Chapter 57 Data Centers

"Mr. Li, there is a Mr. Mike Kenson looking for you here, he said that he is the president of the American branch of Rio Tinto, will you let him go up?"

In the temporary residence building of Orange Technology USA Branch, Li Mubai was working when he suddenly received a call from the front desk. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

After thinking about it for a while, Li Mubai responded on the phone, "Let him come in, and let Jonathan, the director of the investment department of the branch, come in, I have something to look for him." ”

"Okay. With a smile on her face, the front desk hostess stood up, stretched out her hand and bowed, "Mr. Mike, our chairman, please go up and turn left to room A on the 26th floor, thank you." ”

As the most important part of Rio Tinto's global strategy, Mike Kenson is the center of everyone's touting everywhere he goes, but here at Orange Technology, he has met with a lot of cold reception, because Orange Technology does not want to get anything from Rio Tinto.

Even this emerging super group based on the high-tech field has a more profitable ability than Rio Tinto.

According to the disclosed information, Orange Technology has accumulated revenue of $8.23 billion in the five months since its establishment.

After all, the profit ratio of high-tech enterprises themselves is enough to make most people feel excited, and Rio Tinto, a basic industrial group involved in energy raw materials, has a wide range of operations, but most of its turnover is past investment.

For example, this investment spent more than $30 billion to acquire Alcoa Canada, and after putting aside the tax rebate, Rio Tinto will have to pay back this investment while ensuring that Alcoa's profits will not change this year.

"Chairman, are you looking for me?"

Jonathan is an authentic American, in his forties, who used to work in the investment management department of Goldman Sachs Industrial, and was poached by Li Mubai at the cost of a basic annual salary of $250,000 before taxes and dividends on investment income, and cooperated with the management of the original American branch to carry out the company's daily management affairs.

"I am very satisfied with your recent investment in two high-tech and electronic hardware companies, but next, I will increase the support of the company's investment management department, and our investment objects should be expanded, including electronic technology companies, new energy companies and biomedical companies that are currently showing leading technology in the market, which are our investment targets. Li Mubai closed the plan in his hand and said directly.

Anyone wants their work to be taken seriously, and seeing the big boss speak, Jonathan said happily, "That's great, BOSS, I can't wait to do a big job." However, we do not have the manpower to support the management and supervision work after the large-scale acquisition, which requires more professional personnel. ”

"Don't worry, I've entrusted this matter to the San Diego accounting firm, and they will send enough people to oversee the financial operations of the acquired company to ensure that our investment funds and goals will not deviate, but professional acquisition investment analysts are still in short supply, I can authorize you to expand your investment department more than tenfold in the coming period, but I have a request, if you can commit and do it, then I will be stingy with lovely dollars, how about it?"

For Li Mubai's generosity, the entire American branch is obvious to all, in the company's limited investment, earned a total of about 1.2 million US dollars in profits, Li Mubai took out 240,000 US dollars to share with every participating in the investment of the company's management and handling personnel, although the total number is not too much, but this attitude makes everyone excited.

Now as soon as he heard that Li Mubai was ready to increase investment in the investment department, Jonathan seemed to see the flying dollars, and he nodded excitedly, "Don't worry, even if it is any difficult task, I will definitely do my best to solve it." ”

"Very good! My request is very simple, I need you to establish an initial coverage of the United States in the next 12 months, I need to know clearly, how many new technologies are emerging in the United States every day, how many new technology companies are emerging, the specific industry classifications they are engaged in, and the capabilities of the company's executives, and I will set up a special information analysis department to screen and distinguish all the companies with investment value from the individual executives, and your ultimate task is to include these technology companies in our overall plan, including but not limited to acquisitions, investments。 Can you do it?" Li Mubai has always had great ambitions, and since he wants to be the No.1 in the smartphone era, he will naturally not let anyone threaten his position.

The world of capital is like this, the winner takes all, and the small fish and shrimp will only become the meal of the capital giant.

Jonathan was a little shocked by the plan itself, considering that every day there are tech companies in the United States that are building and about to go bankrupt, and the total number of these companies is not even counted, because it is changing all the time.

And the statistics have investment potential, and even analyze whether the other party will help the development of Orange Technology, this is a thing that even the U.S. Department of Commerce can't do, is the boss crazy, he is preparing to form a new FBI? This is ridiculous.

Jonathan rolled his eyes, maybe Westerners are so direct, he said with some annoyance, "Boss, I'm not an agent, and I can't train such a large number of agents to complete the task you assigned, it seems that I didn't have a chance with the cute dollar bill this time." ”

Li Mubai laughed and directly handed him a document in his hand, "Look at this, do you still think I'm joking?"

"Big data analytics center, oh my God, this is an invasion of citizens' privacy, and if we are discovered, we will be disqualified by the federal government. Jonathan was really a little scared, he didn't know why the boss would show him such an important inside document, but he knew that he couldn't turn back, because once this kind of big capitalist made a decision, he had no other way out than to obediently cooperate.

As he guessed, the reason why Li Mubai dared to hand over this document to Jonathan was because Li Mubai had been able to completely control his actions and even thoughts.

"Jonathan, your resume is actually not too good, do you know why I will hand over all the power of the company's investment department to you?" Li Mubai's attitude of not answering the rhetorical question made Jonathan a little puzzled for a while.

