Global Monopoly of Technology

The conference room was quiet, Luo Sheng slapped the financial report on the table, his eyes wandered around everyone, and said, "Every executive at the director level or above who is responsible for investment and operation management must reflect on it carefully. Write a review for everyone, including you!"

Write a review?

Everyone in the meeting was confused, only to see the president of the financial audit department pick up the report and read it carefully, and then pass it on to others to read.

As time passed by, everyone looked at what was wrong with the report, whether it was a fake account or something.

And Luo Sheng, who was sitting in the chief position, watched them silently and whispered, and after watching each other for a long time, he didn't find any problems with the annual report!

As for counterfeiting, it is impossible.

A multinational conglomerate with such a large scale on the Côte d’Azur has an astronomical figure of $100 billion in annual revenue. The audit department dares to make false accounts, and if they find out, they have to go to jail collectively. No.

At the end, when everyone saw that Luo Sheng wanted to speak, they all became silent in unison.

"Did you really not find out what the problem is?"

Everyone looked at each other, but still said nothing. After a while, the president of the financial audit department who attended the meeting said weakly, "Mr. Luo, it should be fine, right? There is indeed no audit disclosure!"

"Yes, indeed not."

Other executives who attended the meeting echoed, they did not see any problems with the annual report, and they were absolutely certain.

On the contrary, the 2013 annual report was exceptionally bright.

Luo Sheng took a deep breath and said succinctly: "The problem is not the audit itself, but the excessive profits."

What?

Everyone is confused again, the problem is that the profit is too high? What kind of question is this?

Luo Sheng looked around the executives who attended the meeting and emphasized again: "This year's net profit margin is as high as 25%, which is 12 points higher than last year. What's the problem?"

At this moment, even everyone including Yao Jianhong didn't understand what Luo Sheng meant by these words, and even felt unbelievable.

Shouldn't this be happy?

Cote d'Azur 2013 annual report total global sales amounted to 221.8 billion US dollars, net profit of 55.45 billion US dollars, the net profit rate reached 25%.

This is the second company created by Luo Sheng, whose annual revenue has exceeded 200 billion US dollars. The previous one was Bluestar Technology Group, which achieved 203 billion US dollars.

Now Bluestar Technology's revenue has almost been cut in half, and the profit margin has also been greatly reduced by self-adjustment.

Bluestar Technology has fallen, but the Cote d'Azur has taken off at this time, and with a net profit of US$55.45 billion, it has become the most profitable company in the world's top 500.

Seeing that everyone didn't understand why, Luo Sheng had to explain: "If we invest more and more in strategy today, it means that we will face less dangers and difficulties tomorrow, and if we invest less, the profit will be less. Too high means to a large extent that our investment in research and development is not enough, and too little investment in research and development means that our ability to resist risks is not high enough, and this is the problem.”

In the conference room at this moment, apart from Luo Sheng's tepid reprimand, all the executives present were honest and silent. Although they were tepid, it also depended on who was speaking.

But when they heard this, everyone's heart was dumbfounded.

Does the big boss think that the company is not investing enough in R\u0026D? You must know that the R\u0026D investment of the Côte d'Azur now exceeds 40 billion US dollars a year.

No company in the world, even in history, has such a strong R\u0026D investment.

If you add it further, it will surpass that of a single developed country. You must know that the current R\u0026D investment of the Riviera has already hoisted Indu. As a big country, the total scale of scientific research funding last year was more than 30 billion US dollars...

Everyone really can't understand, is it necessary to throw money so crazy?

But only Luo Sheng is very clear that the Cote d'Azur must be crazy about technology, and how can the investment be comparable to that of a country? It is too dreamless to just hang up the printing and crossing, not to mention that in the future, it will face the blow of a world hegemony from the old and the United States with the power of a single country.

At this time, Luo Sheng spoke again: "What does such a high profit mean? It means that we have sold too many things, but have our products improved to match it? Is there any preparation in five or eight years? What? I didn't see it in this annual report."

