After thinking about it carefully for a while, He Shirley felt relieved.
Didn't Yao Yuan treat her the same way at that time?
But relatively speaking, the difference is quite big. Yao Yuan chose her because he had frequent contact with her before, got to know her well, and saw her working ability.
It can be said that Yao Yuan knew nothing about Xiao Jiabing, so his sudden decision to admit Xiao Jiabing was naturally childish.
Xiao Jiabing, who was in his forties, was as excited as the new recruits who faced their commanders and was speechless.
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. At his age, it is already difficult to find a satisfactory job in Hong Kong. At first, he looked down on BMW Machinery and did not want to work for a factory in the mainland, but Shirley He said that he could join Hong Kong Broad
, the salary is the same as that of companies in Hong Kong, but people need to work in Nangang.
As a result, many competitors suddenly appeared.
Xiao Jiabing was not confident. He never expected that he would be the one to get an interview with his boss in the end, and he never expected that the young boss would admit him right after he landed.
It can be said to be a series of unexpected surprises.
Yao Yuan didn't know what Xiao Jiabing was thinking. As a latecomer, he knew Xiao Jiabing too well. At this stage, what Yao Yuan lacks most is professional managers, and Xiao Jiabing is undoubtedly the best among them.
According to the biography, Xiao Jiabing made his comeback by relying on his annual salary and dividends as a professional manager. Later, he no longer started a business, but made a lot of investments. Entering the 21st century, his investments have gained more and more generous profits.
In return, he increased his investment in mainland industries and donated more and more teaching buildings...
Among his subordinates, only He Xueli could barely get along with modern corporate managers, but Yao Yuan had already made arrangements for He Xueli. As the office director, he was actually Yao Yuan's secretary, and He Xueli was already at his wits end.
The arrival of Xiao Jiabing solved the urgent need.
"The cooperation ceremony between BMW Machinery and Mitsubishi Motors has been delayed for some days. Lao Xiao, you are here just in time. I will appoint you as the general manager of BMW Machinery, and BMW Machinery will be handed over to you. There will be a meeting soon in the afternoon, and we will discuss it with the city government.
You will attend the signing ceremony as the general manager of BMW Machinery, and it will be left to you to handle with full authority."
Yao Yuan said bluntly, pointing to Lin Wei behind him, and said, "If you need money, please contact Lin Wei. For other matters, please contact Director He. Mitsubishi Motors not only invests money, but also helps us train technical workers. You can contact Sanmu directly on this matter."
Contact Taro."
Xiao Jiabing nodded his head in reply. It was his first time here and his eyes darkened. He had every reason to put forward conditions and gain more support.
However, he was keenly aware that this was the first test question asked by his boss. If he didn't do this question well, he would probably have to go back and forth again and again.
"Mr. Xiao, congratulations!" Yu Yongan, who was sitting in the middle, held Xiao Jiabing's hand and said with a smile.
Xiao Jiabing said, "Thank you boss for your trust. Xiao will do his best."
"Director He has told you about the remuneration. According to the standards of Hong Kong professional managers, there will be generous bonuses at the end of each year, and there will be dividends in the future." Yao Yuan said.
Xiao Jiabing said quickly, "Director He has already said it."
He Shirley turned around and said, "Mr. Xiao, we can sign the contract later."
"Yes, yes." Xiao Jiabing was very excited and saw hope of getting out of the predicament.
After Yao Yuan sent them to the Beach Hotel, he directly booked Villa No. 3. Yuanda Electric will soon open the second floor, and there is no office space. There are 11 two-story villas in the Beach Hotel, and Villa No. 3 is the second floor.
Better, this building has fewer reception tasks and allows long-term rental.
"I'm working here for the time being, Shirley. You can live here if you want, or you can live in a suite in the main building." Yao Yuan looked at the situation of the villa and said.
He Xueli smiled and said, "There is a room upstairs, so I will live here. I don't need to find another place."
The first floor is enough for office, and the second floor is for living.
All fools know that the second floor must be where the boss lives, and no one dares to go there, but that is not necessarily the case for He Xueli. In everyone's eyes, He Shirley is the boss's woman, and then the office director and boss's secretary.
When Shirley He said this, everyone thought it was normal.
Yao Yuan smiled and did not object.
There are two rooms on the second floor. He Shirley dragged her luggage into the second bedroom. The master bedroom must belong to the boss. It can be said that the second floor is a place where idlers are not allowed to enter.
