Chapter 563: Lecture at Harvard University
"I think the same should be true of your headquarters. There's an acquisition proposal here, and we're willing to pay $1 billion to acquire IQ. Remember, it's $1 billion. If you refuse, I think, a year from now, when we negotiate again, we will only be willing to pay $100 million. ”
"A year later, we negotiated again, and at that time, we were only willing to pay $100 million."
This sentence, said heavily, directly hit the heart of IQ President Wen Li.
He knew that the meaning of this sentence was not negotiation at all, but the threat of red luǒluǒ. If IQ doesn't agree, then MN will be an example for IQ. Moreover, IQ's backend is clearly not as powerful as Microsoft's. In recent years, AOL, the headquarters of AOL, has a lot of prejudice against IQ. It gave Winley some headaches, in fact, recently, Winley has realized that he made a mistake in his strategy. It's just that this strategy has been in place for so long now that it's basically impossible to take it back.
"I'm going to be in the U.S. for three days, you can think about it, and within three days, I want you to give me an answer. Say yes or no, you all have to be ready. ”
After speaking, Chen Jiayi took the team of Tang Dynasty Company and left IQ.
Cripple Hotel, USA.
This is where the Tang Dynasty company stayed.
"Mr. Chen, you say, will IQ agree?"
Back at the residence, secretary Liu Zhiming asked Chen Jiayi.
"Those who know the practice are Junjie, I think, we should agree."
Chen Jiayi was not afraid that he would not agree, how simple would it be for him to say this.
If IQ does not agree, then IQ will have to face fierce competition from Tang Dynasty Company. He doesn't believe that IQ can survive this competition, it should be said that it is not Chen Jiayi who doesn't believe it, it's that IQ doesn't believe in himself. Chen Jiayi doesn't have too much regard for this kind of IQ senior management who can't even see the future direction clearly, or AOL senior management.
If it weren't for IQ that there are so many markets now, Chen Jia wouldn't have come here.
"Ding-dong......"
At this time, the Kriffi Hotel, shì came to Chen Jiayi with a stranger.
"Hello, Mr. Chen Jiayi, this gentleman said he wanted to see you."
"You want to see me?"
Chen Jiayi looked at the stranger in front of him.
He looks like he is thirty years old, with a high nose bridge and red eyes that are characteristic of Europeans and Americans...... Just as Chen Jiayi swept past him, a badge in front of him caught Chen Jiayi's attention.
rvrd。
"Harvard University."
If Chen Jiayi is not mistaken, this badge is the emblem of Harvard University.
"Yes, to introduce myself, I am the head of the Foreign Office of Harvard University" Stu ", at the invitation of the school, we are ready to invite you to visit our Harvard University. At the same time, we students at Harvard University are also very interested in the teaching methods of Tang Dynasty University. If possible, we are willing to have friendly exchanges with Tang Dynasty University. ”
Stu said as he pulled out an invitation from Harvard University.
"Visit?"
In Chen Jiayi's plan, there doesn't seem to be such an event. However, since Harvard University has sent an invitation, Chen Jiayi will be fine these days anyway, and he can visit Harvard. However, just when Chen Jiayi agreed, he suddenly remembered that at that time, Tang Dynasty University had not yet opened, and Tang Dynasty University and Harvard University had a competition.
Although that contest was evenly divided. But because of the popular Renren Network, the world has long set its eyes on the competition between the two universities, and in the eyes of outsiders, Tang Dynasty University and Harvard University have some small hostility because of this matter.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Jia came to the United States, Harvard University actually came to invite him to visit Harvard.
"Haha, this time, are you going to invite me to Harvard to discuss academics, or, like the last time, in Renren, the academic debate between Harvard University and Tang Dynasty University. Oh, that's a good idea. There will be a live-action academic discussion on the spot, and I think many people will be interested. ”
Chen Jiayi joked with this "Stu".
"Oh, Mr. Chen Jiayi, you misunderstood, this invitation is just a simple visit. There is no academic discussion involved, but of course, if it's convenient for you, you can give a lecture for us at Harvard. I think we at Harvard will welcome you very much. ”
"I see."
Hearing this, Chen Jiayi nodded.
If there is any academic discussion with these Harvard students, Chen Jiayi will not be idle. If it is a visit, this kind of mindless and sightseeing thoughts, Chen Jiayi is willing to accept it. ,", I accept your invitation to Harvard. ”
“n,yu。”
Stu thanked him and left.
The next day, Chen Jiayi, who accepted the invitation of Harvard, came to the famous Harvard University.
"Welcome Mr. Chen Jiayi to Harvard University."
As soon as he got out of the car, Chen Jiayi saw banners on the side. The text written on it is not traditional English, but the Chinese character of Qingyi sè. And the people who greeted Chen Jiayi on the side were countless Chinese students. When these international students learned that Chen Jiayi had accepted the invitation of Harvard University and came to visit Harvard University, they were all very excited. Even some schools on the side, such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and other institutions, have a lot of Chinese students coming.
