Rebirth Starts From 2006

Using a barley factory to gradually replace Palm's production capacity is what Zhou Daoen suggested to Chen Yang and Huang Shan two weeks after he took office, just as the acquisition was going on.

"ODM, that is, Original Design Manufacturer, is an original design manufacturer, which is a higher-level foundry model than OEM, that is, an original equipment manufacturer.

The biggest difference between ODM and foundries is that OEM factories only carry out OEM production, and the design needs to be completed by Party A, while ODM manufacturers complete everything from design to production by themselves, and the buyer can directly OEM. This kind of OEM The method has been adopted by many large foundries, such as Futukang. "

Chen Yang nodded secretly. That's right. At that time, he asked Futukang to manufacture barley, using the ODM model. No wonder Futukang agreed so simply. It turned out that they had this kind of business themselves.

Daomai is still gesticulating with his hands, "I have learned about Damai's research and development capabilities. Except for the core system and peripheral software, Palmi's products can completely be provided by Damai. ODM business, responsible for a series of design work from internal hardware structure to appearance, and for They do contract work."

Chen Yang glanced at the former palm operations director in surprise. This guy's position has changed very quickly. He has only been here for half a month, and he is thinking of dismantling his old club.

Hey, isn't his original employer also himself? Is this playing at your own pace?

However, this suggestion is quite satisfactory.

Barley has more production capacity, solves more jobs, creates more social value, and helps itself even more.

As for the palm company, you are an American company, just be a tool honestly, don't expect too much,

Besides, isn't their core technology still preserved? It's better than some domestic mobile phone brands that have nothing but a brand!

Then Zhou Daoen said again,

The reorganized Palm is expected to return to the first-class position in the same industry in the United States, but if it needs to maintain a certain social influence, then it is really impossible to abolish all the factories.

Because in the United States, employment is also a very important political bargaining chip.

How do you say that sentence, by the way, there are many people with great power!

Therefore, keep the lowest production capacity of Palm's own factory under the existing conditions, maintain the staff size at a certain level, and even slightly increase the number of people,

Then transfer the increased product demand to domestic production,

On the one hand, it can reduce production costs, on the other hand, it can also provide sufficient production demand for the upcoming second-phase barley factory,

Cooperation will benefit both, and this is the most suitable arrangement for Barley and Palm.

When Huang Shan heard this suggestion, she directly proposed, "Although it is necessary to keep Palm's own production line, it does not mean that all products must be completed in this factory from beginning to end.

We can make appropriate adjustments in the process, place the part with higher requirements on workers and the highest technical content in China, and put the relatively simple processes of final assembly, testing and packaging in American factories. Isn't it also possible to achieve the goal? ! "

As soon as these words came out, both Chen Yang and Zhou Daoen nodded in agreement,

Zhou Daoen was also inspired, "The original hardware R\u0026D team of Palm Company will gradually shift to the work of the first and last two links. The first end is to provide original ideas and determine the feasibility, and then Damai will carry out the follow-up design work. After the design is completed, then Deliver the results of the prototype to palm for testing."

When Chen Yang heard it, he couldn't help wiping off his cold sweat, good guy, this is going to empty out the palm,

Immediately couldn't help but slapped his thigh, "Just do it!"

Zhou Daoen also suggested, "Participating in political governance is a tradition of American companies, and appropriate donations are unavoidable.

Small businesses participate in city-level elections, larger ones participate in state-level elections, and larger companies take part in all elections, so betting level by level,

It just so happens that this year is also an election year in the United States. At least choosing a suitable target to bet on will help the PALM Group continue to maintain its tradition and not stand alone. "

Without further ado, Chen Yang agreed immediately.

So, there is this scene in front of you,

Originally, Huang Shan thought that she might have to spend some words to persuade Patrick McVeigh to agree to the production line transfer plan.

but,

Can't think of it, can't think of it,

Under the threat of the company's former CEO, in order to keep his position and further ascend to the position of chairman of the soon-to-be-established PALM Group, Patrick not only does not need to be persuaded, but even listens to the strings to know the elegance, and actively caters to the plan, saving her troubles. less effort,

And Patrick doesn't have the slightest psychological burden. Isn't he just splitting out part of the production and R\u0026D links? The Detroit Big Three have done this before, and many colleagues are doing the same. Why can't Palm? !

