Chapter 78: One hundred million Hong Kong dollars is enough for the time being
After resting one night on Lamma Island, at noon the next day, Su Cheng and others slowly left the pier on the yacht and headed back to the Central Pier.
Now, Su Cheng is a big celebrity in Xiangjiang, so before he came back, he specially dressed up, wearing a hat and sunglasses. Unless he paid special attention, he would usually not be recognized.
Their car was parked in the parking lot of the Central Pier. After landing, Su Cheng asked the driver to drive directly to the Su Group Building.
During the time after returning from Europe, Su City has been busy with Hutchison Whampoa, and the Su Group has not paid much attention to it.
It has been some time since Yang Chaoye took up the post of Su Group, so it’s time to go and take a look.
Su Group Building, CEO Office, Su Cheng met Yang Chaoye, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Boss, congratulations. I didn't expect that your strength is stronger than I imagined." Seeing Su Cheng, Yang Chaoye first congratulated you.
This is Hutchison Whampoa, a large company with a market value of billions. It is not easy to completely privatize such a large foreign bank.
"Thank you. It has been a while since Mr. Yang took office at Su Group. How do you feel?" Su Cheng found a chair, sat down and asked with a smile.
"During this period, I became familiar with all the subsidiaries of the Su Group, screened out high-quality subsidiaries and low-quality subsidiaries, sold some industries with little future and serious losses, and then focused the funds on investment to develop profitability.
A high-quality subsidiary with good prospects."
As the saying goes, there are three things a new official should do when he takes office. Obviously, Yang Chaoye is ready to light the first thing.
The Su Group is indeed a large enterprise in Hong Kong, with a total valuation of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. In fact, it is just an unknown small company internationally.
Such a small group has nearly a hundred subsidiaries, which is a bad word. It is not strong and wants to get involved in everything, so it is difficult to develop quickly.
If it weren't for Su Tianhe's relatively strong capabilities, it would be difficult for the Su Group to develop to a market value of hundreds of millions.
"What do you think of Zhang Li's management level? Do you want to recruit a new deputy for you?" Su Cheng asked
"It's good. She knows everything about the Su Group very well, and she is still able to maintain the Su Group at a normal speed and continue to develop without a general manager. She has the ability and is more than enough to be my deputy.
." Yang Chaoye commented.
"Okay, the affairs of the Su Group will be left to you from now on. I believe in your ability." Su Cheng nodded.
In fact, Yang Chaoye's handling method is similar to Wei Li's early handling of the Hutchison Whampoa matter. They both eliminate the useless ones and then focus the funds on developing more profitable ones. This can make the group more profitable in a short period of time.
Restore life.
"I learned that the novel "Looking for Qin" serialized in the "Chivalry Literary Novel Newspaper" was written by you, boss. To be honest, I really didn't expect that a rich man like you, boss, would have such literary talent and write
Books are also time-consuming. To be honest, although you are young, I, an old man, cannot understand you more and more." Yang Chaoye said with emotion.
Writing a book? Su Cheng doesn’t have to write it himself, it’s just a simple matter.
"It makes no sense to say this. Mr. Yang, you were the vice president of IBM Group before. You should know the computer industry very well. I also want to develop in this field. Although there are still few people using computers now, I think in the future
In this world, computers will become a very important part of people's lives. Originally, I wanted to let Hutchison Whampoa develop it because they have a good technological and industrial foundation. However, I thought that Mr. Yang is more familiar with this area, so
I'm going to leave this task to you." Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Of course I know this business. I have been dealing with computers all my life. Don't worry, leave it to me. You don't have to worry about talent. I have been at IBM for so many years. Basically, there are no technical talents in this field in the United States who don't know me.
I know a lot of computer giants, and many have worked under me. As long as the salary is enough, it will not be a problem to recruit some elites or even technical experts, but the funds must be in place." When it comes to computers, Yang Chaoye said
Face confidence.
In fact, the industrial level of Xiangjiang in the 1970s was very strong, even among the best in the world.
In the early 1970s, the rapid development of Xiangjiang's industry impressed the world. The export value and quantity of many industrial products such as clothing, watches, and toys ranked first in the world. Xiangjiang, which is at the forefront of the world's emerging industrial economic regions, has become a
One of the "Four Little Dragons" in Asia.
In this context, it is not difficult to develop high-tech industries. What is difficult is the high investment in scientific research.
However, these are not a problem for Su City. Xiao Ai has many technological products that are decades ahead of the world's technology. There is no need to invest too much money in research and development.
The level of computers must be improved first, and then the world's technology can accelerate its development.
"I will first transfer 100 million Hong Kong dollars to the company's account. I have a short-term investment project in the past few months that requires a relatively large amount of funds. You should establish the computer project first and recruit talents first. I will provide more funds later.
"Help." Su Cheng said with a smile.
Although he currently has more than HK$4 billion in funds that he can use, he should keep these for other purposes, such as computers. When Yang Chaoye sets up a subsidiary, his funds should be able to be withdrawn.
"One hundred million Hong Kong dollars is enough for the time being. I will put up the rack as soon as possible." Yang Chaoye nodded and said.
As for what Su Cheng said about providing more help, Yang Chaoye thought it meant providing financial help.
In fact, Sioux City will provide them with advanced technology so that new products can be produced as quickly as possible.
Of course, this road has to be taken step by step. For example, now, Sioux City will at best come up with the computer technology of the mid-1980s, but it is impossible to directly come up with the computer technology of the 21st century.
Because with the current industrial level, it is simply impossible to make such a product.
The pace is too long, and it is easy to pull the balls.
"Well, in addition, Su Group and Hutchison Whampoa Group can have close cooperation. Both of you are my companies, which can be regarded as a brotherly relationship. Only by developing each other can we develop more in this fiercely competitive market.
Okay! I will talk to Wei Li at Hutchison Whampoa," Su Cheng continued.
"This is the best thing. Hutchison Whampoa's strength is more than ten times that of our Su Group. By cooperating with them, our Su Group's development speed will be even faster." Yang Chaoye agreed.
"It's been a while since I came to Xiangjiang. Are you getting used to it? How do you feel?" After the conversation was over, Su Cheng learned about Yang Chaoye's current situation.
"I like this city very much, and so does my wife. If my children hadn't grown up and they had their own ideas, I would have wanted them to come to Hong Kong for development." When Yang Chaoye talked about this, his face showed
smile.
