Volume 4 Crazy Growth 2017 Chapter 812: The Light of Domestic Production
It is worth mentioning that after completing the acquisition of Jiedian, due to the proxy holding of shares, Zhou Dongsheng undoubtedly achieved absolute control over Jiedian and had absolute voice.
In addition, Principal Wang himself is one of the shareholders listed on the board of directors of Dongsheng Group, so it is undoubtedly natural to make Street TV a subsidiary with absolute control by Dongsheng Group.
Therefore, after reorganizing the management of Jiedian, Zhou Dongsheng naturally handed over this business to Zhang Xiaoguang, which highlighted the idea that those who are capable should work harder, which made capitalists cry.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but sigh that one only regrets not having enough people when they are needed. With the development of the group, the number of capable people available is indeed limited.
After all, talent reserves, which involve deep foundations, undoubtedly require time to settle. For Zhou Dongsheng, who has emerged as a rising star in a short period of time, this is undoubtedly his biggest shortcoming.
Fortunately, most of the businesses of the entire Dongsheng Group are in a stage of rapid growth. While enjoying the huge dividends brought by rapid development, these problems will be covered up by the dividends.
At the same time, there is enough time for Zhou Dongsheng to make adjustments slowly, especially the strong capital accumulation has given Zhou Dongsheng sufficient trial and error costs.
If you don’t have enough people, you can hire them. If you can’t hire enough people, you can ask headhunters to poach them. If you can’t poach them, you can spend money. If that doesn’t work, you can offer the temptation of equity incentives…
If such a simple combo still cannot defeat the opponent, Zhou Dongsheng can only spread his hands and say helplessly: Okay, you are noble, you are amazing!
To a certain extent, as long as Zhou Dongsheng, the helmsman, is not determined to commit suicide and wants to steer the Dongsheng Group into a ditch, it will undoubtedly be a very challenging task.
Of course, if a belated money-losing system suddenly appeared now, maybe I could give it a try, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but think with full of evil taste.
After all, if even oneself can be reborn, then it is reasonable to have a system or something like that, isn't it?
Just as Zhou Dongsheng was daydreaming, a knock on the door interrupted his fantasy. Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but said lazily, "Come in!"
After saying this, he yawned as well. Now, he is really enjoying his job as a hands-off shopkeeper. He is just like an old farmer who is looking after an orchard and his daily task is to inspect his orchard.
Take a look at the growth of the fruit trees you planted, and then think about what else you can plant...
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoguang pushed the door open with a smile on his face. Although he was in charge of the Jiedian business, it did not affect Zhang Xiaoguang's work at the group headquarters.
It's just that he needs to spend more time traveling between the two places, and occasionally go to Pengcheng to take charge of the overall situation. At this time, Zhang Xiaoguang had just returned from a business trip in Pengcheng.
The first thing he did was naturally to come to Zhou Dongsheng to report. For any veteran in the workplace, being familiar with the rules of the workplace is a basic professional quality.
For example, it doesn’t matter what work you do, but letting your boss know what you do is the key.
Obviously, Zhang Xiaoguang is well aware of this. As soon as he returned to the Magic City, he rushed to report without stopping, and even looked exhausted. He truly understood that "details determine success or failure".
Before Zhang Xiaoguang could speak, Zhou Dongsheng stood up to greet him with a bright smile, "Old Zhang, you're back. You've worked so hard. Come on, have a cup of hot tea and we'll talk after you finish."
While speaking, he casually handed over a cup of tea on the tea table, which highlighted his attitude of welcoming and showing courtesy.
Zhang Xiaoguang was flattered. He took the teacup and paused for a moment. The tea was cold.
But it did not stop him from drinking it all. After finishing it, he said with a moved face: "Thank you for your understanding, Chairman. It is my honor to share the Chairman's worries..."
Zhou Dongsheng's smile grew even wider. He patted Zhang Xiaoguang on the shoulder, then calmly sat in the main seat, motioned Zhang Xiaoguang to sit down, and then asked while fiddling with the tea set.
"How did you get from this trip to Pengcheng? Did anything go wrong with Jiedian?"
