Hearing this, Zhang Xiaocheng felt regretful that Li Dongling didn't join the Component Factory, but he didn't feel too surprised. Zhou Wenyang, Zhang Ao, and the others looked at Li Dongling, all wanting to speak but stopping.

"Going to sea" was a special term for people of this era. Whether it was personnel in public institutions or government departments, or perhaps college students, ordinary people, etc., there were news of people earning billions of net worth by "going to sea".

But more people couldn't kill their way out in the turbulent business sea and finally sank to the bottom of the sea. Not only did they not earn money, but they also owed a debt and couldn't turn over for the rest of their lives.

Liu Jiande transferring Li Dongling away from the Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1 was an "assist" to Li Dongling, letting Li Dongling borrow a chicken to lay eggs, and by borrowing the satellite dish project of the Shangguan Town Component Factory, he earned his first pot of gold. Now he was "assisting" Li Dongling for the second time!

However, what was going on with Liu Jiande's assist, and the matter of Qin Fang on the day he reported, Li Dongling had to find out clearly and then "repay" the other party well.

For Li Dongling leaving the Wireless Factory No. 1 and wanting to stand on his own and establish his own company, Zhou Wenyang, Zhang Ao, and the others weren't surprised. The satellite dish project was proposed by Li Dongling, and from design to technology to sales, it was almost all manipulated by Li Dongling single-handedly. He just borrowed the hands of Zhang Xiaocheng and the Component Factory.

They didn't know how much money Li Dongling could get from this project, but just the bonuses and commissions they had taken in these days were so much. How could Li Dongling earn less?

"Old Li, you have to take care of us in the future. If there's anything good, you have to think of your brothers!"

Zhang Ao still said in that dissolute tone, but after finishing, he still said to Li Dongling, "If there's anything you need me for, just open your mouth."

Zhang Ao actually also wanted to venture out, especially in these days, he led Fan Xugang and others to form a sales department and went everywhere to promote satellite dishes. Although he earned a lot of commission, looking at the large sums of money passing through their hands, it was absolutely impossible to say that he wasn't tempted at all.

If Li Dongling established a company and could launch a second project like the satellite dish, then following him would definitely earn a big sum. But how it would turn out, no one knew. Plus, Zhang Ao was now somewhat reluctant to give up the commission from the satellite dishes.

He was prepared to lead Fan Xugang and others to open up the market outside the province. Selling one order, he could get a large commission. Leaving now, he was really reluctant.

Zhou Wenyang looked at Li Dongling. Compared to Zhang Ao, he wanted stability even more. Such a rebellious thing as leaving a state-owned factory, he really couldn't do it. Although he was driven out of the Wireless Factory No. 1, he was blessed by misfortune. The current Component Factory was much better than the Wireless Factory No. 1, and he could also be the director of the production section of the Component Factory. Letting him leave here to follow Li Dongling to try his luck, he really couldn't do it.

"There will be opportunities!"

Li Dongling said to Zhang Ao with a smile. He felt that in the future, there would indeed be a need for Zhang Ao. Zhang Ao did have the talent for sales, being uninhibited and bold, and could get along with anyone, and his brain was also smart. In this era, especially when the Internet hadn't been popularized, no matter what was sold, a sales team was indispensable.

Doing sales in these years, one not only had to know how to observe words and colors, but also be indomitable after being rejected. The key was also to deal with all kinds of troubles. Robbers on the road, road bandits, thieves, etc., were not uncommon.

Doing sales not only required selling things, but also facing these situations. Ordinary people couldn't do this.

Being able to sell things, the sales personnel could earn a lot of commission, and their lives were much more nourishing than ordinary people. But if something went wrong, sometimes they could even get themselves involved.

No matter what Li Dongling did in the future, he had to build his own sales team and establish sales channels. Even if he played the Internet, like Boss Ma's Ali, in the early stage, it was also relying on a group of sales personnel wearing T-shirts and riding motorcycles or even bicycles to go door-to-door to pull orders before they survived the most difficult period.

Li Dongling and Zhang Xiaocheng came to the office. Li Dongling knew what Zhang Xiaocheng wanted to say and said directly, "I will continue to cooperate with the Shangguan Town Component Factory on the satellite dish project. It's just that in the future, the one who will connect with the Component Factory will be the Dongling High-Tech Company!"

