Chapter 82 - Hong Kong Annual Conference (Part I)

Back in San Jose, as soon as Zhang Lexing entered the house, Yang Xinxin came to visit. As soon as she entered the house, she handed a stack of materials to Zhang Lexing and said: "Brother, I think you should have the idea of planning to learn to drive during this time, I know you have a little fear of driving, here are the materials of several driving schools, you can go to learn it, maybe you can overcome it." ”

"Sister Xin, but I'm going to Hong Kong in two days, I'm afraid I don't have time to study for the time being." Zhang Lexing took the information and took a look at it, and put it on the square table next to him.

"It's okay, don't worry, I'll go back when I have time. However, you have to remember that you must pass the written test before the road test, and then you can get an official driver's license by passing the road test within a year, and there is no limit to the number of written tests and road tests, as long as you can pass, so you don't have to worry. Yang Xinxin explained.

"I see." Zhang Lexing nodded and said, "Sister Xin, then just wait for me to come back, I believe I should be able to find time." ”

"Okay, brother, you can arrange it yourself. However, after taking the driver's license, it is really much more convenient, you can drive wherever you want, and you don't have to rely on others at all. And for you, younger brother, it will be a lot more convenient when you are in the world of two, so you don't have to worry about someone disturbing you. Okay, I'll go first, have a good rest. After speaking, Yang Xinxin turned around and left.

Yang Xinxin's words when she left really moved Zhang Lexing, especially the sentence "It will be much more convenient when the world of two people" made him even more excited, and he didn't seem to have so much resistance to learning to drive.

After a short day of rest, on January 17, Zhang Lexing took a car to San Francisco International Airport, boarded a flight to Hong Kong, and prepared to attend the annual meeting of Oriental Industrial Group held there.

……

Due to the slight delay of the flight, by the time the plane landed at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport, it was already 6:20 p.m. local time on January 18.

The temperature in Hong Kong at this time is similar to that of San Jose, and there is no need to change or decrease clothes after getting off the plane, and it is quite comfortable along the way. Zhang Lexing and two accompanying bodyguards walked out of the airport terminal, and not long after they saw a large group of people who came to pick up the plane, including Zhang Lexing's own assistant Yan Ruofei and Du Anqi, the administrative secretary of Oriental Holdings, as well as a team of bodyguards sent by Antaida Security Company.

Seeing Zhang Le walking out, Yan Ruofei waved his hand and greeted: "Boss, the car is here!" ”

Hearing Yan Ruofei's greeting, Zhang Lexing dragged his suitcase and walked over. When they came to the car, the group got into the car one after another, and Zhang Lexing also got into the Mercedes-Benz S600. As soon as he sat down, Yan Ruofei took a few folders and sat in with him. After Yan Ruofei sat down, he patted the driver's seat, and the car quickly started and drove away from Kai Tak Airport. The car dealership was on the road, Yan Ruofei opened the folder and began to report to Zhang Lexing on the preparations for the company's annual meeting.

"Boss, the annual meeting of the company lasts for three days, starting from the morning of the 19th and ending on the 21st. The final number of participants in the annual meeting is 120 people, including the nine business divisions and company executives of Microelectronics, Electronic Entertainment, Media, Animation, Consumer Goods, Consumer Electronics, Software, Finance, Real Estate, and Investment successively established by Oriental Holdings, as well as Oriental Microelectronics Co., Ltd., Oriental Electronic Entertainment Co., Ltd., Activision, Eidos, Asia Interactive, Star Media, Kunpeng Animation, Jiamei Toys, Baofeng Electronics Factory, Rising Sun Software, Leyiyang, Kingsoft General, Yulefang, Oriental Real Estate Company, The main leaders of Dream Fund, AllianceBernstein Fund, Desheng Fund, Oriental Copyright Exchange Co., Ltd. and other companies, as well as representatives of the directors of Standard Chartered Bank.

……

On the morning of the 19th, the nine business divisions will report on the operation of the companies in the previous year one by one, and in the afternoon, each business department will discuss the future business strategy with the industry companies under its management. On the 20th, the nine business divisions will compile the results of the discussion into a report and submit it to you for final approval. If necessary, on the 21st, you can also meet with representatives of your subsidiaries individually......

