Chapter 9: Trapped in a Solid State of Mind (Ch 823908506)

Although the blue and green factories are independent entities, they have a close relationship.
The blue and green factories can be described as brothers because they both have the same father.
Both companies originally belonged to BBK Corporation.
BBK is the most well-known electronic technology company in the early 21st century.
However, as the company developed, the original company gradually split into three different companies. The first one was this company which mainly engaged in educational electronic business.
The other two factories were the predecessors of the blue and green factories.
The Green Factory was originally a company that specialized in a series of audio-visual products such as VCDs and DVDs, while the Blue Factory was responsible for communications business.
However, later on, both of them turned their attention to the mobile phone business, and gradually became offline brand giants in their own way.
With the help of Tian Hongbo’s connections, Chen Tong quickly contacted the two manufacturers and the persons in charge of purchasing screen panels.
After a series of detailed discussions online, the two parties finally decided to have a more detailed discussion offline before deciding whether to cooperate.
“Fortunately, the two brands have some connection, so we don’t even need to travel too far to discuss cooperation!”
Chen Tong looked at the locations of the two companies’ headquarters and couldn’t help but sigh.
As the two giants of the future domestic mobile phone brand, their headquarters are actually located in the same city and town!
This kind of lingering relationship really gives people endless imagination.
Of course, the headquarters are very close to each other, which has many similarities with the layout of stores across the country.
As the saying goes, whether in the city or in the countryside, there must be a green factory store within a hundred meters of the blue factory store.
Looking at the two headquarters and then the two stores, everything makes sense.
The first place Chen Tong went to was the Blue Factory!
The Blue Factory headquarters is a comprehensive building whose main function is office use. It also carries out research and development of specialized communications and equipment.
[NPC: Chen Yu]
[Level: Double S-level supply chain talent!]
The person in charge of receiving Chen Tong was a woman in her early thirties, and what surprised Chen Tong was that the other party was also a double S-level talent.
Chen Tong has now met two double S-level talents, both of whom are over 40 years old.
The Ms. Chen Yu in front of him looked to be no more than 30 years old. It was very rare for her to become a double S-level talent at such a young age.
After all, people’s abilities and levels require a longer period of experience accumulation to reach a higher level, especially professionals in the field of scientific research and technology.
The fact that Chen Yu has such a high level rating at such a young age is enough to show that he has something special in some aspects.
“Hello, Mr. Chen, Manager Tian, ​​welcome to the Blue Factory…”
“Hello, Manager Chen…”
The two parties had already communicated online. After greeting each other, they came to the reception room of the Blue Factory under the leadership of Chen Yu.
After serving two cups of hot tea to Chen Tong and Tian Hongbo, Chen Yu motioned for them to wait for a moment, and then arranged for someone to take out the screen panel samples for testing.
The test results soon appeared in Chen Yu’s hands.
Chen Yu looked at the test data in front of him, but his expression did not change at all.
After a long while, Chen Yu slowly said, “Your company’s screen panel level has reached our company’s requirements, but I don’t know what your company’s production capacity is. Can you tell me a little bit?”
After hearing what Chen Yu said, Chen Tong was instantly delighted. It seemed that there was an opportunity for cooperation.
After thinking for a while, Chen Tong organized his words to give the other party a hint.
“The company’s current production capacity is about 700,000 screen panels per month at the minimum, but our company has already received an annual order of 3 million!”
Chen Tong answered Chen Yu slowly.
After listening to this, Chen Yu began to slowly calculate the remaining production capacity of Huateng Microelectronics.
At least 700,000 screen panels can be produced per month, and at least 8.5 million screen panels can be produced per year.
Excluding the orders for 3 million pieces, there will still be a production capacity of 5.5 million pieces left.
A production capacity of 5 million is considered the supply volume of a medium-sized screen panel manufacturer in the current market.
“Your company’s production capacity is still a little small for our company…” Chen Yu thought for a moment, and finally said slowly: “If your company’s production capacity can be increased to tens of millions, perhaps the two companies can reach a deeper cooperation!”
After hearing what Chen Yu said, Chen Tong felt a chill in his heart. Could it be that the business he had just obtained was going to be lost?
Just when Chen Tong was worried about the cooperation, he suddenly seemed to find something wrong in his mind.
Wait! I seem to have been stuck in a fixed state of thinking.
I have been thinking about how to upgrade the factory, but I didn’t realize that I can build Lv1 factories in large quantities.
Huateng Microelectronics Company has been unable to construct additional buildings due to the company’s own area constraints, which made Chen Tong unaware that it could build other factories.
According to the data given now, it is actually not particularly difficult to build a new Lv2 factory.
First, you can buy land or acquire other factories, which is expected to cost several million.
After the factory is built, it can be upgraded, and the cost will be five million.
Ten production lines can be installed at the same time, and the cost of ten production lines capable of producing Lv2 screen panels is approximately six million.
Of course, these are only what can be done in an ideal world. Although you have been bound to the game, you actually have to abide by the rules of reality.
If a company wants to expand its factory, it must go through the approval procedures, and after the approval, the project needs to be established.
It seems that building the factory foundation will also cost a huge amount of money. Chen Tong estimates that it will cost about 20 million to open a new factory.
There are two ways to open a new factory now. The first is to acquire other factories. The biggest advantage of this method is that it is cheap.
As for the second method, it is to buy land near the company and expand the factory through project approval. The biggest problem with this method is that it takes time to wait.
This method can gather the company’s factories together. The biggest advantage of this method is that it can facilitate the company’s management of the factories.
Secondly, resource costs can be shared, and infrastructure such as water, electricity, and gas can be shared, saving the costs of other building construction.
This can also improve production efficiency, reduce transportation time and costs, and form an industrial cluster effect.
Furthermore, if an industrial park or industrial cluster can be built near one’s company, regional support can be obtained.
In general, the benefits of building a factory near an existing company far outweigh those of acquiring other factories.
Chen Tong had a clear mind and he knew very well that the second method was the one that was in line with the company’s long-term development plan.
