After all, the big 6 is rich in human resources and low cost, and there are indeed tangible benefits in building a factory in the big 6!

But Song Chen knows that the semiconductor industry is a capital-intensive rather than labor-intensive industry, and if it is to build a factory in Da 6 for the purpose of optimizing the cost structure, it is obviously a bit of a sacrifice!

The key reason is obviously that these multinational giants themselves have a strong strategic need, Intel, IBM, Samsung's high-tech projects in the big 6, is because they are deeply involved in China's information construction, this market has been so important that they must risk "technology leakage" to invest in the construction of factories, in order to meet the needs of the market at that time! This is the truth that so many tech giants are recruiting technicians in the Big 6 one after another to form a real center, and this has already appeared in the new century!

However, this request is a bit difficult to refuse!

Song Chen rubbed his forehead and was about to speak, but Zhao Lin suddenly hugged his neck and said with a smile: "Look! I was scared, I knew you would have such an expression! ”

Song Chen was stunned and said, "Were you joking just now?" ”

"How is that possible! I'm not so bored! Zhao Lin glanced at him and said, "My dad did call me just now!" But he also knows that this is a bit of a strong man! You can't make a decision for Toshiba, the relationship between Chenxing Technology and Toshiba is not good enough to obey you! ”

Song Chen smiled: "That's great! Linlin, you know I'll never refuse your request! ”

"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Lin pretended not to believe it, but the curvature of the corners of her lips still showed that she was in a good mood at the moment.

Song Chen paused and said in a deep voice: "Actually, it can't be said that my father-in-law's mention is unrealistic, but the current conditions are not ripe!" Flash memory technology is complex and costly, and even if the price is reduced through large-scale production, it will take a long time! Not to mention as a powerful storage technology. Flash memory is a cutting-edge technology that companies are trying to keep secret, and it is obviously unrealistic for my father-in-law to ask me to persuade a supplier who has just cooperated to build a factory in China! ”

Zhao Lin's eyes lit up and asked, "You mean, there is no way now, maybe it will be in the future?" ”

"Of course!" Song Chen nodded, "Now they have hidden the technology tightly, and they cherish it!" In the future, when the technology matures and the price comes down, the competition among manufacturers will naturally become fierce. At that time, I had more chips, and I was sure that I would be able to lobby again! Right now? The Japanese devils, who have always discriminated against us Chinese, have already given me face if they don't sweep me out of the house! ”

"Giggles!" Song Chen said it funny, and Zhao Lin giggled. When Song Chen's stinky hand got into her sweater and grabbed the small and cute breasts through the soft bra, she blushed and pressed his hand and said coquettishly, "Don't, I still have something!" ”

"You say!" Song Chen said perfunctorily, but his fingers pinched the pink buds.

Zhao Lin said a little shyly: "My dad asked me to take my stepchild home for the New Year." He said that relatives at home wanted to meet their stepchildren! ”

Song Chen glanced at her thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that you would resolutely not go back?" ”

Zhao Lin stuck out her tongue and said with a sad face: "I really don't want to go back, according to my mother, I am intimidating and begging." I can't help it! ”

Song Chen grinned and said, "To tell you the truth, your mother is expecting our son instead of you!" So if you want to get rid of your troubles, I advise you to send your child over! Of course. This year's New Year is a little different than in previous years, so it's best to go back yourself! If you live with your father-in-law and mother-in-law for a while, it's best to change your stinky temper...... Yes! ”

Song Chen hasn't finished nagging yet. Zhao Lin pinched his arm and said viciously: "You have no conscience, I see that you want to drive me back!" ”

Song Chen let out a painful sigh, but on the surface, he said numbly: "How can it! I'll miss you and the kids! I swear! ”

"Humph! It's better to be like this! ”

……

“…… Last year, 8848's global sales revenue reached 2.89 billion US dollars, of which North America contributed 1.82 billion US dollars, accounting for 63%; Europe was US$670 million, accounting for 23.1%; The Chinese region is 400 million US dollars, accounting for 13.9%! Operating costs were $1.57 billion, and gross margin was 5.59%, but with the rapid expansion of the company's scale, the net loss expanded to $132 million last year! ”

“…… In the past two years, the expansion of the three major business groups in China, the United States and Europe has been very fast, and the current online commodity categories include books/audio-visual products, 3C digital products, footwear and bags, clothing and underwear, and the current increase in life. This year we will solve the problem by investing in logistics on a large scale! It is not excluded that Tongguò Chenxing House Express will merge and acquire existing foreign warehousing resources to avoid the problem of warehousing investment and construction to lengthen the operation of goods! ”

“…… Judging from last year's financial report, Amazon, as the biggest competitor of 8848, has significantly reduced the scale of investment in the past two years, but the total revenue may still exceed 3o billion US dollars, and the merchants who have joined the Amazon platform have contributed a lot! And, judging from last year's extremely narrow net loss, it may be possible to make a profit this year! If we don't slow down, the pressure from investors will be even greater this year! ”

Wang Juntao stood in the conference room to introduce 8848's achievements last year to colleagues of different colors, and there were also high-level executives such as He Yuntao, president of Alibaba Group, the controlling parent company, Mao He, personnel manager, and of course, Song Chen, who was hidden behind the scenes, connected to the other side of the Pacific Ocean through phone and video.

