Chapter four hundred and ninth combing, step by step
Like a ray on the back, like a lump on the throat!
The two idioms of Guan Yujia, a timid and charming young woman, are undoubtedly very accurate.
Jing Gao's position is the center of the entire Phoenix system, and since he officially broke up with Ren He in early November, his life in the past few months has basically been related to business. Moreover, all of it has been with the Galaxy Group.
fight".
As a powerful person, Jing Gao never wanted to make his life like this! During the period around the Spring Festival, he had a deeper thought. His life would be divided into two parts: work and life.
However, as part of the "job", what he cares about is not whether the business is profitable at all, but "power"! Internally, what is required is control. Externally, he needs the companies under his name to influence more
people.
Phoenix Fund's subsidiaries and its related companies are currently in a situation of being "big but not strong"! The only thing that can take advantage of it is probably: Uber!
Of course, Phoenix Films has performed well. After merging LeTV Pictures and Huaer Pictures, and then hollowing out "Haotian Pictures", it is basically considered a top five player in the industry. However, this industry refers to the "film and television industry"
", and does not involve the fields of brokerage, distribution, and media. He is still far from an entertainment tycoon.
Other businesses such as Phoenix Payment, Phoenix Finance, real estate, Xia Shang Textiles, culture and tourism, hotels, clothing, medicine, sports, banks, venture capital, mobile phones, chip design, and manufacturing are just a show, without achieving results or branding.
.
In fact, the outside world has spread rumors that he is LeTV's second. If Uber fails to be listed on Nasdaq, or if its stock price plummets after listing and fails to reach a valuation of US$50 billion, then he will probably be abandoned by the capital behind it.
Fired squid.
Jing Gao nodded gently, picked up the thermos cup on the oval mahogany conference table and took a sip of water, "Guan Guan, you continue."
He is still young and maintains strong fighting spirit and firm will, so the second stage of the battle with the Galaxy Group is to open multiple "battlefields" to try to bring down Ren He's body. The information he learned from multiple channels, Ren He
He is the emperor of the Galaxy Group. And if the emperor falls ill and is hospitalized, what will happen to his empire?
You only need to read history books to understand this.
Or, his tactic is called "stretching its wings". Galaxy Group is like being surrounded by a large number of subsidiaries and groups in a fog. His competition with Galaxy Group does not involve its essence and core at all. Then let him first
His wings were cut off.
The specific deployment is to cut off Yintian Group, Haiyi Group, Ronghe Group, Haotian Pictures and other companies.
The ones currently successful are relatives of the Ren family, Yintian Group, run by Ren's uncle Renpai, and Haotian Pictures, run by Wu Mian, Ren He's eldest brother-in-law. In the former, although the lawsuit was settled, Renpai's son Ren Chao was sent abroad, and
He bowed his head for the time being. The latter? A large number of technical staff, directors, and actors from Haotian Pictures were poached? They had just recovered.
Guan Yujia was wearing a light blue professional skirt. She was sitting at the conference table, opposite Jing Gao. She continued with a smile: "Brother Jing, if your news is correct? Then if Haiyi Group can compete with us in the insurance field,
The capital chain will definitely be broken by then? There will be big problems. Ronghe Group is being squeezed by our partner Fangyuan Group. The information collected shows that Cheng Herong is under great pressure.
In addition, Galaxy Group's business in Southeast Asia is basically in its pocket. They plan to appoint Ren Zhi to Southeast Asia to manage mines, chemical plants, papermaking, ocean transportation and other enterprises. The main focus is on the emotional card. Guo Lingyu submitted an email plan to you? She?
She thinks the problem is not big. Ren Zhi is not her opponent.
So? We should actually consider how to solve the Galaxy Group’s final plan.”
Jing Gao tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the seat. At his level, he didn't need to go into the minutiae of business operations, such as how to allocate funds, how to avoid risks, etc. But he had to consider how to really solve the problem.
"Youwei, please tell me what you think." Jing Gao flipped through the printed email in front of him. This was Guan Yujia's comprehensive opinion solicited from some Phoenix Group executives. Currently, there are no ideas that suit his liking.
Dong Youwei stayed in Shenzhen a year ago, mainly to deal with the handover of Vanke shares with Evergrande? It has not been completed yet. It involves a valuation of more than 10 billion shares, and the handover will not be completed so quickly. Has he thought about it? "
Mr. Jing, I listen to you."
He has only been with Jing Gao for a month or two. He mainly spends his energy on handling daily affairs and how to please his boss. Serving the boss. For example: arranging beautiful stewardesses on private jets and young beauties in villas.
