Being a person in advance is biased in today's society, but it is not unreasonable.

Li Jiaming attaches great importance to being a person, so there will always be someone to help along the way, whether people do it intentionally or easily, they all gave him great help at that time. For example, Gui Ming's brother-in-law, Director Min, is just the brother-in-law of a classmate, he didn't give a dime gift, he didn't invite others to dinner, and he went to rub other people's meals from time to time, but when Sohu started, people gave them the 168 website.

Now that Li Jiaming is out of business, he usually doesn't care about people in China, and when he returns to China and celebrates the New Year, these friends who have helped him before have to go around. The gifts mentioned are not expensive, they are some white fungus, shiitake mushrooms and the like produced by their own company, which also makes Min Ju, who is not short of money and alcohol, happy, and has to leave him at home to eat and drink.

Why does Mr. Liu have such deep connections? It is because he made many friends when he was young, and everyone helped each other to climb up, and when everyone got ahead, it was natural that he had deep connections in all aspects. This kind of friendship-based network is time-consuming, energy-consuming, and slow to take effect. But once established, it is far stronger than those interest-based connections.

Well, when you reach a certain level, you don't lack money, fame and fortune, but friends who can sit down and have a cup of tea, chat, and play chess.

Director Min and his friends also admire Li Jiaming very much, this kid was neither humble nor arrogant when he was a poor student, and he was still polite and thoughtful after getting ahead, which can be described as a real gentleman's demeanor. Such a child is worth dating for a lifetime, maybe he can't bring you huge benefits, but you don't need to ask when you are in trouble, he will definitely help. Even if everyone is old, such friends will come to you to sit, drink tea, play chess, and appreciate calligraphy and painting.

A good reputation has a good reputation, and Li Jiaming's reputation gradually spread in their circle along with Director Min's praise, and brought him a lot of new friends, such as the new head of Haidian District. Mayor Sima used to be the secretary of Minister Wu of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the deputy secretary-general of the General Office, and he was also a college classmate with Min Bureau.

This time Li Jiaming came to the house for dinner, Director Min specially called his old classmates to accompany him, and Gui Ming's sister even regarded this little brother as her own brother, pointing to her suitor twenty years ago and said: "Jiaming, do you know him now?

Don't dare, Li Jiaming raised his glass to toast the middle-aged official, and said with a smile: "It's better to call it Brother Sima, I salute Brother Sima with this cup, and I wish you every step of the way." ”

Although Li Jiaming was covered by Lao Zhang's light, District Mayor Sima, who has worked in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology for more than ten years, knew that this was the real dragon and phoenix among people, and it was rare that this child was more humane than Zhang Zhaoyang and their returnees, and Gui Ming's kid alone made the family a billionaire. Gui Ming's kid was raised by him, and he didn't think anything about it before, but suddenly he became the owner of an Internet café, suddenly opened a company again, and suddenly the company was valued at $500 million. The younger generation in the Sijiu City is the most promising and famous of him and the daughter of the old Sun family, but the reason is that there is not this little brother behind him?

"Jiaming, do it!"

"Dry".

The two had a drink, and Sister Gui next to her was very grateful to Li Jiaming for helping her brother, and when she saw that he drank two glasses and was on her face, she reminded: "Sima, Jiaming's wine is not good, stop after half a drink!"

Li Jiaming has a good wine but a bad amount of wine, known as 'three cups poured', and District Mayor Sima also heard from several IT industry bosses, and joked: "Mingzi, it's not that my brother won't drink with you, this is Lanzi's distressed wine." ”

The department-level cadres took the initiative to call themselves brothers, and this face had to be carried, Li Jiaming hurriedly said: "Hehe, let my brother smile." ”

The dry District Mayor Sima poured himself wine, drank another glass with Gui Lan, and praised: "Good thing, wine is character, and a good amount of wine does not mean that a good character is good." Hey, tell my brother, what's going on with your profit? The loss is so big, you don't rush to raise money, you just let it lose money?"

