Chapter 193 Financial Crisis
"Assistant Xia, I just have a meeting today. Go ahead and notify the middle-level and above employees and gather in the conference room in ten minutes. Go ahead."
Hu Yang rarely holds meetings. Unlike some companies that have morning meetings every day, he usually does not have them here. Basically, Xia Bing and Xu Younian each take care of their own business, and meetings are a small-scale matter for them.
Xia Bing responded and left the office.
Xu Younian organized his speech and said: "Recently, the project department came into contact with a deep-sea communications company. This company is headquartered in Silicon Valley, and was founded by a Chinese international student in 1995.
The one on the Deep Sea side is the domestic branch of this company called Mingkang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. They are now proposing to comprehensively promote the application of phs in the country and hope to seek investment and cooperate to develop the domestic market."
Hu Yang was a little confused after hearing this. He had no impression of this company at all, but the main project was the "Little Smart" which would be unlimited in the domestic market in the future. It was strange.
In his impression, the domestic PHS industry is highly concentrated, and the future market seems to be dominated by the three giants. ut\zx\hw, the products of these three companies basically account for more than 60% of the market share.
It's only 1997 now. A company that started targeting this industry so early should not remain unknown in the future.
You can let this go first. Hu Yang wants to know what the major differences Xu Younian said are about.
Xu Younian explained: "As long as the shortcomings of this technology are obvious, for example, it can only be used in cities, and there is no signal outside the city limits. There is also the fact that it cannot be used on high-speed transportation, such as vehicles traveling at speeds exceeding
At 40 kilometers per hour, the signal will become very unstable and calls will be intermittent.
As for the advantages, according to foreign experience, consumption is relatively low. PhS is also known as a mobile phone in foreign countries. It is a cellular phone for the poor and has obvious advantages in price. It is precisely because the advantages and disadvantages are very obvious that the controversy is so big.
"
Hu Yang nodded, but he could understand Xu Younian's current confusion.
In fact, phs has never been the mainstream of mobile communication technology in the market. As Xu Younian said, the shortcomings of this technology are too obvious.
The reason why it can develop in the country in the future is that low prices are only one aspect. Another important aspect is that at that time, mobile communication licenses were initially only issued to China Mobile.
The other two operators had no choice but to introduce phs, which can be regarded as a supplement to local calls.
The key to the problem now lies in the operators. If the two operators do not take the initiative to introduce it, it will be difficult to promote the application with just one communication company.
This work needs to be promoted by large communication equipment manufacturers, such as hw and zx. Small companies do not have the ability to take the lead for the time being.
Therefore, the company that Xu Younian wants to invest in is different from Hardstone Technology. Hardstone Technology focuses on the manufacturing field and is taking the path of OEM development, just like the products it currently produces for rb operators.
After thinking for a few minutes, Hu Yang said: "Don't be afraid of controversy. You can slowly learn more about this project. However, it is not suitable to invest blindly for the time being. It can be studied as a reserve project. Okay, we should also go to the conference room
Okay, let’s go to the meeting first.”
Xu Younian nodded. In any case, this matter has been settled for the time being, saving everyone the hassle of arguing all day long.
"I'm calling everyone to a meeting today. I have something to announce. The company has decided to remove Xia Bing from the position of assistant general manager and replace her with Pei Yunfang."
As soon as Hu Yang sat down, he announced a personnel appointment and dismissal decision.
Xia Bing raised her head suddenly, as if she didn't believe her ears. Removing his assistant to the general manager? There was no sign. I didn't hear him talk about it in Mr. Hu's office just now. Did he make some mistake?
No, even if I had said something more and asked a question before, it wouldn't have exempted myself, right?
Pei Yunfang, who succeeded Xia Bing, is only 26 years old this year. He is a college student. He was mainly responsible for human resources. He has good abilities, but he is not strong enough to kill Xia Bing instantly.
Everyone else in the conference room was a little confused, but in front of Hu Yang, no one dared to whisper to each other.
After a short pause, Hu Yang signaled Pei Yuanfang to stand up, and warm applause erupted in the conference room.
After more than a minute, Hu Yang waved his hand, and the conference room suddenly became quiet. "There are also new appointments and dismissal decisions... The company has decided to appoint Xia Bing as the deputy general manager of administration and Xu Younian as the vice president of operations.
General manager."
In fact, Xia Bing's role in the company is called assistant, but it is equivalent to the vice president of administration. She has always been on an equal footing with Xu Younian. Now Hu Yang has just adjusted the name. In fact, their authority and work content have not changed.
But in the future, the assistant general manager will not have much power. His main responsibility is to assist Hu Yang in his work, and usually only plays the role of an intermediary liaison person.
However, Pei Yunfang is still very happy. After all, she will represent Hu Yang in the company in the future. Although she does not have much power, everyone will give her face, right?
