Chapter 1002 Industrial Exhibition
"We Huayang Heavy Industry also need to have this awareness and gradually transfer some products with low profit margins and labor-intensiveness to the central and western regions to prepare for the future."
"I understand" executives all come from the front line of business and know what Liu Yongzhuo said about the cost of the company. They have more or less experienced it, but because they are too busy at work and don't think too much.
Since Lin Liu Yongzhuo has said this, everyone understands it and is thinking about what businesses our company needs to be moved and which businesses need to continue to increase investment to develop.
Wang Huaming first said: "Mr. Liu and I have discussed it. After a while, we will arrange several inspection teams to select points in the central and western regions. We have initially planned to establish three to four production bases in the central region. Let's summarize the industries that need to be transferred."
In order to encourage enterprises to move to poorer inland provinces and cities, the country has introduced many policies, especially cheap land, which is very attractive to entrepreneurs.
"In order to be close to the raw material supply location, close to the product market and the source of labor, we have transferred to the current factory areas of each production base area, which is mainly used to produce various products."
"Yongzhuo, in this way, our production will be dispersed again and the management costs will be increased," said Xi Leiming of the machine tool company, worriedly. "We used to be divided into two production bases in Wuhan and Liuzhou, and it would be more troublesome to coordinate. Now if we transfer part of our business to the mainland, in the future, my general manager will only be a flying person in the air, flying around between several cities every day."
"Thunder, you are content. You are still flying in China at least. I am flying around the earth every day now." Xiong Shuguo said with a smile.
The business of chemical equipment companies is spread all over the world. Xiong Shuguo often has to inspect the situation of various construction sites and negotiate related matters with project owners, so there are many opportunities to go abroad, and he has to circle the earth seven or eight times a year.
Xi Leiming was not willing to admit defeat: "We also have a production base in Australia, but everyone takes care of me, so when I encounter such things that require going abroad, I have several vice presidents who go there separately, like Jiang Tao and others, who are almost always away."
"Who are you so miserable to me?" Xu Rongmin, general manager of the overseas sales department sitting in a corner, said with a bitter face, "You are all calculating how many days you are abroad in a year, but I am the other way around. I can only calculate how many days you are in a year."
"Does General Liu's headquarters consider when I can transfer me back to China to see if my child should go to high school? I am not by my side. The child is spoiled by my grandparents. No one cares about him in the future, he will become a semi-illiterate like me."
"Haha, Rongmin, I think you are a semi-illiterate person who is doing well. You can speak several foreign languages now?" Nong Liqunqun, who is the vice president of the refrigeration equipment company, joked.
They are all old people who started their own businesses with Liu Haoran. Although they have never been to college, they can now stand alone in various positions.
Xu Rongmin shook his head and said, "What's the use of just being able to speak foreign languages? Sometimes when negotiating with customers, people talk about some technical indicators, I can only half understand or not. Liu Zhi is much better than me in this regard. He graduated from a genuine university, and he understands anything he says casually. I told my wife. No matter what, he has to let his child get into a prestigious university and fulfill his dream of college for me."
"Rongmin said it very well," Liu Yongzhuo took Xu Rongmin's words and said, "There is a saying that you say it well. If you want to achieve great things, what is the most important thing? Talents we lack the most now are talents."
"Aren't you the saying?" Wang Huaming smiled, "But this sentence is correct, what we lack most at the moment is indeed talent. This is the second issue of our meeting today. Do you have any ideas about introducing talents in this regard?"
Compared with other domestic companies, Huayang Heavy Industry's talent team building is doing well.
As early as when most domestic companies did not pay much attention to talent collection, Liu Yongzhuo introduced a large group of outstanding industry scholars such as Wang Huaming, An Haoyu, Xiong Shuguo, as well as graduates from many domestic prestigious universities.
In the years that followed, Huayang Heavy Industry has also been unambiguous in introducing and cultivating talents. The proportion of Caspian returnees and highly educated talents in the company is definitely the best among domestic enterprises.
But even so, everyone still feels that there is not enough talent. Market development, product development, internal management are all places where talents need to be used.
Newly graduated college students still need to be tempered, and it is difficult to take on the main responsibilities for a while. The number of veteran talents is limited, and I wish I could fill several holes by myself.
Now, Liu Yongzhuo proposed to start a second business, and almost all branches must upgrade their industries.
In this way, traditional industries need to be separated separately and assigned to manage them, products need to be developed, and marketed. The pressure on this talent is unparalleled
"What else can I do? I can only continue to join people," said Fu Songyi, general manager of the refrigeration equipment company. "Our company entered more than 40 college students and graduate students last year, and eight of them returned from overseas returnees at the University of Cambridge, England. However, if they want to play a role, it will take at least three years to expand our business too quickly. Now all departments are short of people."
Xi Leiming also said: "It's not easy to get in now. There are more and more college students in China, and more and more returnees, but in terms of quality, it is far inferior to the group of people who were Vice President Wang when he was."
