Before the plan started, Chen Qiaoshan suddenly received a message that Lenovo came to the door.

The call was made by Dong Ying, and Lenovo took the initiative to contact Shen Jiye and had already indicated its intention to invest.

For Lenovo, Chen Qiaoshan is naturally no stranger.

The two sides have dealt with each other twice, and they have given him the upper hand, and the relationship is not good, but it is not to the point of tearing his face.

Lenovo has been in an eventful time lately, its diversification strategy has failed, the young marshal has taken the initiative to cut salaries, cut related R&D departments and mass layoffs, and recently been busy buying IBM's PC division.

Although the news has not been officially disclosed, the media in Hong Kong has begun to hype it, among which most of them are bearish, and Lenovo's stock price has also continued to fall.

The choice to come to the door at this sensitive event is somewhat unexpected.

Chen Qiaoshan was a little puzzled, he asked Dong Ying on the other end of the phone: "Aren't they making PCs, and they have no business intersection with NSFOCUS, how do they want to talk to us about cooperation?"

Dong Ying has already done relevant understanding, she explained: "The contact with us is not Legend Holdings, but its subsidiary Lenovo Netroyal, which is spun off from the information security business of Lenovo Group, of which Lenovo accounts for 51% of the shares, and the rest of the shares are in the hands of AsiaInfo." ”

"Lenovo Netroyal?" Chen Qiaoshan thought about it carefully, but he didn't have any impression at all, but thinking about Lenovo's past style, it is estimated that it will either be liquidated or sold, and it is obviously not a good partner.

Dong Ying said: "Mr. Shen has talked to people, although the other party has not made a clear statement, but the intention to cooperate is very clear. ”

After a little hesitation, Dong Ying said again: "Mr. Chen, the R&D department has been built, but the gap in the account is relatively large, and the next plan is difficult to carry out. ”

Although NSFOCUS has certain technical advantages, the future prospects of the industry are uncertain, and it is still unknown whether it will be profitable in the future.

Chen Qiaoshan understands Dong Ying's thoughts, he is now the major shareholder and actual controller of NSFOCUS, Dong Ying is nothing more than trying to pull an investor into the market, reduce the current financial pressure, and at the same time, share the investment risk.

In Internet-related industries, it is popular to take investors' money, and Dong Ying and Shen Jiye's ideas are understandable, but Chen Qiaoshan is not much interested.

As one of the supporting industries of the Internet, cyber security is certainly impossible to ignore.

Chen Qiaoshan knows better than anyone that the future market demand of NSFOCUS is not something that can be imagined today, and even if it requires long-term and uninterrupted investment, it is worth long-term layout.

Chen Qiaoshan is not short of money, including the capital, he earned more than 17 million US dollars this time, even if he does not continue to speculate, it is enough for him to squander for a while.

Chen Qiaoshan wanted to directly veto the contact with Lenovo, but after thinking about it, he stopped again.

NSFOCUS still has a long way to go to gain a place in the security market, and the most important thing is technology accumulation.

Chen Qiaoshan did consider financing, but it was for the purpose of technology introduction, and the first choice was investors in related fields.

"Director Dong, do you know the detailed background of Lenovo Netroyal, and what are their technical reserves?"

Dong Ying was a little helpless, she is now the vice president of NSFOCUS Technology, and she is no longer the secretary of the board of directors of Han's Laser, but Chen Qiaoshan is still called by Director Dong, which inevitably makes her a little uncomfortable, but the boss is willing, and she can't say anything, "I heard Mr. Shen say two words about this, the current market share is basically monopolized by An's China and Inspur Information, Lenovo Netroyal and AVIC Jiaxin belong to the second echelon, but they are better than us." ”

"Okay, I know the situation, you are responsible for this matter with Mr. Shen, you can talk about it, but you don't have to make a decision in a hurry, first find out the other party's intentions. Chen Qiaoshan first set a tone, thinking of the company's current situation, he said: "As for the matter of funds, you don't have to worry, I am very optimistic about the prospects of the security market, the company is still in the research and development stage, and we have our own technical advantages, as long as necessary, as a controlling shareholder, I will continue to inject capital." ”

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I will convey your opinion. Dong Ying is very happy in her heart, and the major shareholders are willing to continue to inject capital, which is definitely much better than looking for funds from outside.

Dong Ying knew very well in her heart that she was Chen Qiaoshan's person, and she must put the will of the boss first, if she really found financing, there would be another boss on her head, which would obviously be a lot more troublesome.

Chen Qiaoshan didn't have the heart to consider Dong Ying's idea, NSFOCUS is a long-term investment, in addition to Lenovo, he has a better partner on hand, Qualcomm.

Qualcomm has been diversifying in the past two years, whether it is for future layout considerations or seeking technology transfer, Qualcomm is the preferred target of NSFOCUS technology cooperation.

After meeting Gao Liwei of Qualcomm Investment last time, Chen Qiaoshan had a thought.

However, Green Alliance was dismantled by Shen Jiye, and it was not until Dong Ying joined that the situation improved, Chen Qiaoshan considered that the time was ripe to introduce external resources.

…………

Elliot was efficient, and it didn't take long for the two traders to be taken to the hotel.

In the words of the British, there are many candidates to choose from, and this time it is for Chen Qiaoshan to meet him, interview on the spot, and change him at any time if he is not satisfied.

Chen Qiaoshan didn't have so many ideas, compared with these veterans, how could he have the confidence to be an interviewer, but he was just pretending.

"Chen, this is Lu Zhaolin, this is Cecil, both of them are senior traders in the market. ”

Seeing Chen Qiaoshan, Elliot naturally acted as a middleman and took the lead in making an introduction.

In front of him, a Chinese face and a foreigner are all in their thirties, both of them are in suits and leather shoes, dressed in professional formal clothes, and they look very energetic.

Chen Qiaoshan has seen a lot and knows that this is the normal state of financial people, so he shook hands with people separately, and then asked directly: "Elliot should have introduced the relevant situation to you, I don't know what suggestions you have?"

The two glanced at each other, obviously a little surprised, this opening statement was too direct.

"Mr. Chen, Cecil and I don't usually take personal jobs, and if it weren't for Elliot's invitation, I would be on vacation in Hawaii with my wife and daughter. Lu Zhaolin replied in English with a thick accent.

Although it was just a sentence, Chen Qiaoshan heard something else, the one in front of him should be Li Jiapo, no way, the characteristics of Poe English are too prominent, three and tree are not clear, it is easy to distinguish.

Chen Qiaoshan knew the meaning of the other party's words, although he did not say it, but Lu Zhaolin's dissatisfaction was already obvious, and he was obviously very disdainful of Chen Qiaoshan's questioning.

A young man in his twenties, how does he look like a rich second generation, Lu Zhaolin and Cecil didn't look at it.

Young traders in investment banks are common, in order to reduce costs, but also to keep up with the market situation, vigorously promote electronic trading, this year is not uncommon news of senior traders being laid off.

On the contrary, young financial speculators are not common, especially Chen Qiaoshan, who is the favorite of the rich second generation in luxury cars, and it is obviously unreliable to engage in finance.

Chen Qiaoshan is picking people, and others are also picking him, but the angles are different.
