Chapter 487: Aviation services business mergers

After chatting with Yao Ziliang about their naval equipment manufacturing situation, the meeting was basically over. The current naval equipment is being carried out in an orderly manner. According to the plan, by the end of this month, 50,000 gross tonnage warships will be launched into the water for trial sea trials.

The first batch of warships are of a testing nature, and only one of each type is built. After the military tests pass and use suggestions are submitted, they will enter the mass production stage.

As for the issue of domestically produced aircraft carriers, Huaxia Military Industrial Company has completed the theoretical construction and verification design of related parts, but if it wants to manufacture it, it will not start until other ships needed around the aircraft carrier are produced.

According to Zhao Yi's consistent approach, naval military equipment is produced according to the highest technical level currently available, rather than depending on how others do it.

Because the price of advanced naval ships is very expensive, the replacement cost is very high. If the design is not advanced enough at the beginning, it will be a serious waste of our country's military expenditure.

Therefore, based on this concept, the first aircraft carrier launched by China Military Industrial Company is nuclear powered, electromagnetic catapult, with a tonnage of 100,000 tons, artificial intelligence is added, and a plan for adapting ship-borne drones is reserved.

In fact, it is not only the future aircraft carrier technology that meets the highest standards, but also the supporting ships they are currently launching or under construction. They are also the culmination of the technology of today's Huaxia Military Industrial Company, and the level of technological advancement far exceeds the world level.

According to Zhao Yi, the ships built must be at least ten years ahead of other advanced countries, and have sufficient combat effectiveness and deterrence for more than 20 years.

However, what matches their advanced level is that their prices are also very expensive, but in terms of cost performance, Zhao Yi feels that they are well worth the money. If 6 to 8 aircraft carrier battle groups are really built, the naval combat power will definitely be World number one.

Next is Hualong Clothing Company and Huansha Textile Company. Both companies are within the scope of normal operations. Hualong Clothing Company, in particular, is too large. It is also very difficult to go further.

Although they have increased their global market share through some methods, such results are less exciting than before.

The current strategy of Hualong Clothing Company is to continue to consolidate the current business, while working hard to build high-end luxury brands, and strive to achieve the same global overall share data in the field of high-end luxury brands.

To be honest, high-end luxury brands are actually a bit ridiculous. Things that cost a few yuan can be sold for thousands of yuan after adding the brand. The profit in this can be imagined.

Although the reputation of Hualong Clothing Company is already known to the whole world, its control over the luxury brand market is much less than that of other businesses.

Because the management of luxury brands has little to do with design, technology, high-end raw materials, management, etc., but has a lot to do with marketing and gimmicks, and European companies occupy an advantageous position in this regard.

Anyway, luxury goods companies only need to invite the royal families of various countries to support them, and they can sell products that are not cost-effective at sky-high prices. Anyway, what people buy these products is not the product itself, but the vanity attached to the product.

In terms of resources in this area, Hualong Clothing Company is much inferior, otherwise it would not launch the previously mentioned 10 million pieces of unique clothing in order to establish its high-end luxury brand design and manufacturing capabilities.

It is because they know that they cannot compete with European brands in this regard, so they can only make breakthroughs in the high-tech field and achieve their goals by designing and manufacturing unique products.

In this way, the marketing advertisements made by oneself spread all over the world, and the clothing is indeed unique. Others cannot imitate it because they cannot find the same materials, and they are also targeting high-end female customers.

Although Hualong Clothing Company has not yet achieved absolute control in the field of high-end luxury brands, it is all a matter of time because they are rich enough.

Just like they did before, they acquired a large number of luxury brands. Although these luxury brands were relatively lonely at the time, after some operations, the momentum has improved.

As long as the luxury brands in hand are managed well and crowd out the market of other luxury brands, it will naturally cause other luxury brands to become lonely, and it will not be too late to buy them at a low price.

Although luxury brand clothing has high profits, the market size is also much smaller. Even if it does nothing in the field of luxury brands, it will actually have little impact on Hualong Clothing Company.

It's just that in order to completely establish its dominance in the global apparel field, Hualong Apparel Company has to go in this direction and build its own moat to avoid being backhandedly hit by others in its own market area in the future.

According to Zi Yanran, as long as there are other brand clothing companies operating well, they are potential threats to Hualong Garment Company. They will either need to face competition from Hualong Garment Company or be acquired by them.

