Chapter 89: The Shenzhen Conference (3)

Yin Jie pressed the feeling in his heart and reminded the entrepreneurs of the delegation of country S that in half an hour, it was time for everyone to leave for a corporate visit. She immediately found Diane Hui, made an appointment with her for dinner, and went to her to find her, and the two had a good chat.

In the afternoon, I want to visit Huazhi Group, one of the business cards of Shenzhen enterprises.

Founded less than 30 years ago, it is now one of the world's leading information and communication technology (ICT) solutions providers.

In the pre-event meeting last night, Yin Jie had already distributed a list of key Chinese companies participating in the Shenzhen meeting to the delegation, as well as a brief introduction of the six companies that will be visited. At this time, everyone entered the conference room of Huazhi Group and sat down, waiting for the participants of Huazhi Group, almost everyone was re-reading and reviewing these materials.

Why? Because Huazhi Group is so successful!

Huazhi Group is a private enterprise focusing on the field of ICT (information and communications technology) infrastructure, providing integrated ICT products and solutions to customers in the fields of government and public utilities, finance, energy, power and transportation, helping customers improve communication, office and production efficiency while reducing operating costs.

By the end of 2012, Huazhi has set up branches or representative offices in 100 countries around the world, and has built technical research institutes, innovation centers and product service centers in the Americas, Europe and Asia that match the regional advantages of each country.

Among China's private enterprises, Huazhi Group has the largest R&D team, ranking first in R&D expenditure every year, and of course, ranking first in the patent achievements obtained.

If that's not enough, here's a look:

Huazhi Group's products and solutions have been widely used in more than 170 countries around the world, serving 45 of the world's top 50 operators!

Huazhi Group has entered the list of Fortune Global 500. According to authoritative predictions, this year or next year will steadily surpass Ericsson, the world's largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer!

... ...

In addition to electronic product manufacturers and distributors, there are also companies engaged in chip design and manufacturing, as well as solution providers focusing on data backup, who are particularly interested in Huazhi Group.

Ms. Sun Changfang, Chairman of Huazhi Group, and Xu Zhiqiang, Vice President in charge of overseas business, walked into the conference room.

Sun Changfang is a lady in her fifties with a delicate face and a slightly rounded figure but elegant manners. Together with the unruly personality and the pioneering CEO Mr. Lu, she is known as the "Huazhi Double Star" by the outside world. Although this middle-aged woman with an elegant appearance joins hands with Chen Fenghan of Pearl Group to enter the list of "50 Powerful Women in Asian Business" every year, the outside world is not impressed by her. What people remember is Mr. Lu's various inspirational stories, and many people think that the reason why she is on the list is just to stain the rapid development of Huazhi. In fact, Mr. Sun, an engineer, has made great contributions to Huazhi:

All Huazhi people know that among all the departments of Huazhi, the three departments of marketing, R&D and human resources have contributed the most. Sun Changfang is in charge of human resources and market, and the market system and human resources system of Huazhi Group have been forged by her, with a deep Sun brand.

Few people can understand that what frightens competitors the most is not entirely the technological advantages of Huazhi Group, but its strict market system. Relying on this system, under the condition that the technology is similar to that of its opponents, Huazhi can always gain greater advantages through the market.

The human resources system established by her has a very scientific attitude towards the "selection, training, use and retention" of talents. As a result, Huazhi Group has achieved obvious advantages over competitors in the construction of talent team, and has quickly established its position as the leading leader in China's communication manufacturing industry after 1996.

She is eloquent and personable, and her sincere and changeable external coordination has contributed to the good development environment of Huazhi Group.

... ...

Whose light does such an outstanding woman need?

Sun Changfang's sober understanding and foresight of the development of the communications industry have greatly influenced the thinking of the senior management of Huazhi Group, including Mr. Lu. She proposed "the prerequisites for the prosperity of the communications manufacturing industry", "equipment suppliers can only survive if operators win profits and win viability." So, former competitors can become partners. Therefore, Huazhi has maintained cooperation with operators and even industry peers in the continuous development, and has successfully strengthened itself in the cooperation.

Yin Jie has visited Huazhi Group many times, but this is the first time she has really met Sun Changfang. Previously, she had contact with many senior management personnel of Huazhi Group, including senior management of the group and heads of various product divisions. She knows that Mr. Sun's management style is gentle, delicate, and balanced, which is completely different from the vigorous and resolute Mr. Lu.

Xu Zhiqiang, who is in charge of overseas business, looks about 40 years old, with a well-proportioned figure, well-dressed, and very particular about his words, but often in one sentence, because Huazhi's European headquarters is in the United Kingdom, he is based in the United Kingdom, and Shenzhen in the United Kingdom runs at both ends, and a small team is set up on each side to assist him in his work.

