My 1999

Xu Liang nodded slightly, "Is there more?"

Xia Changsheng is not stupid, he can see that the big boss is not very satisfied with his answer.

I couldn't help but recall the three-year development plan submitted by Torch Group at the beginning of the year.

After thinking for a long time, an idea flashed in my mind.

"Maybe a little conservative."

"Tell me more specifically."

Looking at the big boss's calm eyes, Xia Changsheng knew that he had guessed correctly.

As the COO of Hongyan, he has been with the big boss for many years, and he also has a certain understanding of some of Xu Liang’s ideas.

“The Torch development plan formulated by Peng Zhiyu has spent almost 90% of the energy and financial resources on the research of traditional gearboxes, car chassis, spark plugs and other accessories.

There is not enough investment in batteries, electronic controls, and motors, and there is a lack of detailed planning. "

Xu Liang sighed: "At the beginning, I told him to overtake on corners and put more resources into the research of three electric vehicles. Lao Peng followed suit. He felt that under the current conditions, it would be impossible for electric vehicles to be practical within ten years. .

Therefore, we need to accumulate technology first and don’t need to invest too many resources at the beginning.

When battery density increases, it will not be too late to invest heavily in developing three-power systems.

To be fair, his decision was indeed sound.

Step by step, use the minimum resources to get the maximum results.

but.

This is not what I want. "

What he wants is to truly use electric power as the foundation for the future development of Torch Group, including automobiles, engineering vehicles, trucks, heavy trucks, sanitation trucks, school buses, etc.

We all need to start accumulating electric technology from now on.

From small to big, first easy and then difficult.

He wants the Torch to become China’s ‘Tesla’, rather than ending when everything is ready.

He put so many resources into the torch, not to let it become a mediocre follower.

"You should communicate with Mr. Peng."

Xu Liang shook his head.

“I had already communicated with him when we first acquired Delong to form Torch Group.

Moreover, the operating philosophy is different and forcing him to implement it will result in half the result with twice the result. "

Xia Changsheng wisely said no more.

He saw that the big boss was already interested in adjusting the Torch Group. No one but the big boss could intervene in such sensitive personnel issues.

At this time Li Jinling came over.

"Mr. Xu."

"What happened?"

"I just received the news that it will be Mr. Li Zhaoji's 80th birthday in a week. He invites you to attend his birthday party at the Peninsula Hotel."

"Fourth uncle's birthday?"

Xu Liang took out his cell phone and called.

Li Zhaoji is his closest partner in Xiangjiang. The acquisition of Standard Chartered's equity, the acquisition of Master Kong's equity, and even the acquisition of Vivendi have all been of great help.

The call was answered quickly.

As an older Xiangjiang native, Li Zhaoji speaks Mandarin very well.

"Xu Sheng, I heard that you have arrived in Xiangjiang?"

"Just arrived yesterday. Fourth uncle, I remember you won't celebrate your eightieth birthday next year?"

"We Shunde people are very particular about passing nine but not ten, so we go one year in advance."

"So that's it."

"Xu Sheng, I will be having a drink at the Peninsula Hotel in a week to celebrate my birthday. You must come."

"My fourth uncle is an elder. He has helped me so much in the past. No matter how busy he is, I will be there in person for your eightieth birthday."

"Haha, I'm so happy when you say that. ... Do you have time tonight? I'll treat you to dinner."

"Thank you in advance, Fourth Uncle, but I'm busy with Guangdong Development Bank's acquisitions these days, so I'm afraid I won't have time to go there."

"Do you need my help?"

"When my fourth uncle needs to take action, I will definitely speak up."

"No matter what happens, as long as you ask, I will definitely help."

"Then let me thank Fourth Uncle first."

"Don't be so polite..."

The two chatted for a while, and Xu Liang hung up the phone.

"My fourth uncle likes calligraphy and paintings from the Republic of China. You can buy one for about 3 million yuan."

Li Jinling agreed.

Looked at the time.

"It's almost noon, let's go and eat."

Invite Xia Changsheng to the company restaurant.

Although it is not very big, the dishes are rich.

After noticing the big boss, the surrounding employees greeted him one after another.

Xu Liang said hello with a smile, and continued to discuss company matters with Xia Changsheng after lunch.

It was only in the evening that I returned to the Xu family manor in Tianbigao.

