Chapter 1402 Ni Guangnan Goes South to Meet Mr. Yang!

Smart people would want to stay with Yang Ming, regardless of whether they can learn more or not, but for them, being able to stay with Yang Ming is a rare opportunity.

Lin Zhiling may not be good at studying, but she is smart in this aspect.

Of course, this is what Lin Fannan hopes for.

"Sir Yang, since Zhiling wants to stay with you, let her stay with you."

Lin Fannan knew very well that without Yang Ming's support, he would never be able to become the king of aluminum products.

That day.

Lin Fannan brought Lin Zhiling here.

Then he went back.

This time, he took Lin Zhiling to the villa in the middle of the hill in Repulse Bay, and then brought his wife who had stayed in Hong Kong for many years back to Taiwan.

For Lin Fannan, as long as his daughter was with Sir Yang, he didn't have to worry about his business affairs.

That day, Li Jiaxin and others had already learned that there was another beauty around Mr. Yang, and the most important thing was that this beauty was a wealthy woman in Taiwan.

When Yang Ming was in the study, he only saw Yingla and Alina here.

Lin Zhiling was taken by Ah Zhu and others to adapt to life here.

When Lin Zhiling came here, she stayed here not as a maid, but as a female assistant.

. . .

Rest for a night.

Early the next morning.

Yang Ming got up to have breakfast. Lin Zhiling wanted to follow Yang Ming to the Empire Group, but Yang Ming still asked her to stay in the Repulse Bay Hillside Villa.

Yang Ming returned to the chairman's office at the Empire Group headquarters.

Lin Xiuzhi also brought some domestic information to Yang Ming.

What surprised Yang Ming was that the domestic economy was actually in the field of health care products. In 1994, the annual turnover of this health care product had exceeded 40 billion RMB, involving thousands of companies and 20,000 to 30,000 products.

Yang Ming knew that most of these health care products relied on a lot of advertising to sell, and the most important thing was that they were very profitable.

However, in fact, most of these health care products were fine as long as they did not kill people. If you want to say what effect they have, it is more of a psychological effect.

At that time, Yang Ming took into account that a large number of Chinese medicine prescriptions were spread to Japan, so Yang Ming also attached great importance to Chinese medicine.

And now these so-called health products, many prescriptions come from Chinese medicine.

Now some people suggest whether the Empire Group should also set up such a health product company in China, because it is really profitable.

Including Shi Yuzhu, which has developed to a certain extent in the field of Chinese cards in China, and now it has begun to develop in the field of health products.

Yang Ming saw the suggestions of the people below, and he directly denied it.

For Yang Ming, there are many places where he can make money, but it is not that he has to rush into it just because he sees this money-making.

When most of the health product companies have problems in the future, if he is also involved in it, it will still have a great impact on him and even the Empire Group.

"Don't let the Empire Group mention health products in the future."

"Boss, are you saying that this is a lie?"

"Almost, we don't need to make money from this."

Lin Xiuzhi, He Chao thought about it and thought so.

It is indeed too easy for Yang Ming to make money, but not all money can be made.

After denying the health care product business, it means that the Empire Group will no longer be involved in it.

Now, it will never be involved in the future.

As for other people, Yang Ming will not publicly say that those health care products are deceptive.

It was time to get off work that afternoon.

Yang Ming was ready to go back.

And Yang Ming received a call from Lin Dezhong.

"Boss, Mr. Ni is here."

Mr. Ni?

Yang Ming only knew one Mr. Ni.

It was Ni Guangnan.

This time, Ni Guangnan went south to Hong Kong to see Yang Ming for something very important.

"I'm going back now."

. . .

Yang Ming took a car back to the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.

After getting off the car, Lin Dezhong came over and said, "Boss, Mr. Ni arrived here at around four o'clock in the afternoon."

Yang Ming did not hear in advance that Ni Guangnan was going south to see him.

However, this time the other party went south to see him for something very important, otherwise, he could wait until the end of September when Yang Ming went to Yanjing to participate in the National Day and meet again then.

"Mr. Yang."

Yang Ming and Ni Guangnan met almost once a year in Yanjing.

Yang Ming met Ni Guangnan when he went to Yanjing to attend the National Day.

At this time, Yang Ming met Ni Guangnan again, and the two sides had been cooperating for many years.

Although Ni Guangnan did not have many shares in Lianxiang, he was now the general manager of Lianxiang, and many things and company decisions were decided by him.

In recent years, Lianxiang has become the largest computer company in China under the development of Ni Guangnan and others.

However, Lianxiang now is different from Lianxiang in history.

Because Lianxiang in history was led by Liu Chuanzhi.

However, Lianxiang has nothing to do with Liu Chuanzhi now.

"Mr. Yang, I came to Hong Kong to see you this time. There are two important things about Lianxiang. I hope you can support me."

"You say."

"One of them is that I hope the company can be listed in Hong Kong and Shanghai at the same time. Second, I hope to support Lianxiang's development in the field of chips."

Listing?

Developing chips?

At this time, the nature of Lianxiang was considered by many to be foreign-funded, Hong Kong-funded, or even joint ventures and private.

However, in Ni Guangnan's view, this is a domestic computer and a hope for domestic production.

Now that Yang Ming heard Ni Guangnan talking about this incident, he thought of Lian Xiang in history.

Lianxiang in history.

There was also a fork in the road in 1994.

One of them was successfully listed in Xiangjiang, and Liu Chuanzhi also used this method to swallow up most of Lianxiang's shares and gradually controlled Lianxiang from behind.

