Chapter 618 Women Are Really Ruthless in Spending Money

The procedure of today's wedding is not particularly different, that is, the bride in the Western-style wedding enters, and the witnesses don't know who they are looking for, but the best man is Wen Xiaoguang.

In many conventional rules, it is widely accepted that the best man must be unmarried, for Chen Bei, although there are many friends or brothers who have played since childhood and have known each other for more than ten years, but there are not many who are still honorably single at this age.

Wen Xiaoguang is also very face-saving as the best man, and being able to invite him is to represent the identity of the host. What the best man has to do is to help the groom 'grab' the bride.

This experience is a novelty for Wen Xiaoguang, and he is quite happy to play all the time, usually speaking, there are many small situations that need to be dealt with, but these are done by other people in the groomsmen group, he doesn't drink much, so Chen Bei naturally won't call him to drink instead.

Rules are always dead.

The thing in the hotel is nothing more than a meal, and the celebration that belongs to the young man himself is finally in the mansion of Zhonghai that Chen Bei bought enough.

Wen Xiaoguang met an old friend here who he hadn't seen for a long time, that was Chu Qiuchen's cousin, Ge Yao'er, who first knew Wen Xiaoguang.

After she failed to achieve her goal, she did not resist the pressure to go back to inherit the family business.

Most of the time, Wen Xiaoguang has no contact with her, and this time we met in the garden behind the mansion, which was a special fate.

Graduated in 09 and worked for 3 years, which made this girl look a lot more mature, and adults can always smile lightly in the past, even if it is pretended.

"Now in Guangzhou?" Wen Xiaoguang communicated with her face-to-face.

"Well, the family's business always needs to be taken care of. ”

"Remember wordrop first principles?"

"Puff...... Ge Yao'er burst out laughing, "Don't talk about the postgraduate entrance examination topics, I'm really afraid." ”

At the beginning, they met because of the graduate school entrance examination.

This kind of joke can make the atmosphere less awkward, which can be regarded as a special means of adjustment.

"What do you want to do?"

Ge Yao'er was wearing a bridesmaid dress, which was very different from the appearance of the college student at the beginning, "My cousin's house is a hotel." Our family is following behind to do supporting, of course, there are a few hotels, but mainly do some room decoration supply, I began to contact the business after also try to do some tourist attractions homestay, anyway, a small fight, can make a little money. ”

"Actually, it's more comfortable to do a small business. Wen Xiaoguang couldn't help but have the same emotion as Ma Yun, "You think we are beautiful, it just looks like this on the surface." ”

"Mr. Wen. ”

Under the shade of the pine trees on the garden lawn, Li Yidan shouted at him, Wen Xiaoguang turned around and saw that there was a mature woman beside her, "What's the matter?"

Li Yidan's eyes gestured to the person behind him, probably to her, "Sister Chu's friend, a TV host, talked to me about the interview, what do you think?"

"Interview me?"

"No, interview me. ”

Wen Xiaoguang was happy, "It's a good mix." You don't need to ask me about this, it's up to you. ”

Ge Yao'er also had an impression of this woman, it was a woman who came over in a Bugatti Veyron, and when she inquired about it, she found out that her family was also a famous businessman.

But unlike herself, she studied in a world-famous school, and she came out to walk on Wall Street, she failed to get good grades, and she didn't get into the graduate school entrance examination, so she could only go back to be a rich second generation.

A month's turnover is equivalent to a car.

When I saw the world, I realized that the world is very big.

Li Yidan and Ge Yao'er nodded, as a greeting, "Then you can talk." ”

"Are you bad at interviewing now? I haven't seen you on the Internet for a long time. Ge Yao'er joked.

"There is a little reason for this, but mainly because Yidan is now the queen of mobile Internet traffic, and she can decide the life and death of many entrepreneurs. ”

In Weituo, not all the limelight has to be attributed to Wen Xiaoguang,

Other people have also appeared in the media for special needs, such as invitations between friends, such as giving some speeches at industry conferences, these other people have been.

It's just that compared to Wen Xiaoguang's appearance, they will be very few, and the reason is very simple, they can't speak, they are not as wonderful as Wen Xiaoguang, and their personalities are not very willing to do this kind of thing.

On October 14, 2012, the manager of the investment department of Weituo also faced the camera, and the title given to her by the media was the investment queen that Wen Xiaoguang said.

After the wedding, the days returned to normal, and a special thing happened to Weituo, one was to determine the design plan of the new headquarters, with an initial budget of 1.28 billion yuan, and the construction of a house was still secondary, mainly with a lot of high-tech equipment.