Hearing Wang Juntao's words, Song Chen glanced at him and said quietly: "Go on!" How is the platform opening strategy implemented? ”

Wang Juntao replied: "In terms of traffic cost and efficiency, we have taken advantage of it, so the numbers from Europe and the United States show that the situation is relatively optimistic, and I believe that the participation of these merchants can greatly dilute our investment costs in fixed assets such as technology research, bandwidth and servers; In China, merchants are still generally wait-and-see, even if they cooperate with us, they are only sold as tail goods! ”

"Just be willing to try, step by step, they will taste the sweetness sooner or later!" Song Chen nodded, and then made a summary of Wang Juntao's report, "8848 is not dragged down by heavy assets such as logistics and warehousing [by the parent company." Chenxing Home Express is a subsidiary of Alibaba Group], and it can get cheap traffic from goog1e and Chenxing Network, an asset-light company, unlike Amazon, which has too many bonds, and the continuous expansion of financial losses is indeed unexpected! But this is not a reason for us to back down, on the contrary, we must show a more aggressive side than last year! Although we didn't pull Amazon into the 'arms race' last year, we at least narrowed the distance between us and Amazon in terms of total revenue! I'm sure Bezos will feel a lot of pressure on this! ”

"This year is going to be a big one!" Sun Zhengyang, who also participated in the meeting by phone and video, said thoughtfully.

As senior vice president of Alibaba Group and president of 8848 North America, his achievements have impressed the headquarters. In fact, because Wang Juntao is "trapped" in the Chinese market, he now feels the same helplessness as Zhu Tiejun! If it weren't for Song Chen's belief that China's potential would be even greater. And the demographic dividend has not exploded yet, and he is even going to the United States to control the overall situation in person!

When his colleagues cast a sideways glance, Sun Zhengyang was proud in his heart, but his face looked very calm, and he said: "There has been a news last year, Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren? Warren Buffett has been with Jeff? Bezos contact, although the specific situation is unknown, but judging from the current feedback news, Buffett, who does not understand the technology company, is very likely to lead Jeff? Bezos. I just don't know whether to invest in Amazon in the form of equity investment or provide financing consulting! ”

Song Chen's heart sank, and he thought: Warren in the last life? Warren Buffett's status in China can be described as "thunderous", and the name of "stock god" is not a joke after all! But as far as he knows. Warren Buffett has always been uninterested in technology companies, but this time he contacted Amazon because his "wings" were flapping too much, guiding him to "rethink his investment strategy" and prepare to take a stake in Amazon? Or is it an inherent course of "history". It's puzzling!

If it is the former, this news will not be wonderful for Song Chen, with Buffett's status. Surely it will be able to alleviate Wall Street's long-standing concern for Jeff? Bezos's questioning!

"Either way, Amazon's public opinion environment this year will definitely be much easier than last year! Therefore, 8848's task this year is very heavy: the expansion of the product range cannot be stopped, and even the war can even be considered directly burned to Amazon's back garden: books/audio-visual publications, I believe that 8848 and Amazon are in the ring, which is good news for the publishing giants who have been "bullied" by Amazon! And ......"

Song Chen pondered for a moment, and in the eyes of all the executives, he was only 24 years old and said in a very low but firm tone: "Chenxing Home Express is still the priority goal of meeting the Chinese market, and will not set foot in international capital operation for the time being!" ”

As soon as Song Chen's words fell, the executives of 8848 turned their heads one after another.

Wang Juntao was slightly stunned, but Sun Zhengyang was a little anxious: "Boss, if 8848 does not have its own warehousing in Europe and North America, we will have to lease third-party resources, which is too passive for us!" ”

Song Chen shook his head and said: "If Chenxing Home Express does not enter Europe and the United States, it does not mean that 8848 cannot invest in the logistics operation center by itself!" In China, we have our own investment needs, but in Europe and the United States, we don't need to bear huge investments in logistics, warehousing, information systems, etc. for those short-sighted investors! I'm a businessman, not a good person! ”

Wang Juntao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's true! ”

Sun Zhengyang said with a little worry: "It's just that in this way, the stock price of 8848 may suffer a heavy blow!" Isn't the reason why Amazon is criticized by Wall Street because it invests too much money in fixed assets? ”

"Don't take their noise to heart, you just have to be responsible for me!" Song Chen said lightly, "The stock price of 8848 was previously hit below $1O, although there was the group's capital protection last year, and it is currently maintained at about $11-15, but if it continues, it will damage the image of our company after all!" So if conditions allow, you can privatize 8848 for the future! ”

Privatization? All the high-level executives were taken aback, and their brains were spinning rapidly: is the big boss's mind fishing in troubled waters or entering the market to buy the bottom?

"We have a relationship with logistics giants such as DH1, TNT, UPS, and FedEx to continue to maintain, but we can first spread the news that 8848 is preparing to acquire third-party logistics providers, and wait and see if the capital environment has improved this year!" Song Chen instructed Wang Juntao.

"Yes!"

