Chapter 433: Self-recommended

The Caohejing Development Zone of Shanghai City is one of the development zones with the most intensive technology industry in Shanghai. There are four major industries: microelectronics, optoelectronics, computer machine software, and new materials.
LanTuo Electronics Technology Company is located in this development zone.
Shenzhen LanTuo Electronics was established 19 years ago. At that time, China was still in the era of electronic technology products that lag behind Europe and the United States. Anyone who wanted to possess a Motorola or Nokia in the waist could be stared at for a long time.
Starting from the earliest production of learning machines, LanTuo Electronics quickly followed the rapid development of China's electronic technology industry. In 2004, the company officially entered the mobile phone manufacturing industry.
At that time, a hundred companies in the domestic mobile phone market flourished, including Amoi, Bird, Capital, Kejian, and Panda. These domestic brands once defeated Nokia and Motorola, occupying the top spot in domestic mobile-phone sales. The Bird mobile phone was a fighter on the mobile phones. At that time, it was thought that the domestic mobile phone completely broke out and challenged the golden age of foreign brands.
LanTuo Electronics was considered the second-generation company to enter the mobile phone market. With a model that imitated the Nokia 1100 and added a color screen, with a lower price, the LanTuo mobile phone had set a record of 50,000 units in a single month.
Unfortunately, five years later, foreign brand mobile phones have entered an earth-shaking development stage, and various new technologies have sprung up. So, Amoi fell, and Bird the country's top seller fell precipitously.
LanTuo mobile phone was also very popular among students because it focused on low-end brands and adds cameras and a variety of beautiful casings to its mobile phones. At the same time, the owner Tao Jian focused on Southeast Asia, avoiding the bloody domestic market, and was able to maintain substantial profitability even when domestic independent brands were in mourning.
At that time, Tao Jian had an infinite beauty, and India and Thailand had made even more brilliant sales results.
The good times didn't last long. Starting in 2009, Smartphone began to spread slowly. HTC's first android device, in the year 2010, Apple launched the defying Apple 4. Now let alone domestic mobile phone brands, even those foreign mobile phone giants have to cry with their sheets. They had simply believed Smartphone will only take up half of the country. As a result, even the sweeping aunts now have one in hand, and it was a joy to grab red boxes.
After nearly 20 years of hard work, in the last fight, the equipment was upgraded to a Smartphone assembly line. As a result, the replacement of Smartphone is faster, so fast that Tao Jian couldn't grasp the context of the market.
"Dad, if the factory doesn't sell, what these workers do here?" A young man with glasses, who looked gentle, standing in the neat electronics production workshop, asked Tao Liang anxiously: "Furthermore, this factory was your lifetime at the start, and you sent me to study in the United States to study advanced technology is not it, I had just studied the new technology, and when I got my degree certificate, you told me you will sell the factory?"
"Workers have severance pay. Those who are willing to go to Zhongshan to continue working, they are also recruited there. They have the craftsmanship in them and don’t worry about finding a job. I told the old guys that the factory was about to sell, and they even said I was lucky because I had found even a company that was willing to take rely." Tao Jian, who rarely changed suit, patted his son on the shoulder: "Times have changed. My dream of revitalizing China's manufacturing industry has been realized by others."
"Although we are still far behind in electronic technology, China still has everything that should be. Unlike twenty years ago, even a mobile phone screen could be unmade. But now the mobile-phone industry has solidified which company. Would you like to buy us?"
Tao Liang pushed his glasses, puzzled, and said: "Even HTC has fallen, which company is willing to buy our factory with equipment but no technology."
"It's not a technology company, and it's a traditional heavy industrial company." Tao Jian looked around him: "It's Monster Heavy Industries. They will come over to inspect the factory and legal documents for the last time at eight o'clock... That piece of glass. I haven’t wiped it clean yet. I’ll wipe it.”
"The Monster Heavy Industries, I’ve heard of their names in the United States. The ionization purifiers they produce can’t be bought in the United States. But why the machinery and equipment company buying a mobile-phone factory? Did they want to refurbish the production line and sell it to others?"
"Dad, you won't sell the factory at a low price, do you? We still owe a bank loan of 100 million Yuan and tens of millions of business partners." Tao Liang hurried to catch up.
