Life is always full of twists and turns. Cheng Ran had no idea that because he saved Xie Houming, he would establish a bond with Xie Houming's family. Now, Xie Houming is about to be promoted to the helm of a giant state-owned enterprise group. It seems that he is riding the wind and waves and setting sail for the cloud.
However, this is actually a mess, and it is destined not to be an easy task. First of all, such a place at the forefront of the storm is prone to disputes. For example, the current chairman of the Provincial Investment Group was caught in a vortex of corruption last year. Xie Houming's succession may mean that the final punishment for him is about to be issued. The Lifeline Group cannot be without a leader for a day, so Xie Houming took charge.
Of course, before this position was settled, there must have been many competitors who had gone through a lot of disputes and struggles. With the changes in society, knowledgeable and capable cadres have great prospects in the future, and being able to lead the Provincial Investment Group is a golden qualification for moving to a higher position in the future. Cheng Ran didn't know how Xie Houming defeated his competitors one by one and finally got the position, but he knew that there must have been a higher level of trade-offs and games. Of course, Xie Houming's own experience in Shanhai and even the June 2 kidnapping case gave Xie Houming an excellent background for his speech.
But it also means that Xie Houming has officially stepped into that level of height, and is in the midst of smoke that is no less intense than the flames of war, even though there is no evidence of war.
What kind of changes will happen to this southwestern region and that city in the future
Xie Houming also has some expectations for the future which is full of opportunities and challenges. At the dinner table, Xie Houming, Cheng Feiyang and Xie Qian got drunk and the atmosphere became quite heated. They kept recalling those passionate years when they just started working, served in the army, became educated youth, or left their hometowns to work hard.
Looking back, half of my life has already passed.
There were smooth, bizarre and ups and downs... In the end, these three middle-aged people with different careers and situations, Xie Houming became the CEO of a state-owned enterprise, Xie Qian took the lead in the Internet, and Cheng Feiyang took the route of a technology-based private enterprise. They are like three ships, each in its own section, heading towards the huge waves.
Cheng Ran, who witnessed all this and knew that it was all because of him, had a closely related and strange sense of accomplishment.
…
After dinner at Xie Houming's house, Xie Qian took the plane to Beijing the next day with the new ideas he discussed with Cheng Ran. Cheng Feiyang seemed to have more confidence in the next plan to enter Rongcheng. But entering Rongcheng is not just talk.
The fact that Betuo and some established companies do not attach importance to the secondary markets of second- and third-tier cities in the province, such as Shanhai, does not mean that they do not attach importance to Chengdu, a strategic location in the southwest. You should know that the market of Chengdu alone is larger than the sum of other regions in the province. Fulong is developing rapidly in second- and third-tier cities, but if it does not take over Chengdu, the Fulong brand will not be able to establish its brand effect and enter the mainstream to compete with established companies.
Cheng Ran had noticed his father's anxiety in recent times.
At this time, he thought of the scholar who was talking in the conference room when he delivered the key to Cheng Feiyang that day. Later, he learned that the man was called Gu Chengxi. Most of the people in Fulong were passing on his information. This was no secret. He was a professor at Nanjing University and had published some books on the rise and fall of private enterprises. But when he refuted his point of view on the stage that day, the senior executives of Fulong raised their hands in approval. Cheng Ran was not sure whether it would make him feel bad.
After talking to Cheng Feiyang about this, Cheng Feiyang decided to ask Gu Chengxi to come to his office for a detailed discussion.
Before Gu Chengxi was notified to go to Cheng Feiyang's office, he was still a little hesitant, and finally held the idea of a knife in the neck. You know, at the high-level meeting not long ago, because of Cheng Ran's appearance, Gu Chengxi expressed strong dissatisfaction with Tian Feng. Because he couldn't command people, the elders of Fulong didn't buy his idea at all. Gu Chengxi had the idea of leaving at that time, and he wanted to pass it on to Cheng Feiyang through Tian Feng in disguise.
After being informed by Cheng Feiyang, Gu Chengxi actually felt a little regretful, but he was fighting for his dignity. If Cheng Feiyang really had no intention of retaining him, he would still bite the bullet and be the first to ask for resignation.
After knocking on the office door, Gu Chengxi was stunned for a moment. Not only was Cheng Feiyang in the room, but Cheng Ran was also standing next to him.
What's going on
The first thing that came to Gu Chengxi’s mind was his so-called nepotism and arbitrary rule against the family business, and his statement that they were all family servants. Now the father and son were looking for him to settle the score
He was so conflicted in his heart. After hearing Cheng Ran's earliest outline of the Fulong Basic Law, his original idea of leaving faded away. Now when he saw Cheng Ran again, his mind was full of confusion.