Speaking of which, Luo Sheng pointed to the annual report document lying on the conference table: "I said at the press conference last month that any so-called genuine Azure original mobile phone film on the market is fake, without the authorization of the Côte d'Azur, Ok, the original original products are all out, who gave the authorization? A mobile phone film is sold for seventy or eighty yuan if it is authorized by the company's brand? I paid forty or fifty yuan for the authorization fee, and the company's profit is just like this. came up."

Everyone in the meeting shut up and seemed to realize why the big boss was so annoyed. If nothing else, the phone sticker alone slapped the boss in the face.

This Nima really made money and hit the muzzle of the gun.

"Mr. Luo..." After a moment of silence, Yao Jianhong spoke up. He is the executive vice president and executive director of Côte d'Azur, and Luo Sheng basically doesn't care about the company's daily operations. It can be said that the company's management problems are his Yao Jianhong. question, it is impossible to keep silent.

But just as he was speaking, Luo Sheng raised his hand to stop him, and continued: "This is not your problem, I am the CEO, my problem in this position, the middle-level managers have this right under this kind of authorization problem, for the sake of Performance and bonus allotment, in theory, this is not wrong, or even right, but the wrong is not to give others a way to live, not to give others a way to live is not to give yourself a way to live, the road is getting narrower and narrower.”

Luo Sheng looked at everyone with a solemn look: "Sometimes, I know that I can earn some money, but I must give up the money and leave it to others to earn it. So many colleagues hate us, of course they have problems, but we Is there no problem at all? I think there is still a little bit, at least there is a problem in the aspect of making friends. Wealth gathers people, and wealth gathers people."

"Then if one day in the future, Laomei will make a three-pronged approach to the Côte d'Azur like Bluestar Technology, our products have achieved 55% of the domestic supply chain support, and several core technologies are in our hands, but still 45% of them need foreign supply chain support, of which North America accounts for 33%. If they cut off your supply chain, who will help you at this time? Are you alone or uncomfortable?"

"So, we can easily earn some money, but for the sake of the overall situation and the long-term future, we must give up this money and leave it to others to earn it, so that others can get up quickly; then our R\u0026D investment is a little more, and a little more ." Luo Sheng tapped on the table and said earnestly, everyone was honest, these people who attended the meeting were seen by the outside world as well-known bigwigs in the industry, but at this moment they were honestly trained.

Luo Sheng paused for a moment, glanced at the annual report on the table and immediately picked it up and waved it, adding in a statement tone: "Give me a reasonable cut of 25% of the net profit to 8%, before the end of this year. Send the solution to my office."

Yao Jianhong replied: "I understand Mr. Luo, I don't need to deal with this issue within a month at the end of the year. If I can't deal with it, I will take full responsibility."

This is the taste of a military order, and this is definitely not an easy task. Many people think that it is the most difficult for enterprises to make money. In fact, spending money is the hardest. Spending money is not random, but reasonable. It is difficult to see the expected return on spending.

Hearing Lao Yao's personal assurance, Luo Sheng said nothing, nodded, threw the annual report in his hand on the conference table and got up.

"Let's go."

He left the conference room after leaving such a sentence. Before he left, everyone else sat in their seats honestly.

Although everyone present is much older than Luo Sheng in age, he felt a lot of pressure even when he reprimanded in a tepid tone, especially the president of the financial audit department, who was really scared before, fortunately, The annual report audit is fine.

After all, no matter how gentle Luo Sheng's tone is, his position is there, and the nature of the matter is also there.

The first-in-command left, and now the second-in-command's face immediately turned ashen.

In comparison, everyone is more afraid of Yao Jianhong, because he is the one who is currently in charge. Luo Sheng does not necessarily come to the company every week. The daily operation and management of the company is actually handled by Yao Jianhong.

"Ten minutes later, call a meeting of the management at the level of the company director and above!"

