The two brothers were quarreling for a while, and then the guests came.
Miss Dong arrived first, and as soon as she finished greetings, someone unexpected appeared to her.
Ye Minfeng of Skyworth is not only the vice president in charge of marketing and sales, but also one of the shareholders and the real boss. Neither she nor Jiang Baoguo of Changhong Factory are just part-time workers in the final analysis.
Moreover, Skyworth has a Hong Kong investment background and is a technology-based enterprise that the Shenzhen market attaches great importance to.
"Mr. Ye, we meet again." Miss Dong stood up and extended her hand.
Ye Minfeng walked a few steps quickly and shook hands with Miss Dong, "Hello, Manager Dong."
Yao Yuan asked them to sit down and said, "Sit down, please. I invite you here to talk about the products exclusively supplied by Yuanda. The reason why we chose Gree and Skyworth is because you two attach great importance to technology research and development and the technological reform of products.
Innovation.”
"Previously, I have entrusted Skyworth to customize a color TV for Yuanda Electric, but a color TV alone is not enough. It also needs air conditioning. I want to leave this aspect to Gree."
Having passed the air conditioner before, Ms. Dong knew it well. She said, "The leaders of our factory agreed in principle to develop a special air conditioner based on the technical indicators and product parameters proposed by Yuanda Electric. However, the development of new products takes time, and the research and development cycle cannot be estimated.
."
She also conveyed the leadership's wishes in a practical and realistic manner.
At this time, Ms. Dong was only a middle-level cadre and did not have much say in the factory.
In her personal view, technology research and development is the magic weapon to win, and it must be the only one. Unfortunately, she cannot make the decision. The leader's answer is equivalent to a polite rejection of Yuanda Electric's request for cooperation. She has been mentally prepared to be beaten by Yao Yuan.
Drive out of the reception room.
Yao Yuan's idea is extremely simple.
What he valued was Miss Dong as a person, not the Gree Factory itself.
For a business leader with outstanding abilities, all he lacks is a platform. Even if there were no Gree, there would still be factories such as Philly and Gree.
As long as Ms. Dong is still engaged in this industry, her talents will definitely be brought into play.
In the historical trajectory, Ms. Dong has gradually gained the trust and respect of the leaders of the competent departments in the past few years, thus bringing Gree to one peak after another.
This time point was after the "Second Spring Breeze Speech". One of the places the chief designer inspected was the Xiangzhou Special Economic Zone where Gree is located.
The old man said that the more courage you have, the more steps you take.
As a result, the reform and opening up economy moved forward at full speed.
Yao Yuan said to Miss Dong, "Manager Dong, I believe in you and I am confident in the cooperation between the two companies. If you continue to work hard, it will not be too late to make a decision after the Spring Festival."
Miss Dong was surprised and said in surprise, "Mr. Yao, are you willing to give me some time?"
"Of course I do. I even think that Gree will develop better and better under your leadership." Yao Yuan said with a smile.
Miss Dong's brows twitched a few times, she took a deep breath and said, "Thank you Mr. Yao for your trust. I, I will do my best."
At this moment, she made up her mind to report to the next level.
Yao Yuan said, "You two can definitely cooperate in technology. Skyworth has a close relationship with Hong Kong and has an advantage in acquiring new technologies. Skyworth's focus is on color TVs, and Gree's focus is on air conditioners. You have no conflict."
Calling these two people here was meant to promote cooperation between the two of them.
Gree and Skyworth are two very energetic and technology-oriented new companies. Although the former is a local state-owned enterprise, it is located in the Special Economic Zone and adjacent to Macau. The leaders of the competent authorities have a greater breadth of thinking, know people well, and dare to use their talents.
People like Miss are the leaders, and companies attach great importance to technology research and development.
Not to mention Skyworth, Ye Minfeng is a technician himself. Although he was "borrowing chickens to lay eggs" in the early stage, he never gave up on the research and development of his own technology.
This kind of enterprise that attaches great importance to technology research and development is what Yao Yuan values.
On the other hand, Changhong Factory is complacent and only values immediate profits. As long as the reports are good-looking and it is said that it is seeking to go public, all the funds are used for "face projects" and the money allocated to technology research and development is a drop in the bucket.
Therefore, even though Changhong Factory is currently Yuanda Electric's largest supplier, in Yao Yuan's heart, the status of this company is not even as good as Skyworth, whose factory is still under construction.
"Manager Dong, we at Skyworth are very sincere in cooperating with Gree on technology. Our two companies have complementary advantages," Ye Minfeng said.
Ms. Dong said with embarrassment, "I am also very willing to cooperate with Skyworth, but I have to report to the leader."
