Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 589: Xmi wants to cooperate?
"This meeting is for one thing only, to adjust the research and development projects of the company's research and development department."

"After the establishment of Zhirui Communication, we established a comprehensive R&D system with artificial intelligence as the core, including Chuangzhi Technology, which is mainly responsible for the artificial intelligence software ecosystem, Shengtang Semiconductor, which is responsible for chip R&D, Taiwei Semiconductor, which is responsible for chip production equipment, and Zhirui Communication, which is responsible for communication technology."

“Ideal technology for the development of AI end products.”

“And other research institutes.”

"The system has been established. The next step is to improve R&D efficiency through reasonable management and planning. Ideal Technology Headquarters is mainly responsible for product development and design, technical integration, and coordinating the R&D work of all R&D teams. The main tasks of other companies are for the Ideal Technology R&D Department to make a specific plan this month and implement adjustments next month."

At the beginning of the meeting, Zhou Jing spoke straight to the point, neither too fast nor too slow, making it easy for others to take notes.

After explaining the purpose of the meeting, Zhou Jing asked other executives to express their opinions.

"On behalf of the R&D department, I will plan the R&D tasks of each company as soon as possible according to Mr. Zhou's instructions. In addition, I propose to set up a joint working office, which will be composed of representatives from the R&D departments of several companies and representatives from the production and marketing departments of Ideal Technology. This will facilitate R&D communication and keep abreast of product functions and requirements at all times."

Zhang Yonghua, director of Ideal Technology's R&D department, spoke first.

"Sure, the Ideal Technology R&D Department will be responsible for setting up a joint working office."

Zhou Jing agreed that allowing R&D personnel to communicate directly with those responsible for product sales would help optimize product technology and functions.

No one else had any objections. Next, Ideal Technology's executive director and marketing manager Fang Ming, director and production manager Xu Jun, and Zhang Ming, who was in charge of the supply chain, all expressed their ideas. Finally, Vice Chairman Bai Xiyao gave a summary.

Because Zhou Jing pursues a simplified and efficient management model, and Zhou Jing sets an example and is always resolute and decisive, the company's executives dare not procrastinate, and the ideas they put forward are all substantive. The company's senior management actively solves practical problems, and Zhou Jing does not need to worry about the people below. Capable executives will not have lazy subordinates.

The meeting ended in less than half an hour. Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao went to the finance office to handle the R&D funds invested by Ideal Technology in Zhirui Communications and the funds for the newly established R&D projects at Chuangzhi Technology headquarters. The R&D funds for several companies were all provided by Ideal Technology, under the model of Ideal Technology's entrustment and joint R&D.

"came back?"

In the Finance Office, Liu Hanyu looked up at Zhou Jing and said softly.

"Well, is the company dormitory heated?"

Zhou Jing nodded and looked at the girl.

"Yes."

Liu Hanyu tied her hair up and put her hands on the keyboard, typing quickly.

Ideal Technology’s heating is provided by the company’s own boiler, and heating will begin on November 10th. The normal heating time for Tangdu Community is November 15th.

Bai Xiyao stood beside Zhou Jing and kicked the heel of Zhou Jing's shoe.

If Bai's best friend hadn't been staring at him, Zhou Jing might have been unable to resist continuing to chat with Liu Hanyu. At this time, Liu Hanyu was wearing a beige slim-fit sweater on top, black tights on the bottom, and a black pleated skirt with a lace pattern on the edge of the hem. To be more precise, there was a layer of lace inside the hem of the skirt.

Lace and black stockings have a magical appeal to Zhou Jing. When a girl wears black stockings and a short lace skirt at the same time, the appeal to Zhou Jing is undoubtedly doubled.

"The company has plenty of cash now. Should we pay off the interest-bearing debt?"

Liu Hanyu experienced what it means to count money until his hands are tired. The company's net profit of 70 to 80 billion yuan in a month is unimaginable.

"No need." Zhou Jing looked at Bai's girlfriend and said, "Pay back the money to the supplier first."

"clear."

Bai Xiyao will never delay payments to suppliers for more than three months, and payments to foreign suppliers are always settled in the same month.

"Okay, anything else?"

Liu Hanyu printed the report and handed it to Zhou Jing.

"No, gone."

Zhou Jing took the report and flipped through it.

"Goodbye."

Liu Hanyu nodded and watched the two leave the office.

"I didn't understand what a connection meant before, but now I understand. You and Liu Hanyu are connected by a connection."

Back in the office, Bai Xiyao sat down at her desk and said.

Bai Xiyao thought she didn't understand love between men and women, but she could see that something was wrong between Zhou Jing and Liu Hanyu. When they met, their eyes were so sticky that they seemed to be pulled into threads.

"She is my ex-girlfriend after all. I kissed her on the mouth when we were in elementary school, although it was accidental."

Zhou Jing did not quibble and dared to take responsibility for his actions.

Bai Xiyao said, "Oh my god, your story goes back a long time. How did you get close?"

"We were playing on a corn pile in my grandmother's village and fell into each other's arms."

