Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

A day passed quietly, and Hu Zhenhua looked at the brightly lit Chongming, feeling quite contented.

What happened to the little people?

Still making history.

After an unknown amount of time, Assistant Zhuge Lin came behind Hu Zhenhua and whispered,

"Chairman, everyone is here!"

Hu Zhenhua then turned around and walked towards the meeting room.

TA's company expanded rapidly, and Hu Zhenhua didn't know many of the recruits. Taking advantage of his free time in the evening, Lao Hu planned to hold a general meeting to get to know everyone.

Hundreds of people have gathered in the conference room.

Those who can sit here are the backbone of TA Group.

The lowest level, and also the person in charge of a project.

In the conference room, Hu Zhenhua shook hands with everyone one by one.

Hu Zhenhua knew the heads of the first few subsidiaries, including the fishing company, airline company, cruise company, bicycle company, and textile company.

As for the others, some of them look unfamiliar.

After everyone sat down, Guo Dachong said with a smile,

"Today is a meeting, I guess. The chairman took time out of his busy schedule to come and see everyone."

Everyone quickly stood up and applauded.

Hu Zhenhua waved at them and motioned everyone to sit down.

"Don't be nervous, everyone, introduce yourselves. We're all in this together, so help each other out!"

As soon as Old Hu finished speaking, Guo Dachong's eyes fell on Zhao Zhi's face and said,

"Old Zhao, you should start by throwing out some ideas!"

Zhao Zhi was a little unhappy.

Brick? Who is Brick?

I am the boss of Shanghai!

Zhao Zhi stood up reluctantly and said,

"Dear colleagues, I'm Zhao Zhi, a director of TA Group and concurrently chairman of Sifang Real Estate. Let me tell you, the real estate industry has a bright future! Life's most important things are food, clothing, housing, and transportation. At Sifang Real Estate, our core business is 'housing.' From now on, if you need to buy a house, come to me. I'll definitely give you a discount you'll love! Sifang Real Estate plans to expand into Hong Kong and Southeast Asia in the future..."

Zhao Zhi took the opportunity to talk endlessly.

Hu Zhenhua's gaze rested on a special person: Liu Lu!

He was confused. Was this vase the head of a subsidiary of TA Group?

Zhuge Lin saw Hu Zhenhua's doubts and whispered in his ear,

"Ms. Liu is in charge of selling land on Irian Island!"

Old Hu suddenly understood.

It seems that this is the case.

When Liu Lu saw Hu Zhenhua staring at her, her pretty face turned red.

On the side, Guo Dachong saw that Zhao Zhi was talking endlessly, so he waved his hand, interrupted him, and said with a smile,

"Old Zhao, please stop talking and give the other managers some time!"

Zhao Zhi glanced at Lao Guo with dissatisfaction, and then reluctantly ended his speech, saying,

"In a nutshell: If you want to buy a house, look no further!"

The second person to stand up was Duan Long. He cleared his throat and said,

"Everyone, I'm Duan Long, the captain of the Umbrella Company's Security Team 1. I'm currently in charge of security in the industrial zone. If you encounter any public security incidents during your work, you can ask the security team for help."

The third person to stand up was Qian Wei. This playboy seemed to have matured a lot.

"Everyone, I'm Qian Wei, the deputy general manager of Future Aviation. If you need to use airplanes in the future..."

The reason this guy was able to become the deputy general manager was entirely because his uncle Liao Sanmin had huge influence in the Air Force and could help expand aviation routes in the future.

The fourth person to stand up was Ding Yun, the director of Chongming Iron and Steel Plant.

"Chairman, colleagues, I'm Ding Yun, the director of the steel plant. As we all know, steel is the backbone of industry. In the future, our plant will be committed to providing high-quality steel to downstream manufacturers. Currently, the foundation of our plant has been piled, and we are currently hardening the ground and laying rails..."

Next up is the person in charge of Chongming Refinery.

