The information of this technology company was placed in front of Lu Zixin. Su Zhirong introduced, "Wangtang Electronics Technology Company was established in 2006. It has been more than ten years since then. The founder, Tang Gang, studied electronic technology in Japan and worked in Japan for several years. Ten years ago, he returned from Japan to start a business and established Wangtang Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. "
"In the early days, Wangtang Technology engaged in the mobile phone OEM business. The specific model was to first obtain orders from downstream smartphone brand operators, then purchase the corresponding components from upstream suppliers, and then entrust a third-party mobile phone OEM to assemble and process …"
"Later, they began to conduct independent research and development and production."
"From 2011 to 2013, the domestic smartphone boom period. Wangtang Technology also rose with the tide, and its annual income reached more than a billion yuan! "
"But from 2015 onwards, domestic mobile phone price competition intensified, and the low-end smartphone market profits were compressed. Wangtang Technology began to decline. Last year, Wangtang's main partner went bankrupt, and a large number of orders were put on hold. At the same time, the capital chain was broken. "
"Now, Wangtang Technology's assets have been frozen because of too many debts and lawsuits. It has stopped business activities and is about to declare bankruptcy."
Lu Zixin read ten lines at a glance and quickly went through the information. He said to Su Zhirong, "I saw in this information that Wangtang Technology has its own mobile phone hardware research and development team? How is it now? "
"The company is about to go bankrupt, so the team is naturally on temporary leave and went home. It's almost the same as disbanding." Su Zhirong replied.
"The CEO of Wangtang Technology, Tang Gang, is about to be driven crazy by debt collectors and demands for payment. He is looking for people everywhere for help. But no one is willing to accept this mess. When he heard that Hongxin wants to be involved in related fields, he immediately ran over and wanted us to invest in them. "
Lu Zixin began to think. Wangtang Technology had a perfect hardware industry chain and a research and development team, which was exactly what he lacked. However, he couldn't be a sucker. He still needed to understand the specific situation before making a decision.
"You should talk to him first and get to the bottom of this matter." Lu Zixin listed out a few things.
"Me?" Su Zhirong was a little surprised. Her current job had always been Lu Zixin's assistant.
Now, she was actually asked to negotiate with the CEO of a company. Although the other party was a "has-been" CEO, this kind of business activity was important enough.
"You, of course." Lu Zixin affirmed, "Liu Tong and the others are very busy now. In the future, many things will depend on you. Also, for those unimportant things, you can just find an assistant to do it. "
Hearing Lu Zixin's words, Su Zhirong was inexplicably moved. Lu Zixin meant that in the future, she would also participate in the management of the company, not just be his assistant.
"I'll do my best." Su Zhirong nodded seriously.
For the next few days, Su Zhirong gathered information while negotiating with Tang Gang. Lu Zixin learned more about Wang Tang Technology. He was surprised to find that this Wang Tang Technology was really not simple. Not only did they independently develop some mobile phone hardware, but they also tried to make a mid-range smartphone called "Wang Tang."
However, this phone was not successful. The sales were dismal, so the project was quickly terminated.
Simply put, Wang Tang Technology Co., Ltd. was a company that had a brief moment of glory in the fierce market competition, but was still defeated by others!
These were not important to Lu Zixin. He was interested in the technical staff, R&D team, and industrial chain that Wang Tang Technology had accumulated over the past ten years.
It was difficult to build a hardware R&D and a complete industrial chain from scratch. If there was a ready-made improvement, it would be much more convenient.
"Tomorrow, I'll negotiate with Tang Gang," Lu Zixin said.
"Okay, I'll arrange it." Su Zhirong nodded.
…
In a chain hotel in Jiangcheng, Tang Gang was frowning and pacing around the room.
Although he was only forty years old this year, his hair was already thinning and a bald spot was quietly forming. Tang Gang held a cigarette. Every time he brought it to his mouth, he put it down and sighed slightly.
"Lil Tang, don't walk around. My eyes are blurred." Next to him, there was an old man in his fifties who was sitting next to him at the moment.
"I'm … in a hurry! My neighbor called and said that the debt collectors have blocked my house. My wife and child have gone back to hide in her parents' house. The company owes the employees two months of wages. If we can't get investment, the company will go 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 negotiate with Hongxin. They didn't directly reject you, so there's still hope. "
Tang Gang put out his cigarette and said, "Elder Dai, you're right. I need to calm down."
Dai Liangcai nodded and said, "Don't worry. If there's anything you need me to do, I'll definitely help."
Dai Liangcai was the core technical talent of Wangtang Technology's R&D team. He was also an honorary professor of photovoltaic technology at a university in the South. This time, Wangtang was in a crisis. Tang Gang said that he needed his help, so Dai Liangcai came.
Tang Gang said, "As far as I know, Hongxin should want to get involved in the hardware field. They don't have their own hardware technology team, related equipment, or industry. I asked you to come this time because I want you to help prove the strength of Wangtang Technology so that Hongxin can invest with confidence. "
Dai Liangcai nodded and said, "Of course. Our team's R&D level is already top-notch in the country."
"What I'm most afraid of is that Hongxin is only interested temporarily and doesn't really want to get involved in this field. Or rather, they don't care about independent R&D and just want to make quick money to test the waters. If that's the case, Wangtang Technology won't have any advantage. "Tang Gang still felt like a big stone was pressing down on his heart.
He had approached many big companies and investment institutions, but he was turned away at the door. Firstly, it was because Wangtang Technology didn't have any branded products and was in debt. There was a high probability that they would lose money if they invested.
Secondly, some companies didn't want to invest funds in R&D at all. The capable companies already had their own R&D teams and didn't need them.
This Hongxin Company is a rising Internet company. It is very powerful. It was almost Tang Gang's last hope. If this still didn't work, he could only declare the company bankrupt. Ten years of hard work would be gone in a day.
"I heard that Hongxin's CEO is just a young man in his early twenties. I wonder what he's thinking. "Tang Gang sighed inwardly. He was also once brilliant a few years ago. But life was full of ups and downs. Not only did he not go higher, but he also fell to the bottom of the valley.
At this time, Tang Gang's mobile phone rang. It was a business call from Hongxin Company.
"Hello, hello!" Tang Gang immediately answered the phone. Su Zhirong's sweet voice came through: "Hello, Mr. Tang. I'm Hongxin's negotiation representative. General Lu wants to meet you in the company tomorrow for a discussion. Do you have time?"
"Yes! Yes! What time tomorrow? " Tang Gang was a little excited. He could finally meet Hongxin's CEO. This meant that General Lu was very interested in them.
"Tomorrow at 2 pm, Hongxin Company's building. Is that okay?"
"Yes, I'll be there on time!" Tang Gang said affirmatively.
