Chapter Ninety-Five: A Fire in the Backyard and a Chip Emergency!
Early the next morning, Xia Yu felt that his throat was extremely dry, and he hurriedly poured a small half bottle of mineral water.
When he couldn't sleep last night, he thought of a few more ways, but he didn't have the heart to try his luck in No. 4 Middle School again.
A stranger from Nanyue suddenly came to the school by name to find him, and with Xia Yu's understanding of Zhang Xiao, he would definitely be thought to be a psychopath, and he might even sue the teacher and parents.
Putting this matter behind me for the time being, I went downstairs to have breakfast at the hotel, texted the three of them separately, and went to his room at ten o'clock for a small meeting.
This is a standard business suite with a separate work area separate from the bedroom, so it's not small. By the time the three of them arrived one after another, Xia Yu had already done a good job in the division of tasks for the next step.
Liu Na made tea for everyone, muttering and complaining: "This ghost climate in Yanjing, why do you do it like this in winter, I have to go back to maintain it for a few days every time I come over." ”
Xiao Wenjing pointed at Xia Yu and said with a smile: "Boss, you should reimburse us for the money for moisturizing cream and repair water!"
"Huh, that's it!"
Seeing him looking over, Liu Na immediately echoed: "That's it, of course, of course! Well, today I'm going to buy Estee Lauder's moisturizers to ......."
Of course, Xia Yu knew that this was a joke, and spread his hands to show that he didn't care about his own business, and asked Sun Bin, "How is it, where did you go for a walk last night?
Sun Bin directly smiled bitterly and said: "Where, she took me to Houhai for a spin, originally said that it was a good piece to eat Donglai Shun hot pot, but guess what, people originally had boyfriends." A call was called back!"
Several people laughed at him for a while, and Xia Yu brought the laptop over. Start assigning specific tasks to everyone.
This science and technology industry information summit is a very important year-end conference in the industry.
Look at the agenda arrangement given by the organizing committee. On the morning of the first day, the main forum was attended by two vice ministers in charge of innovation and industry from the Ministry of Science and Technology, more than seven academician-level guests from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and many industry leaders came to support the forum.
Xia Yu has taken a closer look, in addition to Li Yanhong, Li Kaifu, Zhang Chaoyang and other domestic bigwigs who will still be beautiful in the next ten years, Intel, Microsoft, Oracle, HP, Motorola, Nokia and other international giants in China presidents are also here, which can be deservedly called an industry event.
However, these are not very attractive to Xia Yu. Before his rebirth, he was mixed in the investment circle, and the idea of chasing stars and getting rich was long gone, but some names that had not yet emerged at this time entered his field of vision.
He had already written it down silently. Be prepared for the opportunity to actively "hook up" and try it.
"Sun Bin, in fact, tomorrow's summit has nothing to do with you, I will give you two tasks. The first is the daily point investigation, Yanjing will make our products an important town in the future, you have to communicate with Xu Feirong well, and also try to look at others, understand?"
At present, Polaris K1 and K2 are ranked first in Shanghai and second in Yangcheng. The third is Yanjing, which has the most population. Unlike Yang Shuo's strong support in Shanghai, Xu Feirong, Yanjing's only retail partner, although he has five stores, is not active in terms of publicity and cooperation, and the diamond level has just been added.
Later, Polestar moved into high-end models. The Yanjing market is even more important. If it is suitable, Xia Yu has the intention to change the family, of course, it depends on the specific situation.
"Hmm. I know how to do it, I don't believe that no one will grab Polaris's direct sales rights in Yanjing!"
"There's no need to rush it. You're in control. Another thing is a big thing, BBESound, the company's general agent in China, should be in Yanjing. But I'm not sure, you can find a way to help me find this out. You don't have to come to the door, just come back and tell me. ”
This thing is not too difficult, Sun Bin patted his chest: "Okay, I promise to complete the task!"
The things handed over to Liu Na are easier, mainly because he has to follow Xia Yu to do some administrative work, and he also has to write press releases.
First, it is related to his speech, and second, if it can be awarded, it will be sent out as soon as possible. He had already written out the content of the speech, and she could prepare in advance.
"Boss, what about me?" Xiao Wenjing likes to call Boss Xia Yu recently, with a lazy tone.
"It's not like it's okay, hurry up and contact the recent venture capital gathering or something, and I'll give you these two people, you can also come to contact first. ”
"OK, I'll leave it to this girl!"
Bluestar Venture Capital has just been established, but the time is pressing, and Xia Yu has been interested in several startups in Yanjing before, and he plans to take the initiative to contact them one by one. Yang Bo of Douban and Li Xiang of Autohome are two key figures, both of which belong to the kind that did not require much money in the early days, but the prospects are not small, and he plans to let Xiao Wenjing contact them first.
When this side is almost over, he plans to stay in Yanjing for two more days and try his luck elsewhere.
Anyway, if you don't achieve more than two of the three goals, this trip to Yanjing will be a failure.
For Xia Yu, being in such a hurry to start Bluestar Venture Capital is not only related to his pre-rebirth complex, but also because, like the entrepreneurial tide, next year will also be a critical period for the reshuffle of the VC investment market.
