In the first month or two of the year, there are many trivial things, but there is nothing to remember.

Whether it is internationally or in Gu Wei's career, nothing has happened that is worth writing about.

Oh, and if the hiccups of the Lucian leader Chimuko were a big deal, it would be to mention it - but in fact, Chimuco's death didn't cause any waves, because the Gowoodcutter had already made a de facto transition to power half a year before his death.

In addition, with the release of Texas Instruments' year-end financial statements for fiscal year 1984, the company's stock price soared several percent at the beginning of the year, resulting in a large wave of stock price finally skyrocketing, and the time for Gu Biao and Blackstone Fund's Deyi equity shipment finally arrived.

Because the data shows that the net profit margin for the whole year of fiscal 1984 soared from 6.3% last year to 17.4%, nearly tripling.

The net profit margin in the fourth quarter of '84 was particularly exaggerated, rising from 6.8% year-on-year to 29.1%! That is to say, it was the absolute surge in the fourth quarter that pulled up the average of the first three quarters.

In the first two days after the report came out, it rose by 25% cumulatively. After the first wave of the market passed, the stock price of Texas Instruments still rose by 2~3 points per trading day for a while.

The source of these profit data is, of course, because Texas Instruments CEO John Shaber cut the semiconductor R&D department represented by Zhang Zhongmou, saving the company a lot of money-

High-tech companies, the biggest cost expenditure is to engage in scientific research, the total revenue of Intel in the future, 25% ~ 50% of the money is reinvested in research and development, so Texas Instruments quietly, after secret modification of "self-destruction of part of the martial arts", can indeed save so much money at once, and take out tens of millions of dollars to all shareholders dividends.

Of course, in the eyes of John Chaber, this is not called self-defeat, this is called "optimal allocation of resources", "strategic abandonment of a part of the rib business that cannot compete for the threshold of technological monopoly".

Gu Biao also took advantage of the situation to command Peterson and Schwartzman, ready to start selling Deyi shares in batches to cash out, of course, you have to master the rhythm, you can't throw it out, that will collapse the market.

The wheel of history has entered March 1985 in a blink of an eye.

The Spring Festival in 85 is relatively late, and the New Year is only celebrated in late February, so the Lantern Festival has not yet been released in early March. Southerners are almost about to start work at this point, while northerners are estimated to be still in the cat winter.

In this winter, the hardest work should be the workers who are paid by piecework, and they have played the enthusiasm of Chinese workers in the 80s who were willing to work overtime and pay their lives.

The CD factory invested by Gu Biao in his hometown of Qiantang has been built under such enthusiasm, which can be called "Qiantang speed" - from site selection and measurement in October last year, it has only been 5 months since the civil construction was completed. Only internal installation and equipment procurement, transportation, commissioning remain. It is estimated that it will be put into production before the summer vacation.

The "Grand View Garden", which covers an area of 200 acres on the west line of Qiantang Xizi Lake, has also completed all civil engineering and garden transplanting and layout under the condition of abundant foreign investment. Nowadays, only the interior decoration of some attractions has to be done slowly. However, it does not affect the crew members of "Dream of Red Mansions" to experience life in the garden and learn the words and manners of the ancients.

After the Lantern Festival, the crew will reassemble in Qiantang and officially start on-site training.

The casting of the crew was also completely completed in the months when Gu Biao left China. Gu Biao later chatted with Ren Yuqin on the phone, and Ren Yuqin told him that Xu Mengrou was also selected, but her performance was not outstanding, and she was not assigned an important role for the time being.

However, Xu Mengrou originally escorted her with the mentality of "accompanying her girlfriends to the competition", but later she heard that this project was related to Gu Biao, so she showed some enthusiasm. Even if she is asked to play a maid in the end, she doesn't care.

These are small things, not worth mentioning.

On the other side of the Xiangjiang River, Zhang Zhongmou returned to China to prepare for the demonstration work of various investments and construction of Xiangjidian, and he was also in full swing. Just wait for the EIA and other links to pass, and then officially start construction in Shajiao, Xiangjiang - of course, those Brittan forces that have bad intentions towards Gu Biao and mainland capital will definitely not give up obstruction.

In fact, those obstructors in the dark corners cannot be said to be completely defeated, because without them to stumble, Xiangjidian might have started work by now. They delayed Gu Biao and Zhang Zhongmou for at least one to two months, so that Gu Biao had to make thorough preparations first. Do a solid job and start again, and those bed bugs can be regarded as having their own meaning in life.

For most of the month before and after the New Year, Gu Biao spent the New Year quietly in Qiantang, and his girlfriend Xiao Sui had a winter vacation because of his graduate school, so it was convenient to go back to Qiantang to accompany him.

