Chapter 418 Chen Yangzhe’s Precious Gift
While Samsung Group is issuing severance packages, the reorganization of Yazhen Auto is also in full swing.
Yazhen Automobile has been able to maintain the top three in Korea over the years, and has a certain market share in Southeast Asia. Its own foundation is still good.
However, there are many same problems as other Korean companies, the most serious of which is seniority. To a certain extent, this behavior is actually learned from Japanese companies. It has to be admitted that these Southeast Asian countries, at the beginning of their rise, Most of them study in Japan.
Japan adopts a lifetime employment system, and employees are rarely fired. Therefore, most employees fish in their positions wherever they can, adhering to the principle of doing more, making more mistakes, and doing less mistakes, and not doing well. , not only the work efficiency is low, but also new employees have no motivation for promotion.
Generally, new employees will be handed over to an old employee to take care of them. The new employee is responsible for following the old employee and serving tea and water to the old employee in the office. When the old employee goes on a business trip, the new employee will carry his bag. After work, the old employee goes to have fun. New employees also have to accompany them for drinks. Some action movies from some island countries have a lot of similar plots. It can be said that art comes from life.
However, this is absolutely not allowed in Qin Hao. What caused the defeat of Japanese and Korean companies in the mainland? It is not the rise of domestic brands. Most of them are actually their own fault. For example, in the famous Samsung battery scandal, Samsung all over the world recalled it. As a result, only the mainland did not recall it, which directly caused the sales of Samsung mobile phones in China to plummet. What could have been a rival to Apple has become a niche brand.
Qin Hao would rather pay the price of suspending production for half a year than to completely reorganize the entire Yazhen Automobile from top to bottom. The first step is to completely change the management of Yazhen Automobile, leaving all the previous executives.
"How is the management recruitment of Samsung Motors going?" Qin Hao looked at Wu Shixian.
Wu Shixian sat upright: "It's going well, but the situation in the technical positions is not so optimistic. Those top students from Seoul National University don't have enough experience, and they need to be trained for at least three to five years before they can take up the leading roles."
This was also what Qin Hao expected. He didn't expect that newly graduated college students could quickly become technical masters.
"Then go and dig. No matter whether it is an American car company, a German car company, or a Japanese car company, as long as they are willing to come, they will offer three times the salary, and their families will be properly accommodated when they come. "
Shunyang Group's business covers all aspects of Korean society, including housing, education, and medical care. As for the old man, Qin Hao naturally has a way to get him to agree to help.
Wu Shixian joked: "I just like a wealthy boss like you."
Qin Hao was also happy and laughed and scolded: "Being rich also requires confidence. This acquisition of Yazhen Automobile has consumed a lot of working capital. Coupled with the subsequent acquisitions of Shunyang Automobile and Hando Steel, our cash flow is basically the same. It’s drying up, and during this time, you should prepare the financial department for audit.”
"Are you going to raise funds?" Wu Shixian asked cautiously.
The smile on Qin Hao's face gradually disappeared, and he said seriously: "Yes, this step must be taken after all."
To be honest, from the bottom of his heart, he is not willing to give up his shares easily at this stage. After all, Samsung Group still has a lot of room for growth. Doing so is undoubtedly giving money to others.
But there is no way. The Goryeo government is the godson of others. If it does not allow American capital to enter the game, if Samsung becomes slightly larger in the future, it will inevitably trigger U.S. sanctions. France's Alstom is the most obvious example.
The usual trick of the U.S. government is to insist on fair transactions when you do not threaten its own interests. Once you threaten its interests, it immediately raises the stick of sanctions. It really can’t find an excuse for sanctions, and even directly arrests you. people.
Half a month later, Xiancheng Daily once again reported an explosive news. After Yazhen Motors officially changed its name to Samsung Motors, it acquired Shunyang Motors again. Also acquired was Hando Steel, with a total acquisition value of 600 million. Dollar.
During the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, most Korean companies were tightening their belts and struggling to survive. Samsung Group frequently made large-scale acquisitions, and this company, which everyone originally thought was a vassal of Soonyang Group, suddenly became a Korean company. A star company in the eyes of the public.
And because Samsung Group has always adopted a professional manager system with clear promotion rules, it is also popular among young people. According to consistent data surveys, the average age of Samsung Group employees is ten years younger than other chaebols.
