Chapter 214: Internet + Strategy
Changing the world is not only a relatively illusory ideal, but also the reality of Zhou Shi's existence, and he is changing the world of his previous life every moment. So every time I talk about changing the world, I am so pious that everyone believes it. He regards the development of the domestic high-tech industry more as a difficult game. To live a new life, you must always be willful!
Lei Jun took over the responsibility of communicating with Huang Huainan, and while Zhou Shi was waiting for news, he waited for Li Shufu and his CFO Yin Daqing of Geely Automobile.
"Is it for Jaguar Land Rover or Volvo this time?" Zhou Shi took the initiative to ask.
"Couldn't it be something else?"
"Do you want to advertise on your friend's network? But this kind of thing can't be done by the two of you, right?" Zhou Shi
"Lao Li, let's talk about it directly!" Yin Daqing, "We are interested in both Jaguar Land Rover and Volvo, and we want to hear from you." ”
"You should have had an idea a long time ago, the acquisition of Jaguar Land Rover is more for the brand, and the acquisition of Volvo can also have technology. "Zhou Shi
"Then do we have any hope?" Li Shufu
"There's hope, there's hope. "Zhou Shi
"So how are we going to buy Volvo? "Li Shufu
"Of course it's money, Ford is sure that it's short of money, and it can definitely be smashed out with money."
"After Ford sells Jaguar Land Rover, will it sell Volvo?"
"How do I know, you should go and ask Murali. "Zhou Shi
"We don't have you well-informed, and your achievements in the United States are the envy of us. We don't have any channels in the United States, and we still have to rely on friends like you to help. ”
Zhou Shi listened to Li Shufu's untruthful words, and felt a little uncomfortable, Mom sells batches, does Lao Tzu look like an idiot like that? I have already revealed a lot of information to you, so that you can prepare in advance, and do not disclose at all when you encounter difficulties, and I want Zhou Shi to help him for free. It's really too much to underestimate the cheekiness of these traditional industrial tycoons!
"I can't remember the specifics, if you want more detailed information, you can buy from Analysys International, they may have opened such a consulting business. "Zhou Shicai doesn't know if Analysys International has such a business, since you are a hooligan, don't blame him for messing around. At most, discuss with Ye Yang, and fool Geely without hurting the company's reputation.
"Mr. Zhou, can you provide Mr. Lu He's contact information, we want to have a chance to cooperate with him. "Yin Daqing
MMP, it turned out that he couldn't believe himself, Zhou Shidun felt bored, but he still smiled: "No problem!", and then gave them Lu He's contact information.
A hairy boy in his twenties is still difficult to trust, maybe he can try to grow a beard to make himself appear more mature. At least no one will say that the hairless mouth is not firm.
Ford is not in a good situation right now, and it is not a few months away from going bankrupt, just like General Motors, which will also go bankrupt soon. It's a pity that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Geely is still a little powerless in the face of such a giant. It was also cautious to pry a piece of meat out of his mouth.
To be honest, if it weren't for Murali at this time, Ford might have gone bankrupt in the financial crisis. You must know that when Murali came to Ford from Boeing last year, Ford Motor (Group) lost $12.7 billion for the year. Due to the economic environment, Ford Motor Co., Ltd. was faced with overcapacity and inefficient operation, and in order to cope with the crisis, it continued to reduce product production. As a result, Ford's market share in North America fell by 4 percent in 2006. In the second quarter of 2007, it made a profit of $750 million. Murali then developed a bold "One Ford" plan: focus only on the Ford and Lincoln brands. Mass layoffs, plant closures, model streamlining, organizational downsizing, he took control of Ford's balance sheet in a timely manner. It became the first of the three major U.S. auto giants to emerge from the subprime mortgage crisis.
At this time, the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis had not spread, Ford was not facing a desperate situation, and it was still very difficult for Geely to acquire Volvo. Besides, selling Jaguar Land Rover is also a big business, and Ford obviously doesn't have the time and energy to deal with so many things at the same time. But should you fight the son of Tata? In the previous life, Jaguar Land Rover developed very well in the hands of Tata, especially in China, where huge development and profitability were the most favorable basis for them to get out of the subprime mortgage crisis. When you go to the United States to discuss with Lu He?
There are too many possibilities for development in the future, and Zhou Shi can't do everything at this time, wanting to focus on the high-tech industry and make a name for himself in the financial market. In recent years, the automobile market has been magnificent, bankruptcy, mergers and acquisitions, mergers and acquisitions, and anti-takeovers. In his previous life, he really wanted to try to be a "barbarian at the door" and incorporate high-quality enterprises into his portfolio.
Zhou Shi was still obscene, imagining that he punched Nanshan Kindergarten, kicked Beihai Nursing Home, and crisscrossed the global financial market, Lei Jun and Huang Huainan came to his side together.
"Simon, I still reserve my own opinion on the development direction of the friend network" Huang Huainan knew that Zhou Shi liked to be simple and direct, and just sat down to explain his intention. And did not want to compromise at all, continued: "So .......".
"Lao Huang, I suddenly have a strategic idea now, and I think if we make results, maybe it can become a national strategy. But I still need you to help me go through the details, I think it's very feasible, but after all, I don't have too much practical experience. Zhou Shi interrupted what Huang Huainan wanted to say and threw out a big bait.
"What do you think?" asked Lei Jun eagerly.
Zhou Shi was silent, staring at Huang Huainan, wanting to see his reaction, if he didn't even want to hear this, it meant that he had made up his mind to leave.
Huang Huainan is also a little hesitant, on the side of Time Friend, he is not satisfied except for his opinions on the development direction of the company. Even if Zhou Shi gives more rights to the growth team and Wang Xiaochuan, he still has a lot of rights compared to other companies. And the vigorous and upward development trend of the friend network is something that everyone can see. It is obviously impossible for him not to have more ideas about the network of friends, but the conflict of ideas is really difficult to reconcile. Lei Jun and his conversation proved Zhou Shi's stubbornness, making the development of the technical director friend network almost a foregone conclusion, he was unwilling, but he didn't want to compromise. originally wanted to threaten him with resignation, but before Zhou Shi let him play, he had a new move, which was still so tempting!
"Simon, what do you think? "Huang Huainan
Zhou Shi heard Huang Huainan's answer and knew that there was still hope for redemption. This talent's willingness to leave is not so firm, and he has more room to operate. As a management talent who has grown up overseas, his ability is beyond doubt.
"My idea is simply Internet + strategy!"
