Chapter 1197 Kunlun's future
"It should be guaranteed. I heard that a group of bosses including Shi Dazhu sympathize with Guo Wei's experience, or that they want to find some discomfort with me, and add a piece to Guo Wei. He invested several hundred million. "
Wang Ling was a little surprised. Mr. Xu actually understood such a secret matter so clearly. Doesn't this mean that all the things Guo Wei did at Shenzhou Digital are in the other party's control?
Pressing the surprise in his heart, Wang Ling said: "Then implement the employee stock ownership plan!
Guo Wei originally wanted to implement it after MBO, and the employees were looking forward to it.
>
If the company provides equity incentives, let everyone see the courage of the new shareholders and stabilize the morale of the army. "
Yang Tingkun looked at Xu Liang, put down the teacup in his hand and smiled and nodded, "This method is OK, is there any other way? "
"Combining with Hongmeng a big project, such as cloud computing, allows everyone to see that the company has not only not gotten worse, but has become better and better. "
Xu Liang was silent for a moment and said, "The investment in cloud computing is too big, and Huaxia Digital cannot participate. "
"Other projects are also fine, such as agents of Kunlun Mobile, which just fills the business shortcomings caused by the suspension of cooperation by Conscientious Company. ”
Xu Liang smiled and turned his head, "Old Yang, it seems that the heroes have a similar view, and they have gone with us."
Yang Tingkun, who was sitting on the side, nodded with a smile.
"With talents like Mr. Wang joining, our acquisition of Huaxia Digital this time is worth the price."
"You are too rewarded!"
Xu Liang did After a continued gesture.
"If these moves continue, the effect will be immediate. At least everyone will restore confidence in the company."
"No!"
Xu Liang: "One thing is missing."
Wang Ling looked confused.
"You come to be the company's president and let your conscience see you. We Hongmeng can still tolerate people."
Wang Ling was shocked and excited.
He is now the president of Huaxia Digital Engineering Academy and vice president of Huaxia Digital IT Service Group, and he cannot even rank in the top five in the company.
"Old Yang is temporarily the CEO. You have many similar ideas and should have many common languages."
Wang Ling understood in seconds, and the boss told himself: If you do it well, you will be able to do it. , can take over the position of CEO in the future.
After understanding, he became more eager and hurriedly expressed his opinion: "Mr. Xu, don't worry. I will restore China Digital to stability as soon as possible."
"Restoring stability alone is not enough. Stock investors are now counting on me to raise the stock price to double or triple digits."
Wang Ling smiled and said, "This is not impossible, it is just necessary It's just time."
Xu Liang nodded with a smile.
After a while of chatting, Wang Ling surrendered.
"Old Yang, what do you think of people?"
"The overall feeling is pretty good. The specific performance depends on his usual performance." Xu Liang smiled and said, "You know people and face but not your heart. It really depends on his daily performance." >
Yang Tingkun echoed and took out a document and handed it over. "Mr. Xu, this is our preliminary plan. Pangu Company has absorbed Huaxia Digital Software Business and R&D Team's management structure." Xu Liang took it and flipped it out.
According to the opinions of Pangu's management team, the company will be divided into four parts: cloud computing department, big data department, office software department and industrial software department.
Below the four departments, there are specific software research and development business.
Xu Liang looked at it and found that there were 13 different software in total, as well as 7 secondary business departments including big data analysis and cloud storage.
"I think your vertical management structure is a bit complicated.
Pangu is a first-level management structure, four departments are the second-level management structure, and major sub-business departments are the third-level management structure. , major development teams serve as the fourth level management structure.
If an ordinary employee is at level 5, if you want to hear the opinions and ideas of the lower-level employees, you have to go beyond level 3.
How much do you think this opportunity is? "
Yang Tingkun is obviously also a smart person, "You are canceling the four departments? ”
”Yes. ...Your management directly benchmarks the major software R&D departments and business departments, and there are only twenty of them on the left and right. Even if there are a few more, you can handle it.
Minus this level, Pangu's management efficiency can be improved by at least 50%. ”
"I understand. After I go back, we will make rectifications immediately according to your requirements."