Although many chaebols say sourly that a company must be strong and rich, and a group of brats are unreliable. However, in fact, Samsung Group is the well-deserved No. 1 in the industry in the three fields of electronics, communications, and shipping.
On New Year's Day in 1998, Qin Hao appeared at Seoul Airport.
Almost half an hour later, a pretty figure appeared and threw herself into Qin Hao's arms.
"Ahem, pay attention to your image." Qin Hao patted Mao Xianmin's butt helplessly. The girl's long legs were clamped around his waist, and her whole body was hanging on him.
"Dear, have you missed me?" Mao Xianmin didn't pay attention to the curious looks cast by the people around him. He licked his red lips and asked Qin Hao's neck charmingly.
Unable to bear it any longer, Qin Hao kissed her directly until Mao Xianmin's breath became confused, and then he let go.
"Let's go, Grandpa and the others are still waiting at home."
"oh."
Mao Xianmin was obviously in a low mood, which was why she didn't really want to go back to Korea. Once she came back, she had to pretend to be a lady.
Back at Zhengxinzhai, not only the Chen family was there, but also Chairman Mao and others. It happened to be New Year's Day again, and the old lady suggested that we just have a party, so the current scene happened.
When Mao Xianmin got out of the car, she straightened her back immediately. She no longer had the sticky energy she had just in the car. She took Qin Hao's hand and walked into the front hall to greet her relatives. She looked like a lady and Qin Hao was stunned. I wanted to laugh, but she pinched me.
Unfortunately, this was her only struggle. Soon Mao Xianmin was surrounded by seven aunts and eight aunts, and there was only one topic surrounding them.
"When are you going to have kids?"
Mao Xianmin could only maintain an embarrassed yet smiling face, not daring to refute at all, and could only obey.
At first, Qin Hao stood by and gloated and watched, and then he was soon caught and criticized together. The central idea was how to let a married woman run around outside.
Well, after just a short while of co-writing, Mao Xianmin sold him out?
At this moment, Chen Yangzhe suddenly said: "When your first child is born, grandpa will arrange a very precious gift for you."
As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet. Chairman Mao and his family naturally began to think about whether Chen Yangzhe's so-called very precious gift was to hand over Shunyang Group to Qin Hao for inheritance. After all, Chen Yangzhe Yangzhe is already seventy years old, and at this age he should be able to retire and take care of himself.
In this way, both Samsung Group and Shunyang Group fell into the hands of his uncle. This was also a great blessing for the Mao family. Chairman Mao secretly winked at his son and daughter-in-law, indicating that they must convince his granddaughter when they return. , want a child as soon as possible.
Compared with the surprise for Chairman Mao and his family, this is bad news for the three brothers and sisters of Chen Yongji. Except for Chen Yunji's indifferent expression, Chen Yongji's face suddenly darkened.
Even Chen Dongji felt unhappy. He had been eyeing the position of the heir of Shunyang Group for so many years. He and his eldest brother Chen Yongji fought to the death over this. It was just that neither of the brothers could kill the other with a knife. .
As a result, the old man wanted to jump over them and pass the position of heir to his grandson. He couldn't even live a day as president. Even if the person who succeeded the president was his son, he was still mentally unbalanced.
As for Chen Yongji, he couldn't accept it even more. He believed that Shunyang Group was diligent and hard-working, and even helped his father to go to jail for his crimes. He should be the one to inherit Shunyang Group. He has been working hard for forty years. After waiting for forty years, until the old man was seventy years old, he only got this result?
Chen Yongji's eyes became particularly cold, and his eyes were fixed on Qin Hao and Mao Xianmin, who were surrounded by Mao's family.
"Shunyang Group is mine, no one can take it away!"
Chen Huaying, on the other hand, was weighing the situation. Anyway, she basically had no share in the position of heir. She would support whoever succeeded Shunyang Group and supported her own interests. Thinking of this, Chen Huaying picked up her wine glass and walked towards Mao Xianmin.
"Xianmin, there is a jewelry exhibition in Paris recently. How about we go there and see what you like? My aunt will buy it for you as a New Year's gift."
Mao Xianmin naturally understood that the other party was showing goodwill, so she turned to look at Qin Hao. It wasn't until Qin Hao nodded slightly at her that Mao Xianmin took Chen Huaying's hand and said with a smile.
"Then I'll thank aunt in advance."
