"Ah Chen, the person has arrived!"
"Let him in!"
After a while, a short man in his thirties walked in under the guidance of Fan Xue, he was wearing a black suit with a light blue shirt inside, a dark blue tie and a metallic belt buckle straight line; The figure is long and tall, and although his facial features are not handsome and chic, the outline of his face makes him look very calm.
"Chairman, you're looking for me!"
Song Chen signed his name on a financial document, then put it together and threw it aside, while making a "please" gesture to the other party: "Hard work!" When you take a plane from Hong Kong to the United States during this extraordinary period, there are some things you want to know about, and there are also some things for you to do! Sit, Mingbo! ”
"It's my duty!" Gu Mingbo tugged at his shirt, then sat down in front of his immediate boss.
"Your resume, I just took a cursory look at it, and then authorized Wen Jie to let you, Zhao Yinzhuo and William? Cannes came forward to negotiate a joint venture with Kodak! I have to say that the two of you have done a great job of getting a 51% stake in Kodak Digital, which is actually far beyond my expectations, and I was optimistic to get a 35% stake! ”
Gu Mingbo said humbly: "It is also the chairman of the board of directors that you have provided an extremely feasible plan, allowing us to have a well-prepared negotiation at the most suitable and favorable time, which is naturally invincible!" ”
Song Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "It is not enough to have vision, and it is very rare to have a talent who has an executive skill!" Zhao Yinzhuo is now working as a financial officer at Kodak Digital. At the beginning of the year, I officially joined Kodak Digital as the head of legal affairs, and after Phoenix Capital completed the asset restructuring of Kodak, it also completed my entrustment to you! If it weren't for the fact that my identity and some strategic intentions were discovered, I would have transferred you to the internal position of the group a long time ago! But there was a mistake on my part. After reorganizing Kodak, I forgot to explain some things to you, and you were idle, which also wasted me more than a year! ”
Gu Mingbo's spirits lifted, in fact, in the past two years, he had the illusion of being hidden, if it weren't for his boss Yu Wenjie always reminding him to wait patiently for the opportunity, he would have resigned and left long ago - for him who needs a career to be right. Sitting on a cold bench is unbearable.
Fortunately, his waiting ushered in the dawn, half a year ago, his boss Yu Wenjie was transferred to work by the boss's wife, and now he is finally remembered by his boss, and it is not in vain for him to wait.
"Don't dare!" Gu Mingbo shook his head again and again.
"I'll make it up to you!" Stopped Gu Mingbo's words about to be exported. He smiled and leaned back in his chair and asked, "By the way, how is Kodak, the two of them are doing a good job?" Kodak Digital's assets are still outside the management of Chenxing Group and Huasong Fund, and I want to hear your views before making some decisions! ”
Gu Mingbo sorted out his thoughts. Then he said slowly and rhythmically: "If you ask about the Eastman Kodak Company, I can only say that the face is full of flowers, but the essence is that it is difficult to return, although the executive officer Deng Kaida has the determination, ability, and intention to turn the tide to save Eastman Kodak, but at present, it only delays the death penalty, and does not help change the Eastman Kodak...... Or rather, the fall of the film industry! Now the only question in the industry is: how long can Eastman Kodak last! ”
"And the other side. In the past two years, the DC-29O, DCS-76O and other products launched have been widely acclaimed, which not only allows Kodak Digital to maintain a leading position in North America, but also sells hot in Europe, even if China's big 6 has more than 100,000 units! From this point of view, Kodak Digital's brand strategy is very successful! ”
Song Chen commented: "It's not a broken arm to survive. Eastman Kodak can't be saved! Bystander Qing, from my point of view, if Deng Kaida really has the courage, he should talk to you. Deng Kaida, who laid off 3,000 employees last year, obviously hasn't realized the seriousness of the problem and the urgency of time! ”
The so-called talk is to resolutely transform the field of consumer electronics and start to repurchase the equity of Phoenix Assets! But Deng Kaida did not, which means that he or the board of directors of Eastman Kodak Company cannot give up film and related industrial assets with a gross profit margin of up to 8o%, let alone predict the growth of digital cameras in the next few years.
This can only make Song Chen sigh again about the strength of "historical inertia"!
Of course, Song Chen doesn't think that the digital camera market can be hot for long, in the final analysis, what he is most interested in Kodak Digital is not Eastman Kodak, a high-end and high-grade brand, but for its intellectual property patents, which involve two aspects: one is the digital imaging patent portfolio; The second is oLed display technology! The former is a top priority!