Xu Liang nodded, "Can the company's big data analysis system reach the third pole now?"
"It's not possible yet. The data we have is still too lacking. We can only do 'diagnostic analysis' for the time being."
The big data analysis system has four levels.
1. Descriptive analysis: This is the basic level of big data analysis, focusing mainly on the summary and presentation of historical data.
Help users understand what is happening in their data through statistical reports and data visualization charts. Commonly used technologies for descriptive analysis include data visualization, data clustering and data mining.
2. Diagnostic analysis: Based on descriptive analysis, further dig deeper into the data and find out the reasons and correlations behind the data.
Through correlation analysis, regression analysis and causal analysis, we reveal the relationships and drivers of changes between data, and help users understand the root causes of data changes.
3. Predictive analysis : Use statistical models and machine learning algorithms to predict future trends and results.
Common predictive data analysis methods include regression analysis, time series analysis and machine learning models, such as decision trees, random forests and neural networks.
4. Normative analysis: Provide the best action plan and decision-making support based on predictive analysis.
This level not only predicts the future, but also formulates an action plan based on the prediction results to help users make better decisions.
Xu Liang's face became hesitant and he was silent for a long time.
This is the first time Yang Tingkun has seen him like this.
In his impression, no matter what the huge Hongmeng Group is, he can handle it easily when it comes to the boss.
"Old Yang, if the company grows to a certain extent, it needs to bear certain social responsibilities.
So, I plan to set up a big data analysis system for natural disaster warnings within the company.
At the beginning, we should not be greedy for too much and make it too big.
Do an earthquake first.
Collection of geology, air, animal and plant performance and other data before and during global earthquakes. Establish big data models, continuously enrich data, improve algorithms, and establish rich earthquake databases to strive to predict earthquake occurrence in the future."
Yang Tingkun was shocked. He didn't expect that this was the thing that made the boss ponder for so long.
But looking at his serious look, Yang Tingkun quickly thought about it, knowing that it was not a joke.
"Mr. Xu, data analysis is a probabilistic thing, and we can never be 100% accurate. But if natural disasters cannot be 100% accurate, then it will cause great Social issues.”
Xu Liang understood what he meant.
If the above listened to their opinions and transferred the person in advance, and thus incurred hundreds of millions or even billions of costs, and the earthquake did not occur in the end, then who are these costs?
"We do our best to be accurate, do our own business well, and don't ask about anything else." Xu Liang said.
Yang Tingkun nodded, "I will organize the manpower immediately when I go back."
"After all, it is a public welfare project, and the group will be responsible for the funds. I will give you 500 million Chinese coins in advance. This year, you will have to pay the funds. All this 500 million is spent on it."
Yang Tingkun was surprised by the boss's generosity.
He hired hundreds of high-quality engineers to work and couldn't spend the money in a year.
"Old Yang, I've given you the money. I'll see the results in half a year."
Yang Tingkun looked embarrassed, "Mr. Xu, is half a year too short?"
"Short Is it? Pangu has been doing data analysis for almost three years and has established a mature data analysis model and algorithm. With the foundation, is it difficult to add branches and leaves?
If it is a problem with funds and personnel, I will let Mr. Xie cooperates with you to solve the problem."
The big boss said so, what else can he say in Yang Tingkun? He can only agree.
Xu Liang sighed in his heart. If possible, he didn't want to force Yang Tingkun, but there was not much time left! "By the way, you can hold a press conference with Mr. Xie and talk about this matter. In the future, when the Earthquake Bureau gets data, it will be considered famous for its masters and others can cooperate."
"Okay."
Xu Liang pondered for a moment, "If you think half a year is really too short, start with Sichuan and Chongqing. It is the largest earthquake zone in our country and a high earthquake incidence area. First, Mainly on that side."
"Yes."
After explaining, Xu Liang sighed, all he could do was this.
Just wait until this project is completed, he can reveal Wenchuan’s affairs to the top through a reasonable channel.
As for the final result, it’s not that he can control it.
At that time, I will have a clear conscience.
——
As January enters, the weather cools down sharply.
But for Xu Liang, who has been practicing martial arts for many years, these are nothing.
