This company is somewhat mysterious. For those who don’t know it, the mysterious reason is that its development is unreasonable—the starting point is too high. A start-up company actually owns the most advanced technology park in the mainland and has more than 2,000 R&D engineers.
Just when many people thought that Xiaomi Technology would eventually fail due to lack of best-selling products, domestic demand for VCDs exploded. Xiaomi Technology quickly occupied the mainland market with its 'monopoly' Xiaomi VCDs and DVDs.
Make extra money'.
Come to life, this is what everyone in the industry thinks of Xiaomi Technology now.
It seems that VCD and DVD players can bring huge profits to Xiaomi Technology. In fact, the huge Xiaomi Technology Park and huge R&D team alone cost billions.
Of course, Xiaomi Technology also sells a series of small products such as cordless phones, corded phones, multi-function phones, Chinese pagers, etc., and can also make some money.
In a conference room of Xiaomi Technology, there are company executives like Zou Kaixuan, as well as a dozen heavyweight engineers in the field of computer memory. Some of them are from Japan and the United States, as well as from the mainland and Hong Kong. In short, they are all talents.
Although Xiaomi Technology is positioned to develop based on the mainland, it is actually an international company headquartered in Hong Kong and will be listed in Hong Kong in the future.
Therefore, although 70% of the company's technical personnel are from the mainland, there are also 30% of international technical personnel, and the importance of these 30% of technical personnel is self-evident. They are all poached with high salaries, so the salary gap between the two is also large.
Unless the mainland technical engineers prove their strength.
Zou Kaixuan handed out a piece of paper to everyone and said: "We are here this time because the company wants to enter the field of computer storage components. In addition to the research and development of computer memory sticks, the most important thing is this thing in your hands."
Everyone looked at the paper curiously, seeing some strange shapes, but of course there were some explanations on the paper.
"Universal serial bus (usb) is an emerging data communication method that will gradually replace other interface standards... A USB flash drive using a 'flash memory chip' has been developed.
The biggest difference from a hard disk is that it does not require a physical drive, plug and play, and its storage capacity far exceeds that of a floppy disk, making it extremely easy to carry... As the capacity of flash memory chips increases, eventually USB disks can be used
Replace hard drives and occupy the absolute memory market..."
These are all written by Lin Zuhui based on his superficial knowledge, but I believe it is like a beacon that can help these people have a research direction, and it will play a huge role.
Sure enough, when all the engineers saw this English report, their eyes lit up. Although there was no technical information, the principles and prospects were clearly explained.
A Japanese engineer said: "This idea is very good. It is a memory revolution in the computer field. I am very optimistic about this project."
Then everyone agreed.
As the boss behind Xiaomi Technology, Lin Zuhui hates Japan, but he is also pragmatic and will learn Japan's advanced service concepts and management concepts. He will also hire Japanese as employees and management. He is unbiased in these fields.
However, if he could make a lot of money from the Japanese, he would feel a sense of 'revenge'. The Japanese bubble back then brought him tens of billions of profits.
In addition, tens of billions of profits have been made by speculating on US dollars, Japanese yen and foreign exchange in recent years. Of course, this is not all Japanese money.
There will be many opportunities in the future, and his so-called "revenge" is nothing more than looking for opportunities to make more money in Japan.
Zou Kaixuan made some arrangements before disbanding the meeting. This project was very important, and she would personally check on the progress at all times. And she also believed that if it could develop in the fields of computer memory sticks, USB disks, and hard disks, it would make
Xiaomi Technology has become a giant technology company.
...
Back in the office, Zou Kaixuan saw Lin Zuhui at her place, playing on the computer.
"Boss, the memory project team has been established and has entered the research and development stage,"
Lin Zuhui took back his action, leaned on the chair, and said: "Well, the USB flash drive project is the most important, and the two projects of memory sticks and hard drives cannot be rushed. After all, they can be developed and produced, and the technology and performance will hardly be comparable to big brands in a short time.
, so it’s just the company’s long-term strategy.”
Fighting to support fighting is Lin Zuhui's strategy.
It is to develop excellent products and use the funds earned to invest in new product technologies.
Zou Kaixuan came behind Lin Zuhui and massaged his shoulders. She used to call Lin Zuhui boss, even in bed, but in fact, she was also Lin Zuhui's lover.
