Technological Supremacy Chapter 74: The night before the earthquake
Hong Tao came back from Qidong. He just helped the company acquire a chemical plant, and he planned to start production immediately after the chemical department completed the photoresist project.
It is Luo Jia's consistent style to plan ahead.
It shows that the reason why the project can be put into production immediately after the completion of research and development is that Luo Jia has completed the acquisition of all lines as early as the end of June and the beginning of July, completed the long-term planning, let the construction party enter the site, and started the reconstruction and expansion of the factory .
That's why Star Display can quickly release productivity in such a short period of time, and deliver an astonishing amount of upstream raw materials to major partners.
The same is true this time. Although the photoresist project has just started, Hong Tao's Ministry of Commerce has already completed the factory merger.
"It cost 220 million." Hong Tao ran to the refrigerator in Luo Jia's office, took out a bottle of Red Bull with eight times taurine, opened it and drank it.
"The price is not expensive. After all, the companies we acquired are all poorly managed in the industry, and are even on the verge of bankruptcy." Hong Tao said with a mop of his mouth.
Luo Jia nodded slightly. The essence of industrial competition is technology and market.
With a population of more than one billion, my country is the largest single market in the world, but it is still a little bit behind in terms of technology. Enterprises with low technology content often appear powerless in the face of fierce global competition. Difficult companies are the targets of Luo Jia's acquisitions.
It is not difficult to acquire a factory, but it is difficult to manage and transform it.
Luo Jia showed Hong Tao the list he had prepared earlier, which included the factory manager, assistants, finance, and the factory's middle-level leaders.
The list was screened from a secret database, all of them were experienced chemical industry practitioners, and there was absolutely no problem with their character, so they were trustworthy.
Although it seems unethical to rely on the two killer tools of search engines and mobile assistants to secretly collect personal information, Luo Jia really has no choice.
The company's development is too fast. If the talent pool can't keep up, there will be big problems.
Besides, compared with the great dream of the stars and the sea, sometimes Luo Jia has to make some trade-offs.
"The human resources department has already talked with these people, and they will then formally sign the contract. In addition, the plan for the expansion of the factory has been determined by the engineering department. The construction party is Sinochem Construction. The equipment is being shipped and transported."
"The next thing you have to do is to talk about raw materials. The production of photoresist requires a lot of resin raw materials. There are some good manufacturers in our country in this regard. If you work hard, go for a run." Luo Jia said with a smile, "The company I will not forget anyone's credit, and when the bonus is paid at the end of the year, you can buy a house in the capital."
"I won't buy it." Hong Tao waved his hand.
"Why? Didn't you keep talking about marrying the neighbor's little sister? If you can afford a house in the capital, the girl will agree to marry you." Luo Jia asked puzzled.
"It's already been divided." Hong Tao frowned, "I asked her to come to Shanghai, but she refused to come. Originally, I did plan to finish my Ph. , I want to do something with you, if the girl doesn’t come and get it, go with whoever you like.”
Luo Jia can't control the emotional matters, he is still single, so he can only let Hong Tao do it.
...
October.
As the weather turned colder, all Star Technology settled in Baoshan Base.
At the same time, the Star Research Institute and the Star Laboratory were officially listed, with all the world's top experimental facilities and equipment, a huge 24-hour company canteen, and a well-decorated dormitory that can accommodate 1,500 people .
Luo Jia did not intend to increase the number of dormitory buildings, but joined forces with Greentown Real Estate to build a large-scale real estate directly outside the base.
The first phase of the project consists of twelve buildings, 30 floors high, and six households on each floor. After completion, it can provide 2,160 well-decorated residences.
After all, many colleagues in the company have brought their families back from abroad.
And those young people who are not yet married will always start a family in the future, Luo Jia cannot ignore these issues.
Being single is a big problem.
Whenever Luo Jia thought of this, she felt melancholy.
As a company composed of pure steel straight men, Xingchen Technology has brought the inherent aggressiveness of male hormones to the extreme, especially able to endure hardships and fight.
However, the yin and yang are completely out of balance. A man who was not so upright at first will become more and more upright as the environment changes after he joins the company.
Looking around, there are countless plaid shirts in the company, and everyone is carrying a black computer bag.
If things go on like this, what can we do?
So far, Luo Jia has not found the answer, so he can only think of a solution slowly.
Baoshan is an old industrial base in Shanghai. The industry is well-developed and the high-tech industry is scarce.
They have always wanted to increase the technological content in the area, and the large-scale presence of Star Technology has made the local area very excited.
Although the land used for the construction of the real estate has been auctioned, the price is significantly lower, and there are obviously some tricks in it.
With the local **** all the way, the company's various projects are progressing smoothly.
The hardware corps is also helping its partners. After completing the technical improvement of the production line, they have gradually withdrawn to the headquarters from all over the country.
This time, the expatriate team of Xingchen Technology received highly unanimous praise from the leaders of all parties. They said that the team of Xingchen Technology is especially able to endure hardships and fight, and is a torrent of steel in the technology world.
Colleagues in the circle even called Xingchen Technology the steel tough guys of the technology circle.
There are also some companies that have started to imitate Luo Jia and form their own troops of pure men.
All of a sudden, Internet public opinion was in a mess, and feminists jumped out ~IndoMTL.com~ to accuse the technology circle of sexism.
It's a pity that the clamor of feminists can't attract any attention in the technology circle, because everyone knows that after two full months of brewing and preparation, a terrible October storm is about to begin up.
Different from the previous confrontations between the four mobile phone giants and the industry hegemony, this time there will be a huge army participating in the battle, involving tens of thousands of companies from the upstream and downstream of the entire display industry.
As the time drew near, the media became more and more restless. Major forums and websites, as well as technology self-media, frantically released all kinds of gossip, which greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of audiences across the country and even around the world.
Unknowingly, watching press conferences regularly has become a trend in China.
In the past, it was a family watching the Spring Festival Gala, but now it is a family watching the press conference.
Even like Luo Jia's parents, old people who do not understand technology themselves will talk enthusiastically after dinner.
On October 15th, the announcement was officially released, igniting the entire world in an instant.
People were surprised to find that in addition to the top four mobile phone giants and the top eight TV companies, there are many not-so-well-known companies that are also on the list of conference organizers. The lineup is truly unprecedented.
Moreover, the length of this press conference broke all previous records.
From two o'clock in the afternoon, it will be open until seven o'clock in the evening, a full five hours!
"Fuck me, five hours? How many new products are they going to release?"
"I know TCL and Hisense, but I don't know many companies here. What do they make?"
"You must watch it, you must watch it! With so many companies developing a press conference, something big will happen."
