Chapter Seventy-Seven: I'll Take the Benefits
Hierarchy and rules are everywhere, it's not good, but it's really not good without it, but sometimes it's really hard to accept.
For example, on the set, the treatment of the main creative staff, Taiwanese cast and crew, and mainland staff is very different, and even the boxed lunches they eat are different. Su Youpeng and Li Jiaming are good friends, and they have a very good relationship with Zhao Wei, and they want to gain a firm foothold in the entertainment circle in the mainland, but when it comes to eating, they will still consciously go to his camp to get a boxed lunch with chicken legs and seafood, and then share it with mainland friends.
Li Jiaming doesn't like this kind of discriminatory treatment very much, but he also actively maintains it, and the set of more than 100 people is chaotic without hierarchy and rules. When he has time, he comes to visit the class, and since he is one of the investors, the crew will give him the same treatment as the Taiwanese cast and crew. But he also exchanged his boxed lunch with Zhao Wei, and he would never accept the sycophants of Taiwanese drama management to take an extra good meal, let alone bring a better meal to the set, but today he offered to take an extra good meal and gave the drama manager ten yuan.
"Dong Li, isn't this okay?"
It's good, in a few years, there will be no actors queuing up to get food, it will be the assistant of the star to deliver the meal, and the extras and staff will squat to eat a boxed lunch.
"There's nothing bad about it, rules are rules. ”
"Thank you Chairman Li for your understanding."
The drama manager of the decent meal hurriedly gave him two boxes of good meals, but what the cast and crew who had just lined up to get the meal did not expect was that when Li Jiaming left with two box lunches, he actually gave a box of good meals in his hand to Fan Bingbin, who had just had a dirty relationship with his girlfriend.
"Reward you!"
Sixteen-year-old girl has scheming, how many 7 can she have? Fan Bingbin, who was wearing heavy makeup on her face, was stunned, and only after a while did she smile and thank, "Thank you." ”
I don't understand your profession, but take the initiative to fight for opportunities, and it's the same in every profession. ”
This time I was sincerely grateful, and this beautiful little girl hurriedly smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Brother Jiaming."
Seeing that his boyfriend went to show goodwill to his opponent who was deliberately angry with him, Zhao Wei, who had just been coaxed to be happy, finally wanted to make a splash, but Li Jiaming turned around and gave another box lunch to Su Youpeng, turned around and walked outside the set.
"Brother, domestic violence should not be publicized, I escaped first."
Su Youpeng, who was also wearing heavy makeup and fake braids, came back to his senses and immediately gave the lunch box to the person next to him and chased after him.
"Hurry up and block him slightly, the husband doesn't teach his wife!"
One is a weak scholar, the other is a tomboy at best, and the one who can escape is an animal that runs 5,000 meters every morning. By the time Su Youpeng and Zhao Wei chased out of the yard one after the other, Li Jiaming had run one hundred and eighty meters away in the morning.
Li Jiaming, who was tall and tall, fled like crazy, ran halfway and saw that no one was chasing, so he turned around and walked backwards proudly, and Zhao Wei, who saw the chase, was so angry that he stomped his feet, but he couldn't cry or laugh.
This is the ability, picking up a girl is not only to coax, but also to make her angry, just like there must be conflict in a play. What's more, Li Jiaming has no intention of controlling her life, this child may have been frightened by himself that night, and now he is almost obedient to himself. That's not good, he doesn't want this girl to leave him and be like a meteor.
Back at the eldest sister's house, the brother-in-law, the eldest sister, and the brother-in-law finished eating, leaving the third sister and playing by themselves, and the three went to the company to hold a board meeting.
With Yahoo's $50 million financing and Lenovo's $12.5 million, SOHU has entered the fast lane of development, and has become a large enterprise with two branches, more than 500 employees, and more than 500 million yuan in fixed assets. Now from top to bottom, they want to build Zhongguancun into the 'Silicon Valley of China', SOHU as an enterprise with unlimited prospects, and is the most successful and only Internet company in China, of course, the government must give policy and land support.
For the government, the most beneficial and cost-effective is to give a batch of Beijing household registration indicators. There are not many of them, only twenty-one, and it just so happens that their seven directors and the first batch of entrepreneurial veterans who are not registered in the capital can become great citizens of the capital. This is a Beijing hukou, with this thing is a person from Beiping, you can enjoy all kinds of treatment in the capital of the first good, and it is much easier to find a partner. Even a new multimillionaire like Zhong Chaocheng, whose pregnant girlfriend is still working for a foreign-funded company, needs this thing.
