Chapter 105: Overwhelmed with Orders
Yang Hai was silent. What Xi Xingyue said was not without reason. He was not just a woman, and she was not his legal wife. So it seemed normal for her to have worries. It was human nature.
But even though I understand it, I always feel a little uncomfortable when my woman talks to me about compensation and money.
It's not that he was reluctant to spend the money. As for his woman, no matter whether she was his legitimate wife or not, Yang Hai felt that he would never treat her unfairly. Even if Xi Xingyue didn't ask for anything, if Yang Hai sold the 1500 million shares of Penguin Company, part of the profits would be shared with Xi Xingyue.
Moreover, he had no intention of selling the 1500 million shares immediately. What he originally wanted to sell was a part of the Penguin shares he had bought at the end of 2008.
If these 1500 million shares are kept, their value in the future will be at least thirty to forty times higher than it is now. In other words, if you sell them now, you can make 2 million, and maybe billion in the future.
If Xi Xingyue and I share 20%, that would be over 1 billion.
However, we cannot blame Xi Xingyue for being short-sighted. Even Mr. Ma, the founder of Penguin, cannot see so far ahead, otherwise he would not have kept selling his shares after the listing.
Especially in the second year after its listing, it sold 2 million shares, and the share price was just over 1500 yuan.
If he could have kept these 1500 million shares, the more than 8000 million would have appreciated in value to tens of billions.
I believe that if Mr. Ma of Penguin Group knew the result would be like this, he would definitely regret it and should not have sold his shares so early.
Even Mr. Ma, the founder of Penguin Company, was like this, let alone Xi Xingyue. She was able to decisively buy it and saw the future upward trend of Penguin Company's stock price. She was also able to see at this time that the stock price of Penguin Company would have a downward trend and decisively suggested selling it immediately. This is already very remarkable.
Not everyone is like Yang Hai, who has been reborn once and with his memories, and has lived a second life. Therefore, we cannot expect everyone to be like Yang Hai, who is ignorant of future development trends and can prepare in advance.
There will be many opportunities to make money in the future, and Yang Hai doesn't mind sharing them with his woman. Yang Hai thinks Xi Xingyue is still a little too eager.
On the other hand, Yang Hai also asked Li Ying to do a lot of things for him and invested in many projects, and many of the investments were made in his personal capacity. These were not included in the branch's profits, so Li Ying did not receive any dividends from this part.
But Li Ying never cared about these things and never complained to Yang Hai. At most, she offered some suggestions, thinking that the project was not suitable for investment, or that the investment in this project was too large and the risk was too great. She hoped to dissuade Yang Hai and hope that he would consider it carefully.
But once Yang Hai has made up his mind and made the final decision, Li Ying will still complete the task without fail and do his best to maximize the benefits of this investment project. At the same time, he will try his best to avoid the risks that he will have to bear after the investment fails.
However, after the investment in this project was successful, no matter how much profit was made, Li Ying never asked Yang Hai for this part of the dividend.
Although Li Ying did not take the initiative to ask for it, would Yang Hai really not give it to her? Obviously, this was impossible. No matter what Yang Hai did, he would never treat his woman badly.
Even if Li Ying was not his woman before, Yang Hai would never treat badly someone who worked for him.
However, Yang Hai was just a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he still readily agreed to Xi Xingyue that he would give him the 20% dividend he deserved.
But it's very strange. Since Shen Ruobing, Li Ying and Lu Manman became pregnant at the same time, there has been no news of Xi Xingyue and He Wenjing becoming pregnant, and no one knows the reason.
Over the past year, Yang Hai has taken great care of Xi Xingyue and He Wenjing. He has worked hard and shed a lot of sweat, and has fertilized them a lot, but they have not yet become pregnant.
This makes Yang Hai doubt whether he will only have these three children in his life?
But he already has a son and two daughters. Even if he doesn't have any more in the future, it seems to be enough. Yang Hai feels quite satisfied.
If there is one in the future, Yang Hai will be very happy. If there is no one in the future, Yang Hai will not feel any regrets.
But Yang Hai was also worried that if he and Xi Xingyue did not have their own children, his relationship with Xi Xingyue would eventually come to an end.
