The dinner between MacLehose and Bao Zixuan at the Peninsula Hotel ended soon. Bao Zixuan achieved his goal. He just wanted the mainland construction team to enter the Heung Kong Construction Yulin Institute of Technology. After all, the drawings had been completed. As for the subsequent development of land that can be purchased in the deep sea, he did not insist on getting more land in Xiangjiang. This will not only speed up the construction of schools, but also provide employment opportunities for more mainland workers.
MacLehose knew that Black Cloud was only putting the simplest labor-intensive industries into the deep sea, and he was relieved. As for Bao Zixuan's request to invite a construction team from the mainland, he also knows that Xiangjiang's labor is indeed very high, and now it is very good that mainland workers can come to speed up the construction. To be honest, Bao Zixuan applied in the name of Jianzhu University, otherwise it would be hard to say if it was someone else.
This time I came back with a tight schedule. I was arranging the construction of deep-sea factories and hotels, going to the mainland to explore rare earth deposits, and purchasing smelting equipment in the Soviet Union. At the same time, I was coordinating 10,000 construction workers sent from the mainland to enter the Tianshuiwei Construction University.
After everything was straightened out, Bao Zixuan was ready to leave for Europe. His first stop was the UK. He was going to Oxford University to get his degree certificate, which he could have already obtained. However, Oxford University requires that he must come in person. Bao Zixuan, who is very short on time, can only choose to go to the UK before the German exhibition.
Bao Zixuan flew directly from Xiangjiang to London, which is only an hour's drive from Oxford. Bao Zixuan returned to the UK after a lapse of two years. This time, he thought about going to Germany immediately after finishing his business in the UK. I don't want to make a mess here, but many things often don't develop according to my mind.
When Bao Zixuan arrived at London International Airport, it was exactly 12:00 noon, and the staff of Heiyun's British branch were already waiting for him at the airport.
Heiyun had only one office in the UK before. Later, after hearing some rumors and thinking that the superficial effort should still be done, the office was upgraded to a branch, and it became the headquarters of Heiyun in Europe. The status is equal to that of the United States and RB, which is one of the reasons why the British feel that Bao Zixuan can still be fought for.
Now the head of the European Black Cloud Company is Hashimoto Hiroshi, who attends the completed business management course at Harvard. Feeling that my thoughts and concepts could not keep up with the trend of computer development, I took the initiative to apply for a position in the European branch of Black Cloud. He knew that he couldn't compare to John Chambers in terms of management skills, so he might as well go to Europe.
At present, the preliminary preparations for the German exhibition have been completed, and Hashimoto Hiroshi personally went to the airport to meet Bao Zixuan and his party.
Hashimoto Hao saw Bao Zixuan and said, "Your Excellency the president has worked hard all the way. Should we eat first or go to the company first."
Bao Zixuan: "Hashimoto-kun is not used to staying in Europe, so let's eat first! Let's chat while eating."
The group came to a Chinese restaurant near the company. Hashimoto Hiroshi knew the taste and characteristics of Bao Zixuan. The lunch is generally very simple, just a few simple arrangements.
Bao Zixuan said, "How is the current situation of the company!"
Hashimoto Hiroshi: "Your Excellency, President, Black Cloud Europe currently has a total of 4,200 employees. In addition to the European headquarters of Black Cloud in the United Kingdom, we have also established branches in Germany, France, Denmark, and the Soviet Union. The rest There are offices all over the country.”
"At present, the sales network has spread all over Europe, that is, many dealers in the automotive industry have not seen our cars, so there are not many reservations."
Bao Zixuan: "It's alright, hasn't Lego been looking for us recently!"
Hashimoto Hiroshi: "I have already rejected the Lego issue. They want to revise the contract. Seeing that our products are selling well in the United States and Asia, I want to take a share of the pie; I have arranged for a lawyer to deal with the matter."
Bao Zixuan: "That's for sure. Compared with the US and Asia, the European market is only average. It's not surprising that they have such an idea, but we can't harm our interests."
