Chapter 358: Difficulties at Work
Zheng Xudong wants to use the new batteries produced by this technology company in his own industry first, including two ranches and a ranch in preparation, Ivanka interjected: "Adong, your following industries can be given priority to supply these batteries, but they must be purchased at the high-end price." Otherwise, these industries will be messed up in the future, and they are all independently accounted for anyway. ”
When Zheng Xudong heard Ivanka's words, he knew that people had talked about the idea of business management, and he said to Vivian: "Do what President Ivanka said." Then he took a puff on his cigar and continued, "How big is this new battery?"
"The civilian version is larger than the ordinary cigarette box, and the industrial version is equivalent to the size of three cigarette packs. Vivien said.
When Ivanka heard this, she said again: "Make the product bigger, make it the size of a car battery." ”
When Vivian heard this, she asked, "President, are you planning to leave room for future product upgrades?"
"Yes, to make batteries of different shapes, you can even ask Disney and Marvel for their animated characters and heroes to authorize, and make the batteries into the shape of animated characters to open up the market for different classes and different age groups. Ivanka said with her eyes closed, smoking a cigar.
The more Zheng Xudong listened, the more he admired, and regardless of Vivian and Selena, he kissed Ivanka directly on the face, "Honey, you are still amazing!"
Ivanka smiled and said, "This time it's not a joke, I'm a graduate of Wharton Business School." ”
"How is it possible! Wasn't it just a joke!" Zheng Xudong said with some embarrassment.
Ivanka continued: "Honey, are you sure that your glass secret recipe for radiation protection will not be leaked? I think this technology is even more powerful than your battery, and now that countries around the world are threatened by nuclear power leaks, are you sure that this technology will not be cracked by them?"
Zheng Xudong knew that Ivanka's worries were justified, but he still had confidence in the technology of the Gamma Galaxy, so he said: "Honey, don't worry, I believe they won't be able to crack it in fifty years." The reason why he is so confident is that this is what Gamma Intelligent Life, which was still Xiaoqiang at the time, told him.
After listening to his words, Ivanka stopped talking.
Vivien said, "Boss, this is what I do now, do you have any instructions for the next step?"
"Vivien, you've done a very good job, I'm satisfied, keep up the good work!"
Ivanka said at this time: "Honey, there is a big problem here. ”
"What's the problem?"
"Now some people have noticed our battery products, which will cause an industrial revolution, will smash many people's jobs, we have moved those people's cakes, some people are making a fuss about this, they have found me, want to invest in our company, otherwise we may not let our products be listed in the United States." Ivanka said.
"This is really a problem!" Zheng Xudong took a few puffs of the cigar in his mouth, closed his eyes and thought about countermeasures, for a while there was only the sound of rippling water in the pool, and after thinking for a while, Zheng Xudong said: "My dear, I will not lose the absolute controlling stake in this company, this is my bottom line, at least the shares of the two of us together must reach absolute control." The second is that they want to value our company if they want to buy shares, if it is high, they are unwilling, but if it is low, I will not agree, this can be discussed with them. In the end, I think they will definitely use our products to crack the technology before this, and when they can't overcome the technology, they will use the means, first talk about the shares, and then the shares will not be able to limit the sales of our products in the United States. That's the routine, isn't it?"
"It's a pity you're not in business, my dear!" Ivanka said next to him.
"Our products are first launched in the United States with a high profile, and then they ban them after they get used to it, which will definitely cause a public backlash, and then we will develop south, to Mexico, Cuba and other South American countries to promote the product to market. ”
"Why not promote our products to Canada to the north?" asked Vivien.
Zheng Xudong smiled, "As far as I know, there are only two countries in the world that dare to say that they are not short of electricity, one is Canada, and the other is Russia. When our products are banned from sale by the United States, we will dump them in Mexico at a low price, we will sell a battery for eight cents, and then let the Mexicans help us smuggle our batteries to the United States, and make the same money as the Americans, which will also cause strong dissatisfaction among the American people. My dear, then your dad will be able to mess with the U.S. Senate. Ha... After speaking, Zheng Xudong laughed strangely.
