Chapter 235 cottage
Although Guo Tao has his own little thoughts, his suggestion is also good. As the company under his name grows bigger, Zhou Liwen has been interested in integrating the companies again. After all, he now has logistics, shipping, express delivery, import and export, real estate, research institute, Orz mobile phone and two network companies. This does not include two companies in Xiangjiang and two offshore holding companies. Although so many companies are currently under Guo Tao and Zhang Zhen, except for Guo, they are basically in charge of other companies, but Zhou Liwen is basically in charge of the company himself. In addition to the company's dispersion and rapid expansion, Zhou Liwen cannot cover everything even if he has three heads and six arms.
The intention of reintegrating these companies was found before the honeymoon. Today, Guo Tao happened to propose the idea of an office building. Zhou Liwen thought about it and thought that these two things would be done together.
As for how to integrate, Zhou Liwen initially planned to concentrate these companies on three group companies, one of which is of course the three Guo family. As the logistics industry, Guo Tao was originally responsible for the traditional logistics, shipping and express delivery industries, so this part was continued to be handed over to him. Zhou Liwen, a real estate company, also made a development plan and divided the real estate company business into two parts, one is the current intermediary, property company, and the other is the real estate development investment company. The two are combined into one by the real estate group.
The remaining research institutes, mobile phones, and network companies are merged together, mainly based on the Technology Development Group. As for the import and export company Zhou Liwen has not yet considered it. Whether it is placed on Guo's side or with real estate companies, or continue to be independent, it still needs to be considered in the future.
For the two companies in Xiangjiang, including two offshore companies, Zhou Liwen mainly uses them as cross-holding, so in addition to increasing capital, Zhou Liwen temporarily thinks it is better not to change them. Of course, it is not too late to change them in the future if you have new ideas in the future. Anyway, the change procedures for Xiangjiang and offshore are very simple, and you can do anything as long as you spend some money.
Zhou Liwen's idea is a bit different from Guo Tao. Although Guo Tao has calculated the cost of building a building, and he can also bear it in terms of the current profits of Guo's family. But how could Zhou Liwen spend such a lot of money to invest money in this area? Although the real estate market is slightly better than last year, the entire market is still in a slump, and there is still two years before the real estate market can really recover. If you want to build a building of your own, Zhou Liwen has some solutions.
He initially agreed to Guo Tao's request, but he only said that he had other considerations about building the building. Guo Tao, who didn't understand Zhou Liwen's idea, asked curiously a few words, but Zhou Liwen just smiled but didn't answer. However, he promised that he would be able to build his own building soon, and promised that Guo Tao's building was called Guo's Building to satisfy this guy's vanity.
After returning to Huacheng smoothly, Zhou Liwen and the others had just arrived at home and put down their luggage when Sha Zihao arrived.
"I said Lao Sha, you're too anxious. Didn't you agree to be eight o'clock in the evening? What time is it now? I'm driving around and over again and I haven't even had dinner with Jay Chou."
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. By the way, where is Jay Chou?" Sha Zihao asked with his head protruding at the door.
Guo Tao pointed to the bathroom that made the sound of water: "I'm taking a shower, why don't you sit in the living room for a while, and I'll go downstairs to buy some takeaway."
"Okay, please trouble you." Sha Zihao nodded and entered the door, then sat down on the sofa in the living room, staring at the bathroom with his eyes blankly. Seeing him like this, Guo Tao didn't know what to say, so he shook his head and went out to buy takeaway.
Ten minutes later, the bathroom door opened with a loud bang, wearing a bathrobe, wiping her wet hair with a towel, Zhou Liwen walked out of it.
"Hey, Lao Sha, you're here."
"Jay Jay Chou!" Sha Zihao quickly stood up.
Zhou Liwen smiled and pressed his hands down: "You sit on the coffee table, there is brewed tea on it. Pour it yourself. I'll go into the house and change my clothes first."
"Okay, okay." Sha Zihao responded with a smile. Zhou Liwen ignored him and went back to the room to change his clothes.
A few minutes later, after changing into the house clothes, Zhou Liwen walked out with a few small bags in his hand: "This is a gift for you, this is yours, this is Lao Liao, please bring it to him, and this is Lao Guo... Where is Lao Guo?"
"Mr. Guo went downstairs to buy takeout and will be back soon."
"Oh, it's okay, I'll give it to him when he comes back." Zhou Liwen sat down and handed him the gifts from Sha Zihao and Liao Yuancheng.
"Thank you, Jay Chou, I still want to bring us gifts when I go out."
"Haha, why don't you think about it? You don't know. On the way back, Lao Guo was clamoring for a gift. If he didn't bring it, he wouldn't blame everyone for death?"
