Chapter 155 Hong Kong Annual Meeting

Back in San Jose, as soon as Zhang Lexing entered the house, Yang Xinxin came to visit.As soon as she entered the room, she handed a stack of materials to Zhang Lexing, and said, "Brother, I think you should have the idea of ​​learning to drive during this time, I know you are a little afraid of driving, here are the materials of several driving schools , you can learn it specifically, maybe you can overcome it.”

"Sister Xin, but I'm going to Hong Kong again in two days, I'm afraid I don't have time to study for the time being." Zhang Lexing took a look at the materials and put them on the square table next to him.

"It's okay, don't worry, you can go again when you have time. But you have to remember to pass the written test before the road test, and then you can get the official driver's license after passing the road test within one year. Both the written test and the road test There is no limit to the number of times, as long as you can pass, so you don't have to worry." Yang Xinxin explained.

"So that's the case." Zhang Lexing nodded, and said, "Sister Xin, why don't we talk about it when I come back, I believe I can find the time."

"Okay, younger brother, you can arrange it yourself. But it's really much more convenient after you pass the driver's license test. You can drive wherever you want, and you don't need to rely on others. And for you, younger brother, it will be more convenient when the two of you live together. Don't worry about being disturbed. Well, I'll go first and have a good rest." After speaking, Yang Xinxin turned and left.

What Yang Xinxin said when he left really moved Zhang Lexing, especially the sentence "It will be much more convenient when two people live together", which moved him even more, and he seemed to lose so much interest in learning to drive in his heart. conflict.

After a short rest for a day, on January 1th, Zhang Lexing drove to San Francisco International Airport and boarded a flight to Hong Kong, preparing to attend the annual meeting of the Oriental Industrial Group held there.

……

Due to the slight delay of the flight, by the time the plane landed at Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong, it was already 1:18 p.m. on January [-]th local time.

The temperature in Hong Kong at this time is about the same as that of San Jose. There is no need to add or remove clothes after getting off the plane, and the journey is quite comfortable.Zhang Lexing and two accompanying bodyguards walked out of the airport terminal, and not far away, they saw a large group of people coming to pick up the plane, including Zhang Lexing's own assistant Yan Ruofei, Dongfang Holdings' administrative secretary Du Anqi, and Antaida's security guards. A team of bodyguards sent by the company.

Seeing Zhang Le walking out, Yan Ruofei waved his hand and said, "Boss, the car is here!"

Hearing Yan Ruofei's greeting, Zhang Lexing dragged his suitcase and walked over.When they came to the car, a group of people got into the car one after another, and Zhang Lexing also got into the Mercedes-Benz S600.As soon as he sat down, Yan Ruofei took a few folders and also sat in.After Yan Ruofei sat down, he patted the driver's seat, the car quickly started and drove away from Kai Tak Airport.While driving on the road, Yan Ruofei opened the folder and began to report to Zhang Lexing on the preparations for the company's annual meeting.

"Boss, the annual meeting will last for three days, starting from the morning of the 19th and ending on the 21st. The number of people who will attend the annual meeting is finally determined to be 120 people, including the microelectronics, electronic entertainment, and media companies established by Orient Holdings. , animation, consumer goods, consumer electronics, software, finance, real estate, investment and other nine major business divisions and company executives, its subsidiaries Dongfang Microelectronics Co., Ltd., Dongfang Electronics Entertainment Co., Ltd., American Activision, British Eidos, Asia Interactive, Starry Sky Media, Kunpeng Animation, Jiamei Toys, Baofeng Electronics Factory, Rising Sun Software, Le Yiyang, Kingsoft, Yulefang, Oriental Real Estate Company, Dream Fund, Lianbo Fund, Desheng Fund, Oriental Copyright Exchange Co., Ltd. principals, and representatives of the directors of Standard Chartered Bank.

……

In the afternoon, each business division will discuss future business strategies with the industry companies they manage. On the 20th, the nine business divisions will organize the research results into a report and submit it to you for final approval.If necessary, on the 21st, you can also interview the representatives of your subsidiary companies alone...

Boss, this arrangement is basically like this. Do you think there is anything else that needs to be adjusted? "

"Since the arrangement has been made, let's do it like this, there is no need to adjust it." After Zhang Lexing finished speaking, he leaned back on the seat, closed his eyes and meditated.

