Chapter 207: How Much Money Do I Have? (1)
"Xiao Heng, is it really good to watch them arrange our relationship like this?" In the office of the chairman of Daheng Group, Xia Di put down the "Industrial and Commercial Daily" published this morning, looking happy and worried.
"Sister Xia Di, you don't want to be my fiancΓ©e? Of course, you are about to become the chairman of the board of directors of a listed company, and it is understandable that you look down on me, a small estate citizen of Lam Tin Estate, I can understand and accept it calmly. β
Zhang Heng held back a smile and ridiculed, "However, don't regret it, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the poor young man! I, Zhang Heng, am a man destined to break through the sky in the future!"
"Xiao Heng!" Xia Di blushed aggrievedly, and water was about to flow from his eyes.
"Okay, it's me who is not good, I won't joke with you anymore. However, they are right, although the child daughter-in-law is not so good-sounding, but the fact is that we don't care, so what's the use of a few gossips from outsiders! Besides, the "Industrial and Commercial Daily" is a friendly army, and Mr. He has also greeted him, so let them be our mouthpiece of public opinion. β
Zhang Heng got up and helped her sit on the sofa and looked at her gently.
"After the reorganization of the board of directors of crocodile shirts, the factory and stores will also be reorganized, and Jiexi has hired a very professional team, including local and European and American experts, you can listen to their opinions, but the final decision must be made by yourself!
By the way, the Li Xiaomeng we saw last time we went to Lane Crawford, you see if you can recruit her, she may still be a little immature as a store manager, but the assistant manager should be barely competent, young people always have to exercise to grow, you can give her a chance. β
"Okay, I will listen to the suggestions and choose the best, and I will also give that little girl a chance to try, I, the chairman of the board of directors, was not just a woman in Lam Tin Estate a year ago. β
Xia Di smiled and nodded, glancing at him meaningfully, and then a trace of worry appeared on his face.
"On your side, you just bought crocodile shirts, and the iron ore in Australia will then invest a lot of money, this time to Europe, is the money enough?"
"I don't have to pay a penny on the Australian side, they will have full authority to share it for me, as for the funds needed for this European acquisition," Zhang Heng spread his hands helplessly, "To be honest, I don't know how much money I have now?"
Half an hour later, Lu Yuanteng, CEO of the group, He Jie, chief administrative officer, Yun Juan, deputy director of finance, and Zhang Heng held a small meeting in the office, just to solve Zhang Heng's question of "how much money do I have".
Yun Juan is nearly 40 years old, with a background in accounting, and after working for a few years, she was admitted to the British Certified Public Accountant (CPA), and is now a member of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the former accounting executive of the listed company Anderson, who joined Daheng Group last month.
The theme of this meeting is the financial situation, she is naturally the main force of the report, first of all, to give each person a thick information, the above is the revenue overview of each branch of Daheng Group from January to August 73.
Daheng Printing Paper, eight-month net income (revenue minus costs) of 49.372 million Hong Kong dollars, capital accumulation of 1.609 million Hong Kong dollars, and 8.5 million Hong Kong dollars in the account - good revenue, poor capital.
Seeing the evaluation circled with a red pen behind the first item, Zhang Heng touched his chin and smiled bitterly, Daheng Printing Paper adopts the agent model, and the amount of the account is the deposit of agents around the country, and the advance payment and deposit paid by these customers were misappropriated by themselves at the beginning of the year, and the financial situation can indeed be said to be bad.
"How can there be a net income of nearly 50 million in eight months?" Xia Di exclaimed in surprise, Zhang Heng glanced at her, secretly satisfied, this question I also want to ask, I haven't paid attention to this start-up industry for a long time.
Lu Yuanteng smiled: "I'll report this." β
Since Zhou Yarin served as the president of Daheng Printing Paper in June, he immediately set off a "bloody storm" inside Daheng Printing Paper, well, that is the picture of Zhang Heng's brain, in Lu Yuanteng's words, it is to clean up and rebuild, specifically:
Cancel the practice of dividing business groups according to product categories, take the region as the core, establish a regional sales department, and the department manager competes for posts, and there are only two assessment indicators, sales and payment!
For a while, there were many griefs and complaints, but Zhou Yalin was hard-hearted and unwavering.
In the past two months, Lu Yuanteng has received a lot of complaints and small reports, but he has put them all away, and he did not go to Zhou Yarin to ask, but just kept silently concerned.
After just half a month of violent turmoil, Daheng Printing Paper quickly established nine regional sales departments in the port (Xiangjiang, Haojiang, Wanwan, Mainland), Japan, Southeast Asia, the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, Western Europe, North America, South America, Australia, the Middle East and Africa.
After a month of fighting, the heads of various departments took office at the end of July, and the salesmen were all in place, and the number of agents under the major regions has also increased, and the product coverage area has also increased.
