After drinking at the mutton shop until eleven o'clock, Cao Mo planned to leave with Shen Ji, Cheng Xi, and Wu Yunling first, and said to Xiao Jun: "We will leave first. You can continue to drink and reminisce with Dabo; Changchuang car air conditioner If you can enter Huachen Pickup's existing supply chain system, you will be responsible for following up on the specific coordination. I think you don't need to waste time on blind dates anymore..."
"Xiao Jun has just returned to China for a few days' vacation. If you assign work to him now, is he considered a vacation?" Wu Yunling asked.
"This workload is not small, you have to be mentally prepared." Of course Shen Ji knew Cao Mo's plan, he patted Xiao Jun's shoulder sympathetically and said.
"I want to keep Xiao Jun working in China for a while, why should I let him continue to take paid leave? The money in the hands of capitalists does not fall from the sky, it comes from exploitation." Cao Mo said shamelessly. .
"Zhou Bapi is not as ruthless as you!" Cheng Xi said with a smile.
"Isn't this for our future? If we don't exploit Xiao Jun and the others, how could I be willing to let you do these dirty and tiring jobs?" Cao Mo grabbed Cheng Xi's little hand and looked at Qidong. Lu Junbo stood up to see him off. , said, "No, just keep drinking and leave us alone..."
While drinking, Cao Mo didn't talk too much about work. Gu Qidong had many questions in his mind and it was not convenient to ask them in detail.
When Cao Mo and the others drove away in the car, he picked up his wine glass and toasted Xiao Jun: "Whether Changchuang's products can be installed in Huachen pickup trucks depends on you, Mr. Xiao. By the way, Tianyue Industry acquires Huachen pickup trucks. Should we continue to use the Huachen brand, or should we register a new trademark? It seems that Tianyue Industry has not announced its plan yet?"
"After the acquisition of Huachen Pickup, the domestic market will continue to use Huachen's trademarks, and will even continue to use Huachen's existing channels to develop the market. Only overseas will independently operate new brands." These are not only the upcoming implementation The new plan has also signed a specific cooperation agreement with Huachen Industrial. There is no need to keep it confidential. Xiao Jun doesn’t mind satisfying Gu Qidong’s curiosity now and said, “But our Tianyue pickup truck and the ones we will develop in the future will Whether a new model will be equipped with Changchuang's products depends on the quality and price of Changchuang's products. I have a good relationship with Dabo, and I can only guarantee that under the same conditions, Changchuang's products will have certain priority. "
"The next product that Tianyue will produce should be Huachen's old model. Why does it take two or three years to develop a new model of our own? Do we really want to change parts suppliers directly now?" Gu Qidong still had a strong feeling in his heart. Doubtful, he asked very uncertainly, "Or is it that Tianyue is very determined to enter the automobile industry, has purchased new vehicle technology from other places, and acquired Huachen Pickup, just to borrow the current platform of Huachen Pickup?"
When it comes to Tianyue's overall industrial development strategy, Xiao Jun will certainly not reveal anything to Gu Qidong and the others, saying:
"It's not convenient for me to say too much about this. Anyway, Mr. Gu, you should prepare the materials first. Even if the vehicle air conditioner is only a relatively minor system in the whole vehicle, there are many aspects to consider. It is difficult to say many things now... …”
Speaking of this, Xiao Jun said to Lu Junbo: "How about we stop here today? You can come to me tomorrow with Changchuang's materials. We will promote this matter together in the future. We have plenty of time to get together and drink. In addition, except Qian Yunwai, who else in our class has gone to work in Xinhai, please take some time to get together. I returned to Xinhai and went abroad without contacting everyone or telling anyone. It was my fault."
"You're not still obsessed with Zhao Qianyun, are you?" Lu Junbo said, "You haven't drunk enough at this time. It's over now, and you're not in a hurry to find Zhao Qianyun, right?"
"..." Xiao Jun smiled bitterly, "Even if I don't die, I may not have time to think about personal matters. Don't stare at me with a wary face. If you have been in contact with us for a long time, you will know that Cao Mo is really thoughtful."
Peel off the skin…”
For a long time to come, Tianyue Industry will rely solely on endogenous profits, which is far from being able to support the rapid expansion of production scale and rapid accumulation of technology. It can only rely on Cao Mo's continuous blood-drawing from the outside.
