Chapter 141 The Death of the Giant Beast(2/2)
When the fight broke out, I smashed the computer and told them to get lost.
The people in our country are not cooperative at all. Once you have shares, they will fight with you, causing the company's structural instability.
Therefore, I will never engage in any joint-stock system. Later, whether it is Behemoth or Lao Platinum, the parent company must be owned by me personally, and I will consider only controlling the following subsidiaries.
I only give my executives high salaries and bonuses, even if it's higher than the share dividends they deserve.
There are too many companies in our country that have died due to infighting. For example, Aido, which is engaged in VCD, was actually the founder who gave away too many shares when he founded the company. In the end, the company no longer belonged to him.
Many people said that I was stupid, including experts in newspapers and on television. They said that a major reason for my failure in Behemoth was that I did not understand the corporate governance structure.
But Xiaoqing, let me tell you, this model is correct.
From then on, there was no internal fighting in my company."
After saying that, he looked at Qing Yun intently and said, "You came from the countryside, and our experiences are actually very similar. Of course, I am a little happier than you, I admit it.
But in essence, we all come from a small place to a big city to make a living, and the interpersonal circle in our native environment will not bring any benefit to our development.
Therefore, we will instinctively believe, or want to join a group with the students around us to keep warm.
However, people's hearts are separated from each other. I tell you this story just to tell you not to believe too much in the so-called friendship between classmates and roommates.
Don't even believe it too much...forget it, you can figure it out yourself."
Qingyun nodded, "Uncle Shi, thank you."
Shi Yuzhu waved his hand nonchalantly and called for two lunch boxes.
An ordinary lunch box with one meat and one vegetable is no different from what migrant workers eat.
Of course, Shi Yuzhu's eating habits are no different from those of migrant workers.
"Ask me if you have any questions, don't delay my game play."
This sentence made Qing Yun dumbfounded. After turning around through Lao Baijin, Shi Yuzhu, who had paid off his debts, was just a wealthy idler who indulged in online games every day.
But yes, with an old platinum partner and a black gold partner, this guy will be fine for the rest of his life.
When giving gifts to the elderly, there is nothing wrong with giving these two.
He thought for a while and asked about a doubt in his heart.
"Uncle Shi, aside from the previous stage where you had to gamble your life, in fact, your business has always been very stable.
Why did you think of building the Behemoth Building so high back then? It was completely unnecessary."
Shi Yuzhu sneered when he heard this, "I never thought about building a behemoth building from the beginning!"
After that, he threw away his chopsticks angrily, "I only planned to build a research and development base.
The Yamen gave me the land, which was half sold and half given away, so it only cost 125 yuan per square meter.
Later, a leader came to inspect the construction site. When he visited the construction site, he told me that the location of your place is quite good, why don’t you build it higher?”
"So, you are tempted?" Qing Yun raised his eyebrows.
Shi Yuzhu rolled his eyes at him, "It wasn't me who was tempted, it was the local people who were tempted. So the R&D base became the Behemoth Building, on the 38th floor."
After saying that, he shook his head and sighed, "I only had four to five hundred employees in Haizhu at that time. On the 38th floor? Even if one person has an independent office, there is no need for it.
"Then why?" Qing Yun was also a little stunned. This is indeed... too anti-intellectual.
Shi Yuzhu glanced at him teasingly, "Where is your Jincheng tax bureau?"
Qing Yun suddenly realized.
I want to save money, so I rent an office.
Okay, I understand.
This is normal. It is definitely not okay for the government office to build buildings randomly.
Shi Yuzhu's face felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly, "Later Huating said that it would build the tallest building in the country, so the building changed from 38 floors to 54 floors.
Not long after, Yangcheng came up with a new plan to build a 63-story skyscraper.
Someone suggested that I should win glory for Haizhu City, win the title of the tallest building in the country, and become the landmark building of Haizhu City.
So, like the Golden Cudgel, the Behemoth Building became 72 floors after someone shouted ‘big big’ a few times.”
He counted on his fingers, "In 1992, I plan to build a research and development base. The funds I need are only a few tens of millions.
At that time, Behemoth Group had assets of more than 100 million and cash of more than 100 million. I was working in software, which was originally an asset-light model.
Building an R&D base is within my capabilities. At that time, I also came up with the idea after others gave me ideas to adjust the asset structure in order to go public.
