Chapter 1402 Ni Guangnan goes south to meet Mr. Yang!

Smart people will want to stay with Yang Ming, regardless of whether they can learn more. However, for them, being able to stay with Yang Ming is a rare opportunity.

Lin Zhiling may not have good academic performance, but she is smart in this regard.

Of course, this is what Lin Fannan hopes.

"Sir Yang, since the spirit wants to stay with you, then let her stay with you."

Lin Fannan knew very well that without Yang Ming's support, it would be impossible for him to become the king of aluminum products.

same day.

Lin Fannan brought Lin Zhiling over.

Then he went back.

This time, he brought Lin Zhiling to the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay, and then brought his wife, who had stayed in Xiangjiang for many years, back to Wanwan.

For Lin Fannan, as long as his daughter is by Sir Yang's side, he doesn't have to worry about business matters.

On the same day, Li Jiaxin and others had already learned that there was another beauty beside Mr. Yang. The most important thing was that this beauty was a rich man from Wanwan.

When Yang Ming was in the study, he only saw Yingla and Alina here.

Lin Zhiling was taken by Azhu and others to adapt to life here.

When Lin Zhiling came here, she stayed here not as a maid, but as a female assistant.

. . .

Have a night's rest.

Early the next day.

Yang Ming got up to have breakfast. Lin Zhiling originally wanted to follow Yang Ming to the Empire Group, but Yang Ming still asked her to stay at the Repulse Bay Mid-level Villa.

Yang Ming returned to the office of the chairman of the Imperial Group headquarters.

Lin Xiuzhi also brought some domestic information to Yang Ming.

What surprised Yang Ming was that the domestic economy is now dominated by health care products. In 1994, the annual turnover of this health care product had exceeded 40 billion RMB, involving thousands of companies and 20,000 to 30,000 products.

Yang Ming knew that most of these health products relied on a large amount of advertising to make money, and the most important thing was that they were very profitable.

However, in fact, most of these health products are just as long as they are not eaten to death. If you want to say what effect they have, it is more of a psychological effect.

At that time, Yang Ming considered that traditional Chinese medicine remedies were spread to the East in large numbers, so Yang Ming also attached great importance to traditional Chinese medicine.

Nowadays, many of the so-called health care products are derived from traditional Chinese medicine.

Now some people are suggesting whether Imperial Group should also establish such a health care product company in China, because it is too profitable.

Including Shi Yuzhu, who has developed to a certain extent in domestic Hanka, has now also begun to develop into health care products.

When Yang Ming saw the suggestion from the person below, he directly rejected it.

For Yang Ming, there are many places where he can make money, but he doesn't have to invest in it just because he sees it.

When most health care product companies have problems in the future, if he is involved, the impact will be huge for him and even the Imperial Group.

"Don't let the Imperial Group mention health care products in the future."

"Boss, are you saying this is a lie?"

"Pretty much, we don't need to make money from this."

Lin Xiuzhi and He Chaoluo think so too.

It is indeed too easy for Yang Ming to make money, but not all money can be made.

After denying the health products business, it means that the Imperial Group can no longer be involved in it.

It is impossible to relate to it now or in the future.

As for what others should do, Yang Ming would not be able to publicly say that those health products are deceptive.

After get off work that afternoon.

Yang Ming is ready to go back.

And Yang Ming received a call from Lin Dezhong.

"Boss, Mr. Ni is here."

Mr. Ni?

There is only one Mr. Ni that Yang Ming knows.

It was Ni Guangnan.

This time, Ni Guangnan went south to Xiangjiang to meet Yang Ming, of course there was something very important.

"I'm going back now."

. . .

Yang Ming took the car back to the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay.

After getting off the car, Lin Dezhong came over and said, "Boss, Mr. Ni arrived here at about four o'clock in the afternoon."

Yang Ming did not hear in advance that Ni Guangnan was going south to meet him.

However, of course, there was something very important for the other party to go south to see him this time. Otherwise, he could have waited until the end of September, when Yang Ming went to Yanjing to attend the National Day, and then meet again.

"Mr. Yang."

Yang Ming and Ni Guangnan were in Yanjing and met almost once a year.

Yang Ming always met each other when he went to Yanjing to attend the National Day.

At this time, Yang Ming saw each other again, and the two parties had been cooperative shareholders for many years.

Although Ni Guangnan doesn't have many shares in Lianxiang Company, he is now the general manager of Lianxiang Company, and he decides many things and company decisions.

In recent years, with the development of Ni Guangnan and others, Lianxiang Company is now the largest computer company in China.

However, Lianxiang today is different from Lianxiang in history.

Because Lian Xiang in history was led by Liu Chuanzhi.

However, now Lian Xiang has nothing to do with Liu Chuanzhi.

"Mr. Yang, I am going south to Xiangjiang to see you this time. Regarding Lianxiang Company, there are two very important things. I hope you can support me."

"you say."

"One of the things I hope is that the company can be listed in Hong Kong and Shanghai at the same time. Second, I hope to support Lianxiang in developing chips."

Listed?

Developing chips?

At this time, the nature of Lianxiang Company was considered by many to be foreign-funded, Hong Kong-funded, even joint venture, and privately owned.

However, in Ni Guangnan's view, this is a domestic computer and a hope for domestic production.

Now that Yang Ming heard Ni Guangnan talking about this incident, he thought of Lian Xiang in history.

Lianxiang in history.

There was also a fork in the road in 1994.

One of them was successfully listed in Xiangjiang, and Liu Chuanzhi also used this method to swallow up most of Lianxiang's shares and gradually controlled Lianxiang from behind.