Provide financial and resource support to Tianyue Industry.
This is the big strategic development framework that Tianyue Industrial has long established, and it is also a decision made by Cao Mo.
However, when it comes to the internal development pace of Tianyue Industry, not to mention Xiao Jun, Xu Bin, Huang Yijiang, and Gu Fan are all groping; even how to digest the acquired Huachen Pickup assets faster and better, everyone is thinking
They are all still playing drums.
How long did it take for Tianyue Industrial to establish a motorcycle product development and testing center in China?
They didn't even have their own product production lines before, and the two newly developed motorcycle models were all found in OEMs, and then the parts were shipped to Kanem for assembly.
Now it has taken over the pickup truck factory with more than 700 employees, and the original management and operation team has been fully adopted. However, this management and operation team strongly opposed Tianyue Industrial’s entry into the acquisition at the beginning. Who can guarantee that nothing will happen during the transition period?
Moth?
Four or five years after entering society, Xiao Jun is no longer the ignorant and fearless young man he was before.
Although Cao Mo had not expressed any intention of letting him stay in the country before, since he had made it clear just now and asked him to be responsible for following up on the supply of Changchuang air conditioners, he could certainly guess that Cao Mo might promote the entire supply in advance.
The reorganization of the chain will also allow him to be responsible for the coordination and liaison on related matters in addition to his original work.
Xiao Jun will not think this is an easy job.
He clearly understood that even if the vehicle air conditioner was just a small accessory system in a pickup truck, it might be more difficult than imagined to change the supplier. Cao Mo just pointed out the direction in which everyone should work hard and would try to eliminate it as much as possible.
There are obstacles, but the difficulties in actual work cannot be completely eliminated just by Cao Mo's words.
Of course, Xiao Jun will not be afraid of difficulties when he sees them.
At the same time, he also knew that Ibogo Mining, Cornero Cement, Cornero Food, Guinea Gulf Navigation, and Cornero Energy had a solid foundation. As long as the general economic environment could recover,
, your business will run better and better, and you don’t have to worry about big troubles happening along the way.
Only Tianyue Industry, which has just started, has a too weak foundation; and this foundation cannot even be built by simply investing billions of funds.
Not to mention world-class car companies, among domestic car-making forces, which mainstream car company has invested less than a few billion in technology research and development?
No one can say what the future of Tianyue Industry will be like.
Even the changes and additions to any model, any market or operational decision, are all gambles.
As long as the army fails, the vitality of Tianyue Industry, which has a weak foundation, will be severely damaged.
Don't talk about pursuing me then
If you keep up with the pace of mainstream domestic and foreign car companies, you may even be completely left behind, making billions of investments worth nothing.
On the one hand, Xiao Jun feels a huge responsibility, but on the other hand, he also feels that his accumulation in all aspects is still seriously insufficient.
He had been thinking about further studies before, but he did not have such conditions when working in Africa. He thought that since he could work in China for a period of time, he would have to do this. Then he really had no time to worry about his personal feelings.
…………
…………
Early the next morning, Xiao Jun got up and rushed to Lan Xi Restaurant to pick up the car, and called Xu Bin on the way.
Xu Bin also just received a call from Cao Mo. Knowing that Xiao Jun would not return to Kanem for the time being and would have to work in China for a while, he invited Huang Yijiang and the three of them made an appointment to have breakfast.
Xiao Jun was overseas before. In addition to co-responsible for the expansion of Tianyue Industry in the West African market with Zhou Jianming, another important task was to assist Xie Sipeng and Yang Deshan to maintain contact with political figures close to Kanem, Akwa and other countries.
Good PR job.
When he returned to China for vacation this time, all the tasks he was responsible for were temporarily replaced by others. But since he wanted to stay in the country first, these tasks would naturally be assigned to these people. Even if there were some job adjustments, there would be no need for them.
What are you worried about?
The key is how to distribute the responsibilities and scope of his work in China.
In the early morning, Cao Mo told Xu Bin on the phone that Xiao Jun's position had been adjusted and he would stay in China as the assistant to the president of Tianyue Industry, assisting Xu Bin in marketing, supply chain management, and liaison with Tianyue headquarters.
