August.
Didi acquired Uber, officially monopolizing the domestic online taxi industry, and its valuation has skyrocketed.
At the same time, there are more and more cases of Samsung Note mobile phones exploding.
In view of the quality issues of this flagship mobile phone, Samsung has returned the product to foreign users.
In the announcement, China was not included.
For a time, it caused great shock on the Internet.
However, some people are angry about this, and naturally some people speak for Samsung, but they don’t know what they think.
Wang Donglai did not care about this matter.
Because, he is busy with something.
After the explosion of Samsung mobile phones, the lithium-sulfur batteries and semi-solid batteries developed by Wang Donglai suddenly became hot commodities.
Previously, because these two products had not been verified by the market and the cost was relatively high, only some high-end models were considered for use.
But after the explosion of Samsung mobile phones, domestic mobile phone manufacturers immediately saw business opportunities.
As a result, lithium-sulfur batteries and semi-solid batteries have become popular.
It’s just that due to production capacity constraints, it is impossible to provide too many products. Therefore, during this period, Wang Donglai also received a lot of phone calls and invitations.
Some want Wang Donglai to come forward and allocate some products, and some want to cooperate to build factories and expand production capacity.
Wang Donglai didn't want to deal with these matters, so he handed the matter over to Chen Lingyue.
However, some more important phone calls and more important people still need to be communicated in person.
For example, BYD’s boatman.
At this time, Wang Donglai and the boatman were inspecting the newly built production line.
Wang Donglai had some guesses as to the boatman’s purpose.
Sure enough.
After the visit, the boatman directly proposed his intention.
Expansion of production!
The Internet industry is an asset-light industry. Some companies with valuations of tens of billions may end up with only a few thousand computers as assets.
However, a physical enterprise is different. At least it will have a factory.
The number of employed people it drives far exceeds that of Internet companies, let alone the people who are radiated.
“Academician Wang, after the performance of semi-solid-state batteries was put on the market, it has undergone multiple tests and its performance has been extremely excellent. Now, it happens to be an excellent opportunity.”
“I It is expected to build five more factories, recruit 200,000 employees, and invest an estimated 50 billion. "
When the boatman said these words, he was not impassioned or full of passion, but was extremely calm. Talking.
“Didn’t Mr. Wang think this was too big a step before? Why did he suddenly change his mind?”
Wang Donglai asked curiously.
The boatman showed a wry smile, knowing that Wang Donglai was making fun of his previous performance.
However, Brother Boatman was able to develop BYD to the current level after all. After giving a wry smile, he said: "Before, I did not anticipate the changes in the market and did not own the products developed by Academician Wang. Enough trust, this is indeed my fault!”
“Now, it’s not too late!”
“Although a lot of smartphones are shipped every year, but Compared with new energy vehicles, it is nothing.”
"In my plan, the five super factories to be built are mainly used for batteries of new energy vehicles."
"Originally, because the batteries are not resistant to low temperatures, there will be discounts on battery life. In addition, There is a risk of spontaneous combustion, so there are several development routes for new energy vehicles."
"Compared. Such as extended range, hybrid, or pure electric mode. "
"These technologies are all designs made out of necessity when battery performance is limited, and each has its own pros and cons."< br>
“But when semi-solid batteries come out, the situation is different.”
"I don't even dare to think that since Academician Wang can develop semi-solid-state batteries, I don't think we are too far away from real solid-state batteries."
"By that time, The entire energy industry will undergo earth-shaking changes."
"So, I prepared a gift for Academician Wang today!"
As he said this, Brother Boatman took out one. The document was handed to Wang Donglai.
BYD Group Share Transfer Letter!
Wang Donglai was really surprised when he saw the words on this document.
When he got it, Wang Donglai didn't open it, so he asked the boatman, "Is Mr. Wang so generous?"
The boatman smiled heartily and said with great confidence: " Academician Wang, a wise man never talks behind the scenes. Our company has benefited a lot from our cooperation with you in the past two years, both in terms of market size and The profit rate has increased significantly."
