Chapter 88: Big Move

The little communication between him and several secretaries and even with Lin Yaxian was just a little change in life. Xu Shenxue basically did not regard these things as the focus of his life.

Most of the time he is busy with company matters.

Among many matters, he was more concerned about mass production and sales in the early stages.

As mass production and sales became more stable, Xu Shenxue shifted the focus of his work to R&D.

After returning to the company this time, Xu Shenxue found that there were more people in the R&D department, and he immediately distributed scientific research quotas one by one.

In February and March, due to the launch and success of Zhiyun mobile phone, Xu Shenxue obtained a large number of achievement points. The total achievement points in two months added up to more than 10,000 points.

Among these achievement points, in addition to business achievement points, there are also some reputation achievement points. In addition, Xu Shenxue also discovered that business achievement points do not increase in direct proportion to the increase in sales or profits... In the past, tens of millions of monthly sales could also earn hundreds of achievement points.

Now the monthly sales have reached more than 1 billion, but the achievement points are only a few thousand.

It seems that the higher the sales amount, the larger the number required to obtain achievement points.

Xu Shenxue hasn't figured out the specific proportion yet. The sample size is insufficient, so it's difficult to analyze... Besides, it's useless to analyze. Just use as many achievement points as the system gives you.

Xu Shenxue used these achievement points to exchange for a large number of D-level scientific research places, and then distributed them to the R&D personnel of Zhiyun Technology and Wecoo Electronics, and the engineers and technical backbones of Wecoo Industrial.

However, although Xu Shenxue's achievement points are increasing, the number of people under him in the company is also increasing.

Not to mention Zhiyun Technology, the number of scientific research personnel of various types has exceeded one thousand, and is still increasing rapidly... Zhiyun Technology signed a tripartite employment agreement with a large number of students during the campus recruitment. After these students officially graduate and join the company, the number of R&D personnel of various types is expected to exceed three thousand.

Covering various hardware, software and other R&D work in various fields.

The R&D scale of Weiku Electronics is smaller, but it now has more than 200 people.

There are more and more R&D personnel, and Xu Shenxue's achievement points are still not enough, so most of them can only be awarded the lowest level D-level places.

Only some leading scientific research leaders or project leaders of important projects who need to focus on key research and are under a tight time schedule will be given C-level places.

As for the B-level quota, it is too expensive, requiring a full one thousand points. Currently, Xu Shenxue has no plans to redeem it.

Xu Shenxue estimated that he would have to accumulate more achievement points for another year or so. At the same time, there would not be a large number of new R&D personnel. Only then would it be the time to widely use C-level or even try a few B-level scientific research quotas.

Now, there’s no point in thinking about it.

After looking through the system list, Xu Shenxue issued D-level quotas to the employees who had recently joined the company and had not yet been given scientific research quotas.

Then he looked at the remaining 1,000 points and immediately redeemed five C-level points. These C-level points were mainly used by the technical backbones of several key project teams of the flagship machine project.

Even with the support of the new scientific research system, Xu Shenxue found that the development of a flagship phone was still relatively difficult.

Let’s not talk about anything else for now, let’s just talk about that crappy aluminum alloy body… Actually, they have already made the aluminum alloy body, and Xu Shenxue has also seen the effect, it’s pretty good!
But the cost is too high. If it is really used directly, it will greatly increase the cost of the entire mobile phone, and ultimately lead to meager hardware profits.

So in the past month, the aluminum alloy fuselage project team, well, actually the R&D department of the newly acquired wholly-owned subsidiary 'Anlong Precision Machinery Co., Ltd.', has been working overtime to improve the production process in an attempt to further reduce costs.

This project is directly related to the success of the future flagship phone, so Xu Shenxue attaches great importance to it. He has already given two C-level places to the project, and all other R&D employees have also been given D-level places.

But it was still not enough, so this time Xu Shenxue simply threw three C-level places over, bringing the number of core technical backbones with C-level scientific research places in the aluminum alloy fuselage project team to five.

This number is even greater than that of the chip R&D department, that is, Zhiyun Semiconductor...

Zhiyun Semiconductor currently has only four C-level employees, all of whom are top talents who have returned from large foreign chip design companies. Their basic annual salary is all over one million, and they also receive options!

When it comes to the importance of R&D projects, Xu Shenxue definitely pays more attention to chips... However, the process technology of aluminum alloy body has not been able to make a breakthrough, so Xu Shenxue has no choice but to increase investment.

Not only did the human resources department poach and recruit top-level talents, but it also directly allocated five C-level vacancies.

