaoyu, vice president of sales and vice president of technology, if sales are not good, their positions will not last long, and they will have to change jobs.
Next, Fang Bai asked again about the sales channels that had been laid out early. Don't just communicate on the phone, but send people to the site to actively communicate. When the product starts to be promoted, actively explain it to the terminal dealers and do a good job in sales.
The launch was promoted simultaneously in China, Hong Kong, the Gulf Province and Southeast Asian countries, and the vice president of sales was under great pressure.
The company invested huge amounts of money and it was completely an investment gamble.
If they lose, the boss will suffer a big loss, and they may just get out.
The sales pep meeting lasted for more than an hour, and everyone in the meeting was under great pressure.
Now, let’s look at tomorrow’s promotional advertisement and see what the market feedback is.
The price of VCD machines is not low! (End of chapter)