Although Zhao Yiyi disagrees with Zi Yanran's statement, because the clothing industry is not high-tech, and there are no technical patents to get stuck, it is too easy to change the brand management.

However, according to the brand acquisition strategy, it is not impossible at all, because it is very difficult to operate a brand and do it.

Zhao Yi then asked about the preparations related to the design and development of my country's ethnic costumes. According to Zi Yanran, it is currently being steadily advanced.

On the one hand, almost all national costume design masters in the country need to participate to provide rich and diverse national costume design elements. Hualong clothing companies are willing to spend high prices to purchase their design patents.

On the other hand, it is to publicize and build momentum for this. This is to pave the way for what will happen later, making everyone feel that Hualong Clothing Company just happened to meet the occasion. When the time comes, relying on the status of Hualong Clothing Company, it will be natural to preside over this matter. .

Compared with Hualong Clothing Company, Huansha Textile Company has made much greater progress. Now they are no longer satisfied with providing raw materials for Hualong Clothing Company and have begun to attack in all directions.

After active operations in the past year, they have achieved good results in the home textile industry. The overall market share has reached 40%, and it is still on the rise.

It's just that this market is not very big in general. Even if it occupies a huge market share, it will not have much improvement on the overall revenue of Huansha Textile Company.

However, this momentum is commendable to Zhao Yi. It is much better than before. What he wants is the enterprising heart. As long as there is an enterprising heart, the future is always bright.

For example, they are also aware of this problem. In addition to continuing to operate in depth in the field of home textiles in the future, they also plan to vigorously develop the engineered textiles and special textile markets.

Before, they were still in a chaotic period of new business expansion, but now after listening to Jinshajiang's report, Zhao Yi felt that they were much more organized.

According to Jinshajiang's strategy, once Huansha Textile Enterprises enters a textile industry, it must work hard and never give up until it occupies more than 60% of the overall market share.

There is no problem with the technical strength of Huansha Textile Company, and it is also supported by Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company and Qingnong Biological Laboratory. It is an exclusive supplier of high-end textile materials and has unique advantages.

Relying on their superior position in high-end textile materials and technology, they occupy an absolute share in the high-end field of the 40% home textile market, but in the low-end market, they have little success.

This is also in line with the general market management strategy. If you have no capital or technology, of course you will operate from low to high. If you have an absolute advantage, you must operate from high to bottom.

Zhao Yi also asked in detail about the development of their decorative textile industry. Because other textiles belong to the daily life category, it is very difficult to rapidly expand this market.

But decorative textiles are different. As long as the product can impress people's hearts, it is very easy to expand the market. And this expansion does not only mean to squeeze out other people's markets, but to expand the overall market size.

Zhao Yi believes that Huansha Textile Company has unique technical advantages in this area. The reason why the market was not large before was mainly because the price of decorative textiles produced by traditional handicrafts was too high, and ordinary people could not afford them.

Huansha Textile Company relies on its technological advantages and the use of advanced mechanical equipment and intelligent systems to produce decorative textile products through machines that are not very different from manual manufacturing.

Although it is not as delicate as handmade products, with the efficiency of the machine, the price can be made affordable to ordinary people, and the market has suddenly expanded countless times.

Next, Zhao Yi held relevant meetings with the heads of Feifei Airlines, Qingyang Airport Group and Chenghui Aircraft Leasing Company. Since the businesses of these companies are relatively single, among the first-level companies under Zhao Yi, the scale and revenue It's relatively small.

In fact, Zhao Yi intends to merge these companies into a group company, making this company a group company integrating air transportation, ground services and aircraft leasing.

However, after the merger, the leaders of the other two companies will inevitably be downgraded, and their remuneration will definitely be reduced. Even if there is no reduction, there will definitely be a psychological gap.

Don't underestimate the importance of honor to these people. Even the reduction of specific benefits is nothing to them. Anyway, no matter how small it is, it will not have much impact on their lives. On the contrary, the reduction of status will have a greater impact on them. Much bigger.

The most typical example is that if you are a second-tier company, you are not qualified to participate in such an annual gathering every year. Both your connections and resources will be reduced. When you face these people in the future, your status will also be lowered by one level, which will definitely make you feel uncomfortable. .