"All the technical materials and license certificates are packaged together. Of course, they want to make a mobile phone." Tao Jian carefully wiped the glass of the device with a towel and said with emotion: "The negotiated price is 350 million. This price is not a cheap sale. After repaying the bank loan and the money from our business partners, we still have 200 million Yuan left. I have worked hard for 20 years and saved 200 million Yuan in cash. I will not fail. This may be the best ending."
Tao Liang looked at the group just now. A brand-new mobile-phone production line that has been maintained, and his father who is over 50 years old. From its heyday, the family’s assets of nearly 500 million have shrunk to 200 million today. Tao Liang didn't feel much lost in his heart. It's just the factory will be sold, and his father's goal is gone. His dream seemed to disappear all at once. Wasn’t the reason for studying hard and studying in the United States just to be able to carry the technical backbone of the factory?
A little confused, he stood in place at a loss. Just as he didn't understand why the Monster Heavy Industry was interested in making mobile phones, now that the factory would be sold, he didn't know what to do.
At eight o'clock in the morning, two Mercedes-Benz S 600s and one minibus had driven into the factory gate of LanTuo Electronics. The owner Tao Jian, together with several managements welcomed the arrival of Monster Heavy Industries at the door.
Zhongshan and Shanghai are not far away, Tao Jian had long heard of the name of Monster Heavy Industry. It was not until the doors of the cars were opened that Tao Jian, who did not expect to see young people of the same age as his son came out of the cars.
He had also dealt with them several times before, during asset appraisal and preliminary talks. But today is different. Today is the day when the contract will be signed, and several responsible persons have been sent by Monster Heavy Industry. Without time to think about it, Tao Jian and his management quickly stepped forward to greet those familiar managers.
After introducing each other, Tao Jian brought his son Tao Liang over again. When introducing him, he was full of pride: "This is a dog, just returned from studying in the United States."
Tao Liang was suddenly turned red, what age is it now? And also his father continued to call him Dogzi... He couldn't say anything on this occasion, so he had to bite the bullet and shake hands with these young managers one by one. Unexpectedly, these young managers showed some sympathy.
Kong Tao also patted him on the shoulder and whispered: "My dad says the same when he introduces me. It's good to be used to it."
Just such a small move made Tao Liang feel he and they have a common language. The subsequent process also had confirmed Tao Liang's views.
There is no sluggishness, nor any politeness between the old slickers in the mall.
After a cup of tea, these managers took the team and began to check the assembly line, review all the documents of the factory, and the financial status. They had reviewed the status of the factory once before, and this time they mainly reviewed the financial aspects.
The review lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon, and Tao Liang was a little idle on his side. After graduating from college, he went studying in the United States for five years. The day before yesterday, he heard that his father was going to sell the factory and rushed back. So he didn't know the financial situation of the factory in recent years. This occasion also gave him plenty of time to observe the factory state with the team sent by Monster Heavy Industries.
This company, Tao Liang, even in the United States, has heard of its name: "Can you take the liberty to say, do you really plan to make mobile phones when you buy a mobile-phone factory?" Tao Liang couldn't help but wonder and asked the manager who had said a few words.
"A branch of Monster Heavy Industry Company wants to build a mobile phone. It will be very strange if anyone changes it." Kong Tao smiled, with good confidence hidden in his smile: "We gave the Monster Heavy Industry the positioning of technology industrial company."
"Mechanics and electronics, these two are not parallel lines."
Kong Tao pointed to his back: "For example, the equipment in this factory, which is used to produce mobile-phones and the equipment the technical content of the mobile phone, determines the quality of the mobile phone."
"We have the core technology of mechanical processing technology and are sure to make a mobile phone that others can't make."
"Does your company... still recruit employees? I don't want to go back to the United States, yes." Tao Liang, who had a confused future, suddenly had an idea to join them and build a mobile phone together: "I graduated from Tsinghua University, then studied at MIT and got a Ph.D. in electronic engineering." Tao Liang had scratched his head: "My mentor is Mr. Pi Mingcheng, a Chinese professor. Originally, my goal was to revitalize the company at home, but the company disappeared."
"...... "
Kong Tao suddenly looked at him with straight eyes.