Zhang Xiaoguang originally came to report on his work, but he lost the initiative due to Zhou Dongsheng's interruption. Now he can only report honestly.
"According to your arrangement, Chairman, Jiedian is currently developing rapidly, especially thanks to the opening of the Yida Plaza channel, the expansion speed is even more rapid..."
"So far, Jiedian's business has expanded to more than 20 cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. In the past month alone, it has completed the feat of laying 100,000 charging cabinets offline, with a growth rate of more than 500%..."
"At the same time, with the massive growth of charging cabinets, the number of daily orders across the country has skyrocketed. Thanks to the continuous promotion and diversion of the group's media business, the number of daily orders is now sprinting towards the million mark, and the total number of users is expected to exceed 10 million..."
"The most important thing is that the number of users who have paid deposits has exceeded one million, and the deposits on the books have exceeded 100 million. Among them, the number of repeat users has exceeded 30%!"
"If such an exciting data report is released to the public, it will surely serve as a powerful proof to crush the saying of 'false demand', and also prove the huge potential of the shared power bank business!"
"After all, compared with shared bicycles in the same period, all data are obviously better than the former, and under the chairman's call, the financing amount of the shared power bank industry has now approached 2 billion..."
“The situation is very good!”
Zhang Xiaoguang presented all the data in his hands in a concise and clear manner, and at the end he did not forget to offer a little flattery, he was just short of directly bowing and saying "That's a good idea, President" (funny).
"I don't have any appeal. It's just that everyone in the world is busy doing things for profit. If it weren't for the profit, would everyone be doing charity?"
“Although the sharing economy itself has a certain public welfare nature, who dares to say that it is not a business?”
Zhou Dongsheng shook his head and said meaningfully.
"However, with the rapid expansion of Jiedian, more and more suppliers came to us and asked to join us. The market demand has greatly increased, but the output is far behind..."
After talking about the good news, I naturally have to tell some bad news. Fortunately, this issue is also a kind of good news to some extent.
"Oh? What did Haiyi Shares say? After all, they are a shareholder holding 20% of the shares. Is there no way to solve the production problem?" Zhou Dongsheng asked with a frown.
The reason why we agreed to this acquisition plan in the first place was because of the production capacity of its parent company, Haiyi Holdings, wasn’t it?
After all, all of Jiedian’s patents and products are derived from its Anker brand. The technologies, including the production lines, are very mature, and they can be put into production quickly as long as they take over.
If Haiyi shares had not wanted to lighten their load and rush for their listing goal, they might not have chosen to sell off this project. But even so, a package sale with an estimated value of nearly 200 million yuan is definitely not a bargain sale.
After paying 160 million to acquire it, the remaining 140 million from the established 300 million start-up capital was more than enough as working capital to ensure production.
I just didn’t expect that although there was enough funding, the production capacity couldn’t keep up?
You have to know that the sharing economy is all about scale and the speed of land grabbing. If you are slow in one step, all steps will be slow. Production capacity largely determines the future of the project, which is undoubtedly fully reflected in shared bicycles.
As for shared power banks, they are naturally even better.
"Haiyi shares sold off this project in order to go public, so they naturally prioritized their main business in terms of production capacity. It is impossible for them to cater to everything. The answer they gave was that their production capacity is already fully loaded..."
"In fact, Haiyi Co., Ltd. may not have expected that our demand would increase to this extent in a short period of time . However, for a foundry production business like this, it is not difficult to find a foundry..."
"For example, a well-known foundry like Foxconn can perfectly solve our production capacity problem. Mobike, which we invested in before, also reached an industry-exclusive strategic cooperation with Foxconn, which completely solved the worries about production capacity..."
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought after hearing this, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the tea table, feeling as if he had overlooked something.
"Pengcheng, batteries... Huh? How could I forget about this one?" Zhou Dongsheng's eyes lit up. He was thinking about what else he could grow before, and now he has this idea!
Regardless of whether it is batteries, OEM, or new energy, there is one company that cannot be avoided, and that is Zhonghua YouB!
Damn it... ahem, bah, it’s BYD, the true light of domestic new energy, and even a top leader that is expected to become the world’s top leader.