Another thing is that the conflict and split between Liu Chuanzhi and Ni Guangnan started here.

Historically, Ni Guangnan was the inventor of Lianxiang Hanka, and he has always been regarded as a symbol of Lianxiang's high technology. However, around 1994, due to the upgrade of the software system, Hanka products were declining in the market, and their contribution to the company was already negligible. Ni Guangnan was determined to create a new technological commanding height for Lianxiang, and the direction he chose was "chips."

At that time, chip technology was changing rapidly internationally, and companies such as Intel controlled the direction of technology.

If Lianxiang can achieve a breakthrough in this field, it will establish its position in the global computer industry in one fell swoop.

Ni Guangnan was so excited about his discovery that he traveled to Shanghai, Xiangjiang and other places to recruit talents and established the "Lianhai Microelectronics Design Center" in an attempt to complete his achievements in one battle.

His idea was called the "Z National Core" project. Because of its unlimited imagination, it received enthusiastic support from the Z Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Electronic Industry. The Z Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Electronic Industry even promised that Lianxiang would take the lead and the organization would be strong. computer companies to participate in formulating a national investment plan.

However, Ni Guangnan's plan was unexpectedly opposed by Liu Chuanzhi.

In Liu's view, the chip project has huge risks and cannot be supported by Lianxiang's existing strength. The Z company is still unable to change the pattern of the world's computer industry in terms of technical background, industrial foundation, capital strength and management capabilities.

Ni Guangnan "really puts technology first and does not know what is going on in the entire market." Therefore, Liu Chuanzhi made it clear in a letter to Ni Guangnan that "I personally do not agree with the hasty launch."

According to his idea, Lianxiang should increase the creation of its own brand, give full play to its cost advantage, and implement industrial breakthroughs.

Therefore, he appointed Yang Yuanqing as the general manager of the newly established microcomputer division, and handed over the entire process of microcomputer to this young man in his early 30s.

In his view, "If you have high-tech products, you may not be able to sell them; only by selling them can you make money."

In this way, ten years of continuous thinking came to a turbulent fork in the road.

The relationship between Liu and Ni deteriorated rapidly. Ni Guangnan could not restrain his disappointment and lack of understanding of Liu Chuanzhi. Soon, every work meeting in Lian Xiang became a quarrel between the two.

These two leaders, who were very confident in their own judgments, could not convince each other at all. Liu Chuanzhi believed that Ni Guangnan was "messing around", while Ni Guangnan said, "I will never be done with you."

He began to accuse Liu Chuanzhi of his domineering style, and then accused him of having serious financial problems.

This close pair of "Gemini constellations" reached the precipice of separation between life and death, Liu Chuanzhi and Ni Guangnan. Liu Chuanzhi said sadly to his friends: "He will never stop until I am thrown into prison."

During the period of close relationship, "Liu Ni Pei" was talked about by the media. Liu Chuanzhi once said: "Some people are like pearls, and some people are not pearls and cannot shine like pearls, but he is a line and can shine like a pearl." String those pearls together and make a dazzling necklace. I thought, I am that thread."

This metaphor sounds very vivid, but there is an "image paradox": when the pearls are strung into a dazzling necklace, the thread will disappear. In fact, the "willow thread" is more beautiful than any other. All pearls must be dazzling.

The interaction and conflict of "thread and pearl" were realistically and cruelly interpreted in the Liu Ni incident.

At that time, the media also observed the rising Liu Ni controversy, which was considered a duel between the "market faction" and the "technical faction."

This embarrassing and painful quarrel for everyone lasted throughout the second half of the year. The Z Academy of Sciences sent a working group to investigate, and almost all senior executives within Lianxiang sided with the real Liu Chuanzhi.

The working group's report stated that "no material was found to prove that Comrade Liu Chuanzhi has personal financial problems." In order to avoid suspicion, Hong Kong businessman Lui Tanping was also persuaded to withdraw his shares.

By the beginning of 1995, the outcome gradually became clear. On June 30, Lianxiang's board of directors agreed to "remove Comrade Ni Guangnan from the position of chief engineer of Lianxiang Group Company."

The evaluation of any corporate strategic decision is a dilemma. "Results" are often the only basis for reference. It was later proven that Liu Chuanzhi brought Lianxiang to a new growth peak. However, in the following years, many people have been stubbornly arguing: If we continue in Ni Guangnan's direction, Lianxiang and even the computer industry of country Z will be in danger. What kind of scene is it?

For a long time, the computer and home appliance industries in Country Z have been swinging between the development priorities of "trade", "manufacturing" and "technology".

Lianxiang, like all companies in Zhongguancun, started by trading, gradually formed industrial manufacturing capabilities, and then sought advancement in technology. Companies such as Haier, Changhong and Kelon in the home appliance industry all started by introducing production lines, and then Successful in marketing.

Therefore, "trade, industry, technology" and "trade, industry, technology" are the two major growth models. Without exception, technology is the weakest and lagging link in core capabilities.

And when these companies gradually grow and compete head-on with multinational companies in the market of country Z, the status quo of technological backwardness becomes very clear.

At this moment, where to go is very sensitive and critical. In the corporate history of country Z, the dispute between Liu and Ni has a strong implication. It shows what kind of thinking and choices Chinese entrepreneurs make when facing international competition and technological development bottlenecks.

An unavoidable fact is that in the mid-to-late 1990s, almost all well-known entrepreneurs chose the Liu-style path. (End of chapter)
