Fulong's relocation to Chengdu is an inevitable result of development. Chengdu's unique talent advantage is the strategic focus that Fulong will strive for in the future.
Fulun Company, which had made this clear in the development direction of the Fulun Basic Law, must intervene and occupy this strategic commanding height as early as possible when it has the power.
Cheng Ran knew that although the electronic information industry in the southwest had not yet taken off, in a year or two, with the promotion of the western development strategy, the related industries in Chengdu would show a trend of wild growth.
In a short time, Chengdu will become the largest information industry economic zone in the entire western region. In that future, electronic information ports and incubator parks will be clustered together, and all the Fortune 500 companies, as long as they are well-known, will open Chengdu branches of their research and design centers here, recruit all kinds of talents, and rely on policies and Chengdu's unique advantages to establish their own strategic rear base.
By that time, those who are qualified to compete in this fertile land are those multinational companies with strong capital and various giants that are well-known in the future. So in Cheng Ran's view, Fulong's advance now is to plant a flag on this strategic high ground that everyone will come to grab in the future, which is of great significance.
To put it simply, just like when those giants were fighting fiercely in the Red Sea, Fulong was like Magellan's fleet, sailing towards a virgin land full of gold, gems and endless hope.
There is a kind of exhilarating feeling of sneaking into a village and shooting without restraint.
Just at this juncture, a piece of news came out.
Fulong invested 30 million yuan to acquire the assets of Huatong Corporation in Chengdu, and took control of the headquarters of Huatong Corporation in Chengdu.
When the news came, there was a sensation in the Fulongshanhai compound. The old people in the previous branch were all stunned, and it became a hot topic in Shanhai for a while.
The main reason was that Fulong had previously sent out a signal that it was planning to buy an old electronics factory as its headquarters and renovate and build a new factory there. This news was only a small piece of news in the Chengdu newspaper.
However, who knew that this was purely a deceptive trick. Fulong sent people to the electronics factory to give people the illusion that it wanted to buy the electronics factory and build a factory. In fact, it was to confuse competitors and make them complacent. In fact, Fulong Company had secretly contacted Huatong Corporation, which had no business and was on the verge of bankruptcy. After intensive negotiations and selling, Huatong Corporation was acquired by Fulong, and this information was exposed for the first time.
When they got the news, Zhao Pingchuan's faction, which had been at odds with Cheng Feiyang in the compound before, and Sun Zhuofu, who is currently doing relatively well in Shanhai but was forever hurt by not being able to take over Fulong Company, were also shocked. Later, they had to admire Fulong's brilliant business strategy.
Huatong Head Office was once an excellent enterprise in Chengdu with an annual output value of 1 billion yuan. It also won a series of honors. But who would have thought that in just five or six years, Huatong Company, which insisted on being an agent, did not focus on technological research and development, and even placed its main R&D and technical teams in the Shanhai Branch, would suffer a rapid decline when faced with social transformation.
In the past three years, the company has been in a tragic situation of cutting its own flesh and blood to survive, constantly carrying out asset restructuring and debt divestiture. Last year, there was even a meeting within Huatong Company to discuss whether to retain the Shanhai Branch as a high-quality asset.
However, when the evaluation team from the head office came, they encountered an internal struggle in Shanhai. The struggle ended with Cheng Feiyang's defeat and the evaluation team returned empty-handed. In just one year, Huatong Company declined rapidly in the changing world around it. The building that used to be crowded with people and proudly stood tall is now empty, with only a few people still working, but it is also not far from death.
At that time, Zhao Pingchuan and others looked very proud and confident of victory. Thinking back on it now, I am afraid that every current employee of Fulong Company would break out in a cold sweat. If Huatong Shanhai had been merged into the head office, it would have to endure the same decline again a year later, and the outcome would probably be that everyone would have to pay a severance pay and lose their jobs.
In fact, at this time, Fulong’s main competitor in Chengdu, Beituo Company, had already noticed Fulong’s plan to enter Chengdu. However, when Fulong approached the electronics factory for negotiations, Beituo initially judged that it would take a long time for Fulong to gain a foothold in Chengdu.
Because various links such as building a factory, relocation, and running-in will take time.
At this time on the battlefield in Chengdu, this period of time is enough for competitors to increase their investment, such as public relations with government departments and related units, to increase the difficulty of Fulun's entry.
Anyone can figure out that by building a moat, they can trap the Fulong Company outside the city.
However, this is also the reason why they are too optimistic.
Perhaps he was worried that Beituo would know the news in advance and ruin the situation, so Fulong kept the process of swallowing up Huatong secret.
Until the final exposure.
Although Huatong Company was in decline, it had ready-made factories, machine rooms, equipment, and even a group of skilled personnel trained in the past. These people were recruited back and, through Fulong's transformation, they would adapt to the current production and research and development as soon as possible and reorganize their combat effectiveness.
This is almost the fastest way for Fulong to land.
In order to win this battle, Cheng Ran knew that Fu Long's negotiation team almost lived in the headquarters of Huatong Company, working day and night to hammer out every detail. This was the spirit that Fu Long had when he emerged from the mountains and seas.
After the branch became independent, its journey of returning to Chengdu to merge and acquire the head office was written into reports and became an inspirational example.
For a moment, it spread as business news in Chengdu.
The production and R&D department and the president's office will move to Chengdu first, followed by the marketing department, management engineering department, finance department, and administrative department, which will move into Chengdu in batches. The Shanhai side will be set up as the Shanhai Branch, responsible for infiltration and liaison and transit in the western region of the province.
We will try to complete the relocation within one month and deploy strong troops in place.
It was in this context that Cheng Ran came to Chengdu with the President's Office.
