Chapter 519 Orange Electronics
Making a mobile phone is not an easy task. Not only does it require the corresponding technical reserves, but also hardware supply and a large number of skilled technical workers. All these need to be prepared.
Moreover, a few years ago, the relevant departments issued Document No. 5, which stipulates that the production of mobile phones must undergo strict approval, referred to as the "mobile phone approval system."
It is precisely because of this policy that many manufacturers are unable to obtain mobile phone production licenses and are subject to great restrictions.
In today's mobile phone market, it is the time for the first generation of domestic mobile phones to catch up and seize the domestic market.
In recent years, a large number of domestic mobile phone brands have emerged in China, including Bird, Amoi, Panda, Kejian, Southern High-Tech, etc. These mobile phones can be regarded as pioneers of domestic mobile phones.
Among these domestic mobile phone brands, Bird mobile phones are undoubtedly the king, occupying an absolute market position.
As early as 1999, Bird had been making pagers for several years. It was also in that year that Bird's core figure, Lao Xu, discovered the potential of the mobile phone market with his keen sense of smell and decisively cooperated with a foreign joint venture to start making mobile phones.
However, Bird had not yet obtained a mobile phone production license, and the first batch of 20 mobile phones were all piled up in the warehouse. It was not until it merged with another company under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that it successfully obtained a mobile phone production license.
Afterwards, Bird borrowed 4000 million yuan, all of which was used for advertising. It also invited the famous singer Coco Lee to endorse Bird and shouted out the advertising slogan: "Bird phone, the fighter among mobile phones."
It was precisely because of the effective publicity that Bird mobile phones emerged as a dark horse that year, with sales soaring and achieving the first place in the domestic market share. It also led to the rise of other domestic mobile phone brands, which together occupied half of the domestic mobile phone market.
Of course, Lu Cheng was not planning to start making mobile phones as his first step. After all, he did not have enough technical reserves, and he also needed to contact various hardware vendors. In addition, he lacked enough skilled workers.
Therefore, the first product that Lu Cheng planned to establish, the Orange Electronics Factory, would produce was MP3, followed by MP4, and then mobile phones.
When Lu Cheng approached the municipal industrial and commercial department and proposed to invest 50 million to build a large electronics factory, the department attached great importance to it. Especially after the capital verification, the relevant leaders of the city met with Lu Cheng, the young entrepreneur, as soon as possible.
5000 million is not a small amount, especially since it is an electronics factory that can provide a large number of jobs for Jinling. The higher-ups will certainly pay attention to it.
After much negotiation and field investigation, Lu Cheng finally successfully acquired a piece of land of more than 500 acres in Jiangning District and registered and established the Orange Electronics Factory.
After the land was enclosed, the higher-ups attached great importance to it and provided many favorable policies to facilitate the faster completion of the Orange Electronics Factory.
In July 03, when all major universities were on summer vacation, the design plan designed by Lu Cheng himself and guided by professors from the Department of Architecture had been completed, and some building materials had arrived.
At the end of July, the Orange Electronics Factory officially started construction.
On the construction site, Lu Cheng, wearing a safety helmet, looked at Luo Yang standing beside him and said, "Old Luo, I'll have to ask you to work harder. You will be responsible for monitoring the progress of the construction and finding me a suitable secretary. Also, ask the headhunting company to help us find the management talent we need as soon as possible. As long as the talent is good enough, I can come forward to negotiate when necessary."
"I understand. I'll arrange it as soon as possible."
"We must keep a good grasp of the construction progress. While ensuring the quality, the speed must be fast. It would be best if it can be put into production before the end of the year."
It is normal to spend several months to a year to build such a large electronics factory. But the sooner it is completed, the sooner it can go into production, and the sooner it can start to reserve technology and talents.
After this period of training, Luo Yang, a professional lawyer, has grown into a qualified manager and cooperates well with Lu Cheng.
After leaving the electronics factory that was under construction, Lu Cheng went to the headquarters of Orange Technology in Xuanwu District to check the current software development progress of each department.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng went to the newly established Hongdou Capital.
The head of Hongdou Capital is Zhu Zichuan, who is also a master's graduate from the Finance Department of Tokyo University. He later went to the United States to study and is a very outstanding financial talent.
At the beginning, Lu Cheng contacted the other party through a headhunting company. At first, the other party was reluctant to come to a newly established capital company. However, after seeing Lu Cheng, the young big boss, and the two had some exchanges, Zhu Zichuan was convinced.
Less than two months after joining Hongdou Capital, Zhu Zichuan saw Hongdou Capital grow step by step from scratch and saw Lu Cheng navigate the stock market with ease. He knew that he had followed the right person.
Entering the company, seeing Zhu Zichuan paying attention to the stock market, Lu Cheng greeted him, "Old Zhu, how do you feel about Alibaba and Baidu, which you have been asked to pay attention to recently?"
"These two companies do have great development potential, and based on my experience abroad, they may become the leaders of China's Internet industry in the future."
"Not bad, not bad. You must have put a lot of effort into this conclusion. Let's pay attention to a certain dairy company recently..."
After finishing work, it was already two or three in the afternoon.
Lu Cheng drove with Lin Jingyi to go shopping, bought some gifts, and went to the Lin family to visit Lin Guodong and his wife.
Since it was summer vacation, Lin Jingyi, who was not attending classes, usually either studied hard on her own for the second semester of her sophomore year or went to Orange Technology for an internship.
As for Lu Cheng's own studies, there is no need to say much about computer science, and he has already taken architecture courses until his junior year.
If Lu Cheng had not had to take into account the development of the company, it would have taken him less than two years to complete the five-year architecture course.
The school leaders learned that Lu Cheng had amassed a fortune of tens of millions in just one year and had founded a large electronics factory. They gave Lu Cheng the green light in all subjects and allowed him to take any course he wanted.
Of course, Lu Cheng’s actual net worth is far more than this number, and he also donated one million yuan to the school.
It’s not like Todai has not received donations from outstanding students, but these students usually donate to their alma mater only after they graduate and have achieved success in their careers.
Unlike Lu Cheng, who donated 100 million to his alma mater before even graduating from his freshman year.
Moreover, under Lu Cheng's arrangement, most of the 100 million was donated to the Department of Architecture and the Department of Computer Science.
With these guarantees, even if Lu Cheng does not attend classes, it will not affect his academic performance, let alone his future graduation.
The school leaders even specifically instructed the leaders of the Department of Architecture and the Department of Computer Science to treat special talents in a special way and not to stick to the school's inherent rules.
