Chapter 103 Current Situation of the Company
"Hi, Mr. Li, long time no see!" Liu Si pushed the door directly, and he regretted it as soon as he pushed the door, you must know that Li Haiping, who grew up in the United States, is very open, but fortunately he didn't see anything embarrassing, otherwise it would be really difficult to meet.

"The boss is back, why didn't he call us to pick us up?" Li Haiping looked up and saw Liu Si's figure, stood up and asked with a smile.
"If you have legs and feet, you won't bother the busy Mr. Li!"
"The boss won't come back this time!"
Liu Si picked up the tea brewed by Li Haiping and took a sip, "Almost." Are there any difficulties that Alibaba can't solve recently? ”
"Boss, there must be a problem. I didn't realize that Alibaba has a bottleneck at present, and there are still many problems. Li Haiping was worried about the business, "If Alibaba wants to develop, it must make the company truly standardize its operation, and at present, Alibaba has a large number of employees, and there is a serious shortage of management personnel, especially senior managers." Alibaba's management level is not perfect, and the finance department, administration department and other departments have not been established. ”
"Well, what do you say needs to be done?" Liu Si raised his eyebrows and preached.
"We need to recruit management talents on a large scale, improve Alibaba's management structure, and realize the truly standardized operation of the group company." Li Haiping thought for a while.
Speaking of which, this time back to China, Liu Si is ready to be stationed in China to fully deploy China's network technology sector. First, Phoenix Capital and Angel Capital are encouraged to get involved in domestic venture capital and invest in the domestic network technology sector; Second, the establishment of an Internet industry chain dominated by the three giants of "traffic, entrance, and content" will realize the dominance of China's network information.
The content and entrance correspond to Alibaba and Baidu, and the traffic he Liu Si has not yet begun to arrange and develop instant messaging software. QQ Liu Si has not yet started development, but the ICQ he invested in has already swept the world.
ICQ has been released for nearly half a year, and today's users have exceeded 1.3 million, especially under the premise that Liu Sili is not afraid to spend dollars, ICQ has become a household name in just half a year, and the current market valuation has exceeded 400 million US dollars, which is only slightly lower than Yahoo's market value of 200 million US dollars.
At this time, not many people thought that instant messaging would have much of a way out, because this kind of chat tool that needs to be online at any time has been subject to dial-up Internet access on the Internet. As a result, as soon as the number of QQ users increases, the server will continue to expand. On top of that, many people don't see ICQ's profit model, and most VCs and venture capitalists thought that the $400 million valuation greatly exceeded its actual value.
ICQ looks very good, but in fact, Weisger, Wady, and Goldfinger are distressed, and the miracle company they created is out of money. ICQ vigorously develops users and invests a lot of advertising costs, about 1.5 million US dollars; The second is that the best current server is that one can only serve 50,000 people at the same time, in order to be able to serve more users at the same time, ICQ purchased a total of more than 200 latest blade servers, costing 3 million US dollars; In addition, the salaries of personnel, and in order to serve the world, it took a lot of money to set up server branches in major countries and buy buildings.
If it can't raise money again soon, ICQ can almost declare bankruptcy.
Liu Si didn't know that ICQ, which was far away in Israel, was in trouble, and his main thing at present was to deploy the domestic Internet industry.
"Mr. Li, don't worry! The company is mine, and I have always been very careful about this, otherwise the tens of millions invested in the early stage will be wasted. As for the management talent you mentioned, I have paid attention to it a long time ago, give me half a month, and we will give you a satisfactory answer. He stood up, tidied up his clothes, and then asked, "Mr. Li, is my dad upstairs?" ”
"Mr. Liu should be upstairs."
"So be it! I also know a little bit about Alibaba's situation, so I'll go up to learn about the two companies of Good Food and Dazheng Service. Then I'll solve the problems for you one by one! ”
Alibaba and QQ, the two major Internet companies, already have suitable candidates in his mind. Cai Chongxin, Lu Zhaoxi, Zhang Zhidong, Li Xueling, Wang Qingming and so on. There are many people who have left a brilliant mark in the history of China's Internet from the Lenovo machine, and there is no shortage of talents.
Among them, Liu Si values Cai Chongxin and Zhang Zhidong the most, Cai Chongxin is sure that he can pull him down Alibaba, but Zhang Zhidong is a little hanging.
In 1997, Ma Huateng was in charge of the research and development of Internet paging systems at Shenzhen Runxun Communication Development Co., Ltd., a Chinese telecommunications service and product supplier. Zhang Zhidong works at Liming Computer. Now ICQ has become popular all over the world, but I don't know if Ma Huateng has found business opportunities in the instant messaging market, although it was circulated in the Internet in his previous life, Ma Huateng only began to pay attention to the instant messaging software market in 98.
