Chapter 665
"Li Shu-Ji, on behalf of the Oriental Group, I would like to express my gratitude to the Capital Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government for their strong support, as a descendant of Yan and Huang, I am very happy that the Chinese headquarters of the Oriental Group can be settled in Beijing, the thousand-year-old capital! With the acceleration of global economic integration, a new round of international industrial division of labor is brewing, and China, as one of the most important emerging economies in the world, will contribute more and more important forces to the world's economic growth!
At the same time, we also hope that more young people in China can strengthen exchanges with the whole world through the medium of the Oriental Bloc, realize their own life value and social value, and contribute to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
Li Xuan and the senior officials of the capital city talked eloquently, and the camera on the side faithfully recorded the whole process of the warm and friendly exchanges between the two sides, and it is likely that it will appear in the local news of the capital station in the form of news in the evening.
After more than 10 years of development, the Oriental Group has grown into a very large comprehensive group involving many fields. According to the structure originally set by Li Xuan, Oriental Group has been actively promoting flat management and delegating a large number of rights to various subsidiaries.
The headquarters of the Oriental Group in Hong Kong is mainly responsible for communicating and coordinating the relationship between various subsidiaries, rather than the leadership relationship between superiors and subordinates. Li Xuan has never set up a regional branch outside Hong Kong under the name of the Oriental Group. The overall coordination of Oriental Group in overseas markets is usually achieved through Oriental Trading, the group's main procurement, marketing and logistics platform!
The China headquarters of the Oriental Group, which Li Xuan just mentioned in his conversation with the leaders and leaders of the Capital City, will also become the first regional headquarters to shoulder the overall management function of the group in addition to the Hong Kong headquarters. The reason why Li Xuan wants to set up a special Chinese headquarters is also because of the particularity of the Chinese market.
On the one hand, China is an emerging market that is not yet mature but is changing with each passing day, and this is a unique sample that has never appeared in the economic history of the West, and there is no old precedent to follow! Since its establishment, the Eastern Group has mainly relied on huge overseas markets to achieve leapfrog development, and many important subsidiaries have also set up headquarters directly in Europe and the United States.
For example, ICON is headquartered in London, RCA is headquartered in New York, CG is headquartered in San Francisco, and so on. The executives of these companies have no better understanding and judgment of the Chinese market than the management of other European and American multinational companies. Later generations have proved that it is precisely because of their unfamiliarity with the Chinese market that European and American companies are always one beat slower than their counterparts in Japan and South Korea, or even several beats!
Such a backward decision-making will undoubtedly lose many opportunities for China's ever-changing market! Rather than letting those executives of subsidiaries who do not know China make decisions blindly, it is better to set up a special group branch in China to directly coordinate decision-making!
On the other hand, don't look at Li Xuan's high-sounding statement that he is a descendant of Yan and Huang, but in the eyes of the top decision-makers in China, the Oriental Group is a foreign-funded enterprise like other European and American companies! Many people may feel that it is more convenient to wear the hat of foreign capital, because in many respects they can enjoy super-national treatment.
But even if the Eastern Bloc does not have supra-national treatment, it can still call the tide in the global market. On the contrary, many restrictions on foreign-funded enterprises in China will become a constraint for the Eastern Group to take root in the mainland.
To a certain extent, the development of business is actually closely related to politics. Huawei's experience in later generations is the most typical example, its huge lead in 5G has threatened the national fortunes of the United States!
In contrast, although the Eastern Bloc has a greater technological lead and a higher degree of monopoly than Huawei in another time and space, its temporary situation is much better! This is mainly because the personal computer has only been born for more than a decade, and its impact on people's production and life is far less terrifying than that of the Internet era in later generations.
What's more, Li Xuan has made large-scale investments in American politics before a rainy day, weaving a huge network of common interests for himself. But even so, the Eastern Bloc will also be excluded when it comes to many projects of the military, the government!
And Li Xuan also understands that with the advent of the information age, the role of chips and computers is getting bigger and bigger, and the peeping and pressure on the Eastern Group will also increase, and he still needs a backer in the end. Originally, he could choose to immigrate to the United States, and with the foundation he had laid in American politics, self-preservation was not a problem at all.
However, Li Xuan has chosen a more difficult path, and in addition to facing the increasing pressure from the United States, this road also has to win the trust of the domestic side! In order to avoid such a funny thing as "I would have liked to light the moon in my heart, and why should the moon shine on the ditch" in the future, Li Xuan needs to start cultivating new appointments with the domestic side now, and gain acceptance and recognition through the persistent practical actions of the Eastern Bloc!
The establishment of a separate headquarters of the Oriental Group in China is also a direct intervention with Li Xuan in the development plan of the Oriental Group in China!
Li Xuan's selection of the first head of the China headquarters of the Oriental Group is his former secretary, Ke Lilun, who is now the president of Huaxing Technology Company. Originally, Li Xuan was going to let Clair stay in Huaxing for a few more years, the company responsible for promoting CDMA mobile communication technology around the world, and will be the core company of the Oriental Group in the next 30 years.
In the era of personal computers, although the Eastern Bloc achieved a certain degree of technological monopoly, it was actually achieved through the monopoly of the central processing unit and operating system. In recent years, as the global PC industry has become more and more competitive, the share of the global PC market has been slowly declining, and the profit margin has been decreasing.
This makes some small and medium-sized shareholders feel like they are working for Oriental Research Institute and Oriental System Software Company. The dissatisfaction of the shareholders has also put the management of Aikang under a lot of pressure. You must know that the reason why the personal computer industry is so competitive is naturally related to the fact that Aikang Company originally released the complete information of ABC series computers, which made compatible computers popular!
In contrast, in the future mobile Internet era, Huaxing Technology will be able to achieve a much higher degree of monopoly than Aikang in the computer field! You must know that CDMA's mobile phone business network has been successfully put into operation in Hong Kong, South Korea, the United States, and France, and is also under intense construction in the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, and Canada, and is expected to be put into use within six months to one year.
And its competitor, GSM Network, is still in the technical testing stage, and is facing the embarrassing situation of falling behind when it first came out!
