Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 351 Bird Company

Gao Fuxing looked at the employees who were leaving happily, and felt a lot in his heart. He learned about Li Weidong's transfer in Shanghai from Zheng Sijing's secretary.

A qualified business leader should not only care about the problems of the company itself, but also care about the problems outside the company. Therefore, he and Shen Dongkui have a division of labor. He is in charge of external affairs, while Shen Dongkui is in charge of internal affairs.

Gao Fuxing pays more attention to external matters, such as relevant policies and which pharmaceutical companies he wants to cooperate with. Of course, the most important thing is to contact the major shareholders.

The shareholders of Dongxing Pharmaceutical are Ruibos Holdings and Jingwei Investment. Jingwei Investment is a subsidiary of Ruibos Holdings, so Ruibos Holdings is its only shareholder.

They have both an equity relationship and a brotherly relationship with Jingwei Investment, and Zheng Sijing knows Li Weidong, and he is very polite and considerate to people Li Weidong likes.

The Shanghai office of Jingwei Investment is not far from Dongxing Pharmaceutical, so it is natural to have close contact. Gao Fuxing is also a person who understands the rules, so naturally he gets along well with Zheng Sijing.

When Li Weidong came to Shanghai for a layover, Gao Fuxing would naturally get the news, and since Li Weidong had no intention of concealing it, Zheng Sijing could naturally reveal it under appropriate circumstances.

Therefore, Gao Fuxing needs to thank Zheng Sijing properly. Without the information disclosed by Zheng Sijing, they would not be able to meet Li Weidong, and Li Weidong would not be able to visit their company, and he would not propose to increase investment.

What is a coincidence? This is that if the same report were given at another time, it might not be effective for Li Weidong. If Li Weidong could not be touched, there would naturally be no investment.

The two glanced at each other, and both could see the excitement in their eyes. Although the investment money belonged to the company and Li Weidong's equity, the company's development would undoubtedly accelerate a lot.

Biomedicine is an emerging industry, and it naturally needs to race against time. Especially at critical moments, a large amount of money must be spent on various experiments.

Li Weidong left Dongxing Medical and asked the driver to take him to Hudong. If he didn't come here to see this frontier of reform and opening up, he would always feel a little regretful.

Of course, it is a pity to come to Hudong at this time. It has only been developed for more than three years and the management committee has only been established for one year. How much achievements can be made.

Many of the roads are dirt roads, with potholes everywhere due to the crushing of various construction vehicles. They look very desolate and do not look like development zones of later generations.

There were none of those iconic buildings. Seeing this, Li Weidong's face was filled with excitement. This was a good opportunity.

"Tell Chen Gu to buy land here, just buy it near the corner of the river, buy as much as you can, and tell him I said it!" Li Weidong ordered with a firm tone.

It doesn’t take long to buy and hoard land. It only takes two or three years to double it. If you build it yourself, the profit will be even greater. Chen Gu mainly focuses on commercial real estate. It is possible to build a landmark building that will not be seen in the future. .

Zhang Dongshuo, who was accompanying him, immediately nodded to express his understanding. Huo Rui looked at the surrounding open space and felt incredible, but he was completely convinced by Li Weidong's words, which were more effective than the imperial edict.

"Brother, how about I also invest in building a factory?" Huo Rui asked uncertainly.

"You'd better forget it. This is a high-tech development zone. Your things are too different from high-tech!" Li Weidong looked at Huo Rui and shook his head.

"Brother, we are considered a high-tech industry. The household products we produce also require research and technology. Are you saying that there should be a ceramics research institute for this ceramics?"

Huo Rui quickly said that he could not let Li Weidong have this impression. After two years of development, their IKEA is no longer the original workshop-style production model.

They have been formalized, modernized, and even organized into groups. They already control more than a dozen companies, and they operate everything that is used by ordinary people at home.

These companies are not large in scale, but their input and output are relatively fast. Some companies can see profits in the same year of investment, so as long as their cash flow continues, they can expand very quickly.

Li Weidong agreed when he heard that there are now a proliferation of various research institutes, and both academies have already selected academicians. Naturally, localities follow each other, and it is normal to establish research institutes.

It is said that the entrance to the Academy of Sciences has suddenly become popular. Every day, people are nominating themselves with their own inventions or research results to become academicians.

And at this time, it’s really hard to say what high-tech is. There are so many people who believe in turning water into oil, let alone a real invention.

"Then you should give it a try. If the government agrees, I have no objection. This place is a treasure!"

It was a wasteland with nothing to see, so we had to let the driver drive around as he pleased, as long as he walked, there was no need to stick to any direction.

Huo Rui wanted to invite Li Weidong to visit them, but their companies were too scattered, and the headquarters was still the small factory it was two years ago, which was too shabby.

"Brother, do you think we can form a group company? Now each company is operated independently, and all factories are self-contained, which increases a lot of management costs and operating costs. If a group company is established, it will become

A legal entity is equivalent to internal transfer, which can save a lot of taxes and fees!"

