The skin of the few people following Du Shaojie looked rougher and darker, but no one complained of being tired.
After all, the boss is just like them. After changing his clothes, he looks like an old farmer.
After leaving the county town, they planned to continue heading west, but the specific stopping place would require Du Shaojie to decide on the spot.
"We're not going anywhere. Let's go back to Chang'an and then directly return to Yangcheng."
Du Shaojie shook his head and ended his inspection.
After he returns, he needs to have a detailed discussion with Yu Jianxin and others to see if a raw material supply base can be built here.
A week later.
Du Shaojie returned to Yangcheng. He rested well at home for a few days. He was quite tired after this trip and it took him a lot of effort to recover.
Liu Zijian and Sun Zhenguo came to attend the trade fair. He had nothing to do, so he went to the trade fair with them.
The company's pager and intercom products have won many overseas orders. Although pagers are now declining in the domestic market, there is still room for export.
The production and sales of walkie-talkies are booming, and they have achieved remarkable results in both the domestic and overseas markets.
The listed company has emerged from the predicament of declining performance, and as major shareholders such as Du Shaojie have increased their holdings in the company, the stock price has also risen significantly.
But the company's mobile phone business is not so smooth. Every little progress requires thousands of times more effort.
"Mr. Du, in the mobile phone market, imported products are still relatively strong, but domestic mobile phones have become stronger and their market share is gradually increasing."
When Sun Zhenguo saw Du Shaojie stopping in front of the company's mobile phone booth to take a look, he temporarily acted as a commentator.
Compared with previous years, there are now some well-known domestic mobile phone brands, such as Fighter Among Mobile Phones and products from [Huanyu Communications].
Relatively speaking, Huanyu Communications' mobile phones are not the strongest.
The main reason is that most domestic mobile phones do not have any core technology, are easy to assemble, and make a lot of money, which can give full play to the advantage of low cost.
Companies like Huanyu Communications have been conducting independent research and development, which has higher costs, and will naturally be suppressed by some domestic leading products.
For example, due to the difference in profitability, [Huanyu Communications] simply cannot spend money on advertising like the fighter jets in the mobile phone industry.
However, the quality of Huanyu Communications' mobile phones is good, its after-sales service is also good, and its reputation is considered the best among domestic mobile phones.
According to market sales ranking, Huanyu Communications' mobile phone products ranked third last quarter.
"Thank you both for your hard work. The company has great prospects for future development."
Du Shaojie nodded frequently, feeling very satisfied with the current achievements of [Huanyu Communications].
In fact, he has high expectations for the company. In the era of feature phones, it was only necessary to lay a solid foundation, and he is eyeing the era of smart phones.
If you start accumulating technology now, you will definitely get excess returns in the future.
Afterwards, he visited other vendors' booths and left with Liu Zijian. Sun Zhenguo stayed behind and was fully responsible for the exhibition.
"Mr. Liu, let's find a place to eat something."
It was almost noon when we left the venue.
Du Shaojie and Liu Zijian went to the Seafood Restaurant together and chatted while eating.
"Mr. Du, Mr. Sun and I have discussed that we are planning to take advantage of the current momentum to start a new round of financing. Then we can put the mobile phone assets into the listed company. What do you think?"
When the company's stock price was low before, major shareholders such as Du Shaojie, Sun Zhenguo and Liu Zijian took action to increase their holdings of the company's stock.
This behavior is very rare in the mainland's securities market, and is also rare in Hong Kong's securities market.
But there is a reward for every effort. The company's improved performance and the increased holdings by major shareholders have caused the company's stock to rise by 230% within a year.
The benefits of issuing additional shares at this time are self-evident.
"I agree with your idea. So, please give me a plan as soon as possible. I'll take a look and if there's no problem, we'll implement it."
Du Shaojie also felt that the time was right. Initially, he did not include the mobile phone business in the listed company because he was worried that it would lag behind.
Now that the mobile phone business has been established and is at least profitable, listing it in a listed company is the best option.
In the future, Huanyu Communications will increase its investment in research and development, so it would be good to share the pressure.
Liu Zijian was very happy to get Du Shaojie's support. After the trade fair, he and Sun Zhenguo returned to the company and worked overtime to complete the refinancing plan.
The plan was approved by Du Shaojie, and Liu Zijian successfully completed the additional issuance with the help of Dingxin International.
This time, there is no need for friends to pay for support. The market enthusiasm is very high, with oversubscription nearly three times, and the underwriters are very happy.
After all, if the additional shares are undersubscribed, they will have to underwrite the remaining shares.
A large amount of cash arrived, and according to the plan, the listed company acquired the mobile phone assets and R&D institutions of the largest shareholder.
At this point, [Huanyu Communications] completed its overall listing, and its parent company was changed to [Huanyu Holdings Co., Ltd.].
