Chapter 106: Problem Solving

Meng Qian favored multiple options, and working with Erica Stone would have many benefits: solving his side hustle funding problem; Stronger partnerships with foreign consortia; The bundling of interests will win more capital help in the development of the world.

His business partner, Liu Jianye, also had this intention.

"The night after tomorrow? No problem, I'll be on time. Meng Qian agreed to an invitation to a charity event, which Erica Stone would also attend.

After chatting, he said to Wang Manwen: "There is an event the night after tomorrow." ”

"I want to get a new look." Wang Manwen said.

"Okay." Meng Qian knew that he would regret walking around with the woman, but he still agreed.

He can understand that women love beauty, and it is a formal occasion, she pays attention to dressing up, which also adds glory to his face. Meng Qian was interested in accompanying her for a walk, in addition to clothes and jewelry, she specially went to create a new look, and also sought his advice: "Is it appropriate to roll a little?" ”

Meng Qian touched her hair: "Is the hair color natural or dyed?" ”

Wang Manwen said: "Picked." You can see the roots of my hair, it's brown and black, I was brown and yellow when I was a kid, it's amazing. ”

Meng Qian approached and observed: "Your complexion and facial features are all Westernized, the last time I saw the style of a local girl in the United States, the light brown micro-curls are very good." ”

Asian women are not suitable for dyeing the hair color of white Westerners, and if they are dyed blonde or brown, it will look very awkward and very unnatural. But Wang Manwen is different, her face is Western, and after the makeup artist helps her deal with her facial makeup, from the side, the characteristics of her facial features are reflected.

"." Meng Qian's first feeling.

She looked at herself in the mirror: "Are you okay?" ”

"Perfect profile." Meng Qian took out his mobile phone and took a side picture of her, and turned it to her: "It would be better to tie your hair back and show your forehead." ”

"Please try it for me." She said to the stylist.

……

On the night of the charity banquet, Wang Manwen, who had changed into a more mature look, accompanied him to set off. The long skirt with a slinger neck and an open back is elegant, her hair is coiled up to reveal her slender neck, and a delicate Perkin necklace around her neck adorns the scenery.

She took Meng Qian's arm and walked into the banquet hall with confident steps.

This is a high-level charity banquet organized by the business and political circles of the city, including foreign friends, and those who can be invited in China are also well-known elites, and there is no shortage of leaders in certain fields; There are also a small number of politicians involved, and after having a little relationship with the government, the importance is even higher.

After Meng Qian appeared, many wealthy businessmen and officials took the initiative to greet him.

"Mr. Meng!"

"Chairman Meng!"

Recently, Meng Qian has been frequently met by high-level officials and attended important meetings, and the country's second-in-command has praised him...... The news and sense of smell in the officialdom are very sensitive, and when he explores his personal connections and career prospects, it is conceivable which is more important, and it is normal for everyone to give face.

Comparing this scene with a year ago, Meng Qian at that time was troubled by the scarcity of contacts, and always tried every possible way to expand, and did not let go of opportunities and gatherings...... The time interval is not long, but the effect is obvious, and he has now become a relationship that others rack their brains to get along.

It's just that he's not proud, and his attitude is still positive.

After the warm-up time, at the invitation of everyone, Erica Stone took the stage to give a speech tonight.

Wang Manwen whispered: "She is friendly to China, low-key but keen on charity. ”

"Have you researched it?" Meng Qian said.

She nodded: "Very respectable lady, so is her cooperation this time." ”

Speaking of the cooperation brought by Erica Stone, the local production of a number of cutting-edge drugs for cancer and cardiovascular diseases to reduce import costs is a good thing for both local tax revenue and the local people. The government welcomed her so warmly, and Meng Qian agreed.

So when talking later, Meng Qian also expressed his respect: "Madam, your actions are good news for many ordinary families. ”

"While ensuring the profits of the business, I will do my best." Erica Stone is very straightforward, with corporate interests coming first and philanthropy secondary.

's direct personality also made Wang Manwen have a good impression of her: "At least it's better than some giants who secretly collude, bribe, and raise the price of medicine." ”

Mrs. Stone smiled: "Who is this young lady?" ”

"Wang Manwen, female companion and right-hand man." Meng Qian introduced and smiled: "She has no intention of guiding your evaluation of other peers." ”

"I don't think so, it's a sign of integrity." Erica Stone shook her hand.

"I agree with Madame." Wang Manwen said.

Obviously, Erica Stone admired Wang Manwen in many ways, and after a conversation, the scene that should have been led by Meng Qian was fulfilled by her. Meng Qian simply listened to it as a gentleman, anyway, he and the other party are also partners, so he doesn't have to worry about this moment.

Ten minutes later, Wang Manwen was reminded by Meng Qian to end the conversation sensibly.

