When Sayahu and the others left, Jing Jian and Miller were left alone in the room. Miller smiled and interceded for Sayahhoo: "Bramble, those researchers are a bit conservative indeed. In fact...... I was equally shocked when I heard your thoughts. But it's more ...... It's like going back to my wedding night. ”

There was a hint of flattery. Jing Jian smiled and nodded in understanding: "It's not that Dr. Sayahhu is conservative, it's that they still underestimate the status of computers. Blue Star Network, PC Direct Sales, Mobile Phones and Game Consoles, in fact, in these four major areas, Yikai can be completely split into four great companies. It's a pity, at least not in the short term. ”

Unlike the future when domestic listed companies can be split again and again and again to make money in the stock market, the split listing in the United States is very troublesome, and it will face layers of obstacles from shareholders and laws. Although due to various coincidences, these four major projects are concentrated in Yikai, but thinking about it, it should also be understood that if they are all listed separately, Jingjian's equity valuation will definitely increase greatly.

Miller certainly understands this, and he jokes with a smile: "It's not like that's not out of the question. The U.S. government forcibly let Yikai break up. ”

There was a burst of laughter in the room.

Miller's words paint a beautiful picture. Only when the Anti-Monopoly Law is touched will it face a forced split. However, by that time, Yi Kai was already in a monopoly position in the four major fields?

However, Jing Jian was not too worried about Yi Kai's side, after all, in the history of his previous life, all of these four major fields had strong opponents, and it was quite difficult to achieve the degree of monopoly. On the contrary, it is the standard? There is a little bit of a concern.

Anyway, it's too early to talk about any hidden concerns, and when he thinks of famous rivals such as AOL, Nintendo, Nokia, Apple, and Dell, Jing Jian thinks of another question: "Miller, I think there should be four independent departments within the company, each responsible for a strategic project. In addition to your PC direct sales, Bluestar is still a team using Iceberg Network for the time being. But the game console and mobile phone projects need two full-time vice presidents. ”

It is itself preparing for the tiger's mouth, and the intensity of competition in the future can be expected. If you can't focus, you're going to have a bad future. Although it is impossible to split Yikai at present, it can set up four independent accounting departments internally.

Miller immediately understood what Jing Jian meant, although he might have divided some of his power, but ...... Actually, the impact is really not too big.

Bluestar itself has a mature team, and it was merged into Yikai by a listed company, and even the departmental structure is quite complete, and Miller couldn't intervene in the first place. And the game console and mobile phone departments? At present, the core department of Yikai is only PC direct sales, which is actually equivalent to the vast majority of Miller's management company. And if the mobile phone project and the game console project are successful, even if Miller, as the chairman, is named, isn't it still the first credit?

So after a few seconds of silence, Miller nodded and agreed: "No problem, I will immediately arrange for the headhunter to find someone." ”

After talking about the company's structure, the topic shifted to management: "The U.S. plant will maintain its current size, no longer invest in expansion, and will gradually move to lower-cost regions in the future." The new production base in Europe is located in Eastern Europe, and the specific country is up to you to investigate. All production sites in Asia were transferred to China. In particular, China will be the focus in the future, where there are quite cheap labor costs and an excellent investment environment. ”

"China, not Taiwan?" said Miller, feeling a little strange. At present, the production base of Yikai Asia is located in Taiwan, where there is a very mature supporting industry, and the labor is still quite cheap (in the eyes of the Americans), especially the existing network, if all of it is transferred to China at once, it is quite risky.

Jing Jian doesn't need to explain much about such questions, as long as he is arbitrary. When investing in China, Miller will discover the wonders of the world's factory. And PC direct sales itself is fighting for costs, even if Taiwan's labor costs are cheaper, can they fight Chinese mainland at that time?

......

Having solved the internal problems, it is now necessary to quickly solve the problem of cooperation with Philips. Jing Jian himself doesn't have that much time, and Yi Kai can't afford to spend time either, and the opportunities for the mobile phone and game console industries are fleeting.

Philips, as a century-old company founded in the Netherlands, mainly produces products in lighting, home appliances, and medical systems, and Philips has developed into a large multinational company with a global reputation.

Without going into detail about the glorious history of this company, let's talk about the development of Philips around the nineties of the twentieth century.

In the 70s and 80s, Philips saw exciting new products and concepts emerging. Not to mention the energy-saving lamp, especially the Philips research laboratory has also made breakthroughs in the processing, storage and transmission of images, sounds and data, resulting in the invention of laser discs, laser turntables and optical telecommunication systems.

Later, Philips simply founded PolyGram, which was a huge success in music recording and became one of the world's top five record industry giants. If there are those post-70s generations who like music, they should remember how star-studded PolyGram Hong Kong was back then, right?

In the 80s, Philips ushered in a new technological milestone: the introduction of compressed discs. And in the mid-90s, in cooperation with Sony, another innovative product, the DVD, became the fastest growing home appliance in Philips' history.

However, at this time, Philips and Sony coincidentally fell into a misunderstanding - too much pursuit of perfect technology on DVD.

Since the DVD adopts the MPEG-2 technical standard, the definition has reached 500 lines. Secondly, from the perspective of audio effects, DVD can provide 2 stereo channels and 1 5+1 Dolby AC-3 surround sound channel, which can provide high-quality surround sound. That is, a comprehensive overtake of videotapes. Therefore, Philips and Sony, which have huge profits in the audio and video tape market, have to wait until the DVD technology is fully mature before gradually introducing it to the market.

However, at this time, Philips and Sony did not foresee the broad prospects of the optical disc market, and did not know the huge demand in emerging markets such as China and Eastern Europe.

On the contrary, Jing Jian knew that - VCD. It only uses the MPEG-1 decoding technology standard, and the resolution is about 250 lines, which is only equivalent to the level of ordinary video recorders. However, driven by pirated CDs, it quickly swept across the entire land of China and created one miracle after another.
