Chapter 260: Coming up with an idea

"What? Could it be that there are friends of Brother Li among those people? Zhou Liwen asked a little strangely.

Who thinks that Li Dong shook his head: "There are a few bosses who can only be regarded as acquaintances, and if they talk about friendship, it's nothing." It stands to reason that they are now to blame for this result. But Brother Zhou, except for the people who do business, except for the fortune leader, or the people above, which one is not based on his own hard work? I think that at the beginning, if my brother hadn't been so poor that his family couldn't open the pot and go to the sea, he wouldn't have this step today. Even so, from a small business to a large group later, at the beginning, it was not a small matter to take some A goods to fill them with genuine products, or find a way for Xiangjiang to find someone to bring goods or something. This is light opportunistic, and to say strict is to use good as good and even smuggling crimes. ”

Lighting a cigarette, Li Dong sighed and shook his head: "It's difficult to be a man, and it's even more difficult to be a businessman!" How can you do it if you have little capital, no channels, and you want to make money, but you don't want to find a way? What's more, most of them are just small factory owners and small bosses, with a shallow foundation, and they have worked hard for half their lives, and finally end up with nothing, which is unbearable! Besides, even if they are at fault, are their families also at fault? With a lot of debt, what will happen to their families in the future? What about the workers who work for them? Now some people can't resist the pressure and commit suicide, if they don't think of a way out, this is going to be a big deal! ”

Li Dong's words made Zhou Liwen not speak for a long time, indeed, as Li Dong said, the accumulation of capital is cruel, and even a famous entrepreneur like him will inevitably do something against his conscience when he first started. Let me ask, is Zhou Liwen clean himself? In his previous life and present life, Zhou Liwen also has more than 2O years of experience in the business world, and he is very aware of the cruelty and ruthlessness of shopping malls. Even in the eyes of outsiders, he was a proud man in the business world who was "lucky", and he also used some unsavory means to dig up the first pot of gold at the beginning.

In other words, if Zhou Liwen hadn't used the resources of the group company, relied on the background of Mr. Chen, took advantage of the contradiction between Zhang Guangdu and Huang Jianbo, and sent Huang Jianbo to prison by means, so as to monopolize the power of the branch, where would there be Guo's deposit? Without Guo's, there would be no step by step exhibition and today's status and wealth.

"I didn't expect Brother Li to see it so thoroughly, this realm has simply been realized."

"!" Li Dong scolded with a smile: "I'm not a monk, I don't understand anything, you won't be sarcastic and say that I am a monkey." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Zhou Liwen, but even Pang Yishan, who had been silent, laughed.

After being happy for a while, Li Dong said: "Actually, the reason is very simple, half a year ago, I was as poor as them, and I couldn't see a little hope. Brother Zhou, do you remember when I went to Huhai to look for you? ”

Seeing Zhou Liwen nodded, Li Dong laughed at himself: "You rejected me that day, do you know what I thought when I went out?" While standing on the side of the road waiting for a taxi, I watched the cars coming and going, and even thought of rushing into the street to be hit by a car. Thankfully, I didn't do that, and if I did, I don't think we would have had the time to sit down and talk about it today. ”

Seeing that Zhou Liwen was about to speak, Li Dong waved his hand and said, "I don't blame you Brother Zhou, in fact, when I went to look for you, I knew very well that it was not easy to get you to reach out." This is for me, and I will also mention your original conditions. But this person often relies on hope, and he doesn't give up until he reaches the Yellow River. Fortunately, in the end, you still took a hand to pull me, otherwise maybe my old bones would have turned to ashes. ”

Li Dong's words aroused Pang Yishan's emotion, and he also thought of the difficult days after his bankruptcy. If Zhou Liwen hadn't found him by accident, maybe he would still be living hard in that small utility room. Quietly turned his back and wiped away the tears oozing from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, Pang Yishan couldn't help but persuade: "Dong Zhou, what Li Dong said is true, if you have a way, you should help them, do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and benefit future generations!" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Liwen's heart moved slightly. He admits that what Li Dong said is reasonable, and he is also deeply touched. But Pang Yishan's last sentence also reminded him that doing good deeds and accumulating virtue will benefit future generations. His wife is about to give birth soon, and he is about to become a father, even for the sake of the child, it is not meaningless to help these things within his ability.

How can I help? Zhou Liwen needs to think about it. If he was asked to pay to make up for the losses of these people, Zhou Liwen would never do it. He is a businessman, not a philanthropist, and even if he is a philanthropist, I am afraid that there will be no such philanthropist in this world. In addition, Zhou Liwen does not have much money in his hands at present, and he has more than 300 million US dollars of available funds when he is full. But $200 million of that money will be invested in the Scopa acquisition, and the remaining $100 million will be used as an emergency reserve, which must not be touched.

