Chapter 560 - Door-to-door BE Company
Chen Ziyi decisively vetoed the hateful Frenchman's lion's mouth in Leiden Park, but he still has to face another Frenchman.
In fact, the person sitting in their company is Liang Shengjun, but it is no different from Chen Zier.
As for the Frenchman to be faced, his name is Jean-Louis Gassy.
He was the head of Apple's Macintosh project, then got out with $1.7 million and started a company called BE in 1991.
In the beginning, the BE company made both hardware and software, a bit like the Next company founded by Steve Jobs after leaving Apple, and the fate of the two companies was also difficult to brother.
The word be has a meaning in English, and people in Silicon Valley ridicule that BE does not exist, but it cannot be denied that BEOS has been valued by professionals in terms of software, otherwise Apple would not consider acquiring it.
BE went public in July last year, and it is conceivable that so far, the stock price has been a roller coaster, from a few dollars to $39, and now at the end of 2000, it is probably less than $3 a share.
Intel invested millions of dollars in him in '99, and now, it is estimated that it has thrown the company Be in the trash.
It's not that people subjectively judge him to be bad,
In fact, he is very bad now, although beos in multimedia production, editing, playback and other aspects of the performance is good, but that is technical, commercial rotten is not good, think about the market share of the indos system, how many hardware manufacturers dare to disobey Microsoft to turn to be?
"Sir, this way, please. "A French girl invited Liang Shengjun to the front of her, with her right hand on her abdomen, a very standard appearance.
Liang Shengjun raised his eyes and saw that he was a little drowsy, but he was awake instantly...... It's so ugly.
Garcy was a very fashionable man, wearing studs and leather clothes, but now he can only work as artificial leather, and the situation does not allow him to leather.
He was a little surprised by the arrival of an Asian.
"Koreans, Japanese?" Kashi guessed as he shook his hand.
Liang Shengjun was unhurried, raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said in fluent English: "Neither, Chinese." ”
"Oh, I'm sorry, please be seated. ”
Although Garcy has some of the arrogance of a bad boy, Liang Shengjun is completely unaffected, he has been in Silicon Valley for many years, and now as the general manager of Shengshi Consumer Electronics Company, a subsidiary of Shengshi Group, he has a much more promising career than these miscellaneous hairs.
So he said unhurriedly, "I think, sir, you must know why I'm here,"
There had been contact before, and this wasn't the first time they knew of each other's existence.
"Of course," Garcy smacked his mouth, "but I didn't expect you to come alone, and we...... Aren't you talking about acquisitions?"
Liang Shengjun is not easy to say what is in his heart, and it is not a big acquisition, how many people do you need?
And the appearance of the be company now is nothing more than whether you are greedy or not, if you are greedy, you will be entangled for a while, and if you are not greedy, you can simply order it, and everyone is comfortable.
There is a fact that they both understand: this company can no longer be sustained by relying on the original few so-called leaders.
That's why it was acquired in 2001 for $11 million, and the payment was not in cash, but in stock exchange.
Of course, Liang Shengjun is not aware of this, but it prevents him from being confident.
"Uh......" Liang Shengjun explained politely, "Of course I'm not the only one, I also brought a lawyer, and if we go well, he will work for me at any time." ”
Garcy wasn't an easily deceived kid either, he pouted and smiled but couldn't do anything, "So when did you start noticing BE? must have been thinking about it for a long time, didn't you?"
As he spoke, Liang Shengjun took out a document from his bag, which was the company's acquisition plan.
He didn't answer Garcy's question, and the more time passed, the stronger the desire became, and the preparations were sufficient, although he had not invested financial resources, but he had invested a lot of manpower, and this person had the problem of a lion's mouth, so he simply chose not to answer.
"The stock price has plummeted, the revenue is weak, Microsoft is suppressed, and the system itself is still flawed, and the NASDAQ is almost certain to fall below 2,000 points, so financing is almost impossible...... "Liang Shengjun just said it casually, and Garcy's psychological defense line will be destroyed, "I don't mean to be offended, but that's the case, Mr. Garcy, make an offer?"
It's so straightforward......
Let Louis Garcy lift his legs, "The company you call Shengshi Group, does it have so much money?"
"Enough to satisfy you. ”
"You know that BEOS is very good, and unlike companies that develop it casually, we have an installed base. ”
"Yes, a pitiful installed capacity. ”
"But you still want it," said Garcy. ”
Liang Shengjun was more patient and said, "It's just because we dare to take risks and want to try a little." ”
Garcy is a bit of a bohemian person, and the reason why he seems to be a little obedient now is really something that can't be helped.
But Liang Shengjun's immovable appearance made him unconvinced, there is a sentence that cannot be spoken, and the Chinese can also engage in software?
Is there a computer in that place?
"Ok, if you don't say why you crave beos, I don't think I can sell bebe because I don't want to watch it be sold and die in a corner where no one knows. ”
Liang Shengjun hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, "I think it's better for us to save a little time, and it feels very uncomfortable not to pay the salary, isn't it?"
Garcy's face changed slightly, "What do you mean?"
"You know, Garcy, people say that French is the most romantic language in the world, and I agree with that, but language is meant to communicate, and this is the United States, and your compatriot employee is not even fluent in English, don't you tell me that you hired her to give her a job?"
The young lady just now spoke very lamely, and although most French people could not speak English well, she was really bad.
Garcy was speechless for a moment.

……
In Hong Kong,
Early in the morning, Liu Chang put a copy of the information about the nature park in front of the boss's eyes.
Chen Zier didn't command, but she did,
Because the owner had been interested in buying it, but Lydon Park didn't know what was wrong, in fact, he needed a replacement.
Chen Zier was a little unexpected, "I gave you a holiday yesterday, did you use it to do this?"
Liu Chang, who was standing beside him, rarely smiled a little, "Because I also think that having a holiday park is a thing that I yearn for and look forward to." ”
"I won't stay there all year round after I bought it, and you can go whenever you want to take a break. Chen Zier quickly thought of this reward.
Then he thought about it more diffusely, in fact, it can also be used as a benefit, and many employees want to go.
Thinking like this, I have one more reason in my heart to allow myself to squander.
was watching, Liang Shengjun's phone called.