Get out of the car and looked up at the towering "Golden Land Building" in front of me, which is also the headquarters of Kunlun Industrial Group.
This 5A-level office building with an area of 17,538 square meters and a 100,000 square meters was renovated by Taihua's acquisition of unfinished building plots.
After the completion at the end of 2005, it was rented to Kunlun Company as its headquarters.
But as the company grows rapidly and the number of people increases, it is obviously not enough.
"Have you considered the matter of the new headquarters?"
Lei Jun, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "I have already talked to the Magic City. The initial plan is to 'Zhangjiang High-Tech Park' Get a piece of land covering an area of 300,000 square meters and about 450 acres.
12 office buildings will be built on this land, with a total construction area of about 500,000 to 600,000 square meters. After completion, you can Available for 40,000 people to work at the same time. "
"Where is the budget?"
Lei Jun: "Because we are a technology enterprise, we can enjoy great policy benefits when acquiring land, and we can get the land for about 500 million or 600 million.
The main cost is construction and decoration, and the total investment budget is About 5 billion Chinese coins. "
"The bottom price is a bit high, and the construction cost is almost 10,000 yuan per square meter." Xu Liang said with a smile.
Holding the country's largest real estate company in his hand, he is very sensitive to housing prices.
"In fact, it is not particularly high, but in China, it is considered to be the top level.
But Kunlun Industry strives to develop and strive for the goal of leading technology enterprises, and the standards in all aspects naturally reach the top level in the industry.
Building a high-standard science and technology park can show the corporate image externally and improve employees' sense of belonging internally.
And our employees are growing too fast, and it is inconvenient to work in multiple places, so getting together can achieve higher efficiency. "
Xu Liang nodded. Lei Jun's plan was still very practical. He was not as good as he invested in the construction of the Hongmeng Headquarters. Otherwise, the total investment would be more than 5 billion, and a zero would be added to the back. Only.
After stepping into the building, he came to the office on the top floor, overlooking the most prosperous Pudong Financial City and the Bund on the Huangpu River, Xu Liang said with a smile. "Pudong has been completely developed compared to when I first came in two thousand years." "Eight years are enough to change a lot of things." Lei Jun smiled.
Xu Liang nodded and waved his hand to signal him to sit down. "I heard that you and Dong Mingzhu donated an air conditioner worth 100 million Chinese coins to primary and secondary schools in the central and western regions?"
Lei Jun nodded, "I went downstairs to inspect some time ago and found that our country's development is very uneven, especially in education.
Children from developed eastern coastal areas can sit in classrooms with air conditioning and heating, the most important thing is There is also a heating stove.
But the children in rural areas in the central and western regions can only resist. Many people have frostbite on their hands. When writing, their fingers are swollen and they can't even hold the pen. It's so pitiful. >
So I plan to provide some help."
"I understand how you want to help these children, and you are a little unconsidered in this matter.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Donation is very simple. Donating 1,000 or 10,000 air conditioners is fine. But who will pay for the subsequent electricity bills and maintenance and repair fees? "
If you have some education grants, you won't be able to even get a stove in winter.
Lei Jun was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly, "I'm still stuck in a misunderstanding of thinking and have some utilitarianism." I want to echo this pilot activity of home appliances in the countryside and create a good corporate image in the rural market.
I didn't expect it to become 'why not eat meat'. ”
Xu Liang didn't say anything. In November last year, in order to boost the economy, the superiors planned to carry out pilot home appliances in the countryside in Shandong, Henan, and Sichuan provinces, and gave 13% of the product sales price for three major categories of color TVs, refrigerators and mobile phones. Direct financial funds are compensated.
The subsidy was officially implemented on December 1 last year.
Kunlun certainly won’t miss such a big event as the country’s largest home appliance giant.
At his request, Lei Jun and Dong Mingzhu even went to three provinces to inspect work in person, chatted with electrical distributors in counties and townships, understood the actual needs of farmers, and did a greater action next year Some preparations.
The influence of the financial crisis has not yet fully spread. By next year, the country will shout slogans to expand domestic demand and at the same time promote the policy of home appliances to the countryside.
