“In the past, we cooperated with the country and actively participated in the Western Development Strategy, as well as infrastructure projects such as highways, and the rewards for us were quite generous. For example, in the photovoltaic industry, the Western Lighting Project directly promoted our technological upgrade in the field of photovoltaic cells. And the right to speak, and then the Sky Eye project made Haishi become the global leader in the field of security. Not to mention highways, just letting us collect tolls is equivalent to pension insurance.”
Su Yuanshan spoke slowly and smiled slightly: “In the middle of this year, the province suffered another major earthquake. Although the post-disaster reconstruction has little to do with us, we have enjoyed the dividends of the consumption boom after the reconstruction.”
Everyone nodded.
The most popular ones in post-disaster reconstruction are mainly the construction units and the entire industrial chain that follows them. As a semiconductor technology company, Yuanxin is indeed irrelevant. But at the time of the earthquake, whether it was YOS’s earthquake warning or Huayuan’s May promotion season, some people were lucky enough to escape.
Not to mention Yuan Xin’s 100-school plan a few years ago – none of the schools Yuan Xin built had any problems. Even because Yuanxin is generous enough and the 100-school plan covers a wide enough area, schools, where any accident is a big deal, almost become the safest place during an earthquake…
In addition, on the day of the earthquake, Yuanxin announced a donation of 1 billion for earthquake relief, and then donated countless materials…
Ordinary people have always paid attention to simple thoughts of grudges. Not to mention other places, at least the people in the province, when they want to buy something, point to the Yuanxin brand.
——You know, even if the mountain cities are divided, the province will still have a population of 80 million!
“Taking superstition as an example, these are the good relationships we have formed before, and now they are rewarded. How and where to connect the good relationships in the future… is a question we need to consider. You know, the stock market will not It’s a lie. On the day after the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the stock price began to rise sharply, and the leading rise was not ordinary shareholders, but capital—overseas capital.”
“This means that whether it is international or domestic, the future development of the country is bullish, and quite bullish.”
Su Yuanshan spoke slowly, and everyone listened carefully.
He rarely attends corporate meetings now. Even if he does, he only goes there with an ear and only asks questions when business is critical. He rarely expresses his views on the economy and the situation from a high position from a high position.
To put it bluntly, he usually said these words in the executive board meeting.
He mentioned it today, naturally because the departments here, especially Jingwei and Haishi, are complete subsidiary structures and can be separated at any time to fly independently. The department leaders of these two companies are both engaged in technology and design. The growth stage relies purely on advanced technology and the huge endorsement of Yuanxin… Therefore, compared with ordinary companies, especially those who have been “small” Enterprises and competitors that have grown up as “workshops” lack grasp and understanding of the general direction in terms of being “philistine”.
Of course, Su Yuanshan can completely understand this – if it were him, with a backer as big as Yuanxin behind him and a “think tank” as powerful as the executive board responsible for taking the pulse, he would follow his nature and focus on products. – After all, this is a path that has been proven feasible.
“In the future, everyone should think more about what the country’s direction is and what it should be. Now we let the country cooperate and we don’t show it, but we can still influence some policies and directions to a certain extent-as long as this direction has It is beneficial to the family and the country. We have a symbiotic relationship with the country. All our achievements largely depend on the dividends brought by the rapid development of this country, not on how awesome we are or how good we are at doing business – I think Gong You may know this very well.”
Mr. Gong coughed lightly and nodded with a smile: “Indeed, just as Mr. Shan said, the Skynet project alone can support us… Moreover, there are many companies that make money in China. , and then lose money abroad…”
“Well, the product has no core technical support and no brand advantage. Of course, this is the only way to have a chance to grab the market.” Su Yuanshan said with emotion.
Domestic enterprises, except those export-oriented enterprises, domestic consumer products, such as home appliances and personal PCs, have no core technology and no brand advantage. It is really difficult to enter the international market… especially traditional ones. In the notebook field, except for Yuanxin, others, including Chengdian Hi-Tech, have to rely on their cost advantages to compete overseas with established companies such as Dell and HP.
