Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Bao Zixuan has always been very peaceful and rarely gets angry; it is not an exaggeration to describe him as a Confucian businessman. But not getting angry doesn't mean there is no anger, it just doesn't touch the core interests and bottom line. It seems that laughing at colleagues is definitely a high-voltage line. Whoever touches it will die, so be careful in the future. Of course, there are also people who do not believe in evil, and the final result can be imagined.

Chip companies have never stopped researching and developing chips, and Isamu Fukuyama believes that their own CPUs will never be worse than IBM. But the boss just puts it off, always saying it won’t be time yet. It is really difficult to feed so many people just by relying on the meager profits of memory chips.

Fortunately, Bao Zixuan has never transferred any funds from the chip company, otherwise the situation would be very embarrassing.

Fukuyama Isamu has never been ranked well in Heiyun Group, and his presence is very low; he rarely expresses his opinions. The main reason is that Heiyun Chip's profits are really unavailable, which makes him, the general manager, embarrassed. As a top integrated circuit expert, he knew that his boss was playing a big game.

Although it has not launched a CPU chip, it has never fallen behind in research and development. Now Heiyun's own motherboard chips are stronger than Motorola, and at most weaker than Texas Instruments and Intel. In the field of mobile phone chips, it will be even stronger.

Fukuyama Yong took a sip of water and began to say: "Currently, the chip company's main research and development direction is on memory chips. Through hard work, it is already the first in the industry; both performance and yield rate are top in the industry. In the future, research and development efforts will be increased. , maintain the technical advantages.”

"CPU chips have made a major breakthrough in the field of mobile phones. It is expected to be mass-produced within half a year, and the performance will be four times that of the latest models."

"In the field of industrial chips, we are also catching up. Currently, we can compete with German and Japanese companies in the field of automotive chips, but we have no technical advantages."

"There is still a big gap between high-end industrial chips and Texas Instruments; based on current development, chip companies are confident that they can catch up with each other within five years."

Texas Instruments is the absolute dominant player in the field of high-end industrial chips, and other manufacturers may not even have a chance to compare. Now Fukuyama actually says that he can catch up within five years. Either he is crazy or he has confidence in the chip company's R\u0026D capabilities.

Although Isamu Fukuyama has a low sense of presence, he does not offend people easily; he is polite to everyone he meets, which makes him very popular within Heiyun. Even if you can't do it, no one will laugh at it. After all, everyone is here to work.

But seeing the serious look on Isamu Fukuyama's face, it didn't look like he was talking nonsense. From this point of view, the boss must have invested heavily in the field of industrial chips.

Bao Zixuan signaled Fukuyama Isamu to continue, and the other party continued: "The most important thing for a chip company is not the design, but the processing accuracy. At present, in the field of lithography machines, the group has already reached the front. It has been able to achieve 112nm processing technology and is moving towards 56nm. The craftsmanship is pretty close.”

Most of the people present are from science and engineering backgrounds, and of course they know the weight of Fukuyama Isamu's words. The group also hides such a huge behemoth. When it truly displays its full strength, it will definitely shock the entire world.

At the same time, I understand why the boss has to hold back and even use chips from other companies. The purpose is to paralyze the opponent, but not to let others see the true strength of the Black Cloud Group.

The chip company gave the management a big surprise, and Bao Zixuan wanted this effect. Pragmatic people cannot be ignored, and Isamu Fukuyama is such a person within the Black Cloud Group. Strong execution ability, no regrets when doing things. And he never competes for fame or profit.

Bao Zixuan saw this and wanted to help him.

To say that the branch general manager of Heiyun Group who has been under the most pressure in the past year is undoubtedly Ma Chenglong of the home appliance company.

The home appliance company can be said to be the company with the least competitive advantage in Heiyun. It basically survives between Japanese and German companies. Enterprises from these two countries attach great importance to the research and development of home appliances. After all, this is an area of ​​advantage for them to occupy the global market.

In addition to the TV field, Heiyun is still somewhat competitive because of its excellent LCD screen technology. In other aspects, it can be said to be a complete failure. Basically, he will be pressed to the ground and rubbed.

Ma Hulong came to Heiyun to prove himself, not to make his old club laugh. Moreover, at last year's summary meeting, Bao Zixuan made it clear that he did not want to see the home appliance company in this situation. If it doesn't work now, it can only be replaced by someone who can.

