Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 431 Wang An Computer Company
Ruan Tao is also a little worried. If they are not here, will they be able to manage this chain enterprise well? Now the market is mainly based on an agency system, and agents are carried out on a level-by-level basis. resistance.

It's just that Wei Dongzheng was very interested, so he didn't pour cold water on it, so let's try to open two restaurants first.

Weidong said: "We still need to find a way to purchase refrigerators, air conditioners, color TVs, microwave ovens, cooker hoods and other home appliance technologies. We will produce whatever we buy. We must also be large and comprehensive in the field of white goods A huge amount of money is invested in the research and development of new technologies, and it is necessary to be a global leader.”

Ruan Tao frowned and said, "Are we going to develop so many projects?"

It is okay if few projects are entered, but if so many projects are entered, it will involve too much energy and the management cost will be high.

Wei Dong said: "Then recruit more people, or directly acquire some companies. By the way, I will recruit some more assistants."

If Ruan Tao resigns, Wei Dong will first take on some management responsibilities. Qiuyu Group can be managed through Yan Li. After that, the newly established company can also be managed by himself. Find more assistants and see who is more capable. , and then promoted to the following company to be the general manager.

Ruan Tao said: "It's easy to recruit assistants, you just need to find Chairman Li Fuzhao, and you can only look slowly for the acquisition of home appliance technology."

Wei Dong asked: "Do you think it's okay to let Citigroup operate? It's nothing more than spending more money."

Ruan Tao said: "You don't have to worry about this, let's do some research on the market first, and if we can buy it directly, we will do it ourselves first."

It’s true that there is no rush, first get the washing machine and electronic calculator on the market, and only when you have a lot of cash in your hand can you wave a check to buy technology.

In fact, if you stand still and only use money to invest in a large number of companies such as Intel, AMD, Apple, Microsoft, Sohu, Cisco, Sina, Nokia, Qualcomm, etc., and wait for a high point to sell, you can also become the world's richest man. It's too boring. There are two big killers in the space, such as laptops and mobile phones, as well as intangible assets such as software stored on them.

Before, I thought that I would enroll in school soon, but Ruan Tao would retire someday and no longer manage the company. Why are there so many things now? Opening a home appliance supermarket and buying technology in Los Angeles is very exhausting. Things don't look complicated but there are more trivial matters.

Take the acquisition of home appliance technology as an example. It is necessary to judge the technology it has mastered. Whether it is only the technology or the acquisition together with the company, there are too many uncertainties in the middle, not to mention the magical organization of the trade union in the beautiful country, Wei Dong I don't want to involve too much energy, it is best to buy second-rate technology and return to Xiangjiang to conduct research and development on this basis.

Wei Dong said: "The acquisition of technology can be slowed down. We first set up home appliance chain supermarkets to cover Los Angeles, and after dealing with these home appliance manufacturers, we also have some understanding of their technology, and then it is better to negotiate with the manufacturers."

This is indeed a safe way. It is better to learn more about the current home appliance industry with your heart, and to be able to know what to buy before buying technology.

Ruan Tao said: "That's the decision. First, get the research institute in order, then find a location to open a home appliance supermarket, and finally investigate the home appliance industry. We will acquire related technologies and produce them in Xiangjiang."

Wei Dongdao: "Yes, we will develop in this order."

Ruan Tao didn't dare to let Weidong stay overnight with two girls by her side, so she slipped into Virginia's room to have a heart-to-heart talk.

The next day Virginia went to Goldman Sachs accompanied by two female assistants. Wei Dong and Ruan Tao brought Mi Xiaozhou to the branch office and talked with Manager Bian about opening a supermarket.

Before there was not much business, Bian Jianye thought that the boss did not pay much attention to the development of the beautiful country, and he planned to change jobs after laying the foundation of the research institute. Now he heard that the boss wanted to increase capital investment, buy shops and open a chain of home appliance supermarkets, I also need to investigate the information on the home appliance industry, and keep it as a reference for future purchases of home appliance technology. It turns out that the Los Angeles branch is still quite valued by the boss. Why don't you give it a try and wait for a while before considering resigning?
Weidong first briefly explained the positioning of the supermarket, the general idea and operation method, etc., so that Manager Bian can understand that choosing the location of the store is the most important thing, and there are too many trivial matters in the middle.

Bian Jianye said: "I have no experience in the supermarket industry, so I can be said to be a layman. Will you give me an assistant?"

Ruan Tao said: "Don't worry, put up the shelves first, and after you get back, I will pick some people from the Tesco Department Store to help you."

