Chen Yu was not surprised.
Lenovo agreed to Yang Yuanqing's proposal to create a high-end brand that belonged to Lenovo.
For this reason, they also named this high-end notebook brand Sky.
The significance was far-reaching.
Of course, Chen Yu, as the initiator, naturally got the contract for the "Sky" series.
As for why Lenovo didn't do the processing themselves.
In fact, Lenovo had its own OEM factory a few years ago, but they realized that their efficiency was not as good as other OEM manufacturers. Instead, they might as well give the OEM business to others. They only needed to be responsible for the design and brand promotion.
Of course, this wasn't because Lenovo was short-sighted.
There were a lot of companies like this in the world.
This included many computer manufacturers. They were doing the same.
There were also chip design companies like Qualcomm.
However, Chen Yu didn't care about Lenovo.
It didn't matter what other people thought. What was important was that Chen Yu was always on guard against other people strangling him.
It was precisely because of Chen Yu's considerations that, after successfully launching the "Demon God" series of games and obtaining the contract manufacturing business from several major computer manufacturers, Guanlan Park's recruitment plan had increased by 10,000 more people than before.
In addition to the previous recruitment, Guanlan Park had reached 90,000 people.
It hadn't even been five years. In just a few months, Huanyu Technology had completed almost half of the missions in Shenzhen City.
This terrifying speed also shocked Guo Taiming for a moment.
Taiming originally wanted to drag Huanyu Technologies to death by increasing the salary of his employees.
But now, it seemed that not only did Huanyu Technologies not drag them to death, but they also screwed over Foxconn.
Take a look at Huanyu Technologies' recent contracts.
For those high-end laptops that often cost more than 10,000 yuan, this little increase in salary was nothing.
But take a look at Foxconn. Even though they had a large business, they only produced low-end products.
The price of low-end products naturally wasn't that high.
Since the price wasn't that high, the profit margin of the product was difficult to guarantee.
Without profit margin, the price of the OEM would naturally decrease.
On one hand, it was the increase in salary. On the other hand, the OEM price didn't increase.
This move didn't hurt Huanyu Technologies at all.
However, Guo Taiming was Guo Taiming. He immediately called Chen Yu.
"Boss Chen, congratulations on your company's successful release of the Devil series notebook. Your Devil series notebook is very good."
Speaking of which, Guo Taiming sometimes had doubts.
Why did he only do OEM, why didn't he do end products?
For example, why didn't he make computers?
With Foxconn's capabilities, they could make Foxconn computers in minutes.
Moreover, Foxconn had mastered the OEM technology, and they had an advantage over other computer manufacturers in this area.
The benefits were obvious.
Just like Huanyu Technology, even if I can't get orders from outside, I can still make orders on my own.
However, although it was very tempting to do terminal consumer products, it wasn't easy to do so.
But he didn't want.
It wasn't easy to make end products.
Look at how many companies made end products, but they all went bankrupt.
The former computer king in the country.
The former TV king in the country.
The former air conditioner king in the country.
Where were they now?
On the other hand, there weren't many companies in the OEM business that went bankrupt.
Because all end products required them to be OEM.
The bigger your OEM business, the more advantage you had.
Although it seemed that OEM wasn't as good as OEM on the surface, when it came to actual strength, they were never afraid of anyone.
Huanyu Technologies could make such an awesome product now, but could he guarantee that they would be able to do it in the future?
If their Devil series notebook sales were blocked in the future, not only would it affect their end products, but it would also affect their OEM business.
With this series of reactions, Huanyu Technologies might go bankrupt.
"Thank you, Mr. Guo. Why don't you join us in the notebook business?"
Chen Yu wasn't surprised to receive Guo Taiming's call.
"We don't have the ability. This kind of high-end notebook business is for young people like you."
"You're too humble, Mr. Guo."
Chen Yu replied politely to Guo Taiming.
