Return to 2001 to pursue dreams

A delightful prank greatly satisfied Gao Hongda's desire for revenge.

After class, Roland called and invited him to visit the new office in the Tianzi Manor Villa. All employees would stay off work late to wait for their boss to visit.

Gao Hongda showed little interest, but Xia Sisi was extremely excited. She successfully declared her sovereignty in the class today, and the next step is to show off in his company. We must nip some unsafe factors in the cradle.

Today's eastern suburbs do not have the same congestion as they would have ten years ago. There are very few vehicles, and most of the people driving on the national highway are dump trucks transporting yellow sand and gravel. Seeing them busy, I feel even more eager to quickly operate the building materials warehouse. Every car is carrying money!

The villa that originally belonged to corrupt official Li Jianjun had a sign of Huake Investment Company hanging outside. The lobby on the first floor was converted into a collective office area, which was divided into twenty or thirty cubicles. The remaining rooms on the two floors were converted into independent offices. There were nearly 20 employees in all management companies. Under the leadership of Roman, they lined up to welcome the boss. When Gao Hongda and Xia Sisi came in, they seemed to be surrounded by stars, and their vanity was greatly satisfied.

Just like a leader receiving an international visiting group, Roland introduced the name and job position of each employee to Gao Hongda one by one. Gao Hongda shook hands with each one with a smile. As for the names, except for those who had met them, all the others He didn't remember. Memorizing people's names and phone numbers was his weakness. People he just met would forget their names within a day.

Although there are many management personnel, none of the positions are redundant. I have to admire Roland's management ability, hierarchical and divided management, each person's responsibilities are clear, and there are no redundant staff.

Roland asked Gao Hongda to say a few words. Gao Hongda was too lazy to talk nonsense and just said: "If you don't have Chicken Soup for the Soul, you will just work with the company without asking for room and board. The purpose is very simple, just to make money. When big rivers have water, small rivers are full. I declare, get off work!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then after a burst of applause, everyone packed up and left one after another. Roland stayed and took them to visit the president's office specially prepared for him. The decoration was not luxurious and the area was not big enough, but it had everything that should be there. This was enough. Gao Hongda sat down in the boss's chair, not to mention how proud he was. I really want to shout loudly: "I can have today! Xianyu can turn over! Thank you for being reborn! Thank you Nuwa!"

Before he could get enough, his cell phone rang. Chen Qiang, who was far away in Europe, told Gao Hongda on the phone that he and Li Ying would arrive in Shenzhen the day after tomorrow with an agent from a sales company in France to discuss the specific matters of USB flash drive export.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Hongda decided to leave for the airport early tomorrow morning to buy tickets. Roland shook the business card in his hand and said, "No need to bother, we can do it with just one phone call!"

Gao Hongda took the business card and it looked like it was an advertising business card given to people on the street in the square. It specializes in ticketing business, such as discounted air tickets. When he saw the name of the company, he wanted to laugh. It turned out that this The company's name is Ctrip. At present, this company is still in its infancy.

Xia Sisi entered the excitement mode again. She didn't even bother to eat that night. She broke into the supermarket and started preparing for her trip to Shenzhen. No matter how Gao Hongda explained that she was just there to discuss business and would be back soon, there was no need to be too nervous. , but she didn't care at all and prepared a whole box of messy things, the most of which were clothes.

We landed in Shenzhen in the afternoon of the next day. Although it was not summer yet, the hot and humid climate in Guangdong made the three northern visitors a little uncomfortable. They were all sticky and uncomfortable. The first thing the two girls did when they got off the plane was to find an authentic Cantonese restaurant and have a good meal.

Gao Hongda, who is supremely pragmatic, was a little overwhelmed by the cost of this meal. He basically didn't eat much. A thousand oceans evaporated after a meal of two girls. The names of those dishes that he couldn't even understand were so called. One is expensive. And the plate is very small.

But in the evening, the two girls regretted it. Deng Guoshun and others from Langke arranged a sumptuous welcome dinner. Looking at a table of exquisite dishes, they could only look at it eagerly, and they couldn't hold it in their stomachs. . Gao Hongda didn't fare much better either. He was so drunk by the local low-alcohol wine that his stomach was churning.

After dinner, Deng Guoshun and Gao Hongda and others began to discuss the company's development issues in the hotel.

Deng Guoshun did not hide the current unfavorable situation: "Due to the previous exchange of interests with the island country for raw materials, the island country has the patent right to use the same product, and has completely occupied the market of the island country, South Korea and the Baodao region of our country, and also exported to North America. The market is expanding. After all, our relationship with the United States is as close as father and son. At present, our products can only temporarily meet the supply of the domestic market. Some imitations have also appeared in the country, and the legal team hired by the company is actively safeguarding rights. However, some copycat products There is still a lot of it flowing into the market.”

Gao Hongda asked: "If we open the European market and continue to increase production, is it possible to occupy the market on a larger scale?"

Deng Guoshun said with a sad face: "It should be no problem, but the original plan to monopolize the market may be in vain."

Roland listened to their conversation for a while and put forward his own opinion: "No company can cover the sky with one hand. Even in the highly monopolized United States, it is impossible to monopolize the entire market. Competition is impossible. We Now we need to ensure the quality and advancement of the product, as well as the price advantage. There has not been any malicious bidding yet, so as long as profits can be guaranteed, there is no need to worry too much about other things. There is no point in worrying! My opinion is that production can be expanded , we must also ensure product differentiation and compete in overseas markets.”

Gao Hongda agreed: "Only competition can reflect the advancement of our technology and promote our continued progress. Roland is right. Competition should not be regarded as pressure, but as an opportunity."

Deng Guoshun said with a wry smile: "I have been obsessed with technology research recently, and I was too optimistic before. If you young people break in, just do what you want. I have done it before at Terek Company. Marketing specialist, at that time, the company's technology was unique in the world, and it was not difficult to do it. Now there is a huge explosion of technology at home and abroad, and I cannot adapt to the new situation."

Gao Hongda comforted him: "Don't say that, your team's current research results are leading the world, that's why I have the opportunity to open the European market in such a short period of time. You just need to continue research and development, don't think about anything else!" He paused and asked again, "I want to ask a very personal question. How did you handle the dividends the company gave you? Did you save them? Or did you invest them?"

When he mentioned this issue, Deng Guoshun became more energetic, pointed to the high-rise buildings outside and said: "Buy real estate! Real estate in Shenzhen is booming at the moment! The price increase every year is more than 15%."