Li Weidong looked at Huo Rui in surprise. He didn't know if he came up with this method by himself or if he heard someone mention it. But being able to propose it is progress.

"That's okay. I agree. You can do it boldly. You won't be afraid of anything happening as long as you dare to do it. People say that I will treat you with admiration for three days. You did a good job. It's a good idea to have this idea!"

Li Weidong was very satisfied. He was indeed the person he was optimistic about at the beginning. He only handed over IKEA to him because of Huo Rui's stability. Now it seems that the effect is quite good.

In just two years, IKEA has grown from a small factory with one or two hundred people to a large enterprise with thousands of employees. The momentum of expansion has not slowed down. The key is that profitability continues to increase and the financial situation is getting better and better.

According to Huo Rui, although their scale is small, their capital turnover rate is very fast, and it is expected that their output value will be close to 100 million by the end of the year.

This shocked Li Weidong. These days are not the kind of Internet companies of later generations. They can easily be valued at billions or tens of billions, and the units are measured in US dollars.

The total output value of Shanghai last year was more than 150 billion, and most of this output value was in the hands of large state-owned enterprises. How many private enterprises can have an annual output value of over 100 million yuan?

"You have laid a good foundation. We are just moving forward according to your requirements!" Huo Ruiwen said solemnly.

Li Weidong looked at him in surprise, why did he suddenly become so formal? "Why are you still doing this to me? Take a rest and talk properly, in human terms?"

"Hey, I feel awkward too. I feel quite comfortable when listening to what others say. But when it's my turn to say something, I feel awkward no matter what!" Huo Rui said, touching his head.

If he were asked to say things like going up mountains of swords and going down seas of fire, he could say it very smoothly. It was too difficult for him to say these things, but his secretary told him that he would have to say this in the future to appear literate.

Although Huo Rui thought he was right, he still wanted to protest. When Li Weidong met Huo Rui, he knew that he was a gangster who graduated from junior high school. Even if he pretended to be a cultured person, Li Weidong might not believe this.

"Brother, don't worry, I'm sure I can do a good job at IKEA. If I don't do well, I won't have the shame to go back to Qizhou to see you. I will go straight to the east sea and jump into the sea!" Huo Rui continued.

"How can you jump down?" Li Weidong said with a straight face.

When Huo Rui heard what Li Weidong said, he didn't know how to answer it. He just said it casually, should he take it seriously? Although he said that he was not joking, he was not an emperor.

"You have to tie a stone and jump down, otherwise you won't be able to sink, and if you float up again, your face will be so scary!"

Everyone wanted to laugh after hearing this, but considering that it was Huo Rui's fault, they all held back and did not dare to laugh out loud.

"Brother, you are really good at joking!" Huo Rui smiled and touched his face. He didn't seem so ugly. His wife said he was handsome.

"Brother, you said before that you would set up a home life museum or something like that. Place the pots, pans, and household items for guests to come in and visit!"

"We are also studying this matter recently and plan to build one in Bao'an. I hope you will correct me when the time comes!" Huo Rui said with a smile.

"Okay, that's no problem!" Li Weidong agreed simply. He had a lot of useful things in his mind. He was usually willing to give advice to his subordinates even if he had nothing to do.

After driving around in Hudong, the car was covered with mud. When we arrived at the Peace Hotel again, the security guard at the door kept staring at the car. If the sign on the car hadn't been very conspicuous, he would not have opened the door but asked.

.

Li Weidong arrived at the hotel, sat on the sofa and chatted with Huo Rui for a few words. After drinking two cups of tea, he felt like dozing off.

"I'll take a nap first and wake me up when Lao Zheng arrives!" Li Weidong said with a yawn.

I was sleepy in spring, autumn, and took a nap in summer. After flying for several hours and riding in a car for several hours, it was normal to be tired. The weather was so hot that it made me sleepy.

"Okay, Chairman, please rest first!" Pan Yonghua quickly stood up and said respectfully.

As for whether to wait for Zheng Sijing to come and wake up Li Weidong, Pan Yonghua didn't have the courage, and he believed Zheng Sijing wouldn't do it either.

In the summer, the air conditioner is a good environment for sleeping. With the air conditioner turned on fully, Li Weidong wrapped himself in an air-conditioned quilt and slept soundly. When he woke up again, it was already dark outside.

Li Weidong got up and went to the toilet to fill some water, washed his face before walking out of the room. Several people in the reception room were talking quietly, and they all stood up when they saw Li Weidong coming out.

Li Weidong took a look and saw that Zheng Sijing was back, Gao Fuxing and Shen Dongkui were also here, and there were a few strangers in the corner looking at Li Weidong curiously.

"Chairman, I'm sorry. I know I was in Ningbo when you came. I have a more important meeting, so I asked Secretary Pan to come back first to make arrangements!" Zheng Sijing saw Li Weidong coming out and stood up to explain a few words.

