The super-rich started by winning one million.

Of course, Yi Anguo couldn't let these redwoods fall into his own hands. Although the price when he purchased them was not high, he would definitely sell them when the price was about to peak.

If you don’t sell when the price is about to peak, and wait until the price plummets, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?
However, the price of the fine mahogany furniture produced by my company cannot be lowered casually. Sometimes price reduction is not a good thing and will make old customers feel uncomfortable.

Many people buy high-end boutique mahogany furniture with the intention of preserving or increasing its value. It is also a kind of collection and investment. Otherwise, who would spend hundreds of thousands, millions, or even millions or tens of millions on it? To buy a set of mahogany furniture?
Preference is one aspect, but in fact, collecting and investing also play a large part in my heart.

Not long after I bought it, you sold it at a lower price, which makes everyone feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, if you can't lower the price of high-quality mahogany furniture that has already been produced, you can just sell the logs directly, and you will still make a lot of money.

Anyway, the purpose is just one, to get rid of them before the price peaks.

In addition to small-leaf rosewood and large-leaf rosewood, the price of other mahogany, whether it is sea huanghuali, Vietnamese huanghuali, or Laos Siamese rosewood, as well as red rosewood, rosewood, Burmese rosewood, etc., is basically the same There will be steady rise, although there will be some twists and turns, but the price drop will not be too large, and it will still rise again later, and the price will rise higher and higher.

Especially for Siamese rosewood in Laos, the current price of aniseed sheets is only 100,000 per ton, compared with millions per ton in the future, and 5.6 million to 600,000 per ton. Especially good aniseed sheets, even millions A ton. That's already very cheap.

Therefore, these redwoods, which will still rise in price in the future, still need to be purchased.

After Yi Anguo visited all the warehouses and explained their follow-up plans, accompanied by Yi Xiaolin and Yi Xiaoman, he went to the production workshop to inspect it. It was not only a production workshop for high-quality mahogany furniture, but also a production workshop for modern red oak furniture. I also went to inspect the workshop.

Finally, we went to the fine furniture showroom of Anguo Furniture and looked at the sample furniture displayed in the showroom.

In addition to selling in specialty stores and online, Anguo Furniture also receives customers who come directly to the factory to place orders, allowing customers to visit the entire furniture production process, so that customers have no worries at all.

After walking around in a circle, it was almost time to eat. Yi Anguo didn't pay much attention to what to eat and ate directly in the cafeteria of Anguo Company.

The food in the cafeteria of Anguo Company is quite good, with chicken, duck, and fish available. There are more than 20 dishes for employees to choose from, satisfying the various tastes of people from different places.

Whether it's light, spicy or spicy, there are all kinds of flavors.

And the price is not expensive. It only costs 10 yuan a day, and you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The company subsidizes half, and employees only need to contribute the other half, and adopt a self-help approach, but there is a premise, that is, it cannot be wasted, and you can pay as much as you eat.

Anguo Company does not have a small canteen. Everyone eats together. The management staff's meals are the same as those of ordinary workers.

In fact, everyone is equal in the company, but they have different positions and different work positions. If even meals have to be divided into different categories, ordinary employees will be mentally uncomfortable and prone to dissatisfaction and opposition. mood.

And for Anguo Furniture Factory, the salary of ordinary white-collar workers sitting in the office is actually not as good as that of production workers in the workshop.

For example, those skilled carpenters specialize in the production of high-quality mahogany furniture from Indian small-leaf rosewood, Vietnamese huanghuali, sea huanghuali and other precious woods. Their monthly salary is as high as tens of thousands of yuan.

The salary of an ordinary clerk working in an office is five to six thousand yuan a month. After all, it is still 2010.

In addition to the relatively comfortable and less tiring working environment, the wages of ordinary office clerks are indeed not as high as those of production line workers.

The carpentry master on the production line falling in love and getting married to the beautiful clerk in the office is not a new thing in Anguo Furniture Factory. Several cases have already happened.

Yi Anguo was more willing to come to Anguo Furniture Factory to inspect the work, and he also paid a lot of attention here, because compared to other technology companies, he knew the furniture industry better.

As for Huaxing Technology Group, Huaxin Semiconductor Group, and Hua'an Microelectronics Group, even if Yi Anguo went to inspect these companies, he actually didn't know anything about high technology. He just wanted to contribute to this country's development with his passion. What contribution can you make to the development of science and technology?
As for whether these technology companies can bring him much profit, he actually doesn't care much.

fortunately! In addition to Huaan Microelectronics Group, Huaxing Technology Group and Huaxin Semiconductor Group can now basically achieve normal operation, at least the profits and losses have been balanced, and there is no need for him to continue to invest money.