But fortunately, Li Mubai didn't let him wait too long, and the mystery was revealed, "Because your family is very happy, you have a virtuous and beautiful wife, in the twenty-three years of marriage, you have never had a violent quarrel with her, and you have never said the word divorce; and you and your wife have never cheated on either party during the marriage, which is particularly surprising to me, isn't your United States a country with a very open personality?"

"Uh. Jonathan was speechless for a while, he couldn't understand how his personal life made the boss choose him, was it because of his loyalty to love and family, so that the boss felt that he was a credible person?

Li Mubai seemed to see through his thoughts, and nodded directly, "Of course, your loyalty to family and love and family affection made me finally choose you among hundreds of competitors, because you love your wife, love your children, you are ambitious, but never blindly follow, you will achieve it step by step through your own efforts, instead of fantasizing about getting rich one day, I appreciate this mentality very much, so I decided to give you more and more rights, that is, to complete this plan, and I will give you 0.5% of the new company when the time comes." Dividends until the day you retire, how?!"

It seems that from the very beginning, Li Mubai never considered the day when Jonathan would quit, because as a qualified capitalist, Li Mubai's means of controlling employees are not only as simple as wages and future prospects, if he can, he can instantly break his own skin, and then control the present and life and death of employees, no one can resist his means.

Jonathan is not a little white rabbit, he has been in the workplace for more than 20 years, and he can even be regarded as an old fox, after all, a person who deals with investment every day, how can he be as simple as a blank sheet of paper.

Of course, he knows what the consequences of his refusal may be, and what reward he will get if he accepts, after weighing for a while, he said solemnly, "In fact, personal privacy is not so important, as long as the boss is happy, I will think about this document, but this investment, boss, do you think it will recover the cost?"

"If conditions permit, I will build 10 such big databases around the world in the future, each with an investment of more than 1 billion US dollars, and it will enter thousands of households through every model and every mobile phone we design, and with the penetration rate of our mobile phones, people all over the world will use it. Through the records left by mobile phone operations, we will analyze the personality, needs and current situation of each potential customer, and we can analyze each person's day and every stage of each company, including their future, which is the charm of data. "Li Mubai is not painting a big pie, but talking about a terrorist control that is about to be staged in the future.

Everyone is monitored invisibly, and in this chain of interests, the state is hidden behind the scenes, and entrepreneurs and capitalists are attached to the network, who provide corresponding services by screening everyone's needs, and earn the most profits at the least cost.

"It was so wonderful, I felt like I saw a mountain of gold, a mountain of gold that not too many people had discovered. Jonathan's breathing was a little short, but he quickly adjusted, because he knew that as long as he did his job well, sooner or later a small part of this gold mountain would belong to him, and relying on this, his family could live the life of the rich class, which ~ was enough!

"Boss, I have to say that your layout is too great, once it is completed, our company will become the terminal control of global information, but if there is nothing to do, I want to go down and read through this document first, and do a little preliminary preparation. ”

"No, I asked you to come over and have another thing, Mike Kenson, president of Rio Tinto America, is here, you go to receive him, find out some news first, but don't promise him anything, I need to discuss with some people again before I can give the final result, understand?" Li Mubai stopped Jonathan, who was about to leave, and gave him a task to deal with the guests.

He didn't even want to see Citigroup's Sandywell, let alone the head of the planned affiliate.

"Okay. Jonathan carefully put away the information before going out.

"Hey, is it Director Gong? I'm Li Mubai, how about it, have you discussed the results there, Rio Tinto and Citigroup have been looking for me to reach a cooperation for the past two days, how do I feel like I've been screwed onto the chopping board, and you guys are grinding knives and waiting to slaughter my fat sheep." Li Mubai took out the phone and called Gong Ziqian in the capital.

To be honest, if it weren't for Rio Tinto's sudden intervention, I'm afraid that Orange Technology would have reached a share replacement of Yuntong Company long ago, and there would be no need to hang it up or down like now, and Yuntong Company also had a lot of complaints about this, but thinking about the nature of Orange Technology, I could only shake my head helplessly to express sympathy, after all, as an American company, Yuntong must also be supervised by the US government.

Gong Ziqian coughed, seemed to be in a meeting, and waited for a while before saying, "Mr. Li, we are studying this matter, in principle, I hope you can compromise a little and try to reach an agreement with Rio Tinto Citi on this matter, after all, this cooperation is beneficial to our four parties." ”

Li Mubai sighed, "Okay, I'll give you this face, but Citi over there you help me refuse, my side and Yuntong Company have reached an agreement on financial services, since the country needs the raw material and mineral areas in the hands of Rio Tinto Group, then just talk to Rio Tinto directly? Citi's conditions are too excessive, it is completely a clear robbery, I will not compromise for the sake of this cooperation, and completely hand over the power of the US branch to Citi to control." ”

Gong Ziqian thought for a while, and didn't reply immediately, but he didn't explicitly object, just said vaguely, "Okay, I'll take a look at it again, tell it over there, try to summarize and study the requirements of both of you, and then give you a clear answer, how about it?"

"As soon as possible, I won't be in the United States for many days, and it will be almost enough to complete this cooperation with Rio Tinto. Li Mubai hung up the phone, looked at an invitation sent by Citigroup on the table, and smiled abruptly.