In August, sales doubled compared to July.
When Lu Yuanteng said this, Zhang Heng interjected: "Yuanteng, I have a problem, what's going on with the mainland, the Soviet Union and Africa?"
"Zhang Dong didn't expect it, I was also taken aback when I first heard about it. Lu Yuanteng said with a smile.
The fact is indeed surprising, and the mainland market, which is still basically closed, has even appeared in the presence of a poster, and the reason is that a certain agency in Hong Kong is stationed in Hong Kong.
This high-level organization under the cover of the media naturally has a large number of office personnel, who are the first batch of users of newspaper posts in the mainland, and they like to report news posts and bring them back to the mainland as small gifts, thus attracting the attention of the internal office staff of many large office agencies in China.
Soon, the China Resources Company in Hong Kong sent people to the door, asking for the agency right to report the post in the mainland, and Zhou Yalin signed an agency agreement with the other party at a price close to guaranteed capital, which also caused the dissatisfaction of several company veterans, and finally Lu Yuan stepped forward to suppress it.
"240,000 copies of the three-month report post were shipped, including 160,000 copies in August, and it seems that the upward momentum is very strong!" Zhang Heng looked at the specific sales report and was very satisfied.
At the group executive meeting at the end of the year, we should focus on this performance and tell our executives that although the mainland market has not yet been fully opened, and we can't see much capacity for the time being, it is very worthwhile to maintain an effective communication channel and even enter in advance to gain a certain brand influence, even if it does not make money in the short term!"
His support for Zhou Yarin seemed to make the boss very satisfied, Lu Yuanteng nodded happily, and then talked about the other two new markets that looked a little incredible.
As an important pole of the world's two poles at this time, the Soviet Union naturally had many direct subordinate and agency offices in Xiangjiang, including commercial organizations, which, like the mainland, were also approached by the other side.
For this huge empire, Zhou Yarin was not so kind to his compatriots, and the price quoted was only the same as that of Japan, much higher than that of the city.
The other party flatly refused, threatening to develop it himself.
Zhou Yarin smiled lightly, and gently but resolutely told the other party that if she infringed the patent of Daheng Printing Paper, then she would appeal to the European Civil Court after obtaining conclusive evidence, hoping that the other party would not regret it at that time!
The Soviet Union is not a closed country, the economic and trade exchanges with Europe are very close, and the annual transaction volume is very huge.
This is also the reason why China will have to endure patent robbers again and again in the future!
As the world's factory, you earn so much foreign exchange from exports every year, how dare you not abide by the patent law, which has become a universal principle in the world, unless you are closed off again, self-sufficient, and do not need to export or import.
The only correct way to deal with it is to sort out its own advantageous resources, not to let others encroach on them, and then concentrate on them, face the difficulties, break through a point, and finally gain their own advantages in a certain subdivision, so as to join the team to obtain patent dividends.
In the field of patents, too many tragic things have happened in China in the future, ceramics, rice paper, cloisonne, artemisinin, traditional Chinese medicine preparations (formula, dosage form and preparation method), etc., etc., countless originally exclusive possession of the technology, because of the lack of attention and other countries preemptively applied for patents, resulting in the production of thousands of years of products, even in the country sales have the risk of infringement.
Blame the enemy for being too cunning?
Applying for a patent is a potential that they have long been in their blood, and of course they will not let go of the opportunity!
I can only blame myself for being backward in thinking, being too stupid, not studying hard, and going up every day, to put it bluntly, I am not self-motivated, and I have no sense of ownership!
If you fall behind, you will be beaten! This is no joke!
It's just that the "beating" in modern society is generally no longer a naked, naked invasion by force, but a way that you can't tell if you have suffering, a way that looks more "civilized" but more cruel.
"Isn't she afraid of KGB?" Thinking of Zhou Yarin's small body, facing a big man like a polar bear, but daring to stand so firmly, Zhang Heng wanted to give countless likes.
Lu Yuanteng continued to introduce that the African market is not as Zhang Heng expected, mainly in South Africa, compared with the Middle East is still slightly inferior, Daheng Printing Paper's regional sales department is located in Baghdad, but two resident salesmen were sent to South Africa.
"Baghdad?" Zhang Heng thought about it and didn't say anything, anyway, there are still seven years left in the Iran-Iraq war, so let's leave it there for the time being.
PS: [Sorry, the interstitial ad: In Xifeng's new book "Rebirth of the Wild Age", the protagonist will comprehensively fight back against foreign companies in the pharmaceutical field (traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine) and seize many patents. It was when he was writing this book to find information that he occasionally learned a lot of unknown stories about pharmaceutical patents, coupled with the old manuscripts that he had before, that Xifeng gradually came up with the idea of opening a new book. γ