Li Jiaming himself doesn't need it, and his sister only needs one hukou to transfer the hukou of the two sons according to the children's hukou and her mother's policy, plus Chen Dong is Japanese nationality, Lao Zhang and Sun Weigang are US green cards, so there are four more. Li Jiaming, who usually advertises fairness, didn't tell everyone about fairness this time, and directly asked for the extra five indicators.
I occupy the positions of three directors, what's wrong with getting a few more places? Not to mention that Xigou and Gui Mei will take the college entrance examination the year after tomorrow, even if they don't take the college entrance examination, there are still Xiaomei, Manmei, and Jin Mei! Sohu is not the boss himself, whether it is fair or not is a matter for Lao Zhang to consider, and it is a matter of himself who is destined to retreat into the background!
This is easy to say, not to mention that the first batch of entrepreneurial veterans have a share, the second batch can wait for the next batch of places, even those employees who joined the company after successful financing have nothing to say, the concept of hierarchy is everywhere, what happened to the vice chairman and the two directors asking for a few more indicators? Besides, Li Jiaming's second and third rounds of financing suffered a lot of losses, and it was bigger than the first time, and the fourth financing was forcibly pulled. These things that have suffered a big loss, the group of people who followed them to start a business have all known it in their hearts, and those who joined later have also heard of it.
But Li Jiaming and his three sisters and brothers appeared in the company, and the guys who had just transferred their household registration or were ready to give the indicators to their girlfriends to facilitate their future children to become Beijing people still coaxed, even if he was terrifying at night. Everyone has worked together for more than a year, and they have already figured out his temper, as long as they don't step on the bottom line of this hero, it's no problem to make trouble.
"Dong Li, I heard that you are going to engage in real estate, can we get the internal price for buying a house?"
"yes, a 50% discount?"
"That's it, you're so rich, do you care about this little money?"
Now the identity of foreign businessmen is so good, Kyle's foreign devil opened his mouth to ask for 20 acres of land, and the municipal government immediately divided 30 acres in the suburban Haidian district, and only asked IBM for 6 million land transfer money, which really made Li Jiaming admire the beauty of this era. The floor price of the Diwang Building in Shencheng is more than 8,000, but the land price of the capital is only 200,000 acres, don't look at the current Haidian District even has no subway, backward like the urban-rural junction, come and see it in six or seven years? At that time, I am afraid that an acre of land will be sold for 6 million, and everyone will rush to ask for it!
"Don't call, the company has submitted an application to the government for land use, and when the time comes, there will be an office building in front and an apartment in the back, and you won't have to squeeze the bus!"
"Can you get a piece of land in Chaoyang District, Zhongguancun is too desolate here. ”
Not desolation, but clutter. In order to solve the traffic congestion situation in the city leading to the university district and Zhongguancun Science and Technology City, the city government cut down the large trees that are decades old on the side of the road to widen the road, causing chaos everywhere. In addition, hawkers are everywhere, traders are soliciting customers everywhere, and people who go to electronic stores to build machines are like carp crossing the river, and the entire Zhongguancun can't think about chaos.
We are the subversives of traditional media, and if our company people start to wear suits and leather shoes, it means that our company has begun to lose its vitality and begin to decline!"
Li Jiaming's words won the applause of these code farmers, but it made Zhang Zhaoyang and Sun Wei, who were at the door of the new conference room, frown. How can you tell the employees about things that have not yet been voted on? The company is not in the grass-roots period, and it has to start to pay attention to the image, how can it encourage employees to be sloppy and casual?
However, neither of them refuted Li Jiaming, but instead asked the three of them to go to a meeting.
The previous topics were all matters related to the establishment of a branch in Shanghai, which were approved in advance, even though Frank, the director on behalf of Yahoo, did not agree to purchase IBM software, did not agree to purchase Lenovo's office equipment, and did not agree to have the servers hosted by Telecom...... , nor can it overturn what has been agreed in private. Deng Hao and his wife, like the previous two meetings, only raised their hands and did not speak, and they forcibly joined the board of directors, just to make the reputation of the directors of SOHU so that they could go to the land to build a house.
