Chapter 308: Opening up the second battlefield
After arranging the affairs of the capital, Guan Haiyang flew to Yangcheng on the weekend.
"Are you in business, or are you in the underworld?"
Ashley questioned his soul as soon as he saw him.
"The last time I saw you with your head broken, this time I saw you with your arm broken......"
"Stop ......"
Guan Haiyang immediately interrupted the other party's statement.
"Your expression is very problematic. The last time I was plotted and hit on the curb of the road. This time I was trying to save my classmates, and I scratched my arm, and it was okay if my arm wasn't broken! ”
"I've never seen a big boss like you, don't you understand if a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall!"
Ashley's concluding remarks were exactly the same as Fan's.
The two stayed in the office for a quick meal, and then went straight to the office floor they rented in the center of Yangcheng.
The office area is not large, after all, the project has not started yet, but it is only in the preliminary preparation stage, and there is no need for so many people.
Ashley occupies one of the best corners of the view, with floor-to-ceiling glass and windows on both sides.
Looking out from the height of the 28th floor, you can almost see most of the urban area in the southeast of Yangcheng, and the line of sight is excellent.
"How about I prepare a place for you here?"
The office is about 40 square meters, and it is more than enough to place two desks.
Guan Haiyang shook his head: "I don't come here to work, why do you want a position!" You can arrange a place for Brother Du, he often has to run around the city, and it would be good to have a place to rest here. ”
"It's been arranged a long time ago, it's right next door, and he likes it very much." Ashley gave Guan Haiyang a glass of boiling water.
Guan Haiyang's habit is to drink boiled water, whether it is tea, coffee or drinks, none of which are on his list of preferences.
Ashley had worked with him for a long time, so he knew the little details.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the lights of the city, Guan Haiyang was somewhat emotional.
Nearly ten months have passed since I was reborn in this era.
From the beginning, he traveled between Jiangcheng and Yangcheng with his clothes on his back, and later took an adventure with Du Xia, grabbed food in Hu Laowu's mouth, and befriended the golden dragon.
With a start-up capital of 10 million, it is also a small achievement to achieve this level step by step.
But the business layout in his mind is just the beginning.
Just like the bustling lights in front of you, the only place covered by the lights today is the center of the city.
In later generations, the entire Pearl River Delta region was lit up by the city's lights at night, which could be regarded as the real peak of the times.
His business territory is not yet stable, at least until the automobile factory is actually established, and it can be regarded as having the first core industry.
But he wasn't in a hurry.
The industry is not only a car, but also Xiangzhou Gree, which will go tomorrow, is also an important piece of the puzzle.
He is now like a little hamster who is constantly stocking up on treasures, carrying all kinds of treasures from place to place little by little.
These treasures have not yet radiated their due brilliance, but in time they will surely burst into a sky that will shock the entire era.
Early the next morning, the two came to Xiangzhou.
He drove a car specially equipped for Ashley.
As a shareholder of the company, you have to negotiate business with the government, and you don't have your own car.
Guan Haiyang approved 500,000 yuan to equip the company with an Audi A6.
Usually it is Ashley's car, but Guan Haiyang became his car when he came.
In 1991, air conditioners were fashionable, and there was no shortage of sales.
At this time, there are many domestic air conditioning manufacturers, but the leader in the industry is definitely Chunlan, followed by Huabao.
Kelon, Midea, Haier, Aucma, Yangtze and other brands followed.
In front of these old-timers, Gree definitely didn't start early.
His predecessor was Haili Air Conditioner in Xiangzhou.
In the era of dividends, Hailey actually collapsed himself, which shows how big its internal problems are.
Guan Haiyang and Ashley came to the newly established Gree Company, and Zhu Jiang began to pour bitter water.
"When an air conditioner is produced and delivered to a customer, half of the copper pipes are broken. I sent all the front-line production workers to do repairs, but they couldn't put out the fire in time. ”
It is said that if you want to attract investment, you should not expose your shortcomings.
If you say that your own business is worthless, who else will inject capital.
But Zhu Jiang is different, he understands the problem with his own products.
"I'm here at Haili Air Conditioner, oh, it should be called Gree Air Conditioner now. I've been here for half a year, and I've sorted out all the problems, and I can solve the technical and management problems.
But the problem on the equipment needs to be solved by funding...... As long as the problem of the equipment can be solved, the quality of Gree air conditioner can definitely be greatly improved in a short time. ”
Zhu Jiang talked eloquently, he has confidence in his own business, and he also has confidence in products.
Even if no one solves his financial problems now, he can bring the company out of trouble, but it will take a little longer.
Guan Haiyang had no doubt about Zhu Jiang's strength.
As early as the early eighties, he started from a grassroots worker and brought the Baise Mining Machinery Factory into a provincial star enterprise.
Later, Zhu Jiang moved to Xiangzhou, and in just one year, he revitalized the plastic factory that was on the verge of bankruptcy.
In later generations, it only took him less than four years to achieve the scale of Gree air conditioner on the market.
There is such a strong man to control the overall development of the company, and Miss Dong, who is still working hard in the East China market and has not shown her edge, reserves strength for the company's second stage of development.
It is difficult for such a company not to be strong.
Ashley felt that it would take too long for the investment in Gree to pay off.
But Guan Haiyang doesn't see it that way.
At present, there are only large and medium-sized enterprises as buyers in the air conditioning market for the time being, and Gree's basic customers can only be concentrated in the B-end.
Even in such an environment, air conditioners are still fashionable and sought-after.
When the residential air conditioning market matures in the future, C-end customers will begin to exert force, coupled with the rapid development of the domestic real estate market for 20 years.
Gree's spring will truly come.
A long return on capital cycle is not a bad thing at all, and it is not a low rate of return!
B2B business margins are not much higher than those of B2C.
Buying an air conditioner in this era is similar to buying a car.
Cars that sold for 200,000 yuan in later generations sold for more than 200,000 yuan or even more in the 90s.
Considering the price level at that time, the profit margin was conceivable.
The same goes for air conditioners, after the millennium, three or five thousand yuan can buy a good air conditioner.
But in the 90s, families had to prepare 10,000 yuan to start with air conditioning, not to mention corporate air conditioners, and the price was even more outrageous.
With such a high price, the profit will naturally not be bad.
As long as it survives the development stage of the initial competition of a hundred schools, the big cow will continue to provide a large amount of cash support for Guan Haiyang.
At its peak, the market value of Gree air conditioner exceeded 500 billion.
In later generations, one of Gree's strongest points is that its cash flow has always been quite abundant.
Even in the context of the global market recession, people can casually take out nearly 160 billion in cash.
It's just a god!
What Zhu Jiang lacks is just a little bit of start-up capital to help him tide over the difficulties.
Guan Haiyang has exactly this spare money.
Zhu Jiang, who finished introducing the current situation of the company, looked at Guan Haiyang and Ashley.
So far, he hasn't figured out who has the final say between these two.
He has been in contact with Ashley all along, and today the other party said that his boss was coming.
But Zhu Jiang didn't expect her boss to be so young.
I don't know if this young man understood after talking for a long time.
Zhu Jiang muttered in his heart.
Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as you can pay for it.
