Lu Yang hung up the phone with Meng Xiaopeng and headed to the factory.
At this time, the factory workers have not yet got off work, and they generally have to get off work overtime until ten o'clock in the evening.
Piece-rate wages are an invention of capitalism.
It fully changed the enthusiasm and work efficiency of employees. Later, many manufacturing industries adopted the piece-rate system as the standard.
After Lu Yang arrived at the factory, Lao Lu was busy making phone calls.
He went to the office of deputy factory director Wang Pengfei, who was printing orders in front of the computer.
Since Nut Technology entered eBay, the order volume has skyrocketed.
The daily online order volume is around 400 units.
At that time, Huang Bingqian's Taobao MP3 shipments were only one or two.
The Taobao store that Lu Yang asked Wang Pengfei to start registering had to be left out due to the popularity of eBay.
Lu Yang also saw the dispute between eBay and Taobao.
In the second half of this year, a turning point for the Internet will come, with Taobao surpassing eBay.
From the early Internet giants, Sohu, NetEase, and Sina, they gradually became BAT!
Wang Pengfei saw Lu Yang coming in and greeted Lu Yang with a smile.
Lu Yang handed Wang Pengfei a cigarette.
"Uncle Wang, why aren't you off work yet?"
Wang Pengfei usually rides a motorcycle to get off work. Sometimes if the construction schedule is tight, he will live in the factory.
Sometimes Lu Jianjun would live in the factory if he didn't want to go back.
Wang Pengfei stretched himself: "We are almost busy. There are more and more orders on eBay. During the two days of the event, we almost exceeded our shipment volume to agents."
Lu Yang knows that the shipment volume of e-commerce platforms is just the beginning and will continue to rise in the future.
He said: "In the future, the shipment volume of self-operated e-commerce will gradually exceed that of offline stores."
Nowadays, the offline model managed by Lao Lu also has disadvantages. Most agents know Lao Lu, and relying on personal emotions, agents often take goods without paying.
Some will not give you money until the product is sold.
Therefore, the middle of the year and the end of each year are the days when Lao Lu wants to pay and collect debts.
All those agents are old-timers, and they can do anything they can.
This is not bad. Lu Yang has even seen agents go bankrupt or run away due to failure in gambling or investing in other businesses.
If Lao Lu doesn't get his money back, he will have no choice but to consider himself unlucky.
These days, it is the most difficult to pay bills. People are penniless and their lives are ruined!
Otherwise, it would later spawn many criminal gangs seeking debts.
Lu Yang is preparing to make large-scale improvements to the agent system when Nut Technology's shipments reach a certain scale.
He exchanged opinions with Wang Pengfei on the next step of MP3 and MP4 research and development.
Wang Pengfei thinks there is no problem with this. The dual-flagship strategy can open up sales for Nut Technology.
You must know that before Lu Yang intervened, the tape recorder factory was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Wang Pengfei's wife began to use her connections to find a way out for him.
No one expected that after Lu Yang’s guidance, the pirated tape factory would come back to life and become Nut Technology, and the city would come to inspect it frequently.
Even the words Chairman and CEO are printed on the business card.
After Lu Yang finished communicating with Wang Pengfei, he said: "Uncle Wang, I mentioned this matter to my dad yesterday. He felt that the step was a bit too big. Please remember to help me persuade him."
Wang Pengfei smiled and agreed immediately.
Lu Yang left Wang Pengfei's office and walked towards Lao Lu's office.
Over there, Lao Lu just hung up the phone.
Lu Yang asked: "Dad, whose phone number is it?"
Lu Jianjun: "I made a phone call with someone who was in the LCD business in Guangdong Province. They said that the factory has launched a new LCD project and asked if we need it."
Lu Yang: "Of course we need it."
Lu Jianjun emphasized: "The screen is a bit big."
Lu Yang: "We will build dual flagships in the future. MP3 will do it, and MP4 will do it too!"
Lu Jianjun still has some concerns. He feels that the MP4 market is not good.
What should Lu Yang tell Lao Lu?
The screen is getting bigger. This is the progress of the times. In the future, mobile phone screens will break through from 3.5 inches to 6.7 inches in just a few years.
Not just mobile phones, but also TV sets and car central control screens.
Nowadays, anyone who doesn’t get a bigger screen will be embarrassed to brag when holding a press conference.
Lu Yang said: "Dad, can you mass-produce MP4 in small quantities? If it sells, you can mass-produce it in large quantities."
Lu Jianjun nodded: "Well, that's okay. I'll discuss it with your Uncle Wang tomorrow."
Well, I just came out of Uncle Wang's office.
The reason why he is willing to buy MP4 is because the price of MP4 can be sold at a higher price, which will increase the profit margin.
Just like mobile phones, 128G is five to six hundred yuan cheaper than 256G, but the actual cost is only about two hundred yuan.
Lu Yang designed the MP3 and MP4 sketches for Lu Jianjun.
He asked the next generation product to be designed according to this sketch.
Lu Jianjun has no objection to Lu Yang’s design talent. Lu Yang participated in the design leadership of the previous second- and third-generation MP3 players.
After chatting about work, Lu Jianjun asked: "What did you do in the afternoon? When I called home, your mother said you were not at home."
Lu Yang: "I went to the hospital to visit my friend."
Lu Jianjun asked: "Male or female?"
Lu Yang was dissatisfied: "Dad, is it interesting for you to ask these questions?"
Lu Jianjun chuckled, picked up the cigarette on the table and handed one to Lu Yang.
"I'm just asking around."
Lu Yang took the cigarette: "It's a girl, a high school classmate. Her mother had a myocardial infarction and had an operation."
Lu Jianjun suddenly realized that this was the case.
He asked: "I have a friend's brother-in-law who is in the cardiology department of the People's Hospital. Do you want me to give you his phone number?"
Lu Yang waved his hand. He was not used to seeking connections. Besides, the operation had already been completed, so there was no point in alarming so many people.
Lu Jianjun asked: "Isn't that classmate of yours also going to college in Bingzhou?"
Lu Yang: "No, we are just classmates."
Lu Jianjun rubbed his eyebrows, knowing that a son is like a father. The more Lu Yang emphasizes simplicity, the more complicated the relationship becomes.
What simple relationship is worth a trip to the hospital?
well…
Lu Yang stayed in the factory until about 11 o'clock in the evening before returning home with Lu Jianjun.
…
The next day, Lu Yang was awakened by Gu Xiaowan's phone call.
"Hey, Xiaowan."
"Lu Yang, my mother wants you to come to my house for dinner."
Lu Yang's sleepiness disappeared instantly and he sat up.
"Did you want me to go?"
Gu Xiaowan emphasized on the phone: "Listen clearly, it is my mother who invites you, not me."
Lu Yang gradually understood what Gu Xiaowan said.
Since Liu Yuqing invited her to go, she must have asked Gu Xiaowan for her opinion, which represented her acquiescence.
It should be that his generosity yesterday earned Liu Yuqing's initial recognition and Gu Xiaowan's relief.
Well, I gained a lot from this summer vacation.
Originally, he wanted to go to the hospital to visit Huang Bingqian's mother in the morning, but it seemed that he could only stay until the afternoon.
Lu Yang called Meng Xiaopeng while getting dressed.
"Lao Meng, are you okay this afternoon?"
"As long as it's okay, don't go out this afternoon. Let's go to the hospital to visit someone."
"Huang Bingqian's mother is hospitalized. It would be too prominent for me to go alone. You can act as a green leaf and accompany me to set it off."
Meng Xiaopeng agreed on the phone.
Lu Yang took his mobile phone and went to the bathroom to wash up...
