Chapter 265 "The King of MP3" Applies for Job

The next day.

The investment agreement for the establishment of "Yicheng Real Estate Co., Ltd." was formally signed in the conference room on the 87th floor of the investment building.

Five shareholders, including Hu Yang, Chen Jialin, Wu Maosheng, Lu Yali, and Tang Ziyu, were all present.

The office space of "Yicheng Real Estate" does not rent office rooms in the investment building. Although the building has a high occupancy rate, it does not mean that there are no vacant office areas at all.

In Wu Maosheng's words, when the company was just established, it still had to be frugal because the rent for investment buildings was too expensive.

Neither Hu Yang nor Chen Jialin was right about this matter, so "Yicheng Real Estate" rented another relatively low-price office building.

The executive director and general manager of Yicheng Real Estate are Wu Maosheng, and Chen Jialin is the nominal chairman. The company's two vice presidents, one is Fei Zhijun, and the other is temporarily vacant.

Except for the financial director, all other positions are open to recruitment, and the financial director will be filled by personnel sent by Huijia Holdings.

"Mr. Chen, you won't be focusing on Yicheng real estate in the future, right?"

A vice president position was originally reserved for Chen Jialin, but he was temporarily vacant, so Hu Yang took the opportunity to ask him alone.

"My main focus will still be on Nishite Technology, but I will definitely not let go of Yicheng Real Estate completely. I will occasionally go around when I have time."

The company's structure has been initially completed, so Chen Jialin has nothing to worry about. With his name as chairman, he can definitely focus on the big and let go of the small.

As for Hu Yang, since the early days of Yicheng Real Estate, he rarely took the initiative to ask about the company's affairs. Fei Zhijun usually took the initiative to report to him.

Moreover, after the real estate company started operating, Wu Maosheng and Fei Zhijun moved out of Hu Yang's villa with a tacit understanding.

Populus euphratica's life has returned to peace.

Sometimes, he often wonders, what is the true meaning of investment? Putting aside those high-level economic terms, Hu Yang feels that the essence of investment is to invest your own money and let others contribute.

If you do a good job and you make money for me, I can reward you. If you do a bad job, I'm sorry, sir, I want to withdraw my capital.

Therefore, for so many projects that have been invested, Hu Yang rarely rushes to the front desk, and most of them become the hero behind the scenes in obscurity.

Like Mingkang Communications, PHS business gradually spread in major cities across the country. Advertisements endorsed by Liang Shuqi could be seen everywhere, and the names of Gao Mingkang and Lu Yali also began to appear in the public eye.

Especially Gao Mingkang, who used to look like a technical geek, but now he is constantly participating in this and that forum, or accepting interviews, etc., and he is very restless inside.

Under this situation, the mobile phones produced by Mincom Communications introduced Alcatel technology and were quietly launched, but without any disturbance.

"Mr. Hu, this mobile phone from Mingkang is very good in terms of function and appearance. However, compared with the popularity of the company's PHS products, it is simply weak."

What Lu Yali doesn't understand is why the sales of her own PHS are so good, but the sales of mobile phones are far behind.

"Sister Lu, there is nothing we can do about this. The current market only recognizes foreign brands, especially Nokia, Ericsson, etc. Domestic or joint venture brands are not widely accepted for the time being. This is normal, don't worry."

Hu Yang still has something to say. In the 2G era, China has not yet touched the threshold of technology. It is enough to follow others and check for advantages. It does not yet have the ability to launch an impact.

Fundamental changes will have to wait until the 3G era, when domestic td-scdma becomes the world's three mainstream communication technology standards, before the domestic mobile phone industry will usher in a major explosion.

Now Mingkang Communications has intervened in the field of mobile phones in advance. On the one hand, it is to lay the foundation, and on the other hand, it is to prepare for the company's future transformation.

Opportunities always favor those who are prepared.

Lu Yali agreed with Hu Yang's statement. Her own strength was not in technology. She was mainly responsible for product sales and advertising.

Now, the PHS product produced by Mingkang Communications ranks among the top three in the domestic market. According to the latest statistics, it will rank first this year.

On the one hand, this is due to Mingkang Communication's early entry into this field. On the other hand, the company is constantly optimizing technology while introducing technology.

Mingkang Communications' products have powerful functions. For example, in terms of signals, they are better than others. In some complex environments, other products cannot receive signals, but the company's products can maintain calls. This is a huge advantage.

However, Hu Yang also discovered a very interesting phenomenon. The former overlord of PHS in his memory, ut, never appeared in this time and space.

He was even thinking about whether UT back then was originally born out of Mingkang Communications? Was it just because of his intervention that it never came into being?

