Rebirth Starts From 2006

"not bad,"

Chen Yang picked up the wine glass and took a big sip, put it down and said with a smile, "Although there is no intention to immediately promote the 'Industry 4.0' plan, at the beginning, these two plans were proposed for our internal industrial adjustment and development. ,

Now that the higher authorities have used it as a reference and designated Rainbow Group as a pilot enterprise, it sounds like pie in the sky.

What we have to do is to accept a group of observers into the company to inspect, and at the same time share successful experiences with the above,

This business can be done with a huge profit. "

Strictly speaking, it is not just a profit but a profit without any capital.

According to Chen Yang's original idea, both plans will be promoted and implemented by Rainbow Group among internal enterprises. In this way, all costs will naturally be borne by the relevant enterprises themselves. At most, Rainbow Group will provide certain resources in the overall situation. deployment,

Now that the above-mentioned Rainbow Group has been designated as a pilot enterprise of the "Industry 4.0" plan, it will naturally provide policy, technology, and even financial support.

In addition, when he cut the ribbon for the opening of Hengli Cultural Tourism City, Leader Wang told him about supporting private enterprises.

When the resources are accumulated, the resource and policy preference for the enterprises under Rainbow Group may be higher than that of some key state-owned enterprises.

However, Rainbow Group does not need to pay any price, so it is nothing but profit.

Huang Shan filled a bowl of seafood porridge, took a nice sip, and then said with a smile,

"That's what you think. Let's not talk about the operating data of small companies, let's talk about the big aspects.

Industrial upgrading, cross-industry coordination and progress, economic big data processing and analysis, industrial equipment upgrading and transformation, exploration of new management models, integration and development of new technologies...

With so much content integrated together, whether it is a 'three-dimensional integrated industry network' or 'Industry 4.0', they are all new business models.

These things can be considered top secrets for any company.

If you weren't determined to socialize the physical sector, just submitting these materials would be a waste! "

Chen Yang chuckled, looked at her and said, "It's not that I am determined to promote the group's enterprises to the society. Besides, the social enterprises I call are not suitable for all companies.

The reason for this decision is not that the company's scale has reached a certain level, but also the scope of interests involved and the strategic level are too important. If this is not done, I am afraid that for these companies, they will prosper and then decline. is the only ending. "

Huang Shan held the porridge bowl and savored the seafood porridge in her mouth. She seemed to be savoring Boss Chen's words.

After a while, she put down the bowl, suddenly turned her head to look at Zou Rong, and said with a smile, "Rong Rong, does anyone propose to hold the group's annual meeting this year?"

Upon hearing this, before Zou Rong could speak, Chen Yang frowned and said,

"No, don't you. Didn't you say that now the group company can have two to three hundred thousand employees if we put it all together? If you hold the group's annual meeting, you can still bring together two to three hundred thousand people." ?”

Huang Shan immediately turned around, glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Which large group company would gather all its employees for its annual meeting?

Even if there is an annual meeting, at most the middle and senior management of the core companies and the heads of relevant platform companies will be gathered together, and then coupled with the outstanding employees within the group, the total cost will be just over 10,000 yuan.

The annual meeting we held last year also had more than 10,000 people. "

Chen Yang curled his lips, sighed and said, "I just think it's too troublesome, and today is already New Year's Day, and there will be a holiday in twenty days, and each company has its own affairs.

Now the annual meeting is suddenly organized, let alone whether it will be late, it will be delayed.

"I think you just find it troublesome,"

Huang Shan wrinkled her nose and hit the nail on the head with Boss Chen's little thoughts. She simply didn't bother to pay attention to him and turned to look at Zou Rong, "Didn't Mr. Cai mention it?"

Zou Rong pursed her lips, glanced at her husband, and then said with a smile, "You used to organize the company's annual meetings yourself. This year, you are in retreat, but no one asked me."

"That's it,"

Huang Shan lowered her head and thought for a moment, then took out her cell phone and dialed Cai Yaping.

"Mr. Cai, please make arrangements and find a larger venue. We will organize an annual meeting for the entire group.

The participants are all the middle and senior management and outstanding employees of the group's core enterprises, as well as the heads of relevant enterprises invested by Chuangfu and Honggu Capital.

