Chapter 454 (Hospitalized) Electronics Factory Completed Acquisition
"How's the intensity?"
Gu Jia massaged Zhou Jing's temples for a while, then moved her hands to knead Zhou Jing's shoulders.
"just."
Zhou Jing lay between Gu Jia's legs. Gu Jia's hands were very soft and the massage force was neither light nor heavy. Zhou Jing felt a tingling sensation on his shoulders and soon he felt sleepy.
Wu Suqin prepared a midnight snack and brought it to Zhou Jing and Gu Jia's bedroom. Today's midnight snack was tofu pudding.
In order to take good care of her pregnant daughter-in-law, Wu Suqin specially learned how to make tofu pudding and some nutritious porridge. Now Wu Suqin knows no less than 30 kinds of midnight snacks and breakfasts. With more cooking skills, Wu Suqin feels very relaxed and no longer has to worry about not knowing what to cook for her daughter-in-law.
"Mom, go to bed early. We'll do the dishes after we finish eating."
Gu Jia said softly.
"It's too early to sleep, Jing, don't let Jiajia wash the dishes."
Wu Suqin said to her son.
"I know. I'll wash and you go and rest."
How could Zhou Jing let Gu Jia, who was pregnant, do the rough work?
Wu Suqin went to the kitchen to eat some tofu pudding, and then went back to the bedroom without doing anything else.
"Your mother's cooking skills are more comprehensive than mine. The tofu pudding she makes is tastier than the ones in restaurants." Gu Jia added a spoonful of sauce and half a spoonful of hot sauce to the tofu pudding, and suddenly said, "You haven't tried sweet tofu pudding, you can try it."
"I feel like I am not suited to sweet tofu pudding."
Zhou Jing had only eaten salty tofu pudding and sweet rice dumplings in his two lifetimes. He thought sweet tofu pudding would definitely not taste good, so he went to the kitchen to get some sugar to try it.
“I don’t know why southerners like sweet tofu pudding.”
Gu Jia had sweet tofu pudding once when she was in college, and her first impression was that it was hard to understand why people liked to eat sweet tofu pudding.
“Can I just add sugar?”
Zhou Jing found Bai Tangdao.
"Well, let's try it and see if you can handle it."
Gu Jia picked up the spoon from Zhou Jing's bowl, scooped a spoonful of tofu pudding, and asked Zhou Jing to sprinkle sugar on it.
Zhou Jing sprinkled some sugar on the tofu pudding in the spoon, and Gu Jia fed it to Zhou Jing. Looking at Zhou Jing's subtle changes in expression, she smiled and said, "How is it?"
"It's not as bad as I thought. Maybe people who like licking food are more accepting of it. Salty food tastes better."
Zhou Jing tasted the sweet tofu pudding carefully. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't delicious either.
"The differences in diet between the north and south are obvious. One of my college roommates loves sweet tofu pudding and salty rice dumplings."
Gu Jia took a bite of her tofu pudding and said.
“The eating habits we develop from childhood and long-term eating habits will affect our taste buds.”
Zhou Jing doesn't understand the sweet party but respects it.
After having supper, Zhou Jing took the dishes to the kitchen and washed them. He and Gu Jia went to brush their teeth. In the bathroom, Zhou Jing squeezed toothpaste for Gu Jia first. After brushing their teeth, they returned to the bedroom. Zhou Jing warmed the quilt for Gu Jia for a while and then they slept separately.
"Your feet are so warm, are mine cold?"
Gu Jia stretched one foot into Zhou Jing's bed and rubbed it on Zhou Jing's feet.
"Not ice."
Zhou Jing put one hand into Gu Jia's bed and touched her belly. Gu Jia looked at her phone and saw that it was not yet ten o'clock. She had nothing to do tomorrow, Sunday, so it was still early to go to bed. She got into Zhou Jing's bed.
"Is it warmer together?"
Zhou Jing gently hugged Gu Jia and said.
"When the weather is cold, the importance of a boyfriend becomes more apparent."
Gu Jia curled up in Zhou Jing's arms and said.
The next day, Zhou Jing slept until he woke up naturally, got up and went out for exercise, and got home just in time for breakfast. He stayed at home with Gu Jia all day Sunday.
