Chapter 430 Conversation
Chapter 430 Conversation
Since it will take 72 days for Tianwen-2 to reach its destination, even if Kang Chi is very concerned about finding new elements, he can only put it aside for the time being.
After returning to Dongyang, Kang Chi first called Ming Yuhan over and asked about the situation of Dahan Silicon Industry.
After learning that Shencheng Silicon Industry had officially sent someone to take over Dahan Silicon Industry two days ago, Kang Chi suddenly asked her: “What do you think of the position of group general manager?”
Group general manager? After hearing this word, Ming Yuhan was obviously shocked.
Zhang Qing resigned, and the group changed its leader. Is it really coming?
The position of group general manager in Longteng Group is absolutely second to none, and Kang Chi rarely interferes with the specific operations of the group, so the internal power is amazing.
Not only does she have great power internally, but as Kang Chi’s “agent”, she is also very popular outside. She not only travels by special plane every time, but also the leaders from all over the country are very enthusiastic when discussing projects. A project that Zhang Qing casually finalizes may directly boost the economy of a county or even a city.
With such an attractive position, Zhang Qing actually said she would not do it?
However, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Although the scale of the group has been reduced a lot after a round of optimization, it is still a large group with more than 100,000 employees. Perhaps others can only see the glorious side of Zhang Qing, but as a senior manager who often contacts Zhang Qing, Ming Yuhan actually knows how much effort and hard work Zhang Qing has put in behind the rapid development of the group.
Anyway, every time Ming Yuhan looked for her, she would get a quick response, whether it was day or night. This kind of working state of being on call 24 hours a day, all year round, even Ming Yuhan, who felt that she was also very “competent”, felt ashamed…
The key is to encourage the work efficiency of the management. Once you enter the management of the group, there is no clear overtime pay. All overtime results will only be reflected in the performance appraisal of the year-end bonus.
If you work overtime every day, but your performance has not improved, you will not only not get the year-end bonus, but may be demoted.
If you just honestly complete the tasks assigned by your superiors, even if your performance does not meet the standards, you will get the year-end bonus, and the superiors will be the only ones to take the blame.
To be honest, if other companies did this, they would have failed long ago. But in Longteng Group, the situation is a little different.
Kang Chi leads the scientific research and Zhang Qing is in charge of management. As long as they cooperate well, the direction of technology and development is well planned, and the people below just lie down and don’t mess around, it will be a good thing for the group.
Therefore, if you don’t have the ability of a C but have a C heart, you will only get worse and worse in Longteng Group. The management system will educate you. If you don’t have enough strength, you should just play auxiliary.
In the group, anyone who dares to roll up their sleeves and is in a high position is basically a top talent.
Ming Yuhan pondered for a moment and gave a very objective answer: “I think the importance of the general manager of the group in company management is about the same as your importance in the company’s technology research and development.”
”As long as the people below work hard, it doesn’t matter if they are less capable, but your abilities must be strong, and both sides must cooperate well, otherwise the development speed of the group will definitely slow down.”
Kang Chi nodded and asked, “Do you think you are qualified for this position?”
”I…”
Hearing Kang Chi’s obvious hint, Ming Yuhan’s heart suddenly beat violently.
Who doesn’t want to get promoted and get a raise in the workplace? But thinking of the importance of the helmsman of the group, Ming Yuhan finally took a deep breath and replied: “Although I can barely manage a production enterprise like Dahan Silicon Industry through the training of these years, I still don’t think I am capable enough to manage such a large plate of the group, and I can’t keep up with your pace…”
”Well…”
Hearing Ming Yuhan’s answer, Kang Chi was somewhat surprised.
To be honest, he was obsessed with the laboratory all day and rarely cared about the company’s management. He also lacked understanding of Zhang Qing’s work content. He just felt that the company had enough money and people, so it should be easy to manage.
So Kang Chi made a test expression and asked, “What do you think is the difference between managing Dahan Silicon and the entire group?”
After Ming Yuhan pondered for a moment, he replied, “Dahan Silicon is a relatively stable company. As long as we follow the procedures, we can run normally.The company is operating, but the group as a whole is expanding madly and constantly expanding its territory. These two states bring completely different things and pressures to the management. ”
”You haven’t seen how General Manager Zhang racks her brains for the landing of new companies and new projects all day long. I guess she is so busy that she doesn’t even have time to put on a mask… I think the position of general manager of our group is really not something that ordinary people can do.”
”So exaggerated?” Kang Chi couldn’t help but wonder, “Doesn’t the group have an advisory group?”
