Chapter 1905: I'll Be at Peace (1/3)
After hearing this, Secretary Dawson laughed first, and then Han Xuan himself laughed.
Because Dawson said not long ago that since the early stage of development, Han Xuan likes to rely on the abundant funds in his hands to buy, buy, buy, buy, not only buy technology, buy patents, buy talents, and sometimes even other companies, directly hold the vast majority of shares, and incorporate them into his own group.
Not only Han Xuan does this, other rich large companies also like to do this, high-quality enterprises are always closer to a small number of large enterprises, and then form a giant, compared to their own unknown entrepreneurship, direct acquisition of existing successful enterprises is more secure, although it means spending more money, but after all, it is worth it, through the merger to achieve the goal of monopolizing the market, you can definitely earn back the capital.
That's how Han Xuan amassed so much wealth over the course of a decade, and by holding companies with long-term growth, he slowly waited for them to become cornucopias, and the first companies to be acquired, including Starbucks, Hasbro, Blizzard Entertainment Group, and Bloomberg News, have now brought him handsome returns.
At present, he also holds a large number of shares of Internet companies, Cisco, Qualcomm, etc., which were "harvested" by him, and sold a large amount of shares before the outbreak of the Internet crisis, and recently began to cast a wide net to invest in new enterprises with development potential.
Therefore, the phrase "opportunities are only reserved for the prepared rich" is really not false at all, more people have already lived their lives in a daze in the primitive stage of capital accumulation, and have not had the opportunity to see the scenery at the top of the social pyramid.
At Han Xuan's scale, he had the confidence to say that he would never go bankrupt, and his collection of art alone was worth more than 30 billion US dollars, and no matter how bankrupt he was, he was very rich, even if the so-called "bankruptcy" was only relative to his peak, he lost some money.
At this moment, the executives, operating officers, financial officers and other senior management personnel sitting in front of him are worth more than 10 billion US dollars, and most of them are given by Han Xuan, so they don't feel that listening to Han Xuan's meeting and discussion is such a boring thing, but they listen to it with relish.
I have long been accustomed to the investment vision of the small boss, and I understand how vicious Han Xuan's vision is, even if there is a deviation from the company's established development strategy, several people in charge of Snow Mountain Real Estate also nodded and said that they understood, and no objections were raised, countless things have proved that Han Xuan is smarter than them combined, and there must be a reason for such a decision.
It's not that they haven't failed to invest, such as the electric vehicle business, but they understand that it is purely a small boss who is in a hurry, and there must be a market in the future, and it is not an ordinary small market, and today's mobile phone electronics business has to fight.
may have a different opinion with Executive Anthony, but he will not disagree with the small boss, this is his prestige in the company, even if he is not in the company for a long time, he is still in the sky!
The number of Starbucks stores in the world has long exceeded 10,000, saying that it is a competitor, in fact, the threat to Starbucks is not big, it has successfully promoted its corporate culture, if people have the idea of where to drink coffee, the name of Starbucks will always flash in the minds of consumers, and feel that there is class, comfortable to sit, and the service is also great, which is the terrible thing about selling corporate culture to the outside world.
Not only Starbucks, but also Blueberry Group, Han's Automobile Group, and even many Internet companies under the Hope Group are constantly promoting their corporate culture.
Take the products of Blueberry Group as an example, people will think that it is special, and the quality and after-sales service are also guaranteed, and the other is practical, advanced, high-grade and so on.
Several special customized machines for sale use a variety of precious materials, which have successfully raised the grade of the entire brand, don't look at how much money can be made from it, and the additional benefits are very large.
As early as when people didn't pay attention to these subtle things, Han Xuan had already begun to arrange people to do it, Nokia, Motorola, Blackberry, Sony and other mobile phones, just mobile phones with different shapes, but blueberry mobile phones are special, representing advanced technology and high-end enterprises, so they can win the favor of consumers while selling more expensive......
Mr. Schultz of Starbucks Company, his appearance is a little older than when Han Xuan first met him, and he looks more temperamental, managing a company with a market value of tens of millions of dollars, and managing a company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars, there is a huge difference between the two, and the most regrettable thing I have done over the years is that I didn't listen to Han Xuan's persuasion and sold many Starbucks shares in the early days of listing.
As a result, Han Xuan is still the majority shareholder, and the stake has not been diluted, but has risen slightly, and Mr. Schultz has become one of the many small shareholders, if it is not for the title of "Starbucks founder and CEO", it is not inconspicuous at all.
The company's market value has been rising in recent years, and I thought that $20 billion was the end, but I didn't expect it to break through $30 billion, and after $30 billion, it took just over a year to successfully break through $40 billion, and recently it is close to $50 billion, which makes Mr. Schultz's intestines almost regret.
also belongs to the "descendant members" of the Snow Mountain Group, and is still the old qualification, but Mr. Schultz does not have much say within the company, which is mainly related to Han Xuan's decentralization to him, which has a lot to do with the parent company.
Unexpectedly, the topic suddenly turned to himself, he coughed dryly, and continued to tell Han Xuan: "Okay, I understand what you mean, there is still enough liquidity in the company's account, I will try to contact Costa, this company is positioned similar to our Starbucks, there is only one brand at present, so that consumers have more choices, which is good."
Since I have spoken, I would like to ask you a question, little boss, how do you think Starbucks should achieve a leap forward in the current bottleneck period? Need to transition into other industries? ”
"Hmm...... Great question.
The question session hasn't started yet, but if you want to ask, you can also ask, one by one, the reason for today's meeting is to solve your troubles, and at the same time, it is also my random classroom test for you. ”
Han Xuan simply organized the language, I really didn't expect how Starbucks would develop next, and when the global expansion was over, it was certain that it would fall into a bottleneck, and he frowned slightly and said: "For the time being, let's continue to develop and seize the market, and you can't suddenly change your career to sell milk, add some peripheral goods, and increase the promotion of bagged coffee beans."
I think it's time to rectify the company, after more than 10 years of development, there will always be some internal problems, you have to think about how to increase profits and reduce unnecessary expenses......"