"A little share, only 5%."
"At the same time, there is nothing attached to this share transfer letter. As long as Academician Wang signs the additional conditions, 5% of our company’s shares will belong to Academician Wang.”
"Even if Academician Wang gives these shares to others and leaves them to his family, it's okay."
A smile appeared on Wang Donglai's face and he said loudly: "No reward for no merit, Wang For these reasons alone, I don’t dare to accept such a big gift.”
“5% of the shares are worth your money. The company’s valuation will only take a few years, and it will be worth at least 40 billion.”
“Mr. Wang, if you dare to give away such a large amount of money, I won’t even accept it!”
The boatman brother did not feel discouraged by Wang Donglai's rejection. Instead, he felt happy because of the hint of information revealed in Wang Donglai's words.
5% of the shares can be worth 40 billion. Doesn't that mean that in Wang Donglai's eyes, BYD's market value will exceed 800 billion in a few years?
"Hiss..."
Boatman took a breath of air in his heart. No matter how confident he was, he never thought that BYD's market value would reach 800 billion.
Now, according to Wang Donglai, it will be done in less than two years.
For a moment, even the boatman, who had experienced strong winds and waves, couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed and couldn't control himself.
After a while, the boatman calmed down.
“This is a joke to Academician Wang. I didn’t expect that Academician Wang was so optimistic about our company and gave such a high valuation.”
The boatman shook his head and said with some emotion. .
In response, Wang Donglai shook his head, corrected Brother Boatman, and said: "Mr. Wang, I am indeed very optimistic about your company, but I understand the true value of technology better."
" As you said, a real solid-state battery can subvert the current consumer energy market. Many people can know the size of the market and the profits it will create just by thinking about it. ""But, I know these things. Not that much. ”
“What I value more is how many jobs will be created when the consumer energy market is disrupted, and where will the large profits created go? It will become annual salaries of over 100 million for company executives and huge dividends for shareholders. , or has it become a high welfare package for employees?”
“This is more important to me!”
“So, I don’t want these 5% shares.”
“In business When talking about business, cooperation requires a cooperative attitude and approach. ”
"Instead of giving me these 5% shares, why wouldn't Mr. Wang use them as employee benefits?"
"I heard that the food for your company's employees is not very good, and some of the benefits are not good. It’s very low, such as night shift subsidies, holidays, and full attendance assessment.”
“I understand that there is a lot of pressure in the development of a company, and it needs to be strictly controlled from all aspects. Maintain profit growth. ”
“However, improving employee meals, improving attendance, reducing employee assessments, and increasing some benefits will not cost much.”
“On the contrary. , it can be said that the development of your company is improving steadily. Among them, Mr. Wang’s contribution is due, and the management’s contribution is also due, but the efforts of the employees should not be ignored.”
"Speaking of which, I heard that your company's employee benefits during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year were only a moon cake and a bottle of drink?"
"Welfare benefits are not mandatory. Your company has a large number of employees. It’s a huge expense even if it adds up. I can think of all these reasons.”
“But I still think it shouldn’t be.”
"I think Mr. Wang may not like to hear what I said. No one likes to be taught how to do things, especially Mr. Wang who has become famous and is an old man in the business world."
"I think I The cooperation price offered to your company is not too harsh and leaves enough profit margin for your company. I think Mr. Wang will not deny it, right?”
The boatman's face lost his smile when Wang Donglai came to the middle.
When Wang Donglai asked this, he nodded and said nothing.
“The concept I have always admired is cooperation, mutual benefit and win-win, where everyone makes money together and enjoys life together.”
“Rich people can go yachting and fly, but ordinary people can also go shopping and eat out. , instead of working hard but not being able to save money.”
“I don’t know if Mr. Wang knows about Galaxy Technology’s employee benefits.”
"To be honest, for many products that create great commercial value, most of the work is done by me. The R&D department is just cooperating with me and doing some simple work."
