Chapter 123 Killing two birds with one stone
The matter of mi company came to an end. Zhang Zhanguo looked at Cai Siqiang's heart and started the idea of sal company again. "I heard that sal company is interested in entering the field of voice electronic navigation. There are many old factories in the electronic industry in Dongcheng District. Cai always thought about it and put this voice electronic navigation product project in Dongcheng District."
"I promise that in various preferential policies, it will never be worse than in the high-tech zone. In terms of land use, loans, etc., the district government will also list the factory of sal company as a priority."
This information was found out by Director Lin through a young girl in the office. Director Lin once reported it to District Mayor Zhang. Unexpectedly, District Mayor Zhang had a good memory and still remembered this incident at this time.
Cai Siqiang smiled. He is not as easy to talk to as Duke. The voice electronic navigation product project is indeed at the point of going into production, but whether to choose OEM or to produce it himself is not yet determined within the company. What's more, this project is implemented.
"District Mayor Zhang was joking. Our project is still in the laboratory stage and there is still some time before it is put into production." Cai Siqiang politely declined.
"The factory can be built first. I am very confident about the product of Sal. Even if it is built first, it will not become an unfinished project." Zhang Zhanguo was not giving up. "I am a classmate of Mr. Lu from the Chengdu factory in FAW. Since this navigation product is mainly used in cars, I will ask Mr. Lu and Mr. Cai to meet and discuss it another day to see if the two parties have room for cooperation."
After Zhang Zhanguo said this, Cai Siqiang really felt aroused. Now the prototype product of SAL's voice navigation has indeed come out. The 5-inch and 7-inch screen navigation instrument can now basically complete natural voice navigation kilometers, with very powerful voice search and navigation functions.
Compared with existing navigation products, the driver's risk of navigation operations during driving is greatly reduced due to the realization of all-natural voice control and output. It is convenient for the driver to use the navigation device at any time during driving to adjust the destination at any time.
In terms of function, SAL's navigation device does have obvious advantages over most navigation devices on the market.
But now there is a lack of opportunity for promotion.
It’s not that this thing cannot be sold, but that in the current market filled with various navigation instruments, if there is no good promotion plan, it is difficult to make a good profit for selling this navigation instrument. Judging from the current navigation instrument market, the profit of navigation instruments worth a few hundred yuan is very meager. However, this cheap copycat is the mainstream of the current market.
If you enter this market rashly at a higher price, Cai Siqiang is worried that Qu Gao and Wu will be difficult to sell. This thing does not seem to have huge technical advantages between voice input method and traditional keyboard input method.
But if you can take the path of integration with the manufacturer, it is a different matter. The so-called 4S store has an original navigation device, which can be installed for 3,000 yuan or 4,000 yuan. There is a natural price difference between this and the many copycat goods on the market today.
So Cai Siqiang was really moved when he heard this. But he was the one who didn’t see a rabbit and didn’t show off the eagle. Of course, he wouldn’t be dismissed just because Zhang Zhanguo said this. “Is that right? If District Mayor Zhang can really match our sal company to cooperate with manufacturers like FAW, then it would be okay for our factory to be located in Dongcheng District.”
Seeing that Cai Siqiang is not as easy as Duke, Zhang Zhanguo smiled. "Mr. Cai is really quick to speak, so I'll just say that. Let's go back and let's see when it's convenient for everyone to sit together." Mr. Lu is a hardcore buddy in his university. This time he came to the Rongcheng factory as the boss, and there are some factors of Zhang Zhanguo. After all, people of the level of theirs will be much easier if everyone helps with things.
This automobile factory is not like an ordinary factory. The land involved is extremely large, and the work cannot be carried out without strong personnel cooperation. It is of course a great convenience for Mr. Lu to come to Chengdu to have strong assistance like Zhang Zhanguo. In fact, through Zhang Zhanguo's relationship, Mr. Lu, FAW, has successfully obtained a preferential loan of 1 billion yuan from the bank in Chengdu.
Compared with these, this business of installing OEM navigation instruments is not worth mentioning. Zhang Zhanguo is sure that Lu will sell his face. Moreover, Zhang Zhanguo believes that with the existing strength of SAL, the navigation instruments made will not be much worse in terms of quality and function. He may be a favor.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhanguo smiled, "I don't know when the sample of this navigation device of SAL company will come out. If Mr. Cai can bring the sample to discuss at that time, I think the premise of this cooperation will be much more."
Although Zhang Zhanguo has confidence in the products of the sal company, he does not trust unconditionally. If he could have a sample for his old classmates to see, the uncertainty of this matter would be even smaller. Even if there is any problem in the future, he would pick him out. Therefore, Zhang Zhanguo's request is a good thing for him to kill two birds with one stone.
So no one who is involved in the officialdom is simple. He naturally considers all the small things.