I believe that normal profits will be achieved in the near future.

Although Huaan Microelectronics Group still needs to continue to increase investment and make technological breakthroughs, it is not without profit points. It has already achieved mass production on some low-end photolithography machines, packaging machines, and etching machines, and It quickly occupied some domestic markets and was even exported to some countries in Southeast Asia.

After all, the market for high-end lithography machines is not big. In many chip manufacturing, ordinary lithography machines are enough.

There is currently no way to develop and produce high-end lithography machines, but it is not difficult to produce low-end lithography machines.

If we do not need to continue to invest in the R&D and production of high-end lithography machines, we can actually make a lot of profits by just producing some mid-to-low-end lithography machines, packaging machines, etching machines and other semiconductor chip packaging equipment.

But the reason why Yi Anguo established Huaan Microelectronics Group was definitely not for production. These mid-to-low-end photolithography machines and other packaging equipment were to compete with Shanghai Microelectronics Group for domestic and foreign markets.

It is to develop and produce the most high-end lithography machines, break the monopoly of high-end lithography machines by European and American countries, and avoid being choked by these countries at any time.

You must know that Huaxing Smartphone wants to compete with Apple's mobile phone in the market, not to mention completely defeating Apple's mobile phone, but at least share the world with it.

Then the most critical chip production for smartphones is inseparable from the most advanced photolithography machines.

Now that the blockade of China by European and American countries has not reached its most severe stage, at least some relatively advanced high-end lithography machines can still be purchased. Even if these new high-end lithography machines cannot be purchased, these high-end smart chips can still be purchased. You can entrust wafer factories such as Poseidon Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to do OEM production.

So it seems that the impact on Huaxing Technology is not big now.

But what about the future? In the future, if we are blocked by Europe and the United States and cannot produce the most high-end mobile phone smart chips, we will lose all the hard-earned markets to Apple and other foreign mobile phone manufacturers.

Therefore, even for the future development of Huaxing Technology, we must continue to increase investment and develop the most advanced lithography machines.

The company is developing better and faster, hiring a large number of management talents, and there are fewer and fewer things that Yi Anguo needs to worry about.

Yi Anguo also knows that his abilities are limited, so he is willing to let go and delegate power to the company's executives. After all, they are the most professional in the daily management of these large companies.

Unless it involves very important investments, or other transfers, mergers and acquisitions, etc., he no longer interferes with ordinary matters.

Is this the main reason why he formed the Seven Major Groups? Only in this way can he dare to let go with confidence!
The seven major groups develop independently and do not affect each other, but they can cooperate with each other, help each other, and invest in each other.

One of the biggest advantages of establishing seven major groups is that if any group encounters a big problem, it will not affect other groups, reducing the risks encountered by the enterprise in its development.

The seven major groups have independent finances and independent management. To put it bluntly, if Huaan Microelectronics Group, Huaxin Semiconductor Group, and Huaxing Technology Group suddenly face bankruptcy one day, Yi Anguo will not be greatly affected. At most, it will be An investment in a company failed.

But as long as Anguo Group is still in his hands, and as long as there are no problems with Hualong Investment Group, it is impossible for him to live a hard life again.

Hualong Investment has invested a lot in what will be a super big company in the future! There are Tesla, Al, Qiangdong, Penguin, Apple, Amazon, etc. The shares held by any company are enough for him to spend no matter how much he wants in the future.

What's more, he has so many real estate properties under his name, and the rent he receives every month is a huge amount, which he can't spend all his money on.

After the meal, Yi Anguo was not in a hurry to leave. He also had his own independent office at Anguo Furniture Company, with a lounge in the office.

Although he rarely comes here, the office and lounge are always taken care of and kept clean and tidy so that he can come and use them at any time.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Yi Anguo convened a meeting with the managers of Anguo Furniture, focusing on the issues of production safety and dust-free production.

One of the biggest problems in furniture production is safety, especially in the production of mahogany furniture. Because mahogany is extremely dense and very hard, especially some customized mahogany furniture, there is simply no way to mass-produce it. When produced individually, The risk is greater.

For many years, old carpenters in mahogany furniture factories rarely have ten fingers intact and have not suffered any injuries. This is enough to show how important the safety issues in the production of mahogany furniture are.

Although the machinery and equipment of Anguo Furniture Factory are very advanced, their production safety is much better than that of other ordinary mahogany furniture factories.

However, we still need to pay great attention to production safety issues at all times. In the event of a production safety accident, even if the company will provide considerable compensation, it will not be worth the loss.

After all, once a finger is disabled, it will last a lifetime.

