Chapter 499: Regret and Expectation

With half a month left before the Spring Festival in 1997, the sky in Haizhou seems to be contaminated with the hustle and impetuousness before the Spring Festival.

The foundation of the R&D complex has been exposed to the ground. The R&D building is not high, but it covers a large area. After completion, Kewang's factory in the Electronics Industrial Park will extend nearly 100 meters eastward.

Xie Jiannan stood in front of the construction site, wearing a suit and a hard hat, and his brows were slightly frowning under the hard hat. He heard the news that the "Big Four" chose Xinyuan Electric to participate in the new disc machine test this morning. Even though he had expected it before, it would still make people feel frustrated when he actually heard this news.

Chen Jing wore a black wool coat to keep warm in the lead-gray suit with fine lines. She wore bright silk flesh-colored pantyhose on her legs, and her calf was exposed. It was not too cold, but she felt a little weird when she stood on the construction site. She said: "I thought the list of six manufacturers would be announced together. I didn't expect them to confirm Xinyuan Electric first. I heard that Aida Electronics also sent engineers to provide them with technical guidance..."

"They can decide this kind of messy matter by just drawing a circle. It's just to expand the influence of Aida Electronics..." What kind of trick Zhang Ke played, Xie Jiannan could understand, but what could he do? He took the initiative to hold it firmly in his hands, bit his lips lightly, and said, "They determined the Xinyuan Electric Appliances first, and they were also for us to see. 'Kewang knew that Xinyuan would become a strong enemy in the future, and he had to deal with them at this time', you see, that kid was hiding behind his back and thinking so..."

Chen Jing pursed her lips. Perhaps choosing Ada as her opponent at the beginning was the wrong decision.

This month before the Spring Festival is the peak season for home appliance sales. Kewang's Biaowang advertisement was officially broadcast on CCTV this month. Disc player sales naturally increased significantly. Aida Electronics' advertising this month was not particularly strong. However, according to the data obtained from current market monitoring, in January when Kewang, BBK and Aida's three companies rose strongly in the market with CCTV advertising, Aida's market share was not affected. Only Xinke Electronics' sales declined significantly.

As Xie Jiannan said, there is no final decision on the list of manufacturers participating in the test. It seems that endless negotiations are being conducted, but in fact, it is to attract the focus of the media and the public and continue to expand the influence of Aida Electronics.

Chen Jing's eyes that seemed to be able to see through the hearts appeared in her mind. She couldn't find any topics for a while and Xie Jiannan passed the time on the edge of the construction site. After a while of silence, she asked: "Manager Yu and Manager Liu have been to Xinyuan Electric for a long time. I wonder if I can talk about what the result is, right?"

"Who knows?" Xie Jiannan took a step back, and Yu Ping could not talk about Zhou Fuming anytime and anywhere. The key was that she didn't know if there was any secret agreement such as Xinyuan and Aida Electronics. "They seemed to think of the possibility that Su Yiqun would come to Haizhou to be the mayor. They no longer thought about confronting us, but turned to support Xinyuan Electrical Appliances... I think they wanted to change their positions and become referees to make a fuss."

The cell phone in the crocodile skin Kun bag was vibrating. Chen Jing took out her cell phone, looked at the caller ID and said to Xie Jiannan: "Manager Yu's phone number, they may have come back from Xinyuan..." Just as he was about to answer the phone, he saw Yu Ping and Liu Minghui's Buick car that Liu Minghui drove away this afternoon was parked in front of the factory gate. I guess they also saw themselves and Jiannan standing on the construction site.

Yu Ping and Liu Minghui got out of the car, and Wang Jianzhong, director of the R&D center who had just been transferred from Charles Schwab Electronics. Wang Jianzhong is a doctorate in electronic engineering who graduated from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. This time, he and twelve engineers from the microelectronics-related majors under Charles Schwab Electronics were transferred directly to Kewang to strengthen the R&D power here and lead Kewang's R&D work. The driver drove the Buick car into the factory, Yu Ping, Liu Mingping and Wang Jianzhong came over to Xie Jiannan.

Wang Jianzhong is a Hong Kong native, a technology expert, and has not fully integrated into the new company. He is cautious in his words and actions. Yu Ping said indignantly: "Sing Yuan thought he had grasped our weaknesses, but he actually wanted to speak loudly..."

"What do they say?" Xie Jiannan had some expectations about this. Things were too easy to be wrong.

"You say, I can't stand this anger." Yu Ping whispered to Liu Minghui.

"We did not refuse to send technicians to participate in the test, but we have to be responsible for all the equipment and expenses required for the test. After the test, these equipment will be kept in SGD, and they also directly offered a price..."

