Chapter 2369
Home Advantage
He Yuzhu took out the kerosene lighter his son-in-law had given him from his pocket, and with a 'click', the flame ignited.
The level of sophistication immediately increased.
"Principal He, my brother, I was wrong. You are a magnanimous person."
"Let's get down to business first." If any other factory manager were to act so arrogantly in front of Lao Niu, he would have been kicked out long ago.
But this was He Yuzhu; he knew this good-for-nothing all too well.
Whenever He Yuzhu shows this expression, it means he must have a solution.
"Five! I'm out of cigarettes!" He Yuzhu held up three fingers, but what he said was five.
This isn't because he doesn't even know kindergarten math.
Rather, he knew very well that for someone of Lao Niu's rank, the monthly quota was only three [items/items].
But He Yuzhu wanted to extort more money, so he reported five items.
Anyway, Lao Niu isn't addicted to cigarettes.
Smoke less, and you'll be healthier.
He Yuzhu is no good. He Daqing and his father get their cigarettes entirely by shamelessly begging for them everywhere.
“Okay, but I’ll give it to you in batches,” Old Niu readily agreed.
This made He Yuzhu quite regretful; he had reported too few, he should have reported ten.
"...We should be able to get some second-hand assembly equipment from Hong Kong Island."
I need you to make an opening for me here.
"I'm going to bring that thing in under the guise of scrapping machinery." He Yuzhu was the kind of person who would do things for money and never played games.
"Where's the movement?" Old Niu asked, addressing the question he was most concerned about.
Nowadays, whether it's electronic or quartz watches, only Swiss watchmakers have a mature supply chain for movement development.
So if this problem isn't solved, even if He Yuzhu brings in the assembly line, he'll just be working for someone else.
"Comrade, take it one step at a time! You can't get fat in one bite!" He Yuzhu returned the exact same words, with the exact same tone.
Old Niu's sword-like eyebrows were turned into crescent moons by his anger.
Seeing that it was about time, He Yuzhu continued, "Xinghua is doing quite well now."
He may not be able to get the supply chain, but getting a large quantity of movement components shouldn't be a problem.
Let's tackle this like ants moving house, one step at a time!
"I don't believe this little thing is harder to deal with than a television." He Yuzhu then revealed his true thoughts.
In short, it involves three steps: importing assembly equipment from Hong Kong Island, importing movement components from small shops, and then gradually developing the technology.
This is the case in many industries.
But those people talk the talk but don't walk the walk.
Anyone can say nice things, but once He Yuzhu says them, he will definitely do them.
“Our city of Beijing has the most universities.”
If you're really serious about research, as long as you distribute the profits properly, it shouldn't be a problem.
In three to five years, we will eventually be able to figure it out.
The profits generated from assembly can be used to cover research expenses.
I don't ask for much.
First, you need to help me communicate with them, so that some factories won't accuse us of malicious competition.
They're just occupying the toilet without doing their business; we can't expect others to have to hold it in too.
Secondly, once a profit is generated, the right to use that money can only be held by our CNC Academy.
If anyone gets jealous and has designs on us, you have to help us protect them.
Old ox, we're so pitiful!
The door manufacturing company makes a little money, but other companies treat us like landlords who covet our wealth.
Furthermore, the movement of an electronic watch involves far too many upstream and downstream components.
"Display screen, button battery, fine processing..." He Yuzhu listed them off to Lao Niu one by one on his fingers.
He wasn't really envious of the small profits from electronic watches.
He was well aware that even if he did nothing, businessmen on Hong Kong Island would gradually drive down the cost of electronic watches.
Furthermore, this entire industry chain will gradually shift to the mainland. Currently, an electronic watch costs two or three hundred yuan.
In seven or eight years, it will be able to drop below ten dollars.
He Yuzhu is still concerned about the upstream production chain of electronic watches.
Using commerce to support industry, if the profits from electronic and quartz watches can be leveraged to drive industrial transformation in Beijing's display screen industry.
That would affect many factories.
Old Niu sat down next to He Yuzhu, holding his head in his hands, looking conflicted.
The future that He Yuzhu described was very tempting.
But the pressure to make this happen is just too great.
This is not the original television factory; it was a key project of the city government.
They have the support of the entire city of Beijing.
He Yuzhu's meaning is now very clear.
Even if he brings the assembly line back now, it would just mean the CNC college is setting up another school-run factory.
All the profits from the school-run factory will remain in the school-run factory.
The factories and organizations affected came from all directions.
With such immense pressure, it seems quite difficult for him to bear it.
Moreover, the higher-ups intend for him to go to Shanghai for training.
The biggest impact of He Yuzhu's actions was on watch factories in Shanghai.
How can he possibly agree to this?
"Give me a straight answer, stop being so fussy."
If you say no, then I'll find someone else.
"I knew it. Although Comrade Lao Niu has thick eyebrows and big eyes and looks like a loyal minister, he is just..." He Yuzhu used his words to stab Comrade Lao Niu, but Lao Niu just gave him a helpless look, and He Yuzhu immediately shut up.
He dared not say anything more, for if Lao Niu made things difficult for him in the future, he would be finished.
"Let's do it, let's do it!"
"I'll back you up." Old Niu stood up and said, as if venting his anger.
After saying this, he sat back down at his desk, not even glancing at He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu awkwardly stood up and said hesitantly, "Old Niu, you promised me the cigarettes..."
Old Niu braced himself on the table with both hands, suddenly stood up, and glared at He Yuzhu.
Although He Yuzhu felt guilty, he stubbornly said, "We are all men who stand up to pee, and we stand by our word. We don't renege on our promises."
Old Niu took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and opened them again; his emotions had returned to normal.
He got up, walked to the filing cabinet next to him, pushed open the glass, and took out two packs of cigarettes.
One of them was roughly torn in two by him.
He tossed one and a half pieces over and said in a muffled voice, "I'll give them to you over three months."
By the way, Lao He, haven't you ever thought about moving this business to another location?
For example, in Shanghai…
He Yuzhu quickly shook his head and said, "I love Beijing!"
"We will never be apart, not even in life or death."
Old Niu waved his hand, too lazy to get angry with this clown.
However, when He Yuzhu reached the door, he said coldly, "It seems that those factories in the small specialized industry were moved to the south under your leadership."
Is this what you mean by loving Beijing?
"Hehehe..." He Yuzhu chuckled as he left.
Both he and Lao Niu knew that the two were completely different.
He was unwilling to go to Shanghai, frankly speaking, partly because of the universities in Beijing.
Those school bigwigs all had a decent relationship with He Yuzhu.
If he were willing to spend money to hire those schools to do some research, they wouldn't try to fool him.
Furthermore, Beijing is his home turf.
He has the ability to fight anyone who tries to take the fruit. (End of Chapter)