Zhou Jing was younger when he held Liu Hanyu's hand. When he was a child, he often held hands with other children when playing skipping rope and throwing handkerchiefs in his grandmother's village. Although they were childhood sweethearts at that time, Zhou Jing knew that he was more willing to hold Liu Hanyu's hand.

"It seems that the plot in TV dramas where the male and female protagonists must kiss after falling down is not completely cliché."

Bai Xiyao was speechless. It turned out that in real life, boys would really kiss each other when they fell down together. Zhou Jing and Liu Hanyu could be considered childhood sweethearts, but Zhou Jing was too outstanding. If Zhou Jing was mediocre, or did not go to the Experimental Middle School for internship, he would be Liu Hanyu's choice, and Chen Jiaqian would definitely not be able to compete with Liu Hanyu.

“There’s no use reading these books.”

Zhou Jing flipped through the bookcase that Bai's best friend was leaning against, and found books like "Masters of Business Administration", "Marketing" and so on.

"I also think it's useless. The best way to manage a company is to have no routine, or no fixed routine. Human nature is very diverse."

Bai Xiyao had read those books and found them to be of little value.

"Everyone's path is unique. You have to build your own path if you want to take it."

Zhou Jing walked to the window to look at the company's expansion base. After more than half a year of full-speed construction, all the buildings at the expansion site have been topped off. After the weather warms up after the New Year, decoration will begin. If nothing unexpected happens, the new factory can be fully put into use in the third quarter of next year. This is the construction speed in China. As long as the project funds are in place, the efficiency is far higher than that of foreign countries.

"I'll follow you. What do you want to eat tonight?"

The best choice Bai Xiyao has made in her life is to start a business with her male best friend. Following a successful person is also a very rare opportunity.

Zhou Jing thought for a moment and said, "Hot pot."

"Then let's call Liu Hanyu. Do you want to bring Liu Hanyu?" It's inevitable that people will feel ambiguous when a man and a woman eat hot pot alone. If someone takes a picture and posts it online, they will be mistaken for a couple. If you bring other girls along, people will at most say that Zhou Jing is surrounded by many beautiful women.

"I do not mind."

As Chen Jiaqian's return date draws closer, Zhou Jing becomes somewhat numb, and his sense of crisis grows weaker as he faces an unsolvable situation.

Bai Xiyao took out her cell phone and sent a message to Liu Hanyu. After resting in the office for a while, Zhou Jing went to the production department.

Ideal Technology's current products on sale include traditional mobile phones, smart phones, Bluetooth speakers, smart speakers, smart desk lamps, power banks, etc. The company's own production line mainly produces the Ideal 1 smart phone, and other products are manufactured by other electronics factories.

After Double Eleven, Ideal Technology plans to increase the production capacity of smartphones. After the news was released, some electronics factories took the initiative to contact and wanted to cooperate. Bai Xiyao chose Guangyi Technology in Shenzhen. Ideal Technology gave Guangyi Technology the news on Monday morning. Guangyi Technology quickly sent people to Tangdu to sign the contract. Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao inspected the production workshop. When the people from Guangyi Technology arrived at Ideal Technology, Bai Xiyao asked the receptionist to take the other party to the meeting room.

Bai Xiyao hung up the phone and said with a smile: "This company manufactured Lianxiang smartphones in the first half of the year. It should be because Lianxiang smartphones are not selling well that they have no orders."

Zhou Jing said: "It seems that Lianxiang mobile phones will be the first to be eliminated."

Bai Xiyao said: "Lianxiang is also a failure. Computers occupy such a large market share. If they can develop smart phones, they will be able to move to a higher level. If smart phones are eliminated, then Lianxiang will have no chance to move to a higher level."

"Lianxiang was never a company that relied on R&D. It was able to grow big because it benefited from the times."

"Yes, once mobile phone manufacturers start making computers, Lianxiang's computer business will also be hit."

"."

"I didn't plan my trip in advance. I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao arrived at the reception room. The people from Guangyi Technology recognized Zhou Jing and stood up and extended their hands without waiting for the receptionist to introduce them.

"No no."

Zhou Jing did not put on airs and shook hands with the other party in a timely manner.

"Fu Jinrong, the general manager of Guangyi Technology, Qian Bin, the assistant, Mr. Zhou, our chairman, and Mr. Bai, our executive vice chairman and general manager."

The receptionist from Ideal Technology’s Human Resources Department introduced.

"It's my pleasure. I hope Mr. Bai will support the cooperation between our two companies in the future."

Fu Jinrong was surprised that the girl in front of him, who was about 24 or 25 years old, was actually the executive vice chairman and general manager of Ideal Technology. She was very polite in her words and deeds. She must have some extraordinary qualities to be the vice chairman of a company like Ideal Technology.

"Mr. Fu, you are so polite. Please take a seat."

Bai Xiyao showed enthusiasm but did not accept Jin Rong's almost straightforward request for cooperation. Whether the cooperation can be long-term depends on the actual performance of Guangyi Technology. If it fails to meet the OEM requirements of Ideal Technology, nothing he says will be of any use.

