Chapter 248 Research Room
The two sides discussed the mode of cooperation again and finally agreed that the school would set up the "Ping An Electric Bicycle Research Laboratory", and the Ping An Electric Bicycle Factory would be responsible for funding the purchase of research equipment and daily expenses. The school would be equipped with a full professor, an associate professor, and a research team of several researchers. Based on the research results, the Ping An Factory would give certain rewards. The patents for the research results would belong to the Ping An Factory. The Ping An Factory would send people to participate in the work of the laboratory, and all personnel in the laboratory must sign a confidentiality agreement.
Professor Zheng and He Weixing signed a cooperation agreement. Lu Yajun participated in the daily work of the laboratory as the representative of Ping An Factory. Wen Qing also expressed that she would participate in the research work. He Weixing asked Lu Yajun to report the research progress to him every day.
The two researchers brought by Professor Zheng, one named Zhang Anguang and the other named Lin Jianxin, are both lecturers in the automotive field and will also participate in the research work.
The school set aside an office and named it "Ping An Electric Motor Bicycle Research Laboratory". Wen Qing discussed the list of laboratory equipment with Professor Zheng and purchased them separately with He Weixing. They were mainly small equipment. If larger equipment was needed to process parts in the future, they would have to go to the school-run factory or the Ping An Electric Bicycle Factory for processing.
It was not until the end of March that the laboratory of the University of Technology began to officially operate, and their first project was motor optimization.
After returning, He Weixing discussed with Director Huang that they could not rely entirely on the University of Technology, and could conduct their own research based on the school's research, so the factory also had to form a research team.
Two weeks later, Shen Lin calculated the value of each share of the grain company. She proposed three methods: net asset valuation, stock price of similar companies in the market, and total asset valuation. Wen Qing decided to determine the share value based on the company's assets plus profitability. The grain company was worth 500 million yuan, and its annual profit in the previous two years was about 300 million yuan, so the price of 1% of the shares was determined to be 5 yuan.
According to the grain company's profitability in the next two years, this valuation was very low. Li Zhonghua and the other two had no objection and expressed their desire to invest.
Since everyone had limited funds, Wen Qing agreed that they should pay half first and the other half within three years. This policy was the same as that of several shareholders of the feed factory. Wen Qing was worried that if it was not the same, everyone would have reservations. She also did not want to monopolize the grain company alone. By concentrating everyone's strength, the company would develop faster and she might make more profit.
Li Zhonghua took out 50 yuan and subscribed for 20% of the company's shares. Shen Lin and Zou Jie each took out 25 yuan, accounting for 10% each. The remaining funds were given to Wen Qing within three years. Wen Qing had an additional 100 million yuan in her account. Now her shares in the grain company have dropped to 60%.
Li Zhonghua and two others became shareholders of the company and were more motivated. Li Zhonghua upgraded the Jiamusi and Hubei provincial offices into branches. Zhou Yu was appointed manager of the Jiamusi branch and Shi Yue was appointed manager of the Hubei provincial branch. He issued the acquisition tasks for that year and took the sales department staff to eastern Shandong to prepare to open a new office.
Last year, Zou Jie developed more than ten new customers. This year, he plans to develop more new customers and further expand sales.
Shen Lin decided to mobilize the funds in the company's account and planned to build a grain processing plant to cooperate with Li Zhonghua's acquisition and Zou Jie's sales work, while also promoting the profit growth of the grain company.
Wen Qing agreed to everything. She asked Shen Lin to come up with a feasibility plan, and after discussion, they determined the positioning and specific operations of the processing plant.
Before the Spring Festival, the two houses in Songjiang were renovated, but the furniture had not yet been purchased. Liu Hong just returned to Pingjing on New Year's Eve.
After returning to Beijing, he immediately went to check the progress of the renovation of No. 220 Wenxing Road. The main project of the courtyard has been completed. The three small buildings are distributed in an isosceles triangle. The facades of the buildings are made of imitation granite slabs, gray-white exterior walls, and windowsills and balconies with simple lines, giving people a feeling of elegance and generosity. The lobby of the 5-story building is flanked by Corinthian columns, and the base of the columns is a lotus pedestal, which has its own characteristics in its simplicity.
After the infrastructure was completed, Wen Qing found Director Li, remeasured the area of the house, replaced the housing management certificate, and added the tool room. Now the total construction area of this 800-square-meter yard has reached 1800 square meters.
In April, Wen Qing put aside the matters concerning No. 220 Wenxing Road, waited for them to continue with the interior decoration, and went to attend the Spring Sugar and Wine Fair by herself.
Now the trade fairs that their winery regularly attends are two Food and Drinks Fairs and one Canton Fair. The others depend on time and specific arrangements.
She arrived quite early, as there were still three days before the opening of the Sugar and Wine Fair. The sales department of the winery was in charge of the Sugar and Wine Fair, and they had already made preparations in advance. Liu Quan would not arrive until the day before the opening. Wen Qing did not disrupt the staff's arrangements and went to visit the surrounding scenic spots on her own.
In fact, Wen Qing mainly went there to rest and relax. The busyness of more than two months after the Spring Festival made her exhausted.
In a deserted place, she took out her car and drove to Baizhang Gorge, more than 90 kilometers away from the city. She saw towering cliffs and green pines standing on the cliffs.
Wen Qing parked the car in the parking lot outside and walked alone along the path at the bottom of the gorge. A stream was gurgling under her feet. The high cliffs blocked the midday sun, and the canyon was very cool. She just walked slowly along the plank road, enjoying this rare leisure.
At night, she stayed at a farmer's home in the scenic area and ate simple farmer's meals, but the fresh wild vegetables and homemade bacon tasted very delicious.
The next day, she walked into the valley again and went to see the big waterfall at the bottom of the valley. The waterfall fell from a height of more than 60 meters on the mountain and flowed into a cave. The rumbling sound was like thousands of horses galloping. A huge amount of water fell into the deep pool, splashing fine mist, but the water in the pool did not rise. It should have flowed into the underground canal at the bottom of the pool.
This scenic spot has just begun to be developed, and the path is quite rugged. Most of the scenic spot is natural landscape and has not been artificially processed. There are not many tourists. Wen Qing took a long detour and went back to say goodbye to the farmer where he was staying. After leaving the scenic spot, he found his car and drove back to the city.
Since Changxia Winery has already cooperated with two major wineries, they only needed a small booth of 10 square meters this time. Their main products are Changxia Qingniang, Changxia Jingyun and "Qingfen Liquor".
In addition, a conference room was rented in the hotel upstairs from the venue to receive other distributors. Zhao Wei from Yunnan also came to attend the Food and Drinks Fair. Changxia Winery announced a new sales incentive policy, which provides certain subsidies based on the annual sales growth rate to encourage distributors to increase their purchase volume.
Wen Qing personally hosted a banquet for the main distributors of Changxia Winery, organized them to visit the famous local scenic spots of Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain, expressed Changxia Winery's sincerity in cooperation, and then returned home.