Wen Xiaoguang used this to guide the concept of AI into the company, which was only a concept in 2012.

1.28 billion yuan seems expensive, but it's 2012, and if you look back at this building in seven or eight years, don't talk about it without 5 billion yuan.

No matter how much we fail, this building will not be bad.

Just like Sohu, the most valuable thing now is its headquarters building in Beijing.

The second special thing is that Li Yidan ran upstairs and downstairs with the host and cameraman, because people asked if they could take pictures of the work scene inside Weituo, and she agreed.

The moderator followed, and asked a question: "Don't you need to ask Mr. Wen for instructions on things like this?"

"Hmm...... This is not needed," Li Yidan replied very simply, "There is nothing that cannot be seen, if this kind of thing has to be reported, the boss is very annoyed, because there are too many things that need to be reported to her." ”

"WeTuo's corporate culture does not emphasize how strict the hierarchy is. ”

"Is it deliberately advocated?"

"There is no special advocacy. It's about the leader. Li Yidan walked a little forward and guided them to walk, "Because we are very young, Mr. Wen is a business wizard, but to some extent he is also a little boy, and when he is not so serious, he will mingle with everyone, and over time, we will get used to it." ”

"How much older are you?"

Li Yidan shook his head and sighed, "A whole round." ”

"It's okay, you're still very young and attractive. ”

"Thank you. Come and sit here, our company has some rest areas. ”

When it comes to a place with relatively few people, the host will ask some special questions, which are not unfriendly, but they are more difficult to answer, and some of them can't avoid Wen Xiaoguang.

"Is there any difference in working under someone so much younger than what I have experienced before? Is there something strange about him that is incomprehensible? ”

You can't talk nonsense about this, and it's definitely not okay to blame the boss for not being in place.

Li Yidan crossed Erlang's leg and put his right leg above his left leg, "I think it's a little more interesting." I used to work in the United States, and it was not in this industry, you know that the American boss scolds people very fiercely, and the feeling after coming to Weituo gives me a special freedom and casualness, and then I know that it is an Internet company, and the world's major Internet companies will not waste too much management resources on formalism, they will be more inclined to create a comfortable environment for employees. ”

"There are many reasons, the Internet needs some imagination, absolute worship of innovation, innovation is not only technology, but also management, and a large part of the ideals of science and technology people, most of his entrepreneurs pay more attention to products, ideals. ”

The host asked, "Is it easy?"

"Oh, it's not easy. Li Yidan couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Internet companies work very seriously overtime, and the competition is very fierce, because everyone is through brains and code, the cost of subversion is low, and the speed of change is fast, so the pressure is actually very high, I mean the way of work is very interesting." ”

"Did you join the company because of these in the first place?"

"It's not. Li Yidan shook his head directly, "If I want to enjoy the working environment, it's not difficult for me, because my father is actually a businessman." Mainly because I am an ambitious person. ”

"Ambition. The moderator used more explicit words.

"Yes. It's like this, the executive who has no ambition, the executive who will be satisfied with his status quo, is the one who will be fired in any company. ”

"So what do you think your ambition is, is it to be the queen of the mobile Internet? If not, what is your ambition?"

"This is scribbled by the media. Li Yidan said: "I am mainly responsible for investment matters, but I am not from the Internet, so most of the investment decisions are made by Mr. Wen, and his knowledge of the industry is far better than ours." But he's not very good at moving forward with the aftermath of the investment. ”

"The companies invested by Weituo are all cooperating with each other, we are not a financial company, just make a fortune and leave, or the purpose of our investment is not to make money, but to continue to provide better and more services to WeChat users, so the follow-up things are all done by me. ”

"As for my ambition, I've always wanted to be a part of the growth of a great company. I'm not short of money, I'm not short of good job opportunities, as a human being, I need something to satisfy my own sense of self-worth, so I've always sought to join a special company, and together we can do something different and give our value to society. ”

The host also understands, "This pursuit...... I don't know if the secular concept of making the company a Fortune 500 company is also a goal like this, and this kind of goal is also important in my heart?"

Li Yidan smiled and replied in a different way, "If one day, Weituo can make a name for itself in the world, I will be more satisfied." ”

In fact, the interviewer's questions are all good and to the point.

