Soon, the news came out that Hongxin Company was discussing cooperation with Leiyu Home Appliances and wanted to invest in Leiyu Home Appliances and enter the field of smart home appliances.
Just a rumor has attracted the attention of many interested people.
"Hongxin is going to enter smart home appliances? Well, it's possible. Their company has indeed been making smart products."
"Leiyu Appliances? This company seems to be just so-so. Does Hongxin want to acquire them?"
"Hongxin Company has never been listed on the market, but Leiyu Home Appliances is a listed company. Hongxin Company has developed to this day, almost everything it does, and it is very powerful. It seems that this company has a future! It can be invested!" Capital In the market, some investors with keen sense of smell smelled the smell.
However, this news is just a rumor. Hongxin Company has not officially stated this matter, and this matter is only an intention and has not been implemented. But someone knew through connections that this matter was indeed being discussed.
Immediately, those investors took their sights on Leiyu Home Appliances’ stock. If I buy the stock of Leiyu Home Appliances now, if Hongxin really invests in this company, wouldn't it rise sharply in the future and take the opportunity to make a fortune
There are not a few people who have this idea.
When the stock exchange closed for the Spring Festival holiday for a few days, people suddenly discovered that the stock of Leiyu Home Appliances suddenly became a hot stock, with an astonishing increase.
And the shareholders of Leiyu Home Appliance Company found that the shares they held suddenly became valuable!
And all this is just because of a rumor released by Hongxin Company! If Hongxin really buys shares in them, the value of these stocks will skyrocket!
Even if they have to transfer part of their shares to Hongxin Company according to the acquisition agreement, the value of the remaining shares is far higher than before.
Now, these shareholders were all moved. Su Xu didn't even need to say it, everyone took the initiative to ask about it, and even wanted to promote it.
Nie Guanglin, who had been hesitant, also noticed everyone's wishes. If he objects, no one will agree.
Fortunately, he took advantage of the situation. The first meeting of Leiyu Company after the Spring Festival holiday was to discuss this matter.
There were few obstacles encountered, and everyone unanimously agreed to transfer part of the shares and let Hongxin take ownership of Leiyu Home Appliances Company.
Lu Zixin left all these matters to Su Zhirong.
After the agreement between the two parties was reached, Su Xu, Lu Zixin's father-in-law, naturally became the new CEO of Leiyu Home Appliances. The original Nie Guanglin served as the vice president, in charge of the traditional home appliance business.
The company's management also includes some former employees of the Hongxin Group. At the first meeting of the new company's management, Lu Zixin also attended.
There were more than 20 people present, most of whom were old employees of Leiyu Home Appliances. This was their first time meeting the leader of Hongxin Group, Lu Yan.
Everyone was a little surprised to see the legendary Lu Yan so young.
Lu Zixin briefly introduced himself and started talking about the company's key development issues.
"Many people should be confused as to why Hongxin acquired Leiyu Home Appliances? Did they take a fancy to the potential of this company?"
"No, it's not. To be honest, in the field of home appliances, the potential of Leiyu Home Appliances is not outstanding. The reason why Hongxin made this decision is that he saw a group of people with forward-looking vision in Leiyu Home Appliances. For example, the current CEO Mr. Su, There are also some employees.”
"Smart home is the general trend in the future! The future development direction of our Leiyu home appliances is smart home! Whether it is air conditioners, washing machines, TVs, microwave ovens and other home appliances, we must strive to be intelligent."
"It can even be made into a complete smart home system, allowing intelligence to serve life. Let Leiyu appliances become an internationally renowned brand!"
After hearing what he said, many people were still a little confused. Although some of them know about smart homes, they are still not very professional in this field.
The biggest problem of Leiyu Home Appliances is that it does not have its own research and development capabilities. Many of their core technologies come from authorized cooperation through other channels, and the research and development of a smart speaker has not yielded any results for two years.
"Do you have anything to say?" Lu Zixin asked, seeing that everyone was a little confused.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say. They all looked at Nie Guanglin, and Nie Guanglin asked on behalf of everyone: "Mr. Lu, what you said makes sense, but I have to ask based on the actual situation."
"Say." Lu Zixin said.
Nie Guanglin said: "Our company now has almost no core technology of its own. Just researching ordinary home appliances has already cost a lot. We have no extra money and technical strength to invest in research and development."
"You mentioned making Leiyu Home Appliances an internationally renowned brand, so I would like to mention Geli Electrical Appliances Co., Ltd."
Nie Guanglin said, looking at the data on his laptop.
"In the field of home appliances, they should be considered a domestic giant and have a certain reputation internationally."
"The data released by Geli Electric last year is that they have more than 10,000 scientific researchers; two national technology research centers, one national industrial design center, one provincial enterprise key laboratory; nine research institutes, five Twelve research institutes and more than 700 laboratories... In addition, they have the world's largest air conditioning R&D center and the only national energy-saving and environmentally friendly refrigeration equipment engineering technology research center in China's refrigeration industry."
"They invest more than 4 billion yuan in research and development a year! It is almost equal to the total market value of our Leiyu Home Appliances Company half a month ago!"
"Compared with them, our company's R&D strength is almost zero, and our R&D funds are also stretched. I think these ambitious goals are a bit too far."
His words basically represent the views of some old employees in the company. Although Hongxin's entry into Leiyu Company allowed them to make money on stocks, many people still hold conservative views on internal business philosophy.
Lu Zixin smiled and said: "It seems that everyone still doesn't know much about our Hongxin's strength. Let me tell you something practical."
“We are not doing smart home just for fun, but we are doing it with real skills.”
"This year, we plan to invest an additional 5 billion in funds, all of which will be used for research and development!"
Lu Zixin said five billion as soon as he opened his mouth, which shocked everyone. An additional investment of 5 billion will definitely dilute their shares to an even smaller size, but the actual value will increase.
"Is it really five billion?" Nie Guanglin asked in surprise.
"If five billion is not enough, you can continue to add additional funds." Lu Zixin said calmly. Anyway, in this way, the company will almost become his, and he will not feel bad about investing in research and development.
