Chapter 60: Happiness Comes So Fast (Part II)
Being able to go to the United States to see the big cow, the real legendary man, Li Jiaming, who has never been abroad in his life, is very excited, but before he is happy for a minute, he makes Lao Zhang's ice water cold to the heart.
"Do you have a passport?"
"Do it"
"It's easy to say!"
In 97 years, it normally took 15 working days to apply for a passport, and if you had an invitation letter from the other party, you had to go to the embassy for an interview first, and then wait for 5 working days, even if this process was smooth, it would take at least 20-25 days. 20 days, I'm afraid the daylilies are cold!
Damn, my God\/Chao people, alas.
The disappointed Li Jiaming took the 'little brother' he had just recognized to rehearse with Lao Zhang for two days, deducing all the possible situations he could think of one by one, and then Lao Zhang, who held the great, glorious, and valuable green card of the United States of America, took a plane and left. As for him, a great hero, he had to live the hard life that Lao Zhang had before.
I went to school during the day, concocted articles to complete my work tasks before 12 o'clock in the evening, and gave advice to Lao Zhang on the phone after 12 o'clock on the other side of the ocean. As for sleeping, it can only be a stitch, it would be good to take a nap, and even sexual happiness can only drag Zhao Wei to the empty rooftop and solve it under the starry sky and dark night. Fortunately, she is an actor and is not as conservative as ordinary girls, otherwise she would have to be scolded to death.
Bitter, Li Jiaming thought of the stage when people were young, enthusiastic and ambitious, and they liked to be adventurous and aggressive; But I didn't expect that in the United States, it was also Hades who was easy to see and difficult to deal with.
Yang Zhiyuan was very interested in Lao Zhang's plan to bring him over, but the people under him were more difficult than the other. Rao is Lao Zhang has been tortured by people waiting for the company for more than half a year, and he has been prepared for all kinds of problems, but he is still tossed by the professional managers who negotiate and play all day long.
I can't see Lao Zhang's embarrassment, but Li Jiaming can imagine the kind of grievance that is not as strong as others, but both of them can hold on and not let go. Today's company is also a small achievement, no longer when Lao Zhang went to the United States to ask for investment everywhere, and he can fight for one more point at the negotiation table, which means a green knife!
The two of them lived a hard life, and the rest of the company was happy, and unlike the previous negotiations on financing, this time they took the initiative to send an invitation letter. If this can be negotiated, won't the company be worth $80 million? How much is a 20% stake worth? Mom, doesn't that mean everyone is a millionaire anymore?
People, you can't hang yourself from a tree, and a gentleman must be good at hypocrisy. Some of the contents of the negotiations between the two sides were deliberately spread by Li Jiaming, whether true or false, and spread to the entire Zhongguancun and to the ears of President Qin of Lenovo.
"Zhenyun, o are talking about financing?"
Lao Gu, who occasionally had a little wine with Sun Weigang, really heard some half-truths and half-truths from his junior's mouth, and hurriedly whispered: "I didn't talk about it, Li Jiaming's kid was ruthless, and he bit the valuation of 80 million to death, and the other party only agreed with 40 million." I heard that Zhang Zhaoyang had a fight with him on the phone last night because of this. ”
That kid is ruthless enough, he didn't agree to the valuation of 40 million, where did he get so much confidence?
Of course, he was confident, and he didn't look at who was behind that kid, he kept staring at Li Jiaming and their old Gu, and explained in a low voice: "That kid just found a businessman, and borrowed 12 million to come back, and the Huarong Group in Guangdong Province issued him a credit guarantee of 20 million, and their company is not short of money for the time being."
Mr. Qin, Huarong Group squeezed out Samsung and Kyocera in the first half of the year, and grabbed the one with the Founder MLCC capacitor list, and they are negotiating with our group. ”
It turned out to be Huarong Electronics, Mr. Qin, who was good at calculation, stretched his brows and asked: "Isn't he a rural child, how did he get involved with the people of Guangdong Province?" ”
"Luck, Huarong Electronics started as a drug maker in Jiangxi Province, and Wu Dong was an old acquaintance with him and treated him as a nephew."
After being silent for a long time, Mr. Yang, who was sitting behind the wide desk, suddenly said: "Zhenyun, go talk to them again, our group invested in the equipment and promised them a valuation of 40 million US dollars." ”
What the? I didn't agree to 15 million before, but now I take the initiative to rise to 40 million? Lao Gu was stunned for a few seconds, and hurriedly whispered: "Mr. Yang, has there been a result?" ”
"Be quick!"