"By the way, Boss Chen, I want to ask you something. How many people are there in Guanlan Park now?"
"A few days ago, they reported to me the data. About 90,000 people."
The park was so big, and the higher-ups had the data. Guo Taiming knew that he was just asking on purpose.
Of course, Chen Yu knew that there was no need to hide it, so he said it directly.
"90,000 people. With so many people, I'm afraid Boss Chen won't need five years. You can recruit 200,000 people in three years."
"How can that be? 200,000 people means 200,000 mouths. Not to mention other things, just the number of mouths to feed is a terrifying number. We can only recruit 9 people now because we had 50,000 people before. Taking everything into account, we only recruited about 40,000 people recently. But even so, we can't hold on much longer. Not to mention, Mr. Guo, you're always making things difficult for me. "
"Boss Chen, it's a misunderstanding."
The eye sore that Chen Yu was talking about was naturally the matter of the salary increase.
Of course, this sentence also felt like a slap in the face.
But Guo Taiming didn't care. He said, "Actually, we also don't think this kind of salary increase is good. In fact, our salary has already exceeded the salary of other OEM companies by a large margin."
"What do you mean, Mr. Guo?"
"What I mean is, why don't we all reduce our salary back to the original level?"
"It's not easy to reduce it if it goes up."
Chen Yu immediately understood what Guo Taiming meant.
To be honest, the salary increase was a pressure for Huanyu Technologies.
For Foxconn, it was even more of a pressure.
Huanyu Technologies only had 90,000 people in Guanlan Park. This was already a huge expense.
Guo Taiming's Foxconn had 200,000 people, which was twice as many as Huanyu Technologies.
And this was only the business in Shenzhen.
If this salary increase also affected Foxconn in other regions, then Foxconn would be under even more pressure.
Seeing that the salary increase wasn't a problem for Huanyu Technologies, Guo Taiming wanted to take the initiative to shake hands with Chen Yu and make peace.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. We don't need to lower our salary. We just need to add a few more conditions."
"Mr. Guo, you're brilliant."
OEM companies didn't make much profit.
Most of the time, they only earned money from physical labor.
Therefore, OEM companies had very strict requirements for salary.
Chen Yu immediately knew what Guo Taiming meant by adding a few more conditions to the deal.
"Then it's a deal."
Seeing that Chen Yu agreed, Guo Taiming hung up the phone.
Then, he instructed his secretary.
The next day, Foxconn's salary was adjusted.
The original salary didn't change.
The original base salary of 1200 yuan was still 1200 yuan, but it had to be full attendance.
At the same time, overtime must be no less than 20 hours per week.
Although it wasn't impossible for anyone to meet this requirement, it could be achieved if you worked hard.
But basically, 90% of Foxconn's employees couldn't meet this requirement.
"Damn, Foxconn is so disgusting. Is this a salary increase? It's obviously a pie in the sky for us."
"Why don't they add 2000 yuan to the base salary? We can't get it anyway."
"If I wasn't short of money, I would've left."
Of course, the employees were just complaining.
Although Foxconn's requirements were disgusting, they could only endure it.
And compared to other small OEM companies, Foxconn was at least much better.
Plus, they also heard that the nearby Huanyu Electronic Guanlan Park would also adopt the same requirements.
Overall, capitalists weren't good people. They couldn't fight, so they could only accept this.
But …
Chen Yu didn't agree to Guo Taiming's request.
And even if he agreed, couldn't Chen Yu go back on his words?
After Foxconn announced the new rules, Chen Yu added another 50 yuan to the base salary.
And, taking this opportunity, Chen Yu also sent an open letter to all Huanyu Electronics employees.
The content of the open letter was a little long.
In addition to welcoming everyone to Huanyu Electronics, the most important thing was three sentences.
Foxconn is trash.
In the future, all your friends and relatives will be introduced to Huanyu Electronics.
We guarantee that all Huanyu Electronics employees will be paid 300 yuan more than Foxconn.
