The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 352 Back to Qizhou

Xu Huabing and the others were completely shocked by what Zheng Sijing said. Of course Nokia and the others knew that they all belonged to this industry. It is normal to know about it. Although it is not as powerful as Motorola, it is definitely not a small company.

Of course they don't know that the sales volume of Nokia's mobile terminals will start to rise sharply from next year, and will maintain its sales dominance for more than ten years from the year after.

Even in the era of Android, Nokia has declined, but the lean camel is bigger than a horse, still relying on communication infrastructure and services to maintain tens of billions of dollars in revenue, and in some respects it still has a leading position.

Li Weidong has enjoyed this kind of adoring gaze for too many times, and he has already become immune to a large extent, "Although I am a shareholder, I don't participate in the management, and I need you to discuss the details!"

"It's enough, chairman, don't worry, we will definitely contact you actively!" Xu Huabing said with a complex expression.

"Bringing in technology doesn't mean that you don't need to do research and development. It just makes you less detours and recognizes the gap. Instead, you should work harder!"

"We are no worse than anyone else in innovation. It has been like this since ancient times. What we are short of is accumulation. How long has it been developed? We have only started a few years, so don't be discouraged!"

Li Weidong saw Xu Huabing's complex expression this time, so he said a few more words to give some encouragement.

After hearing Li Weidong's words, Xu Huabing's complexion improved a lot, not because of encouragement, but because Li Weidong asked them to continue to engage in research and development and innovation.

He is a technical leader. If the company does not engage in R&D and innovation, his position as a leader will be in jeopardy, and the company will need to change leaders.

Now Li Weidong has the final say, if he wants to engage in trade, industry and technology, who can object, now Li Weidong's instructions are very clear, the introduction of technology is for better research and development.

"Chairman, we will definitely not relax research and development, and strive to develop domestic mobile phones as soon as possible!" Xu Huabing assured.

Li Weidong looked at Xu Huabing's appearance and said: "Scientific and technological innovation and core technology are the foundation of a company's survival, but we should also pay more attention to what our peers are doing, which is the future direction, don't go all the way to the dark, you will know when you hit the wall If you make a mistake, it will be too late!"

Li Weidong took precautions in advance. Bird's market advantage in functional phones did not continue in later smartphones. Although this conforms to the market law of prosperity and decline, it still has not invested in research and development and selected the right direction.

"I would like to make a request for you to study it to see if it is feasible and to ensure sustainable research and development. In the future, the annual research and development expenses will account for more than [-]% of sales!"

Li Weidong also wants to make more money, which are all pure profits, but if he still wants to only import technology at this time, the way to sell products is destined to be short.

If ten years ago, Li Weidong would never have made this request, at least not so generously, but now the environment has improved and the soil for innovation already exists.

Now China has announced to the world that we have selected academicians, which shows that at this time, we have the self-confidence of a certain scientific and technological foundation and can engage in scientific and technological innovation-driven enterprises.

"Chairman, you are too wise, let's go back and formulate relevant regulations!" Xu Huabing almost jumped up and said, this ratio is too high, lest Li Weidong will go back on his word.

Li Weidong's proposal must be passed. Through equity interspersed, Li Weidong controls more than half of the company and has unparalleled power.

With this ratio of R&D investment, anyone who still says that Bird is not a R&D company is talking nonsense.

"I just have one thing. The money invested is not for welfare. If there is no output, or if there is a mess, then it will be broken up. I suggest changing people!"

When he suggested a replacement, he was being polite, but in fact he was going to fuck off.

"Chairman, don't worry, we will definitely spend every penny wisely and not waste a dime!" Xu Huabing said hurriedly with a tremor in his heart.

In the evening, Li Weidong invited a few people to have dinner at the Peace Hotel. There were quite a few of them. Xu Huabing and Gao Fuxing were both high-level intellectuals, and they chatted very well after getting in touch with each other.

Several intellectuals teamed up to praise Li Weidong. The intellectuals had a lot of eyes and almost made Li Weidong drink too much. Fortunately, in the end, Li Weidong still insisted on biting.

Early the next morning, Li Weidong boarded the flight to Qizhou, and he didn't know how long it would be until there was a direct flight from Qizhou to Hong Kong Island, so that he could avoid the pain of traveling.

Along with Zheng Sijing's team, they are not all here to accompany Li Weidong back to Qizhou, but Jingwei Investment is conducting an on-site inspection of some of Handong's pre-investment companies.