The original plan to build the Behemoth Building was to have 12 floors, and the cost was only tens of millions, so I can still afford it.
The 38th floor requires more than 200 million yuan in funds. I gritted my teeth and lived a hard life for two years. After all, the construction period is also two years, and I can get enough money to repair it."
Having said this, he slapped the table hard, "The budget for a 72-story building is only 1.2 billion. This gap cannot be solved by me, or in other words, it cannot be solved by Behemoth Software."
Qing Yun understood, "So, the Behemoth Group subsequently made computers, sold off-the-plan properties, and engaged in health care products... so-called diversified operations, but are you still gambling on your life?"
Shi Yuzhu was silent for a while, but shook his head, "It's not that I want to gamble my life, but public opinion has pushed me to that position, so I can only gamble my life."
Then he shrugged, "This time, I lost the bet, it's that simple."
After that, he clasped his hands together and put his two index fingers on his nose, "Xiao Qing, topics like 'revitalization of national industries' will be discussed every now and then in the past, present, and future.
.
It can be used as a packaging coat, a slogan to seek public recognition and government support.
However, if it is regarded as the fundamental guideline for the development of a large enterprise, then if you are not careful, it is likely to get you into trouble and go astray.
Therefore, you must be careful and don’t get carried away by the halo.”
Qing Yun smiled awkwardly, and Shi Yuzhu also smiled and gave him a roll of his eyes, "Forget it, you can figure it out yourself."
"Uncle Shi, why didn't you get a loan at that time? I noticed that from the development of the Behemoth Group to its collapse, you never asked a bank for a loan." Qing Yun still asked this question that had been confusing for a long time.
A popular saying at the time was that Shi Yuzhu lacked modern management thinking and necessary financial knowledge.
But this argument itself is untenable.
Unlike those township entrepreneurs who became rich overnight without any education, Shi Yuzhu was the first entrepreneur in the country to clearly propose that "management is also a productive force."
Behemoth Group is also the first truly modern enterprise in the country and has formed a unique management mechanism.
Qing Yun's cheap father-in-law, Qin Tianchuan, also launched a modern enterprise transformation after seeing the model of the Behemoth Group.
In fact, from very early on, Behemoth has been a very crisis-conscious company.
Just two months after the leader inspected Behemoth Group in 1992, Shi Yuzhu sounded the alarm of the crisis at an all-staff meeting.
The employees' memoirs after the incident also clearly stated that Shi Yuzhu ruthlessly and straightforwardly analyzed the five major hidden dangers of the Behemoth Group at that time:
Entrepreneurial passion has basically disappeared, big business problems have emerged, management levels are low, product industries are single, and technological research and development is insufficient.
How could such a far-sighted person make such a mistake?
During the most glorious period of Behemoth Group's marketing, monthly market returns reached 50 million, and even exceeded 70 million in the later period, and began to sprint towards the 100 million yuan mark.
With such a high cash inflow, he can apply for a working capital loan to invest in the construction of the Behemoth Building, and then use the project under construction to mortgage the loan in installments.
Under this operation, although the completion of the Behemoth Building is difficult, it will not bring down the entire Behemoth Group.
Faced with Qing Yun's question, Shi Yuzhu smiled bitterly for a while, "Do you want to criticize my 'zero debt theory'?"
Qing Yun shook his head, "What you said today, Uncle Shi, and the information I collected from newspapers and magazines are completely different concepts. I think there must be your reason behind it."
Shi Yuzhu laughed repeatedly, "Newspapers? Haha!"
It looked like Xie Xun had met Cheng Kun and went crazy.
After half a day, he recovered, "Those people are worse than bitches."
He took a sip from the teacup and said, "How much they praised me back then, they only added insult to injury during the crisis of the beasts."
After saying that, he shook his head, "It's not that the monster crisis cannot be overcome. During that year, I resumed production and sales several times, but they were disrupted by the follow-up reports of those reporters.
Every time a report appeared, a group of key people would leave, and a group of debt collectors would come to visit. This process became a vicious cycle, which ultimately left me unable to recover."
Speaking of this, Shi Yuzhu laughed sadly, "Do you know what the editor-in-chief of an economic newspaper said to me when I was repaying my debt?
He said, 'Mr. Shi, we are also reflecting on whether the media was too uncool back then.'"
Qing Yun was a little suspicious of his words "not as good as a bitch", but when he heard this, he understood.
