Chapter 213 Grabbing the Market

"I think it's not going to happen anymore...ah, there's one more thing!" Boss Lin patted his head, feeling distressed about whether he was aging before he got old. "Look at my memory, I'm still thinking about telling you about this in the morning."

"I knew it was like this," Tan Na had long been accustomed to Lin Zheng's "good memory" and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I heard from the news from the United States that it seems that Dell Computer Company and Paq Computer Company intend to stop cooperation with current OEM partners and instead seek new OEM partners. I heard that Foxconn, a subsidiary of Hon Hai Group in Wandao, is very interested in this business. I wonder if we can snatch this business from Foxconn. If you think about this, we will communicate on the phone."

Tan Na's eyes stared at the boss, "Dell and Paq plan to replace their OEM manufacturer? Why don't I know?"

"I just knew that I thought so. While we were in the New Year, we would make a feasible plan. Didn't Angieber come on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year? With Texas Instruments' position in the American technology industry, their company must have a lot of cooperative relationships with Dell and Paq. If Angieber can recommend us to Dell and Paq at a certain price, with this opportunity, Lianchuang Technology can go to another level."

"Step a step back, if we can snatch the OEM orders of Dell and Paq from Foxconn, it will strengthen ourselves while weakening our opponents. It will kill two birds with one stone, so I hope, no, not hope. It is necessary to get these two OEM orders, no matter what the price is paid!"

Dell and Paq are the major personal computer manufacturers in the United States. The two companies have a common feature: although the brand is relatively well-known, in order to make as high a profit as possible and reduce the company's expenses in employees, there are few production factories on their own. Dell even takes this to the extreme. Although Paq Computer Company mainly focuses on OEM production. At least there are two computer assembly factories, Dell has put this concept of saving money to the extreme. One company does not have its own assembly factory. All computers are assembled by OEM OEM manufacturers.

Dell has saved a lot of workers' wages and made much more profits than other companies. Dell's success has made this cost-reducing profit model highly praised by the American technology community. You should know that the cost of human resources in the United States is not low. Assembling computers is actually a job without technical content, while the union has no company scratched its head.

Now, I don’t have a factory, so I don’t have a production worker, so I don’t have to pay the production worker. I don’t have an industrial worker, so I don’t have to care about the union’s birds, and I don’t have to be angry with those birds... That’s great, why didn’t I find that there is such a good way to use it? With the good example of Dell, in front of it, it’s natural for American companies to choose to build factories in developing countries or simply hand over the production link to OEM manufacturers.

Tan Na, who has also known the "dell model", was moved by Lin Zheng's words, "Do you think Foxconn will be our biggest competitor in the future?"

Of course, Lin Zheng couldn't tell Tan Na that Foxconn relied on absorbing nutrients from the mainland that it has grown from an unknown Bay Island company to the world's 30th super giant in just 20 years. It is said that an unknown Bay Island company will become the 30th super giant in the world in 2013? This is even more unbelievable than saying that the Boatman Brothers becomes Bill Gates in China. As for the incident of jumping off a building, haha...

If you want to convince Tan Na, you can only explain this problem from another perspective. "The biggest advantage of OEM is that it can produce extremely high output value and produce extremely high jobs. The former can directly make the local government's GDP data more beautiful. For enterprises that can greatly boost GDP, the government will certainly take good care of them."

"In the current situation where state-owned enterprises are generally in a downturn and a large number of state-owned enterprises are shutting down, how to quickly and effectively solve the problem of reemployment of laid-off workers has become a two-sided issue with investment promotion. You think, if a company can not only make the GDP data better, increase the political achievements of officials, but also increase a large number of jobs to truly solve the employment problem, what will the local government behave towards such a company? As for whether this company has a normal profit of 6% to 10% or only a small profit of 3% to 4%, is this important?"

Tan Na nodded repeatedly and thoughtful: "Of course, it is the kind of support from ancestors. When other local governments see this situation, they must try their best to attract this company to their local investment. It is not too much to offer outrageous investment conditions. Moreover, Foxconn is also known as a Taiwanese-funded company, which is easier to achieve twice the result with half the effort... I understand that the OEM of Dell Computer and Compaq Computer must be snatched from Foxconn!"

