Chapter 846: A ray of hope
If it was the photo taking at the scenic spot before, no matter how much money Zhang Jian made, it was within the rules, but the subsequent computer health check was purely fooling people.
To put it bluntly, charging 30 yuan for a health check is just a tax on your IQ. Song Yuanchao is not an ordinary person. He played with computers a lot in his previous life. How could he not understand this?
Zhang Jian is indeed smart and has brains, which is of course a good thing if used in the right way, but once he goes astray, it is hard to say. The smarter a person is, the easier it is for him to go astray. Song Yuanchao does not want Zhang Jian to go further and further down the wrong path.
Fortunately, Zhang Jian was a sensible man. When he told Song Yuanchao that he had finished this job, Song Yuanchao felt relieved.
"So what are you doing now?" Song Yuanchao asked.
"I went back for the New Year, and then I went back to Guangzhou after the New Year." Zhang Jian said. He suddenly remembered something and took out two business cards from his pocket and handed them to Song Yuanchao and Sun Yaoliang: "I almost forgot, I opened a company now, and these are my business cards."
"Lawrence Medical Technology Co., Ltd.? A joint venture? Who is this Lawrence?" Sun Yaoliang took the business card, took a look at it, and asked.
"Haha, Lawrence is me. It's a random foreign name I gave myself. It's a private company, but it's just a wolf in sheep's clothing." Zhang Jian replied with a smile.
"What does your company do?" Sun Yaoliang asked.
Zhang Jian told them that the company had just been established and there were only three people including himself and his employees. Although the company was established, the business had not yet started, mainly because the product had not yet been finalized. This time he came to Pengcheng to discuss this matter. He asked someone to design an electronic blood pressure measuring instrument.
Zhang Jian briefly introduced the design ideas of this electronic blood pressure monitor and his views on the market. After listening, Sun Yaoliang said to Zhang Jian: "This thing sounds good. Where is the finished product? Bring it to have a look?"
"Where can we get a finished product? We only have design drawings now, and no samples have been produced yet." Zhang Jian shook his head and said, "I came here to find a cooperative manufacturer. I originally thought it would not be a big problem to find an electronics factory to test-produce samples, and then put them into production after they are perfected. But I didn't expect that I thought this matter was too simple. I have visited many factories in Pengcheng in the past few days, but the results are not very good."
Zhang Jian told them everything about the contact he had with the electronics factory in the past few days. After he finished, Zhang Jian shook his head and sighed, "My product is not yet finalized, and I can't pay too much money to the electronics factory. In addition, the subsequent orders are still unknown. The electronics factory I have talked to now is unwilling to cooperate. Even if there are conditions offered by those who are willing to cooperate, I can't accept them."
"Lao Sun, it was a coincidence that you ran into me at the bus stop earlier. I just came out of the electronics factory across the street, and the bus we were waiting for hadn't arrived yet, otherwise we would have missed it."
"Haha, this is really a coincidence." Sun Yaoliang nodded and smiled. Then he began to think about it and subconsciously looked towards Song Yuanchao.
Song Yuanchao already understood Zhang Jian's idea at this time. To be honest, it was a good idea for Zhang Jian to think of producing electronic blood pressure monitors from this perspective. According to Song Yuanchao, the inventor of the electronic blood pressure monitor was Omron of Japan, which had the first generation of products in the early 1970s and has now developed to the second generation.
Similar products first appeared in China around 1991, but Song Yuanchao is not very clear about which company developed it.
Now, Zhang Jian has worked out the design ideas for this type of product two years in advance, and is ready to invest in actual product finalization and production. From this point of view, Zhang Jian's vision is still very good. The market for medical products is huge. The entire market size is worth hundreds of billions or even trillions. Of course, this is a total medical market size, but judging from this single product, the domestic market is at least worth hundreds of millions.
More importantly, Omron's products have not yet entered the domestic market, and the domestic market is completely blank in this area. Once Zhang Jian's product is successful and put into production and sales, the benefits it brings will be huge.
Song Yuanchao asked Zhang Jian if he had the design information of this product. Zhang Jian said of course he had it. Song Yuanchao asked if he could take a look. Zhang Jian said no problem and immediately took out the prepared information from his bag and handed it over. Although Song Yuanchao didn't know much about this product, he knew a little about electronics. After taking a general look, he asked Zhang Jian a few questions, including the situation of the electronics factory when he was negotiating with them.
After listening to Zhang Jian, Song Yuanchao thought for a while and told Zhang Jian that he could help introduce an electronics company to see if it could make this product. After learning the result, Zhang Jian was overjoyed. He thanked Song Yuanchao repeatedly and asked which company it was.
"Shenghua Electronics." Song Yuanchao said, "It's a company under our Shenghua Group, and it's a factory under our subsidiary Shenghua Telecom. Although this factory produces telecommunications products, it should be able to make Zhang Jian's product. However, Zhang Jian needs to have a detailed discussion with Shenghua Electronics. As the chairman, he can help make the connection and provide some arrangement assistance."
