When Sayahu and the others left, Jing Jian and Miller stayed alone in the room. Miller smiled and explained to Sayahu and the others: "Bramble, those researchers are indeed a bit conservative. Actually... I was also shocked after hearing your thoughts. But I was even more excited! It seemed like I was back on my wedding night."

These words were somewhat complimented. Jing Jian smiled and nodded in his understanding: "It's not that Dr. Sayahu and others are conservative, but that they still underestimate the status of computers. Blue Star Network, PC direct sales, mobile phones and game consoles, in fact, among these four major fields, Yikai can completely split into four great companies. It's a pity that at least it will not be possible in the short term."

Unlike the future where domestic listed companies can be split again and again and again, the United States will be very troublesome to split and list, and they will face layered obstacles from shareholders and legality. Although due to various coincidences, these four major projects have been concentrated on Yikai, you should also understand that if they are listed separately, Jing Jian’s equity valuation will definitely be greatly improved.

Of course, Miller understood this, and he smiled and said with a funny look: "It's not impossible in the future. The US government forced Yi Kai to split it."

A burst of laughter rang out in the room.

Miller's words painted a very beautiful picture. Only when it comes to the Anti-Monopoly Law will it face forced splits. However, by that time, Yi Kai was already in a monopoly position in the four major fields? Such "pain" must be something that cannot be desired, right?

However, Jing Jian was not worried about Yi Kai. After all, in the history of his previous life, all four major fields had strong opponents, and it was quite difficult to reach the level of monopoly. On the contrary, it was the standard? There was a little hidden worry.

Anyway, it’s too early to talk about any hidden concerns. When Jing Jian thinks of famous opponents such as AOL, Nintendo, Nokia, Apple and Dell, he thinks of another question: "Miller, I think the company should set up four independent departments, each responsible for a strategic project. In addition to being a direct PC salesperson, Blue Star Network is temporarily still a team of Iceberg Network. But the game console and mobile phone projects require two full-time vice presidents."

It is preparing to seize food from the tiger's mouth, and the intensity of the future competition can be expected. If you cannot focus, the prospects will definitely be bad. Although Yikai cannot be split at present, four independent accounting departments can be established within it.

Miller suddenly understood what Jing Jian meant. Although he might have divided part of his power,... in fact, the impact is really not too great.

Blue Star Network has a mature team, and it was merged into Yikai by a listed company. Even the department structure is quite complete. Miller can't get involved. The game console and mobile phone department are not even a single word yet. At present, Yikai's core department only has PC direct sales, which is actually equivalent to the vast majority of Miller's manager company. Moreover, if the mobile phone project and game console project are successful, will Miller, as the chairman, still be the first contribution?

So after pondering for a few seconds, Miller nodded and agreed: "No problem, I will arrange for the headhunting company to find someone immediately."

After talking about the company structure issue, the topic shifted to operation: "The United States' factories maintain their current scale and no longer invest in expansion production, and will gradually move to areas with lower costs in the future. The new production base in Europe is located in Eastern Europe, and you will conduct a comprehensive investigation of which country. All production bases in Asia are transferred to China. Especially in the future, China will become the focus, where there are quite cheap labor costs and an excellent investment environment."

"China? Not Taiwan?" Miller felt a little strange. Currently, Yikai's production base in Asia is located in Taiwan, which has a very mature supporting industry, and artificial labor is still quite cheap (in the eyes of Americans), especially the original network of relationships, if all of them are transferred to China at once, it would be quite risky.

Jing Jian does not need to explain this question, as long as he is arbitrary, it is enough to be arbitrary. It is better to see it at first sight. After investing in China, Miller will discover the beauty of the world's factory. Moreover, PC direct sales itself is competing for costs. No matter how cheap the labor cost in Taiwan is, can it compete with mainland China at that time?

...

After solving internal problems, we now need to solve the cooperation with Philips like a quick knife. Jing Jian himself doesn’t have that much time, and Yikai can’t afford it either, and the opportunities for the emergence of the mobile phone and game console industries are fleeting.

Philips, as a century-old company established in the Netherlands, mainly produces lighting, home appliances, and medical systems products. Philips has long developed into a world-renowned large multinational company.

I won’t introduce the company’s glorious history in detail, but I will talk about Philips’ development around the 1990s.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Philips' exciting new products and new concepts continued to emerge. I won't say much about that energy-saving lamp, especially Philips Research Laboratory has also made breakthrough progress in the processing, storage and transmission of images, sound and data, thus inventing laser discs, laser turntables and optical telecommunications systems.

Later, Philips simply founded PolyGram, which achieved great success in music recording and became one of the world's five biggest record industry giants. If there are those born in the 1970s who like music, they should remember how many stars were in Hong Kong PolyGram back then?

Entering the 1980s, Philips ushered in a new technological milestone: launching compressed discs. In the mid-1990s, it cooperated with Sony to launch another innovative product, DVD, which became the fastest-growing home appliance product in Philips' history.

However, at this time, Philips and Sony fell into a misunderstanding - they pursued perfect technology too much on DVD.

Since DVD adopts the technical standards of MPEG-2, the clarity has reached 500 lines. Secondly, from the perspective of audio effects, DVD can provide 2 stereo channels and 1 5+1 Dolby AC-3 surround sound channel, which can provide high-quality surround sound. That is to say, it completely surpasses video tapes. Therefore, Philips and Sony, which have huge profits in the audio tape and video tape market, have to wait until the DVD technology is fully mature before gradually introducing it to the market.

However, at this time Philips and Sony did not foresee the broad prospects of the CD market, nor did they know the huge demand that emerging markets such as China and Eastern Europe have.
