Chapter 2784

~10 min read 1,929 words

Zhou Andong was holding a pen and writing when he thought of installing the computer. The computer had been assembled and delivered several days ago, but the telecom company still hadn't come. That senior leader had promised him to talk to the telecom company, but he didn't know whether the leader had forgotten or the telecom people were stubborn and didn't take the leader seriously. Since it was like that, he wouldn't let them wear small shoes anymore; he would directly make them unable to wear shoes.

Zhou Andong picked up the phone and was about to dial when the office door was knocked. He stopped the dialing action and shouted: "Come in!"

Tang Wenjuan pushed the door open and entered: "Factory manager, the telecom people are here."

Zhou Andong snorted coldly, gently put down the phone: "Tell them I'm very busy now, let them come tomorrow."

"Okay!" Tang Wenjuan retreated.

Zhou Andong picked up a cigarette and lit one: "Since they came, it shows the senior leader talked to them. Since they talked, it's impossible to delay this long; they talked to the telecom yesterday.

That is to say, after the senior leader finished talking with him in the restaurant that day, he should have gone to find the telecom. Because the senior leader always attended meetings, it was impossible to have other time. So, the telecom coming today only has one reason: they want to drag it out to disgust him.

Thinking, Zhou Andong silently took a puff of cigarette, a faint cold smile appeared on his face. Since they wanted to drag it out to disgust him, but came today, there is only one explanation. That is, the senior leader issued an ultimatum and gave them a deadline. So, this should be the final date, and they had to come.

Zhou Andong stood up and went to the window, watching a white minivan drive out of the gate, exhaling a puff of smoke, muttering: "Since you don't come when I'm free, from today on, I will be busy every day."

Zhou Andong chuckled again: "I don't have network cables here, I can't go online, so my bet with the senior leader is naturally void. Since the bet is void, those two hundred computers definitely won't be delivered. I want to see who can outlast whom. Is it me being anxious, or you telecom people being anxious, or the senior leader being anxious?"

"Pa pa pa..."

Just as Zhou Andong was thinking, the office door was knocked again: "Come in!"

Tang Wenjuan gently pushed the door open and entered: "Factory manager, Mr. Ye Wen Gui is here."

"Let him in." Zhou Andong turned back and sat down at his desk.

Ye Wen Gui entered, holding a briefcase. Compared to his listless appearance yesterday, today he was radiant and full of spirit.

"Director Zhou, the contract is signed." Ye Wen Gui opened his briefcase, took out a document and placed it in front of Zhou Andong.

Zhou Andong opened the document, took it out and glanced at it. It was mainly about shares and amount, the same as what he said, no discrepancy. Of course, the investment of thirty-two million yuan, the contract must be a thick stack, and the obligations and breach of contract terms of both parties must be clear.

Ye Wen Gui said with a smile: "I prepared the contract, Qiudongfang looked at it and said it was not acceptable. This contract was prepared by Qiudongfang overnight, and we signed it this morning."

As a financial investment company, Qiudongfang has templates for contracts. No matter what investment, the contract content is roughly the same; just delete, fill, and modify. Otherwise, such a thick stack couldn't be prepared in one night.

"Is there no problem with the contract?" Zhou Andong said: "Have you read it carefully? If there are any objections, you can tell me now, and I will decide on modifications. But after you leave here, if you have any objections later, it won't work."

"I have read it." Ye Wen Gui nodded, actually he mainly looked at the shares and liability for breach, then signed: "I have no objections."

"Good!" Zhou Andong picked up a cigarette and threw one to Ye Wen Gui: "When are you leaving?"

After all, now it's a cooperative relationship, Ye Wen Gui is not as nervous as when he saw Zhou Andong yesterday. He took out a lighter from his pocket and lit the cigarette: "I have already booked tomorrow's flight ticket. I came here to learn from you. You said yesterday that electric vehicles can be developed and make money at the same time."

Zhou Andong laughed, took the last puff of cigarette, and pressed the butt into the ashtray: "Do you know how much domestic motorcycles cost now?"

Ye Wen Gui was stunned, not understanding why Zhou Andong suddenly asked about motorcycle prices, but still answered: "As far as I know, the cheapest domestic motorcycle should be Jianshe 50, now over three thousand yuan. Jincheng Suzuki, seven or eight thousand yuan a few years ago, now already risen to over ten thousand yuan. Yangguang 125 is nearly twenty thousand yuan, Haomai is around twenty-five thousand yuan."

"Have you thought about developing an electric bicycle?" Zhou Andong said in a light tone, but hearing it, Ye Wen Gui's heart was shaken.

Zhou Andong continued: "We don't lack battery, charging, and motor technology, and moreover, it's still technology leading globally. I think putting together an electric bicycle is not difficult."

Ye Wen Gui's eyes lit up like a light bulb, his face flushed, that was facial congestion caused by excitement: "As long as the battery and motor are miniaturized, it can be done, not difficult at all."

