Chapter 4: The Death of the Behemoth
Shi Yuzhu crossed his hands behind his head, looked at the ceiling and continued to say slowly, "Actually, I should have been a respected university professor. ”
Qingyun rolled her eyes in front of him when she heard this, "Uncle Shi, I think you are lying to the child." ”
Later generations didn't see you and Zhang Chaoyang going to class like that.
Shi Yuzhu glanced at him, "Are you a child?" I'm just pitying your talent. ”
The reporter's report was very detailed.
is different from the Shi Yuzhu that ordinary people understand, in fact, he has a hobby.
is that every year when the college entrance examination questions come out, he will do it seriously once to see how many points he can score.
And then compare it with those provincial champions.
Look at how big the gap between those provincial champions and yourself is.
Yes, he was very unconvinced that he only took the county top exam that year.
With his IQ, if he had the conditions of a city doll back then, the national champion would be like a bag to pick up things.
This year, he tried it, and it was not easy, but he was able to score more than 680 points.
Therefore, after seeing Qingyun's score, he was convinced.
As a student who was killed in that era when thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, Shi Yuzhu thought that he was very aware of Qingyun's talent.
Qingyun spread his hands, "Uncle Shi, since you know my situation, you should know very well that I want to marry the daughter of the Qin family, and it is not okay to be a professor." ”
Shi Yuzhu glanced at him, "The old Qin girl is indeed beautiful, but you are not too soft." ”
Qingyun smiled, "I have a bad stomach, so it's good to have a soft mouthful." Besides, she's really beautiful. ”
Shi Yuzhu couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, "You are indeed different from the second generation I have seen. ”
Qingyun shook his head, "Of course it's different, I'll be a generation, don't compare me with those people." ”
Shi Yuzhu glanced at him teasingly, "What? Look down on those people? Think someone is winning at the starting line? ”
Qingyun shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "Uncle Shi, there's no way to compare." Those people didn't win at the starting line, but were born directly at the finish line. ”
"The young man is a little negative, huh?"
"Huh!" Qingyun pursed his lips, "This is called recognizing oneself, not on the same track, you don't have to envy others." ”
Shi Yuzhu nodded, "From the first time you came in, I noticed that you were different from the others. ”
He pointed to Qingyun's eyes, "I don't see worship or anger in your eyes. ”
Qingyun was stunned for a moment, and felt a little funny, "I should worship you?" Uncle Shi, angry, let alone unspeakable. ”
Damn, it's too arrogant!
Shi Yuzhu shook his head, "In 92, a media conducted a questionnaire survey on 10,000 young people in ten major cities across the country.
One of the questions is, 'Write about the youth you admire the most.'"
1st place, Bill Gates.
2nd place......"
Shi Yuzhu pointed at himself smugly, "It's me." ”
Qingyun blinked his eyes, "Uncle Shi, 92 years...... I'm only 6 years old and I've just started elementary school......"
Another character immersed in the glory of the past!
Ten years later, you stopped a young man in his 20s on the street and asked him who Shi Yuzhu was, and I am afraid that less than one-tenth of the people knew about it.
Shi Yuzhu glanced at him, and said helplessly, "When I talked to you, I really didn't feel that you were only 18 years old now......
Qingyun smiled, "This is a compliment?" ”
"No, you mean you're old." Shi Yuzhu shook his finger and continued,
"Some people say that my failure is the most tragic tragicomedy of the rural intellectual youth surfing the market economy.
I said that I had caused great psychological damage to all the students who came out of the countryside. ”
Qingyun sighed, "Uncle Shi, did anyone say you were too arrogant?" ”
Shi Yuzhu said lightly, "Remember, this is my first lesson, arrogance." This problem of mine is also the biggest reason for the collapse of the Behemoth Group. ”
Qingyun saw that he pulled back the topic, and hurriedly listened carefully.
"I know that my first pot of gold came from the M-6401 desktop publishing and printing software, but there is a little story in it, no one knows."
Shi Yuzhu lit a cigarette, and did not smoke, but sandwiched it between his fingers, and let it burn.
