Super Tycoon

"Son, what kind of MP3 technology did you authorize to Wanyan Company?" Zhang Weiguang was smoking a cigarette with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Yes, authorized to Wanyan Company."

"What do you think? Wanyan Company is a share of Zhiduoxing Education Fund. Although the authorization fee is not low, it is at least twice as profitable as our own production."

"Didn't you say that the company is short of money, and there are some companies that want to invest, but don't have the money to buy shares? You run the company's IPO financing just to raise more funds to invest in other related companies, but you gave up a big piece of cake yourself?"

You can make money by producing MP3 yourself, so why go public for financing? It sounds good to go public, but Zhang Weiguang always feels that it is not worthwhile to distribute the money to others.

"Dad, have you forgotten what we said at the beginning? The company's personnel cannot continue to increase indefinitely. Don't forget, our annual salary increase is very high."

"Now the average cost for an employee is almost 20,000. In a few years? In ten years?"

"And our company's products cannot always guarantee a high profit margin. When the profit margin drops and the personnel expenditure is particularly high, the easiest solution is to lay off employees."

"But you oppose the company's layoffs and think it's very inhumane. Actually, I don't want to, and the company hasn't reached that point yet. It's just giving you a vaccination in advance."

"I asked you at the beginning, you want to make the company a century-old enterprise, then you must consider sustainable development. The replacement speed of electronic products will be faster and faster, which can be seen from PC products."

"And the mobile phones we used, what was the mobile phone like at the beginning, and what is the current mobile phone? How many people will buy a BP machine when they have money in their pockets? Mobile phones that can make direct calls are more popular, even if they are more expensive to use. .”

"So the company's investment in the R\u0026D department must continue to increase. Only in this way can we ensure that we always have products that consumers like, so that we will not fall behind, and even be in a leading position."

"In fact, in terms of technology, we are inferior to some big companies in island countries, Europe and the United States. We only rely on some new ideas to make consumers like it."

"But in the future, the effect of ideas will become weaker and weaker, and the competition between companies is technology. The technology is advanced enough, and it doesn't need any packaging promotion, and it will still be liked by consumers."

"It's like Microsoft's system. Have you seen their advertisements in China, but are all computers using Windows systems now?"

"Now the company is doing MP3, of course there is no problem, but this product still needs to be promoted, and our energy and funds are not enough to develop two important businesses at the same time."

"Dad, although this MP3 player is good, it won't last for a few years, and it will be updated. We'll just produce the next generation."

Zhang Weiguang put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray: "Produce the next generation? At that time, our production capacity will be high enough? Shouldn't we expand the factory?"

"No, at that time we found a foundry to produce. At present, the foundry industry is booming. They rely on standardized production processes to greatly improve production efficiency and reduce costs. This is something that many large companies cannot do. Arrived."

"It can be said that their management is very strict and unreasonable. This is different from our company's business philosophy, so we cannot introduce it."

Doesn't Zhang Yang know the benefits of standardized production? I know, but after a few years of using this model, there will be problems. Because the high pressure must be brought about by great mental pressure. If it is not done well, someone will collapse. At that time, it will have a great impact on the corporate image.

The positioning of Zhiduoxing Group is not a manufacturing industry, and there is no need for this. The current factory will not continue to expand, and may even be reduced or even sold in the future.

At the beginning, so many factories were needed to quickly increase production capacity. At that time, there were no top-level foundries in China. But now, the company needs to change for the future.

MP3 is a product used to open up the market,

To compete with Songxia, Suoni, Apple, Samsung and many other giant companies, Zhiduoxing also has to take care of the game industry, which is really beyond its capabilities.

That's why this product is first authorized to Wanyan to produce. In the future, when Wanyan is uncertain, he will actively ask Zhiduoxing to join hands. At that time, Zhiduoxing will have time to produce again.

It is precisely because Zhiduoxing needs money to invest that it did not make this MP3, because the initial investment of this product is not a small amount, at least hundreds of millions of dollars.

Now Zhiduoxing Group directly authorizes Wanyan to make an advance payment, including some shares, and continue to enjoy dividends in the future. How cost-effective is this?

With this money, Zhiduoxing can also have more sufficient funds to invest in hardware companies and expand its own industrial chain.

When Zhang Weiguang heard his son say this, he probably understood what his son meant. That MP3 player was not as good as he imagined, and it was difficult to make money in a short period of time, at least not within a year.

However, the son needs to obtain a large sum of money for investment within a year, so he has to authorize the technology to Wan Yan, but fortunately he is not an outsider.

"I heard that you met people from Songxia a few days ago. Why do you want to cooperate with them? What Songxia is best at is TV?"

In the minds of Chinese people, the best product of Songxia is the TV set, but in fact Songxia is an enterprise with a very wide industrial layout.

Electronics and electrical appliances are their main industries, but there are also communication, aviation, real estate, finance, industrial equipment, air conditioning, Internet, food and other aspects.

They are not only for civilian use, but also some military products are being produced, such as their communication technology, and now they have many cooperations with the military~~~of the island country, as well as combat~~machines and so on.

Of course, Songxia is mainly recognized internationally for electronic appliances, followed by industrial equipment. For food, etc., most of them are equity investments, and many brands are not in the mainstream.

"Dad, Songxia hasn't thought about giving up the game industry yet, so they want to cooperate with us in multiple ways. I don't know if the cooperation will be successful, but at least it can add some resistance to their cooperation with Microsoft and Nintendo."

"I don't plan to make TV either. The domestic market is developing very fast, but there are already many domestic brands, and there are foreign brands entering. If we go in and compete, we won't be able to make a lot of money."

"It's better to use the funds to develop our advantageous industries, find ways to expand our advantages, and let others catch up with no hope in a short time, so that we can expand our business scope."

"Songxia is still the world's top manufacturing company. I hope they can accept our OEM orders, so that we can ship products to all parts of the world faster."
