Chapter 90 Moving forward together
When we rushed back to the university town, it was already a little past eleven thirty.
After having a quick meal with Jiang Wen, we drove to Qiandeng without stopping.
Before the New Year's Day holiday, Luo Yang had arranged for Ma Guiqin to keep an eye on the new factory, and Ma Guiqin lived up to expectations and found a suitable place.
"Boss Luo, this was originally a garment factory, and the layout is especially suitable for your requirements."
The accompanying staff from the town's investment promotion office led Luo Yang and the other two into the yard, pointed to the main building and introduced it: "It's an L-shaped three-story building. The north building is a large frame structure, which is very suitable for use as a production workshop for industries such as clothing and food. The total area is about 1200 square meters. The east side is shorter and can be used as a staff dormitory, canteen and office space, with a total area of about 600 square meters. In the middle is the yard, which is nearly 200 square meters."
What Luo Yang is concerned about is the rent.
Fortunately, Jiang Wen was by her side, and the money-loving girl asked directly, "How is the rent calculated?"
"The rent for the factory is 12 per square meter per month, which works out to about 26 yuan a year."
"Is it too expensive?"
"Mr. Luo, this is a 1800 square meter factory with a yard for free. This price is really not expensive."
The young woman from the investment promotion office smiled bitterly and said, "If it weren't for the bad economy in Europe and America in the past two years, and the sudden drop in orders for foreign trade clothing companies, the rent for a factory like this would be at least 50% more expensive!"
"Then please lower the price a little bit."
Luo Yang smiled and said, "Since you've already spoken, it would be embarrassing to refuse."
"256000 a year, 3-5 year contract, one deposit and six payments, it can't be any cheaper."
"Okay, that's settled."
This condition is already quite favorable. He only needs to pay seven months' rent in one go, which saves Luo Yang a lot of working capital.
"Assistant Zhou, I have something else to trouble you with!"
After finalizing the lease, Luo Yang smiled and said to the young woman in the investment promotion office: "I plan to use these two evenings to move the machines. Do you have any professional companies you are familiar with?"
"I'll give you a call later. Most of the factory relocations in the industrial parks around Kunshan are handled by them. They are quite professional."
Young lady Zhou said with a smile on her face: "We are a cooperative unit of the Investment Promotion Office, and the fees are reasonable."
From viewing the factory to finalizing the contract, it took only more than two hours.
"Director Ma, please find someone to clean up this place later."
Although Ma Guiqin was only the director of the production workshop, Luo Yang usually gave her the responsibility for all the miscellaneous matters in the factory: "Take some time to buy some iron bed frames. Since there is a dormitory building in the factory area, use it."
"Does the boss charge for the dormitory?"
"Forget it, just consider it as a little benefit for employees."
Luo Yang thought for a moment and said, "When you recruit more workers, find someone who can cook and set up a canteen."
Ma Guiqin said with joy: "Cooking for yourself is definitely economical, clean and convenient. The employees will definitely agree with it."
After this relocation, the new factory must be formalized. In addition to adding a chief accountant for finance, it will also need to recruit office staff and logistics personnel. In the future, matters such as raw material procurement, packaging and shipping must be done by dedicated people and should no longer take up the time of production workers.
Moreover, Lu Fen and Qiu Jiaying can move here from the garage to work, which not only facilitates online and offline connection, but also improves their working and accommodation environment.
After a busy day, it was already past ten o'clock when Luo Yang and Jiang Wen returned to the rental house.
After taking a shower, Jiang Wen did her daily maintenance as usual.
"Luo Yang, you are amazing. You have managed to sort out so many complicated things bit by bit. If I were to do it, I would be dizzy."
She lay sideways on the chaise longue, and seeing Luo Yang still busy, she couldn't help but sigh: "After meeting you, I look at those boys in school and suddenly feel that they are so childish. The longer I spend with you, the stronger this feeling becomes!"
Jiang Wen felt confidence, calmness, organization and sense of humor from Luo Yang.
These are things that can only be precipitated by a man after experiencing some things. How can they be felt in a student around 20 years old?
But she happened to meet Luo Yang, a man with the soul of a man in his thirties, and was amazed by him.
"What should I do, Luo Yang? I'm getting smaller and smaller."
"How can I work when you're like this?"
Luo Yang, who was harassed by the evil words, sighed, looked up at Jiang Wen and said, "If I can't make money, how can I support you in the future?"
The tea master won’t do that anymore.
What I said just now about being obsessed with Luo Yang is true, but that is based on the premise of material foundation.
If she really becomes love-brained, can she still remain pure until her sophomore year?
Fortunately, women have privileges and can act coquettishly even when they are not in the right.
"Oh, I remember there is a new set of underwear in the cupboard that I haven't tried yet." Jiang Wen took off the mask and ran into the bedroom barefoot.
