As one of the largest home appliance manufacturers in the mainland, Medea doesn't need to worry about brand influence, sales channels, or production processes.

Last year, they made money selling appliances, and with Su Yehao helping with financial management, they just need to maintain their mid-to-high-end positioning and move forward.

Su Yehao has never been particularly good at specific business management details.

However, in the future, he can undoubtedly be of great help with using the internet for advertising or developing online sales, given his capabilities.

But it's still a bit early to talk about that now. The scale of internet users hasn't matured yet.

Occasionally using tAt and tot, as well as the Silver Sea portal website, for advertising can deepen people's impression of Medea. Over the long term, as long as Medea Group doesn't make any mistakes, standing out from the crowd is only a matter of time.

The fact that the Su family is a major shareholder of Medea Group, with the final say in decision-making, already puts them ahead of the game.

Other leading home appliance manufacturing companies have certain drawbacks to varying degrees, such as inefficient decision-making, unscientific management concepts, disunity, and limited investment in research and development.

The Su family, however, responds to problems in a timely manner. With last year's major reshuffle, the business unit reform was successfully completed, and the power of speech has been taken over by Father Su.

What's even better is that as long as the performance continues to improve, the second shareholder won't dare to hold them back, thanks to the Su family's network of connections. It's difficult for unnecessary infighting to occur. At least in Focun, no one has emerged who can control Su Yehao and his father; they are truly mighty dragons crossing the river.

Father Su's Cultural Tourism City and the Medea financing project have been regarded as representative cases of investment promotion. Some newspapers and news reports frequently mention the names of the Su family.

Combined with the celebration to be held at the end of the year, even a reckless character wouldn't dare to offend the Su family at this critical juncture.

If someone were to complain, it wouldn't be a minor problem that could be easily resolved; a whole group of people would suffer.

An efficient decision-making mechanism will make the company's development much smoother. Therefore, Su Yehao accompanied his father to inspect the factory for two days and found basically no major problems. If he had to nitpick, it would be the lack of a clear long-term strategic plan, insufficient investment in research and development, and the absence of core advantages compared to competitors.

Overall, there are still too few talented people, and the management style is relatively rough.

Su Yehao believes that such a traditional manufacturing industry could establish a risk control department, or a think tank, to learn from and refer to the development experience of major overseas home appliance manufacturers, taking the essence and discarding the dross.

At this moment.

Su Yehao, wearing a safety helmet, is touring the highly automated air conditioner production factory.

His age is not even as old as many of the young workers, but none of the Medea executives accompanying him dare to ignore his existence. Someone will offer him water at the slightest sound, and someone will suggest taking a break if he stretches his legs. They are all paying close attention to him.

"This production line was ordered in June and just shipped back from Japan last month. It has the advantages of stable performance, low labor requirements, high production efficiency, significantly reduced manufacturing costs per product, and minimal space occupation. After assembly, it just started trial operation two weeks ago and mainly produces our new generation of products that are being promoted this year. Through my connections at Hitachi, I found some pretty good technology. It runs with low noise, cools quickly, and is especially energy-saving."

The speaker is Qian Wanhao, the general manager of the group. He usually has a very strong personality, but these days, in front of Su Yehao and his father, he always has a smile on his face.

This Manager Qian went to Japan to study in the 1980s and by chance joined Hitachi. In 1993, he joined the newly established Hitachi Mainland branch.

Taking advantage of the low competition and the limited size of the branch, he was very lucky and had a smooth career, reaching the position of President of Greater China, earning an annual salary of 750,000, second only to the direct reports dispatched from headquarters.

Since being poached by Father Su, his annual salary has skyrocketed to two million RMB, which is definitely a golden collar in the mainland. There aren't many people in the whole country with a higher base salary than him, so he naturally has the ability.

Relying on his own channels, he spent money last year to introduce a batch of Hitachi's home appliance manufacturing technology.

This company's business in the mainland is lukewarm. When it encountered the opportunity to sell non-core technology, it happily accepted tens of millions of RMB in patent licensing fees and provided air conditioner variable frequency compressor parts, super TFT liquid crystal display module parts with ultra-wide viewing angles, fully automatic washing machine and refrigerator production lines, and so on to Medea Group.

Finding ways to learn foreign technology is the mainstream development idea for domestic home appliance manufacturing companies at present.

Regardless of whether the technology is outdated, it is a skill to be able to buy second-tier manufacturing processes. Unfortunately, Hitachi does not intend to provide the most advanced air conditioner variable frequency compressor technology, but only sells finished parts to Medea Group.

But even if it is bought with money, there is still a chance to stand out in the market.

It must be admitted that Japanese companies are very good at manufacturing home appliances these days. They are still the mainstream in the international market, comparable to some companies in Germany and the United States, and have price advantages.

One must take things one step at a time. Su Yehao doesn't think there is anything wrong with it. When the production process reaches a new level, and the technology is thoroughly understood, relying on his resources in the United States, he may even have the opportunity to take Medea to the international market and seize the market share of Japanese home appliances.

Su Yehao came to a conference room, tried out the air conditioner being produced, and asked, "What level is this product in Japan?"

"...Mid-range, mid-range to high-end. A cooling capacity of 1.5 horsepower is also considered mainstream in Hitachi. Combined with our company's technology, the design is also very beautiful. It is considered high-end in the mainland market and can easily meet the needs of a bedroom of twenty to twenty-five square meters."

After spending a sum of money to buy the compressor for research and development, Manager Qian is very confident in the new products to be launched this year.

Su Yehao doesn't understand home appliances, but the cold wind blowing on his body is relatively strong, and the noise is controlled within a comfortable range. Especially after turning on the sleep mode, it feels no different from what he used in his previous life.

The performance is similar, and what matters are stability, energy efficiency, and price advantages.

Thinking of the price, Su Yehao then asked Manager Qian:

"Currently, the company's sales channels are still based on regional agent distribution, right? Are there any large chain stores in the market? Like Yamada Denki and BIC CAMERA in Japan..."

Seeing this scene, the corner of Tao Liangchen's mouth twitched. He thought to himself, "He's really not polite." Such a big matter, he should at least discuss it with me. How could he suddenly make the decision on his own?

He inexplicably felt a sense of usurpation and was speechless for a while.
