93, the health care products industry with a sluggish future
After several important matters were resolved, the first management meeting of Zhoumei Electrical Appliances came to an end with Xiong Baizhou’s summary: “As a start-up company, we also hope that everyone will cooperate sincerely, with both division of labor and coordination, to solve the problems encountered now.
question."
At this meeting, Xiong Baizhou mainly focused on grasping the goals of the company. As long as the general direction is correct, even if he goes a little wrong, he can still pay the tuition. As for the specific operations, for example, how to carry out "school-enterprise cooperation" planning with the school.
Leave it to professional managers.
Unless he encounters difficulties that are difficult to solve, or the planned time exceeds Xiong Baizhou's psychological expectations, Xiong Baizhou will only look at the results.
Professional managers need a certain degree of decision-making power and trust to stimulate their subjective initiative.
After the meeting, Xiong Baizhou went to Liu Qingfeng specifically: "In terms of internal management, on the one hand, we need to recruit people, and on the other hand, we also need to purchase the company's fixed assets, such as commercial vehicles. People like Zhao Yapeng who often go out to socialize must have one.
car."
"Don't worry about spending all the money. Money earned is used to spend it. If it's not enough, we will borrow it."
"Three years later, if Zhoumei Electric does not have over 100 million in bank debt, it means our pace is not fast enough, or at least the scale is not large enough." Xiong Baizhou said with a smile.
In fact, this sentence cannot be considered a joke, but Xiong Baizhou has such an attitude, and Liu Qingfeng will have confidence in doing things in the future.
Suddenly, Xiong Baizhou thought of another thing: "How is Chunxiao's work situation now?"
"Zhou Mei's sales king!" Liu Qingfeng praised without hesitation: "The area he is responsible for often sells out. He is a sales talent."
"Then promote him to deputy store manager to reduce some of Wang Lianqiao's burden. Her cousin is coming over tomorrow." Xiong Baizhou made a decision on personnel adjustments.
At the current Zhongshankou store, although Wang Lianqiao does not have the official position of store manager, she has been exercising the rights of the store manager. Xiong Baizhou feels that it is not good to continue like this. This is also a manifestation of the extreme lack of human resources.
Liu Qingfeng was a little surprised: "The time is too short, the promotion started just now."
Xiong Baizhou explained with a smile: "This Chunxiao, I think he is still not confident enough. Let's see how much of his potential can be tapped with this kind of encouragement."
Since the boss personally initiated the promotion, Liu Qingfeng naturally had to agree. The basic quality of this group of shopping guides was already very good, and after polishing, they could be used as managers of various branches in the future.
After explaining everything, Xiong Baizhou said to Zhao Yeming: "I'm sorry, Brother Zhao, for delaying you for so long. I'll treat you to dinner."
"No need, I'm a little stuck right now and can't eat." Zhao Yeming slumped down on the sofa with a bit of depression.
"Brother Zhao is in a low mood at Zhoumei Electric. It must be something I didn't do well." Xiong Baizhou said feeling guilty, but he didn't take it seriously at all.
"Hey" Zhao Yeming ignored Xiong Baizhou's attitude and sighed to himself: "You Zhoumei Electric Co., Ltd. has a small number of people, a lot of money, and a promising future; our Shuguang company has a lot of people and little money, and it feels like a sunset industry."
"It's not too late to wake up and get to know each other now." Xiong Baizhou personally poured a cup of tea for Zhao Yeming.
Zhao Yeming forgot to pick up the water and looked at Xiong Baizhou blankly: "Do you also think that the pharmaceutical industry is a sunset industry?"
"The pharmaceutical industry is definitely not a sunset industry. On the contrary, in any country where the economy is accelerating, the pharmaceutical industry is booming."
"However," Xiong Baizhou emphasized: "The health care product industry will go downhill. The current domestic health care market is too chaotic. There are no health protection measures in the production process, and there are no scientific tests on the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. The efficacy is also false.
of."
After hearing Xiong Baizhou's outspoken remarks about the shortcomings of the health care product market, Zhao Yeming coughed to cover up: "It also has real curative effects."
