Chapter 116: Strategic Significance
"Even if you don't hang banners, you have to arrange some more people, why just the three of you? What about that Chen Bo, you let him come out! The man said impatiently. It would be your pleasure to come here to inspect it, and if there are still a few of you in two minutes, the Prime Minister will leave immediately. ”
"I'm the Chen Bo you're looking for, I don't know if that's what you mean or what the prime minister means?" Chen Bo's donkey temper also came up, and he choked directly, you just pointed at it as soon as you came, you really think of yourself as an uncle, if your temper is better, it's okay, but you just open and close your mouth are domineering, how can people stand it?
Not to mention that the prime minister has just taken office, this matter will definitely not support you even on the surface, so he dares to speak like this. Most of the employees here are foreigners, and all of them are masters who are not powerful people, so I can't do this kind of formalism anymore?
Chen Bo has no habit of pulling banners and hanging slogans in Pengcheng or Shanghai companies, and it is better to do his part honestly than to have the time to be sycophant, so he is extremely disgusted with the person in front of him.
"Xiao Jiang, what's going on, is there any problem?" The black window fell, revealing a kind face, which was none other than Premier Weng, who was newly appointed this year.
"Prime Minister, this ......" The man came up indiscriminately and played official power, and he didn't figure it out and was scolded, but it was not easy to explain if he kept up.
"Hello, Prime Minister! I'm Bo Chen, welcome to Ant Search North America, and I'm just explaining to Mr. Jiang that our security measures are very well arranged. And we will show you the real working conditions of our company later. Chen Bo took a step forward and directly blocked the man's words, leaving a good impression first, even if you chew the root of your tongue behind your back, you will only fall behind.
"That's good, I'm still very relieved about your security." The man in black stepped forward to protect the left and right, opened the car door, and the prime minister got out of the car, and then said, "Jiang Fan, you are the new consul general of San Francisco, and you will represent our China in the future." Although Xiao Chen is young, he is an American expert, so if there is any problem here, you need to communicate more! Unite all the Chinese in San Francisco, safeguard the national interests, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of our citizens! ”
"Yes, yes, as it should be." Jiang Fan nodded yes, but the afterglow that glanced at Chen Bo in his eyes was not very kind.
But Chen Bo didn't bother to take care of it, even the embassy couldn't take care of his head, what did he do!
"Next, I'm going to trouble Xiao Chen to introduce me here." The prime minister is kind and pleasant, and generally like this, when he inspects the industries of his own people abroad, most of them are to express the importance of some motherland, and by the way, to convey a spirit of coming out to the country, which is mainly the role of propaganda.
"No problem, this is Red Hoffman, president of our company's North American region." Chen Bo pulled the fat man next to him and introduced, and he was a translator in the middle.
After a brief greeting, he led a group of people into the building, and the domestic reporters who followed him also set up cameras and began to shoot.
The real-time search data of the large screen, the creative office, the advertising planning of the DoubleClick project department, and the Internet brand laboratory were all displayed and introduced one by one. Compared with Pengcheng, there are still a lot less interesting things here, after all, this is only a part of it, and it cannot cover all project products.
After all, the prime minister is not a computer major, and he also listens and asks questions, and occasionally has to get started. will also pull an employee to shush the cold and ask for warmth to show care.
Until lunchtime, the meal naturally had to be solved in the cafeteria. It's not safe to go out to eat, and the accompanying security personnel have already checked the food safety, which is not sloppy.
"I didn't expect your lunch here to be very rich, better than the canteens of state-owned enterprises." The prime minister took the dinner plate himself, chose a few light Chinese side dishes, and filled a bowl of pumpkin porridge, found a random place to sit down, and said with a smile, "If only all companies had benefits like yours." ”
"That's not easy to achieve, the Internet industry is a high-value-added, high-profit industry, and these costs are not worth mentioning. It would be unbearable for traditional industries with already low profits to spend so much effort to improve these benefits. Chen Bo explained.
"Yes, the state is now vigorously supporting such a high-tech industry, and it is definitely not enough to just be in the nest, but also to come out boldly. Although China has joined the WTO and the market is freer, the labor-intensive traditional industries have been hit by a considerable impact, and we should strive to innovate and seek reform and find new economic growth points. "With porridge and side dishes, facing not only Chen Bo, but also the camera next to him, the prime minister also opened the conversation." Ant's achievements are now obvious to all, using the advantages of the Internet to build a bridge of economic and trade transactions between China and the world. ”
"Ali is doing a better job than us in this area, and they are a little bit more professional in business." Chen Bo said with a humble heart, I am just a porter of network data, how can I be so tall.
