Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 294 Chapter 292 Facing the Future
A week passed quickly, and Masato Takeshita, who was not satisfied, simply took a private plane to China with Lin Qingqian.

"Shencheng Jiaotong University would like to invite you to give a speech. Do you want to attend?"

"Okay, agree to the request over there."

In order to enhance Xinghai Group’s influence in China, participating in university speeches is a very important way.

Young people refer to and learn from the practices of Bill Gates in his previous life, and aspire to become entrepreneurial idols for China's young people and elite groups.

"Why is it so enjoyable this time?"

Faced with his lover's doubts, Masato Takeshita responded straightforwardly.

"Xinghai Group is preparing to bet heavily on the Chinese market and needs greater visibility."

It has been more than a year since the donation was made and many people have already forgotten about it.

Masato Takeshita hopes to use his speech to awaken everyone's memory.

"Heavy bets?"

“Yes, a larger investment scale.”

After the chief architect's southern tour, the market economy status has been established.

If Xinghai Group wants to have better development prospects, it must invest more in China.

However, for the time being, Xinghai Group's investment is still mainly based on bank loans.

There is no way. The official value of the RMB is too high, and investing in Japanese yen or US dollars will result in huge losses.

Next year, the Chinese government will significantly devalue the RMB, which will be the best time for the Japanese yen and the US dollar to enter the market directly.

“Then I wonder whether we should acquire local assets or invest in building more factories?”

“We have both, and we never miss any opportunity to strengthen the company.”

Different subsidiaries of Xinghai Group will develop in their respective best models.

For example, Xinghai Life will mainly focus on acquisition and consolidation.

In particular, Xinghai Food’s beverage business will acquire soda factories and brands across the country.

It would be so great if we could acquire Jianlibao and Wanglaoji.

As for Xinghai Technology, its main focus is investing in and building factories.

Whether it is Xinghai Electronics' mobile phone and computer assembly factories, or Xinghai Foundry's wafer foundry and chip packaging factories, they all require heavy investments from the company.

"How greedy, huh."

The young man smiled and shrugged, "I can't help it. I need to eat."

The plane landed in Shanghai quickly, and then the two of them came to the government building accompanied by relevant leaders of Shanghai.

After a polite greeting, Mr. Zhu sincerely asked: "Too much of the company's income is eaten up by the workers' wages. I want to help the company reduce the burden. I wonder if Mr. Takeshita has any good ideas?"

"Every country has its own national conditions, and it is difficult for outsiders to interfere. The only thing I can think of is that reforms should focus on people's livelihood issues."

"If workers need to be laid off, it would be best if at least one member of each household still has a job."

"Shanghai is not a rural area. If the whole family loses their job, it is easy to run into problems."

The reform of state-owned enterprises in Shanghai in the last life caused tragedy, and finally it was changed into what the young people were telling.

At least one person in each family has a job to meet the minimum survival requirements.

"Very good advice, as expected of Mr. Takeshita."

Mr. Zhu nodded thoughtfully and decided to carry out reforms according to this concept.

After talking about the reform, the young man mentioned buying land in Lujiazui to build a high-end office building.

"Of course no problem, Shanghai welcomes any form of investment"

"Thank you, Mr. Zhu. Then our Xinghai Group will buy two plots of land. One will be used to build the company's headquarters, and the other will be rented out after it is built."

The office buildings in Lujiazui can be operated as ancestral property. The annual rental income will definitely be an astronomical figure in the future.

After chatting for more than three hours, the two finally said goodbye reluctantly.

The young man had a lot of things to do during his visit to China, so after inspecting the Shencheng Luggage Factory, Shencheng Food Factory and other companies, he couldn't wait to start giving a speech in the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Auditorium.

"Dear students of Shanghai Jiaotong University, the future pearls of society, I am Masato Takeshita, the president of Xinghai Group. Thank you very much for coming to my speech."

As soon as the young man finished speaking, many students applauded in unison.

"Wow, so young and polite."

"Yeah, it would be great if I could join Xinghai Group."

