this man is not calm

Chapter 259 not doing business
  Before it expands to a certain level, the company itself is just an extension of the boss's will.

What kind of person the boss is will imprint his own personality on the company, recruit similar employees, and implement similar systems.

Jin Shang himself is a leader with outstanding appreciation ability, and does not make too many demands on personal character and moral standards. It's not like the troubled times of the feudal era. It needs a group of like-minded people to conquer the world, and it needs many experts who match the strength and aptitude to join. In the end, Jinxi Culture is just a group united by common interests. The employees are not admiring Jin Shang and defecting to it, but just making a living while achieving their life goals.

As long as he can work, abide by the company's rules and regulations, and bring benefits, Jin Shang doesn't want to care about his personal life and private thoughts.

As for the so-called corporate culture, Jinshang is currently only committed to making some specific advocacy in terms of products, services and development, and a more high-profile image promotion is limited to the purpose of hanging at the door.

There is no need to pay too much attention to other things now.

As a result, it will naturally be easy for employees who do practical things within Jinxi Culture to get ahead, while it will be more difficult for job bastards to be promoted.

The boss is a relatively shrewd person, so naturally it is very difficult to be fooled. All the knowledgeable people, lofty plans, and flashy PPTs are not just that they don’t work, but that they have no real substance and can be easily exposed.

Jin Shang himself is a scholar, not a layman, and he studies diligently and delve into new knowledge. Not to mention very proficient, I know a little bit about it, and even grasp the key points very accurately.

Coupled with the "golden broom" escort, there will basically be no major errors in judgment.

A positive screening mechanism has been established. People who have made real contributions will naturally be promoted faster. It will be very difficult for "actors" who are proficient in various workplace routines to occupy high positions that do not belong to them.

During the inspection by a group of people, Mei Wenhui admired the work attitude of Jinxi Culture's employees very much.

If it weren't for his cousin's charter, Mr. Mei wouldn't be idle to deal with such trivial matters.

After coming to the top floor to check the operation of the computer room, Jin Shang introduced Li Xuan to the division and functions of the main group buying business in the future. The two-story office area is enough to provide nearly [-] workstations. If you squeeze it in, it can accommodate [-] people.

"The floor is not high, but the area is larger than that at the headquarters."

Striving for a good working environment for subordinates is one of the tasks of Li Xuan, the project leader. Needless to say, Jin Shang attaches great importance to the group buying business and will definitely not neglect the arrangements.

"In the future, the group buying business will also have its own operation and maintenance team, and the overall framework development will be handled by the technology center. It must ensure that the products of each business are consistent."

The underlying architecture and data services are the basis for ensuring the internal collaboration capabilities of Jinxi Culture and improving efficiency. Future big data, cloud services, artificial intelligence, etc. will all be formulated by the headquarters, with active cooperation from subsidiaries and divisions.

Now, all we need to do is ensure that the accounts of each business line are interoperable, and that Jinxi currency, Jinxi payment, Jinxi chat, etc. can be used.

It is still early and not the time to form an advertising alliance and win over allies.

Mr. Mei came to the scene in person, opened his eyes to his younger cousin, and introduced the regional property manager to avoid any conflicts in the future.

"A Shang, can your cash flow be sustained? It's just over one million, which is not a big amount, but you spend so much every month, with an average annual increase of [-]% to [-]%, and the pressure is not small. ."

"It's okay, it's not a big problem. This long-term lease is estimated to be at least seven or eight years, and at most ten years."

At least until smartphones start to become popular, O2O business will truly show that it can break away from the e-commerce platform and dominate one side.

Formal food delivery platforms have actually been developed for a long time. Many years ago, they were only used as innovative projects on campuses and some office buildings, linked to work-study and other activities.

The main group served is teachers and students on university campuses.

Until Xiaomi came out and drove the price of smartphones to less than 2 yuan, the O[-]O business that combined online and offline services began to soar like a tiger.

Right now, it is just an important supplement based on the e-commerce platform.

Jin Shang and Li Xuan have very high expectations for the group purchase today.

The property manager and service team were briefing Li Xuan on the situation, while Jin Shangze and Yin Feiyang were discussing some issues.

"Stability still needs to be improved?"

Yin Feiyang replied helplessly:

"I have communicated with the operator many times, and it is true that it will be difficult to improve for a while. If we really want to be perfect, we must import high-precision parts from abroad. Only by purchasing in large quantities can we reduce the cost slightly. Now... it is unrealistic. .”