Wang Huaming waved his hand and smiled: "Thunder Ming gave us a prize at that time, mainly because the number of people was small, and only a few hundred people went abroad to study in a year, so it seems that the relative level was higher now, and there are tens of thousands of people studying abroad in a year, and the quality is normal. In terms of total number, I think there are still much more talents now than we were at that time."
After the founding of the Chinese Federation, not only did it not resist studying abroad, but instead strengthened academic exchanges with Western countries. Of course, this exchange is equal learning, rather than flattery and loss.
Since the Enlightenment, countless knowledge concepts and academic schools have been born in the West. In this regard, it is not that China under the shackles of the Qing Dynasty can learn from others' strengths, nor is it shameful. What is truly shameful is to forget who you are.
"The key is that there are many more units that need talents now than in the past," Xiong Shuguo said, "No one wants a high level. Everyone robs our group of people of talent introduction. It is considered good, but it cannot guarantee that all talents are willing to come to us."
"We were working on coal chemical products some time ago and wanted to find a few talents with experience in coal chemical research, but we couldn't find them any longer."
"Shuguo, this is your vision problem. In such a big world, you can't find a suitable talent?" Liu Yongzhuo said with a teasing smile.
Xiong Shuguo shook his head and said, "I really can't find it. Mr. Liu, you don't know. Our company's Human Resources Department must attend every talent job fair. The money spent on the job fair is millions a year."
"I can say that as long as there are talents that are too popular in China, we must have recorded them all. The key is that some talents are not something we can dig out as long as we want to dig out. They also have their own units. After all, they are all companies in the chemical equipment alliance. Too blatant to poaching other units is not conducive to future communication?"
"Why do you emphasize that you are over-the-top in China?" Liu Yongzhuo asked by catching Xiong Shuguo's words.
"Because..." Xiong Shuguo was stunned, "I can't go abroad to recruit people?"
Liu Yongzhuo asked back: "Why can't it?"
"foreign?"
Everyone here felt a lit up. They sensitively realized that Liu Yongzhuo's words were not aimless, and this should reflect a tendency of the group headquarters.
Yes, since there is a shortage of talents in China, why can’t we go abroad to look for it?
Liu Yongzhuo also further reminded everyone: "Everyone should know that in recent years, European and American countries are undergoing a gradual process of rebuilding industrialization, because the destruction of war, their domestic economic situation is not optimistic. If we can create an opportunity for them to further realize their self-worth in the industrial field, I think some of them will be interested."
The reason for saying this is that Liu Yongzhuo is not aimless
After World War II, the entire Western powers witnessed the rising Eastern Empire. The unparalleled technological power gave a great impact to the proud whites.
Many of them have begun to regard China as a holy place for industrial civilization. Whether for good treatment or to see the crystallization of powerful civilization, some foreign scholars have begun to look forward to being able to come to China for employment.
Among them, the Germans have already started to act, but only Britain, France, the United States and other countries are still making trouble, which is nothing more than a matter of face.
"Yongzhuo, don't you want them to come to China to work?" Some shareholders asked in surprise.
"Why can't it?" Liu Yongzhuo still used a tone of rhetoric.
"This... can they come?" said hesitantly
"I think they can come," said Xi Leiming. "Our machine tool company has many German experts and technicians. They are all staying well in China and they all say they don't want to go back."
Fu Songyi also said: "Lei Ming makes sense. Like the Ukrainian expert who works with me, he has brought his whole family to China. They bought a house on the beach and went to the beach to bask in the sun every day. They lived a very comfortable life."
An Haoyu also smiled: "30 years Hedong, 30 years Hexi, China's living environment is better than Western countries. Our Guiliu is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with good air and good scenery. In recent years, the city has done a good job in infrastructure construction. The city has become much more beautiful than many American cities. I think it should be fine for Western experts to come here to work."
It's true that, Britain, France, Germany and other countries are still in ruins. Because of the war, the United States, which has not been attacked in the local area, is better, but it's not much better. Compared with China, it's also widened its distance.
"I remembered this after you said this," Fu Songyi said again. "Last time General Motors came to General Motors to study the technology of large central air conditioners with us. Before leaving, they also said that they had a very good impression of Guilin. Two people even said they wanted to stay and work."
"Why didn't you keep them?" Liu Yongzhuo said with a smile.
Fu Songyi patted his head and said, "Ignore it, Ignore the other two American experts who have been working on refrigeration equipment for many years. I didn't say anything about it technically, why didn't I think about keeping them?"
"It's too late to remember now," Wang Huaming smiled. "After you go back, you can send them an email and ask them if they still have the intention to work in China."