Erica Stone has a lot of socializing, business, politics. Meng Qian also wants to focus slightly on philanthropy.

"She became your idol?" When Meng Qian filled out the company check, he asked casually.

"A very charismatic lady." Wang Manwen really likes her, "She should be feminist or more capable of calling the shots, right?" ”

"Feminism?" Meng Qian thought about it and didn't dare to make a conclusion: "She also has a man behind a successful woman, I feel that he is even bigger." ”

"What a coincidence, you're an admirer of her husband." She said.

"Self-motivation is a matter of course, and people have to keep climbing up." Meng Qian handed over the check, and the number one was followed by a dense number of zeros.

"Ten million?" Wang Manwen saw it clearly.

"Do good deeds once in a while." Meng Qian did not deliberately create a reputation, and his good deeds were also carried out in a low-key manner, although he donated the second highest amount this night.

The first is undoubtedly Erica Stone, whose charitable foundation has donated $5 million to children's health and education in China.

"What a heart." Wang Manwen admired her even more.

……

The next afternoon, Meng Qian, Liu Jianye and Erica Stone met.

Located in the most luxurious suite of the local five-star hotel, the strong woman not only does good deeds and is generous, but also very domineering when traveling, and the adjacent suites on this floor are all reserved for her assistants, bodyguards and translators to live. When they came up, they were received by a female assistant.

"Madame is doing a regimen, please wait." The assistant said, "Mr. Liu, Mr. Meng, please come here, Mrs. has prepared refreshments for you." ”

Sit down in the living room of the suite, drink a cup of foreign black tea, eat some snacks, and don't wait long, Mrs. Stone, dressed in a light dress, still in style, arrives.

After she sat down, she said, "Sorry for keeping you two waiting." ”

"It's us early." Meng Qian can understand the other party, she is almost forty years old, but she has a thirty-year-old appearance, and maintenance must be painstaking.

Madame smiled slightly, and did not say much. Get to the point.

"Protection for patents that have not yet been granted is a problem, but if you can provide more evidence, even if it is a way of thinking, it will be a victory for the judge to follow you; The second point is to prepare sufficient documents to apply for temporary protection first. ”

"Another point is the divergence strategy, Toyota can master the technology, must not be as good as your current high-end technology, if you increase capital investment, reduce the number of high-end technology, cost, lay a better quality, lower cost of the competition route, Toyota will inevitably lose."

is worthy of being a strong woman, and every one of them is to the point.

Meng Qian said to her: "I agree with the plan. The key is that in North America and Europe, the network required is more important than the technology. ”

"We are responsible for this," she said. ”

This is a very simple guarantee, and Meng Qian also showed his sincerity: "In order to reach a closer partnership, I can consider deepening cooperation." ”

"For the head office?" She is very smart, the power of Phu Quoc was caught by her husband, and she does not interfere.

"Yes, ma'am." Meng Qian nodded.

Liu Jianye listened, strictly speaking, this is Meng Qian's personal decision, and has nothing to do with the company.

Meng Qian planned to sell 10% of the shares of Wells Fargo Group, partly in exchange for shareholdings, and partly in cash, to be used in the field of patented drugs - originally worried that it would be easy to catch blind without experience, but the Stone family is in charge of a pharmaceutical giant that can rank among the top ten in the world.

form tighter. After the partnership, it has helped him in all aspects.

The benefits of the giants are very many, the most obvious is the testing of patented drugs to the application for marketing, the clinical process of the drug, and more resources will be available in the future; In terms of drug application, with the help of giants, this obscure enterprise will be taken seriously.

"I have here a document that analyzes and evaluates the value of Wells Fargo." Mrs. said as she turned over, "The first phase of your mobile phone battery factory has just been put into use, and it will be completed in February next year at the earliest, and it will be fully operational until 2016; Power batteries take longer. ”

Meng Qian also admitted: "The company is in a state of growth in the short term, and its value is not stable enough. ”

"I value your company at $30 billion," she added. ”

Nearly 200 billion yuan, according to the company's operating speed, it will indeed take the second half of 15 years to fully output - only in the field of mobile phone batteries. In Wells Fargo Energy's business, the combined annual needs of Apple and Warwick, plus cash, are about $11 billion.

Add to that the group's holdings of fixed assets, up to $2 billion, and obviously the remaining $17 billion, which is a valuation of technology, market and the future - a valuation that will increase over time and the influence of the company, and it will not jump to the top in the short term.

The future is full of uncertainties, what if there is a stronger opponent?

Not to mention, Toyota's new technology that is emerging now has lowered the value of the Wells Fargo Group.

Meng Qian also let his subordinates analyze it, and agreed with her estimate in his heart, but he didn't agree immediately: "I will seriously consider Madame's price." ”