After all, it is just an experimental project in the name, and the main hardware equipment is mainly made in China.

It’s not that they can’t be used, but that when new products come online, they are very immature, such as modems and switches. If they run for a long time, they are prone to glitches.

Most of them can be solved by restarting cooling. For some more difficult cases, the equipment needs to be replaced.

There are benefits, of course.

It is of high quality and low price, and can be provided at any time. Unlike imported equipment, if there is a slight problem, it is difficult to repair it, and it is even more difficult to return or exchange the product.

As a result, there are certain requirements for the managers of Internet cafes.

Not only must we handle routine work, we must also have sufficient coordination and resolution capabilities when individual failures occur.

"Let's do this. The company will provide training for on-the-job network managers. At the same time, it requires the after-sales personnel of the hardware equipment vendors to ensure that they are on call whenever any fault occurs and that it is rectified as soon as possible."

"Please rest assured about this, Mr. Jin. These domestic equipment manufacturers started relatively late, and the quality of their products is indeed poor. Apart from being cheap, they do not have many advantages. They themselves understand this, so they do a great job in after-sales service." In place.”

Cheapness is the last word, and stability is not a big deal. This is [-], so it cannot be compared with the technology of [-] or [-] years later.

"The equipment in Internet cafes is a product that is used for a long time and with high frequency, and the wear and tear will definitely be serious. How to retain customers to the maximum extent, improve user experience, and make them feel value for money is the top priority. It cannot be ignored.”

Jin Shang also knows that the ADSL high-speed broadband launched in a hurry will definitely have many problems.

Jin Shang was mentally prepared for the possible minor troubles. Even so, everything had to give way in the face of the absolute killer of high Internet speed.

Even so, when Jin Shang held the controller and played "King of Fighters 1996" against a netizen online, he still felt helpless because the waiting time for matching buffering was too long.

The stability of the broadband itself definitely needs to be improved, and there are indeed problems with software adaptation. Especially in cross-platform battles, the response speed of the server has dropped significantly. “It’s still too early to test online games in the second half of next year. Strive to produce network-based battle games "StarCraft" and "Counter-Strike" as soon as possible. Then we created a reskin of "DOTA", which initially established the name of Today's Games, and officially entered the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). 』

Even if the conditions are ripe, we should go up. If there are no conditions, we should go up even if conditions are created.

Just like now, Jin Shang has no intention of investing money in building a high-speed broadband Internet cafe, let alone launching a few classic games in a hurry.

But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.

It’s just that I didn’t know that there is a routine to promote ADSL simple configuration. It’s just in time. It would be a pity not to promote it.

  As the Chinese New Year approaches, people’s desire for consumption becomes increasingly strong.

The skin monkey whose real name is Mei Wenlong and whose nickname is Er Hui has been living a very comfortable life recently. Ever since he met his cousin from the Jin family, he has really become the most handsome boy in the school. He has a second-generation Venus console that cannot be bought outside. , I have two of them at home, and they also have the latest game cartridges. They are really fun.

If it weren't for his father and mother coming home often during this period, he wouldn't have dared to invite his friends to play games at home, and he would have gone to such great lengths.

The school Er Hui went to was not considered a top school, but it was also the kind where ordinary families could not afford the tuition.

They are all young men whose parents are rich. They are at the age when they are not afraid of anything and love to play. If no one cares about them, they can poke a big hole in the sky.

Games like "Dynasty Warriors", "Resident Evil" and "King of Fighters 1996" are prepared for Venus 2, because the first-generation machine still has a huge inventory, and the second-generation products are still being optimized, and The number of supporting games is small and will not be officially released until then.

In the name of "internal engineering prototype", it is only sold daily in Jinxi Mall, resulting in de facto starvation marketing.

It can be seen but cannot be touched, which really makes many gamers feel itchy.

Fortunately, the game board is universal for the first and second generations. However, the experience of the first-generation machine is slightly worse, but it can be played.

If you can’t buy a second-generation phone, it’s a good idea to buy a first-generation phone and try it out first.

In addition, the current discounts are very exaggerated, coupled with the lottery and free orders, a group of lucky winners were born, which really attracted the attention of many people.