Such a big welcome lineup really surprised Chen Jiayi a little. Especially in a foreign country, seeing so many Chinese makes Chen Jia feel more cordial. I believe that for many friends who go abroad, there will be such a mentality.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Chen Jiayi walked forward slowly, smiling at the Chinese students who came to greet him. Finally, at the entrance of Harvard University, that is, at the entrance of Harvard University, Chen Jiayi paused, turned his head, and looked at these lovely people. Chen Jiayi said, "I wish you all success in your studies, and in a few years, your motherland is still waiting for you to build." ”
In the past, many Chinese students, many of whom had real talents, only lived in their study place after they finished studying abroad, until they grew old, and even eventually became people from another country. Only those turtles who stayed in the ocean, in order to cross the golden gods, did not learn much skills, and then returned to their own country.
It's really a cup thing.
China is so big, and it needs the support of talents in many aspects. Among them, he needs more than just the Internet, computer talents. In other ways, he needed talented people even more. Like machinery, like education, like medicine, like energy...... China lacks these talents.
Chen Jiayi can build an Internet empire, but he can't build an all-round China. Only when a steady flow of talent flows into China and is used by China, just like the United States, can China stand on top of the world.
Just such a sentence, perhaps, is just Chen Jiayi's casual sigh. However, after this sentence was uttered, he touched countless Chinese studying abroad. Perhaps, they did not want to return to the motherland and build for the country. However, under the influence of Chen Jiayi, in the future, batch after batch of overseas students will return to the embrace of the motherland. Since then, the Chinese, under the construction of countless talents, have come from behind and become a superpower.
That's a story for later.
As soon as Chen Jia finished speaking, he visited Harvard University, accompanied by Harvard University faculty and staff.
"Mr. Chen Jiayi, this is our Harvard Business School."
Harvard University really deserves to be Harvard University, and along the way, what Chen Jia felt was the strong teaching spirit that Harvard University brought to him. This is not to say that there is a reading spirit here, nor does it mean that the students here work hard and keep their heads buried in reading. This kind of breath may not be able to speak. However, when entering this school, Chen Jiayi will involuntarily think of words such as "truth, scholar, and ...... thinking".
"Harvard Business School."
Chen Jiayi looked at the business school in front of him, but said, "Do you have a saying in the United States, this sentence says that Harvard University can be regarded as a crown among all universities in the United States, and the eye-catching jewel on the crown is Harvard Business School." ”
Harvard Business School, the most famous institution in the United States for cultivating business talents, is known by Americans as the West Point Military Academy for businessmen, directors, and general managers, and many big entrepreneurs and politicians in the United States have studied here. One-fifth of the managers holding the highest positions in the 500 largest U.S. companies graduate from this college. The Harvard Master of Business Administration (MB) is a symbol of power and money, and has become a dream degree for many young Americans.
At the same time, Harvard Business School is also a "factory" that manufactures "professional bosses", and everyone at Harvard MB is crazy about the growth and profit of the enterprise, they have a strong impulse to pursue success, and a sense of pretentiousness, they are professional killers in business activities. The average annual salary of MB can reach more than $100,000, so that the first disadvantage that Americans accuse MB of is that they are too valuable.
"Hehe, this is just a lift from the American education community." , even Americans, who have always liked to be straightforward, couldn't help but be humble when they heard Chen Jiayi's words. Because, in their eyes, comparing Harvard's business school with this king of business, it seems that there is no chance of winning. Although, Harvard Business School has given birth to a batch of strong people. However, among all the strong men, none of them have Chen Jiayi who has done such a good job.
For example, Chen Jiayi's joint Yahoo against Gu helped IBM get rid of the burden of personal computers...... There is also Chen Jiayi's recent battle with Microsoft MN. Until now, as soon as Chen Jiayi came to the United States, he heard that he also had the idea of playing IQ.
This kind of crazy capital operation, although there is no place for the innovation of Tang Dynasty's scientific and technological products. However, since ancient times, capital operation is a manifestation of the ability of enterprises. When an enterprise reaches a certain scale, it is impossible for it to develop at a high speed again.
After all, every company, its ability to innovate is limited. If he only thinks about innovation every day and doesn't know the operation of capital, then he can only do the best like Apple. In fact, in American business schools, many people have been obsessed with Apple's capital operation. They believe that this kind of enterprise that only knows innovation, but does not know how to play to its own advantages, cannot become a world giant at all. If it weren't for later, because of the cooperation with the Tang Dynasty Company, it is estimated that the current Apple would still be slightly profitable.
"Hehe, yes."
Chen Jia smiled, but he didn't want to fight for this.
In fact, Chen Jiayi really admires this Harvard Business School. Judging from global data, the university with the most billionaires in the world is Harvard University. And Harvard University, the school with the most billionaires, is Harvard Business School.