Anyway, as long as I am, no, it’s good that Palm can make money, and nothing else matters.

Not to mention that this is the boss' request,

As for the one-year time given here, the R\u0026D team’s design can’t exceed Barley’s so-and-so,

Hehe, what is the judging criteria? Who is the referee?

In the end, the board of directors has the final say!

Of course, in the end, Boss Chen has the final say.

...

Coming out of the palm company, Huang Shan got into the Lincoln extended concierge car provided by Honggu Capital America, took out her mobile phone and called Boss Chen,

"Hey, Boss, everything is done, it's all finalized according to the results of our previous discussions, there is no discrepancy,

Yes, it went well, I can fly back tomorrow,

ok, i know, it's ok,

Still, are we really not thinking about hedging? Although all the chips on Palm's side have been given to Donkey Party, there are still 5,500 employees at New United Motor Company. Before transferring to Tesla, we can also use the name of this company to sponsor Elephant Party.

Betting on both sides is not a problem. In fact, except for people with very clear political tendencies or clear demands, most companies are used to betting on both sides.

No matter who is elected, it is good for them, at least to ensure that their own interests will not suffer too much damage, and those who lose will also return friendship, they are not useless,

What? Can? "

Hearing that Boss Chen changed his mind, Huang Shan was a little surprised, but she also thought it was normal. Before knowing the actual situation, didn't she also think that she could only sponsor one person?

Who cares who wins if you can hedge your bets? !

Then he asked, "Who is sponsoring? McCain?"

McCain is the most powerful candidate of the Elephant Party this term. Facing a black boy, this white player is full of confidence. In fact, people from all walks of life generally believe that his chances of winning are very high.

But Boss Chen's answer surprised her a little.

"Huh? Don't donate to individuals?

Just give it to the public institutions of the Elephant Party, just a few million dollars?

oh, I see……

Okay, I understand, okay, I will tell them to do this, so as not to delay my return to China tomorrow, um, goodbye. "

Putting away her mobile phone, Huang Shan couldn't help raising her eyebrows. If she didn't donate to Xiangdang, it means that the boss still only cares about that black boy of Donkey Party.

Well, the boss is indeed a master in macroeconomic control, but I don't know if he can guess very accurately in social aspects as well as in economics? !

...

April 22nd, Tuesday, it is advisable to open, start work, open, and make a stove,

Damai Technology Building, and the Huahuo Technology Building next to it, the bottom six floors are connected podium buildings, of which the sixth floor has a floor height of 6.8 meters. The multi-functional conference hall is more than sufficient.

The nearly 2,000-square-meter hall has a 1.2-meter-high stage at the front end.

The stage alone is more than 200 square meters. The background wall of the stage is an LED display screen covering the entire wall.

Under the stage, there are 600 seats. Considering the capacity of this space, 600 seats are quite comfortable.

At the end of the hall, there is a platform slightly higher than the stage, about two meters high, and ten meters deep. This is the media area, which can accommodate thirty to fifty media outlets for all-round live broadcast reports ,

Of course, it is not impossible to have more, even if the experience will be slightly worse, there is no need for this.

At 9:30 in the morning, there are already people in the media booth,

While debugging the equipment, a reporter from Guangdong TV looked at the colleagues around him in surprise, "Why are all the TV stations in Jiangbei Province coming to the barley product launch event?"

I still remember the press conference in October last year. There were only a few local media represented by Guangzhou local stations and provincial stations. I didn’t expect this year to be so lively, even satellite TVs from other provinces came.

The Jiangbei satellite TV photographer curled his lips and pointed to the best position in the middle, "Even CCTV is here, why don't we come? Anyway, Chen Yang can be regarded as a Jiangbei person anyway, so he can't save face." Give it!"

The reporter looked over in surprise, hey, it's true, I was brought over by the staff just now, and I didn't notice that the best seat was taken.

However, CCTV?

Oh, barley is big enough,

I just don't know how much money was spent on transportation this time.

More than 20 TV media, large and small, and more than 30 Internet and print media arrived one after another, crowding this not-so-small media area.

At the same time, guests began to enter the venue.

Last year, the general manager of Longjiang Province, who had been to Guangzhou once, walked in with a briefcase in his hand. Just as he walked out of the passage, a flash of light appeared behind him, which made him turn around quickly.

swipe, swipe,

Ouch my eyes!

