this man is not calm

Chapter 360 Secret Hand
It is not a bad thing for entrepreneurs to have sentiments, but employees who work hard may not have so many ideas. Just work a job and make money to support your family. This is the attitude of most people.

Although Jinshang has actual control over the shares of Jinxi Culture, Beichuan Mechanical and Electrical and other companies, they are not entirely owned by the bosses. Small and large shareholders, directors, supervisors, and employees who master core technologies and key positions all enjoy some rights and interests. .

The boss has the strongest influence, but that doesn't mean he will always stick to his word.

After the company's situation initially stabilized, the turnover rate also increased. It was close to 3% at the end of the year. Compared with peers in the industry, it was significantly lower, but it was still much higher than the original 1%.

The advice given by human resources is to eventually stabilize at around 5% and maintain normal metabolism.

Generally speaking, personnel changes in IT companies are more frequent than in traditional industries. Especially for private companies like Jinxi Culture, which have not been established for a long time and have little history, it is more difficult for talents to return. Even if they offer higher salary, it will not be better. How many.

If it weren't for the blessing of "gold fingers", it wouldn't be surprising that the turnover rate would double.

The camp is made of iron and the soldiers are flowing water.

People come and go, and it is almost impossible to get everyone to completely agree with the boss Jin Shang.

Keep people with benefits, keep people with friendship, and more importantly, keep people with a bright future.

There is no room for promotion on the platform, there is no hope for development, and there is no sense of expectation. Talents who are capable and motivated will definitely change jobs and leave.

After listening to his son's brief self-reflection, Lao Jin touched the back of his head uncomfortably.

"You think so deeply, I don't have much to say. During this period, I have a lot of things to do. The garment factory needs to increase production, and the fresh food supermarket, hot pot city and Uniqlo all have urgent expansion needs. I missed this rapid development. In the future, it will be difficult to change the inherent industry structure.”

"Pay attention to brand reputation, this is fundamental."

"I know that there was a lot of surplus in the past year, so I won't fish for profit."

In the third natural year since the International Trade Organization officially began to operate, the power of the division of labor in the global integrated market began to emerge. The originally tepid domestic textile industry's demand suddenly became strong, and drove a series of daily chemicals, light industry and retail sales. The market develops and grows.

There is no need to consider the relationship between supply and demand. As long as it is produced, it can be sold.

In the ready-made garment market, hundreds of millions of pieces are shipped to the international market at every turn. Lao Jin’s garment factory is considered a leader among private enterprises in the western region of Beijing. In the midst of the country’s magnificent export wave, it is a small and inconspicuous area. spray.

Benefiting from this, the planting areas of cotton and other cash crops in the central and western regions have expanded rapidly. If this momentum continues, half of the world's land will be occupied in less than ten years.

Contrary to the common sense of the general public, common commodities such as oil, sugar, and cotton are strategic materials that are not exposed at ordinary times. Once the international situation begins to become unstable, they serve as a well-deserved reassurance and ballast.

This is a historical opportunity around the millennium. Lao Jin went to some foreign economic and trade conferences from time to time and chatted a lot with colleagues. He was more or less aware of the general trend, and his vision and overall view were much improved.

"The majority of the cost of garment manufacturing is labor. I plan to introduce a batch of automated equipment to assist production and increase labor recruitment..."

"You can introduce high-tech equipment, but don't be blind. Many small and medium-sized manufacturers have gone bankrupt because they were too radical and did not take advantage of the construction of unmanned chemical plants."

Jin Shang couldn't help but warn that the expansion of production must be scientific and standardized, and cannot be fooled by many so-called gimmicks.

A counter-intuitive truth that is often unknown.

Mechanical automation factories are more economical and must meet certain conditions. In most small and medium-sized traditional industries, so-called high technology is not used at all. As long as there is a large number of hard-working skilled workers, supplemented by some customized power tools, the efficiency is better than that of a swarm of bees. It's even higher for large machines.

This is true for most industries that cannot achieve complete mechanical automation, such as garment manufacturing, leather, and handicraft industries.

Not only garment manufacturing, but also upstream circular knitting, computer embroidery, towel curtains, etc., have a high degree of automation and are still inseparable from manual labor. On the contrary, the quality requirements for turners and mechanics are higher, and their salaries are not low. The workshop working environment cannot be as casual as before. Taken together, it is indeed stronger than before, but not a huge difference.

It is precisely because his family is engaged in this industry that Jin Shang knows more about it.

"I'm more cautious than you. I won't be blinded by money and do inappropriate things for no reason. The failure rate of domestic machinery has not dropped to a satisfactory level. We can try out some automated production and train qualified skilled workers, but it is far from a large scale. Replacing manual work... is still a long way off.”