Kunlun Industrial Group's "Smart Home Business Department" is the core industry of Kunlun Industrial Group.
The home appliances going to the countryside is a good opportunity for Kunlun Industrial Group to capture the sinking market. If it is well operated, it will not only continue to expand the market share of first-tier brands such as Supor, Gree Air Conditioning, Skyworth TV, etc.
It can also make Little Swan, Meiling Refrigerator and other brands that have become second-tier brands and later catch up.
In short, he attaches great importance to home appliances going to the countryside. "It happened as soon as it happened. It was a good thing, so I won't mention it. The key now is that we must seize the opportunity to go to the countryside with home appliances."
After pausing, Xu Liang continued.
"In the past, the rural market had not received much attention from home appliance manufacturers due to its relatively scattered and low consumption levels, and the costs of logistics and distribution, after-sales service, etc., which were much higher than those of cities.
But I believe that with the continuous deepening of the policy of home appliances going to the countryside, the factors that restrict farmers' home appliance consumption will gradually begin to ease.
You have also personally visited county towns and towns to see the enthusiasm of farmers and consumers for purchasing home appliances. It's very high. They don't have money, but they deposit all the money in the bank and are reluctant to spend it.
But the introduction of the home appliance subsidy policy this time will make farmers feel real benefits. It will greatly stimulate the consumption potential in rural areas."
After Lei Jun nodded, "This is an opportunity and a challenge.
To truly take advantage of this wave of dividends, we need to make some changes around the rural market that are more in line with the rural usage environment.
>
For example, add mouse-proof and lightning-proof designs to home appliances, or add moisture-proof, ultra-wide power supply, and super-strong signal-receiving functions to home appliances.
At the same time, it is necessary to improve rural sales channels and The circulation service system extends business tentacles from first- and second-tier cities to the vast county and township markets.
After-sales service guarantee also needs to be further improved. Farmers expect home appliances to go to the countryside and to "service to the countryside". The brand reputation has been damaged by quickly seizing the market.
According to my observation, old color TVs such as Changhong and Konka have been on the decline for many years, but in the minds of farmers, they are still one of the best color TV brands. "
Xu Liang nodded. He is a rural person, so he is naturally very clear about the reason.
"The first color TV purchased by many rural families are Changhong and Konka. They were ten years ago It is the best color TV brand, and its brand image is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Because of the news in rural areas, I don’t know that the two color TV giants are already old and are left behind in the new technology era. "
Lei Jun smiled and said, "It's like this. I'm still a little worried that Skyworth can't compare to several other brands in the rural market. ”
"This requires you, the CEO, to find a way." Lei Jun nodded, "It's a pity that air conditioners, kitchen appliances, and small appliances are not on this subsidy list, otherwise several companies can cooperate with some activities. For example, if you buy a TV and get a free small appliance, and if you buy a refrigerator, you will get a free air conditioning coupon of 300 or 500 yuan..." Xu Liang: "Don't worry, haven't it said above?
This It is a pilot project. Once the results are good, it will definitely promote successful experience to the whole country, and at the same time it will expand more subsidy categories."
"I can't wait. After this investigation, I found that the sinking market is really A gold mine. We must transform the home appliance production line for the rural market as soon as possible.
To sink the sales network to townships and areas, and at the same time, it is necessary to improve after-sales service outlets, so there is too much preparation work to be done. "
Seeing his excited look, Xu Liang smiled and said, "Is the company's funds still abundant? "
Although Kunlun Industrial Group has a grand development plan, six business groups, dozens of subsidiaries, and thousands of different products.
But during this period, it is still more internal integration Mainly, in terms of development, each company is still fighting on its own, and has not truly achieved a comprehensive integration of logistics, procurement, finance and channels.
Without combining it into a whole, administrative costs are still very high .
In addition to maintaining operations, most of the profits obtained by the group are used for R&D investment.
After all, semiconductors, Internet of Things, drones, and power batteries are big money-burning players no matter which one is.
In addition, there is a big boss who likes to do R&D and is pressing on it, so Kunlun’s account really doesn’t have much cash.
"The $2 billion you gave last time, and now there is 537 million left; the group had a balance of 5.74 billion Huaxia coins last year.
