Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1716 Survival of the Fittest
"Everyone sit down!" Seeing this, Duan Yun said to everyone with a smile on his face.

Duan Yun is actually a very nostalgic person. Even with his current wealth and achievements, he is still very close to his old friends. It is precisely because of this that after Xiao Qiang and others came to invite him, Duan Yun did not hesitate. I agreed.

In fact, although these people's net worth is far inferior to Duan Yun's, after all, these people are the bosses of his subordinate companies, and Duan Yun has such a great influence in Shenzhen's business circles, Xiao Qiang and others are also indispensible , helped Duan Yun deal with many small and chores, and was always a die-hard supporter of Duan Yun in various chambers of commerce and other activities held by the SZ city government, so that any suggestion made by Duan Yun would have a response effect.

"Mr. Duan, thank you for being so kind to us today that you can attend our banquet. Speaking of which, we haven't seen Mr. Duan for a while..." Zhou Jianglong also hurriedly made his debut at this time.

"We are all friends, so there is no need to say these outlandish words. When I came to Shenzhen to start a business, I asked you to help me. In the past two years, our gatherings have indeed decreased, but the main reason is that I now have a stall. There are more and more people driving, and there are more things to deal with, here I will punish myself first." Duan Yun said, holding up the glass in front of him.

"President Duan is too polite, let's toast you first."

Although it was said that Duan Yun would punish himself with a glass of wine, no one could really punish Duan Yun with wine, so they raised their glasses one after another, and drank it down in one gulp.

"I think everyone knows that our group has newly developed a product called VCD, and there are a lot of orders now, so I plan to subcontract part of the product assembly work..." At this time, Duan Yun had put down his wine glass, Then he said: "I still say the same old saying, if you have money, everyone can earn it together, but you must not earn some bad money against your conscience. I have always valued the Tianyin Group as a brand. If the quality of your products is poor, put If my signboard is smashed, then I can only smash your jobs..."

"No, no, Mr. Duan, don't worry!"

As soon as Duan Yun finished speaking, everyone's heads shook like drums.

"Everyone has worked with me for many years, and I trust you very much. I believe that you will definitely not do such a stupid thing." Seeing this, Duan Yun showed a peaceful smile on his face, and only heard him continue: "In addition, I I want to tell you that your current enterprise is getting bigger and bigger, but you can't just focus on the immediate interests and ignore the long-term development. I told you a long time ago that an enterprise without its own core technology is doomed You can only work for others for the rest of your life, but judging from the current situation, your respective technology research and development are not ideal, and you even pay little attention to it, which is obviously wrong..."

Hearing what Duan Yun said, they all lowered their heads like a poor student receiving a lecture from a teacher.

As Duan Yun said, Xiao Qiang and others have made a lot of money relying on the orders provided by Tianyin Group over the years, but they have also formed dependence for a long time, thinking that technology development can only be done by big companies. It has nothing to do with their small company. Without the pressure of survival, they are naturally unwilling to invest in product research and development.

Moreover, compared to hiring skilled workers who earn several hundred yuan for a few months, excellent technicians earn more than one thousand yuan a month. As for the investment in R&D projects, it seems more like a bottomless pit. No one knows whether it will succeed, but it needs continuous Throw money in.

It is precisely because of this that several subsidiaries of Tianyin Group have no investment in research and development at all, and they are more concerned about the immediate order.

"The times are developing, and only you people are the same." Duan Yun sighed lightly, and then said: "The main reason why I talked about product research and development today is that the technology level of my company's products is getting better and better. Gao, although I can still provide you with some orders in the past two years, I estimate that in another one or two years, with the current technical level of your respective companies, it may be difficult to get orders from me again. Be mentally prepared..."

Facing Xiao Qiang and the others, Duan Yun's words were quite straightforward.

The threshold for VCD product assembly and processing is not high at present. Xiao Qiang and other companies are fully capable of processing and producing them. However, if they are allowed to help produce 486 computers, DVDs, MP3 and other technically more difficult products in the future, I'm afraid there is nothing you can do, even if you can get an order, it's just processing some chores with simple technology and low profits.

In fact, in the past, Duan Yun didn't care whether these subsidiaries engaged in technology research and development, because if they did not engage in research and development, they would have no impact on Tianyin Group, and would only rely more and more on Tianyin Group. Duan Yun's interests.

But I'm afraid things will be different in the future, because Duan Yun has always regarded these outsourcing companies as a means to expand production capacity, but as the technical threshold of electronic products produced by his group is getting higher and higher, it exceeds the threshold of these subordinates. If the production capacity of shareholding enterprises is limited, then if Duan Yun wants to increase production capacity, Duan Yun can only hand over the orders to joint ventures and foreign companies with stronger technical strength. It can also be used as the starting price to increase the OEM fee very high, thus affecting the profit of the product.

So what Duan Yun said by saying this is that he hopes they can keep up with the technological development of Tianyin Group, so as to advance and retreat with Tianyi Group.

"I think Mr. Duan is right. We used to live too comfortably. Now that the times are developing so fast, if we don't improve our ability to eat, we will be eliminated sooner or later!" At this time, He Shufen was the first to agree. .

"Mr. Duan, those of us are not from a technical background. We only know how to manage people and talk about business. We don't know much about technical matters." Funds, but sometimes lack of direction, I hope Mr. Duan can give us some guidance..."

"There is no problem with guidance. I can send some technicians to your respective factories to guide and give you a direction for research and development. The rest depends on your own efforts." At this time, Yunyun raised his wine glass and said: "In Here I would like to offer a toast to everyone, and I would also like to thank everyone for their support over the years, but I must remind you of some things, whether you are doing business or doing business, you must take a long-term perspective. I hope that when we meet again in a few years, everyone present You can still sit with me instead of fading into my memory..."
