Our Rise Era

Chapter 249: The Starlight Will Not Let Down Those Who Travel (Part )
Millennium...

The market is booming.

That year, if there was any technological breakthrough, you would receive a steady stream of orders.

But after the millennium...

Especially after 2010, there are fewer and fewer cakes on the market...

More and more market share is being taken up by large companies.

Small companies can only barely compete for the remaining...

You often fight tooth and nail for the remaining market share, but you still can’t fill your stomach, and you should be thankful if you can just barely survive.

most of the time……

The gap in technology cannot be made up by hard work...

It requires market acceptance…

But the cost of market recognition is too high.

Quality, price, service, subsequent maintenance...

Oh shit!

Everything costs money!
[Lingchuan Intelligent Manufacturing] is a living example.

It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that the situation is very serious, but it's very reasonable to say that it's a pain in the ass.

evening.

"Mr. Zhang, we are willing to give you another 1.2 yuan if you use our new technology..."

Zheng Tong called Zhang Yang, and his voice was very sincere on the phone.

As a technical practitioner, he actually hates haggling over a few cents, but as a company boss, there is nothing he can do. Although 1 cent is small, if it is an order of tens of millions, it is also a considerable amount, at least it can support the payment of salaries.

"I heard that your company will soon be unable to pay salaries?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Yang did not answer the call, but said such a heartbreaking sentence.

"Mr. Zhang, in the current environment, many things are difficult. There are at least hundreds of companies like ours in the whole of China, and everyone is living a very tiring life... To be honest, if we don't get any decent orders this month, we will have to lay off employees to save our lives next month." Zheng Tong did not deny it, but there was a hint of bitterness in his words.

"I'm just downstairs from your company... Let's talk about the specifics in detail..."

“Okay…” Zheng Tong was a little shocked, but then he thought of something and his expression became serious.

He looked at the assistant and asked, "What do you think Mr. Zhang will do when he comes here this time?"

"Talk to us about in-depth cooperation?"

"If that's the case, he could have just sent Mr. Ding or Mr. Xu Yunlong to talk over here. Why would he come here in person..."

"Then you mean..."

Zheng Tong didn't say anything, but closed his eyes.

After a long while, he finally uttered one word: "He wants our company!"

When I said this...

His expression was somewhat complicated, yet somewhat relieved, as if a burden had been lifted, and he let out a long sigh.

....................................

"Mr. Zheng."

"Mr. Zhang, please take a seat. What is the reason for all this..."

The sunset glow in the sky covers the earth.

Zheng Tong glanced at the lawyer Shen Lang behind Zhang Yang. Although there was not much shock on his face, he felt a little lost in his heart.

Well, it feels empty and a little uncomfortable.

This day has finally come.

It seems to be earlier than expected.

"I understand that [Lingchuan Intelligent Manufacturing] has invested a lot of money in research and development in the past few years and has made some good technological breakthroughs. However, as the era of monopoly by giants becomes more and more obvious, [Lingchuan Intelligent Manufacturing] will have a harder and harder time in the future... To be honest with you, a price reduction of 1.2 yuan is still unacceptable to us... It means we will still lose money..."

"So..." Zheng Tong looked at Zhang Yang.

"Since we are going to lose money, a loss of tens of millions is not what I want. If we are going to lose, we have to lose hundreds of millions..." Zhang Yang looked at Zheng Tong and laughed, "I will pay for the 1.2 million RMB you invested in research and development... In addition, I will pay about 6 million to buy 51% of your [Lingchuan Intelligent Manufacturing] shares and incorporate it into the cooperation system of [Wheat Technology]."

"Mr. Zhang, I won't sell my soul..." Zheng Tong shook his head after seeing Zhang Yang's expression.

"I don't need you to sell your soul. The management system framework will not change. [Lingchuan Intelligent Manufacturing] will still be [Lingchuan Intelligent Manufacturing], and you will still be the legal representative of the company. You will be responsible for all strategic directions except for the major internal changes. We [Wheat Technology] will not interfere... This is the strategic contract we have drafted. Take a look at it. If there are no problems, we will sign it now..." Zhang Yang sat opposite Zheng Tong and handed him a contract.

When Zheng Tong heard this, he looked away: "I need time to think about it."

"I know, but time is running out for you and me right now... The direction of the 4G era is already very clear. In this upcoming new era, competition will become more and more brutal." Zhang Yang's face was firm and his eyes were solemn.

Zheng Tong nodded.

Why doesn't he understand these principles?

He turned his head and looked at the contract.

No matter from which angle you look at it, the conditions in the contract are very generous...

but……

Once you board Zhang Yang's ship, it means that everything that happens next is left to fate.

If you are in the [Android] cooperation system...

