Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Chapter 650 Entering the communications market (two-in-one)

It’s Monday again.

This morning, Lin Baicheng took Qin Lan, Chen Huixiang and bodyguards to the phone company.

Currently, although Lin Baicheng is not the chairman of the telephone company because the board of directors has not yet been changed, he is now the largest shareholder of the telephone company. At the same time, he did not want to meet with the chairman of the telephone company, but was just in contact with the management of the telephone company.

Moreover, as the largest shareholder of the telephone company, Lin Baicheng can convene shareholders' meetings and initiate board reorganization. Even without the cooperation of management, he can take over the telephone company as time goes by.

However, with the cooperation of the telephone company management, Lin Baicheng could take over the telephone company faster and more smoothly.

Head to the Telephone Company's Extended Lincoln.

"Qin Lan, all the communication equipment of the telephone company is purchased from Siemens and Alcatel. Doesn't the company have any self-research capabilities?"

Lin Baicheng looked at the investigation documents against the telephone company that Qin Lan handed him and discovered a problem. The telephone company that had monopolized the telephone business in Xiangjiang for decades actually purchased its equipment from outside instead of developing and producing its own products.

"That's not the case."

Qin Lan heard this and explained: "The company still has R\u0026D capabilities, but since Megan, the president of the phone company, took office three years ago, the phone company has reduced its investment in R\u0026D and chosen to purchase equipment externally. In the short term, the investment will be less, and the telephone company's performance will also increase significantly. Currently, although many people have resigned from the telephone company's R\u0026D department, it still exists, except that the R\u0026D staff There aren’t many left.”

Lin Baicheng listened and said, "Is this Megan a professional manager? He doesn't have any shares in the phone company, right?"

"Yes."

Qin Lan nodded.

"I knew it."

Lin Baicheng said clearly: "Only professional managers will only care about the immediate short-term interests without considering the long-term development of the company. He must be thinking about improving the performance of the telephone company. After a few years, he will retire with success. The future of the telephone company will be What will happen is not at all on his mind."

"It can only be said that Meghan does not have a long-term vision."

Qin Lan said, if you really want to talk about it, she can barely be considered a professional manager.

"I will not stay in the company with such a person."

Lin Baicheng asked: "Do you have any introduction about the candidate for the president of the telephone company?"

"Mr. Lin, I have just contacted the management of the telephone company and don't know them well, so..."

Qin Lan looked embarrassed. Although recommending someone to become the president is a great right, but rights come with responsibilities. If this person fails to do a good job, her recommender will be disgraced and even be considered to have poor vision. question.

Therefore, even if there is a recommendation opportunity in front of him, Qin Lan will not easily recommend anyone to hold an important position.

"makes sense."

Lin Baicheng nodded slightly: "Remember to observe more and see if anyone among the current management of the telephone company is suitable to be the president of the company. For the telephone company, I hope it can increase its investment in research and development and develop communication equipment on its own. Not only Our own business can use its own equipment and sell externally.”

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

Qin Lan responded, and then said: "But Mr. Lin, the investment in research and development of communication equipment is usually very large. Although the scale of the telephone company is not small, if all the company's funds are invested in research and development, I am afraid that it will have to invest all its annual profits. It is possible to go in and even get a loan from a bank. In this case, I am afraid that many shareholders will object, and the stock price will also react, and it is very likely that there will be a downward trend."

"This is better."

Lin Baicheng laughed after hearing this: "Qin Lan, don't forget, I originally wanted to privatize the phone company. If the shareholders can't stand it in the next few years, then they can sell their shares to me. This way I can spend less money when I go private.”

"That's what you said."

Qin Lan nodded in agreement.

Lin Baicheng said: "The most important thing now is to firmly control the phone company, reorganize the phone company's board of directors, and control the phone company in my hands. I will go to the United States in two days, and this job will be handed over to Qin Lan You are responsible and I hope I can hear the good news soon."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I won't let you down."

Qin Lan was overjoyed when she heard this. She knew that the big boss was giving her more responsibilities because he valued her performance. Otherwise, she would not be fully responsible for this kind of thing.

"Then I'll wait and see."

