Chapter 264 Men also need to vent their emotions When we arrived at the Science and Technology Park, it was almost four o'clock. Luo Yang directly called Chu Jianming to his office. "Manager Chu, I'm going on a business trip next Monday. Please accompany me to Yang City in Su Province." When his secretary Lu Yi came in to make tea, Luo Yang directly explained his plan: "I plan to talk to the local government about investing in building a factory. Let's talk about the relevant investment plan today." "Boss Luo, you don't plan to put the production base in Magic City?" "The assembly center is still in the Magic City for the time being." "Then what about the investment we discussed in Yang City?" "I discussed this with you before. We need to walk on two legs." After secretary Lu Yi finished making tea and went out, there were only two men left in the office. Luo Yang casually handed a cigarette to Chu Jianming.
"At present, we don't have much technology of our own, just flight control software and integration, and airframe structure design. The rest needs to be purchased from outside." While lighting a cigarette, Luo Yang said with a smile: "Let's start with the manufacture of the aircraft structure and set up the factory in Yang City. In addition, I have already discussed with the school, and they will form a team to conduct research and development on the power system of the drone." "This is a good thing!" Chu Jianming was shocked when he heard this and began to analyze: "For the Magic City University of Engineering and Technology, the motors and propellers involved in the UAV power system are not difficult technologies. If they form a dedicated team, I believe they will be able to make a breakthrough in no time." "If you want it to be faster, it's not hard to reverse it." Luo Yang also smiled and said, "Take the existing mature products on the market and disassemble them, conduct reverse research, and soon you will be able to come up with a power system for Kunpeng." Chu Jianming: “.” This is a problem with his butt. He is now the production manager of Kunpeng, so of course he would not say that this is a bad thing. Not to mention how much foreign technology we reverse-engineered in the early years? This little bit of reverse is not worth mentioning. “Once we develop our own powertrain, we will also need a production base.” Luo Yang was very satisfied with Chu Jianming's attitude, so he snapped his fingers and said, "The manufacturing base for motors and propellers should also be located in Yang City. The land there is cheap and our limited funds must be used where they are needed most." After this discussion, Chu Jianming finally figured it out. The boss has limited funds, so he can only rent a factory and set up an assembly center in Shanghai. Except for core technologies such as the flight control system that we have mastered, all other systems and components are purchased from outside, and finally integrated in the assembly center to produce products that can be sold to the outside world. The part that we plan to develop ourselves will be placed in Yang City, Su Province. Since we can purchase and assemble products from outside, we have plenty of time to build a production base, laying the foundation for the company to plan a closed-loop industrial chain. Luo Yang's arrangement is clear and logical. Chu Jianming had to admit that even though this was a helpless compromise, it was the best solution at the moment. Moreover, the production base of batteries and energy modules is also in Yang City.
What we just talked about are all related to Kunpeng’s future layout, but in addition to the general direction, a company also has details at the execution level. "Boss Luo, I have done some research on the company in the past two days." When talking about the matters under his jurisdiction, Chu Jianming became more serious: "According to the existing technical strength and manpower, the monthly assembly production capacity of the Science and Technology Park does not exceed 5 aircraft. If we want to keep up with the market expansion in the future, I suggest that the new assembly production center should have a monthly production capacity of at least 100 aircraft." “Have you ever made a budget for how much it would cost to build an assembly center with a monthly production capacity of 100 aircraft?” Luo Yang is not concerned about the monthly production capacity for the time being, he only cares about how much money will be spent. "If you rent a factory in Zhangjiang, Pudong, plus the reserve funds for purchases, 350 million to 500 million yuan would be enough." "Don't put it in Pudong Zhangjiang, it's too far away." Luo Yang frowned and said, "What if it's in the park in Minhang?" "The rent here may be a little more expensive, but the difference is not that big. In the short term, this amount of money is enough." Chu Jianming thought for a moment and said, "This short period of time refers to within a year. From the perspective of reducing production costs, I still suggest moving it to Zhangjiang, Pudong. If you really want to save money, you can also move it to Gusu, Jiangsu Province. The park there offers quite a lot of incentives for introducing high-tech industries." This was a pertinent suggestion, but unfortunately he didn't know that Luo Yang planned to move the assembly center to Yang City in the future. "Let's consider Minhang first. It's close and good for management." Luo Yang gave a barely acceptable reason. In fact, he thought that he would not be short of money in half a year, so he still requested to place the assembly center in Minhang first. Eyelids drooping? Since the boss has made this decision, Chu Jianming naturally won't insist on going to Zhangjiang. The two of them communicated at a very fast pace. After talking about one thing, they immediately started talking about the next one. "Boss Luo, how big a base do you plan to build when you go to Yang City this time?" He will go there to communicate with the local authorities on Monday. As long as the topic of investment is concerned, Chu Jianming believes that the issue of scale cannot be avoided. In simple terms, it means discussing how much land is needed, how much investment is needed, and how much production capacity will be in the future. Faced with this question, Luo Yang smacked his lips. It would definitely not work if he took too much land because he doesn't have that much money right now. Even with Jiang Fan's 2000 million in support, it was still tight. The budget overrun problem of the ready-mixed cement mortar plant taught him a lesson: some things cannot be estimated by just estimation, but must be judged by professionals. This is why he came here to communicate with Chu Jianming today. Of course, taking less land simply to save money is not an option. Because this R&D and production base is not only prepared for the present, but also needs to take into account future development. When market sales expand in the future, it will be interesting to be restricted by production capacity. So after much discussion, Chu Jianming insisted that the land use should not be less than 60 mu, and this was only the first phase. Moreover, when discussing project investment, local governments are required to help Kunpeng Technology reserve planning space for the second phase next to the first phase. The first phase of construction is 60 acres. The Minhang Assembly Center was calculated based on an investment of 500 million. After that deduction, Luo Yang only had 550 million in his hands. Even if the 2000 million from Jiang Fan was added, the total working capital was only 2550 million.
