Chapter 231 The Domineering Xinghai Group!
Xinghai Construction Company currently has a design department, and Xinghai Plaza has multiple design templates. Based on the area, shape, city, and local conditions, it is enough to slightly modify the appearance of the design plan. There is no need to redesign every Xinghai Plaza.
In this way, a lot of design time is saved and the project progress is much faster.
After the design plan was drawn up, it was finally reviewed by Fang Bai. Fang Bai was afraid that his employees would design nondescript works, such as the blue and white porcelain Wanda Plaza.
Fang Bai thinks it’s fine if it’s in line with public aesthetics, there’s no need to be unconventional.
The construction company will help with the specific procedures related to the start of construction, and Fang Bai will sign.
He felt relaxed, but the people below were busy with his one or two words.
After finishing this work, Fang Bai went to the technology company to ask general manager Li Xiaoyu how the recent VCD sales were.
Li Xiaoyu was busy when he saw the chairman coming to his office to ask about VCD sales. He stood up, crossed his hands in front of his abdomen, and said respectfully and carefully: "Chairman, the current domestic daily shipment volume is stable at around 15,000 units, slightly. There is a decline.
Exports are rising rapidly, and the combined daily sales of various countries and regions have reached more than 2,000 units. This is mainly due to the increase in reputation and influence.
Pirated CDs have become popular, and there are also video parlors, which have a great impact on sales. "
He admired the chairman very much. Going abroad to directly monopolize decoding chips was a very smart move. Otherwise, there would be many counterfeiters.
If you can’t buy a chip, it’s a waste of time to imitate it!
It's so cool to kill everyone.
Every time Li Xiaoyu thought of this trick, he was shocked, it was so amazing.
The chairman's vision is the best in the world. Li Xiaoyu thought that he would never think of doing this. It would require a lot of capital to negotiate with Scoop. He didn't know what the chairman had discussed with Scoop.
Therefore, it is generally accepted that the outside world thinks that the chairman is a business genius, and Li Xiaoyu is not the only one who thinks so.
In addition, if there were not a large inventory of VCD machines, the production capacity would not be able to keep up.
The chairman is gambling, playing a big game of chess. Since the listing, that is the closing time. He has won and is now making a lot of money.
I don’t know how many bosses in the outside world are jealous of this VCD cake, but they just can’t get in. They don’t have to worry too much about copycat machines now.
Li Xiaoyu graduated from an Ivy League school with an MBA and his undergraduate degree was from Jiaotong University. He thinks that his business methods are quite shrewd, but compared with the chairman, he feels that he is still far behind in terms of global strategy.
After he finished speaking, his eyes were firm and focused, meeting his boss's eyes from time to time.
After hearing this, Fang Bai knew what was going on. He nodded slightly and said, "The VCD machine is just a transitional product. I expect it will only have a lifespan of a few years. The research and development of new DVD products must keep up. No company or product will ever decline."
"Ok, I see."
Li Xiaoyu held his breath, listened carefully, and then replied seriously, he very much agreed with this.
The sales of VCD machines are booming. In fact, they are jumping on the trend and flying directly, but they will always land.
Li Xiaoyu saw that the chairman was about to leave again. He suddenly remembered something and asked politely: "Chairman, there are two media reporters who want to interview you. They are probably about VCD machines. The company's products are selling like hotcakes."
Fang Bai stopped, turned around and smiled: "It's not convenient for me to show up right now. If it's convenient for you, you can speak on behalf of the technology company. We focus on making money silently."
"I understand. If I accept an interview, I will at most promote the VCD machine." Li Xiaoyu nodded respectfully and watched the chairman leave.
The company's profits are good, and he hopes to get dividends next year, so he has to work hard.
…
Ugly Country, Los Angeles.
Hu Biao, the owner of Aido Electric Co., Ltd., came to Chouguo in person and temporarily rented two international business people who were familiar with the situation in Los Angeles.
I made an appointment to meet with the president of Scoop Company, but he said he was unavailable.
Hu Biao felt very humble. He did feel as if he was insulted by being rejected, but what else could he do? If someone else begged him, it would not be the same as humiliating him.
He understands this truth, so when his relatives come to Los Angeles, they visit him in person and stay with him until he is the CEO.
In fact, he didn't know that President Scoop was Chinese-American Sun Yan, and thought he was a foreigner. After all, he had never been in contact with or seen relevant news.
After being denied an appointment, two days later, Hu Biao brought his business staff to the door in person. This time he finally met Sun Yan.
When he found out that the other party was of Chinese descent, Hu Biao looked pleasantly surprised and thought there was a turn for the better.