Then, Song Chen said to He Yuntao and Wu Jiong: "It has been more than a year since Alibaba's e-commerce company acquired Kompass France, and Kompass is still maintaining the original management team, so it's time to merge together!" It's time to go. In the case of ensuring Alibaba's e-commerce company's absolute control over Compass, try to ensure that the French distribution has the same independence as the 8848 North American substation! And then...... It's ready to be listed! It's been more than two years since Chenxing Network rang the bell on NASDAQ, and it's been a long time since the gentlemen of Wall Street have heard us Chenxing people tell stories! ”

Alibaba's e-commerce company is also going public, which is really the biggest tech news of 2oo2! The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly warmed up, and the senior executives of the Taobao department looked at Wu Jiong eagerly, as if they had seen a lover in love.

One is rumoring that he wants to be privatized, and the other is planning to go public, what does the boss want to do? Or, why when the situation is not yet clear?

Wu Jiong nodded excitedly. And He Yuntao thought a little more: it's still ...... Still a temptation?

Song Chen, who always had a gentle smile on his face, making people unable to see his true love, set his eyes on a man with a flat head and a round neck and glasses: "Mr. Ma, although China is big, it can't accommodate two competitors with the same market positioning, so Taobao and Tmall must distinguish the winner and loser this year, at least a phased victory!" ”

Ma Zhishang stood up, his eyes firmly expressed his determination, and said: "I believe that my team will be able to bring you good news soon!" ”

Song Chen nodded and said to He Yuntao: "Old He, you communicate with Yao Hua." You can try to open up the business interface between QQ and 8848 and Taobao! ”

"So fast?" As the first to see how Song Chen's product blueprint is interpreted, He Yuntao certainly knows what role QQ, Baidu, and GOOG1E play in the Chenxing system.

Song Chen smiled: "It's not happy! Of course, the reason why I asked you to prepare is because I intend to do something that has been silent for two years! In the past two years, the competition between Amazon and 8848 has not been very strong. But it's also a coming-and-going! But another e-commerce giant, ebay, has been watching the fire from the other side, watching the jokes from the side, and she put her hand in my back garden, and I haven't talked to Meg yet? Whitman reckoned with it! ”

"Ahh He Yuntao was stunned. "What do you mean?"

Song Chen said lightly: "It's time to open Taobao to the United States!" ”

As a leader in global e-commerce, it is necessary for him to personally confirm what Ma Yun has not tried in the "past", and by the way, fundamentally shake the resistance of Tmall! When Alibaba Group used Taobao's free model as a weapon. Forcefully bring the war to the back garden of ebay, the major shareholder of Tmall.com, Meg? Whitman must have been terrified!

In the hearts of other executives, on the one hand, they should be amazed by Song Chen's majesty, and on the other hand, they will also look sideways at Song Chen's gaze! Dare to love "ebay supports Tmall and Taobao to confront it", and he holds a grudge to this day?

And Ma Zhishang fell into the trouble of happiness: if Taobao was opened to the United States, it would definitely be a top-heavy result at that time, and the distress of colleagues such as Yao Hua, Zhu Tiejun, and Wang Juntao should also be due to him?

……

Just after the New Year, Li Wan took her daughters-in-law to Hong Kong to shop, and went back to her hometown to visit relatives by the way. At this moment, Li Wan's identity has changed qualitatively compared to the past, she is now not only the mother of Song Chen, the seventeenth richest man in the world, she herself has a wealth of billions of dollars, and her identity is extremely prominent, plus there are more people on this trip, Song Chen has to send bodyguards to follow and protect.

Fortunately, Zhuang Murong and Wu Nan can go directly to Hong Kong to meet their mother after they get married, and they are responsible for the security work, which will not make Song Chen worry about their safety.

Zhao Lin also wanted to go to Hong Kong to "shop" for a while, but her mother urged her to be tight, so she reluctantly took Zhao Ji directly to take the flight home from Beiping; Accompanying her was Wang Xiaoxue, who was going to Beiping to attend the shareholders' meeting of "Hongchen Petrochemical"; At the same time, she will also participate in the opening ceremony of Zhongchen Mining, which has just completed the capital injection of 100 million yuan!

Whether it is Hongchen Petrochemical or Zhongchen Mining, they all carry the word "Chen", in front of global public opinion, this is the respect of shareholders for Song Chen, and there is also a spiritual hint that Song Chen's intuition on the industry judgment hopes to be recognized by the capital market!

Yin Jinghe did not take the same flight as Zhao Lin and Wang Xiaoxue, but stayed at Song Chen's request. Since Li Wan and Zhang Ruoxi took seven or eight women to Hong Kong to play, the house has suddenly become a lot empty, and without the people who are restrained, Song Chen has revealed his evil nature.

At night, when everything is quiet, he will ask his beloved woman to wear sexy pajamas, and then leave "traces of love" in every corner of the palace-like villa; Or in the luxurious and exquisite multi-functional entertainment hall, have an uncovered meeting with the women you love - this was originally a privilege on Song Chen's birthday, but now it is staged in advance!

Yin Jinghe thought to herself: What an unpredictable man! (To be continued......)
