Chapter 832: Honor Belongs Only to the First
Hu Mingchen directly pointed out the weakness of a listed company.
Many entrepreneurs, one of their big goals is to strive to make their own enterprises can be listed, the company can not only raise the huge funds needed for development, but also maximize the price of the company, so as to maximize the wealth.
However, listed companies also have a big weakness, that is, the company's development strategy and development direction will be greatly affected by the stock price.
In a listed company, no matter what a perfect and great plan, as long as it will drag down the stock price and the returns of shareholders, then the plan is very likely to be stifled, because the most direct consideration of shareholders is their own wealth, and they do not care about the future for a long time in the future.
There are many excellent companies that are forced by the majority of shareholders to do some short-term projects, but give up the huge potential in the future.
In a word, there are only two requirements from shareholders, the first is that the stock price rises, and the second is profitable, as long as these two points can be achieved, then everything else is easy to say, as long as these two points are violated, no matter who you are, they will not be satisfied.
Hu Mingchen can boldly predict that if the Paipai.com they want to do can't make a profit for two years, and the stock price is dragged down, it is unknown whether Ma Jiahao, the chairman, can continue to do it. You must know that the combined equity of Ma Jiahao and his four founders is still less than that of Hu Mingchen.
Although Hu Mingchen had said it so bluntly, and the company's executives, including Ma Jiahao, were also said to be proud, Ma Jiahao still did not say on the spot whether he would continue the plan they had drawn up.
It's no wonder that the plan that people have carefully concocted for months, and the organization of so many people, how could they give up because of Hu Mingchen's words, they must make a thoughtful measurement.
"Xiao Chen, will Ma Jiahao listen to you?" Back at the hotel, Hu Jianqiang asked Hu Mingchen.
Hu Mingchen didn't answer, but looked at Wu Huaisi on the side.
"I think he didn't make a decision so quickly, even though he was a little moved. Wu Huaisi said.
"I'm afraid not, you've already analyzed it very clearly. Hu Jianqiang looked at Wu Huaisi, and then looked at Hu Mingchen and said.
"Third uncle, are you too easily persuaded, I remember that as soon as Luo Ming told me the details, your expression told me, you supported them, why did I say it, you reversed. ”
"I will support whichever side I am reasonable, this is called helping the reason and not helping the relatives. I don't quite understand everything else, but I know one thing, Penguin Technology uses one hand to fight with the whole person of Aniu Company, and it really doesn't have much chance of winning, how can one hand do more than other people's two hands and two feet. Hu Jianqiang said confidently.
"Mr. Hu, but it can be seen that Ma Jiahao and the others are very conceited people, they are not only confident in themselves, but also firm, so they may adjust their strategies, but it is not easy for them to give up their well-thought-out plans all at once. Wu Huaisi said.
"Hehe, I'm afraid, the more I oppose them, the more I want to do it. Hu Mingchen groaned, shook his head with a wry smile.
"The more you oppose them, the more they want to do it? Why? Why do they have trouble with you, and we are not harming them, we are also the largest shareholder of the company, and harming them is harming ourselves. Hu Jianqiang was surprised.
Wu Huaisi was also surprised by Hu Mingchen's statement, he didn't understand where Hu Mingchen's logic was.
"Don't think it's strange, this is actually very simple, it's the conceit that Assistant Wu just said. Ma Jiahao: They don't really want to get along with me, and they don't mean to disagree with us. However, it is because of their conceit, or the great achievements they have made in the past two years, that they ...... How to say it, it's a little floating, and it doesn't seem to be the right way to describe it...... Well, pride makes them very proud, and they feel that in the Internet field, they are the most knowledgeable and powerful. On the other hand, they just want to prove it, prove their ability and vision to show me, so they will say that the more resolutely I oppose it, the more they want to do it. Hu Mingchen explained.
Such an idea was also born when Hu Mingchen left Penguin Technology. Because when shaking hands and saying goodbye, Hu Mingchen saw a wisp of unyielding and firmness in Ma Jiahao's eyes.
Unwilling to admit defeat, not easily give up is an entrepreneur, and even an excellent entrepreneur must have the temperament, an enterprise to achieve success, to develop and grow, this spirit is very necessary, only firm goals, against all odds to persevere, in order to be qualified to appreciate the beauty of the peak. We can condense this spirit into four words: perseverance.
However, there is a not-so-good synonym for perseverance, that is, stubbornness, often a stubborn person, success and failure will be half and half, and even failure will account for more than half in many cases.
Indomitable is a compliment, an obvious compliment. And stubbornness is neutral and derogatory. And their difference is often distinguishable after the fact, if a person sets the right goal, persists desperately, and finally succeeds, that is indomitable, on the contrary, if the setting at the beginning is wrong, desperately persevering, and finally fails, it becomes stubbornness, and even becomes stubborn.
