Like a ray on the back, like a fishnet on the throat!
The two idioms of Guan Yujia, a timid, charming and beautiful young woman, are undoubtedly very accurate.
Jing Gao's position is the center of the entire Phoenix system, and since he officially broke up with Ren He in early November, his life in the past few months has basically been related to business. Moreover, they are all "fighting" with the Galaxy Group.
As a powerful person, Jing Gao never wanted to make his life like this! During the period around the Spring Festival, he had a deeper thought. His life will be divided into two parts: work and life.
However, as part of the "job", what he cares about is not whether the business makes money or not, but "power"! Internally, what is required is control. Externally, the companies under his name are needed to influence more people.
The current situation of Phoenix Fund's subsidiaries and its related companies is that of "big but not strong"! The only thing that can be used is probably: Uber!
Of course, Phoenix Films performed well. After merging LeTV Pictures and Huaer Pictures, and then hollowing out "Haotian Pictures", they are basically among the top five players in the industry. However, this industry refers to the "film and television industry" and does not involve the brokerage, distribution, and media fields. Still far from being an entertainment tycoon.
Other businesses such as Phoenix Payment, Phoenix Finance, real estate, Xia Shang Textile, cultural tourism, hotels, clothing, medicine, sports, banks, venture capital, mobile phones, chip design, and manufacturing are all just a show, without achieving results or branding. .
In fact, it has been widely rumored that he is LeTV’s number two. If Uber fails to list on Nasdaq, or if its stock price plummets after listing and fails to reach a valuation of US$50 billion, then it will probably be rejected by the capital behind it and fired.
Jing Gao nodded gently, picked up the thermos cup on the oval mahogany conference table and took a sip of water, "Guan Guan, you continue."
He is still young and maintains a strong fighting spirit and firm will, so the second stage of the battle with the Galaxy Group is to open multiple "battlefields" to try to wear down Ren He's body. He learned from multiple sources that Ren He was the emperor of the Galaxy Group. And what would happen to his empire if the emperor fell ill and was hospitalized?
You only need to read history books to understand this.
Or, his tactic is called "stretching his wings". Galaxy Group seems to be surrounded by a large number of subsidiaries and groups in a fog, and its competition with Galaxy Group does not involve its essence and core at all. Then cut off his wings first.
The specific deployment is: cut off Yintian Group, Haiyi Group, Ronghe Group, Haotian Pictures and other companies.
The ones currently successful are Yintian Group, run by Renpai, Renpai, a relative of the Ren family, and Haotian Pictures, run by Wu Mian, Ren He's brother-in-law. In the former case, although the lawsuit was settled, Renpai's son Ren Chao was sent out of the country, and he bowed his head temporarily. The latter? Haotian Pictures has just recovered from the poaching of a large number of technical staff, directors, and actors.
Guan Yujia was wearing a light blue professional skirt. She was sitting at the conference table, opposite Jing Gao. She continued with a smile: "Brother Jing, if your news is correct, then if Haiyi Group can compete with us in the insurance field, The capital chain will definitely be broken by then, and there will be big problems. Ronghe Group is being squeezed by our partner Fangyuan Group. The information collected shows that Cheng Herong is under a lot of pressure.
In addition, Galaxy Group’s business in Southeast Asia is basically in its pocket. They plan to appoint Ren Zhi to Southeast Asia to manage enterprises such as mines, chemical plants, papermaking, and ocean shipping. Mainly playing the emotional card, has Guo Lingyu submitted an email plan to you? She thinks it’s not a big problem. Ren Zhi is no match for her.
So? We should actually consider how to solve the Galaxy Group’s final solution. "
Jing Gao tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the seat. At his level, there is no need to go into the minutiae of business operations, such as how to allocate funds, how to avoid risks, etc. But think about how to actually solve the problem.
"Youwei, please tell me what you think." Jing Gao flipped through the printed email in front of him. This was Guan Yujia's comprehensive opinion solicited from some Phoenix Group executives. There are currently no ideas that suit his liking.
Dong Youwei stayed in Shenzhen a year ago, mainly to deal with the handover of Vanke shares with Evergrande? It has not been completed yet. Involving more than 10 billion valuation shares, the handover will not be completed so quickly. He thought for a moment, "Mr. Jing, I listen to you."
He has only been with Jing Gao for a month or two, and his main energy is spent on handling daily affairs and how to please the boss and serve the boss. For example: arranging beautiful flight attendants on private jets and young beauties in villas.
