Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

After staying in Xiangjiang for more than a month, Bao Zixuan had to go to the United States. As for the affairs of Xiangjiang, he was not concerned about it. The focus was on one aspect. The most important thing was that the development was relatively stable and the staffing was more reasonable. Moreover, he also

He doesn’t want to get involved in competition and disputes, and the purpose is to show both parties that he will not leave. However, he will not increase the scale of investment in the short term.

Even if the scale of investment is not increased, given the current size of Heiyun Group, Heiyun Town will soon be put into use, combined with the ever-expanding scale of Hutchison Whampoa. Bao Zixuan will definitely be the first investor in Hong Kong for at least the next few decades.

As for the reasons for the United States in the past, there were good reasons; as his wife, Zhang Youran expressed support and could not find any fault. Microsoft is about to go public, and as a major shareholder, she must support it. In fact, the original plan should have been long ago

It went public; however, Bill Gates was not very satisfied with the price offered by the underwriters. In addition, Microsoft's performance in this generation did not achieve the desired results, so it was forced to push it to now.

In the previous life, there was only one company, Apple, competing with them. Now the majority of the market is occupied by Black Cloud Group, and many of Microsoft's technologies require Black Cloud authorization. When people on Wall Street value companies, a large part of the reason is not based on current sales.

Well. After all, those things don’t mean much to technology companies.

What’s more important is to look at the company’s development prospects and how many technology patents it has mastered. Having technology in hand means having everything. Although Microsoft currently has a large market share, it does not have many core technologies of its own. Even Apple cannot catch up.

Underwriters are also worried that the market will not particularly recognize it.

But considering that both Heiyun and Apple have closed-loop management, which means that other computer manufacturers will use Microsoft's operating system in the future. If Heiyun Group does not come out to disrupt the situation, Microsoft is still a very promising company.

Bao Zixuan's arrival is relatively low-key. After all, he doesn't need to promote himself through other channels now. He has too much aura. Moreover, this time it is mainly to support Microsoft, not to steal the limelight.

A special plane flies directly to New York, and Microsoft is headquartered in Seattle; but to ring the listing bell, you need to go to Nasdaq.

John Chambers showed up at the airport without being greeted by Microsoft personnel. There was no need for an executive of his level to greet him in person, but this time the situation was special. Several core Microsoft employees were waiting for him at the hotel, but now for

The specific situation of Microsoft is not clear to the richest man Bao; as the head of the US branch of Heiyun Group, he has to make a report in the car.

After the two got on the bus, Bao Zixuan first said: "I'm very sorry last time, the matter was urgent; and the exchange was still using technology, so I urgently communicate with you in advance if I am not here."

John Chambers was flattered to hear his boss apologize when he came up. After all, the entire company belongs to him, and he can do whatever he wants. There is no need to apologize; in addition, the acquisition of Ferrari will also be a problem for Heiyun Motors' models.

A perfect complement. You must know that even Ford II couldn't do it back then, and now the boss can easily convince Enzo Ferrari, which is an amazing achievement in itself.

John Chambers: "Boss, please don't say that. The acquisition of Ferrari is a perfect complement to Heiyun Motors; at least we have surpassed other American car companies in the field of high-end sports cars."

"You don't know that after the news came back to the United States, Henry Ford II broke a delicate crystal cup in his office. Of course, I only heard about it and didn't see it with my own eyes."

I know it is beneficial to the development of the company, but since the company is managed by others, you cannot do whatever you want. Doing so is not conducive to establishing the authority of professional managers. The employees of the company will think that this guy is just a decoration, and the boss does not trust him at all.

he.

It may be okay for you now, but when your successor is not capable enough, the final result can be imagined. Therefore, the professional manager system must be implemented resolutely. No dynasty can last forever, after all, no one can guarantee that his descendants will always be smart.