Therefore, with the stable recovery of sales of Venus game consoles, coupled with the sales of many popular game boards, Beichuan Electromechanical's sales at the end of the year have greatly improved.

If I have to use a landmark event to describe it, Jin Shang went to Uniqlo to visit Lao Jin one day. In the electrical appliance exhibition area, he saw a promotional video with the song "Venus" as the background music playing on the big screen.

The Venus console, which was placed in the most conspicuous front row, attracted the attention of many children who were drooling with envy.

A Venus console worth [-] yuan is simply a profiteer with a corrupt conscience. A Venus console worth [-] yuan is a sincere product with good quality and low price. For less than [-] yuan, it is a treasure in the eyes of players.

It was precisely after seeing the long-lost hot sales scene that Jin Shang began to realize that this year's Beichuan Electrical and Mechanical Annual Report might really turn a loss into a profit.

When it was originally redeemed as a debt foreclosure, it was already regarded as a non-performing asset that could not be liquidated, and had a huge discount.

If these game consoles can really be sold, even if they are discounted in half, as long as the warehouse can be emptied, there will be no loss.

What's more, the Venus console itself is not bad, but there are some problems in product design and positioning. The stacking is too fierce, the compatibility is not good, and it was abandoned by the game manufacturer, which makes it appear to be a complete failure.

To be honest, the vast majority of consumers of game consoles don’t care whether they are single-core or dual-core, or how technical they are. As long as the game is fun, the screen is smooth and not laggy, and the price is affordable, minor problems are not worth it. Mention it.

In the middle of the month, Jin Shang went to Beichuan Electromechanical to convene an extraordinary shareholders' meeting. Looking at the announcement of an increase in net profit in the annual report signed by Hong Renquan and Tang Yu, he asked confusedly:

“It’s only been ten days since the announcement was made, so are you going to revise it now?”

Tang Yu smiled and explained:
  "Mr. Jin may not know much about the rules of the secondary market. It's the end of the year, and major fund companies, securities firms, and investment banks are also rewarding based on their merits. Profits are cashed out and positions and shares are swapped more frequently. At this time, if there is good news, It is more attractive to long-term investors to buy..."

"I roughly understand something. The hype of short-term hot money has its ups and downs, and too frequent "leeks" are actually not conducive to the company's market value management. Long-term investors are like a magic needle in the sea, preventing too much financial risk or being short-selling. kill."

"It's a bit white, but that's roughly what it means."

Hong Renquan nodded in agreement,

"The performance has been improved, and the dividend clause has also been added to the resolution. Although it is not much, it can be considered very sincere."

Jin Shang read the last few sentences of the announcement and understood.

Because the sales of Venus game consoles have picked up in the last month or so, the company's revenue in the fourth quarter has increased significantly, and profits have increased more than [-] times.

Originally, I had worked hard to do the accounting and had a net profit of just over [-] million. As a result, after a month of crazy growth, the net profit had reached more than [-] million, and it was still rising.

The reasons for the revision are also easy to write, and they are clearly reflected in the cash flow. Everyone understands what is going on.

"There will be an investor meeting at the end of the year. Two investors are doing research. Would you like Mr. Jin to attend and receive it?"

"No, it's okay. Secretary Tang and Manager Hong can just deal with it. I have other things to be busy with."

"That……"

Tang Yu also knew that Jinshang's main business was not here. Even though Beichuan Mechanical and Electrical's stock had risen for several months and increased nearly ten times, it was still far less potential than Today Mall.

Of course, Jin Shang witnessed the horror of the industry with his own eyes through the recovery in sales of Venus consoles.

“It is important to make good products, but we must also pay attention to marketing. The saying that the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley is not applicable to many fields in the future. We have to take the initiative and pay more attention to publicity and promotion. 』

One day later, just as Jin Shang, Hong Renquan, Tang Yu and others expected, after the revised performance forecast was announced, the company's stock rose by the daily limit for three consecutive days and officially exceeded the billion market value mark.

When the shipping and shipbuilding markets are picking up at a speed visible to the naked eye, the "additional head" business, which was not promising, actually exploded with strong combat effectiveness. No commentator said that the company was not doing its job properly.

If it can survive the cold winter period of the strong cyclical shipbuilding industry, open up new business lines, and be a white goods and consumer electronics company with great imagination, the valuation model will change. The price-to-earnings ratio of around ten times is obviously underestimated and will rise sharply.
