48, the end of the hero
"Then you still let the child work?" Li He was not surprised that Fu Xia bought the pizza shop where Fu Yao worked, this kind of thing was done by Fu Xia.
"I don't know my own son's temperament? Looking honest and silent, he actually belongs to a donkey, you say east, he goes west.
If I were to tell the truth, he would have turned around and left, and he might as well have just made do with it, at least not running around somewhere else. After Fu Xia finished speaking, she sighed unconsciously.
"When the child is older, you should give some respect, and don't always be self-centered and hurt the child's self-esteem. Li He doesn't know his son's temperament, but he understands Fu Xia, "The child delivers food every day, it's so hard, don't you feel distressed?"
"Didn't you tell me before, you have to starve its body and skin, empty its body, and can't grow flowers in the greenhouse," Fu Xia naturally had something to stop Li He's mouth, "Now that I'm doing this, you're not happy anymore?"
"Hey, it really doesn't make sense to you. He was worried that Fu Xia would dote on the child, so he said this, but in fact, he just said that he really made the child hard, and he couldn't be happy.
"Son, you don't have to worry about it, it's just a rebellious mentality, I understand," Fu Xia said with a smile, "Getting in touch with society early is considered exercise, not to mention, it's not hard to talk about."
Thinking about me, he ate and drank a lot, and there was nothing to worry about. ”
Li He shook his head, explained a few words, hung up the phone, and didn't say anything more.
Wang Ziwen and Qiu Liang cautiously sat back in the car and said nothing.
After staying in the United States for about ten days, the couple was preparing to go back, Li He's banquets were one after another, and He Fang didn't have time to accompany him, so he returned to China alone.
But whenever it is a dinner party, he never participates, he Li Lao Eryi pair flip-flops from the eastern hemisphere to the western hemisphere, the most unbearable etiquette, Westerners eat, people really eat, there is nothing to talk about, he is too lazy to wear a suit and tie, there is a fake greeting.
At this moment, he was standing on a large yacht, holding a fishing rod in his hand, looking at the float without blinking.
"Mr. Li, as an old friend, I urgently need your help. Peng Anton, chairman of Kodak Group, stood behind Li He, and his voice was very small because he was afraid of startling the fish in the sea.
"Kodak has had four consecutive quarters of revenue declines of 20% and four consecutive quarters of losses. Li He sighed and said, "You have been too attached to the profits of traditional fields for a long time, and you have missed the best opportunity for transformation. ”
"Yes, the hesitation of the digital market led to the loss of this huge market in the end. Peng Anton is not shy about it.
"Your most immediate question is whether you still have the cash to support your transformation after years of annual losses and a huge decline in performance in the last four quarters. Li He said with a smile, "KKR only invested $400 million and got a 17% stake, which is really cheap." ”
Since 1997, there has been no profit record except for 2007, and in 2009, Kodak announced that it would stop producing 74-year-old Kodachrome brand film, and the film era became history.
Li He understands that Kodak is not far from death.
"Mr. Li, we have a deep technical reserve, about 1,100 patents, as long as there is enough funds, we still have opportunities. Peng Andong swore solemnly, ""
"With the rapid popularization of digital technology, the competition in the production of digital cameras is fierce, and you have the ability to fight the price?" Li He said very directly, "Even if you seize the opportunity of digitalization, you can't survive by relying on digital equipment alone." The market for film and digital cameras was eventually wiped out by mobile phones and the mobile Internet. ”
Kodak is on the brink of bankruptcy, and it's not just because the company rests on its laurels and refuses to keep up with the times.
Over the past 10 years, Kodak has been trying to adapt to the changing times and launched some innovative products, but no one could have predicted that mobile phones would develop so rapidly.
"How can a mobile phone do photography!" Peng Andong exclaimed, "Photography requires special tools, and mobile phones alone can't meet the needs!"
"But for ordinary people, a mobile phone is enough," Li and Yang Yang said, "haven't you seen the comments on the Internet? Although the picture quality is not good enough, it is surprising enough."
As technology advances, I believe, it will be more interesting in the future. ”
"You mean let's get involved in the mobile phone camera module market?"
"No, it's just a suggestion. Li He took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "In fact, you have a lot of industries to do, you should use your technological advantages in optics, chemicals and materials to cut into new fields as soon as possible, instead of stumbling on the camera." Industrial X-ray applications, anti-counterfeiting marking systems, medical imaging, ultrasound solutions, oh too many. See what I mean?"
"Mr. Li, thank you for reminding us that we have been working hard to develop in the optical components industry, high-performance materials industry, printing system industry, document processing industry, medical life sciences and other industries, but we have not developed in depth. Peng Anton was stunned, but still didn't come back to his senses.
"Oops, yes. Li He took advantage of the situation and pulled a bream, "Well done!"
The faint smell of the sea inhaled into his nose made him feel refreshed and suddenly feel much younger.
"So, Mr. Lee...."
"My friend, I see what you mean. Li He waved his hand and motioned for him not to say any more, "I will introduce you to Mr. Bezos of Amazon, I think he will definitely have a little suggestion for Kodak, he is doing a good job on the Internet, we do industry, we need a little Internet thinking, don't you?"
"That's a good idea. Peng Anton shrugged his shoulders and accepted it.
"My friend, I want you to understand that if it's an acquisition, probably a wholly-owned acquisition, you need to explain this to the board, and I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble. Li He smiled, and suddenly his hand sank, and after the thread in the wire winder was finished, there was still a lot of pulling force, "I met the big guy." ”
Qiu Liang on the side immediately made a decision and cut the fishing line with the knife in his hand.
"The sea is always better than some fierce guys. "Peng Anton has long been surprised, although he has no hobby of fishing.
"Don't play anymore. Li He dropped the fishing rod and felt a little disappointed.
As soon as the cruise ship arrived on the shore, Ivanov greeted him, pointed to a person behind him, and said a few simple words.
"I don't think I need to introduce you, do you?" Li He looked at the man behind Peng Andong and Ivanov.
"Hello, Jeff, long time no see. Peng Anton took the initiative to say hello.
"Mr. Antonio, it's a pleasure to see you again. Bezos also held out his hand.
"I hope you have a nice chat. Li He didn't wait for them to respond, and went straight to the car.
