My 1999

Chapter 834 Business 3.0

Listening to his complaints, Slit sighed in his heart.

He also didn't like the company's practice of cutting administrative expenses.

It's human nature to go from extravagance to frugality.

But he didn't object, and even welcomed the acquisition of Master Kong.

Because the other party changed the previous fixed dividend to a step-by-step one while cutting administrative expenses.

And it also increased the highest 15% dividend to 20%.

The money from the dividend will be paid to you in real life, which is much better than saving money to stay in a hotel or take a plane.

No matter how much money the latter has left or how much money is spent, it is just a change in the numbers on the company's books, and they will not get a penny more.

Comparing the two, for capable people, of course, Master Kong with high dividends is more welcome.

After complaining a few words, Kyle turned his head.

"Slit, I heard that 'Xu' will personally hold a meeting for us this time?"

"That's what the company's notice said, and didn't you notice that even Mr. Paul and Mr. Scott are here?"

Elgin Paul and Peter Scott, one was once the CEO of Hanson, and the other was the chairman of the board of directors of Hanson.

Because they were originally appointed by Hanhua, they were considered their own people.

So after transferring to Master Kong, except for the CFO, basically no one else moved.

"From Hanhua to Master Kong, Hanson has been acquired by Xu for almost five years, and I have never seen the big boss." Kyle said.

"I haven't seen it either.

I hope we can have a chance to communicate this time."

"I want to, too. But the possibility is not great. Only people like Mr. Paul and Mr. Scott have the opportunity." Kyle said enviously.

Slit was about to speak.

"Slit, do you know? Pacific No. 2 Fund is about to be unblocked."

Looking at his companion's excited eyes, Scott couldn't keep up with his jumping thoughts.

"Kyle, it looks like you've made a lot of money?"

"I'm nothing. I heard that Mr. Paul and Mr. Slit have made tens of millions of dollars."

Looking at 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.

Besides, before Hanhua unblocks the fund, no one knows how much money they have made.

Kyle's "rumor" is simply a lie.

But everyone is willing to believe this lie.

Especially as the "Pacific No. 2 Fund" is about to be unblocked, similar lies will increase.

Today he made 1 million, tomorrow he made 500,000.

None of them is true.

However, Slit also admitted that after Xu's acquisition, Hansen's staff turnover has dropped by 13 percentage points in the past five years, and it has been repeatedly selected in the business magazine's "Most Satisfied Companies" list.

The reason for this is mainly that employees of Xu's companies have the opportunity to invest in Hanhua's various funds.

Outside, financial institutions may not get much shares even if they beg for mercy.

But in Xu's, 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 made enough money to retire.

The two chatted casually and soon arrived at the hotel arranged by the company.

After a night's rest and adjusting to the time difference, they came to the Chinese Bank, the headquarters of Master Kong in Central Hong Kong, the next morning.

Li Jiacheng, who made a lot of money from Xu Liang, sold this building to him last year.

Although it was not the first time for Slit to come to Hong Kong, it was the first time for him to come to the company headquarters since it was acquired by Master Kong.

Under the guidance of the receptionist arranged by the company, he simply walked around the company and came to the conference room.

The furnishings in the conference room are very simple.

It is also very Chinese style.

There is a row of tables in front, followed by chairs, and then rows of them occupy all the space.

The rostrum is no different from an ordinary middle school podium.

Only the giant display screen at the back is very eye-catching.

"So many people?"

Looking at the densely packed people in the conference room, Kyle, who came with him, was shocked.

Slit did not expect so many people.

There are nearly 200 people from the front to the back.

But think about the introduction materials issued by the head office.

Slit understood it a little bit.

After all, Master Kong is an international beverage and catering giant, with business spanning China, Southeast Asia and the United States, eight mainstream brands and 19 different products.

According to the system of establishing a separate business unit for each product.

There are definitely many senior executives above K9 in Master Kong.

Even these in front of us do not include senior executives from the production and logistics end, otherwise there will be more.

"Hurry up and find a place to sit down, don't block the road."

After being reminded by him, Kyle chose a seat by the side.

It's not that he doesn't want to go inside, but his fat body doesn't allow it.

As more and more people came, gradually, except for the first row, it was basically full.