Even though it was not for the purpose of restricting Foxconn, but just to increase the voice and influence of her company in the local government, Tan Na felt that she had to take these two orders, but she was still a little worried, "Don't worry about land issues. Now local governments are going crazy to attract investment, but where do we get the money to introduce these production equipment? The little money we have is definitely not enough, right? Can the bank lend us money?"

Different from traditional industrial enterprises, electronic enterprises, comrades who need a large number of assembling workers have the same requirements for advanced production equipment. For example, the production of circuit boards and the welding of so many electronic components must be used to use automated production equipment. You can't let workers solder circuit boards manually, right? Not to mention the low production efficiency, the failure rate is much higher than that of automated production.

Although this news was a little rushed, Tan Na didn't know the annual sales of Dell Computer Company and Compaq Computer Company last year and the growth rate in recent years, and then she couldn't estimate the total number of computers that the two companies here need to manufacture next year. However, since these two computer companies are large manufacturers in the world, if she remembers correctly, Dell's annual sales exceeded US$2 billion in 1992, and the annual sales volume was obviously more than 1 million units. There is no reason why the total sales of last year would be lower than in 1992, right?

Even if it is impossible to get the entire OEM share of the two companies, even if the two companies can only get 500,000 units in total, the total value of the equipment that needs to be updated is an amazing number... Poor Lisheng Electronics is now basically the same.

"This is indeed a big trouble, but you can always think of a solution to the problem, right?" Lin Zheng laughed, not seeming to take Tan Na's worries too seriously.

"Okay, I'll think about it..." Tan Na didn't have much hope in her heart: the money needed is not a small amount.

—————————————————————

Lin Baoguo and Yang Xiuyu were very dissatisfied with Tan Na’s inability to celebrate the New Year at their home. Although they were not engaged yet, this did not prevent the two who wanted to be grandparents from seeing Tan Na as their daughter-in-law. When they talked to Lin Zheng again, Lin Zheng finally couldn’t help it: “Mom, didn’t you tell you that the girl on the fourth day of the Chinese New Year will come, and you have to let everyone spend the New Year at their home, right?”

"Did you come here to see me? Isn't it for work?" Yang Xiuyu glared at her eyes. Since she had a daughter-in-law, she has disliked her son in all kinds of ways. "I'm not talking about you, you're such a big person and you don't dare to settle the marriage. Are you not afraid of being snatched away by such a good girl?"

Here comes again... Lin Zheng was so painful that he wanted to grab a handful of donkey hair and stuff his ears: My dear mother, can you still let your son have a happy New Year?

Others are full of expectations and excitement during the New Year. Only Lin Zheng is living a life worse than death during the New Year. While he was complaining to his aunt during the New Year, he was even ridiculed by his aunt.

Compared with half a year ago, his younger uncle Tang Runping has changed drastically. His neat suit and neat hairstyle after waxing make him look a bit successful.

Lin Zheng still underestimated his uncle-in-law, and the property company was booming under his management. The owners of the entire Lanwan International Community all gave high praise to the property company's work and management capabilities. The property management company of Lanwan International Community was even favored by several government compound in the city, so he asked the little uncle to go to the family compound of their unit and set up a property management agency. Although it was not long and only one or two months, the feedback was very good.

Lin Zheng smiled and said to Tang Rundong, "My uncle, you were not happy when I invited you out. Now let's take a look. What you did is much better than I originally thought?"

After hearing what his nephew said, Tang Rundong smiled honestly, "Didn't you say that managing a property company is actually similar to the general affairs office of the same school. I just thought about it myself according to the functions of the general affairs office of the school and the property management books you gave me. I didn't expect that I would hit the dead mouse."

"You are not a blind cat hitting a dead mouse," Lin Zheng disagreed with Tang Rundong's statement. In his opinion, this statement erased the efforts of his uncle-in-law. "My aunt told me that in order to do this job well, you often read books and materials until midnight, and you are working hard for your efforts. It is unreasonable for you to fail."