Lin Baicheng nodded. Although Qin Lan was responsible for this matter, there would definitely be others assisting Qin Lan, so Lin Baicheng did not have to worry about Qin Lan harming his interests. The reason why Qin Lan is put in charge is mainly to train Qin Lan so that he can give Qin Lan a heavier burden in the future.

Time passed while chatting until Lincoln came to the telephone company building.

This time when he came to the telephone company, Lin Baicheng asked Qin Lan to contact the telephone company in advance. Therefore, when Lincoln stopped in front of the building, a group of management from the telephone company were already waiting in front of the building.

Regardless of whether they welcome Lin Baicheng to take over the telephone company or not, all the management came to take over Lin Baicheng. No one foolishly acted as the most conspicuous one. It was clear that someone who could become a management member of a large company was against Lin Baicheng, the richest man in Hong Kong. Not stupid.

"Mr. Lin, welcome to your arrival, I am Locke Megan, the president of the telephone company."

Among the management, a middle-aged white man, about forty years old, came out to say hello to Lin Baicheng.

"Hello, President Megan."

Lin Baicheng shook hands with Locke Megan. Although he had decided to replace this Megan, it did not prevent him from greeting her with a smile now. Replacement was something he had to do later. Now, in order to maintain the stability of the phone company, he would be stupid to show off to Rock Megan. Doing so would be like telling Rock Megan that he, Lin Baicheng, was going to replace him.

"Everyone, let's go up and talk first."

Lin Baicheng told other management that it was definitely not the place to talk in front of the building.

"Mr. Lin, please go first."

At that moment, everyone walked into the building and went to the company's conference room.

Everyone took their seats, with Lin Baicheng sitting in the boss's seat.

"Although everyone knows it, I still want to say that I, Lin Baicheng, currently hold the largest number of shares in Xiangjiang Telephone Company and are the company's largest shareholder. The company's controller has changed."

Lin Baicheng looked around at everyone. Some were expressionless, some were smiling, and some had complex expressions. It could be said that they had different expressions. But Lin Baicheng would not explore the meaning behind these expressions. He is the company's largest shareholder and the future boss. There is no such thing as The reason for him to guess other people's thoughts should be for others to figure out his thoughts.

"I'm here today mainly because I want to get to know the executives here and share my personal thoughts."

"Let me make a guarantee here. After I take over the company, I will not lay off employees. The jobs of everyone here and the employees will be protected."

"Of course, some people's jobs will undergo certain adjustments, but you can rest assured that my career in Xiangjiang is not small, and there are other companies. If I can't work at the telephone company, I will arrange to work in other companies. Salaries will not be lowered.”

Lin Baicheng keeps his word and will not lay off employees, even for Rock Megan, who is about to be replaced. However, people can be transferred without layoffs. When the time comes to transfer them to a casual position, the other person will leave voluntarily if they are aware of themselves.

It's okay if the person being transferred doesn't take the initiative to resign. It's just like supporting someone else. After a period of time, you can find an excuse to quit. At that time, there will be no compensation for voluntarily resigning, and the only loss will be the other party.

No matter what they thought, the executives responded with warm applause to what Lin Baicheng said.

Lin Baicheng said to the crowd: "Next, please briefly introduce yourselves and let me get to know you."

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I am Buta Schino, the vice president of the company."

Hearing this, the senior executives present began to introduce themselves one by one, introducing their respective names, positions, responsibilities, years of service in the company, contributions to the company, etc.

Of course, since it is a brief introduction, everyone does not spend long time introducing themselves, only a minute or two.

Nonetheless, by the time all the executives finished introducing themselves, it was already more than half an hour later. Unlike the board of directors, which only has nine directors, there are more than a dozen company executives.

Relying on Lin Baicheng's memory, after the executives introduced themselves, Lin Baicheng finally had a vague understanding of them. Of course, names, positions, etc. can be believed, but some words cannot be completely believed. You cannot believe whatever they say.

"Next, let me introduce to you, this Ms. Qin Lan, she is the director of my secretariat. This time she will be responsible for the reorganization of the telephone company's board of directors. I also hope that President Megan and everyone here can cooperate with Ms. Qin Lan to complete this matter. A job.”

