Chapter 646 Uncle Li’s Request
Li Daqi returned to Pengcheng.
He has been running around outside for the past few months, busy with Shenghua Telecom's business.
In the early stage, he traveled to many places and took several teams under him to explore markets all over the country. Although he was very tired and busy, he became even darker and thinner these days, and the flesh on his cheeks was almost sunken.
It is hard work, but the results are real .
In the past few months, Shenghua Telecom has dealt with the postal and telecommunications departments of several provinces and cities and successfully signed many contracts.
In addition, the postal and telecommunications departments in other provinces and cities also made smooth progress. Although Shenghua Telecom's small programmable switching systems were far less advanced than the 10,000-line programmable switching systems of major foreign brands, they still had a large market in some areas. Moreover, Shenghua Telecom was under the banner of Xiangjiang Shenghua, so it could be considered an overseas brand. In addition, the many sales methods discussed with Song Yuanchao and Qin Zhengguo were also quite effective.
According to preliminary calculations, if the following contracts can be successfully completed, then Shenghua Telecom's products will have a firm foothold in the market. And from a profit perspective, the profits of program-controlled switches are very high, even if there is a lot of public relations expenses, the remaining profits are incomparable to Shenghua Clothing.
Just this one product exceeded the annual profit of Pengcheng Shenghua Garment Company in less than half a year, which was simply unimaginable in the past.
Only then did Li Daqi truly understand why Song Yuanchao paid so much attention to Shenghua Telecom. Although Song Yuanchao had previously told him that the main profit of the Future Group would not come from Shenghua Garment Company but from Shenghua Telecom, Li Daqi still disagreed.
Although he also admitted that Shenghua Telecom had a bright future, after all, compared with Shenghua Garment Company, Shenghua Telecom was just a new factory, with only one company under its umbrella, Pengcheng Shenghua Electronics Company. In terms of scale and number of employees, it was far inferior to Shenghua Garment Company. You should know that the most profitable company in the entire Shenghua Group was Shenghua Garment Company. Even if Shenghua Telecom had a bright future, it would take at least one or two years to develop, right?
But facts told Li Daqi that he had underestimated Shenghua Telecom. Now the achievements made by Shenghua Telecom have made Li Daqi astonished and extremely happy.
This is because Shenghua Telecom can only produce small programmable switches at present. If Shenghua Telecom can produce medium-sized or even large programmable switches, then this market will be amazing enough, and its benefits will be several times or even dozens of times higher than the current level.
The tangible achievements have made Li Daqi extremely optimistic about the future of Shenghua Telecom. One reason he came back this time was that his health was a little strained from being away for so long.
When on business trips, Li Daqi is not only responsible for the work of the team, but also has to go to the market personally with his subordinates.
While running around the market, you have to deal with all kinds of people, and when dealing with them, eating and drinking are inevitable.
In the past few months, Li Daqi has hardly had a proper meal. He is either entertaining this leader today or discussing matters with that department over a drink tomorrow.
The amount of wine he drank could roughly fill a large bathtub. He vomited so many times that he had no idea how many times he had vomited. Now Li Daqi feels nauseous whenever he smells alcohol. In just a few months, he had drunk almost all the alcohol he had ever drunk in his lifetime.
The second reason was that he received news from Pengcheng Shenghua Electronics Company that the upgraded product of the programmable switching system had been successfully tested.
Li Daqi is the boss of Pengcheng Shenghua Electronics Company. He must come back to personally check the results of the product test and decide whether to immediately invest in upgrading production. This is related to the subsequent sales and market adjustments of Shenghua Telecom products. No matter how busy he is, he must take time to make this decision.
As for the third point, it is Zheng Li. After being outside for so long, the feelings between Li Daqi and Zheng Li have not faded but become stronger.
The two of them talked on the phone twice a week. When the time came, no matter how urgent Li Daqi was, he would put it aside, pick up the phone and dial the number that was very familiar to him.
Every time she called, Zheng Li would pick up the phone as soon as it rang, because she was also waiting on the other end of the line at the exact time.
Over the phone, the two sides expressed their feelings to each other and talked for half an hour. If it weren't for the fact that it was inconvenient for Zheng Li to use the phone, Li Daqi would have continued the call.
On the phone, the two talked about everything, from daily life to their respective work, and then talked about some other topics. They talked about everything under the sun and had endless things to talk about.
The distance did not make the relationship cold, but on the contrary, the distance made each of them miss each other more.
When Li Daqi thought about seeing Zheng Li soon, he felt so happy that even his steps became lighter.
I first flew to Yangcheng, then took a car to pick up my car at Yangcheng Airport, and then took a direct bus from Yangcheng back to Pengcheng.
After arriving in Pengcheng, Li Daqi went straight to Shenghua Electronics Company.
When we arrived at Shenghua Electronics Company, we asked the general manager Shen Xiangsheng to notify everyone of the meeting. After a while, people started to enter the meeting room.
When Uncle Li walked into the meeting room with his notebook, he was stunned when he saw Li Daqi sitting in the main seat.
The notice just now did not say that Li Daqi was coming, so Uncle Li just thought it was just an ordinary meeting, but he didn't expect to see his son in the meeting room.
Li Daqi nodded slightly to Uncle Li and said nothing.