In addition, a large amount of wood dust will be generated during furniture production. Although large-scale vacuum equipment is installed in the workshop, most of the dust will be absorbed by the vacuum equipment in time, but it is still difficult to avoid being harmed by wood dust, so during working hours Masks must be worn, and employees are prohibited from not wearing masks during working hours or in the workshop.

Many workers find it uncomfortable and inconvenient to wear masks, so they resist wearing masks. Inhaling too much sawdust and dust can easily lead to pneumoconiosis. Masks can very well prevent such things from happening.

After that, Yi Anguo also focused on the issue of sales. The locations of specialty stores should not be too dense. How many more can be opened in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai? But in some second- and third-tier cities, there is no need to open too many stores.

The main direction of future sales will be Internet sales.

Recently, with the booming market for mahogany furniture, many mahogany furniture factories, large and small, have opened stores in bustling downtown areas.

However, mahogany furniture stores are opened in bustling downtown areas. Since the area required for mahogany furniture stores is not very small, the decoration needs to be high-grade. In addition, in the downtown area in the center of the city, the rent will not be cheap, so it is a big problem. Increased costs.

Now that the market is booming and business is good, it is not a problem, but when the market cools down, the operating pressure of the specialty store will be great. It cannot sell two sets of furniture every day, but it will cost a lot of money to open the door, and Labor and electricity costs?

Once business begins to deteriorate, the ultimate fate of these specialty stores is to close down.

Yi Anguo knows this very well. He has witnessed too many mahogany furniture stores. Business was once booming, but when the industry downturn came, they eventually closed down.

Therefore, Yi Anguo emphasized that we must not blindly open specialty stores, but must have a reasonable layout. In economically developed cities like Shenzhen, it is no problem to open a few more specialty stores. Even if it is difficult to operate specialty stores in the future, you can also change your business. Otherwise, you can rent it out to others and collect rent!
If you can buy a specialty store in a good location, you will definitely not rent it. Anyway, Anguo Furniture's current funds are very sufficient. Buying these specialty stores is considered an investment.

But in some second- and third-tier cities, there is no need to open too many specialty stores. In some fourth- and fifth-tier cities, it is good to open one specialty store in one city. In fourth- and fifth-tier cities with poor economies, there is no need to open one at all. A specialty store.

In cities with poor economies, there is no market for high-end, high-quality mahogany furniture. After all, it is too expensive and everyone cannot afford it.

For the few who can afford it, if he wants to buy it, he can place an order on the Internet or go to specialty stores in big cities and provincial capitals to buy it.

In fact, another important reason why the current mahogany furniture market is so hot is the consumption of public funds.

Some local departments, or other municipal departments, administrative institutions, when purchasing office furniture, because some leaders also prefer mahogany furniture and feel that mahogany furniture is more high-end and classy, ​​so they will purchase some. Rosewood office furniture.

Another thing is gift giving. For example, if you want a promotion or want to curry favor with your boss, buying a set of mahogany furniture and giving it to your boss can often have unexpected effects.

After all, people who can be leaders are basically a little older, and they still prefer mahogany furniture.

But after the second half of 12, a vigorous nationwide tiger hunting operation will begin.

Affected by this storm, all administrative and public institutions have begun to fight corruption and promote integrity. Which unit dares to spend a lot of money to purchase these expensive mahogany office furniture?
Naturally, the recipients did not dare to accept such expensive gifts, and the givers could not give them away even if they wanted to. Therefore, the market for mahogany furniture began to decline rapidly.

By 15, the mahogany furniture industry could be said to be in depression. Many manufacturers closed down one after another, and specialty stores also closed down.

Even many mahogany timber dealers have been forced to change careers because business is too deserted and the market is too depressed to survive.

Of course, Yi Anguo must take precautions before it happens. If he expands crazily and opens a lot of specialty stores now, he will definitely be greatly affected in a few years.

Therefore, we must strictly control this expansion and return to rationality. If we want to open a local store, we must conduct a detailed investigation of the local economic development and study whether it is necessary to open a local store.

After the meeting, Yi Xiaolin followed Yi Anguo into his office. After Yi Anguo sat down, he smiled at Yi Xiaolin and said.

"Is there something you want to tell me?"

Yi Xiaolin rubbed his head, looking a little embarrassed, and said slightly embarrassed.

"Uncle An Guo! I think... I want to resign."

"..." Yi Anguo was stunned and opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly found that he didn't know what to say.

He really didn't expect that Yi Xiaolin would resign to him at this time.

"I want to go out and start my own business. You have taken good care of me in the past few years, and I have learned a lot from you. I want to go out and start my own business. I will try to see if I can start my own business." Come?" Yi Xiaolin continued.
