Chapter 183 Is This Goal Too High?

Soon, Hongxin Company released the news and was discussing cooperation with Leiyu Home Appliances, intending to invest in Leiyu Home Appliances and enter the field of smart home appliances.

It's just a rumor, and it has been paid attention to by many interested people.

"Hongxin is going to enter smart home appliances? Well, it is possible that their company has been making smart products."

"Thunderstorm Home Appliances? This company seems normal. Does Hongxin want to buy them?"

"Hongxin Company has never been listed, but Leiyu Home Appliances is a listed company. Hongxin Company has grown up to now, almost what it has done, and its strength is strong. It seems that this company has a future! It can be invested!" Capital In the market, some investors with a keen sense of smell have caught the scent.

However, this news is just a rumor. Hongxin Company has not officially announced this matter, and this matter is only an intention and has not been implemented. But some people know through the relationship that this matter is really talking about.

Immediately, those investors spotted the stock of Thunderstorm Appliances. Buying the stock of Thunderstorm Appliances now, if Hongxin really invests in this company, won't it rise sharply after that, and then take the opportunity to make a fortune?

There are not a few people who have this idea.

When the stock exchange was closed for a few days during the Spring Festival, people suddenly found that the stock of Thunderstorm Home Appliances became a hot stock, and the increase was amazing.

And those shareholders of Thunderstorm Home Appliance Company found that the shares they held became valuable all of a sudden!

And all of this is just because of a rumor released by Hongxin Company! If Hongxin really invested in them, the value of these stocks would skyrocket!

Even if they had to transfer some of their shares to Hongxin Company according to the acquisition agreement, the value of the remaining shares was far greater than before.

This time, these shareholders are all excited. Su Xu didn't even need to talk about it, he took the initiative to ask about it one by one, and even wanted to promote it.

And Nie Guanglin, who had been hesitant for a while, also sensed everyone's wishes. If he objected, no one would agree.

Fortunately, he followed the trend. After the Spring Festival holiday, the first meeting of Thunderstorm Company was to discuss this matter.

Few obstacles were encountered, and everyone agreed to transfer part of the shares and let Hongxin become the owner of Thunderstorm Home Appliances.

Lu Zixin handed over all these matters to Su Zhirong.

After the agreement between the two parties was reached, Su Xu, Lu Zixin's father-in-law, naturally became the new CEO of Thunderstorm Home Appliances. The original Nie Guanglin served as the vice president and was in charge of the traditional home appliance business.

The management of the company also joined some former Hongxin Group employees. Lu Zixin also attended the first meeting of the management of the new company.

There are more than 20 people present, most of them are old employees of the former Thunderstorm Home Appliances, and it is the first time they meet the helm of the Red Letter Group, Lu Yan.

Seeing that the legendary Lu Yan was so young, everyone was a little surprised.

Lu Zixin briefly introduced himself and began to talk about the key development issues of the company.

"Many people should be very puzzled. Why did Hongxin acquire Leiyu Home Appliances? Did they see the potential of this company?"

"No, it's not. To be honest, in the field of home appliances, the potential of Thunderstorm Home Appliances is not excellent. The reason why Hongxin made this decision is that he saw a group of people with forward-looking vision in Thunderstorm Home Appliances. For example, the current CEO Mr. Su, And some employees."

"Smart home is the general trend of the future! The future development direction of our Thunderstorm home appliances is smart home! Whether it is air conditioners, washing machines, TVs, microwave ovens and other home appliances, we must strive to be smart."

"It can even be made into a complete smart home system, allowing smart services to live. Let Thunderstorm appliances become an internationally renowned big brand!"

Hearing him say this, many people are still a little confused. Some of them, although they understand smart home, are not very professional in this field.

The biggest problem of Thunderstorm Home Appliances is that they do not have their own research and development capabilities. Many of their core technologies come from authorized cooperation from other channels, and a smart speaker has been developed for two years without success.

"Do you have anything to say?" Lu Zixin asked when he saw that everyone didn't understand.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say. They all looked at Nie Guanglin, and Nie Guanglin also asked the question on behalf of everyone: "Mr. Lu, the direction you said makes sense, but I have to ask according to the actual situation."

"You said." Lu Zixin said.

Nie Guanglin said: "Our company has almost no core technology of its own. It costs a lot of money to research ordinary household appliances. There is no extra money and technical strength to invest in research and development."

"You mentioned making Leiyu Home Appliances an internationally renowned brand, so I would like to mention Geli Electric Co., Ltd. here."

Nie Guanglin said, looking at the data on his laptop.

"In the field of home appliances, they should be regarded as domestic giants, and they also have a certain reputation internationally."

"And the data released by various electric appliances last year is that they have more than 10,000 scientific researchers; two national technology research centers, one national industrial design center, one provincial enterprise key laboratory; nine research institutes, five Twelve research institutes and more than 700 laboratories... In addition, they have the world's largest air-conditioning R&D center, and the only national energy-saving and environmentally friendly refrigeration equipment engineering technology research center in the Huaxia refrigeration industry."

"They spend more than four billion yuan in research and development a year! It's almost equal to the total market value of our Thunderstorm Home Appliances company half a month ago!"

"Comparing to them, our company's R&D strength is almost zero, and the R&D funds are also stretched. These ambitious goals are a bit too far in my opinion."

His words basically represent the views of some old employees in the company. Although Hongxin entered Leiyu Company and made them earn money in stocks, many people still hold conservative views in terms of internal management concepts.

Lu Zixin smiled and said, "It seems that everyone still doesn't know much about the strength of our Red Letter. Let me tell you something practical."

"We do smart home not just for fun, but for real knives and real guns."

"This year, we plan to invest an additional 5 billion funds, all of which will be used for research and development!"

As soon as Lu Zixin opened his mouth, it was five billion, which scared everyone. An additional investment of five billion will surely dilute their stake to a smaller size, but the real value will increase.

"Really five billion?" Nie Guanglin asked suspiciously.

"If five billion is not enough, you can continue to add additional funds." Lu Zixin said calmly, anyway, this way, the company almost became his, and he didn't feel bad about investing in research and development.
