Chapter 574 Don't praise me so much, I'm bringing a baby at home!
What Lao Wang didn't expect was that Mu Yang admired his outspoken and straightforward character.
If Old Wang had been talking to Mu Yang, Mu Yang probably wouldn't agree to make an appointment to see him.
Of course, Mu Yang would not directly tell him the trend of domestic real estate in the next few years, but just said in another way: "Mr. Wang, your problem is very practical and realistic. It is normal to have concerns, and it is really irrational to invest blindly. .
I believe that you have also judged the future development trend of smart cities and their impact on surrounding areas through various research and analysis.
To be honest, I never thought that smart cities would have such a big impact on housing prices in City H.
Our original intention of building a smart city is just to better demonstrate cutting-edge technology, explore future cities, and hope to find the direction of technology through life. "
"I really admire Mr. Mu's foresight and vision and his spirit of exploring future technology."
"Whether the smart city can be successfully operated, I have a certain degree of certainty, and we are not worried about technology.
We have set a construction target of 50,000 mu in the fifth phase. As for whether to continue to expand the scope of the smart city in the future, and when to expand it, I think it is not bad to be able to complete the current 50,000 mu. "Mu Yang smiled and said, "As for the future, at least we have to wait for a period of time to observe after the 50,000 mu smart city is put into operation. "
"Oh, at least there will be no expansion for a short time, which is very sensible."
"It can be said that we don't build smart cities for money. If I want to make money, I have many ways, and they are faster."
Lao Wang admired Mr. Mu's spirit of developing human science and technology very much, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Mu, for helping me solve my doubts."
"You're welcome. Investment is risky. It's better to be cautious. I'm not sure about the future trend of real estate around smart cities.
But I think one thing is right. Operating with a high debt ratio is actually a gamble. Maybe one day I will get myself into it. "
"Xinghai Group has no debts, and the cash flow is very abundant, which really makes us ashamed." Old Wang said with a thumbs up.
"I just don't like to live in debt. I can do as many things as I have." Mu Yang said with a relaxed smile.
"Mr. Mu's pursuit of money is not strong enough, and he devotes himself to science, which is exactly the same. Whatever business he does is smooth sailing." Lao Wang said, "We have started to transform in the past two years, which is asset-light operation, and we want to put hundreds of billions of debts on us. Pay it off, and now, after listening to what Mr. Mu said, I am more determined to take the asset-light model, and living in debt is indeed not a long-term solution."
Mu Yang nodded, Wanda Company is indeed on the right path of light assets.
Therefore, Mu Yang agrees with Lao Wang's willingness to abandon the glory of his body, that is, put down his face, and pay off the debt honestly first.
Lao Wang has the perseverance and persistence that ordinary people do not have, and he can strategize and plan systematically, make specific deployments and arrangements, and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. This is the main reason why he led Wanda Group to glory.
In this regard, Mu Yang felt that it was right to learn from Lao Wang.
If an enterprise wants to have long-term development, then the leader must have a forward-looking vision, that is, to examine the overall situation with a strategic perspective.
In a few years, Mu Yang will lose the rebirth advantage of foresight. How he will go in the future, glory or abyss, depends on whether his choice is correct.
After the conversation between the two, Pharaoh left happily.
He felt that it was very worthwhile to come to Mr. Mu this time, because he learned a lot of useful things from it, and his thinking became clearer.
As for Mu Yang, after seeing Lao Wang leave, he himself fell into deep thought.
Xinghai Group has developed in many fields, and many decisions were made by Mu Yang suddenly.
Although he has a strategy department, he consults the strategy department every time he makes a decision, but everyone still tends to trust him too much.
For the general direction of the next few years, Mu Yang himself has to be clearer and more cautious.
In today's increasingly fierce economic competition, leaders are not only the decision makers of the enterprise, but also the leaders of the development direction of the enterprise. It is very important for an enterprise to have a guide who can plan strategies and turn the tide. Wanda is lucky.
