Ground is being broken on a wasteland in Buntang, with large machinery on site and workers busy in full swing.
Two high-end cars were parked outside the construction site. Chen Yongji didn't wait for his assistant to open the door, but he opened the door and walked out.
In the car behind, Chen Huaying also got out of the car.
When the two saw the huge construction site in front of them, their expressions were uncertain.
Chen Yongji said directly to his assistant: "Go and call the person in charge here."
"yes."
Soon, the assistant brought the person in charge of the construction site, who was a middle-aged bald man.
When the bald man saw Chen Yongji, he bowed quickly. Shunyang Construction was a marginal business in Shunyang Group, but as a middle-level manager, he still knew Chen Yongji. This was also due to Chen Yangzhe's employment system.
Chen Yongji pointed to the construction site and asked: "What project is being built here? I remember that the group has not approved such a large-scale project in the past two years. Is it a private job that your Shunyang Construction took over?"
If it was really a private matter, the senior executives of Shunyang Construction would have reported it to claim credit long ago. What Chen Yongji said was just a trick on this bald man.
Sure enough, the bald man quickly explained: "It's unfair, Vice President, without the group's order, how could we dare to take on any private work? This project was personally ordered by President Chen Yangzhe."
Brother and sister Chen Yongji and Chen Huaying looked at each other and thought: It is indeed so.
"Oh? Are you telling the truth? Bring me your construction drawings." Chen Yongji calmly said sternly to the bald man.
"It's absolutely true, Vice President, how dare I lie to you." In order to prove his "innocence", the bald man quickly asked his men to get the construction drawings.
Not long after, the construction drawings were delivered to Chen Yongji. Chen Huaying stepped forward and looked at them for a long time, but could not figure out the reason.
Chen Yongji became more and more surprised as he watched.
Seeing that her brother clearly saw something but didn't say a word, Chen Huaying was a little impatient: "Hey, what on earth is this?"
"factory."
"factory?"
Chen Yongji's eyes slid over the drawing and said word by word: "No, to be precise, it should be a modern industrial park."
Change source app]
"Industrial park?" Chen Huaying was still confused.
Chen Yongji couldn't help but feel tired when he saw his sister's uneducated appearance. His teammates were all rotten fish. If he hadn't seen that she was still valuable, he would have kicked her away long ago.
"Let's put it this way, you know Shunyang Semiconductor's factory, right?"
"Um."
"If this industrial park is fully built, it will be as big as six Shunyang Semiconductors."
Chen Huaying was surprised when she heard this.
Chen Yongji put away the drawings with a solemn expression: "You also guessed the seriousness of the problem, right? Dad never mentioned this place in the group meeting, which means that this industrial park is not within the territory of Shunyang Group."
Not within the Shunyang Group's territory, that is to say, not within the property they would inherit in the future, Chen Huaying's brain, which was not very good at thinking at first, began to work crazily at this moment.
"It's Haojun, it must be that kid who did it!"
Chen Yongji looked at his sister who almost didn't have jealousy written on her face, and couldn't help shaking his head secretly. No one can stop what the old man wants to do. Similarly, if the old man doesn't want to do something, it's hard to stop him even with a gun pointed at his head.
He nodded.
This can't help but make Chen Yongji wonder, does the old man want to split up Shunyang Group? In order to avoid future succession disputes?
But one thing Chen Yongji knew was that his sister was right. The second son must have had a part in this.
"Brother, this is supposed to be your property and I can't let that guy Haojun take it for nothing!" Chen Huaying said angrily.
Chen Yongji secretly sneered, this idiot, if the old man really only left such a small amount of property to the second family, he would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.
"Let's go back."
"What?"
Chen Huaying looked at her elder brother in disbelief, suspecting that she heard wrongly.
Chen Yongji didn't talk nonsense to her, and sneered: "I think there are people in Shunyang Group who are more concerned about this project than us."
After thinking for a while, Chen Huaying suddenly realized.
.......
Two days later, it was Shunyang Group’s monthly high-level meeting.
However, early that morning, many shareholders came to the conference room with a menacing appearance, which made many executives of Shunyang Group feel uneasy.
A depressing atmosphere enveloped the conference room, and the assistant who prepared the tea was careful not to make a sound for fear of causing disaster in the fish pond.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Chen Yangzhe finally came to the conference room.
"Good morning, President."
"Good morning, President."