After a few more words, Lin Wei stayed to prepare materials for the meeting with Xiao Jiabing, He Shirley and the others, and then the three of them went to the city hall for the meeting.
Yao Yuan was talking to Yu Yongan in the living room on the second floor.
While Yao Yuan was making tea, Yu Yongan took out the contents of his handbag one by one and said, "Mr. Yao, I've done everything according to your instructions."
There are company information registered in Hong Kong, documents for purchasing land in Shenzhen, and application completion documents for clothing brand trademarks. All preparations have been completed.
To this end, Yao Yuan finally invested 8 million Hong Kong dollars, and Yu Yongan invested 2 million Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 80% and 20% of Yongsheng Garment Co., Ltd. respectively.
But as for the dividend ratio, Yu Yongan accounts for 30%, and the extra 10% is the labor remuneration given to him. However, Yu Yongan does not receive a salary, and his remuneration as the general manager is 10%.
With a registered capital of 10 million Hong Kong dollars, it is a relatively large company even in Hong Kong.
The plan is to invest 10 million Chinese dollars to build a factory in Shenzhen City, which is a top-ranked investment plan in Shenzhen City.
It seems that everything is ready, just waiting for the factory to be built and put into production to make a lot of money. However, the most important problem has not been solved.
The biggest reason why Yu Yong'an's garment factory is in trouble is because there are no orders. His products are mainly exported. However, the drastic changes in the international situation in the past two years have affected the export of Hong Kong's garment industry. Coupled with the rising labor costs in Hong Kong,
The trough came just like that.
His small garment factory was converted into one million shares, and another one million was raised in cash. Most of it was scrapped together. Yu Yongan can be said to have spent all his money.
If Yao Yuan hadn't asked him to find a suitable land to buy in Shenzhen City first, he would have come to Nangang long ago, otherwise he wouldn't be able to relax at all.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Yao, everything that needs to be done has been done. The factory can be built in half a month and a week is enough to install the equipment. The workers are simpler and can be put on the job in a few days of training. It is easy to recruit workers."
, there will be no problem in putting it into production before December 15th.”
"The problem is, we don't have an order."
To say that one thousand means ten thousand means that there is no order.
Yao Yuan's biggest reliance is the US$13.78 million in foreign trade orders, even though he doesn't even have a factory.
Having said that, if Yu Yongan can get orders, he will not be willing to cooperate with Yao Yuan, and Yao Yuan is still the largest shareholder, which is equivalent to handing over the initiative to Yao Yuan.
Yao Yuan had a plan for a long time. He said, "I have arranged the order. The sooner we start work, the better. We will produce winter clothing at full capacity according to the style of the cold zone. Go to the Northeast to investigate and see what kind of clothes the locals generally wear in winter."
, find a few main versions and fully produce them.”
Yu Yong'an didn't understand and said, "The mainland market has great potential. I very much agree with your opinion, Mr. Yao. However, the consumption power of the mainland people is relatively limited, so I'm afraid it won't have great effects in a short time."
"I know you are reluctant to part with the profits from exports, and neither am I." Yao Yuan smiled and said, "Our brand is not very competitive, and it is unrealistic to compete with those big international brands."
Yu Yongan nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, even if it has a price advantage, the brand's appeal in this aspect is not as good as that of foreign brands."
Being able to say the words "brand appeal" shows that Yu Yongan has spent time studying the international clothing market.
Yao Yuan took a sip of tea and said, "Since we can't compete with them for the time being, let's base ourselves on the reality. We have a cost advantage and they have a brand advantage. Why can't we cooperate and complement each other?"
"Cooperation? Those big international brands look down on us." Yu Yong'an said with a wry smile. It's not that he didn't expect it, but he knew it was wishful thinking.
Yao Yuan said, "Their labor costs are high, but the labor costs in the mainland are low. It's not difficult for us to produce for them and get some hard work fees, right?"
Yu Yongan was stunned, his eyes rolled rapidly, "Producing for them...you mean, we help them produce and don't care about the rest?"
"OEM." Yao Yuandao.
Yu Yongan thought quickly, and his expression gradually turned into ecstasy.
Party A provides materials, Party B produces and re-exports, Party B gets foreign exchange, and Party A's labor costs are significantly reduced, getting the best of both worlds.
"Mr. Yao! It's feasible! It's very feasible!"
Yu Yongan said excitedly that he had been working in clothing manufacturing for so many years and knew the situation very well. The labor cost in Hong Kong is too high, but it is low in the mainland! China's demographic dividend has just begun to explode. This wave of dividends can at least be eaten.
