Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2201 We are worth every penny

After the meeting, Zhao Shuying did not immediately hold a meeting for the entire company. Instead, he thought about it for a while and made detailed plans. Only then did he begin to make drastic changes to the traditional industries of domestic unified intelligent manufacturing.

"What's going on, Mr. Zhao? We are doing well in this department, but now we have to transfer positions. This is not right!"

Several cadres in their forties came to Zhao Shuying with transfer orders. Zhao Shuying was checking the accounts there and pointed to the sofa next to him and asked them to sit down first.

Then he put on the headset and continued to talk on the phone. It took a full ten minutes for Zhao Shuying to finish the call.

"Master Li, how long have you worked in the new energy department?"

Zhao Shuying personally poured a cup of tea for the other party and said with a smile, Li Chunfeng had never seen Zhao Shuying smile before, and now seeing her smile, he felt even more panicked.

"About ten years ago. I started the business with Mr. Ji, so it's been a while. Mr. Zhao, there aren't many old people in our company now..."

Li Chunfeng, who is 49 years old, but actually 52 years old, was an old employee of the parts factory when Ji Donglai started his business. He is quite capable in management.

That was why, when the entire company was rotating positions, Ji Donglai intervened and moved Li Chunfeng to the graphene battery new energy department, where he worked on jigs and related structural design.

However, Li Chunfeng had almost no actual work in the past few years, and had been doing "management". In fact, he was just taking care of the elderly, watching videos on his mobile phone in corners every day. Zhao Shuying had seen it several times.

"Master Li, as an old employee of the company, you should set an example for the young people. How do you think you have done in the past two years?"

Taking the tablet, Zhao Shuying looked at Li Chunfeng quietly. At this time, Li Chunfeng was stunned.

Once such a question is asked, there is only one result: the company has obtained actual evidence and you have to resign.

"Boss Zhao, aren't other people in our company also..."

"Master Li, you are an old employee who was retained by President Ji. President Ji said that the difference between you and those who went to new companies is self-discipline. In the past few years, you did follow President Ji's instructions. How about these years?"

Li Chunfeng wanted to explain himself, but Zhao Shuying directly showed him the recent surveillance video, causing Li Chunfeng's blood pressure to soar instantly.

In the video, Li Chunfeng hid in a corner and watched videos for several hours at a time. Sometimes he chatted with the workers. What was worse, the other party hid alcohol somewhere and drank it several times during work.

Drinking during work hours is expressly prohibited by Ji Donglai. Li Chunfeng has signed an agreement, and this is now a serious violation of the regulations.

"Boss Zhao, can you talk to Boss Ji about this..."

Thinking of the treatment he enjoyed at Yiyuan Zhizao, the other party felt very unwilling.

Besides, over the years, the other party believes that he has made outstanding contributions to the company.

"He Xiaolong's elevator factory is in urgent need of experienced people like you. I have already made arrangements. The salary is comparable to this place. But you have to continue working. How old are you now?"

"You are still eight years away from sixty. Wouldn't it be boring to spend eight years watching videos? Besides, your skills have not yet been passed down. Are you willing to accept this?"

"Mr. Ji has been busy with a new project overseas, so don't expect him to come back just for you. Your wife had surgery two years ago, and Mr. Ji signed the contract himself. Have you seen this happen in other companies?"

"I can say responsibly that Ji Donglai of Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing is the best in China. But the employees have to live up to him, and we managers have to live up to him too. Do you want me to say anything else?"

Looking at Li Chunfeng, Zhao Shuying did not compromise this time. Among the oldest group of employees, he was considered a good one, but now he started to slack off, which was absolutely not allowed in the factory.

Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing is a private enterprise, there is no such thing as pension, unless it is completely acquired by state-owned enterprises.

When the branch was sold to Huayan Baoliang a few times ago, someone asked Li Chunfeng for his opinion. He said he missed the old company and didn't want to leave. Because Ji Donglai mentioned it, the company management was abandoned. Now? It's time!

"I understand. Please convey my gratitude to President Ji!"

When it came to his wife's surgery, Li Chunfeng finally compromised.

The entire surgery for his wife cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the company paid for it all. The medical insurance also reimbursed a lot of it. Otherwise, with Li Chunfeng's family background, his entire net worth would have been gone.

I thought Ji Donglai wanted to keep me as a sign, but now it is clear that Ji Donglai does not want to keep anyone. It is not reasonable for Li Chunfeng to stay.

In this way, Zhao Shuying started with Li Chunfeng and sent out a group of people who had no ambition and were just sitting there doing nothing, and replaced them with a group of younger and more energetic people.