"At that time, I had just resigned and came to Pengcheng, and I only had 4,605 yuan in my pocket, of which 3,100 yuan was borrowed.
I went to the magazine "Computer World" and wanted to put an ad to sell my software.
The magazine quoted 8,400 yuan, and I didn't have that much money, so I wrapped a red envelope for the people in the advertising department and asked for payment after two weeks of advertising. ”
Qingyun didn't care about the red envelope.
People are sophisticated.
He focused on another point, "Uncle Shi, didn't you think about it at that time, what if you failed?"
Or maybe the effect of the ad is not so quickly apparent? ”
Shi Yuzhu spread his hands, "I thought about it, in this case, I would pay half of the money to the sky, and then run away."
When you earn money later, you can pay off your debts. ”
Debt?
This sentence was said by others, Qingyun was only the wind in his ears, but it was Shi Yuzhu who spoke, so it was another matter.
This is the first person in "True Biography".
The debts owed by the Behemoth Group back then, he later paid off all the debts even with principal and interest.
What Qingyun cared about was, "Actually, you want to tell me, the first pot of gold, are you gambling with your life?" ”
Shi Yuzhu smiled, he didn't expect the child in front of him to see through the essence at a glance.
"Yes, I was gambling with my life.
But I won the bet.
In 7 days, I received 11,000 yuan, and the advertising fee was paid.
In two months, I earned 100,000 yuan, and this was my first pot of gold. ”
After that, he looked at Qingyun fixedly, "The 100,000, I put all my brains into the advertisement."
After 4 months, I became a millionaire. ”
At this time, the cigarette in his hand burned to ashes, and he threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray.
Not long after the good days, Qiu Bojun's WPS was born with the help of Fang Zhen's brand and channels.
This product outperforms my M-6401 in every way.
I have to gamble again, otherwise the market that I just hit will be handed over.
I locked myself up in school, and I spent 150 days and nights in front of my computer, except for one time a week downstairs to buy instant noodles.
I developed the M-6402 word processing software. ”
After that, he smiled, "You say it's funny, when I walked out of school and came home, everything in my house was emptied, and my wife and children were gone." ”
Qingyun was a little silent when he heard this.
He understands that Shi Yuzhu is actually saying that entrepreneurs are not qualified to fall in love or even get married.
I can't take care of it, I can't take care of it at all.
Shi Yuzhu looked at him, and he didn't care if he listened to it or not, just this kid looked pleasing to the eye, and he wouldn't say anything about it to anyone else.
"Obviously, I won the bet again, narrowed the gap with WPS, or won and lost each other, so that I could still compete in the market.
So I had the capital to continue the research and development of the giant monster Hanka, and then it was a well-known success. ”
Speaking of this, Shi Yuzhu was silent for a moment, "I'll tell you a little story."
When the M6401 was first developed, my teacher, he was very considerate of me.
I set up a computer department in Pengcheng University, and handed it over to me to contract, just give me a symbolic management fee of 1,000 yuan every month.
At that time, he introduced me to three students to help me, all of whom were brothers and sisters.
Not long after, when my net worth was just over one million, a classmate said to me, 'Each of us should have shares, and everyone should share the money they earn'.
Ridiculous, you say? I developed the software, I provided the start-up capital, and I found the channels, and I gave each of them 8% of the shares, and they were too little.
Later, when it got stiff, I smashed the computer and told them to get out.
The spirit of cooperation of the people in our country is completely incompatible, and once you have a stake, they will fight with you, causing the structure of the company to be unstable.
So, I'm not going to do anything about the joint-stock system anymore. Later, whether it is a monster or an old platinum, the parent company must be owned by me personally, and the following subsidiaries will only be considered by me as a controlling shareholder.
I only give my executives high salaries and bonuses, even if it's more than they deserve.
There are too many companies in our country that have died on infighting, such as Aiduo, which is engaged in VCD, in fact, when the founder founded it, he divided too many shares out, and finally the company became not his own.
A lot of people called me stupid, including the experts in the newspapers and on TV, that one of the main reasons for my failure in the Behemoth was that I didn't understand the corporate governance structure.
