Chapter 1514: The Lost Former Giant

"welcome!"

"Welcome Young Master Qi and President Shen!"

Standing at the front of the welcoming team was Shao Guofeng, the mayor of Changming City. This mayor, who was already an acquaintance with Xiao Qi, had a big smile on his face, and he could see that he was really happy.

As far as he is concerned, whether it is Fairy Company or Xiaoniao.com, as long as he can come to Changming to invest and place orders for Changming's company, that is a great thing.

Not only can he make money, but it can also greatly improve Chang Ming's reputation. This is a great thing for him who is obsessed with his official career!

The middle-aged man with glasses standing behind Shao Guofeng is Yang Runyong, the chairman of Changhong. He is in his early forties this year, and he is at the peak of his career.

When he held Xiao Qi's hand, he was overly enthusiastic: "Qi Shao, you are finally here, we Changhong are really looking forward to have more cooperation with you!!"

Under Shao Guofeng's matchmaking before, Changhong signed an order of 5 billion yuan with Xiaoyao Mall, which directly ignited everyone's enthusiasm, so Yang Runyong was very happy.

Xiao Qi laughed when he heard the words, "There is a chance, Director Yang, Changhong is an excellent company, and I am optimistic about the future of your Changhong!"

Although I don't know if what Xiao Qi said is true or not, even if it is a scene, it makes Yang Runyong very happy.

He was originally a researcher with a professional background. Only after he took up a management position did he realize how difficult it is to develop a company, especially a super-large group like Changhong.

In any place, it is normal for small businesses to do well. It is already enough for a large company to be satisfied with paying salary and bonuses to everyone every year.

Everyone knows that Dongfang Volkswagen sells a lot of cars and makes a lot of money. Among them, the most "notorious" Santana is produced by them. The models that have been eliminated for more than 10 years can be sold for more than 200,000 RMB in the era of strong currency purchasing power in the 1990s and 2000s in Huaguo, which is simply a money grab!

But many people don't know it. There are hundreds of thousands of workers and retired workers who need to be supported by the people in the East. The various expenses involved in it have made their brains really troubled, and they have also greatly eaten up their due profits, so In fact, their profit for a while was not as good as that of the small BYD.

The same is true in foreign countries. Which of the American GM, Ford, and Cadillac has not been dragged to bankruptcy by the heavy burden of workers?

The Roewe brand sold by the UK to Dongfang Automobile and the Volvo car brand sold by Volvo to Geely were not all due to bankruptcy due to workers' benefits. Did you have no choice but to find someone who was taken advantage of?

Cars are more profitable than TVs. That's much better.

Even the auto industry is like this. Not to mention the TV industry, the legendary Chairman Chang Hongyuan made many radical decisions. It led to a series of mistakes, which cannot be said to have anything to do with the heavy burden of workers he faced-a factory that has been in operation since 1958. The 100,000 to 200,000 retired workers and their families, and the 70,000 active employees and their families are not inferior to the burden of the Eastern public!

The heavy burden of Changhong did not dissipate with Yang Runyong's appointment. It is precisely because of the same huge pressure that Yang Runyong has been thinking about breaking through in the past two years.

But how difficult is it for a company without much core intellectual property to break through in a fiercely competitive market?

In the picture tube TV war back then, Changhong had sufficient technical reserves, so they dared to take the lead in launching a price war, relying on cheap labor and high volume, and defeated Japanese TV manufacturers.

But in the era of LCD TVs, companies in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, relying on various patents and production technologies, directly hold the pricing power of LCD screens in their hands, which has led to TV manufacturers in Huaguo. , there is a lot more than them, and now the price war is impossible to fight.

Since the price war cannot be waged, many shortcomings of Changhong LCD TVs have been exposed. As a result, its competitiveness is much weaker than that of several major joint venture manufacturers, and it has gradually disappeared from the mainstream TV manufacturers.

What people remember now are Sony, Sharp, Panasonic, Hitachi, Toshiba, Samsung and LG. Although the sales of domestic TVs can be equal to them, they are far behind in terms of reputation.

And even among domestic TV manufacturers, Changhong is not ranked in the top three now.

Yang Runyong is naturally very happy that Changhong, who is so sunset in the west, can be praised by the richest man in Huaguo.

The welcoming scene was not too big. Hundreds of Changhong employees in uniform lined up at the door to welcome them, looking enthusiastic.

Not to mention Xiao Qi, even Shen Wuyan had seen many such scenes, so she was not at all stage frightened, chatting with Yang Runyong while walking.

The employees who were able to participate in the welcome were all excellent in facial features and height. They looked at Xiao Qi and Shen Wuyan who were carefully accompanied by the two big leaders, and their smiles were filled with indescribable envy and admiration.

Check it out!

One is 20 years old and the other is 19 years old, but they have already reached this level. What a genius!

However, when they turned their heads and thought of the various benefits that these two wealthy young people might bring to Changhong, they began to imagine again.

In fact, knowing that Xiao Qi and the genius girl president of Xiaoniao.com who appeared in Time Magazine are coming to discuss business, Changhong Group is full of expectations from top to bottom.

They have long lost the spirit of pioneering and enterprising, and are gradually falling behind the entire era, so it is very satisfying to have the opportunity to earn some money and make up for various expenses.

Sitting in the luxurious small living room, Yang Runyong and the two vice presidents beside him had the same idea.

Shen Wuyan's Xiaoniao.com is the main negotiator today, so in addition to her, Zhao Xia, the director of the finance department, Cui Yuan, the director of the technical department, and several technical staff also came.

Instead, Xiao Qi sat in a corner with Shao Guofeng and watched how they negotiated.

Because of the prior communication, the purpose of Shen Wuyan's visit this time was also very clear.

She didn't like to beat around the bush. At the beginning, she briefly said a few words about her requirements, and then took out the ultra-thin LCD TV plan for "Little Bird TV" that she had set up, and handed it over in five copies.

Yang Runyong was originally a technician, so he immediately read it carefully with his subordinates.

Xiao Qi paid attention to his expression, almost after two or three minutes, Yang Runyong's expression became a little serious, and his brows also frowned slightly.

He is still good, and several technicians almost wrote the word "unhappy" on their faces.

It seems that this negotiation is not easy!
