Chapter 469: Jiang Hui's Courage to Go All-Out into the Sea (Part )

The spring of 1989 was a time of great change.

As the spirit of the leaders' inspection speeches continues to spread, China has ushered in tremendous changes.

As Shenzhen is a city at the forefront of reform, the impact is naturally huge.

"Boss, the number of newly established companies in the city in the past month has been five times that of the same period last year."

“And this number is increasing rapidly.”

Yao Yiming happily took a piece of data to report to Liu Tianwu.

Although the number of enterprises cannot be directly equated with economic growth, the fact that so many enterprises have been added at once is definitely a good sign.

Even if these companies are small, after development in the next few years, some of them will definitely become strong and powerful.

At that time, the impact on Shenzhen was huge.

“Are there many people in government agencies willing to go into business?”

“If they can take the lead, the impact will definitely be greater.”

Liu Tianwu is very good at interpreting the superior policies.

Until the next few years, developing the economy will be the most important thing.

And what it means now is to encourage more people to do business.

Only in this way can the economy further develop and grow.

Considering the special history of the past few decades, doing business is still very stressful for many people.

To break the psychological burden of these people, it would be best to have a group of people who can take the lead.

Once an atmosphere is created where everyone is encouraged to go into business, the situation will become easier.

“All units are already working hard, and quite a few people are considering signing up.”

"Some units have even already completed the procedures for unpaid leave."

Yao Yiming felt that this matter was not a big problem.

If it were in an inland city, people working in government agencies might have more concerns about going into business.

But this is Shencheng.

We often come into contact with various companies, and our hearts have long been extremely stimulated.

Now they are on unpaid leave, which means everyone still has a way out.

If it doesn't go well, you can go back to work.

Such a good opportunity is very rare for many people.

"The government service center needs to do its job well."

“The procedures for registering a new company should be simplified as much as possible.”

"As long as the law does not clearly prohibit something, you can consider trying it."

"We strive to maintain an increasing pace of economic growth over the next three years."

Liu Tianwu is also a very thoughtful person.

Shenzhen's economic growth rate is already very fast and exaggerated.

If this increase can not only be maintained but also further accelerated, then his results will absolutely be dazzling.

By then, not to mention that he has a background, even if he has no background, he will continue to be promoted.

"No problem, I will communicate with the relevant department later."

When Yao Yiming was reporting this matter, he was also considering whether he could let some of his relatives go into business.

Or ask your sister to help you take care of some things.

Standing in his position, he can see many opportunities to make money.

However, due to the particularity of his position, he is definitely not suitable to do it.

Now that policies are in place to encourage people to go into business, many situations are naturally different.

He felt he needed to cherish this opportunity.

Since his family is rich, he can be more determined to refuse gifts from some people.

This way it is not easy to make mistakes.

Otherwise, you might make mistakes accidentally.

……

"Jiang Hui, I heard that many people in the group have resigned recently. They said that they all started their own companies."

The news of people leaving the BMW Group has been widely spread within the group during this period.

After all, there are people in almost every department who choose to quit their jobs to start their own business.

This will more or less affect the mentality of some people.

Although the overall work was not affected, Zhu Ling was a little worried after hearing about it.

"It is true, but I don't think it's a big deal."

"There are so many people in the group now, and some of them are definitely unwilling to keep working and want to be their own boss."

"If that's the case, then why not part ways amicably? Who knows, we might even be able to have a relationship in the future."

Jiang Hui is very open-minded about this matter.

The military camp is permanent, but the soldiers are transient.

As long as I am still here, there is no need to worry too much about the development of the BMW Group.

In large companies, many people are like screws.

It doesn't matter who leaves.

Although the BMW Group has not yet reached this level, it is almost there.

"Many of the businesses that these people founded after leaving their jobs are related to their original jobs."

“For example, the person responsible for designing bearings started a bearing company.”

“The person in charge of mold design went on to start a company that produces molds.”

“The guy who designed the fixture went on to start a company that made fixtures.”

"Some people who were responsible for equipment maintenance started a company that produces spare parts for the equipment."

“Many companies will become our competitors, right?”

Zhu Ling had obviously heard a lot of news.