"This kid, why are you so polite to your aunt?"
Here Chen Huaying and Mao Xianmin acted harmoniously, but over there Chen Yongji and Chen Dongji were cursing in their hearts: "Fools on the wall!"
However, in the end, Chen Huaying and Mao Xianmin failed to make the trip to the Paris Jewelry Show. The reason was that the impact of the Asian financial crisis in 1998 intensified. The entire Asian economy was severely impacted, and Korea was naturally not immune.
Business closures, workers' unemployment, and stock market crashes all combined to cause grief and mourning throughout Goryeo. In order to call on the people to share the hardship, Cheong Wa Dae launched a nationwide gold donation campaign.
The first representatives are naturally the family members of the chaebols. On the TV screen, those family members of the chaebols who are usually aloof and superior donated generously. They took off the jewelry they were wearing and weighed them on the spot. The whole scene was more entertaining than entertainment. The show is even more lively.
Qin Hao had to wonder whether the outdoor entertainment programs in Goryeo in later generations were inspired by this.
Under such a background, Chen Huaying and Mao Xianmin, as wealthy family members, naturally cannot blatantly appear at the Paris Jewelry Show and squander money. The two also contributed good acting skills at the donation scene, showing their compassion in front of the camera. Qin Hao almost believed his speech.
Of course, those gold jewelry are actually not worth much. After all, the value of gold is measured in grams. All the jewelry a woman has together cannot exceed one kilogram. Otherwise, how tiring would it be to wear it?
What the chaebol family members are really valuable are the jewelry inlaid with various precious gemstones, and these are naturally kept properly in the safe at home.
However, to Qin Hao's surprise, the effect of this donation was unexpectedly good. Not only did the Cheong Wa Dae receive a considerable amount of gold, but it also made the people's cohesion unprecedentedly high. It can only be said that Goryeo is really a Fantastic country.
After the Spring Festival, Qin Hao and Mao Xianmin appeared at Samsung Group again. Today is also the day when the American capital delegation officially entered Samsung Group for an audit. Qin Hao came to receive the delegation as the chairman of Samsung Group, while Mao Xianmin acted as a middleman. Ensure that collaboration can continue.
Driven by the power of capital, the audit went very smoothly and was completed in almost a month. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the projects Samsung Group is currently involved in are relatively single.
Representatives of American Capital also asked Qin Hao about this issue: "Samsung Group's current business is relatively single. How can it ensure rapid growth in the next few years?"
"This is precisely the main reason why Samsung Group acquired Ajin Auto, Soon Yang Auto, and Hando Steel. Given the current economic situation in Korea, more companies will go bankrupt, and the purpose of Samsung Group's financing is also to acquire these high-quality Assets and expand your own business scope at the same time!" Qin Hao answered unhurriedly.
The American capital delegation looked at each other and nodded, indicating that they agreed with this plan.
"So the focus of Samsung Group's business in the future will be cars? How do you ensure that in such a sluggish market environment, you can gain a firm foothold in the Japanese car base?"
Qin Hao shook his head and did not answer: "This involves commercial secrets. If this financing can be completed, I think you will see it."
"Mr. Chen Haojun, I think you should know that this will be directly related to the success of financing. If you don't explain this, it will be difficult for us to convince investors to agree to this investment."
Qin Hao did not waver at all, and said with a strong attitude: "If the financing is successful or not, if you want me to expose business secrets in advance, it only means that you are too amateur. Maybe I will propose to your boss to replace you and negotiate again. .”
Samsung Group's asset-liability ratio and performance are among the first echelons among similar companies. Investment is definitely a profit for American capital. The so-called market prospects are indeed a consideration, but there is no business in the world that is 100% risk-free. , Qin Hao does not intend to compromise on this, otherwise it will make American capital feel that he can manipulate it at will.
Faced with Qin Hao's threat, the American capital delegation did not continue to argue on this issue. After all, they were just part-time workers. Qin Hao could directly deal with their boss. If they offended him severely, it would not do them any good.
Three days later, Qin Hao and Mao Xianmin saw off the American capital delegation at Seoul Airport.
Mao Xianmin looked at the backs of the foreigners and asked worriedly: "Do you think this financing can be successful?"
"Of course, if it fails, it will only prove that they have no vision. At worst, I will borrow some money from Soros." Qin Hao smiled meaningfully.
