Chapter 3 Ambition

It's mid-November.

After Enron Media got on the right track, there was only one thing Gu Bei had been thinking about, SARS.

As a reborn person, Gu Beiche experienced the madness of those days, cold, universal, nationwide outbreak, rapid infection, and incurable keywords put together, how wide does this scope of application be?

Of course, there are also countless examples of medical heroes who can sing and cry, Deng Lianxian, Wei Baozhou, Xie Wanwen, etc., who died in the line of duty in the fight against SARS, as a media person in his previous life, Gu Bei has a deep memory of this group of people, in addition, he is more impressed by the ignorance of the Chinese people at that time. After the news of the school closure came out, the panicked Chinese people wantonly rushed to grab supplies, which really confirmed the bad street joke: grab vinegar when SARS, grab salt when nuclear radiation, just TM never considered the feelings of soy sauce!

In Gu Bei's impression, probably in May and June next year, with the shortage of disinfectants and related drugs for the prevention and treatment of "SARS" in some places, there are more and more various medical advertisements under the banner of "prevention and control of SARS", and a variety of anti-"SARS" drugs, prescriptions, and appliances have been released, and even some health care products that have never been mentioned as having antiviral and anti-"SARS" effects are also hyped in advertisements to "enhance immunity". Not only did pharmaceutical profiteers compete for the "SARS brand," but the prices of vegetables, food, and daily necessities also soared in a short period of time, with vinegar selling for hundreds of yuan or even thousands of yuan; mugwort incense rising from 2 yuan to 18 yuan per pack; and 84 disinfectant rising to 20 yuan......

Price gouging, hoarding!

Now Gu Bei has 1,000 tons of vinegar on hand, which he bought for four million, with the current market price of vinegar and the price paid for transporting it from Xinghuazhai, people all over the world may scold him for being stupid and going to his grandmother's house, but limited to what he said in Enron Media, no one dares to raise objections to this matter.

Gu Bei never likes to explain, anyway, it is estimated that in another half a year, the development of the situation will surprise their eyes. At that time, the 1,000 tons of vinegar will be realized at dozens of times the price, and if you don't make money, you are a bastard, and Gu Bei doesn't want to say anything hypocritical, if you don't send this national disaster, others will send it. Anyway, I was short of money, and I was able to predict the future trend, so I happened to encounter such an opportunity, and then I made some money.

Now the 1,000 tons of vinegar have been transported back to Qingchuan from Xinghuazhai, Gu Bei is not in a hurry for the time being, the real peak period of SARS is April and May next year, and it is still very early, and Enron Media is currently operating normally, Gu Bei focuses on the situation of Shen Cheng and Li Zhaoxiang in Zhejiang Province.

Li Zhaoxiang is a person with brains who knows how to be flexible, after rushing to Suzhou, he didn't do anything, he ran to the house of the director of the Suzhou Housing Authority every day, never brought large bags and small bags, and the mahjong table in the sauna and wine bureau was not missing, and once Xu Xinru, the financial director of Enron Media, took a large stack of lists mailed by Li Zhaoxiang to Gu Bei to report the account, and calculated almost 500,000 yuan.

Without saying a word, Gu Bei directly signed the word.

Half a month later, Li Zhaoxiang won the elevator advertising business of 700 office buildings and high-end hotels in Suzhou. It was won at a price 20% lower than the annual rent of the standard office elevator set by Enron Media.

This incident made Gu Bei quite impressed.

Shen Cheng is a little tenderer, and his head is also very iron, and Lin Haicheng, who was demoted from the director of the administrative department to the market commissioner, went to Jiaxing together, and took dozens of salesmen to go out early and return late to run the market with the LCD screen on his back.

In fact, at present, Gu Bei's Focus Media concept has become well-known in China, after all, this is an original and innovative media model in the world, and it is unrealistic for Gu Bei to want to develop in a low-key manner. This is the reason why Gu Bei frantically seized the market regardless of the cost.

Although Jiaxing is not a small city, it is not comparable with Qingchuan, only Enron Media is here to develop the market, so Shencheng is very popular with property companies, after all, they can also have a lot of income when they install a high-end building network, this kind of mutually beneficial thing The property company will not refuse, and most of the contradictions are in the annual rent.

To be honest, Enron Media really has no money, although the advertising revenue in November has exceeded 60 million, but it is far from catching up with the huge investment of Enron Media to develop the market, the company's total debt exceeds 150 million, and the debt owed by the purchase of Xinhui Optoelectronics' LCD screen is the majority, which has exceeded 100 million, in order to save expenses, when Zhang Xuebin was also the director of the marketing department, the annual rent sub-region was set relatively low, which also caused a lot of problems to Shencheng to open up the market.

Of course, Gu Bei didn't have the heart to participate in this matter.

He was already partial enough to favor this kid, and tried every means to make a big fuss to demote Lin Haicheng, the director of the administrative department, to the commissioner of the marketing department, and accompany him to the Jiaxing market, which is currently the most important place in Gubei. Gu Bei heard the company's employees chew their tongues more than once or twice, saying that the group of managers in the marketing department are fighting for their heads and bleeding, what is the meaning? What can you endure and use? Comparable to the identity of Shen Chenghuang's relatives and relatives? Everyone should not fight, the director of the marketing department is none other than Shen Cheng.

Gu Bei just wanted to laugh when he heard these gossips, who the director of the marketing department was is still unknown, and now he gave Jiaxing to Shen Cheng, as long as the result is that Shen Cheng must win at least 800 office buildings before December 30th!

Now, Gu Bei has more headaches, no money.

Although a long-term purchase agreement has been reached with Xinhui Optoelectronics, promising to owe part of the payment, at the beginning Enron Media owed two or three hundred million, as the stall became bigger and bigger, and the relationship with Xinhui Optoelectronics was getting better and better, and the payment owed was more and more, and now it has exceeded 100 million, Enron Media must settle 40% within this month, otherwise the other party will not give the goods, you must know that thousands of office buildings in Jiaxing and Suzhou markets have not yet been hung up.

This is the reason why he has always had an ambiguous attitude towards the ambitious Lu Minghao.

Lu Minghao is the eldest son of Lu Chen, the head of Luding Group, and has been eyeing Enron Media, and has been showing Gu Bei the intention of acquiring Enron Media's shares recently. No, yesterday when Gu Bei and Nuo Nuo went for a ride in Qingpu Donglin Alley, they also met Lu Minghao, and they met for dinner tonight.

In the afternoon, Gu Bei was busy with business, and planned to go to the appointment and talk to Lu Minghao openly and honestly.

At about six o'clock after work, Gu Bei walked out of the office and happened to meet Zhang Hanyi who came out of the office of the deputy general manager of Enron Media.

"Mr. Zhang is good. Gu Bei smiled and beckoned.

Zhang Han also looked left and right at no one, and gave Gu Bei a big look.