Ma Jiahao: They may just think that they are indomitable and persevere. And this evaluation judgment can't be given now.
"Then what should I do? You can talk to Ma Jiahao alone, and then do his work? You say that this project can only fail if it continues, then we can't watch them fail, and the money lost is ours. Hu Jianqiang took out a cigarette and lit it.
"Let's let them weigh it up for themselves, anyway, there are still a few days left in the holidays, and I'm going to say it now, and the effect may not be good. Assistant Wu, you call them later, and say that they won't go to the company tomorrow, and they won't live in this hotel, and we will go to Pengbo Electronics. Hu Mingchen said.
"Okay, I'll call Mr. Hou in a moment. Wu Huaisi said.
"I thought you were only here for Penguin Technology, not Chen Xuesheng. Hu Jianqiang said.
"When you come to Pengcheng, how can you not go to take a look, if Chen Xuesheng knows that we are here and don't want to take a look, he will probably have ideas. Besides, I also want to go and see how Brother Mingrong is doing. ”
Early the next morning, Hu Mingchen and Fang Guoping came back from exercising in the gym of the hotel, and he was about to call Chen Xuesheng and tell him in advance that he had come to Pengcheng and wanted to go to Pengbo Electronics to have a look. But the phone was taken out, and before it could be dialed, the phone rang first.
As soon as Hu Mingchen looked at the caller ID, he immediately smiled.
"Uncle Chen, we really have a heart, I'm about to call you here. Hu Mingchen said with a smile.
"You're about to call me? Oh, no matter, Xiao Chen, tell you a good news, the first smartphone developed by our company has come out, and I called to tell you the good news." Chen Xuesheng said excitedly on the other end of the phone.
"What? has it been developed?" As soon as he heard the news, Hu Mingchen was suddenly surprised and delighted.
Hu Mingchen hasn't had much contact with Chen Xuesheng and them during this time, but this doesn't mean that he doesn't care about Pengbo Electronics. On the contrary, he was very anxious in his heart.
The reason is simple, because Apple is going to release their first generation of smartphones this year. This is not to say that Pengbo Electronics has to be compared with Apple, to be honest, they can't compare, Apple's investment in research and development funds on this product is ten times that of a thriving company.
However, even if there is a huge disparity in strength, it has to be compared, once Apple's products are released and sold all over the world, then in the field of smart phones, they are the leaders, and the biggest profits and the best reputation will belong to them, even if Pengbo Electronics develops exactly the same product, it will be considered a copycat.
In a word, if you can preempt it for a month, it will be fashionable, and if you are a month late, it will imitate and follow.
Just like the Olympic Games, people will always remember who the champion is, and even if the runner-up is 0.01 seconds late, everyone can't remember it, because the spotlight is always on the champion, and people don't have much interest in the runner-up and third runner-up. For example, if the Chinese know that Xu Haifeng was the first to win the Olympic gold medal, then who is the second one, 99.9 percent of people can't answer this question because they don't know at all.
In the same way, as long as Apple's products are released, then the world's attention will be attracted by it, and consumers all over the world will flock to it.
So when he heard that Pengbo Electronics had developed the first smartphone, Hu Mingchen was naturally pleasantly surprised.
"Yes, it's been developed, you can come and see it. ”
"I'll be here soon, even if you don't call me, I'm coming, in an hour, we'll be there in an hour. ”
"One hour, you will arrive in an hour?" I heard that Hu Mingchen could arrive in an hour, and Chen Xuesheng was victorious.
Coming from Langzhou, no matter whether Hu Mingchen is in Liangcheng or Zhennan, it is impossible to arrive in an hour, even if he has a private jet, after all, it is thousands of kilometers away.
"Yes, an hour, okay, that's all. Hu Mingchen looked very anxious.
"Wait, Xiao Chen, are you in Pengcheng?" Chen Xuesheng was not stupid, his brain was excited, and he immediately thought of the key.
"Yes, that's it, hang up. After Hu Mingchen finished speaking, without waiting for Chen Xuesheng to speak, he hung up the phone, threw the mobile phone on the bed, and hurriedly went to take a shower and change clothes.
After changing his clothes, Hu Mingchen didn't eat breakfast, and called Hu Jianqiang and they hurried to Pengbo Electronics Company.
For Hu Mingchen's convenience in Pengcheng, Hou Yongli arranged a car from Penguin Technology Company for them to use, and was supposed to give them a driver, but Hu Mingchen refused, Fang Guoping was here, and he was the best driver.
