Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 249: The top management comes out and holds back the ultimate move

The Spring Festival of 2004 is coming soon.

Personnel above the director level of Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. all came to a hot spring resort hotel in Conghua.

Of course, recuperation is a secondary purpose. The main thing is that Cao Yang is ready to explain the company's next reform to everyone.

Some things cannot be concluded if they are too democratic.

So Cao Yang is ready to announce the results directly.

But there are some things that you can also listen to everyone’s opinions on.

"The company's turnover successfully exceeded 2003 billion in 300, and our products range from early nut plates, molds, bearings, and presses to current gearboxes, engines, robots, and various auto parts."

"We are now the largest auto parts company in China, but compared with parts giants such as Bosch and Denso, the gap is still quite large."

"In this process of rapid development, many problems in Nanshan are actually covered up."

"Many people outside are praising Nanshan and think Nanshan is very successful."

"But we can't let ourselves drift. We must face up to our own problems."

In the hotel conference room, Cao Yang held a meeting with everyone first.

Before officially announcing the organizational structure adjustment and other aspects, it is necessary to introduce the background.

"For example, the workers at our production site actually have a lot of room for improvement in the execution of various processes."

“Sometimes, there is a work process, but no one implements it.”

“There’s either a problem with the process or there’s a problem with the people executing it.”

"But because we have to rush production and performance, as long as nothing happens, these issues will not receive sufficient attention."

“Another example is our product planning, many of which are still focused on the present. No one thinks about what it should look like five years from now, ten years from now, or even 20 years from now.”

"I have always said that Nanshan should be a company that relies on technology to get orders, but those technologies need to be focused on research, and those technologies can be cooperated with outsiders. These technologies also lack clear enough planning."

"The most important thing is that as the company grows in size, there are some situations where we are too busy to death and too idle to die."

"We are still in the entrepreneurial stage, and the company does not support idle people!"

After all, Nanshan is a private enterprise, and making money is the main thing.

Of course, the money earned is also used for investment and development.

But it is obviously inappropriate to raise a bunch of idle people.

"In recent years, Nanshan's overall profit margin has been good, but our expenditure on research and development is also a very huge amount."

"While ensuring current business profit margins, the company also has ideas to try some other businesses."

"Of course, auto parts and equipment are still the company's core business."

"As for the topic that many people have asked my company whether to simply build cars, my answer is that there is no such consideration in the next three years."

The people who came this time were all high-level officials of the company. Taking this opportunity, Cao Yang naturally wanted to talk to everyone about his thoughts and opinions.

"As the company has developed to this point, overall, it is still in a state of eating from one big pot, which is definitely not acceptable."

"Those who are able work hard, and the general direction in the future will definitely be like this."

"Starting this year, the company will separate each business unit and establish a separate company."

"Nanshan Research Institute, Nanshan Auto Parts Co., Ltd., Nanshan Special Steel Co., Ltd., Nanshan Equipment Co., Ltd., Nanshan Transmission Co., Ltd., Nanshan Engine Co., Ltd., Nanshan Mold Co., Ltd., and Nanshan Robot Co., Ltd., these eight subsidiaries will The overall management and coordination is carried out through Nanshan Holdings Co., Ltd.”

"In addition, a special Nanshan Investment Co., Ltd. will be established to conduct investment business."

When Cao Yang said this, everyone's attention was immediately raised.

When a company undergoes such a major reform, everyone will pay attention to whether their position has changed.

"In the future, the group company will be in charge of procurement and sales, and the research and development work will be managed by Nanshan Research Institute."

"Each subsidiary company is responsible for the specific production of products and improvement of processes."

"I myself will continue to serve as the general manager of the group holding company and the president of Nanshan Research Institute, and temporarily serve as the general manager of Nanshan Automobile Parts Co., Ltd."

"Zhang Fugui serves as the general manager of Nanshan Investment!"

"Xie Lingyun will serve as the general manager of Nanshan Special Steel, Pan Jinxing will serve as the general manager of Nanshan Equipment, Ji Hua will serve as the general manager of Nanshan Transmission, Cheng Tao will serve as the general manager of Nanshan Engine, and He Qingquan will serve as the general manager of Nanshan Mold..."

Cao Yang knew what everyone was concerned about, so he directly told his arrangement without hesitation.

Otherwise, no one will think so much about it next.

That's how good private companies are.

The boss can decide a lot of things with just one sentence.

Of course, sometimes advantages are also disadvantages.

If the boss takes the wrong direction, he will die without a chance to die.

"Except for Nanshan Investment, which has a special mission, everything else revolves around auto parts and equipment. Our core business is still these two."

"I'm not proud to say that we have indeed made certain achievements in recent years, but there is still a lot of room for effort."

"Next..."

Cao Yang rarely talked alone for a long time.

In his previous life, he hated it when his boss would talk for a long time when he spoke, and then several bosses would talk there one after another.

But this time it was different.

He talked there alone for two hours, directly stating his plans and ideas for each company.

At this time, what he needs more is for everyone to implement his ideas.

The discussion is just filling in the gaps.

"In 2004, our goal is to achieve sales exceeding 500 billion!"

In such an important meeting, this year's sales target must be mentioned.

Last year's turnover exceeded 300 billion, reaching 312 billion, and this year's goal is naturally higher.

Thanks to the start of large-scale mass production of engines, sales this year are even more worth looking forward to.

"The four major businesses of engines, gearboxes, special steel, and auto parts are the key to supporting revenue growth."

"Based on this year's market development, I predict that national car sales will exceed 500 million units, of which the share of independent brands will reach about [-]%."