Professional matters should be left to professionals. Bian Jianye performed well before, and his management level is quite strong. As long as he gets the start here, there will be no problems later.

Bian Jianye said: "Then I can rest assured, I will fully cooperate."

After talking with Manager Bian about recent events, he ordered the research institutes on both sides to provide good services, and transferred 500 million US dollars to the branch office. Wei Dong and his party also started preparations for the return trip.

Before noon, Virginia came back happily, and had already negotiated with Goldman Sachs to buy 2000% of the shares with 20 million yuan. Although the market value of Wang An Computer Company is about 8000 million yuan, the acquisition will promote the stock price rise, so it cannot Calculated based on the current stock price, there must be a certain premium, and the acquisition fees are all combined, that is, buying 2000% ​​of the shares from Goldman Sachs for 20 million. As for how much Goldman Sachs earns, it is up to Goldman Sachs. Just buy the shares on behalf of others.

It doesn't matter even if you can't get so much, after all, there are still many companies that can invest, such as Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, or oil companies such as Shell.

Virginia completed the task perfectly, and Weidong very rewarded several hundred million in the evening,

The next day, together with the production line operators led by Yu Yingfa, they chartered a flight back to Xiangjiang.

Back at Deep Water Bay Villa, Yan Jiedi and Qin Xiayue couldn't adapt to the empty room without Yan Jiedi and Qin Xiayue. She tried to fall asleep without thinking about it, and reversed the jet lag.

In the morning, I went to the Autumn Rain Tour and saw that there was no one in Mi Xiaozhou's place. When I entered my office, it was Ah Zhen who was cleaning up. She asked:

"Sister Zhen, why are you here?"

Ah Zhen said: "My school's affairs are settled, so come over and help!"

Wei Dong stepped forward and put his arms around A Zhen: "I'm sorry, Sister Zhen, for making you feel wronged."

When Yan Jiedi and Qin Xiayue came over, Ah Zhen found an excuse not to come to work in the company, and then returned to the company after Wei Dong sent the two of them away, obviously not to meet the two women, so that Wei Dong would not be in the middle of the embarrassment.

Ah Zhen grabbed Wei Dong's big hand and said coyly, "Little rascal, I will believe you if you don't move around. This is your office and you can't mess around."

Wei Dong chuckled, and just put his arms around A Zhen's waist quietly: "I miss Sister Zhen! Have dinner together tonight?"

Ah Zhen hasn't eaten meat with Weidong for many days, and she really needs to make up for it, she said softly, "I've been staying at home recently."

Then ask: "Have I lost weight recently? The waist seems to be thinner again?"

Weidong measured it with his big hand, and it seemed that he was a little thinner than before: "Have you not drank milk recently? I will supervise you to supplement nutrition at night."

Ah Zhen turned her head and glared, "I'm talking business to you!"

"What I said is true."

However, Wei Dong still let go of A-Zhen and returned to the boss's chair, and occasionally teased A-Zhen not too much, so as not to be annoyed after a short-skinned.

Ah Zhen went to her room to tidy up, sent a stack of documents and said, "This is the latest information, and Chairman Qi Dezun of Heji invited you to have afternoon tea."

Wei Dong asked, "How did he know I'm back?"

"People from Hutchison International call every day to ask if you are back. It seems that Chairman Qi Dezun has something important to talk to you about."

"Okay then, you can contact the person in Hutchison, and I will make an appointment on time."

Weidong was a little strange. Qi Dezun from Hutchison International could ask him for something. The agency agreement had been signed, and the new project hadn't been launched yet. It seemed that he had nothing to do with Hutchison International.

You don't need to think about meeting people to know the answer to this matter. First, read the documents on hand to know the latest progress of the company's various projects.

Mi Xiaozhou and Virginia were sent home on vacation by Ruan Tao. As long as they brought A Zhen to Qi Dezun's office, Wei Dong sat down and took a sip of coffee, and asked, "Congratulations to Qi for joining the Whampoa Dockyard and becoming a master." shareholder."

Qi Dezun laughed and said, "How can Yisheng buy Taikoo Dockyard directly? Although Hutchison is the major shareholder, there are other shareholders in Huangpu Dockyard."

That's what Qi Dezun said, but Weidong received the news that Qi Dezun had already recruited some directors and completely controlled the board of directors.

Being able to become the taipan of Hutchison International is so weak, so he took control of Huangpu Dockyard with a little trick.

Wei Dong didn't answer Qi Dezun's words, and asked, "I don't know why Daban Qi asked me to come here?"

Although the two have met many times, their personal relationship is limited. Wei Dong is not in the mood to chat with Qi Dezun yet, so he should speak directly about anything.

