Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Although Venus TV Company is nominally a subsidiary of Venus Electric Co., Ltd. in Xiangjiang, it is managed separately.

What I'm afraid of is that the two places are different in terms of economy, culture and other aspects. If they intervene rashly, it will affect the company's management and operations, thereby affecting the company's development, revenue and profits.

Errol Kilman is also in charge of this company.

"Manager Mark Raymond has completed the integration of the company and the company is now on track."

"After the company separated from General Electric, its original sales channels can no longer be borrowed, and it needs to renegotiate with channel dealers, agents, etc. This work is currently in progress, and Manager Raymond expressed confidence that it can be handled well."

"For the upgrading of the company's TV products, the company has increased investment in the R\u0026D department and recruited excellent R\u0026D talents from the outside. These are all in progress, but the results are not so fast."

"Based on your suggestion, the company's management will sell TV sets to Southeast Asia. The company's products have more technical advantages there, but the channels have to be opened up from scratch. Therefore, in addition to the greater progress in Xiangjiang, , sales channels in other regions are still being developed.”

Lin Baicheng listened and watched. What he mainly looked at was the company's monthly performance. Fortunately, although it was incomparable to what it was under General Electric before being acquired, the performance had declined, but not too much. within the estimated range.

As long as the performance decline is not too outrageous, it is acceptable.

It is impossible to think that there will be no decrease at all, or even an increase. After all, the company has changed its boss, the channels are not as easy to use as before, and it will take time for employees to change their identities, all of which will affect the company's performance.

Errol Kilman was followed by Anne Haley.

This new assistant is responsible for connecting with Zhonghe Game Company, Microsoft Corporation and Shiwei Software Company.

Among these three companies, Zhonghe Game Company Lin Baicheng holds a lot of shares, but the control of the company is in the hands of Phil Smith. The current value of the other two companies is not high, adding up to just over 10 million US dollars.

It can be said that the combined importance of these three companies is not as high as that of Starlight Company. But this is normal. Anne Haley is a newcomer after all, and she cannot be responsible for too important work all at once.

Lin Baicheng gave up control of Zhonghe Game Company. Therefore, the assistants mainly supervise the company's finances and the general direction of the company's development, so they can report only a limited amount.

As for Microsoft and Shiwei Software, these two companies are not large in scale and have not changed much in their development. Naturally, they have nothing to report.

Then there is Thane Volt, also a newcomer, who is responsible for connecting with Marvel Comics. Although there is only one company, in terms of importance, it is far greater than the three companies followed by Anne Haley.

"The main work of Marvel Comics today is to build its own channels, and the number of self-operated physical stores is constantly increasing. However, the company has not given up its original channels because of its self-built channels, but only as a supplement to the channels."

"In the management's plan, when the company's self-built channels can meet the company's sales, it will be cut off from the previous channels to a certain extent, and the channels will be gradually controlled by the company to increase the company's revenue and profits. "

"As for the film and television animation adapted from comics formulated by the company's management, for the time being, it will mainly focus on TV series and cartoons, and movies will be placed later. We will first see how effective the adaptation into TV series and cartoons is, whether it can bring revenue, and whether it can improve Comic sales.”

"This work is currently in progress, and the company's management is trying to find ways to contact the TV stations to see if any TV stations are interested and willing to cooperate."

"Also, as per your request, all relevant copyrights of the company's comic characters are in our hands and will no longer be sold or licensed to outside parties."

Lin Baicheng looked at the document and said after a moment: "Marvel's current debt is 40 million U.S. dollars. I agree with adapting comics into movies, etc., but we must act within our capabilities. You must always remind the management of the company's debt situation. You cannot put all All the money is invested.”

"The company has to repay part of its debt every year and reduce its debt pressure year by year. This is a plan that was made early on and cannot be affected."

For companies that are currently operating, unless the company has a large investment, Lin Baicheng will not easily inject capital into all companies. This will make the management unwilling to make progress and think that if they have no money, they will ask him, the big boss, instead of thinking about it. How to make the company develop better.

"I see."

Thane Volter immediately responded: "Don't worry, I will remind President Stanley of them."

