Chapter 372: Duan Yongping's Three Hands
There is no shortage of wild history gossip in the world, because as long as people's curiosity exists, these will not disappear. And each person is subjective, they may be proud of their intellectual logic by feeling or they may be proud of their intellectual logic, they think that things should be like this, and then there is one secret story after another.
Later generations had different opinions about Duan Yongping's experience, some people condemned him for moving to the United States, and some people said that he was the real richest man in China. But it is undeniable that the BBK Group was divided into three, and Shen Wei was in charge of the BBK communication business, and later established VIVO mobile phones in 2009. Chen Mingyong is in charge of the audio-visual business, and in 2004 he founded OPPO, and then OnePlus. Huang Yihe is responsible for the educational electronics business, and launched the Little Genius brand in 2011. This method was enough to demonstrate Duan Yongping's courage, and although Duan Yongping still held shares in the three companies, he gradually retreated into the background.
This is exactly the person Lin Fan is looking for when he returns to China, although OPPO and VIVO have not been listed in the future, but mobile phone sales once squeezed into the top ten or even top five in the world, Xiaomi was valued at $45 billion in 14 years, so it is more than enough for OPPO and VIVO to break 10 billion US dollars.
And now that VIVO phones have not yet appeared, and OPPO has not started to make smartphones, this is a great opportunity. Lin Fan hopes that by persuading Duan Yongping to let himself take a stake in these two companies, he will complete his layout in smart terminals. Control platform providers are important for the future Internet era, and now Lin Fan has signed a contract with Lenovo ASUS to require the installation of mortal security and mortal browsers and mortal input methods, but this is not a long-term solution.
It is obviously impossible to invest in Lenovo, Liu Chuanzhi is deeply loved by the country, and Liu Chuanzhi himself does not control many shares, even if he invests in shares, he cannot get the right to be speechless, ASUS as a Taiwanese-funded company, Lin Fan does not have much to do with it. He can only focus on the future domestic smartphone manufacturers.
Investing in several companies, or setting up a company in the future, to develop smartphones and laptops, this is Lin Fan's wishful thinking. However, Lin Fan still has a hole card, that is, Lei Jun, who is still working in the mortal mall, the future Xiaomi can kill Samsung's fierce man, and the Xiaomi ecological chain is very good, smart phones, smart homes, and laptops are involved, which is enough for Lin Fan to control some resources.
However, Lin Fan couldn't figure out Lei Jun's temperament, in his previous life, Lei Jun held more than 70% of Xiaomi's shares, Lin Fan was not sure what advantage he could take in Lei Jun's hands, and it was better to persuade Duan Yongping for now.
Ma Yun was very quiet on the side, looking at Lin Fan who was thinking from time to time, and a touch of worry flashed in his eyes from time to time. He played the role of an introducer in this dinner, he had met Duan Yongping in the early years, and this time it was in his name that Duan Yongping came out, but he also had something in his heart.
"Mr. Ma, long time no see. A middle-aged man pushed open the door, and when he noticed the presence of Lin Fan in the room, he couldn't help but be surprised, "Who is this?"
"Mr. Duan, let me introduce you, Mr. Lin Fan of the Mortal Group. ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Duan Yongping's heart, Lin Fan's name had been heard many times even in the United States, after all, Lin Fan's two acquisitions were out of the limelight, and Wall Street was a long report.
"It turned out to be Mr. Lin, who has only heard his name and not seen him, but today I saw a young man. ”
"Mr. Duan's level of praise is really not bad. Lin Fan snorted, "Mr. Duan, please do it, I asked Mr. Ma to make an appointment with you and want to have a good chat with you." ”
"Gladly. ”
After a while, the wine and food on the table were all on the table, and when they came to Hangzhou, the West Lake vinegar fish naturally could not be tasted.
"I had a really good time chatting with Mr. Duan today, and I really regret that I didn't meet Mr. Duan earlier. ”
Duan Yongping grinned, at this time he was already a little drunk, after all, he was almost fifty, "It's okay, if Mr. Lin is willing, you can come to me to chat at any time." ”
Lin Fan laughed, "Mr. Duan is magnificent, I can't hide it, I always have something to ask Lin for." ”
"Oh?" Duan Yongping said in a questioning tone, but in fact, he had already woken up after drinking, and today's topic was finally here.
Lin Fan is still not in a hurry, "I chatted with Apple's Steve Jobs a few days ago, and for a while I felt that the mobile phone industry was promising. But this interlacing is like a mountain, and I have a lot of money, but it is not blown by a strong wind. I thought about finding a company to take shares, and I thought of backgammon, backgammon has been very loud in domestic advertising in recent years, if you switch from traditional mobile phone manufacturers to smart phone production, I think there is a lot to be done. ”
Duan Yongping was shocked, he didn't expect Lin Fan to say this, in fact, he has heard the power of Apple's mobile phone in the United States, and he also has the idea of making smart phones, and this time he came back to propose transformation at the board of directors, once BBK successfully transforms with its existing fame enough to dominate China, how can Duan Yongping give away the fat for nothing with Lin Fan's three or two sentences?
"Don't hide it from Mr. Lin, I have more than enough heart but not enough strength. Now that the BBK mobile phone has been separated from the BBK Group, I can't be the master of the house, and if Mr. Lin wants to buy shares, I'm afraid it will have to go through Shen Wei's consent. Naturally, I am willing to help Mr. Lin say good things, but I am afraid that it will have little effect. ”
Lin Fan seemed to be very surprised, "I always thought that Mr. Duan had separated the BBK Group at the beginning, and he had always been the largest shareholder of the three companies?"
Duan Yongping's expression remained unchanged, "These three people are all old people who have been with me for many years, when I had the idea of taking a back seat, I distributed the company's business according to their preferences, they are first-line practical work, I only need to pick up money in the back, and I simply divided a large part of the shares in my hand." ”
Lin Fan looked regretful, "Mr. Duan is really benevolent and righteous, I salute Mr. Duan." ”
Duan Yongping looked like he recalled the past, "At the beginning, we fought hard with one sword and one sword, and it was right to give them so much....."
"Blame me for mentioning Mr. Duan's sadness, let's only drink and not talk about work. ”
.......
This meal was very enjoyable, and the three of them talked about their own experiences, some of them were bookish and had grievances, but more of them were proud of the present day. Lin Fan and Ma Yun watched Duan Yongping get into the car, and for a while both of them were a little cold from the night wind, and the smell of alcohol suddenly dissipated a lot.
"Do you really believe what he says?" Ma Yun tightened his trench coat.
Lin Fan was calm at night, "Do you guess that Duan Yongping is sitting in the car at this time, is he triumphant? How can a person who laughs at me, who has no hair, become the richest man, isn't he fooled by three or two sentences?"
"I don't know if he's proud, anyway, I heard the richest man swearing. ”
"Old Ma, can't the richest man swear?" Lin Fan pinched his waist.
Ma Yun shrunk his neck, "You have money, you have the final say." ”