"In addition, you are now beginning to investigate the major famous scholars in Europe, mainly who are unsatisfactory in the existing units and schools. I hired construction personnel from China mainland. Our own university will be completed soon, and we will need a large number of professors. We teach with lecturers, and if there are only students without teachers then we will be ashamed.”
Hashimoto Hiroshi: "Your Excellency President, please rest assured that many well-known scholars in Europe are not very happy now. The British economy is not good, and the European continent is threatened by war, so many scholars have plans to leave. In the past, their first choice was the United States. , but I think as long as our price is high, we can win some of them to work in Hong Kong."
Hearing Hashimoto Hiroshi's answer, Bao Zixuan was very satisfied. It seems wise to have him come over to Europe to preside over the work.
Bao Zixuan: "Hashimoto-kun understands well, but you're not too young. Now that Gucheng-kun already has a girlfriend, you should also take care of your personal issues."
Hashimoto Hiroshi didn't say anything, but looking at the expression, he should have a girlfriend or a goal.
Hashimoto Hiroshi: "Thank you for your concern, President, I had a girlfriend before, who was opposed by his family, and now he has agreed to our relationship. I also want to go back to RB to get engaged after this exhibition, mainly to settle things. Get married. Be sure to invite the president to attend.”
Bao Zixuan: "Then I want to congratulate you! Hashimoto-kun! The company has a lot of properties in RB. If you go back and choose a property, it will be my wedding gift to you."
Hashimoto Hiroshi knew about RB's house prices. Now it seems wise to follow the president. Getting a set of real estate for marriage, although he can afford it, it also shows his importance in the company in disguise.
After simply eating lunch and dinner, Bao Zixuan and his group walked towards the European Black Cloud Company. Black Cloud Europe is now headquartered in Fleet Street, London, England, where the world's most media outlets are located. Bao Zixuan chose this place to keep up to date with the latest news. Although the house price is very expensive, it is definitely a place where the price is super.
Heiyun adheres to the business characteristics of McDonald's, and all branch properties must be purchased. At present, most of Heiyun's branches and stores are their own, so that in the future, even if they encounter a prodigal, they will not lose their family business so quickly.
After inspecting the company, Bao Zixuan saw that the mental state of the employees was not bad. UU reading and everyone basically recognized Hashimoto Hiroshi's work ideas, which is the basis for improving work efficiency.
At the same time, I checked the financial statements of the European branch in the company. Although the company's financial affairs and PricewaterhouseCoopers will hand over detailed data to Bao Zixuan every month, there is still a process to follow.
Now Black Cloud Group's sales in Europe are mainly concentrated in the game field, as well as a small number of notebook computers and digital camera products. In Europe, the sales of toys are very general because there is no Lego king. The sales of Transformers and Rubik's Cube in Europe can only be said to be quite satisfactory, with no bright spots.
It seems that there is still a lot of work to be done in this exhibition to find a way to make Europeans recognize Black Cloud products. Although the electronics company has no new products this time, the upgraded products are definitely not weak. And wait until the end of September at the Frankfurt Auto Show, which will surprise everyone. It seems that we must vigorously develop new products, otherwise Black Cloud will have no advantage at all compared with industrial giants.
Bao Zixuan will rest in London this evening, and then head to Oxford University tomorrow morning. Not only did he have to receive a diploma, but he also had to give a speech. Originally, he thought of rejecting it, but when he thought that he would use Oxford University a lot in the future, he not only had to give a speech, but also flatter him, although it was against his will. But this is life, and you have nothing to do with him.
In the evening, Hashimoto Hiroshi called all the employees of Black Cloud in the UK to have a dinner together, which has now become a tradition for Bao Zixuan to go to the branch. Thinking that the best way to let employees know and understand the boss is to integrate into them, so Bao Zixuan invites all employees to dinner every time he goes to a place. It is also to deepen their impression of each other. Although some lose their prestige, they always feel that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, so this tradition has always been reserved.