"Yes", the branch boss in charge of thousands of employees hurriedly trotted all the way, and when he came to Li Jiaming's company in the company's distributed Daben, he was already looking like he had come to visit a friend, lying on the lattice and reaching out to knock Sun Weigang's greasy head.
"Gangzi, where's the fox?"
After knocking it, he said disgustingly: "Damn, you haven't washed your hair for a few days?" ”
Yes? Sun Weigang, who hadn't closed his eyes for two days and two nights, raised his head, looked at Lao Gu blankly, and said after a while: "Lao Zhang? yes, where did he go? ”
"Ask you!"
"Oh, I don't know."
Bai asked! As soon as you look at this rabbit eye, you know that if you pile for him, you will send it to your mouth.
"Mr. Gu, you drink tea".
Lao Gu looked back and saw that Sun Yun, who used to be bright and moving in his company, was dressed appropriately and her appearance was neat, but the whole person was scary and haggard, and she couldn't cover the dark circles under her eyes with a thick foundation, so she couldn't help but be startled.
"Little Sun, you haven't closed your eyes for a few days?"
"It's okay to be able to lie on the table for a while. Mr. Gu, do you have something? ”
"Oh, is Zhaoyang here? I'll talk to him about something. ”
Although the capable Sun Yun is tired, his brain is not confused, and the boss of such a big person does not call first but comes over in person, there must be something important to discuss.
"Zhang Dong went to the United States, and now the company is run by Li Dong. He's meeting two important guests, why don't you wait a minute? ”
The smiling old Gu looked around at the busyness in the office, almost everyone was unkempt, and couldn't help but think of the situation when he first joined Lenovo, but he said casually without care: "It's okay, I'll go directly to him, it's not something unseemly." ”
This? Sun Yun wanted to stop but didn't dare under the prestige of others, so she had to rush to report first, but Lao Gu didn't give her a chance at all, and pushed the door open without waiting for her to knock on the door a few times.
Hey?
The inside was outrageously neat, Li Jiaming looked gentle and elegant in a decent white half-sleeved shirt, light-colored trousers, and light-colored leather shoes, and was drinking tea with an elegant middle-aged man and a young man. The puzzled old Gu couldn't help but look back at the busy big office, and the group of code farmers who were no different from Hanako, this is also too much different, right?
"Uncle Wu, this is Gu Zhenyun, the boss of Lenovo (Beiping), a master of mechanical and electrical engineering from MIT, and the brand is quite bluffing, but it is actually a bad thing. Lao Gu, this is my Uncle Wu and Brother Dong, hurry up and come over to meet the elders. ”
Oh, this kid's behind-the-scenes financier, Lao Gu hurriedly went over to shake hands with someone, handed over the business card, and said informally: "Uncle Wu, we have been guessing all along, what is the bankruptcy of this kid, but I didn't expect you, the God of Wealth, to be behind him." Your Huarong Electronics' MLCC capacitors are so powerful that even Kyocera can kill them! ”
Lenovo's top management is here? Uncle Wu, who was negotiating with Lenovo Group, shook hands and handed each other business cards, got up and said goodbye: "Jiaming, I still have to leave in advance, and I will go to Adona to have dinner together in the evening." ”
"Hey, I'll send you."
"Alright, it's important to greet guests."
Uncle Wu, who was already half a head shorter than Li Jiaming, patted him on the shoulder and said with relief: "Jiaming, work hard, come to me if you have any difficulties!" In your generation, you are a little bit like your family morality and family morality, don't live up to the expectations of our older generations, understand? ”
"Yes", Li Jiaming, who is usually strong, bowed slightly to be taught, and saw that the old Gu next to him was overjoyed. Huarong's MLCC capacitors are of good quality, lower than the price of Samsung and Kyocera, and the group can always put some pressure on this kid when they give them a list, right?
Sending Uncle Wu and Chen Dong out of the office, Li Jiaming turned around and closed the door, motioned for Sun Ru to change coffee to him, and joked: "Old Gu, do me a favor?" ”
"One sentence thing, support domestic products!"
"What do you know?"
