Chapter 182: This Goal Is Too High?
Soon, Hongxin Company released a rumor that it was discussing cooperation with Thunderstorm Appliances, and wanted to invest in Thunderstorm Appliances and enter the field of smart home appliances.
Just a rumor has been noticed by many well-intentioned people.
Well, it is possible that their company has indeed been making intelligent products. ”
"Thunderstorm appliances? This company seems to be so-so. Is Hongxin trying to buy them?"
"Hongxin Company has not been listed, but Leiyu Appliances is a listed company. Hongxin company has developed to the present, almost what is done, and the strength is strong. In this way, this company has a future! It can be invested!" In the capital market, some investors with a keen sense of smell smelled the smell.
However, this news is just a rumor, Hongxin Company has not officially stated this matter, and this matter is only an intention, not implemented. But some people know through relationships that this matter is indeed being discussed.
Immediately, those investors took their eyes on the stock of Thunderstorm Appliances. Now buy the stock of thunderstorm household appliances, if it is really Hongxin invested in this company, wouldn't it rise sharply after that, and then take the opportunity to make a profit?
There are not a few people who have this kind of thinking.
When the stock exchange holiday ended in a few days during the Spring Festival, people suddenly found that the stock of thunderstorm household appliances suddenly became a hot stock, and the price rose amazingly.
And those shareholders of Thunderstorm Household Appliances Company found that the shares they held in their hands suddenly became valuable!
And all this is just because of a rumor released by Hongxin Company! If Hongxin really takes a stake in them, then the value of these stocks will skyrocket!
Even though they were to transfer part of their shares to Hongxin under the acquisition agreement, the value of the remaining shares was much greater than before.
At this moment, these shareholders are moved. didn't even need Su Xu to say it, he took the initiative to ask about it one by one, and even wanted to promote it.
And Nie Guanglin, who has been hesitant, also sensed everyone's wishes. If he objected, no one would agree.
Fortunately, he took advantage of the situation, and the first meeting of the thunderstorm company after the Spring Festival holiday was to discuss this matter.
There were almost no obstacles, and everyone unanimously agreed to transfer part of the shares and let Hongxin become the owner of Leiyu Household Appliances Company.
Lu Zixin handed over these things to Su Zhirong to be responsible.
After the agreement between the two parties was reached, Su Xu, Lu Zixin's father-in-law, naturally became the new CEO of Leiyu Household Appliances, the original Nie Guanglin, as the vice president, in charge of the business of traditional household appliances.
The management of the company has also joined some of the former employees of Hongxin Group. At the first meeting of the management of the new company, Lu Zixin also attended.
There are more than 20 people here, most of whom are old employees of the original thunderstorm household appliances, and they are the first time to meet the helmsman of Hongxin Group, Lu Yan.
Seeing the legendary Lu Yan so young, everyone was a little surprised in their hearts.
Lu Zixin briefly introduced himself and began to talk about the company's key development issues.
"Many people should be very puzzled, why did Hongxin acquire Thunderstorm Appliances?
"No, it's not. To be honest, in the field of home appliances, the potential of thunderstorm appliances is not excellent. The reason why Hongxin made this decision is because he saw a group of people with forward-looking vision in the thunderstorm appliances. For example, the current CEO, Mr. Su, and some employees. ”
"Smart home is the general trend of the future! The future development direction of our thunderstorm household appliances is smart home! Whether it is air conditioning, washing machines, televisions, microwave ovens and other household appliances, we must strive to be intelligent. ”
"It can even be made into a perfect smart home system, so that smart services can live. Let Thunderstorm Appliances become an internationally renowned brand!"
Hearing him say this, many people are still a little confused. Some of them, although they understand smart home, are still not very professional in this field.
The biggest problem of thunderstorm appliances is that they do not have their own research and development capabilities. Many of their core technologies come from the licensing cooperation of other channels, and there has been no achievement in the research and development of a smart speaker for two years.
"Do you have anything to say?" Lu Zixin asked when he saw that everyone was a little incomprehensible.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say. simply looked at Nie Guanglin, and Nie Guanglin also asked on behalf of everyone: "Mr. Lu, the direction you said is very reasonable, but I want to ask according to the actual situation." ”
"You say. Lu Zixin said.
Nie Guanglin said: "Our company now has almost no core technology of its own, and it has cost a lot of money just to research ordinary household appliances, and there is no extra money and technical strength to invest in research and development." ”
"You mentioned that Leiyu Appliances has become an internationally renowned brand, so I would like to mention Geli Electric Appliances Co., Ltd. here. ”
Nie Guanglin said, looking at the data on his laptop.
"In the field of home appliances, they should be regarded as domestic giants, and they also have a certain reputation in the world. ”
According to the data released last year, they have more than 10,000 scientific researchers, two national technology research centers, one national industrial design center, one provincial enterprise key laboratory, nine research institutes, 52 research institutes and more than 700 laboratories...... In addition, they also have the world's largest air-conditioning R&D center, and the only national energy-saving and environmentally-friendly refrigeration equipment engineering technology research center in the refrigeration industry in China. ”
"They have invested more than 4 billion yuan in research and development a year! It is almost equivalent to the total market value of our thunderstorm household appliance company half a month ago!"
"Compared with them, our company's R&D strength is almost zero, and R&D funds are also stretched, and these ambitious goals are a bit too far for me. ”
His words basically represent the views of some old employees in the company. Although Hongxin became the owner of Thunderstorm Company and made them earn money on stocks, many people still hold conservative ideas in terms of internal business philosophy.
Lu Zixin smiled and said, "It seems that everyone still doesn't know much about the strength of our red letter, let me tell you something practical." ”
"We don't do smart home for fun, but for real knives and guns. ”
"This year, we plan to invest an additional 5 billion yuan, all of which will be used for research and development!"
As soon as Lu Zixin opened his mouth, it was five billion, which scared everyone. An additional investment of $5 billion would certainly dilute their stake to a smaller size, but the real value would increase.
"Is there really five billion?" Nie Guanglin asked in surprise.
"If 5 billion is not enough, we can continue to add funds. Lu Zixin said calmly, anyway, in this way, the company will almost become his, and he will not feel distressed when he invests in research and development.
