Chapter 712 The Dust Settles
He first scolded George harshly, and after he vented his anger, Ying Anlun calmed down and sat down to have a serious talk with George.
He directly pointed out that George's idea was completely wrong and unrealistic. His attitude was not a cooperative attitude at all and he had no sincerity at all. The world can do without anyone, but the earth will not stop turning without him. Although George is a top talent, he is not the only one in the United States.
As a successful businessman, even an investor with a bit of brains would never agree to George's request. No wonder George worked so well in Motorola, but later had a quarrel with his boss and resigned. As a science and engineering man, sometimes his brain circuits are not as good as his technical thinking.
At first, George was a little unconvinced and couldn't help but became awkward. He began to regret his whimsical attitude.
"An Lun, now that it has become like this, do you think it is still possible to save the relationship?"
With his head hung, George thought for a long time and asked this question.
Ying Anlun didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. He sighed and told George that he couldn't guarantee whether it was possible or not. But he felt that the most important thing at the moment was to admit his mistake to the other party first, and then come up with a condition that both parties could accept and then talk about it.
If the other party is willing, they will continue to talk to George. If they turn a blind eye, then the matter is over. After all, Song Yuanchao has already called Ying Anlun and expressed his dissatisfaction with George on the phone. At the same time, he also hopes that Ying Anlun can recommend another suitable candidate to him.
George did not agree immediately. He spent a day thinking about it carefully. Finally, the next day he came to tell Ying Anlun that he had thought it through and would no longer propose those outrageous conditions. He was willing to discuss cooperation with Shenghua.
For the sake of his friend, Ying Anlun had to shamelessly call Song Yuanchao and said a lot of nice things to him on the phone. He also pointed out that George was still the most suitable candidate at the moment, and his abilities had been recognized by Shenghua.
It's just that George was a little confused before, saying inappropriate things and having inappropriate thoughts. I hope to give George another chance. As long as both parties agree on the conditions, he, as an introducer, guarantees that the cooperation between Shenghua and George is worth it.
Song Yuanchao will definitely give this face to Ying Anlun. Not to mention everyone and his partners, even for the sake of Ying Caixia and Ying Annie, Song Yuanchao has to give it.
Just like that, George put aside his unrealistic ideas and the negotiations between the two sides officially entered the substantive stage.
Just over half a month ago, the terms were finally agreed upon. Shenghua, as the company's major shareholder, holds the majority of the company's shares. Of course, the specific investment cannot be made by Shenghua alone. Song Yuanchao will use the names of several overseas companies to make investments and hold controlling stakes.
After careful consideration, Song Yuanchao generously gave George and his team a final 15% stake. In addition, he also took out nearly 10% of the company's options as future incentives for the management and scientific research teams.
Although this ratio is far lower than George's initial requirement, considering the establishment and equity distribution of a new company, George did not suffer any loss and even gained a lot.
The company's registration has been completed, and Song Yuanchao was too lazy to think about the name of the company, so he directly registered it with Future technology and changed the Chinese name to "Future Technology".
When Song Yuanchao proposed this company name, George agreed with both hands, saying that this name was very good and he was extremely satisfied with it.
At present, Shenghua has invested 5 million US dollars in Future Technology to establish the company's headquarters and R&D team. The company is now mainly responsible for the research and development and improvement of communications, providing technical support and new product development for Shenghua Telecom. In addition, Song Yuanchao also promised George that if the R&D team has reliable project needs, George has the right to form a new team outside the existing team for investment research after his approval. As for the funding issue, Shenghua will strongly support it, and the ownership of the technology will belong to the company, and part of it can also belong to George's team.
The company has just been established, and many follow-up works are still in progress. However, Song Yuanchao has already started to select talents from Shenghua Electronics to go to the new company.
Some of these talents will directly join Future Technology's R&D team, and some will go to the United States for further study and training. This approach will become a routine within the company in the future. In the future, Shenghua will also recruit some university graduates in China and send them to American companies, thus ultimately forming a talent exchange and a virtuous cycle.
Song Yuanchao came to Hong Kong this time not only because of his wife and children and Shenghua headquarters, but also because of the American company. He has no time to go to the United States for the time being, but Qin Zhengguo will take his place and go to the American company to take charge for a while.
Qin Zhengguo was asked to go because he was the most suitable candidate. Not only was he the chairman of Shenghua Group and the nominal boss of the American company, he was also Ying Anlun's brother-in-law, and Ying Anlun and George were good friends.