The company still has 6.9 billion Huaxia coins in debt.
< br>
However, with the start of the industrial park and the continuous R&D investment, the company's debt will increase partly. "Lei Jun said.
"Reasonable debt is beneficial to the development of the group, so don't worry too much. "
In 2007, Kunlun Industrial Group's total revenue exceeded 160 billion Huaxia coins.
Kunlun Technology Company had the highest revenue.
In a year, Kunlun K1 mobile phones were sold Nearly 3 million units were distributed, and this alone generated 15 billion in revenue for Kunlun.
Compared to mobile phones, Kunlun sells more computers.
From 2003 to now, Kunlun Computer has been rooted in Asia in the past five years, especially in the Chinese and Southeast Asian markets.
Second only after Lenovo in China, Lenovo has surpassed Lenovo to become the highest-selling computer brand in Southeast Asia in the Southeast Asian market with its offline channels and the logistics and channels of No. 1 Store.
In 2007, nearly 9 million PCs and 12.8 million notebooks were sold, and the domestic market sales accounted for 64%.
In addition, MP3, MP4, speakers, external displays, USB flash drives and other devices.
Kunlun Technology's total revenue in one year exceeded 94 billion Huaxia coins.
It is Kunlun Industry's unquestionable revenue major.
Gree, second only to Kunlun Technology, has a total revenue of 38 billion Huaxia coins in 2007.
Skyworth is second to its total revenue for the whole year: HK$13 billion.
Other brands are much worse.
"The financial account's money makes a profit of US$4.1 billion, and there will be more revenue in the future. After a while, I will transfer part of the money to the company's operating account, and you use this money to privatize Gree, Supor, Little Swan, and Skyworth to Privatize Delisted.” Xu Liang explained.
Lei Jun nodded.
Privatization and delisting are strategies that have been decided long ago, otherwise the "smart home business group" will never be able to integrate into a real company and open up finance, personnel and channels.
Save costs and improve efficiency.
"How is Kunlun K2 mobile phone development?"
"The prototype has been released, but it is based on Samsung's 'APL0098' chip, and its functions are much worse than we originally expected.
The Tianshan S1 chip we developed ourselves has not yet been released."
< br>There are not many options available as smartphone chips around the world.
Apart from Samsung, it is Apple's own "APL0098", which is the well-known A4.
But even the A4 is improved based on Samsung processors, and it was not until the A5 that it truly embarked on the road of independent design.
Kunlun is the same, and is also using Samsung chips.
But Kunlun entered SOC design later than Apple. If Xu Liang had not spared money to spend money on design, he would have dug into Chinese chip design talents from all over the world.
I don't have the chance to make my own chip at all. "Can you take out the time for next year?"
Seeing that Lei Jun was hesitant, Xu Liang did not make things difficult for him.
"Forget it, according to our own time. But you have to communicate with SMIC to ensure that the chips we designed can be made for us."
"Yes."< br>
"Which stage has Liang Mengsong cooperated with SMIC?"
Lei Jun hesitated for a moment, "The two sides have not yet carried out substantial cooperation."
"Why?" Xu Liang frowned.
"SMIC advocates the development of 45nm chips, but Liang Mengsong feels that following the steps of overseas giants in this way, he will never really catch up with or even surpass the other party.
So he wants to give up the development of 45nm, and directly Researching 32nm, or even 28nm technology.
SMIC felt that it was whimsical and unrealistic.
Liang Mengsong felt that SMIC had no vision.
After meeting several times , the differences between the two sides are still difficult to bridge. Liang Mengsong has talked with me several times and suggested giving up cooperation with SMIC.
He said that being with these short-sighted guys was a waste of life. "Lei Jun smiled bitterly.
Xu Liang suddenly realized.
After Liang Liang joined Samsung, Samsung adopted FinFET technology and successfully achieved mass production of the 14nm process, and it was more than TSMC's 16nm process. Leading by half a year.
This technological breakthrough allowed Samsung to compete with TSMC and successfully grabbed orders from Apple and Qualcomm, causing a major blow to TSMC.
Now joining Kunlun, he The same development route will be chosen.
