Chapter 12 Little Emperor Electronics Industrial Co., Ltd.

  Yang Yun and Alexei rushed to the factory gate, Zhao Yongping half-opened the car door and waved at them, indicating that they should hurry up.

  As expected, Zhao Yongping said: "The transformation of the factory is not unexpected, and the headquarters should approve it!"

  Needless to say, over the past few months, Huamao Electronics Factory has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the headquarters is keeping a close eye on it.

  In April, Zhao Yongping was hired as the factory director. He hired his friend Aleksey, a computer expert from the Soviet Union, at a high salary. The two of them carefully evaluated the existing technology at Huamao Electronics Factory and tried to find new profit points, but they still hadn't made up their minds about what to do.

  At the end of April, Yang Yun appeared and had a conversation with Zhao Yongping. He provided an in-depth analysis of the market prospects, giving him confidence and encouragement to turn over a new leaf and work hard on pirated cassette tapes, bringing electronic factories to test point transformation on home computers FC.

  In early May, the first game was perfectly ported and sold nearly 500,000 orders in just two days!

  In late May, the second version of the cassette tape went offline, with 30 million orders sold in just three days!

  In June, after more than half a month of stocking and sales, local distributors reflected that sales were booming, with constant demands for replenishment, and even sent people to live in the guest house of Huamao Electronics Factory for a long time, going to work every day like workers, keeping an eye on the production line at all times, and grabbing goods as soon as they had the opportunity.

  In July, just after the summer vacation started, kids who bought learning cards in advance became addicted to playing and would surely bring along their neighbors, creating a new wave of subscription craze!

  So after Zhao Yongping straightened his waist, he also had enough confidence. He submitted an application report to the headquarters for the transformation of Huamao Electronics Factory a month ago, and today is the day when the headquarters makes a decision!

  Chongyi Group is located on the most prosperous street in Chongshan City, and its predecessor was the first light industry factory in Chongshan City. In the 80s, it caught up with the good days of selling well in light industrial products. Due to its proximity to Hong Kong, the First Light Industry Factory was ahead of inland enterprises by a big margin in terms of economy and technology, making it one of the most profitable small home appliances for several years, with a lot of money in hand.

  Later the group invested in refrigerator production lines, color TV production lines, and in 1987 also invested in Huamao Electronics Factory, which was expected to provide electronic technical support for its light industry production lines.

  Why is the electronics industry so effective? The characteristics of the electronics industry are high investment, slow technological accumulation, burning money every year, and high returns. This is not a business that invests 1 million this year and can see a return of 2 million next year. If technology cannot keep up with market trends, it will always be limited to being an accessory factory for others.

  At that time, the leader patted his forehead and set up Huamao Electronics Factory, expecting to recover the investment in one year. This kind of good thing is probably only seen on TV, so it's not surprising that Huamao Electronics Factory has been losing money for two or three years in a row.

  In the early years, the group produced refrigerators and color TVs. At that time, there were few domestic competitors, so the group made a lot of money. However, in 1987, everyone in the country saw that refrigerators and color TVs were selling well, resulting in dozens of production lines being put into operation across the country every year. The compressor for refrigerators and the image tube for color TVs could not be produced domestically, which occupied a large amount of national foreign exchange for imports. In the end, a large number of color TVs and refrigerators were produced but could not be sold, resulting in oversupply in the market.

  Rongyi Group's good days did not last long, the tiger was also torn apart by a pack of wolves, and the prices of color TVs and refrigerators plummeted. Sales channels shrank, leading to massive inventory backlog, which dragged down the government of Rongcheng City and the Light Industry Department, who were at their wit's end. It wasn't until the first half of this year that things got a little better. In 1989, domestic prices soared, the renminbi depreciated, and a buying frenzy appeared in the market, and it wasn't until then that the inventory of goods that had been stored for several years slowly recovered.

  The headquarters of the group was struggling, and suddenly learned that Huamao Electronics Factory, which had been losing money for years, turned losses into profits in just three months and contributed tens of millions of dollars in profit. The high-level leaders of the Rongyi Group finally took notice and also wanted to firmly grasp this new profit growth point to get rid of the current predicament of the group.

  So this time's factory affairs meeting was actually a special discussion session between the high-level executives of Rongyang Group and Zhao Yongping and other management personnel of Huamao Electronics, Zhao Yongping called Yang Yun and Aleksey to let them get familiar with each other, also out of kindness.