Dongling High-Tech was the company Li Dongling had established before and signed an agreement with the Component Factory.

Now the satellite dishes were in a period of explosion, and they could bring Li Dongling a large amount of dividends every day. How could he let go?

"That's good. With your words, Dongling, I can rest assured!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaocheng let out a long sigh of relief. It looked like he was the factory manager of the Component Factory, but the satellite dish project was all manipulated by Li Dongling single-handedly. He was responsible for running errands. If Li Dongling let go of this project, with such a big plate of satellite dishes right now, he was really worried that it would collapse.

The vehicles at the gate of the Component Factory were endless, and even at night, it was brightly lit. The entire Component Factory had currently adopted a two-shift system, and there were employees working overtime at night to assemble satellite dishes, but it was still in short supply.

Especially in the surrounding Shangzhong, Yu City, and even the provincial capital Xiyuan, distributors had begun to bring satellite dishes over to test the water. The satellite dish market in the entire Hanxi Province began to explode comprehensively. No matter how many satellite dishes the Component Factory produced every day, it couldn't meet the demand at all. Foreign distributors all paid first and then could get the goods after a period of time!

Distributors in the provincial capital brought the satellite dishes over, and the selling price started at four hundred yuan, but it was still sold hotly because there were no competitors at all. This made the satellite dishes there, even if the price was constantly raised, still sellable, which made distributors from all walks of life even more eager to get goods from the Component Factory.

The orders received alone had already queued up to nearly 60,000. If Zhang Ao and the others opened up the market outside the province, the number of orders would probably double!

At this time, the Component Factory had already attracted the attention of Shangguan Town and Pingyang municipal departments. It was difficult not to pay attention. A monthly revenue of nearly 9 million, and it might double next month. If it weren't for the production capacity limiting sales, the Component Factory might have exploded a big news this year!

The forty acres of land next to the Component Factory had been specially approved by Shangguan Town to the Component Factory. The villagers whose land was requisitioned, in addition to getting a compensation of several thousand yuan, were recruited into the Component Factory and became formal employees, eating national grain in the future. For these villagers, this was much stronger than their farming. If it weren't for the fact that the Component Factory didn't need so much land, the surrounding villagers would have wanted to have their land requisitioned by the Component Factory.

The construction team invited began to dig foundations and level the ground. Because the money was given in time, the construction speed was very fast. After the ground was leveled, they would directly build a simple factory building. At the latest, by the middle of next month, they could directly start construction here to increase the production capacity of the satellite dishes.

At the end of the month, the Component Factory had its first dividend, and Li Dongling also got a dividend of about 600,000!

Riding a bicycle, Li Dongling passed through the streets and alleys of Pingyang City. Bicycles were like a stream on the street, and pedestrians were not in a hurry. The pace of life for people in this era was not fast.

These streets, for Li Dongling, were both familiar and strange. These streets existed in Li Dongling's memory before, and later the entire urban area was almost all demolished and built into buildings.

Passing through the Cultural Palace where many men and women gathered, there was a roller skating rink inside, which was a place for leisure and entertainment for many men and women now. Opposite was the largest clothing city in Pingyang now, which was extremely lively every weekend.

Li Dongling came to the Changqing Road behind. This road became the gathering place for many companies in Pingyang in later generations. Although there weren't as many buildings as in later generations now, there were also many local Pingyang companies that chose to work here. Of course, now it was mainly state-owned enterprises, and there were also foreign companies that set up offices here.

Li Dongling entered Changqing Road. When he arrived at No. 25 Changqing Road, a young man wearing sunglasses, leaning on a motorcycle and posing, and swallowing clouds and fog, immediately waved to Li Dongling.

"Is it Li Ge? I'm Gao Peng. You can just call me Old Gao!"

Li Dongling looked at Gao Peng a few times. This person was introduced to Li Dongling by Zhang Ao. It was said that he was quite well-informed in Pingyang. If he wanted to handle some things related to municipal departments, or find something, for ordinary things, finding this guy would be successful eight or nine times out of ten. His father was from the municipal office.

"Zhang Ao and I are buddies. We are all our own people. I will definitely help you handle things well!" Gao Peng patted his chest and said.

"How about this building? I ran through the entire Pingyang City to find this building according to your requirements, Li Ge. This building was the office of the original Machinery Factory No. 2. It's a two-story office building, and there are several courtyards behind it, which were the places where the original employees rested..."