As for the Xinghai Group, Mu Yang was not 100% sure that he would go in the right direction without his own hacking.
As the end of the year is approaching, Mu Yang feels that it is necessary to analyze and re-examine the core business of the group with the high-level and strategic departments, to determine how to further cultivate and expand, and which businesses that slow down the pace need to be cut off.
Only in this way can Xinghai Group remain invincible in the future market competition and achieve sustained and steady growth.
Especially after 2020, most of the situation is not good, and it will not improve until 2023. It is normal for Mu Yang to have some worries, and the company cannot be allowed to grow wildly.
In his view, in the past two years, the current projects in hand should be done well and maintained well, and new projects should be cautious.
five days later,
Mu Yang convened a meeting with the high-level and strategic departments of Xinghai Group, and the participants also included eight newly appointed vice presidents of technology.
After all the staff arrived, Mu Yang went straight to the topic:
"From the current perspective of the group, many businesses can indeed make money.
However, I have my own worries. Many of our businesses spend money blindly.
Now the company is doing well financially, but think about how many employees we have?
Especially this year, in order to develop the computer field, there has been a sudden increase of 50,000 to 60,000 people.
Of course, it is undeniable that the computer business has increased our revenue by hundreds of billions this year, which is worthwhile.
It is also undeniable that some of the Group's current businesses have become a drag and need to be cut or optimized.
I hope that everyone can put forward their own opinions and suggestions, and discuss together how to adjust the development direction of the group.
Don't worry about my opinion, I will make mistakes in judgment, I hope you must clearly recognize this point. "
After everyone listened, it was true.
The company has a lot of expenses in all aspects, and the approval of project funds is very random. There is an illusion that there is nowhere to spend the money.
However, as the company has more and more employees, it has reached 170,000 to 100,000 people, and the employee benefits are extremely high. Coupled with wages, the annual expenditure is no less than 50 billion yuan.
In terms of expenditure, scientific research projects have invested the most, exceeding 100 billion yuan in the past two years.
Of course, the group's pre-tax profit is also high, and hundreds of billions of yuan per year are indeed staggering.
What's even more frightening is that Xinghai Group has no debts yet.
Not to mention, the chairman and Xinghai Bank's terrifying net worth, probably even he can't remember clearly.
But unexpectedly, the chairman had some concerns.
If the executives of other companies hear it, I don’t know how they feel: You are so rich that you can’t spend it all!
It is normal to have concerns, and we should take advantage of the good time to sort them out.
If there is a bad year, this kind of expenditure will make the Xinghai Group a heavy burden.
Zhou Chen took the lead and said: "The chairman's concerns are right, especially this kind of mentality is very rare.
In the field of refrigeration semiconductors, the revenue has plummeted. I think it can be reduced. In the past three years, we have not made any major technological breakthroughs in this field, and we are still living on our laurels. I think we should gradually withdraw from this industry.
Handheld laser welding equipment has also encountered a bottleneck in revenue, and the market is saturated. Revenue has been declining in the past two years. We don't need to spend energy to expand the market, but should shrink to ensure that the market is updated.
The extra personnel need to be trained and transferred to other jobs to supplement other industries with insufficient jobs, instead of blindly recruiting new employees..."
After listening to Zhou Chen's words, Mu Yang nodded slightly in agreement, and he reminded again: "Reminder, don't get me wrong, the benefits and wages of the company's employees will not be cut. But the recruitment of personnel must be streamlined.
Within the next year, our smart robotic factory assistants should be available. "
"Chairman, I think it's good enough to maintain the current state of employee benefits and benefits. No company can compare with us, and there is no need to increase unnecessary expenses. We approve scientific research projects in reviewing this One piece, there may be some relaxation, there are currently many projects that have not been produced." An expert said.
"I don't think scientific research expenditures need to be proportionate to our profits. Our profits are already high."
After listening to Mu Yang's speech, the high-level and strategic departments agreed with his views, and analyzed and evaluated the different businesses of the group.