Zheng Tonghui signed the agreement without hesitation.

but……

Zhang Yang, who has left the Android system, is now a gambler. Just like he once went all in with his capital into the photovoltaic era, he has now gone all in into the field of "independent manufacturing".

Although he won that year, no one knew whether he would be so lucky this time.

after all……

That year, the huge country stood behind him.

And this time, it seems that he is the only one behind it...

……

"Once this agreement is signed, I will give you all the shares of the African market. In addition, in our photovoltaic system, photovoltaic glass, photovoltaic power station quotations... including the supply of screens for our many TV brands, all will be signed with you... I can't plan what our future will be like, but as long as this contract is signed, I can guarantee that you [Lingchuan Intelligent Manufacturing] can survive..."

When Zheng Tong was silent, Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes.

Zheng Tong was stunned.

Then he suddenly realized something.

That is, behind the publicity, there is not only the photovoltaic industry, but also many more brands that you don’t even notice…

Indistinctly, [Haisen TV], which sells fairly well in the field of home appliances going to the countryside, is also a brand invested by Zhang Yang...

In a trance, he suddenly realized that the series of brands behind Zhang Yang had complemented his own business.

……

Time passed by bit by bit.

Zheng Tong read the contract silently and in great detail.

After reading it, he asked his legal department to come over and check the contract again.

Zhang Yang is quite patient.

He has been sitting in his office chair, waiting...

After waiting from dusk till late at night, Zhang Yang finally felt a little tired. He slept in the lounge next door until the next morning under the arrangement of his assistant. After having breakfast...

Zhang Yang returned to the office again.

After a whole night...

After struggling for a whole night, Zheng Tong opened his red eyes and finally smiled.

"boss Zhang!"

"you say……"

"Next, I'll follow you." Zheng Tong handed the signed agreement to Zhang Yang in a very serious voice.

In addition, there are also [Lingchuan Intelligent Manufacturing]'s financial audit report, personnel audit report, personnel report, 2012 salary report, business accounts...

Zheng Tong has already prepared a series of audited accounts.

"Okay! Leave it to me!"

Zhang Yang had actually already investigated this company.

After handing the accounts over to Lawyer Shen Lang and asking the finance department to prepare the acquisition funds, Zhang Yang shook hands with Zheng Tong.

"boss Zhang……"

"you say……"

"Will you win this time?"

"meeting."

....................................

"got it?"

"got it."

"how much did you spend?"

"7.2 million, not including the cost of subsequent production materials..."

"Mr. Zhang, sometimes I really don't know what to say to you. [Wheat A] hasn't even been released yet, which is equivalent to losing several hundred million again. Once [Wheat A] fails, all our money will be wasted."

"..."

From the [MTK] adaptation of [R&D Department] to the [Xiaomi System] adaptation...

Ding Ziqiang couldn't help but feel a sense of gap.

But, more of it is speechlessness.

Zhang Yang spent 7.2 million yuan on a touch screen that was not particularly advanced and could only be said to be adequate. In addition to the funds he had invested previously...

It’s already over one billion!
At this moment, no matter how you sell [Wheat A], it is destined to not make a profit in the short term.

This is bound to be a losing deal.

but……

After seeing Zhang Yang's serious face, Ding Ziqiang didn't know what he was talking about.

"give it to me!"

"it is good!"

He only left this sentence.

Then he left Zhang Yang's office silently.

Not long after leaving, Zhang Yang saw Chen You.

Chen You is in charge of the camera of the low-end mobile phone [Xiaomi A]...

But at this moment, Chen You had a worried look on his face.

"A 500-megapixel AI beauty camera has to be paired with such a low-end phone..."

After seeing Ding Ziqiang, Chen You sighed: "What a waste... Mr. Ding, have you ever calculated how much profit we can make from selling a mobile phone?"

"I've calculated that Mr. Zhang can only make a profit if he sells 5000 million units, including the investment. Before, 1000 million units were enough... For each mobile phone, you can make 2.5 yuan from the camera, and my system department can make a little more, 5 yuan. The other material suppliers can make a total of about 30 yuan in hard work fees... After-sales service is completely at our expense. If Mr. Zhang is crazy and sells it for 399..."

"It's over!" Chen You was speechless when he heard this: "Selling it for nothing... When I was in Xiali before, it wasn't so bad... In the end, it won't really be sold for 399, right?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I'll do the adaptation first. The computing cost is none of my business..."

"..."

Chen You looked at Zhang Yang's office worriedly.

But in the end, he returned to his own R&D area.

It was just like there was a huge rock blocking my heart and I couldn’t breathe.

The cheapest knockoff phone on the market is 599...

Mr. Zhang's 399...

Totally crazy!
