Rebirth: Let's Talk About 1984

According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.

Both of these companies have their own enterprise management system solutions, and they are among the most expensive in the world.

In my previous life, I had only heard of these high-end gadgets, but I had never actually come into contact with them.

First, call the IBM executives in Hong Kong who make servers and ask them.

I learned upon inquiry that IBM currently only offers the EAM asset management system. This includes enterprise maintenance management, asset management, inventory and procurement management, and decision analysis.

The main purpose is to strengthen cost accounting management based on the asset model.

Xing Baohua listened to the phone call while taking notes in her notebook.

After getting a general understanding, I called Nim, the motorcycle manager in the United States, to ask him.

Six Sigma!

Only then did Xing Baohua remember the name of the motorcycle's management system.

Nim asked Xing Baohua: "How did you know that we were just working on improving our Six Sigma process?"

Xing Baohua simply brushed it off with a "heard it."

Nim on the other end of the phone was practically rolling his eyes and saying, "I don't believe you for a second."

This is a core secret of the motorcycle industry, and we'll have to investigate how it was leaked. We can't let it be like a sieve, where a decision is made here and the other side of the Pacific hears about it.

Nim then understood what Xing Baohua meant: he wanted to use the motorcycle management system.

Nim then introduced their management system, explaining how they improved their processes, which he described as techniques for enhancing corporate quality management.

The pursuit of "zero defects" in business leads to a significant improvement in quality and a substantial reduction in costs, ultimately resulting in enhanced financial performance and a breakthrough in corporate competitiveness.

After Xing Baohua wrote it down, he thought about it a moment later: Zero defects? Even at the height of its glory, motorcycles couldn't achieve that.

Not to mention, Motorcycles has only just begun using the management system they created.

It sounds good, but it's too difficult to do.

So Xing Baohua invited the Nimpa management system team to develop a quality solution for his company.

He then asked IBM's solutions team to diagnose and resolve issues with the EAM asset management system.

Neither of them has a perfect enterprise solution, so let's use both together, since there's no conflict.

It's just a little money.

Subsequently, Yu Shenghai in Hong Kong was notified to send someone over to participate in the training.

The technical college established a management department, allowing a group of working university students to learn and gain a deeper understanding.

We're going to have to spend a lot of money, so we need to have our own people thoroughly research it.

This is much more satisfying than paying tuition fees haphazardly, which only makes you feel frustrated and helpless.

All management personnel will need to participate in the training.

We should learn from advanced management practices abroad, combine them with our local customs, and ideally create our own unique style.

However, this road is also very long and difficult.

To become a world-class company, we must persevere even if it's difficult.

There are still three months until the Chinese New Year.

That day, the chief secretary came over to report to Xing Baohua that the advertising department of CCTV had called and said that the director of the Spring Festival Gala wanted to invite Zou Wenjuan to appear on a program again.

The production team even wanted to invite Andy Lau. They found out that Zou Wenjuan and Andy Lau had a good relationship, so they helped invite him as well.

Xing Baohua frowned slightly. Could it be that the production team hadn't extended an invitation to Huaxing?

Xing Baohua then checked the calendar. The Spring Festival Gala in 1987 was on January 28th, and if he remembered correctly, the Super Bowl was on the first Sunday of February.

This day is also called Super Bowl Sunday.

Time is a bit tight.

It was still manageable, though. The New Year was a bit hectic and tiring though.

Xing Baohua asked her secretary to tell the production team to add a guest named Brother Zhang.

This can be considered a way of making up for the fact that Brother Zhang never performed on the Spring Festival Gala stage or gave an award in his life.

I just don't know if the central government will agree. They have such a bad temper, there's nothing you can do if they ignore you.

Give Wang Weibao another call and ask him to come back and handle things, and to take care of the necessary arrangements.

With hundreds of millions spent on advertising every year, they should at least give them this much face!

Are you going to withdraw your advertising fees without giving me face?

They must have been out of their minds to withdraw investment. In every corner of the country, there are only two CCTV channels, Channel 1 and Channel 2, not counting local channels for now.

How high are the ratings? Xing Baohua only knows that whoever appears in CCTV's commercials becomes famous.

Don't mess with this kind of powerful organization unless you have to; you can't afford to mess with them.

They have to be treated like royalty, and when there's nothing else to do, they have to drag those emperors from the advertising department out for food, drinks, and entertainment.

Otherwise, the rice advertisement would have been taken down long ago.

Xing Baohua's next step is to hope that the central bank will air more advertisements for health products to earn him some extra money.

They are short of money and are now heavily in debt, owing banks over a billion US dollars.

To easily repay debts, the central bank still needs to provide support.

After dealing with these trivial matters for now, he'll have to go back to the lab to continue working on his product upgrades.

In preparation for the launch of new products next year.

These are all things that are in the plan, already conceived on paper, and followed up by a team. Xing Baohua is just correcting some minor errors around the edges.

A week later, the management teams from Motorola and IBM arrived together, as if by prior arrangement.

Factory Director Li called over the factory's translator and, along with his entourage, went to the locomotive to greet them.

At the same time, the old factory director also learned the purpose of Xing Baohua inviting these people.

Diagnose electronics factories, find where the problems are, and fix them.

In a country where we still have to learn advanced management systems from others.

IBM quoted $38 million per year, while Motorola was cheaper at $15 million.

The reason why motorcycles are cheap is that they used a rice electronics factory as an experiment. They are still figuring out this quality management system and are not yet familiar with it, so they are embarrassed to charge more.
