After the breakup, I joined the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection

After watching the employees at the paging station line up to voluntarily give up their unpaid wages and sign the stock conversion agreement, Lu An finally felt relieved.

There is no good or bad result. If the employees are willing to convert their unpaid wages into shares, Lu An can alleviate some of his cash pressure; if they are unwilling to convert their unpaid wages into shares, Lu An can also save himself a trouble.

Deng Weichen was the last one. In the manager's office, Deng Weichen unexpectedly chose shares.

"It seems that Manager Deng is very optimistic about the future development of the paging station." Lu An said.

Deng Weichen shook his head and said that he trusted the New Huai Group more: "Although Wengui is a man who can't spit out ivory, the New Huai Group and Chairman Gu have a good reputation. I don't think they will do anything without a purpose."

For a company as large as the Xinhuai Group, we have never heard of any policy of acquiring paging stations. It is hard not to be suspicious when they suddenly came today.

I have to say that Deng Weichen is a smart man. Maybe he doesn't have enough business talent, but as long as other people have the ability, as long as he follows the big guys' choices, he will most likely not be wrong.

Lu An did not refuse, or rather, Lu An himself also hoped that Deng Weichen would hold shares.

After all, compared to those ordinary operators outside who can be replaced at any time, Deng Weichen, the supervisor who can lead a team, obviously needs more shares to tie him here.

After signing the agreement, Lu An finally taught Deng Weichen his way of playing.

"Manager Deng has always been curious about why we were able to get more than 200 new users at once. That's because of the free phone giveaway..."

Deng Weichen felt that his three views were completely overturned after hearing this, because he felt that this activity was a pure loss of money. You know, even if the price of the pager is reduced, it still requires a certain amount of capital. Similarly, they also need to buy pager cards at a high price to join the network.

More importantly, he couldn't see where the profit could be made.

Is there a service charge?

However, the paging station does not work for free. As the number of users continues to increase, the paging station will definitely have to expand accordingly, which will require more operating and management costs.

The current ten yuan service fee can be said to have reduced the cost of the paging station to the limit. It may just be enough to maintain the operation of the paging station, but as for how much profit it can generate? It's better to shake your head.

But if it weren't for the service fee, Deng Weichen really couldn't think of anything else.

Lu An jokingly asked him: "Are you regretting your shares too early?"

Deng Weichen looked a little embarrassed, because he had indeed thought about this for a moment, but then he shook his head: "From the current perspective, if our paging station does not hold this kind of free phone giveaway event, there is no way to attract a large number of users."

What Deng Weichen said was all true. Before today, their paging stations were even illegal black paging stations, and pager cards had to be purchased separately from the post office. How could they be competitive at all?

Lu An smiled and patted his shoulder to reassure him: "That's good to understand. Don't worry, as long as there is a large user base, you will be able to choose opportunities to make money."

Next, Lu An gave Deng Weichen two tasks. The first one was to create a model based on the usual working mode of the paging station to see how many users each operator could serve on average. For every additional number of users, an operator would have to be added accordingly.

Another way is to contact the BB machine manufacturer. After all, if you want to carry out the free machine giveaway activity for network access for a long time, you will need a large and stable supply channel.

Deng Weichen took on the two tasks very happily. First of all, he had already noticed the situation of the operators and users in his past work. He said that the current scale of the paging station was designed based on a user group of more than 5,000.

As for the manufacturer of the pager, Deng Weichen told Lu An that the factory where he used to work would be fine.

Lu An then remembered that Wen Gui had indeed mentioned that Deng Weichen used to be a cadre in a state-owned electronics factory, but later the electronics factory went bankrupt and Deng Weichen was forced to work outside.

Deng Weichen told Lu An that his original factory was still there, but it had been contracted out to a private person. However, he assured Lu An that the factory definitely had the ability to produce BB machines, because when the factory was in its worst period of business, the workers in the factory secretly took over jobs from outside, including the production and processing of BB machines.

Hearing this answer, Lu An was both angry and amused. This factory clearly had the ability to produce pagers, so why didn't it start producing them before?

You have to know that those were the golden age of pagers a few years ago, and a pager cost an extremely high price of five or six thousand yuan.

If your factory had produced a batch secretly, it would not have ended up going bankrupt.

However, this is also the current situation of many state-owned enterprises in this era. They are all conservative and would rather bother their superiors every day and wait for financial allocations to receive relief and eat, rather than use their brains to reform.

Begging with a golden bowl in hand.

Lu An didn't care about these things. He immediately made a decision: "Okay, then I'll trouble Manager Deng to take us to the factory. We need to finalize the production task immediately."

Lu An was very decisive. He took Deng Weichen to Guangming Town and arrived at the door of a company called Honghua Electronics.