After saying that, the second-in-command Lao Yao also got up and left the conference room.

Everyone present looked at each other in dismay, and they all knew that after today's executive board meeting ended, the middle management within the company was afraid to carry out a "big optimization" operation.

Although Luo Sheng didn't blame Yao Jianhong, everyone knew that Lao Yao was the most shameless.

Both the first-in-command who likes to be the master of the hands and the second-in-command who actually do the first-in-command are gone. Everyone is finally relieved.

"We can earn some money, but if we don't earn it, let others earn it... You've never heard any entrepreneur dare to say this. Except for President Luo, who would dare to say that?"

"Aside from work matters, emotionally speaking, I wanted to shout out the word 'bull pen' at the time, but I held back."

"Haha~"

"But there is indeed a saying, you can't accept it, maybe this is the pattern and mind. Looking at all the big names in the business world at home and abroad in this state, I think except for President Luo, I am afraid that it is Mr. Ren. Well, apart from these two, I really can't find a third person who can reach this rank, I am ashamed of myself, I am ashamed of myself."

"Don't be ashamed, there's another meeting in seven or eight minutes, so hurry up and clean up."

"Yeah, Mr. Luo requested that the company's net profit be reduced to 8%, and the pressure was placed on Lao Yao. If Lao Yao compressed it for another month, none of us would be able to escape."

"Horrible...the first-level official crushes people to death."

"Wait for Lao Yao to roar at the meeting later."

"Don't think about it, the authorization issue of the mobile phone film that President Luo mentioned is under the jurisdiction of the department under my control. If Lao Yao spit on me, Xingzi can't escape. When I look back, I will scold my subordinate to relieve my anger. It's time to scold me. The scolding, the speculation that should be made, and the trouble for labor and capital."

"Let's go! Let's go! It's really annoying to have to write Luo Shizi's review after the meeting."

Sure enough, at the company's impromptu meeting a few minutes later, Yao Jianhong opened his mouth with a fragrance to all the participants.

Compared with Luo Sheng, who rarely gets angry in front of his subordinates, he is elegant and easy-going but not arrogant. The difference is that once Lao Yao gets angry at an internal meeting, he can be called a tyrant, and when he speaks, he starts with "labor and capital". It means that it is absolutely indispensable to be scolded bloody.

At this point, Zhang Bowen next door is also a meeting tyrant now. The two are almost exactly the same, and the people below also don't want to have a meeting with them, but the worst thing is that they can't refuse.

In fact, in the early days of the development of the two companies, Luo Sheng was not very much a shopkeeper. Whether it was Yao Jianhong or Zhang Bowen, he did not lose his temper very much. Even if he disclosed it at work, he would not directly It smells fragrant when it comes up.

But now, as long as there is a problem at work, the mouth must be fragrant.

This change is not accidental. If Luo Sheng is in their position now, he will definitely evolve into a tyrant.

Because the scale of the two companies is really too big now, unlike before, managing such a large super-giant multinational group is very tiring, especially mentally, most of the time you have to concentrate or even tense your nerves at work, In charge of all aspects of business operations.

The company will not roar when there is a big problem, but if it is a small problem, it will directly breathe out fragrance.

In their worldview, it is unbearable for some minor flaws to appear. They started scolding them at the beginning, but if there is a big problem, they will definitely not get angry. At this time, as long as the mind is clear, it is the top priority to solve the problem.

In fact, this is not uncommon. There are studio tyrants like Cameron in the film industry, and the late Joe Gang leader in Silicon Valley is also a workplace tyrant.

They all have the same thing, they are all people who are directly in charge. .

And just when Yao Jianhong started to "optimize" the personnel structure within the Côte d'Azur, the North American side had begun to focus on Luo Sheng's two companies, Côte d'Azur and Bluestar Technology, to formulate a new round of attacks, and the intensity was It was even worse than last year's attack on Bluestar Technology.
