Chapter 674: Correct Guidance
is also hoarding raw materials, at the beginning of Guan Yuntian's establishment of Changda Group, he had a similar move, and it was even more thrilling, but in the end it was very profitable. But it wasn't a hot-headed improvisation, but was based on scientific analysis and a lot of research.
Even so, it was the only and last time, and in the more than 20 years since then, in the face of many opportunities, Guan Yuntian no longer dared to take such a risk, but marched on a relatively flat avenue with a steady pace. Because the bigger the enterprise does, the greater the social responsibility, he can't let nearly 30,000 employees, involving more than 20,000 families, take the same risk as riding a roller coaster with him.
Guan Yuntian inadvertently mentioned the past, but Chen Xueliang was shocked by this, he didn't expect that the introverted and low-key, steady chairman of Changda Group in front of him, and such a thrilling story, so he asked very curiously: "Mr. Guan, you were preparing a new project at that time, why did you suddenly think of hoarding natural rubber?"
Since the topic has been introduced, Guan Yuntian had to explain: "At that time, the preparation of the project to use natural rubber as raw materials, and natural rubber belongs to the international market of bulk commodities, the project preparation stage when we inspected the raw materials, from many parties to know, natural rubber prices at that time has been at a low level for many years, industry insiders told us, according to their experience, in the near future, the price of natural rubber will undoubtedly rise." ”
"Just based on the experience of people in the industry, you decided to hoard natural rubber? Mr. Guan, you are bold enough!"
"Of course not, but we use it as a reference. After I came back, I did a lot of research, checked the price trend and change law of natural rubber in the international market in the past 20 years, and then used mathematical statistical methods to conduct inductive analysis, and the data obtained through theoretical prediction were basically consistent with the curve drawn by historical data. "Guan Yuntian said.
"What happened later? Did the price trend match the forecast? Did the shipment go smoothly?" Driven by curiosity, Chen Xueliang asked.
"It can be said that the twists and turns, thrilling, without a big heart, I am afraid it will be unbearable. Fortunately, the final price trend is basically consistent with the forecast results, we see the good to close, did not wait for the price of natural rubber to rise to the highest, and hurriedly shipped, although we failed to earn the largest price difference, but the business still made us profitable. ”
"Mr. Guan, such a good thing, why don't you continue to do it in the future?"
"I don't think it's good business, I think it's a speculative act, we just did the right thing at the right time, but at least the time and the thing like that won't happen again. So, only that time, after that, Changda Group no longer got involved in that kind of business. "Guan Yuntian said.
"Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, Mr. Guan, how do you know that there won't be that kind of opportunity in the future?"
"Not absolutely, I don't think there will be any more in at least three or five years, because that is determined by the law of price changes in natural rubber in the international market, and after three or five years, we are doing well in the traditional manufacturing field, and we have no leisure to take care of that kind of undoing business. ”
"It seems like a coincidence, but in fact you not only found the best time at the time, but also did a lot of research, and in the process of implementation, you will accept it when you see it, and then not

To be obsessed with that kind of speculation shows your steadiness. Chen Xueliang said.
"Yes, if an enterprise in the physical manufacturing industry spends its energy and resources on speculation, it is not doing its job properly, and it is impossible to do a good job in the enterprise. Guan Yuntian hopes to use his business philosophy to imperceptibly influence these young managers of Changda Group.
If the purpose of conveying the management philosophy of Changda Group to young people by telling the historical events of the company can be achieved, Guan Yuntian believes that it is a good thing.
The first time he listened to the chairman personally tell the past history of Changda Group, Chen Xueliang naturally felt relished, and he continued to ask with interest: "Mr. Guan, listening to the introduction of the leaders of the human resources department, the purpose of Changda Group's first backdoor listing is to get rid of the traditional manufacturing industry and realize the company's industrial upgrading. Could it be that the traditional manufacturing industry operated by the company could not be sustained at that time?"
Guan Yuntian waved his hand and denied: "On the contrary, the traditional industries operated by Changda Group at that time were as hot as the day, otherwise it would be difficult to achieve external mergers and acquisitions and asset packaging and listing." ”
"If the performance is hot, why do you want to leave the traditional industry? Isn't that pushing the money-making business out?" Chen Xueliang felt incomprehensible.