That's why I'm so worried.

BMW Group has grown to its current size, and many people are envious and jealous.

There are many people who want to target it.

“It’s not that exaggerated.”

"It is possible that some companies will compete with our factories in the future."

"But I think it should be good for the development of our group."

"Let me give you a specific example."

Jiang Hui felt that it was necessary to dispel Zhu Ling's concerns, otherwise it would be bad if she lost her appetite.

"Some of my classmates who entered the company after graduation also chose to go into business."

"I guess you still remember the names of these two people. They are Zhou Zhigang and Xiao Jinming."

“Together, they formed a tooling company that specialized in making all kinds of stamping dies.”

"With the development of our group, it is impossible for us to produce all the molds ourselves, and there is no need to do so."

"Companies like Nanshan Technology also have a large demand for mold production, and there is no need to produce all of them by themselves."

"But this has a prerequisite, which is to find mold manufacturers in the market that can provide more cost-competitive molds with quality that meets the requirements."

"The emergence of Zhou Zhigang's mold company will enrich this market structure."

"By then, some employees of the company they have established will definitely leave and set up their own new mold company."

"A few years later, there were many more mold factories along this line."

"And if Zhou Zhigang and Xiao Jinming continue to stay in our group, they can also play a significant role."

"But the number of mold manufacturers on the market and the level of technological advancement will definitely be affected to a certain extent."

"In the end, we are the ones who may suffer the most."

Jiang Hui gave examples from this perspective, which made Zhu Ling a little dizzy.

But after thinking about it, it seems to make sense.

More people starting their own businesses means that the vitality of the market economy is becoming stronger and stronger.

As the largest enterprise in Shenzhen, BMW Group itself is a beneficiary of the market economy.

In this case, the stronger the economic vitality, the greater the ultimate benefits will certainly be.

"So we just ignore all that for now?"

"Yes, never mind for now. If it rains, and my mother wants to get married, let them resign."

Since Jiang Hui said so, Zhu Ling didn't want to worry about it anymore.

……

"Mr. Ren, we have hired two people from Nanshan Software to assist with programming tasks related to mobile communication base stations."

"I think we can consider developing new products of our own in the future?"

In a small factory in Shenzhen, Liang Hua of Warwick Technology was discussing company matters with Mr. Ren.

Warwick Company was established not very long ago, and in the beginning it accumulated its first pot of gold by acting as an agent for some products.

Now we are taking the path of imitating foreign products.

But Liang Hua felt that this path was not enough and it was necessary to deepen it further.

"A large number of new companies have emerged in Shenzhen during this period, and the local government has also introduced various support policies to encourage everyone to develop the economy."

"My next step is to contact Zhujiang Technology to see if we can start some cooperation with them."

"If they are going to produce computers and mobile phones, they will definitely hope that the domestic mobile communications market will develop rapidly."

"Their influence is much greater than ours, and I think it would be most effective to leverage their power to expand our products."

Mr. Ren’s vision is absolutely amazing.

In recent years, Warwick Technology has developed very rapidly.

Although their company's business has no direct relationship with the BMW Group, it is not true to say that there is no connection at all.

For example, the programmable switches used behind various telephones of the BMW Group are products represented by Warwick.

It’s just that after these businesses are completed by relevant units, each company can directly enjoy the results.

"It would be best if we could have a connection with Zhujiang Technology."

"We can even consider learning from Zhujiang Technology's development model and producing computers and mobile phones in the future."

"Especially the mobile phone business, which is highly relevant to our current business."

After being inspired, Liang Hua immediately had a new idea.

In Shenzhen today, all walks of life are developing rapidly.

Everything is full of possibilities.

As long as we seize the opportunity, the company's size may increase several times in a few years.

In later times, such a speed of development would be hard to imagine.

"I have analyzed and studied Jiang Hui's layout in recent years and found that as long as the fields he focuses on are concerned, they should be very promising."

"The automotive industry is a representative, and the semiconductor industry is also a representative."

"Now they are also working on computers and mobile phones, which is definitely a trend." "But it is not suitable for us to compete with them directly. Instead, we need to look for opportunities around their trend."

