I asked you to save a bankrupt factory and you became the richest man in the world.

Chapter 291 Chapter 141-142: New progress in Hillhouse’s overseas expansion! (Two chapters in total)

Gao Huaijun didn’t pay much attention to the market’s reaction to Hillhouse’s folding screen.

There are a lot of good people in this world!

These people, seeing that others are doing better than themselves, will do everything possible to consume you and torment you in the name of caring for you, causing you to lose the aura of success and become as mediocre as themselves.

In this way, they can make up for their despicable self-esteem and cover up their own incompetence.

Therefore, in this world, no matter how well you do, you can't stop other people's mouths!
Therefore, Hillhouse Technology is still busy working on the research and development of Hillhouse folding screens at its own pace.

It's now ten o'clock in the evening, and the headquarters building of Hillhouse Technology is still brightly lit.

As usual, there were already a lot of taxis lined up quietly on the sparsely populated road downstairs of Hillhouse Technology.

It can be seen that all departments of Hillhouse Technology, especially the folding screen R&D department, are still working overtime.

Hillhouse’s conscious overtime work is very serious!
One is that the performance appraisal every six months is directly aimed at management and ordinary staff!

Spending tens of millions, although this is just a small detail, it can greatly increase the favorability of employees.

And this D is equivalent to a warning. If you get another D, you will be forced to resign.

According to the proportion, no more than 5% of them will be given D.

However, the reason for resignation on the resignation certificate can only be written: Unable to perform the job and was fired!

What other companies may take three months to complete, Hillhouse Technology may even be able to complete in less than one and a half months.

For example, Hillhouse's snack area, as well as super-large underground parking spaces that guarantee free parking for employees and partners, and a series of actions that cost money but may not bring good results, he all spend money on. Once done.

Therefore, this group of highly paid engineers will work hard to avoid becoming the terrible D.

For a company to achieve this level, it is considered the ultimate in humanistic care!

This is why Gao Huaijun is absolutely reliable in this regard, and it also makes several companies in Hillhouse, although they compete with each other, the cohesion of the team is so strong that they cannot be ignored.

Of course, their resignation conditions are also very generous, and they are automatically given N+2. There is no need to talk about this.

Hillhouse has conducted research on these snack areas and found that after one year, only new employees will come here to taste these snacks and drinks frequently. After two years, their interest will not be too great. The cost is only tens of millions.

Tonight, Min Weiguo didn't leave, Shang Yayan didn't leave, and of course Gao Huaijun didn't leave either.

This is Hillhouse-style speed.

He likes to make money, but he doesn't keep it in his own pocket.

Every floor, like Guge Company in Beautiful China, has a 24-hour snack area, where not only drinks are free, but also more than 100 kinds of snacks and fruits!
After these snacks and fruits are finished, the logistics department will take the initiative to add more, so there will never be a day when they are finished.

At Hillhouse, Gao Huaijun treats his employees really well.

Gao Huaijun dare not say that he has superb management skills like Kazuo Inamori of Kyocera, the god of management, but he is definitely a very reliable boss in China.

The pie he drew for his employees will be fulfilled even if he works hard!
When he is needed, he will rush forward desperately like an ordinary employee, but he will coordinate all resources and even take the initiative to increase related resource allocations.

This also doubles the goodwill of these programmers who are working hard on the front line of technology.

Do you work overtime until 11 o'clock every day?
Sorry, I moved the camp bed to the company, so I will sleep directly in the company this month!
In this very tense and extremely involuted state, everyone works like clockwork and the pace of work is very fast.

After Gao Huaijun finished the sumptuous dinner in the cafeteria, he ate an exquisite fruit salad. Gao Huaijun felt good about this combination of Chinese and Western dining methods.

Because they know that it is really difficult to meet such a generous boss after leaving Hillhouse!
Work hard and it will be normal for you to have a sister-in-law in the coming year.

At this time, the R&D teams of Gao Huaijun and Ding Peng had just finished a plan correction meeting, and Jiang Yun, the head of marketing at Hillhouse Technology, had finished two portions of roast goose and pig's trotter rice by himself. After eating and drinking, he came to Gao Huaijun. "Mr. Gao, you happen to be in the company, and I will discuss with you the latest situation of Hillhouse Technology's overseas expansion."

