Progress on the acquisition of the 506 mini car
Two days later, Chen Zhiwen's train also arrived at Yanjing Railway Station, as in Shanghai before, the department in charge of economy in Yanjing City, also came to greet several leaders, Chen Zhiwen was also very polite, and after a while with everyone, they went to the core of Yanjing City and met with the big leaders.
He did not talk about any substantive content, but instead had some simple dialogues, such as how to develop the mainland's economy, imitate Hong Kong's past experience, avoid some of Hong Kong's past problems, how to develop the electronics industry, and so on.
After the meeting lasted more than an hour, Chen Zhiwen returned to his residence in Yanjing, which was also the hotel invested by his old man Chen Tianfu in Yanjing City.
[Rivers and mountains are only in my dream, the motherland has not been close for many years, but no matter what, it can't be changed, my Chinese heart, although I wear a dress ......]
In the lobby on the top floor of the hotel, a Midea brand stereo is playing "My Chinese Heart", and Liu Xiaoli is tinkering with something.
"What's wrong?" Chen Zhiwen walked over and asked curiously.
"Brother Wen, I feel that the quality of this audio is not worse than those Japanese brands, but I heard that the sales are not very good." Liu Xiaoli said with a smile, and at the same time handed over a bottle of corn juice beside her.
Girls still care more about their figure, in Hong Kong or overseas developed countries, the average person is not short of food, people are easy to grow meat, therefore, Liu Xiaoli under Chen Zhiwen's suggestion, the main drink is some low-calorie and nutritious drinks, corn juice is one of them, but no matter what, it is only occasionally drunk, mainly to drink water, this is the healthiest mode.
"Normal, brand awareness is still not enough, people have been doing it for decades, which can we catch up in a few years." Chen Zhiwen didn't care.
Today's Midea Group is already one of the world's top ten electronics giants, focusing on games, home appliances and computer software, which is also an area that Chen Zhiwen pays more attention to.
Originally, many years ago, Chen Zhiwen also wanted to develop a portable music player similar to the Walkman, and it took a few years and a lot of costs, but it was researched, but it was much worse than Sony's music player in terms of music quality.
The technology of music playback may not be difficult, just buy high-end accessories everywhere with a little money, but if you want to achieve miniaturization and high quality, it is a test of technical heritage, just like a car, it is not difficult to build, but to compress the cost to the extreme, the quality can be stabilized, the difficulty is very high.
However, by taking a slightly lower price route, the sales of Midea's portable music player are also okay, in addition, it also involves vertical players, the kind with a large volume, that is, the one in front of you, and the sound quality is not much worse than that of Japanese brands.
But relatively speaking, it still can't compete with Japanese brands, especially Sony, because many people recognize the brand, Sony has been working in the field of music playback for decades, and it is very well-known, even if it relies on a lower price, it can't compete, after all, those who can buy this kind of vertical audio are generally rich people, not bad money.
This can be said to be Chen Zhiwen since the crossing, planning the layout of the product, not a successful category, but also normal, and not subversive innovation, want to overtake in the corner is almost impossible, in the future, may only wait until mp3 similar products appear, it is possible to shoot the former traditional music playing giant, at present this is not bad, but in the United States is not very good, can be taken out alone, in Hong Kong is also a large entity company.
"I'm going to go back to Hankou and give some of these music players to some of my friends and relatives." Liu Xiaoli said.
"Why don't you send a TV, or a color TV, it should be more practical, right? The refrigerator will work too! Chen Zhiwen asked curiously,Although the music player is also very enjoyable,But obviously it is not as practical as color TV,The former is just a pure enjoyment type,The latter has a lot of practical value,Watching TV,It's not just a TV series,There are all kinds of newsγ
Especially in domestic news broadcasts, any sentence in it may represent a change in policy, which is of great significance to people doing business or officials. Chen Zhiwen has also been paying attention to the content of the news broadcast over the years, after all, he is ready to take the mainland as one of the largest markets and the largest production base of his industry in the future, and even real estate will invest here on a large scale, but spending half an hour a day is too time-consuming, he usually hands it over to his assistant, and after reading it every day, he can just sort out the core content and show him.
"Because they already have TVs at home!" Liu Xiaoli said.