Although they are father and son, they are in a superior-subordinate relationship in the company. Moreover, Uncle Li is a pure technician, and his son is more promising than himself, which is what any father hopes to see most.
In the company, few people knew about the relationship between Uncle Li and Li Daqi, so no one knew that Uncle Li, as the deputy chief engineer, was actually the father of the big boss. Uncle Li never mentioned this matter. In his opinion, public is public and private is private. So what if he is Li Daqi's father? He makes a living by technology, so can't his son, who is the boss, do technology himself?
Moreover, Uncle Li has been working very happily at Pengcheng Shenghua Electronics in the past two years. There is none of the intrigues that he had in his old unit, nor is there the practice of laymen from above directing the experts to make trouble.
Here, I can concentrate on my technical work, discuss problems with colleagues who also have excellent technical skills, and work day and night. Although it is tiring, it is comfortable! After two years, Uncle Li is much more energetic than before and looks a lot younger.
Everyone arrived quickly, and after they arrived, General Manager Shen Xiangsheng announced the start of the meeting.
The main content of the meeting was about the new generation of programmable switching systems developed by Shenghua Electronics Company.
Currently, Shenghua Telecom's main products in the market are SH100 and SH500, which are two typical small programmable switches.
The upgraded product this time is the SH1000 model, which is a 1,000-port programmable switching system.
SH1000 can be regarded as a medium-sized program-controlled exchange, which is a great breakthrough for Shenghua Telecom. Compared with small program-controlled exchanges, SH1000 has a larger market and a wider range of applications.
During the meeting, Li Daqi first listened carefully to the technical report, and then raised several key questions.
Although Li Daqi is not from the electronics and semiconductor industry, through marketing and field work in the past few months, Li Daqi has gained a good understanding of some aspects of programmable switches. From this point of view, Li Daqi is already half an expert.
After listening to the report and carefully looking at the data results, Li Daqi expressed satisfaction with the current research and development work. Although the product upgrade was successful, the cost was too high because the parts needed to be imported, and there were also several minor problems.
In addition, considering the newly opened market for small programmable switches and a series of subsequent collaborations, Li Daqi believes that it is a bit hasty to launch this product right now.
While continuing to improve the indication technology and striving to completely resolve costs and some minor issues, Li Daqi decided to put this product on hold for the time being and consider production and sales next year.
Although this decision made the people of Pengcheng Shenghua Electronics a little disappointed, Li Daqi's next words made them happy again.
Li Daqi was very satisfied with the performance of the electronics company and decided to give everyone a generous bonus, which was not small, equivalent to several months' salary of an ordinary technician. At the same time, Li Daqi also announced that the subsequent research and development would continue, and Shenghua Telecom was not only satisfied with the SH1000 model. He hoped that the subsequent 2000, 3000, 5000 and even 10,000-port program-controlled switches could also be born in Shenghua Telecom.
The meeting ended successfully amid warm applause.
After the meeting, everyone left one after another, and Uncle Li deliberately left last. General Manager Shen Xiangsheng was one of the few people who knew the relationship between Li Daqi and Uncle Li. Seeing this scene, he understood it clearly and subtly told the few people who had not left to go and talk about something, leaving some private space for Uncle Li and Li Daqi.
"dad!"
Li Daqi stood up and walked to Uncle Li.
Uncle Li nodded slightly and glanced at Li Daqi: " How come you are so thin? There is not even an ounce of flesh left on your face?"
Li Daqi just chuckled and said nothing. He knew his father's temper very well, and explaining too much would only make things unclear.
"Come home for dinner tonight. I'll ask your mother to make you some delicious food to nourish you." Uncle Li knew that Li Daqi had been on business trips for the past few months, so he thought for a while and said.
"This...?" Li Daqi hesitated. Of course he missed his mother and her food. But he had just come back today and was planning to go find Zheng Li. They had been separated for so long that Li Daqi missed her so much that he wanted to fly to her side immediately. But now his father asked him to go home for dinner, which made him hesitate for a moment.
"What's going on? Is there something going on later? Do you need to go to the clothing company?" Uncle Li asked.
Li Daqi shook his head and decided not to go to the clothing company for the time being. Now the work there was basically taken over by Zhang Jiaming and Xiaoqi, and the two of them worked together very well.
"I'm going to see someone..."
"Meet someone? Who?" Uncle Li was stunned, and then looked carefully at Li Daqi's embarrassed expression. He suddenly remembered that when he met Qin Zhengguo some time ago, Qin Zhengguo told him that his son was in love.
"You want to meet Xiao Zheng?"
"How did you know?" Li Daqi asked in surprise.
"How should I know? Why don't you ask me why I know it now?" Uncle Li glared at him unceremoniously, "You kid, you don't even tell your family that you have a partner now? Do you still have me as your father? Yes! Your mother has been nagging that even your sister has a family, but you don't even have a partner."
"Okay, let's not talk about this. If you're going to see Xiao Zheng, just bring her home. The food outside is not as good as the food at home. I'll call your mother later and ask her to make some more delicious dishes and bring the girl to us. "
After saying that, Uncle Li didn't give Li Daqi time to react. He turned around and walked towards the door. When Li Daqi came to his senses, Uncle Li was gone.
