this man is not calm

Chapter 311 Sprint
After chatting about business matters for a while, the mother and son were not really interested in this topic.

Father and son each have their own careers, which is much better than doing nothing and being idle.

Mei Xinghong often wanted to care about Jin Shang, the eldest son who had not taken much care of him since he was a child, but she didn't know where to start.

As children grow older, they no longer need the meticulous care and support of their elders, especially for Jin Shang, who is very precocious and capable. While parents feel relieved, their sense of participation and achievement is also close to zero.

"As a secondary agent, you are always under the control of others. Logically speaking, you should not invest so much effort. No matter from which level, mobile local calls seem to be useless. This time last year, it was a small improvement. Now your company Do you still need this kind of icing on the cake business?”

"It is true that as a downstream agent, there are some things that we cannot take the initiative in. But if we really grow in scale, we may be able to negotiate terms with basic operators based on market share in the future."

"If you can't get the qualifications and operate with a license, your company...Planet Intelligent Manufacturing is doomed to be inherently deficient."

"Everything depends on human effort. Just take it one step at a time. You won't lose money anyway."

In the future, the mobile Internet era is coming, and multi-network integration is the general trend. With the promotion of big data and artificial intelligence, it is not necessarily possible to take the lead.

“Time and energy are spent, and that’s the cost.”

This is just a difference of degree. The two daughters and the youngest "Er Hui" are both in school. They wish that their parents and elder brothers are not at home so that they can play leisurely.

"I don't have any big ideas. Let's make preparations first. E-commerce logistics needs to build a large number of warehousing and distribution outlets, which requires a lot of land reserves. Lao Huang's family may make strategic investments, so they need a platform for transfer."

In the general direction, Jin Shang controls the key and has uncompromising decisions. Many details are basically left to the senior executives to handle.

"It's okay. As the company has grown, there aren't many things that really require me to do anything. Most of the work involves socializing and negotiating. The rest is about making decisions. I'm busy but not hectic. I have to master the know-how and get used to it. That’s good.”

"It's not that exaggerated. It's not very far. You can drive back in half an hour."

"As long as you don't do real estate, I always feel that this business is a lot of trouble. If you can, try not to get involved. If you really want to do it, don't get involved directly."

"By the way, you said you bought a large flat in the city. How's it going?"

At this point, it is no longer possible for Jin Shang to come up with one or two fantastic ideas or tips from time to time and leave them to his subordinates to implement, so that the company can achieve great development.

Great-grandfather Huang Zhengkuo had long wanted to deepen the relationship with the Jin family and his sons, but he couldn't find a good opportunity. Jin Shang's career has been developing relatively smoothly for more than a year without encountering any major setbacks. Huang was waiting for a timely help. The opportunity has never come, and now we have no choice but to settle for the next best thing and integrate real estate at a discount.

"Just come back and take a look when you have time, lest Xiao Jinfeng disappears after a while and doesn't recognize you."

In fact, the choice of most directions does not have a decisive effect, that is, the difference between excellent, good, qualified and unqualified. For the company as a whole, it is a matter of making more or less, or losing or losing, and does not affect the overall situation.

In fact, someone recently approached Jin Shang and wanted to do private equity. He would go to the international market and follow the "big crocodiles" to "hunt" in the loophole financial market, that is, to snipe at the stock market, exchange rate and bond market. The risk is very high. Whether he can make a profit or not is another matter. It reveals a very bad character and is detrimental to the future industrial layout. Therefore, after careful consideration, Jin Shang did not follow.

Ever since their mother Mei Xinghong came back, the nephews and nieces who had no control over them had completely let go and had a relaxing life. Of course, the price was quite high. I heard that "Er Hui"'s final exam results this year were a mess. , I didn’t do any homework during the summer vacation, and played games with my friends all day long. My mother was so angry that she almost burned her schoolbag when she returned home to rest. She gave her a severe lesson, and she is now making up for her lessons at home.

"You, it's good to be decisive. It's not good to have too many ideas. It's not personal because of business. Your second uncle's 'Big Gray' is actually quite good. He's honest and the family often gets together."

"I heard that you plan to start a real estate development company?"

Make full use of the collective wisdom, and then use your own vision and "golden finger" tips to be the best one.