This is beyond doubt. Which woman doesn't want to be a mother? Doesn't want to have a child of her own?
You may not think about it too much when you are young, but as you get older, you will want to have a child of your own more and more.
He Wenjing is easier to deal with. After all, she already has her own child. It would be even better if she could have another child with Yang Hai.
If not, it doesn't matter much.
She also has shares in the company left to her by her husband after his death, so she doesn't have to worry about having no money.
The reason why she was with Yang Hai was not because she wanted anything from him, but because she needed someone to place their feelings on.
If I marry another man casually, and if I marry the wrong man, not only will I be unhappy, but my daughter Lulu will also be implicated, and even the company shares left to her by her husband may be in danger.
But Yang Hai is different. Firstly, she thinks Yang Hai is a good person in all aspects and she likes him very much in her heart. The most important thing is that her daughter also likes Yang Hai very much.
Another reason is that Yang Hai is very capable, so it is impossible for her to plot against her husband and leave the company shares for them and their daughter.
He Wenjing once thought about marrying Yang Hai and starting a new family, which would be more beneficial to her daughter's growth.
But unfortunately, Yang Hai has already married Shen Ruobing, and it seems difficult for them to divorce.
Now that Shen Ruobing has even given birth to Yang Hai's child, it's even less likely that they'll get divorced.
Gradually, He Wenjing gave up that idea. Fortunately, Yang Hai treated her the same as always, so He Wenjing didn't want to break up her relationship with Yang Hai.
Anyway, she didn't like any other man except Yang Hai, so she didn't want to get married again.
In this case, continuing to maintain a relationship with Yang Hai would be the best outcome.
Time flies and it is New Year's Day and 2010 has arrived. A lot of things happened in 2009, but the gains were also huge.
The Huaguang 1S mobile phone launched by Huaguang Technology Company has crushed other brands with its advanced design, fast charging, dual cameras, extra-large screen, ultra-high pixels, excellent sound quality, full screen, no keyboard, extra-long standby and other advantages.
The price of Samsung smartphones that were launched at the same time as the Huaguang 1S mobile phone has dropped from 4999 yuan to more than 2600 yuan, but the price of the Huaguang 1S mobile phone has remained unchanged.
Not only that, the price of the Huaguang 1 mobile phone remains unchanged, still 3999 yuan for a new phone.
Even in the second-hand market, the price of a Huaguang 1 mobile phone is around 3000 yuan, and the Huaguang 1S mobile phone is basically difficult to find in the second-hand market.
Even if you can find it, the second-hand price will not be too low. Yang Hai knows very well that although Samsung mobile phones have retreated, Apple mobile phones will be the biggest competitor of Huaguang mobile phones in the future.
Next year, Apple will launch the iPhone 4 smartphone, with three versions to choose from. The lowest-end 16GB version is priced at 4999 yuan, and the 32GB version is priced at 5999 yuan. No contract is required, which means it is fully network-compatible.
Next year, almost at the same time as the release of the iPhone 4, the Huaguang 2 smartphone will also be launched on the market. This means that the Huaguang smartphone will compete head-on with the Apple smartphone next year.
Everyone is targeting the high-end mobile phone market, and the prices are similar. In addition, Apple's operating system is definitely not bad. Apart from its advanced advantage in design, Huaguang smartphones do not have much advantage in other aspects.
Therefore, next year's battle will be the most difficult one. If Huaguang Mobile fails in the head-to-head competition with Apple Mobile Phone next year, the consequences will be very serious.
But this will happen half a year later, so it’s a bit too early to worry about it now.
After more than a year of development, the growth of Huaxing Furniture Company surprised Yang Hai.
Not only does mahogany furniture sell well, but imported red oak solid wood furniture also sells very well.
And we not only produce American style solid wood furniture, European style solid wood furniture, and French style solid wood furniture, but also modern Chinese style solid wood furniture.
American solid wood furniture? European solid wood furniture and French solid wood furniture not only sell well in the international market and earn foreign exchange through export, but also perform well in the domestic market and have a lot of sales.
As for modern Chinese solid wood furniture, it is basically sold in the domestic market, and is fully disassembled and assembled, which is very simple and convenient. In addition to being sold in specialty stores, it is also sold online.
