K City Weisen Automation Co., Ltd., wholly owned by Weisen Technology, is a company whose main business is the production of precision automatic lines and the agency for advanced automatic production lines of the headquarters United Technologies Corporation.
This company currently only has one product, an automatic line for bearing production, which uses a three-level intelligent pure software simulation core s3. However, the operating efficiency is only 10% higher than similar foreign automatic lines, and the price is only 70% of the same kind in Japan. It's called the automatic line, but it's actually a comprehensive manufacturing solution. The internal code is s3 bearing manufacturing expert system, not the automatic line. The officially launched production line is very well disguised, its operation method is not much different from that of a common automatic production line, and it is excellent in terms of user-friendliness.
The equipment of this automatic production line can be sold individually. The design is exquisite, the precision is high, the failure rate is extremely low, and the supply channels for accessories are smooth. Even better, the more you buy, the less worry you have. Not long after it was launched, it was welcomed by many small factories, and orders were queued up until August. Xiao Xiaoxiao used to like making small toys, but now he likes making big toys. He is the chief steward of the Wesson Automation Workshop and is busy all day long.
The reason why Lizhuang dared to launch this kind of automatic line is because similar products have just appeared on the market, both Japanese and German. Wesson Technology's products are sandwiched in the middle and will not attract attention.
The subsequent transmission parts production equipment is under development and has received support from major laboratories within the company. The progress is very fast. Of course, any laboratory that helps can get technical support dividends.
Li Zhuang has always been worried that Director Yang will cause trouble for him. Although he mentioned this before, Director Yang was noncommittal, which made him a little worried. He didn't expect that Director Yang and Jay Chou would come to the door in person today.
"Two bosses, why are you here?" Li Zhuang had something on his mind and had to pretend to be humble.
"Haha, Xiao Li, don't be nervous. I'm not here to cause trouble for you. Lao Zhou is coming over, and I happen to be free, so I came to see you. The automatic line I am equipped with is not available on the market, so I have to thank you. Taking care of them cannot block your path to wealth. Besides, you still have thousands of people to support." Director Yang is very open-minded.
"Haha, thank you, Director Yang, for understanding. Why is Director Jay here?" In Li Zhuang's impression, Director Zhou rarely came to see him in person. After all, he was an old man and didn't like to run around.
"Gong Li, I came here today for two things. One is to thank you for letting my useless son Zhou Bin turn around and solve my problem; the other is to ask about electric cars. I am not familiar with Mr. Zhou. Besides, he is a high-level intellectual, so I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to talk to him.¡±
"Chou is polite. Brother Bin has a good foundation, but there may be some problems with your previous direction. He doesn't like to be a businessman, so he has to hang around. This is not my credit. Electric cars? I don't know when they will become popular. , but the research and development of high-power motors cannot be delayed. If you are not prepared in the early stage, there will be no chance later. This patent is intensive, and the domestic level is very average. You have to pay more attention. I predict that the hybrid era will come soon, good motors There will always be a market.¡±
Li Zhuang¡¯s words sound very reasonable. Hybrid power takes into account the advantages of both fuel vehicles and electric vehicles. Although the power management system and transmission system are more complex, there is no perfect structure in the world unless there is a huge technological leap forward, but that is impossible. The promotion of any new technology takes time, and relevant companies and practitioners also need to adjust. Too rapid technological progress is not a good thing, as it will leave a lot of people without food and cause hatred.
Director Zhou nodded and turned to another topic. Li Zhuang was shocked.
"I have a friend who wants to make electric cars and invited me to become a shareholder. Do you think it's feasible? Policies are now very liberal. Although it's still not possible nationwide, it's still easy to get it done locally."
"Are you sure? There are many problems in the automobile industry. The interests are complicated and it is difficult to obtain a license plate. If you decide to make an electric vehicle, we can provide technical support here to avoid having to tangle with the provincial automobile companies. They It¡¯s too much.¡±
"Since I said it, of course I have an idea. Haha, the license issue can save the country. There are many companies in this area. I just came to sit here today. I have nothing to do. I know you are busy, so we will leave first."
"Then you're welcome. You two should go slowly." Li Zhuang stood up and sent the two of them out of the door. Just as he was about to turn around, Director Yang grabbed him, came closer and whispered: "Xiao Li, you brought the last one." Can we use that thing?"
Li Zhuang didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. Comrade Lao Yang had a good memory, so he held out a finger.
"10 million? No, it can't be 100 million, right?" Director Yang couldn't believe it.
"One hundred million dollars, my big boss, that thing is very expensive."
Li Zhuang¡¯s words made Old Yang tremble with fear, ¡°Is it really that expensive?¡±
"Yes, you can't buy it yet. What I'm giving you is an internal premium."price. "
Looking at Comrade Lao Yang who was running away and Comrade Lao Zhou who was asking for details, Li Zhuang was amused, and he was wondering how much this thing would sell for if it became popular in the future. The lf4 hardware costs 20 million, and the software costs 40 million, which adds up to 60 million. However, based on the complexity, it should not be expensive to sell for 100 million U.S. dollars. This is a high-tech job.
Li Zhuang is not a qualified businessman. He thinks he has a dark heart, but he never expected that in a few years there would be people who were many times darker than him.
The visit of Director Yang and Director Zhou should not be that simple. Li Zhuang can conclude that the company may be involved in more troubles in the future.