"Mr. Hu, the current situation of the company is good in all aspects. The only problem is that the R&D capability is relatively weak. Mr. Gao said that he wants to increase investment in R&D next year. What do you think?"

Lu Yali made an appointment with Hu Yang today, and one of the reasons is that the company is preparing to increase research funding. Gao Mingkang is different from Lu Yali. He comes from a technical background and has a natural sense of urgency for the application of new technologies and the upgrading of products.

"It is certainly a good thing to increase research funding, but it can be increased in line with the business development of the company. I have no objection to this matter, as long as it does not exceed the company's current ability to bear."

Populus euphratica supports enterprises in research and development, but there is a problem of degree. This "degree" means that on the one hand, the capital investment cannot exceed the enterprise's bearing capacity, and at the same time, it also means that the direction of R&D cannot exceed too much.

He believed that Gao Mingkang could understand what he meant, so he stopped there.

"Okay, I will bring your opinion to Mr. Gao."

Lu Yali immediately stood up and said goodbye. They were actually tied to Populus euphratica and formed a community of interests. Many times, they were accustomed to listening to Populus euphratica's opinions and views on the general direction.

Hu Yang looked at his watch. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and he planned to go to Charming Technology.

When he arrived at Charming Technology, before he entered the office, the administrative vice president came up to him with a smile on his face: "Mr. Hu, I was just about to call you. There was a Mr. Yan who said he wanted to see you.

I came to the company to apply for a job."

"Oh? Where is he? I'll go meet him."

Since the vice president said this, the person coming here must be applying for the position of general manager. Therefore, except Hu Yang, no one else has the right to negotiate with him.

"Mr. Yan, this is the chairman of the company, Mr. Hu Yanghu."

Walking into the reception room, a man in his thirties was closing his eyes and concentrating. The vice president quickly introduced Hu Yang's identity to him.

"Hello, Mr. Hu! I am Yan Hanzhang. This is my resume. Please take a look at it first."

Yan Hanzhang stood up, introduced himself with a smile, and then handed over his resume with both hands.

Hu Yang reached out and took it and said: "Mr. Yan, please sit down."

The two sat down facing each other. The vice president asked for two cups of coffee and then left.

Yan Hanzhang, PhD in electronics, once worked at the Singapore Institute of Microelectronics. He also worked in an electronics company for four or five years. This time he was planning to return to China to start a business, and the project he chose was also an MP3 player.

He inspected various places in Guangdong Province, especially after seeing the products of Charming Technology, only to realize that he seemed to have arrived too late.

The market capacity of this kind of segmented electronic products is not particularly large. Once a strong company carves up the market, the barriers to entry for latecomers, especially entrepreneurs, will be very high.

At this time, Yan Hanzhang saw the recruitment information of Charming Technology.

Charming Technology is recruiting a general manager. It requires more than five years of relevant work experience and a master's degree or above. The recruitment conditions are not too specific. They only say that the salary will be generous, the company's established goals will be achieved, and there will be special rewards, etc.

So, he was tempted. Although starting his own business sounded great, he didn't have much financial support. Being able to become the general manager of a potential company was also a good choice for him.

Of course, the premise is that both parties can attract each other after meeting. For high-end talents, recruitment is inherently a two-way choice issue.

After reading the resume part, Hu Yang had a very strange feeling.

If he didn't remember who Yan Hanzhang was before, but after reading his resume, he immediately thought of the "King of MP3" in his previous life.

There will be outstanding elites in any industry. When people talk about this industry or a certain product, they often unconsciously think of these names.

Yan Hanzhang's name was associated with "mp3" in his previous life.

But things are unpredictable. In this time and space, Populus euphratica has entered this field first, and the product has achieved great success as soon as it came out.

As a result, Yan Hanzhang, who originally planned to start a business, came to apply for a job at Charming Technology.

Hu Yang put down the resume in his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Yan, let's have a casual chat. You can talk about some ideas for the company's development, and you can also evaluate the company's existing products."

Yan Hanzhang was quite confident about these things. Before he prepared to start a business, he must have done a lot of market research and had many ideas in his mind. He just took advantage of this opportunity to express them all, and his hard work was not in vain.

Therefore, Yan Hanzhang made his own interpretation from the aspects of MP3 market prospects, consumer groups, product upgrading, technology roadmap, etc.

This long speech lasted for more than twenty minutes. When he finished speaking, Hu Yang smiled and clapped softly.

"Mr. Yan, you are right. It seems that you have your own ideas about many electronic products. To be honest, I am willing to let you try the position of general manager to see how far you can lead the company.

"

Hu Yang then set out the company's conditions, with an annual salary of 200,000 yuan, bonuses based on business performance, and 2%-3% option rewards for completing the agreed business goals within three years.
Chapter completed!