For a year, Ma Chenglong didn't dare to take a break. Either he is focusing on research and development, or he is supervising work in Shanghai. He was shocked by the work efficiency of mainland Chinese workers.

The work attitude is even worse, and there is basically nothing wrong with it. With the commissioning of Huaxia's Shanghai factory, Heiyun Home Appliances is finally able to compete with Japanese and German companies in terms of cost. Although the performance may be weaker, in terms of price, the advantages are very obvious.

Not all families are so wealthy, and home appliances are a necessity for every family. Although Heiyun is characterized as a mid-range product, when it takes over the market, who will care if the product is high-end.

Ma Chenglong said confidently: "Heiyun Home Appliances Company is developing the next generation of liquid crystal display technology, and it has achieved certain results. However, if you want to achieve mass production, you must wait until the blue light-emitting diodes are fully mature. But it will definitely not take more than three years. , I have absolute confidence in this.”

The three future Nobel Prize winners brought back from Japan finally played their due role. At least in terms of LCD displays, Heiyun has left its competitors far behind.

Ma Chenglong continued: "The visual enjoyment of various home appliances applied to next-generation displays will surely rise to more than one level. In the next 10 years, Heiyun will definitely become the well-deserved overlord in the field of televisions."

"The technical advantages in the TV field must be maintained, and other aspects should not be relaxed. With the launch of the Shanghai factory, Heiyun Home Appliances will have sufficient funds on its books. It has already made an acquisition request for the refrigerator and air-conditioning departments of General Motors of the United States. It is expected to spend US$1.5-2 billion to acquire General Motors' refrigerator and air-conditioning divisions."

There are three companies in the United States called General Motors, General Electric, and General Dynamics.

The General Company mentioned by Ma Chenglong refers to General Electric Company. You must know that this is not an ordinary company, it is well-known in the United States and even the world.

General Electric's history can be traced back to Thomas Edison, who founded the Edison Electric Light Company in 1878. In 1892, the Edison Electric Light Company and the Thomson-Houston Electric Company merged to form General Electric Company (GE).

General Electric Company was formed in 1892 by John Pierpont Morgan through the merger of Edison General Electric Company and Thomson-Housden International Electric Company. After two world wars, the company developed rapidly.

After World War I, the company dominated the emerging electrotechnical sector - radio. The Second World War caused General Electric's output and profits to increase dramatically.

In the more than 80 years since its founding, General Electric has annexed many domestic and foreign companies in various ways and seized shares of many companies. In 1939, there were only about 30 domestic factories under its jurisdiction, and by 1947, the number increased to 125. By the end of 1976, there were a total of 224 manufacturing plants in 35 states in the country.

Abroad, it gradually merged with electrical companies in Italy, France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Spain and other countries. In 1972, the company's foreign subsidiaries included: 33 in Europe, 10 in Canada, 24 in Latin America, 11 in Asia, 3 in Australia, and 1 in Africa. By the end of 1976, it had a total of 113 manufacturing plants in 24 countries, becoming a huge multinational company.

General Electric Company is a large industrial company controlled by the Morgan consortium. It has been operating for decades and has made huge profits. It has strong assets and a large scale. In 1976 and 1977, it ranked ninth among large companies in the United States. According to statistics from the American "Happiness" magazine on May 8, 1978, the total assets of General Electric Company in 1977 reached US$13.696 billion, and the total sales reached US$17.515 billion. The net profit this year was US$1.088 billion. It ranks fifth among large companies, with a total number of employees of 384,000. The company began building new plants in 1956 to produce missiles and provide nuclear weapons to foreign countries. For example, Japan engages in atomic energy, atomic fuel, and naval torpedoes. In 1976, it cooperated with France to develop turbine aircraft and engines that can be equipped with torpedo submarines or launch vehicles. In 1973, it received US military orders totaling US$1.42 billion, ranking second among major companies.

Now Ma Chenglong actually starts with General Electric, but it is easy to understand. After all, refrigerators and air conditioners are unpopular in the entire General Electric.

Ma Chenglong reported to Bao Zixuan, although he did not want to deal with the Morgan family. But this is really an opportunity after all; I just said that I thought it could be done if necessary, which was a reassurance for my subordinates.