Sun Yan met the guest and after asking, she found out that they were coming from China. When the other party said that Aido Company wanted to purchase decoding chips, she sighed and shook her head: "Sorry, Boss Hu, we don't have the goods, so your trip was in vain. ”
When Hu Biao heard people speaking Chinese, he was able to communicate in person. He first expressed his respect, and then said very respectfully: "Mr. Sun, it is rare to meet a Chinese in a foreign country. I would like to invite you to have dinner with me. Is there any chance?"
Seeing his groveling and flattering appearance, Sun Yan had seen him too many times, and said with a smile: "Boss Hu, I'm very sorry, I've been busy recently.
I will also invite you if I have time.
Regarding the chips, I am very helpless. Not only your company, but no less than a hundred companies have consulted us. If there were goods that could be sold, I would have sold them long ago. I also want to make money, are you right? "
"Mr. Sun, given your company's situation, it shouldn't be a problem to misappropriate 10,000 or 20,000 chips. You can raise the price as you wish."
Sun Yan frowned. Seeing that he still didn't give up, she curled her lips and couldn't help but smile: "It's rare for you to come and I can tell you directly. It's not about the price."
It was very uncomfortable to be rejected. Hu Biao took a deep breath and said sincerely: "Whatever price Xinghai Group is willing to pay, our company can pay a higher price."
He can accept the first purchase of 10,000 chips, even if it costs thirty or forty dollars a chip.
No matter how large the amount is, too much money will be misappropriated. Besides, no money has been made yet. Who dares to invest so much at one time.
When Sun Yan heard this, she felt that this person really didn't know the heights of the world. She couldn't help but sneered: "Haha, can your company afford a one-time payment of US$50 million?"
"Mr. Sun is really good at joking. Who can afford this price? Even Xinghai Group can't afford it. How can such cooperation be possible?" Hu Biao smiled bitterly. He couldn't even get five million U.S. dollars, let alone 50 million U.S. dollars. come out.
When Sun Yan said this, he felt humiliated.
He secretly scolded Sun Yan: If you don't want to cooperate, there's no need to embarrass him like this.
"I'm not kidding you, it's fifty million dollars!"
Sun Yan's smile faded and she replied solemnly. She didn't want to ask him for a breakup fee of tens of millions of dollars, nor did she want to admit that Xinghai Group had cooperated with him, even if others knew about it.
He was not familiar with Hu Biao and their social levels were different, so why should he tell him so much.
Buying 10,000 or 20,000 chips seems like a lot, and he is really not interested.
I can't afford this price and still want to compete with Xinghai Group, which is a bit overestimating my capabilities.
After finishing speaking, seeing that he was silent and slightly dissatisfied, Sun Yan said rudely: "Mr. Hu, I still have some things to deal with, so I won't entertain you."
Hu Biao forced a smile, nodded and left Sun Yan's office.
After he left the gate of Scoop Company, he finally couldn't help but yelled: "This is too much! What a shame!"
After a few curse words, he looked decadent.
The businessman who followed him saw Hu Biao gnashing his teeth and angry, so he could only comfort him: "Boss Hu, it's obvious that he is talking like a lion."
Hu Biao didn't know where he lost. He was clearly offering double the price, but he was unwilling to sell. There was no way he could make money without selling.
The asking price is $50 million, what a joke.
No matter how rich Xinghai Group is, they will not regard this as a prerequisite, so how can they be so stupid?
I still dislike him for buying too little. Then if the business is good, I can continue to purchase goods.
Hu Biao is unwilling to admit failure, otherwise the company would not have reached the scale of success it has achieved now.
In the next few days, he asked business people to contact Scoop employees, spend money when it was necessary, and finally figured out one thing.
His Xinghai Group has basically secured Scobo's decoding chips. Scobo still owes six to seven million chips that have not yet been delivered, and the penalty for breaking the contract is very high.
There are also additional clauses that prohibit the sale of decoding chips to Chinese companies to manufacture VCDs, not even one.
This time, Hu Biao felt convinced that he had lost.
"Boss Hu, Xinghai Group is too domineering and wants to monopolize the VCD market." The businessman reported. He admired Xinghai Group in his heart, but he still had to put in a good word for him in front of the sponsor.
Hu Biao paused and smiled bitterly: "No wonder people say that Fang Bai is a business genius. They have thought of this step for a long time. The VCD machine was independently developed by them and was the first to be put on the market. Of course, they don't want other competing companies.
Overbearing is overbearing. I just didn't expect that he was so courageous and could let Scoop Company fully support him. In the final analysis, I had less money and insufficient chips.
Forget it, go back to China and stop participating. It’s not easy to follow others and drink soup. "
Hu Biao thought that other domestic companies could not enjoy the VCD soup, and his mentality became somewhat balanced and he thought about it.