"Chairman, colleagues, I'm Peng Sen, the refinery director. If steel is the backbone of industry, then oil is its blood. Our factory..."

……

There were too many people and Hu Zhenhua couldn’t remember them all.

But there were a few people who impressed him.

Director of Tongan Machinery Factory: Jiang Yunhai!

Director of Tongan Pharmaceutical Factory: Ouyang Xin.

Director of Niushen Truck Manufacturing Plant: Li Yuntong.

Director of the Thor Artillery Factory: Tieliang!

Director of the Blackbird Aircraft Manufacturing Plant: Wang Jiashun!

Director of Houyi Firearms Manufacturing Factory: Luliang!

There is another one, Fang Cheng, the director of Tongan Electronics Factory who was just appointed by Hu Zhenhua.

TA Group has strict regulations on the naming of its subsidiaries, and words such as Tongan and TA are not allowed to be used easily.

Once used, it means that these subsidiaries will be the focus of the head office.

The reason for this regulation is to prevent some subsidiaries from using the head office's name as a banner and failing to make progress.

Of course, Hu Zhenhua also made preparations for this.

TA Company must be prepared for sanctions. Once its subsidiaries use the words Tongan and TA extensively, they will easily be targeted.

Among the one or two hundred subsidiaries of TA Group, only seven can use the word TA.

Among them, Tongan Machinery Factory is responsible for manufacturing machine tools.

Needless to say, pharmaceutical factories produce medicines.

The electronics factory currently produces televisions and radios, but Hu Zhenhua has high hopes for it and plans to produce integrated circuits, chips and other products in the future.

There is another company called Tongan Optics, whose manager is Luo Ming, a workaholic who did not attend the meeting at all.

As for the remaining three, they are TA Insurance, TA Textile, and TA Grain and Oil.

Hu Zhenhua really wanted to change their name, but the three people disagreed because TA Insurance was the company that TA Group started from and everyone had deep feelings for it.

When Tongan was first established, it signed loan agreements with major foreign banks in the name of TA Grain and Oil. It would be inappropriate to change the name now.

As for TA Textile, the same reason applies.

After everyone finished introducing themselves, Hu Zhenhua stood up cheerfully and said,

"I'm sure everyone knows the rules of our TA Group. Subsidiaries are responsible for their own profits and losses. They only need to turn over 30% of their annual profits. If losses continue for two fiscal years, the person in charge will be dismissed. If the group deems the company hopeless, it will be deregistered. Whether you are a dragon or a worm will be determined by your performance."

Hu Zhenhua's eyes swept across the faces of the participants one by one and shouted,

"Innovation is the key to a company's competitiveness! Today, I'm going to add another rule: Any subsidiary that achieves continuous breakthroughs in a certain technological field, or reaches internationally advanced levels, can apply for a reduction or exemption in the profits they must submit to the government. If your technology is sufficiently advanced and far ahead of the curve, you can even apply for a complete exemption! However, for those subsidiaries that lack ambition and have made no technological achievements, I will establish new companies to compete with them, and the fittest will survive!"

Hu Zhenhua knocked on the table and shouted,

"In a nutshell, we at TA Group practice science first! The word 'science' can refer to science and technology, or scientific management. In short, it can be summed up in eight words: scientific development, development of science."

clap clap clap!

Guo Dachong stood up and led the applause.

More than a hundred managers stood up one after another, and applause filled the conference room.

Since its establishment, TA company has not had a clear corporate culture. Everyone’s main goal is only one, which is to make money.

A company without faith will not go far.

Guo Dachong looked at Hu Zhenhua and sighed: "It has to be Huazi! Not everyone can be the captain of TA company."

The most scarce talent in this world is the leader.

A good leader can make many not-so-good people become good.

For example, among those who followed Liu Bang, Fan Kuai was a dog butcher. Xiahou Ying was a charioteer. Cao Shen was a prison manager (equivalent to a prison warden). Zhou Bo wove silkworm equipment and often played trumpet for funerals. Lu Wan was a gambler and a dishonest person.