"Understood, I believe you, Manager Dong, can convince the leaders to agree to the cooperation between the two companies." Ye Minfeng said, nodding slightly and smiling.
Yao Yuan said, "Yuda Electric wants to customize air conditioners and color TVs. Skyworth has signed a cooperation agreement with Panasonic to use their technology to produce the first Yuanda Electric special color TV. Manager Dong, now it depends on your actions. Yuanda Electric will probably
These two exclusive products will be launched on May Day, and there will be relevant supporting policies. So, the premise is that you have to come up with the products."
Yao Yuan and Ye Minfeng cooperated tacitly, and Ms. Dong even suspected that Yao Yuan held shares in Skyworth.
Her suspicions were correct.
Yao Yuan not only holds shares in Skyworth, but is also a major shareholder!
After feeling the pressure, Miss Dong nodded solemnly and said, "Mr. Yao, I understand, and I will definitely give you and Yuanda Electric a clear answer in the shortest possible time."
Yao Yuan smiled and nodded slightly, invited everyone to drink tea and stopped talking about business. After chatting for a few words, Miss Dong apologized sensibly and left.
Ye Minfeng adjusted his sitting posture and began to report on the company's situation.
"Mr. Yao, our factory will be put into use next month, and we will try to complete the installation of the production line before the Spring Festival. However, Panasonic still needs your urging. The Japanese are very assertive, and I am worried that they will delay time. For this reason
It's not worth going to court with them." Ye Minfeng first reported the difficulty.
Why let Yao Yuan invest?
Because Yao Yuan has the ability to let Panasonic and Skyworth cooperate, and it is an in-depth technical cooperation. To put it bluntly, Panasonic sells production lines and production technologies, not obsolete production lines and production technologies, but main production lines and production technologies.
The production line and related technology that can simultaneously produce 19-42-inch flat-screen color TVs were sold to Skyworth Technology for US$8 million.
Without Jitaro Mitsubishi and Mitsubishi Motors intervening and conducting interviews in the name of Hong Kong Yuanda Trading Company, this matter would never have been possible.
The Japanese guard against Chinese people as much as they guard against thieves. Ironically, they themselves are thieves.
Yao Yuan predicts that after digesting these technologies from Panasonic, Skyworth Technology will basically stand on the technical level of major foreign manufacturers, provided that the subsequent research and development progress is not left behind.
Skyworth Technology must have the ability to compete with major foreign manufacturers when the LCD screen era arrives.
Yao Yuan invested in the production line and related technologies and suddenly became the largest shareholder of Skyworth Technology. However, he promised to hand over the daily operations of the company to Ye Minfeng and would only exercise the decision-making power of the major shareholder when it comes to the company's strategy.
Ye Minfeng was originally the smallest individual shareholder. Because he knew technology, he became the vice president. Now with the support of Yao Yuan, he suddenly squeezed out several superiors above him, conducted a thorough change of the entire team, and formed
R&D center, personally managed.
Yao Yuan will not act arbitrarily and will not do anything at all. In other words, it is Ye Minfeng who has the final say for Skyworth Technology, which has nearly 15 million US dollars in funding.
Ye Minfeng has been doing this since the conversation in the provincial capital until now.
After the dust finally settled, he ran over to Nangang to find Yao Yuan to report.
Only Lin Wei and He Shirley knew about Yao Yuan's investment in Skyworth Technology. Lin Wei was in charge of money. It was impossible for him not to know that He Shirley was in Hong Kong handling the affairs of Hong Kong Yuanda Trading, and investing in Skyworth Technology was one of the important matters. She
Nature also knows it.
Everyone has also seen Yao Yuan's ambition - not only to sell home appliances, but also to control the upstream, build his own home appliances, and take all the profits into his own mouth.
However, Yao Yuan considers more than just profits in every link of the industrial chain.
"Minfeng, I can tell you this time, but how will the relationship with Panasonic be handled in the future? How can we make them follow our plan and even control more technology in our own hands? This
This is what you have to do as the CEO of a company." Yao Yuan said seriously.
Ye Minfeng's heart trembled, he subconsciously sat up straight, his heart beat faster, and he quickly said, "Yes, yes, Mr. Yao, I understand, I, please rest assured, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
He Xueli didn't think anything was wrong. Even if Ye Minfeng, who was in his thirties, faced Yao Yuan, who was eighteen years old, she didn't feel any sense of violation.
But in Lin Wei's opinion, Ye Minfeng's actions and tone were too exaggerated, making him look like his grandson, which was too much. However, he was not stupid. He knew that Yao Yuan was deliberately trying to establish his authority, so he also imitated Yao Yuan.