”The advisory group is just an auxiliary. Isn’t it General Manager Zhang who makes the real decision? This is just like the emperor’s review of memorials in the past. Although she has absolute power and the “cabinet minister” has formulated a solution, she still has to think and weigh every decision she makes. If she makes a decision casually, it is very likely to mislead the country and the people. ”
”In fact, managing a group is essentially the same as managing a country. With the current scale of the group, Mr. Zhang may have more things to deal with than some small countries. There are too many documents to read and too many decisions to make every day…”
After listening to Ming Yuhan’s words, Kang Chi couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
All along, his requirement for the general manager of the group was that the management ability was acceptable, so that he could be a hands-off boss without worry.
But after Ming Yuhan said this, he realized that what he thought was “acceptable management ability” was actually low.
Perhaps when Zhang Qing first came, because the scale of the group was not large, Kang Chi didn’t ask for it. ,
But with the crazy expansion of the group, the requirements for managers will inevitably rise, which forces Zhang Qing to constantly improve herself, because if the speed of self-improvement is not fast enough, she may not be able to control this huge ship.
From the previous state of the group, Zhang Qing managed it pretty well. Although there was nothing particularly eye-catching in management, at least the group did not seem to have any major problems. This alone shows the efforts she made behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, Kang Chi suddenly felt a little distressed…
After a while, Kang Chi slowly said: “In your opinion, who else among the group’s senior executives is more suitable for this position?”
Ming Yuhan immediately shook his head: “I don’t know…”
”Do you really not know, or are you afraid of saying the wrong thing?”
”I think both…”
After a moment of silence, Ming Yuhan finally couldn’t help asking: “In fact, President Zhang is doing a good job. Why did you leave suddenly? Can’t you find a way to keep her? ”
Kang Chi’s expression stiffened slightly.
To be honest, he still regretted his hasty decision that day, but he couldn’t bring himself to withdraw the words he had already said and agreed to.
And since he knew that this position was so hard, it would be a bit too cruel to let him stay and continue to work…
After Ming Yuhan left, Kang Chi called Zhuoyue Wen, the CEO of Dahan Xinye.
This was the second person on Kang Chi’s shortlist.
He didn’t have much contact with Zhuoyue Wen, and he was not familiar with him. He only knew that he was a doctor who graduated from Harvard’s Department of Economics and Management, and the human resources department had spent a lot of effort to dig him over from OmniVision in the United States.
In the two years since he was appointed as the CEO of Dahan Xinye, his performance at the beginning could only be described as ordinary.
But as he adapted to the environment and the company, the report card he gave last year was the most eye-catching in the entire group, with a profit increase of nearly thirty times, which jumped to become the most profitable company in the group except for The most profitable enterprise besides his own son, Datang Heavy Industry.
The reason for such a large increase in performance is mainly due to his strong ability to expand overseas business. He almost single-handedly developed Dahan Xinye into the world’s second largest CMOS image sensor supplier. The market share of coms sensor application fields such as consumer electronics, security monitoring, automobiles, intelligent transportation, machine vision, scientific instruments, and professional imaging has surpassed Omni and Samsung in all aspects. The reason why he failed to surpass Soni to become the first is that the group was on the selection list and some places could not be sold.
With the M country about to abandon the YT strategy and the long-arm jurisdiction about to end, a larger market is still waiting for him.
In addition, Dahan Xinye’s PC-side CPU and GPU business is also developing rapidly, but because the output has not yet been fully increased and the domestic market is not saturated, it is not yet time to expand overseas. Not to mention the quantum chip business, it is unique and cannot be sold for the time being.In general, Zhuoyue Wen’s ability is quite in line with the group’s future overseas strategic needs.
When he heard that Kang Chi wanted to talk to him, Zhuoyue Wen immediately canceled all his schedules and rushed to Dongyang to meet Kang Chi that afternoon.
The two first talked about the situation of Dahan Xinye, and then Kang Chi suddenly asked him: “What do you think and suggest about the group’s overall development strategy?”
Big development strategy?
Zhuoyue Wen was slightly stunned, and after sorting out his thoughts, he quickly replied: “You have given our group an absolute advantage in technology in various business fields. For a technology group, this is basically invincible. The difference between a good development strategy and a bad one is only the speed of development. Therefore, the pressure of strategy formulation has never been great.”
”As for suggestions, in fact, if you didn’t ask, I have always wanted to mention it. Don’t you think that as a high-tech group, we are still too conservative in using finance to accelerate development?”
As expected, he has studied economics, and his eyes are always on finance.
In fact, Kang Chi himself is also aware of the conservative financing methods of the group.
For a long time, he has relied on the means of seeking state loans for development financing, and the state has basically responded to all requests, so there is no problem of funds for development.