"I came suddenly. If I had known you were in Ningbo, I wouldn't have informed you. Even if I was passing by, I would have nothing to do. I will leave early tomorrow morning!" Li Weidong waved his hand and said.

"Everyone, just sit down. Don't wake me up no matter what time you arrive!"

"It hasn't been long since I arrived, and I haven't had time yet!" Zheng Sijing told a little lie, but it wasn't long ago and it wasn't a specific time to recite, so that's right.

Li Weidong sat on the sofa, took the tea cup from Zhang Dongshuo, took a sip and put it on the coffee table.

"Chairman, let me introduce you to a few people. These are the main people in charge of Bird Company. This is Xu Huabing, the general manager of the company!"

Li Weidong stood up and shook hands with several people politely. He had long admired Bird's name, and was even more impressed by the famous advertising slogan of later generations.

Waveguide mobile phone, the fighter among mobile phones!

Li Weidong's first mobile phone was a Bird mobile phone, which has ranked first in sales for six consecutive years. If you don't buy a Bird mobile phone, it will be like not buying a Nokia later. Life will definitely be incomplete.

"I have heard of you. I heard Mr. Zheng mention you last time. I wanted to meet you at that time, but I never had the chance. Today I finally got my wish!" Li Weidong looked at Xu Huabing and said with a smile.

"Chairman, you are so polite. Mr. Zheng has mentioned your views on mobile phones many times. Your views have inspired us a lot, so we have always wanted to visit you in person, but your time is precious and we have never had the chance!"

Xu Huabing looked respectfully at the chairman, who was younger than him. He was and is now known as a young talent, and he was very proud of it.

Only then did he feel the irony of young talents. He had never imagined that Li Weidong was so young. Zheng Sijing had never mentioned Li Weidong's age. He always thought he was in his prime, at least in his prime.

The key is that this young man is holding the fate of their company in his hands at this time. Just today, under the witness of the city leaders, Bird Company and Zheng Sijing signed a formal contract to form a joint venture, Bird Communication Technology Company.

Although Jingwei Investment accounts for 40%, Bird's Chinese-funded company had already absorbed Qizhou Xinsheng Holdings as a shareholder before that, ensuring Li Weidong's voice in the company.

But on the surface, this communications company is still a joint venture with Chinese capital as the mainstay and foreign capital as the supplement. Whether it can have greater control in the future depends on how it operates.

Li Weidong attaches great importance to shares, not for how much profit or dividends, but to ensure the right to speak. Having this right to speak can guarantee the future development direction.

Direction is a strong guarantee for maximizing profits, and perhaps there is no guarantee that a national brand that can truly stand on the world will emerge in the future.

"It's just a superficial observation, don't take it seriously. I heard that you have now developed a Chinese pager. This is still a bit of a head start, but it only takes two or three years to play with it. It's okay to make some quick money!"

When Xu Huabing heard Li Weidong say that the pager was not working, he nodded subconsciously, but when he said that it would not work in two or three years, his face looked a little unbelievable.

Li Weidong didn't see the disbelief on Xu Huabing's face, and even if he saw it, he wouldn't care. Instead, he pointed to the mobile phone on the table and said, "It is the future!"

"Of course, these kinds of analog signal mobile phones are probably over. Now there are digital signal mobile phones, which will be more accurate and more convenient!"

"Chairman, although we don't yet have the technology for this kind of mobile phone, we have done some research and we are confident that we can develop it within five years!"

Xu Huabing was a smart man and did not refute Li Weidong's assertion about pagers. Instead, he changed the topic to mobile phones and made a foreshadowing first.

"Five years is not too slow to say, but the day lilies are already cold. Does Nokia know that?" Li Weidong shook his head and said, five years later is indeed the time when mobile phones will be launched in large quantities.

"I've heard of it. It seems to be a Finnish company that also makes mobile phones. I saw it in the newspaper!" Xu Huabing said honestly, not knowing what Li Weidong meant.

"They already have mature technology. You can learn from them, see how others do it, and you can also cooperate!" Li Weidong said after taking a sip of tea.

"Chairman, I'm afraid this won't work. Our advanced technology won't be easily transferred?" Xu Huabing said with a grimace.

Of course, there is also his selfishness in this. If they introduce technology, the importance of their R&D team will decrease, and their right to speak will naturally be less.

"The core technology will definitely not be transferred, but we can cooperate. Win-win cooperation is the last word. This way you can conduct research faster!"

Bird will be able to produce mobile phones in five years. With Li Weidong's blessing, there will definitely be no problem in one or two years earlier. Don't underestimate one or two years, this is the leading advantage.

Several people looked at each other and thought that although this idea is good, why should they cooperate with you? And they don't have such a relationship. They can't come to your door and say that they want to cooperate with you, right?

"You don't have to doubt the possibility of cooperation. The chairman is the major shareholder of Nokia!" Zheng Sijing is a good subordinate and knows how to cooperate with the leader to put on a good show.
