Technology Tycoon: From Real Estate Tycoon To Technology Overlord

"Chairman Zheng, currently our costs in all aspects have been reduced to the lowest, and there is no way we can find any expenditure that can be reduced!"

The branch factory manager heard that Zheng Quede actually asked for a reduction in production costs.

He complained immediately and immediately began to report on the recent reduction in expenditure in that area.

Then he began to propose that we need to increase spending in several areas.

Having said this, in the final calculation, let alone reducing production costs, costs are estimated to increase by about 3% starting from the second half of the third quarter.

Now Zheng Quede couldn't help but come over to ask for cost reduction.

Now it has become an increase in production costs.

"No!" Zheng Quede put the cigar in his hand behind the ashtray in front of him, then stared at the manager and said directly:

"The cost must be reduced by more than 5%. If this is not possible, please hand over your resignation form to me today on May 23rd!"

"If you don't know where to reduce it, then why not consider lowering it a little bit on labor costs?"

Zheng Quede has enjoyed low-cost labor in China, and now he wants to try it when he comes to the Eagle's Beak Country.

"Well, Chairman Zheng, you also know that since we got rid of union control, we have reduced employee wages to the minimum standard!"

"Now employees' salaries cannot be reduced by even a dime, otherwise they will have the right to sue our company!"

When the manager heard Zheng Quede's words, he thought he was stupid and didn't know the current salary situation in the company, so he quickly started to explain.

"When did I ask you to lower your salary?" Zheng Quede looked at the manager with great dissatisfaction and angrily said:

"You have to know that the salary of the lowest-paid employee in this factory is five or six times higher than that of our headquarters in China!"

"Although wages cannot be reduced now, reducing labor costs is not the only option."

The manager immediately understood the meaning of Zheng Quede's words, looked at him and asked slowly:

"Chairman Zheng, do you mean layoffs? Increase the work intensity of each employee and reduce the number of employees in the factory to achieve the effect of reducing labor costs?"

"clever!!!"

Find the key point of the matter, and the topic will open up easily.

Everyone in the conference room began to accompany Zheng Quede as he began to study how to scientifically reduce employees.

Finally, someone directly proposed to find factory engineers to come and study together. Zheng Quede thought about it and agreed.

Directly calling in several engineers to study science together increases the burden on employees.

At the end of the meeting, they actually came up with a reasonable plan to reduce employees, and finally decided to lay off about 8% of their employees.

Of course, this is far from Zheng Quede's 5% reduction in production costs.

In the end, Zheng Quede could only leave the meeting with one sentence: continue to reduce some unnecessary expenses and dissolve the meeting.

After visiting the factory, Zheng Quede came to Tesla Group the next day to meet with Muska, the richest man.

Tes Group can be regarded as a very important customer of Wangde Glass.

Currently, Tes Group has production lines both in China and China, and the glass used is also produced by Wangde Group.

Since Tesla Motors has become famous all over the world, the other party's customer status in Wonder Glass has gradually improved.

"Director Zheng! Why are you here?"

At first, Maska didn't believe it when his secretary said that Zheng Quede had come to visit him.

After all, although both parties know each other, Tes is also an important customer of the other party.

But he really couldn't figure out why Zheng Quede came to the door. After all, it was impossible for Glass Industry to choose another company.

There is no need for him to come here to maintain friendship.

It wasn't until he met Zheng Quede that Maska truly believed that the other party had come to visit him.

"President Ma, I didn't bother you!"

Facing Muska, the world's richest man, Zheng Quede behaved very modestly.

Maska stared at Zheng Quede in confusion and said slowly: "Don't bother me, I just happened to be taking a break after finishing the matter! Is something wrong, Director Zheng?"

Zheng Quede did not reveal his intentions immediately, but the topic turned to new lithium batteries.

At this time, everyone knew that the Tesla Group had joined Figueira's alliance.

After all, Tesla cars are new energy vehicles and are very dependent on batteries.

In the past, Tes Group had its own battery patents, and before the emergence of new lithium batteries, their self-developed batteries were still at the forefront of the world.

However, with the emergence of new lithium batteries, this battery technology is naturally a backward product.

Now because of the new lithium battery import ban issued by China, Tesla Group does not dare to use new lithium batteries even if it wants to...

Now naturally we can only hope that the Figueira Alliance can crack the new lithium battery technology and quickly start mass production so that Tesla cars can use the new lithium batteries.

"President Ma, I wonder if your alliance laboratory has made any breakthroughs in new lithium battery technology?"

Maska, who was originally very relaxed, sat up straight in an instant, stared at Zheng Quede and said:

"Director Zheng, what do you mean by this? Are you planning to help Tiansheng Energy inquire about the progress of our alliance?"

"No no no!!!"

Zheng Quede quickly waved his hand and explained:

"President Ma has misunderstood. Our Wangde Group is now a mortal enemy of Tiansheng Energy! How can we help him inquire about this matter!"

Maska naturally heard about the incident between Tiansheng Energy and Zheng Quede some time ago, but being far away in Yingjiang Country, he couldn't tell the truth from the truth.

Seeing Zheng Quede's performance at this moment, he immediately guessed that the news he heard that Kaisheng Energy was preparing to enter the glass industry was true because of the disagreement between the two parties.

"Director Zheng, I only play a small role in the New Lithium Battery Alliance, and I don't know much about the inside information."

"If you came to see me because you are curious about this matter, then I can only disappoint you. If it is something else, please..."

Even if he already believed that the two sides were at odds, Maska did not intend to reveal anything about the alliance.

Directly ask Zheng Quede not to talk about this matter, and if there is anything else to talk about immediately 3.6.

Zheng Quede saw that Maska didn't want to say more and wasn't curious.

"President Ma, I believe you should have heard the news. Tiansheng Energy is preparing to enter the glass industry, including the automotive glass industry, and directly announced that it will compete with our Wangde Group.

After Zheng Quede saw Maska nodding to express that he knew the news, he quickly continued:

"Haha! President Ma came here mainly to ask you for two things."

“First, I naturally hope that your company will not consider Tiansheng Energy when purchasing glass in the future.

"After all, today he can cross over into the glass industry, and maybe tomorrow he can cross over into the automobile industry to compete with you, right?"

"Second, considering that we have cooperated for so long, in order to reward old customers, we are going to give Tes Group a 3% discount on all orders!"
