"Director Park, welcome!" Clarion stood at the door of the office and welcomed the guests into the living room.

The selection of the president of the newly established Huaxing Company was somewhat unexpected, and he was transferred from the former vice president of Oriental Commercial Co., Ltd. Ke Lilun. It's not that Ke Lilun is not qualified, just because he is Li Xuan's first secretary, and Li Xuan's self-made status makes him qualified for most positions in the Eastern Bloc.

It's just that the gossip in the Oriental Group has been rumored that he will succeed Bradshaw as the president of the Oriental Commercial Company. Bradshaw was the chairman of the former RCA company, and soon after RCA was acquired by the Eastern Group, it was revealed that there was a serious environmental pollution incident at the RCA plant in Taiwan.

This put Bradshaw under huge pressure of public opinion in the United States at that time, and it was impossible for Li Xuan to cross the river and tear down the bridge, kicking him away, who had just persuaded RCA shareholders to accept the merger of the Eastern Group. At that time, Li Xuan happened to be preparing to transfer RCA's manufacturing capacity to Asia, so Bradshaw simply took the opportunity to leave the whirlpool of public opinion in New York and came to Hong Kong to coordinate the industrial transfer of the entire RCA company as the vice president of the Oriental Group and the president of the Oriental Commercial Company.

As the saying goes, where there is power, there must be struggle, and as a multinational company with tens of thousands of employees and operations all over the world, it is naturally impossible for the Eastern Group to be in harmony. In particular, although the Eastern Bloc is an Asian company, its main business is in Europe and the United States. As Li Xuan continued to open new companies and conduct mergers and acquisitions in Europe and the United States, there was a natural division between Chinese executives and foreign executives.

When the Eastern Bloc annexed RCA. RCA was not much worse than the Eastern Bloc at that time, both in terms of fame and heritage. So Bradshaw instead crossed the **** and others like the then president of Aikang. He became the leader of the Oriental Group of foreign and foreign executives. And Han Peng, as a veteran who started with Li Xuan, has always been the number two person in the Oriental Group. Naturally, it became the leader of the Chinese executives who came out to sing against Bradshaw.

Of course, if Bradshaw hadn't come to Hong Kong from the United States, the two sides might not have been in such a-to-needle rivalry so soon. But Brad Shaw's westward trip to Asia to take on the position of president of the Oriental Commercial Company, which is extremely crucial in the Oriental Group, made Han Peng feel tremendous pressure. Because compared with Bradshaw, Han Peng's biggest shortcoming is his lack of international vision.

As the boss, Li Xuan doesn't mind the management competing with each other, but this kind of fight must be controlled within an acceptable range, and the minimum bottom line is to do the right thing and not the right person. But recently there have been signs of action on both sides. It seems that there has been a write-out of control, and the cause of the incident still has a lot to do with VCD.

Because VCR recorders in the United States have become more popular, VCD does not have much breakthrough in technology compared with video recorders. Therefore, Li Xuan never thought of competing with Japanese manufacturers for the video recorder market from the beginning. Therefore, in the past period, the focus of VCD promotion is East Asia, Southeast Asia, followed by South America, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and other markets where video recorders have not yet begun to be fully popularized.

In the markets of the United States, Europe, the United States and Japan, Li Xuan is ready to use the method of darkness to make VCDs take root and sprout through computer optical drives.

From the very beginning, Li Xuan's VCD plan was fully responsible for Ke Lilun, the vice president of Oriental Commerce. But for Crowillen, the focus at this stage is naturally to promote VCD players in emerging markets where VCRs are not yet popular. As for the promotion of VCDs in Europe, the United States and Japan through computer optical drives. He didn't care about that much for the time being.

This made Han Peng see an opportunity, he did not directly ask the group's Aikang company to cooperate, but first started with Hongji and other third-party computer manufacturers that are close to the Oriental Group, and in his capacity as the president of the Oriental Group, he hopes that these computer manufacturers can increase the promotion of optical drives, so as to increase the VCD playback channels in the United States.