He clearly remembers that in 2005, there were not a few people in the Huaguo venture capital circle who completed a new round of fund raising, and the upsurge of first-class foreign VCs entering China was officially set off, and the competition in the entire VC market began to intensify, and the internal integration of capital and talents in the industry began to deepen, and several major factions were gradually formed.
Therefore, before the middle of next year, it becomes very important to finalize a few good entrepreneurial projects first, anyway, you can find these rich guys to take over!
Perhaps, there is a little idea of showing off in front of Xiao Wenjing?
He didn't admit it anyway.
……
The summit lasted for 13 days, and the first day was the main forum, which was attended by most of the most important guests. Among them, there were four keynote speeches in the morning and a high-end forum in the afternoon, and there were many cross-border dialogue sessions, and the overall arrangement was very rich.
Xia Yu also planned to listen carefully, and it was still necessary to see what the big bulls were thinking at this time.
Polestar certainly didn't have enough weight, and the one he was invited to attend was the "Digital Music and the New Era of MP3" forum. The main thing is the MP3 field, and the time is in the morning of the next day. In addition to Patriot, Lenovo and other domestic big names on the process list. There are also representatives of several international companies such as Samsung, iRiver, and Innovation, and there are more than a dozen in total. Polestar is one of the youngest.
The dinner that night was only small-scale, and the big guys didn't show up, or there was a VIP banquet. But there are more than 20 tables in this hall, and the scene is staggered, and the atmosphere is lively after three rounds of drinking, and there are a lot of business cards to go back and forth.
And Xia Yu found that his reputation was not small, and many people recognized him and could accurately call his name.
You know, this hall is more than just MP3 manufacturers' gatherings!
However, there are a lot of people who sincerely congratulate and make friends, and there are also those who are extremely emotional.
I found out when I inquired. It turned out to be the latest feature report of Sales & Marketing magazine, which comprehensively and deeply interpreted the achievements of Polestar Electronics in the past six months since its establishment, and attributed it to the innovation of business models and typical cases of breakthroughs in marketing models.
Among them, a photo of Xia Yu being interviewed was put on the entire version, and the overly young face was naturally conspicuous!
This magazine is a semi-monthly magazine, and it has just been sent out, so Xia Yu didn't know about it before.
Not long after, Tan Hao, a vice chairman of the summit organizing committee and editor-in-chief of "Electronic Business Intelligence", found Xia Yu with a wine glass. Straight to the point, he said: "This is the young and promising Polestar Mr. Xia!"
Xia Yu also knows Tan Hao, a very senior media person in China, and the general person in charge of the six sub-forums on the second day of the summit. Hurriedly stood up and held the teacup and said, "Editor-in-chief Tan is polite." Just call me Xia Yu. I'm sorry I can't drink yet, so I'll toast you with tea instead of wine!"
Tan Hao is very easy-going, and he drained half a glass of red wine in one gulp. Leaned over and whispered, "There are rumors that Mr. Xia is not yet an adult and is in high school?"
"Ugh. Yes, but there are still three months to become an adult. "There's nothing to hide.
These words really made Tan Hao sigh. sighed a few times in a row, and the hero came out of the boy.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes next to him sneered, and said sharply: "It turned out to be a child, no wonder this company is making a lot of noise!"
Xia Yu was stunned when he said this, he didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing on this occasion, and just about to open his mouth to ask, Tan Hao took it with a haha: "What Mr. Zhang said is a bit excessive, why are you also a junior in the same industry, you can bring a little more in the future!" and pulled Xia Yu to prevent him from talking.
The middle-aged man snorted, and seeing that Xia Yu was not excited, he turned around and walked away boringly.
"Who is this person?How did I offend him?" Being targeted so headlessly, Xia Yu was of course unhappy in his heart, and he didn't have a seizure just now for Editor-in-Chief Tan.
"His name is Zhang Xuedao, the new president of Cowon China, you know this company, right? The new article mentions that you are preparing to enter the high-end market, I guess it has something to do with this. He should be under a lot of pressure not long after he took office, but he is an old man in the circle, so you don't need to clash with him face-to-face. ”
It turned out to be iAudio, the Chinese name is Aioudi, and it is also the top three MP3 manufacturers in South Korea, and it is easy to see Samsung and iRiver making money in the Chinese market This year they rushed to break into the company. It was introduced the first BBE sound MP3 in China, and it is time to go on the market soon.
No wonder!
Xia Yu really didn't bother to bother with him, these high-spirited guys, wait, Polestar's next fight is you!
Thinking of this, Xia Yu couldn't wait to get the authorization of BBE.
After thanking Tan Hao, he was about to find a clean place to stay for a while, and as soon as he walked out of the hall, he received a call from Liu Mingsheng.
"Hey, Mingsheng?"
"Mr. Xia, something is wrong! Just check the inventory here and suddenly find that the original Philips decoding chip has not been on the goods for a week, and the existing little is only enough for tomorrow!"
"What?
Xia Yu was completely stunned when he heard it!(To be continued......)
