Chapter 187 Picking up leaks
It is said that it is an investment of one billion, but it is impossible to be true. All of it will be spent on research and development. In the early stage, it mainly invested in factories, R&D centers, various lighter parts and supporting facilities, etc.
But this does not prevent Li Dongling from saying this to express his determination to develop constant flow valve lighter technology.
In this technology, Li Dongling really spares no expense. No matter how much research and development funds he invests, he is willing to develop it. This is the only opportunity for domestic lighters to lead foreign lighters in technology!
With this technology, basically foreign lighter brands can only rely on feelings and so-called historical background to talk to Bige. Technically, there is no longer any way to suppress the Torch Group.
Hearing Li Dongling's words, Zhang Xiaocheng and Zhou Wenyan knew clearly that Li Dongling was determined to develop this technology at all costs.
"Lao Zhou, don't worry about research and development. No matter how much we invest, we will fight hard!"
At this time, Zhang Xiaocheng's fierceness also came up. Li Dongling dared to bet that he had nothing to do with it! Dare to bet.
From Shangguan Town Component Factory to the current Torch Group, Zhang Xiaocheng has struggled all the way. He had nothing before and dared to gamble when he was in debt. It makes no sense to have funds and a R&D team now. , but I don’t dare anymore!
What’s more important is that Zhang Xiaocheng believes in Li Dongling. The Shangguan Town Component Factory was heavily in debt and stopped production before. However, it relied on Li Dongling to come back to life. Now it’s Torch Group’s turn. Zhang Xiaocheng believes in Li Dongling even more than he believes in him. Own!
Li Dongling and Zhang Xiaocheng both expressed their opinions. Zhou Wenyan had nothing to worry about. He gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely develop the constant flow valve lighter technology!"
"Don't worry about the funds, as long as the production base is built before , if we can develop this technology, it will be worth it no matter how much we invest!" Li Dongling said to Zhou Wenyan.
After coming out of the laboratory, Li Dongling could see a large construction site outside. After it is completed, tens of thousands of employees will flood here, working and resting here every day. Billions of lighters will be used every year. It appears here in every corner of the world. On that day, Li Dongling doesn’t know what the scene will become here!
Zhang Xiaocheng, standing next to Li Dongling, also looked at the scene in front of him, watching a town become a district because of a company, and the entire district's industry revolved around a company, that kind of The feeling is really difficult to describe in words.
It is conceivable that in the future, the Shangguan Economic Development Zone will basically revolve around the Torch Group. Every lighter parts manufacturer will move into the Torch Lighter Industrial Park, and the residents in Shangguan District will also move into the Torch Lighter Industrial Park. Make a living around the Torch Group.
"As long as the research and development results can be achieved, all the efforts will be fully rewarded!"
Li Dongling turned to look at Zhang Xiaocheng, considered it and said to him, because of it, he will prosper because of it, and he will decline because of it. The Shangguan Economic Development Zone has been tied to the Torch Group. As the Torch Group prospers, the Shangguan Economic Development Zone will also flourish. If one day the Torch Group stumbles, the Shangguan Economic Development Zone will definitely fall into a quagmire. There is no way around it.
Li Dongling also had to consider the situation of Torch Group in the future, “If Torch Group’s technology can be successfully developed and the lighter industry can develop, Torch Group can also enter other industries, such as electronic cigarettes, gas stoves, and sanitary ware. Waiting for industry! ”
The lighter industry may require tens of thousands of employees in the early stage, but in the later stage, with large-scale automated production and cost reduction, fewer and fewer employees will be needed. Where will you go after working at Torch Group for more than ten or twenty years? !
We can’t really imitate some companies and let those middle-aged employees, in the euphemistic name, let them graduate, but in fact let them fend for themselves. What can middle-aged people do? !
It is definitely necessary to find a new way out for them. The Torch Group was established under the banner of Li Dongling, and Li Dongling cannot do anything to drive people away halfway. This requires Li Dongling to find new industries for the Torch Group. , which can allow Torch Group to transform and transfer personnel not needed in the lighter industry to other industries.
E-cigarettes are still in the desert era. Although they were invented in the 1920s, they have not entered the mainstream smokers' attention.
It was not until eight years later that a domestic pharmacist invented a new generation of e-cigarettes. The original intention of the invention of any product was not to harm users, and the same was true for e-cigarettes.
The original intention of the invention of e-cigarettes is to make people quit smoking. Yes, it is used to replace nicotine and make people quit smoking. This thing is typically exported to domestic sales. After a few years of its rise in China, due to various The reason is that it was banned by those who shouted to beat and kill.
But after it spread overseas, it set off a whirlwind that swept America and Europe, becoming an industry with an annual output value of 20 billion US dollars in America. Electronic cigarettes are very controversial in China, but in overseas markets, since its emergence, the industry has been soaring and growing at an alarming rate. From its birth to global output value, it exceeded 38 billion US dollars. It only took a few seconds. In more than ten years...
In the lighter industry, if Torch Group can survive, then relying on the e-cigarette industry, Torch Group has the opportunity to become a giant company.
Of course, in this industry, the Torch Group is definitely targeting overseas markets and will not develop it domestically. It needs to cooperate with local snakes in America and Europe, otherwise it will not be possible at all, but even if it gives away a part of the profits, It is also enough for Torch Group’s revenue and profits to usher in explosive growth.
With lighters, e-cigarettes, gas stoves, sanitary ware and other industries, Li Dongling does not dare to guess what kind of existence the Torch Group can become in the future, but...it will definitely be able to survive and provide a large number of jobs. No problem.
If you can still lose money and survive with these chickens that lay golden eggs, then Li Dongling should really consider whether there is something wrong with the feng shui of Torch Group, and Li Dongling needs to take action. The entire Torch Group management team was bloodbathed!
Listening to Li Dongling's words, Zhang Xiaocheng was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Li Dongling had already made plans for the Torch Group.
Although it is not clear what the electronic cigarette industry is, looking at Li Dongling's cautious look, he can also feel that this industry may not be that simple.
“E-cigarettes, gas stoves, bathroom and other products are all things that Torch Group needs to consider in the future. It will wait until the lighter industry stabilizes before starting to develop these products. In addition, the project must be kept confidential, otherwise it will be spread. Being beaten by other companies will make Torch Group very passive!" Li Dongling explained to Zhang Xiaocheng.
Zhang Xiaocheng nodded vigorously when he heard this. He was absolutely convinced by Li Dong's words. He would never forget what Li Dongling told him.
After staying with Torch Group for a while, Li Dongling left. Although Li Dongling’s vision for establishing Feiyan Technology and Torch Group were different, these two companies are now related. With countless employees and the families behind them, Li Dongling had to be a little more cautious!
"Immediately invite the consulting company from Nippon Benz to investigate everything about Nippon Bandai!"
After returning to Dongling High-Tech, Li Dongling immediately called for Ren Yuefeng and Huxian The two of them directly proposed to inquire about the situation at Bandai.
Ren Yuefeng and Hu Xian looked at each other, and the two immediately heard the overtones of Li Dongling. It was obvious that they were interested in Bandai Company.
"Mr. Li, are you going to attack Wandai?!" Ren Yuefeng asked Li Dongling in a deep voice.
I still remember how aggressive Nippon Bandai was when he came to Dongling Hi-tech last year. Who would have thought that just how long ago, the offense and defense would change, and Li Dongling would actually start to inquire about Bandai's situation.
After laughing, Li Dongling said, "Why not?!"
"If Bandai is about to collapse, then it is an opportunity for Dongling Hi-Tech, why can't we take advantage of it?!"