Zhou Andong laughed: "Even if Jianshe 50 motorcycle costs over three thousand yuan, few people are willing to spend that money, let alone motorcycles costing several thousand to tens of thousands. But electric bicycles are different, priced around one thousand yuan, most ordinary people can afford it and are willing to buy."

Ye Wen Gui's eyes were frighteningly bright, he rubbed his hands together: "I think a price of one thousand yuan is still high, around eight hundred yuan would be better. Bicycle, battery, motor, and charging supporting equipment, the cost is under three hundred yuan. If we have our own supporting factory, the cost can be further reduced."

Zhou Andong nodded: "Whether you look for a supporting factory or build it yourself, that's your decision, I don't care. But you must remember, electric bicycles need to set up a subsidiary, register an independent brand, absolutely must not be mixed with electric vehicles, using one brand."

"Why?" Ye Wen Gui said, not understanding: "Ye Feng Automobile's reputation is not small, using this name, electric bicycles will definitely become a hit."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "General Manager Ye, how much do you know about the brand concept?"

"Brand concept?" Ye Wen Gui frowned.

Before Ye Wen Gui could answer, Zhou Andong continued: "Simply put, if Ye Feng electric bicycles become known to every household, would you spend hundreds of thousands to buy so-called Ye Feng electric cars?"

Zhou Andong knows that in later generations, many famous motorcycle companies vigorously produced electric cars, using motorcycle brands. They thought relying on motorcycle brands, electric cars would also sell well, but in the end they lost as much as a grandson's.

Of course, there are also smart people, seeing this won't work, immediately changed direction, pulled investment to establish a new company, registered a new brand, and then really succeeded. According to Zhou Andong's knowledge, there are two very powerful electric vehicle brands, whose backers are a certain motorcycle company.

Ye Wen Gui pondered for a moment, feeling Zhou Andong made sense. For example, bicycles, Yongjiu is very famous, if Yongjiu made motorcycles, how many people would really spend several thousand yuan to buy Yongjiu motorcycles?

Zhou Andong tapped his fingers on the table: "Of course, if you really want to use the Ye Feng brand for electric bicycles, it's not impossible. In the future, electric vehicles need to be separated from the Ye Feng brand, establish a new company, and build a new brand."

Ye Wen Gui thought and said: "I think using the Ye Feng brand for electric bicycles is better, very beneficial for promotion. As for electric vehicles, that's for later; when the time comes, establishing a new company and building a new brand is also not difficult."

"Okay!" For such matters, Zhou Andong had no opinion: "What do you think, when can electric bicycles be developed?"

Ye Wen Gui said confidently: "Our technology has no problem, about two months. But if we want mass production, it will probably take about a year."

"You can first cooperate with bicycle factories, your production line can be gradually built." Zhou Andong said thoughtfully: "The main issue is the battery discharge problem at minus thirty degrees. As long as it's solved well, I will first order fifty thousand electric bicycles to support you."

Ye Wen Gui, upon hearing this, became even more spirited: "Director Zhou, are you serious?"

"I, Zhou Andong, speak with one spit, one nail." Zhou Andong said with a smile: "But, you must solve the problem well. At least, in the condition of minus thirty degrees, after one charge, it must be able to travel about forty kilometers."

Ye Wen Gui nodded heavily: "Director Zhou, I will definitely be able to do it."

"Then I will wait for your good news." Zhou Andong nodded: "Also, if the battery for electric vehicles can be made to run three hundred kilometers on one charge, I can also order fifty vehicles, used as taxis for operation, and also help you run data.

Of course, what you currently need to solve is still the battery discharge problem in winter. Because the rental vehicle operating environment is in Jiangzhou, when winter is coldest, it can reach minus twenty-plus degrees."

"I understand!" Ye Wen Gui pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, excitedly stood up, picked up the contract and put it into the briefcase: "Nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Go!" Zhou Andong stood up and sent Ye Wen Gui out of the office.

Ye Wen Gui hurriedly said: "Director Zhou, please stay."

Zhou Andong nodded and didn't send him off again. Ye Wen Gui felt his feet walking didn't touch the ground, as if he had been floating all the time. Cooperating with a big shot is damn great, can unconditionally give him a safety net. Electric bicycles don't even have a clue yet, but already sold fifty thousand units, who to reason with.

Seeing Ye Wen Gui disappear at the stairwell corner, Zhou Andong turned back to the office and then began to write his Ghost Blowing Lamp.

Chaoyang District, Yuxi Real Estate Jingcheng Branch!

Zhao Junmin pushed open the company door and walked in, behind him followed a thirty-seven or eight-year-old youth, not tall, looking somewhat bloated, face full of oil, this guy is Xue Wei, deputy manager of the Quality Inspection Department.

Along the way, this guy's heart was all uneasy. After all, having a ghost in the heart, not being afraid would be strange. Moreover, even if there is an important meeting, giving him a pager call or directly calling the construction site would work, why let the manager personally come to find him. So, this gives him a feeling: Zhao Junmin is not coming to find him to return to the meeting, but to watch him, afraid he will run away.
