When he woke up, Brother Jun still ate and drank as usual as usual. From time to time, he joked with Zhou Liwen, as if nothing had happened last night. Of course, Zhou Liwen would not foolishly mention buying a drama film. After breakfast, Brother Jian had arrangements with the municipal party committee today, but he left Secretary Jin to accompany them and asked Zhou Liwen and the others how to arrange it. Zhou Liwen thought about it and decided to go to the assembly factory to take a look.

Brother Jun had nothing to do anyway, so he simply accompanied Zhou Liwen to take a trip. He called Sha Bing and left the hotel in a car arranged by Secretary Jin. Heijiang City was not big and the traffic was not as crowded as the south. It took them only half an hour to get to the place.

"Jay Jay!"

The Shamill and several people who had been waiting at the door and the assembly factory saw the government license coming, and quickly jogged all the way. When Zhou Liwen got off the car, Shamill greeted him respectfully.

"Is this our assembly factory?" Zhou Liwen stood there and looked around. This place was quite large. In addition to a few white-topped and blue-walled factories, there was also a large open space around. At a rough look, the area was estimated to be about 20 acres, which was much larger than Sha Zihao's factory.

"Yes, the city has purchased a total of 23 acres of land. Jay Chou, the land behind is also owned by our factory. According to the plan, two more workshops will be built there in the future."

Looking in the direction pointed by Shabing, Zhou Liwen nodded slightly. However, looking at the simpler factory, Zhou Liwen frowned and asked, "This factory should be of a steel frame structure, right? The temperature here in Heijiang is low, so it's okay to use this structure?"

"Please rest assured that we have laid heating in the workshop. Although this structure is made of steel frames, there is absolutely no problem with sealing and warmth. In fact, this structure is used a lot in our Northeast China, and even the oil fields are widely used." A middle-aged man standing next to Shabing explained.

"This is our deputy director of production, Huo Minghua, deputy director of production," Sha Bing introduced.

"Hello, Deputy Director Huo, we used to call, and this is the first time we met." Zhou Liwen shook hands with him with a smile. Huo Minghua held Zhou Liwen's hand in both hands and said something. Then Sha Bing introduced the other two to Zhou Liwen one by one. These people were Sha Bing's deputy and were all senior executives in the factory.

After a few words with everyone, Jun Ge looked a little bored. After a while, he couldn't help but urge Zhou Liwen to say that the weather outside was very cold, and it would not be too late to enter the factory if you have anything to say. Zhou Liwen nodded with a smile, let Shabing lead the way, and the group walked straight to the factory.

After entering the factory, I was indeed told by Deputy Director Huo that the heating inside was not as good as a hotel, but it was very comfortable. The factory now has three large workshops, each of which has two assembly lines, which adds up to six assembly lines. Hundreds of assembly workers are busy working, one after another assembled finished mobile phone after the assembly line was taken down and the final test was finally tested. The machine in question was picked out and put aside, and the rest were sent to the packaging workshop for packaging and packaging.

After looking around, although the workers here are not as good as factories in the Southeast in terms of proficiency and work enthusiasm, the overall management is still good, and the assembly speed and packaging requirements are basically up to the requirements. Moreover, since the labor costs in Heijiang are low, the overall cost is cheaper than in the Southeast.

After looking at the workshop and asking about the current monthly production, Zhou Liwen is generally very satisfied with the work of syrup. However, with the rapid development of the mobile phone market, Zhou Liwen is already considering adding assembly lines. With the emergence of Orz mobile phones, the functions are better than most foreign brand mobile phones, and the sales of Orz mobile phones with relatively low prices continue to grow. In order to meet market demand, Zhou Liwen has added several orders from American chip factories alone. Compared with chip systems, assembly of machine is the most important part of production. According to the current sales situation, the sales volume this year may reach about 30 million units, which has long exceeded Zhou Liwen's original budget.

This is just a 2G mobile phone, the more fierce 3G mobile phone, that is, the smartphone trend has not yet begun. The research institute has made good progress in the development of smartphones. According to Liao Yuancheng, the smartphone will be initially established in the first half of next year. When the smartphone appears, the entire mobile phone market will usher in a wave again. Zhou Liwen knows more than anyone that the potential of smartphones is much greater than that of 2G mobile phones. It is not surprising that this market will expand ten times or even hundreds of times, for example.

Foxconn, I'm afraid people have heard of this name in 2014. This company, which started out as an OEM, focuses on IT products and manufactures OEMs for well-known brands, especially the famous Apple phones, including tablets, etc. With this simple OEM business alone, Foxconn has become the 371st-ranked company in the Fortune 500. The large scale of its OEM factories and the number of employees employed is simply stunning.