The three women in the hot springs all looked at him with that kind of strange gaze at this time, and Ivanka said: "No wonder you can write a novel like 'House of Cards', you are simply too bad, I think my father will like you." Adong, my father reads your "House of Cards" novel every day and is full of praise for your work, saying that many people on Capitol Hill are reading it. You are already well-known in American politics. ”
"yes, how did you come up with this idea? It's just too bad!" Vivien said as well.
Zheng Xudong said with a smile: "Chinese civilization for 5,000 years, what are these schemes, nothing more than encircling Wei to save Zhao, repairing the plank road in the Ming Dynasty, and secretly crossing Chen Cang. ”
After hearing this, Ivanka said: "This book is available in English in the United States, many politicians are reading it, and I also have one on the bookshelf in my office. ”
"My dear, anyone who can read this book of The Art of War and apply it to life will not be bad in both political and business circles, and if you have time to let your father read it, I will say that I recommended it to him. ”
"Well, I would recommend it to him. Ivanka said.
"Vivien, you can take a look when you have time. There will definitely be something to be gained. Zheng Xudong also recommended this book "The Art of War" to Vivian.
"Boss, I'll watch. Vivien replied.
"Okay! Vivien's job is over, so Selena, do you have anything to report there?" asked Zheng Xudong.
Selena was already shocked when she listened to their conversation just now, what they talked about can be said to be incompatible with her previous life circle, what she came into contact with when she grew up was pasture, farm, how to make cattle and sheep grow bigger, produce more meat, and better meat quality, this is the problem she is worried about, as well as the prevention and control of various diseases of cattle and sheep, and how to resist drought and make pasture grow better... This is the circle of her life, but today she heard about the political battles and business rivalries involving the top level of the United States. This made him look at Zheng Xudong as a boss, and it was his father who asked her to come to Nevada to open a new ranch, and she thought his father was crazy, but his father told her that it was their new boss's request. She was not optimistic about the new boss, and when she received the assignment, she thought to herself, "This boss must be a madman who wants to open a ranch in Nevada!" It's impossible, like someone told you to grow vegetables on the moon. "But they have already given her a salary, and there is also the first start-up capital, which means that they are not joking, they are serious. That's why she left Montana, a fertile place.
Just now after hearing Vivian's work report and the opinions of the new boss at work, she realized that this boss is not only not stupid, but also very shrewd, even better than most people. She quickly threw away the idea of "the boss is crazy" in her mind, and then organized the language, and said: "Boss, after receiving your notice about opening up a new ranch, I flew to the land you bought in Nevada, and so far I still don't understand why you are so confident that you want to grow grass in that kind of gravel place, but since I accepted this job, I will do it seriously." My job now is to organize the engineering team to fence off the land you bought, using the material of three meters of cement piles, these cement piles are buried one meter into the ground, exposed two meters high, and then connected with barbed wire, the amount of work is much larger than I imagined, now that the project is halfway through, the two million dollars you allocated in advance have been spent, even if you don't come to me this time, I will go to you. The second job I did here was recruitment, recruiting cowboys who were willing to work on the ranch, but when they heard our job ads, they thought we were making fun of them, so the recruitment process is not going well. At present, only a few workers are being recruited, and a cowshed and a house for future cowboys are being built. The third job is to contact the cattle farm, buying cattle is a big payment, you have to be ready for the money. Also, the work didn't go well, for the same reason as when I had just recruited cowboys, and the owners of the big cattle farms looked at me like a madman, and they didn't want to believe that I was serious, thinking I was playing tricks on them. So that's how the work is going. Hope you're not kidding me!"
Zheng Xudong also felt that he thought about the difficulty of this work, he knew that his technology could grow grass in the gravel, but the person who worked for him didn't know, and this matter was not made public, so you can imagine how difficult Selena's work is, so he said: "Selena, you have worked hard during this time, and it is really difficult for you to work under such harsh natural conditions, I will give you a bonus at the end of the year." Since I asked you to report to work, I didn't plan to hide this from you. In fact, I have mastered a technology that allows pastures to grow in places with harsh natural environments, such as Nevada, so I bought a large piece of land there, and as for why this technology is not disclosed, that is, I still want to buy more land in other places, if it is made public now, it will cause the price of land to rise, and it will increase the cost of land purchase. You understand that, right?"
Selena heard Zheng Xudong's words and said, "Boss, I understand what you said, but it's still hard for me to believe it before I see the results of this technology." ”