It would be easy if these tasks only involved Tianyue Industrial's old domestic business. Xu Bin could leave the relevant tasks directly to Xiao Jun, but when it comes to the newly acquired Huachen Pickup assets, the problem is a bit more complicated.
It was easy for Cao Mo to say a word on the phone, but Xu Bin and the others had various things to weigh and consider comprehensively.
It was too early in the morning for him to ask too trivial questions on the phone, so he asked Huang Yijiang to meet with Xiao Jun first. He learned about the Changchuang air conditioner from Xiao Jun. He couldn't help but patted his forehead and shouted: "It took a lot of effort to convince Boss Cao to postpone this.
The plan is to wait for Gu Fan to understand all the technical aspects of Huachen pickup truck and come up with a preliminary modification plan, why did he change his mind in the blink of an eye? "
The current chairman of Tianyue Industry is Cao Mo himself.
On the management side, in addition to Xu Bin serving as president and Xu Lizheng and Huang Yijiang serving as vice presidents in charge of overseas departments and product development and testing centers, the acquisition of the Huachen pickup production line left two vice president positions for the Huachen pickup management team.
The above is to assist Xu Bin in continuing to be in charge of matters related to the pickup truck production line.
The initially discussed plan was for the two vice presidents to temporarily be responsible for the independent operations of the pickup truck factory.
In addition to taking over the financial affairs first, Xu Bin did not directly intervene in specific affairs. Even the domestic market sales remained unchanged and continued to use Huachen's old channels. Only the overseas market was taken over by Xu Lizheng and Zhou Jianming; after the transition period
, it was also the carmaker’s independent laboratory that first took over the research and development of vehicle technology.
Xu Bin didn't need to go to Tianyue CEO to find Cao Mo, he also knew that the originally agreed upon plan had now been overturned.
"With the dual shifts in domestic monetary and fiscal policies, Tianyue's capital arrangements will inevitably undergo major adjustments. We can only adapt..." Huang Yijiang quickly thought of the reason and sighed.
The dual shift in domestic monetary and fiscal policies has directly benefited Dongsheng Real Estate, which is now completely under the shadow of the debt crisis. Before this time, Tianyue, Sun Hung and Dongjiang Securities planned to raise another 3 billion for Dongsheng Real Estate.
About 10% of the funds are used to replace short-term debt due within one year.
It is no longer necessary. The capital arrangement of Tianyue Investment in the next year will naturally be adjusted accordingly; Tianyue Industry will also be likely to receive more capital injections than expected, and many work plans will be advanced.
Execute, or make corresponding adjustments.
This is what is said about pulling one hair and moving the whole body.
"Xiao Jun's job arrangement can only be based on Boss Cao's instructions, but it should be announced first through a work email without making it too formal. In addition, the scope and content of the work should be vague for two days. The email said that you will first assist me in connecting with the pickup truck factory.
We can't completely follow Boss Cao's temper. We need to take a breath first. You can also take advantage of this time to get familiar with domestic work first," Xu Bin said, "
Your college classmate brings the information over, you study it first, and then the three of us find time to talk heads first!"
"Okay, everything will be at your discretion, Mr. Xu!" Putting aside personal feelings and big principles, of course Xiao Jun has to keep up with Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang's pace at work.
…………
…………
Xiao Jun previously worked mainly in West Africa and did not have a dedicated office in China.
When they arrived at Tianyue Industrial, Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang had a lot to do. Xiao Jun first found an administrative secretary to clean up an office for him, and he found a bunch of information to study first.
Overseas, he is mainly responsible for many affairs of Akwa, including the market expansion of Huachen Pickup in Akwa.
The sales volume of Huachen pickup trucks in Akwa in 2007 was less than 1,000 units. Xiao Jun also knew some information, but it was all about superficial performance data and other aspects.
Now, if he wants to intervene in the supply chain of Huachen Pickup, or even directly manage the supply chain, his previous understanding of Huachen Pickup will not be enough. He will regret it when the book is used, and he even hates that he is not a car manufacturing or related major.
graduated.
Lu Junbo didn't organize the required information until eleven o'clock and rushed to Tianyue Industrial. At this time, Cao Mo had just finished handling the daily work at Tianyue headquarters and happened to call Xiao Jun to ask if Lu Junbo had sent Changchuang's materials.
come over.