The price for Guangyi Technology to manufacture Ideal smartphones was agreed upon over the phone. Ideal Technology can offer higher OEM prices to other brands, and the higher the OEM prices, the higher the requirements. If the trial production meets the standards, the company will first sign a contract for 1 Ideal 1s and million Imagine s, and then consider whether to renew the contract based on the sales of Ideal phones and Guangyi Technology's OEM quality.

The commission for outsourcing Ideal 1 is 1 yuan, and the commission for outsourcing iPhone 1 is 5 yuan. In the industry, the outsourcing price of Ideal is second only to that of iPhone .

1 Ideal 1s and million Imagine s, with a total amount of million, is a huge order for a company like Guangyi Technology whose main business is OEM. The company had never produced such a large amount of OEM smartphones in half a year before.

Knowing that Ideal mobile phones are selling well, Guangyi Technology attaches great importance to the cooperation with Ideal Technology, so it sent the general manager to Ideal Technology in person to sign the contract.

"Our chairman attaches great importance to the cooperation with Ideal and is confident that we can produce high-quality products. Last year, our company upgraded a full set of advanced production lines and conducted systematic and comprehensive training for employees. The yield rate of smartphones produced remains at a very high level in the industry, and the production process is not inferior to that of large factories."

After exchanging pleasantries, Fu Jinrong got down to business.

"We have evaluated the Lianxiang mobile phones you manufactured and have some understanding of your craftsmanship. This is why our company chose to cooperate with you. High quality is the first factor of our company. We look forward to long-term cooperation with Guangyi Technology."

Bai Xiyao didn't want to talk too much nonsense and went straight to the supplementary agreement.

The workmanship of Guangyi Technology is indeed good, and the small factory does not have the arrogance of large factories like Foxconn.

After the agreement was reached, the contract was signed without delay. The process parameters and design of the smartphone were strictly confidential. After signing the contract and confidentiality agreement, Bai Xiyao gave Guangyi Technology the process drawings and parameters of Ideal 1 and Imagine 1, which meant the start of the cooperation. By late November at the latest, the monthly production capacity of Ideal smartphones will reach two million units.

After the production capacity is adjusted, given the situation where Ideal smartphones are in short supply, the sales volume of Ideal smartphones this year can be predicted more than a month in advance. The Ideal smartphone will be launched on September 1st, and the sales volume can reach about 8 million units by the end of December.

The sales of 12 million smartphones in September and the fourth quarter of have surpassed the annual smartphone sales of all domestic mobile phone manufacturers except Huawei.

After signing all the agreements, Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao took Fu Jinrong and the assistant to visit the production workshop. Although it was called a visit, it was actually to let Fu Jinrong see with his own eyes that Ideal Technology’s quality requirements were not just talk.

"Thank you Mr. Zhou and Mr. Bai for your trust."

Fu Jinrong could not hide his excitement. The order for 2.5 million smartphones was the largest smartphone order Guangyi Technology had ever signed at one time, and also the most satisfying one.

With this cooperation as a foundation, if all goes well, Ideal Technology's strength will be enough to support Guangyi Technology. Small factories like theirs will face too much pressure to survive without a stable source of orders.

"The wind and sand in the north are relatively strong, and the climate is dry, so dust-free production is more demanding. Please understand, Mr. Fu."

Before visiting the production line, Zhou Jing took Fu Jinrong and his assistant to the locker room to put on dust-proof suits.

"I understand. This is the rigor that a company like us that makes electronic products should have."

Fu Jinrong is in his forties and is very humble in front of Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao, who are in their twenties. This is the business world, and whoever has the resources is the boss.

In the production workshop of Ideal Technology, the indoor temperature and humidity are precisely controlled. All people and all accessories must undergo dust removal before coming in. The floor, equipment and instruments in the production workshop are spotless. This came as a great shock to Fu Jinrong. Fu Jinrong said in his heart that he could not be perfunctory in the OEM of Ideal mobile phones.

After the tour, Zhou Jing asked the receptionist to take Fu Jinrong and the others to the hotel. There were two cars for receiving guests at the reception desk of Ideal Technology Co., Ltd., both of which were Audi A6L, and they were parked in the garage most of the time.

“I don’t know if we can reach full production capacity of 3 million units per month next year.”

Send Fu Jinrong away, Bai Xiyao said.

Zhou Jing said: "It will be no problem for the Changxiang series and Changxiang customized machines to sell 25 million units next year. We will collect market data statistics at the end of the fourth quarter and determine the production ratio for next year based on the statistics."

"it is good."

Bai Xiyao nodded and said.

It was time to get off work, but Zhou Jing did not return to the office. Bai Xiyao went to the office, closed the door, and went to the company dormitory to change clothes. Liu Hanyu also went to the company dormitory. Zhou Jing waited in the car and called Gu Jia by the way.

"Did you see the message I just sent you? Xmi Company proposed to cooperate with Chuangzhi Technology to develop mobile game business."

Gu Jia answered the phone and said.