How to deal with the Galaxy Group? As Jing Gao's assistant, of course he knew the grudges between the two sides and also knew some details of Jing Gao's orders. However, he often makes mistakes when talking about such a "big issue". He does not need to wear the hat of a "think tank", so it is better to be cautious.
Jing Gao was noncommittal and looked at Jiang Zi, the mature and beautiful assistant on Guan Yujia's left, "Jiang Zi, what do you think?"
Jiang Zi was wearing an old-fashioned black suit and uniform. She was a plump and mature woman with an elite look. She said straightforwardly: "Mr. Jing, your request is really too much. Since we want to dismantle the Galaxy Group, we must not use illegal means." Means, this is difficult.
First, our Phoenix Group cannot compete with the Galaxy Group for connections within the system. If you fight hard, you will lose. At most, you are just trying to protect yourself. We also have to face the difficulties brought by some operations of Galaxy Group at the regulatory level.
Second, the commercial competition between domestic enterprises and enterprises is nothing more than a few means. Tax evasion, safety and health inspections, these are all minor crimes. At most, the business will be suspended for rectification and fined. Unlike the beautiful country, tax evasion requires a prison sentence.
The more clever method is to win over the second shareholder to rebel, or find a way to break the opponent's capital chain. Or dig up talents and technology, and directly establish a company to compete with opponents. For example, white goods companies such as Gree and Midea are fighting fiercely. At that time, President Ren of Huawei was so angry that he was furious at the traitorous Huawei prince Li Yinan. He could only set up a special office to keep an eye on him. The main method was to steal business. Just like Renhe is doing to us now, using real estate companies to compete with our Xia Shang Real Estate.
It is difficult to see a situation in the United States where professional managers, shareholders, Wall Street capital, and competitors all work together. The holdings of major shareholders of domestic companies are basically very high. If the controlling stake is unstable, like Vanke this time, it will attract Baoneng to have regular scripts. It is simply not possible for us and the Galaxy Group to be like this.
The more sophisticated the method is, the innovation of business models or changes in industry laws and regulations can directly defeat the opponent. The rise of the Internet at that time created a group of rich people. Later, the mobile Internet trend created another group of rich people. But this is difficult.
Look, Ma Yun and NetEase's Ding Sanshi have been grudged for so many years, who can do anything to the other? Both of them are still in the Internet industry. Grudges that are not in the same industry are even more out of reach.
Therefore, our strongest method is to establish corresponding companies to compete with Galaxy Group's core business. And this may not do anything to the Milky Way. With a market as big as China, many industries can accommodate at least two world-class companies.
What's more, you want it as soon as possible. Business competition, according to the laws of industry changes, will always take three to five years. "
"So..." Jing Gao spread his hands.
Jiang Zi summed it up very well. From a macro perspective, when Chinese entrepreneurs become big and eventually fail, it is rarely because competitors dig a hole in their business or kill them in some way. Basically, it’s because of self-destruction, poor management, or changes in the industry!
Give a few examples. Mou Zhongzhong, the entrepreneurial idol back then, was a pure liar. Is there any natural reason for not closing the door? How can a Ponzi scheme survive to the end?
There is also Shi Yuzhu. His giant building keeps increasing its height, and the capital chain is broken.
Mobile phone manufacturers in recent years, such as Coolpad acquired by Jinggao, have been operating poorly and their market has been shrinking. It does not mean that a domestic manufacturer will sue you for infringement and violation of the law, and then compensate you and go out of business.
Although HTC's mobile phone sales were extremely hot that year, it sued foreign manufacturers for infringement and missed the market and development opportunities.
Of course, from a micro perspective, nearly 40 years of business history has left enough classic business cases of corporate failure.
For example, in the beverage industry, the battle between Chinese companies and foreign capital is a classic case. There are many business skills and methods in it. Another example is the gains and losses in competition in China’s automobile industry. There are also many business competition skills.
But, but... in the final analysis, to get straight to the essence, it is just pure competition in the commercial field. After all, it must be on the same track!
At present, Jing Gao and Ren He are simply competing for business. Why is this? It's not that both parties don't want to use higher levels of power to solve the problem, that's easy. It’s the balance that the struggle achieves.
As a third-year student, Jing Gao's power within the system is simply not enough compared to Ren He. What Jing Gao said in An Yi in front of Guan Yujia, Dong Youwei, Jiang Zi and other subordinates: The purpose of not eliminating individuals is actually because he was worried that Ren He's friends in the system would be angry after he won?
