I can become stronger by paying salaries. I have one billion employees!

Chapter 127: Zhongsha Industrial Park, the starting point of Orange (asking for monthly tickets)
Wang Zihao drove a Mercedes-Benz and circled the Sago Technology Park twice, with Zuo Hongyu leading the way.

After visiting three factories in a row, Chen Yansen was not satisfied with any of them.

First, the area is small, with the smallest being 800 square meters and the largest just over 2000 square meters; second, the factory is filled with dilapidated production lines, and if you want to rent one, you have to buy these useless equipment, and you want to take advantage of them.

Chen Yansen sighed and asked everyone to get in the car.

"Mr. Chen, Sage Technology Park is next to Huaqiangbei. It used to be full of knockoff phone factories. At its peak, there were over 1000 of them, so the factory space is a bit fragmented. My idea is to rent a few more and connect them."

Zuo Hongyu stood outside the car, slowly explained, and gave a solution.

There is no way. The larger factories in the park have already been owned by others, and they produce regular smartphones, which are not within the scope of the double-strike operation.

The companies Zuo Hongyu contacted were all old factories left behind by their bosses who ran away after the doubles match.

Last year, the daily rent for a factory was 1.5 yuan per square meter. Now it has dropped to 1.1 yuan, and some have even fallen below 1 yuan. However, few bosses are willing to discuss cooperation.

When the factory owner saw that several people were about to leave, he hurriedly lowered the price, discounted the rent, and sold the equipment at a lower price as well.

But Chen Yansen thought the area was too small and left without looking back.

"Let's look somewhere else. Although the location of Saige Technology Park is good, the factory buildings are too scattered. I said before that the building area must be at least 10000 square meters."

Chen Yansen waved his hand, interrupting Zuo Hongyu who was about to continue explaining.

He understood Zuo Hongyu's intention. It was nothing more than finding a dozen small factories to sign contracts together. However, the owners of these factories were different, and it was difficult to coordinate the rental price, lease term and payment cycle.

"Mr. Chen, then we can only go to Zhongsha Village. The rent is at least 50% cheaper than Saige's, but the location and transportation are worse."

Zuo Hongyu nodded and proposed an alternative plan.

"How far is it from here?" Chen Yansen asked.

"About 9 kilometers, 15 minutes drive." Zuo Hongyu replied immediately.

"Go and see."

Chen Yansen gave instructions to Zuo Hongyu without hesitation.

At this moment, Chen Yansen began to agree with Cao Dahua's evaluation of Zuo Hongyu: he is honest, speaks little, is reliable and organized.

When Chen Yansen was dissatisfied with the factory building in Saige Science and Technology Park, Zuo Hongyu was able to come up with a new plan immediately, obviously having been prepared.

In the morning, in order to persuade his old friend not to commit suicide, Zuo Hongyu risked offending his new boss, was half an hour late, and brought Zhou Jinling over without permission.

Although he looks like a villain, in this age of money, he is still willing to talk about friendship with others. He may not be able to be a boss, but he is a good employee.

Afterwards, the two cars sped along Binhai Avenue, passed the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center and Tianan Cyber ​​City, and finally arrived at the Zhongsha Village Industrial Park.

It was just as Zuo Hongyu said, the surroundings were deserted and only one truck passed by in half an hour.

Locals wearing shorts and flip-flops, holding fishing rods, rode past quickly on electric scooters.

Chen Yansen got out of the car and looked around, observing the traffic and supporting facilities. It was different from Saigo, but it had a quiet environment.

Not far away, a large number of factories were connected together, not as scattered as Sai Ge’s, but like cubicles.

Zuo Hongyu took out his cell phone and made a call.

Soon, a man in his forties, wearing a stand-up collar polo shirt, came over on an electric scooter.

"Boss Zuo, are you guys at Big Pineapple going to expand production capacity again?"

The man stopped the car, looked puzzled, and couldn't help asking.

"Boss Huang, I resigned from Big Pineapple last week. Let me introduce you to my new boss, Chen Yansen."

Zuo Hongyu pulled Huang Qiming to Chen Yansen and said with a smile.

"Wow! Boss Chen is so handsome! Let's go check out the factory first."

Huang Qiming looked at Chen Yansen, praised him, then pointed to the factory area in front and spoke straight to the point.

"Boss Huang, nice to meet you."

Chen Yansen responded and followed Huang Qiming towards the industrial park.

Cao Dahua, Wang Zihao and Song Yuncheng followed behind, looking around at the surrounding environment.

"This area is A3, covering 3400 square meters. It's basically a three-story factory building. There's also a six-story dormitory building, with a total construction area of ​​11000 square meters. It's used to produce counterfeit mobile phones. With the right equipment, we can produce 5 million units a year!"

Huang Qiming pointed at his own factory and boasted seriously.

"Boss Huang, selling counterfeit mobile phones in Shenzhen is a dead end now," Zuo Hongyu said unhappily.

"Haha, then let's get a branded machine." Huang Qiming laughed dryly, looking embarrassed, and responded with a laugh.

He was also helpless. As a result of the double action above, 80% of the mobile phone factories in Huaqiangbei went bankrupt.

The factory buildings in Sago Technology Park cannot be rented out, let alone the remotely located Zhongsha Industrial Park.

Such a large factory costs 6000-8000 yuan a day to rent, and every day it is empty means a day’s loss.