Zhao Yi will not easily touch senior managers who work hard and make no mistakes. This is not only a need to calm people's hearts, but also a reward for those who work conscientiously.

After the three companies finished their reports, Zhao Yi pondered for a moment and said: "The businesses of your three companies are related, but their businesses are relatively single. I intend to merge your three companies into one company.

Over the years, you have all worked hard in your respective positions. I can see all this. This adjustment is just a business need to facilitate the integration of resources, connect various services more perfectly, and at the same time reduce costs.

As we all know, although aviation operations look high-end, the profit margin is actually very low. Cost reduction is always an issue that needs to be discussed in the air transportation industry.

So now I give you three options. One is to stay in the original company, but the company will be downgraded and become a secondary subsidiary of the group company, but your salary will not be reduced, which is an affirmation of your hard work over the years.

The second is to participate in the election for the group president. This process will last for one year. Within one year, you can focus on the entire group, provide relevant business ideas, compile them into documents and send them to me.

I will comprehensively consider the business ideas you have given and choose the one that I think is the best as the winning plan, and the provider of this plan will also become the president of the merged company.

The third is to break out of the current circle and become the person in charge of a newly established first-level enterprise under my banner. Since it is a new business, it naturally requires very good learning ability and can quickly adapt to the business development needs of the new enterprise.

You are all old acquaintances, and I don’t want to do the trick of reporting behind the scenes. Now think about it, and you don’t need to have any scruples about which plan you choose.

First of all, I want to declare that the business of the new first-tier enterprises is no worse than the current one, and even the annual revenue and scale will be much higher than now.

If I followed the previous strategy, I would basically poach people from outside. However, over the past few years, the talent pool in our affiliated companies has been sufficient, so I plan to select and appoint talents from within. "

After hearing what Zhao Yi said, Fang Huanian, the president of Flying Airlines, directly chose the second option. This shows that he is very confident in his own strength and intends to compete for the position of president of this new group company.

When Qingyang Airport Group President He Qiusheng and Chenghui Aircraft Leasing Company President Ge Qiuyang saw Fang Huanian's choice, they hesitated because Fang Huanian had already proven his talent in management and operations.

You know, it is actually quite difficult to develop and grow in the aviation field, because this industry is relatively mature and the competitors are relatively strong. As a newcomer in the industry, if you want to grow and develop, you must seize other people's market share.

If it was just the rapid development of domestic business, it would not matter. After all, the overall strength of the domestic aviation industry at that time was not strong. Everyone was almost on the same starting line. Coupled with the support of capital, the current performance was not as good as the previous one. Not surprisingly.

However, over the past year or so, Feifei Airlines has developed its international business at a rapid pace. It has become a giant in the field of international aviation operations, and this trend has not weakened.

Because flying airlines are not only satisfied with their own domestic international aviation business to other countries, they are also actively conducting mergers and acquisitions of other airlines and getting involved in the local air transportation fields of other countries.

In other words, compared to the other two companies, the flying airline has a more pioneering spirit and can adapt to the fierce competition in the international market.

The business of the other two companies is basically domestic, with almost no overseas business. The degree of internationalization is relatively poor, and it is certain that they have poor adaptability to international competition in the aviation industry.

So after seeing Fang Huanian's choice, they wisely gave up the second option. He Qiusheng chose the first option, which meant that he still planned to stay in his current company and continue his original business.

Although Qingyang Airport Group has become a secondary subsidiary, their scale is not small. Zhao Yi invested 40 billion yuan in the first batch. The construction of these airports is now nearing completion and most of them are already in operation. Not a short time.

According to the plan, after the first batch is completed, the construction of the second batch of airports will begin immediately. According to Zhao Yi's previous plan, there will be approximately 150 medium and large cities across the country, and these cities will have supporting airports.

Therefore, after the entire plan is completed, Qingyang Airport Group's asset scale will definitely be large, and its revenue will naturally increase as the income of our people increases.

More importantly, He Qiuyang has been busy for so many years and finally saw the dawn of victory. He is really unwilling to leave and start another business. Only the entrepreneurs themselves know the difficulties.

Over the years, in order to meet the needs of the construction of modern aviation hubs, he has traveled to almost all major airports around the world, just to learn from other people's management experience.

And in order to highlight our country's progress in airport technology, a lot of hard work has been put into both airport architectural design and operation, making each airport a landmark building in the city where it is located, with a high degree of recognition.

