Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

As Bao Zixuan's first product, games have accounted for less and less of the group's sales, but Yokoi Junpei and Miyamoto Mamo are two veterans of the group. They have made outstanding contributions to the development of Heiyun, so no one dares to underestimate them. Although the proportion is decreasing, its own sales have not decreased much. It can only be said that Heiyun is developing too fast.

Yokoi Junpei: "As of December 31, 1981, Black Cloud Games had 32,400 employees and sales of US$10.8 billion. The profit was US$2.9 billion, mainly because most of our games have been recognized by the market. And the hardware is always being upgraded.”

Everyone was extremely surprised when they heard this figure. It is still the animation and game industries that make money. Working in the automobile industry may sound high-end, but it may not be easy when it comes to actually making money. No wonder the Japanese in the previous life could buy, buy, buy all over the world, but now the toy companies have not even reported their profits. It seems that the profits of this business are really considerable, and I feel that I cannot give up easily.

Yokoi Junpei: "As for the rest, Miyamoto-kun needs to report to everyone. After all, he is responsible for the entire game."

Yokoi Junpei is not a particularly pushy person, and Miyamoto's status in the group is definitely not lower than him. At the same time, one of us is responsible for the hardware, and the other is responsible for the software. There is also a tacit understanding of cooperation, and we must always leave some opportunities for others.

Miyamoto Mamoru: "Your Excellency Yokoi has just reported on the sales performance and profits, so I won't say anything more. The development of Black Cloud Games has now entered a bottleneck period, but we are already increasing investment in the research and development of new games. Please also President and colleagues, please rest assured that many new game plans have begun to be implemented and will be available to everyone in the middle of this year."

Miyamoto Mamoru is actually very anxious, watching the sales of other branches increasing every day. But game companies are still like this, and this is despite the fact that they continue to launch many new games every year. That proves that the number of people who can play a single game is decreasing, which is the biggest blow to game practitioners.

Bao Zixuan: "It's good to be aware of the crisis. We can appropriately increase investment in research and development of computer games. As home computers become more and more popular, this will be a large consumer group."

And Yokoi-kun, have you ever thought about entering the computer field? If you are interested, you can serve as the general manager of a computer company. Now I have always been unable to do the part-time job, and it is not conducive to the long-term development of the company.

Hiroshi Hashimoto served as the general manager of Black Cloud Computer Company from its inception, but it was still very small at that time. After Hashimoto Hao was transferred to Europe as the person in charge, Bao Zixuan has always been in charge. Now after seeing the situation of Yokoi Junhei and Miyamoto Mao, he also knows that they have to be separated, otherwise problems will arise sooner or later. After all, everyone who came with them back then had been promoted, and Miyamoto's position had always been the deputy general manager of the game company, which was never an issue.

Seeing that Yokoi Junpei was still hesitating, Bao Zixuan continued: Currently, Heiyun Computer Company consists of four parts, namely the laptop computer department, the large industrial computer department, the Heiyun Software Department, and the large-scale industrial simulation software.

Sales in 1981 were US$29 billion and profits were US$4.5 billion, definitely ranking among the company's top three branches. Moreover, the future development prospects are broad and it can be said that this is an industry that can last for 100 years.

Everyone was dazzled when they heard this figure. No one thought that the computer company would be so good and its profits would be so high.

Yokoi Junpei: "My knowledge of computers is not enough to be qualified for the position of general manager, so I hesitated."

Bao Zixuan: "Yokoi-kun, are you old?"

Yokoi Junpei said without hesitation: "I am only in my 40s and of course I am not old. I can still continue to work."

Bao Zi I am also very confident in your learning ability.”

In fact, this is also the result of Bao Zixuan's comprehensive consideration. He originally wanted to wait until some time before announcing it. Now we see that Yokoi Junpei and Miyamoto Mamoru have begun to have a tacit understanding of Buddhism, which is not conducive to the development of the enterprise.

Most computer companies are European and American, allowing Yokoi to play a supervisory role in the past. The most important thing is that no one can match his understanding of hardware knowledge. As long as he is willing to study hard, there will be no problems.

Also, the general direction must be determined by Bao Zixuan himself, while Yokoi Junpei played more of an executor role in the past.

Yokoi Junpei: "Then just follow the president's arrangements."

Bao Zixuan: "Very good. From now on, Junpei Yokoi will be appointed as the vice president of Black Cloud Group and the general manager of the computer company, responsible for all aspects of work. Miyamoto has been promoted to the general manager of Black Cloud Game Company, responsible for all game-related matters."

After hearing the boss's arrangement, everyone guessed what was going on. However, in any case, everyone is happy with the situation, and it can also balance the interests of the game company.

And to a certain extent, both Yokoi Junpei and Miyamoto Mamoru have been improved. One is responsible for a company with a larger scale and broader prospects; the other is directly supporting the company, which is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

At this time, Ma Chenglong from the home appliance company began to report to work. He was the most embarrassing existence among all senior executives. Among all branches, the home appliance company is lagging behind. The profit is the lowest every time, and the market share is also the lowest. Compared with Japanese and German brands, Heiyun has always lagged behind in the field of home appliances.

Ma Chenglong: "Heiyun Home Appliance Company currently has 22,900 employees. Last year's sales were US$900 million and profits were US$12 million. The main revenue comes from home theaters and LCD TVs. Products such as Walkmans and shavers have completely fallen behind. For brands such as Sony and Philips. For this, I have an irresistible responsibility and request the group to impose penalties."

Bao Zixuan couldn't stand hearing this. Although Heiyun Group seemed to be prospering. At the same time, there are many crises and hidden dangers. Although he has not paid much attention to the affairs of the home appliance company. However, in the past few years, the home appliance company has not allocated any profit. It can be said that all the money they earned has been used for research and development. It is extremely disappointing to hand over such an answer sheet.

Bao Zixuan: "This result really dissatisfies me, and I even can't believe it. We have the most extensive promotion channels in the world. It can be said that agents, Best Buy, and Heiyun Automobile can all bring sales to home appliances. Now it’s like this. No matter what the reason is, your bonus will be canceled this time. If it’s still like this this year, you won’t have to sit here next year.”

This is the first time everyone has heard the boss speak like this. It seems that after graduating from college, he no longer manages the company with a student mentality. You have to be careful at work in the future, otherwise you will be the next unlucky one.

Ma Chenglong didn't say anything at this time, and anything he said at this time was feeble. However, he also secretly made up his mind to make a great turnaround next year.

Knowing that Ma Chenglong was a little uncomfortable, he poached it from his competitors. Bao Zixuan continued: "Home appliance companies can go to Kyoto in mainland China to investigate and see the feasibility of building a factory there. Both labor and land costs are very low, and there are relatively many educated people in Kyoto, so they can quickly One of the places to train skilled workers.”

Hearing the boss talk about the Kyoto area in China made Ma Chenglong's eyes light up. It seems that he hasn't given up on him completely yet. Otherwise, I will never give you any advice and will just tell you to pack up and leave.

At the same time, it also proves that the boss is very optimistic about China's development, otherwise it would be impossible to build so many factories in China. At present, automobiles and large equipment factories are still under construction; and when he thinks of establishing a home appliance production base, he is not worried at all that if the policy changes one day, the investment will be in vain. But no one dares to ask. This is the benefit of dictatorship. As long as it is something decided by the boss, no one dares to object.
