Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Bao Zixuan is now considered a celebrity at MIT. After he proposed the genius idea of ​​Industry 4.0, he immediately received the attention of the school, and even many well-known professors joined the discussion on this topic.

After a week of studying, Xuan's theoretical knowledge and broad ideas were generally recognized by the classmates. Even after class, more and more people communicated with him, but everyone was new to him and didn’t understand him very well. Most of the topics discussed were limited to mechanical manufacturing and CNC machine tools. In fact, he also needs to observe the abilities of these people to see if they can be used for himself.

During the weekend, Bao Zixuan returned to the company, and next Monday was the day when the North American branch of Heiyun Company opened. As a boss, it is no longer possible for him to want to be the boss. After good performance in the Asian market and the Canadian market, after reaching an agreement with Pan Jianwen, Bao Zixuan transported 200 game consoles to Canada by plane; subsequent orders reached more than 4,000 units; however, subsequent orders can only be shipped by sea. , whether it is air or sea transportation, Bao Zixuan arranges for the company to pay all the freight. Pan Jianwen is a noble man who started on his own, and he should never forget his roots.

Heiyun's two games, Xiangjiang Cubes and Pac-Man, have made dealers in the world's largest market pay attention to Heiyun's developments in the US market. Many people wanted to get the agency rights before, and many companies and institutions even went to Xiangjiang to negotiate, but they refused on the grounds of production capacity issues and the fact that the chairman had to go to the United States to test the market in person.

I heard that the North American branch of Black Cloud Gaming Company will open in Cambridge next Monday, and flights to Boston are very popular these days.

Hashimoto Hiroshi is now taking Bao Zixuan to visit the company. In fact, Hashimoto Hiroshi sometimes laments that this young boss delegates power to a degree that he could not understand in RB's original company. The equipment only needs to provide one model or performance, and the others are ignored. And so far, they have basically not managed the company's decoration process and calculated the decoration costs. He and Furujo Jiro, an employee who had just joined the job less than a month ago, were only responsible for it, plus at most two bodyguards he brought. Although I did not commit corruption in the process, I was still often asked to go out for fun.

Bao Zixuan looked at this office building with a total area of ​​3,000 square meters. Heiyun was about to set sail in the United States from here. The company has changed a lot compared to a week ago. The door has been replaced with the Heiyun Company sign.

The first floor has been completely opened. In addition to the front desk and reception hall, there is a game experience hall covering an area of ​​500 square meters. This place is not open to the public, it is only for the company's engineers and agents to experience. Looking at the 40 temporarily assembled game consoles, Bao Zixuan went to experience them and found that the operating performance could meet customer requirements.

The second floor has been divided into a hardware office area, which will be responsible for hardware research and development in the future. Furujo Jiro was directly appointed as the supervisor here. The third floor is the software development department, currently headed by Hiroshi Hashimoto. The fourth floor is the conference room and the office of the company's management. Currently, he is the only one in management. The fifth floor is the area where the five of them rest, and the company provides accommodation fees if they don't want to live here. Currently, Hashimoto Hiroshi and Furujo Jiro still live in the company. Let's move out after getting a girlfriend, this is what the two of them think.

After visiting the company, Bao Zixuan came to his office on the fourth floor. Looking at the financial statements handed over to him by Hiroshi Hashimoto and Jiro Furujo, it was made by a newly recruited financial staff, a middle-aged woman in her 40s, adhering to the usual characteristics of Heiyun Company's recruitment, looking a little embarrassed, But for a start-up company, no matter how high the salary is, it is difficult to recruit female employees who are both beautiful and intelligent. When the beauty arrived, what did the boss think? Therefore, the female employees in Heiyun are all unattractive, but their abilities are indeed good, otherwise they would not be worth the salary.

Looking at this professional financial statement, Bao Zixuan was very satisfied with this financial staff. Clear organization and accurate data. This is the minimum requirement for a financial officer, but how many can do it?

The construction period was quickly met, but the cost was 1.3 times the normal amount. This is something that can't be helped. There are gains and losses. If you make workers work overtime as hard as they can, but your wages don't get much improvement, you can sue the workers to the union. American labor unions will teach you how to behave.

The production cost here is still much higher than that in Xiangjiang. But assembling 40 game consoles actually cost the same as the assembly cost of 150 to 180 units in Xiangjiang. In the future, we can only set up laboratories and R\u0026D institutions here, otherwise The cost is too high. Thinking about the popularity of the two games in other markets during this period, Bao Zixuan immediately called Zhao Tingting in Xiangjiang. He has a new plan.

