Chapter 479 Electronics Factory Starts Production

With Wu Suqin and Gu's mother taking care of Gu Jia during her confinement, Zhou Jing devoted his attention to the company after the Lantern Festival.

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, Zhou Jing arrived at the company and started working immediately. It was the first time that Zhou Jing appeared in the company since the Spring Festival holiday. Some information from last year's December was piled up at Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. and needed to be processed.

Zhou Jing first quickly dealt with the documents from the previous year, glanced at the documents that needed signature and then signed them. It took him more than an hour to finish the pile of work. Zhou Jing took a sip of water and began to understand the current progress of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd.

The people who were supposed to be sent to the Tangdu branch have already gone to Tangdu to organize the work. The BJ headquarters currently has three major tasks. The project team is stepping up to complete the 300 to 400 million yuan project on hand, the R&D team continues to develop smartphones, and the game studio is developing Call of Duty. Each part is a focus. Zhou Jing understands whether the staffing is sufficient based on the project progress.

The smartphone is scheduled to be released in the third quarter, and the King's Summoner is scheduled to go live in September, which is already late March.

Recently Zhou Jing said at home that he was not in a hurry. In fact, it was a lie to say that time was not pressing. In the next six months, he had to complete a series of tasks including technical calibration, verification, production, testing, and market launch of the first generation of smartphones, as well as the development of King's Summoning 1.0 and 1.1 versions. The pressure was enormous and he had to race against time.

After checking the progress of each project team, Zhou Jing felt that he should talk to Wang Tao, who is currently in charge of the project team. The most important department of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. right now is the R&D department directly in charge of Li Jianwei, followed by the King Summoning Team directly in charge of Qin Zhengyu. Li Jianwei and Qin Zhengyu are both in charge of the company's core projects, while the project team in charge of Wang Tao, who is the first person in charge of the company besides Zhou Jing, only does external projects.

It is obvious that Wang Tao is not valued.

"Brother Wang, please take a seat."

Zhou Jing asked Wang Tao to meet him in the lounge alone.

"Mr. Zhou."

Wang Tao nodded and found a chair to sit down.

"Are the project team members nervous after Tang Du removed those people?"

Zhou Jing picked up the glass teapot and poured a cup for Wang Tao.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. There is no problem at the moment. However, in order to cope with the greatly increased demand for personnel in the third quarter, I reported to Director Tang and suggested that we start recruiting and training software and hardware technicians in advance."

Wang Tao took the teacup and put it aside and said.

"Okay, the project team must continue to follow up on talent training. Doing external projects is just a transitional stage for the company. When smartphones are launched, the project team will focus on self-developed software projects, including independent mobile phone systems. If the development goes smoothly, we will also develop PC systems and other advanced systems in the future."

"Software development is as important as hardware. In the future, we can save resources by cooperating with companies in the industry, but we can only rely on ourselves for software systems."

“So talent development of the project team is very important.”

Zhou Jing did not appease Wang Tao directly, but instead used a different approach, emphasizing the importance of the project team to show his respect for Wang Tao.

"Thank you Mr. Zhou for your trust. I will personally be responsible for recruiting project team members."

Wang Tao realized that the burden on his shoulders was heavy.

After comforting Wang Tao, Zhou Jing returned to the office to continue his work. Tang Yuan sorted out the recruitment report proposed by Wang Tao and sent it to the office. Zhou Jing did not look at it carefully and signed it directly to start the recruitment work as soon as possible.

The first quarter of 2012 is already halfway through. Zhou Jing checked the financial reports for the first two months and found that the net profit in January was nearly million. After the dating website Momo, developed by Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd., was launched in late December, it quickly attracted a large number of users with new features such as nearby radar, shake, and stranger matching. The company then made a lot of quick money by posting advertisements and charging advertising fees.

The profit in February was much lower than that in January. There were ten days of Spring Festival holidays in the first three weeks of February. The net profit in February is expected to be around 20 million.

In general, as Momo becomes a popular dating website, it can continue to bring quick money to Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd., and the company's revenue has increased significantly. It is expected that the net profit in the first quarter may exceed a small target.

After seeing the strong innovation and software development capabilities of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd., some large companies were very interested and wanted to acquire Zhou Jing's company. Zhou Jing certainly would not sell Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd., as this company was the foundation of Zhou Jing's business sector.

There were also companies that wanted to invest in Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. Zhou Jing had no plans to raise funds for the time being. He was very conflicted about accepting investment from the coal boss in the electronics factory. He felt a little sad to give the coal boss nearly 10% of the shares for more than 500 million yuan.

The morning passed quickly and Zhou Jing went home for lunch.

Zhou Jing was at the company, thinking about his children.

Zhou Guozhong returned home to Qing County this morning; Gu's mother will not return to Tangdu for the time being and will wait until Gu Jia finishes her confinement.

"Look who's back, is it Dad?"

Gu Jia put the child in the bassinet and pushed him to the living room to greet Zhou Jing.

"Dad just came back with a chill, little cutie, wait."