Gao Huaijun handed a large pile of information to Shang Yayan, then nodded, "Okay, wait for me, you guys will wait for me in the conference room first."

After Jiang Yun went out, he softly talked about the OA process at hand. If he felt there were problems, he told Shang Yayan one by one, and then asked her to help him handle the OA process.

Until now, Hillhouse has become a huge group company with tens of thousands of people. In the OA process, basically more than 70% of the ordinary processes will not be transferred to Gao Huaijun.

He will only review several major directions such as guidance on major projects, cooperation with margin financing and securities lending, and approval of important personnel.

Otherwise, if you find him with those trivial things, you will be exhausted!
In fact, the bosses of many companies like to do everything themselves. They are worried that the management below will fool them and earn their pitiful scumbag money.

How tiring!

Mom-and-pop shops, father-son soldiers, brother gangs, alumni, roommates, and comrades all form alliances to start businesses. This is the prototype of many private enterprises. Its premise is a deep-rooted historical imprint: family culture, which extends to blood or quasi-blood relationships. acquaintance culture.

Precisely because he is one of his own - his son or "adopted son" or "quasi-adopted son" - he has full trust, full delegation of power, and no doubt in employing people...

But the results are often tragic.

The core point is that the quality of the core employees of Jiatianxia may not be sufficient, which leads to very strong limitations when the company develops to a certain extent.

So what Gao Huaijun wants to do is to only recruit college students who have just graduated from college!
Because he knows.

When a person reaches around 35 years old, his worldview is almost finalized. At best, he is mature, but at worst, he is worldly and sophisticated. He will instinctively resist anything that is different from what he knows. You have to give him It is generally difficult to convey and instill ideals and missions and make them accept new values.

So who is more willing and easier to be "brainwashed" by culture?
Of course young people!

This is similar to the military.

The most striking feature of the military organization is: the soldiers are all young people!

The October Revolution, the May Day Movement, etc. are all miracles built by young people.

As for Hillhouse, Gao Huaijun believes that they can create their own miracle.

【Chapter 142】

After Gao Huaijun finished explaining the matter, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, and this round of communication meeting about Hillhouse Technology going overseas began.

It was already 11 o'clock. Gao Huaijun did not embarrass them and asked them to briefly explain what measures they had taken to go to sea.

According to Jiang Yun, Hillhouse Technology has now taken substantial steps in going overseas! Now Hillhouse has found the two largest mobile phone agents in Taiguo and Malaya, the two most important mobile phone markets in Southeast Asia.

After they saw the performance of Hillhouse Mate5 and Hillhouse Nova, they originally just acted as casual agents, with the attitude that if they can sell a machine, it is a machine.

But I didn’t expect that Hillhouse Nova and Hillhouse Honor Magic, two of Hillhouse’s flagship overseas products, would see explosive sales growth!
In Taiguo, sales increased by 550% in a straight line, and the two brands combined reached more than 3000 units a month.

In Malaya, sales have increased linearly by more than 1000%. Together, the two brands have reached more than 5000 units in a month.

After hearing the news, Gao Huaijun couldn't help but feel happy.

Hillhouse has been talking about going overseas for two years, but the implementation of going overseas has not been announced, which makes him secretly anxious.

If there are problems with Hillhouse's overseas expansion, then the listing valuation of Hillhouse Technology will definitely be greatly affected!
Make bricks without straw.

Even if Hillhouse Technology wants to inflate its valuation, it still needs to have basic points to help with the relevant tout.

If Hillhouse Technology's electronic technology products can only be popular in China and have great limitations abroad, then it will be basically impossible for Hillhouse Technology to tell stories.

But now that the launch time of Hillhouse Technology is getting closer, Jiang Yun gave him such a big surprise.

How could this not make him happy?
Don’t think that more than 3000 units or more than 5000 units are very few.

You know, these small countries have a population of just tens of millions.

With such a high sales volume, as long as it stabilizes, it can become the primary source of cash flow for local partners. On the contrary, it can directly control the channel dealers there by changing the host and customer.

Even pioneering big cities such as Mangu and Yajiada bypassed the big forces and directly opened Hillhouse's own direct-operated stores.