Although BYD has always been questioned, and its love-hate relationship with Foxconn was once regarded as black material, but if we look at the history of BYD's rise, and the great talent and strategy of its helmsman, Brother Boatman...
If this was not a real thing, it would be easy for people to mistake him for the male protagonist of a novel, and even make people wonder if this guy also traveled back in time?
After all, the boatman had said in 2003 that he would revolutionize the internal combustion engine and become the gravedigger of fuel vehicles, and he also threatened to become the world's number one in 2025...
However, such an extremely arrogant statement undoubtedly caused a huge uproar in the market at that time, and was strongly resisted by many investment institutions.
After all, BYD had already made great achievements in batteries at that time. As long as it made batteries honestly, it would be stable and positive. Suddenly, it wanted to build cars with great fanfare and even spent a huge amount of money to acquire Qinchuan Automobile at that time...
Isn't this just a joke with investors' money?
This determination to build cars naturally met with the scorn of capital. After all, capital is short-sighted. They only care about the temporary rise and fall of stocks, so how could they care about the future?
Therefore, under the circumstances of massive selling by institutions, BYD's market value shrank by more than a quarter in just three trading days, and it was once reduced to a junk stock that the market had predicted to be bearish.
Although no one was optimistic about this decision, the boatman still rejected all objections and voted for the future unwaveringly...
Making such a strategic decision with great foresight into the future in 2003 was more than just being one step ahead of the times.
Today, 14 years have passed, and BYD is still moving forward towards its 2025 goal despite countless doubts and ridicules. Especially with the emergence of Tesla, a strong competitor, the voices of pessimism are far greater than before...
However, everyone can brag, but those who can do what they say and actually achieve what they boasted about are undoubtedly the truly awesome ones!
As a person who has been through it, even if Zhou Dongsheng only knows a little bit, it does not prevent him from praising it. The national liquor Maozi is just for fun, but if it is really awesome, you have to look at Di Zi.
As I said, industry makes a country prosperous. Being able to stick to one path unswervingly and use 20 years of accumulation and strength to speak for himself, even Zhou Dongsheng would be ashamed of himself for this real ability.
Although I am the real reborn person, I can't touch such a real doer like Ci!
After all, in times of real crisis, only such companies can step forward and demonstrate their traditional skills - hand-rolling production lines and producing massive amounts of materials to solve urgent problems...
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but feel moved. If he wanted to do something at that time, funds alone would not be enough. After all, when that time came, the market supply and demand relationship would be reversed...
In this case, let's start dealing with them from here. Zhou Dongsheng smiled and shook his head and said, "Foxconn is good, but they are a big company and may not take our small order seriously..."
"I think BYD is the partner that better meets our needs. Whether it is its accumulation of battery technology or mature supply chain system, it can better meet our needs!"
"Besides, my interest in this company is not limited to this. By the way, it seems that Dongsheng Investment has not made any investment in the secondary market for a long time, right?"
Zhou Dongsheng pretended to speak casually. Zhang Xiaoguang was startled when he heard it. He took out his laptop computer at lightning speed, opened the trading software, and searched for BYD's trading situation that day.
You don’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked. At this time, BYD’s stock price is only fluctuating around 48 yuan, with a slight green glow, which is pleasing to the eye.
Although Zhou Dongsheng had no idea about the future height of this stock, it did not prevent him from making a judgment that the price must be at a historical low and was seriously underestimated by the market.
After all, the new energy game is still far from making a stunning debut. Even the market leader BYD's market value has not yet exceeded the 200 billion mark.
But there is no doubt that the future growth space is still very considerable, especially as an industry leader with a market value of hundreds of billions. Its large market cap is enough to accommodate billions of funds and will not be easily overwhelmed by funds. The upper limit of operation is extremely high...
To sum up, it is undoubtedly a blue chip stock that is worth buying.
"That's it. Start building up positions and accumulating funds. I don't think you need to teach you how to do it, right?" Zhou Dongsheng said decisively, preparing to return to his old job with great interest.
Of course, making money is just a by-product. The most important thing is to give a welcome gift first to facilitate subsequent operations.
