After settling down Rachel Morgan, Bao Zixuan drove towards the Black Cloud Production Base in Kwun Tong, Kowloon. No matter how you fly from the United States, you have to get rid of the jet lag, even if you are on a private jet. And it has long been seen that Rachel Morgan is a little tired, which is related to the current aircraft environment, but also has a lot to do with being too excited to fall asleep.
Bao Zixuan has not been here for a long time since the construction of Yulin Institute of Technology. At this time, seeing that the Heiyun production base has completely changed, it can be said that the expansion work has never stopped. But everyone understands that the expansion here is coming to an end, and there is no land nearby for Heiyun to build a factory. In addition to reclamation is to expand to the commercial area, the cost will be so high that you doubt your life.
It can be said that most of Heiyun's production and offices are still here, and Bao Zixuan is still waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Huaying to negotiate. At that time, there will be a very big plunge in the housing price of Xiangjiang, and the impact is that the land price of the whole Xiangjiang will plummet. At the same time, the real estate market will shrink significantly in the next few years, and construction costs will be reduced accordingly. At that time, it is time to vigorously develop Tin Shui Wai, and this opportunity is getting closer and closer.
After arriving at the conference room of the Black Cloud production base, I saw that all the management personnel had already arrived. Today is the 1981 summary meeting. All the executives of the group came to Xiangjiang, including Hayao Miyazaki from Japan, John Chambers from the United States, and Hiroshi Hashimoto from Europe. It was supposed to start a long time ago, but Bao Zixuan has been researching ground effect aircraft, which has dragged the meeting to this point.
After Bao Zixuan came in, he smiled and said to everyone, "I'm sorry for the delay, everyone."
At this time, everyone laughed. After looking at everyone's expressions, Bao Zixuan looked at the computer monitor in front of him and saw nothing on his face! What happened to these managers today. It stands to reason that they are mature and stable people, it should not be like this!
Or John Chambers is bolder and has the inherent American humor. He said with a smile: "The successor of the company is more important than anything, and the boss has reached the age of marriage."
Bao Zixuan: "John, which one is this! It's not next to each other."
Yokoi Junpei said with a smile: "Boss, the matter of hugging you and beautiful women has spread throughout Hong Kong, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the whole world will know about it. Today is an unfortunate day for many girls in the world, but for Heiyun, it is an unfortunate day. The new starting point for the sustainable development of the company in the future proves that our company will soon usher in a successor."
Today's meeting is something that has been set a long time ago. To be precise, the time has been determined after the successful test flight of the ground effect aircraft. But it was a coincidence that Rachel Morgan flew to Hong Kong this morning, and now the richest man who needs to borrow Rachel Morgan's identity can only choose to pick up the plane in person, so the meeting was delayed.
Bao Zixuan: "Okay, let's not talk about personal matters now. I have read the data submitted by your companies, and there are no outsiders here. You can introduce your achievements to your colleagues, and make everyone happy."
Still starting from the animation company, only Hayao Miyazaki, the general manager of the animation company, holds a little share of Heiyun Animation, and the other management are pure professional managers. Can only enjoy management dividends, which also makes Miyazaki usually not arguing with everyone, but everyone will give him face. Even Bao Zixuan would let him speak first in a meeting to show respect.
Hayao Miyazaki: "Then of course I won't let it go. At the same time, I also thank the President for giving me the first opportunity to report to work."
"As of December 31, 1981, the animation company has 5,200 employees; a total of 139 cartoons and 43 cartoons are continuously updated and serialized, and there are some other supporting industries that cooperate with animation. Revenue reached US$1.288 billion, profit was US$330 million, and the largest part of expenses was animation staff wages, which accounted for 35% of total sales.”
Everyone felt incredible when they heard this number. No one thought that a children's industry could achieve such high sales. It seems that children's money is still easy to make. Also, the income of animation staff is really good, so that children who are interested in relatives and friends can learn related majors.