After Zhao Tingting received the call from her boss, she began to introduce the factory's construction and production capacity to Bao Zixuan. Bao Zixuan is quite satisfied after hearing these.

Bao Zixuan: "Mr. Zhao, how many machines do we have in stock now and what is our daily production capacity."

Zhao Tingting: "We currently have 1,580 units of Xiangjiang cube game consoles in stock and 1,800 units of Pac-Man. We can produce 600 units every day with sufficient raw materials."

Bao Zixuan: "You should contact Air Freight immediately to transport 500 Xiangjiang cubes and 700 Pac-Man units to Boston, USA. They must be here next Tuesday. It doesn't matter if you spend more money. Start increasing the purchase of raw materials immediately. , and increase efforts to recruit workers, I will send 10,000 game consoles to the United States at once next time. You contact the shipping company immediately, and I will charter their ship to load our goods and reach the United States as quickly as possible."

Bao Zixuan handed over the task and ignored it, but in Xiangjiang Heiyun, the employees were risking their lives. A total of three Boeing 747 cargo aircraft were used to transport the cargo. This adds $200 to the cost of each machine.

Zhao Tingting came to Dongjia Shipping Company, which has long been operating shipping from the United States to Xiangjiang. In this era, there were four well-known shipping kings in Hong Kong. Dong Haoyun, the founder of Dongjia Shipping Company, is one of the four shipping kings. Nowadays, shipping has been a little tired due to the impact of the oil crisis, and Xiangjiang's export advantage has become less and less. Xiangjiang's shipping industry is not very good.

At this time, Tan Jiashun, the business manager of Dong Haoyun's office, was reporting to him. Tan Jiashun is 42 years old. He has never left since he entered Dongjia Shipping Company at the age of 16. During this period, he also attended marketing courses at Xiangjiang University. At this time, Secretary Dong Haoyun walked into the office and said that Miss Zhao from Heiyun Game Company came to see Manager Tan about something.

In fact, what Bao Zixuan didn't know was that Tan Jiashun and Zhao Tingting were half classmates. Zhao Tingting handed over all the shipping business of Heiyun Games to Tan Jiashun, but this was normal. After hearing the name of Heiyun Games, Dong Haoyun said: "It's the customer you just mentioned who has had a lot of business in the past month and has a particularly good reputation."

Bao Zixuan made the decision at the beginning that it could not default on such hard-earned money as freight and builder's construction fees. Therefore, no matter where the goods are shipped, Heiyun will pay half of the deposit first, and the customer will pay the balance immediately after signing for acceptance. He just wants to make everyone who works with him reluctant to lose him as a customer.

Tan Jiashun: "Yes, boss. This Miss Zhao is the deputy general manager of Heiyun, and he is responsible for the operations of Xiangjiang. She was my classmate when I was studying at Xiangjiang University. Their boss is now developing the US market, and it seems to be successful. Yes. They should be here to deliver goods to us."

Dong Haoyun said with a smile: "This is a good thing! Go quickly! Don't make people wait too long."

In the drawing room. "Why did Mr. Zhao come to my place today? I've invited you several times but you haven't come yet." Tan Jiashun said with a smile.

In fact, Zhao Tingting knew that she was in the company, so she had to address her formally, "I have something to ask Manager Tan for help! Why aren't you welcome?"

Tan Jiashun: "How could it be? You are now my God of Wealth. Tell me! As long as I can do anything!"

Zhao Tingting: "I hope to ship a batch of game consoles directly from Xiangjiang to the United States in 10 days, and the time is relatively urgent. I hope you can fully guarantee our freight speed, and do not want to transport other companies' things. You must fully protect us. Can it be done? We can pay more for freight. A batch of machinery will follow the ship back from the United States. The most important thing is that the amount this time is quite large, and it was ordered by the boss himself. "

Tan Jiashun: "The problem is not big, but how big a ship is needed."

Zhao Tingting: "Within 10,000 tons, it depends on how much we can produce these days."

Tan Jiashun: "That's no problem. We can do our best to protect it. Don't worry."

So the two communicated about the freight and time. Zhao Tingting returned to the company and immediately asked the finance department to remit a deposit of 2 million to the shipping company. It made Dong Haoyun want to see who the boss of Heiyun Company was. Doing business is so refreshing. This also left a good impression for Heiyun Games in front of all freight companies in Hong Kong.