Zhou Liwen remembers visiting Foxconn in his previous life. He hired as many as 400,000 employees at the Foxconn factory in the southeast alone. The entire factory covers an area of ​​3 square kilometers, almost like a small developed city. Entering it is like being in a concentrated small society.

Compared with Foxconn in later generations, although Zhou Liwen's current assembly factory is already a large-scale enterprise in Heijiang City, it is impossible to compare the two at all. Zhou Liwen knows the importance of OEM to a well-known brand more than others, so he has never stopped developing OEM and assembly factory, whether in the southeast or in Heijiang.

Of course, these are just preliminary plans. At present, Zhou Liwen should be more at ease with these factories in order to ensure product quality. However, from a long-term plan, to a certain extent, Zhou Liwen will appropriately give up the shares of these assembly factories and instead invest more energy in more important places.

Although doing OEM can make money, it is too cumbersome for management and production. Moreover, Zhou Liwen doesn’t want to be criticized for OEM and Foxconn’s jumping off the building in the future. He will give up part of the profit appropriately, relax himself, and gain a good reputation. Why not do this?

Zhou Liwen, the assembly factory in Heijiang, is currently the largest shareholder, and the remaining shares are in the hands of Sha Zihao, Wei Zi and Junge. However, except for Sha Zihao, Wei Zi and Junge's shares can be basically negligible. As shareholders, they only share dividends.

Sha Zihao sent Sha Jing to Heijiang, and this was for Zhou Liwen's opinion. However, Zhou Liwen also knew that Sha Zihao used Sha Jing to manage the factory's small abacus. After all, Sha Zihao started his career in a factory. Out of his mentality and habits, he valued much more about the industry like the factory than others. Zhou Liwen did not expose his plan and arranged Sha Jing to this position with the flow.

Just as Zhou Liwen originally planned, he was planning to gradually withdraw from the factory's holdings in one to two years. Since Sha Zihao was interested in the factory, it would be a good choice to hand over the factory shares to him. However, after yesterday's incident, Zhou Liwen had some other plans in his mind. When Sha Bing and the others were resting in the factory office, Zhou Liwen asked Jun's opinion on the factory with a smile.

"It's very good, I look pretty good." Brother Jun replied casually while drinking tea. He walked around the factory casually. Although he couldn't tell the name, he could still see that the whole factory was in order.

"Yesterday, Brother Jian asked me about investing in Heijiang, do you still remember?" Zhou Liwen lit a cigarette and asked.

"Remember, why? You made a decision so quickly? Didn't you say you planned to check the situation in Heijiang first?" Brother Jun looked up unexpectedly.

"The situation still needs to be determined, but it is to help others to see it, which is to give Jian Ge some investment." Zhou Liwen explained: "As for my own investment, it is mainly this factory. You were also there when I was talking to Xiaosha and the others just now. The production capacity of the assembly factory needs to be further expanded. I carefully considered it. If it is only for assembly, this step will be smaller. If possible, I plan to directly mention this factory to the size of the OEM factory with production and assembly functions based on the current assembly factory. What do you think?"

"I don't know what kind of production is. Do you ask me if I'm not playing the piano with a cow?" Brother Jun immediately laughed: "Anyway, you are a good businessman, and I certainly don't object to it if you don't lack money. And if Brother Jian knows about this, he will be very unhappy."

"Haha, that's true." Zhou Liwen immediately smiled and then asked: "By the way, Brother Jun, there is no problem with my additional investment. I want to ask you and Brother Wei's intentions. After all, you two are also shareholders of this factory."

"Wei Zi's side is definitely fine. He has made a lot of money this year, but I'm just..." Brother Jun shook his head in embarrassment. He is now a donkey dung egg and is so poor that he can't even open a film and television company. Where can he have any money to invest?

"No money now does not mean there is no money in the future. I said to Brother Jun, don't forget that there will be a dividend after New Year's Day. Besides, this factory does not need to be fully implemented in one step. At worst, I will put the assembly on you first, right?"

Brother Jun smiled and didn't say anything. He knew that this was Zhou Liwen's kindness. As for dividends, except for Wei Zi's mobile phone sales, he had few shares in the factory. Even if there was dividends, how much could he have? I'm afraid that this amount of money can only be maintained by his film and television company.

"Thank you brother, let's see it then. There is no hurry to do this anyway." Brother Jun said this at the end, and Zhou Liwen didn't persuade him much. After hearing this, he just smiled and nodded.