After customers place an order online, the goods will be delivered to their door. For simpler furniture, customers can also assemble it themselves very conveniently.
As for more complex furniture, if there is a brand store nearby, they can send staff to install it at home. If there is no brand store coverage, you will need to find a cooperating merchant.
If there is no exclusive store and no cooperating merchant, then we must explain it clearly to the customer before the customer places an order. If the customer can accept that there will be no door-to-door installation service, then we can ship the goods.
After more than a year of development, the number of Huaxing furniture stores has grown to hundreds, covering most first- and second-tier cities with relatively developed economies.
And this number is increasing at an increasingly faster rate. The goal for next year is to reach 300 stores, with a new store to be opened every day and a half.
Currently, the overall operation is good. It is expected that in 2009, the sales volume will reach 12 billion yuan, the output value will reach 15 billion yuan, and the profit will reach 3 million yuan.
In fact, although 15 billion yuan may seem like a lot, this factory is very large, with more than 3000 workers. It is normal for each worker to create an average output value of 50 yuan.
And this is only the output value of 15 billion yuan, which after deducting all the expense costs is only 3 million yuan. If we calculate the factory rent, we have to subtract several tens of millions more.
In fact, this profit of 3 million yuan is only theoretical profit.
This is because the profit of 3 million yuan is only the result of a rough calculation based on the price of furniture that has already been sold. In fact, due to the purchase and storage of a large amount of wood, as well as a lot of furniture in stock and exhibits in various stores, the investment has not yet been fully recovered.
In addition to a large amount of furniture inventory and stored timber, opening a specialty store also requires costs. Many specialty stores directly purchase the property rights of the store. The investment cost of such specialty stores is even higher.
The so-called profit only exists on the books, but in reality there is not a penny, and the debt is still owed!
And as more and more specialty stores are opened, we have to continue investing!
In addition to good sales, we need to continue to expand production capacity and recruit more workers, which also require continued investment.
But it doesn’t matter. Even if it is furniture in stock, it is money and has value.
As for the stored wood, it goes without saying that it is definitely money and has value.
Moreover, as the price of wood becomes higher and higher in the future, the price of solid wood furniture and mahogany furniture will only get higher and higher.
Therefore, these inventory of furniture and stored wood will not only not depreciate, but will appreciate more and more, and you will only make more money in the future.
As for developing specialty stores and investing in shops, there is even less to worry about. These shops are basically located in the city's commercial center, in the city's most prosperous places. The prices of these shops will only get higher and higher in the future, so there is no need to worry about depreciation. They will only appreciate by multiples, or even several times.
So at this stage, as long as there is no loss on paper, there is nothing to worry about.
As for not being able to see where the money is now, you will naturally see it in the future.
Therefore, an annual output value of 15 billion yuan is just a beginning, and an annual sales volume of billion yuan is even more just a beginning. Our goal for the future annual output value is to reach hundreds of billions of yuan, and our sales volume must also reach hundreds of billions of yuan.
This is not impossible. If we simply produce rosewood furniture, it may be difficult to achieve an annual sales volume of 100 billion yuan. However, if we also produce imported red oak solid wood furniture, it will not be so difficult to achieve an output value of over billion yuan.
Moreover, it is not just the domestic market, but also the vast European and American market.
Having survived the international financial crisis of 2008 and now 2009, the European and American markets will fully recover in the future. There will be a very large demand for all kinds of European and American style red oak solid wood furniture, so there is no need to worry about a lack of orders.
This has already begun to be experienced. If the sales of Huaxing Furniture in the European and American markets in 2009 were only an exploratory stage, then next year it is likely to become an explosive stage.
By the end of 2009, Huaxing Furniture had already received orders from many European and American countries. According to the current production volume, the production capacity for the first half of the year has basically been fully booked.
This is also the main reason why Fan Jinliu hurried over to find Yang Hai.
Should we continue to expand production capacity, or what?
If we want to expand production capacity, how should we expand it?
If it is impossible to expand production capacity, Huaxing Furniture will have to carefully consider accepting orders from Europe and the United States.
Otherwise, if delivery cannot be made on time, compensation for breach of contract will be required.
