PFC Chapter 183 Pager On
Chapter 183 Pager On
Liu Dongdong slammed the table, his eyes determined: "Junior brother, let's do this business!"
Chen Feng grinned and responded readily, "Big Sister, what else can I, Chen Feng, say? We are fellow disciples. Your business is my business. I fully support you!"
Brother Zhao interrupted at this moment, full of confidence: "I can get the code done for you in a week. But how do we handle the production?"
Chen Feng was stunned, his brows raised slightly: "You mean, I have to write the code myself and build the pager myself?"
Senior Brother Zhao rolled his eyes: "What else do you think?"
Chen Feng gave a thumbs-up and exclaimed, "Awesome! Really awesome! You can do instant messaging, what a creative idea. Now let me ask you, if I want a special machine where I can send a special command and the other party can receive it immediately, is that possible?"
Senior Brother Zhao pondered for a moment: "It's limited to one person against one person."
"Yes, it is two-way communication with one person, like adding a special button or something." Chen Feng added.
Senior Brother Zhao patted his chest and said, "It's easy. I'll fix it for you!"
Chen Feng smiled with satisfaction and nodded: "Okay! I'll take care of the production. We're now partners, is that okay with you?"
A few days later, Liu Dongdong and Senior Brother Zhao called Chen Feng to the department with the freshly-made code.
Chen Feng is now also a technical backbone in the computer major. He can understand the idea just by scanning the code.
He thought to himself, this thing may seem complicated, but the key lies in the idea. Programming is not difficult, the difficult part is the first person who has a flash of inspiration.
After reading the code, Chen Feng started preparing for the opening of the factory without saying a word.
This was a piece of cake for him. Renting a space and buying equipment were all things he knew well from his previous experience working in an electronics factory.
With the site secured, the next step was equipment. He needed all the necessary equipment for circuit board production: etching machines, drilling machines, and electroplating equipment. He also needed equipment for mounting, soldering, and debugging electronic components, as well as injection molding machines for the housings. Chen Feng compiled a list and prepared to purchase everything.
The technical requirements of a pager were nothing to him.
In his previous life, Chen Feng worked with someone in an electronics factory in Dongguan City, specializing in small household appliances for OEM export. His partner at that time started his business with pagers.
So he is so familiar with this production process that he can handle it effortlessly, even better than running a winery.
This time, he was just thinking about renting a place to restart the business, but somehow the news reached the ears of Professor Chi and Dean Shang of the Computer Science Department.
That day, Dean Shang called him to his office, and Professor Chi was also there.
As soon as Chen Feng entered the room, Professor Chi couldn't wait to ask, "I heard you guys want to start a business?"
Chen Feng smiled and replied, "Yes, a buddy brought back a project from the Special Zone. Senior Brother Zhao immediately took a fancy to it, and Senior Sister was also interested. As a junior brother, how could I not support it?"
Professor Chi nodded in praise. "Then I definitely have to support you. You're both pillars of the Computer Science Department, my most talented students. Starting a business together, how can a professor like me not stand up for you?"
After saying this, he turned to Dean Shang and said, "Dean, don't you agree?"
Dean Shang laughed and said jokingly, "Old Chi, are you setting me up? But of course the school supports it. I'd have to think twice about choosing someone else, but Xiao Chen, no problem! We have a piece of land on campus, you can use it. Put up a sign for a school-run enterprise, and you can get a lot of tax reductions. It will be easier to apply for industry-university-research projects and funding in the future. What do you think?"
When Chen Feng heard this, he was overjoyed.
The title of Ninghai University-run enterprise is a golden signboard that can bring numerous benefits.
In addition, it can reduce a lot of trouble. Ninghai University is directly under the ministry. With the university as a backing, those local authorities who want to cause trouble for them will have to think twice.
He quickly expressed his support: "Principal, with your support, how can we not bring honor to the school? When we make money in the future, we will definitely pay the full management fee!"
Principal Shang laughed heartily again: "That's great, you guys can do whatever you want."
In fact, Principal Shang really doesn't care about the small amount of management fee.
After all, Chen Feng’s Phnom Penh company has already built a teachers’ building for the school, which is a real contribution.
How much is the management fee of a small electronics factory?
This is actually a way of returning a favor. After all, the teachers' community has made Principal Shang famous in the entire education system!
The issue of the site has been neglected. There is an old factory building just a few steps away from the school parking lot. The school used it to make steel in the early years. That was in the 1950s. Later, it was abandoned and has been idle ever since.
Now that's good, Chen Feng and his team have taken over.
After checking out the site conditions, they are actually pretty good, except that it is a bit barren. However, the area is sufficient, and it’s just a matter of building the framework of a factory, which is very quick!
After more than a month of hard work, including building a factory and purchasing equipment, the Ningda Electronic Communications Equipment Factory was finally opened.
The equipment and other things were all purchased by Chen Feng with his own money, so he holds the most shares, followed by his two partners Liu Dongdong and Senior Brother Zhao. Ninghai University also holds some shares, but not much, just for the sake of reputation.
But when the factory really opened, Chen Feng really missed Bao Guoqiang.
Managing a factory is a lot of work. As soon as Bao Guoqiang went to Shenzhen, he became very busy.
Senior Sister and Senior Brother Zhao are good at technology, but they are completely clueless about management and factory operation. Besides, they are busy with the operating system and have no time to spare.
There was no other choice, so Chen Feng had to drag Xu Wei over from Jinshan Winery.
Unexpectedly, Xu Wei gave him a big surprise when she arrived. This girl is really capable. She comes from a business family in the foreign land and her background is different.
Within a few days of her arrival, she had the factory in perfect order.
Chen Feng was released.
The next step was recruiting. Xu Wei planned to poach people from state-owned factories, and the conditions he offered were extremely tempting.
These days, most people only earn a few dozen yuan a month, and senior engineers in state-owned factories are no exception.
Xu Wei, on the other hand, directly offered 500 yuan a month, and double pay at the end of the year. When the news was published in the newspaper, it caused a sensation.
You know what, she really found a treasure.
One is Ma Zhendong, a retired engineer from an aircraft components factory; the other is Hu Anshan from the Electronic Instrument Research Institute.
With the arrival of these two people, the technical difficulties in pager production were solved. All that was left was to recruit some general workers, give them some training, and then the assembly line could be up and running.
The two units that were poached were naturally unhappy, but at this time the halo of Ninghai University's enterprise came into play.
If it were a private enterprise, they would have thrown a tantrum. But this is Ninghai University, so let it go.
Look at the houses where the teachers live. If you continue to compete with Ninghai University, your own employees will quit first. Okay, no more trouble!
Not only did they not make a fuss, the leaders of the two state-owned enterprises even took the initiative to call President Shang, saying that they supported Ninghai University and were sending talents to you!