"How many?" Xie Jiannan browed.

"Ten million!" Liu Minghui said, "They are blackmailing."

"They are blackmailing," Xie Jiannan breathed, he did not doubt this at all, "but you will continue to talk tomorrow."

"Oh." Liu Minghui responded, and now he could only bear the anger.

"I heard that Aida Electronics implements equity rewards to the supervisors of the first-level department. Do you know this?" Xie Jiannan looked at Liu Minghui.

"Oh, I heard some news, but I didn't care too much..." Liu Minghui could only talk about this in a plain tone, but how could he not care? Zhou Yiping, Yang Yun, Xiao Jinyi and other first-level departments received common stock equity rewards ranging from 3,000 to 10,000 shares in this equity incentive plan of Aida Electronics. This time, Aida Electronics received an overseas financing of US$400,000, which gave Aida Electronics a reference target for the value of common stocks. Ten thousand shares of common stocks is US$400,000. Even if he doesn't leave Aida, it will not be much different. I heard the news yesterday that I tossed and turned all night at night and rushed to the office in the morning. Some opinions on work were different from Xie Zhan. After arguing for a few words, she scolded Xie Zhan with a stern face. If she could choose again, if she could choose again... Liu Minghui sighed in his heart, trying his best not to let the emotions in his heart appear on his face.

"Do it well, and you will give it to you everything you should have." Xie Jiannan's time to look at people was no worse than anyone else. He patted Liu Minghui on the shoulder and walked towards the factory with them.

When Liu Minghui was upset about leaving Aida, Cheng Hanzhang and Xiao Jincheng had completely different feelings. Ding informed them that Zhang Ke would take time to discuss cooperation directly with them in the afternoon.

The two of them have been stranded in Haizhou for a week. They not only communicated with the staff of the Jinhu Electronic Technology Research Institute, but also learned in detail about the research work being carried out by the Taite Optoelectronics Research Institute. They have contacted the senior management of Aida Electronics, such as Su Jindong, Jiang Wei, Lu Qingsheng, and Ding Lei, and also had conversations with Chen Xinsheng, Aimo, Zhang Yaping, and Zhao Minglun who have been staying in Haizhou. Undoubtedly, only in this way can we fully understand Jinhu.

A high-tech company that has only been rising for two years is full of glory. Its excellence is not dim when compared with those technology companies with starry stars in Silicon Valley.

Cheng Hanzhang and Xiao Jincheng didn't know how to use to increase the bargaining chips for transferring ESS and joining Jinhu. During this week, Ding Huai never mentioned specific cooperation terms with them, but their inner defense line was forced to retreat inch by inch.

In the afternoon, Cheng Hanzhang and Xiao Jincheng discussed technical issues with the technicians of the Jinhu Electronic Technology Research Institute in the component equipment branch on Chengshan Road, but they were unable to concentrate. The agreed time was getting closer and closer. There was no doubt that ESS was sold to Jinhu, and there was no other better way to go. However, if you want to join in, you had to re-examine the chips in your heart.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the factory and R&D building were very quiet, and the sound of vehicles entering the parking lot was clearly visible. After a while, Ding Huai pushed the door and invited them to his office. Cheng Hanzhang and Xiao Jincheng stood up, and Ding Chunjian, the youngest chief engineer in Jinhu, stood up and shook hands with them: "I look forward to working with you in Jinhu..."

Cheng Hanzhang felt soft and thought to himself: Just sign whatever conditions you want.

It is unquestionable that Kumho has recruited a group of the best technical R&D personnel. On the basis of the extremely weak microelectronics technology in the mainland, they are still very lucky to have been in contact with high-end technologies in the microelectronics field, which is closely related to the high-tech expansion ideas that Kumho has always adhered to.

Xiao Jincheng calmed down a little, patted Cheng Hanzhang on the shoulder, and walked into his office with Ding Huai.

Zhang Ke was sitting on a high-back leather chair behind Ding Huai's desk, looking at the dark purple Xiangshan forest outside the glass curtain wall, hearing the sound of the office door being pushed open, and turned the chair over with his feet, stood up, and handed Cheng Hanzhang with three documents in his hand. Xiao Jincheng said, "This is the condition for Jinhu to acquire ESS and invite the two to join Jinhu. You can take a look and ask if there is any problem..."

Cheng Hanzhang and Xiao Jincheng took the document and first read the offer documents for Jinhu to acquire ESS. Jinhu offered to acquire all ESS equity for one million US dollars. This price is acceptable, and other conditions are reasonable. Next, look at their respective employment agreements.