Another thing is that the conflict and split between Liu Chuanzhi and Ni Guangnan started here.

Historically, Ni Guangnan was the inventor of Lianxiang Hanka, and he has always been regarded as a symbol of Lianxiang's high technology. However, around 1994, due to the upgrade of the software system, Hanka products were declining in the market, and their contribution to the company was already negligible. Ni Guangnan was determined to create a new technological commanding height for Lianxiang, and the direction he chose was "chips."

At that time, chip technology was changing rapidly internationally, and companies such as Intel controlled the direction of technology.

If Lianxiang can achieve a breakthrough in this field, it will establish its position in the global computer industry in one fell swoop.

Ni Guangnan was so excited about his discovery that he traveled to Shanghai, Xiangjiang and other places to recruit talents and established the "Lianhai Microelectronics Design Center" in an attempt to complete his achievements in one battle.

His idea was called the "Z National Core" project. Because of its unlimited imagination, it received enthusiastic support from the Z Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Electronic Industry. The Z Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Electronic Industry even promised that Lianxiang would take the lead and the organization would be strong. computer companies to participate in formulating a national investment plan.

However, Ni Guangnan's plan was unexpectedly opposed by Liu Chuanzhi.

In Liu's view, the chip project has huge risks and cannot be supported by Lianxiang's existing strength. The Z-country company is still unable to change the pattern of the world's computer industry in terms of technical background, industrial foundation, capital strength and management capabilities.

Ni Guangnan "really puts technology first and does not know what is going on in the entire market." Therefore, Liu Chuanzhi made it clear in a letter to Ni Guangnan that "I personally do not agree with the hasty launch."

According to his idea, Lianxiang should increase the creation of its own brand, give full play to its cost advantage, and implement industrial breakthroughs.

Therefore, he appointed Yang Yuanqing as the general manager of the newly established microcomputer division, and handed over the entire process of microcomputer to this young man in his early 30s.

In his view, "If you have high-tech products, you may not be able to sell them; only by selling them can you make money."

In this way, ten years of continuous thinking came to a turbulent fork in the road.

The relationship between Liu and Ni deteriorated rapidly. Ni Guangnan could not restrain his disappointment and lack of understanding of Liu Chuanzhi. Soon, every work meeting in Lian Xiang became a quarrel between the two.

These two leaders, who were very confident in their own judgments, could not convince each other at all. Liu Chuanzhi believed that Ni Guangnan was "messing around", while Ni Guangnan said, "I will never be done with you."

He began to accuse Liu Chuanzhi of his domineering style, and then accused him of having serious financial problems.

This close pair of "Gemini constellations" reached the precipice of separation between life and death, Liu Chuanzhi and Ni Guangnan. Liu Chuanzhi said sadly to his friends: "He will never stop until I am thrown into prison."

During the period of close relationship, "Liu Ni Pei" was talked about by the media. Liu Chuanzhi once said: "Some people are like pearls, and some people are not pearls and cannot shine like pearls, but he is a line and can shine like a pearl." String those pearls together and make a dazzling necklace, I think, I am that thread.”

This metaphor sounds very vivid, but there is an "image paradox": when the pearls are strung into a dazzling necklace, the thread will disappear. In fact, the "willow thread" is more beautiful than any other. All pearls must be dazzling.

The interaction and conflict of "thread and pearl" were realistically and cruelly interpreted in the Liu Ni incident.

At that time, the media also observed the rising Liu Ni controversy, which was considered a duel between the "market faction" and the "technical faction."

This embarrassing and painful quarrel for everyone lasted throughout the second half of the year. The Z Academy of Sciences sent a working group to investigate, and almost all senior executives within Lianxiang sided with the real Liu Chuanzhi.

The working group's report stated that "no material was found to prove that Comrade Liu Chuanzhi has personal financial problems." In order to avoid suspicion, Hong Kong businessman Lui Tanping was also persuaded to withdraw his shares.

By the beginning of 1995, the outcome gradually became clear. On June 30, Lianxiang's board of directors agreed to "remove Comrade Ni Guangnan from the position of chief engineer of Lianxiang Group Company."

The evaluation of any corporate strategic decision is a dilemma. "Results" are often the only basis for reference. It was later proven that Liu Chuanzhi brought Lianxiang to a new growth peak. However, in the following years, many people have been stubbornly arguing: If we continue in Ni Guangnan's direction, Lianxiang and even the computer industry of country Z will be in danger. What kind of scene is it?

For a long time, the computer and home appliance industries in Country Z have been swinging between the development priorities of "trade", "manufacturing" and "technology".

Lianxiang, like all companies in Zhongguancun, started by trading, gradually formed industrial manufacturing capabilities, and then sought advancement in technology. Companies such as Haier, Changhong and Kelon in the home appliance industry all started by introducing production lines, and then Successful in marketing.

Therefore, "trade, industry, technology" and "trade, industry, technology" are the two major growth models. Without exception, technology is the weakest and lagging link in core capabilities.

When these enterprises gradually grow and compete head-on with multinational companies in the Z country market, the current situation of technological backwardness becomes very clear.

At this moment, the choice of where to go is sensitive and extremely critical. In the history of Z country enterprises, the dispute between Liu and Ni has a strong implication. It shows how Chinese entrepreneurs think and choose when facing international competition and technological development bottlenecks.

An unavoidable fact is that in the mid-to-late 1990s, almost all well-known entrepreneurs chose the Liu-style path. (End of this chapter)
