Chapter 784 has this qualification
After a deep conversation with Zhou Mengyi in the office, the two made a basic plan for the future development of THINK.
Yu Wenfei also proposed that THINK should make a fuss about the "THINK" brand in the future.
IN FACT, MANY PEOPLE HAVE A MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT THINKPAD AND THINK THAT THIS IS THE BRAND OF IBM'S PERSONAL COMPUTER BUSINESS, BUT IN FACT, IBM REGISTERED A LOT OF TRADEMARK NAMES WITH "THINK" AS THE PREFIX AT THAT TIME.
For example, "thinkcentre", which is a desktop-exclusive brand.
There's also "thinkstation", which is the workstation product line.
There's also "thinkserver", which is the server product line.
…… In addition, there are also products such as monitors, in short, there are not many products with THINK as the prefix.
And "thinkpad", just refers to laptops.
However, this laptop is too successful, and it is a direct-to-consumer product, so slowly, everyone only remembers the thinkpad and forgets the rest of the "THINK" series.
When acquiring IBM's personal computer business, Yuwenfei deliberately proposed that the ownership of the entire "THINK" brand series of trademarks belonged to Star Technology Group.
IBM also happily agreed, because they still have the IBM trademark to use, and they don't care about the THINK trademark. In terms of popularity, IBM certainly still has to overtake THINK.
But now, Yu Wenfei plans to use the "THINK" brand, because in the future, the company in charge of Zhou Mengyi will definitely not only make laptops, but also launch new consumer electronics products such as mobile phones.
The new mobile phone project has just been approved, and Yu Wenfei has personally named it, and the name is "THINKPHONE"!
Abbreviated as "TPHONE......
If the tablet is launched in the future, Yuwenfei is going to name it "TPAD", in fact, this name coincides with the laptop.
But that's okay, tablets are originally an extension of laptops, and there's nothing wrong with putting them in a sequence.
IBM HAS TRIED TO LAUNCH TABLET PRODUCTS MANY YEARS AGO, AND IT IS ALSO NAMED AFTER "THINKPAD", SO IT IS LOGICAL TO LAUNCH TABLETS IN THIS SERIES IN THE FUTURE.
WHEN THE FIRST TPHONE WAS LAUNCHED, THE CHIP MUST HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED IN-HOUSE, AND OTHER MAJOR COMPONENTS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED IN-HOUSE.
For example, screens, storage, cameras, etc., these still have to be purchased.
However, there are all kinds of screen storage camera lenses on the market, and the specifications are different, so if you choose the most suitable one from those products and integrate it into your own mobile phone, it will be a test of the level of engineers.
……
After talking about business, the two chatted for a while, and Zhou Mengyi suddenly remembered something, and took out a delicate leather oak box from her crocodile platinum bag.
He smiled and said, "This is a small ornament I bought in the United States, and it feels very beautiful." Your desk looks pretty empty, just right to put it on. ”
Yu Wenfei took it and looked at the LOGO on the front of the box, and smiled, "Cartier's little leopard?"
Zhou Mengyi nodded, "Yes, it's very exquisite, I like it when I see it when I go shopping." ”
Yu Wenfei opened the box casually, and it was indeed a vivid little cheetah.
Crafted entirely in platinum with countless diamonds, ruby eyes, and a lapis lazuli base, the price is certainly not cheap.
Of course, neither of them would care about the price of such a small thing.
After playing with it, he put it on his desk and said with satisfaction: "It's beautiful, thank you." By the way, are you going back to America again?"
Zhou Mengyi heard Yu Wenfei's praise, her eyes were bent, and she said with a smile: "Well, in three days, I will go back again." A lot of things at THINK haven't been sorted out yet, and I'm going to have to stay there for a long time. However, there are many times I have flown back to China. ”
"It seems that the matter of private jets is going to be put on the agenda, I will see how the China Eastern Airlines Pearl Company is doing in a while, and if I can, I will inject a sum of money into the past, so that they can purchase some business jets as soon as possible, and it will be much more convenient for us to fly abroad in the future." ”
Yu Wenfei remembered the matter of Mingzhu Company and said.
He said once at the fourth uncle's house a few years ago about the investment in Mingzhu Company, but he didn't receive a call from the fourth uncle for a while, and I don't know how his work is going.
It may be that the fourth uncle has just passed, and the company's internal affairs have not been straightened out, China Eastern Airlines is a large state-owned enterprise, and it is understandable that the efficiency is relatively low......
…………
Just when Yu Wenfei thought of China Eastern Airlines Pearl Company, his fourth uncle Yu Wenzhi was sitting in the office of the executive vice president of China Eastern Airlines Group at this time to report on his work, and the content of the report happened to be related to Yu Wenfei.
"Mr. Wang, I have been to Mingzhu Company for a while, and I have done an internal investigation on the business over there, and I feel that private jet clubs and air transport are still promising. Yu Wenzhi said sincerely.
Vice President Wang was a little surprised, this is not right, Mingzhu Company is obviously a subsidiary that no one wants to go to, when he said that he would appoint a general manager over there a year ago, all those who have some qualifications on the group headquarters are busy running relationships to intercede with leaders.