"I know that in a technology company, technology research and development is the most important. Only by persisting in long-term and continuous research and development can we eventually become a great technology company."
She fully understands Lin Zuhui's idea, that is, although she can make money, she will not withdraw any of it, but will use it to continue investing in research and development and talent investment. If she persists in the long term, the company will be able to accumulate more and more patents, and the entire company will be able to accumulate more and more patents.
The company will become great, too.
Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, you must have excellent products, otherwise if you suffer long-term losses, even rich people will become suspicious.
There is no doubt that Xiaomi Technology has survived and can devote itself fully to research and development for at least 5 years.
Lin Zuhui closed his eyes and enjoyed it, and then said: "The company's development is still a bit slow. You can consider a large amount of loans to develop the company. It doesn't matter how much the loan is, as long as there are banks that dare to lend. You have to find ways to accelerate development by acquiring overseas companies and technologies.
The company’s development alone is still too slow.”
Zou Kaixuan immediately understood what Lin Zuhui meant and said, "Okay, I will adjust my conservative strategy as soon as possible and acquire technology, production lines, and companies overseas."
Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "If we can produce the USB flash drive within three years, then we will have a 10 billion product. And VCD and DVD products are also our 10 billion products. Tell me,
We have such great strength, do we still need to be conservative?”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zou Kaixuan said: "No need!"
Regarding Xiaomi Technology, Lin Zuhui still hopes that it will become a real high-tech company, even if he personally supported 10 billion in the 1990s; in addition, he is also preparing to list Xiaomi Technology in the first half of 1997, and obtain profits from the stock market.
Billions of R&D funds. Coupled with product profits, loans, etc. in these years, tens of billions of R&D were invested in the entire 1990s.
Through Zou Kaixuan's control of this company, Lin Zuhui can combine the technology industries of Xiangjiang and the mainland to form a merger effect. You must know that many technologies can be introduced through Xiangjiang, and exports can also be facilitated.
Taking the mainland's semiconductor exports in the past as an example (exports of mid- to low-end chips), exporting through Xiangjiang only took 2 to 3 days to complete, greatly improving efficiency.
Lin Zuhui then warned: "As the company develops in so many areas, it must be clear about the priorities. In areas such as LCD monitors, lithium batteries, memory sticks, etc., we only need to develop slowly and cannot invest too hastily. The final priority is R&D and production.
Best-selling electronic products, such as VCDs, DVDs, telephones, mobile phones, and USB flash drives.”
Zou Kaixuan said: "Well, I understand what you mean - using war to support war is the company's long-term plan."
Then, Zou Kaixuan took the initiative and said: "When I visited Modu Bell Company, I found that their management system mrpii is very good and in line with international standards. So I plan to invest in introducing a set of standardized business processes and management systems, and strive to build the world's most advanced
Enterprise management system.”
When Lin Zuhui heard this, he thought about it. Of course he was familiar with the enterprise management system. The New Era Group used Western management, but it also had Confucianism and implemented management ideas that were compatible with both China and the West.
"Yes, this is a big thing, and it is also the preparation required in advance to become a technology giant. However, I hope you can also absorb some of the excellent ideas from our big Eastern countries. For example, when I run a business... Generally speaking
, business management, financial management, production management and other more than a dozen modules do require Western advanced management technology. But for people management, we also need to join our Chinese cultural management..." Lin Zuhui patiently discussed the enterprise
Management comes.
Zou Kaixuan said with an admiring tone: "Well, I will listen to your suggestion."
Then, Lin Zuhui asked about the company's product sales, and the results were indeed gratifying. Starting this year, the mainland's VCD market has exploded. According to the current development situation, the entire mainland market can exceed 2 million units this year (expected), and Xiaomi VCD has a share of
The rate is as high as 70%.
"Have copycat manufacturers appeared?" Lin Zuhui asked curiously.
"Well, several domestic brands have entered this field this year. However, we control two important components, and they are completely unable to mass-produce them. It will take at least next year for Japan to develop the movement. I believe that, wait and see
With more sources of movements and decoding chips, we have already established a firm foothold in the market."
Lin Zuhui nodded with satisfaction. It took so long to lay out the plan, so naturally all aspects have been thought of. At least in the second half of next year, domestic copycat VCDs will be able to take the lead, because they can't buy movements and decoding chips at the moment, so they have to wait for Japanese manufacturers.
