Chapter 101: Cao Yongluo returns to China
After Zhou Xin's explanation, Cao Yongluo can understand Zhou Xin's approach very well, because if it were him, he would do the same.
No matter how good America is, it is not his homeland after all.
It is also important to note that even the second generation of Chinese Americans cannot be trusted, let alone the first generation of Chinese Americans.
With Cao Yongluo's family background, he has a lot of opportunities to communicate with overseas Chinese, and he is an executive sent to China by a multinational company.
From these people's mouths, Cao Yongluo knew that it was difficult for Chinese Americans to be trusted, and there would be a natural ceiling in the promotion mechanism of Ameriken.
This ceiling is very thick and very difficult to break.
In 1999, there was not a single Chinese CEO in the Ameriken 500 companies, and there were very few Chinese executives.
In 1999, Yahoo was not counted as a Fortune 500 company by most statistics.
To explain, Yahoo is not a top 500 company in terms of revenue or profit, but a top 500 company in terms of market capitalization.
Cao Yongluo is a Tianlong native in China, and he can only be an ordinary person when he arrives at Ameriken, and he is even inferior to an ordinary person in some fields, which is obviously unacceptable to him.
Zhou Xin is another logic, Cao Yongluo has also analyzed Zhou Xin, he thinks that it is because the real world is an easy model for Zhou Xin.
It's too easy to achieve success in the worldly sense, and even if you start to squander it now, all kinds of squandering are enough to live a life of luxury.
Zhou Xin needs to find some higher goals, most of the Chinese people are influenced by thousands of years of traditional culture, and they will have the feelings of family and country.
Cao Yongluo believes that Zhou Xin's goal in life is to help Huaguo Technology achieve breakthroughs.
This is also very suitable for him to study in college.
Everyone has the same purpose, and they can also enjoy the benefits, what reason is there not to do it, Cao Yongluo thought.
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you do this part well, even if I am not in business, I will help you find the right person from the family to take care of this work."
"The main thing is that I can't decide a lot of things by myself, I need to pick up a bunch of relationships in my family, according to my character, I want to be an ordinary Yanjing person the most, isn't it good to drink and brag here every day?
Problem: I have enjoyed the resources that my family has given me, and I am bound to lose my freedom. From my understanding, starting a business with you must be much more interesting than writing materials in the system and having dinner every day.
That kind of dinner is really boring, every sentence needs to repeatedly guess what the other party's subtext is, and how I reply does not put the meaning on the table, but also allows him to read what I mean.
It's not human work. ”
Zhou Xin listened to it for the first time, although he had seen a lot of similar content on the Internet before, but it was the first time to hear someone who had experienced it.
The next generations will come out to show off the second generation who have lost their power and only wealth, and the things that have been exposed are also superficial, but when it comes to the core content, they will be cleaned up overnight without a trace.
It even made you wonder if this had happened.
In order to pass without a trace, Baidu took all the snapshots of Baidu.
Zhou Xin asked: "Do you have some autonomy or no autonomy at all?" ”
"Forget it, it doesn't matter, you haven't graduated yet, you can do this with me first, and if you don't do it later, just find someone to take over when the time comes."
Brothers have to settle accounts, we have known each other for so many years, we still have to talk about the distribution of interests.
You help me get the manufacturing end, I will give you the patent authorization of Matrix, including signing the supply contract, you can handle the production of Huaguo, and that company is yours.
In fact, I think that no matter what you do in the future, it is a good thing for you to have such a process, there is no bribery between us, just because I know you, we have a good relationship.
I need someone to help me with this, and I think you can do it well.
For you, you can think of the production of Matrix as a student project, which can expose you to the real logic of the business society.
Even if you become a civil servant in the future, this experience will help you negotiate more smoothly with entrepreneurs in the process of attracting investment, and you know what they need. ”
This is Zhou Xin's true feelings, many things can only be understood if you have started a business.
Zhou Xin didn't have much feeling when he was the exercise representative of America, he had more than 100,000 employees at ZTE, and its products were distributed in more than 100 countries around the world.
The numbers are staggering, but they are just numbers and lack a deeper level of understanding.
Including when he went to help ZTE mediate between Washington and Yanjing, Zhou Xin was doing this more for his own interests and for his career planning.
After starting their own business, more than 100 people are very difficult to manage, and everyone has their own ideas, especially the less high-end manufacturing industry of domestic semiconductors.
There are many classes involved, from returnee doctors to secondary school degree workers, from related households to small-town youth, and it is difficult for you to truly understand everyone's demands.
The front foot told you that you would do a good job here, hoping to learn something and make a big difference, and the back foot left the project before starting the project.
The first thing I do when I wake up every morning is how much money is spent on so many people's salaries, materials and consumables, and the summary is how long the cash flow can support burning.
