Chapter 581 Threat
With the strong support of dealers, "Fanshuo 9208" received orders for tens of thousands of units before it was even launched on the market.
Because the company is planning to expand its recruitment, many employees quickly contacted their relatives and friends, hoping that they would also come to work at "Fanshuo Technology" and enjoy better welfare benefits than at home, just like themselves.
No matter who recommended the person, Zhou Rong required all departments to screen them according to the recruitment rules. Those who met the requirements would be retained, and those who did not meet the requirements would be rejected.
Anyone who violates the rules and recruits inappropriate people will be dismissed.
With this standard, the heads of various departments will perform their duties conscientiously, follow the rules, and not open backdoors for anyone, so as to avoid being implicated and losing their jobs...
"Fanshuo Technology" is well-known and offers good remuneration. As soon as the recruitment news was released, it attracted a large number of talents to come for interviews.
After rigorous screening, the company's talent team has been further expanded.
In November, the mobile phone production line of "Fanshuo Technology" was completed and put into use.
In early December, the first batch of 12 mobile phones was produced and delivered to dealers.
Zhou Rong spent a large amount of money to advertise on CCTV, and also placed a large number of advertisements in major newspapers, radio stations and Hong Kong.
Mobile phones with full functions and entertainment functions have caused a sensation in the market, and almost everyone with a decent fortune has one.
Seeing the good market response and the huge profit margin, dealers of "Fanshuo Technology" also spent a lot of money on advertising and increased their orders. The workshop workers had to rush to deliver the orders on time...
After the Chinese character BP machine and later new models of BP machines of "Fanshuo Technology" were launched on the market, they were bought by many competitors, who took them apart for research, attempting to copy and surpass them in order to make a profit.
But before they could figure it out, "Fanshuo 9208" came out, catching everyone off guard.
Everyone can’t understand why Fanshuo Technology is so capable of developing new products so quickly. Are all of their technical personnel geniuses?
Some people tried to poach technical engineers from Fanshuo Technology with high salaries, but none of them succeeded.
Because the confidentiality and non-competition agreement signed by Zhou Rong and those technical personnel stipulated that after they left the company, they were not allowed to work for a competing company or engage in competing business activities within five years.
If the regulations are violated, a penalty of 100 million will be required. If the company suffers significant losses, the penalty will be increased tenfold, and all bonuses, housing and other benefits received from the company will also need to be returned.
They are not stupid, why would they do something that is not worth the loss and would end up losing the watermelon?
Unable to poach employees, the competitor of "Fanshuo Technology" had to buy a mobile phone, disassemble it, and study the tricks inside...
"Fanshuo Technology" already has its own lithography machine. Although it is not as advanced as later generations, it is sufficient to cope with the current production of "Fanshuo 9208". Zhou Rong also believes that their R&D department will be able to improve and upgrade the lithography machine in the future.
After some research, it was discovered that the core secret of the mobile phone lies in that tiny chip, which is sold by no other company in the market except "Fanshuo Technology".
They came to the company and said they wanted to buy chips.
Zhou Rong did not sell it, saying that the company does not sell any accessories, only complete mobile phones.
Currently, "Fanshuo Technology" is the only dominant company in the mobile phone field. There is no reason for it to create several competitors for itself and bring trouble upon itself.
When they have eaten up most of the mobile phone market, they can consider selling chips and make a little money...
Seeing that "Fanshuo Technology" was so ignorant, those who wanted to buy chips decided to teach it a lesson.
These people united together and found their own backers in an attempt to cut off the raw materials and spare parts needed by "Fanshuo Technology" to produce pagers and mobile phones.
In the name of their backers, they contacted several well-known domestic suppliers and threatened those factories not to sell goods to "Fanshuo Technology".
Zhou Rong had seen too many such despicable tricks in her previous life and was tired of them, so she had already prepared for them.
For all raw materials and spare parts, she selected at least three suppliers, and bought them locally if possible.
Several suppliers that Zhou Rong cooperates with in Pengcheng are all foreign-invested. They put profits first. As long as the payment is in place, they will absolutely guarantee the quality and quantity of the goods. They will not be threatened by anyone because they also have backers.
If he needs to purchase goods from other places, Zhou Rong usually buys them in the name of Xiangjiang Investment Company.
Xu Hanhua’s real estate and investment companies would occasionally help with purchasing goods.
Those people wanted to destroy "Fanshuo Technology" by blocking raw materials, but failed completely.
Except for a few factories in Pengcheng, all the other suppliers they contacted said that they had not received any purchase orders from Fanshuo Technology.
But the factories in Pengcheng did not give them any face at all, and instead threatened them that if they dared to affect their business again, they would expose the matter to the public and no one would have a good life.
When their first plan failed, those people came up with another one. Under the banner of their own backers, they wanted to forcibly acquire shares in "Fanshuo Technology" in the name of investment.
Zhou Rong was not afraid of this at all. She even tricked those people into calling their backers to Pengcheng for an interview, otherwise she would not accept any "investment".
After these people went back, they exaggerated the story and said that "Fanshuo Technology" was very profitable and that as long as they bought shares in it, it would be no problem to make hundreds of millions a year. The key point was that the boss was an old woman and was easy to deal with.
There are a few old foxes in officialdom who don't believe this excuse. Do they really not have the ability to make the company so big?
There must be strong backing to support you!
They won't take risks.
Only one official in Yangcheng was blinded by money and wanted to turn "Fanshuo Technology" into his own piggy bank.
Worried that his children would be investigated for serving as shareholders, he brought his nephew to Pengcheng to meet Zhou Rong, saying that his family had contacts in the municipal government, provincial government and the army, and that he hoped that "Fanshuo Technology" would hire his nephew as deputy general manager and hold a 40% stake.
If they do not agree, "Fanshuo Technology" will face a lot of troubles, and it is hard to say when it will go bankrupt.
There are voice recorders for sale in Hong Kong, and Zhou Rong has dozens of them in his space.
As soon as he saw someone, Zhou Rong would constantly induce the other party to give out their name, unit, position, intention, and background, and then record the entire process.
After hearing those threatening words, Zhou Rong looked frightened and said that she needed to think about it. There were other shareholders in the company, and giving up 40% of the shares must be discussed with the shareholders. She would give a reply as soon as possible.
After tricking the man away, Zhou Rong sent the recorder to the mayor of Yangcheng, the governor of the province and the local newspaper.
As the recorder was about to reach its destination, Zhou Rong went to find Wu Haoqian in person and said that someone was forcing her to bribe and seize the company.
"Fanshuo Technology" is a major taxpayer in Pengcheng. It has also solved many employment problems and encouraged other technology companies to settle in Pengcheng.
Wu Haoqian's family and the Zhou family are related by marriage. For both public and private reasons, he would not allow anyone to bully "Fanshuo Technology". He contacted the mayor of Yangcheng, hoping that the matter would be dealt with strictly.
After listening to the recording, the mayor of Yangcheng wanted to investigate before making any arrangements, but he received a call from Wu Haoqian. He felt that he had lost face in another province, so he immediately suspended the man and investigated him.
After receiving the recorder, the newspaper felt that the content was so explosive that they not only published related reports in the newspaper, but also broadcast them on the radio.
The matter became more and more serious, and the people complained that the officials were abusing their power to bully others. In order to appease the public anger, the provincial government directly detained and interrogated the man, removed him from all his posts, and sentenced him to five years in prison.
All of his backers were implicated, either being investigated or fired...
