Chapter 430 Conversation

Since Tianwen-2 will take a full 72 days to reach its destination, even if Kang Chi is more interested in finding new elements, he can only put it aside for the time being.

After returning to Dongyang, Kang Chi first called Ming Yuhan over and asked about the situation of Dahan Silicon Industry.

After learning that Shanghai Silicon Industry had officially sent someone to take over Dahan Silicon Industry two days ago, Kang Chi suddenly asked her: "What do you think of the position of group general manager?"

Group general manager?

After hearing this word, Ming Yuhan was obviously shocked.

Zhang Qing resigned and the group changed its manager. Is it really coming?

The position of general manager of the group in Longteng Group is definitely less than one person and more than ten thousand people. In addition, Kangchi rarely interferes with the specific operations of the group, so the internal power is simply astonishing.

Not only is he powerful internally, but as Kangchi's 'agent', he is also very popular outside. Not only does he travel on a special plane every time, but when discussing projects, the leaders from all over the country are extremely enthusiastic, and they are casually finalized from Zhang Qing's hands. One project may be able to directly take off the economy of a county or even a city.

With such an attractive position, Zhang Qing actually just said he wouldn't take it?

However, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Although the group has been much smaller after a round of optimization, it is still a large group with more than 100,000 employees. Perhaps others can only see the glory of Zhang Qing. On the one hand, as a senior manager who often has contact with Zhang Qing, Ming Yuhan actually knows very well how much effort and effort Zhang Qing has put in behind the rapid development of the group.

Anyway, every time Ming Yuhan comes to see her, she gets a quick response no matter day or night. This kind of working status of being on call 24 hours a day all year round makes Ming Yuhan feel confident Ashamed...

The key is to encourage the work efficiency of the management. Once you enter the group's management, there is no clear overtime pay. All overtime results will only be reflected in the performance appraisal of the year-end bonus.

If you work overtime every day and do things here and there, but your performance does not improve, not only will you not get the year-end bonus, but you may be demoted.

If you just conscientiously complete the tasks assigned by your superiors, even if your performance is not up to standard, the year-end bonus you deserve will be paid, and your superiors will only take the blame.

To be honest, if other companies did this, they would probably be out of business a long time ago.

But at Longteng Group, the situation is slightly different.

In terms of scientific research, Kang Chi leads the team, and in terms of management, Zhang Qing is responsible. As long as they cooperate well, there will be no problem in planning the direction of technology and development. It will be a good thing for the group that the people below just lie down and don't do things here and there. Good thing.

Therefore, if you don't have C ability but have a C heart, you will only get worse and worse in Longteng Group. The management system will teach you that if you are not strong enough, you can play support with peace of mind.

Anyone who dares to get involved in the group and is still in a high position is basically a top talent.

After Ming Yuhan pondered for a moment, he gave a very objective answer: "I think the importance of the group general manager in company management is about the same as your importance in company technology research and development."

"As long as the people below work hard and work steadily, it will be fine if they have little ability, but your ability must be strong, and both parties must cooperate well, otherwise the development speed of the group will definitely slow down."

Kang Chi nodded and asked, "Do you think you are qualified for this position?"

"I……"

Hearing Kang Chi's obvious hint, Ming Yuhan's heart suddenly beat violently.

In the mixed workplace, who doesn’t want a promotion and a salary increase?

But thinking of the importance of the person at the helm of the group, Ming Yuhan finally took a deep breath and replied: "Although after several years of training, I can barely manage a production company like Dahan Silicon Industry, but managing such a big plate of the group, I feel... My ability is still not enough to keep up with your pace..."

"Um……"

Kang Chi was somewhat surprised when he heard Ming Yuhan's answer.

To be honest, he was obsessed with the laboratory all day long and rarely cared about company management. He also lacked understanding of Zhang Qing's work content. He only felt that the company was not short of money or people, so it should be well managed.

So Kang Chi made an expression as if he was testing her and asked, "What do you think is the difference between managing Dahan Silicon and the entire group?"

After Ming Yuhan pondered for a moment, he replied: "Dahan Silicon Industry is a relatively stable enterprise that can operate normally as long as it follows the steps, but the group as a whole is expanding crazily and constantly expanding its territory. These two The things and pressures that form brings to management are completely different."

"Have you not seen how Mr. Zhang racks her brains all day long for the launch of new companies and new projects? I guess she is usually so busy that she doesn't even have time to put on a facial mask... I think the position of general manager of our group is It’s really not something ordinary people can do.”

"So exaggerated?" Kang Chi couldn't help but wonder, "Don't the group have an advisory group?"