"President Meghan, what do you think about the board of directors reorganization?"

With that said, Lin Baicheng looked at Locke Megan.

"Mr. Lin, you are now the company's largest shareholder, and you should be on the board of directors. As for the chairman of the board of directors, you need to convene a shareholders' meeting to vote, but I believe this vote will be passed at the shareholders' meeting."

Locke Megan said that he knew that with Lin Baicheng's shareholding ratio in the phone company, no one could stop Lin Baicheng from controlling the phone company, and obstruction would only lead to frustration. If he cooperates well, he may be able to continue to serve as the president of the telephone company, and even if things go wrong, he should be able to escape unscathed.

In the past few years when he worked at the telephone company, although Locke Megan did not do anything to get involved, he still gained a lot of benefits. If these were really pursued, something would happen. He did not want to be like the white director of Hong Kong Electric Group. , was sent into the bureau by Lin Baicheng.

Therefore, Locke Megan did not think about resisting. He hoped that his cooperation would allow him to escape unscathed. It would be best if he could keep his position as president.

"That's true, but we still need your cooperation, President Megan."

Lin Baicheng smiled. Locke Megan and others could understand the situation best, so that he could receive a stable phone company. If the executives did not cooperate, there would be a lot of rumors, which would be somewhat troublesome.

Of course, this is just trouble and will not change the outcome of Lin Baicheng's control of the phone company.

Lin Baicheng is not the chairman of the phone company yet, or even a member of the board of directors, and he is not in a meeting right now, so he doesn't say much and ends the conversation with a lot of self-knowledge.

Of course, Lin Baicheng did not leave the phone company immediately. Instead, he asked Locke Megan to accompany him to visit various departments of the company, so that the middle and lower levels could get to know him, the company's largest shareholder, and at the same time stabilize their hearts.

Changes in the top management of any company will cause turmoil, and the middle and lower levels will worry about their jobs. Worry about whether the new boss will lay off employees, worry about whether the new boss will lower salaries, and worry about whether the company will have a future under the leadership of the new boss.

More than half an hour later, Lin Baicheng left the phone company with Qin Lan and others.

A stretched Lincoln on the move.

Lin Baicheng said to Qin Lan, who was sitting opposite him: "The reorganization of the phone company's board of directors and the selection of the new president will be left to you, but you must first contact the R\u0026D department to retain people, and at the same time recruit outstanding R\u0026D personnel. Talent preparation.”

"I understand what you mean, Mr. Lin. I will not let changes in the company affect the R\u0026D department."

Qin Lan nodded to express her understanding. She knew that her boss valued R\u0026D. Although from her personal point of view, too much investment in R\u0026D would have a great impact on the company's performance, but the big boss valued R\u0026D, so she had to pay attention to it.

No matter what, you have to stand on the same side as the big boss.

Lin Baicheng said: "I won't say more about what should be done. You will be responsible. I look forward to your performance."

"I'll take care of it."

While feeling pressure, Qin Lan knew that this was not an opportunity. The display of abilities was accumulated time after time.

If the previous acquisition of the telephone company was just to have a sales channel in Hong Kong after the commercialization of mobile phones, then after acquiring the telephone company, Lin Baicheng had his mind set on letting the telephone company enter the field of communication equipment manufacturing.

Sun Electronic Communications Company's main business in the future is the research and development and sales of mobile phones, that is, mobile phone upgrades, broadband base stations and other hardware to other companies. After all, it involves too much investment, and it is easy to be targeted.

Telephone companies can definitely compete with Huawei in the future. Lin Baicheng is rich and has entered communication equipment and other fields many years in advance. He is willing to invest in research and development. Lin Baicheng does not believe that the development of this company will lose to Huawei in the future.

It can even be said that as long as China is willing to invest, China can catch up with foreign technology levels in the 4G or even 3G era.

Of course, this market is huge, and Lin Baicheng is reluctant to share the cake with others. He will definitely privatize the telephone company. Fortunately, in the early R\u0026D investment stage, other shareholders will definitely not be able to persist. Lin Baicheng's privatization of the telephone company should go smoothly.

Besides, if it really doesn't work, Lin Baicheng can still start from scratch, but it will be relatively troublesome.