After everyone voted on the company's affairs, the five directors in the conference room were still relaxed, only Frank frowned, and Li Jiaming, who was reading the industry briefing, also began to frown. Everyone is optimistic about the company's future, and Li Jiaming is also optimistic, as long as this momentum is maintained, there will be no problem at all in going public in the United States next year. The large number of small portals on the statistical table are irrelevant, but the return to do BBS is impressive; in the BBS column, Li Jiaming finally saw another name he didn't want to see-NetEase BBS。
There are so many heroes in the world, but the current advantage of SOHU is too great, I don't know if they will rise like in the previous life? I don't know if they will become dry bones under the throne of Lao Zhang in this life.
"Jiaming, what do you want?"
"Huh?"
Li Jiaming, who was in a reverie, came back to his senses and covered up: "It's nothing, I'm thinking about hyping up "Huanzhu Gege". Su Youpeng has a lot of fans and fans, if we do it well, our click-through rate can increase a lot. ”
Seeing that this kid didn't care about the company's affairs, the satisfied Lao Zhang knocked on the table and quipped: "Hey, you are the director of the company, not your girlfriend's agent!"
Lao Tzu wants to take care of things more, will you bastard listen to it? It's still so good, you take care of things, I take the benefits, and everyone has nothing to do.
"Cut, with you and Frank, I still need to worry about it? You hurry up and build branches in Shanghai and Shenzhen, and go public as soon as possible, and I will burn incense for you!"
It's good to have grievances, but it's terrible to have no grievances, Lao Zhang, who knows what it means to burn incense, took the initiative to talk about the company's land. The current land price is not high, and the house price is even lower, so there is no need to carry this kid for more than 30 acres of corporate office land.
"Frank Ming's proposal for their real estate company to build our office building and exchange our land for their two-story office building, what do you think?"
Other people here may not see the potential of mainland real estate, but how can they not see it if they are top students in business schools?
"No, I'm against it. Huaguo's real estate industry will be a sunrise industry, and we should build our own office buildings!"
How much does it cost to build a self-built area of more than 30 acres of land? Now the company's first priority is to expand, crush the opponent in the shortest possible time, and the two-story office building is at least a few thousand square meters of usable area, which is enough before the company goes public!
"I disagree, I think IBM's tradition is a perfect fit for us, our company's most valuable asset is people, not houses!"
Sun Weigang took the initiative to help, and Chen Dong, Li Jiaming's natural ally, immediately followed, "I agree with Wei Gang's opinion, although our company has Yahoo cash and Lenovo hardware, but that is far from enough! Just by looking at the flow of people in the electronics market, we can foresee that an immeasurable Internet boom will be triggered within one to two years." Real estate may be a sunrise industry, but the Internet is our main business!"
"No! We can make additional investment, you should believe in our strength!"
This can poke Lao Zhang's sore spot, his current shares can't control this company, how can he agree to financing, and it is to raise money from Yahoo? Instead of letting Yahoo be the largest shareholder, and not letting this kid be, this kid's interest has shifted to the real estate and entertainment industry, and he will no longer seek control.
"Mr. Deng, do you have a problem with your funds?"
Hehe, after a few rounds of dilution, among these seven people, there are only four people who are really qualified to sit here, who can't look at my Xiao Li's face? Deng Hao, who had been silent, saw his wife and brother nod, and then replied: "It's raining, and the funds of my friends in Guangdong Province alone are enough to toss up the IBM land." When the time comes, we will rent it over there first, and then we will move here when the building is finished. ”
"Let's vote!"
76.25%: 23.75%, the advantages and disadvantages are too obvious, and the foreign devil helplessly spread his hands to Li Jiaming to show that he is not the right person. Li Jiaming also gave a thumbs up to others, and different voices are needed in the board of directors to make Lao Zhang have a sense of crisis at all times.
"Approved, the company invested 2 million US dollars to hold 1% of SOHU Real Estate, do you have any opinions?"
Frank didn't object this time, and he estimated that there are many such things in the United States, as long as it does not harm the interests of the company, and it is better if it is beneficial to the company.
After the meeting was dismissed, Li Jiaming threw his Porsche key to Sun Weigang, wanting to drive his old Toyota Corolla to pick up people, but Frank, who had just objected to all affairs, hurriedly stopped him and invited: "Ming, do you intend to study at the great Stanford?"
Li Jiaming's eyes saw Lao Zhang's strange expression, and hurriedly said: "Frank, I have to think about this matter, the company is a critical moment." ”
Frank, who was in a straight suit, shrugged his shoulders and made a phone gesture as if he didn't care, "Okay, call me if you need help." Next month we are going to set up a Yahoo branch, and it is very convenient for you to find me. ”
