The information of this technology company was placed in front of Lu Zixin, and Su Zhirong introduced: "Wangtang Electronic Technology Company was established in 2006, and it has been more than ten years. The founder, Tang Gang, studied abroad in the island country to further his electronic technology. I have been working in the island country for several years. I returned from the island country to start a business ten years ago and established Wangtang Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. "
"Earlier, Wangtang Technology was engaged in the business of mobile phone foundry. The specific model was to first obtain orders from downstream smartphone brand operators, then purchase corresponding components from upstream suppliers, and then entrust third-party mobile phone foundries for assembly and processing..."
"Later they started independent research and development and production."
"From 2011 to 2013, the period when domestically produced smartphones exploded. Wangtang Technology also experienced rapid growth, and its annual revenue once reached more than one billion yuan!"
"But since 2015, price competition for domestic mobile phones has intensified, and profits in the low-end smartphone market have been compressed. Wangtang Technology began to decline. By last year, Wangtang's main partners closed down, a large number of orders were put on hold, and the capital chain was broken."
"Now Wangtang Technology has frozen its assets due to arrears and too many lawsuits. It has stopped its business activities and is about to declare bankruptcy."
Lu Zixin glanced at ten lines and quickly read through the information. He said to Su Zhirong: "I saw this information saying that Wangtang Technology has its own mobile phone hardware research and development team? How is it now?"
"The company is about to close down, so the team will naturally take a temporary vacation and go home, which is almost like disbanding." Su Zhirong replied.
"Tang Gang, the CEO of Nawangtang Technology, was almost driven crazy by the debt collectors and salary collectors, and he was looking for help everywhere. But no one was willing to accept this mess. When he heard that our Hongxin wanted to get involved in related fields, he immediately They came here and wanted us to invest in them.”
Lu Zixin began to think that Wangtang Technology had a complete hardware industry chain and R&D team, which was exactly what he lacked. However, you cannot be taken advantage of, and you need to understand the situation in detail before making a decision.
"You talk to him first and clarify all this matter." Lu Zixin listed some matters.
"Shall I go talk?" Su Zhirong was a little surprised. Her current job has always been as Lu Zixin's assistant.
Now she is actually asked to negotiate with the CEO of the company. Although the other party is a "passed" CEO, this kind of business activity is important enough.
"Of course it's you." Lu Zixin affirmed, "Liu Tong and the others are very busy now, and they will have to rely on you for many things in the future. In addition, you can find an assistant to take care of the unimportant things."
Hearing Lu Zixin's words, Su Zhirong was inexplicably moved. Lu Zixin meant that she would also participate in the management of the company in the future, not just as his assistant.
"I will try my best to get it done." Su Zhirong nodded cautiously.
For a few days, Su Zhirong was discussing with Tang Gang and collecting information. Lu Zixin learned more about Wangtang Technology. He was surprised to find that Wangtang Technology was really not that simple. They not only independently developed some mobile phone hardware, but also tried to make a mid-range smartphone called "Wangtang".
However, the phone was not a success and sales were bleak, so the project soon died.
To put it simply, Wangtang Technology Co., Ltd. is a loser that has experienced short-term glory in the fierce market competition, but was still beaten down by others!
None of this is important to Lu Zixin. He took a fancy to the technical personnel, R&D team and industrial chain that Wangtang Technology had accumulated over ten years.
It is very difficult to build a hardware R&D and complete industrial chain from scratch. It would be much more convenient if there were ready-made improvements.
"Tomorrow, I will come to negotiate with Tang Gang." Lu Zixin said.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Su Zhirong nodded.
…
In a chain hotel in Jiangcheng, Tang Gang was frowning and walking around the room.
Although he is only forty years old this year, his hair is already thinning and the Mediterranean Sea is quietly taking shape. Tang Gang held a cigarette between his teeth. Every time he brought it to his mouth, he put it down and sighed slightly.
"Xiao Tang, don't walk around, my eyes are dazzled." Next to him, there was an old man over fifty years old, sitting aside at the moment.
"I'm... anxious! My neighbor called and said that debt collectors have blocked my house. My wife and the children have gone back to her parents' house. The company owes its employees two months' wages, and it can't attract any more investment. , the company is going bankrupt!" Tang Gang said anxiously.
"But it's useless to be anxious." The old man said, "It's better to sit down and think calmly about how to discuss with Hongxin. They didn't reject you directly, but there is still hope."
Tang Gang put out his cigarette and said, "Dai Lao, you are right, I need to calm down."
Dai Liangcai nodded and said, "Don't worry, if there is any need for me, I will definitely help."
Dai Liangcai is the core technical talent of Wangtang Technology's R&D team, and is also an honorary professor of optoelectronic technology at a university in the south. This time Wang Tang encountered a crisis. Tang Gang said he needed his help, and Dai Liangcai came.
Tang Gang said: "As far as I know, Hongxin should be involved in the hardware field. But they do not have their own hardware technical team and related equipment and industries. I invite you here this time because I want you to help prove that we hope Tang The strength of technology allows Hongxin to invest with confidence.”
Dai Liangcai nodded and said: "Of course, our team's R&D level is already top-notch in the country."
"That's not what I'm most afraid of. What I'm most afraid of is that Hongxin is just a temporary intention and doesn't really want to get involved in this field. In other words, they don't care about independent research and development and just want to make quick money to test the waters. In that case, we hope Tang Technology has no advantage." Tang Gang still had a big stone in his heart.
He approached many large companies and investment institutions, but he was rejected by them all. First, because Wangtang Technology has no branded products and is in debt, there is a high probability that the investment will result in losses.
Second, some companies simply do not want to invest in R&D, and powerful companies already have their own R&D teams and do not need them.
This Hongxin company is a rising Internet company with strong strength. Now it is almost Tang Gang's last hope. If it still doesn't work this time, he can only declare the company bankrupt. Ten years of hard work will be wiped out in one day.
"I heard that the boss of Hongxin is a young man in his early twenties. I don't know what he really thinks." Tang Gang sighed in his heart. He had also been brilliant a few years ago. But the ups and downs in life were too fast. Instead of going higher, he fell to the bottom.
At this time, Tang Gang's cell phone rang. It was the business number of Hongxin Company.
"Hello, hello!" Tang Gang immediately answered the phone, and Su Zhirong's pleasant voice came: "Hello, Mr. Tang, I am Hongxin's negotiating representative. Mr. Lu, our Mr. Lu, would like to make an appointment with you to discuss at the company tomorrow. May I ask? Do you have time?"
"I have time! I have time! What time will it be tomorrow?" Tang Gang was a little excited. He could finally meet the boss of Hongxin. This meant that Mr. Lu was very interested in them.
"Tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon, Hongxin Company Building, okay?"
"Yes, I will definitely arrive on time!" Tang Gang affirmed.
