Chapter 340: Expansion and Troubles

Chen Changliu is also working overtime. He spends the whole day in the mobile phone division, discussing with Huang Zhang and many engineers some details of the Jade Bird series and Suzaku series, as well as the domestic version of the Meizu Pangu series.

At this time, Ke Meng walked in.

"Mr. Chen, Entrepreneur magazine has sent out an invitation, inviting you to attend the 2004 Domestic Business Leaders Annual Meeting held by Entrepreneur magazine at the end of this month!"

Chen Changliu asked a little strangely:

"It's already January 2005, and the annual meeting of business leaders hasn't been held yet?"

“Yes, this year we have invited dozens of business giants from Asia and Latin America to participate in this annual meeting of domestic business leaders.

Discuss business and environmental issues with 500 domestic business leaders. "

Chen Changliu thought for a while, then nodded and said:

"Okay, help me accept it. I must take a look at such a good opportunity!"

"Okay, I will put all the annual meeting procedures and all aspects of the topics discussed on your desk in a moment. Remember to take a look!"

During lunch, Chen Changliu carefully looked at the information of the annual meeting:

Held at the Huaxia Hotel on January 20, the theme was "The Ceiling of Globalization—Breaking through the Bottlenecks to Become a World-Class Enterprise."

At the same time, there are: "State-owned Enterprises 2004: A Year of Sharing Feast",

"Long-term countermeasures in the shadow of trade",

"Multinational Corporations: Reintegrating Domestically",

"Winter Tips for Private Enterprises: Coping with the Economic Cycle",

"The Third Decade: The Next Step Up",

"Real Estate Storm: Advantageous Enterprise Alliance and New Financial Movement",

"The Power of Finance: Transforming Banks",

"The future of the retail industry: creating a Chinese commercial aircraft carrier" was divided into topics.

The organizers hope to promote the internationalization process of domestic enterprises through discussions on the "ceiling": the resistance of the international market that local enterprises encounter in the process of becoming world-class enterprises, and the "floor": the political and economic environment of local enterprises.

How should I put it? Chen Changliu felt that it was too profound and far away from him. He was too lazy to use his brain to think about these literal things.

Anyway, I will definitely not get the opportunity to speak at this annual meeting. Those are only available to senior bigwigs in the business world.

Although I have become somewhat famous during this period, that is only for ordinary people who don’t know much about it.

But to be honest, in the business world, a flower grower is just a small Kalami. After all, the size of the company lies here.

It's just that it has some potential, no, it should be pretty good.

Others are large companies with a market value of billions or tens of billions. There are many companies like Big Penguin with a market value of more than one billion US dollars!

The purpose of his trip this time was very simple, just to gain some knowledge. Just go with your ears and eyes.

If possible, just get to know some companies in the upstream and downstream industry chains.

There was still half a month left, and Chen Changliu didn't pay much attention to this.

When I was tired and bored at the company, I went to Zhongan Security to brag and have fistfights with the key personnel. My life was very pleasant.

Zhongan Security is also expanding rapidly. Now the number of employees in the entire company has exceeded 200. With Chen Changliu's 20 million capital injection, the flower grower's monthly security expenses are also quite large, which can support a lot of time.

Moreover, after the training and help of the professionals sent there during this period, Zhongan Security has begun to receive business in Africa.

It can be said that Chen Changliu can now support himself, which makes Chen Changliu very satisfied.

He knew everything about Zhongan Security, not only the reports of Zeng Qiang, Xiang Hong, Zhao Da, and Zhao Er, but also the financial personnel who reported their financial status to him regularly.

Many things can also be roughly analyzed from the financial situation.

Of course, Chen Changliu still trusted them, but this kind of process should still be in place.

Of course, what makes him even more satisfied is that the Mori people are rapidly expanding their territory in Africa. It can be said that preliminary sales channels have been established in West and North Africa, which is why 800,000 units were sold in December.

Moreover, the marketing department has also begun to promote in these countries according to Nigeria's promotion method, but the scale is not as large as Nigeria.

Not only is the economic situation of each country different, but another reason is that flower growers are short of money.

Chen Changliu's Office

Financial manager Zhao Na constantly reported to him the company's financial status.

This was before the company held the annual summary meeting of senior managers. Chen Changliu listened to Zhao Na's financial status report alone.

"Mr. Chen, in the past year, our net profit from MP3 was more than 190 million yuan, that from lead-acid batteries was more than 42 million yuan, and that from Mozu mobile phones was more than 120 million yuan.

In terms of expenditure, 25.32 million yuan was spent on annual marketing expenses.

Operational management expenses including employee wages were 35.17 million, and research and development expenses were 31.67 million.

In the past year of 2004, the company had a profit of about 180 million yuan.

Coupled with the 150 million you previously injected into the company, the actual company's working capital plus the cost of product stocking should be about 350 million yuan.

This is a detailed financial statement, please take a look! "

After saying that, Zhao Na put a piece of information on Chen Changliu's desk, and then continued to report:

"The company now has a RMB 100 million loan from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, as well as a super factory...

In the next six months, we will have to pay the following amounts...”

After Zhao Na reported a lot, she concluded:

"Mr. Chen, the Meizu series, Blue Bird series and Suzaku series mobile phones that will be launched in China next, according to the information submitted by the marketing department, OEM department, etc.

We have at least 4 million units of products in stock in China, plus raw materials from Africa and MP3 lead-acid batteries, etc., we need at least 600 million.

In addition to the construction costs of the super factory, etc., we need about 650 million.

That is to say, if the company wants to follow the established expansion plan and stocking plan, then our gap is about 300 million.

However, I have had preliminary communication with the factory directors of major banks, and we can still borrow 100 million from them.

The main reason is that we owe ICBC 100 million, and the money we borrowed to buy the super factory land, so the amount we can borrow is not high.

Do you think we can adjust the inventory amount...”

After Zhao Na left, Chen Changliu carefully read the financial statements for a long time, then sighed, leaned back in the boss chair and rubbed his head.

Well, it's a bit of a headache, this gap is too big.

When making plans before, Zhao Na reminded herself that if this happens, the company's financial pressure will be very large, and there may be a huge gap.

At that time, I didn't pay much attention to it. After all, the Meizu mobile phone has been in the African market. In the past December, 800,000 mobile phones were sold. With the previous 500,000, the flower-growing family has made more than 100 million from mobile phones.

This is also The reason why he was so ambitious to launch three mobile phones at the same time.

Although he didn't have to pay the full amount, the current liquidity of the flower-growing family still couldn't afford it.

In January, the mobile phone market in Africa and the domestic MP3, lead-acid batteries, etc., could definitely make about 150 million, but the sales proceeds could not flow back to the head office so quickly, and distant water could not quench immediate thirst.

However, when he saw the money earned from the mobile phone and the R&D expenses spent on the mobile phone project, he finally understood why so many people were willing to assemble it instead of spending a lot of money on R&D.

Because it saves effort and makes money!