There is nothing to say about these trivial things in life, but nothing more than the daily harmony of the piano, the recitation of poems, and the exchange of literary and elegant souls. Gu Biao is too lazy to pretend to be forced anymore at the level of life, anyway, it is impossible for anyone in the province to compare with the Gu family in terms of consumption and luxury, there is no opponent to compare, this kind of life is really lonely.

As for Mina's younger sister, because the cold winter is an important stage for the liquor business to open the Lucia market, she must personally sit in the rear to supervise the business and coordinate various resources and relationships, so she chose to accompany her family at home, but also avoided the problem of Gu Ao's lack of skills.

At the same time, classmate Ye Kun took a leave of absence for a while and returned to Jinling, her grandfather passed away due to liver cancer, and the bereavement leave plus the New Year's holiday will be closed for about a month. For the next two years, it was also inconvenient for her to have intersections with young men outside of work.

……

March 1, the tenth day of the first month.

Gu Biao handled the major business affairs in Qiantang remotely for a few days, and after feeling that there was no problem, he decided to take a period of time to go to the northwest to survey and make a show.

He officially fulfilled the obligations that he should fulfill after officially joining TNC and becoming a member of the Global Nature Conservation Association a few years ago. At the same time, he will also bring Professor Shinichi Watanabe of the University of Tokyo and Professor Lin Renze of the University of Hong Kong to show his face together.

Any circle has rules and conventions for any circle. Gu Biao did a good job of the show this time, which will help the status of the two chess pieces of Professor Watanabe and Professor Lin in the circle to rise again, and also increase the right to speak among other big names in TNC. It will be helpful for Gu Biao's follow-up pen battle in Xiangjiang's "development environmental assessment".

(Of course, although Gu Biao actually invited experts from some universities in Northwest China to make the governance plan this time, in the end, he "asked TNC to send experts to conduct on-site inspections and propose amendments", which was put under the names of Watanabe and Professor Lin.) As for the professors who work specifically, they may not have earned much in terms of reputation, and Gu Biao can compensate others in money so that they don't have too much hardship. ）

For other daily business problems, he believes that Schulhoff, his sister Gu Min, Shi Yuzhu, and Yang Shoucheng can help him take care of it.

Gu Biao knows his own catties, so in business, except for those major events that require a high degree of strategic foresight, he rarely handles the decision-making of the executive level in person now, whether to let go or let go, and whether to gradually give appropriate dividends and incentives to the management.

Gu Biao will gradually change to the identity of an investor, just like his cooperation with Zhang Zhongmou on the Xiangji project, he would rather only hold a few 40% of the shares in the end, plus the indirect shares without voting rights to hold about 60% of the interests cumulatively, he will be satisfied. In the future, when everyone needs to work together after becoming bigger, Gu Biao's shareholding ratio will definitely decline further.

"I'm going to go to northern Shaanxi, what are you going to do?

A few days before he was ready to leave, after Gu Biao was pestering for himself, he took advantage of the sage's time to discuss with his girlfriend.

Xiao Sui stubbornly insisted: "I'll go with you too, I'm in my last semester, and it's about the same as the 'graduation project' stage of other undergraduates, and the schedule is relatively free."

It's the same wherever you save a car, maybe you can go to the northwest to blow the wind and sand and collect the wind, feel a different kind of hard life, inspire inspiration, and capture the deeds worth writing, or not. ”

Gu Biao is right when he thinks about it, art comes from life, and it is higher than life. Xiao Sui is used to following him in fine clothes and jade food, and his inspiration has declined, so he wants to toss and endure hardships, turn his disease-free moaning into a sick moan, and after moaning, he will turn his moaning into a song.

Take two steps without illness, come out of a little illness, and then heal by life experience, and the process of creation will be there.

However, since he wants to do a serious job, Gu Biao still has to make plans in all aspects: this time he is going to put on a show, a show of charity and environmental protection, then he must be glorious and upright, and he must not leave a negative impression.

Therefore, it is absolutely not okay to "take your girlfriend to the mountains and rivers", if Xiao Sui goes, he must have an official identity, and he must endure hardships in a down-to-earth manner.

Xiao Sui is also a thoughtful person, and spontaneously thought of this, so he proposed: "Then I will officially become a reporter of non-fiction literature." The signboard of our literature workshop, can't you get such an errand? ”

Gu Biao thought about it and felt that this idea was indeed good.

"Then it's settled, but I'll tell you three chapters of the law: on any occasion that people can see in front of me, you are not allowed to show any affectionate behavior with me.

Also, you have to write, write about other people. Write about the working people who are diligent in planting trees, write about the environmental protection scholars, engineers and technicians who go deep into the masses and are down-to-earth, in short, don't write me directly, that would be too fake. I, a red cesium capitalist who donates money, leave it to people in the official media to write if they want, don't touch it. ”

Xiao Sui agreed.

After everything was ready, Gu Biao boarded the plane with a few secretaries and assistants, first went to Chang'an, and then took the train north and went straight to Yuzhou, where the Mu Us Desert is located.