Don't talk about it, Li Jiaming is still not easy to speak, so he opened his mouth, so he patted his head, and hurriedly took out an iPod box from his backpack and handed it over.

"Brother, you don't need this thing, give it to your niece to play. ”

This imported thing is not expensive but not cheap, Lenovo computer store sells 1599 yuan a piece, the old classmate came to eat here Sima District Chief looked a little strange, Min Ju and his wife sipped wine hehe Zhile.

"You, as the head of the region, don't even know that there is a world-class large enterprise under your rule, which shows how bureaucratic you are. This is done by Jiaming Company, he said that he was afraid that the Americans would be preconceived and felt that this product was not up to grade, so he set up a branch in the United States and registered a brand, which is actually 100% domestic products. ”

What? And this?

"Hehe, there is no way, the American people look down on us, so they have to save the country and establish the brand first. Just through Lenovo's channel sales, I still owe Mr. Qin a favor, and I yelled for it to be repaid yesterday. ”

"Why didn't you report it?"

Of course, it can't be hyped up, and while the iPod has achieved market leadership, it is not yet in a precarious position. Only when the time is put in the last year, and when European and American consumers fully accept the brand, will Li Jiaming disclose the controlling party of HH Company, and will promote Hanhua Technology, so that the company that he regards as the foundation will come to the forefront.

"Brother, don't you know, I didn't go abroad before and felt that Haier was very competitive. When I really lived in the United States for a while, I realized that their products could only be sold in Walmart, and they couldn't even get into Best Sell. ”

After listening to a few words, District Chief Sima had some taste, this is an old classmate sending his political achievements.

In just three months, Hanhua Technology sold more than 500,000 iPods, and the sales volume exceeded 100 million US dollars. If HH Technology is officially incorporated into the Hanhua brand in the future, this product alone can earn more than one billion dollars of foreign exchange every year. The export of high-tech electronic products to earn foreign exchange, and it is its own brand, this is not only an economic benefit, but also a political symbolism.

"Jiaming, do you have any difficulties for the enterprise?"

The opportunity is rare, since he caught up, Li Jiaming also gave up letting Kyle negotiate with the government, and began to talk about the development of HH Electronics in the United States.

"Hehe, I'm talking, Yahoo insists on a valuation of $9.8 billion, and we insist on $16 billion. If we can successfully negotiate the authorization of Warner and Sony, it is estimated that it will be about 12 billion. ”

God, doesn't that mean that this guy replaced his brother-in-law as the richest man?

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will urge it. It is definitely not a good thing for one family to have so much wealth in hand. When the domestic legal system is not perfect, and the people have not yet adapted to the existence of tens of billions or hundreds of billions of billionaires, my brother-in-law has already put on the hat of the richest man, so I must not wear it myself.

"Sister Lan, you think too highly of me. Who would dare to independently develop a high-tech electronic product, with an expenditure of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars? If it fails, it will go bankrupt.

In order to develop iPod, we started to raise funds two years ago, and we also deliberately went to Shencheng and Guancheng to find friends to invest, and after the product came out, we had to go to the United States to build websites, do channels, and advertise, with a total investment of nearly 200 million US dollars!

You don't know, in the past two years, I have often lost sleep because of this. My elders and friends trusted me and invested so much money in me in case I failed. Hehe, I'm scared when I think about it now. ”

Two years ago, when SOHU wasn't on the market, and the 'e-era' Internet café wasn't built, this guy was really bold. $200 million, that's more than 1.7 billion RMB!

The three people who listened to Li Jiaming's boasting were afraid, they were not ordinary people, and they knew that valuation and market value were two different things. Yahoo financing is optimistic about their development prospects and believes that they will succeed in the future, not that Hanhua Technology really has so many assets.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot about it without mentioning it. Brother, with Yahoo's investment, Hanhua will expand its scale and develop a new product, and it is estimated that it will recruit thousands of engineers and programmers. We are now renting an office building in Sohu Real Estate, so isn't that a long-term solution, can the district give some preferential policies?"