Zhang Zhidong and Ma Huateng are classmates at Shenzhen University, if Liu Si and Ma Huateng are allowed to compete for Zhang Zhidong, he will really be a little unable to hold it.
The person in charge of Delicious Food Co., Ltd. remembered that his name was Wang Xing, an executive of Hong Kong Shing Kee Food Co., Ltd., "Mr. Wang was very busy and disturbed. ”
"Welcome Liu Shao to the delicious food company to inspect the work." Wang Xing stood up very happily to welcome his boss.
"Mr. Wang seems to welcome my arrival, there is any problem that can't be solved, so worried about me, a hairy boy!"
Wang Xing smiled and said bluntly, "Liu Shao, the company has developed three series of products: biscuit series, egg yolk pie, and Qizheng herbal tea series, and is now building several series of production lines and production plants. The production line and the corresponding employees of the matching facility are all in the pipeline, so there is not much money in the company's account. ”
"I see, you can give me the detailed charter and budget table later, and I will make the corresponding arrangements." Liu thought about it, although he had a lot of money, he should still check the details in terms of finances.
Finally, Dazheng Service, He Huajian did not do well, Liu Si took a look at the business of Dazheng Service Company in the past six months, in addition to taking care of the business of his own company, Dazheng Service Company did not pull down a few orders. Therefore, Liu Si made up his mind, He Huajian retired to the deputy director of the security department of Dazheng Security Subsidiary, and Dazheng Service Professional Manager re-found a headhunting company to recruit.
The innermost office on the fourth floor is the chairman's office, which is also where Liu's father works today. When Liu Si opened the door and walked in, Liu's father was looking at a report, and he knew that it was a balance sheet after studying economics in his previous life.
"Dad!"
Father Liu heard a familiar voice and looked up excitedly, "Sisi, you're back." ”
"Well, it's back. I didn't go home for the Spring Festival this year, did you miss me? "He hasn't been back to his hometown for a year and a half, and he, who is only 15 years old, misses his hometown very much.
"Your mother is thirty and the first day of junior high school is almost nagging out of the cocoon in my ears." Father Liu remembered his wife's nagging in his ears during the Spring Festival, and he was shocked, "Your mother has spoken, if you don't go home during the Spring Festival this year, she will rush over from her hometown to smoke you." ”
"If I go home this year, I will definitely go home." Liu Si ran over with a smile and hugged Liu's father's arm and said coquettishly, "Dad, can you understand this?" ”
"Why don't you understand, I underestimated your dad! Lao Tzu told you, I think I was also our top student at the beginning, but your grandmother dropped out of school when she was sick. Liu's father was very unconvinced, if it wasn't for his grandmother's serious illness, he would also be a college student.
"Dad, you're amazing, where did this balance sheet come from?" At this time, unlike later generations, computers were widely used, and financial software was rampant. The balance sheet in Liu's father's hand is handwritten, and the title has not yet been written.
"The balance sheet in hand is this month Alibaba."
As soon as Liu Si heard Liu's father's words, he immediately became interested in this balance sheet, "Show me." ”
"I said, now that our family has invested so much, when will Alibaba be able to make a profit?" Liu's father and his generation are still very keen on learning, so in the past six months, Liu's father asked himself to consult the financial personnel of Alibaba and Haodiandian, and finally became familiar with the financial work.
"It's still early!" Liu Si replied and looked at it with relish.
"Son, we have invested more than 40 million yuan in Alibaba, but now we have not seen any effect at all. You said, we might as well invest more money in a few traditional industries such as clothing, food, housing and transportation. "Father Liu remembered that Semir Clothing had only invested a few million yuan, and his naturalization had already begun to make a profit, while Alibaba had invested 40 million, but he couldn't see the end yet.
"Hey, Dad, it's not hitting you. If you really have this kind of thought, you will definitely regret it in the future! Liu Si smiled strangely, "Do you know how much Alibaba will be worth in the future?" ”
"I don't know."
"Semir clothing, 361 degrees, and Xtep clothing add up to a total of 100 billion, so Alibaba will add a zero to the back. You tell me? ”
"God, you said that Alibaba will be worth 1,000 billion in the future."
Although Liu's father exclaimed, Liu Si could still see his distrust, "Dad, there is an Internet company in the United States called Amazon, which is the same as Alibaba, and Amazon's market value is now as high as more than 60 billion yuan. ”
"Son, really."
"Really."
In the following days, Liu Si arranged for headhunters to recruit professional managers and executives for their own companies.