Time flies.
That morning, Du Shaojie received a call from Luo Xingye. "Mr. Du, our first phase of construction has been completed and will soon be put into trial operation."
Luo Xingye has been staying in Dongguan during this period and has not returned to Hong Kong for a long time.
He still bet his entire fortune this time, and he also owed the bank a large sum of money. If Du Shaojie and others had not invested at that time, the project would not have been implemented so smoothly.
He planned to hold a ceremony before production started, and he made this call to invite Du Shaojie to attend.
"You've done a great job, and you deserve encouragement! So, before the trial run, Mr. Pang and I will go over to take a look, just to celebrate."
The progress over there exceeded Du Shaojie's expectations, which shows that Luo Xingye put a lot of effort into it.
Besides, he, Pang Weidong and Xu Bo are all major shareholders of Hongtu Technology Co., Ltd. It would be unreasonable for them not to show up in such a big event.
So without waiting for the other party to speak, he took the initiative to say that he would go over there soon.
"Okay! Then I'll be waiting for you at the company."
Luo Xingye was very happy. His own strength was limited, and his biggest advantage was that he could get orders. In addition, he could handle all technical issues.
The company’s current technical director is a friend he met while studying abroad. Yu Mo also introduced him to a group of technical talents.
What he lacks is the ability to raise funds and a network of connections in the mainland.
It just so happens that Du Shaojie can perfectly solve these two problems and can form a good complement to him.
three days later.
Du Shaojie made an appointment with Pang Weidong and Xu Bo to go to Dongguan City together.
Today, Hongtu Technology is an unknown small company with no reputation at all in the mainland.
Therefore, not many people attended the ceremony held before the trial production.
The local government sent a deputy cadre, Yu Mo and a dozen bosses from the industry came to join in the fun, and then there was Du Shaojie and his group.
The foreign company that placed an order with Luo Xingye only sent a congratulatory message but did not send anyone at all.
Even so, Luo Xingye still felt that today was his highlight moment. It was not easy for him to get to this point. If he hadn't had the help of a noble person, everything in front of him would be hard to imagine.
After the brief ceremony, Luo Xingye took everyone to visit the production line, and then held a banquet at a well-known local hotel to thank the guests.
After the meal, Yu Mo and others said goodbye and left.
Yu Mo brought a group of people to show her support today, naturally out of Du Shaojie's consideration, otherwise she would not have the time to travel so far.
Luo Xingye expressed his gratitude again and again. When he first arrived in the mainland, he was quickly accepted by the industry circle after meeting Yu Mo.
Du Shaojie, Pang Weidong and Xu Bo did not leave. It was a rare trip for them, so they could stay here for a few days before going back.
night.
Luo Xingye had dinner with Du Shaojie, Pang Weidong and Xu Bo.
"Mr. Du, OEM is necessary in the initial stage. I will definitely create my own brand in the future. I have some ideas at the moment, but they are not mature yet."
After a few drinks, the group started talking more.
Luo Xingye talked about his own plans. Not to mention OEM production, he registered his own brand when the company was first established.
According to the plan, he plans to start with "graphics cards" and "sound cards", increase research and development efforts, and strive to gain market recognition as soon as possible.
"Boss Luo, you are very thoughtful and think three steps ahead!"
Du Shaojie was a little surprised, surprised at Luo Xingye's vision.
It is not possible to run a business without its own core technology. If you only engage in OEM production, it is equivalent to handing the fate of your business to others.
What should the company do if people stop placing orders one day?
Therefore, Luo Xingye had his own plan from the beginning, starting with OEM production to train his own staff. At the same time, he carried out independent research and development and strived to launch his own brand products as soon as possible.
"Mr. Du, Mr. Pang, Mr. Xu, I offer a toast to you all. If the company wants to develop smoothly, it cannot do without your support. I will never let you down."
Luo Xingye buried a foreshadowing in his words and kept a very humble attitude.
Du Shaojie and others understood immediately that according to the other party's development plan, continuous financial support was needed. Developing proprietary technology was very expensive and the company could not afford it with its current strength.
However, they don't think there is anything wrong with this.
"Boss Luo, you work hard, and we will support you silently behind the scenes."
Du Shaojie, Pang Weidong and Xu Bo looked at each other, and then expressed their opinions on behalf of several people.
Luo Xingye felt relieved now, and told a few interesting jokes in his joy.
After dinner, he invited Du Shaojie and others to go to a nightclub. The local entertainment industry is very developed, in a sense, it is better than that of the provincial capital.
Du Shaojie, Pang Weidong and Xu Bo can all let go when they are playing.
It's just that the three of them are not very interested in the young ladies in the nightclub. They are all people who cherish their reputation and will not do anything out of line in an unfamiliar place. (End of this chapter)