However, as the number of national science and technology infrastructure projects increases, Kang Chi’s projects are getting bigger and bigger. This method alone is not enough. Kang Chi chose to optimize some companies some time ago for this reason.
In fact, in addition to optimizing assets, there are many other ways to raise funds. The simplest one is to go public directly and raise funds through the stock market.
But to be honest, Kang Chi had a very bad impression of the stock market.
The listing of companies was originally a good thing to raise funds from the public for development, and then give back to investors.
The result has evolved into a financial game of speculation and profiteering, where the big fish eat the small fish.
This environment has led to the fact that truly high-quality companies with good operating conditions will not be too obsessed with listing.
On the contrary, those companies that are clamoring to go public and ring the bell every day are mostly bad companies that sell feelings and concepts.
The purpose of their listing is to cash out at a high position, cut the leeks of ordinary shareholders, and thus realize the financial game of doubling assets.
Financial institutions have played a role in fueling the flames, and even “strategizing and controlling the overall situation”, and followed the role of harvesting leeks.
Anyway, for ordinary shareholders and companies that are developing steadily, the stock market is a pit.
Kang Chi and Zhang Qing had discussed this issue before, and Zhang Qing agreed with Kang Chi’s decision not to go public. When the group is not under much pressure to raise funds, the purpose of going public is to do “charity” so that more ordinary people can benefit from the group’s development. However, if it really goes public, only those large institutions and capital will benefit, and the purpose of profit sharing will not be achieved. At the same time, in order to fight against those capitals that manipulate stock prices, a lot of energy will be wasted, and there is no reason to go public at all. “I just don’t understand. We know the stock market is a trap, and we hear only examples of people losing money. Why do so many people keep investing in it…”
”It’s very simple. Just look at how lively the casinos in Olympic are. To put it nicely, people in the stock market are just stockholders. To put it bluntly, they are just gamblers who think they can win. The more they buy, the more they gamble.” Zhang Qing made a sharp analysis at the time, “And the greedy nature of people means that the gambling market will never be deserted or declining. Besides, investment is gambling in the first place. You can’t stop people from investing.”
Kang Chi smiled and replied, “That’s true. When you invested in me, you also had a strong gambling nature. It was instinctive.”
And then there was nothing else…
Retracting his thoughts, Kang Chi slowly raised his head and looked at Zhuo Yuewen.
“Do you think our financing methods should be more aggressive?”
”If the group still wants to develop rapidly, I think it is necessary to continue to expand the scale of financing.”
”Tell me more about it.”
”I know that you and Mr. Zhang are both reluctant to go public, so I won’t talk about the methods of going public. I don’t know if you have heard of corporate bonds?”
”I haven’t heard of it, but it sounds like it should be similar to national bonds.”
”Yes, I think we can apply to issue corporate bonds, borrow money directly from ordinary investors, and pay them fixed interest. With the strength of our group, this is definitely a stable win-win model, which will allow us to develop without worrying about funds, and also allow more ordinary investors to enjoy the dividends of our development.”
”It sounds”It’s good.” Kang Chi nodded, “Then what do you think is a suitable interest rate?”
“2%-5%, it depends on how much profit you want to give to investors.”
”Well…but this maximum is 5%, what’s the argument? After all, our current general direction is to reduce interest rates, and the United States has raised interest rates for so long, and it’s only more than 5 points, and it will soon be reduced.”
”It is because the United States wants to reduce interest rates that we want a higher point, not only domestic funds, but we also want to attract as much global funds as possible.” Zhuoyue Wen analyzed carefully, “Although this will also allow foreign capital to eat our dividends, corporate bonds have a stable profit rate after all. As long as we can make more money with their money, it is completely acceptable. ”
”As for the continuous interest rate cuts in the general direction, it is entirely to prevent Old M from bursting our financial bubble. We chose to actively break and digest it. At present, it is estimated that it will take some time to consolidate the results and heal the wounds. However, the country cannot raise interest rates significantly in a short period of time, which does not mean that our corporate bonds cannot. As the saying goes, as long as we have enough strength to make more money with money, there will be no bubbles and financial risks. ”
Kang Chi pondered for a moment before nodding and said, “I will consider it. If you have nothing to do, just do your own thing.”
Although he actually prepared several plans, when he heard that Kang Chi had already ordered him to leave, Zhuoyue Wen naturally couldn’t say anything.
As for the purpose of Kang Chi’s sudden conversation with him today, he actually vaguely guessed that this might be an assessment of him.
After Zhuoyue Wen left, Kang Chi thought about it for a long time alone, and finally couldn’t help picking up the phone, finding Zhang Qing’s name and dialing it.