Xiao Jun drove Lu Junbo directly to the Hupan headquarters to see Cao Mo directly.
"I went back to the Internet yesterday to search for Tianyue's information. You guys are really selling arms in Africa. You are not well-known, but you can suddenly spend so much money to buy this and that, all at once.
?" Lu Junbo and Xiao Jun walked towards the lakeside building. They saw that the front of the building was paved with dark gray marble, and they were very gossipy about Tianyue's history of success.
Although Cao Mo has not been interviewed by domestic media, whether it is through injecting capital into Dongsheng Real Estate or cooperating with Sun Hung Investment, Dongsheng Holdings has taken control of Taihua Group. How could it not attract the attention of the financial media?
Even if the fight for the controlling stake of Taihua Group is implemented through mergers and acquisitions funds, the domestic securities regulatory authorities have penetrating requirements for the disclosure of information on the actual controllers of listed companies. Tianyue Investment is destined to no longer be able to escape the spotlight of the financial media.
shape.
After Lu Junbo had an accurate target, he searched online and naturally found a lot of information about Tianyue Investment. However, Tianyue Investment's overseas business was hesitant because the information on the Internet was simple. Lu Junbo could not imagine that just by mining and cement production, in a short time
How about four or five years?
Is it possible to amass huge amounts of wealth?
Even if you open a gold mine, it still requires costs and accumulation.
Xinhai Gold's current market value has dropped to more than 40 billion, and it is still a giant. However, before Zhou Shenhe took charge, it had been developing independently as a local gold mine for more than 20 years.
"Don't ask about this or that," Xiao Jun intercepted Lu Junbo's words and asked, "Do you understand the contents of this material? Whether this matter can be progressed smoothly depends to a large extent on your experience.
The person in charge is familiar with and understands the entire system. I found time in the morning to have a rough understanding of the supply situation of domestic vehicle air conditioners. Currently, there are many manufacturers that can replace them, and Changchuang is just one of them. We should eventually choose one that can follow suit.
Cooperate with manufacturers that meet our progress.”
"Before, Changxin Innovation's Hai branch did not have this business, and the main factory did not make systems. It mainly sold hardware to car companies," Lu Junbo said, "Two months ago, if you asked me if I understood, I would still
I can only fool you, but I really want to thank you now. Gu Qidong is eager to eat this piece of hot tofu. Not to mention the hardware, I can fool you even with the simple system control part! Your professional skills may not be able to
Better than me."
"Why didn't Gu Qidong come with you? The enthusiasm seems to be a little less than yesterday?" Xiao Jun asked.
"I asked him before I set off. Gu Qidong said that he wanted me to follow you through the internal procedures of Tianyue Industry first. The obstacles may be smaller, and it won't prevent me from reminiscing with you. When the critical moment comes, he will definitely take action himself.
"Yes, but he didn't expect Cao Mo to be so free." Lu Junbo found it difficult to notice some extremely subtle details, so he truthfully told Xiao Jun what he knew.
Xiao Jun guessed that Gu Qidong might be following the general view of the outside world and regarded Tianyue Industry as one of Tianyue Industry's attempts to diversify its development. Therefore, he believed that even if Cao Mo was a big boss with a lot of money, he would not be too eager.
Maybe it will push things to a better direction soon?
Xiao Jun took Lu Junbo into Cao Mo's office, where Guo Donghu happened to be talking about something.
"How can Mr. Xiao drive a Buick now and prop up the facade of Tianyue Industrial?" Guo Donghu joked when he saw Xiao Jun driving into the parking lot.
"It's better than just throwing a Huachen pickup truck for him to drive!" Cao Mo said with a smile. Seeing that Guo Donghu was leaving, he asked him to stay. "Regardless of whether the matters are related or not, the entire system must understand and be familiar with the relevant car-making matters.
, Lao Guo, you should also stay and listen!"
"So, I'm really jealous." Guo Donghu shouted.
Guo Donghu certainly knew that Tianyue Industry was the top priority promoted by Cao Mo. As for other businesses, Cao Mo's attitude was to organize and integrate them.
