The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

The next day, Lin Zhiyuan, feeling refreshed, drove Yang Zhilan's Land Cruiser to the large-scale working committee first, took two packs of Marlboros and a few bags of chocolate, and distributed them to each office.

When you go to the United States, you have to bring some gifts for your colleagues, right?

After chatting with these people about the United States for a while, Lin Zhiyuan saw that it was almost time and went to Li Zhenshan's office to report on his work.

Li Zhenshan didn't say much. After all, Lin Zhiyuan's current job was to serve the Ministry of Information Industry.

After a few words of encouragement, Li Zhenshan reminded Lin Zhiyuan not to forget the trip to southern Jiangxi in March.

"Brother, don't worry. Don't forget. I'm working overtime to catch up with the deadline so as not to delay Gannan's work, right?"

After coming out of Li Zhenshan's office, Lin Zhiyuan called Minister Wu and said that he wanted to report on his work.

"Zhiyuan, come here. I said, my office door is always open to you." After hanging up the phone, Minister Wu rubbed his temples with his hands, his face full of fatigue.

During the nearly one month that Lin Zhiyuan was in the United States, the Ministry of Information Industry had been very busy.

The newly established joint-stock company Dongtian Electronics is undergoing integration and restructuring. The total number of cadres and employees of the eight units exceeds 1,800. The newly established company certainly does not need so many people. Who will be promoted and who will be demoted is really a headache. In addition, the eight units have their own factory areas. Which one to keep and which piece of land to sell, these issues have become a mess in the ministry.

Minister Wu took a sip of tea. It was just right that Lin Zhiyuan would be here later, so he could ask for his opinion.

Ge Gang also encountered a similar problem in the early 1990s. Lin Zhiyuan might be able to give himself a more appropriate solution.

Forty minutes later, Lin Zhiyuan walked into the gate of the Ministry of Information Industry.

"Minister Wu, let me report to you what I gained from this trip to the United States..."

"Zhiyuan, please take a seat and talk slowly. There's no rush." ​​Minister Wu asked Lin Zhiyuan to sit on the sofa.

Lin Zhiyuan spent more than ten minutes giving a complete report on the results of this trip to the United States, and Minister Wu nodded frequently.

"Zhiyuan, only you can achieve such fruitful results in such a short time. No one else can do it." Minister Wu first praised Lin Zhiyuan, and then began to talk about his own troubles.

Lin Zhiyuan listened quietly.

The predicament faced by electronics companies at this time is indeed somewhat similar to that of Gegang in the early 1990s. Both companies were unable to make ends meet due to poor management.

However, Yanjing's electronic companies had a very obvious advantage over Gegang at that time, which was land.

The land in Yanjing is much more valuable than that in Ge'an. Let's just talk about Dongtian Electronics. If they sell the land in Jiuxianqiao, the money from the sale of the land can not only buy a good industrial land in the suburbs of Yanjing and build a modern factory, but the remaining money will also be enough for the entire factory staff to spend for several years.

After Minister Wu finished speaking, Lin Zhiyuan expressed a few opinions very carefully. He always kept his status in mind and would never make random comments.

"Minister Wu, let me talk about the land issue first. You just asked me which of the eight units' plots of land should be sold. My opinion is to sell them all, leaving nothing behind. But we can't sell them all at once, because the land in Yanjing will become more and more valuable. The longer we wait, the more valuable it will be. The money from selling the land is more than enough to build a modern electronic industrial park in the suburbs."

Minister Wu's eyes lit up. He had never thought of the angle Lin Zhiyuan mentioned before.

Yes, why should I worry about which piece of land to keep? I can move all the land to the suburbs. If these lands are sold year by year, wouldn’t the biggest problem plaguing the department, the funding issue, be solved?

"Zhiyuan, you are indeed a wise man. With just a simple move, my problem was solved. Can you tell me about the personnel issue and give me some advice?"

Faced with this problem, Lin Zhiyuan was much more cautious and only briefly talked about the solutions that Gegang had used to deal with this problem before, such as setting up a life cooperation company and arranging some non-production auxiliary positions within the Gegang factory to laid-off workers as much as possible.

"Minister Wu, if nothing unexpected happens, the various parts of the Music Garden will arrive one after another next month. In March, the assembly of the Music Garden will officially begin. I think we should take this opportunity to select the skilled workers from the eight units. These people will be the core force of Dongtian Electronics Co., Ltd. in the future. Let's first determine which ones to keep, and then study the issue of other personnel."

As an outsider, Lin Zhiyuan was only concerned about not affecting the normal progress of the Music Garden project due to integration and restructuring.

Although Lin Zhiyuan did not give any constructive suggestions, Minister Wu agreed that the top priority of the work now is to ensure that the Music Garden project makes money.

You have to know that Lin Zhiyuan and Yuan Fei spent a lot of money in the United States and Europe, spending more than 10 million in less than a month. Many leading cadres in the ministry were very dissatisfied and said that they were prodigals. Minister Wu supported this project under tremendous pressure.

To some extent, he has been tied to Music Garden and has no choice but to give it his full support.

Fortunately, after Lin Zhiyuan and Minister Wu finished their work reports, good news came one after another.

First, the follow-up fund of 10 million from Gegang Investment Company arrived quickly. The money in the account was bulging again, which once again inspired the confidence of the cadres and employees of Dongtian Electronics.

The second good news is that the Di factory has developed a rechargeable lithium battery suitable for the Music Garden player at the fastest speed, and has kept the cost very low. Each battery only costs $1.50, which is half the price of foreign products.

The third good news is that Yuan Fei really found a Taiwanese company called Jie Guan in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. This company has been producing OEM headphones for big European and American companies for many years.

As soon as Yuan Fei contacted the person in charge of the other company, the other party showed great enthusiasm and personally invited Yuan Fei to visit the factory. After Yuan Fei tried several headphones, he found that the quality of Jie Guan's headphones was really good and the price-performance ratio was super high. The purchase price of headphones of the same quality abroad was twenty US dollars, while Jie Guan's quotation was twelve US dollars.

Moreover, the person in charge of the other party also said that if the quantity purchased by Music Garden is large enough, the cost can be further reduced.

Yuan Fei brought more surprises to Lin Zhiyuan. When Yuan Fei and Jie Guan reached a preliminary purchase intention, Jie Guan's person in charge knew that Yuan Fei also wanted to purchase shells and LCD screens, and enthusiastically introduced him to another curved enterprise, Youlian Optoelectronics, which is also located in the Shenzhen Electronics Park.

Youlian Optoelectronics is a long-established display manufacturer in Taiwan. They recently built this factory in Shenzhen, which just started operations three months ago and is now in urgent need of orders.

Yuan Fei rushed to Youlian Optoelectronics without stopping, visited their production line and inspected their products.

Youlian Optoelectronics also manufactures for many well-known display manufacturers in the world. The quality of its thin-film transistor liquid crystal displays is comparable to that of major European and American brands, and the price is much lower.

Wanwan, the boss of Shenzhen Stock Exchange, introduced Yuan Fei to a company called Chengke Technology. This company produces magnesium alloy die-castings, and produces components and casings for high-end laptops, photographic cameras, and communication disk drives. It is a strong manufacturer with world-class quality and mass production scale.

Yuan Fei looked at their products and was very satisfied. He took out the outer shell of the Music Garden. The person in charge of Chengke Technology said at the time that they could produce an outer shell that met the requirements of the Music Garden.