The purpose is not to compete for this place of delegation, but to ask the leaders not to send themselves over!
In the end, Yuwenzhi, who didn't seem to have much background, was sent over. And this appointment can be said to be reasonable, Yu Wenzhi was originally only a middle and senior management at the director level, not a group leader.
However, during his time in charge of the marketing business, his performance was quite outstanding. This time, he was sent to Mingzhu Company as the general manager, and in terms of rank, he was also promoted to one level.
"Oh, what do you say? Is there some rich man who wants to buy a private jet?" asked Vice President Wang with great interest.
After all, Mingzhu Company is also one of the subsidiaries he is in charge of, and if it can really develop, it will be a good thing for him.
As for only asking about the private jet business, and not about air transport, it is because he knows that at this stage, there may be rich people buying private jets, but there is definitely no market demand for air transport!
"Well, not really. Yu Wenzhi was stunned for a moment and replied honestly.
Vice President Wang didn't understand, since no one wants to buy a private jet, then the private jet club will not have business.
So where did the Pearl Company come from?
"Then what's the matter with what you said about the great promise?" asked Vice President Wang with a little displeasure on his face.
"Some companies want to invest in Pearl Company, inject funds into us, and directly purchase business jets from our Pearl Company, and start the private jet club first. Yu Wenzhi said with a happy face.
After he went to Mingzhu Company to report, he just straightened out the internal relationship of the company, and he should be wooed and excluded.
Although these things may not sound so good, they are essential if you want to be a good leader. If the department heads below don't listen to you, or if you go against you, then it will be difficult for you, the boss, to make any achievements.
Didn't the ancients say that if you go outside, you must first settle inside!
Now that Mingzhu Company is firmly in his hands, Yu Wenfei's original proposal can also be formally proposed to the group leaders.
Vice President Wang's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked in surprise: "Someone wants to inject capital into Mingzhu Company? Help us buy business jets? What kind of company is so rich! But ...... We are a state-owned enterprise, and under normal circumstances, we will not allow private and private enterprises to become shareholders. ”
It's no wonder he was surprised that a private jet is not cheap, at least hundreds of millions, and if it is the kind that can fly intercontinentally, it will be more expensive. And this is obviously not to buy one or two planes to set up a club, since you want to inject capital, to buy aircraft, not the whole dozen or so planes, are you embarrassed to say that it is a club?
That would have to invest more than 100 or even 2 billion yuan in Mingzhu Company.
Seriously, in this year, it's not good to do business with so much money, and you can make a lot of money by running a private jet club.
The reason why he judged that it was a private enterprise and a private enterprise wanted to invest was because it could not be a state-owned enterprise, and if it was a state-owned enterprise, it would definitely not contact Yuwenzhi, and would go through the process and directly contact the group leaders through the superior leaders.
Now I bypassed him and went directly to Yu Wenzhi, which was obviously a private company or something. Oh, and it could be a foreign company.
"This company ...... No, this person, Vice President Wang, must have heard of Yu Wenfei! If it were him, it would be no problem to invest in Mingzhu Company. Yu Wenzhi said unhurriedly.
"Ah, which Yu Wenfei, is that the one?" Vice President Wang blurted out.
But immediately he smiled bitterly: "It must be him, besides him, who else can Yu Wenfei have such strength." Since it's him, it's definitely no problem. But I said Yu Wenzhi, how did you get in touch with Yu Wenfei? Yu Wenfei ...... Yu Wenzhi ...... You guys...... Are you relatives?"
At the end of the day, he seemed to understand something.
"Well, I'm the fourth uncle of Yuwenfei, dear. Yu Wenzhi puffed up his chest and said.
Vice President Wang shook his head again and again, stretched out his hand and pointed at Yu Wenzhi: "You, you...... Let me say what is good about you, you have such a relationship, and you don't even say it! You have to say it earlier......
He didn't say what would happen earlier, but both of them understood.
It's nothing more than that if the group leaders know the relationship between Yuwenfei and Yuwenzhi, they will definitely take care of Yuwenzhi, at least they won't send him to Mingzhu Company.
"Hehe, Xiaofei is relatively low-key, and I don't like publicity, if he didn't want to take a stake in Mingzhu Company this time, I wouldn't have said my relationship with him in front of the leader. Yu Wenzhi smiled innocently.
If you change someone, you may want to take a stake in Mingzhu Company, but it is still difficult to do so.
But Yu Wenfei is different, he is the one who is listed in the city and even in the higher leaders!
Vice President Wang is still very well-informed, the chairman of the Shanghai Pudong Development Bank is Yu Wenfei, this kind of "fat" is generally impossible for private people to eat, Yu Wenfei can eat it, which shows that he has an extraordinary background in the magic city.
The acquisition of Lenovo Company shocked many people even more, because it involved the "competition" between the two major cities in China, but Yuwenfei easily won Lenovo, what does this mean?
The reason for this is thought-provoking!
Such a person wants to take a stake in Mingzhu Company, and it is not the main shipping business of China Eastern Airlines Group.
Seriously, the main leaders of China Eastern Airlines will definitely not refute his face.
In the magic capital, Yuwenfei has this qualification!