Chen Yangzhe noticed something was wrong at a glance. He glanced around at the shareholders who were not supposed to be in the meeting room and said quietly, "Sit down."
After waiting for everyone to sit down, as usual, the presidents of each subsidiary reported on the operating conditions of the previous month. However, just when a president stood up and was about to speak, a shareholder directly interrupted.
"Wait a minute, who here is the president of Shunyang Construction?"
Chen Yangzhe frowned, but did not intervene.
The president of Shunyang Construction, an old man in his fifties, stood up carefully.
The shareholder immediately said sharply: "I heard that Shunyang Construction has taken over a very large project in Buntang, which is equivalent to six Shunyang Semiconductors. Why are we, as shareholders, not aware of such a big thing?"
The little old man's heart trembled and he subconsciously looked at Chen Yangzhe.
Seeing this, Chen Yangzhe suddenly realized, with a sneer on his lips, and glanced at the shareholders present, as well as Chen Yongji's brother and sister.
"President Jiang, if you have anything to say, just tell the truth. It's nothing shameful." Chen Yangzhe walked slowly behind President Jiang of Shunyang Construction, pressed his shoulder and smiled.
President Jiang was so frightened that he almost wet his pants. He was so miserable in his heart. He was a marginal figure in Shunyang Group. He could only sit at the back of the table in high-level meetings. Usually these big shots were not interested in looking at him. Which way?
He didn’t even dare to offend!
However, Chen Yangzhe had already called his name, and President Jiang could only stand up tremblingly.
"We only received this project recently, and we haven't had time to report it to our superiors..."
The shareholders whispered to each other for a while, all with the same expression: "You are a liar."
President Jiang smiled helplessly. Without knowing Chen Yangzhe's attitude clearly, he would not dare to confess the other party. If he offended the shareholders, he would at most receive some scolding. The personnel power was still in the hands of Chairman Chen Yangzhe. If he offended him,
I will pack up and go home immediately.
Chen Yangzhe was very satisfied with President Jiang's answer, patted him on the shoulder, motioned for him to sit down, and then returned to the president's seat.
"Let me tell you for President Jiang. This is an industrial park invested and built by a Finnish company in Korea. Its main business is mobile phones. I personally have a small stake in it. At my strong request, the Finnish company agreed.
All the semiconductors required for production use our Shunyang products!”
The so-called Finnish company was actually registered by Qin Hao to Wu Shixian, mainly to appease the resistance between the authorities and high-tech talents when acquiring Nokia's electronic information department.
At the same time, in order to minimize the interference of Shunyang Group, Qin Hao and Chen Yangzhe also agreed that the new company would not have direct relations with Shunyang Group.
Like the construction of the industrial park, Qin Hao agreed to hand it over to Shunyang Construction after Chen Yangzhe offered to advance 50% of the project funds.
The reason why Chen Yangzhe has not mentioned this matter to Shunyang Group is largely for the sake of face. The old man is very proud and he does not want people to know that he, Chen Yangzhe! has no control over this new company at all.
force.
After hearing what Chen Yangzhe said, the attitude of the shareholders softened a lot and was no longer as aggressive as before.
But Chen Yongji and Chen Huaying saw it with their eyes and were anxious in their hearts. They didn't believe that the old man only held a small share in that company. According to the old man's character, he had always only taken the big share and played small shares.
, he looked down upon it at all.
This is a determined attempt to conceal the property!
However, as soon as Chen Yangzhe glanced at them, the brothers Chen Yongji and Chen Huaying immediately became silent. They lowered their heads in guilty conscience and did not dare to say a word.
The high-level meeting that followed went on uneventfully.
........
In the next half year.
It took Wu Shixian three months to complete the transfer of the electronic information department with Nokia and merge it into the R&D department of the new company "Samsung". At the same time, he re-optimized and allocated positions to the original personnel.
In addition, Qin Hao also opened a "samsung" branch in Korea, which mainly recruits R&D positions such as appearance design and electronic program development. Due to the generous salary and the promotion model of professional managers, it attracted a large number of high-end talents from Korea to join.
.
This also caused dissatisfaction among many Goryeo chaebols, but with Chen Yangzhe's protection, these chaebols could only talk and complain to Chen Yangzhe.
Facts have proved that Korea actually has talents. After half a year of research and development, the first "Samsung" prototype was released.
This is a flip phone. Although it is bloated compared to later flip phones that are less than half the size of a palm, compared with today’s “Big Brother” phones that are often the size of bricks, this phone is very small and exquisite.
