Chen Shoufu acted quickly. After all, in an era when programmer salaries were generally around 1,000 yuan, a basic salary of 2,000 yuan was extremely attractive. Within a day, everyone in the imperial capital had basically arrived, and after three days, the team of over 30 people had completely assembled.
Then, our boss Huang made a personal appearance and began to hold a meeting for all members.
The specific content of this meeting is unknown. However, many years later, a reporter had the good fortune to interview a former member, who said with immense excitement, "This was the most important day in the history of China's internet business. It proclaimed the birth of the greatest Chinese enterprise of all time. Our souls and bodies were all impacted by the series of actions from the great Chairman Huang."
"I never believed in a god of business before, but after that day, I did!"
Then, this member heard that he was promoted to vice president the very next day.
However, there were also some darker elements, foreign-funded media with ulterior motives, who interviewed an unknown minor figure. He claimed to have attended that meeting and training, and that almost everyone felt unwell and couldn't sleep after the training, feeling their souls had been greatly contaminated. Four or five people actually quit the team the next day.
Of course, this is definitely a rumor. Otherwise, how come none of the names of those who quit back then have ever been heard of?
Ahem, let's get back to the point. After the meeting, which laid out a perfect development plan for the entire oo team and pointed the way forward, the members were so excited they couldn't sleep all night, vowing to follow Boss Huang to the death.
Then, Huang He collectively packed them up and took them back to Wenzhou.
After all, this was Boss Huang's most valued project, the future of the entire Jiangnan Group!
Some people might say, isn't the main business of Jiangnan Group leather goods, isn't it Jiangnan Leather Factory?
If you think so, then you are gravely mistaken. Everyone knows that the physical industry is on the decline in the future, gradually fading away. On the contrary, the internet and everything related to the internet are the hottest industries in China, the trend of the times. Standing on it, even a pig can fly.
Secondly, if we must talk about which physical industry makes money the fastest, it is definitely the mobile phone industry. Standing on this trend, even a dog can fly.
Therefore, Boss Huang has made up his mind to focus on developing the internet and mobile phones in the future. As for the original business of leather, Boss Huang's attitude is relatively indifferent.
Of course, it's not realistic to shut down this line of business, as there are hundreds of millions of yuan worth of equipment and production lines. It will take some time to sell them at a suitable price, so Jiangnan Leather Factory will continue to operate. However, Boss Huang's main energy will clearly not be focused here. Boss Huang has a broader horizon in his eyes.
Jiangnan Leather Factory is no longer as important in Boss Huang's eyes.
It's just that fate plays tricks on people. Huang He would never have dreamed what unimaginable consequences leather would have for the future of Jiangnan Group.
As Huang He returned to Wenzhou, Leng Zhiruo also returned to Wenzhou and began to report the latest results from Shenzhen to Huang He.
Actually, there was nothing much to report, as everything was proceeding smoothly according to Huang He's plan. The only unexpected thing was perhaps a construction report submitted by Leng Zhiruo.
"Chairman, Liu Nian's technical skills are fine, but he's a bit unreliable in how he does things. He actually wants to invest and build such a large factory in Shenzhen all at once. This will consume millions of yuan. I really don't know what face he has to push such a plan!" When Leng Zhiruo mentioned this plan, she was clearly very displeased.
"Let me see!" Huang He glanced at the report, and his breathing immediately became rapid, because the factory designed by Liu Nian occupied an area of about twenty mu, a large factory.
According to Liu Nian's plan in the report, if everything developed smoothly, Tianxing Mobile would eventually form a comprehensive electronics enterprise integrating upstream and downstream industrial chains. This would necessitate the installation of a lot of large equipment and the recruitment of many workers. Thus, an area of 20 mu would be needed to meet future development.
At the same time, Liu Nian also stated that he knew this would consume a lot of company funds, but from a long-term perspective, it was necessary. The key was that he learned that his uncle's village had been designated as a new economic zone, with plans to attract a large number of enterprises to settle in and offering relatively favorable land acquisition policies.
The most crucial point is that the property rights of these lands are top-tier 50 years, with priority for renewal, making them very stable.
Although that area is somewhat remote now, the government is very supportive, and the policies are very good. He estimates that in at most one or two years, this land will be gone. Tianxing must seize the opportunity to acquire 20 mu to leave enough room for future development.
Moreover, these 20 mu of land are relatively cheap. Coupled with various government subsidies, the actual price per mu averages only around 50,000 yuan, which is very cheap already.
Therefore, Liu Nian hopes that Huang He can approve an additional 1 million yuan for him to acquire these 20 mu of land, otherwise, he won't be able to find expansion space in the future.
Huang He glanced at the location of the land marked by Liu Nian: Shenzhen's Lh District.
"Approved!" Huang He said to Leng Zhiruo very decisively.
"Really give him another 1 million yuan to buy land?" Leng Zhiruo's eyes widened. "Brother-in-law, although we recovered some funds last month, we can't afford to spend like this!"
"How much usable funds do we still have in our accounts?" Huang He asked.
"Last month we had over thirty million, and this month it's over ten million. Shenzhen has invested 1.8 million in total, and the oo project has invested 5 million. We should have around thirty-five million yuan in our accounts!"
"How about this, you work hard and go to Shenzhen again to communicate with the local authorities. Those twenty million... no, all thirty million should be used to acquire 600 mu of land in Lh District and establish a Jiangnan Industrial Base!"
"This money is ours, so this land naturally belongs to our Jiangnan Group. However, Tianxing Mobile can use the land within it for free!" Huang He said.
"600 mu of land!!" Leng Zhiruo's mouth dropped open. "Brother-in-law, are you crazy? What do we need 600 mu of land for? The entire Tianxing Mobile only needs 2 mu. What do you plan to do with the remaining 598 mu of land?"
"What we do with it doesn't matter. What's important is that this land is in our hands, it's an asset of our Jiangnan Group!" Huang He said with a smile. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I have a feeling that in at most a few years, all 598 mu of land will be used. Even if not, we can rent it out to other manufacturers in the future. As long as the land is in our hands, we will never lose money!"
"Yes!" Under Huang He's half-persuasive, half-coercive command, Leng Zhiruo could only agree. In a few days, she would go to Shenzhen again to buy the land.
"Send out the batch of items you brought from Shenzhen to the sales representatives across the country. I think they also need some new things to stimulate the market. We can't just keep selling leather goods, can we!"
"Oh, and one more thing!" Huang He remembered something and said, "oo will independently establish Jiangnan Computer Technology Systems Co., Ltd., which belongs to our Jiangnan Group. All the personnel have arrived. We will use our idle third workshop as their temporary workplace. You arrange it. Try to meet their living needs as much as possible, so they can devote themselves wholeheartedly to their work. They only have one month!"
"Also, this afternoon you will take Zhimeng to register and handle various procedures. She will be the legal representative and CEO of Jiangnan Computer Systems Co., Ltd., fully responsible for the operation of the entire company!"
"Zhimeng is still young and doesn't understand many things. As her elder sister, you must help her and let her quickly get familiar with operating the entire company. Don't underestimate this new company. If we succeed, it will be the brightest pearl in my palm, and perhaps all of us will have to rely on Zhimeng to make a living!" Huang He said with a smile.
"Um... Okay... I don't feel well right now, I need to go to the restroom!" Leng Zhiruo suddenly lowered her head and covered her face.
"If you don't feel well, drink more hot water!" Huang He mumbled behind her.