Xiong Baizhou smiled and said nothing.
"Of course it's not much." Seeing Xiong Baizhou's "unfathomable" smile, Zhao Yeming finally told the truth.
"So, the current health care products industry is actually sitting on a powder keg counting money. Once an accident occurs, companies that have not transformed in time will be blown to pieces. The country must also introduce some policies to regulate the market." Xiong Baizhou's words were decisive.
.
Between 1996 and 1997, after several incidents of "health products killing lives" occurred in succession, the domestic health care products market was completely paralyzed. However, this also had an advantage. As the saying goes, if the state machine enters the market and sweeps it aside again, the health care products market will be completely paralyzed.
The food industry is much cleaner and more standardized, but for those companies, they will never return to their former glory.
These words of Xiong Baizhou have also been analyzed by Zhao Yeming, but Xiong Baizhou did not go into it in more depth. In fact, Zhao Yeming also noticed it when Shuguang's economic benefits continued to decline. He now has three ways to go:
The first is reform and transformation. If Sugon Healthcare is successful in its transformation, it will naturally not be affected by the decline of the health care product market. But the current situation is that Sugon does not know where the path to transformation is. Let alone Sugon, the King of Hearts in the market
Large health care product companies such as Sanzhu and Taiyangshen are actively looking for ways to reform;
The second is to give up health care products and enter other industries. The power within the family can also support Zhao Yeming to go on another path, but Zhao Yeming himself does not want to give up his current career. If he goes to other industries, he must start from a younger generation.
The third is to choose to enter other areas related to medicine, not necessarily in the health care products industry.
In his previous life, Zhao Yeming chose the third path. After Sugon Healthcare went bankrupt, he entered a state-owned pharmaceutical factory.
However, Zhao Yeming now encountered a huge butterfly.
"Where is the road to Shuguang?" Zhao Yeming's first choice is still to revitalize the company he founded.
"The direction of reform and upgrading and transformation is firstly to find a pillar industry chain for sustainable development, and secondly that this pillar can have long-term market vitality." Xiong Baizhou gave his own answer.
Zhao Yeming silently recited several times: "The pillar industry chain and market vitality, then how should we transform? Half of the workshops of Shuguang's factory in the suburbs of Panyu, Guangdong City have stopped production."
Zhao Yeming waited for Xiong Baizhou to give him a life-saving answer, but Xiong Baizhou's focus was elsewhere.
"You mean, half of the workshops are idle now?"
"Maybe more than half of them are waiting for you to save them?"
Since Zhao Yeming had his first conversation with Xiong Baizhou, he knew that some people's talents in business and marketing could not be learned from others. Therefore, in addition to appreciating Xiong Baizhou's fearless character of saving people, Xiong Baizhou's own qualities were also what Zhao Yeming wanted to learn.
Reasons to get acquainted.
Mr. Zhao was waiting for Xiong Baizhou to give him some advice, but Xiong Baizhou got other information from Zhao Yeming's words.
Xiong Baizhou suddenly changed his mind and said, "No matter how much we talk now, it's just talk on paper. Why don't I go to your factory and take a look before talking about it."
"That's the best. I've wanted to invite you to take a look for a long time, but I'm afraid you don't have time." Zhao Yeming was quite happy.
Xiong Baizhou smiled "hehe".
When the two of them had dinner in the evening, Xiong Baizhou used his expertise again and told some business anecdotes, but he always involved VCDs and electronic products intentionally or unintentionally. Xiong Baizhou emphasized several times in a row that "the VCD market is bound to be a big hit."
But it was also remembered in Zhao Yeming's heart.
After such a rewarding afternoon, Zhao Yeming was finally willing to leave. Before going out, he couldn't help but ask: "How old is your kid this year?"
"After this year, I will be 18." Xiong Baizhou smiled.
"That's okay. Some child prodigies are reciting poems at the age of eight. If they have such a sense of business at the age of 18, they seem to be able to accept it." Zhao Yeming kept using this reason to comfort himself, which made him feel better.