After playing with the children for a while, Xu Liang took Qiao Yuhui and Zhang Junning to the study.

As long as Xu Liang is around, the two of them will take a certain amount of time to talk about work.

Not only can you gain wisdom and solve problems.

This is also an emotional communication.

Talk more and talk more to understand each other.

"I looked at Guanshengyuan's information again at the company today. I want to sell the rice wine business." Qiao Yuhui said.

"Why?"

"The market is too narrow. Except for Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, to be precise, except Zhejiang, the rice wine market in other provinces is very small.

The total market share of rice wine nationwide is less than 10 billion, and it is still declining.

At present, there is no drinking scene of rice wine on the market.

I am not optimistic about the future development of rice wine. "

"As a low-alcohol wine, haven't you always been optimistic about the future of rice wine?"

“Rice wine is different from rice wine. The latter is only available in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, but the former can cover the whole country.

Moreover, low-alcohol rice wine is more in line with the needs of women, so Master Kong’s rice wine has always been mainly consumed by women.

We advocate "light drinking" and pursue a hazy and lazy state of drunkenness without being greedy for drinks or getting drunk.

Entertainment and companionship are the main appeals of Master Kong's brand rice wine.

Paying attention to design, pursuing appearance and sense of ceremony are our brand characteristics.

Therefore, although the development of rice wine is not fast, it is always moving upward. "

Xu Liang was a little surprised, "It has only been half a year since you acquired Huaxia Winery, and you have already figured out the development strategy for rice wine?"

"You are really confused. Huaxia Liquor only has beer, liquor and wine. How can it have rice wine business?"

After rolling her eyes at him, Qiao Yuhui continued.

"Before acquiring Huaxia Liquor, Master Kong was preparing to develop the rice wine business, so it did a lot of research and preparation work in advance, and also thought about the specific consumer groups and drinking scenarios."

"That's right, don't fight an unprepared battle."

Xu Liang praised.

"So you agree to my selling the rice wine business?"

"You are responsible for the specific management of Master Kong. If you want to sell it, then sell it."

After all, it's not a big business with billions in revenue.

"You finally exchanged it. Of course I have to ask clearly."

"One more thing, I am going to change the group's registration information so that 'Master Kong' will only be used as a brand, not the name of the entire group."

"Why? Isn't the name Master Kang bad?"

"Master Kong's instant noodles have a deep impression on the Chinese market. When people mention Master Kong, they think we are an instant noodle company. In fact, we are not just an instant noodle company, but also a world-class food giant."

"What name do you want to change?"

"Kanghua Group, remove the word "master" and redesign the group's logo."

Xu Liang repeated it twice, and the name was not unpleasant, so he did not object anymore.

He also asked about Zhang Junning's meeting today and the next development plan of Guowu Sports. After a brief exchange, he let them leave.

Xu Liang is full of energy and his natural recovery ability is stronger than ordinary people.

So he usually goes to bed late.

Thinking of today's exchange with Xia Changsheng, he retrieved Torch Group's operating information, financial reports, and development plans from the laptop he carried with him.

Thoughts swirled and fell in my mind, and after a long time I took a long breath.

His businesses are divided into three types.

The first type requires his constant attention, the other type requires his occasional attention, and the last type does not require his attention at all.

Hanhua, Hongyan, Kanghua, Facebook, Vivendi, and Hynix are the first.

Hanhua and Hongyan are key financial companies and money bags that must be paid attention to frequently.

Kanghua, Facebook, Vivendi, and Hynix are managed by the women around them, and their rise to power is mainly due to Xu Liang.

Lest they make mistakes and make themselves the laughingstock of others, he needs constant attention.

The second type is Hongmeng, Taihua, Unocal, Global Travel, Torch, Harvest, Denong, etc.

They are all run by excellent professional managers, and Xu Liang only needs to pay attention to operations and financial reports occasionally.

The last one is BOE, SMIC, Kunlun Technology, BYD, Penguin, Alibaba, etc.

Because history has proven that they will succeed, you don't need to worry about it at all, they will succeed.

So no need to waste energy.

With more and more companies under his banner, Xu Liang's own energy is limited, and the number of companies in the first category cannot be reduced.

The best way to save energy is to reduce the number of second-category enterprises and increase the number of third-category enterprises.

"The kids are getting older and I need to find time to teach them."

Thinking of this, Xu Liang made up his mind.