"But even if Even so, I still offer higher wages and benefits.”
“Especially for Galaxy Technology’s tens of thousands of auditors. If we outsource it, we can save at least 300 million per year with wages that are in line with the market."
"However, I didn't do that. Wealth needs to be circulated."
< br>“When employees have money, they will spend money, which will drive economic development and ultimately promote business development.”
"But if you keep your money in the bank blindly, it will only lead to weak consumption, inflation at the top, and deflation at the bottom."
"Mr. Wang, I hope you can seriously consider my proposal!"
< br>"Instead of giving these 5% shares to me, it is better to set up an all-employee fund, pay dividends every year and then distribute them to All grassroots employees. ”
“I understand that in the eyes of many people, it is difficult to accept and a very stupid thing to give away free money to the employees below. ”< br>
“I don’t want to judge too much about such people, because different ways do not lead to the same goal.”
"Businessmen walking around the streets don't need to think too much, but when you are an entrepreneur with a net worth of tens of billions, you must have a plan."
"Mr. Wang said before that he wanted to expand the factory. "It's a good thing to increase the production line. I have no objection, but I won't take the 5% of the shares."
After that, Wang Donglai handed the share transfer letter to Brother Boatman again.
The boatman brother could see that Wang Donglai was not pretending, but was sincere and sincere.
This is completely different from what he thought before.
In his expectation, Wang Donglai had no reason to not want the shares that were given to him for free.
Although Boatman did not add any additional conditions to the share transfer letter, as long as Wang Donglai accepted the share transfer letter, it would be equivalent to a binding between the two parties.
After all, just at the moment, BYD has a market value of more than 160 billion, and 5% of its shares are worth 8 billion.
As a result, Wang Donglai first expressed his optimism about BYD and believed that the market value could be increased five times. However, he did not accept the 5% of the shares. Instead, he persuaded himself to turn this part of the money into benefits for employees. Benefits.
Galaxy Technology’s employee benefits have long become an alternative to domestic companies.
Employees who resigned can actually receive year-end bonuses.
Not to mention rental subsidies, transportation subsidies, high temperature and cold winter subsidies, there are also occupational special subsidies.
For example, if there is a night shift arranged, the original daily salary will be multiplied by 1.5, plus an additional night shift subsidy.
Because they are exposed to computers and other electronic products at work, each employee has a reimbursement quota for glasses replacement every year. If the degree of myopia increases too quickly, it will even trigger the compensation system and count it as a work-related injury. compensate.
The three-monthly physical examination is a welfare package that far exceeds that of major domestic companies and is unimaginable.
Paid annual leave is also far ahead in the country and has been strictly implemented.
Even corporate team building, which is not popular in many companies, has been used by Galaxy Technology.
Instead of putting it on rest days, we directly paid for team building.
Various welfare benefits have long made Galaxy Technology the happiest Internet company in China.
It has become the most popular company on all major job search platforms.
Brother Boatman already knew this.
Because of Wang Donglai’s approach, a slight change was made.
However, he did not expect that Wang Donglai's true thoughts would be like this.
If what Wang Donglai said is true, if the 5% of the shares are distributed as dividends and distributed to employees every year, it will indeed greatly improve the level of employees' wages and benefits.
However, this decision is not easy to make, nor is it easy to pass.
The boatman thought a lot in his mind at that moment, but on the surface nothing changed.
"Academician Wang, I need to seriously consider what you just said. After all, the company is not my company alone. I also need to convince the company's large and small shareholders."
"However, I can say something sincerely to Academician Wang here. I really want to achieve in-depth cooperation with your company and I have great sincerity.”
"As for the expansion, I will discuss it in detail with Academician Wang after I have taken care of it first!"
Wang Donglai nodded and said aloud: "I still have Mr. Wang's ability. It’s very clear that I also hope to have more cooperation with Mr. Wang to produce more and better products. Finally, I look forward to good news from Mr. Wang!” (End of Chapter)