Huang Qiming was really anxious, so he spoke nonsense.

To facilitate the deal, he took everyone on a long tour of A3, explaining the plant's conditions, including the power distribution room, air compressor room, and refrigeration station. Chen Yansen remained silent, leaving the matter entirely to Zuo Hongyu and Cao Dahua.

I have to say that Huang Qiming's factory is in very good condition, with complete supporting facilities, including employee dormitories, parking lots, and garbage stations. The layout is also reasonable. It is obvious that a professional designer was hired during its construction.

Zuo Hongyu glanced at Chen Yansen and saw the boss nodded slightly. He understood what was going on and started talking to Huang Qiming about issues such as price, lease term and payment period.

"0.65 yuan per square meter per day, paid every three months, minimum lease two years, contract signed every two years."

Seeing that Zuo Hongyu was interested in leasing, Huang Qiming quickly made an offer.

"Boss Huang, you might be able to fool an outsider, but we've been in Shenzhen for over ten years and are very familiar with the prices. If you think Chen Yansen is an outsider and wants to take advantage of us, then we can only look for another place."

After hearing this, Zuo Hongyu shook his head, his face darkened, and asked unhappily.

"The rent is paid annually. We can sign an 8-year contract, but Mr. Huang, please lower the price. How about 0.5 yuan?"

Cao Dahua asked with a smile, his belly bulging.

Seeing that they were bargaining, Chen Yansen had no interest in getting involved. He left Wang Zihao to study and took Song Yuncheng to wander around the park.

"You sold 5% of FoxTao's shares just to make mobile phones?"

Song Yuncheng asked softly.

"There is a reason for this." Chen Yansen answered casually as he looked at the setting sun.

"It's rumored online that you're going to pack up the foxes and sell them." Song Yuncheng hesitated for a moment and asked again.

"Shouldn't you be happy then?"

Chen Yansen turned around and joked with a smile.

Song Yuncheng, Zhang Wenbo, Xiang Pengfei and others each hold options for 10 shares. Based on the valuation of 160 billion yuan, these options are worth more than 300 million yuan.

At this time, the housing prices in Yan, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are mostly 1 to 2 yuan per square meter, and in the more remote suburbs, they are only more than 8000 yuan per square meter. If Chen Yansen really sold the company, they would become rich immediately.

"Everyone wants Fox Tao to become stronger and bigger."

Song Yuncheng shook his head and said seriously that this idea also represented the voice of some people in FoxTao.

Although Chen Yansen still holds nearly 70% of the shares after selling 5% of the shares, most startup company bosses will not sell their shares during the project's growth phase.

Chen Yansen's actions undoubtedly revealed to the outside world that he wanted to cash in as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, I don't plan to sell Fox Tao."

Chen Yansen smiled and added in his heart: At least I won’t sell it now.

FoxTao's performance is not stable enough, and the 160 billion valuation given by Augusta Capital is frankly inflated. It is difficult to find a buyer in China to take over.

If Ali can go public next year, Ma Liyun might be interested, but now, Ali's operation of transferring the ownership of Zhifubao has been discovered by Yahoo.

The two companies are arguing fiercely online. If Jack Ma wants to resolve this matter and buy back Yahoo shares, he will have to prepare at least 50 billion US dollars.

There is simply no spare energy to take over!
So, when Chen Yansen said he didn’t want to sell it, it was simply because he hadn’t met a suitable buyer.

Song Yuncheng felt more at ease after hearing what Chen Yansen said, but he still reminded him quietly: "A lot of people in the project team are talking about it. I think you should hold a staff meeting to explain it."

"Okay, I'll ask Xu Dan to make the arrangements later."

Chen Yansen raised his hand and rubbed Song Yuncheng's head.

"Brother Sen..." After negotiating the price, Wang Zihao walked over and was about to call Chen Yansen, but saw him touching Song Yuncheng's head, so he immediately shut up.

Chen Yansen heard the noise behind him, patted Song Yuncheng on the shoulder, and walked back as if nothing had happened.

Wang Zihao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he remained silent.

When I returned to the office, Zuo Hongyu and Cao Dahua were waiting.

Chen Yansen picked up the draft contract. The lease term started at 5 years, the rent would be negotiated every 3 years, and settled every 6 months, at 0.5 yuan per square meter per day.

It is 20% less than Huang Qiming’s quotation and half the price of the rent in Bisigo Science and Technology Park.

Chen Yansen made a rough calculation and found that the annual rent was nearly 200 million.

Looking at Huang Qiming's dress, he doesn't look like a big boss with a net worth of tens of millions.

Chen Yansen nodded and handed the follow-up matters to Zuo Hongyu.

Cao Dahua decided to stay in Shenzhen to help contact equipment suppliers and set up production lines. Functional testers, injection molding machines and CNC machine tools can be found in Huaqiangbei.

But as for SMT placement equipment, they felt it was a waste to buy brand new ones. Coincidentally, there was an electronic equipment auction in Shenzhen this month, and they had the opportunity to buy a batch at a low price.

Chen Yansen naturally would not let Cao Dahua help for nothing, so he gave him an extra salary.

In Chen Yansen's eyes, although Cao Dahua failed in business, he was still able to run errands and purchase equipment.

Of course, according to Cao Dahua himself, he is guiding college students in starting their own businesses, and his main job is still a university teacher, so there is nothing wrong with getting two salaries.

Four people came, three people left.