But Xiaoqing, let me tell you, this model is correct.
Since then, there has been no more infighting in my company. ”
After that, he looked at Qingyun fixedly, "You are from the countryside, our experience is actually very similar, of course, I am a little happier than you, I admit it."
But in essence, we all come from small places to the big city, and the circle of people in our native environment does not bring any benefit to our development.
Therefore, we will instinctively believe, or say, want to join the group with the classmates around us to keep warm.
However, people are separated from each other, and I tell this story to tell you not to believe too much in the so-called classmates and roommates.
Don't even believe it too much...... Forget it, you can understand it yourself. ”
Qingyun nodded, "Uncle Shi, thank you." ”
Shi Yuzhu waved his hand absently and called for two boxed lunches.
The ordinary boxed lunches with one meat and one vegetarian are no different from those eaten by migrant workers.
Of course, Shi Yuzhu's eating appearance is no different from that of migrant workers.
"If you have any questions, ask them quickly, don't delay me from playing the game."
This sentence made Qingyun cry and laugh very much, after turning over through the old platinum, Shi Yuzhu, who had paid off his debts, was a rich idler who was addicted to online games every day.
But also, an old platinum, a black and gold partner, this thing will be fine for a lifetime.
Giving gifts to the elderly, giving these two, after all, there is nothing wrong with it.
He thought about it, but still asked a doubt in his heart,
"Uncle Shi, aside from the previous stage of gambling, in fact, your business has always been very stable.
Why did you think about building the Behemoth Mansion so high? There's no need at all. ”
Shi Yuzhu sneered when he heard this, "I didn't really think about building any giant beast mansion from the beginning!" ”
After that, he threw away his chopsticks angrily, "I only planned to build a R&D base at that time."
The yamen gave me the land, which was half sold and half given, and it was only 125 yuan per square meter.
Later, a leader came to inspect the giant beast, and when he visited the construction site, he said to me, the location of your place is very good, why don't you build it higher? ”
"So, you're tempted?" Qingyun raised an eyebrow.
Shi Yuzhu glanced at him, "Which one is tempted, it is those local people who are tempted." So the R&D base became the Behemoth Building, on the 38th floor. ”
After that, he shook his head and sighed, "I only had four or five hundred employees in Haizhu at that time, on the 38th floor?" Even if you have a separate office for one person, you can't use it.
"Then why?" Qingyun was also a little stunned, this is indeed ...... It's anti-intellectual.
Shi Yuzhu glanced at him teasingly, "Where is your tax bureau in Jincheng?" ”
Qingyun suddenly realized.
To save, so rent a house.
Well, understandable.
This is normal, and it is definitely not okay for the yamen to repair the building indiscriminately.
Shi Yuzhu's face was as uncomfortable as eating a fly, "Later, Huating said that he wanted to build the tallest building in the country, so this building changed from 38 floors to 54 floors.
Not long after, Yangcheng had a new plan to build a 63-story skyscraper.
Someone suggested that I should win glory for Haizhu City, win the title of the tallest building in the country, and become a landmark building in Haizhu City.
Therefore, the Behemoth Mansion is like a golden hoop stick, and it becomes 72 floors when it is shouted 'big big' a few times. ”
He crossed his fingers and calculated, "In 92 years to build a research and development base, the funds I need are only tens of millions."
At that time, the assets of the giant beast group were more than 100 million, and the cash was more than 100 million.
It was within my ability to build a R&D base, and at that time, it was also for the purpose of going public, and others gave me the idea of adjusting the asset structure, so I moved this idea.
The cost of repairing the Giant Beast Building, which was originally planned for 12 floors, is only tens of millions, and I can still afford it.