But if you hire talented people from all over the world, the possibility of sustainable and healthy development of the company will increase.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "The old boy is too serious. I feel that they made cars a few years earlier than others; they are the most authentic car dealers. This is not good. If we follow his logic, then we, the people, have to do it before going to work every day.

, isn’t it better to pay homage to Karl Benz.”

Hearing his boss's humorous comment, John Chambers actually laughed. The longer he interacted with Bao Zixuan, the more he felt that this person was still easy to get along with. He was not as big as some super rich people, as long as he was

He does a good job and is very approachable.

John Chambers: "The U.S. division is currently developing well, with military vehicle sales continuing to grow. Not only the U.S. military and some countries in the Middle East; even European countries have begun to order military vehicles from us."

"But the U.S. military requires that the military vehicles we export to other countries can only be low-end versions, so the price cannot be too high."

The Americans are still as unreasonable as ever, even with a military vehicle. This is the current situation, and Heiyun Group does not dare to break it easily. But there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Some special parts can be purchased

The country then sends engineers to assemble it.

In this way, even if the Americans knew about it, it would be hard to say anything. After all, a military vehicle is mainly to facilitate transportation and improve the survival probability of soldiers. If it was an offensive weapon, Bao Zixuan probably would not dare to do this.

After seeing the boss nodding to express his understanding, John Chambers continued: "When it comes to branches in the United States, the fastest growing ones are Internet companies. The White House requires that the United States be the first to be connected to the Internet, so major universities and scientific research institutions are

We began to desperately buy equipment; after all, the government has a lot of subsidies in this area. At the same time, major universities do not want to fall behind others."

"So it's all you need to get the equipment, and you don't even care about the price. As a result, Heiyun Network Company's growth in the past year has been amazing. Each month's sales can increase by 50% on the basis of the previous month; even the U.S. factory and the Xiangjiang factory

Although production capacity has been adjusted and expanded, supply still exceeds demand."

As an old man who has worked at Wangan Computer Company for many years, John Chambers is still very familiar with computer equipment. In his previous life, he was the CEO of Cisco; it was under his leadership that Cisco became the number one company by market value at the time.

Now Oblak is still a little immature, but he is better than being young; and his understanding of computer software and hardware is better than that of many professionals. In addition, the founders and CEOs of Cisco are working under him; and he has core patented technologies.

I believe no one can shake Heiyun's position in the field of network equipment.

Bao Zixuan: "Just follow the plan, but you must also pay attention. The White House does not want to see one company dominate or even occupy the entire market. If necessary, multi-protocol routers can be authorized. If Motorola wants to enter this field,

We warmly welcome you.”

Hearing what his boss said, John Chambers certainly understood what he meant. The government would never allow a foreign company to control the most core data exchange terminal in the United States.

Since the boss has given instructions, just follow them.

John Chambers then reported on the situation of several other branches, and the overall results were pretty good. However, the sales of some products have been unable to increase due to positioning issues. This was also done intentionally by Bao Shoufang, after all, Americans did not want to see

When a Hong Kong company that dominates the market appears on the land of the country, sometimes compromises must be made, otherwise it will be difficult to end.

Seeing that it was almost time, John Chambers continued: "Currently, the main personnel of Microsoft are already waiting for you at the Hilton Hotel. They are very confident about ringing the bell for the listing the day after tomorrow. However, Bill Gates hopes to communicate with you alone. It should be

Software licensing issue."

"After all, Microsoft's most profitable software is currently licensed by Heiyun Group. If the contract expires, we are worried that something will happen to the group or it will not be willing to continue cooperation."

"It's true that you are a Microsoft shareholder, but the underwriters want to see the contract. Only in this way can shareholders be reassured."

If something unexpected happens, it must be a matter of identity. If the United States imposes sanctions on Heiyun Group, then the software authorization will become illegal. It is quite normal to think so. It seems that the Americans are ready to take action, otherwise

Why is even Bill Gates worried about this? As for why he is not taking action now, it is probably because he is still useful, or he has not found a suitable opportunity.