China is currently developing in a very distorted way, with first-rate talent going to foreign companies and second-rate talent choosing domestic companies. Therefore, almost every university elite is eager to work in a foreign company.

Of course, this is also related to salary and benefits.

Foreign companies usually have higher salaries and better benefits. The working hours alone can beat most companies in seconds.

Taking Xinghai Group as an example, most workers work on an 8-hour workday.

The only areas where working hours will be longer are scientific research and finance.

Of course, you can choose not to work overtime in these two aspects, but you will lose overtime pay and a certain amount of half-year bonus.

The young man was unaware of the whispers between the two little girls in the audience, so he paused for a moment before continuing.

"You all are among the best who were able to get into Shanghai Jiao Tong University. You are much better at studying than a Waseda graduate like me. So if I say something wrong, I hope you can forgive me."

Masato Takeshita's humility and low-keyness have won him unanimous favor from everyone.

Many students said loudly,

"Mr. Takeshita Masato is too modest. You are our role model."

"President Takeshita, you are too kind. We are embarrassed by what you said."

"Mr. Takeshita, please speak boldly. We will study hard."

……

The young man had already anticipated everything that was happening before his eyes. He waited until everyone's enthusiasm died down a little and then said with a smile.

"Thank you all for the compliments. Although I feel unworthy, since I have accepted the invitation, I can only force myself to talk about my thoughts on the future."

"The title of my speech today is China's development under scientific and technological progress."

Since the lecture is for Chinese students, it is natural to focus on China. This will remind everyone and give the audience the opportunity to achieve better development.

"With the development of chip technology, computers will be an inseparable tool for people in the future. It can be said that in the future, not knowing computer technology is basically equivalent to being illiterate."

"So if you want to develop in the future, you should at least learn the most basic computer operations. For example, you should be proficient in using office software on the computer and use the computer to make simple and easy-to-understand PTT slides."

"You may think that computers are too expensive and you can't afford them at all." "But it doesn't matter. The technological progress driven by science and technology will make the price of computers affordable for everyone."

"This time will not be too long, no more than 10 years at most."

The students of Shanghai Jiao Tong University are all elites, and their monthly salary is guaranteed to be over 10 yuan in 5000 years.

Not to mention computers, even more expensive cars are completely affordable.

"With the widespread use of computers, everyone's work will become easier."

“For example, if I want to find some information, I can do it quickly online without having to search all over the library.”

“As for students’ graduation theses, you can also check online to see if there are any overlaps.”

"Of course, you could also build a website specifically for searching for various papers. I'm sure schools would be happy to buy it. They could use it to check for duplication in students' theses and to access the latest research materials."

HowNet makes a lot of money every year, and the key is that it has no cost. The only company that is as shameless as HowNet is probably Visual China.

"In addition to searching for information, computers can also be used for various productions."

"Supermarkets can more quickly calculate the total price of products purchased by customers by installing computers. Factories can better monitor production by installing computers."

In order to develop the Internet cafe industry, young people popularized the functions of computers from various angles.

To this end, he even went so far as to reveal many future business secrets just to make everyone curious about computers.

The speech, which lasted more than an hour, ended quickly and the young people began the question-and-answer session.

"The male student in the black shirt in the third row on the left, do you have anything to ask?"

When he heard his name being called, the young man who raised his hand particularly actively couldn't help but grin.

"Hello, Mr. Takeshita. I am a senior this year. I also want to start a business after graduation. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"To be honest, I don't really recommend starting a business right after graduating from college. This is because most college graduates are just enthusiastic but have no idea about business operations."

"But since you asked, I can only give you a rough answer. I hope you can learn something from it."

Masato Takeshita first expressed his opposition, and then Shanshan talked about her own entrepreneurial experience.

"If you start working in the industry right after graduating from university, you will end up holding very practical invention patents like me. Once you produce related products, you can quickly sell them and make money."

"If this route doesn't work, then I recommend you go the OEM route."

"China has cheap labor, so we can definitely take on production orders from developed countries like the US and Japan. For example, we can help make clothes, or produce products like toothbrushes and toothbrush buckets."