The reason why Yuanxin is excluded is that on the one hand, the Yuanxin brand is no longer inferior to those of the old PC manufacturers. On the other hand, Yuanxin also takes advantage of WinOS and Suzaku series processors. Under the YX architecture, there is no competitor.
“Okay, I’ll stop here, Mr. Duan.”

After the meeting, He Wei followed Su Yuanshan back to the courtyard.
“Thank you for your hard work. When will you go back?”
Su Yuanshan poured a cup of coffee for He Wei and looked at him with a smile: “What are Guoqiao doing recently?”
“Working, what else can I do?” He Wei pursed her lips and smiled: “With the liberalization of radio and television policies, it is becoming increasingly difficult to do the set-top box business. He is anxious to get angry all day long…”
“Tell him not to be impatient. There is no need to be impatient – by the way, don’t we still have a European market? Don’t keep focusing on China.”
“The European and American markets are also annoyed. On the one hand, the mobile Internet is developing too fast, and on the other hand, smart Internet TVs are also emerging… It is indeed a bit uncomfortable for set-top boxes to be caught in the middle.”
“Well, the situation of set-top boxes is indeed a bit embarrassing. The only option is to cooperate more with operators and take the equipment supplier route… But in this way, the challenge is not high, and it all depends on relationships.”
“Oh, that’s what I advised you to do.” He Wei sighed, feeling quite helpless.
Su Yuanshan laughed.
Even He Wei, a gold medal marketing consultant, has nothing to do. It can be seen that there is really not much room for maneuver in the set-top box market – of course, there must be profits, and they are very generous.
But Sun Guoqiao is a classmate of Mr. Shan, and his wife is the marketing president of Yuanxin. With such awesome conditions, Sun Guoqiao is obviously unwilling and a little anxious if he just maintains “business”.
“Anyway, don’t worry. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll think of other businesses. There’s no need to hang ourselves from a tree, don’t you think?” Su Yuanshan said casually.
He Wei immediately blinked: “Mr. Shan, can you give me some directions?”
Su Yuanshan laughed: “Where should I point?”
“…”
The two of them just smiled. Then, Su Yuanshan glanced outside the door, pondered for a few seconds and then said softly: “He Wei, are you busy with your next work?”
“Huh? Mr. Shan, just tell me.”
“Well… then I’ll just tell you that I’m going to Europe in a while. If you’re not busy, come with me.”
He Wei was startled for a moment, then pursed her lips.
After thinking silently for a moment, she asked softly: “Then stay over there?”
“Yes.” Su Yuanshan nodded, with a hint of apology on his face: “But you don’t need to stay long… Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen and I, Lao Duan’s idea is that we have to bundle the European business and the African business together.”
“In the past, our business was mainly divided into Europe, America and Asia-Pacific, but now it seems that with the acceleration of the economic situation, our business scope has increased. It is difficult for Carter alone to fully control the European and American markets. Therefore, For the next overseas strategic deployment, we will choose to focus on Europe and the United States, and carry out key expansion in the two places respectively, and Carter will be mainly responsible for the Americas.”
“As for why we need to connect Europe and Africa… In addition to geographical factors, there is also the fact that at present, we need help from Lyon to successfully carry out work in Africa.”
“And you are responsible for all aspects of work, including semiconductors, mobile phones, communication technology, electronic consumer products and other businesses…”
He Wei took a gentle breath after hearing this.
This is equivalent to Yuanxin setting up a European branch and making her the president of the branch.
“The reason why I am considering you… I will make it clear. First of all, it is your ability. You are the only executive of Yuanxin who has been exposed to all fields. Secondly, they focus on marketing rather than R&D. This is your Strengths. Finally…” Su Yuanshan paused as he spoke and looked at He Wei with a smile.
“What was it in the end?” He Wei became a little curious – in her opinion, these two reasons were enough.
“In the end, of course, you’re a woman.”
He Wei: “…”
Su Yuanshan smiled meaningfully: “Europe is more politically correct than the United States. If you go there, you will obviously be able to get unexpected support.”