He put on a cold face.
The atmosphere in the reception room suddenly became a little cold.
Yao Yuan said in a deep voice, "Skyworth Technology's vision is not limited to home appliances. I don't think you, Ye Minfeng, want to build color TVs for the rest of your life. Even in the LED screen era, the technical content of TVs is only this."
"Mr. Yao, I was wrong, I was in a trance." Ye Minfeng looked sad and lowered his head.
Mr. Yao must have known what he had done, and Ye Minfeng regretted it endlessly.
Yao Yuan continued to say in a deep voice, "Being young has the advantage of being young, but it also makes you not stable enough when doing some things. You are a talented person with a technical background, and now you have the support of capital, so you can flex your muscles, but in
You must be careful not to make mistakes during this process. During the startup period, a hidden danger left unattended may become a time bomb that leads to the collapse of the company."
"Mr. Yao, I understand that I will never be impulsive in the future. I promise you that the previous incident will not affect the development of Skyworth Technology." Ye Minfeng wanted to swear to the sky.
He Xueli looked suspicious, not knowing what they were talking about. After thinking about it carefully, there was nothing that would "affect the development of Skyworth Technology".
Did Ye Minfeng do some small tricks in private and was discovered by Mr. Yao?
She looked at Lin Wei. Lin Wei's expression did not change. Did Lin Wei know?
Lin Wei knew that he, the office director, did not know what this meant...
If Yao Yuan deliberately hid it from her, it means that Yao Yuan no longer trusts her. If not, then he did not know that such a big thing happened, which is a dereliction of duty...
No matter which situation happened, He Shirley became alert and sweat broke out down her back.
In just a few seconds, He Shirley's psychological drama was played out several times...
Yao Yuan didn't know what He Xueli was thinking. He looked at Ye Minfeng and continued, "I asked you to find a way to contact people from Motorola. How did it go?"
He is clearly an 18-year-old college student, but he has the aura of a senior leader. His aura completely overwhelms Ye Minfeng, who graduated from the University of Hong Kong.
Ye Minfeng said quickly, "I have contacted them, but their price is very high. I plan to find a group of technical personnel to come over and start the development work first. We are blind now, and it is easy to be deceived by them."
"Well, this idea is correct. There are two ways to go: independent research and development and foreign introduction. In the end, we have to base ourselves on independent research and development. Contact more companies, such as those from Japan, South Korea, and Baodao. It does not necessarily have to be the overall technology. Importing it
For key technologies, domestic technologies can be used for other technologies, and sometimes it is better to visit domestic scientific research institutions." Yao Yuan said in a deep voice.
Ye Minfeng said decisively, "Mr. Yao, please rest assured that from today on, I will devote all my time to my career and do my best to build the company!"
"If you don't do well, I will withdraw my capital." Yao Yuan said calmly.
Ye Minfeng's pressure suddenly increased. He was moved and scared at the same time. He was moved because it could be heard from this sentence that the purpose of Yao Yuan's investment was because of him, and what he was afraid of was Yao Yuan's withdrawal.
He absolutely believed in what Yao Yuan could do.
In his opinion, Yao Yuan, who can easily get tens of millions of dollars in foreign trade orders, really doesn't care about this investment loss.
Ye Minfeng stood up suddenly, "Mr. Yao, I won't say anything else. Just look at my performance. If I can't get the company started as planned, I, Ye Minfeng, will give up all my rights to Skyworth Technology!"
Lin Wei couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said sincerely, "Mr. Ye, you are a real man!"
"Manager Lin, please stop making fun of me..." Ye Minfeng said with a wry smile.
Just listen to this scene of determination, whoever takes it seriously is a fool.
However, being able to say such words is enough to prove that Ye Minfeng's attitude is quite determined.
"I believe you can do it. I hope you will let me use your own mobile phone as soon as possible." Yao Yuan said.
Ye Minfeng made a decisive statement, "Please rest assured, Mr. Yao!"
"What is a mobile phone?" Lin Wei asked.
Ye Minfeng hurriedly explained, "It is a Big Brother. To be exact, it is a handheld wireless communication device, but it is much larger than Big Brother, and the communication technology used is different from Big Brother..."
"Okay, if you tell him about analog networks and digital networks, he won't understand. In short, they are just handheld phones that are much easier to use than big brothers. Do you understand, Fei Wei?" Yao Yuan said with a smile.
Ye Minfeng didn't dare to talk to him. This fat man was the God of Wealth. He was in charge of all Mr. Yao's money and had the real power!
