Chapter 683 Hello, 1997
“All departments and personnel of Tanglin Hi-Tech, including all branches, must be prepared to go through the cold winter!

This cold winter may cause setbacks to Dongling Hi-Tech’s foreign trade orders and domestic market. We must be prepared for a reduction in foreign trade orders, or even temporarily no orders! ”

The microphone carried Li Dongling's words to every corner of the auditorium. Even though the auditorium was well heated, many people still felt chilled.

Especially Song Yajun, Tao Zhiliang and a group of people who had been laid off. They were all people whose families had gone without food and had really experienced what it felt like to be hungry. Now their faces became very serious!

To a certain extent, Dongling Hi-Tech is a technology-based foreign trade company. Although the products it sells are different from those of companies that export clothes, shoes and other products overseas, foreign trade orders account for a large part of Dongling Hi-Tech's revenue.

If the foreign trade orders really fail, Dongling Hi-Tech will be like having a lame leg. Even if it won't collapse, it will definitely be seriously damaged!
By then, it will be hard to say whether we can still support hundreds of thousands of employees and pay such high salaries!

Li Dongling did not mention that Soros and Wall Street were going to come to Southeast Asia to stir up trouble and reap profits. After all, the other party had not taken any action yet. If he brought it up directly, it would be too alarmist or even too superstitious.

Therefore, Li Dongling changed his words, "Now the competition among major PHS mobile phone brands is getting more and more intense. It is hard to say whether Dongling Hi-Tech's PHS brand can maintain its market position next year!
Moreover, GSM and CDMA mobile phones from Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson, Sony, Samsung and other manufacturers are also constantly competing with Xiaolingtong for the mobile phone market.

The computer business will occupy a large part of Dongling Hi-Tech's resources and funds. If the sales of Dongling Hi-Tech's Shenzhou computer business fail to meet expectations next year, Dongling Hi-Tech may suffer the biggest setback since its establishment!

The rest of the Silver Sable mouse, electronic dictionary, Shenzhou USB flash drive, Shenzhou SD memory card, etc. will also face more and more competitors next year.

For Dongling Hi-Tech, next year may be the most difficult year since its establishment. Everyone should be prepared to tighten their belts! "

Although he said it with this excuse, what Li Dongling cried “wolf” was real.

Next year, Dongling Hi-Tech's overseas orders, including Shenzhou digital cordless phones, PHS mobile phones, electronic dictionaries, etc., must be prepared for "annihilation" in the Southeast Asian market.

When the economies of Siam, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and other places in Southeast Asia have been hit hard and banknotes are almost worthless, can we still expect agents and users in these regions to continue purchasing goods from Tanglin Hi-Tech?

When the economy in those regions collapsed, you were considered lucky if you could pay off the payment for the goods to Dongling Hi-Tech.

The money in the hands and bank accounts of users in these regions has all become waste paper. They can’t even fill their stomachs. How can we expect them to buy mobile phones, electronic dictionaries, and Shenzhou USB flash drives? Isn’t that ridiculous?!
With the collapse of orders in Southeast Asia, Dongling Hi-Tech's overseas market has become lame, and what remains are orders from old Europe and North America.

But it was America that was behind the attack on Southeast Asia. How could it allow old Europe to remain unscathed?

Taking advantage of the economic crisis in Southeast Asia, America will certainly not take the opportunity to dismantle the old European Union, but it is inevitable that it will cause some trouble.

According to America's usual practice, when wars or economic crises occur around the world, large amounts of US dollars will flee from those regions and flow to America for safe havens through various channels.

And when this money comes to America, it is definitely impossible to deposit it in the bank, so it can only flow into the American stock market, real estate, luxury goods, movies and other industries with opportunities to make money, or in other words, take over...

This is how America uses the US dollar to harvest overseas leeks in disguise. This trick is often used by America, but the effect is outstanding.

Even the reason why the Nasdaq bubble in the previous life was so big was related to the turmoil that Soros caused in Southeast Asia.

It was the hot money from Asia and old Europe that flowed into America that caused the Internet concept stocks on the Nasdaq to soar to the sky. In just a few months, the Internet stocks listed on the Nasdaq more than doubled!
The economies of old Europe, old Eastern Europe and all over the world will certainly become turbulent next year. By then, Dongling Hi-Tech's orders in old Europe will certainly decrease.

Next year, let alone Dongling Hi-Tech’s overseas orders, as Li Dongling said, they will be reduced by 30%. Even if we can keep half of them, it will be a blessing!
Of course, the mystery of the word crisis lies in the fact that after the danger, there is opportunity!
It is certain that Dongling Hi-Tech will suffer losses in overseas orders next year, but as long as it can maintain its production lines and employees, it will have cash flow to support it.

After the crisis, manufacturers such as Samsung, Hyundai, LG, Toshiba, Sharp, and Panasonic in Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, and Old Europe will begin to lick their wounds and enter a short period of contraction. Many industries in Southeast Asia, such as mobile phones, panels, computers, and memory sticks, will temporarily fall into a vacuum zone!
At this time, whoever can go against the cycle, quickly increase production capacity, and take over the market in these areas will seize the opportunity and grab the market, which is much more useful than advertising for ten years.

