293 Progress in television services
"Haha, Lao He, happy newlywed!" Xu Zhi hurriedly stood up and greeted with a smile: "How is it in Europe?
He Guoyuan said with a smile: "Thank you, chairman, I have played in Europe again, and I have played everything that should be played, and it is almost time to put my mind into work!"
"Okay, sit down. Xu Zhi smiled and said, He Guoyuan suddenly proposed to get married last month, and Xu Zhi was also taken aback, you must know that this guy has always been in the state of the fifth king of diamonds in the later life.
In this life, because of the appearance of Xu Zhi, He Guoyuan's life trajectory has changed, although he will not start a business again, but he is already the CEO of one of the world's largest electronics companies at a young age, and his life has basically reached its peak.
However, the time was unfortunate, when He Guoyuan got married, Xu Zhi, the chairman, had already made arrangements to go to the mainland, and he couldn't attend the wedding, so he sent them a January trip to Europe, and all the expenses were reimbursed by the company.
After He Guoyuan sat down, Xu Zhi opened the drawer, took out a key and said, "This is for you!"
He Guoyuan took the key and seemed to understand a little, but still asked, "Chairman, what is this?"
Xu Zhi smiled: "This is the key to a 1,500-square-foot mansion in Taikoo Shing, I know you are not short of this money, but this is my heart, take it!"
"Thank you, Chairman. He Guoyuan was not hypocritical, and thanked with a smile.
"Work hard in the future and manage the company well. Xu Zhi smiled and said, He Guo was originally the head of Midea Electronics Company, and his annual salary was as high as 3 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not low among many large listed companies in Xiangjiang, but in fact, it is far worse than the position of overseas companies of the same level.
You must know that in the original history, He Guoyuan served as the general manager of Xiangjiang Wang's Electronics Company, and when he left Xiangjiang to immigrate to Canada in 83, his annual salary was already 500,000 US dollars, and Wang's Electronics at that time was only an electronics company with a market value of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
The houses in Taikoo Shing were basically sold out by the end of the 70s, and Xu Zhi once bought two buildings, both of which have now become scarce resources.
At present, the price of Taikoo Shing has exceeded HK$1,000 a foot, and the current market price of a 1,500-square-foot mansion is about HK$1.8 million, but this is actually only a drop in the bucket compared with He Guoyuan's contribution to the creation of beauty.
Xu Zhi handed over Fortune magazine and said, "Look at this information. ”
"Fortune magazine!" He Guoyuan took it and smiled when he saw the cover, opened it again and looked at it carefully.
"What do you think of the writing?" After a while, He Guoyuan seemed to be almost finished, Xu Zhi asked.
He Guoyuan said: "Regarding the situation of Midea's company, although this newspaper is not entirely right, it is also inseparable, these reporters are really powerful, this kind of information can be checked so clearly." ”
"There are no absolute secrets in this world, and we can't hide the data from the customs. Xu Zhi smiled and said, even if the data of Midea is strictly confidential, whether it is exported or imported, it will leave traces in the country's customs, although theoretically the customs must also be kept secret, but it is just a theory!
Based on the scale of imports and exports and experts in the same industry, these reporters can easily deduce the approximate size, profits, and so on of a company.
Xu Zhi said: "Some of the issues raised by "Fortune" still need to be paid more attention to, let's just say that this TV business, at present, is still losing about one million dollars every month, this is really not much profit compared to the game, but we must pay extra attention to it, such a large-scale business, if it does not return to normal as soon as possible, it is always a big hidden danger. ”
RCA's original TV business had annual sales of up to $2 billion, but the scale of Wanwan was reduced by at least 30% after the incident, in order to stabilize the market, the original RCA company Bled found several suppliers at a price higher than the market price, and with a certain promotion, it was hard to maintain the original market share.
The market stabilized, but there was a loss in terms of profits, but this measure is correct, this is not the market shrinkage caused by product quality, but an accident, and it is better to lose money than to keep the share.
After taking over the RCA TV business, Midea must also undertake the contract signed by Brad, maintain the OEM order, and keep the market at a loss, after all, you can earn back the money after losing money, but if the market shrinks, it also represents the disappearance of sales channels, which will be more expensive if you want to recover in the future.
He Guoyuan said: "The company's negotiations with Shenhai City are basically over, and the factory has already started to be built, and we have found the local engineering department to build the plant 24 hours a day, and strive to complete it within six months." ”
"That's good, it's good to count on this factory to reduce costs, is the employee recruitment in place?" asked Xu Zhi.
He Guoyuan said: "The first batch of employees has been in place, and the middle-level management is all college students mobilized from the Shekou fan factory.
"200 people should be enough for the first batch, but you have to put pressure on Deep Sea City to solve this problem in the future. Xu Zhi smiled and said that when he invested in the electric fan factory in Shekou Industrial Zone two years ago, he negotiated with Secretary Zhang of Shenhai at that time to mobilize 200 college students from universities in eastern Guangdong Province to focus on training within the company for the future.
And now that the TV factory project has started, these people immediately have a place to use, and they not only understand the domestic situation, but also go to Xiangjiang and even European and American countries many times, and their vision is much higher.
However, 200 people is not enough for a large factory with tens of thousands of employees, and a large number of highly educated people from the mainland will need to be mobilized to hold important positions.
He Guoyuan said with a smile: "This is no longer a problem, Shenhai City has made a promise, and they can solve it as much as we want." ”
"So smooth?" Xu Zhi asked, it took him a lot of effort to get 200 places.
He Guoyuan said: "This is actually a trick of Xu Sheng, 200 college students in the electric fan factory in Shekou Industrial Zone not only get foreign exchange salaries, but also have the opportunity to go abroad, these deeds are transmitted back to their schools, plus some guarantees from Shenhai City, I don't know how many college students rush to enter our company." ”
"That's good. Xu Zhi nodded and smiled. Come to think of it, Midea is now no more famous in China than it was two years ago, and students are the most receptive group to the open policy, while now college students in the mainland are crazy obsessed with being able to go abroad, and Midea is obviously able to provide such an opportunity.