After these years of hard work, the service quality of Qingyang Airport Group can be said to have reached the world's leading level, and there has not been a single case of dissatisfaction to customers and airlines.

Of course, to be able to achieve this level, the intelligent management system has also made great contributions. All aspects have been included in intelligent management, and the efficiency and service quality have naturally been significantly improved.

Zhao Yi also respected He Qiusheng's choice of not wanting to start from scratch. In addition, the salary was arranged according to the person in charge of the first-level enterprise. At the same time, the scale of the enterprise he managed was not small. It was a rational choice not to move.

Compared with takeoff airlines and Qingyang Airport Group, although Chenghui Aircraft Leasing Company has a large number of aircraft, it has caught up with the period of great development of the domestic aviation industry and international business, and its operating income is very good.

However, the business is more monotonous than the other two companies, and the requirements for managers are actually not high. They only need to follow the world-wide aircraft leasing management system, and there is very little room for improvement.

If you are an individual, of course you like this kind of industry with simple business and good income. Being a charterer is very happy, but as the person in charge of a company, it is very uncomfortable.

It is natural to perform well, but if you perform poorly, the responsibility is very heavy. The most important thing is that in this kind of company, even though you are the person in charge of a first-level company, you feel marginalized very clearly.

During various exchanges, Ge Qiuyang clearly felt that his status was actually not as high as that of Qin Xiangqin, the person in charge of the secondary enterprise. This was determined based on the strength and importance of the enterprise.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Ge Qiuyang chose the third option. Only by jumping out of this circle and entering a new industry can he create a different situation, instead of staying in his current position as a housekeeper for a chartered company.

After listening to the three choices, Zhao Yi said directly: "I respect your choices. No matter what you choose, I will treat them equally, and I will not turn a blind eye to your contributions."

The reason why he said this was that he hoped that they would not feel guilty for the choices they made and feel that they could not hold their heads high in front of him. Especially He Qiusheng, he must have had some struggles when making choices.

Zhao Yi is telling the truth. He will not feel that he is of no value just because someone chooses the comfort zone. Everyone has the right to choose. There is nothing wrong with choosing a business that you are familiar with. You just need to do your essential work well. Just be solid.

After He Qiusheng heard Zhao Yi's words, his expression was obviously much more relaxed than before. The burden in his heart was finally released, and he was not as stressed as before.

"Next, Fang Huanian will serve as the president of the merged group of these three companies and be responsible for the merger of the three companies. At the same time, He Qiusheng and Ge Qiuyang must actively cooperate and strive to complete the merger and integration work in the shortest possible time.

He Qiusheng, while cooperating with the merger and integration work, you also need to carry out the second batch of airport construction plans. After completing the relevant plans, hand them to me and I will allocate funds for you.

Ge Qiuyang, after you have completed the handover work, please inform me to start the work arrangements for the new enterprise. What I want to tell you here is that the new business is the OEM industry. I believe you should have heard about it. "

As for the new person in charge of the Chenghui Aircraft Leasing Company, Zhao Yi does not intend to interfere, and Fang Huanian and Ge Qiuyang will decide together.

In fact, this decision is relatively simple. The intelligent management system will evaluate employees from various dimensions based on their daily work conditions and contributions. It only needs to select the appropriate person in charge based on this evaluation.

The three of them had no problems with Zhao Yi's arrangement, and all expressed their willingness to actively cooperate. As for the merged company, Zhao Yi named it China Airlines Operations Company, with the above three companies as secondary subsidiaries.

When it was over, Zhao Yi stayed with Ge Qiuyang and introduced him to the foundry company. The new foundry company was named Huaxin Precision Manufacturing Company.

The reason for adding precision is that we hope that this company will not be a simple OEM, but actively explore manufacturing technology and improve its manufacturing level.

Moreover, their business scope is not limited to OEM manufacturing, but also involves the manufacturing and research and development of production and manufacturing machinery and equipment, and will also incorporate the production line manufacturing business of Tiangong Precision Instrument Company into this enterprise.

Therefore, once this company was established, its business scope was not small, including not only the production line manufacturing R&D subsidiary of Tiangong Precision Instrument Company, but also the mobile phone production subsidiary of Hengtong Communication Company. (End of chapter)