Boss, that's basically the arrangement this time, do you think there is anything else that needs to be adjusted? ”

"Now that it's been arranged, so be it, there's no need to adjust it anymore." After Zhang Lexing finished speaking, he leaned back on his seat and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Seeing that Zhang Lexing closed his eyes, as if he was planning to take a nap, Yan Ruofei immediately took out the thin blanket prepared in the car and carefully covered Zhang Lexing's body. The car drove all the way to the front door of the Peninsula Hotel before stopping, and this time, as before, Zhang Lexing was arranged for the same suite......

The next morning, after breakfast, Zhang Lexing went to the conference center of the Peninsula Hotel under the arrangement of Yan Ruofei, where the annual meeting of the company was held. At 8:59 a.m., Zhang Le walked into the conference center, and all 120 people had arrived. At nine o'clock, the annual meeting of the enterprise officially began, and the first to take the stage was Hua Ziqing, the general manager of Oriental Holdings, who will be responsible for presiding over today's meeting.

“…… Today, we are gathered here to hold the annual meeting of Oriental Industrial Group, which is a meeting held after the major adjustment of the company's operation. In the past year, the Group has grown by leaps and bounds, not only continuing to move forward in its original fields, but also expanding its business into the media, consumer goods, finance and real estate industries......

So after a year of hard work, how is the business going? Next, please follow the previously agreed order, one by one to the stage to introduce their respective business situation, first of all, the representative of the microelectronics division Chen Bangguo is invited to speak, please welcome. ”

In the warm applause of everyone, Chen Bangguo walked to the speaker on the stage, took the microphone from Hua Ziqing's hand, tried the tone, and then began to say: "Leaders, colleagues, hello everyone. I am Chen Bangguo from the Microelectronics Division, and I will introduce to you the group's operation in the microelectronics industry last year. In FY1994, the Group's factories produced a total of 5.3 million ICs, of which 4.9 million were delivered, of which 2.95 million R-3000A were delivered to Sony's game console production plants. Total revenue for the year was HK$1,503.3 million, with a profit of HK$530 million after deducting costs and related expenses......"

After saying the data he had in one breath, Chen Bangguo sighed, walked off the stage and returned to his seat to sit down. Since the establishment of Oriental Industrial Group, it is the first time to hold such a formal corporate annual meeting, and he has no idea how far the data he has come up can be in the group.

The second person to take the stage was Xu Yeming, a representative of the Electronic Entertainment Division, who took the microphone and said: "In 1994, the group completed the acquisition of Capcom Corporation of Japan, which strengthened the company's strength in game production and distribution. At present, the group has a number of professional game production companies around the world, as well as three professional game publishing companies in Asia Interactive, Activision in the United States and Eidos in the United Kingdom. Last year, the Group's publishing companies released a total of 187 games on various platforms, including 95 games from its game production companies, achieving cumulative sales of 61.5 million units. The annual revenue was HK$19,188 million, and the profit for the year was HK$7,675.2 million, excluding various expenses and expenses. ”

Xu Yeming is very confident, the data of his department is definitely in the forefront of the group, and he may be ranked first, looking at the surprised expression in the audience, he walked off the table proudly.

Dai Shihua is a representative of the media division, and when he heard about the situation of the microelectronics division before, he still felt that the gap between his departments was not too big, but then Xu Yeming of the electronic entertainment division said that he was dumbfounded, and the gap between the two departments was not half a star. He was a little embarrassed to go on stage, but he couldn't flinch under the expectant gaze of everyone, so he could only walk up to the speaker's seat.

Taking the microphone, Dai Shihua stabilized his mood and said: "The Media Division completed the acquisition of two newspapers and three magazines in 1994, and on this basis, Shuxiang Newspaper was established, plus the satellite TV acquired by the group in 1993, which was combined into Star Media. Last year, a total profit of HK$120 million was ......"

After Dai Shihua stepped down from the speaker's seat, he was followed by Chen Lianming, the representative of the animation division, who seemed to be in a very good mood, and made a small joke, which caused the audience to laugh, before he began his speech: "At present, the group has a number of professional animation production companies and publishing companies in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and other places, including animation distribution, adaptation authorization and peripheral licensing, with an annual revenue of 19.89 billion Hong Kong dollars and a total profit of 7.596 billion Hong Kong dollars......"

The data of the animation division once again caused some people in the audience to exclaim, but Xu Yeming, who was still a little ambitious just now, frowned, thinking about how to increase the intensity of development this year.