"The balance of internal interests is easier to handle, but the balance of external interests is really difficult." Li Zhuang was lying on the sofa thinking about it, without a clue, "Forget it, let Zhou Qisen and Zhang Kai handle it. They are good at this and can Lose face."
Zhou Qisen is a master in handling foreign affairs. It is no accident that he became the deputy director of a large firm after running around. In this regard, he is no less than the new vice president Wu Wg.
Thinking of Wu Wg, Li Zhuang couldn't help but feel happy. This old boy can read, but can't do research. The dignified double doctoral degree holder from a prestigious university can't hold back the many young people in the laboratory. This guy is not a nerd, but has a very flexible mind. After the company entered the manufacturing industry, Dr. Wu's job scope was changed to be responsible for the transformation of research results and coordinating the interest issues arising from complex cross-research within the company. This area is very complex and requires someone at the vice president level to take charge. Zhang Kai is not very good at this. If he were put in charge, he would definitely be in trouble. Dr. Wu successfully found his own position and made the balance of interests within the company perfect, which was an unexpected gain.
The external balance is much more difficult, especially when it comes to the relationship with Li Zhuang. How can smart people like Zhou Qisen and Zhang Kai offend his connections? Besides, these people are not easy to offend.
Wesen Technology is an enterprise focused on research and development. Currently, various laboratories have undertaken a large number of entrusted research and development orders, with a total amount of up to 2 billion yuan. This company has become a bit of a celebrity in a short time, with mid-range prices, fast delivery, very linear upgrades, and very thoughtful ideas.
There are a large number of medium-sized enterprises in China. The R&D capabilities of these companies are not strong enough and they basically have no core technologies. Once major projects are involved, they are often tied up. When Li Zhuang originally thought of establishing Wesson Technology, it was related to this general environment. Not everyone wants to copycat. Price competition is very effective, but vicious competition can easily hurt both sides.
The equipment manufacturing industry is a high-profit, high-investment, high-tech industry. There are not many local forces in K City interested, not none, but they are concentrated in high-profit, low-investment parts. This is not a non-payment, let the company supervise They have a headache. Zhou Qisen finally made the decision and compromised, but the cost of technical support was indispensable, so we couldn't make this a bad start.
With regard to the complete set of lithium battery technologies, the New Energy Laboratory lithium battery project team has a comprehensive technical reserve. There are many people who are interested, but they either cannot believe it or are picky and picky. Ever since Li Zhuang told Li Hui last time, there have been constant troubles. The technical catalogs sent to relevant people have either been leaked, or they have frequently gone to the company to intercede.
Wesen Technology is established in Lizhuang's hometown, which is convenient for doing things but also has a lot of troubles. Fortunately, it is still within the controllable range.
"If Jay Chou and others establish an electric car company, they have to think carefully about how to balance their interests with other customers. It is impossible to specialize in their business. This is not in line with business principles and cannot make a lot of money."
Zhou Qisen frowned and said this at the management meeting, and Li Zhuang thought it was true. It seems necessary to upgrade the business office to a business department. Although Wang Zhijie is very good, he is limited by his professional background. He has a chemistry major and there is not much he can manage. The company must take the path of sales engineers in the future. Ordinary salesmen cannot cope with a business system that focuses on R&D and high-tech products.
Clear rights and responsibilities and scientific management are important features of the modern enterprise system. Clear rights and responsibilities are easy to handle, and the knowledge of scientific management is very deep. How Wesson Technology will be managed in the future has always been an important topic for high-level discussions. There are many R&D companies, but there are not many special companies like Wesson Technology. Most of them are small and easy to manage.
If you want to block the many sweethearts, you must first establish a rule. What should I do?
"How about we use the old-fashioned method of auctioning it within the circle of friends, and the highest bidder will get it, and transfer the trouble to them internally?" Wang Zhijie came up with an idea.
"What if they join forces? The price won't be high." Zhang Kai asked.
"It's simple. We first make an evaluation based on the market price and establish a minimum price. Anyway, it's a related customer. It's not a big problem if there is more or less. In the future, technical support will cut some meat from them, and we can keep upgrading. They are like this Non-professionals,?As the company's rivals, how can they know how much a certain technology costs? Maybe you would like to thank us for selling him. "
Wang Zhijie laughed after saying this. His move sounded good. As long as the price was lower than the market price, the related customers could not say that the company was unkind.
"What do you think?" Li Zhuang asked several supervisors.
"I think it can be done. If you don't object, just do it, otherwise there will be more trouble in the future." Zhou Qisen said.
Everyone whispered among themselves and decided to do as Wang Zhijie said. From now on, this will be the system in the relationship circle. Of course, good things will be given priority to them.
When Li Zhuang returned to the office, he thought of what happened at today's meeting. What did it look like? Joint meeting! "Yes, it is a joint meeting. Even if the company develops in the future, the joint meeting can effectively control the company's operations, increase the weight of the consulting team, and reduce the arbitrariness of supervisors. At the same time, it can solve the complex management of future business departments and reduce Pressure from supervisors, this should be the best way to manage a company like Wesson Technology."
Li Zhuang was very happy that he had found a solution, but then he thought about the delays of several automobile companies in the provincial capital, and felt that a new laboratory should be established to provide a full set of technical solutions without the need to cooperate with other companies.