Bao Zixuan: "Very well, as long as it's a talent, it's worth spending more money. We can look into the theme park project this year. I heard that Disney is planning to build a large-scale amusement park in Tokyo. You can negotiate with them. All annual profits do not need to be handed over, but the group will not allocate funds for you to build an amusement park."
Hayao Miyazaki: "Disney has contacted us to decorate Tokyo Disneyland with our animation image, and we are still negotiating."
Bao Zixuan: "Very good, I am also very optimistic about this project."
Bao Zixuan knows that Tokyo Disneyland in his previous life was one of the few Disneyland parks in the world that made money. If you can take down the project without paying your own money, or take some shares, it is also a good choice.
In the future, the animation company will not be his focus. After all, this is a project to get up early to make money, and there is not much technical content. Now that his task has been completed, let the animation company develop freely. Moreover, Hayao Miyazaki himself is also a capable person, and at the same time has a childlike innocence; the enthusiasm for animation is still the same, and it can be reassuring to leave it to him.
As soon as Bao Zixuan stretched out his hand, John Chambers nodded and said, "Heiyun Motors now has 3 production bases, and another Shanghai stock market production base is under construction. There are currently 300,000 employees. If the construction of the Shanghai base is completed, Workers will top 400,000. Full-year 1981 sales were $18.9 billion with a loss of $1.2 billion."
Hearing that the sales are so high and there are losses, many people express their incomprehension. Fortunately, everyone's quality is very high, and they didn't interrupt at this time. They all want to hear what John Chambers has to say next.
John Chambers: "The main reason for the loss is that the first phase of the Brazilian factory has just been completed, and the production capacity has not been fully released this year. Subsequent expansion projects have continued, and the Shanghai-listed factory has just started construction. These eat up too much profit for the auto company. If you maintain the current sales scale, you can make no loss this year, and you can make a profit next year.”
Hearing this, everyone feels a lot better. After all, it is not a loss caused by poor sales and chaotic management. It is necessary to invest in new and expanded factories. Once the construction is completed, the fruits will be harvested in the later stage. It is understandable that the premise is difficult.
Bao Zixuan: "If I want to build a car factory in the Middle East with the fastest speed, can the car company keep up with the talent team training?"
Hearing that the new and expanded factories are not enough, the boss actually wants to go to the Middle East to build a factory. What is this situation, where the security environment is not very good.
John Chambers: "The talent development has continued, but the auto companies can't come up with the funds to support the project. There is also a war in the Middle East, and this is not the right time to build production facilities such as factories."
Bao Zixuan: "You don't have to worry about the money, I'll take care of it. We need to speed up the recruitment of management talents, and we need to build the factory where and when it is the first time, even if it will slow down the progress of the Shanghai factory and the Brazilian factory. The second phase of the plan should also give priority to the construction of factories in the Middle East. After you go back, you will first come up with a feasibility report. After a week, we will have a meeting to confirm that Bao Zixuan has no way to talk to everyone at this time. Explain, after all, this production is a war product. Also, this opportunity is fleeting, and I dare not delay for a while.
And the source of funds has been thought out, let the big families in the Middle East contribute; shouldn't they give some money to help them develop their industries!
Just when everyone didn't quite understand it, Bao Zixuan continued: "This factory will not be built in the name of Heiyun, but all the equipment and technical support must be completed by us."
Bao Zixuan does not have the guts to directly produce tanks and armored vehicles under the name of Heiyun, even if you are the son-in-law of the Morgan family. Buying second-hand tanks and armored vehicles from the Soviet Union for modernization is a business that can be done for 5 years. When the situation stabilizes, other civilian vehicles can be produced in the Middle East. At that time, the factory will be authorized to produce Black Cloud cars for exclusive use. Middle East market. At this time, you can't be too blatant. Even if everyone knows that this factory is yours, you must not admit it.
Hearing what the boss said, everyone understood what was going on; the boss wanted to engage in the production of military products, but he didn't dare to say it clearly, and he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. After the ground effect aircraft, everyone found that the boss's ambitions have become bigger and bigger, and they are no longer satisfied with just making some money.