Hearing what Song Yuanchao said, Zhang Jian was overjoyed. He had been in Pengcheng for several days and of course had heard of the name of Shenghua Electronics. It was just because there was a sign of Shenghua Telecom outside the store, and Zhang Jian had heard before that Shenghua Electronics' products were mainly telecommunications products, so he had never dealt with this company.
Now with Song Yuanchao's help, Zhang Jian was happy and relieved. It was like when one was at the end of one's rope, there was always a way out!
Upon learning the result, Zhang Jian was overjoyed and didn't even want to drink anymore. He just wanted to communicate with Shenghua Electronics as soon as possible.
Seeing how eager he was, Song Yuanchao smiled and said, "Okay, just go do your work first and then have a good drink after you're done." After chatting for so long, everyone was almost done with lunch, so Song Yuanchao got up and took Zhang Jian to Shenghua Electronics. After arriving at Shenghua Electronics, he asked someone to introduce Zhang Jian and his products. With Song Yuanchao's presence, Shenghua Electronics was naturally very enthusiastic about Zhang Jian, not only inviting him to sit in the conference room, but also calling in engineers and technicians from the factory to evaluate his product design.
There is no need for Song Yuanchao to follow up on what happens next, as Shenghua Electronics will naturally make the arrangements.
Song Yuanchao also privately instructed Shenghua Electronics to provide as much convenience as possible. As for the large-scale production in the later stage, Shenghua Electronics may not make this product, but Liu Da's factory is in Pengcheng, so the order can be placed with Liu Da.
Seeing Zhang Jian enthusiastically discussing with the engineers and technicians in the factory, Song Yuanchao greeted him and said that he would have the factory car take him to his home after the work was done. Zhang Jian waved his hand to refuse, saying that he already had a place to stay and the hotel he was staying in was not bad.
But Song Yuanchao was not willing to do that. How could he let his old classmate continue to live in a hotel when he was already in Pengcheng? Unexpectedly, Zhang Jian said that it was really inconvenient to live at home. After a long discussion, Sun Yaoliang made a suggestion. Since Zhang Jian didn't want to live at Song Yuanchao's house, and he was also focusing on this product these days, it would be better to let Zhang Jian live directly in the dormitory of Shenghua Electronics.
The dormitory conditions at Shenghua Electronics are good, especially those for the management, which are better than many hotels. In addition, there is a canteen in the factory, which makes it convenient to communicate with the factory on a daily basis.
This suggestion is not bad. Song Yuanchao said to Zhang Jian, "This will work, right? It will allow him to live better and it will also be convenient for his work. If Zhang Jian doesn't agree to this, Song Yuanchao will be angry."
Zhang Jian thought about it and finally nodded. Song Yuanchao was very happy to see that he agreed. He helped Zhang Jian to pick up his luggage and check out of the hotel, and then took him to the dormitory of Shenghua Electronics. Looking at the conditions of the dormitory, Zhang Jian was also surprised. He never expected that the conditions here would be so good. But since he agreed to stay, Zhang Jian didn't say anything else.
After settling Zhang Jian, Zhang Jian couldn't wait to continue discussing work with the engineers and technicians of the electronics factory. Before leaving, he told Song Yuanchao and the others not to worry about him. He knew that Song Yuanchao and Sun Yaoliang were very busy people, so he let them do their own things. When the work here was done, he would treat his old classmates, and then they could have a good drink to express their gratitude.
After leaving Shenghua Electronics, Sun Yaoliang took Song Yuanchao's car back to the villa.
Back at the villa, Song Yuanchao made tea again, and the two of them drank tea and talked about Zhang Jian. During the conversation, Sun Yaoliang said that when he was studying, he didn't realize that Zhang Jian had such a business mind, no wonder he didn't want to stay in the unit. This time he really made the right choice to go into business, and it was a waste of talent for Zhang Jian to stay in the old unit with his ability.
In addition, Sun Yaoliang also said that Song Yuanchao should have insisted more and let Zhang Jian go to Si Te Company. If Zhang Jian had gone to Si Te, he would definitely be a good hand in the market. If he could partner with him to manage the sales company, he would be much more relaxed now.
"Don't you know his temper? Even though he looks cheerful when he is in school, he has big ideas in his mind. Yaoliang, Lao Zhang is a man who would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of an ox. He can't get by if you ask him to work here. It's better to let him make his own way." As he said this, Song Yuanchao pointed to his chest.
Sun Yaoliang nodded in agreement. To be honest, he admired Zhang Jian from the bottom of his heart. Although Sun Yaoliang was doing really well in Site now, compared with Zhang Jian who conquered the world with bare hands, he felt that he was far inferior to Zhang Jian in terms of courage and business acumen.
"Do you think that Mr. Zhang's product has a future?"
"Haha, there is definitely a future. The key lies in the product and sales method. However, Lao Zhang can make so much money from taking photos and doing health tests. Do you think he will do something that is uncertain?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Yaoliang also laughed and nodded in agreement.