"As a business manager, never forget the ancient adage that 'people have no long-term worries'. The traditional industry of Changda Group did very well at that time, but in the actual work, we also felt that the traditional industry is facing or will face a lot of troubles from multiple levels, through analysis we believe that some of these problems can be solved through their own efforts, and some problems may cause serious harm to the enterprise. Therefore, taking advantage of the booming performance, we decisively decided to withdraw from the traditional industry in a planned and step-by-step manner. ”
"Through external mergers and acquisitions, and then the assets are packaged and listed, and after the release period, the equity held by Changda Group will be realized, so as to quietly withdraw from traditional industries. Mr. Guan, your trick of hiding people's ears and revealing the golden cicada is simply too ingenious!" Chen Xueliang praised.
"Of course, the traditional industry is facing some troubles, which is only one of the reasons why Changda Group has withdrawn from this field, and we have another purpose in doing so, that is, to achieve comprehensive industrial upgrading in Changda Group. "Guan Yuntian said.
"As a private enterprise, it is really commendable to take the initiative to think of industrial upgrading!"
"The situation is compelling, if you want the company to continue to survive and develop, you have to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, take precautions, don't wait until the crisis breaks out, then think of rescue measures, then regret it too late, want to run too late!"
"I don't know what the situation is now?"
"We divest traditional industries, not because we feel that traditional industries cannot continue to operate, on the contrary, in reality, traditional industries are closely related to our daily lives. However, because the traditional industry has the characteristics of low entry threshold, the competition in this field has long been white-hot, and chaos is abundant, in order to standardize the behavior of the industry, the regulatory policy is bound to become more and more stringent. It's not that Changda Group is afraid of competition, nor is it that we avoid supervision, as I said earlier, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is the basic requirement for enterprise managers, and the obstacles that can be avoided.
"However, risk avoidance requires a keen sense of smell if you continue to pass through

What will the traditional industry look like now?"
"It's hard to say what Changda Group will look like now if it continues to operate those traditional industrial projects, but I can give you an example, among those traditional industrial projects, there is a coal-fired power generation project of more than 100,000 kilowatts, which was forced to shut down because of environmental protection policies in the third year after we evacuated. As far as I know, even for projects that are still in operation, due to the tightening of various regulatory policies, the operating costs have also risen sharply in the future, and the profit margins are much smaller now than they were then!"
"Fortunately, those traditional industries were divested in time, otherwise, I don't know how much loss it would have caused to Changda Group!
"It is not too much to lose, although the power generation project was shut down, but we helped the listed company to convert a Chinese patent medicine project in a timely manner, which not only avoided the comprehensive layoff of the power plant workers, but also prevented the substantial decline in the performance of the listed company, so that the company smoothly passed a crisis. ”
"Mr. Guan, since Changda Group has withdrawn from the traditional industry, why do you still have to worry about the past?"
"Hi, Changda Group is not the kind of enterprise that only cares about its own interests, regardless of the life or death of others, although it has divested the traditional manufacturing industry, but also does not want to see the company in trouble, in the case of its ability, can help, never stand idly by. ”
"This is also the reason why Changda Group has an excellent reputation in the society, right?"
Guan Yuntian nodded in agreement, just to play on the topic, "corporate culture and human quality is similar, if a person is selfish and ill-intentioned, he must have no friends, in reality, some people think they are very smart, treat others as fools, and want to take advantage of anyone, once they can't take advantage of it, they feel that they have suffered a loss, no matter how beautiful what he says, people will leave him." The same is true for corporate interactions, the business field pays attention to the brothers and brothers, this is no problem, of course the money should be earned, and the responsibility should not be shirked, if the desire for profit is consumed, other companies will avoid you. ”
In fact, the reputation of an enterprise is in line with the character of the manager, a selfish person, even if his management ability is strong, the enterprise he leads cannot have a healthy corporate culture. On the contrary, a boss with noble character, under his leadership, the enterprise will inevitably be popular and wealthy.
Chen Xueliang may not know the chairman's good intentions, Guan Yuntian believes that as the successor of Changda Group, the ability of operation and management is important, but the excellent character and noble sentiment are more important, and the Changda Group will be handed over to a person of noble character in the future, which is not only reassuring, but also conducive to the long-term development of the enterprise.
In the process of more than half a year of inspection, Chen Xueliang and Xiang Fei, who stood out from many candidates, not only have a higher work ability, but also have a character that has been unanimously recognized by Guan Yuntian, Ye Jiayi and the human resources department of the group company, otherwise, the two of them would not have been able to be focused on.
Guan Yuntian believes that Chen Xueliang and Xiang Fei can stand out, which is also commendable, for such young talents, their good qualities are gratifying, but before the official announcement, in addition to further observation and assessment of them, it is also necessary to give correct guidance, so that their values can be consolidated.
