Chapter 49 Love and Power
"Twenty thousand yuan has brought us a harmonious life as a couple and a clean and hygienic living environment for our children. Thanks to Jiuzhou Technology."
The product is selling well and has a huge reputation. These are obviously two wonderful things, but when it comes to Gu Qing at the moment, it makes him extremely uncomfortable.
Because of the fermentation of word-of-mouth, a large number of consumers came to grab orders. The customer service department was already busy. Basically everyone had to deal with more than ten or twenty users at the same time. However, many people were not looking for trouble, but really wanted to buy the product.
"Take my money and give me a chance, now!"
Boss Gu reluctantly rejected these people who came to give money.
It's not that he doesn't want to expand production anymore, but that he simply has no funds...
The industrial robots installed through continuous overtime work cost several million, and the money in the account, which was not much, was immediately emptied.
However, Dong Qi did not reject Gu Qing's decision at that time. Due to the production process, manual production is saturated. The core components of each robot and the modification of the robotic arm require the participation of industrial robots.
So now people in the research lab are basically working overtime to maintain industrial robots, deal with technical issues, and maximize productivity. The workers at the back are more responsible for simpler assembly and packaging.
2017 and 2018 were the two years when consumers had the strongest consumption desire. The little tiger Jiuzhou Technology entered the smart home and only bit into a small piece of meat.
Both traditional major manufacturers and major mobile phone manufacturers are beginning to lay out smart ecological homes.
Because of the National Day holiday promotion, Jiuzhou Technology Company has gained a small foothold in the home appliance industry.
Naturally, Xishu University and surrounding cooperating universities also knew that a ferocious beast had been hatched in the Entrepreneurship Incubator Park.
School leaders and relevant department personnel were also delighted.
For the school, it has a good reputation. In the future, Jiuzhou Technology Company will be a good sign for external publicity. For relevant departments, an industry with a large amount of labor and successful cases of college students' entrepreneurship can also be included in
report.
But the happiness of outsiders does not affect the thoughts inside.
In mid-October, the factory was still spinning and ramping up production, but orders were already keeping pace with production speed.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the office floor of Jiuzhou Technology Company in the Entrepreneurship Incubator Park welcomed a group of familiar and unfamiliar people.
The familiar ones are the leaders, Gu Qing and Mr. Gu.
What was unfamiliar was the group of people behind him, including middle-aged people wearing glasses, workers in work clothes, and graduates who looked very young.
Gu Qing led the factory management and research team members not to enter the company's office area.
However, Dong Qi, Peng Bo, Huang Chaoren and several team leaders from the office area also came out.
"Everyone is here, let's have a meeting downstairs!"
The conference room where several mobile phone manufacturers were bidding last time had another group of people come today, but the person standing at the top remained the same.
Gu Qing glanced at everyone, nodded in greeting, and then said: "We have received the first big holiday promotion. We have gained a lot, but it has also exposed the Endor problem.
So today, the main purpose of forcing everyone to come to the meeting is to talk to you about our current problems and solutions.
A few months ago, when our company was first established, we entered into cooperation agreements with the three major mobile phone manufacturers and obtained the first large amount of funds. However, everyone knows that this is the profit brought by my personal technology and not by others.
Worth to talk about.
At that time, I took out this capital to invest in the smart home appliance industry.
Fortunately, the founding partners agreed with my seemingly impulsive and immature decision.
We are also very fortunate that we finally got a factory where we can display our talents, mature technical workers, as well as management and R&D personnel."
Gu Qing's words made the atmosphere in the conference room much more relaxed, but Luo Songtang's brows furrowed.
A meeting cannot be all about handing out prizes. If you say good things at the beginning, they will definitely be for the bad side in the end.
As expected, Gu Qing saw everyone relaxed and said immediately: "But in this holiday promotion, I also saw a lot of areas that need improvement.
The first one is the regional issue.
The office area of the incubator is very comfortable, with low rent and convenient transportation, but the area is too small, security is not strict, and there is no room for development.
The manufacturing plant has a wide area, tight security, and plenty of room for development, but transportation is inconvenient.
If something happens in the production process, or consumers encounter problems with machines, office staff and customer service cannot communicate in time to solve the problem, and there will always be discrepancies through remote communication.
As well as the financial separation between the factory finance and the office area here.
So the first issue that needs to be resolved in today’s meeting is how to handle the relationship between the two, whether to merge the company into one, or to continue to separate the two places.”
…
The conference room suddenly became a little dull.
It may seem like a change of office location, but there are a lot of twists and turns involved.
The simplest aspect is that the management of the incubator park office area has moved to a suburban factory. How should the rights be divided?
Is it that Dong Qi, the vice president, has an additional subordinate of the factory director, or does the factory director have an additional competitor?
"Our design department is adaptable to the situation, and we can stay in the suburbs or in the city."
Bloomberg expressed his stance, but few people took his attitude seriously.
There are only a few people in the design department...and they don't have much power.
Huang Chaoren looked at everyone and saw that Gu Qing's expression was half-smiling. He swallowed and said: "Our operations department should have the most people here in the incubator, but they are basically young people. If we move to a suburban factory,
I’m afraid everyone’s commuting time is too long, which could easily lead to instability in the military.”
This statement is also true. The current generation born in the 1990s is not as "hard-working" as the older generation. The work is uncomfortable, the commuting time is too long, and it is easy for them to be fired from the company.
Moreover, as the largest group in the company, the navy has also contributed a lot to the company. If they do this now, they may really lose their morale and resign.
"As for the commuting issue, the subway line will be opened in a few months. It will only take half an hour from the factory to the city, and the customer service department can be retained in the incubator. At that time, our factory will take turns to arrange technical personnel to come here as consultants
If you come here to take charge, if you have difficult technical problems, you can solve them at any time."
After Gu Qing finished speaking, Huang Chaoren had nothing to say.
Luo Songtang still had no expression, staring at the table and chairs in front of him, as if he was meditating.
From time to time, other people's eyes would wander a little, scanning Dong Qi who was sitting in front.
In the quiet conference room, it was as if I could hear the breathing of others.