Seeing that Zhang Lexing closed his eyes, as if he was planning to take a nap, Yan Ruofei immediately took out the thin blanket prepared in the car, and carefully covered Zhang Lexing.The car didn't stop until it reached the gate of the Peninsula Hotel. This time, it was the same as before, and Zhang Lexing was arranged for the same suite as before...

In the morning of the next day, after breakfast, Zhang Lexing arrived at the conference center of the Peninsula Hotel under the arrangement of Yan Ruofei, where the company's annual meeting was held.At 59:120 in the morning, Zhang Lexing walked into the conference center, and by this time all [-] participants had arrived.At nine o'clock, the company's annual meeting officially began. The first person to take the stage was Hua Ziqing, the general manager of Orient Holdings, who will be in charge of hosting today's meeting.

"...Today, we gathered here to grandly hold the annual meeting of Orient Industrial Group, which was held after major adjustments to the business operation. In the past year, the entire group has achieved leapfrog development. Not only continue to move forward in the original field, but also expand the group's business to the media, consumer goods, finance and real estate industries...

So everyone has struggled for a year, how is the business situation?Next, each business department is invited to come to the stage to introduce their business conditions one by one according to the previously agreed order. First of all, Chen Bangguo, the representative of the microelectronics business department, will speak. Welcome everyone. "

Amid the warm applause from everyone, Chen Bangguo walked to the speaking seat on the stage, took the microphone from Hua Ziqing, tried the tone, and then began to say: "Leaders and colleagues, hello everyone. I am from the Microelectronics Division Chen Bangguo, let me introduce to you the business situation of the group in the microelectronics industry last year. In 1994, the factories under the group produced a total of 530 million ICs, and 490 million ICs have been delivered, of which 290 million R-3000A They have been delivered to Sony’s game machine production factories one after another. The annual revenue totaled 15.033 billion Hong Kong dollars, and after deducting costs and related expenses, the annual profit was 5.3 million Hong Kong dollars…”

After talking about the data he had in one breath, Chen Bangguo heaved a sigh of relief, stepped off the stage and returned to his seat to sit down.Since the establishment of Dongfang Industrial Group, it was the first time to hold such a formal corporate annual meeting, and he had no idea how the data he presented could be ranked in the group.

The second person to come on stage was Xu Yeming, the representative of the Electronic Entertainment Division. He took the microphone and said: "In 1994, the group completed the acquisition of RB Capcom, which strengthened the company's strength in game production and distribution. At present, the group's It already has a number of professional game production companies all over the world, as well as three professional game distribution companies, Asia Interactive, Activision and Eidos. Last year, the distribution companies under the group released a total of 187 games on various platforms throughout the year. The game production company has a total of 95 titles, achieving cumulative sales of 6150 million sets. The annual revenue is 191.88 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the annual profit is 76.752 billion Hong Kong dollars after deducting various expenses and expenses.”

Xu Yeming was very confident. The data of his department was definitely at the forefront of the group, and he might be ranked first. Looking at the surprised expressions in the audience, he walked out of the speech seat satisfied.

Dai Shihua is the representative of the media department. When he heard about the situation of the microelectronics department, he still felt that the gap between his departments was not too big. But when Xu Yeming from the electronic entertainment department said it, he was dumbfounded. The gap between departments is not even one star and a half.He was a little embarrassed to go on stage, but he couldn't back down under the expectant eyes of everyone, so he could only bite the bullet and walked up to the speaking seat.

After taking over the microphone, Dai Shihua stabilized his mood, and said: "The Media Business Department completed the acquisition of two newspapers and three magazines in 1994, and established the Shuxiang Newspaper Industry based on this. Television, combined into Star Media. Last year, it achieved a total profit of 1993 million Hong Kong dollars..."

After Dai Shihua stepped down from the speech seat, Chen Lianming, the representative of the animation business department, came up immediately. He seemed to be in a good mood, and he made a small joke, which caused the audience to burst into laughter, before he started his speech: "At present The group already has a number of professional animation production companies and publishing companies in Hong Kong, Taiwan, RB, South Korea and other places, including animation distribution, adaptation authorization and peripheral authorization. The annual revenue was 198.9 billion Hong Kong dollars and a total profit of 75.96 billion Hong Kong dollars... "

The data from the animation business department once again aroused the exclamation of some people in the audience, but Xu Yeming, who was still a little smug just now, frowned, thinking about how to increase the intensity of development this year.

