Chapter 122: The Banquet
In addition to the two servants' bedrooms and the utility room, the rest of the rooms were opened up as a children's toy room. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info is wrapped in eco-friendly foam from floor to wall, so children can climb inside without fear of injury.
This place used to be Long Long's favorite, but now that he is just over three years old, he began to say that a few younger siblings were naΓ―ve, which made Zhou You a little unbearable.
Zhou You didn't want him to be like the children in China, and he was sent to kindergarten from the age of three, for fear that the children would not be able to keep up with the times. Long Long has been running around with them since he was a child, and he has seen and has no problem with simple communication in Chinese and English, so Zhou You intends to let him go to school when he is a little older.
Zhou You touched his little head, looked at the TV and said, "Then go to bed after watching this episode of TV, otherwise you won't be able to get up tomorrow, and your mother will beat your little ass." β
He stared at the mouse teasing the cat on the TV without looking back, and said, "Mom gets up later than me every day, and Guoguo doesn't get up as early as me." β
Zhou You left him alone and came to the toy room. The three little ones were all placed on the ground, and because of their young age, there were no other toys, that is, some large and small fluffy toys, and they crawled around on the ground one by one, and from time to time they communicated in alien language, and had a great time.
Yan Fangqing stared at the children while looking at the computer in Gracia's arms, and the two exchanged a few words from time to time. Zhou You also took off his shoes and entered the house, sat on the ground and began to tease a few children.
Zhongge saw Zhou You, scared up and ran, and was accidentally mixed with a big heel by a toy on the ground, just because it didn't hurt, he didn't cry, and hid behind a big bear. At home, he was most afraid of Zhou You tying him with his beard, and every time he saw Zhou You running faster than anyone else.
Zhongzhen and Zhong'an's two daughters like to travel the most, they are not their father's little padded jackets, and when they saw Zhou You, they quickly crawled over, and the two of them began to climb on him.
Zhou You smiled and hugged both of them, and then circled them between their thighs. Zhongzhen was quiet, and Zhou You's big hand patted her back, and she laughed happily.
Zhong'an is the most naughty, holding his fingers to poke Zhou You's nostrils for a while, and Zhou You's mouth for a while. Zhou You gently bit her finger, and she also laughed, and her saliva flowed a lot.
This simple emotional exchange makes traveling very enjoyable, and the warmth of family is sublimated from this bland enjoyment. After playing with them for a while, their attention was attracted elsewhere, and the two little girls climbed into the pile of toys and began to compete with Zhongge again.
Seeing that Zhou You retracted his gaze, Yan Fangqing asked, "What's the matter with Vice President Yan coming over?" β
"I've pulled a partner, and I'm ready to accept it."
"State-owned? Will they agree with Tmall's assessment? β
Zhou You smiled and said: "There are only so many tangible assets of Tmall, but intangible assets are difficult to evaluate, whether it is my personal influence, Tencent's technology development capabilities, or the development prospects of this project have an important impact on this valuation." Temasek is willing to give a valuation of 40 times, and they have to accept at least 30 times, otherwise there is no point in negotiating. Let's wait for the birthday party to talk about this. β
Gracia blinked and asked: "The state is just a synonym, but the interior is formatted, and state-owned capital should actually be party property, right?" β
Zhou You nodded and said: "But now this represents the country's assets, and if we want to have great development in the hinterland and will not be hindered, we must accept this." β
Gracia asked, "Aren't you going to internationalize Tmall?" The development of the mainland is far inferior to that of the United States and Europe, but why do you insist on starting with the mainland? β
Zhou You said with a smile: "That's because the business environment in Europe and the United States is relatively stable, but the mainland is booming, and it is more difficult for us to squeeze into Europe and the United States, but in the mainland, it is equivalent to taking the fast train." When we can stabilize in the mainland, we will also have the capital to enter Europe and the United States. β

Zhou You's first birthday banquet for his children has been a topic of conversation for many people in Beijing and even in the mainland many years later.
First of all, Zhou You held a first birthday banquet for his three children at the same time, or was he born to two wives. And the two wives get along very well, which makes everyone envious.
Secondly, the size of the guests. Although the Asian restaurant can accommodate 10,000 people at the same time, it has never been saturated, and the so-called claim is just a gimmick.
But this time, Zhou You did invite tens of thousands of guests. Just to arrange these guests from all over the country, Zhou You mobilized a management team of 50 people, an executive team of more than 200 people, and a total of more than a dozen large hotels to arrange the accommodation of everyone.