Zhou Jing was not in a hurry to amuse the little guy, but instead warmed himself up in the house. The little guy looked at Zhou Jing and babbled.

"She smiled for you." Gu Jia held the child's hand and said, "Look how much daddy loves you."

"You have a beautiful smile."

Mother Gu looked at her child with a smile on her face.

"Did you cry this morning?"

Zhou Jing went to the bathroom to wash his hands, then squatted beside the bassinet to observe whether there were any changes in the little guy.

"He cried loudly when I didn't feed him in time. He stopped crying immediately after I fed him."

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"Blame mom for not feeding you in time. How many times did she poop after I left?"

Zhou Jing gently rocked the bassinet and said.

"Once big, twice small, he's happy to see his daddy. Just now Zhou Zhou turned over and lay on his stomach for a while and farted. Why is it easier to pass gas when lying on your stomach?"

Gu Jia said as she looked at the children who had become much more active after Zhou Jing's return.

"The gas will be emitted upwards, so it is easier to fart when you lie on your stomach with your buttocks pointed upwards."

Zhou Jing thought this might be the possibility.

"I see."

Gu Jia had finished her meal. Wu Suqin and Gu's mother waited for Zhou Jing to eat together. Gu Jia pushed the cradle to the side of the dining table, sat on a chair and watched Zhou Jing eat with her daughter.

"Our Zhou Zhou is so well behaved."

Wu Suqin looked at her granddaughter with eyes full of joy and doting.

"Little cutie, you need to grow up before you can eat with mom and dad."

Zhou Jing ate while looking at his daughter.

"Zhao Minjuan's baby weighed 7.2 kilograms when he was born, more than half a kilogram heavier than Zhou Zhou."

"It's not good to be too big either. Six to seven kilograms is more appropriate. Anything over seven kilograms is not good for the pregnant woman or the baby."

I often hear people talking about giving birth to a big fat boy. Zhou Jing thinks that if the baby is small, the mother will suffer less and the baby will be safer. "That's right, Zhou Zhou weighs 6.6 jin, which is a good sign."

Gu Jia experienced this personally.

The child seemed to be greedy when watching Zhou Jing eating, smacking his lips.

"Seeing daddy eat makes you want to eat too?"

Gu Jia handed the pacifier that had just been soaked in boiling water to the child to bite.

Zhou Jing put down his chopsticks, squeezed the child's chubby little feet and said, "Are you hungry?"

"You just fed her before you came back."

Gu Jia touched the baby's belly, which was round and bulging, so it didn't look like the baby was hungry.

The children's babbling adds some liveliness to the home, and the adults are in a better mood when they are surrounded by the children.

The child fell asleep while chewing on the pacifier. Zhou Jing did not stay at home for long after dinner. He washed his face, drank a glass of water and went back to the company. In the afternoon, he would help the game team and the R&D department solve the problems they encountered.

After returning to the company, Zhou Jing called several key members together for a brief meeting and listened to their work reports. After the meeting, Zhou Jing went to the game studio to learn about the development status of King's Summon.

The development of King's Summoning has reached a critical part. The King's Summoning team is divided into four groups, each group is responsible for different tasks. The group responsible for the main production of the game is working on the matching mechanism. The matching mechanism is one of the most important systems of the game. It is not an exaggeration to say that it determines whether the game can be recognized by players. A good matching mechanism can bring a good gaming experience to players, and a too bad game mechanism will make players uninstall the game directly.

The matching mechanism of the first version of King of Glory imitated that of League of Legends.

The game hero production team has confirmed all the heroes and hero models for version 1.0, and is now formulating the skills and attributes of each hero.

Zhou Jing picked up the printed hero color pictures, looked through them all and was very satisfied. After helping the game team solve some problems, Zhou Jing went to the R&D department.

The R&D department is promoting the smartphone project. The important hardware of the first generation of mobile phones relies on buyers. The mobile phone software system that Zhou Jing is most concerned about has completed the prototype programming. The system has a prototype, and the next step is to simulate and optimize it. The team used the purchased spare parts to manually rub several mobile phones, implanted the system, and continued to develop on this basis.

“This system is up to date.”

Li Jianwei handed Zhou Jing a mobile phone with the latest system upgrade.

"Yes, we will optimize each function one by one."

Zhou Jing slid his fingers across the phone screen a few times. The system was certainly not comparable to that of more than ten years later, but at present, the mobile phone system made by Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. was considered to have a relatively good feel. System optimization is to improve and upgrade on the basis of the functions that can be currently achieved by smartphones. Zhou Jing gave up directly comprador system from the beginning, and instead optimized it based on the open basic version of the system, which would facilitate future operations.

After leaving the R&D department, Zhou Jing went back to the office and called Bai Xiyao.

The electronics factory officially started production on the tenth day of the first lunar month. A week has passed, and the first batch of Bluetooth speakers has passed testing and been packaged. They are now in stock, and Bai Xiyao plans to ship them to the market in mid-March.

Bai Xiyao: "The expansion of the factory is a bit slow. The land allocation and factory construction will be completed next year. I plan to expand the vacant land in the factory to three production lines first."