Xu Shenxue just couldn't believe that he couldn't fix that broken aluminum alloy body. This thing wasn't some Zenith technology. It was used in the original time and space by the Fruit 5. There was no reason why others could make it, but the R&D team he formed couldn't!

After finishing the work on the scientific research system, Xu Shenxue ran to the Zhiyun Technology R&D Department downstairs to check the R&D progress!

The reason why we have to run downstairs is because Zhiyun Technology has moved to a few floors downstairs.

As Zhiyun Technology gradually expanded, the number of R&D personnel at Vico Electronics also increased! Xu Shenxue gradually rented some other floors of the Insurance Building. The 29th floor was allocated to Vico Electronics' R&D department, and Vico Electronics' administrative department and Vico Trade moved to the 30th floor.

The four newly rented floors, the 27th, 26th, 25th and 23rd, were allocated to Zhiyun Technology.

There were actually some other companies scattered on these floors, but Daxia’s property management company cooperated by providing compensation and helping with relocation, allowing them to move to other floors to work.

This freed up a total of six floors for Zhiyun Technology and Weiku Electronics.

However, the property management of the Insurance Building said that if they wait another three or four months, they can vacate five entire floors for Zhiyun Technology to use.

In response to the cooperation and coordination of the Insurance Building Property Management Company, as well as the rental discounts offered, Xu Shenxue naturally reciprocated the favor and directly reserved the fifth floor.

But even so, Xu Shenxue asked people to start paying attention to more office buildings. It would be best to rent an entire building. In addition to office buildings, it would be best if there could also be a supporting research building or something.

But it’s not easy!

After all, it is not easy to find an office building of this size and that is suitable for rent.

As for building my own office building and laboratory building...it's not the right time yet, and I don't have the money!

On the other hand, Weiku Industrial has already started contacting Guanwai Anhua, preparing to build a large-scale factory there... Although this is just a factory that seems to have no technical content, the total investment will actually be very large. It is estimated that the first phase of investment will reach 1.3 billion yuan, and the designed annual production capacity will reach 10 million units.

There will be a second and third issue later!

WeCool Industry does not have that much money at all. Most of the funds actually need to be financed by local banks... But there is no need to worry about not being able to obtain a loan, because WeCool Industry was repeatedly invited by the local government to open a factory in the past.

The conditions in all aspects are very favorable. Low-interest bank loans are provided, a large amount of industrial land is sold at super low prices in the local high-tech industrial park, and sufficient industrial land is reserved for later expansion. The annual tax incentives of all parties are also maximized.

Why does the local area attach so much importance to it... It's simple, because it can provide a large number of jobs and tax revenue.

This type of OEM factory is, to some extent, a labor-intensive industry and can accommodate a very large number of employed people.

At the same time, Weiku Industry will not only go there itself, but will also bring a large number of supply chain companies with it.

This will bring significant benefits to the overall economic development of the local area.

Xu Shenxue is also happy that his company will continue to grow and develop locally. After all, Shenzhen has a very complete supply chain, convenient transportation, and a business environment that is second to none among many cities.

Many things can be done conveniently and quickly, and you can get all kinds of support!

It will take time for Weiku Industrial to set up this new factory. It is estimated that it will take more than a year before it can be put into production.

As for now, we still have to rely on the OEM factory.

Based on the 80/20 principle, Xu Shenxue also sent people to inspect several other large OEM factories, such as Foxconn, Luxshare Precision, etc., and prepared to select one or two more OEM factories to produce mobile phones.

At no time should you allow a single partner to control your lifeline!
This is also true in the foundry field.

In the field of production and assembly, Xu Shenxue plans to walk on two legs... On the one hand, he will continue to develop his own factories with a slightly smaller scale, and on the other hand, he will look for two or three large-scale OEM factories at the same time.

If Zhiyun Technology builds its own factory, it can obtain loan support and other support, but if it wants to build an office building, it will be more difficult.

After all, the local area doesn’t need any architectural landmarks…Looking around, there are only skyscrapers everywhere, and yours doesn’t matter!
Therefore, it is unrealistic to seek support loans to repair the building, and my own money is not enough.

So now we can only continue to rent an office building.

Because Zhiyun Technology’s R&D department was just downstairs, Xu Shenxue didn’t bother taking the elevator, but went down the stairs directly.

After arriving at Zhiyun Technology downstairs, Xie Jianyong and Song Changhai, who had received the notice in advance, were waiting at the door.

When Xu Shenxue saw the two men, he said with a cheerful smile: "Hey, we are all family, why are you being polite? Come on, come on, go in!"

While greeting people to go inside, he continued, "How is it going? Have you encountered any problems at work recently? And how are the telecommunications and mobile versions of C1 going?"