Overseas, the negotiations between Jiang Haokun and the foreigners have entered a white-hot stage. Both sides are arguing over the price and neither side wants to give in.

"Everyone, it's meaningless for us to continue talking like this. Let's change the negotiation location tomorrow and go to our equipment manufacturing factory in Saudi Arabia. I will personally tell you why our asking price is so high. It's not that we are cruel, but that our products are indeed worth the money!"

Jiang Haokun absolutely couldn't bear to see the foreigner typing on the calculator.

A bunch of ignorant bastards are quibbling over words here. They don’t even know the principle that two 120kw transformers cannot be used as one 240kw transformer. What are they talking about? So I decided to teach a few of them a lesson.

As for those chattering foreigners, Jiang Haokun handed them over to his subordinates and returned to his office.

"I'm so annoyed. They say they are a professional team, but they know nothing. They even show me data. Do they know the basic principles of electricity? Damn it!"

Jiang Haokun was so annoyed by the foreigners' unreasonable demands that he returned to his room and lit a stick of agarwood. His expression gradually calmed down. Later, Jiang Haokun went to the Saudi Arabian base to prepare. A group of foreigners went to the Saudi Embassy to take pictures. With the invitation from Yiyuan Zhizao, their visas were quickly issued.

"Oh my god, such a large industrial base?"

Because the airport is far away from Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing's industrial base, after landing, a group of people took a large helicopter provided by Saudi Arabia. From a bird's eye view from the air, Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing's huge industrial base was like a huge circuit board embedded in the vast desert.

The huge windbreak walls around it are in the shape of petals and are very beautiful. There are flowing rivers around the industrial base and green vegetation everywhere inside. From above, you can see some people playing sports in the living area, including basketball, tennis, badminton, and table tennis.

There is also a swimming pool, horse riding...

The entire industrial base is like a huge city.

"This is just our Phase I base. The Phase II base is not here. The two industrial parks are different. If we have time today, we will go to the Phase II base, or visit the new city base in Qatar!"

The tour guide's voice was transmitted into the earphones of the group through the intercom, and the next moment, five helicopters slowly landed towards the helipad on the roof.

These negotiation experts from Europe entered the spiral staircase in waves, took the elevator into the factory, changed their clothes, entered the air door, and underwent secondary disinfection and dust removal.

"What you have in front of you is the insulator project of one of the substation projects of our power generation project. Before each assembly, the inside is cleaned with a large amount of anhydrous alcohol with a purity of 100%. The requirements for the inside are exactly the same as those for chip production. There cannot be any dust. Otherwise, when the ultra-high voltage is transmitted, it will discharge through the dust and directly break through the entire conductor. An insulating sleeve costs 10,000 US dollars. In the first phase of the project you designed, 15 substations are needed, and each substation has 70 such modules. Is what we want expensive?"

"The production requirements for this one thing are so high. Our power transmission project has tens of thousands of such small components, all of which require this specification of assembly requirements, dust-free! The environment of our workshop is almost at the same level as the workshop for chip production, because this is our Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing's chip production base in Leyard."

"In fact, your negotiation is for two purposes: to lower the price or to prepare to produce some key components, especially the expensive ones, by yourself. No problem, as long as you can provide the same production environment as us, we will give you the products, you will assemble them, and then supply them to the entire project."

"As long as you can meet our requirements, we'll be fine. I'll place an order for you at our asking price. You can give it a try. If you can't make the parts, I'm sorry. I'll give you a quote based on our process requirements. You also have experts who can record videos and take photos."

"Send it to them and have a look. If it's possible, we'll provide the parts, you'll assemble it, and then we'll move on to the next step of the project. Otherwise, there's no need to continue the negotiations between us."

"It's so frustrating to always worry about trivial matters! You also know the foresight and technological content of our project. We have negotiated with more than ten countries. As long as we are willing, we can carry out the project and get funding this year."

"I'm tired of this endless negotiation, guys, make the decision!"

Jiang Haokun spoke loudly, showing everyone the entire installation of the insulator.

The dust-free workshop inside the dust-free factory, the dust-free compartment on the third floor.

The entire installation process is fully closed, and workers have to clean it three times, not to mention the internal cleaning of the product. Although the foreigners are quite stupid, they can see how high the environmental requirements here are.

The huge dust removal equipment alone consumes a considerable amount of electricity per hour. A workshop has three levels of dust removal, and so many engineers are busy working on it, so the price will definitely not be low.

Looking at the various lighting and heating around, one of the negotiators looked at the humidity and temperature gauges on the wall, and then looked at a few people, and realized that they had lost the initiative in this negotiation.

Then Jiang Haokun led a few people to visit several other workshops, which were also workshops for assembling power transmission equipment.