How to deal with the Galaxy Group, as Jing Gao's assistant, of course he is aware of the grievances between the two sides, and also knows some details of Jing Gao's instructions. But he will be wrong if he talks too much about this "big topic", and he does not need to bring a "think tank"
Hat, it's better to be cautious.
Jing Gao was noncommittal and looked at Jiang Zi, the mature and beautiful assistant to Guan Yujia's left, "Jiang Zi, what's your opinion?"
Jiang Zi, a plump mature woman wearing an old-fashioned black suit and uniform, said straightforwardly: "Mr. Jing, your request is really too much. Since we want to dismantle the Galaxy Group, we must not use illegal methods.
Means, this is difficult.
First, our Phoenix Group cannot compete with the Galaxy Group for connections within the system. We will lose if we fight. At most, we are just trying to protect ourselves. We also have to face the difficulties brought about by some operations of the Galaxy Group at the regulatory level.
Second, the commercial competition between domestic enterprises is nothing more than a few means. Tax evasion, safety and health inspections, these are all minor crimes. At most, they will suspend business for rectification and be fined. Unlike the beautiful country, tax evasion is punishable by prison terms.
The more sophisticated methods are nothing more than to win over the second shareholder to rebel, or find a way to break the opponent's capital chain. Or dig up talents and technology, and directly establish a company to compete with the opponent. For example, white goods companies such as Gree and Midea fought fiercely. Back then, Huawei
Mr. Ren was so angry and furious with the traitorous Huawei prince Li Yinan that he could only set up a special office to keep an eye on him. The main method was to steal business. Just like what Ren He is doing to us now, using real estate companies and us
Xia Shang real estate competition.
It is difficult to have a situation like the United States, where professional managers, shareholders, Wall Street capital, and competitors are all collaborating. The majority shareholders of domestic companies basically have very high holdings. The controlling rights are unstable, like this
Vanke only attracted Baoneng to have regular scripts. This is simply not the case for us and Galaxy Group.
The more sophisticated means are innovations in business models or changes in industry laws and regulations, which can directly disrupt opponents. Back then, the rise of the Internet created a group of rich people. Later, the mobile Internet trend created a group of rich people again. But this way
It's very difficult.
You see, Ma Yun and NetEase’s Ding Sanshi have had grievances for so many years. Who can do anything about the other? They are both in the Internet industry. The grievances that are not in the same industry are even more out of reach.
Therefore, our strongest method is to establish corresponding companies to compete with Galaxy Group's core business. But this may not be able to do anything to Galaxy. With a market as big as China, many industries can accommodate at least two world-class companies.
What's more, you also want to do it as soon as possible. Business competition, according to the laws of industry changes, will always take three to five years."
"So..." Jing Gao spread his hands.
Jiang Zi summed it up well. From a macro perspective, when Chinese entrepreneurs become big and eventually fall, it is rarely because competitors dig a hole or kill you in some way. Basically, they are themselves.
Either seeking death, or poor management, or industry changes!
To give a few examples. Mou Zhongzhong, the entrepreneurial idol of the time, was a pure fraud. Is there any justice in not closing down the business? How could a Ponzi scheme survive to the end?
There is also Shi Yuzhu, whose giant building kept increasing its height, and the capital chain was broken.
In recent years, mobile phone manufacturers, such as Coolpad acquired by Jinggao, have suffered from poor management and the market has been shrinking. It does not mean that a domestic manufacturer will sue you for infringement and violation of the law, then compensate you and go bankrupt.
Although HTC's mobile phone sales were extremely hot that year, it sued foreign manufacturers for infringement and missed the market and development opportunities.
Of course, from a micro perspective, nearly 40 years of business history has left enough classic business cases of corporate failure.
For example, in the beverage industry, the battle between Chinese companies and foreign capital is a very classic case. There are many business skills and methods involved. Another example is the gains and losses in competition in the Chinese automobile industry. There are also many business competition skills.
But, but... in the final analysis, to get straight to the essence, it is just pure competition in the commercial field. After all, it must be on the same track first!
At present, Jing Gao and Ren He are simply competing for business. Why is this? It's not that the two sides don't want to use higher levels of power to solve the problem, how simple that is. It's the balance achieved by the struggle.
As a third-year student, Jing Gao's power within the system is not comparable to that of Ren He. What Jing Gao said in An Yi, in front of Guan Yujia, Dong Youwei, Jiang Zi and other subordinates: Do not eliminate individuals as a
Isn't the purpose actually to worry that Ren He's friends within the system will be angry after he wins?