As for Ren He, his connections were used in the initial battle between Didi and Uber, as well as the subsequent business that broke out to suppress Jinggao. The height of the well was very uncomfortable at that time. He was just a hair away from going to jail. In China, fines for taxation, environmental protection, violations, etc. are very light, but when it comes to production safety and major accidents, they have always been very strict. However, Jinggao stabilized the situation by relying on huge investments in Magic City, Handong, Beijing and other places.
At least, he's safe until Igao's fab comes online. Don't worry about the pressure.
"Our competition with Galaxy Group is basically to establish related companies first, penetrate into their core business areas and then compete? For example, this time we are competing to acquire Xunzhi Pharmaceuticals."
Guan Yujia, Dong Youwei, and Jiang Zi nodded, "Yes."
Jing Gao knew that what the assistants said was true, but he was inevitably a little disappointed. It feels like he needs an "adviser" around him. These people are qualified as secretaries and assistants, and their execution skills are very good, but they are not good at planning and layout.
But no matter what, Phoenix Group still has an advantage in the current situation. In purely commercial competition, what is he afraid of with the unlimited card in his hand? A loss of one to two billion US dollars on a project is not fatal at all.
"It seems that it is impossible to do it as soon as possible. We can only do it step by step. Okay. Guan Guan, adjust the company's layout according to the suggestions. Spin off the Taichu Strategy Research Office and establish it as a think tank. Establish the Phoenix Group and transfer the remaining personnel are established as headquarters agencies.”
Within the past six months, the structure of the Taichu Strategy Research Laboratory was set up by Guan Yujia and initially operational.
So, they submitted a report recommending that he restructure the company.
The structure of a "consortium" is actually related to national conditions and the personal will of the person in power.
There are currently almost a dozen companies under Jinggao, not counting registered subsidiaries, branches, and affiliated companies. Therefore, according to the organizational structure of the consortium, this is inevitable. At that time, he followed the advice of his teacher, Professor Wei Shenliang, and imitated the structure of Samsung Group.
Because the problem he urgently needs to solve is how to outline, control and plan all companies. Samsung uses the "Samsung Future Laboratory" model to control and lead its companies.
However, there is a national condition in this. Some of South Korea's successive leaders over the years have suppressed chaebols. There was also the invasion of US capital during the Asian financial crisis. Therefore, the chaebols gradually reduce the equity holdings of their affiliated companies in the game.
The equity of Samsung Electronics, the core enterprise of Samsung Group, is dominated by American capital. It just means that the control of the company is in the hands of the Samsung Lee family. But as Lee Jae-yong takes over, the issue of control is very serious.
The Japanese consortium has always had cross-shareholdings, which is complicated and confusing, and its practices are the same as those of American-funded companies. It seems that professional managers are running the company, but in fact it is controlled by specific families. For example, we are familiar with the Mitsui Foundation.
In the society of this book, there are clear hierarchies. If you know a little about the society of this book, you will know. Their class is quite solidified.
The reason why this book does this is because they need to collectively pretend to be dead when the beautiful country puts pressure on them, so that the beautiful country can't find the specific person responsible. Collective responsibility means no responsibility. This book has Yingjiang garrison.
The current situation of Idaka is different from that of Samsung Group and Mitsui Consortium. His corporate structure currently does not require cross-shareholdings among its companies to hide him from the public eye.
The gameplay of this consortium. Gee, quite complicated. Maybe a small shareholder holding 3% of the equity of an obscure company may be the actual controller.
That's what he meant to do. But the time was still short, and when Didi competed with Uber, it was thoroughly investigated. And being attacked in the media is foreign investment. Although he himself refused interviews from all walks of life and learned from Mr. Ren of Huawei, his name was still exposed.
Therefore, he doesn’t need to learn about Samsung and Mitsui now, just come directly! This way the company operates more efficiently. The company structure directly benchmarks against the best domestic companies: Alibaba, Tencent, and Huawei.
The Phoenix Group headquarters was established, with various major business divisions (BGs) under it. Each company is under the jurisdiction of the business department.
Of course, as time and age grew, he still deliberately used cross-shareholdings to hide his name from the Phoenix Group's shareholder list. He doesn't like high profile.
Guan Yujia said: "Okay. I will arrange it. Who will be responsible for Phoenix Fund's acquisition of Xunzhi Pharmaceuticals? Will Mr. Cao be transferred back?"
"I'll do it myself. I'm going to Shanghai to take MBA courses in two days, so we can handle it together. But first, you can help me set up the acquisition team." Jing Gao raised his hand and looked at the time. It was 10:30 in the morning. " That's it for today. Jiang Zi, please stay for a while while I understand the situation at Uber."