, and also waiting for Taiwan to develop an all-in-one chip, but these will take time.
"If in a year's time, an army of domestic copycat manufacturers attacks, how do we plan to respond?" Lin Zuhui asked.
Whether it is against Japanese or Korean manufacturers or copycat manufacturers, Xiaomi Technology's cards can only be used for a while, but they cannot be used forever.
Zou Kaixuan said confidently: "Brand, word-of-mouth. In terms of brand, we have always been a prime time advertisement on CCTV, and the advertising content is very effective; in terms of word-of-mouth, we have established a large number of after-sales sites across the country, and the quality itself is better than that of mainland copycat products."
Several levels higher.”
It makes sense, but Zou Kaixuan still underestimated the power of the '1999 VCD', which would definitely capture a lot of the market. Of course, the sales of VCDs in the previous life from 1995 to 1997 were 2 million, 6 million, and 10 million units respectively.
It is growing rapidly, so the market is huge.
Lin Zuhui said: "If you negotiate with Philips again, tell Sony that they are almost ready to produce the movement and make them aware of the tension. At the same time, you can negotiate with them about the renewal of the movement supply contract. I tell you this
Well, next year there will be 500 units in the mainland market, and the year after that it will be 10 million units. We boldly estimate that we can occupy 40% of the market. You can bargain with them based on this standard. To give you another figure, the copycat factory may be in two years.
When we enter the 1999 Yuan era, we must also prepare in advance."
Zou Kaixuan understands that from his perspective as a man, there will be no prediction errors. And based on his sales forecast and price trend forecast, Xiaomi Technology has a lot to do to cope with the market in the next few years.
"No problem, I will formulate a targeted strategy as soon as possible."
Lin Zuhui nodded with satisfaction. Women may not be unable to become leaders of technology companies. Aunt Dong, who has little education and sales background, can lead a good company like Gree (with large dividends). Zou Kaixuan is no weaker than her.
However, Lin Zuhui suddenly had an idea, whether to invite Aunt Dong to Xiaomi Technology Company.
This thought made him a little excited!
Lin Zuhui asked: "How are Duan and the others performing in the company?"
Zou Kaixuan said: "They are all talented people and manage the company's production department and after-sales department very well."
Bosses from BBK, Oppo, and Vivo in their previous lives have all joined Xiaomi Technology and are currently in charge of the production department and the after-sales department.
At this time, Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "I saw a talent from the media in the mainland some time ago. It seems to be a sales agent of Zhuhai Gree Company. It's called Aunt Dong. You go find someone to poach the corner and hope she will come."
Our company’s sales department. Of course, there is no need to force it, but you can give it a try.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There is no shortage of good brands in China for air conditioners, but Xiaomi Technology will be the business card of the Chinese in the future, and it must at least grow to the level of Hua Wei. Therefore, there is such a talent
, we have to invite Xiaomi Technology.
Zou Kaixuan did not ask any more questions and said directly: "Well, I will first let someone check her information to see what positions are suitable for her, and then recruit people based on targeted conditions. Since the talent the boss is interested in, he must have good prospects.
I will reuse and cultivate him well."
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Not necessarily. In short, we have to pay attention to talents. By the way, around 1996 to 1997, I will let Xiaomi Technology go public. The company's excellent management and technical engineers will
You will receive a 15% stock reward. You must learn to use this to encourage everyone and keep everyone motivated."
Zou Kaixuan nodded. He knew Lin Zuhui, so he would not persuade him. At present, the high salary system implemented by Xiaomi Technology is a good place for domestic scientific and technological personnel. However, with the progress of society, talents are eager to get more, so shares
is required.
Of course, don't think that if you give away 15% of the shares, there will be nothing to reward in the future. There is no need to worry, the shares can be issued additionally.
On the eve of the listing, Lin Zuhui will also transfer his holdings to part of Jingwei Capital and part of the offshore company.
If Aunt Dong can be recruited to join the company as a senior executive, Xiaomi Technology will be equivalent to gathering four heavyweight bosses from the previous life. In this way, the company will be full of talents.
The two communicated for a while, then got off work together and prepared to return to their villa in Pengcheng. Their sons are currently in the mainland. Of course, they will have to go to Xiangjiang to study in the future, and the educational environment here will definitely be lagging behind.
