"Mr. Guo, there's a change in Huanyu Technologies."
"What's wrong?"
"They signed an OEM contract with Lenovo."
"What?"
After Huanyu Technologies took over Guanlan Park, Foxconn had been paying attention to Huanyu Technologies' movements.
According to Taiming Guo's prediction, Huanyu Technologies wouldn't make any big moves within a year after taking over Guanlan Park.
He didn't expect them to sign an OEM contract with Lenovo in such a short time.
"How many orders did Lenovo give to Huanyu Technologies?"
"30%."
"Wow …"
Taiming Guo was shocked.
30% wasn't a lot, but it also depended on Lenovo's size.
Lenovo was the largest computer brand in China and had the support of the higher-ups. Their shipments had always been terrifying.
Not to mention, they had also acquired IBM's personal PC business.
Some media predicted that in the future, Lenovo would become the largest PC brand in the world.
30% of the orders could add at least 30,000 employees to Huanyu Technologies.
In addition to the 50,000 employees of Huanyu Technologies, Guanlan Park would have at least 80,000 employees.
Less than a month after taking over Guanlan Park, they had at least 80,000 employees. If they were given a few more years of development, 200,000 employees wouldn't be a problem.
"Why would Lenovo sign such a large order with Huanyu Technologies?"
Taiming Guo was shocked. "What do the higher-ups mean?"
Previously, Lenovo's OEM contracts were with Ren Bao, God Base, and Wetron … and they had established a deep partnership with them.
Under normal circumstances, Lenovo wouldn't change their OEM partners.
But now, they were giving 30% of the business to Huanyu Technologies. There must be something unusual going on.
"Probably not."
The assistant shook his head and said, "I heard that Lenovo got Huanyu Technologies' online game agency contract. In exchange, they gave 30% of Lenovo's OEM orders to Huanyu Technologies."
"Even Qinghua signed an order with Huanyu Technologies like this."
"Online game agent?"
Guo Taiming was taken aback. Then, he frowned.
Although he wasn't involved in the internet industry, he had done some research on Huanyu Technologies' online gaming business when he was investigating them.
Even Foxconn was interested in Huanyu Technologies' online gaming business, let alone Lenovo.
One had to know.
What was the most profitable business at the moment? Naturally, it was the Internet business.
The most profitable part of the internet business was the online gaming business.
Who wouldn't be jealous of a series of people who were involved in online games and had easily become the richest person in the country?
In the field of physical manufacturing, this was simply a myth.
However, Guo Taiming was still Guo Taiming.
He had been in the OEM industry for decades, so this challenge from Huanyu Technologies was nothing.
Even if Huanyu Technologies won Lenovo's contract, Taiming Guo still had ways to deal with Huanyu Technologies.
"Pass down the order. Increase the base salary of all employees by 200 yuan."
Currently, Foxconn's salary was the base salary plus commission.
Foxconn's salary was still higher than the average OEM company.
Their base salary was 1000 yuan plus commission.
In a month's time, he could earn about 1500 to 1800 yuan.
Now, the base salary was 1000 yuan plus 200 yuan. That was 1200 yuan per month.
One had to know that in 2005, there were many jobs that only cost 1,200 yuan a month.
Of course, Foxconn's high salary was also based on overtime.
To get such a high salary, they basically had to work overtime.
However, with such a high salary, many people wanted to join Foxconn.
With a base salary of 1200 yuan, as long as they worked hard, it was normal for their salary to exceed 2000 yuan per month.
Don't underestimate 2000 yuan per month.
Even in 2020, there were a series of jobs that paid 2000 yuan per month.
2000 yuan was definitely considered a high salary in 2005.
This kind of salary was definitely a fatal temptation to ordinary people who were not very educated and did not have many skills.
Of course, Guo Taiming didn't really want to give them a raise by doing this.
Guo Taiming wanted to make it impossible for Huanyu Technologies to recruit people.
Manufacturing was a labor-intensive industry. What was the most important thing in the manufacturing industry? The answer was people.
If there were no people, no matter how many orders you had, it would be useless.
Guo Taiming believed in this move.
Not only could he make it impossible for Huanyu Technologies to recruit people in a short period of time.
Some of the people who were previously recruited might go to Foxconn.
This wasn't strange.
Ordinary employees didn't have much loyalty to the company.
They would go to whichever company gave them a higher salary.
If Foxconn gave them a high salary, why would they go to Huanyu Technologies?
Could it be that an ordinary employee in Huanyu Technologies could be promoted to the position of CEO?
It had to be said that Huanyu Technology had originally planned to recruit people with great fanfare because of Lenovo's order. However, because of Foxconn's salary increase, their recruitment plans were disrupted all of a sudden.
"Guo Taiming's move is vicious."
Chen Yu was sitting in his office. He also received the news of Foxconn's salary increase immediately.
A raise in the manufacturing industry was not like a raise in the internet industry.
The Internet could be increased at will, not to mention 200,2000 yuan.
Because the profits generated by the Internet were huge.
Even if the Internet made tens of billions of yuan a year, it didn't need many people.
But manufacturing was different.
Manufacturing had low profits. Not to mention a 200 yuan increase, even an ordinary company couldn't handle a 100 yuan increase.
More importantly, manufacturing was a labor-intensive industry. He needed too many employees.
One thousand or two thousand employees was still okay. But ten thousand, twenty thousand, or even eighty thousand, who could handle it?
At this time, Huanyu Technologies originally had about fifty thousand people. Because of Lenovo's order, they had to recruit thirty thousand more people.
In total, they needed eighty thousand people.
Eighty thousand people. Not including other expenses, if calculated according to Foxconn's 2000 yuan a month, the salary alone would be about 160 million yuan a month.
If accommodation, utilities, and food expenses were included, it would be at least 200 million yuan a month.
This wasn't much.
Although Guanlan Park had finished building the factory and all kinds of transportation, the hardware and equipment inside had to be done by Huanyu Technologies.
This was another huge investment.
Don't underestimate a 200 yuan salary increase. If Huanyu Technology continued to improve, it was possible that Huanyu Technology would be dragged to death.
"Boss Chen, are we increasing or not?"
Zhang Jianming asked worriedly.
He also understood the stakes.
If they didn't increase, they wouldn't be able to recruit people.
If they increased, it would be a huge pressure for Huanyu Technologies.
"Yes, why not?"
Chen Yu didn't hesitate and said directly, "If they increase by 200 yuan, we'll increase by 250 yuan."
Manufacturing needed people. Without people, how could they do OEM?
If Chen Yu backed down from Foxconn's move, Huanyu Technologies wouldn't be able to recruit people in the future.
Moreover, Foxconn's Longhua Park and Guanlan Park were both in Shencheng. The two were too close. Chen Yu had to increase.
As for the pressure.
There was.
Without waiting for Zhang Jianming to speak, Chen Yu said, "Brother Jian, we naturally won't be able to make much profit just by being an OEM. However, don't forget that we still have a heavyweight product that will be launched soon."
"Boss Chen, are you talking about Huanyu's Demon God series notebook?"
"Yes."
Chen Yu nodded.