When the time came to 9:30 in the morning.

A tall and strong young man wearing a white T-shirt, light gray shorts, and black mesh sandals walked in.

The moment he appeared, he attracted everyone's attention like a magnet.

His deep eyes quickly swept over everyone.

Smiled slightly.

"Hello everyone, I am Xu Liang. I am very happy to see you all here today."

Wow...

Loud applause broke out.

Wait until the applause fades away.

"Since I acquired Jianlibao in 2001, it has been five years now.

In the past five years, Jianlibao has become Master Kong, and the group has also grown from one brand and one product to 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. It is a global beverage and food giant.

The company's employees have also increased from the initial 3,291 to the current 41,942, more than ten times.

All of this is inseparable from your dedication and efforts.

On behalf of the company's management and board of directors, I thank everyone for their efforts."

After another round of applause.

"As we sit here today, many people may have doubts in their hearts.

The company summary meeting for the first quarter has already been held, and it's still early for the second quarter to end. Why did you summon us all the way to Hong Kong?

Just because you are the boss, you can waste everyone's precious time?

No.

I can say this 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 20 years.

So we are sitting here today."

After a pause.

"I want to ask everyone a question, do you feel that it is getting harder and harder to make money?"

Many people nodded subconsciously.

"In fact, it is not that money is getting harder and harder to make, but that the Chinese economy, and even the world economy, is undergoing a major upgrade.

Many people have not yet realized, or have realized but not paid attention, that a truly great change is coming worldwide.

The first half of the world economy was completely over before 2005.

The second half has officially begun.

In the first half of the world economy, economic development was relatively extensive.

The success of most people is the result of the times, because they stand on the shoulders of giants.

Master Kong has its roots in China, so let's take China as an example.

The 'giants' in the Chinese market are the dividends brought by the rapid development of the Chinese economy.

After entering the second half, the core logic of business has changed fundamentally.

China's business, as well as global business, will enter the 3.0 era.

Facing the upcoming business 3.0 era, how we should adjust corporate management and product strategies and grasp the pulse of global economic development will be related to the survival of Master Kong in the next ten to twenty years."

After sweeping his eyes and seeing that everyone's attention was successfully attracted by him, Xu Liang continued.

"Maybe someone will 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.

In the 1.0 era of business, the underlying logic of business is to sell products and make a profit from the price difference.

Because the development time of each country is different, the beginning and end of this stage are different.

In China, from the reform and opening up to the mid-1990s, there was a relative shortage of goods. It was in the demographic dividend and low-cost dividend. Goods could be sold as soon as they were produced. It was a seller's market.

So in this era, as long as you dare to take risks and can handle product production and channel circulation, you can make money by earning the price difference.

Therefore, at that time, as long as you had a little business sense, you would not have a bad life.

Then came the 2.0 era of business, which was the era of the rise of brands.

The West was after the end of World War II, Japan and South Korea were after the 1960s and 1970s, and China was from the late 1990s to the present.

At this time At that time, people's lives began to improve slowly, the disposable funds in their hands gradually increased, and they began to pay attention to the quality of life.

Huaxia Jianlibao, Dabao, Huiyuan Juice and other brands.

American Coca-Cola, Procter \u0026 Gamble and others all rose in this era.

At this time, starting a business to make money, or running a business, needs 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 fattened up TV advertising.

But as 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 has gradually evolved into a buyer's market.

Next is the business 3.0 era that we are going to focus on today.

That is, the Internet era.

Before starting, let me show you a set of data. "

As he said, Xu Liang turned on the large screen behind him and operated the computer briefly.

A few lines of data appeared.

"As everyone has seen, in 2002, Master Kong (Jianlibao)'s monthly Internet revenue was less than 200,000 yuan, but now Master Kong's monthly Internet revenue has exceeded 260 million Chinese yuan.

It has grown nearly 1,300 times in less than five years.

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 has become more and more obvious.

It is time for us to ignore it, no, it should be said that we must pay attention to it.

With the continuous development of the Internet, the number of Internet users is increasing.

In five years at most, Master Kong's direct revenue from the Internet will exceed 50 billion Chinese yuan, or even higher.

The proportion of revenue will exceed 20%, or even 30%.