Lao Jin spoke very frankly and did not have any unnecessary thoughts because of his son's words.
"The cost of land and labor in western Beijing has also increased. I plan to build factories in second- and third-tier cities around Gyeonggi, or contract out factories that are not operating well to do OEM work."

"Make money and get land on the way?"

Jin Shi smiled and said nothing, nodded slightly, acquiescing to Jin Shang's judgment.

To be honest, leaving the capital is like going from an international metropolis to a small third-tier county. The gap is quite large. Land prices are cheap, labor costs are low, there are basically no complete industrial parks, and the limited number of large factories are basically for local leaders in Beijing and Tianjin. Ministry of enterprises provide supporting services.

Industrial transfer does not only happen between countries. It is normal for the eliminated production capacity in first-tier cities to be transferred to second- and third-tier cities.

The textile industry, a traditional industry with relatively low added value, is not impossible in the western Beijing area. It can increase capital and expand production on a large scale, but it is better to move to surrounding areas.

Of course, there is never too little of land resources. Taking this opportunity to get more in hand will give you more room for operation in the future. Even if it doesn't seem to be of much use now, it doesn't mean that it will be in the future. There is no development value.

From Lao Jin's words, Jin Shang understood that the export trade business must have been quite hot last year, and many people made money.

Lao Jin, who has been in financial difficulty for half his life, feels that he has never fought such a wealthy battle. With money in his hands, he naturally has more ideas.

After repeated warnings not to be too radical, the father and son talked about the current problems of Jinxi Culture.

Being held on fire, unable to advance or retreat, is Jin Shang's self-perception.

It is too difficult to go further. With the size of Jinxi Culture, any forced expansion will inevitably cause a larger-scale rebound, but there is no way to retreat. Once the front line is loosened, it will be defeated thousands of miles away, resulting in a huge defeat.

"It is impossible to conquer the weak, but the strategy of attacking across the board needs to be slightly modified. Now, the company's main 'ecological chain' is almost complete, able to form a minimum self-sustaining cycle, enhance resilience, and have a strong ability to stalemate with opponents. As long as we persist, we will definitely win. However, we cannot wait passively. We must find one or two areas to focus on and attack. We do not seek a fatal blow, but seek to disrupt the situation. Our side is united, but the opponent is a tacit alliance of a ragtag group of people. Once external forces If it weakens, you will be in a fight."

"Taking it out of chaos, Cao Cao wisely destroyed the Yuan family?"

"Correct!"

At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, Yuan Shao died of fear after being defeated in the Battle of Guandu. Cao Cao relaxed his offensive and allowed Yuan Shao's sons to fight among themselves and destroy themselves. Then he captured Qingjiyou and merged the four states without any blood, and won a great victory.

If there is external pressure, the weak will inevitably unite to resist, but once the threat disappears, internal conflicts cannot be suppressed. Jin Shang's strategy is not so passive, but an overall stalemate on a long front, and only attacks at certain key points.

"After the leasing rights are auctioned in the car trading market and the funds are recovered, I will directly initiate the acquisition of Fetion..."

"Hey! Can you buy it?"

"Most likely it won't work, but... the breeze ruffles a pool of autumn water, causing ripples and disturbing people's hearts. It's enough. I don't know, it would be even better if there are smart people bidding with me to win it."

It's not impossible to compete head-on with Fetion, which has a state-owned background, but some unscrupulous tricks cannot be used.

Even if it is not sold to Jinxi Culture, if it is bought by someone else at a high price, it means that the company and Telecom will not have any conflict of interest. This is a great thing!

"In the past, no one realized how much Fetion was worth or how important it was, or they didn't make up their mind to integrate it. But once someone jumped the gun, everyone couldn't help it."

Jin Shang talked eloquently,
"In a rapidly growing incremental market, having competitors is not a bad thing. They can help me heat up the market. The process is irrelevant. If I achieve the final victory, I will naturally take everything."

In the field of instant messaging, there are only two serious players.

If no one follows the offer, Fetion will be acquired by Jinshang. After the integration, there will really be no rivals in this segmented track.

As for the attitude of Telecom, no matter what, the impact is not particularly big.

It doesn't matter whether you are willing to sell the best or not, just let those who are interested in making money in this industry realize how valuable it is.

Can’t be cashed out, is it difficult to make a profit?
That's the next step. After dominating the market, it's just a game of beating the drum and passing flowers. Add zero to the purchase price, then double the price and sell it to cash out.

"How much are you prepared to pay?"

"The first quotation is 1.5 billion... no, 200 million, let's ask for directions and explore the situation."