“我希望今年的发动机销售台数能够达到100万台，销售额超过100个亿；变速箱销量能够达到200万台，销售额超过140个亿；特殊钢工厂的30万吨产能可以全部利用起来，带来100亿以上的产值。”

"Auto parts will also be the focus this year. In addition to continuing to cooperate with independent brands, we will also start a new round of assault with joint ventures and foreign auto giants."

"Although it will take another year or even the year after next for new orders to be mass-produced, we must prepare in advance."

The group finance department will definitely formulate specific assessment tasks and indicators for each subsidiary company.

But the general direction must be decided by the boss Cao Yang.

Only by giving clear goals to the people below can everyone know where to put their efforts.

"Of course, our changes can be implemented immediately internally, but externally, there can be a transition period of three to six months."

"After all, it takes a certain amount of time to go through the change procedures with each customer."

"I hope……"

Cao Yang spoke alone for two hours, and the first meeting of this recuperation was successfully concluded.

The rest of the time is mainly for everyone to eat, drink and have fun.

Of course, frankly speaking, it is impossible to expect everyone to be in a good mood to relax after such an important thing happened.

Basically, when soaking in hot springs, people usually find a pool in groups of two or three and discuss the changes this time while soaking in the hot springs.

"Lao Pan, from now on, your gearbox company will be the top four in the company."

“Whether it’s turnover or profit, it’s among the best.”

"That is to say, engine companies and special steel companies can be on par with you, but it is impossible for auto parts companies to match your profitability."

Ji Hua and Pan Jinxing are old classmates, and they must be relatively close among a group of senior executives.

In fact, although there are no particularly obvious factions within Nanshan, there are rivers and lakes wherever there are people.

To say that there is no strife among managements at all, Cao Yang doesn't believe it at all.

"The gearbox company is indeed relatively large, but when it comes to its importance to the company, the equipment company is actually more important."

"Whether it is various presses, machine tools, or other production line equipment, the equipment company is responsible."

"Just because of the special attributes of the equipment, it is impossible for it to sell hundreds of thousands or millions of units like parts like engines and gearboxes."

"So it is definitely inappropriate to simply compare the importance with turnover."

Ji Hua is not really humble, but he does think the equipment business is very important.

Cao Yang has always emphasized that the auto parts and equipment business are the company's two core businesses.

Be it engines, gearboxes, or auto parts, these are essentially the business scope of auto parts.

As for the equipment, there is only one such company, Nanshan Equipment Technology Co., Ltd., and at most the robot company can have some contact with it.

"Equipment is important, but the speed of making money is not good enough."

"For example, our machine tools were obviously developed last year, and our own mold centers have also begun to use them on a large scale."

"But apart from the press business, other CNC machine tools, grinders, milling machines, etc. are only used by ourselves."

"If you want to increase sales and get other manufacturers to buy, it's much more difficult than promoting parts."

Pan Jinxing has a very clear understanding of the difficulties he faces.

In 2004, the most important task of equipment companies was to promote the machine tools they developed and sell them.

Otherwise, Nanshan alone would not be able to support such a large scale.

"In the machine tool industry, the advantages of international giants are too great. It is really difficult for us to surpass them."

“It’s even many times more difficult than the auto parts industry.”

"However, I think we can also have a good communication with Minister Zeng and ask her to start promoting it from key cooperative customers such as Great Wall Motors, Geely Automobile, and BYD Automobile, as well as their suppliers."

"The technical parameters of our machine tools are no worse than those of international giants, and the price is actually a bit cheaper."

"As long as everyone recognizes this reality, people will naturally come to us to order."

Sales of gearboxes have basically opened up.

Most of the manufacturers that can use Nanshan have already used it.

For other OEMs such as Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Hyundai and Kia, your efforts are of no use.

So Ji Hua's pressure is really not that great.

"We can only do this first, otherwise we won't be able to open up the situation, which will be embarrassing."

Pan Jinxing and Ji Hua were chatting there casually, and the others were naturally not idle either.

"Ayang, does Nanshan Investment Co., Ltd. have any main business?"

Although Cao Yang had generally told Zhang Fugui before that he would slowly hand over the Autohome business to Yu Yu and shift his focus to investment.

But Cao Yang had not yet had time to explain to Zhang Fugui in detail what he wanted to invest in.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Fugui naturally wanted to find out.

Otherwise, he would be totally confused.

"The focus in the next few years will be on the Internet and financial fields. You first recruit a group of talents in this area to the company."

“Especially if we can poach some people from popular companies such as Sequoia, we can also do venture capital business next.”

"I will also give you some lists at that time. When it comes to the companies on the list, you don't need to consult and report to me in particular. You can go all out to promote venture round, A round, and B round investment."

"As for finance, I will focus on accumulating talents and experience for the time being. I will make special arrangements later."

In a few years, we will encounter a huge financial crisis.

It would be a pity if Cao Yang missed such a good opportunity to pick up money.

Wouldn't it be nice to collect billions of dollars from Wall Street and other places to subsidize the development of the industry?

As for the Internet, it goes without saying.

Now is definitely the golden age.

There are all Internet companies whose names will be remembered by future generations. No matter what the conditions are for investing in them, you definitely don’t have to worry about losing money.

It’s nothing more than a matter of earning more and earning less.

"I don't have much experience in this area."

Zhang Fugui really felt guilty.

He has a certain understanding of his abilities.

Among Nanshan's top brass, he is definitely not a powerful one.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have experience, just find some experienced people to help."

"For me, Nanshan Investment needs trustworthy people to look after it. I have already planned the big development direction. I just need to carry it out."

When Cao Yang said this, Zhang Fugui breathed a sigh of relief.

If you just let yourself implement each project, the pressure will not be so great.