After this, it seems too early to have lunch. Although Zhang Zhanguo has a lot of things, it is impossible for him to have less time to do this every day. However, Zhang Zhanguo didn't want to leave. Today, he had a smooth talk with the two bosses. It would be a waste not to contact him quickly.
So when Zhang Zhanguo came here, he made up his mind to stay here this morning. Director Lin was sent out by him to prepare for the lunch banquet. He originally planned to fail to talk in the morning, but he continued to talk after lunch. He didn't know that Duke was so easy to talk to, but he made these preparations a little redundant.
However, Zhang Zhanguo was still happy to be able to knock out something from the sal company.
So he was ready to stay until noon at this moment, and then naturally invited two gods of wealth to dinner. However, being idle is not a big deal, so Zhang Zhanguo led the topic to the business and products of SAL. When he heard that Jindi mobile phones using SAL's voice control technology sold for more than 40 billion yuan, Zhang Zhanguo's cunning was so deep that he couldn't help but thrill his eyelids.
What a great project, why didn’t I think I would introduce it to Dongcheng District at the beginning? You know, Dongcheng District’s GDP last year was only more than 40 billion and less than 50 billion. After introducing this project, wouldn’t it be possible to double the GDP in a year? Zhang Zhanguo couldn’t help but jumped violently. Although he had already seen this sal company high enough, he didn’t expect that there were still many surprises waiting for him.
Fortunately, the High-tech Zone did not introduce this mobile phone project. Somehow, Zhang Zhanguo suddenly had this idea. Otherwise, there would be basically nothing else in the evaluation of several major districts and counties this year.
With this thought, Zhang Zhanguo made up his mind to fool all the sal company's product manufacturing to Dongcheng District. No matter how bad the navigation device is, he would have to convince Mr. Lu to agree first. Although this matter is really a very small probability, look at the performance of other people's customized mobile phones in the market.
Zhang Zhanguo knew very well that for domestic brand mobile phones, generally, in the mid- and low-end market, Jindi was able to sell an astonishing sales of 40 billion yuan, so there was no doubt that it had entered the mid-to-high-end market. Since these were all happened after the intervention of SAL, the technical strength of SAL is obviously much stronger than the information shown by Director Lin.
Maybe there is something good that has not been taken out yet. In the software part, there is nothing to compete for in Dongcheng District, but Zhang Zhanguo decided to do his best to pull all of them to Dongcheng District. It is necessary! Zhang Zhanguo secretly made up his mind after listening to Cai Siqiang's introduction.
It's really worth it today. Not only did Duke's investment basically finalize, but Sal, a big fish that is still sinking to the bottom of the water, has been drawn out by its own bait.
As he said this, it was noon. Since it was time to eat at noon, it would be natural to have lunch together. Although Duke and Cai Siqiang repeatedly stated that the sal company invited him, Zhang Zhanguo still firmly asked Director Lin to drive a Mercedes-Benz business car to pick up people.
The lunch was arranged in a place that Duke and Sin-Chat had never heard of, but as soon as they arrived, Duke and Sin-Chat immediately felt that the so-called high-end catering venues such as Ginkgo were still too tacky compared to this place. Because the membership system was completely implemented here and it would not be open to business outside at all.
To be honest, even Duke and the others will probably not find a place next time they come.
"Do you two like to be more lively or more simplistic?" Zhang Zhanguo asked Duke and Cai Siqiang with a smile.
Seeing this formation, Cai Siqiang had a little idea. He couldn't help but ask, "What if it's lively? So what if it's more simplistic?"
"This is more lively, so you can naturally ask for some performances when eating, so you can watch it while eating. As for being more pure, you just eat and listen to some music." Zhang Zhanguo took out a card and handed it to the front desk girl with excellent temperament. Cai Siqiang's sharp eyes actually recognized a model from the southwest competition.
This front desk girl is of this level, which makes Cai Siqiang very interested.
"I think it's better to be more simplistic." Duke said immediately without waiting for Cai Siqiang to speak. As soon as he entered the venue, he felt a little strange. When he saw that all the handsome men and beautiful women were all guessing something in his heart.
However, I have been used to seeing Duke like Shu Ya and Susanna, and I have no interest in these things. So what about the model champion in the Southwest region? Compared to Susanna's blood-spraying figure, I have to cover her face and leave.
Cai Siqiang, a person who is used to thinking with his lower body, is like a fish in water for these things, so Duke decisively refused to give him a chance to speak. Based on his understanding of Cai Siqiang, this kid is probably about to be lively.
However, Duke now knows that Zhang Zhanguo can bring him and Cai Siqiang here, which is really heart-warming. To put it bluntly, Zhang Zhanguo really regards them as objects of equal interaction and is ready to deepen his relationship with them.
Duke is not opposed to the good relationship between the same senior official. After all, there will be many places in his business that need to trouble Zhang Zhanguo in the future, but Duke is really not used to this method.
Chapter completed!