They are also aware of the current problems of the group, and believe that adjustments and optimizations are needed to adapt to market changes.
After discussion and research, they finally formulated a detailed adjustment plan, including cutting down some unprofitable or unsuitable businesses, increasing investment in some promising businesses, and so on.
...
Two days later, on December 27th.
The Xinghai Group held a press conference, and will conduct a rocket test at ten o'clock in the morning three days later: launch the flying car Future 03 to Mars.
After the news was announced, the media reporters who participated in the press conference were shocked.
"Excuse me, what is the purpose of Xinghai Group's move?"
"Our flying car is called 'Future 03', and it is designed to gain a deeper understanding of the surface and environment of Mars, so as to provide more information and data for future space exploration.
In addition, this mission also laid the foundation for Xinghai Group's future space exploration projects, providing us with more opportunities to gain a deeper understanding of the universe.
In the coming years, we will have many more space exploration missions.
These missions will help us better understand the universe we live in, and provide more opportunities for our future life and development.
The future 03 flying car is an important milestone in this great exploration, the future 03 is the first flying car developed by our company, it uses..."
The person in charge of this speech is the company's public relations representative, and they are all prepared to answer questions. They must make this launch very noble.
She understands that the real mission of the company's launch is to promote the future 03 flying car, and the exploration of Mars is just a side trip.
The media reporters felt that this time was quite strange. The host of Xinghai Group said so many things this time, and it was all about future 03.
Well, Xinghai Group is preparing to announce the flying car is also great news.
No, a media reporter asked curiously: "What kind of power will be used in the future 03? How many kilometers can it fly? What is the fastest speed? Can flight safety be guaranteed? Does your country have a mature flying environment and traffic rules?"
I asked several questions in a row, as expected of a reporter.
However, the host did not take this approach, she said: "Thank you very much for your question, these issues are indeed of common concern to everyone.
At present, we have not released specific data on the specific power, flight endurance and speed of the future 03.
However, what we can guarantee is that we will conduct sufficient experiments and verifications during the development and testing stages to ensure the flight safety and reliability of 03 in the future.
At the same time, we will formulate appropriate flight rules and standards with the traffic department to ensure the safe coordination between 03 and other aircraft in the future, thank you. "
"Can you introduce Future 03, which is ready to launch to Mars?"
The host said: "Future 03 will be the most complex and advanced car in human history. Its shell adopts the latest high-tech materials, which can withstand the harsh environmental conditions on Mars and ensure that the car body will not be damaged.
Moreover, its internal configuration is also very advanced, equipped with many advanced equipment.
For example, its battery can not only fully store solar energy, but also charge itself;
Not only that, it is also equipped with various practical tools and equipment, such as high-definition cameras, lidar, millimeter radar, weather analyzers, etc., in order to conduct comprehensive and detailed exploration research on Mars.
Through the exploration of Mars, scientists will be able to better understand this mysterious planet and uncover more secrets about its internal structure, atmospheric environment, climate change, rock composition, etc., which will be of great importance to human interstellar travel and future space exploration are of great significance. "
Half an hour later, the press conference ended.
Regarding the Xinghai Group's launch of a car to Mars, it was quickly spread in the domestic and foreign media, and the reports discussing this related topic were unprecedentedly hot.
"Wow, the Xinghai Group is going to do something big again."
"Really? Sending a car to Mars? Is it plausible?"
"It's so shocking! This is a major milestone in human history!"
All kinds of guesses, doubts, and surprising comments spread wildly on the Internet.
At the same time, more and more people are paying attention to Xinghai Group's Hummer and future cars, and sales are fueled.
Regarding more details and plans of this launch mission, Xinghai Group did not disclose more information.
It just means that the launch will take place in three days, just watch the live broadcast.
The Xinghai Group sold the live broadcast rights this time, and the money they earned was enough for several launches and the development of the future 03.
Mu Yang doesn't dislike being able to earn back the cost from other places.