As for Ren He, in the battle between Didi and Uber, as well as the subsequent outbreak of the business of suppressing Jinggao, he used his connections. At that time, Jinggao was very uncomfortable. He was almost able to go
Imprisonment. Domestic penalties for taxation, environmental protection, violations, etc. are very light, but in terms of production safety and major accidents, they have always been very strict. However, Jing Gao relied on his reputation in Shanghai, Handong, Beijing, etc.
Huge investments in land have stabilized the situation.
At least, he is safe until Jinggao's wafer fab is put into production. There is no need to worry about the pressure in this regard.
"Our competition with Galaxy Group is basically to establish related companies first, penetrate into their core business areas and then compete? For example, this time we are competing to acquire Xunzhi Pharmaceuticals."
Guan Yujia, Dong Youwei, and Jiang Zi nodded, "Yes."
Jing Gao knew that what the assistants said was true, but he was inevitably a little disappointed. He felt that he needed "advisers" around him. As secretaries and assistants, these people were qualified and had very good execution skills, but they were not good at planning and layout.
But no matter what, Phoenix Group still has an advantage in the current situation. In purely commercial competition, what does he have to fear with an unlimited card in his hand? A loss of one to two hundred million US dollars on a project is not fatal at all.
"It seems that it is impossible to do it as soon as possible. We can only do it step by step. Okay. Guan Guan, according to the suggestions, adjust the company's layout. Spin off the Taichu Strategy Research Office and establish it as a think tank. Establish the Phoenix Group and transfer the remaining
All personnel are established as headquarters agencies.”
Within the past six months, the structure of the Taichu Strategy Research Laboratory was set up by Guan Yujia and initially put into operation.
So, they submitted a report recommending that he adjust the company's structure.
The structure of a "consortium" is actually related to national conditions and the personal will of the person in power.
There are currently almost a dozen companies under Jinggao, not counting registered subsidiaries, branches, and affiliated companies. Therefore, this is inevitable according to the organizational structure of the consortium. He followed the advice of his teacher, Professor Wei Shenliang, and modeled
The structure of Samsung Group.
Because the problem he urgently needs to solve is how to outline, control the overall situation, and plan all companies. Samsung uses the "Samsung Future Research Laboratory" model to control and lead its companies.
However, there is a national condition here. Some of South Korea's successive leaders over the years have suppressed chaebols. There was also the invasion of American capital during the Asian financial crisis. Therefore, chaebols gradually reduced their holdings of subordinate companies during the game.
of equity.
The equity of Samsung Electronics, the core company of Samsung Group, is dominated by American capital. It only means that the control of the company is in the hands of the Samsung Lee family. But with Lee Jae-yong taking over, the problem of control is very serious.
Japanese consortiums have always had cross-shareholdings, which are confusing and similar to those of American-funded companies. It seems that professional managers are managing the company, but in fact it is controlled by specific families. For example, the Mitsui Consortium is well known to us.
In Benzi's society, there are clear hierarchies. If you have a little understanding of Benzi's society, you will know that their classes are quite solidified.
The reason why Benzi did this was because they needed to collectively pretend to be dead and resist when the beautiful country put pressure, so that the beautiful country could not find the specific person responsible. Collective responsibility means there is no responsibility. Benzi has a garrison of Eagle Sauce.
Idaka's current situation is different from that of Samsung Group and Mitsui Consortium. As of now, his corporate structure does not require cross-shareholdings among its companies to hide him from the public eye.
The way the consortium works in this book is quite complicated. Maybe a small shareholder with 3% of the equity of an obscure company may be the actual controller.
He originally intended to do this. But the time was still short, and when Didi competed with Uber, he was investigated thoroughly. He was also attacked in the media as a foreign investor. Although he himself refused interviews from all walks of life, he learned from Huawei's
Mr. Ren, but his name was still exposed.
Therefore, he doesn't need to learn about Samsung or Mitsui now, just come here! This way the company can operate more efficiently. The company's structure is directly aligned with the best domestic companies: Alibaba, Tencent, and Huawei.
The Phoenix Group headquarters is established, with various business divisions (BGs) under it. The business divisions then govern each company.
Of course, as time and age grew, he still deliberately used cross-shareholdings to hide his name from the Phoenix Group's shareholder list. He did not like to be high-profile.
Guan Yujia said: "Okay. I will arrange it. Who will be responsible for Phoenix Fund's acquisition of Xunzhi Pharmaceuticals? Will Mr. Cao be transferred back?"
"I'll do it myself. I'm going to Shanghai to take MBA courses in two days, so we can handle it together. But first, you need to help me set up the acquisition team." Jing Gao raised his hand and looked at the time. It was 10:30 in the morning. "
That's it for today. Jiang Zi, please stay for a while while I understand the situation at Uber."