It’s really admirable that people have self-developed products that they know are easy to imitate, but they simply block the way to imitate them.
It is not so easy to get a sip of soup behind the capital giants.
Regarding Hu Biao's matter, Sun Yan called Fang Bai.
After hearing this, Fang Bai was secretly happy for his wise decision.
Three days later,
When Jiaotong University starts, Fang Bai will be a junior.
Last semester, apart from taking exams, he went to school only a handful of times.
He didn't even bother to take the CET-6 test. He wanted to go to graduate school and didn't need these things at all.
Whether you are studying at domestic graduate schools or overseas Ivy League schools, Fang Bai can go there.
Of course, graduate students from Ivy League schools are far from comparable to undergraduate students from Ivy League schools, and the difficulty of getting hired is not at the same level.
When the weather is mild in autumn, Fang Bai prefers outdoor sports and goes to school to play basketball more often.
On the first day of school, students in Class 3 of Mechanical Engineering held a class meeting and Hualian Supermarket planning meeting. Fang Bai attended when he had time.
There is only one meeting every semester, so you should listen to it, and besides, he is still the major shareholder.
Fang Bai walked into the classroom that everyone had agreed upon. Everyone applauded when they saw him arriving as promised.
Counselor Qin Xue also participated today, so she came over to take a look. She didn't have any dignity in front of Fang Bai. On the contrary, she was a little afraid of him. This guy pretended to have a bigger aura than her.
"The big boss is here, giggle." Qin Xue smiled flatteringly and greeted Fang Bai enthusiastically.
Fang Bai waved his hand and replied with a smile: "Teacher Qin, I haven't seen you for a while. She is becoming more and more beautiful as she grows older."
Qin Xue was very happy to be praised and touched her fat face: "Really?"
"You have to be more confident, don't you think so, classmates?" Fang Bai showed a sly smile to his classmates.
"yes!"
"Teacher Qin is getting more and more beautiful as she grows up!"
Of course the classmates around him said yes, and they praised him even more exaggeratedly than Fang Bai.
"Oh, you students are quite discerning." Qin Xue said narcissistically, just joking with the students.
After Fang Bai arrived, the class meeting officially began. The first thing was to run for class cadres.
There is still no one running for class president. Except for Fang Bai, the league secretary is the biggest. Zhang Li will continue to be the leader, Yang Tan will withdraw from the class committee, and the others will be the same as last semester.
Everyone is used to it and doesn’t want to argue anymore.
Yang Tan went to the school student union and became the vice president of the school student union.
In addition to the fact that the school youth league committee teacher valued his relationship with Fang Bai, Yang Tan himself was also very capable. He spent two years in social practice activities and personally discussed cooperation with leaders of each school.
In addition, Yang Tan himself also likes to work in camps. He has very strong communication skills and is a conspicuous person. The school also plans to let him stay in school to strengthen the relationship with Fang Bai and cooperate with students from other schools.
Yang Tan himself planned to pursue an official career in the future before enrolling in school, and his family also wanted him to take this path.
After the class committee election, the counselors talked about the study tasks for this semester, such as metalworking internship.
The metalworking internship is arranged in the school, and the off-campus internship is arranged in Xinghai Group.
No matter whether you want to engage in mechanics in the future or not, you must complete all required courses before graduation.
After talking about what happened this semester, the class meeting ended, and the counselor walked off the stage, leaving it to the students. She knew that these students were going to attack her again.
She also wanted to hear it. She usually went to Hualian Supermarket for shopping.
It just so happened that the department leaders also came over, and the time was calculated accurately.
After the leaders of the school said hello to Fang Bai, they sat down and listened to the entrepreneurship situation of this group of schools.
As usual, Zhang Li, beautifully dressed, walked to the podium.
Over the past two years, she has matured a lot in society. With money, her clothes have also changed and she looks more mature. She wears slim jeans and a small suit on her upper body, like an urban workplace beauty.
“Dear monitor, fellow school leaders and teachers, dear students, it’s time for another semester-long inventory, and I’m very honored to report on it.
Time passed quietly, two years have passed.
It has been nearly two years since Hualian Supermarket was established.
Through the efforts of all employees and the strong support of General Manager Fang, we currently have a total of 50 Hualian supermarkets in operation, and 5 new supermarkets are under construction. The monthly turnover can reach 10 million yuan, and full-time employees Reached 510 people.
In terms of fixed assets, we have four warehouses, one large truck, five small trucks, three Santana cars...
Hualian Supermarket continues to grow and develop. We will plan to have 65 supermarkets before New Year's Day in 1994. By the middle of next year, we will officially exceed 100 supermarkets and ensure stable business..."