You can’t give as much as you want, let alone as much as your company’s assets. You still need to conduct on-the-spot investigations to find out the specific situation.

Whoever investigates, who signs, and who is responsible, if the investigation is insufficient and perfunctory, will be responsible if something happens in the end.

Of course, in the position of Zheng Sijing, if Li Weidong did not return to Qizhou and there were no major projects, he might not go there in person. The leaders of a few offices are enough.

When the plane landed, Li Weidong and Zheng Sijing deliberately left the airport at a distance. When Li Weidong went out, he happened to see Zheng Sijing surrounded by people, for fear that he would run away.

Li Weidong looked at this scene, although he felt that it was wise not to go out with Zheng Sijing, but he was somewhat envious.

At this time, and even for a long time to come, this situation will occur. Anyone who is not a Chinese can receive higher treatment, probably super-national treatment!
After Zheng Sijing left, Li Weidong came out. It wasn't long before Xia Guoqiang appeared in a hurry, and hurried up to meet him. He was relieved to see that Li Weidong was not unhappy.

"Chairman, the group of people who saw the China Merchants Bureau when we first arrived, if they were blocked, it would not be easy to get out. You will arrive soon, so you dare not get out of the car!" Xia Guoqiang explained.

He himself was blocked, and it would be a big deal to say a few pleasantries. It would be bad if they met Li Weidong. It wasn't that Li Weidong was bad, but that he was going to suffer from Li Weidong.

"People from China Merchants Bureau, no wonder they are so enthusiastic, Lao Zheng's treatment is really good!" Li Weidong said casually.

"That's not true. The reward they get for an investment is more than a year's salary. These people are worse than a dog that smells bones, and their noses are so long!"

"There is interest to be motivated. In principle, there is no problem. Mobilize everyone's enthusiasm and offer suggestions for economic construction. This is also the keynote set by the above!" Li Weidong said, smoking a cigarette.

"You also said that there is no problem in principle, but Mr. Zheng was picked up as soon as he got off the plane. You didn't see that scene just now, and the red carpet was paving the way. There is no basic principle!"

It was rare for Xia Guoqiang not to say a few words along with Li Weidong. He also saw that Li Weidong was a little displeased with these things.

"Okay, what's the use of talking about this? The economic aggregate is the indicator of assessment. GDP is required from top to bottom, so development is the last word, and everything else must be left behind!"

"Hey, Qizhou is better. Some places do everything for economic data. At the door of our company, people often come to hand over business cards. I can see that many of them are from the Merchants Bureau of various places!"

"What else?" Li Weidong asked in surprise, and he understood what was going on after thinking about it. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Anyway, it's just a business card, whether there is a date or not.

"Isn't it? Not only these, but also some greetings from above, which made me unable to resist!"

"This is using us as a bank!" Li Weidong was unhappy. This is what he fears most. He is not afraid of serious business, but he is afraid of people messing up things.

Li Weidong walked to the side of the road and the car arrived. Xia Guoqiang quickly opened the door and let Li Weidong sit in. He also sat in the back seat. The driver was replaced by the new bodyguard Zhang Hao.

"Chairman, your return this time is not only a matter of Handong Machinery Factory, but also the car production license applied for in the name of Dengfeng Machine Repair Factory has also been passed, but the name of the company has changed!"

"What has become?" Li Weidong asked in surprise.

"Qizhou Automobile Factory, we haven't registered this company at all, but the legal representative is your name. I asked the industrial and commercial department, and they don't know about this situation either!"

Xia Guoqiang also said curiously that when the comrades from the industry and commerce department notified him, he was pleasantly surprised and lamented how powerful the boss was, not only issuing the certificate, but also so fast.

But when he saw the name, he was dumbfounded. If it wasn't for the fact that the name was Li Weidong and the place of registration was the address they filled in at the beginning, he would have thought it was a mistake.

"It seems that people don't like our machine repair factory, so they just complete the registration procedures according to the name on the license, as long as they have a license!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

"Chairman, but there is no one in this company except you. How to carry out the work, you have to make up your mind?" Xia Guoqiang wanted to throw the blame away, for fear that this matter would fall to his head.

He is already very proficient in how to drive a car, and he can almost be regarded as an old driver, but he knows how to build a car and knows nothing about it.

"Take your time, what doesn't happen from scratch, we won't have a meeting, aren't you good at poaching people, our vice president is going to be high-ranking soon, so I forced you to poach him !"

