Chapter 184 Company Reorganization Plan (2 more updates requested)
Chen Xiao asked Zhou Linghua to come out alone. In fact, Zhou Linghua already had some premonitions in his heart.
As Changtian Technology is involved in more and more industries, the core competitiveness of its products is getting stronger and stronger.
The original balance of cooperation between the two parties has actually been broken.
When Chen Xiao and Zhou Linghua first cooperated, it was because Chen Xiao had technology but no factory. In order to save money, the two parties exchanged technology for equity and became partners.
But it's different now.
Chen Xiao now has the funds, not to mention the core technology.
The ADLINK factory is currently just an OEM company.
Zhou Linghua couldn't help but feel a little funny when he thought of this.
At first he wanted to copy Lingyue MP3 and start a new business.
Now looking at the head-to-head struggle between Changtian Technology Sense and Netac, if I had really started a new business, I am afraid that I would have been wiped out by this cruel market.
Chen Xiao asked Zhou Linghua what his future plans were. In fact, he was testing Zhou Linghua's thoughts.
After cooperating with Chen Xiao for the next year, Zhou Linghua's situation has also become bigger, and his vision is not just Jiangyang Province, but the entire national market and even the international market.
He deeply realizes that only by possessing core technology can you have everything.
OEM companies or cheap labor can be found anywhere.
Zhou Linghua said: "Let's use up the flash memory chips in stock first."
Chen Xiao didn't give in. "If new storage equipment is produced in the future, its technical indicators will be greatly improved compared to now, and the requirements for workers and equipment will be stricter."
"However, the ADLINK factory is currently under dual management, with unclear responsibilities and unclear management, which will have a great impact on the development of Changtian Technology."
This time Chen Xiao did not call Zhou Linghua Mr. Zhou but Brother Hua.
"Brother Hua, you also know that now Sony and Samsung can produce MP3, Netac can also produce MP3, and more companies will produce MP3 in the future."
"The consumer group of MP3 players is limited. If we don't step out earlier, we will fall into endless involution in the future."
Zhou Linghua took out a Huazi and lit it, then asked: "What do you mean?"
Chen Xiao was not shy and said directly: "I want to reintegrate the company's resources and bring the ADLINK factory into the management scope of Changtian Technology."
Sure enough, after hearing Chen Xiao's words, Zhou Linghua took a long puff of cigarette, but he still didn't want to accept it in his heart.
After all, from a boss to a company's management, there is still a gap.
But what Chen Xiao said next made Zhou Linghua feel relieved.
Chen Xiao said: "I will set up a separate production company, and I will give you a corresponding proportion of it. Brother Hua's final treatment will not be worse than the current one."
"Brother Hua has more experience in production management than I do. I will still need your help in the future development of Changtian Technology."
The company has two production models.
One is similar to how Chen Xiao now sets up his own production company and produces by himself.
The advantage of this is that it can control quality and reduce costs when sales are good.
But the disadvantage is that the variety of products produced is single. If the sales volume is not good, the entire production company will come to a standstill, which will greatly waste labor and machinery costs.
The other is the OEM model, which is the traditional foundry model.
This model allows design companies to hand over what they need to third-party companies for OEM production.
The advantage of this is that it can reduce risks for the company and eliminate the need to support people.
And as far as OEM companies are concerned, they are not just OEMs for one company, but their own risk coefficient is also relatively small.
Chen Xiao currently adopts the first model. The main reason is that the current products of Changtian Technology all involve core technologies. If you use the OEM model, there is no way to control the quality and it is easy to cause technology leaks.
Before Chen Xiao's rebirth, semiconductor companies such as TSMC and Micron grew from the OEM model by continuously accumulating advanced technologies.
Zhou Linghua threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground, stamped it with his foot and said, "I don't have any lofty ambitions. I'm just interested in money."
"If I hadn't met you, I would still be doing the most basic second-hand machinery and equipment production business in the later period, and I would definitely not make as much as I do now."
"Chen Xiao, brother, I won't say anything anymore. As long as you don't let me suffer, you can say anything."
Chen Xiao patted Zhou Linghua on the shoulder and the cooperation was concluded.
There are two purposes for doing this. The first is to bind Zhou Linghua to his own chariot and prevent Zhou Linghua from having second thoughts. The other is to allow Zhou Linghua to work with peace of mind and spend more energy on improving his production.
basically.
Letting professional people do professional things is the key to company growth.
However, the company's restructuring will not be completed immediately.
Chen Xiao still has to wait for the Shenzhen Municipal Court's decision to be finalized before starting the company restructuring.
During this period, the most important thing for Changtian Technology is to increase the research and development of lithium batteries and the production of carbon crystal storage.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, the first-instance verdict of the Shenzhen Municipal Court was announced.
Not surprisingly, after the failure of mediation between Lingyue and Netac, the balance of victory has tilted towards Netac.
In the end, the Shenzhen Municipal Court ruled that Lingyue had indeed infringed on Netac’s patented technology.
Lingyue is required to compensate Netac for ten yuan in royalties for each MP3.
If you are so happy, you will have to compensate Netac with nearly 1 million.
At the same time, the Shenzhen Municipal Court ordered Lingyue to stop selling products involving Netac's patents within one month.
This also gives Lingyue a certain buffer period.
According to many media analyses, the court made this ruling for two reasons.
One is to respect the laws related to intellectual property rights, so Netac wins. Only in this way can we not give the West an excuse and achieve a smooth and soft landing.
Another thing is that the court was actually more sympathetic to Ling Yue, so it relaxed the law enforcement standards, gave Ling Yue more than a month of buffer time, and rejected Netac's request to ask for millions in silence.
Lingyue was unconvinced and continued to appeal in order to delay the decision.
Netac was not convinced and chose to appeal because they were not satisfied with the amount of compensation.
Deng Yun was not particularly satisfied with the court's verdict and scolded his subordinates.
"Is our Netac patent a rip-off? Others can get in if they want, and leave when they want? Just throw some money and be done with it??"
What depresses Deng Yun the most is that from the beginning of the court session to now, Lingyue Company has been calm and calm, without the slightest panic, and seems to be taking every step at its own pace.
And from beginning to end, whether it was negotiations with Netac or Motorola.
Lingyue Company did not relent at all. They seemed to have no sense of crisis. Didn't they know that the sales of Lingyue MP3 would be stopped after the Spring Festival and their cash would be in serious crisis?!
Netac began to put pressure on Gome Mall. Netac publicly stated that the court has now clarified which company's patent belongs to it. If the sales mall continues to sell products that violate the law, Netac will reserve the right to pursue the mall's liability.