"The advisory group is just an auxiliary. The one who really makes the decision must not be Mr. Zhang? This is just like the emperor's approval in the past. Although he has absolute rights and the 'cabinet minister' has formulated a solution, what she did Every decision still requires its own thinking and weighing, and decisions made casually may harm the country and the people.”

"In fact, managing a group is essentially the same as managing a country. With the current scale of the group, Mr. Zhang may have to deal with more things than some small countries. There are too many documents to read and make decisions every day. …”

After listening to Ming Yuhan's words, Kang Chi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

All along, his requirement for the general manager of the group was that he had to have decent management skills and be able to be a hands-off boss without worrying about it.

But after Ming Yuhan said this, he realized that what he thought was "decent management skills" was actually too low.

Perhaps when Zhang Qing first came, because the scale of the group was not large, Kang Chi's requirements were no problem,

but with the crazy expansion of the group, the requirements for managers will inevitably rise, which forces Zhang Qing to constantly improve herself, because if the speed of self-improvement is not fast enough, she may not be able to control this huge ship.

Judging from the previous status of the group, Zhang Qing managed it pretty well. Although there was nothing particularly eye-catching in management, at least the group did not seem to have any major problems. This alone shows the efforts she made behind the scenes.

Thinking of this, Kang Chi suddenly felt a little distressed...

After a while, Kang Chi slowly said: "In your opinion, who else among the group's senior executives is more suitable for this position?"

Ming Yuhan immediately shook his head: "I don't know..."

"Do you really not know, or are you afraid of saying the wrong thing?"

"Is it both..."

After a moment of silence, Ming Yuhan finally couldn't help asking: "In fact, President Zhang is doing a good job, why is she leaving suddenly? Can't you find a way to keep her?"

Kang Chi's expression stiffened slightly.

To be honest, he still regretted the hasty decision that day, but he couldn't bear to withdraw it now because he had already said it and agreed to it.

And since he knew that this position was so hard, it was a bit too cruel to let people stay and continue to work...

After Ming Yuhan left, Kang Chi called Zhuoyue Wen, the CEO of Dahan Xinye.

This was the second person on Kang Chi's shortlist.

He had little contact with Zhuoyuewen and was not familiar with him. He only knew that he was a PhD graduate from Harvard's Department of Economics and Management, and the human resources department had spent a lot of effort to dig him over from OmniVision in the United States.

In the two years since he was appointed as the CEO of Dahan Xinye, his performance at the beginning could only be described as ordinary.

But as he adapted to the environment and the company, his report card last year was the most eye-catching in the entire group, with a profit increase of nearly 30 times, making it the most profitable company except for his own son "Datang Heavy Industry".

The main reason for such a large increase in performance is his strong ability to expand overseas business. He almost single-handedly developed Dahan Xinye into the world's second-ranked CMOS image sensor supplier. The market share of CMOS sensor application fields such as consumer electronics, security monitoring, automobiles, intelligent transportation, machine vision, scientific instruments, and professional imaging has surpassed OmniVision and Samsung in all aspects.

The reason why he failed to surpass Soni and become the first was that the group was on the selection list and some places were really unsaleable.

As the United States is about to abandon the YT strategy, the long-arm jurisdiction is about to end, and a larger market is still waiting for him.

In addition, Dahan Xinye's PC-side CPU and GPU business is also developing rapidly, but because the production has not yet fully started and the domestic market is not saturated, it is not yet time to expand overseas, let alone the quantum chip business, which is unique and cannot be sold for the time being.

In general, Zhuoyuewen's ability is quite in line with the group's future overseas strategic needs.

Hearing that Kang Chi wanted to talk to him, Zhuoyuewen immediately canceled all his trips and rushed to Dongyang to meet Kang Chi that afternoon.

The two first talked about the situation of Dahan Xinye, and then Kang Chi suddenly asked him: "What do you think and suggest about the group's big development strategy?"

Big development strategy?

Zhuoyue Wen was slightly stunned, and after sorting out his thoughts, he quickly replied: "You have given our group an absolute advantage in technology in various business fields. For a technology group, this is basically invincible. The difference between a good development strategy and a bad one is only the speed of development. Therefore, the pressure of strategy formulation has never been great."

"As for suggestions, in fact, if you didn't ask, I have always wanted to mention it. Don't you think that as a high-tech group, we are still too conservative in using finance to accelerate development?"

As expected, he has studied economics, and his eyes are always on finance.

In fact, Kang Chi himself knows the conservatism of the group's financing methods.

For a long time, he has relied on the means of seeking loans from the state for development financing, and the state basically responds to all requests, so there is no problem of funds for development.

