Chapter 561: First Meeting
In 1997, the then Apple CEO Amelio valued Be at $50 million, and Garcy offered 500 million.
On the one hand, he felt that he had grasped the weakness of Amelio's lack of time, and on the other hand, he himself overvalued BE.
This is a man who can open his mouth widely.
Mr. Liang's phone call was not good news.
"Garcy is not a good talker, he doesn't seem particularly mature, he acts a little waywardly, he opened his mouth and asked for $40 million, and I left on the spot. There wasn't much frustration in Liang Shengjun's tone, this thing couldn't be done overnight.
The same was true of Chen's reaction.
But he also knows the fact that BE will be bought sooner or later, and the time will not be particularly far away, that is, in 2001, although he has no impression of the specific months.
Just like the purchase of Layden Park this time, if there is one more buyer, these people who see the money will not let go easily.
After thinking about it, Chen Zier said: "You can't be in a hurry, you can't be too anxious, you can grasp this degree yourself." And don't believe the lie that he will live and die with Be, when he sees the money, he sells it faster than anyone else. ”
Liang Shengjun looked up at the sky at forty-five degrees, he couldn't be too anxious, and he couldn't be in a hurry, what did this mean, if he had to do this, then he had to use some unconventional means.
BE is a publicly traded company and has the option of a forced takeover, but it doesn't need to get to that point at the moment, because Garcy is not completely rejecting the takeover. Then the key point is to make him feel that he is very short of money......
"Okay, I got it. ”
At the end of the call, Chen Zier reminded: "Pay attention to whether anyone from other companies has contacted Jiaxi." ”
"Do you think anyone else would be interested in BE?"
Chen Zier smiled: "My vision is not so bad that no one will pay attention to it. ”
In this way, Liang Shengjun probably understood why the boss couldn't help but be in a hurry.
Hanging up the phone, Chen Zier asked Liu Chang: "What is Luo Zhiyi doing?"
"Miss Luo has a brand event to attend today, and she seems to be preparing. ”
Chen Zier groaned for a moment, and then said, "Let's also be busy with business." ”
At half past five in the morning of the second day, he got up on time, there was a car at the door of the hotel, and the road would pass by the Yangtze River Group Center, which was the new headquarters that had just been completed last year.
If you're a tourist, you can think of it as one of thousands of skyscrapers, but not at the moment.
Li Chaoren has always given people a humble image and rarely made a public appearance. The higher you climb, the lower your stature, this is the wisdom of the Chinese way of life, once a large number of reporters blocked his door, the sky suddenly rained, Li Chaoren asked his family to bring an umbrella to them.
It's very soft, but it obviously doesn't mean that it's also soft in business.
Chen Zier knows this.
In winter, at this point in time, the sky is still dark, all around is quiet, only the soft roar of car engines, the iron gate slowly opens, and the mansion welcomes the young man who is rapidly becoming rich in the mainland.
Only Liu Chang followed him, and next to him were people who worked for the Li family, and this time was also very hard for them.
Along the way, bluestones, lights, shadows, and the occasional sound of people talking can be heard, turning one turn after another, the cold factor in the air makes everyone very awake, and it doesn't take long for the vision to brighten up from the outside to the inside.
Chen Zier saw the face that was already very familiar, the figure was already slightly rickety, wearing glasses, smiling all over his face, and the white turtleneck sweater added some youthful atmosphere to him.
He can always do the best in the details of receiving people, such as reaching out his hand to make a very welcoming appearance when he is far away.
I can't say that this is necessarily right, but there are always people who take this trick. Low-key and humble do have their inherent philosophy and value.
"Welcome, welcome, welcome. ”
Chen Zier was a lot taller than him, and he bent down a little at this time, "Thank you, thank you." ”
After a brief politeness, he invited Chen Zier to sit down on a soft chair, and hot tea was already placed next to him.
Later, he said in not very standard Mandarin: "Although I am in Xiangjiang, I have long heard that there is a business genius in the mainland, who has a net worth of hundreds of millions at the age of 23. ”
Chen Zier cocked Erlang's legs and replied calmly: "Now is the first step in the long march, and the wise old people always remind me that when I see the impermanence of the world, I should know not to be public, this time I still have to learn from the seniors in the business world, Mr. Li, for me, this is also a huge gain." ”
He doesn't understand technology, and management was learned later, and his actual ability to do things doesn't seem to be as good as Shi Yangqing, Diao Yijie, Liang Shengjun and others, but he has one thing that is stronger than them, that is, as soon as he speaks, he can always be impressive.
Just like at this moment, Chen Zier is so calm and humble, what reason does Mr. Li have to think that Chen Zier is annoying?
"I am also happy to meet such an excellent young man as you today. ”
With him taking the lead, everyone laughed.
Chen Zier does show a calm and calm attitude that does not match his age, our culture advocates moderation, too humble is not good, too overbearing and stupid, and the median value is the best.
So when talking to a big-name character, he won't behave out of place.
In the next time, Chen Zier made a brief introduction to his Shengshi Group and people, which is the proper meaning of the question, he said, the old man nodded, and often had a point-to-point opinion, and he was a person from the past in business.
The final center of gravity is pressed on the SPOD,
He brought something with him,
"This is our latest product, which is only available in the mainland and North America, and the response has been very good, in the United States we have not established a matching sales channel so there is no hot in the mainland, and with the help of pudding, there is a queue for SPOD in my city. ”
Li Chaoren was a little surprised, and got it in his hands with a little interest, he probably didn't have time to listen to music, but the artistic sense of the pure white appearance of the SPOD was very different from the clumsiness of all the electronic products of the 90s.
"Yes, very good. ”
Chen Zier's expression did not change and stared at the old man opposite, according to his feelings, it is estimated that as long as he doesn't take a piece of today, it will definitely be the word 'good', but if it goes further and involves actual cooperation, it may take a little time.
It is also understandable that, after all, not everything that happens in the mainland is clear, and a professional assessment is needed about what a SPOD is.
Exquisite, formal, and good.
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I have a habit of playing golf at this time, if you are interested, we can do it together. He asked suddenly.
"I came from a poor background, so I didn't start practicing since I was a kid, but I still play a little bit. ”
Born in poverty, it has become a shining point at the moment.
Heroes don't ask where they come from.
"Those who are like-minded do not take mountains and seas as far, and those who are obedient do not take proximity as near. Let's go, let's see. He seemed to be in high spirits.
Just play it, anyway, his capital is SPOD instead of golf, how good it is.
Liu Chang, who had just left the room and looked away for a while, came over and said, "Mr. Chen, there is something." ”
"It won't be boring to interrupt him at this time."
Fadell said he was approached by Microsoft and wanted to acquire SPOD and its associated patents. ”
Chen Zier didn't even want to think about it, Bill Gates couldn't come in person, "refuse." ”
"I understand," Liu Chang hesitated slightly, and gestured to Li Chaoren, "This can be used to show the value of SPOD." ”
He thought about it for a moment, this is Liu Chang wanting to stretch a sigh of relief for him in front of the richest man in China...... That's what Microsoft craves.

The author is now in his second year of graduate school, and June is the last semester of this semester, and my supervisor's thesis is urgent, and my progress has been a little slow before, so I have been doing most of this work recently. There is no expansion, one hit the street, and there is no health code word, because the remuneration of a change is really small ==.
But it can't be helped, non-full-time author, there are other things.