"Young people should be humble when they should be humble, and they should be proud when they should be proud!" The prime minister changed his words and said, "Ant Search is a banner of our high-tech industry overseas, and we must be bigger, better and stronger." When the Prime Minister of Singapore visited China last month, he specifically mentioned to me that Chinese entrepreneurs are very welcome to invest, and there are many preferential policies, which are all due to your façade! ”
Singapore again? Japan's Ambassador Wang mentioned it once, and the prime minister mentioned it again, and it seems that the strategic significance of this small country is very great.
As for what façade he said, he still didn't believe it, whoever has a good economy in this country will kneel and lick whomever he wants. In the past, for the sake of British and American investment, they went to Sinicization, but now China's economic growth rate is fast enough, and after the Asian financial crisis was hit hard, they are shy to invest in the mainland, and they need high-tech industries, but it is estimated that it has not reached such an urgent point.
"Yes, the company's strategic plan for the coming year is also considering moving the center of Southeast Asia to Singapore, which is more convenient." Chen Bo couldn't refute it directly, so he replied.
It's not okay not to go now, so let's go over and see what treasures are hidden in this projectile land.
Aside from a few high-sounding words, there was no more nutrition to talk about, and the prime minister and his entourage had to rush to their next destination, Mexico, and then to Africa. The itinerary is very intense, coming and going like the wind, as for what is left? He didn't have any clear answers in his mind.
Christmas in 03 is coming soon, recalling that he came to Silicon Valley alone three years ago and defrauded tens of millions from Jobs, if it weren't for the current development of this fund, it would never have been so rapid, and I really have to thank Joe for recuperating in the hospital bed after surgery.
But there is still much to be done, and since it is the biggest festival in Christendom, there is something to be done.
Ant Search has temporarily opened a wishing wall, and will pick the lucky ones to fulfill his Christmas wishes and send him blessings on Christmas Eve. This campaign is aimed at the countries that can be covered by ant search, and anyone will have a chance, if you are in India or Africa, it is no problem.
Those requirements that are too outrageous will definitely be ignored directly, mainly for children and teenagers, and the person who gives the gift is the spokesperson of Ant Public Welfare, and they will choose to choose the gift delivery nearby, which can not only earn enough eyeballs but also win favor.
"Google made an offer to Picasa?" Ant cooperates with many corporate consulting agencies in the United States, and although the news may not be the fastest, it can always smell the clues of its opponents.
"About $35 million." Alyssa replied.
"yes, I see."
Even if I don't buy it, I have to disgust you, Chen Bo thought in his heart and dialed Depp's phone and asked him to absorb some Picasa shares in the stock market, not only to raise the stock price, but also to make a small profit, which is in his interests.
Picasa is an image viewer software, and it also has a fee. Google's move is also in line with his idea. The pattern of web search is still formed, but local desktop search is still relatively blank, and pictures are the easiest to enter.
If Google adds its own search engine after the acquisition, and then turns the fee into free, relying on its own market dominance, it can quickly break ground.
But Chen Bo won't let them realize their wish so quickly, you can imagine, why shouldn't I? In addition to secretly absorbing the stock himself, he also released the news to News Corp. Since the launch of the company with Wendy Deng, the two companies have formed an alliance, and the top news categories of Ant Search have always been the Wall Street Journal, Fox News, and The Times. Of course, the cost is not less, how can there be a reason to help for free.
After some hype from News Corp., Picasa's stock price is sorry for Google's offer if it doesn't go crazy.
On the other hand, Chen Bo secretly contacted Acd, which also belongs to Canada, ACDSee, a powerful picture editing and processing software, although it is definitely weak compared with PS, but it is convenient to operate, and the user base is relatively large.
At this time, the two sides invariably chose to draw their knives in the field of desktop search, and it depends on who can come out on top in the end, and who will die!
But before that, he still has to make a few big news, otherwise how can it be a good holiday, after all, employees also have to take a decent holiday, and see relatives and friends also have bragging capital, if there is no show-off talking point, wouldn't it be ashamed of Chen Bo's news maker.
On December 20th, five days before Christmas, a grand press conference was held at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel next to New York Park. Chen Bo once again appeared in the public eye, this is also the first time to see Murdoch, an old Australian man, in the presence of many reporters in the prepared contract documents signed his name to officially announce the MySpace website changed hands, the transaction price of 1.99 billion US dollars, in the few days left at the end of the year, refreshed Yahoo's acquisition of overture 1.75 billion US dollars transaction price to win the annual bid.
News Corp.'s stock index on the Nasdaq rose sharply the next day, and at the same time, it also stimulated other Internet concept stocks, and even Xilang and NetE were wiped out. A Yahoo's frequent big buys are nothing because they have the money in the first place.
However, the acquisition of a network project by a traditional industry means that the second spring of the Internet industry has officially arrived.