After Erdmann introduced the investment policies and preferential conditions of Haosen State, Xu Zhiqiang also gave a brief introduction to the current situation of Huazhi Group.

Huazhi Group has initially built a global market network and R&D platform: the marketing departments in various countries put forward R&D needs, the top experts in Europe and the United States design the product architecture, the production base in China is responsible for hardware production, and the branch in India is responsible for software development, and then sell through the global market network of Huazhi.

In the subsequent exchange, Chairman Sun Changfang introduced the system reform, compliance transformation, and employee ethics of Huazhi Group in a very targeted manner:

First of all, when it comes to system reform, the characteristic of Huazhi Group that everyone in the business community praises is "dare to be the first in the world". In the 90s of the last century, as the first "crab eater" in China, Huazhi Group hired a number of consulting companies in Europe and the United States to thoroughly sort out its own R&D, supply chain, human resources, financial management, and market system, and then carry out reforms, and construct almost the same system and process as European and American enterprises, which played an extremely important role in the smooth entry of Huazhi into the European and American markets and the recognition of customers in the later period.

Secondly, Huazhi is the first private enterprise in China to start compliance transformation. Its legal team has worked with large law firms around the world to conduct in-depth research on the laws of various countries, especially the laws of the United States (for reasons that everyone knows), and based on the research results, it has formulated the Guidelines for Overseas Business Development of Enterprises, ensuring that all corporate actions of the Huazhi Group in all countries are compliant. Although this cost a lot of money and manpower, and even led to the loss of some projects, it fundamentally eliminated the legal risks of overseas business activities, which is of great significance to the long-term development of Huazhi in the future.

Finally, there is a special organization called the "Ethics Compliance Committee" within Huazhi, whose main function is to guide and regulate the active adaptation and integration of Huazhi employees in terms of language, customs, religion, and even living habits. On this basis, it stipulates the code of conduct for Huazhi employees to enter the overseas markets.

This part of the introduction completely refreshed the stereotype of foreign companies on Chinese enterprises, and almost detonated the audience. Entrepreneurs scrambled to raise their hands to speak...

The meeting went very smoothly and enthusiastically. As Yin Jie expected, Sun and Xu did not make their investment intentions clear. But judging from the direction of their inquiry, they should be interested in setting up a financial control center.

After the meeting, Mr. Xu will guide everyone to visit the various business divisions of Huazhi Group. Sun Changfang shook hands with everyone at the door of the conference room and said goodbye in turn. When Yin Jie held her soft and warm palm, he recalled the evaluation of Huazhi employees about her:

"Mr. Sun is very delicate and pays special attention to details, and she will find out when the details go wrong. ”

"Mr. Sun has a hot temper, and once he starts criticizing you, it's like a storm, and he can't find a chance to speak at all. ”

... ...

Without her and Ms. Lu's strong and strict management, how could Huazhi Group develop into the world's second largest mobile device supplier in such a short period of time?

***

On the way back to the hotel after the visit, the entrepreneurs were still excited, eagerly discussing what they had seen at Huazhi Group today. Several companies specializing in communication equipment and engineering were even more smiling. These discussions continued until dinner.

Flora's dinner for the delegation was Yunnan cuisine. After each person had a small set of dishes, Yin Jie was whispering something to Erdmann. After a while, he raised his head and found that an entrepreneur had already picked up a thin slice of raw meat with chopsticks and was eating! Yin Jie quickly stopped it.

The other party looked up in amazement, but still swallowed the raw meat in his mouth.

Yin Jie said with a smile: "How does it taste? This is a special food in an ethnic minority area in China, and it tastes better if you eat it in the right way." ”

At this time, the waiter brought another large bowl of chicken soup. The people of the S country who were sitting were a little surprised to see such a big bowl. Yin Jie hurriedly introduced: "Don't look at the surface without heat, the chicken soup in this bowl is very hot." How high is it? It's enough to cook the dishes in a small dish. So you must pay attention when you touch it. ”

Because these bowls are so large, no one tries to pick them up and drink the soup. Thankfully, the risk of burns is avoided.

At this time, Flore also came to his senses, took over the conversation and began to talk about the allusion of rice noodles across the bridge.

Summer found the waiter to urge the food. It's clear that these entrepreneurs are already hungry.

Under Flora's guidance, the entrepreneurs ended up eating happily. In addition, there are some mushrooms and dairy products unique to Yunnan Province, which make everyone enjoy eating. Summer noticed that one of them hadn't touched the mushrooms at all, so she quietly added some green cabbage and bean curd and a serving of Yunnan wild vegetables. Sure enough, the frequency of the other party's chopsticks increased.

She quietly informed Flora.

Yin Jie saw it in his eyes, and he was very happy.