Twenty years later, Yao Yuan clearly knows this best.
It’s no wonder that OEM production has become so popular in the past two decades. Many technology-based companies do not have factories at all. They design products, formulate production standards, and hand them over to OEMs. For example, Apple has no factories. Wherever the mobile phones come from, they are all OEMs.
Produced by, for example, Foxconn.
The more Yu Yongan thought about it, the more he thought this method was better. He nodded frequently and said, "Yes, yes, take a piece of clothing as an example. The labor cost accounts for about 30% of the total cost. If we only need 2%
Ten, I don’t have to worry about ordering at all.”
"You will worry about not being able to fulfill the order, rather than worrying about not having any orders," Yao Yuan said.
Yu Yongan nodded repeatedly. He subconsciously thought that Yao Yuan had done a lot of research on the clothing industry and had a deep understanding of the market, so he could come up with excellent ideas.
"Mr. Yao, I know what to do. However, you require that production be put into operation before December 15th. Does this time have any special meaning? I know that the construction efficiency in Shenzhen City is very high. One floor of a building can be built in three days.
, is called Shenzhen market speed. But to be on the safe side, it is always good to have more time.”
Yao Yuan could not tell him that December 25th was the day when the Soviet Union collapsed, so he said, "I have to send a batch of goods to Moscow at the end of next month. Time is very tight. The bottom line is to put it into production before the 15th."
"Mr. Yao, it will be difficult to guarantee the quality." Yu Yongan said with a frown.
Yao Yuan said, "It doesn't matter. As long as it can keep warm and survive the winter, other issues are not important."
"this……"
"Lao Yu, you must ensure the production of ten carriages of winter clothing before the 20th. Therefore, I suggest you not to stay in Nangang. You should prepare now."
Yu Yongan said subconsciously, "Since it is foreign trade, we don't have to produce it ourselves. We can place orders with other garment factories and entrust them to produce the winter clothes we need."
"Well, that's right." Yao Yuan nodded with satisfaction. If Yu Yongan couldn't even think of this method, he would reconsider whether to continue to cooperate with Yu Yongan.
"It's mainly winter clothes. You can get whatever you can. Ten wagons is the minimum requirement. The more the better. You can do this yourself. After organizing the supply, I will arrange for someone to receive it."
Yu Yongan suddenly discovered that Yao Yuan had obviously already made a comprehensive plan, and maybe he already had an export order in hand...
He never imagined that one of the superpowers on this planet would fall apart. Not to mention a businessman, even a senior politician could never imagine that the Red Soviet Union would disintegrate overnight!
The world before 1992 was a bipolar world, with the Warsaw Pact group of countries headed by the Soviet Union and the NATO group of countries headed by the United States. The confrontation between the two ideologies and the Cold War between the two superpowers had no winner or loser.
Everyone thought that the competition and confrontation between the two superpowers would continue. Unexpectedly, one day, one of them suddenly collapsed and became history.
Yao Yuan thought about it for a long time, knowing clearly what would happen on December 25th, but limited to his own abilities, he couldn't do much. He wanted to get a share of the pie, and wanted to get some technology back from the giant bear of the Soviet Union, but he couldn't compete with those who easily
Compared with Western companies with billions of dollars in assets, he is not even an ant.
However, Yao Yuan felt very unhappy when he saw others eating meat. No matter what happened, he had to drink some soup, right?
Using clothing and other light industrial products to open the way is a decision made after careful consideration.
In a previous life, there was a great man who traded the clothes of a dozen carriages for three airplanes. He had an even greater advantage, so why couldn't he do the same?
It can even be said that the purpose of deciding to cooperate with Yu Yongan at that time was to use clothing as a hard currency to enter the post-Soviet market. He personally had no interest in the clothing industry.
After talking with Yu Yongan for more than an hour, Yu Yongan went back to the room in the main building to rest, and Lin Xiaohu brought Lu Sen over.
Yao Yuan asked them to sit down and pour tea while he smoked slowly and paced slowly in front of the window. Lin Xiaohu knew that Yao Yuan was thinking, so he didn't speak. Lu Sen was a little unsure and was doing something.
These days are the most critical time for Liu Yaozong's affairs. At this time, when he was summoned by his boss, and when he saw his solemn look on his face, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
After a while, Lu Sen drank five cups of tea. Yao Yuan came over to sit down, looked at Lu Sen and said, "If I let you go abroad, it could be as short as six months or as long as one or two years. Would you be willing?"