"Okay, you can continue with the report."

Lin Baicheng nodded. There is nothing much to say about Marvel Comics at the moment. The company's success will have to wait until after the 21st century.

Only with the development of special effects technology can the abilities of superheroes or villains be displayed more coolly, dazzling the public, and making the Marvel Universe popular.

Before the 21st century, Lin Baicheng's requirements for Marvel Comics were not high. They did not suffer losses and the influence of comic characters expanded. That was fine.

The next person to report was Jill Kwess, the deputy director, who followed up with the Golden Fleece and Liberty Broadcasting Company.

Statue of Liberty Broadcasting Company (SLBC) was just established in April. The company's total investment reached US$100 million. Lin Baicheng invested US$65 million for 60% of the shares. The remaining 5% of the shares were used as an option pool to provide incentives to management and outstanding talents.

Although Lin Baicheng is the major shareholder of SLBC, the company has several investors, all of whom are powerful. The company's development needs to borrow their energy, so the company is not entirely decided by Lin Baicheng alone.

Calculated in terms of director seats, Lin Baicheng only occupies 4 of the 11 seats. He will give up the leadership of this company later, so the importance of the company will of course be greatly reduced, and it is incomparable with other companies controlled by Lin Baicheng.

The broadcast company is currently mainly managed by Barry Diller. As long as he makes no mistakes in the general direction of development, Lin Baicheng has promised that he will not interfere easily, so the assistants in charge can do more limited things.

In Gil Kvis's report, Lin Baicheng learned that the TV station that the broadcasting company wanted to acquire had not yet been successful and was still in the negotiation stage. The company was also recruiting people, but until the TV station was completed, the company would not be able to develop.

After all, the company was only established in April, and it had only been about two months. As long as there were no financial problems with the company, Lin Baicheng would not say anything and would give Barry Diller time.

Gil Kvis then talked about the Golden Fleece Company. This company's assets exceed one billion US dollars, and it is considered to be the largest among Lin Baicheng's companies in the United States.

However, Golden Fleece Company is engaged in investment and is relatively professional. The company is managed by a few investment managers. The assistant's main job is supervision. Looking at the financial statements, many times they are speechless, let alone have any suggestions. .

Therefore, the assistants who deal with this company actually do not have many rights, which are incomparable to those with other large companies. This is the main reason why Gil Kvis is responsible for dealing with this company.

The last person to report was Bill Harveys, the director of the Secretariat.

Bill Harveys is responsible for connecting two companies, Sun Electronic Communications and Galaxy Semiconductor. The cash invested by these two companies has reached nearly 800 million U.S. dollars. With the attention of the big boss Lin Baicheng, it can be said that these two companies are The most important company among American companies.

Although Bill Harveys was reprimanded by the big boss Lin Baicheng and the secretariat had two more deputy directors, he was still assigned the best job and was responsible for connecting with the most important companies.

Whether it is Sun Electronics Communications or Galaxy Semiconductor, the recruitment of technical talents has never stopped, and the assistants who assist in docking have a lot to do.

Don't be afraid if there are many things to do. Only when there are many things to do can the importance of the assistant be shown, and the assistant's power will be greater.

For companies that don't require assistants to do anything but only need assistants to read financial reports, it doesn't matter how big the company is. There is no room for assistants to perform, so if there are options, assistants will not choose to work with such companies.

On the Sun Electronic Communications Company side, the company's factories and headquarters are still under construction. The leased space is currently being used first. The largest acquisition has also come to an end. Only Lin Baicheng, the big boss, can meet with Diluo Jason. The deal is done.

Only after acquiring Bell Labs' mobile phone technology and patents can the communications company officially take off.

Galaxy Semiconductor has entered the development stage, but the research and development and upgrading of various chip technologies are not that easy. It is normal to have results within a few years, but if you are lucky, you may have several results in a year.

Except for the memory chip technology, the chips produced by Galaxy Semiconductor are not very good. Looking at the world, they can only be regarded as average, so the technology needs to be improved.

Fortunately, although the technology cannot be improved, the company's products can be sold through internal digestion, allowing the company to make money.