Zhou Jing: "Okay, how many can you produce in a month?"

Bai Xiyao: "Two hundred thousand Bluetooth speakers, and the MP3 players depend on the situation. Are you afraid that you won't be able to sell them?"

Zhou Jing: "If it can't be sold, I'll give it away for free."

How could Zhou Jingcheng, a big shot, have such worries? If the sales of Bluetooth speakers are not good and the inventory is piled up, the worst that can happen is that they can be given away as gifts for smartphones. One speaker costs about 30 yuan, and if they cannot be sold, giving away a million speakers will only cost about 30 million yuan.

Zhou Jing wouldn't even blink an eye if he lost one or two small goals.

For Zhou Jing, losing money on Bluetooth speakers and traditional Ideal mobile phones is a kind of success. If the Ideal brand Bluetooth speakers and traditional mobile phones can make Zhou Jing lose 100 million or 200 million, then the Ideal Electronics brand will at least be famous in the Northwest. So sometimes losing money is also a skill. It is a failure if you lose money but fail to promote the product.

Bai Xiyao: "Haha, it's not a gift for nothing. When will you be back?"

Zhou Jing: "In a few days, wait until the BJ office building procedures are completed."

Bai Xiyao: "You are such a genius. How did you come up with those features on the Momo website?"

Zhou Jing: “A keen sense of smell is essential for software development.”

Bai Xiyao: "Keep going. What's the next step for Momo? Are you going to do the Internet?"

Zhou Jing: "I don't know, let's wait and see after we earn some advertising money."

High school officially opened on the 16th day of the first lunar month. Zhou Jing called Yang Wenwen. Yang's mother and Yang Xin went to Yulin City today. Zhou Jing thought about taking time to visit Yang Wenwen and her daughter in Yulin City. In order to have a more sufficient reason, Zhou Jing asked the Yulin branch of Bowen Network Technology Co., Ltd. to go ahead and take any big projects in Yulin City.

The Yushi branch is currently discussing a project with Yushi College, where the college will build two new dormitory buildings, a new cafeteria and student activity center, and a comprehensive teaching building.

While renovating the dormitory buildings and new restaurants, Yushi College plans to upgrade the school's information system, power system, and electronic education system, including laying fiber optic cables in all student apartment buildings and dormitories. If this project is successful, it will cost no less than 50 million yuan. The branch manager will talk to them first, and Zhou Jing will take action when the negotiations are almost done.

"Mr. Zhou, this is the branch company plan sent by Tangdu."

Tang Yuan printed out the electronic version of the plan issued by the Tangdu Branch of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. and sent it to the office.

"Okay, give this to Director Qin. The Administration Department, Finance Department, and Human Resources Department will assist the Operations Department in registering an online store on the shopping website and be responsible for online sales of Ideal Electronics Factory's products."

Zhou Jing took the branch company plan and gave Tang Yuan the electronics factory information sent by Bai Xiyao.

The reason why Tangdu Company is not allowed to directly engage in online sales is because the operation department of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. is good at marketing. It will be handed over to Bai Xiyao after the online store is almost done.

"Ok."

Tang Yuan took the information with both hands and went to find Qin Zhengyu.

Zhou Jing opened Taobao on his computer and searched for speakers. In 2012, online shopping had already reached a certain scale and became a new shopping fashion among young people. Online shopping will develop explosively in the next two years. Online shopping is mainly for young people, especially college students. If Bluetooth speakers can open up online sales channels, the potential will be much greater than offline.

With the business capabilities of the operations department of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd., Zhou Jing is not worried about the online sales channels. As long as the product passes the test, everything else is not a problem.

Speaking of online sales channels, Zhou Jing couldn't help but think about the e-commerce field again, but quickly gave up the idea. Now entering the e-commerce field is equivalent to giving money. The competition in the e-commerce field is fierce. Taobao, JD.com, Vipshop, Juhuasuan and other giants are fighting each other. There is no need for novices to try. They can only get a piece of the pie with the help of short video live streaming in a few years.

After get off work at five o'clock, Zhou Jing left the company at half past five and took a detour to the jewelry store to pick up his daughter's gold jewelry. The pure gold rose customized for Gu Jia was not yet ready, so Zhou Jing took his daughter's gold bracelet and little golden dragon first.

The bracelet and zodiac pendant that Zhou Jing customized for his daughter are both made of solid gold and have a very textured feel. One of the bracelets is engraved with "peace and joy", while the other is engraved with "cleverness and cleverness".

"The bracelet is a bit heavy. Zhou Zhou will feel stressed when wearing it now. I accepted it for the little cutie. What did you buy for me that's not ready yet?"

The child is sleeping, Gu Jia took the bracelet and said with a smile.

"You'll know when you do it well."

Zhou Jing continued to keep the suspense. He was not in a hurry to eat the meal after it was ready. He went to the bedroom to check on the child. The child was sleeping in the adult's bed. The small one was so adorable on the huge bed.

"The little guy has a good appetite, so I don't have to waste my money."
