Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

After settling in Rachel Morgan, Bao Zixuan drove towards the Heiyun production base in Kwun Tong, Kowloon. Flying from the United States is a time lag, even if you are flying on a private jet. And it has long been seen that Rachel Morgan is a little tired. This is related to the current airplane environment, and also has a lot to do with being too excited and unable to sleep.

Since the construction of Yulin Institute of Technology, Bao Zixuan has not been here for a long time. At this time, I saw that the Heiyun production base had completely changed. It can be said that the expansion work has never stopped. But everyone knows 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, it means expanding into commercial areas, and the cost will be so high that you will 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 opportunities and negotiations with Huaying. By that time, housing prices in Xiangjiang will plummet, and the impact will be that land prices in Xiangjiang plummet. At the same time, the real estate market will shrink severely in the next few years, and construction costs will also decrease accordingly. At that time it will be time to vigorously develop Tin Shui Wai, and this opportunity is getting closer and closer.

After arriving at the conference room of Heiyun Production Base, I saw that all the management staff had arrived. Today is the 1981 summary meeting. All senior executives of the group have come to Xiangjiang, including Hayao Miyazaki from Japan, John Chambers from the United States, and Hiroshi Hashimoto from Europe. They all also appeared at the Heiyun headquarters in Xiangjiang. It was supposed to be held long ago, but Bao Zixuan had been studying ground-effect aircraft, so the meeting was postponed until now.

After Bao Zixuan came in, he smiled and said to everyone, "I'm sorry for the delay."

At this time, everyone laughed. After looking at everyone's expressions, Bao Zixuan looked at the computer monitor in front of him and saw that there was nothing on his face! What happened to these managers today. Logically speaking, they are all mature and steady people, so they shouldn’t be like this!

John Chambers is more courageous and has the inherent American humor. He smiled and said: "The successor of the company is more important than anything else, and the boss has reached the age of getting married."

Bao Zixuan: "John, which one is this? They're not even close to each other."

Yokoi Junpei said with a smile: "Boss, the story about you hugging a beautiful woman has spread throughout Hong Kong, and it is estimated that the whole world will know about it before long. For many girls in the world, today is an unfortunate day, but for Heiyun, it is A new starting point for the company's sustainable development in the future proves that our company is about to usher in a successor."

Today's meeting has been decided for a long time. To be precise, the time has been determined after the ground effect aircraft successfully flew. But as luck would have it, Rachel Morgan flew to Hong Kong this morning, and Bao Shaofu, who still needed to borrow Rachel Morgan's identity, had no choice but to pick her up in person, thus delaying the meeting.

Bao Zixuan: "Okay, let's not talk about personal matters now. I have read the data submitted by each of your companies, and there are no outsiders here. You can introduce the results you have achieved to your colleagues, and make everyone happy."

It started with the animation company. Only Hayao Miyazaki, the general manager of the animation company, holds a small share of Heiyun Animation. The other management members are all pure professional managers. He can only enjoy management dividends, which means that although Hayao Miyazaki usually doesn't argue with everyone, everyone will give him face. Even Bao Zixuan would let him speak first in meetings to show respect.

Hayao Miyazaki: "Of course I won't let it go. At the same time, I would like to thank the president for giving me the first opportunity to report on my work."

"As of December 31, 1981, the animation company had 5,200 employees; a total of 139 comics and 43 cartoons were being continuously updated and serialized, and there were also some other supporting industries that cooperated with animation. In 1981, the company was operating Revenue reached US$1.288 billion and profit was US$330 million. The largest expense was animation staff wages, accounting for 35% of total sales.”

Everyone felt incredible when they heard this figure. 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, which allows children of interested relatives and friends to study related majors.

Bao Zixuan: "Very good. As long as the talent is there, it's worth spending more money. We can investigate the theme park project this year. I heard that Disney is planning to build a large amusement park in Tokyo. You can negotiate with them. Gong Man Company will do so in the next three years." All annual profits do not need to be handed over, but the group will not allocate funds for your construction of an amusement park."

Hayao Miyazaki: "Disney has contacted us and wants to use our animation characters to decorate Tokyo Disneyland. We are still negotiating."

Bao Zixuan: "Very good. I'm personally very optimistic about this project."

Bao Zixuan knows that in his previous life, Tokyo Disney was one of the few Disney parks in the world that made money. If you can win the project without spending your own money, or taking some shares is also a good choice.

Animation companies will not be his focus in the future. After all, this is an early money-making project without much technical content. Now that his mission has been completed, let the animation company develop freely. Moreover, Hayao Miyazaki himself is also a capable person, and he also has a childish heart; his passion 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 began to say: "Heiyun Motors now has three production bases, and a production base in Shanghai is under construction. It currently has 300,000 employees. If the construction of the Shanghai base is completed, The number of workers will exceed 400,000. Full-year sales in 1981 were US$18.9 billion, with a loss of US$1.2 billion.”

Many people didn't understand when they heard that sales were so high and losses were incurred. Fortunately, everyone was of high quality and did not interrupt at this time. They all wanted to hear what John Chambers had 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. The subsequent expansion project has been continuing, and the Shanghai factory has just started construction. These consume too much of the profits of automobile companies. If we maintain the current sales scale, we can avoid losses this year and achieve profits next year."

Everyone felt much better after hearing this. After all, the losses were not caused by poor sales and chaotic management. Investment in building and expanding factories is necessary. Once the construction is completed, the fruits will be harvested. It is understandable that the prerequisites are difficult.

Bao Zixuan: "If I want to build an automobile factory in the Middle East as quickly as possible, can the automobile company keep up with the talent echelon training?"

Hearing that the new and expanded factories are not enough, the boss actually wants to build a factory in the Middle East. What is going on? The security environment there is not very good.

John Chambers: "Talent training has been continuing, but the automobile company cannot come up with funds to support the project. There is also a war in the Middle East, which is not suitable for building factories and other production facilities at this time."

Bao Zixuan: "Don't worry about money, I will take care of it. Regarding the recruitment of management talents, we need to speed up the recruitment. We need to build the factory wherever we can as soon as possible, even if it slows down the progress of the Shanghai factory and the Brazilian factory. The second phase of the plan should also give priority to factory construction in the Middle East. After you go back, you will first come up with a feasibility report, and we will have a meeting to determine this time in a week."

Bao Zixuan had no way to explain to everyone at this time. After all, the products produced this time were war products. Also, this opportunity is fleeting and I dare not waste any time.

Moreover, the source of funds has been figured out, so let the big players in the Middle East provide it; shouldn’t we also provide some money to help them develop their industry?

Just when everyone still didn't quite understand, Bao Zixuan continued: "This factory will not be built in the name of Heiyun, but all equipment and technical support will be completed by us."

Bao Zixuan still doesn't have the guts to directly produce tanks and armored vehicles under the name Heiyun, even if you are the son-in-law of the Morgan family. Purchasing second-hand tanks and armored vehicles from the Soviet Union for modernization and modification is a business that can last for 5 years. When the situation stabilizes, other civilian vehicles can be produced in the Middle East. At that time, this factory will be authorized to produce Heiyun Automobile. Middle East market. You can't be too blatant at this time. 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 did not dare to say it clearly and did not know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. After the ground-effect aircraft, everyone discovered that the boss's ambitions were getting bigger and bigger, and he was no longer satisfied with just making some money.
