The office area of ​​the factory is quiet. According to the personnel information just checked, there are only about a dozen administrative staff in the company.

Although the weather in South China City is still relatively hot now, walking in the corridor still gives people a chilly feeling.

Representatives from Wall Street institutions eagerly found the factory general manager's office, only to find that the general manager was listening to music, looking very relaxed and content. He didn't look like he was working at all.

They immediately asked to go to the production workshop for an on-site inspection. The general manager of the factory did not refuse and took them directly to a factory where production activities were taking place.

Entering the production workshop, what the agency representatives saw was a dozen long automated assembly lines, with hundreds of robotic arms grabbing motherboards and placing them on different conveyor belts.

However, the operation speed of these robotic arms is relatively slow. There seems to be no deliberate pursuit of output.

The general manager of the factory said with emotion: "I don't know since when, some factories began to automate, it seems just for the sake of speed. They are almost smoking, but they still feel that it is not fast enough. Speed ​​has become the only indicator."

"Producing at a rocket-like speed can only produce a bunch of products at competitive prices."

"But we are a high-tech company, not a manual workshop. High precision is our goal."

"The original intention of building automation equipment is not for speed. There are many high-tech products, such as computers and mobile phones, that can drive three screws per second. Infinite companies dare not use them. The faster the speed, the harder it is to control the accuracy.

The defective rate is high." After hearing this, some consortium representatives felt that it made sense.

If the defective rate of products is maintained at a very low level, then the production cost will naturally drop significantly, which can further reduce the sales price of the product.

In this case, it is indeed difficult to conclude that they are engaged in dumping behavior. At the end of each production line, they also saw a huge machine with several robotic arms gathered together, rotating rapidly, and accurately placing chips and electronic components.

Attach it to the prepared integrated circuit board.

After asking, I learned that this is the latest generation of placement machine developed by Infinite Company. The speed can reach wafer/hour and the accuracy is 40 microns. It is the most critical and complex equipment in the entire SMT.

This kind of precision equipment, which should have been highly monopolized by the island country, was unexpectedly developed by Infinite Company here.

After simple calculations, they easily came to a conclusion. According to the production speed, daily output and defective rate of these automated production lines, running 24 hours a day, it would be impossible to produce hundreds of thousands of motherboards a month.

It's a piece of cake.

Many of the employees in the workshop are playing with their mobile phones, which is enough to show that the failure rate of these automated equipment is very low.

No need for maintenance at all. This is what the media says

"World factory"? Even in the eastern industrial areas of the United States, such highly automated assembly lines are rare.

They were no longer in the mood to go shopping anymore. When they returned to the hotel where they were staying, the first thing they did was to write a detailed report on what they saw and heard and send it to the relevant organizations on the other side of the ocean by email.

At 9:00 the next day, the Xiangjiang stock market opened as usual. However, someone soon discovered that the market had opened nearly two percentage points higher!

Just when investors were asking around to see if there was any good news, Infinite Company's stock price was directly fixed at HK$524.79 after the call auction, an increase of 105%!

Hong Kong stockholders couldn't believe their eyes! They clearly remembered that the closing price of Infinite Company yesterday was HK$256, with a market value of more than 120 billion. For such a giant company, the stock price usually fluctuates relatively little. What happened today?

Uncharacteristically, it doubled in price?

I haven’t heard of any special news! Among them, some retail investors who held stocks couldn’t help but sell out immediately after the official opening of trading when faced with such huge floating profits in their accounts.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the order was placed, there were several huge orders, and the scattered orders on the market were wiped out at a price that was nearly ten percent higher than the current price, without any pause or hesitation.

Affected by this sentiment, the stock price once approached HK$550 during the session. Just buying 100 shares per lot would cost more than HK$50,000.

When many investors in Xiangjiang saw this, they said they couldn't afford it. In the past, you could buy it if you didn't have food or drink for one month's salary. Now that it has more than doubled, you can only take a look.

The inexplicable surge in stock prices forced the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to temporarily suspend trading in Infinite Company's shares and sent a letter of inquiry to the company's board of directors, asking whether there was any undisclosed major information that caused abnormal fluctuations in the stock price.

When Chen Weidong received the inquiry letter, he was also confused. But soon, he thought of the key point. Those Wall Street institutions couldn't help but take action.

He was not panicking. He asked Li Xi'er to count last time. Now in the stock market, the circulating shares of Infinite Company are very rare. Most of them are in the hands of a few of their senior executives and some consortium institutions.

Only a small part is held by retail investors. Even if someone collects all the stocks in the hands of retail investors, it will not have any impact on the company's control.

However, the current stock price of more than 500 yuan is indeed too high. Even in future generations, it will still be considered a high-priced stock. An excessively high stock price is not conducive to retail investors' buying and will affect the liquidity of the stock.

This problem was resolved at the shareholders' meeting three days later. At the meeting, Chen Weidong proposed ex-rights on the stock price. The profit distribution plan was to give out 50 shares for every 10 shares, which would lower the stock price and allow more investors to enjoy

to the dividends brought by the company's development.

Lin Zeju and Chen Jie had no objections to this. After more than 10,000 shareholders, large and small, voted on site, the plan was finally approved with a approval rate of 96% and submitted to the Stock Exchange for review.

Specific matters will have to be approved by the Stock Exchange before they can be officially implemented. With such a high proportion of transfers, the news cannot be concealed at all. After the shareholders' meeting, countless financial media reported the news.

In this day and age, it is considered a gift to get five out of ten stocks of a listed company.

"High bonuses are transferred", and now Infinite Company is giving out 50 bonuses for 10 bonuses, which is unprecedented in the Hong Kong stock market.

Therefore, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was also shocked when it received this advance notice. This was completely unprecedented.

It is almost setting a record for Hong Kong stock transfers. However, at the meeting, a staff member with a better memory said that in the mainland, the A-share market has already had a more terrifying transfer record: June 4, 1992, China

One of the earliest listed companies, Feile Co., Ltd. went ex-rights and ex-dividend, and its profit distribution plan was to give out 90 shares for every 10 shares.

At the same time, 10 shares were allocated for every 10 shares at a price of 6 yuan per share. After ex-rights and dividends, its stock price plummeted from 2,600 yuan to more than 160 yuan.

Ever since, after many considerations, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange finally agreed to the plan. After the shareholders' meeting came to an end, the senior executives of Infinite Company were not idle, and they also joined forces with some well-known foreign investors such as the Ministry of Commerce, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Science and Technology Commission.

The company held a large-scale technology transfer meeting.

The six major laboratories also took advantage of this opportunity to sell and license some technology patents that could be used for commercialization, thus raising a large amount of research and development funds.

As the relationship between the two eased, some embargoed equipment under the Batumi Agreement began to be sold to China in small quantities.

Infinite Company took this opportunity and used the name of a third party to purchase a lot of high-precision equipment that could not be manufactured or produced domestically, filling many technical gaps and paving the way for the next plan.

In 2004, too many things happened around the world. Fortunately, the Chinese New Year has quietly arrived.