This is not a private matter but a public matter, and District Chief Sima asked rhetorically: "How big is the scale of investment?"

Yahoo will definitely buy more than 10% of the shares, the record company will definitely buy some of it, and with the promise of Ms. Agnese's investment intentions, Li Jiaming estimates that there will be one or two billion dollars in cash. The United States can support its mess with the profits of the iPod, so it has to invest the money back home.

"It's not negotiated yet, and if Yahoo and Universal come in, the board of directors will be complicated, but I estimate that it will have to be at least a billion dollars. Our plan is to set up two R&D facilities in Silicon Valley and Zhongguancun, with the U.S. side doing software architecture and our side doing hardware R&D and programming. ”

Such a large investment made District Mayor Sima excited, and immediately said: "Is 100 acres enough?"

100 acres means affordable land, 300,000 acres of corporate land, but how can this be enough to fill Li Jiaming's appetite?

"Brother, it is estimated that it is far from enough. The research institute is not an office building, and it has to set up many laboratories, and it is impossible to build two skyscrapers of forty or fifty floors to meet the needs.

This is just a plan, and when we negotiate a financing plan with Yahoo, they will definitely send someone to our company to help us do the design plan. When the time comes, we'll talk about it in detail?"

With such a big political achievement, not to mention District Chief Sima, even Min Ju wants a piece of the pie. But Mayor Sima also knows that Li Jiaming is definitely a rational person who can make such a big career at such a young age, and he will never damage the interests of the company because of friendship.

In other words, when the project is settled, it depends on which conditions are more favorable, especially the land. There is a huge price difference between enterprise land and commercial land, and the other party does not want to take the opportunity to acquire land for commercial development? How did SOHU real estate develop? Isn't it only by relying on the influence of IBM and SOHU and the little girl of the Sun family that they have turned enterprise land into commercial land and started it in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen.

"Don't be later, you must have a draft. You give me a thorough idea, how much is needed, the development of Zhongguancun is too fast, I have to reserve a lot for you first. ”

Li Jiaming scratched his scalp in embarrassment, and said carefully: "When I discussed this matter with Yang Zhiyuan, he said that if those Americans are willing to come to China to work, in addition to the salary should not be lower than that of the United States, the working and living environment should not be bad. Therefore, in addition to office buildings and laboratories, we also have to develop a high-end community for employees to live and live in China.

Brother, if you follow American standards, it is estimated that it is thousands of acres of land. With the current land price in Zhongguancun, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the board of directors to decide to place the project in the district. ”

Thousands of acres, but also a beautiful environment, convenient transportation area, Chief Sima began to frown. The current land price in Zhongguancun is not two or three years ago, one acre of land can be sold for millions of dollars, and suddenly so much land is taken out to attract investment, and the city and district must not make any noise?

However, high-tech enterprises are different from those real estate companies, and commercial real estate development is a one-time income from land sales, and high-tech enterprises are a steady stream of tax sources! For example, the Lenovo Group, not to mention its headquarters in Zhongguancun, has taken more than 200 acres of land in the best area, and can pay more than 1 billion yuan in taxes to the city every year! The annual tax revenue alone can be worth the land price, and the government will not lose money even if the government gives away the land for nothing.

"Jiaming, you can't be in a hurry about this matter, after you settle down there, you will know me immediately. The district has to go to the city to ask for policies, and more than 1,000 acres of enterprise land, but the district does not have the authority to approve it. ”

Dig up a mountain of gold!

How many real estate can be built on more than 1,000 acres of land?

After Hanhua Technology soars into the sky, it will form a huge brand benefit, and there are many downstream supply enterprises, which is likely to form a small ecosystem, and I don't know how many commercial companies want to work next to it. In the future, just renting out office buildings may be able to maintain the normal operation of the research institute.

Li Jiaming, who was overjoyed, hurriedly said: "Okay, as soon as there is news over there, I will notify you immediately." ”