The traditional play "Three Fights with the White Bone Demon" begins.
With the end of the New Year's Day holiday, the decoration of the Kunpeng Project Entrepreneurship Center has also been completed.
Dong Jiajia, who is serving as the office director, is very enthusiastic. During the three-day New Year's Day holiday, she spent half of her time in the Entrepreneurship Center.
Not only did he purchase tables and chairs, he also bought a lot of potted plants to make the office look green.
Wu Mingdong, who is majoring in computer science, and Zhang Tianhua, who is majoring in electronic information, are also junior students. Due to the distance, they did not go back home on New Year's Day. So they took advantage of the three-day holiday to configure their computers.
The business license was also obtained the day after the holiday. Now everything is ready, except for the east wind.
Luo Yang chose Wednesday afternoon and specially invited Deputy Director Guo Yuancheng of the Entrepreneurship Guidance Center and class instructor He Zhihua to hold a Kunpeng project launch ceremony under their witness.
In the evening, I took Dong Jiajia, Wu Mingdong and Zhang Tianhua to the first company dinner.
"Cheers to the smooth launch of our project!"
In the private room of the hot pot restaurant, after Luo Yang received the first glass of wine, everyone started chatting about the future work.
"Brother Luo, when will the drone prototype you mentioned arrive?"
Wu Mingdong is a typical technical guy, thin, wearing glasses and with messy hair which is very distinctive.
What he is most concerned about now is the drone prototype and he is not very interested in what to eat.
“Toy-grade drones are relatively easy to purchase and can be found in Shanghai.”
Luo Yang frowned and said, "Application-level drones are a bit troublesome, but I have already contacted my high school classmate who is studying in Shenzhen and asked him to take time to help me purchase two from HK. It's just that I won't be able to see the prototypes for a short time. I estimate that the earliest I can get one is when the winter vacation is approaching."
Zhang Tianhua has a higher EQ: "Mr. Luo, my research on information transmission can start with toy-grade drones."
Dong Jiajia studied liberal arts and didn't know much about technology: "Xiaodi Luo, you mentioned the terms toy grade and application grade just now. Is there a big difference between the two?"
"The difference in magnitude is that one is a toy, and the other is almost an industrial-grade product."
Wu Mingdong pushed up his glasses and said, "If the control system is good enough, industrial-grade drones can even be several meters in size. If you are interested in the military, you will know that as early as 2004, the United States launched a Predator drone."
This guy is definitely a data geek and has easy access to data on the Predator drone.
"This drone is meters long, has a wingspan of meters, can carry more than one ton, has a cruising speed of 130-165 kilometers per hour, a range of more than 3700 kilometers, and a practical ceiling of 7620 meters."
Wu Mingdong shrugged and said, "It's just that I don't know what the parameters of a civilian-grade drone can be, so I'm looking forward to you getting a prototype."
"So powerful?"
Dong Jiajia stuck out her tongue: "I thought it was just something a little bigger than a toy."
"Mingdong, Tianhua, if we have a prototype, how long will it take to make a replica?"
Luo Yang doesn’t care about the Predator drone, because DJI will definitely surpass it. This great and glorious mission will be left to the leading enterprise to accomplish.
What he cares about is how long it will take to build Kunpeng’s first drone.
“I can’t be sure until I see the prototype.”
Technology geeks like Wu Mingdong are more stubborn and the type who speak their mind, unlike Yuan Chonghuan who could blurt out "pacify Liaoning in three years."
Zhang Tianhua saw Luo Yang's urgency and interrupted to say, "If we just copy it and allow for some adjustments to the technical indicators, we can produce our own prototype in about half a year."
There is some "technical content" in what he said.
How much is the so-called technical indicator adjustment?
If the imitation product can reach half of DJI's parameters, Luo Yang can still accept it. But if the parameter indicators are adjusted to only one tenth, what's the point of doing it!
But there is no way, he is not Lei Jun, nor Zhang Yiming, nor Wang Tao.
These protagonists have an IQ of over 150, are technically savvy, and are self-taught in the market. When talented people see them, they bow down to them and worship them as legendary figures. Even novels don't dare to write about them in this way.
Luo Yang can only be regarded as the person who understands real estate the best among the high-tech entrepreneurs, and the person who can talk about high-tech the best in the real estate industry.
“No matter how difficult it is, at least two prototypes must be in place before the winter vacation begins!”
Luo Yang promised: "When the first imitation product is made, each of you will be rewarded 50,000 in cash!"
Of course, not only Wu Mingdong and Zhang Tianhua need encouragement, but we also cannot forget Dong Jiajia who provides logistical support.
"Success depends on logistics, and the same goes for you. I'll give you a 5000 bonus after the replica is made."
If you don’t have enough skills, you can make up for it with bonuses!
