Chapter 21: Setting up a factory
In the tea room, Fan Ren drank tea unconsciously while thinking constantly in his mind.
Yun Yin’s suggestion really moved him.
Through this "price increase" incident, Fan Ren knew very well that during the period when Xinghai had not yet become truly big and strong, such shitty things would occur from time to time.
This is one of the difficulties in running a business.
However, Xinghai also has its own needs. Whether it is the current wireless charging or a series of needs in the future, Xinghai will inevitably have to deal with manufacturing frequently in the future.
But now that such an opportunity was placed in front of him, he hesitated.
What happened to Yun Yin was also a warning to him.
After a long while, Fan Ren spoke.
"To be honest, I am tempted by your proposal."
"but?"
Yun Yin's heart trembled, it was obvious that this way of speaking had a backup plan waiting for her.
Fan Ren nodded, thought for a moment and then said, "If it's convenient, could you tell me roughly what your expectations are for the factory and its development direction?"
Seeing that there was a chance, Yun Yin nodded quickly and began to express her thoughts.
"I expect that I can cash out about 5 million yuan from my shares. Yunkang is only a small to medium-sized foundry after all. But don't worry, I will invest all the money into the new factory.
Of course, if there is sufficient financial support, I hope to build a modern, semi-automatic production and manufacturing plant. You should know the situation in Yunkang. The equipment is too old.
I originally planned to use the proceeds from my cooperation with Xinghai to gradually improve these problems. Unfortunately...
I think Mr. Fan should know how great the advantages of today's intelligent factories are compared to traditional production factories, right? "
Fan Ren nodded and signaled to continue.
Yun Yin was not afraid that Fan Ren would think she was being too long-winded, so she continued to express her thoughts one by one.
Although she wants to change Yunkang's current situation, the shareholders will not let her do whatever she wants.
In addition, after being sidelined this time, although she only has 39% of the shares in her hands, she can still rely on her abilities to gradually regain the right to speak.
But facing a group of uncles and aunts who only want to stand on the credit book and suck blood, she often feels powerless.
In addition, improving equipment requires a lot of money, which alone makes it difficult for these shareholders to accept.
This led to his plan to set up his own camp.
For the new factory, Yunyin plans to adopt an automated and intelligent production model from the very beginning.
Not only that, compared with traditional factories, modern smart factories have significant differences in technology application, production efficiency, flexibility and environmental impact.
Unlike traditional human-produced factories, modern smart factories have great advantages in data collection, analysis, quality control and so on.
These views are consistent with Fanren's.
But the idea is beautiful, but the reality is that nowadays, due to the high cost of high-tech technology and the lower cost of labor, most factories still choose traditional manual production methods.
Currently, the few smart factories in the world are basically built by companies in major application fields at their own expense.
In the investment field, this type of intelligent factory with large capital and low efficiency is not favored by investors.
If you didn't know clearly that the hot high-voltage wireless charging technology on the market is owned by the man in front of you, he would have a huge amount of money in his hands.
In addition, Yun Yin had no intention of doing so when Yun Kang raised the price. But now it was different. The other party was a technical person and he must have a common language with her in terms of factory modernization.
That's why today's scene happened.
Fan Ren deeply agreed with Yun Yin's ideas, but was still a little hesitant about the way of cooperation.
After careful consideration, he immediately said: "I basically agree with what you said, and I am not afraid to tell you that, in fact, Xinghai has plans in this regard in the near future."
When Yun Yin heard this, her face suddenly lit up. After all, she was a young person with a technical background, and she indeed shared the same views as her hero.
Fan Ren did not beat around the bush: "Xinghai can invest, and the investment amount will not be small. You will suffer a loss if you take a stake, and I have a very clear request!"
"You say!" Yun Yin nodded repeatedly. When it comes to shares, whoever pays more is right.
"I think you should know that Xinghai is not a listed company. As for the cooperating factories, I still do not plan to go public in the foreseeable future unless we encounter some force majeure factors."
After Fan Ren finished speaking, Yun Yin became puzzled.
She has never considered the question of whether to go public or not. Not to mention the benefits of going public, where will the money come from if not going public?
Xinghai certainly has money, but the man in front of him wouldn't take out billions to invest in this, right?
With the endorsement of a company like Xinghai that owns well-known patents, it should not be difficult for the manufacturer to go public. She approached Fanren because of this consideration.
Fan Ren's eyes were firm as he spoke, "Two billion! Xinghai will invest two billion, accounting for 20% of the shares, and you will take the remaining 20%. But don't worry, since you proposed this plan and based on your previous actions in Yunkang, Xinghai will not interfere in the operation of the company. You will be fully responsible for it."
Yun Yin's mouth opened into an O shape.
She never expected that the man in front of her, despite being so young, could be so courageous.
20 billion, that’s it!
He actually made such a huge investment in a factory model whose profitability was not optimistic.
Through the announcements of several major companies, Yun Yin was able to roughly calculate that Xinghai had approximately 3 billion in funds.
But she never imagined that this man was not at all attached to the money and was willing to use it for a new round of investment.
And it seems that no excessive demands were made.
According to Fanren, Xinghai holds 80% of the shares in the new factory, and she only holds 20%, yet she still has the right to operate the factory.
Yun Yin shook her head. Was she dreaming?
What she didn't know was that Yun Yin's appearance and proposal were exactly what Fan Ren was planning for Xinghai's near future.
Now that he had met her, Fan Ren would not let this opportunity go. After all, the woman in front of him had been influenced by her father since she was a child, and was particularly familiar with the manufacturing plant.
Another thing is, if Xinghai has its own factory for the production of wireless charging equipment nowadays, why would it be threatened by Yunkang to raise prices?
Xinghai will lose about 2 million yuan for this cooperation alone, and this is only the production demand for the orders that Xinghai has negotiated during this period.
He could even foresee that after this batch of production was completed, Yunkang would definitely raise the price again.
Rather than being disgusted later, it is better to make plans early.
Furthermore, wireless charging technology has always been a transitional option for him.
Once this part is almost done, Fanren will start to attack the battery field.
You know, that is a mature and very huge market.
Just imagine, compared with the unsafety of liquid batteries, slow charging and discharging speeds, and battery capacity, solid-state batteries have huge advantages.
Once it comes out, Xinghai will no longer be troubled by funding issues.
And only then will the starry sea truly begin to set sail.