Such a school is something that the Tang Dynasty University cannot compare with for the time being.
Sometimes, Chen Jiayi is eager to build Tang Dynasty University into a world-class university. However, in the end, Chen Jiayi decided to start step by step. The world's famous school, he needs a background. And this kind of heritage needs time to polish. It was not until decades, centuries later, that it was possible for the Tang Dynasty University to show its colonelly style.
Otherwise, he would still be just a small school.
Shaking his head, Chen Jiayi didn't plan to think about this, just waiting for Chen Jiayi to enter the business school. At this moment, a noisy sound came from the side of the tree. Chen Jia turned his head, but saw two European and American students, discussing something loudly. Judging from such a degree of jī fierceness, they no longer care about other people's opinions.
"I'm sorry, but a lot of the time, these students are like that."
A faculty member at Harvard University explained to Mr. Chen.
"It doesn't matter, maybe their quarrel is the reason why Harvard University has always been famous all over the world."
Chen Jiayi didn't care anymore, because, when he saw these two people, he only felt that what was floating in front of him was true knowledge.
This is what we need to do to find this truth.
"Hey, sir, come and rate it for us."
At this time, those two young people, somehow, actually came to Chen Jiayi.
"Oh, what do you want to rate?"
Chen Jiayi was not disgusted by the two people coming to disturb him. Instead, he looked at these two young men with interest, in fact, Chen Jiayi was at most one or two years older than them.
"Well, we're talking about a marketing event. According to Ham, lies help to achieve marketing, and even that lies are the ultimate goal of marketing or promotion. It's just that Ham hasn't been able to find the right reason. In a few of his examples, I can only feel that lies do help with marketing. However, in order to make marketing successful thoroughly, it must also be built on a certain material basis. ”
"That's right."
These two people are one person, and Chen Jiayi understands it.
Seriously, Chen Jiayi agrees with that Ham's opinion. In his opinion, marketing is a technology, or an art. This kind of art is completely independent of matter. We need to use our eloquence, or some other strategy, to achieve our marketing or promotion efforts.
"In this way, I will give you an example, perhaps, you will know the importance of marketing."
Chen Jia thought about it for a while, and was going to tell them the story of the empty glove white wolf of "Chen Tianqiao" in later generations. However, Chen Jiayi thought about it again, and this story didn't seem to be very powerful. So, Chen Jiayi also changed to another one, remembering a joke that was very popular in China in later generations.
"There was a father who wanted to find a good job for his son, but his son was lazy and incompetent, and had little merit," he said. However, the old man didn't care about it. After that, the old man was introduced by others and found the oil tycoon Rockefeller. The old man said to him, "How about I find you a son-in-law?" Of course, Rockefeller would certainly not agree. He replied directly, no, you get out of here. However, the old man said, what if the son-in-law I found for you is the vice president of the World Bank? Rockefeller thought about it and agreed. Then the old man asked someone to find the president of the World Bank and said to him, "Hello, Mr. President, you need a vice president." Like Rockefeller, the president of the World Bank said no, saying that we already have a vice president. It's just that, at this time, the old man said, "What if this vice president is Rockefeller's son-in-law?" The president thought about it for a while and said secretly, being able to find Rockefeller's son-in-law as a vice president would definitely be of great help to our business. The president also agreed to the old man's request. At the end of this story, the old man not only found a satisfactory job for his son, but at the same time, he also made his son Rockefeller's son-in-law. ”
"Haha...... Haha......"
When Chen Jiayi finished the joke, the people next to him, including these two young men, were already laughing. However, after they finished laughing, the two young men also understood what Chen Jiayi meant.
"Thank you, you have taught me what real marketing is, what is a real lie."
Although this is a joke, the possibility of a realistic operation is almost equal to zero. But, theoretically, this one story could really happen. As a marketer, they want to attach such theories to practice.
After a whole noon visit, Chen Jiayi already had an intuitive feeling about Harvard University. Chen Jiayi secretly remembered this feeling in his heart. Because, in his heart, there is a Tang Dynasty university waiting for him to improve.
Perhaps, all the people in the world only think that Tang Dynasty University is just a factory for Chen Jiayi to train employees.
However, in Chen Jia's eyes, he directly denied it.
No, not at all.
This is only temporary, if the Tang Dynasty University is also like this in the future. Then, Tang Dynasty University, he is not a university, but a training institution. It is not the talents that are cultivated, but the workers of the assembly line. Although, this worker, the content of their work, is not to do coolies. However, this kind of cultivation will fix their minds to a large extent. If this is the case, the students who graduated from Tang Dynasty University can only work for others, but cannot be their own bosses.
Putting aside this idea, at this time, another Harvard faculty member said to Chen Jiayi, "I just received a text message from the president, specially inviting Mr. Chen Jiayi to give a speech to Harvard students. ”RO@。
