Chapter 92 Time Holdings
Seeing Feng Xing again, Zhou Shi was much more energetic. This conversation or chat went well, and it was basically about the establishment and operation of the company. He had a lot of considerations for these, such as the name of the company, and he decided on the word "husk", which comes from the classic line in Shakespeare's play: "Even if I am trapped in a husk, I still think I am the king of the infinite universe!"
When Feng Li and Li heard it, they also thought that this name was very good, and they both agreed.
The next thing is simple, the company was established in Shenzhen, the early use of the OEM model, the production of high-quality mobile phones, through the time market direct sales, and gradually expand the operator channels. With the blessing of integrated chip manufacturers such as MediaTek, in fact, the production of mobile phones is not difficult now, the difficulty is marketing, how to get rid of the copycat identity, and improving the grade is the most important. Therefore, the shell mobile phone that can smash walnuts is undoubtedly a very important concept marketing in the early stage. Then there is industrial design, which is undoubtedly the core of mobile phone design. It is also a powerful tool for the development and growth of OV factory. Then there is the market of Asian, African and Latin American countries, with quality and price, fiercely impact those wild places.
After forming a consensus, the Lantern Festival had not yet been celebrated, and Feng Xing had not officially resigned, so Zhou Shi and Li Ying set off for Shenzhen. Fortunately, now the country has opened up the mobile phone production license, otherwise it would be really difficult to do. Although Feng Xing himself did not come, several of his subordinates still came, supporting the skeleton of the Guoke Company. It was at this time that Zhou Shi discovered that money was really worthless. Time Holdings invested 5 million US dollars, but some of the necessary development equipment preparation, most of the expenditure, fortunately, at this time London copper at this time exceeded 5000 US dollars, after closing the position, deducted their share and handling fees, a profit of more than 24 million US dollars, with the name of Xinghai Investment into the shell of 5 million US dollars, the remaining funds are roughly 40 million US dollars, this fund is not used for the time being, if necessary, continue to invest in the shell.
The matter of Yanjing cannot be delayed, and Time Friends must also clarify the management personnel, and the mobile operation operating system also needs to be developed. Li Ying also went back to Beijing with him, and he always had to make up the management of Time Holdings, which was not completed last year. Now he is doing everything by himself, and he really has no leadership.
When she arrived at Time Company, Zhou Shi made Su Yunan the COO of Time Friends, and Tian Qing, a female general promoted by Time.com, who graduated from the Literature Department of Yanjing Normal School, was managed. As for the game company, it still did not let it become independent and took over Time Holdings. The chairman of Time Holdings is naturally Zhou Shi, Li Ying has become the CEO, the company's CFO is temporarily vacant, and other positions are also matched one by one. In particular, he found an experienced office director and began to equip Zhou Shi with secretaries and assistants.
However, this kind of position is obviously not easy to find a suitable one, especially Zhou Shi needs to go abroad frequently, so he has to work with the company's school recruitment to start training newcomers. Although Time Friends does not have the touting brought by financing and valuation, its popularity among college students is quite good, at least most of the college students who have graduated now have an account.
After several selections, Zhou Shi selected the configuration of one man and three women, and his appearance must be above the level. They are Bao Qixing (male) of Zhongcai, Fan Liuyi of Beijing Foreign University, Li Lingyun of University of Political Science and Law, and Pei Yuting of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. It can be regarded as having a talent pool in finance, investment, law and language. Although this recruitment process was closely monitored by Wang Xirui, Zhou Shi was still very satisfied with the results. A vase or something is not what he is looking for now.
Lu He and Ye Yang's team also returned from the US imperialists, and although they did not surprise him, they were already very sure of the emergence of the subprime mortgage crisis. Analysys International obviously wants to publish this research report, but unfortunately this operation was commissioned by two investment companies of Galaxy and Xinghai, and Ye Yang obviously has to pay the price if he wants to take possession of the results. After weighing the pros and cons, he transferred part of the equity to Time again, so that Zhou Shi's control of the equity reached 45%.
Just when Zhou Shi was worried about finding a qualified CFO, Yu Wei came up. Baidu has begun formal talks with Sequoia China, an investment company formed by Zhou Hongyi. There may have been a lot of communication in the early stages, but this time it went very quickly. I don't know if Robin Li knows that there is Zhou Hongyi behind him. Zhou Hongyi, who got all the acquisition money from Yahoo, is obviously not short of money, and the Far East is also ready to let go, and there is no hope for 360's profitability so far, and Gao Ran's ability has also received a lot of doubts, and reaching an agreement with Zhou Hongyi is almost a certainty. Yu Wei obviously has a lot of worries in the face of unknown investors.
"Actually, you don't have to worry, this time it is our old acquaintance, and the development after 360 is still very promising. Zhou Shi comforted him.
"Who the hell is it?"
"Zhou Hongyi!" Zhou Shi said simply and bluntly
"It's him," Yuwei said with little emotion
"What's the matter, this is not satisfied?" Zhou Shi is quite strange, no matter how Zhou says it, he is now a number of giants on the Internet, and there are people who support the company before it is established.
"Our Defeated Soldiers" Yuvi
"This can't be blamed on him, if someone is in his position, there is no way to win" Zhou Shi
"I still don't want to, it's a bit embarrassing to go to the defeated generals to do things. "Yuvi
"Then where do you want to go, Baidu or me. "Zhou Shi
"Of course I want to continue messing with you," Yuvi answered immediately
"You have to think about it, the wages here are not high, and we barely have any income now. You're coming, and your salary is going to drop a lot!What should you do with your 360 options?"
"I don't think time is worse than 360, I don't think there will be much loss" Yuvi
Listening to his words, Zhou Shi was a little hesitant, he was familiar with Youwei's candidate, so he didn't know if the current level had improved, and which level of CFO he had reached. Time Holdings has Zhou Shi's great strategic intentions, but with the current staffing, he really doesn't have much confidence to defeat another domestic social giant. But people can continue to grow, and if they can surpass or catch up with the development of another social giant, they may also become legends.
"Okay, you can come to Time Holdings, the position is still CFO, but if you can't keep up with the company's development, I'll still kick you out. ”
"Time Holdings?" asked Yuvi curiously
"This is a big adjustment for us, you will know when you go, the situation is very dangerous now, if it doesn't work well, it is likely to collapse. "Zhou Shi
"Oh! "Yuvi
"Don't think I'm lying to you, you'll know what's going on when you go" Zhou Shi
"Risks and opportunities go hand in hand, I believe in you and in yourself" Yuvi
"Then let's work together to achieve excellence!" Zhou Shi finally made a choice.
