Chapter 162 Hand in Hand
As the family business gradually advances its global layout, Lin Ruowei's busy life has entered a new stage. She not only has to balance domestic and overseas business, but also needs to take into account the advancement of the R&D center and strategic cooperation. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the strategy, Lin Ruowei decided to strengthen communication with the core team and personally participate in some key decisions. At the same time, her dialogue with family members and partners has become more frequent and in-depth.
On this day, Lin Ruowei invited several core family members to meet in the office to discuss the recent progress of the business and future plans.
"Weiwei, the recent global layout seems to be very successful, but it also brings a lot of challenges." Lin Zhengyi was the first to speak. He is the elder in the family who is responsible for finances. "We have invested a lot of resources in North America, Europe and Asia. It will take time to see returns in these markets. The capital chain and financial management need to be more cautious. How do you plan to balance short-term returns and long-term development?"
Lin Ruowei nodded and responded with a smile: "I agree with your point of view, Uncle Zhengyi. We are indeed facing pressure in resource allocation at present, but in the long run, these arrangements can bring us huge returns. As for the capital chain, I have discussed with the investment department and are ready to alleviate the pressure through more financing methods. At the same time, we are also actively negotiating with some international investors, and the sources of funds in the future will be more diversified."
Lin Zhengyi frowned, thought for a moment and then said, "Financing is a good idea, but we must maintain control over the company. You must pay special attention to this."
Lin Ruowei smiled and replied: "Don't worry, I will make sure we always have the upper hand and will never let external capital influence our decision-making."
Next, Lin Qingyuan, who is in charge of market development for the Lin family, spoke. He is Lin Ruowei’s cousin and is responsible for the global market operations of the family business.
“Weiwei,” Lin Qingyuan began, “We have recently encountered some problems in the South American market, especially changes in government policies have led to instability in the supply chain. Have you considered working more deeply with the local government to ensure the security of our supply chain?”
Lin Ruowei nodded: "Indeed, I have also paid attention to the policy changes in South America recently. Supply chain stability is one of our most important tasks at present. I have assigned a special team to go to the local area to discuss cooperation with government departments. We plan to establish more localized production facilities upstream and downstream of the supply chain to reduce dependence on imports, so that even if the policy changes, we can ensure that our operations will not be greatly affected."
Lin Qingyuan nodded in agreement: "This is a good strategy. Localized production can reduce many potential risks."
At this time, Lin Ruowei's assistant knocked on the door and walked in with a report in her hand: "Ms. Ruowei, this is the latest draft contract between us and our European partners. Please take a look."
Lin Ruowei took the document, flipped through it, and said, "Okay, I'll take a closer look later. Brother Qingyuan, can you first tell me more about the situation in the South American market, especially which links in the supply chain need to be strengthened?"
Lin Qingyuan immediately opened his notebook and pointed to a chart. “First, we need to consider establishing longer-term contracts with local suppliers for the purchase of raw materials. Second, some aspects of transportation, such as ports and logistics distribution, require more government support. We can consider building our own storage facilities at some key nodes, so that even if logistics are interrupted, we can ensure that we have sufficient inventory turnover.”
Lin Ruowei looked at the chart, thought carefully and said, "That makes a lot of sense. I will arrange for our legal and public relations teams to follow up on these suggestions to ensure that we can respond to emergencies more flexibly in the South American market."
After the meeting, Lin Ruowei returned to her office and was about to deal with the contract at hand when her cell phone rang. It was her European partner Alan Scott calling.
"Ms. Lin," Allen's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of excitement, "I want to share some good news with you. Our technical cooperation project in Europe has made a breakthrough. Our R&D team has just successfully developed a new technology that can increase energy conversion efficiency by 20%. I think this will bring great impetus to our environmental protection equipment project."
Lin Ruowei's eyes lit up and she immediately responded: "Great, Alan! This technology is crucial to our global layout. Can you tell me more about the details of the technology?"
Allen smiled and explained, "Of course. We have significantly improved the absorption and conversion efficiency of light energy by optimizing the molecular structure of photovoltaic materials. This not only reduces costs, but also allows the device to maintain efficient operation in harsh climate conditions."
Lin Ruowei was very excited: "This will help many of the projects we are promoting. We can apply this technology to projects in North America and Asia as soon as possible. I will arrange for the R&D team to connect with you to discuss the details of the technology integration as soon as possible."
“I am looking forward to our further cooperation, Ms. Lin,” Allen said. “It will be a win-win situation.”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Ruowei smiled. This technological breakthrough has undoubtedly added new impetus to the global layout of the family business.
She picked up her phone and sent a message to her R&D director: "Immediately arrange for the technical team to contact European partners to prepare to integrate new technological achievements and advance the project."