Wei Shuangping and Jiang Long are handling the specific matters, and will report them to Jin Shang for decision only after they have a preliminary cooperation framework.

However, the cumulative impact of countless trivial things can indeed play a huge role in the end.

I have a lot of cash in my hands. In addition to a lot of fixed expenses, my deposit balance is still growing steadily. I still have some losses when I buy all low-risk bonds. Buying some real estate with good liquidity is also a good investment.

"It's rare to find a suitable one. I'm asking someone to make inquiries to see if there are any good properties. It's not urgent. It's just for convenience, and it's not necessary to buy it."

Including Jinxi Culture and Beichuan Electromechanical, Jin Shang's daily work is to determine whether the application submitted by his subordinates is approved or rejected, or to choose the most appropriate one among several suggestions.

"I see."

There are many ways to take advantage of real estate, and you don’t have to do it yourself. There are many related industrial funds and financial products on the market, but Jin Shang is too lazy to research them.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. When autumn comes and the weather is not so hot, let's find a place to go out as a family. Go to the north to soak in hot springs, or go horse riding in the northwest. There are many resort islands in Nanyang."

"Besides, you two, father and son, are so busy, you may not have time then."

Mei Xinghong chuckled and shook her head.

This big family is more or less obsessed with work and career, but not so keen on traveling.

Neither Jin Shi nor Jin Shang inherited Mrs. Xian's troublesome gene.

"When little Jinfeng gets older and stronger, we can think about this again."
-
In late August, although the hottest time of the year in Beijing has passed, the summer heat has not subsided much. The outdoor temperature is still above 30 degrees for most of the day, and it is only cooler in the morning and evening.

During this period, after the reorganized Planet Intelligent Manufacturing Co., Ltd. took over the home appliance and consumer electronics business of Beichuan Electrical and Mechanical Co., Ltd., in order to promote the next heavyweight product - the official version of the home game console Venus 2 plus, it was a headache. Especially for the previous-generation products in stock, a lot of painstaking efforts have been taken to clear the inventory and withdraw funds to prepare for the next business.

Not only that, PHS, which is about to go public, also has a lot of troubles. Recruiting a large number of after-sales service personnel will require a lot of investment to be ready. In addition, the promotion of mobile devices and recharge cards also requires a strong local promotion team to execute. Neither Beichuan Electromechanical nor the current Planet Intelligent Manufacturing has the strength in this area. In order to ensure the smooth completion of the work, Jin Shang even hired Li Xuan She and her staff responsible for offline life were transferred to help, and they were able to barely stabilize their position.

The discounts in online shopping malls are constantly increasing. In order to make a good turnaround in the summer, not only e-commerce platforms are carrying out activities, but offline stores are also following up.

The low-priced game console Venus finally sold out at the beginning of this month.

Before he could get his money back, Hong Renquan pledged his accounts receivable, took out a large loan, settled on leasing the slipway, and then applied to the bank with the order. Thanks to Minxing Bank, the financing went smoothly. many.

Covering the originally planned expenses and freeing up some space for additional PHS promotion, Jin Shang, who had been worried about Planet Intelligence, breathed a sigh of relief.

Hong Renquan has rich experience and has been at the helm of listed companies for many years. He is very skilled in the capital market and has various financing methods, which really amazed Jin Shang.

"Professional matters should be done professionally. 』

As long as the first batch of PHS machines are sold and payment starts to be collected, which will indirectly drive the development of Jinxi Culture's other Internet businesses and form a virtuous cycle, Jinshang will be free to focus on content and lay a solid foundation for the company's development. .

Technology research and development is the first priority, while culture and brand are the strongest weapons to deepen the moat and maintain operations efficiently.

For example, "Foreign Girl", a realism-themed work co-operated by Jinxi Culture and TV stations, became very popular after it was broadcast. It not only won the attention of many ordinary people, but also was full of praise from colleagues on the cultural front.

The TV series has won many well-known awards in a short period of time. It is not only popular in China, but has also been introduced to many surrounding countries, and its reputation is not bad.

Not only that, many actors in the play have also won a lot of attention and their fame has soared. Even the female singer who sang the theme song "I Don't Want to Say" has ushered in the second spring of her career and frequently received invitations for commercial cooperation.

As for the sitcoms "I Love My Family" and "Family with Children", which were filmed and broadcast step by step, they have set up a golden brand for Jinxi Culture.