As for whether it can take advantage of the opportunity to bite off a piece of meat from giant companies such as Samsung, Panasonic, Toshiba, and Sharp, it depends on how it operates.

But the prerequisite is that Dongling Hi-Tech must survive this crisis to have the opportunity to climb onto the dining table and cut a piece of the fat on the table!
“I still say that, I hope to see you all here next year, and I hope to see you all every year!”

Li Dongling put down the microphone, glanced at the people present, and then walked downstairs.

But at this moment, the atmosphere in the entire auditorium was indeed somewhat depressed. Even though the two hosts invited from the provincial TV station were working hard to warm up the audience, the entire auditorium was still somewhat dull. "Old Song, what do you think of what Mr. Li said?"

Dishes, wine and drinks were all brought to the table. The dishes were even more sumptuous than in previous years. Lamb legs, roast duck, braised beef in soy sauce, prawns, etc. were all served, but Tao Zhiliang had no appetite at all.

Song Yajun, who was questioned by Tao Zhiliang, was not much better. "This... Mr. Li has said similar things in previous years. Is this a warning for us to be prepared for danger in times of peace?"

In the past, Li Dongling would also make some warning words on important occasions every year. This is not surprising, as Chinese people have always believed in Mencius' theory of "Born in adversity and die in comfort."

From an individual to a company, if there is no sense of crisis, it is likely to fail quickly.

In the Internet industry in the past, at the annual entrepreneur awards ceremony, someone shouted that he couldn't find any rivals even with a telescope. A few years after he said that, his e-commerce market share and revenue were surpassed by Pinxixi...

"Do you think this is just a warning?"

Tao Zhiliang and his team have been in Dongling Hi-Tech for such a long time, and they also have some understanding of Li Dongling. They can clearly tell whether what he said today was just a polite remark or not!
If middle-level managers such as Song Yajun and Tao Zhiliang were still just a little worried, then Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zixian, Zhang Ao, Gao Peng and other real powerful figures in Dongling Hi-Tech all had solemn expressions on their faces.

Ren Yuefeng and Hu Zixian looked at each other. This was not the first time that Li Dongling had cried wolf.

But in the past, they just made a few meaningless remarks at best, but this time they directly expressed concerns about next year's performance, which is obviously not just shouting slogans.

Moreover, only Ren Yuefeng and his people knew how much cash flow Li Dongling had prepared for Dongling Hi-Tech. Such a large amount of cash was obviously not just prepared for the research and development of technology.

But even if we are prepared, no one knows what will happen when the storm really comes.

As professional managers, what Ren Yuefeng and his colleagues hate most is the unknown and uncertainty, because there are so many possible accidents!

Dishes were served one after another, and the annual meeting performers also continued to perform on stage. The atmosphere of the annual meeting finally improved a little.

After three rounds of drinks, in the second half of the annual meeting, Guan Zhenming and many other senior executives from branches came running over to toast Li Dongling.

To be honest, this is a rare opportunity for these "border generals" to face Li Dongling, the leader, directly in a year. Naturally, they are unwilling to miss this opportunity and want to leave some impression on Li Dongling.

Compared with other executives, Guo Jingyun has a much closer relationship with Li Dongling. As the Internet department of Dongling Hi-Tech, Tianya's current status within Dongling Hi-Tech is not high, but its treatment and level are at the same level as those of the technical department, Doxin Semiconductor and other companies.

"Mr. Li!"

Guo Jingyun, Zhou Hongyi and other senior executives of Tianya Company raised their glasses to toast Li Dongling.

After a glass of wine, Li Dongling said to Guo Jingyun, Zhou Hongyi and other Tianya executives, "No matter what, thank you for your hard work this year!"

Although Tianya Internet Company is still losing money this year, it has launched Tianya Input Method, Tianya Forum, Tianya Sports, etc. in recent years, allowing Dongling Hi-Tech to have its own base in the Internet industry, and this alone is enough.

"The Internet business will be one of the most important industries for Dongling Hi-Tech in the future. I hope that Tianya Company can continue to carry the banner of the Internet industry for Dongling Hi-Tech, and plant this flag not only in the domestic market, but also in the overseas Internet market!"

Hearing what Li Dongling said, Guo Jingyun and several Tianya Company executives couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Li Dongling was almost stating that with Tianya Company's strong support, Tianya Company would not need to worry about future funding and resources.

The atmosphere in the auditorium became lively as people toasted each other. Guo Jingyun held up his glass and clinked glasses with Li Dongling. He then glanced at Zhou Hongyi and whispered something to Li Dongling in his ear.

After hearing this, Li Dongling couldn't help but look in the direction of the red cannon. Seeing Li Dongling's gaze, Zhou Hongyi couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, wondering whether Li Dongling would agree to let him take over Yahoo Mainland Company.