When she said this, she asked, "If you have such a dream, why don't you start your own business?" ”

"This is a misunderstanding. The value of a person is not necessarily to be a leader to be realized, entrepreneurship is a way to realize one's dreams, but it is not the only way. And it also has to do with the environment in which I grew up, I don't know if you have this experience, my parents would say a lot when they came home, 'How is it not easy for me to work?' ”

The host responded with a smile, "Of course there is." ”

"So what I heard was what my dad said, 'I think I'm the boss, and it's hard for me to do it', because my dad's company, like me, grew up slowly, and I experienced a lot of pain in the process of growing up, and sometimes I felt sorry for my dad and said, or don't do it, who is willing to do it." So this is a subconscious when I was a child, it was hard to be the biggest boss. ”

The host hit the nail on the head, "But you also said that this is the subconscious, what about the facts, is this really the case?"

"Half and half, some good and some bad. But for me, the good ones aren't attractive enough for me, but the bad parts are more annoying to me. ”

"What's the difference between best and worst?"

"The best thing is that you can control the direction of this company according to your own ideas, and the worst thing is that if you go in the wrong direction, you are the biggest sinner. ”

"Last question, why do you think Wen can always have this achievement?"

Li Yidan thought for a while, "His broad mind allows him to never block others from shining. ”

yes

At the end of this TV program, other executives of Weituo who have emerged in the past two years are used as examples to comment on this sentence.

Even the business strategy adopted by WeChat is to make other companies shine.

This is probably a concept of Wen Xiaoguang, which may not be absolutely correct, but it seems to be more suitable for WeChat.

Now there is another company that wants to join this ecosystem and enjoy such a dividend - JD.com.

Following the last time I met Liu Qiangdong,

After a few months, the two got together again.

......

And in Italy,

Leaving La Forta Castle, he boarded a plane in Turin to Liverpool, a city of just over 500,000 people and one of England's eight core cities, the capital of Merseyside and the home of the Beatles.

There are 2,500 famous buildings in the city, most of which were built in the late 18th century.

Liverpool's home stadium is Anfield Stadium, probably because Liverpool always puts on a comeback, so Anfield's home atmosphere is very strong, and it can be called the 'devil's home'.

On 20 October, the eighth round of the English Premier League will be played here, with Liverpool taking on Reading at Anfield.

Founded in 1892, Liverpool FC has a very long history and is a football giant, having won the UEFA Champions League five times, and Anfield Stadium is a mecca for football fans.

Its last brilliant time was in '04-09.

However, since '09, the club has been in a slump, and in 2010 it was on the verge of financial bankruptcy, and it was also the year that John Henry of Fenway Sports spent about £320 million to become the new owner of the Reds.

After becoming the new owner, the Liverpool team bought some people in the transfer market from 2011 to 2012, spending tens of millions of dollars, but the effect was mediocre, and in May 2012, the patiently exhausted owner sent away the manager Dalglish and found the new young coach Brendan Rodgers, who was only thirty-nine years old.

Wen Liushu came to Liverpool to watch a home game, she did not sit in the VIP box, but in the open air, felt the atmosphere here, and did the main buy the team.

Because Wen Xiaoguang told her about this decision, and said that he would come to Europe soon after, and Italy and England were the places he was going to.

Instead of waiting in Turin, she had come to the city of Liverpool beforehand to meet Henry in person.

The secretary next to her told her that Henry might accept the investment because Liverpool was in the construction period and needed funds, but Henry would not sell Liverpool because his journey to build Liverpool had just begun and had not yet seen the fruit.

Wen Liushu sat in the stands with a hat, in fact, she was not interested in this boring game, and so far only scored a goal by the home team Liverpool, but she just wanted to buy it.

She said to her assistant: "He spent more than 300 million pounds to buy this team, and now there is no improvement, and if you count the tens of millions of dollars he invested in buying players, you go to the offer and say that we will take over 400 million pounds, 400 million if you don't agree, 500 million, 500 million if you don't agree, 600 million...... Do you know what I mean? And so on, 600 million don't agree, 700 million. ”

"I understand, but I'm sorry to remind you, Ms. Wen, that the company doesn't have that much money. ”

"I have. You just go to the quote, and I'll take care of the money. ”

"But why is that? No one would do this business, even if every inch of this old club was turned over and sold, it wouldn't be worth so much money, we would lose a lot!"

Wen Liushu ignored the assistant's anxiety, she seemed very relaxed, "You're right, no one will do this business, because it's not business, Leo, go ahead." ”

"Okay, so what if £700 million still can't buy a Liverpool team?"

Wen Liushu said: "The Fenway Group is a listed company and a professional in the sports world, but it is quite a lot worse in terms of absolute wealth. If it still doesn't work, then we'll buy Fenway. ”

In fact, there is no reason why the offer is so much higher, Henry is the boss, but there are other shareholders around him, he does not agree, so he contacts other shareholders, as long as there is 50% profit, they will clamo for Henry to agree to sell.
