780 The best times are also the worst times
Liao Yun, as Jiang Hui's secretary, basically always carries a notebook and pen with him, and Jiang Hui often has some unexpected arrangements, if you don't write them down, it's easy to forget.
If Jiang Hui remembered it one day and found out that it was Liao Yun who forgot to record and caused the matter not to be done well, it is estimated that he would not feel that the current secretary is so useful.
As the secretary of the leader of the Korn Glory Group, the position may not be high, but the weight is absolute.
What's more, this is definitely a promising position, and I don't know how many people are staring at this position.
Liao Yun naturally won't allow himself to make mistakes.
"I said Boss Jiang, you are out of the east and out of the west, the business of the Guanghui Group is already miscellaneous enough, you still want to enter the hotel industry, we don't have any experience in this area, just go anywhere, the main business is also the online sales business, and it is still oriented to the mid-end market", Yang Yan said.
Yang Yan's question, in fact, Guanghui Group and even other people who pay attention to the development of Guanghui Group have this question.
Throughout the development history of Guanghui Group, it is still relatively clear in the early stage to expand all aspects of business with the Internet as the core, full of film and television, toys, drones, mobile phones, automobiles, ......
Let's talk about everything, everyone really can't understand Jiang Hui's thoughts.
"Isn't it normal to do whatever you want to make money these days? It's the best of times, and it's the worst of times," Jiang Hui said.
The first paragraph of the first sentence of Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities goes like this: This is the best of times, this is the worst of times, this is the age of wisdom, this is the age of foolishness, this is the time of faith, this is the time of doubt, this is the season of light, this is the season of darkness, this is the spring of hope, this is the winter of disappointment, there are all kinds of things in front of people, there is nothing in front of people, people are going straight to heaven, people are going straight to hell.
Jiang Hui has always felt that it makes sense.
2008 is a year of continuity. The international economy has ended many years of rapid growth and has begun to enter an era of turbulence.
But if you look at this era from ten years later, you will find that this is actually an era full of opportunities.
It's hard to say what kind of year 2008 was.
There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people.
In The Shawshank Redemption, Andy says, "I guess it comes don to a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying." ”
True, this is true of the world. For the same half glass of water, some people see that half of it is lost, and some people see that it is indeed half left.
Hope and despair often coexist.
This is why Lao Tzu said, "Misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune are lurking." ”
It is also a crisis crisis, where danger and opportunity coexist.
Every era is much the same. Those who have courage and vision will naturally gain something.
So, in their eyes, this is the best of times. Conservative and self-contained people can only live in their own small circle, and for them, they can only sigh that "they were born at the wrong time".
"It's really a time of change, and sometimes I don't feel like I can see the world clearly. Especially in the past six months in Europe, as one of the most economically developed regions in the world, some places are very advanced, and some places are very conservative, which feels out of step with the world trend," Yang Yan said.
As an old capitalist power, Europe has many excellent enterprises, not to mention the well-known major German enterprises.
For example, in Sweden and other places, there are also many companies that are leading in the field of subdivisions.
For example, bearings, gears, these things that look very ordinary and have no technical content, the Swedes do very well.
On the contrary, it is the Celestial Empire, and high-end bearings and gears have always needed to be imported.
Another example is the lithography machine that makes chips, which is basically purchased from Europe all over the world.
There is also a Rolls-Royce that you may know very well, but in fact you don't know.
As a brand that makes top-of-the-line cars, the vast majority of people know Rolls-Royce.
In 1906, Rolls-Royce was officially established in the United Kingdom, and the following year the Silver Ghost sedan was introduced, which soon became known as "the best car in the world".
Rolls-Royce is a symbol of elegance and nobility in the automobile kingdom, no matter how old the Rolls-Royce style is, how expensive it is, there is still no challenger.
However, in addition to manufacturing automobiles, Rolls-Royce is also involved in the field of aero engine manufacturing, and is also an excellent engine manufacturer, and some models of Airbus aircraft use Rolls-Royce engines.
This is probably unknown to many people.
An aero engine is a highly complex and sophisticated thermomechanical engine that provides the power required for aircraft to fly.
As the heart of the aircraft, it is known as the "flower of industry", which directly affects the performance, reliability and economy of the aircraft, and is an important embodiment of a country's scientific and technological, industrial and national defense strength.
At present, only a few countries in the world can independently develop high-performance aero engines, such as the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, and France, and the technical threshold is very high.
And the Celestial Empire, until ten years later, has not really entered this threshold.
The gap is simply suffocating.
"The world will change faster in the future, so we need to enter more money-making fields now, and only when we have sufficient cash in the group's account can we have enough strength to deal with various crises that may occur in the future," Jiang Hui said.
Cash is king, which usually doesn't sound like much feeling, but when it comes to the critical moment, the capital chain is broken, and then a company is finished.
In later generations, Apple had more than $200 billion in cash lying on its books, which left a very deep impression on Jiang Hui.
"But to be honest, I still feel that the European market is too complicated in the past six months. While the EU as a whole has achieved some degree of harmonization, the situation in each country is still very different. And the working attitude of the people here is also very different from that in China, they pay more attention to personal enjoyment," Yang Yan said.
Full of warm thoughts**, European office workers have long passed the stage of eating a full meal.
Naturally, the things to pursue are different.
"Indeed, so I think the Celestial Empire's tomorrow will be more promising. When the crisis came, we bought the industries that people were not willing to sell, and then went to China to build factories, and slowly learned the technology of others, and if they wanted to jump again in the future, they would directly slap them to death", Jiang Hui said waving his arm.
"To paraphrase a former official slogan: Imperialism will not die if it kills me," Yang Yan said with a smile.
"It as the best of times, it as the orst of times," Jiang Hui said, looking at the slowly flowing Thames River in the distance.