"......, yes, I haven't figured it out." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said. Liu Xiaoli is a scholarly family, and she can't be said to be rich, but she is also at the upper-middle level in China, and her family's friends should be at the same level.
Things gather by like, people by groups, this sentence is not only derogatory, but also a fact, people who are not in a circle of levels can't play together, even if they are relatives, they will probably drift apart in the end.
"Some relatives and friends who have a good relationship, it doesn't matter if you send some good ones, ordinary friends, some simple portable players are enough, the money is actually not much, but you can't be a big wrongdoer." Chen Zhiwen thought about it and said.
In fact, there is not much money in total, but this is relatively expensive in the mainland, it is too good for people, and many times it is not a good thing.
He wouldn't touch this kind of thing. Whether it's your own side or other friends around you, it's the same, at most, it's not about helping the poor, if you have any serious illness, then spend money to save your fellow countrymen's lives, it doesn't matter if you spend more, the rest, it's appropriate.
"Don't worry, I know." Liu Xiaoli nodded and said, "I only need to give some gifts for some people who have a very good relationship, and I haven't seen them for a long time." Others are elders who were very nice to me when I was a child. β
"Okay, you decide." Chen Zhiwen nodded, and suddenly said, "It's hot outside, I'm going to take a shower, why don't you go together?" β
"I'm not going, in broad daylight." Liu Xiaoli hurriedly said, her face was a little red.
"How nice it is in broad daylight." After speaking, Chen Zhiwen got started and pulled the person over, obviously, on the surface, a woman's strength is smaller than that of a man, but Chen Zhiwen knows that Liu Xiaoli, as an art student, is not bad in terms of physical fitness.
β¦β¦
As early as 1980, Yanjing allowed self-employed people to exist, and the first owner of the restaurant was reported by many newspapers, and even many foreign media came to observe, and it took a few months to make sure that there was no problem, and then went back to promote the model of the private economy that the mainland had begun.
In the following years, all kinds of bold people have also started their own way to make a fortune, whether it is engaged in stores or trade, the first batch of 10,000 yuan households in the mainland are all these people, in the era of great information gap, as long as they are bold, go to Shenhai City to buy some imported goods, and then transport them back to Yanjing Shanghai or other cities, the profit can be easily five times ten times, even if it is a Midea factory in Shenhai City, the income of ordinary people is far worse than this. The essence of profit is always linked to risk, and smart people just reduce risk.
Although in the past few years, there have been a little fluctuation in the policy, which has caused many people to be frightened, but the number of people who dare to do things is more, and many traditional commercial streets in Yanjing City are also considered to be at a good level.
It's just that Chen Zhiwen, as the owner of several potential Fortune 500 companies, came to Yanjing this time for a few big investments, so he naturally has to deal with these things first, and it's not too late to go to play again, after all, Yanjing and Shanghai and Guangdong are still different, although the economy may be similar, but the status and importance are much more.
However, this morning there was no need to contact people from the mainland, but Tian Xuecheng, who rushed back from England.
"Mini, we're talking about the price now?" Chen Zhiwen asked after handing over a cup of coffee.
During this time, although in Hong Kong or the mainland, but also often receive news from Europe, a little shorter, just use the telephone communication, a longer one, naturally is the fax, involving complex information that comes to people to send by plane, the efficiency of international express, but far less than the flow of personnel.
At present, in Europe, the most important thing is naturally AMC's acquisition of mini, and several other automobile companies are actually just foils, not strategic investments, and even Watsons wants to acquire Tesco, Hutchison acquires Rio Tinto's shares, etc., although the importance is also very high, but it is not in a hurry, and it will have little impact in a few years.
"Yes, in the past two months, we have negotiated with the British government more than a dozen times, and both sides have made concessions, and now there are only price and employment restrictions left, and the British side wants us to maintain five years without layoffs, but this time is too long." Tian Xuecheng said.
"5 years is indeed too long, let's continue to press the time, how much is the price now?" Chen Zhiwen asked. Generally, acquisitions are normally maintained for two years, after all, they all need to be acquired, and many of them are problematic in terms of operation, which naturally requires layoffs.
"Β£120 million, but the UK promised to pay it off in three installments over two years." Tian Xuecheng said.
"Okay, that's pretty much what I expected." Chen Zhiwen nodded, and asked again: "The British government has already released the news of this matter, and there are no car companies from other countries to participate in the competition?" β