Li Weidong said with a smile that Xinsheng Holdings is different from Ruibosi Holdings. They are both investment legal persons, but the domestic professional manager system and professional talents are still immature, and they still need a lot of supervision.

Therefore, Xinsheng Holdings has various departments under it, and the personnel are relatively complete. It has been established for more than a year, and there are already more than 200 personnel, and it will continue to expand.

With so many people, the leader must be well-equipped. In order to show his trust in Xia Guoqiang, he asked him to find his partner by himself, not thinking of giving Li Weidong a surprise.

In his forties, with a real job at the department level, he was still in the big yamen, and he didn't resign because of any problems. He simply couldn't stand the days and constraints of the system.

Li Weidong only communicated on the phone, looked at the faxed resume, and immediately agreed to go through the entry procedures first, and directly set the salary of assistant general manager and deputy general manager. After his personal interview, he can directly transfer to the deputy general manager.

Although it was recommended by Xia Guoqiang, if this person can't distinguish between big and small kings, he probably won't reach this level, so Li Weidong believes that in order to avoid suspicion, he and Xia Guoqiang will not have a good personal relationship.

"There are still a lot of automobile factories in our country. It is still possible to find a few people by using our brains. The automobile factories in Northeast China are known as the cradle of China's automobile industry. They have a lot of talents. It is not easy to find a few people!" Li Weidong continued.

"That's different. I worked under him for a year when I first started working. Although I'm not familiar with him, I still understand him somewhat. I also got in touch with him later. He is willing to work for me!"

"I don't know any of those car factories, how difficult it is to poach people!" Xia Guoqiang shook his head and complained.

Li Weidong is better at building cars than Xia Guoqiang, but asking him to build a car, choose a model, and make a request is fine, but designing it is nonsense.

There are so many industries under his name, he doesn’t know any of them, cement making, real estate, logistics, shopping malls, restaurants, all of these he just talks about, let him do the specific operation, maybe they don’t necessarily do it good.

With so many industries, there is no time to make cars by yourself. It is the most scientific way to find professional people to do professional things. There are so many automobile factories in China, and there are many talents.

He also has Skoda as his backing. Both the workers and the R&D personnel there are very rich. The reason why Volkswagen hesitated to acquire Skoda is because of the surplus of personnel.

He brought some of these people here, and it wasn't the best of both worlds. The more he thought about it, the better he felt. He had to call Ge Guoliang to do this, and he couldn't help laughing out loud when he thought about it.

Xia Guoqiang was baffled, and he didn't dare to ask, but looking at the situation, the matter of poaching people was about to fall on him, and he, the vice president, still had to work as the human resources director.

Xia Guoqiang also felt sad for the few cars in China. With Li Weidong thinking about it, some talents must be lost. Xia Guoqiang felt that what Li Weidong said was right. As long as the hoe is diligent, there is no corner that cannot be dug.

Knowing that this matter has fallen to him, and resistance is futile, let's bear it silently, and then report to Li Weidong about the Handong Machinery Factory.

"Handong Machinery Factory is now in a state of complete suspension of production, and there is only one deputy secretary in charge of the trade union and group work left in the factory-level leadership. The others must either go in or be transferred!"

"Several of the workshop directors below were also implicated, which is a devastating blow to the machinery factory!" Xia Guoqiang said with emotion.

It is said that the dependence of state-owned enterprises on leaders is relatively poor, even if there are a few problems, it will not affect the normal operation, but how can they operate normally if there are accidents.

"So serious?" Li Weidong was also surprised when he heard it. Although he knew that many leaders were implicated, he was still moved when he heard it again.

I don't know if Song Guofeng's methods are too ruthless, or the city is using this matter to clean up some people, and the machinery factory sells them.

Moreover, a large factory with hundreds of employees is gone, so we have to give an explanation to the superiors, and let the superiors know that the reason for selling the factory is not ours, but that it is rotten to the bone.

"It's more than that. Don't look at the downturn of the factory, but a lot of things have been done in the past two years, such as building restaurants, building dormitory buildings, beautifying the roads in the factory area, repairing carports, and having projects to make money!" Xia Guoqiang said with emotion.

Li Weidong nodded to express his approval. If a company is in a difficult time, but still engages in dispensable or non-essential projects, it is because some people see that the company is going to die, and they have a few more drinks before closing down. blood!
"Have you found out clearly, what does the city think?" Li Weidong didn't care about that, he had to know what the goal of the city was, he knew that he could win all battles, and he had to be careful when dealing with officials.