Shen Meiqin, the representative of the Consumer Goods Division, appeared on the stage next. She looked very humble, and after bowing, she began her report: "The goal of the establishment of the Consumer Goods Division is to explore direct sales of animation and game peripherals. At present, the group invests in the establishment of Including Jiamei toys and a clothing design center. Last year, through sales of design and self-production and self-sale, the annual revenue was 26.33 billion Hong Kong dollars and the profit was 10.25 billion Hong Kong dollars..."

Yuan Yiqing, a representative of the Consumer Electronics Division, took the stage, took the microphone and said: "At present, the group owns a comprehensive consumer electronics design center and a number of consumer electronics production plants. The main products include learning machines, electronic dictionaries and VCD-related spare parts, etc. , and achieved a total profit of 1994 million Hong Kong dollars in 1.1..."

The software business department has not been established for a long time, but the software companies it manages have been around for quite a long time, and the profitability has been increasing steadily year by year. Ranked third, so she was in a good mood when she came on stage.

Clearing her throat, Liang Xinfang took the microphone and said: "The group owns Sunrise Software, Le Yiyang, Kingsoft, Yulefang and other software companies. At present, the business has spread to the mainland, Hong Kong, RB and other places. In 1994, the whole The annual sales revenue is 102.58 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the total profit is 41.33 billion Hong Kong dollars..."

Then it was the turn of Tang Lishen, the representative of the financial business department, and Liang Jun, the representative of the real estate business department, to speak on the stage. However, these two companies have not been established for a long time. The biggest achievement of the financial business department is the acquisition of shares in the hands of several small shareholders. The number of shares held by Standard Chartered Bank has gradually increased from 19.3% to 26.8%, but the profit is not much. Although Standard Chartered Bank also has a turnover of tens of billions of dollars a year and a profit of more than one billion dollars, in order not to affect The operation of Standard Chartered Bank, through the dividend distribution of Orient Holdings, is only 13.2 billion Hong Kong dollars a year.As for the real estate business department, since the management company has not been established for a short time, apart from the money spent on land acquisition, it has not had any income so far, so there is nothing to say.

The last person to take the stage was Zhang Wenshan, the representative of the investment business department. He is not a very serious person, but he still said with a smile on this occasion: "At present, the group has three investment funds, Dream, Lianbo and Desheng. , stocks, futures, real estate and other markets and investments in specific patents, realized a total profit of 1994 billion U.S. dollars in 36.8, which is equivalent to about 286.26 billion Hong Kong dollars according to the current market price!"

"Hiss..." There was a gasping voice in the audience. Almost everyone was shocked by this figure. Before the electronic entertainment and animation business department's revenue of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars was already very enviable. Unexpected investment The business department is so profitable, and it is not surprising that one department has more profits than all previous industries combined.

However, Zhang Lexing will not be surprised by this. Although the profit of the entire Oriental Industrial Group in 1994 was 65.55 billion US dollars (approximately 511.352 billion Hong Kong dollars), it was equivalent to the 240 billion US dollars of the speculative fund hidden in RB. than nothing. RB’s speculative fund is ostensibly a hedge fund registered in Bermuda and headquartered in New York. Its public name is the Montera Foundation. It can’t be seen from any public information that it has any relationship with Zhang Lexing. Even the fund's traders don't know anything about it.On weekdays, most of the funds of the Rimontara Foundation will be scattered in the RB market, wandering around like piranhas looking for everything, once they find an opportunity to attack, they will immediately swarm up and bite the target Decent and impeccable.Occasionally, the Montara Foundation will also move to the markets of other countries, such as the pound sterling in 92 and the Mexican peso last year, and the Montara Foundation also took advantage of the chaos to pick up some bargains.However, the most he does is to buy short and sell short in the RB market, or forcefully buy certain companies that he likes and sell them off. Zhang Lexing seems to be a "leech" active in RB, sucking the flesh and blood of RB and supporting him. Own.

After the reports of each business department were completed, Zhang Le walked to the speech booth and made a concluding speech. In fact, there was no substantive content. The company knows who is their boss, and Zhang Lexing must do so.

After eating the uniformly arranged working meal at noon, everyone was divided into nine groups according to the industry they belonged to, and discussed future business strategies with their respective business departments in different conference rooms.Due to the scattered discussion, Zhang Lexing also had no resources to spare, so he could only release his assistant to follow up on the discussion, while Zhang Lexing himself came to the sub-venue of the Electronic Entertainment Division.