But with the increasing number of national science and technology infrastructure projects, Kang Chi's projects are getting bigger and bigger. This method alone is not enough. Kang Chi chose to optimize some companies some time ago for this reason.

In fact, in addition to optimizing assets, there are many ways to raise funds. The simplest one is to go public directly and raise funds through the stock market.

But to be honest, Kang Chi has a very bad impression of the stock market.

The listing of companies is supposed to be a good thing for raising funds from the public for development, and then giving back to investors in return.

The result has turned into a financial game of speculation and profiteering, where the big fish eat the small fish.

This environment has led to the fact that truly high-quality and well-managed companies will not be too obsessed with listing.

On the contrary, most of the companies that are clamoring to go public and ring the bell every day are bad companies that sell feelings and concepts.

The purpose of their listing is to cash out at a high position, cut the leeks of ordinary stockholders, and thus realize the financial game of doubling assets.

Financial institutions have played a role in fueling the flames, and even "strategizing and controlling the overall situation" and harvesting leeks together.

In any case, for ordinary stockholders and companies that are developing steadily, the stock market is a pit.

Kang Chi and Zhang Qing have also talked about this issue. Zhang Qing also agrees with Kang Chi's practice of not going public.

When the group's financing pressure is not great, the purpose of going public is to do "charity" so that more ordinary people can enjoy the dividends of the group's development.

But if it really goes public, the only ones who get the dividends are those large institutions and capital, and the purpose of profit sharing cannot be achieved at all. At the same time, in order to fight with those capitals that manipulate stock prices, a lot of energy has to be wasted, and there is no reason to go public at all.

"I just don't understand. We know the stock market is a trap, and we hear only examples of people losing money. Why do so many people keep investing in it..."

"It's very simple. Just look at how lively the casinos are. To put it nicely, people in the stock market are just stockholders. To put it bluntly, they are just gamblers who think they can win. The more they buy, the more they gamble." Zhang Qing made a sharp analysis at the time, "And the greedy nature of people means that the gambling market will never be deserted or declining. Besides, investment is gambling in the first place. You can't stop people from investing."

Kang Chi smiled and replied, "That's true. When you invested in me, you also had a strong gambling nature. It was instinctive."

And then there was nothing else...

Retracting his thoughts, Kang Chi slowly raised his head and looked at Zhuo Yuewen.

"Do you think our financing methods should be more aggressive?"

"If the group still wants to develop rapidly, I think it is necessary to continue to expand the scale of financing."

"Explain it in detail."

"I know that you and Mr. Zhang are both reluctant to go public, so I won't talk about the methods of going public. I don't know if you have heard of corporate bonds?"

"I haven't heard of it, but it sounds like it should be similar to national debt."

"Yes, I think we can apply to issue corporate bonds, borrow money directly from ordinary investors, and pay them fixed interest. With the strength of our group, this is definitely a stable win-win model, which will allow us to develop without worrying about funds, and more ordinary investors can enjoy the dividends of our development."

"It sounds good." Kang Chi nodded, "Then what do you think is the right interest rate?"

"2%-5%, it depends on how much you want to give to investors."

"Well...but this is up to 5%, what's the explanation? After all, our current general direction is to cut interest rates, and the United States has been raising interest rates for so long, and it's only more than 5 points, and it will soon be It has come down."

"It is because the United States wants to reduce interest rates that we want a higher point. Not only domestic funds, but we also want to attract as much global funds as possible." Zhuoyue Wen analyzed carefully, "Although this will also allow foreign capital to eat our dividends, corporate bonds have a stable profit rate after all. As long as we can make more money with their money, it is completely acceptable."

"As for the continuous interest rate cuts in the general direction, it is entirely to prevent the old M from bursting our financial bubble. We chose to actively break and digest it. At present, it is estimated that it will take some time to consolidate the results and heal the wounds. However, the country cannot raise interest rates significantly in a short period of time, which does not mean that our corporate bonds cannot. Again, as long as we have enough strength to make more money with money, there will be no bubbles and financial risks. "

Kang Chi pondered for a moment before nodding and said, "I will consider it. If you have nothing to do, you can do your own thing first."

Although he actually prepared several plans, he heard that Kang Chi had already issued an order to expel him, so Zhuoyue Wen naturally couldn't say anything.

As for the purpose of Kang Chi's sudden talk to him today, he actually vaguely guessed that this might be an assessment of him.

After Zhuo Yuewen left, Kang Chi thought for a long time alone, and finally couldn't help but pick up the phone, found Zhang Qing's name and dialed it.