"You are so willing!"

"If you buy it for less than 500 million, you will make a profit. If you buy it for 1 billion, it will be a bit of a loss in the short term, but in the long run, it is still a good deal."

Xiao Jin, who smiled narrowly, teased,

"The breeze is blowing, the waves are calm, if nothing goes wrong, everyone is always staring at me, and the pressure is quite high. Strengthen your colleagues, roll up, don't be idle all day long, always thinking of finding trouble for me ”

“If it’s of this magnitude, it’s almost time for mid-sized capital to consolidate.”

Kintoki, who was stroking his chin and thinking slowly, said,
"It's time to make big news. Since Jinxi Mall raised 300 million yuan, there has been no explosive news for more than a year. It makes everyone think that the Internet is just portals and e-commerce, which is indeed too narrow."

As for how to set up a stage to sing, the details are secondary. The key is to stir up the news before the Spring Festival.

"Don't mention that, what you just said is that running a power plant is not that simple, right? She may not understand, but I know a little bit..."

"Oh?"

"Natural gas can not only be used to generate electricity, but is also an important raw material for manufacturing fertilizers. Your subsidiary Beichuan Electrical and Mechanical has a chemical plant. Although it is small in scale, its main business is paint and marine chemicals, but it also includes chlorine chemical and fluorine chemical projects. "

After a pause, Lao Jin lowered his voice and said,
"Natural gas, energy, coal, oil, can be easily transferred to basic chemical industry, and even... modern chemical industry."

"It seems you really understand."

Jin Shang smiled reservedly.

I won’t mention the specific process flow. The route mentioned by Jinshi is indeed feasible, but it requires investment in research and development. Having a foundation is better than making something out of nothing.

The modern chemicals mentioned by Lao Jin directly point to silicon materials, that is, industrial raw materials such as monocrystalline silicon and polycrystalline silicon. The lower quality ones can be used for photovoltaics, and the superior ones point directly to wafer factories and chip manufacturing.

This is consistent with Jinshang's IT industry strategy of advancing software and hardware side by side.

Nowadays, the international community is increasingly discussing low-carbon environmental protection, and the demand for clean energy such as photovoltaics is growing. It was around this time in the previous life that photovoltaic fever emerged in North America. Thermal power stations, wind power, rooftop photovoltaics, etc. were developing in full swing, and they were no different from the domestic momentum twenty years later.

There is nothing new in the world, just photovoltaics. In more than ten years, a number of rich people have been created, and not even one or two people have become the richest people.

"You are really big-hearted. You will definitely make money in the long run by building a few gas-fired power plants. But betting on photovoltaics and semiconductors is unpredictable. After all, your second uncle has a hard demand for fertilizers. Making money is a high probability event. Losing money is a high probability event." You won’t lose much, but the risk you take is greater.”

"It's okay. It's not like I'm going all in. I'm still young. Looking at this industry in terms of ten years, the pressure is not particularly great. In short, I will definitely build power stations and data centers. There are two reasons. My uncle shares the pressure and provides cover for my hardware strategy, why not? "
-
On Friday, after sending his girlfriend Li Xuan to work, Jin Shang rushed to the Beichuan Electrical and Mechanical Headquarters without stopping. Before the board meeting, he stopped by to visit the samples at the maritime exhibition.

In the model honor room, Hong Renquan and several senior executives led the chairman to inspect. Tang Yu, secretary of the board of directors, enthusiastically gave Jin Shang some popular science.

What VLCC, ULCC, probably a large oil tanker, what the hell is an FPSO, an offshore oil storage barge without power, why is it made in the shape of a ship instead of a more convenient tank?

There are also AHTS, dredgers, crane ships, piling ships, mixing ships, etc. I have only a little knowledge of them, but I have no idea where shuttle cruise ships are shuttled.

On the other hand, the wave-piercing catamaran, which looked very modern at first glance, was quite beautiful. Jin Shang couldn't help but look at it a few more times and thought to himself, it would be quite interesting to turn it into a luxury yacht.

Bei Chuan Electrical and Mechanical, which has been established for many years, has built many ship types. Nowadays, many of the technical drawings are still there. With the loss of engineers and senior technicians, Hong Renquan cannot guarantee that all ship types can still be built.

However, plans to restart dry bulk carriers and container ships of less than 100,000 tons next year have been decided.

The shipbuilding industry is a highly cyclical industry. It is normal for profits to be less than 100 million yuan or even losses for many consecutive years. In a booming year, it is possible for a single quarter's net profit to exceed 1 billion yuan.

If it doesn't open for three years, it will last for thirteen years.

Now, it’s time to make money in an expansion cycle again.