You make a plan first and show it to me later. "

Cai Yaping was used to being suddenly hit by a task. She thought about it calmly and then said, "As for the larger venue, besides Tianhe Sports Center, it is the Olympic Sports Center. The Olympic Sports Center can accommodate up to 80,000 people. , if we choose to go there, it’s okay to open only one stage, and one stage is more suitable for interactive communication.”

Huang Shan pondered for two seconds and nodded slightly, "Okay, let's book the Olympic Sports Center. You can arrange the specific meeting and finalize it as soon as possible."

After a pause, he added, "Let's set the date for January 16th. It will be held before the Lunar New Year so as not to delay colleagues from the north going home for the New Year.

Is half a month enough to prepare? "

Cai Yaping nodded immediately, "No problem, I'll make arrangements now."

Huang Shan hung up the phone, looked at the depressed Boss Chen, and said helplessly,

"I don't have to bother. You are the chairman of the company and the big boss. Think about it for yourself. Is it necessary to hold this annual meeting this year?"

Chen Yang wiped his mouth, sighed and said, "It really can't be done."

Zou Rong looked at him, then at Huang Shan, and silently asked, why?

"Yes,"

Huang Shan looked at Boss Chen, blinked and said, "Look, first of all, the expansion speed of the group company has seriously exceeded this year. Whether it is the number of companies, the size of employees, or the span of industries, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, it can be said that there are two company,

And it’s not just Rainbow Platform. Which of its core companies is not making rapid progress?

Damai, needless to say, Hengli, who became fat in one breath, and Dajiang, who started from scratch and became the number one in the global industry. In the future era, by the way,"

Speaking of this, Huang Shan couldn't help but sigh, "One billion dollars of funds have been poured into it, and you haven't met Mr. Zeng yet, have you?!"

Mr. Zeng from Future Era is not the only one I have never met. Regardless of whether it is Future Generation Platform or Honggu Capital, almost all the people in charge have never met Mr. Chen in person.

Although in terms of official business, Rainbow Group is well-known, but Chinese people always like to talk about emotions. The big boss doesn't even show his face. Does it mean he doesn't value us?

Even if you don’t meet alone, it’s okay to find an opportunity to have a group activity.

At this time, there is no more suitable opportunity than the annual meeting.

"This is not the key,"

As a result, Chen Yang shook his head disapprovingly and said softly, "What is the main thing? This year is a very critical year for both the group company and its project companies.

Some companies are making rapid progress and their business volume has increased exponentially, while some projects are also suffering, waiting for the economic winter to pass.

But no matter which one it is, they have all seen the rise of Rainbow Group against the trend this year. They know that Mr. Yu is killing everyone in the international financial market, and even almost successfully attacked Santander Bank, and finally established the American Rainbow Financial Group, sitting on the top trillions of dollars,

Domestically, Chuangfuture and Honggu Capital are also spreading money everywhere. As long as it is a fancy project, they will invest generously for them.

In this case, do you think some people will become inert and wait for the group to provide them with blood transfusions and resources? "

Hearing this, Huang Shan, who was picking up vegetables, stopped immediately, took the kuaizi back first, and then frowned and said, "I haven't thought about the problem you mentioned. I'm just thinking about it. Next year we will Two plans have been officially advanced, and some core companies have started financing and are preparing to go public.

In this case, as the chairman of the group, it is necessary for you to say a few words to everyone. "

"yes,"

Chen Yang put down Kuai Zi, wiped his hands with a towel, then supported the table corners with both hands, looked at Huang Shan and said seriously,

"The implementation of the 'Three-dimensional Comprehensive Industrial Network' must be promoted. On the one hand, all enterprises must first decouple and find their own positioning to develop independently. On the other hand, resources must be appropriately mobilized based on the operating conditions of all enterprises within the group. In line with the overall plan,

At that time, should we sit back and wait for pie to fall from the sky, or should we take the initiative and strive to be in a competitive position in the entire industry network?

These two mentalities can completely influence the construction progress and results of the entire industrial network.

There is also 'Industry 4.0'. You just said that one of the conditions for promoting 'Industry 4.0' is to have a more proactive business model.

Again, those who were proactive in the past may not be proactive in the future; those who were advanced in the past may not be able to continue to be advanced in the future.

If the 'three-dimensional comprehensive industrial network' is only used as a reference for the formulation of industrial migration and cross-industry integration policies, then the 'Industry 4.0' plan will be directly related to the overall design of our country's industrial system in the next twenty years.