What comes out today will definitely be of high quality and will be of great benefit to future development.

Unfortunately, the movie "Drunken Master" starring Dai Yiqin still did not catch up with the launch of the game console Venus 2 plus, so it had to be scheduled to be released after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The filming of the high-anticipated TV series "The Strange Case of the Song Dynasty" has also come to an end, and post-production is about to begin. The broadcast platform and time slot are still being fought for. There are many popular dramas at the end of the year. It is hard to say whether it can grab a good position.

After arranging many things, Jin Shang and Hong Renquan went to inspect the production and assembly workshop, checked the warehouse stocking, and tried out the effect of the prototype.

"Because PHS has a contract to boost it, I'm not too worried. In one month, or at most two months, sales will definitely exceed 2 million. Considering the scale of the pilot, there is a great chance of success. Next, there is Venus Well, the failure of the first-generation game console was not due to the fault of war. It was not how poorly we did it, but the competing products of our competitors happened to be good in this field. In comparison, it seemed that we were not good enough. The second-generation console is a first-generation console. The upgrade and performance improvement are still great. The key is that we have outstanding supporting games, cross-platform promotion, and online and offline joint marketing. The elements for success are basically complete..."

At the final mobilization meeting, Jin Shang said this to the company's employees.

The category of game consoles does not have decisive strategic value, but it is indispensable as the icing on the cake. Especially since Jin Shangcheng has the idea of ​​"building an entertainment base", electronic games are an area that will definitely be involved in the future, and it will provide the company with a large number of cash flow to support a large number of technicians.

Mid-level cadres in various fields, including development, sales, and warehousing, are facing serious challenges.

We have been preparing for the second-generation machine for nearly a year. Not only have we developed a large number of supporting games in advance, such as "The King of Fighters", "Dynasty Warriors", "Resident Evil", etc., they are very popular. In order to promote them, the parent company even invested heavily Make movies, produce special novels, comics and animations, connect upstream and downstream channels, and even prepare discount coupons for publicity and distribution.

Even the newly adopted "godson" PHS didn't receive such treatment. For the game console, the two business entities really spared no effort.

If we don't do well this time and we can't make a good start for future Mercury second-generation machines, I'm afraid half of you here will get out.

It is an ideal saying that things can only be done three times. Failure once is an accident. After learning the lesson, they fail the second time, but no one will pay for their failure.

The game consoles released this time are divided into two grades. The classic version (basic version) is priced at 1999 yuan. The price is less than yuan, which is still affordable for a slightly wealthy family. Taking into account the discount, it is estimated to be yuan. It's around yuan, and it also comes with some cassettes, which is a good deal.

The deluxe version (with extras) is priced at 2199. With all the discounts, the price can barely reach less than yuan, which is still acceptable.

Mobile phones (PHS), game consoles and home appliances are the "troika" of Planet Intelligent Manufacturing. Direct profits are supported by game consoles and cassettes. Mobile phones (PHS) are the upper limit of the future, and home appliances support the lower limit.

Jin Shang himself rarely participates in such events like swearing-in meetings, and rarely makes grandiose promises, but this time he is unprecedented. In order to boost morale, everyone will work hard in the next few months, and he is anxious.

"If this one doesn't make a big profit, I'll have to release another album to boost my business." 』

The income from the last album "Because of Love" and the dividends from Dai Yiqin's masterpiece "The Goodness of a Man" are not yet warmed up, so I invested more in it. If it really failed, it would undoubtedly be heartbreaking.

When returning, Hong Renquan finally brought good news, which made Jin Shang, who had been a little angry recently, feel a little relieved.

"The Yongdong side relented and promised to provide facilities for building a ship repair dock in Dinghai. There is also a small inhabited island that has been partially moved over to build a large shipyard."

"Oh? That's a good thing. Is the transportation convenient on the island?"

"There are regular speedboats coming and going. It is suspended on windy days, but it is usually very smooth."

"Three communications and one leveling, tax incentives, labor recruitment, financial support, infrastructure construction, etc. can all be discussed."

The strategic direction of Beichuan Electrical and Mechanical is to go south, be bound to the local area, share weal and woe, and develop collaboratively. In the future, it will involve billions or even tens of billions of big business, and the conditions must be negotiated in advance.
