On January 20, 1984, all the presidents of Zhao Yi's mainland region came to Prince Gong's Mansion, while only Lin Hexia, the president of Umbrella Holdings, came from other regions.
The Hong Kong Telecommunications Corporation, Hong Kong Time Cinemas Corporation, Hong Kong Housing Corporation, and Asia Television, which are affiliated to the Umbrella Holdings Company, will no longer need to come here to hold annual meetings. Their reporting work will be completed by the president of the Umbrella Holdings Company.
Sunflower Investment Company, which is highly valued by Zhao Yi, has just acquired HSBC and is currently busy with privatization and delisting. At the same time, it also needs to rectify the internal work of HSBC, so Zhao Yi did not ask Peter to come over to start the new year. Yes, you can call me if you need anything.
Tianwen University is not considered an enterprise. Although Zhao Yi is the only investor and shareholder, due to the nature of the university, it is not suitable to participate in this kind of corporate annual meeting.
After Zhao Yi handed over Tianwen University to President Jiang, he rarely went to Tianwen University in person and communicated everything on the phone.
As for what problems Tianwen University has, Zhao Yi is not too worried, because he can know all aspects of the school at any time through Zhou Ling. At present, the work done by Principal Jiang Ping is very satisfactory to him. If it is not necessary, he will not easily interfere with Tianwen University. Ask about the internal affairs of the university.
Nowadays, students at Tianwen University are only in the first semester of their junior year at most. Undergraduate education is relatively simple. Students still focus on learning basic knowledge, and there is very little research and development work involved.
Therefore, there are very few patents issued by students, and there is not much interest involved. However, at the graduate and doctoral level, it is estimated that the number of patent applications from Tianwen University students will increase a lot.
This is Zhao Yi's confidence in the teaching materials he wrote, as well as his confidence in the school's laboratory equipment and the strength of the teaching team. When the school was first established, Zhao Yi customized a set of industry-university-research supporting measures in view of the prospect of commercialization of the invention patents of the school students, but they did not have much financial difficulties.
Although this set of measures has not yet been used on students, it has been cooperated with some school teachers to establish relevant school enterprises. According to the wishes of the inventor, it can be either to sell the patent to earn a fee or to use it as a technology investment. Of course, It can also be exclusively licensed to schools and enterprises and charge patent fees.
Due to the strong financial strength of Tianwen University, a small part of the 10 billion US dollars invested by Zhao Yi has been used now. Even if the school waives tuition and miscellaneous fees, it will not consume much funds.
The remaining funds need to be used by the school to establish school enterprises, which can make money make money, so that Zhao Yi does not need to continuously invest funds.
You must know that although Tianwen University was founded by Zhao Yi, it is not a for-profit institution. In other words, if Zhao Yi invests, there is no difference between funds and donations.
In the later period, he did not even think about recouping the capital. He could not use the profits generated by the school for his own use. They were the property of the school.
If a school of this nature cannot achieve sustained hematopoiesis, it will be difficult to operate in the end. Zhao Yi can provide funding in the early stage, but this is not a sustainable method, and there is no need to think about relying on donations from the public. The country is so Many universities are waiting for donations, but it is not Tianwen University’s turn.
This highlighted the importance of enterprises run by Tianwen University. Zhao Yi also discussed this issue in detail with President Jiang and reached a consensus with President Jiang.
If the school-run enterprises of Tianwen University can prosper and generate enough profits to support Tianwen University every year, then Tianwen University will establish branch schools in other places.
After all, Tianwen University is not a purely commercial institution. Their purpose is to teach and educate people and cultivate talents for the country. If they have enough funds, they are of course willing to train more talents.
Of course, Zhao Yi will not let go. After all, he founded this school by himself, so he still retains the title of school chairman in the school, while principal Jiang Ping is the managing director of the school board and is responsible for the daily work of the school.
The reason why he retained this position was because he was afraid that if Tianwen University went off track in the future, he would have a reason to intervene and correct some bad phenomena.
Founding a university is not his purpose. His purpose is to found a university that is useful to the country and society. If some bad trends of thought appear in the school, then he needs to use his authority. However, he can easily use this authority and ability. No, professors run the school as the basic idea, and external forces should try not to interfere.
So those who came to attend the meeting at the end of 1983 were Zhao Yi’s 31 mainland companies and the umbrella holding company headquartered in Hong Kong. Many companies were established at the end of 1983, such as Huaxia International Petrochemical Company, Tianji Dairy Company, and Baiwei Food Company. , they are still in the start-up stage of their business and have no impressive results.
Of course, there are also companies that have been established for a long time but have achieved great results, such as Haoweier Catering Company, which is an investment company in the catering industry, but its current performance is not good.
Because the trading company's comprehensive shopping mall has just completed the main construction and the internal decoration has not yet been completed, there will be no merchants moving in.
The purpose of Haoweier Catering Company is to solve the problem that there are not enough catering merchants to enter the comprehensive shopping mall. Although the current performance is good, Haoweier Catering Company does not have no results at all, otherwise Zhao Yi will definitely fire their president. Li Jianyang.