"Haha..." Sha Zihao laughed a few times, Zhou Liwen lit a cigarette and asked, "You sent me an email saying that you have something urgent to come to me? What's so urgent? Today I heard from Lao Guo that you have been going to Guo to inquire about my news these days?"
Sha Zihao nodded with a bitter face, sighed first, and then said, "Yes, Jay Chou, there is really something urgent to come to you, otherwise I wouldn't have rushed."
"What the hell is it?"
"It's like this, Mr. Guo. I heard bad news a few days ago. I'm afraid it will have a great impact on our mobile phones!"
"Bad news? A big impact?" Zhou Liwen was stunned, put half-smoked cigarettes on the side of the ashtray, raised her eyebrows and said, "What's going on? Explain it clearly."
"It's such a Jay Chou..."
Sha Zihao started to tell the story, and he started half a month ago. Due to Orz's mobile phone sales, Sha Zihao's factory has now expanded a lot, and the newly cooperated OEM factories are also managed by Sha Zihao, so it can be said that Sha Zihao is the person in charge of the production of the mobile phone project.
It was all very smooth together, but half a month ago, when he was purchasing a batch of raw materials, he suddenly found that some raw materials and electronic accessories had increased their prices. Sha Zihao has been working in this industry for more than ten years, and he has never encountered a sudden price increase without warning. Moreover, he is very clear about the domestic market and is well aware of the cost of these raw materials and accessories. Even if some price adjustments are made, they will generally notify in advance, and will not be like the current situation. What's more, the price increase of raw materials and electronic accessories is not likely to be due to the material itself.
At first, Sha Zihao thought that the partner was jealous of their prosperous business and estimated price increase. The purpose was to make profits. However, after understanding, he found out that this price increase was not only the partner, but also the unified price increase behavior of all suppliers in the southeast region that provide these raw materials and accessories. This made him very strange. After asking about information from the northern industry, Sha Zihao received news that the price in the northern market was still the same, so he concluded that this price increase was not simple.
But before he could find out the results, he heard from a few old friends that the model opening business in the southeast region has been particularly good recently. In the past, the company and the masters who started modeling cannot receive a few orders in a month. Recently, these orders are even too many. There are many factories outside looking for capable model opening companies everywhere, and some even raised the active price by 30%.
Sha Zihao is timid and sensitive and easy to think too much. This is his weakness, but it is also his advantage. After hearing these news, he thought about it more and more, and he quickly mobilized people to find out what the reason was. A few days later, the news finally came to know the truth. When Sha Zihao learned the truth, he was shocked. I don’t know when, dozens of large and small manufacturing factories appeared in the southeast overnight. These factories include formal factories, ordinary factories, and some even small workshops built by a few people. I don’t know where to get some mobile phone chip systems, and then find someone to open a mold and produce some various mobile phones.
"Jay Jay Chou, I've found out clearly. These phones will appear on the market in a few days. Do you know how much they only sell? It's only 500! It is said that all sell at lower prices are all, which is simply to destroy our jobs!" Sha Zihao gestured with excitement. If this price is in the market, it will definitely have a huge impact. His good days have just begun, and someone has used this trick to grab food. How come he doesn't make him angry?
"Are you sure about this?" Zhou Liwen asked with a serious expression.
"Of course it's certain!" Sha Zihao answered without thinking, then pulled open the bag he carried with him, took out three rough-working mobile phones from it and put them in front of Zhou Liwen: "Look, this is what I got from several small factories through connections. Although they have rough workmanship, I have tried the machine myself, and it's okay to use it on the ordinary. Is this a thing that spreads in the market? I have to toss the entire market."
Zhou Liwen silently picked up these phones and looked at them. When he touched them, he knew that the shells of these phones were of very ordinary material, but the shape was very novel and the colors were colorful. Two of them used a straight plate style similar to Nokia, and one actually used its own Blackberry-like appearance.
After turning on the phone, I tried it briefly. As Sha Zihao said, although these phones are not very good, they will definitely not affect their use and have complete basic functions. Zhou Liwen was speechless. He never expected that entering the mobile phone market in advance would make this counterfeit phone come so early. It seems that the butterfly's wings are really powerful. It swelled the counterfeit phone a few years ago.
"Hurry, help me get it!"
Just as Zhou Liwen and Sha Zihao were facing speechless and thinking about the solution, Guo Tao came back, carrying several plastic bags in both hands, and shouting as soon as he entered the door.
"What's wrong with you? Huh, what are these things?" Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Guo Tao took some effort to put the thing on the table, pulled a tissue to wipe his hands, and was about to ask them what was going on, but he was stunned when he saw the phone placed on the coffee table.
"Copy cell phone."