Xia Bing, a girl from the Northeast, who was in a state of ups and downs, couldn't help but secretly rolled her eyes at Populus euphratica. She was so breathless when talking, it scared the baby to death.
Immediately afterwards, Hu Yang announced that the meeting was adjourned. This was his usual style, he said something when he had something to say and then left.
As for the work handover between Xia Bing and Pei Yunfang, he naturally doesn't have to worry about it.
It's late June, and the weather in the south is getting hotter again.
Lu Qiulu and Liang Shuqi, who had been busy filming, finally had some free time. They invited Chen Jialin and Hu Yang to visit Hong Kong for a few days. When they return, they can witness a historical moment that will forever be recorded in history.
Before departure, Hu Yang also called Hu Zhiguang and asked his father if he wanted to come to Xiangjiang to experience the atmosphere in person.
At this time, Li Guixiang and Hu Zhiguang, who had been traveling for a long time, had arrived in the mountain city. The mountain city is great. Except for the hot weather in summer, the food and beautiful scenery are so attractive.
So, Li Guixiang and Hu Zhiguang asked Han Wu to rent an apartment for them and planned to stay here for a few more months.
According to the wishes of Hu Yang's father and mother, they wanted Han Wu and his life assistant to return to Yangcheng first. However, Hu Yang was worried, so he asked Han Wen and his life assistant to rent a single apartment each, and asked Han Wen to find time to take the two elders to Chengcheng again.
.
Hu Zhiguang was actually a little tempted when he received the call from his son. As a result, Li Guixiang didn't want to bother and said that watching TV would be the same thing, so Hu Zhiguang gave up the idea of going to Xiangjiang in person.
"Okay, then you should stay well in Shancheng and Rongcheng. If you really like it there, we will buy a house there later and you can live there occasionally."
After hanging up the phone, Hu Yang thought it would be good to buy a house in Shancheng or Chengcheng. It is a land of abundance, with outstanding people, especially the various delicacies that people will never forget.
Since his father refused to come to Xiangjiang, Hu Yang rushed to Shenhai, met Chen Jialin, and crossed the border together.
This time, Hu Yang only took Han Wen with him. At this time, it was more troublesome to travel to and from Xiangjiang, so it was better to have fewer people.
"Before and after the Handover Day, all the major hotels were fully booked, so I booked these two rooms early."
It's the same for ordinary hotels and high-end hotels, but the rooms are tight.
The two rooms at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, one ordinary standard room and one business suite, were booked in advance by Liang Shuqi.
"Qiqi, thanks to you this time."
The words of Populus euphratica were not polite. Chen Jialin was busy with the affairs of Hard Rock Technology and did not expect Populus euphratica to come to Xiangjiang on the day of return. As for Populus euphratica, he underestimated the passenger flow at this special moment and thought it would be there at any time just like before.
Guest room.
"Are you polite to me? Really..."
After not seeing Liang Shuqi for a long time, Hu Yang found that she had also changed a lot. At least she was more confident than before. Maybe her acting career has improved a bit now, right?
At noon, Hu Yang and Liang Shuqi had a buffet at the hotel, and then took a lunch break for more than an hour. In the afternoon, they went shopping on the street and bought a bunch of return souvenirs.
In the evening, Chen Jialin specially arranged a small cocktail party, which was mostly attended by young people.
Tomorrow will be ceremonies such as the change of defense, flag lowering, and flag raising, and then there will be various activities, including a large-scale fireworks display in Victoria Harbor.
For others, it is to witness a historical moment. For Populus euphratica, it is to relive history.
Even so, when Populus euphratica sees the red flag hoisted, he will still feel excited and in high spirits.
However, when this generation grows old, will the new generation still remember this moment? Will they understand the humiliation of a century and the perseverance to return now?
"My dear, your heart is beating very fast. Is it excitement? Or is it joy?"
Liang Shuqi was not very understanding of Hu Yang's mood. Listening to the other person's heartbeat, she felt some emotions she had never felt before.
Hu Yang smiled and reached out to touch her hair. "Go to sleep, it's already early in the morning."
"Well, you are tired today and drank a lot. When you wake up, it will be a beautiful day."
Liang Shuqi fell into a deep sleep with good wishes. She was simple and simply believed that tomorrow would be better.
July 2nd.
Thailand announced that it would abandon its fixed exchange rate system and implement a floating exchange rate system.
On that day, the exchange rate of the Thai baht against the U.S. dollar fell by 17%, and the foreign exchange and other financial markets were in chaos. Under the influence of the fluctuation of the Thai baht, the Philippine peso, Indonesian rupiah, and Malaysian ringgit successively became the targets of international speculators.
The financial crisis sweeping across Southeast Asia is coming in an instant.
However, for the time being in Xiangjiang, it has not aroused too many people's alarm. Thailand? It's a bit far away, so it's none of our business, right?
So, dance as you please, run as you please, do whatever you have to do.