Due to practical constraints, Li Jianyang was unable to come up with a large investment plan immediately, but he still did a good job in the preliminary preparations. He traveled to major gourmet regions across the country, visited many well-known cuisine successors, and established various relationships with them. Small relationship.
Relying on this personal relationship, Haoweier Catering Company has a certain influence in the domestic catering industry. At the same time, it has also cooperated with some bold and well-known chefs. After the trading company's comprehensive shopping mall is completed, they will jointly create a catering brand company. Help them start a business.
Of course, by then, Haoweier Catering Company will definitely hold the majority of the shares, but it will not participate in daily management. Unless major problems arise, Haoweier Dining Chair Company will intervene.
There is no shortage of people in the country who have skills but are stuck with insufficient funds, not only in the catering industry, but also in other industries, such as the furniture industry, decoration industry, etc. This is why Zhao Yi has not yet made a layout in this area. Catering The industry was originally forced by practical needs.
However, after HSBC straightens out its internal relationships and the privatization is successful, Zhao Yi will second some people to form a financial group in the mainland.
Domestic investment is an important business for them. They have money but don’t have that much energy. They use investment to help domestic entrepreneurs and at the same time they can also gain considerable benefits.
This annual meeting will still adopt the format of the last meeting, which will help the leaders of their first-level companies to understand the layout of other industries under Zhao Yi, and will help strengthen their future cooperation.
Just like the production lines jointly developed by precision instrument companies and machinery companies, like the cooperation between Polaris Company and semiconductor companies, confidential instrument companies, etc.
This kind of cooperative relationship has the effect of 1+12, and it can also discover new business opportunities from the needs of brother companies and find new sources of profits. Since many companies are giant companies in the world, strong joint research and development Products tend to be more internationally competitive.
As in previous years, first the presidents of each company introduced the company's development situation in the previous year to Zhao Yi, and at the same time, they also showed their faces in front of the presidents of the brother companies.
Of course, if the performance is good, the reputation will be sufficient. If the development is unsatisfactory or even goes backwards, then only they themselves will know the feeling. This is also an invisible competition.
The companies that have been reviewed in the previous chapters will not be introduced in detail here. The task of Yaoguang Environmental Management Company in 1983 was to manage the Badain Jaran Desert. This desert is next door to the Tengger Desert, with a total area larger than the Tengger Desert. The desert is a little larger, with annual rainfall of less than 40 mm, but it also has more than 100 lakes and wetlands.
Now that the transformation of the Tengger Desert has been completed, it has become the Tengger Ranch, which has changed the climate of the Badain Jaran Desert. The annual precipitation is much higher than before, reaching 100 mm, which is 1.5 times more.
However, the terrain of this desert is uneven and there are many sand dunes. The world's largest sand dunes come from this desert. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as towering into the clouds.
It is precisely because of such landform characteristics that Zhao did not think about agriculture and animal husbandry as soon as he managed the desert, so he simply planted trees after the treatment and cultivated it into a forest farm. After the forest farm was formed, he built a paper mill and a wood processing plant. Carry out forestry resource extraction in a planned manner.
Although the economic benefits of this cannot be compared with the Mu Us Ranch, and the social value cannot be compared with the Tengger Ranch, it has become the Tengger Ranch and Mu Us Ranch along with the Ulan Bhe Desert and Kubuqi Desert that are about to be transformed. The forestry belt in the northern part of the pasture has completely transformed the two pastures into the south of the Yangtze River. The temperature is rising, and hot and cold convection weather is easy to form here, and rainfall will increase significantly.
In the past, operating income from the Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company was able to be obtained from the management of the Mu Us Desert and the Tengger Desert. However, the Badain Jaran Desert currently being transformed and the Ulan Buh Desert and Kubuqi Desert that are about to be transformed are not agricultural projects. Owned by Animal Husbandry Company.
The funds for renting desert land and renovation came from Zhao Yi, so there was no turnover, and the profits made before were still subsidizing current wages.
The Lucky Light Environmental Management Company is considered to be "the worse it gets the worse it gets," but Zhao Yi doesn't ask them to achieve any performance. As long as they transform the relevant deserts step by step, then they will have merit.
Due to their special nature, other companies do not look down upon them. Depending on how rich their boss is, some companies with good profits may not be as important as this company.
Since the Badain Jaran Desert, Ulan Buh Desert, and Kubuqi Desert all need to be transformed for afforestation, the transformation time will be much longer than that of the Tengger Desert and Mu Us Desert. The entire plan is expected to take about 10 years. , after all, trees need to be planted one by one, rather than directly using agricultural aircraft to sow grass seeds like in pastures.
And they also use different management methods. The three deserts that were transformed into forest farms were transformed from the edges bit by bit, and trees were planted while transforming. The manpower and material resources used were much greater.
In the Badain Jaran Desert, which is currently being renovated, Yaoguang Environmental Management Company has recruited 200,000 temporary employees. The number of regular employees has not increased much. After all, after the desert is renovated, they will not have so many employees.
If the desert transformation is completed by then, these temporary employees may be allowed to join the forest farm company and manage these forest farms, which will give them a stable job. (End of chapter)