Deng Weichen told Lu An that this was the former Guangming Yidian, but now it has been contracted out to a private company and renamed Honghua Electronics.

"Hey! Isn't that Foreman Deng? How come you have time to beg for food again today?"

A head popped out of the communication room at the entrance of the electronics factory, and a man looked at Deng Weichen and shouted in a sarcastic tone.

Deng Weichen felt very embarrassed about this. He told Lu An that when the electronics factory went bankrupt and liquidated, he was actually owed a large sum of wages. Later, the money for buying out his seniority was far from enough. Deng Weichen believed that the new factory director was targeting him, so he came to the factory to make trouble again and again. The guards at the message room were all old acquaintances of his.

Deng Weichen was too embarrassed to speak, but the guard on the other side was aggressive and relentless: "Boss Deng, I'm not saying anything bad about you. You're already so old, why can't you just find a job? Director Huang didn't give you a chance, why do you come to the factory every day to make trouble? Everyone gets paid so much, why are you the only one who's more noble?"

"I advise you to save your energy and stop coming to the factory to cause trouble all day. Can you save some face for yourself?"

"How about I give you two cents to buy a steamed bun? I am a kind-hearted person who likes to give alms to beggars."

There was then a burst of laughter in the message room.

"These guys are going too far!" Mu Chenggang said angrily.

Lu An laughed and took two steps forward: "Comrade, we are here to discuss business. Please help us pass the message to Director Huang."

Talking about business?

A security guard stuck his head out to take a look, and when he saw that it was Deng Weichen who came here, his expression immediately changed, and he waved his hands impatiently.

"Get out! Get out of here right now. I don't have time to deal with beggars like you."

"Our Director Huang is the leader of the factory. Since when can he find a beggar anywhere?"

"I'm warning you guys not to cause trouble here, or I'll beat the shit out of you!"

Deng Weichen's face was full of humiliation. He apologized to Lu An and said that it was all his fault for not thinking it through.

"I actually haven't been here for three months. I didn't expect they still remembered it."

Deng Weichen also suggested: "Why don't we go to other electronics factories? Guangming Town is very big, there is more than just one electronics factory."

Lu An waved his hand and told him: "I don't want to hang myself on a tree, but first we have to vent our anger on you."

Lu An then turned around and told Mu Chenggang that there were many people reselling pagers where they got off the car just now. He asked Mu Chenggang to tell those people that there were people here who bought pagers at high prices, and asked them to come to the factory gate if they wanted to sell them.

……

In the communication room of the electronics factory, several security guards were sitting together playing cards, with shouts and laughter making the scene very lively.

A leader-like man, smoking a cigarette, also asked about the situation outside: "Those beggars finally stopped shouting? Did they leave? You said the same thing about Deng Weichen, what is he doing all day long?"

But the result told him that Deng Weichen did not leave.

The head guard immediately became nervous: "What does that guy want to do? Want to cause trouble at the door? Brothers, grab your weapons and let that guy know how powerful the horse king is!"

The guard immediately explained: "Wait a minute, boss, that's not the case. He didn't cause any trouble. He just sat down at the door."

The guard looked through the window and saw Lu An, Mu Qinghong and Deng Weichen sitting on the flower bed next to the factory gate.

He was relieved. "As long as Deng Weichen doesn't cause trouble, we won't bother with him. After all, his wife ran away because she was broke. If he really goes crazy, it won't be worth it for us."

He then couldn't help looking out the window again: "Wow, but where did that woman come from? She has such an amazing figure!"

He even shouted, "Little sister, why don't you come over and play with your brothers? I guarantee you'll have a blast!"

Lu An looked at him coldly: "I advise you to shut your stinky mouth, otherwise when Director Huang comes out later, you will be finished!"

The cold words made the guard shudder unconsciously, but he still said stubbornly: "Who are you pretending to be? The master is here, do you think you can bite the master's bird?"

Mu Chenggang came back soon. When he heard that the guard had spoken rudely to his sister, he became furious and wanted to teach the guard a lesson. However, Lu An stopped him and told him that he would help Mu Qinghong get justice.

I heard that there were people here buying pagers in large quantities at high prices, so soon vendors came over.

"Brother, are you buying pagers at a high price here?"

Lu An nodded: "That's right, one hundred and fifty per unit, I can charge you as much as you have!"

The vendor was a little hesitant. After all, the price of 150 yuan was too low. He bargained with Lu An, who readily gave him 200 yuan, but then emphasized: "I will only give this price to you, but you have to help me promote it, and find me a loud speaker!"

The vendor happily agreed.

Although the price of two hundred was still very low, compared to the prices outside which were getting lower day by day, he really couldn't hold on any longer.

So he immediately completed the deal with Lu An and helped Lu An find a loud speaker.

Then a shout came from Lu An’s side: Buy the BB machines, buy them at a high price!