Seeing the plan of Xinghai Group, Musk suddenly felt as if he had been hit hard, and his heart sank to the bottom: Why is Xinghai Group's plan exactly the same as his own company's plan?
Their company also has such a plan, but the time point is in the second half of next year.
The actual purpose is to promote the Tesla Motors brand and make it appear taller.
Now that the Xinghai Group is one step ahead, it would be meaningless for them to carry out such a mission.
On the same day, Musk came to SPACEX to hold a high-level meeting.
"Gentlemen, it's very bad. The Xinghai Group took the lead in launching a car to Mars, which conflicts with our plan. We have to cancel the original plan."
"Hey, that's all. It feels like a coincidence. Xinghai Group is far ahead of us now."
Musk had a face-to-face meeting, which ended quickly. On the way back to the office, he looked blank.
When you have worked hard for an opportunity for a long time and finally waited for it to arrive, only to find that it was snatched away by others, the feeling is very heavy.
He is like this now, feeling lost, angry and helpless, and even doubts his own ability and value.
"No, we can't just be defeated like this!"
Half a day later, he returned to his original fighting spirit.
...
three days later,
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Finally the day has come!
People all over the world are looking forward to the day when they will see the greatest scientific experiment in human history: sending a car to Mars!
Over the past few days, domestic and foreign media have been reporting on this matter.
Today, the eyes of the whole world are focused on the rocket launch site of Xinghai Group, and more than one billion people will watch the live broadcast.
This time is nine o'clock in the morning in Hua Country, and it may be evening or even midnight in some areas, and many people from Wrong Country stay up late to watch.
Mu Yang did not go to the scene, but stayed at home with his family to watch the rocket launch through live broadcast.
In the Xinghai Group's rocket launch center and command center, a group of engineers and scientists are intensely making final preparations.
Their mission today is to launch a car into space to go to Mars for exploration and research.
The Xingkong-1 rocket was used. This Future 03 car weighs more than three tons, which is nothing compared to the terrifying carrying capacity of Xingkong-1.
The countdown began, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the moment of launch.
On the wall of the command center, the countdown counts down every second.
Finally, when the number turns to zero, the launch program runs.
emission!
The huge Xinghuo-1 rocket engine began to emit huge flames, and the Xingkong-1 rocket began to rise slowly.
Through the live TV broadcast, the audience watched this spectacular scene in amazement.
As time went by, Xingkong-1 gradually accelerated and flew higher and higher.
Through the live broadcast, the audience saw a white trail, leaving a beautiful arc in the sky.
A few minutes later, the rocket entered the atmosphere and flew into space at incredible speed.
After an unknown period of time, Xingkong No. 1 left the gravitational range of the earth and entered the depths of space.
Experts in front of the TV station explained: "Xingkong-1 has already escaped the gravity of the earth, exceeding the first cosmic speed, but to fly to other planets or galaxies, a higher speed is required.
Now, audiences, Xing Kong No. 1 has begun to accelerate, whether it can succeed or not is very critical.
The process of launching a car into space is an extremely complex and precise project that requires the efforts and wisdom of a large number of scientists, engineers and astronauts. We have to marvel at the charm of Xinghai Group.
If this mission can be successfully completed, it will provide us with more opportunities and information to better understand and explore the universe. "
The audience waited long,
soon.
"Start to launch the future 03 car, successfully launch, and successfully deploy the solar panels!"
"Success!"
"Audience, Xinghai Group's mission this time is not only to launch a car to Mars, but also to recover Xingkong-1, which is very difficult!"
"But no matter what, the car has been successfully launched into space, and it is still within the control of the control center, which means that half of the success has been achieved."
"In the future, 03 needs to go through several orbit corrections and attitude control to ensure that it can accurately enter the low-earth orbit of Mars, and then operate like a low-earth orbit satellite. It is not intended to land on Mars. It does not have the landing conditions, and Mars The climatic environment on the planet is very complex."
