Chapter 524: Set up another big pit
Baker's arrival was much faster than Lin Fan imagined, and Lin Fan later learned that it was a private plane that crossed the Pacific Ocean and arrived at the capital airport.
However, this can also see Baker's eagerness, but Lin Fan feels that Baker does not seem to be such an eager person, his city, his wisdom, is enough for him to cover up any weaknesses, let alone eagerness?
Therefore, Lin Fan did not immediately talk to Baker about business, but went around Yanjing City with great interest.
"Lin, it is only in your capital of China that it is possible to develop such a large-scale overpass, which is a miracle in the history of world architecture. ”
"We have a saying in Huaxia: If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be successful. I think it makes a lot of sense, and if you get stuck, a different angle is undoubtedly a good choice. ”
Beck didn't answer Lin Fan's words, but joked, "It seems that we will invite philosophers from Huaxia to give us a class in the future, but I'm more curious about your company now, let's go and have a look." ”
The end of this trip around Yanjing, since Baker wants to see the company, then go and see, Lin Fan is not afraid of what Baker will do on his own turf.
When Lin Fan and Baker appeared in Mortal Technology, many people were surprised, who was able to let Lin Fan accompany him personally? But when they saw that they were foreigners, everyone suddenly lost interest, who didn't know them.
Lin Fan introduced Baker with great interest, "Now there are 80,000 employees working for Mortal Technology, but there are only more than 8,000 people in this building. ”
Baker couldn't help frowning, "As far as I know, Mortal Technology is an Internet company, how can it use so many employees?" You must know that Ali, which is second only to mortals in Huaxia, only has 40,000 employees, and Microsoft has nearly 100,000 employees.
"When I first founded Mortal, I just left Baidu, and at that time there were 10,000 engineers in Baidu, and I only had a few dozen. The huge gap in talent reserves made me secretly swear in my heart that I must increase the talent scale of mortals and make mortals a holy place for engineers. In fact, I did, and today there are fifty thousand engineers working for mortals, all of whom belong to different secondary departments. Why do mortals have strong scientific research capabilities? Why do mortals have rapid product upgrading? It is because of this huge talent pool that supports it. ”
Baker also had a smile on his face, "Lin, congratulations on achieving your goal. ”
During the visit of the two of them, Baker's heart became more and more shocked. He was very glad that he came to Huaxia in person and came to Lin Fan's company to have a look. Only when you see it with your own eyes will you understand how shocking it must be. He saw that everyone was working seriously, and the clerks were busy delivering information, but everyone had a smile on their faces, which was a strong sense of identity with the company.
In fact, this is also the corporate culture that Lin Fan emphasized, which treats the enterprise as a big family. In the previous life, Ali and Tencent were both well-known enterprises in Huaxia, but from time to time it was revealed that Ali engineers resigned and did not do jobs with lower salaries, and said that Ali's office building was not extinguished before 10 o'clock in the evening, and even on weekends.
In fact, this is a common problem of Internet companies, not to squeeze employees, but to catch up with enterprises, business surge, heavy workload is normal. Lin Fan often ensures the workload for the next day and week through strict work schedules, which will keep employees from having to work overtime. But this also means that in the office process, you must devote yourself wholeheartedly, which is a lot of physical and mental consumption, and Lin Fan will make up for and stimulate employees through good welfare measures.
However, these were not the most shocking things for Baker, he saw the heated discussions among the engineers in the R&D room, he saw the salesmen skillfully handling orders, and he also saw the expatriates walking here....... Maybe they're all underestimating the potential of mortal technology, or maybe it's a mega-corporation that's bigger than ever.
In the office, the two sat down, Han Yue skillfully poured tea for the two, and then retreated.
"Lin, I felt a lot of emotion when I visited your company today, do you know what my biggest regret is now?"
"Oh?"
"I regret not investing in your business. ”
Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders, "This is the best compliment for me." ”
"Okay, let's get down to business, how can you be sure that Greece will sell state-owned enterprises?"
Lin Fan smiled slightly, of course he knew, but Greece will only take out the privatization process in May next year, in order to repay the debt, in order to get assistance from the European Union and the Monetary Fund. But five months later, Greece abandoned privatization because it was a loss for their own interests.
Subsequently, the European Union and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) coordinated Greece's inability to repay its debts to its private creditors was reduced to 50 percent of its debts. This means that Greece has saved half of its debts for nothing, but the creditors have to pinch their noses and admit that it is not bad to get half of it than not to get a penny.
And this is the second big pit that Lin Fan prepared for Morgan, if Morgan also participates in the acquisition of debt, then grasp the time difference, and Morgan will plant a big heel.
"Greece has been unable to save itself, the current unemployment rate in Greece has been as high as 27 percent, because Greece's domestic primary and secondary industries are underdeveloped, so Greece's other pillar industry, the shipping industry, is also on the verge of crisis due to the blow of the economic crisis, tourism has also shrunk, Greece can only survive the national bankruptcy crisis by obtaining foreign help.
Unlike Dubai, there is only one Abu Dhabi willing to help, and it is a small 10 billion dollars. Greece has the whole EU area behind it, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, these powerful countries are willing to help Greece. But it is not so easy to get help from the EU area, and Greece must do a good job of saving face. For example, the austerity bill that was passed not long ago. ”
Baker couldn't help but bow, "You mean, in order to make this face more like, Greece will even sell a batch of state-owned assets to gain the trust of the EU area." ”
"Yes, Greece will only be able to gain the trust of the EU if it demonstrates its determination to reform. But one more thing to consider is that Greece will never sell too much state assets, even if it is to gain trust and get aid, and they will even resell state assets to related bureaucrats. ”
Baker couldn't help but nodded, Lin Fan thought about the problem very carefully, "Then what do you think the scale of their assets will be?"
"At least 30 billion euros, no more than 100 billion. ”
Baker nodded again, which was about the same as he had estimated. All state-owned assets sold to private individuals will never be sold according to the market value, but will lower part of the price, so that even 30 billion yuan is a very objective asset.
"Lin, are you going to make a move this time?"
"No, I'm not going to make a move. I have too little money on my hands, and I'm interested in buying a food company in the near future. ”
Baker wanted to ask if if you didn't make a move, would the Earth Group make a move, but he still suppressed this desire. "Lin, you're a good friend. ”
"Thank you. ”