Zhou Jing went to the company on Monday. He hadn't been to the company for more than a week. As soon as he got to work, Zhou Jing asked Wang Tao, Qin Zhengyu, Li Jianwei and Tang Yuan to gather for a meeting.
There are only a few days left in October. Due to the one-week holiday for National Day, the performance in October is naturally worse. However, it has exceeded expectations so far. This is all due to the efficiency improvement brought about by working overtime across the board.
"I was busy in Tangdu last week. I've read all the work reports. Thank you for the hard work of everyone in the company."
The backbones of the company are all here, Zhou Jing said.
"It's all what we should do."
Wang Tao spoke first.
"The electronics factory will complete the acquisition this month, upgrade the production line in November and December, and is expected to start production in January. Brother Qin will lead the R&D department to continue to optimize the products. The development of mobile phones must also be stepped up. The first generation of mobile phones will not be positioned high, but the basic experience cannot be bad, and the cost performance must be improved as much as possible."
Zhou Jing got back to the topic and after introducing the progress of the electronics factory, he asked Li Jianwei to report on the R&D work.
Li Jianwei brought the R&D department's work report. He opened it and began to report on the optimization results of the Bluetooth speakers and other electronic products, and the modification progress of the mobile phone system.
After Li Jianwei finished reporting on the work of the R&D department, Qin Zhengyu continued to report on the progress of the game studio. The current main task of the game studio is Summoning the King.
"There is no problem with King's Summon. According to the current progress, the development will be completed in May or June next year."
Qin Zhengyu said finally.
Zhou Jing nodded. He was not surprised by the progress of King's Summoning. The reason why the development of King's Summoning was very smooth was that Zhou Jing could solve all the difficulties encountered.
The project department is headed by Wang Tao, who mainly reports on the progress of the hospital information system. The information system project of a hospital costs more than 30 million yuan. Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. now has information system projects for three hospitals.
After listening to their work reports, Zhou Jing began to deal with the company's unimportant matters. After finishing, he went to the R&D department. What Zhou Jing is most concerned about now is the work of the R&D department. Whether the electronics factory can make money after the acquisition depends on the research results of the R&D department.
The acquisition of the electronics factory, as well as the renovation and upgrading of the production line, will require an investment of more than 200 million yuan. Zhou Jing can afford the losses for these two small goals. If Bai Xiyao fails, she will not only have to go back to the time before liberation, but will also be in debt. Of course, Zhou Jing will help Bai Xiyao earn back what she lost.
Zhou Jing spent the whole morning in the R&D department, modifying the system with the mobile phone project team. With Zhou Jing's participation, the team achieved twice the result with half the effort.
Zhou Jing did not go home for lunch. He had a box lunch at the company and held a staff meeting during the break. In the afternoon, Zhou Jing was in the game studio, developing games with the King's Summoning team.
Zhou Jing went home after get off work at five o'clock, had dinner with Gu Jia.
Soon in November, the acquisition of Tangdu's electronics factory was completed and renamed Ideal Technology Co., Ltd., officially becoming the third company under Zhou Jing's name, and also symbolizing the initial formation of Zhou Jing's business sector.
Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. is not part of Zhou Jing's business sector. Bowei Network is just a company that Zhou Jing established to accumulate entrepreneurial experience.
Zhou Jing's entrepreneurial sector probably includes software and manufacturing. Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. is based on software, and Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. is manufacturing. The two complement each other. Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. provides the soul for Ideal Technology Co., Ltd., and Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. provides the wings for Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd.
Because Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. is temporarily unable to make a profit, it will be a money-eating beast for at least four months, and at most half a year or even longer. It will need to invest over 200 million yuan to upgrade the production line. If Zhou Jing cannot get investment, he will be a little worried.
The bigger the business, the greater the cost. Ideal Technology Co., Ltd.'s initial R&D costs, operating costs, and production costs alone are estimated to add up to 15 million to 20 million yuan per month. It must ensure that Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. and Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. are profitable in order to maintain operations.
As soon as the electronics factory completed the acquisition of Bai Xiyao, it began to upgrade the production line and at the same time established a research and development department in Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. According to Zhou Jing's requirements, the members recruited by the R&D department were all experienced and top students. The recruitment work lasted until mid-November, and the R&D department officially entered work in December.
Before we knew it, the first snow of winter has arrived.