The staff hurried forward, "Hello, who are you?"

Before the general manager could speak, the staff of Damai's marketing center followed up and quickly held his arm, "Mr. Zhao, what's the matter?"

"it's okay no problem,"

Mr. Zhao also came back to his senses at this moment, lowered his head, looked at the flickering lights on the ground, and couldn't help asking, "Xiao Li, why did your company hire so many media?"

"Didn't you say it yesterday? There is an important announcement today. Of course the media must be invited over,"

Xiao Li saw that he was fine, so he stretched out his hand to lead the way, "Mr. Zhao, please, let me tell you about today's matter..."

Mr. Zhao from Longjiang, Mr. Yang from Shanxi, Mr. Wang from Shandong... all provincial representatives arrived soon and were arranged in an area on the left side of the front.

There is one representative for each province, there is no entourage quota, and no entry will be given when they come.

After these provincial representatives sat down, some people couldn't bear it, and slipped to the front row of seats next door to see who was coming,

After reading it, I was startled, and quickly slipped back, and then blah blah, blah blah,

"Souhu, Qiandu, Goose Factory, Netyi and other major Internet companies are here. There are also chip companies and software companies. I don't know what they are doing. Anyway, they look awesome!"

Some people are surprised that Damai is launching a new product launch event, why invite these companies?

Then they also ran over to watch the excitement, watching and watching, these guests all entered the venue one after another.

At around 10:15, almost all the 600 seats at the venue were filled.

At this time, a group of more than ten people came out from the small door next to the front stage, and the leader was Chen Yang.

Sending the guests to sit in the front row, Chen Yang took the microphone from the Miss Etiquette, and went directly onto the stage.

bang bang bang,

Tapped the microphone three times, and when the scene was quiet, Chen Yang raised his hand, brought the microphone to his mouth, and said with a smile, "Guests, developers, partners, and friends from the media, first of all, welcome to Damai 2008 Summer New Product launch, cum, Hongmeng Operating System Developers Conference."

Following his speech, the large LED screen behind was lit up, displaying a few lines of large characters, which was Damai's 2008 Summer New Product Launch Conference, cum Hongmeng Operating System Developers Conference.

Everyone else is okay, the main reason is that there are some whispers in the agent area, but seeing that other places are quiet, they quickly shut up,

And the media area behind is already confused, Hongmeng operating system?

What the hell?

Could it be a computer operating system like Windows?

No, Damai doesn't make computers, it should be more likely an operating system for smartphones!

So, Damai has developed the first domestic mobile phone operating system?

hell

For such a big event, Damai didn't reveal any rumors in advance?

Do you know how many selling points there are? Confidentiality is not such a guarantee,

Besides, the meeting has already started, at least some information will do!

Chen Yang didn't care about the little commotion in the audience, and continued with a smile, "I'm very happy to see so many people coming to the meeting today. To be honest, I was a little nervous just last night. , what are you nervous about?

Of course I was afraid that no one would come! "

There was a slight burst of laughter at the scene.

Chen Yang waved his hand and said with a smile, "Really, I'm not joking. Why are you afraid that no one will come? Naturally, it is because our Hongmeng operating system is a brand new system that has just been developed. It has no popularity and no application platform. no this, no that,

When I first started working on this system, I didn’t dare to show it with great fanfare, but I just found a few mice, such as Goose Factory, Qiandu and Suhu.”

The three bosses in the audience all gestured contemptuously, and Chen Yang calmly returned a salute, "I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the three bosses for their great support!"

After a burst of applause, Chen Yang continued, "Through the development of the application software around the Hongmeng system through the three partners, we have finally confirmed one thing, that is, the Hongmeng system can be used by him!"

There was another burst of laughter,

Chen Yang raised his hand and pressed it, and said with a smile, "Since this is the case, then we have nothing to fear. So, less than two months ago, we started to formulate the Red League developer plan and officially started implementing it a month ago. "

He said and pointed to Zhou Daoen in the audience, "Here, on behalf of the board of directors of Damai and all the students of Damai, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Zhou. It is his hard work that has found so many talents for Damai within a month." Developers Union!"

Zhou Daoen raised his hand and waved, his eyes narrowed into a smile.