38 floors, more than 200 million funds are needed, I gritted my teeth, and it is okay to live a hard life for two years, after all, the construction period is also two years, which is enough to pay back to repair. ”
Speaking of this, he slapped the table fiercely, "The 72-story building has a budget of 1.2 billion, and this gap is not something I can solve, or something that Behemoth Software can solve." ”
Qingyun understood, "So, the Behemoth Group then made computers, sold off-the-plan properties, and engaged in health care products...... The so-called diversification, in fact, you are still gambling on your life? ”
Shi Yuzhu was silent for a while, but shook his head, "It's not that I want to gamble on my life, but public opinion has pushed me to that position, and I can only gamble on my life." ”
Then he shrugged his shoulders, "This time, the bet is lost, it's as simple as that." ”
After that, he clasped his hands together and swayed his two index fingers on his nose, "Xiaoqing, a topic like 'national industry revitalization' will be stirred up every once in a while, in the present, and in the future."
It can be used as a wrapping coat, a slogan to seek public recognition and yamen support.
However, if it is the fundamental program for the development of a large enterprise, then the slightest carelessness is likely to lead you astray.
So, you must be cautious and not get carried away by the aura. ”
Qingyun smiled awkwardly, and Shi Yuzhu also smiled and gave him a roll of his eyes, "Forget it, you can understand it yourself." ”
"Uncle Shi, why didn't you take out a loan at that time? I've noticed that from the development to the collapse of the Behemoth Group, you haven't borrowed a penny from the bank. Qingyun still asked this question that had been puzzled for a long time.
At that time, there was a very loud saying that Shi Yuzhu lacked modern management thinking and lacked the necessary financial knowledge.
But this argument itself is untenable.
Different from those township entrepreneurs who became rich overnight without education, Shi Yuzhu was the first entrepreneur in the country to clearly put forward that 'management is also productivity'.
Monster Group is also the first modern enterprise in the real sense of the country, and has formed a unique management mechanism.
Qingyun's cheap father-in-law, Qin Tianchuan, also launched the transformation of a modern enterprise after seeing the model of the giant beast group.
Even, from a very early stage, Behemoth has been a very crisis-aware enterprise.
Just two months after the leader inspected the Behemoth Group in 92, Shi Yuzhu sounded the alarm of the crisis at the all-staff meeting.
Afterwards, the employee's memoirs also clearly wrote that Shi Yuzhu ruthlessly and straightforwardly analyzed the five hidden dangers of the giant beast group at that time:
The enthusiasm for entrepreneurship has basically disappeared, the disease of large enterprises has appeared, the management level is low, the product industry is single, and the scientific and technological research and development is insufficient.
How could such a far-sighted person make such a mistake.
During the most glorious period of the marketing of the giant beast group, the monthly market payment reached 50 million, and even exceeded 70 million in the later stage, and began to sprint towards the 100 million yuan mark.
With such a high cash inflow, he could have applied for a working capital loan to invest in the construction of the Behemoth Building, and then used the construction in progress section mortgage.
Under such an operation, although the completion of the Behemoth Mansion is difficult, it will not be said to drag down the entire Behemoth Group.
Facing Qingyun's question, Shi Yuzhu smiled bitterly for a while, "Are you trying to criticize my 'zero debt theory'?" ”
Qingyun shook his head, "What you talked about today, Uncle Shi, and the information I collected from newspapers and periodicals before are completely two different concepts, and I think there must be a reason behind this." ”
Shi Yuzhu sneered again and again, "Newspapers? Ha ha! ”
That look, just like Xie Xun met Cheng Kun, he went crazy.
It took him half a day to recover, "Those people aren't even as good as bitches." ”
He took a sip from his teacup, "How much they praised me back then, how much they fell into the well during the monster crisis. ”
After that, he shook his head, "It's not that the monster crisis can't be overcome, in that year, I resumed production and sales several times, but they were all disrupted by the tracking reports of that group of reporters.
Every time there is a report, it will cause a group of backbone people to leave, and a group of debt collectors will come to the door, and this process will become a vicious circle, so that I will eventually be unable to recover. ”
Speaking of this, Shi Yuzhu smiled sadly, "Do you know what the editor-in-chief of an economic newspaper said to me when I turned over and paid off my debts?
He said, 'Mr. Shi, we are also reflecting afterwards whether the media was too uncalm back then. ’”
Qing Yunben said to him, 'It's not as good as a bitch', and he was a little sideways, but when he heard this, he also understood.