Cheng Feiyang, on the other hand, was not surprised at all. After letting Cheng Ran greet him, Gu Chengxi, as an elder, Cheng Feiyang got straight to the point, "Old Gu, I asked you to come here this time because I think some of the things you proposed at the meeting that day were very valuable. But the basic strategy we have set to continue investing in technology remains unchanged."
Gu Chengxi said, "What about funds? The most important thing is funds. Without funds, it's like building a castle in the air. The foundation is unstable. No matter how loud the slogans are, it will eventually collapse."
"That's right, Cheng Ran has some ideas and plans, let me discuss them with you..."
Gu Chengxi looked at this young man who he could no longer judge with common sense. He caught the key words in Cheng Feiyang's words. It was not that Cheng Feiyang had some ideas and asked Cheng Ran to tell him. Rather, Cheng Ran had some ideas and wanted to mention them to him.
But no matter how he mentioned it, Gu Chengxi didn't think they had the ability to solve the capital chain problem that had been plaguing private enterprises. Even if you were Monkey King with 72 transformations, you couldn't get over this Five Finger Mountain without a way.
Gu Chengxi had seen many heroes in the private sector, but in the end they either failed on this path or were restricted by it and were unable to truly grow.
"Oh." So Gu Chengxi's enthusiasm cooled down a bit, and he looked at Cheng Ran with a stern face. It was like a person who was an expert in the field, listening to a primary school student who had just started talking. It was probably like this.
But Cheng Ran's first words were to draw his sword with all his might.
"Funding is indeed the biggest bottleneck in our development, but it is not unsolvable. The amount of funds required for Fulong's development is huge, and we can solve the problem of blood transfusion in several ways."
Well, there are a few more aspects.
Gu Chengxi tried to hold back his laughter, but his facial muscles twitched uncontrollably. He tried to look at Cheng Ran seriously, "In a few aspects... Hey, tell me about it."
"First, according to future financing plans, we will offer 10 percent of our equity as a channel for external capital inflows."
The first move was quite standard. Gu Chengxi nodded. It was quite formal and his words were meaningful.
As a result, the second point raised by Cheng Ran almost made Gu Chengxi stumble. "Secondly, take out another part and let employees buy shares. Employees can take out interest-free loans, subscribe with bonuses, or even use their savings and funds to buy... This will greatly reduce the financial pressure on the books. It can also greatly enhance employees' sense of belonging to the company and even form a community of interests..."
Gu Chengxi felt that this move was already too much for him to handle.
All the private companies he had come into contact with regarded equity as their lifeblood, and would be stingy with it as if it was their life. But now... the father and son in front of him could form a community of interests with their employees for the growth and development of the company...
However, Gu Chengxi's mind was already in turmoil. He felt that his previous experience and the examples in the textbooks were no longer applicable, but there were some new and strange things integrating and fermenting...
His eyes lit up and said, "Yes, it's possible!"
Cheng Ran didn't finish his words, "Third, we should start the business of transferring accounts receivable. The collection of our business funds has always been a problem. If we transfer the accounts receivable to banks and financial institutions, these financial institutions will earn commissions. We only pay a small part of the profit, but we can get the payment in advance from these financial institutions and have a large amount of cash flow!"
Gu Chengxi's chest was already beating fast... This kind of business is still in the experimental stage in China. He has heard about it, but it has not been carried out on a large scale. You know, since the reform and opening up, many places are still crossing the river by feeling the stones... This young man has actually thought of this step in advance, and it is still possible!
"The last and most important point is, can you take the lead in Fulong? We can go to Chengdu, and even to Guangzhou, Beijing, and Zhonghai in the future... to set up branches, technical centers... in short, many branches, and these companies will allow our customers to join and let them hold shares. Since we can let employees hold shares to form a community of interests, we can also pull customers into our branches and let the employees and leaders of the postal and telecommunications departments become our shareholders. In this way, our interests are their interests, and we will have a common enemy. Secondly, it also solves the biggest problem of payment collection. Because if you pay us back, in fact... it is also a bonus for them..."
Gu Chengxi's head buzzed.
He looked at the boy in disbelief.
This last move... is really too cruel.
If we follow this strategy and attack Chengdu, how can the Chengdu branches of Beto, Aisin, and Alcatel, which are in dire straits, be our opponents!
This sword is enough to destroy the city.
It was the city of Chengdu that was destroyed.