  Yang Yun's heart wasn't panicked at all, although his appearance had caused Zhao Yongping to transform Huamao Electronics Factory at least two years ahead of schedule. However, he was no longer as afraid as when he first reincarnated.

  This month, the patent for Tetris expired. Alexey and Yang Yun successfully applied for it. At that time, Nintendo's GameBoy had not yet been released, and they did not encounter any difficulties when applying for an international patent. Now that everything has settled down, and history has not punished Yang Yun, he can finally put his mind at ease and appears very calm.

  They have already arranged for the next step, after discussing with Alexei and Yang Yun, they decided to leave here and focus on operating Tetris.

  Yang Yun still wanted to wait and see how things would develop. Conveniently, a factory affairs meeting was about to be held, and he thought he'd take a look at how the higher-ups would deal with him!

  ……

  ……

  The head of the Ruiyi Group is Huang Jianan, and there are also party committee members, several deputy generals in charge of various departments, the director of the group's strategic development department, the financial controller, the sales manager, and a total of 15 or 16 people staring at Zhao Yongping and his entourage.

  Huamao Electronics Factory is not a big company at all. It has been losing money year after year. Every year during the group meeting, the factory director was too ashamed to speak up.

  Zhao Yongping arrived, and everything changed. He was not yet thirty years old, but in front of many department-level cadres, he remained calm and composed, holding a prepared speech draft, from the time he took over as the head of Huamao Electronics Factory to the present, all things were explained clearly and logically.

  Of course, some things such as giving up pirated Super Mario and the underground black dealings with Mao Da Xin and others that affect one's image are all omitted.

  There are orders with verifiable amounts, exaggerated tenfold in a buying frenzy, and an illusory grand prospect. Zhao Yongping skillfully drew a large pie chart for these bosses to see, as this is what leaders love to look at, looking extremely enticing.

  He is also a talent who has worked in factories and studied for a master's degree, so beautifying reports is a familiar task. After the report was finished, almost every high-level leader showed a pleased expression.

  Liu Weiye, the head of the Strategic Development Department, is less than 40 years old and returned from studying in the US last year. He is very optimistic about the electronics industry, saying: "The electronics industry is a sunrise industry! When I was in the US, I went to Silicon Valley in San Francisco, California, where Americans developed the semiconductor transistor industry over ten years into an extremely large industry with annual output values of tens of billions of dollars, astonishing the world! Therefore, when Director Zhao proposed changing the main business of Huamao Electronics Factory to manufacturing Family Computers, I personally completely agree and am very optimistic about you, definitely having a great future!"

  The union chairman, Li Guoqing, sneered: "So to say, the state can't even complete the task of surpassing Britain and America, but Director Liu thinks we can do it?" He was an old man who had come out of struggle, and he couldn't stand this kind of person who had drunk a few years of foreign ink, speaking with a mouthful of "I'm in America, how about that" and mixing English into his Chinese, which was particularly disgusting.

  Liu Weiye was furious: "Chairman Li! Do you have to be so vague and ambiguous in your speech?"

  "Huang Jianan slapped the table: "Stop arguing! Director Liu and Chairman Li have both reached retirement age, they are highly politically aware, he didn't mean to overstep. Everyone has seen the report on Huamao Electronics Factory's application for transformation, today we invited Director Zhao here so that everyone can communicate face-to-face with him, ask any questions directly, and then vote."

  Some leading cadres began to ask questions, and Zhao Yongping answered fluently, with a clear mind and a firm grasp of the situation.

  Yang Yun listened for half a day, feeling that something was not right. The leaders were most concerned about how much profit the Huamiao Electronics Factory could turn in each year after its transformation, how many jobs it could provide, and how much workers' wages could be paid, but they didn't care about product types, planning, upstream and downstream industrial chains, or independent intellectual property rights.

  Zhao Yongping's ability to paint cakes is unquestionable, and his promises are very good, but he has little to say about how to operate them. He knows what the key points are and what is most important.

  Finally, after voting, the top management of Rongyi Group decided to agree to rename Huamao Electronics Factory as Little King Electronic Industrial Company, and the group added an investment of 2 million yuan to purchase a brand new production line, fully supporting Zhao Yongping's entry into the home computer FC field!

  The King of Fighters' Spring has arrived!
