Chapter 621: Fear of Failure
The two of them have been lingering in bed until mid-morning before getting up, in this process, Chen Mingyu told Zhang Qian in detail how to run a household appliance chain shopping mall, Zhang Qian is indeed quite perceptive, not only Chen Mingyu said these things to comprehend, but also put forward some very constructive ideas.
After getting up and washing, they went downstairs separately, had breakfast in a well-known Hong Kong-style teahouse, and then came to the headquarters of Huafei Technology together.
Zhang Xinping was naturally very happy to see Chen Mingyu coming! He took Chen Mingyu to visit the company, and told Chen Mingyu about the company's situation, and then the two of them came to his office.
"Xinping, you have developed Huafei Technology so well, it is indeed amazing!" Chen Mingyu praised.
"Hehe, Mingyu, it's okay if others praise me, how can you praise me! Without you, would Huafei Technology be able to develop to where it is today? In fact, this company belongs to you, and I have always implemented it according to your plan. Zhang Xinping said, and he said it very sincerely, very sincerely, and did not have any pretentious gestures, because in his heart, this company was indeed developed in accordance with Chen Mingyu's will.
"Hehe, Xinping, you are too modest, although I have made some planning, but the implementation is actually more difficult! If I were to be replaced by you, I guess I would not be able to carry out the plans I made. Chen Mingyu said with a smile.
Zhang Xinping smiled and said, "Mingyu, I just want to talk to you about something." ”
Chen Mingyu lit a cigarette and said, "Really? What's up? ”
Zhang Xinping pondered for a moment and said, "It's about Uncle Xuewei." Since Uncle Xuewei came to work in Huafei, he has made great contributions to the development of Huafei and has become an indispensable member of Huafei. However, in recent times, we have some different ideas about the company's development plan. ”
Chen Mingyu nodded, as if he had just learned about it, and said: "With the development of the company, it is normal for different ideas to appear among the management, what do you all think?" ”
"Uncle Xuewei's idea is to start entering the field of white goods such as refrigerators, color TVs, washing machines, etc., and use the brand of Huafei Technology to seize the market to obtain more profits." Zhang Xinping said.
"Well, what do you think?" Chen Mingyu asked noncommittally.
"My idea is to continue to deepen the field of VCD, invest more money in research and development, strive to produce VCD with better quality and higher technology content, and continue to expand our market share. Nowadays, the market share of our products in China has been far ahead of other friends, so I also specialize in expanding abroad and developing foreign markets. Zhang Xinping said.
Chen Mingyu flicked off the ashes, smiled, and did not speak.
Zhang Xinping also laughed and said: "Mingyu, to be honest, although I am more inclined to continue to cultivate the field of VCD, I actually have some temptation for Uncle Xuewei's ideas. Of course, it would be good if it could occupy a place in the fields of color TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, etc., but in recent years, local brands such as Haier, Kelon, Changhong, and TCL have developed very well, not to mention those foreign brands, so the competition in this field is very fierce! I did a simple survey, in the early nineties, those companies that produce color TVs and refrigerators, have survived to less than 5% now, and the 95% that have disappeared are either closed down or acquired, in short, the competition in this market is too fierce! If we kill at this time, and we don't have the technology in this area, I am afraid that we will also fall into the strangulation of other companies and lose, which will affect our corporate image, and even give other VCD manufacturers the opportunity to catch up with us, which will outweigh the losses! ”
Listening to Zhang Xinping's words, Chen Mingyu couldn't help laughing again, Zhang Qian's statement is the same as Zhang Xinping's, it seems that the two of them should be a united front, if you use one word to describe it, it should be regarded as a "conservative".
However, considering the conversation with Zhang Qian this morning, Chen Mingyu feels that Zhang Qian may not be a "conservative", she is actually quite radical, and she should be mainly influenced by Zhang Xinping in the opposite direction of Huafei Technology.
As for Tao Xuewei, relatively speaking, he should be a real "radical".
However, this is quite an interesting phenomenon.
It is said that Zhang Xinping and Zhang Qian are both reckless backgrounds, have not systematically studied economic management knowledge, and have grown up completely in the struggle of the market.