"Programmable control equipment and other related base station equipment are typical peripheral products."

"In a way, they produce goods and we provide equipment."

"This is something that can definitely deepen the cooperation between the two sides."

Mr. Ren has been in Shenzhen for several years and has a full understanding of the influence of BMW Group in Shenzhen.

I have a very intuitive understanding of Jiang Hui's abilities.

Since you can make a profit by following the other party's pace, don't hesitate.

"But we just poached someone from Nanshan Software. Will that make them unhappy?"

Liang Hua asked a little worriedly.

However, Mr. Ren has a more thorough understanding of the matter. "Even government agencies are encouraging everyone to go into the sea during this period."

"I heard that some employees from BMW Group also resigned to start their own businesses."

"I haven't heard of any related obstruction by them. Even some businesses founded by individual employees have received support."

"This shows that Jiang Hui is quite open-minded about the issue of employees leaving the company."

"At least Jiang Hui doesn't care until a company that can compete with them emerges."

Find useful information from various sources and then give analysis and judgment.

This is also a very rare ability.

There is no doubt that Mr. Ren has done a very good job in this regard.

After listening to these analyses, Liang Hua felt relieved.

……

"Xiao Jiang, you are doing the right thing."

"The trend of going into the sea has already started. If employees want to leave, it is meaningless to stop them."

Taking advantage of the opportunity to go to the capital for a meeting, Jiang Hui must have a good talk with his father-in-law.

On the one hand, it is to report on the recent development of the group and let Zhu Jiansheng know the information about the reform in first-tier cities in a timely manner.

On the other hand, I also want to grasp the content of some of the latest policies.

Behind the introduction of any policy, there is a brewing process.

Sometimes, this process is quite long.

If you can grasp some information in advance, it will definitely be very beneficial to the development of the company.

Jiang Hui did not intend to make additional profits for the BMW Group through these means.

However, the current situation has changed compared to the same period in history, and Jiang Hui’s personal experience may not always be applicable.

So it certainly doesn’t hurt to understand the situation in advance.

"Within our group, except for a small number of core technical personnel, other employees can come and go freely."

"Letting more people go out and have a look can help them feel our goodness to a certain extent."

"After all, if it is other companies, few have better conditions than us."

"If you choose to start your own business, you will have more things to worry about."

“Although there are many opportunities, not everyone is suitable for starting a business.”

"Among these people, there will definitely be some who succeed in starting a business, but there will also definitely be some who fail."

Jiang Hui gave his judgment very confidently.

"You have a point."

"After those people experience it firsthand, various cases will surely spread within the company."

"When the time comes, these people's words will be more convincing than anything else."

Seeing that Jiang Hui was really open-minded, Zhu Jiansheng felt relieved.

Encouraging people to go into business is in line with current policy. If Jiang Hui stops the group's employees, although it is not illegal, it will be bad if the news gets out.

"This group of people who have gone into business this year may become more representative in the history of China's economic development in the future."

“It is possible that some people will become more successful in the future, and even become representatives of the economic circle.”

"It's not a bad thing to have a good relationship with them."

"I plan to set up a venture capital company based on the timing and invest in some emerging companies."

Jiang Hui knew that he couldn't work in every industry.

In the next ten years, his base will not change significantly.

It will be enough to run BMW Group, Zhujiang Technology, Lingnan Semiconductor and Nanshan Steel Plant well.

Later on, when the technology accumulation reaches a certain level, we can consider other things.

In this case, it is naturally necessary to consider how to further expand one's influence.

In some industries, there is no need to set up a company directly to engage in them.

But various influences can be achieved through investment.

For him, making money is just a matter of numbers.

If influence can be achieved through indirect control, it is acceptable.

This way it doesn't seem too ostentatious.

If it is really like Samsung in Korea, where all industries are involved, it will definitely not work in China.

"Your consideration is quite innovative."

"Many entrepreneurs face financial constraints when they first start out."

"And the BMW Group is not short of money now. If they can just take out a few hundred million, there are a lot of companies that can be invested in."

"It's really worth doing it properly."

In 1987, the RMB was still very valuable in the country.

With an investment of several hundred million, a lot can be done.

