Chapter 245: The First Family (4)
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Gao Shi continued: "Now that everyone in our family is basically working, I ask everyone to be conscientious in their own positions, work hard, and do their own work well. What do you think?"
Liu Weizheng said: "This method is good, but we now have our own things, and we don't all work in Qingdao, so it is not easy to gather all of them, so I suggest that when we want to hold a family meeting, we should first explain the things to be discussed, and then one representative from each family will come to the meeting." β
Han Yu said: "Matters should still be divided into two categories, one is a major emergency, which requires everyone to participate in the discussion, and the other is a general major event, which can be attended by representatives. β
Gao Shixuan said: "I think there should be a clear stipulation on the conditions for requiring family meetings, otherwise there is always a scope for what is qualified to hold a family meeting and what is not qualified to hold a family meeting. β
Liu Kuohai said: "If you don't set up a family committee or something, if you want to hold a family meeting, apply first, and then the committee will review the level of the family meeting, and inform others, now that we are such a big family, there are a lot of things in this mess, and someone must come to greet it." β
Gao Shizuo shook his head and said: "Of course, it would be good if a family committee could be established, but how to determine the members of the family committee, whether they send one family or everyone to run, and whether the members of the family committee are full-time or part-time? β
Everyone discussed and spoke, but Gao Shize's head was a little sweaty, because the direction of the discussion had deviated from his expectations, Gao Shize gathered everyone this time, mainly not to discuss the issue of any family meeting, so he knew that presiding over the meeting was indeed not an easy thing, but he Bi Jing had 2 years of experience in the Executive Yuan, and he still had a certain adaptability, and immediately said: " The issue of setting up a family committee is too complicated to be discussed in a short period of time, so let's discuss it here today, and I suggest that everyone can go back and seriously consider it, and not only raise the problem, but also find a way to solve the problem, and let's choose another time to discuss it. But I have one more thing to discuss with you, and that's a big deal. β
When the others heard this, they all stopped discussing, and Liu Weizheng said: "Brother Shize, what is the matter, let's talk about it." β
Gao Shi said: "That's the case, although the adults in our family have jobs, but either in government agencies, or in factories, the direction of development is too single, as the saying goes, you can't put your eggs in one basket, I think someone in our family should come out to do business." β
When everyone heard this, they were also a little surprised, Liu Chenghe said: "Shize, how did you think of doing business." β
Gao Shi said: "There are many people in our family, which is a good thing, but to a certain extent, it is also a bad thing, because whether it is in the government or in the factory, there will not be more than one person in our family to occupy a high position, and there must be a large number of people who can only mix in a mediocre position, so we should develop in more directions, so that everyone has a bright future, and doing business is a good way out." In addition, if someone in our family wants to develop in the government, they often need a lot of financial support, of course, I am not talking about bribery, but to attract investment or public welfare, which is far from enough to rely on our salary, only through business can solve a large number of sources of funds. β
Others also nodded frequently, investment promotion, public welfare undertakings are often one of the important achievements of government officials, so if an official and some large enterprises maintain a good relationship, of course, it is a great help, and enterprises can also through officials, within the scope of national policies, such as tax reduction, land grants, subsidies and other preferential conditions, so even if the two sides come and go, completely go on business, do not engage in private transactions, can also achieve a win-win situation.
Gao Shi said: "Now our government also supports the personal entrepreneurship of the traverser, I know that there are many traversers in order to solve the problem of lack of funds and manpower, and partner with each other to start a business, such as the wife of Yang Yuxin, the person in charge of the Shanghai New District, is ready to open a clothing company, and he found 4 traversers to join the shares, so as to get together the start-up capital, and our family has a lot of people, and the funds can also be made together, as a shareholding, there is no need to bother and work hard like others to start a business." And now is a good opportunity?"
Gao Shijie said: "Big brother, what is the opportunity." β
Gao Shi said: "The government has purchased a full set of technology for automobiles from the German Mercedes-Benz company and Daimer company, but at present the government does not have enough funds to invest in the construction of factories. And our family is different, first of all, there are many people in our family, we should be able to make a lot of money together, it should be completely enough to start this project, and we can also guarantee a certain amount of additional investment every year, and our family is a crosser, it must be more reliable than the locals, so I think if our family comes forward and opens a joint venture with the government to open a car company, it should not be too much of a problem. If our family can win this project this time, then we will be the future of China's Mercedes-Benz, China's Volkswagen, and China's Citroen! β
This remark also made everyone's blood boil, just the future of China Mercedes-Benz, it is enough to make people start a beautiful imagination.
Liu Weizheng immediately said: "I support Shi Zege's suggestion, starting a car company is not only a matter of interests, but also the company's board of directors can also serve as a family meeting, which is completely a matter of killing two birds with one stone." β
Gao Shijie said: " I don't object to the establishment of a car company, but whether it can become China's Mercedes-Benz company is still a very distant thing, but the investment in the car company is probably not small, whether our family can support it, our family can make up more than 100,000 silver dollars at most, and then at most every year will be able to add about 10,000 silver dollars, it seems to be a lot, but to engage in a car company is probably not enough, and how long does it take to have a profit, if there is no income, our family will not be able to support it first, then our family in the government is discredited, and there will never be a day to come out in the futureγ β
Gao Shizuo said: "I don't agree with the second brother's opinion, everything is risky, if you are afraid of risks, then you can't do anything, these years are to support the bold, starve to death the timid, what are you afraid of? β
Everyone else also spoke, but most people supported Gao Shizuo, after all, the future of China's Mercedes-Benz is indeed a huge attraction.
At this time, Gao Shi said: "Second, your worries are also reasonable, but I still have some understanding of the cars of this era, first of all, it does not require much investment to invest in the automobile industry, at this time, whether it is Mercedes-Benz or Daim, in fact, they are small factories, Mercedes-Benz only sold a total of 125 cars in 1894, how big can it be? Therefore, there are hundreds of thousands of upfront investment, plus 1 per year, The additional investment of 20,000 yuan is completely sufficient, we are not the government, there is no need to eat a fat man in one bite, how much money can be done? Start from a small factory, step by step bigger and stronger, isn't this how the Mercedes-Benz company in the old time and space has grown into a giant in the industry?"
"As for the issue of return on investment, in fact, the time required is not too long, because now Mercedes-Benz, Daim has already produced finished cars in batches, so I estimate that in two years at most, we will also be able to produce cars that can be sold, if fast, maybe just over a year is enough, although compared with the cars of our time, the current cars are still very primitive, but they are indeed usable, and the price is not high, about 2000 German marks, which is converted into silver dollars that is 4000-5000 silver dollars, I think this price can be afforded by most traversers, even if only 1000 traversers buy cars, plus government purchases, and the locals who are driven by usAs long as you guarantee to buy 200 cars a year, the operating income can reach about 1 million silver dollars, so the profits can be absolutely guaranteed. Of course, it can't be said that there is no risk at all, but I think it is definitely worth fighting. β
Listening to Gao Shize's words, the people who were a little hesitant just now finally made up their minds, after all, this temptation is still very huge, and Gao Shize turned to the four old people and said, "Dad, what do you old people think?"
Gao Shunxiang nodded and said, "This is a good thing, I support you, if you want to raise money, it will be our share, and we don't want shares, it should be for you to help." β
Liu Chenghe also said: "Yes, this is the right thing to do, let's start our own business and build a car, you all have to fight for a breath, you must do a good job for me, Lao Gao's opinion is my opinion, and I will pay for it, and when you really build a car, our brothers will be the first to sit." β
Seeing that the two old men agreed to his suggestion, Gao Shize also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally gave the matter to a conclusion.