Next, when Scopa's acquisition is completed, Zhou Liwen's smartphone will be officially produced, and he will need a large amount of capital investment at that time. So from this point of view, his funds are not abundant, and it can even be said that he is a little nervous.

But if you don't have money, how can you help these people? Zhou Liwen quietly thought about it and finally proposed a plan.

"Integration?"

"That's right! It's integration! Zhou Liwen explained: "Although I don't have a specific understanding of the situation, I heard that some of the bosses have invested a lot in copycat mobile phones, and the factories, equipment, and personnel are basically perfect." Although it is not as good as the factories of orz and TcL, it should not be a problem as a foundry or assembly factory. Of course, I can't believe these people to be honest, even if you help them in this way, you also have to be on guard, if the other party doesn't refuse, I can integrate them in the name of orz company or TcL company, as the downstream factory support of our two companies, the premise is integration, the second is management, these two are indispensable. ”

"It's a good way." Li Dong pondered and nodded, after Zhou Liwen took over TcL, he did not merge all of TcL's mobile phone business into orz mobile phones, but continued to be independent in the names of the two companies. Li Dong had doubts about this at first, because when he first asked Zhou Liwen for help, he took the initiative to withdraw from the mobile phone market and give up the entire domestic mobile phone market share to Zhou Liwen, but to his surprise, Zhou Liwen did not do it in the end.

In fact, Zhou Liwen knows very well how big the mobile phone market is, and such a big market is not as simple as a company that can occupy it by saying that it can give up its share. It is the products and consumers that determine the market share, not the wishful thinking of the operators. When preparing to unite with TcL to deal with the menacing Lianke, Zhou Liwen made a decision. Out of consideration for the market, continuing to retain the TcL mobile phone brand is more beneficial than disadvantageous for both itself and TcL.

With the imminent advent of smart phones, Zhou Liwen's ORz mobile phone will be exhibited as a flagship leading the mobile phone trend. At the same time, in the case of orz mobile phones withdrawing from the mid-to-bottom market, there must be a self-controlled other brand of mobile phones to fill this market, and TcL is just capable of this role.

After Zhou Liwen became the president of TcL, he borrowed media resources, including network influence, and then took advantage of Lianke's mistakes in copycat mobile phones, which gradually regained consumers' confidence in TcL mobile phones. At present, with the recovery of the TcL brand, the market sales of TcL mobile phones have gradually improved, although far less than the booming sales of orz mobile phones, but it has occupied a certain share in the entire domestic mobile phone market.

There is also an important reason, that is, for overseas markets. Compared with orz mobile phones, TcL's overseas network is relatively complete, not to mention that the low-end mobile phone market in Southeast Asia and other regions has great potential, which is one of the main reasons why copycat mobile phones have swept the world in later generations. In this market, TcL mobile phones can play a major role, complementing Zhou Liwen's own orz mobile phones, and learning from each other's strengths.

In the past six months, whether it is an orz mobile phone or a TcL mobile phone, its market exhibition strategy is completely in accordance with Zhou Liwen's expectations. Also for this reason, the two mobile phone companies gradually have a shortage of production capacity, although Zhou Liwen has begun to expand the investment in assembly plants and even foundries in Heijiang, but for the current market demand is still somewhat insufficient. If we wait for smartphones to go on the market, Zhou Liwen believes that simply doubling the current production capacity may not be able to meet market requirements.

Therefore, after Zhou Liwen proposed this construction, Li Dong immediately felt that this was a good way, as Zhou Liwen said, the equipment personnel of some copycat machine factory owners can fully meet the requirements of OEM as a downstream enterprise. As long as you take the control of these enterprises in your own hands, you don't have to worry about problems, and you can also take this opportunity to pull them along.

"What about some small bosses? As far as I know, most people just use small workshops when they get on the cottage mobile phones, and all their funds are backlogged in the purchase of chips and raw materials. These people's factories cannot be used as downstream factories, so are they watching them cornered? Li Dong just raised his eyebrows, and then frowned again.

"I said, Brother Li, you are too lenient. Could it be that you really plan to become a monk and be compassionate? Zhou Liwen joked with a smile, and Li Dong was also happy when he heard it, scratching his head and shaking his head and laughing bitterly.

"I can't manage these small bosses and small factories, it's thankless to recruit them, and if you don't get it right, you'll get into trouble. However, if you are really kind, Brother Li, it is better to let out some rumors and let them rely on the materials in their hands to make some mobile phone add-ons, such as mobile phone pendants that have just become popular in Little Japan, mobile phone protective cases, and even mobile phone protectors similar to car films. These things are not high-tech, and the market demand is also large, although they can't make a lot of money, and it shouldn't be a problem to let them breathe a sigh of relief. ”

"Hey! It's a great idea, I didn't think of it. Li Dong's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this, and he was happy when he patted his thighs.