"That's it. Although the first batch has fewer people, we don't need to transfer too many people at the moment. Pengcheng has a big shortage of technical personnel. If we transfer too many people, it will affect Pengcheng's work ."
After looking through the lists discussed several times, Song Yuanchao finally expressed his opinion and finalized the number of people who would go to the American company in the first batch.
"By the way, when you go there this time, discuss with George. In the future, the exchange of technical personnel between China and the United States will not only require us to go abroad, but also require them to come in. Let George select a few personnel to be stationed in Pengcheng to strengthen Pengcheng's technical strength."
"Don't worry, I've thought about this. I also contacted Xiangjiang University last year. This year, Shenghua will recruit some graduates from Xiangjiang University to make up for the shortage of human resources."
Song Yuanchao nodded. Qin Zhengguo was right. Shenghua was short of talent, and there were many gaps in subsequent talent. However, it was difficult to find suitable fresh blood in the mainland at present, so they had to find a way from Hong Kong.
Although the labor cost in Hong Kong is relatively high, it is still very necessary for the overall development of the company. Song Yuanchao naturally supports Qin Zhengguo's decision.
As time goes by, reform and opening up become more and more in-depth, and many things that were not allowed before are now gradually relaxed. The most representative of these is the removal of restrictions on private enterprises. With the emergence of private enterprises, the domestic industrial structure will begin to change dramatically.
In just one year from last year to this year, the number of private enterprise registrations has reached an unimaginably large number. Moreover, compared with state-owned and collective enterprises, the vitality of private enterprises is very significant. In addition, the natural flexibility, decision-making and pioneering nature of private enterprises are far stronger than the rigid state-owned and collective enterprises. Even the most rigid-minded people have to admit this.
1985 was a critical year. The emergence of private enterprises or private enterprises broke the original corporate structure and made the entire market burst with explosive power.
The next few years will be the peak of the booming development of private enterprises. By then, the word that there are 900 million businessmen among the 1 billion people and 100 million who are waiting and watching will begin to spread among the people, and even numerous large and small private enterprises will emerge, including the famous "shell companies".
In my previous life, there was a joke that easily reflected this situation. The joke was that a brick fell from the sky and hit the street, knocking down five people at once, four of whom were general managers and one was the deputy general manager. Although this joke was a bit outrageous, it did vividly depict the craze of business development at that time.
The emergence of private enterprises also marks the beginning of fierce market competition. Now the entire market is still a seller's market. As long as the products produced are good and there is consumer demand, there is generally no problem selling them.
However, after the emergence of private enterprises, market competition is inevitable because the pursuit of capital interests is reflected. In particular, some products with large market demand and good sales are the first choice for private enterprises to enter the market.
For this reason, the structure of the market has also changed. When a large number of similar products flood the market, the original seller's market will turn into a buyer's market, leading to fierce competition for the market.
This is why Song Yuanchao is not optimistic about the textile and clothing industry. What he has seen and heard in his previous life also tells him that these low-tech, labor-intensive products have no future in the future. Although Shenghua is still making huge profits in this area and it is also one of the pillar industries of Shenghua Group, in Song Yuanchao's mind, these industries will be sold at the right time in a few years.
Song Yuanchao has long-term plans for Shenghua, and the formal establishment of the American Future Technology Company and R&D institutions is an important part of Song Yuanchao's plan.
When asked about the arrangements for recruiting fresh graduates from Hong Kong University, Qin Zhengguo told him about the progress of the work in this regard. Since he was about to leave for the United States, Xu Hui would be personally responsible for this work. Song Yuanchao was very confident in Xu Hui's work ability.
"By the way, regarding Yuan Chao, what did you say about Liu? Are you still planning to meet him?" After finishing his business, Qin Zhengguo suddenly remembered Liu Lianxiong and couldn't help asking.
"Haha, I almost forgot." Song Yuanchao had left him alone for several days. If Qin Zhengguo hadn't mentioned it in advance today, he really wouldn't have remembered it. After thinking for a while, Song Yuanchao said, "Let's meet. He's a big boss, too. It's not good to leave him alone all the time. So you can give him a call and see if he has time to sit down together tomorrow."
Qin Zhengguo rolled his eyes at Song Yuanchao. It sounded as if he was ignoring others. It was obviously you, Song Yuanchao, who was putting on airs, but you were taking the blame?
