Chapter 834 Business 3.0
Listening to his complaints, Slit sighed inwardly.
He also doesn't like the company's approach to cutting administrative expenses.
It is human nature that it is difficult to transition from luxury to frugality.
But he did not object and even welcomed Master Kong’s acquisition.
Because while reducing administrative expenses, the other party changed the previous fixed dividend into a stepped one.
And the maximum dividend of 15% has been increased to 20%.
The money you get from dividends will actually go to your hands, which is much better than saving money to stay in hotels or fly.
No matter how much money the latter has left or how much they spend, it is just a numerical change on the company's books, and they will not be given an extra penny at all.
Comparing the two, of course those with the ability would prefer Master Kong’s high dividends.
After complaining for a few words, Kyle turned his head.
"Slit, I heard that 'Xu' will hold a meeting for us in person this time?"
"That's what the company's notice said, and you didn't notice that even Mr. Paul and Si Is Mr. Cotter here?”
Elgin Paul and Peter Scott, one was the former CEO of Hansen Company, and the other was the chairman of the board of directors of Hansen Company.
Because they were originally appointed by Hanhua and were considered their own people.
So after transferring to Tingyi, except for the chief financial officer, everyone else basically remained unchanged.
“From Hanhua to Master Kong, it has been almost five years since Hansen was acquired by Xu, and I have never seen the big BOSS.” Kyle said.
"I haven't seen it either.
I hope I have the opportunity to communicate this time."
"I think so too. But it's unlikely. Mr. Paul and Scott Only people like Mr. Te have the opportunity," Kyle said with envy.
Slit was about to speak.
"Slit, did you know? The Pacific 2 Fund will be unblocked soon."
Looking at the excited eyes of his companion, Scott couldn't keep up with his jumping. ideas.
“Kyle, it looks like you’ve made a lot of money?”
“Who am I? I heard that Mr. Paul and Mr. Sleater made tens of millions of dollars.”
>
Seeing his envious look, Slit couldn't help but shake his head.
Everyone’s investment account is an absolute secret and cannot be disclosed to anyone.
Moreover, no one knew how much money they made before Hanhua unblocked the fund.
Kyle’s ‘gossip’ is simply a lie.
But everyone is willing to believe this lie.
Especially as the "Pacific 2 Fund" is about to be unblocked, there will be more and more similar lies.
Today he earned 1 million, and tomorrow he earned 500,000.
None of it is true.
However, Sleet also admitted that after Xu's acquisition, Hanson's personnel turnover dropped by 13 percentage points in the five years, and it has been repeatedly included in the rankings of "Companies with the Most Satisfied Employees" by business magazines.
The reason for this is mainly that employees of Xu's companies have the opportunity to invest in various funds under Hanhua.
Outside, financial institutions may not necessarily get much share even if they beg grandpa or grandma.
But in the Xu family, everyone has a quota of 100,000 US dollars.
Of course there will be more senior executives.
Based on such benefits, no one is willing to leave unless they have earned enough money to prepare for retirement.
The two chatted for a while, and soon arrived at the hotel arranged by the company.
After a night's rest and getting over the jet lag, I arrived at Master Kong's Hong Kong Central headquarters 'Chinese Walk' the next morning.
Li Jiacheng, who made a huge profit from Xu Liang, sold this building to him last year.
Although this is not the first time for Slite to come to Xiangjiang, it is the first time for him to come to the company headquarters since being acquired by Master Kong.
Under the guidance of the reception staff arranged by the company, we simply walked around the company and arrived at the conference room.
The furnishings in the conference room are very simple.
Very Chinese style too.
A row of tables in front, followed by chairs, and then rows occupying all the space.
The podium is no different from an ordinary middle school podium.
Only the giant display screen at the back is eye-catching.
“So many people?”
Looking at the dense crowd of people in the conference room, Kyle, who was also here, was startled.
Slit didn’t expect so many people.
From front to back there were almost two hundred people.
But think about the introduction materials distributed by the head office.
Slit somewhat understood.
After all, Master Kong is an international beverage and catering giant, with business spanning China, Southeast Asia and the United States. It owns eight mainstream brands and 19 different products.
A separate business unit is established for each product.
There are definitely many senior executives above K9 level in Master Kong.
Even the ones in front of me do not include executives from the production side and logistics, otherwise there would be more.
“Find a place to sit quickly, don’t block the road.”
After being reminded by him, Kyle reacted and chose a seat next to him.
It's not that he doesn't want to go inside, but his fat body doesn't allow it.
As the number of people increased, gradually, except for the first row, everyone was almost full.
The waiting time came to 9:30 in the morning.
A tall and muscular young man wearing a white T-shirt, light gray shorts, and black mesh sandals walked in.
The moment he appeared, he was like a magnet, attracting everyone's attention.