The 60 acres of industrial land in Yang City would cost about 1800 million yuan. Even if we save more on factory infrastructure, it will still cost about 800 million. This is the most basic investment considering that there is only research and development in the beginning and no production for the time being. As for the initial R&D investment, at least RMB 500 million will be required over a period of half a year. All in all, it would cost about 3100 million. So the money Luo Yang had was still not enough, and he needed to use the land as collateral for a mortgage. What’s even worse is that it was originally just a research and development base, and in the short period of time there was only input but no output. Luo Yang was overwhelmed by the fact that the funds were fully utilized. He wished that the investment in Yang City could be delayed for half a year, so that he wouldn't need to borrow money from Jiang Fan. But the problem was that time waits for no one, and if he slowed down a step, he would slow down every step. When DJI’s multi-rotor drone comes out, if Kunpeng Technology cannot control production costs, how can the product be competitive? Rely on technology? Luo Yang has no confidence. Relying on beautiful appearance design? Luo Yang didn’t know whether the market would recognize it. Only when Kunpeng Technology's drone technology is good, the appearance is beautiful, and the price is cheap, will users consider the cost-effectiveness. So I have to go ahead even if I have to bite the bullet! Because of being "meticulous", they needed to consider things more comprehensively. For this reason, Luo Yang and Chu Jian discussed it repeatedly. When he was hungry, he asked his secretary Lu Yi to order takeout, and the two of them had a bite in the office. The preliminary discussion was not concluded until after seven in the evening. "Manager Chu, please review it again in the next two days to see if there are any areas that can be improved." Before leaving the company, Luo Yang instructed: "Send the final draft of the plan to my email before Sunday noon." "Mr. Luo, OK." Chu Jianming answered while looking at the plan that had just been discussed. The more detailed the argument just now was, the more it proved that this investment was reliable. In this case, he couldn't help but take it seriously. After returning to the rental house in Songjiang University Town, Luo Yang ignored the charming little goblin lying on the chaise longue and immediately got down to work. He wanted to try to learn from Yang Jinhong and write a feasibility report for an industrial project. It took more than an hour, but unfortunately I could only build a framework. There was no other way, because the entire report involved a considerable amount of professional knowledge and financial data, and Luo Yang was at a loss. The living room of the rental house was very quiet. Luo Yang had a stern face from the moment he entered the room. Jiang Wen didn't dare to disturb him except to help him make a cup of tea. Even though the mask on her face began to dry, she sat on the sofa without moving.
"Ugh" Luo Yang sighed, turned off his laptop and closed it. At this moment, he became more and more aware of the limits of his abilities. Professional matters should be left to professionals. Even if he was reborn, he couldn't force himself to do it. "Snapped!" After thinking this through, Luo Yang lit a cigarette. Only then did he notice Jiang Wen and discovered that she had been sitting on the sofa. "Did my expression just now scare you?" "No!" Once the conversation started, Jiang Wen was no longer afraid: "Just now I saw you thinking seriously about something, I was afraid of interrupting your train of thought, so I didn't dare to make any noise." "Kunpeng Technology is about to invest tens of millions of yuan, so I have been quite anxious in the past few days." Luo Yang was still willing to explain to Jiang Wen: "It will be fine after these few days. By the way, how is the design of the house decoration going?" "The house hasn't been delivered yet, so the design company can't measure the exact dimensions and can only make a few renderings." As he spoke, he went barefoot to get the drawings. "Your mask is dry, take it off quickly." "Uh-huh." Normally, removing the mask and moisturizing the skin would take at least ten minutes, but Jiang Wen was too busy to do that and finished it in just a few minutes. She didn't let Luo Yang wait too long and came out with a stack of drawings. After some discussion on the decoration effect of the house, the atmosphere in the house was restored. "Luo Yang, you're so scary when you're serious." Jiang Wen curled up on Luo Yang's lap, hugged his neck and whispered, "Are all the company's big bosses so majestic?" "Are the clerks in the milk tea shop afraid of you?" "what" Jiang Wen exclaimed: "It seems to be the case. The new employees are a little reserved when they see me." When the first batch of fifty stores expanded, the university town also took on the task of training new employees, so several batches of new store clerks were rotated. It is much easier to explain with examples. "I will be very busy in the next period of time. Before the holiday, I will travel between my hometown and Shanghai." Luo Yang changed the subject: "If you feel lonely recently, just go back to the dormitory. I will be back very late anyway." "I'll stay in the dormitory on weekends and live here on weekdays."
Jiang Wen said with a smile: "Now I am used to rolling on the big bed. The bed in the dormitory is too small and I am a little uncomfortable." Just give her some sunshine and she will shine. Not really. As soon as she finished saying this, she pulled Luo Yang's hand and covered her cheek. "Luo Yang, do you feel your skin is dry?" "Because the mask just dried?" Luo Yang smiled and teased: "Or did you not moisturize your face just now?" "Nah" The little fairy said coquettishly: "If you don't water it regularly, the flowers will wither!" Gee. Are you watering it properly? When she looked up at him with those charming eyes, Luo Yang knew immediately that she needed rain on the banana leaves. Then give her a storm. It's just right to adjust my inner depression. Men also need to vent occasionally. Xiao Luo has no money again (End of this chapter)