"Okay" Fu Songyi nodded desperately and said
Wang Huaming turned his head and said to everyone: "Next March is the annual Wuhan Industrial Equipment Exhibition. We will send a delegation to participate in the exhibition like in previous years. However, Mr. Liu proposed that in addition to selling products this year, we will also recruit talents to prepare and make a list of talent needs. Let's go to Wuhan to poach people."
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is Wuhan, located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in March 1952
Liu Yongzhuo, Yuan Runping from the Machinery Commission, Feng Jiahua from Changsha Heavy Machinery and others stood outside the gate of Wuhan International Exhibition Center. Looking at the colorful billboards in the square, my heart was filled with emotion.
Liu Yongzhuo pointed to the square and said to several fellow travelers: "The first time I came here to participate in the exhibition was in 1945. My father was leading the team at that time. I was still studying at that time. Now when I think about it, time flies so fast that China is no longer the same as before in the blink of an eye."
Uncontrollably, Liu Yongzhuo recalled the past days, the kind of anxiousness about the outcome of the war.
"It's been ten years since 1945. Looking at this glance, the changes in China are quite big." Feng Jiahua said with a smile.
Indeed, from this location, we can now see more than a dozen commercials in the development of enterprises. The most eye-catching one is Huayang Heavy Industry Group's own big advertising board.
Compared to the past, it is much more lively now
The picture used to show the corporate image of Huayang Heavy Industry is a blue sky. A welder stood on a tall steel frame, holding an electric welding mask in his hand, and his smile showed confidence and humility.
Changsha Heavy Machinery also rented an advertising space in the square. However, since Feng Jiahua is a government official and has different business philosophy, he is reluctant to spend money on advertising. The billboard is relatively remote and the area is relatively small, so it can only be considered better than nothing.
After all, Feng Jiahua is a person from the system. He is not as generous as Liu Yongzhuo, who is from a capitalist family, when it comes to spending money.
Liu Yongzhuo said: "You see so many companies' advertisements now. This is the first time my father participated in the exhibition, and he couldn't bear to advertise. He wrote a sign with a pen and hung it outside the booth, which was the biggest advertisement."
"I heard from Director He," Yuan Runping smiled, "It seems that 10 million Huayuan can build a county-level industrial system, is that true?"
Liu Yongzhuo also laughed: "My father wrote this advertisement at that time, Zhan Fangke was not very satisfied with it, saying that my father was bragging and dishonest."
This kind of exhibition is usually hosted by the government, and the government's requirements for this aspect were quite strict at that time.
"This is a change in concepts," said Feng Jiahua. "We didn't know about the market economy back then. We didn't understand any public relations publicity or hype. We didn't know much about it now. Those who are black dare to sing to white. I think this is not appropriate. Should the government regulate it too?"
"Uh...Mr. Feng, this is too far-fetched? We don't have to deal with the advertising matters, so we will still be dedicated to selling products. We should go to the booth." Yuan Runping laughed and made a "please" gesture, and walked to the exhibition hall with Liu Yongzhuo, Feng Jiahua and others.
Since the Machinery Commission organized a group to participate in the Wuhan Equipment Exhibition in 1945 and won a great market response, many small and medium-sized enterprises' enthusiasm for participating in similar exhibitions has gradually increased.
In the years since then, the Machinery Commission has organized domestic equipment companies to come to Wuhan to participate in the exhibition every year, and the number of participating companies has increased year by year.
At the beginning, all small and medium-sized enterprises shared an exhibition area. Later, as the scale of exhibitors continued to expand, the products participated in the exhibition continued to increase. Some large enterprises began to rent booths and separate them from the regional large exhibition area.
Later, more and more separate enterprises were gradually formed, and the exhibition organizer simply built an exhibition hall.
As soon as Liu Yongzhuo returned to the exhibition area of Huayang Heavy Industry, Wu Fei, the director of the exhibition group, came up with a few people, and Liu Yongzhuo looked closely and smiled. He stretched out his hands to the person walking in front, shouting in English: "Peng Baisong, my old friend, we are meeting again."
The visitor was Peng Baisong, Minister of Industry of Laos Republic. His first meeting with Liu Yongzhuo was also at the Wuhan exhibition. He was the first client of the Xinghua Community Exhibition that year.
After that, the two families continued to interact, and Liu Yongzhuo also met this old friend from strangers to familiarity.
In the next decade, Peng Baisong and the Liu family had business dealings. Liu Haoran also privately sponsored Peng Baisong's boss. Nale, who was then the governor of the Northern Province of Laos, ran for the president of Laos.
Now that Nale has become president as he wishes and has been re-elected, Peng Baisong has become the Minister of Industry of the Northern Province and has transformed from the Minister of Industry of the entire Laos Republic to the Minister of Industry of the entire Laos Republic
Peng Baisong walked forward with a smile, hugged Liu Yongzhuo, and said, "Mr. Liu, I am so happy to see you. President Nale specially commissioned me to say hello to you on his behalf. Welcome to have the opportunity to visit us Laos again." To be continued)
