Chapter 170 The establishment of the group company
Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong China Daily Building:
Yang Wendong led several people to the top floor here and said: "Everyone, please sit down."
"Okay." Wei Zetao, Qin Zhiye, Zhang Hui, Zheng Zhijie, Wang Fengzhi, Lin Yuanshan and other company executives each found their own seats in the conference room.
Su Yiyi said: "I will pour tea for everyone."
Wang Fengzhi said quickly: "I'll do it. I'm familiar with this place."
Others at the scene didn't say anything, but they obviously agreed. They all knew about the relationship between Su Yiyi and the boss, and they didn't dare to let this person come. Serve them.
Yang Wendong said with a smile: "Don't be polite. No need to pour any tea. Just go over there and get a few bottles of soda from Watsons."
"Okay." After Su Yiyi agreed, Went to get water and came back shortly with a plate.
After each person had a bottle, everyone quickly got into a state of discussing business.
Yang Wendong first said: "Everyone, we are here today mainly to discuss the affairs of Changxing Group Corporation;
I have actually told a few people before that the company's different businesses are getting bigger and bigger, so Each business must be independent in terms of finance and personnel administration;
At the same time, a general group company must be established to take charge of the personnel and finance of each business.”
The people below. Everyone obviously knew about this. Wei Zetao, the leader, said with a smile: "Yang Sheng, now that your career is getting bigger and bigger, it is time to establish a group company."
"Yes." Yang Wendong nodded, He also said: "The head office will exercise certain controls on each business company in the future, but it will also give you certain additional permissions.
In the future, what matters you have the right to do and what matters need to be decided by the headquarters or me, will form a standard, and all will be implemented in accordance with this. "
Anyone who has worked in different companies knows that the model of managing a company is that small companies rely on people, and large companies rely on systems.
"Understood. " Several people below replied.
Yang Wendong continued: "Yiyi, you will be responsible for managing the general affairs office from now on. The responsibility of this department is to send people to communicate with each subsidiary and then sort out various matters of the subsidiary. , give me all the information.
Then you also need to deal with urgent matters, or coordinate cooperation issues between various departments, etc. ”
"Okay, Brother Dong." Su Yiyi nodded and agreed.
Of course she had known about this for a long time. She originally thought that she might not do well. After all, this was her first time in charge of a department. Before that, she had always been an assistant. That’s all.
However, Yang Wendong also described this job. It is not a core functional department, but a link to communicate between various businesses and the headquarters. It is also the eye that Yang Wendong needs.
Therefore, this position requires more trustworthy people to take charge. As for professional issues, corresponding people will naturally be recruited.
Yang Wendong added: "Although an independent company has been established, the finances of each department will be independent, so internal transactions will be normalized, and an appropriate discount can be given according to the market price;
< br>
Especially for the Hong Kong China Daily and commercial radio stations, you will be the publicity channels for the group's business in Hong Kong in the future. In this regard, you must be specially prepared for the group's business, especially the subsequent real estate business. "
Qin Zhiye and Zhang Hui nodded, and then the former agreed and said: "Okay, don't worry, Yang Sheng, we will definitely give the best publicity resources to our brother companies. "
"Well, okay. Yang Wendong continued: "In the future, the group headquarters and the headquarters of Changxing Real Estate will be here. In the short term, this building is enough; if the business expands in the future, we will consider buying a new building." ”
After the Hong Kong and China Building was built, Yang Wendong knew that other empty spaces would be useful soon, so he did not rent them out.
Even if the company’s business develops rapidly, , that might not be enough.
Zheng Zhijie said with a smile: "Yang Sheng, there are still many old buildings around here. It's no problem to buy them, demolish them and build new ones."
"Well, that's fine, it's convenient for everyone to be together." Yang Wendong He nodded and said: "Their latest business includes this, trying to buy an old building nearby, and then tear it down and build a new one."
The quota given by Liao Chuang Hing Bank is not low, so naturally there is You have to use it, and even taking loans from other banks is no problem, but it is not as high leverage as Liao Chong Hing Bank.
"No problem, I'll go investigate nearby in the afternoon." Zheng Zhijie agreed.
Yang Wendong said again: "Don't build one that is too high. A dozen or so floors is enough. Buy a few more pieces of land and build a cluster office building. It doesn't matter if it is more. You can rent it if you really can't use it." Get out.”
From an economic point of view, whether a very tall building should be built in a place has a lot to do with the price of land. The more expensive the land is, the higher it should be built, and vice versa.
Because the taller the building, the higher the cost per unit building area will be. Therefore, when the land price is not expensive, it is better to buy more land and build shorter buildings.
Although the prices in Central, Hong Kong are not cheap, it is still 60 years old after all. Even in the core area of Central, there are not many buildings with more than 20 floors. The Hong Kong and China Building is still located on the edge of Central, built with more than ten floors. The best value for money.