"When you make enough money, you can even set up an electronics OEM factory to help companies in developed countries such as Japan and the United States assemble relatively advanced products such as computers and mobile phones."

China will become the world's factory. If students choose to start a business by outsourcing, they will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

After talking about the advantages of OEM, the young man also did not forget to talk about the pitfalls in this area.

"But when doing OEM, you must remember that you must not lose money first."

"For example, when receiving an order from abroad, you must collect a deposit equivalent to the cost. Especially when facing orders from less developed countries, it is safest to collect the full amount."

"There are too many pitfalls in the foundry industry. You never know when a customer will cancel your order."

Foreign trade orders will encounter countless problems, among which running away from the order is the most common phenomenon.

There are also some weirdos who will deliberately request a large number of orders for low-quality products.

If you don't want the full deposit, he will cheat and say he doesn't want it, and then try to lower the price.

Because it was an exclusive order, I couldn't find anyone else to take it, so I had no choice but to agree to the downgrade conditions.

Many people in India use this method to cheat Chinese sellers, and finally force everyone to choose to receive the full payment.

"Also, you have to learn to know when to stop. Many customers who are greedy for your capital will deliberately place large orders, and then make you lose money when you can't finish the work."

Combining his past life experience, Takeshita Masato talked a lot, describing all the advantages and disadvantages of the OEM industry in detail, and then talked about other aspects of entrepreneurship.

"Also, when starting a business with others, the equity should never be divided equally."

"Everyone has different ideas. If the shares of both sides are the same, disputes will arise. It is necessary to establish your equity advantage early so that there will be no constant quarrels at critical moments."

Starting a business with equal equity is the dumbest business model, and it is easy to break up. Because everyone has different ideas, there will definitely be constant arguments.

"In addition, it is imperative to maintain sufficient cash flow. Once a company loses its cash flow, it will not be far from bankruptcy."

After talking about starting a business, Masato Takeshita randomly selected a student to ask again.

"Hello, what do you want to ask this student?"

The girl in the red coat didn't expect that she was so lucky, and asked embarrassedly after a long time.

"Well, what I want to ask is, what kind of jobs are more suitable for girls?"

The girl in red is about to graduate from college and she wants to find a stable job.

"If you don't mind the low salary, civil servants and university professors are the best jobs. State-owned enterprises are slightly worse, but they are also very good."

"As for foreign companies and private companies, there will be dismissals. It's not stable here and requires certain abilities."

"As for careers, accounting is a popular field in this era. As long as you get the relevant certificates, you can easily get a good job."

In the 90s, China was in great need of accounting personnel, and even if one did not study well, one could find a suitable job quickly.

Unlike the 21st century, when accounting majors are rampant and it is basically impossible to find a particularly good job.

All I can say is that any profession depends on the times.

In the early 21st century, China's civil engineering industry was very popular, but in the 20s, it was a veritable dying industry. The professional line that once had a very high admission score has also become the lowest level.

"HR is also good, but you need to find the right company. If the company is good, your job will be easy. If the company is bad, you will easily become unemployed."

"So when looking for a job, you must pay attention to the company's performance. If the company has poor performance and can't change it, don't ask for it."

China is about to enter a phase of major reform of state-owned enterprises, and entering an enterprise with poor performance is a complete pitfall.

There is a high probability that you will be unemployed this year or three to five years. Even if you are not unemployed, it will be difficult to find a job.

"I hope everyone can pay more attention to the news in Shanghai. After a while, everyone will know why I do not recommend entering state-owned enterprises with poor performance."

Mr. Zhu is very resolute and decisive, and Shanghai is destined to become a testing ground. I just hope he can really listen to him and follow the route of at least one employee on duty in each company.

"As for the more lucrative industries, they require a lot of computer knowledge. If you know how to program, or make chips, your salary will be very high."

Xinghai Group will start a larger-scale expansion next year, and China will also have larger laboratories.

On the one hand, it saves employee costs, and on the other hand, it increases the company's intellectual attributes and accelerates its development.

time does not wait.

If we don't develop in the early 90s, we will pay a higher price in the future.