"Who came up with this clamshell design? It's simply perfect!" Chen Yangzhe was playing with the prototype, looking like he couldn't put it down. Of course, what he was interested in was not the phone itself, but the huge potential behind this phone.
income.
Wu Shixian's eyes fell on Qin Hao. The clamshell design was naturally proposed by Qin Hao, but he still had no idea how small the mobile phone could be in this era.
At first, his request was to reduce the weight of the mobile phone to less than 500 grams. However, with the joint efforts of the Finnish R&D department and the Korean appearance design department, the weight of the mobile phone was finally reduced to only 300 grams.
This size has reached the point where a palm can hold it. This is a veritable mobile phone. Although its functions are still very rudimentary, it can only make calls and cannot even send text messages. And once the signal is weak, it will
There are disconnections and noise, but this is not a problem with the mobile phone itself, but caused by insufficient base stations.
"When will this mobile phone be ready for mass production?" Chen Yangzhe asked enthusiastically.
Qin Hao looked at Wu Shixian, who understood and quickly reported the report.
"Our industrial park just completed the first phase of delivery last month, and the equipment has been commissioned as soon as possible. It is expected that construction will start at the end of this month."
Chen Yangzhe smiled at Wu Shixian and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, he moved very quickly."
Qin Hao chuckled: "How about it, Grandpa, the professional manager system is still good, right?"
Chen Yangzhe glared at his grandson and said nothing. He had never denied the advantages of the professional manager system, but he had his own considerations.
Qin Hao knows that it is difficult to shake the values that the old man has formed over the years, but it doesn't matter, a little adds up. As long as "samsung" continues to develop, comparing the two, the old man will soon find that the rigid Shunyang Group
In front of "samsung", it is like a slow-moving classic car.
Chen Yangzhe looked at his high-spirited grandson and his subordinate Wu Shixian, and sighed secretly. If his descendants could be like his grandson, why should he worry about the employment system? When he thought of his incompetent children, Chen Yangzhe
Zhe just had a headache.
........
On September 1, 1991, Wu Shixian held a product launch conference under the instruction of Qin Hao. The product promoted was naturally the first generation "Samsung".
The main promotional slogan of this product is also very simple - the first real mobile phone!
Before this, most mobile phones could only be regarded as mobile phones. The lightest ones weighed no less than 800 grams and could not be held in one hand.
When Wu Shixian took out the prototype from his pocket, the entire venue was silent. Almost three seconds later, the entire venue went crazy. The spotlight almost blinded Wu Shixian's eyes. He could only maintain a smile to show off to the reporters present.
In just one day, mainstream newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times published pictures of Wu Shixian holding a mobile phone in his hand, and television reports also brought the content of the conference to thousands of households in Europe and the United States.
Don’t you want to own a mobile phone that is compact and can really be held in your hand?
As for the price of as high as US$1,999/unit, it is not a problem at all. After all, Motorola’s microtac is priced as high as US$2,500/unit.
What's more, in addition to the classic black, this mobile phone called "Samsung" also has seven gorgeous colors to choose from. This is simply a fatal temptation for female users who are fed up with the same black mobile phones.
In just one month, the sales volume of "Samsung" in Europe and the United States exceeded 500,000 units. Compared with the sales volume of tens of millions in later generations, it seems not worth mentioning, but you must know that this was 1991, and it was close to 2,000 units.
The high selling price in U.S. dollars and the ability to achieve such sales have shocked the world.
Moreover, this is even when dealers in many countries are facing shortages. If production capacity was not insufficient, this sales volume could increase by at least 100,000.
The popularity of "Samsung" made Chen Yangzhe jealous, and he even visited the construction site many times to urge Shunyang Construction to complete the second phase of the project as soon as possible.
Chen Yongji and Chen Huaying were even more sore that they almost lost their teeth. That was 500,000 units. Each unit cost 1,999 U.S. dollars. That was close to a billion U.S. dollars in sales. Even if all costs were discarded, it was only 10%.
Profit, even if it is 100 million US dollars, what is the concept of net profit of 100 million US dollars in one month?
This is simply a cornucopia. No, the cornucopia is not that fast. It is completely a money printing machine!
Now, brother and sister Chen Yongji and Chen Huaying could not sit still. They often made insinuations to test the old man's attitude, dreaming of getting "Samsung" into their hands.