Qi Dezun said: "Xiangjiang's shipbuilding industry is Huangpu Dockyard and Taikoo Dockyard, the two largest. I wonder if Yisheng has considered us to join forces to expand this market?"

Wei Dong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Qi Dezun's idea to cooperate with Wei Dong's Taikoo Shipyard to make the shipping business bigger and stronger.

Wei Dong asked: "I don't know how Daban Qi wants to cooperate?"

Qi Dezun had already made a plan. Originally, he wanted to cooperate with Swire Shipping after purchasing the Huangpu Dockyard. Unexpectedly, the Swire Shipping Company sold the Swire Dockyard directly to Weidong, which caught Qi Dezun off guard. Now we can only find Weidong to discuss cooperation.

"Whampoa Dockyard and Taikoo Dockyard set up a joint dock company. We each invest half of it. How about looking for land for redevelopment?"

Whampoa Dockyard is located in West Ring, North Point and Hung Hom. There are large warehouses and docks. Of course, shipbuilding docks are also indispensable. Qi Dezun took a fancy to the rich land reserves of Whampoa Dockyard, so he issued 7200 million preferred shares a while ago, and then bought After obtaining 30% of the shares of Huangpu Dockyard and becoming a major shareholder, it will cooperate with Taikoo Dockyard to relocate to another place to produce ships, freeing up a large area of ​​land for the development of the real estate industry.

For the time being, Weidong has no idea of ​​developing the Swire Dockyard site, so of course he has to wait for such a good site, and of course he can't directly reject Qi Dezun's proposal.

Among the five major foreign firms, Jardine Matheson and Swire Pacific were not acquired in the end, and the rest fell into the hands of the Chinese, and Hutchison was the largest among them. Weidong has long been regarded as a possession, and now You can't have a bad relationship with Qi Dezun, otherwise it will be difficult to become the master in the future.

Wei Dong said: "I don't have any plans to develop Taikoo Dockyard in the short term, it's better to be safe now."

I just took the Taikoo Dockyard into my bag, and I haven't placed my own people in it yet. If we unite with the Huangpu Dockyard now, who will still listen to Weidong's call? No matter how we have to control the Taikoo Dockyard, we can talk about the alliance. matter.

Qi Dezun asked: "I wonder if Yi Sheng has any plans to sell part of the shipyard?"

Of course Qi Dezun knew that he had no ability to swallow the Taikoo Dockyard right now, even the money for the acquisition of the Huangpu Dockyard was raised in the stock market, and facing the [-] million Taikoo Dockyard, he simply had no ability to swallow it.

Wei Dong said: "It is impossible to sell it separately. The Qiuyu Group mainly manufactures industrial products, and ships are also a representative of heavy industry. They will be our core industry in the future."

Qi Dezun had no choice but to face Weidong, who was not good enough, so he smacked his lips and said, "Yi Sheng, in Xiangjiang, you must learn to make friends and cooperate to make a fortune. If you put all the property in your own hands, you will have no friends in the mall in the future." of."

Wei Dong took two sips of coffee, thought for a while before asking: "Then how about I sell the Swire Shipping part to Hutchison in exchange for the company's shares?"

What I negotiated with John Bao before was not to buy it maliciously. After the two parties have negotiated, as long as Hutchison International agrees, they can also directly buy shares.

For Weidong, it is a bit of a loss to invest in Heji now, but if he gets a board seat, it will be convenient to buy shares after entering the board of directors first.

Qi Dezun asked in surprise, "Yi Sheng wants to take a stake in Hutchison?"

Wei Dong shook his head and said, "No, I just said it casually."

Qi Dezun said: "I originally wanted Huangpu Dockyard and Taikoo Dockyard to jointly invest in a joint dock company, combining their respective shipyards together to form a large shipyard, so as to compete internationally. Neon and pretty country-made ships."

Wei Dong asked: "Do you want to be in the shipbuilding industry?"

Qi Dezun said: "Yes, the ship industry is the same as aircraft manufacturing, it is made to order. It can be said that as long as there is technology, it will not lose money."

The ship industry is indeed what Qi Dezun said. Usually, the giant ship is built only after receiving the order. Party A needs to pay according to the progress, and there is almost no possibility of losing money. Of course, if Party A goes bankrupt halfway, the shipyard still has ships in it. , can sell the ship to others to make up for the loss.

Wei Dong said: "Is it okay if I package Swire Shipyard in exchange for Hutchison International's shares?"

Qi Dezun asked in surprise, "Yi Sheng, do you really want to invest in Hutchison?"