The host and experts were very excited, as were the Huaguo audience in front of the TV station.
However, netizens from some overseas countries feel a little sour.
Like a netizen from the Three Kingdoms: "It's not the first time in the world to launch to Mars. What's the big deal? If we do it, we can do it too. Not to mention cars, it is also possible to launch tanks."
Many Chinese netizens liked this comment after seeing it, but some netizens from other countries sarcastically said: "I have everything in my dreams, do you have the ability to launch rockets now? Is it so difficult to admit that others are good?"
The rocket recovery process is relatively long, and it takes a very long time for the car to fly to Mars. Normally, it takes seven to ten months. In the future, the 03 car will start very quickly, but it will take five or six months.
While explaining, the host and experts occasionally switched the scene to Future 03 and Rocket Star One.
The expert was full of admiration: "I have to say that the establishment of the Star Network has provided the Xinghai Group with powerful interstellar communication capabilities. Otherwise, we would not be able to see what the future 03 will be like now."
The host also said: "Since Xinghai Group released Starnet Global WIFI, many countries have cooperated with Xinghai Group. Now Starnet International has nearly 500 million users. On the Internet, the annual revenue is hundreds of billions of yuan."
"Yes, not only that, the Xinghai Group has completed 6 satellite launch orders, and the revenue is hundreds of millions of dollars. Of course, it may not be much for Xingwang's revenue."
"Xinghai Group's revenue this year, if you include the revenue of new energy companies, it may reach two trillion yuan. The top five of the world's top 500 are stable."
The audience in front of the TV station were shocked by Xinghai Group's ability to make money.
Like the domestic audience, while watching live TV, they discussed the rocket launch and the situation of the Xinghai Group.
"Xinghai Group is so good at making money, I don't know how much revenue it will make this year."
"The Xinghai Group's annual meeting is coming soon, and the revenue data for 2017 should be announced, which will definitely shock the world."
"Xinghai Group's benefits are very good. It would be great if my son can work in Xinghai Group after graduation."
About half an hour later, Xingkong-1 returned to the atmosphere.
The audience in front of the TV station became excited again, seeing the recovery process of the Xingkong-1 rocket once again.
Not long after, Xingkong No. 1 successfully returned to the designated location.
The TV host applauded excitedly: "Successful, awesome!"
"Yes, it can be said to be a complete success. The Xinghai Group has created a new record in the history of spaceflight."
"Congratulations to Xinghai Group!"
"Haha, congratulations to the Xinghai Group again. Congratulations. This means that our country's space technology has risen to a new level, which is something to be proud of."
"Perhaps, in the eyes of Mr. Mu, a Chinese scientist, this is nothing more than an ordinary launch test. He didn't come to the site to direct it today."
"Yes, Mr. Mu has always been immersed in scientific experiments. This kind of research spirit is worth learning."
"This is the pride of our country. We have such scientists and entrepreneurs. Mr. Mu's efforts and innovation have laid a solid foundation for our country in the aerospace field."
"Yes, Mr. Mu has led the Xinghai Group to achieve such great achievements in the aerospace field. This is also a microcosm of the rise of our country."
"Today's successful launch is a milestone for Xinghai Group's aerospace industry and an important achievement for our country. We should be proud of it and be proud of it."
"Let us applaud this successful launch and cheer for our country's aerospace industry!"
The audience in front of the TV station was also infected by the excited expressions of the host and experts. Many Chinese people even burst into tears, clapped with their families together, and couldn't help cheering.
The success of this space launch not only represents the strength of the Xinghai Group, but also demonstrates the unlimited potential and creativity of Huaguo's scientific and technological workers.
Mu Yang was sitting on the sofa watching live TV with his child. When he heard the host say this about him, he was a little embarrassed: Don't praise me like that, I'm taking care of the baby at home!
I went to the hospital for a check-up today. I missed a lot of things. Sitting was very uncomfortable. I didn’t complete the task of adding changes. I will try to make up for it later.
