Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

"Chairman, are you looking for me?"

This morning, Huo Jianning came to Xia Yu's office.

"Well, let go of what you're doing first and go to Tiangong Group with me."

Xia Yu said, got up and picked up the suit hanging behind him and put it on.

Huo Jianning was a little surprised, but immediately responded: "Okay."

"By the way, take the newspaper from "Fengyun Daily" on the desktop and take a good look at it on the way."

"OK."

Just after Huo Jianning picked up the newspaper, Xia Yu also finished getting dressed and walked towards the door.

Huo Jianning could only stuff the newspaper into his bag and follow step by step.

After coming downstairs, the team was ready, Xia Yu took Huo Jianning to the explosion-proof car in the middle.

Afterwards, the convoy started and drove towards Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park.

At this time, Huo Jianning finally had time, opened the briefcase, and took out the Fengyun Daily.

"Fengyun Daily" publishes global events outside Hong Kong.

After browsing for a while, his eyes were fixed on one place on the second page.

I saw the title there that read "The US Department of Commerce finds that island country's read-only memory dumped the United States"

On February 17, 1986, the U.S. Department of Commerce…

After reading the entire report carefully, a series of thoughts appeared in Huo Jianning's mind.

At this time, Xia Yu smiled and asked, "Jianning, what do you think?"

Huo Jianning came back to his senses and replied after thinking for a moment: "Chairman, I don't know much about the global chip market, but I think that now that the US Department of Commerce has made a determination, there will definitely be a series of sanctions in the future."

"The island nation must still be struggling, but it shouldn't be able to succeed."

"It's just that if we want to enter this market, will the United States also impose sanctions on us in the future?"

Xia Yu smiled: "It's hard to say."

"At least it should be impossible before the return of Xiangjiang, but maybe after the return."

"But the chip market is more complicated and crucial, and we have to do this."

"But for long-term consideration, you have to study the doorway inside."

"In any case, the sanction of the island country tells us that technology and market are both important, but a country's comprehensive strength is more important."

"You are right."

Huo Jianning nodded in agreement, and subconsciously glanced towards the north, which was the direction of the mainland.

After that, Xia Yu didn't speak any more, leaving Huo Jianning to think about the deep meaning of his words by himself.

After ten minutes.

The convoy finally entered the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park.

Came to the area of ​​Tiangong Group.

Tiangong Group occupies the largest place in the entire Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park.

This can be seen at a glance in the aerial view of the industrial park.

Among the entire Tiangong Group, the one with the largest area is Tiangong Auto Parts Group.

Tiangong Automobile Group has not only a million-capacity automobile manufacturing base in Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park, but also the most core Tiangong Automobile R\u0026D Center. It also has many subsidiaries.

For example, Tiangong Motorcycle Manufacturing Company, Indonesia Automobile Manufacturing Company, Zongfuhang Automobile Trading Co., Ltd., Lamborghini, Lotus, McLaren, Aston Martin, Federal-Mogul, Tiangong Driving School and so on.

It's just that most of these companies are in foreign countries.

The general manager of Tiangong Group is still Chen Caijun. He has not lived up to Xia Yu's expectations in the past few years.

Whether it is R\u0026D or production and sales, the group is doing well in all fields.

After the on-site visit, Xia Yu had a clear grasp of the situation of Tiangong Automobile Group.

Chen Caijun adheres to the concept of Xia Yu, and did not launch many new models in the past few years of the company's development, but concentrated on optimizing the original models, upgrading them, and making every effort to establish a brand and build a reputation.

Whether it is Fengshen sports car, or Shenyu model, honor model, SUV, the main models on the market are the second generation.

It's just that the first-generation models have not been fully discontinued, but production capacity has been severely reduced.

In terms of the price of cars, due to the development of the global economy in recent years, the currency has naturally depreciated, and the price of cars has also risen.

For example, the price of the luxury sedan Shenyu II has reached $24,800, an increase of $1,900 over the previous Shenyu generation.