According to the original plan, Cornero Food's domestic factories were to be integrated into the Grain and Oils Division of Taihua Group, and foreign investments were to be integrated into the Overseas Investment Division of Taihua Group.
As the general person in charge of domestic import and export trade, marketing and domestic work of Cornero Foods, Guo Donghu resisted this plan and really wanted to implement it like this. He would be integrated into the grain and oil department of Taihua Group as the vice president in the future.
During this period, he reported to Cao Mo diligently about his work. He knew that he could not change Cao Mo's determination to focus on developing Tianyue Industry in China, so he tried to persuade Cao Mo to finally integrate Cornero Food into Tianyue Industry.
Even if Cornero Food's overseas plantation assets are integrated into Tianyue Industrial, he will still have a seat in Tianyue. Even if he holds a deputy position in a certain business unit of Tianyue Industrial, compared with integrating it into Taihua Group, , he will be the direct lineage patriarch after all.
Domestic monetary and fiscal policies are turning dually, and many plans need to be adjusted accordingly. Whether the asset restructuring plans of the two listed companies need to be adjusted accordingly still requires in-depth discussions. Cao Mo will not rush to make a decision yet.
The name change registration of Tianyue Industrial has not been completed yet, and the overseas asset swap cannot be officially implemented until it is approved by the securities regulatory authorities, so Cao Mo still needs to stay in the country for a while.
Cao Mo wanted to take advantage of this period of time to sort out the supply chain management work of Tianyue Industry with his own hands.
As a small and medium-sized vehicle, pickup trucks use body air-conditioning systems that are non-independent systems in which the compressor is driven by the car engine; therefore, the stability of the body air-conditioning system during driving is relatively poor.
This is more obvious in mid-range and low-end models. If you want to improve stability, not only do you have higher quality control requirements for compressors, electronically controlled clutches, condensers, evaporators, expansion valves and other components, but also the requirements for their electronic control systems are relatively high. high.
However, no matter what, the body air conditioning system of Huachen pickup truck, as a mid- to low-end model, is much simpler than that of mid- to high-end cars that place more emphasis on ride comfort.
However, in order to reflect the advanced nature of Changchuang's products and his familiarity with related technologies, Lu Junbo himself also took some precautions and deliberately introduced the product information in a slightly shallower and deeper way, and bypassed some simple questions. Professional terminology and professional principles are included.
Guo Donghu only needed a simple understanding, which was the most relaxing. Xiao Jun just crammed in to understand the relevant knowledge today. After listening to it for two hours, he felt his brain was slightly swollen. After staying up until one o'clock, he was obviously hungry. , but there is no fear of speaking.
But Cao Mo was in a good mood and didn't seem to be wasted at all. After eating the lunch, he agreed with Xiao Jun:
"You report to Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang first, and then take time to gather relevant personnel this week to evaluate the possibility of replacement..."
"..." Xiao Jun couldn't help but look at Cao Mo in confusion. It was difficult to confirm that he really fully understood the complexity of the car body air conditioning system?
"I will personally promote this matter, so don't be afraid of any resistance you may encounter!" Cao Mo said.
Gu Qidong and Lu Junbo may not be considered professionals in related fields. After all, Changchuang does not involve the most direct electronic control system, and the two of them mainly focus on sales and technical support. However, Gu Qidong and Lu Junbo are very important in actual work. , but it is easier to get in touch with the real situation.
However, due to various subtle factors such as interests or favors, as well as their self-judgment of the situation, the information will be severely distorted in the process of transmission and expression.
Neither Gu Qidong, Lu Junbo, nor Xiao Jun, Xu Bin, and Huang Yijiang can eliminate these interferences.
For example, Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang have to consider the mood of Huachen's original team and the existing digestion capacity of Tianyue Industry; while Xiao Jun is more inclined to cooperate with Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang's work.
Gu Qidong did not come directly to the scene today. Last night he showed a lack of confidence in Tianyue Industry, thinking that Tianyue Industry was too impatient and lacked stamina. Lu Junbo, on the other hand, had a mentality of showing off his skills to a certain extent.
None of them can say there is anything wrong, but it is inevitable in normal business decisions and will cause more or less interference. However, Cao Mo was able to eliminate these interferences to the greatest extent...
And if he cannot do this, how can Tianyue Industrial achieve a breakthrough?
