Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 642 Dell Corporation
At the end of 1988, many countries in the world were in turmoil.

The most influential one is that the big brother of Tsarist Russia, which straddles the eastern and western continents, is entering its twilight years. The reforms launched by Gorbachev in Tsarist Russia have impacted the concept of the planning system. between.

Domestically, due to the uncertainty of price breakthroughs, there is a depressive atmosphere, just like Jiang Yongan's mood.

It's almost the end of the year, and the clothing group's dividend is approaching again. He Ping's investment in Global Investment is about to exceed [-] billion, but he spent more than [-] million in the past two years.

What a worry in his heart!
But melancholy is useless, I have to find a way to spend money.

Nihong and Nanchao's many potential targets are very wary of Chinese capital, and they don't want to send money to the door.There is no potential, and Universal doesn't like it.

The new capital injection of the clothing group is about to arrive, and he began to set his sights on the European and American markets.I didn't have that condition before, but now that my pockets are bulging, I have to expand my vision a little bit.

He set his sights on Dell, a rising star in the American PC market.

Michael Dell entered the University of Texas in 1983 as a pre-med student, but he was actually more interested in the computer industry.

He bought some obsolete IBM personal computers from a local computer retailer at a low price. pot of gold.

Dale gained confidence when he first entered the business world. He dropped out of school and started his own business. In the first month alone, he sold $18 worth of modified PCs.

In the following three years, Dell, with his extraordinary courage and keen sense, led Dell to quickly gain a foothold in the personal computer industry in a short period of time in PC's Limited.

In 1987, PC's Limited was changed to Dell Corporation.Dell is famous for producing, designing, and selling home and office computers, but it is also involved in the high-end computer market, producing and selling servers, data storage equipment or network equipment.It also includes computer peripheral products such as software, printers and smartphones.

It was also in this year that Dell began to set foot in overseas markets, and they established the world's first office in England.

In four years, Dell has transformed from an obscure computer assembly company into a top-three start-up in the American PC market.

Jiang Yongan gathered a lot of information about Dell, and he was attracted by Dell's three sales principles.

Stick to direct selling.

Get rid of inventory.

Align with customers.

The company's internal assessment of Dell is that it is just a computer assembler with no technology at all.But Jiang Yongan saw the potential of Dell in these three sales principles.

Jiang Yongan, like many old-school businessmen in Xiangjiang, does not understand high technology at all, but he understands the business operation model. In his opinion, Dell's sales strategy is extremely clever.

He decided to fly to America to pay a visit to the founder of Dell, Michael Dell.

Judging from the information collected by the company, Dell is preparing to go public. It is actually a bit late to contact now, but it depends on human effort.

Investing in Dell is bound to cost a lot of money, and he must first communicate with the boss about a case of this scale.

When the call came to He Ping, he patted his forehead.

The main reason why Universal could only develop in East Asia before was that the amount of funds was too small. Now that the dividends from the clothing group are enough to support Universal's investment in the European and American markets, there is no need for them to stick to a corner.

The entry point that Jiang Yongan found is also very good. Dell definitely has investment potential. If you regard it as a high-tech company, it is very rubbish, but if you regard it as a sales company, then you will You will discover his greatness.

He Ping immediately agreed with Jiang Yongan's idea, and at the same time he searched the memories in his mind.

It seems that this time should be the time when the conflict between Microsoft, Apple and IBM is the most serious, and it is also the period when Microsoft's stock price is low. At this time, you can absorb more.

Let’s not consider Apple for the time being. Ever since Jobs fell into the sand, the entire Apple company has been in a slump for more than ten years. It was not until 2000 that there was a respite. Now it has no investment value at all.

After scratching his head, He Ping can only think of these two companies, and the rest can only be left to Jiang Yongan to develop himself.

At the end of the year, flying across half the world to the other side of the ocean is a hard job, and it will take ten days and a half months at least. He Ping expressed his concern on the phone.

Jiang Yong'an didn't feel that it was hard work, as long as he could spend the money, it would be worthwhile for him to work harder.

Before this business trip, Jiang Yongan also made a simple report to He Ping on the development of Global Investment this year.

In 88, Global Investment made several major moves.

The first is to build a 20-storey, 6-square-meter Global Entrepreneurship Incubation Building in Zhongguancun, Beijing, to fully support the development of domestic start-up high-tech enterprises.

Within half a year, it has already invested in two start-up software companies in Beijing, Kingsoft and UF.

UF is the software company established by Wang Wenjing whom He Ping met when he visited the capital. After He Ping showed interest in Wang Wenjing that time, Jiang Yongan never lost contact with Wang Wenjing.

With his help, Wang Wenjing established UFIDA Software Company, focusing on financial software development.

Universal invested 20 yuan in Wang Wenjing and became the second largest shareholder of UFIDA, accounting for 30% of the shares.

Kingsoft was recommended by the Management Committee of Zhongguancun High-tech Zone to Global Investment. After the inspection, Jiang Yongan felt that the enterprise management was more formal and had certain potential, so he decided to invest. He won 30% of Kingsoft with an investment of 24. equity.

When Jiang Yongan introduced He Ping, He Ping was a little surprised. He Ping knew Wang Wenjing of UF they had met when they were in the capital.

It may be beyond his expectation to be able to invest in Jinshan, one of the leaders in the domestic software industry, with a good reputation and potential in the future.

It's just that Qiu Bojun and Lei Xiaomi, the two major generals of Jinshan, should not have joined, and Jinshan's take-off will have to wait patiently for a while.

The second major event was that Global Investment donated eight figures to build 69 primary and secondary school teaching buildings in Ping County, Northeast China.

Countless small and medium-sized enterprises eager to invest have broken through the threshold of Global Investment, but very few of them can get into Jiang Yongan's sight, not to mention the targets that can be selected by Global Investment, and there are only a handful of them.

An acquaintance of He Ping appeared among several small and medium-sized enterprises selected by Global Investment.