At that time, Xinxin Technology had two main partners, one of which was SMIC, and once SMIC did not want their supply, Xinxin Technology would have to go out of business the next day.
It was in this entrepreneurial process that Zhou Xin gained a new understanding of his work in Washington, D.C., not only for ZTE, but also for more than 100,000 employees of ZTE and ZTE's upstream and downstream suppliers.
Supply chains are real, and they're not just concepts coined by economists.
Cao Yongluo silently typed a string of letters on the computer with a keyboard: Matrix.
"Okay, it just so happens that I'm going back for the summer vacation, and I'll start doing this when I get back."
Zhou Xin continued: "So what are you going to do about it?"
Cao Yongluo said without hesitation: "First set up a company to build the frame, and then go to Pengcheng to select products, and find factories to make accessories one by one."
With them, I expect it will take four months from factory proofing to final mass production.
However, it is difficult to say how fast Pengcheng is, and maybe it will take less time. ”
Zhou Xin: "And then there is the need to pay attention to confidentiality, to put it bluntly, we really don't have any technical content in this thing."
You don't need to be responsible for the specific assembly, you just need to send the parts over.
At that time, I will also package the parts together and sell them, and if the user needs to provide assembly services, the clerk will assemble them for him on the spot.
We need to make a time difference as much as possible to build the brand.
After the specific price is set, you tell me how much you need for the deposit, and I will pay you at that time. ”
Cao Yongluo refused: "No, after my inquiry is over, we will discuss a price."
And to put it bluntly, I don't need a deposit, those factories will do it for me, and even if I owe them money for a year or two, it's okay.
Of course I won't do this, but I've seen someone do this, and if he does this, he will go to someone else's company again, and the factory will have to treat him as an uncle.
I can't do this kind of thing. After we negotiated the price, we signed the contract according to this price, and then I took the contract and went to the bank for a loan.
We are cooperative, friends are friends, cooperation is cooperation, and I believe that you will not cheat me. ”
This is the benefit of having confidence, in other words, the family has no capital, and it is necessary to look ahead and backwards, and even press the assets of the whole family.
Like Cao Yongluo, after returning to Yanjing, he can easily complete the integration of resources.
After the final exam in June, Cao Yongluo's year-long exchange career came to an end, and he first went back to Yanjing to meet the people he should meet, and then began to work on the production of Matrix keyboard accessories.
"Long time no see, let's have a meal together in the old place?" After Cao Yongluo returned to Yan University to complete the procedures for exchange students, he returned to the familiar dormitory.
Because they had emailed Wang Wei and Li Li in advance that they would come back today, they were both waiting in the dormitory.
Li Li and Wang Wei hugged Cao Yongluo one by one, I missed it for a long time, and a big brother who likes to invite you to dinner is still a little unaccustomed to it.
"Go to the Yanjing Hotel to have a meal together, and then go to Shanghuiwang after eating?"
Wang Wei shook his head: "It's okay to eat, forget about the Internet, I still have to go to the library to study after eating." ”
Li Li nodded: "Me too." ”
Cao Yongluo teased: "Yo, what is this stimulating? Didn't you two like the Internet the most? Every day the library can't see you, so you can catch one by one in the computing center.
If the Internet quota in the computing center is used up, you have to borrow it from me and Zhou Xin. ”
Wang Wei said with helplessness in his tone: "Not only was I stimulated, but the whole class and even the whole school were stimulated.
Zhou Xin has been going to Ameriken for a long time, talking and laughing with Bill Gates, talking and talking with Yang Zhiyuan on business wars, and talking with Charlie Ross on TV talk shows.
Although Zhou Xin was very powerful when he was at Yan University, this kind of power is within the scope of what we can understand.
The first in the exam, who can enter Yan University, who is not the first in the class or even the first in the grade when he is in high school.
To study in Berkeley, to be honest, there have been seniors before, which is not unusual.
At most, undergraduate transfer is relatively rare.
I have been worth more than 10 billion yuan in a year, and the unit of calculation is still the dollar, which I have never heard of.
Our class one and Zhou Xin can't play each other, from the first year to the second year, and Zhou Xin has spoken no more than eight sentences to the study committee, and he wrote the book "Zhou Xin's Road to Success".
Do you know what he says about the book in his introduction? Zhou Xin's best friend during his time at Yan University. Wasn't Zhou Xin's best friend in Yan University the three of us?
This pure nonsense thing has sold hundreds of thousands of copies, let alone how many pirated copies there are. I don't know exactly how much money I made, but I haven't lived in the dormitory since I wrote the book. Wang Wei was indignant.
In the first chapter of today, I tried to write two more chapters, but now that I'm going out for activities, I may not be able to finish two chapters when I come back from watching a movie in the evening.
A pleasant weekend life is about to begin~