At the beginning of the year, 28 supermarkets were in operation, and investment expenditures for expansion could not keep up with the profit growth rate.
In the past eight months, 22 new stores have been added, and the expansion rate has been much faster. There are still 30 to 40 million yuan in liquidity in the company's account, and more than 10 million yuan in disposable funds.
By the end of the year, it is estimated that there will be nearly 20 million yuan in free funds.
Last year, we only received one million yuan in dividends to help everyone have a good year.
If you have more money this year, you can share more.
The school leaders did not expect that these students could really make money, so Fang Bai simply won.
Open a student supermarket in a university, and you can earn a stable income every year.
With a random idea, they witnessed the development process of Hualian Supermarket, from an investment of 300,000 yuan to a monthly turnover of 10 million yuan. Next year, it is expected to exceed 20 million yuan, and there will be more in the future.
They also plan to go public to prepare funds to open a larger supermarket and plan a bigger business.
Fang Bai sat below and had to admire these students after listening. Hualian Supermarket was already better than Xinghai Mall in his hometown.
After Zhang Li reported, it was the turn of the three class committee members to report.
Finally, Fang Bai was asked to summarize and make suggestions. Fang Bai simply said a few words of encouragement, saying that we can prepare for listing next year and let everyone continue to work hard.
Going public is of course a way to make money, but also to seek greater development, and it does not conflict with the supermarket in Xinghai Plaza.
Hualian Supermarket is mainly for university circles. After going public to make money, more funds can be used to develop and layout Internet cafes.
The investment in computers is too big, and Hualian Supermarket’s profit rate alone is not enough, so it must be listed.
Fang Bai set up another Internet technology company to use the Internet cafe resources of Hualian Supermarket to incubate websites. This is the ultimate goal.
An Internet cafe platform can incubate many website platforms, and the money earned from listing is no worse than that of the Internet cafe itself.
As for other plans, there is no rush and we will work step by step. We will first make Hualian Supermarket a good job and then plan for the future.
After the class meeting, Fang Bai and his classmates went to the basketball court to play basketball.
The new class of students had just registered. I heard that the legendary Fang Bai was playing basketball on the basketball court, so I went to watch with curiosity.
The venue with the loudest cheers was definitely where Fang Bai was playing basketball.
Less than twenty minutes after Fang Bai left the field, students were already gathering around the field.
At this moment, Fang Bai had the illusion that he was a monkey performing for the audience.
He can shoot three-pointers accurately and can also dunk, which is especially admired by students who like to play basketball.
It is also a nine-year compulsory education. Why is Fang Bai so good?
"It turns out that Fang Bai can also play basketball! I thought there was nothing special about him except that he was great at making money."
When the senior heard the freshmen's curiosity, he explained with a sense of superiority that he knew everything: "I know a lot. I skip classes every day and have the best grades. Junior girls, let's see it slowly."
"Wow, from today on, Fang Bai is my idol."
Well-informed freshmen have heard of Fang Bai, but there are still many students who don't know about him and have never heard of him.
Information is closed in many areas, and they are too busy studying to have time to watch TV or read newspapers.
These freshmen will also ask: "Is Fang Bai famous? Is it because he is handsome and plays basketball well?"
Hearing these words, the senior students around him couldn't help laughing.
"Not only is he famous, the principal will give him a cigarette respectfully when he sees him."
"It's not just the principal, it's probably the same as the leaders of the city government."
The new students who didn't know why were confused. Could it be that Fang Bai was the son of a powerful official?
As they continue to inquire and learn more about Fang Bai, the new students are constantly being refreshed in their understanding, which is so shocking.
Especially when I heard that students in his class started their own businesses and all of them made a fortune.
"Senior, is it too urgent to hold Fang Bai's thigh now?"
"It's too late, but the problem is that it's not easy to hold. Who doesn't want to be held? You have to have a chance to chat with them."
Hearing this, the freshmen felt that it was indeed difficult. When Fang Bai was resting, several strong men gathered around him, preventing other students from approaching or disturbing him.
I heard that my house was broken into and robbed by gangsters. The students all understood that they had such capital.
Fang Bai was so famous that in less than two days, the freshmen knew that Jiaotong University had such an outstanding figure.
On September 5th,
Several foreigners came to Huaguo Xinghai Group and met Fang Bai.
These people are Simons and his team from Xinghai International Investment Company. As usual, they come to Hua Country from time to time to report to Fang Bai.
It has been five months since Fang Bai returned to China from Chou Country in early April.
Originally, fund managers were required to report to Hua Guo every quarter, while other staff were required to report to him every six months.
Fang Bai just asked Simmons to come with him in early September. (End of chapter)