And Tao Xuewei is from the academy, and his personality should be more cautious, so it is said that his ideas should be more conservative!
But now, how is it the other way around?
However, Chen Mingyu thought about it seriously and roughly understood the reason.
Zhang Xinping is from a civilian background, no background, no education, no money, before that, he just made a living by opening food stalls, which can be regarded as a "three-no personnel".
Now, Zhang Xinping has achieved great success by relying on Huafei Technology, Huafei brand VCD sells well all over the country, Huafei Technology Company has also become a famous private enterprise in Qingjiang City, as the chairman of the company, Zhang Xinping won the honorary title of "Top Ten Private Entrepreneurs in Qingjiang City" this year, and the company has also been visited by a number of municipal party committee leaders.
For Zhang Xinping, this is a huge honor, and this is also his country!
Therefore, on this issue, Zhang Xinping chose a conservative attitude, because he was afraid of failure, afraid that his country would fall, and that he would lose all this that he had so hard to get.
For Tao Xuewei, what is the name, money may still be in the second place, for him, the first place should be to apply what he has learned, he wants to apply the knowledge he has learned to the actual business war, and make a remarkable achievement!
Therefore, he is particularly eager to get opportunities and fight in the market, so his personality is more aggressive!
Regarding the personalities of Zhang Xinping and Tao Xuewei, Chen Mingyu can't actually say who is good and who is bad, but can only say that each has its own advantages and disadvantages, if the personalities of the two of them can be neutralized, it will be really good!
However, for now, he still has to do more ideological work on Zhang Xinping, because Zhang Xinping's idea is wrong!
Looking at it now, Huafei Technology seems to only need to focus on the VCD industry, but if one day, when the VCD industry begins to decline and profits begin to decline sharply, it may be too late for him to want to transform!
So, Chen Mingyu took a puff of cigarette slowly, and then said: "Xinping, your idea is good, for the current Huafei Technology, your idea is more stable than Uncle Xuewei's." ”
Zhang Xinping smiled and said, "Mingyu, there should be a 'but' behind your sentence, right?" ”
Chen Mingyu couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Xinping also laughed and said: "Mingyu, if you have any ideas, just say it directly, I am actually very entangled in my idea, but I can't convince myself, so I'm actually quite hoping that you can convince me." ”
"Really? Then I'll get straight to the point! ”
"Okay, just say it."
"Xinping, let me ask you a question first. Do you think the VCD industry can survive for a few years? ”
"This ...... I think that with our company's current market share, as long as we maintain R&D, ensure quality, and ensure publicity, at least within three years, there should be no company that can catch up with us. ”
Chen Mingyu didn't know how Zhang Xinping calculated the time of "three years", he was not interested in this, smiled, and said: "Xinping, you didn't understand what I meant, I'm not saying when other companies will be able to catch up with us, but to say, how many years do you think the entire VCD industry can live?" ”
Zhang Xinping understood what Chen Mingyu meant this time, and couldn't help but feel dumbfounded, and was silent for a moment before saying: "Mingyu, you mean that the VCD industry may ...... Disappear? ”
"Why can't it be?" Chen Mingyu asked with a smile.
"But ......" Zhang Xinping wanted to explain, but suddenly found that he couldn't find the right words, and finally said, "How can such a big industry disappear?" ”
Chen Mingyu smiled: "Who would have thought that the telegraph industry would disappear before the telephone became popular? ”
Zhang Xinping opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything, because he also understood that the world was changing too fast, and no one could say which industries would disappear at some point in the future.
Chen Mingyu said: "VCD machine, to put it bluntly, is a machine that plays VCD, if one day in the future, even VCD is eliminated, then VCD machine still has the value of existence?" ”
"You say, even VCDs may be eliminated in the future?"
"Hehe, VCD is just a video compression disk, if one day, someone invents something else that is smaller, more convenient, faster to spread, and can store more, then, why use VCD?"
"Will there be such a technique?" Zhang Xinping asked curiously.
"Hehe, Xinping, the development of science and technology is not what we can expect! If this kind of thing will appear in a few years, then VCD will become history, and then Huafei Technology will be too late if it transforms by then! Chen Mingyu said earnestly.