"Isn't it Huarong Electronics' MLCC? Okay, I'll do this, and I'll tell our purchasing department when I get back. ”
No wonder Uncle Wu patted himself on the shoulder before leaving, Li Jiaming said with a smile: "Then thank you, hey, our advertising contract, can we renegotiate?" You see, at the beginning, our click-through rate was only 500,000 a day, and now it is 30 million, so we can't pay back the previous price, right? ”
The annual list of hundreds of millions of dollars has been agreed, and Lao Gu is not short of this little money, and said happily: "Okay, we will come at IBM's price, but you also have to do me a favor." Our Wanquan 2200 is average, can you help us sell it again? ”
"Bullshit, what does it mean to sell averagely, that's called unsalable! I'm not talking about you, except for the cheaper, it's just useless! Last time, if it wasn't for a lack of money, the ghosts would buy your things. ”
How can it be so easy to catch up with your opponents? Lao Gu said bitterly: "Do me a favor, I have more than 20 units in the warehouse, and I am so worried that I can't eat, so it's cheaper for you?" ”
IBM's servers are really easy to use, but Kyle's old thing is too fine, not to mention the expensive ones, and they have to use their genuine software, if Lao Gu can ship them at cost price again, this matter can be discussed. Uncle Wu, who heard the news from the eldest sister, came over on a special trip and promised to help him guarantee a loan of 20 million, so he could go to Shanghai to make a small scene first, and as soon as the funds from the United States arrived, he would immediately set up a branch to grab netizens.
Gamble, either lose or win!
"Let's talk about it first, I don't have that much cash, and I have to keep the money in my account to open a branch."
Finally got into the trap, Lao Gu was overjoyed, but he said bitterly: "Brother, you also have to understand me, a hundred credits are not as good as fifty." The price can be considered low, but the arrears are really not. ”
Hmph, what can't be sold is garbage, Li Jiaming smiled secretly: "Then there is no way, just a little money, Lao Zhang is rubbing again." Otherwise, let's talk about it after Lao Zhang gets the money back? ”
When the fox came back, the daylily was cold, and Lao Gu was embarrassed: "Brother, we have to rely on sales performance to get a salary." Otherwise, I will have 28 Taiwan Wanquan, and you will take 20% of the shares in exchange, and let me have an explanation for the above? ”
"You think beautifully! In the past, Lao Tzu offered 40 million US dollars, and now the price is still reduced to you? ”
"That's not what you say, with this batch of equipment, you can immediately open a branch office and throw your opponent a few streets away. This will also help you in your negotiations! ”
It makes sense, but the server is too profitable, Li Jiaming, who knows the inside story, pondered for a moment and bargained: "You give me sixty units, and I will give you 10%." ”
"Are you crazy? Is your broken company still worth 900 million? ”
Lose your marbles? In the past, Lao Tzu begged this grandson, he could dry Lao Tzu for nine days, and now he actually took the initiative to talk about exchanging equipment for shares? Li Jiaming looked at Lao Gu playfully for a while, and suddenly became enlightened, and hurriedly stepped forward to manipulate the phone on the desk.
"Chaocheng Chaocheng, you immediately go to the State Planning Commission to find Cheng Jianlin, I suspect that the 7 billion plan of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications has been loosened!"
After making this call, Li Jiaming woke up Lao Zhang, who was sleeping on the other side of the ocean: "Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, I'm Jiaming, are you sober now?"
Ok, you listened carefully, there may be progress in the affairs of the national backbone network. I've asked Chaocheng to keep the news. You have to find a way to delay the morning meeting and wait for news from my side. If the news is true, immediately offer 200 million, and the bottom line will be raised to 150 million! If they don't agree, go to Microsoft or Microsoft immediately. ”
"Don't worry, as long as the news is true, I have a way to make a profit in a short time!"
"Yes, we will be the first Internet company in the world to achieve profitability, and this is our biggest weight!"
After hanging up the phone, Li Jiaming, whose fingers spasmed slightly, became calm again, and said jokingly: "Old Gu, don't play tricks, the Son of Heaven is well-informed, and we will be a few hours late at most if you can find out."
Give you a chance, 100 Wanquan % shares! If you haven't cooperated with us before, talk about cooperation in the future, don't talk about financing. ”
This kid is crazy! Although the cost of 100 Wanquan 2200 is less than 90 million, the market price is 210 million!
But Li Jiaming is not afraid that Lenovo will not compromise, they will not compromise, those Wanquan 2200 that can't be sold will become garbage within a year and a half at the latest, he doesn't believe that Mr. Qin, who can take the lead in the price war, can't figure out these truths.
"Lao Gu, do you still remember Lao Zhang's promise, it still counts! As long as we have the strength to set up a branch, you can choose the place. ”
Is this a buy-in? But Lao Gu, who had no decision-making power, didn't dare to refuse, took out his black Ericsson with wooden strips, and went to the emergency passage outside the big office to make a call. And Li Jiaming stared nervously at the phone on the table, waiting for Zhong Chaocheng's news, although he was eighty percent sure, but before he heard the exact news, he didn't have the confidence to let Lao Zhang suddenly raise his valuation by two and a half times.