After that, it is the high level and scope of the guests this time. The guests of the day included leaders from various departments, ambassadors of several countries to China, the head of Singapore personally went out, and the President of Colombia and the Prime Minister of Spain also sent congratulatory messages.
In the economic world, there are even more big men, and Prince Alwaleed, the richest man in Asia, drove two planes to visit, one of which was loaded with gifts for his three children, which also made him attract countless attention in China for a week in a row.
Whether it was the United States, Singapore, Southeast Asia, Spain, Hong Kong, Colombia, countless business leaders attended the banquet.
As for the mainland, there are even more, hundreds of media reporters are in the parking lot, almost not knowing who to talk to, because there are too many big people coming.
In addition, a large group of people from the entertainment industry also attended the banquet, and they also attracted more attention than the average person.
All these people have earned enough popularity for their travels. Of course, more importantly, the appearance of these people shows the network of people who travel around, and these have also become the embodiment of Zhou You's strength.
The representatives of 4,000 large and medium-sized enterprises at home and abroad at the scene really saw the strength of Zhou You, and they had a lot less worries about cooperating with him.
In previous negotiations, the larger the business, the more comfortable it was to travel. Like Nokia, Sony, Canon, Samsung, these companies, they are not worried about the solvency of Zhouyou, because they know very well that although the model created by Zhouyou has not yet been determined, the risk is very small, not to mention, even if it is a three-month distribution period, it can't suppress them too much, on the contrary, if Zhouyou's model really opens up the market, it will also bring a huge increase in sales.
However, many small and medium-sized enterprises cannot afford the three-month distribution period required at the beginning of Zhouyou, and they will have to replenish the supply at any time in the future. It's not a matter of vision, it's a matter of ability.
Many small and medium-sized enterprises are struggling, and although the volume of purchases that travel around can bring them huge profits, it may not be enough for the factory to close down in less than three months.
Therefore, the negotiation team represented by Liu Qidong is not a simple and crude one-size-fits-all, but according to the actual situation of the manufacturers, they are flexible in the way of settlement, and at least support these manufacturers to get through the difficult period of the first year, and then fix the settlement period of three months.
However, there are still many businesses that are waiting on the sidelines, because they are afraid, afraid of the ability to travel around to pay.
But today, they saw the leaders of the big four banks attending, the representatives of hundreds of domestic banks attending, and they also saw Tencent's endorsement of Zhouyou, and Temasek's support for Zhouyou, so many representatives have secretly made up their minds to cooperate with Zhouyou.
If the banks can be brought in as well, and these costs of supplying the travel will be transferred to the banks, then they will not have the slightest worry.
What's more, if you can become a cooperative supplier of Zhouyou, even if you take a contract to get a bank loan, it should not be a difficult thing.
This time, the purpose of holding a banquet was successfully achieved, and Zhou You did not lose any money, and even made a small profit. The customers who come are all big customers, and the gift money will naturally not be less, generally the minimum is several thousand gifts, and the gift money for a table is almost 50,000.
Although Zhou You arranged thousands of ingredients for a table, plus the cost of the hotel is at most more than 10,000 yuan, there is a lot of money here. Although I also paid for the hotel room and the carriage and horse expenses after coming to the capital, I still made a little money.
The scale of the banquet was also mentioned many times in the following years, but in later years, Zhou You never held such a large-scale banquet again, because it was too exhausting to organize such a banquet.
Not to mention anything else, just the arrangement of a seat makes dozens of people work hard for several days. If there is a slight mistake in the middle, arranging the toilet manufacturer to the food manufacturer, or arranging two peers who already have grievances to sit together, it will be a joke.
Although Zhou You was not directly involved in the details of the arrangement, this day was his busiest. This kind of busyness is not the kind of methodical busyness, but the hasty response to everything, so even he feels that it is too much to suffer.
Just as the CICC representative left, their Mr. Li held Zhou You's hand and said: "Mr. Zhou, this business model of Tmall online mall is a subversion of traditional business, but we are also very confident in this new business model, so we hope to have the opportunity to participate in this new business revolution." β
Zhou You also said calmly: "Tmall is still a not mature company, but because of this, we have unlimited possibilities." We welcome all people of insight to join this feast, but in business, we hope that everything can cooperate according to the business model it should be, which is good for all of us. β
"Of course, CICC is not a short-sighted company, we can also see the strategic vision of creating this new model, and we can also see the technical support provided by Alipay and Tencent, as well as the prospects for development, and we will also have an offer that is in line with the development of Tmall."