Whether it is the Xingyue console, the arcade machine of Galaxy Games, or various electronic chips from electrical appliance companies, the chips required for these electronic products do not need to be world-class. The chips produced by Galaxy Semiconductor are sufficient for product performance.

Therefore, various companies under Lin Baicheng's name have purchased a large number of chips from Galaxy Semiconductor and Galaxy Semiconductor in Xiangjiang. The two companies are not afraid of running out of orders.

For chips, only through continuous production and continuous adjustments during the production process can we develop more advanced chip technology.

If there are no sales channels, just to continue production to upgrade chip technology, the loss of funds will be huge, and hundreds of millions of dollars are not a lot of money. This is still the 1980s. If we wait another ten or twenty years, the amount of money wasted will be at least ten figures.

After Bill Harveys reported on these two companies, he continued to report.

However, this time the report is about the general situation of Lin Baicheng's investment companies, such as Apple, Blue Software, etc.

Bill Gates and his Blue Software Company have developed rapidly because of their relationship with the blue giant IBM. The computer operating system they developed is installed on the computers of the blue giant.

Although IBM's personal computers have just appeared on the market, they still have a lot of sales thanks to the IBM brand.

IBM also looks down on Apple and is proud of it, so it sets the price of personal computers relatively high, higher than the price of Apple's personal computers, so that it will not defeat Apple in one fell swoop.

Even so, the sales of Apple PCs have still been affected to a certain extent, but the market is constantly expanding, so from a data perspective alone, the impact of IBM PCs on Apple PCs is not very large.

It is precisely because of this that Apple's listing journey can proceed smoothly without being stopped.

Blue Software's computer operating system appeared on the market with IBM's personal computers, and its share will definitely increase as time goes by. This is inevitable.

Microsoft, which has been acquired by Lin Baicheng, although it also has patents and technology for computer operating systems, there are few buyers for the finished products. It can only sell them to customers who have computers before, while waiting for investment from Pioneer Technology Ventures. The computer companies we invested in began to set up computer sales, and the company's products would be installed on these personal computers.

The reason why Blue Software Company is attracting attention is because Lin Baicheng holds 22% of the shares, which is considered a large shareholder.

Pioneer Technology Ventures is not among the companies reported by Bill Harveys.

Because this company is currently managed by Lin Baicheng, Haruko Maori, and the secretariat does not know the existence of this company. Lin Baicheng wants to be hidden, so naturally he will not tell his assistants to pay attention to this company, or help with anything.

Pioneer Technology's current scale is not large. Haruko Maori only needs to do a good job in financial supervision. Larger investments must be designated by Lin Baicheng. Currently, the company's managers do not have much investment funds at their disposal, so there is no need to ask Lin Baicheng for instructions on any investment. , Maori Haruko only needs to talk to Lin Baicheng about the company's situation after a while.

If nothing big happens, then you don’t need to pay too much attention to Pioneer Technology.

"Boom!"

While Lin Baicheng was looking at the documents, there was a knock on the door.

Mouri Haruko opened the door and came in: "Makoto-kun, it's already half past eleven. Let's go down and have lunch first."

"Haruko, tell the kitchen to prepare more in the afternoon."

Lin Baicheng said and looked at the assistants: "You can stay and have dinner together at noon. However, you may not be used to the Chinese food I eat. You can tell the kitchen what you want to eat."

"Chairman, I have no problem. Just eat Chinese food."

Bill Harveys immediately said that it was true that he did not eat Chinese food in the past, but his boss was Chinese, so of course he had to make some changes. Although he is not very used to eating Chinese food yet, it is still okay to eat some and it will not cause indigestion or anything.

"Chairman, I have no problem with that!" "I can also eat Chinese food.".

Several other assistants immediately expressed their opinions, even the two new assistants were no exception.

At this time, you must move closer to your boss. No one will be stupid and be an outlier.

"Do not force."

Lin Baicheng said something when he saw this.

The assistants all said that they were not forced and that they could have Chinese food.

When Lin Baicheng saw this, he said no more and asked Maori Haruko and his assistants to go down first. He would go down after reading the documents.
