The head office in England is already profitable. After more than two years of hard work, the company has regained its vitality. During the gradual adjustment, about half of the previous employees have been fired. At the same time, a lot of fresh blood has been absorbed. The current number of employees is more than

At the time of acquisition.

Thanks to the emerging market in Asia, all the cars in the company's previous inventory were wiped out, and then research and production of new models began.

Evia.

Lu Bu is very capable, and he was a talented designer before that. Therefore, the prototype of the new model received widespread attention as soon as it was released, and the Cheetah Company was gradually revitalized in his hands.

At the automobile base in Xiangjiang, all the equipment has just been installed, and it may take another half a year to see the produced cars.

In the past two years, DreamWorks has invested more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars in it, which is huge among investment projects in Hong Kong. In the past two years, a piece of rugged land on Lantau Island has been bulldozed. A modern

Automobile factories are rising here.

DreamWorks has communicated with the Hong Kong government. Currently, this automobile base covers an area of ​​5,000 acres. Such a large area can directly meet the needs of automobile factories and employee housing. There are also some activity centers. In short, all the needs of employees can be met here.

.

In the past two years, in addition to site construction, many newly recruited employees have also been sent to the British head office for internships. This talent investment has cost 100 million US dollars.

There is a shortage of talents in Hong Kong, and there are no relevant schools to train talents. Currently, DreamWorks is cooperating with relevant schools in the mainland and becoming strategic partners with them. These schools include: Huaqing University, Shuimu University, Jiangzhe University, etc.

, all of which are among the top twenty prestigious universities in the mainland.

Of course, it is also in Hong Kong and in cooperation with Xiangjiang University.

The educational subsidies provided each year are about 50 million US dollars. In this case, there is a steady stream of energy to provide DreamWorks with sufficient talents.

But these are all things that are far away and cannot put out a nearby fire. It will take at least a few years to get a return in this regard. Therefore, DreamWorks can only poach people from all over the world. Fortunately, in the past seven or eight years, many people in our country have studied abroad.

A large number of people are unwilling to go back to the mainland or abroad. Xiangjiang's invitation gives them a good choice.

In the past two years, DreamWorks not only recruited people from all over the world, but also hired people through headhunting companies. Whether they were white or Chinese, they wanted everyone who was willing to work in Hong Kong.

Under such circumstances, Cheetah's automobile base in Xiangjiang already has more than 3,000 highly qualified personnel, for which the fee paid to the headhunting company alone is tens of millions of dollars.

DreamWorks pays a lot of treatment to these people. Their housing problem alone is a major problem. For this reason, they are given a house in Tianshui community. As long as they work at DreamWorks for five years, the house will belong to them.

theirs.

The annual salary provided is also quite generous. It can be said that the money spent on talents is not a small amount.

There is a popular saying in the original time and space, "The most important thing in the 21st century is talent." In fact, it is the same at all times. Talent is the source of power to create wealth.

If Zhao Hong wants to make Cheetah bigger and stronger in Xiangjiang, he must vigorously introduce and cultivate talents. For the company, there can never be too many talents.

He plans to let the researchers here in Xiangjiang learn the advanced technology of the British automobile factory first, and then slowly surpass it, and then slowly expand the scale of the factory here, and finally shift the focus of Cheetah Company to Asia, and finally in the British car factory

company has become irrelevant.

It can be said that we need to slowly absorb the blood, learn all the advanced technologies, and then innovate again.

If the time is right, we can also develop inland.

It can be said that DreamWorks Automobile Company has been a gold-swallowing monster in the past two years. It only sees investment but not output. Many outside media reported on this matter and said it was the most failed investment of DreamWorks.

The main reason is that it is not easy to develop automobiles in a small place like Xiangjiang. Before DreamWorks established an automobile company, there was no automobile company established here.

The output of a car represents a country's basic performance in the field of heavy industry, and Xiangjiang is a desert of heavy industry, and even schools focus on economics and finance.

It can be said that the talent is really pure. No other company can invest as much as DreamWorks and do not care about short-term gains and losses.

Thinking about the cost of bringing in talents will give many people a headache. Just the housing provided by DreamWorks alone is one million Hong Kong dollars per house, and three thousand houses is three billion Hong Kong dollars. No ordinary company can afford this kind of investment.

Add in other miscellaneous things, and the money is no longer money.

Even my elder sister was very distressed when she saw this financial report. She used to always clamor to expand into other industries and establish more new companies, but she rarely says such things now.

Although basically every company in DreamWorks is making money at present, there are many places to spend money, and they all involve large sums of money.

The construction work in Tin Shui Wai has not been interrupted, and the subway from the main island to Tin Shui Wai is also under construction. There is also a large investment in automobiles, and the shipping company is also upgrading and so on.

If the game company hadn't been as powerful as ever, other subsidiaries would have gradually matured, bringing huge benefits to DreamWorks.

Then it is very likely that many projects will slow down their development.

Of course, things are a lot easier now. The main reason is that the return on investment of DreamWorks in Japan has been slowly harvested, which has given DreamWorks a lot of blood.

In fact, I still want to get involved in the mobile phone industry, but after collecting information, I discovered that the patented technology of mobile phones has been firmly controlled by many companies.

To enter this industry, you have to keep throwing money at it like a car company. Thinking about this kind of thing gives me a headache, but in the end I thought about it and let it go.

In fact, Zhao Hong also struggled with whether to enter the mobile phone industry. As long as this industry develops well, it is okay to be the second best Steve Jobs.

But how to say it?

There are still very real problems facing us, including lack of talent, patent barriers, and policy suppression.

The lack of talent is easy to solve. The worst case scenario is to use money as a big stick to poach people, but patent barriers are difficult to overcome. It is impossible to acquire companies with technology. The main reason is that they will be blocked by developed public companies. When it comes to

Patent licensing is like dancing with shackles, and it is really difficult to develop.

It can be said that the conditions for developing mobile phone companies in Hong Kong are not as good as those in the mainland.

Zhao Hong doesn't want to do this kind of brain-consuming thing anymore. At most, she will invest in related mobile phone companies in the mainland in the future. Some famous foreign mobile phone companies will also participate in the investment.

At present, the shares held by Apple DreamWorks are about 5%. At present, the company's main business is computers, and the company's development is not very good.

In fact, in 1983, DreamWorks Investment Company began to hold 5% of Apple's shares, but in 1985, it began to slowly reduce its holdings, and finally only maintained 2%, but

Last year, it started to increase its stake again, and DreamWorks Investment Company made more than 300 million U.S. dollars from this back and forth.

The main reason for this is that Apple's founder Steve Jobs was kicked out of his company in 1985, and the company's development has slowed down since then. DreamWorks Investment Company reduced its shares in Apple when its market value was at its highest, and then absorbed its shares at its trough.

, you can make a lot of money out of it as soon as you go back and forth.

Apple without Steve Jobs is a company without a soul. After the current Joe left Apple, he spent $10 million to acquire Lucasfilm's computer animation effects studio in Emeryville, California, from George Lucas in 1986, and

Established independent company Pixar Animation Studios.

The current development is impressive and we are determined to create greater brilliance.

It wasn't until 1996 that Apple was really in trouble, and then it invited him back to serve as president.

It can be said that in the next few years, Apple's stock will be a relatively mediocre stock in the eyes of investors. It will be very easy for DreamWorks to acquire certain stocks.