Co Lilun is a former secretary who is trusted by Li Xuan. If he were in charge of the VCD promotion plan, Bradshaw would naturally not interfere at all. But if Han Peng also wants to get involved, this is not something Bradshaw can tolerate. Because in his opinion. Han Peng's hand was too deep, which was a provocation to himself, the president of Oriental Commerce.

As a result, Bradshaw soon became the president of Oriental Commercial as well. invited these computer manufacturers, who have close ties with the Eastern Group, to release news that is completely opposite to Han Peng. For a while, the manufacturers were a little at a loss. But after everyone slowly came back to the senses, they immediately understood that this was an infighting in the Eastern Bloc.

As the saying goes, the ugliness of a family should not be publicized, and the Oriental Group has always been committed to shaping itself into a united, high-spirited emerging company, and the actions of Han Peng and Bradshaw undoubtedly slapped the Oriental Group in the face. As a result, Li Xuan felt that it was no longer appropriate for Bradshaw to continue to serve as the president of Oriental Commercial.

But he didn't just sweep Bradshaw out of the house, this Yankee is still very good at least in terms of ability. Through his maneuvering, RCA has been completely digested by the Eastern Bloc. In less than five years, most of its product lines have been relocated to the mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan-Gulf, which are the iron triangle of the Oriental Bloc industry built by Li Xuan, and there has been no sequelae in the United States.

How difficult the trade unions in the United States are, Li Xuan knows very well. For example, IBM wanted to learn from iKang, shut down its own production lines, and outsource all its personal computer manufacturing to Asian foundries, but was strongly blocked by labor unions and the local government.

So Li Xuan still wanted to use Bradshaw, instead of beating Bradshaw's board, he promoted him to another level, from the vice president of the Oriental Group to the president of the Oriental Group. And Han Peng, who was originally in this position, was also promoted by one level, replacing Li Xuan as the chairman of Oriental Group.

The Eastern Group has swelled to this scale, and Li Xuan has already felt a little powerless, after all, he is not a professional in management, and he is not much interested in administration. What's more, his biggest strength is the reborn golden finger, so he simply stepped down from the post of chairman and put himself on the position of the group's chief strategic development officer. That's the best job for him. As long as he has a good grasp of the direction of the development of the Eastern Group, the specific operational affairs can be handed over to others.

Han Peng was promoted to chairman of the group. is also fully qualified to overpower others. As for Bradshaw, he is actually more suitable than Han Peng to be the president of the Eastern Group. At least his huge connections in the United States can help the Eastern Bloc survive better in the American market.

Moreover, because the Oriental Group has always implemented flat management, the rights of subsidiaries are relatively large, and the role of the group headquarters is mainly reflected in internal coordination and cooperation. Han Peng and Bradshaw are the first and second in command respectively, but it is easier to limit the competition between the two to the headquarters, without having too much impact on the specific operations of the following subsidiaries. What's more, the two of them should have already experienced Li Xuan's dissatisfaction, and they will inevitably restrain themselves in the future, otherwise what awaits them is not sweet dates but butcher knives.

After Bradshaw was transferred from Oriental Commercial Company, most people in the group believed that it must be the vice president of Curillen who must be promoted to president. Corilleur is a true descendant of the boss, and the recent implementation of the VCD plan has been very smooth. At least VCD players in the East and Southeast Asian markets. It has completely replaced the VCR as the mainstream home video player.

But what people didn't expect was that the person who succeeded Bradshaw as the president of Oriental Commercial was He Guoyuan, the former chairman of Oriental System Software Company. In another time and space, He Guoyuan had immigrated to Canada from Hong Kong at this point in time and founded ATI, one of the world's largest graphics card companies.

But because of Li Xuan, He Guoyuan joined the Oriental Group early, and served as the vice president in charge of operational affairs at the beginning, ranking third in command in the Oriental Group after Li Xuan and Han Peng. However, after Li Xuan established the Oriental Software Company, in view of the important position of this company in the entire computer industry of the Oriental Group, he was transferred to the United States to serve as the president of the Oriental Software Company.

Later, the Oriental Software Company split in two. He Guoyuan became the president of the more critical Dongfang System Software Company. Although Dongfang System Software has successively introduced new shareholders such as IBM and Texas Instruments, under the strategic planning of He Guoyuan, Dongfang Group has always firmly controlled the control of this company.