Then came to the stage was Shen Meiqin, the representative of the consumer goods division, she was very modest, bowed, and then began her report: "The goal of the establishment of the consumer goods division is to explore the direct sale of animation and game peripherals, and the group is currently investing in the establishment of Jiamei toys and a clothing design center. Last year, through the sale of design and self-production, the annual revenue was 2.633 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the profit was 1.025 billion Hong Kong dollars......"

Yuan Yiqing, a representative of the Consumer Electronics Division, took the stage and said: "At present, the group has a comprehensive consumer electronics design center and a number of consumer electronics production plants, the main products include learning machines, electronic dictionaries and VCD related spare parts, etc., with a total profit of 110 million Hong Kong dollars in 1994......"

The software division has not been established for a long time, but the software companies under its management have been for quite a few years, and the profitability has been growing steadily year by year, and the situation has been good.

Clearing his throat, Liang Xinfang took the microphone and said: "The group has a number of software companies such as Sunrise Software, Le Yiyang, Kingsoft General, Yulefang, etc., and its business has spread throughout the mainland, Hong Kong, Japan and other places, with sales revenue of 10.258 billion Hong Kong dollars and a total profit of 4.133 billion Hong Kong dollars in 1994......"

Then it was the turn of the representative of the financial division Tang Lishen and the representative of the real estate division Liang Jun to speak, but the two were not established for a long time, the biggest achievement of the financial division is through the acquisition of several small shareholders of the shares, the number of shares held by Standard Chartered Bank gradually increased from 19.3% to 26.8%, but the profit is not much, although the Standard Chartered Bank also has a turnover of tens of billions of dollars a year and more than a billion dollars of profits, but in order not to affect the operation of Standard Chartered Bank, Through dividends, Oriental Holdings only got 1.32 billion Hong Kong dollars a year. As for the real estate division, because the company under its management has only been established for a short time, there is no income except for the money spent on land, so there is nothing to say.

The last to come to the stage is Zhang Wenshan, the representative of the investment division, he is not a very serious person, on this occasion is still smiling and said: "At present, the group has a total of three investment funds: Dream, AllianceBernstein and Desheng, through investment in foreign exchange, stocks, futures, real estate and other markets and specific patents, in 1994 a total profit of 3.68 billion US dollars, according to the current exchange price, about 28.626 billion Hong Kong dollars!" ”

"Hiss......" The audience gasped, almost everyone was shocked by this number, the revenue of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in the electronic entertainment and animation division was already very enviable, I didn't think that the investment division was so profitable, and one department had more profits than all the previous industries combined, how could it not be surprising.

However, Zhang Lexing will not be surprised by this, although the profit of the entire Oriental Industrial Group in 1994 was 6.555 billion US dollars (about 51.1352 billion Hong Kong dollars), but it is nothing compared to the scale of the 24.5 billion US dollars of the speculative fund hidden in Japan. The Japanese speculative fund, ostensibly a Bermuda-daught, New York-based hedge fund publicly known as the Montera Foundation, has no connection to Mr. Zhang from any publicly available information, and even the fund's operators know nothing about it. On weekdays, most of the Montara Foundation's funds are scattered in the Japanese market, wandering around like piranhas, looking for everything, and when they find an opportunity to do so, they will immediately flock to the target. Occasionally, the Montara Foundation will also move to other countries, such as the pound in '92 and the Mexican peso last year, and the Montara Foundation has taken advantage of the chaos to pick up some bargains. However, the most he does is to buy short and sell short in the Japanese market, or to buy and sell some eye-catching companies and sell them separately, Zhang Lexing seems to be completely a "leech" operating in Japan, sucking Japanese flesh and blood to support himself.

After the completion of the reports of the various business divisions, Zhang Lexing walked to the table and made a concluding speech, in fact, there is no substantive content, and it can even be handed over to Hua Ziqing, general manager of Oriental Holdings, but in order to let the companies know who is their boss, Zhang Lexing must do so.

After eating the working meal arranged at noon, everyone was divided into nine groups according to the different industries they belonged to, and discussed the future business strategy with their respective business divisions in different conference rooms. Due to the scattered discussion, Zhang Lexing also lacked skills, so he could only release his assistant to follow up the discussion, while Zhang Lexing himself came to the branch venue of the electronic entertainment division.