And no matter what property investment you do in this era, the most important thing is to obtain more land. In 20 years or so, the building will be almost ready to be demolished. If you build a super high-rise building, you will get the highest income. "Okay." Zheng Zhijie also understood this.
Yang Wendong continued: "Then let's discuss the internal coordination of each company together."
The establishment of a group company is also an inevitable trend. Otherwise, Yang Wendong would be able to handle so many businesses by himself. It's too late; the biggest trouble in this is distance.
There is no way, the factory must be placed on the Kowloon Peninsula. This is the trend of Hong Kong's industrial development, and in the early days, Yang Wendong had no choice;
As for newspapers, radio stations and even real estate The company's core business is on Hong Kong Island, and the talents needed for the company's operations are also here, so it must also be located on Hong Kong Island.
However, for large group companies, this is not a troublesome thing. After the company expands, it is normal for the business to be separated. The management costs of those multinational companies are higher, but this is also necessary for development.
After the meeting:
Yang Wendong left Wei Zetao and Su Yiyi alone and said: "Old Wei, although the company has established many new businesses now, the core is still Changxing Industrial. In this area, we will need to rely on you in the future. "
Wei Zetao said: "Yang Sheng, don't worry, Changxing Industrial is currently following your plan and executing it normally. There are almost no problems in the market for several products. We only need to deal with production and quality. ask Just ask the question."
"Yes." Yang Wendong nodded and said: "The market for several products in the factory is indeed good, but we cannot only rely on these few;
So The internal task of Changxing Industrial this year is to set up its own R&D department. This R&D department is not a design department like Lao Hong, but needs to find its own way to develop products that the market needs, just like 3M.”
Although in the future, Yang Wendong will still provide some creative small commodities from his previous life, he also needs his own company with the ability to do so. Even if the products he develops are far inferior, or even dozens or hundreds of models, it will take a hit. , is also acceptable. This is actually the state of 3M itself.
"Understood." Wei Zetao nodded, and then said: "It's just that 3M's business is too extensive, and our resources are not as good as others. I don't know if there is a fixed scope for developing new products, so that everyone can We can work together in this direction."
Yang Wendong smiled and said: "Learning from 3M does not mean that you have to follow their path. If you are within the scope of others' strength, you will be seeking your own death.
On the contrary, we should go where 3M has not covered. For example, the living habits of Westerners and Asians are different, so 3M has no basis for many Asians in terms of their lives. There is a need for product innovation.”
“What a great idea, Yang Sheng’s thinking is really amazing.” Wei Zetao’s eyes almost lit up after hearing this.
No matter how powerful 3M is, it is still a Western company. The main market for its products must be the European and American markets. Other countries also have achievements, but this is also because many products are highly applicable.
As for the Asian market, the economy is relatively poor. A normal European and American company will invest very little in this area.
Yang Wendong continued: "Yes, especially kitchen supplies, Asia is indeed completely different from Europe and the United States. If you want to seek a breakthrough, then find this direction;
Look at Asians What are the inconveniences in the kitchen, and then find ways to improve it. If you can invent a product like sticky hooks to solve the problem, there will definitely be a market."
Wei Zetao nodded and said: "Okay. Yes, I understand, then I will organize a new department to study Asian kitchens.”
"Well, let's try this first." Yang Wendong nodded and said.
Kitchens are needed by every family, and the market here is very large.
Su Yiyi next to me suddenly asked: "Brother Dong, Wei Sheng, is it difficult to deal with patent issues in Asia?"
"This is indeed a problem." Yang Wendong agreed. Said: "But we can't stop doing business just because of this problem. We can just make decent money.
At least Japan is much better. This is the largest market. In other places, even if it is pirated It’s a lot, but we can still get some profits.”
Piracy is an eternal problem, and even in the 21st century, many times it cannot be solved;
When there is no other way, we can only try to make up for the losses, such as cooperating with local snakes and giving up reasonable benefits to ensure a win-win situation.
If it still doesn’t work, or some countries don’t even have copyright and patent laws, then we can only give up our patent advantages and compete on the basis of quality and price.
Wei Zetao nodded and said: "Yes, I think we still mainly rely on the Japanese market. The 90 million people there may have no less spending power than the 900 million people in Southeast Asia.
Or, Our products may be the same as 3M, which is suitable for Asia as well as Europe and the United States, so the market will be even larger.”
"That's naturally better." Yang Wendong smiled and said: "In Europe and the United States, we have some channels."
Post-it notes and sticky hooks are all practical products, and it is easy to pass them. I contacted dealers in Europe and the United States, and they even came on their own initiative.
"Yes." Wei Zetao added: "Yang Sheng, there is one more thing. Robert from 3M will come to Hong Kong in half a month."