These people were able to go down in history because they followed the right people.

Choice is often more important than hard work.

Why do people need to broaden their horizons? Because the more you see, the more paths you can choose.

Hu Zhenhua and others applauded a little weaker, and they put their hands up in the air to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Everyone, you've all worked hard during this period. Do you have any suggestions for the group and the industrial zone?"

Seeing that no one was talking, Shen Cheng, the manager of TA Textile Company, stood up first and said,

"Chairman, Mr. Guo, Director Zhao, and colleagues, let me discuss the issues at TA Textiles. Among our many subsidiaries, ours was the first to commence production and currently employs over 2000 people. In addition to cloth, we produce over 3000 pieces of garments daily. However, these products are difficult to sell. We've deployed a batch in Hong Kong and other places, but sales haven't been ideal. I'm currently preparing to expand into other regions. I'd like to share this with everyone, hoping you can take action soon!"

Hu Zhenhua pondered for a moment and said with a smile,

"When Manager Shen encountered a problem, he didn't wait around for help, but actively sought solutions. This is the quality a qualified leader must possess. Let's give Manager Shen a warm round of applause to encourage him!"

After the warm applause, Lao Hu asked,

"What styles of clothing do you produce? Draw them so I can see them!"

"Yes!"

Shen Cheng took out the pen he carried with him and started sketching. He had a deep foundation in design and could outline the shape of the clothing with just a few strokes.

Hu Zhenhua just took a few quick glances and roughly knew the reason.

"Manager Shen, please stop producing these clothes. The styles are mediocre. Rich people don't like them, and poor people can't afford them!"

The fabrics used by TA company are all made of high-quality long-staple cotton. The quality is impeccable, but the price is not so affordable.

Hu Zhenhua stood up and said loudly,

"I will use the difficulties faced by TA Textiles to illustrate the importance of innovation!"

He started drawing casually on his notebook, and in less than ten minutes, a simple women's clothing appeared on the paper.

This is a classic floral dress.

Hu Zhenhua handed the drawing to Shen Cheng and said,

"What is innovation? Designing new styles of clothing is innovation! As business owners, we need to put ourselves in the shoes of consumers and consider their needs! If I walk down the street and see everyone wearing the same clothes as me, how can I differentiate myself?"

Hu Zhenhua spoke as he drew, and in just two minutes, another piece of clothing was drawn, a women's miniskirt.

"Where does innovation come from? It comes from outstanding talents! Shen Cheng, I have a suggestion for you: change the compensation model and pay designers and other related personnel according to sales volume."

Hu Zhenhua pointed at the design on the paper and said with a smile,

"Take this dress as an example. You can start by producing a few dozen and releasing them to the market to see how they perform. If they sell well, you can increase production and continue releasing them. If they don't perform well, stop production immediately and change the style!"

Shen Cheng's face flushed and he replied,

"Yes!"

I didn’t even think of such a simple method!

Hu Zhenhua did not blame anyone, he just took advantage of the God's perspective.

"My second suggestion is to run your business through branding and take a differentiated approach. For example, this dress can have silk, cotton, and polyester versions! Use different brands for mid-range and high-end products, earning profits at the high end and focusing on sales at the low end! How to operate it specifically is up to you guys to figure out!"

"Yes!"

Hu Zhenhua gave Shen Cheng an encouraging smile and continued,

"The textile industry has many sub-sectors, such as men's wear, women's wear, children's wear, infant clothing, bed sheets, quilt covers, curtains, military uniforms, and so on. You can also explore fabrics. For example, you could blend polyester and cotton yarn to see if you can produce high-quality fabrics. For another example, you could consider bamboo fiber! You can also make efforts in the field of synthetic fibers! For example, polyester and acrylic have broad prospects."

Shen Cheng's face turned even redder.

Hu Zhenhua also felt that he had said too much and said with a smile,

"Okay, that's all I have to say about the textile industry. Everyone else, please continue!"