——With the development of the Internet, whether it is the margins of speech or certain trends of thought, they are fermenting and spreading at a rate ten to a hundred times faster than before, and due to institutional reasons, it has gradually turned into politics. correct. As an ordinary person, Su Yuanshan is a little annoyed by this, but as an entrepreneur, Su Yuanshan not only has no intention of fighting against these “political correctness”, but on the contrary, using political correctness is the most correct choice.
He Wei couldn’t laugh or cry after hearing this: “What kind of crooked way is this?”
Su Yuanshan laughed: “Don’t tell me, there are really no evil ways there. You will understand after you go there.”
After a pause, Su Yuanshan continued: “Of course, this is just one of the plans we are currently considering. Well… you can also understand that it is the best plan, but everything respects your personal opinion.”
He Wei nodded, pursed her lips and began to think.
She completely believed that what Su Yuanshan said about “respecting your personal opinions” was not a polite statement, but that Su Yuanshan really considered it this way.
Then, she also understood that if she wanted to take advantage of the economic boom of the Olympic Games to quickly open up a better situation in Europe and the United States… the current plan was indeed the best, and she… was indeed the best.
After a few seconds, she nodded slightly and looked at Su Yuanshan: “What about Carter’s opinion?”
“Carter has no objection.” Su Yuanshan breathed out softly.
As the first foreigner on the executive board and currently the only foreigner, Carter has been assimilated by Yuanxin’s leadership a long time ago.
To put it bluntly, Carter, as executive director, has already stood at the top of the pyramid of Yuanxin’s management. If he still cares about things rather than focusing on Yuanxin’s business development, it can only be said that he is not worthy of sitting in that position. of.
“I’m just afraid that Guoqiao will have any objections.”
“…Guoqiao’s consciousness is not inferior to Carter’s, right?”
“Haha, that’s fine. It depends on how you arrange your next work, and then how your successor arranges it…it’s up to you.”
“Okay.” He Wei nodded neatly and took out her mobile phone.
After checking a new message, she frowned slightly.
Su Yuanshan looked at her with some curiosity: “What?”
“It’s nothing, I have a spokesperson… It seems that apart from some problems during training, the old injury has recurred.” After a pause, He Wei said regretfully: “Hurdle champion, you know that, right?”
Su Yuanshan was slightly startled: “Liu Xiang?”
“Yeah. Last year, after he won the field championship, we signed a contract for mobile phone endorsement… The advertising effect was also good. At that time, everyone felt that he was in the best condition this year and was very likely to win the Olympics…” He Wei added Glancing at the phone, there was regret in his eyes: “I don’t know if this injury will affect…if it does…it would be a pity.”
Su Yuanshan hummed slightly.
He knew that it would definitely be affected and he would definitely regret it.
Moreover…this regret is not Liu Xiang’s own, but…another kind of regret.
Su Yuanshan didn’t know how “healthy” the mentality of the general public in this world was in comparison – because from the perspective of economy, technology, and public opinion, today’s country is much better than in the history Su Yuanshan remembered… Even if Even if there are remarks about dissatisfaction with the state of the country, it will also satisfy people’s pride because there is a strong field for comparison.
For example, when it comes to chips, no one says that they are not made in China anymore. For example, when it comes to operating systems, no one says anything anymore – of course there are idiots who say that WinOS and YOS are based on Unix… but such people will be despised by everyone as soon as they show up. .
But the Olympics are different.
From the beginning of the bid to host the Olympic Games to now, we have experienced a long wait, coupled with the “brilliant” opening ceremony, making everyone full of desire for every gold medal.
What’s more… that’s a retirement from the competition.
Therefore, the overwhelming public opinion and curses were still fresh in Su Yuanshan’s memory – it seemed that everyone had forgotten that the man they scolded was the hero who broke the fate that yellow people could not beat black people.
After a long silence, Su Yuanshan took a deep breath.
“It’s no longer a pity for an athlete to have an old injury relapse when facing the most important battlefield in his life – I remember, didn’t his coach always say that he was in good condition?”
“I’m not sure about this…”
Su Yuanshan sighed slowly.
“Go and take a look at the specific situation. If it really doesn’t work, prepare a withdrawal plan.”