After all, the start-up capital of many companies is only tens of thousands of RMB.

Even if only one out of ten invested companies succeeds, it still means a very high rate of return.

Especially since Jiang Hui knows some future development directions, the possibility of success will be higher at that time.

"Yes, but this area requires more professional and visionary talents."

"And it's not appropriate to go too big at the beginning. I haven't figured out the specific opening method yet."

Although you will definitely reap the benefits if you enter now, if you haven't helped some people hit the wall, all you can do is just icing on the cake, not provide timely help.

Everyone has a different mentality.

Therefore, Jiang Hui plans to wait one or two years before launching venture capital business on a large scale.

At that time, the situation was completely different.

"During this period, besides various entrepreneurial activities, are there any other special influences?"

Zhu Jiansheng stopped worrying about venture capital and started focusing on higher-level issues.

As the head of the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry, he has a lot of things to deal with every day.

Many times, you need to have a macro perspective.

"I feel that companies from America, Japan, Hong Kong, Europe and other places have arranged a lot more people to come to Shanghai and Shenzhen for inspections during this period."

"It is estimated that the next few years will also be a peak period for foreign-funded enterprises to enter the country."

“This will definitely be good for our economic development.”

"But it will certainly bring about a series of problems that require attention."

Jiang Hui thought of the practices of some foreign-funded enterprises in the 1990s.

Although they are doing things legally and in compliance with regulations, the impact is actually far-reaching.

For example, after foreign companies producing toothpaste came in, they began to acquire various similar domestic companies on a large scale.

Then after the acquisition, those domestic brands slowly disappeared in the long river of history.

Similar cases can also be found in other industries.

Simply considering the asset value at the time of acquisition, those factories may not have been sold at a loss.

However, considering that the asset values ​​of all industries in China were undervalued during this period, the situation is difficult to say.

Not to mention that a large number of local brands disappeared because of this acquisition.

Although some individual brands reappeared in the market more than ten years later, the world had changed by then.

"We welcome foreign investment into the market."

"But we are not particularly sure what to pay attention to."

"Do you have anything specific in mind?"

Zhu Jiansheng humbly asked Jiang Hui for advice on this matter.

He is very confident in Jiang Hui's ability in this area.

"The main thing is to pay attention to protecting your own technology and brand when cooperating with foreign companies."

"Especially brand value, which is something we pay very little attention to in our country."

“A brand with decades or even hundreds of years of history may be overlooked during the acquisition or cooperation process.”

"If we only look at the value of factories and equipment when cooperating, we will be at a great disadvantage."

"After all, our equipment is generally worthless."

Jiang Hui thought about it and felt that it was necessary to talk about it in detail.

He didn't even have the courage to make large-scale acquisitions of state-owned enterprises, but by the time they fell into the hands of foreign companies.

During this process, he would definitely make it a little more difficult for the other party.

At worst, raising the purchase price will allow related companies to gain more benefits during the cooperation process.

Otherwise, faced with fierce competition in the future, a number of companies will definitely fail to adapt to the changes in the environment and become unable to continue operating.

That would bring up another problem.

Although as a business head, Jiang Hui doesn't have to worry about these issues.

However, these problems will have an impact on the overall environment and economy, thereby indirectly affecting the BMW Group.

This is not the situation Jiang Hui wants to see.

“Brand value, that’s really an issue.”

"In a way, this is actually something similar to intellectual property."

"The level of attention paid to this aspect in China is indeed not enough."

"I will arrange for someone to conduct a special investigation and form a report to reach a consensus among the various ministries."

"When we cooperate with various foreign companies in the future, we should also refer to the common international practices and evaluation methods for brand value and consider it as a partner."

"In other words, we can just separate the brand and not cooperate with them."

"This way, if other companies are willing to pay a high price to acquire these brands, or if we want to continue to develop them, we will have more options."

Zhu Jiansheng quickly combined Jiang Hui's content and put forward his own ideas.

After spending so many years with Jiang Hui, many of his ideas have been influenced.

Although he is not very young now, his influence in the ministry is constantly increasing.

His superiors also have a very good impression of him.

Especially in the past year, he has made considerable achievements in the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry.