It’s not impossible!
Thinking of this, Gao Huaijun couldn't help but excitedly touched the jade ring on his hand.

Now these two large agents are preparing to promote Hillhouse Technology's products as S-class products together with first-tier brands such as Sansang and Motorola.

As a price, Hillhouse Technology's products will be exclusively distributed by these two large channel providers for four years.

But Gao Huaijun thought about it and felt it was worth it.

After Jiang Yun said this, several people in charge present were also very excited.

Exploring foreign markets is far more difficult than they imagined.

Chinese religious beliefs, per capita income, local conservative forces, and even electricity conditions are all core factors that restrict Hillhouse’s rapid development.

Now we can find two large-scale agents in these two countries, and they are in the form of hands-off shopkeepers, avoiding a lot of minefields.

Naturally, they feel that this job is worthwhile.

"This is a very good job, but one thing you have to remember is that we need to assist them in publicity and marketing. At the same time, we can help them follow up on our Hillhouse product after-sales training and our technical after-sales service. Engineers, you must do relevant voluntary work well. It’s okay if you don’t make money in the early stage, but you must make a good start.” After Gao Huaijun nodded, he said in a deep voice.

What he said was a painful lesson for his strength to overturn a motorcycle.

Lifan Motorcycles used a low-price strategy to open up the Southeast Asian market. Taking a curved-beam motorcycle at that time as an example, the island country's car sold for 2100 U.S. dollars, but Lifan Motorcycles only sold for 700-1200 U.S. dollars.

With its huge price advantage, the market share of Lifan motorcycles soared rapidly, reaching as high as 70% at its peak.

However, success is also low-priced, and failure is also low-priced.

Lifan motorcycles have significantly reduced their prices. For example, the price of the Lifan 110C motorcycle has dropped from 1400 US dollars to 600 US dollars.

As a result, Lifan's profits dropped significantly, and later it even began to lose money.

In order to reduce costs, problems such as cutting corners and neglecting after-sales service have become the norm. As a result, "Made in China" products such as Lifan have been labeled as shoddy.

In contrast, motorcycles from island countries have long service life and low fuel consumption. In addition, motorcycles from island countries have also launched cheap models, which have become the choice of everyone in Southeast Asia. Motorcycles from island countries have continued to squeeze the market share of Chinese motorcycles.

By 2013, Lifan’s market share in Southeast Asia was less than 3%.

What Lifan lost was not only profits and markets, but also its brand image!

All the responsible persons present couldn't help but nodded.

Hillhouse's requirements for high quality will even take the initiative to sacrifice its own profits.

Therefore, in the overseas market of Southeast Asia, they did not dare to take it lightly and make Gao Huaijun angry!
Immediately afterwards, plans were directly formulated in the conference room to attack Po County and Yue Neng, two typical markets with very strong Chinese social footprints.

In order to speed up the overseas expansion, Gao Huaijun decided that in addition to the preferential price for the first-level dealers in China, he could also reduce the selling price by another 10%.

This made the people in charge of overseas marketing present have to look askance!
Good guy, after this operation, the price has directly beaten the cost price to the point where the profit is only 5%!
This is definitely a price-for-volume exchange.

This is a high-quality condition that Hillhouse Technology has never had before!

Boss Gao, this is gradually shifting the focus from China to abroad, right?

Everyone present looked at Gao Huaijun in horror.

Boss Gao is also working hard for overseas markets!
After work.

"Mr. Jiang, do you think Boss Gao is a little confused for doing this?" Liu Yidao, the person in charge of the ink pad, asked as they went downstairs.

Jiang Yun did not answer, but the other person on the side was unhappy.

"Yidao, don't talk nonsense! Which decision made by Mr. Gao made a mistake? He dared to directly give up overseas profits, directly increase the volume, and also provide good after-sales service. That is to say, Mr. Gao has such courage! Zhang Mazi, the person in charge of Yue Di, who was standing aside, retorted.

The more difficult the market is, it is very difficult to develop now.

He wanted to open the North Vietnamese market first.

After all, North Vietnam used to be a handover county of China, and there is a large amount of Chinese blood left behind.

He has a natural affinity for China.

However, due to Hillhouse’s high selling prices, the results have not been very good.