From a historical vertical perspective, a few years later, Apple reshaped the mobile phone industry, crushing a large number of old mobile phone manufacturers, and the digital camera industry also suffered from it; Even if Apple's iPhone is not considered, the Japanese companies that control the core components of digital cameras later fought a price war, and Kodak was forced to face it! You don't need to have a lot of senior business knowledge, after Song Chen left Zhai Kuo Electric, the emergence of Kodak's low-end digital cameras from the Chinese market is easy to illustrate!
After doing sales for so many years in his last life, how could Song Chen not understand that this was a sign of the low profit margin of the industrial chain and having to exchange the market size for profits!
Sighing slightly, Song Chen smiled and said: "The affairs of Kodak Company are stared at by Zhao Yinzhuo, and I have one more thing for you to do now!" ”
Gu Mingbo straightened up and said in a deep voice: "Chairman, please instruct!" ”
"Phoenix Assets, a patent asset management company, is still very useful, and it is not easy to merge into the entire group in a short period of time!" Song Chen took out a text folder from the drawer, put it in front of Gu Mingbo, and said, "Here is a list of patent assets that I think will be of great use in the future, and the attachment is the holder situation investigated by the consulting agency, I want Phoenix Assets to come forward to acquire the patent portfolio on my behalf!" ”
Gu Mingbo opened the text, looked at it roughly at a glance, and then closed it: "I know, I'll start researching it when I go back!" ”
Song Chen groaned and said, "Also, Gao Zhiming, how much do you know?" ”
"I know a little about it, and the business model is quite bright!" Since the boss mentioned this company, Gu Mingbo simulated two things, and answered very conservatively and cautiously, because although this company has created a new business model, it is still a "high" patent troll in essence!
"Nathan? Miwald and Edward? Jung visited the company last year, and although I didn't meet them, I authorized a stake in the company! Microsoft, Nokia, Yahoo, and Cisco are all shareholders of Gao Zhiming, but so far, Hong Kong Chenxing Group is still the majority shareholder of this company! ”
After a slight pause, Song Chen said with a smile: "If there is no accident, I'm afraid Phoenix Capital and Gao Zhiming will have some contact in the future!" ”
Gu Mingbo said: "I understand what you mean, do you hope that Phoenix Capital will not conflict with Gao Zhiming?" ”
"No, you don't understand!" Song Chen shook his head and said with a cautious expression, "I mean, if the patent holder is willing to sell the patent portfolio, and Gao Zhiming and other patent companies are interested in taking over, Phoenix Capital can try its best to fight for the importance of the patent!" The reason why I mention Gao Zhiming, in addition to reminding you of the relationship between this company and Phoenix Capital, is also to hope that you can understand the company's business model, if it is technically feasible, I will support you to also form an efficient team! Of course, the premise is that you are interested in this area of work and have your own ideas, which is important for you and the company! ”
Gu Mingbo's light flashed, and he nodded solemnly and said, "Yes!" I'll take the time to look into it! ”
"If you think you can do it, make a detailed plan for me, and I will consider it as appropriate!"
"Yes!"
Song Chen nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "Now the airports in the United States are full of rumors, and they all have a very unfriendly attitude towards foreigners, you can stay here for a few more days!" ”
Gu Mingbo replied mockingly: "I have been resting for too long, please allow me to go back to Hong Kong as soon as possible to start arranging work!" ”
"Since that's the case, then I won't keep you, I wish you a smooth journey! Also, this information is kept confidential and not allowed to be seen by third parties! ”
"I understand!" Gu Mingbo bowed to Song Chen, then took the Wen Jiàn clip and left.
Song Chen was about to continue to review the important text that Zhai Yue had changed hands, when the door that had just closed opened again, he raised his eyes and glanced at it, then leaned back in his chair and said with a smile: "Mrs. Gao You and Ruoxi have mentioned your name many times, saying that you are like a fish in water in the upper class of Silicon Valley this year, and you are very active?" ”
Ashley? Fan Ning smiled: "Thanks to you, everyone gives me face, and everyone says that I am the 'king's spokesman'!" ”
She is wearing a red high-waisted umbrella skirt, with a one-shoulder design and red snow shoulders, and her delicate facial features are like natural carving, which is extremely exquisite. She was smiling, sitting at the desk with a short skirt, and her slender ** side facing Song Chen, her ice muscles were clear, which made people love it.
Compared to the skin that Asian women deliberately maintain, it is almost impossible to really achieve the effect of frost and snow competition, unless you have albinism. Only the natural skin of Caucasian people can be truly fair.
It's just that what you can't get is the best! The yellow woman wants fair skin but can't get it, but the white woman has this skin but falls in love with the wheat color in the sun...... It's not just cultural differences, I'm afraid it's also a human weakness!