Now, the management of Orient Systems Software. They are all the descendants of He Guoyuan, and they have various behind-the-scenes relationships with the Eastern Bloc. Therefore, Li Xuan felt that he could retire and take on other more important positions. So Ho Kwok-yuen returned to Hong Kong from the United States again. He was appointed President of Oriental Commercial and Vice President of Oriental Group.

He Guoyuan was originally the third-in-command of the Eastern Bloc. Although he has been away from Hong Kong for so many years, he still has a high prestige within the group. And he has held important positions in the United States all these years. He has a close relationship with the group's internal and external executives. Therefore, Li Xuan intends to push him out and become the third force that lubricates Han Peng and Bradshaw.

Orient Trading's VCD program has been successfully launched, and the follow-up work only needs to be replicated in other markets step by step. It no longer makes much sense for Clarion to remain as vice president of Oriental Commercial.

He failed to win the very important position of president of Oriental Commercial, and instead became the president of Huaxing Mobile Communications, a newly established small company, many people in the group felt sorry for him, but Ko Lilun himself was very satisfied. Because as Li Xuan's secretary, he knew the boss's strategic layout better than most people in the company from the beginning.

Despite the fact that Oriental Games is still one of the most profitable companies in the entire Eastern Group, the status and importance of the game business in the entire Eastern Group is declining. In particular, the Oriental Group has now passed the initial period of capital thirst, and no longer needs the support of the strong cash flow of the game industry, and the future game industry can only be regarded as a well-benefited supplementary business in the Oriental Group system at best.

The semiconductor industry has been the focus of investment at Oriental Group, with a small half of the institute working on chip development, as well as semiconductor equipment suppliers like Oriental Semiconductor, the world's largest semiconductor manufacturer, and Lam Research on pursuing technological leadership.

Since the ERM architecture has a monopoly position among desktop-level processors, the MIPS architecture also performs very well in enterprise-class processors. So much so that the Eastern Bloc only needs to develop step by step, and his monopoly in the field of processors will be difficult to control for a long time to come.

Moreover, with the advantages of scale integration and better cost control, Dongfang Semiconductor is launching a strong impact on the memory market controlled by Japanese semiconductor companies. The Fairchild company, which specializes in analog semiconductors, has lagged behind in the continuous investment of technology research and development in the Eastern Group, and there are already signs of rising again.

Therefore, the semiconductor industry will be one of the pillar industries of the Oriental Group in the future, but it is difficult for the management to have any bright spots. In addition, Li Xuan's other large-scale layout area is the burgeoning Internet industry, and he can proudly say that the development of Hong Kong's Internet has been at least three to five years ahead of the world average under his strong promotion.

However, the global Internet industry can only be regarded as a small lotus at best, and it still needs a strong force at the national level to promote the construction of basic network facilities, and there is still a long way to go before large-scale commercialization.

In contrast, in the eyes of ordinary people, Huaxing may be just a small company that has just been established, but Corillun was very clear a few years ago that his boss had huge expectations for the mobile communications industry - computers, the Internet and mobile phones will constitute the information age in 20 years!

With the CDMA network being put into commercial operation in Hong Kong, a new era of mobile communication is slowly opening. Ke Lilun very much hopes that Huaxing Company can become the king of an industry like Aikang Company under his own helm!

The reason why the CDMA network chose Hong Kong as the first promotion location is not only because it is the base camp of the Oriental Group, and Hong Kong Telecom has such a close relationship with the Oriental Group, but also because Hong Kong is a vast and sparsely populated city. In such a small place, more than five million people have lived for a long time, and the income level is not low.

Dense populations can greatly improve the efficiency of mobile communication networks, thereby greatly reducing marginal costs. The same is true for South Korea, which is much larger than Hong Kong, but the capital Seoul alone and the surrounding cities of Incheon and Gyeonggi Province are home to half of the country's population. KMT only needs to complete CDMA signal coverage in Seoul and surrounding areas, so that the CDMA digital mobile network can cover half of South Korea's population. (To be continued.) )