The deep eyes quickly swept over everyone. Smile slightly.
“Hello everyone, I’m Xu Liang. I’m glad to see you all here today.”
Wow….
Loud applause broke out.
Wait until the applause disappears.
“It has been the fifth year since I acquired Jianlibao in 2001.
In the past five years, Jianlibao has become Master Kong, and the group has also changed from one brand to one product. It has become a global beverage and food giant with eight mainstream brands, 19 first-line products, total revenue of more than 50 billion Hong Kong dollars, and a market value of nearly 200 billion Hong Kong dollars.
The company's employees have also grown from 3,291 at the beginning. Now there are 41,942 people, more than ten times.
None of this would be possible without your dedication and dedication.
On behalf of the company's management and board of directors, I would like to thank everyone for their hard work. "
After another round of applause.
"Everyone sitting here today, many people will have doubts in their hearts.
The first quarter company summary meeting has already been held, and the second quarter is still early to end. Why did you summon us all the way to Xiangjiang?
Is it because you are the boss that you can waste everyone's precious time?
No.
I can say it responsibly.
Today’s meeting will be the most important meeting after Master Kong acquired Jianlibao. It will determine the company’s product strategy and development direction for the next twenty years.
So we are sitting here today. ”
After a pause.
“I want to ask you a question, do you feel that money is getting harder and harder to make?”
Many people nodded subconsciously.
“In fact, it’s not that it’s getting harder to make money, but that the Chinese economy and even the world economy are completing a major upgrade.
Many people haven’t realized it yet, or they have realized it but don’t care. , a real big change is coming around the world
The first half of the world economy was completely over before 2005.
The second half officially begins.
In the first half of the world economy, economic development was relatively extensive.
The success of the vast majority of people is the result of the help of the times, because they stand on the shoulders of giants.
Master Kong’s foundation is in China, so let’s take China as an example.
The ‘giant’ of the Chinese market is the dividend brought by the rapid development of the Chinese economy.
After entering the second half, the core logic of business has fundamentally changed.
Chinese business, as well as global business, will enter the 3.0 era.
Facing the coming Business 3.0 era, how we should adjust corporate management and product strategies and grasp the pulse of global economic development will determine the survival of Master Kong in the next ten or twenty years. "
Looking around, Xu Liang continued after seeing that everyone's attention was successfully attracted to him.
"Someone may want to ask.
What is the 3.0 era?
What is the difference between the so-called 1.0 and 2.0 eras?
Next we will discuss them one by one.
< br>In the era of Business 1.0, the underlying logic of business is to sell products and make a profit.
Because each country develops at different times, the beginning and end of this stage are different.
As for China, from the reform to the mid-1990s, there was a relative shortage of goods. It was enjoying a demographic dividend and a low-cost dividend. Goods could be sold as soon as they were produced. It was a proper seller's market.
So in this era, as long as you dare to venture and work hard, and can handle product production and channel circulation, you can make money by earning the price difference.
So at that time, as long as you had a little business acumen, your life would not be bad.
Then comes the Business 2.0 era, which is the era of the rise of brands.
In the West, it started after the end of World War II, in Japan and South Korea, it started in the 1960s and 1970s, and in China, it started in the late 1990s and continues until now.
At this time, people's lives began to slowly improve, they had more and more funds at their disposal, and they began to pay attention to the quality of life.
Huaxia Jianlibao, Dabao, Huiyuan Juice and other brands.
American Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, etc. all emerged in this era.
At this time, starting a business to make money, or running a business, you need to pay more attention to the brand.
At the same time, quality and price will also highlight the advantages, and there will be more room for profit.
So in this era, many brands directly fatten up TV advertisements.
But as there are more and more brands, although the population is also increasing rapidly, new markets are constantly emerging around the world, and there are more and more choices.
The market gradually evolved into a buyer's market.
The next step is the Business 3.0 era that we are going to focus on today.
That is the Internet era.
Before we begin, let me show you a set of data. "
Speaking, Xu Liang opened the big screen at the back and briefly operated the computer.
A few lines of data appeared.
"Everyone has seen it. In 2002, the total monthly Internet income of Master Kong (Jianlibao) was less than 200,000 yuan, but now Master Kong’s monthly Internet income has exceeded 260 million Chinese yuan.
In less than five years, it has grown nearly 1,300 times.
The proportion of Internet revenue in Master Kong’s total revenue has increased from less than 0.1% at the beginning to 5.5% now.
The trend is becoming more and more obvious.
The time has come when we cannot ignore it, no, it should be said that we must pay attention to it.
As the Internet continues to develop, the number of Internet users is increasing.
In five years at most, Master Kong’s direct online revenue will exceed 50 billion Chinese dollars, or even higher.
The revenue proportion will exceed 20%, or even 30%.