If there is any oversight in this regard,"

Chen Yang pointed at Huang Shan and then at himself, and said in a deep voice, "You and I are both to blame!"

Huang Shan nodded solemnly, took a deep breath, and thought about something silently.

After a moment, she suddenly raised her head and said, "Since you know this, why are you still reluctant to hold the annual party?"

Upon hearing this, Boss Chen immediately raised his face and said, "Let's talk about the two things."

After a pause, he continued with a smile, "What I originally thought was that after you get out of isolation, I would have a good discussion with you and explain these issues clearly..."

Before she could finish her words, Huang Shan choked her back.

"Then let me hold a meeting with the heads of relevant companies to remind them to adjust their mentality, right?!"

After being pointed out, Boss Chen didn't look embarrassed at all, "Anyway, you have to hold meetings with them often. It's just a matter of convenience."

Huang Shan suddenly became angry, rolled her eyes angrily, and then said, "Looking at you, you don't need me to write this year's speech?"

"fine,"

Chen Yang picked up Kuaizi again, picked a piece of radish and put it into the bowl. He chuckled and said, "Anyway, I am used to speaking without a script. I can express myself freely later."

It's the company's annual meeting. They're all his subordinates anyway, so why don't you just let Boss Chen brag?

As long as the benefits are in place, it's okay to brag to the sky, and everyone will still applaud enthusiastically to show their support.

"Okay, so be it,"

Huang Shan was naturally happy and relaxed, and picked up the food again, and said at the same time, "Anyway, you know better than me what should be said and what shouldn't be said.

But, it’s one thing to remind everyone to pay attention to their mentality, but don’t correct it too much and dampen everyone’s enthusiasm. That would also..."

Before he finished speaking, the phone that had just been placed on the table suddenly rang.

Huang Shan picked up the phone and looked at it. After connecting it, she put it to her ear and said, "Mr. Cai, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Huang, I have an idea,"

Cai Yaping glanced at several colleagues around her and said with a grin, "It's about the annual meeting. Can we change the format of the annual meeting and make it more humane?"

"Change? Be more humane?"

Huang Shan frowned slightly, glanced at Boss Chen opposite, and then said, "Don't be so secretive, just say what you think."

"Hey, then, I'll just tell you the truth,"

Cai Yaping coughed dryly and said with a smile, "That's right, I looked at the annual meeting information of some domestic companies, and I feel that some companies' annual meetings are quite good, with rich programs and performances.

You see, there are several cultural and entertainment companies within our group, then, can you..."

Upon hearing this, Huang Shan almost laughed angrily,

"Oh, you want to call all the artists in the company to perform for you, right?"

"Hehehe, together, together,"

Encouraged by her colleagues around her, Cai Yaping bravely smiled and said, "We are also looking for other companies to put on a few shows. The best thing would be to invite you or Director Chen to perform on stage.

There is also an element of family culture in our corporate culture of creating the future. We finally held an annual meeting, and all the senior executives who rarely met each other gathered together. We were all happy singing and dancing. "

"snort,"

Now Huang Shan laughed angrily, "Who gave you the idea? Not counting the company's artists coming over to perform, you also want me and Director Chen to perform on stage. You guys are really thoughtful!"

Having said that, at the two annual meetings held by the company, there really were no performances.

For the first time, in early 2007, there were only two or three big cats and kittens in the company. At that time, Huang Shan and Qin Yu had not yet graduated. The so-called annual meeting was to rent a hot spring villa and go have fun. Just two days,

It was at that annual meeting that Chen Yang received a call from Qin Yu, and then the two of them traveled east to Japan together and grabbed the first pot of gold in the financial market.

The second time was the annual meeting in 2008. Although Damai had not been founded for long at that time, it was still very popular. From Damai Research Institute to Damai factories, there were more than 10,000 employees in total. It was difficult to hold a lively annual meeting. That's it,

It's a pity that there was a snowstorm at that time. If it was too lively, it would not be in line with the social atmosphere, so we just made do with it and talked about some work casually.

Now is the third annual meeting, and Boss Chen plans to sound the alarm to everyone at the meeting.

Put on a show?

Doesn’t that ruin the atmosphere? "not bad,"

Chen Yang picked up the wine glass and took a big sip, put it down and said with a smile, "Although there is no intention to immediately promote the 'Industry 4.0' plan, at the beginning, these two plans were proposed for our internal industrial adjustment and development. ,