Of course, Chen Caijun's operation is stable, but he is not lacking in enterprising spirit, and his vision is far-reaching.

Therefore, it also launched a new model, the Morningstar cx model, which is a sedan that makes up for the low-end market of Tiangong Automobile Group.

The naked car is priced at $10,800, which is $5,000 or $6,000 less than the mid-sized Honor generation.

This car was officially introduced to the market in August 1985.

To date, global sales have reached 121,000 units.

This sales volume is not amazing, but at least it can be regarded as a successful foothold in the market. In the future, if the marketing is proper, it can still be done.

Lamborghini, Lotus, McLaren, Aston Martin and other luxury car brands that are not in Hong Kong, the four brands combined sold less than 10,000 units worldwide last year.

However, it can be seen from the financial report that these luxury car brands are actually making steady progress, but the growth rate is relatively slow due to positioning problems.

But in any case, these luxury car brands are backed by the global sales network of Tiangong Automobile Group, and they have long since gotten out of the quagmire.

There is no doubt that there is a difference between a backer and a backer.

Finally, Xia Yu stayed in Tiangong Automobile R\u0026D Center for a long time.

Before leaving Tiangong Automobile Group, Xia Yu stopped Chen Caijun and gave him a series of instructions.

For example, the Tiangong Automobile production base in Heung Kong has a fixed production capacity of one million vehicles. If it wants to expand in the future, it will invest in building factories around the world.

As for new models, we can be bolder in the next few years, enrich the company's models, enhance comprehensive competitiveness, and balance development risks at the same time.

After leaving Tiangong Automobile Group, Xia Yu went to the nearest Tiangong Electric Appliance Manufacturing Group.

This group is a full-scale home appliance manufacturing company, with a wide range of large and small home appliances.

The only difference from Tiangong Automobile Group is that the product research and development center of Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Group is located in the industrial park, and one-third of its production capacity is here.

The remaining two-thirds of the production capacity is in Pengcheng on the mainland.

I am quite satisfied with the development status of Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Group, but from the group's market, it can be seen that the main market is in Asia, and its competitiveness outside Asia is not strong.

Therefore, Xia Yu's instruction to Colin Hyster was to increase the pace of international expansion on the premise of further developing the Asian market, especially the mainland market.

The turnover of Tiangong Electrical Appliance Manufacturing Group last year was 15.424 billion Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to only 2.528 billion US dollars.

This business data is not in the top five in Asia, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

after.

Xia Yu went to Tiangong Machinery Group and Tiangong Electronics Group again.

Finally, we arrived at the Tiangong Science and Technology Laboratory.

"Hello chairman, hello Dong Huo."

"Dr. Lu, you've worked hard all these years."

"It's not hard work, and I didn't make much contribution to the group. I'm really ashamed."

Lu Chao's face was a little gloomy, and he lowered his head in remorse.

Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile.

"Dr. Lu, you didn't disappoint me. The laboratory has more than 2,000 patents, which is an outstanding achievement."

"Maybe, it's just that last year's losses were too big."

Lu Chao was in a better mood, but his face was still awkward.

In his view, the group has provided 3.758 billion Hong Kong dollars in research and development funds to Tiangong Technology Laboratory last year, and the 914 patents it has developed is still relatively small.

I am so sorry for the support of the group and the trust of the chairman.

"Dr. Lu, let's go, let's go inside."

Xia Yu didn't say much, patted his arm and walked inside.

"Dr. Lu, I have read the development report of the laboratory last year. The above content can be skipped directly today. I don't know much about the technical aspects. Today, you mainly tell me about two aspects."

"The first aspect is the whole situation of patent conversion."

"The second aspect is the difficulties the laboratory is currently encountering."

"OK."

"Chairman, because there are thirty-four laboratories in the whole laboratory, and I don't know all the information, why don't I call the heads of each laboratory and report to you in a meeting?"

Xia Yu paused, glanced at him, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, then go directly to the conference room."

ps: Regarding the chip, a layman like me has to check the information carefully. It was not easy to check the situation decades ago.
