Chapter 11: Panda Diplomacy
When the two little guys saw the panda doll, their eyes widened, "Wow, what a cute baby!" Thank you uncle! Excitedly, he took two dolls from Chen Bo's hands and hugged them into his arms, for fear of being snatched by others.
"Boss, I don't know where to see pandas? Harley and I love it too, oh my god, these babes are so cute! You know, it's very troublesome to see pandas in the United States, and you have to wait in a long line, and you have to take a photo and leave. Williams, who was standing on the side, said with some envy at this time.
Chen Bo was speechless for a while, wasn't he? It's just that children like pandas, and you, a big man, still have a heart for a little princess.
At this time, the foreigners who walked down in the car one after another did not say hello to Chen Bo, the boss, but instead gathered around the two children and stared at the panda doll in their hands, muttering something, there was no shortage of slang from Nordic countries, and Chen Bo didn't understand it very well. I saw Jimmy and Ina hide behind Harley, and the doll in their arms was even stronger.
"Hey, Boss, can we go see the panda before we work?" A handsome little guy with blond hair and blue eyes showed a tiger tooth to Chen Bo, followed by a group of echoing voices.
I'm going, are you guys here to travel or to work! Why don't I usually go to the zoo when I don't think the pandas are so cute, but they are all dirty, but the panda pavilion in each zoo is undoubtedly the most attractive place for people.
"We'll make sure we work hard, boss!" Williams chimed in.
Chen Bo groaned slightly, there are no giant pandas in Pengcheng Zoo now, his memory is that he only introduced Panda No. 1 from the Wolong Panda Base in 04, alias Yongba, and finally died in Pengcheng at the age of 25, which is also a hundred years old in the panda world.
Other than that, you can only go to the Xiangjiang Safari Park in the southern suburbs of Yangcheng. After all, as the capital of China's largest economic province, the zoo has relatively high specifications, and it only takes two or three hours to drive to the highway.
Looking at their expectant expressions, Chen Bo had no choice but to say, "You first visit the office environment, and then arrange for you to rest, adjust the jet lag, and start working after seeing the panda!" β
After the establishment of the company, in addition to organizing an annual meeting, there are no other activities, just spring has arrived, simply take a day off collectively, all go to the spring outing, can not favor one over the other.
Chen Bo announced his decision, and a group of foreigners were very excited, clapped their hands and cheered, and followed Liu Yuan and Zhang Yiming to visit the office, but the topic of discussion in their mouths was always inseparable from the giant panda.
Unexpectedly, diplomacy is inseparable from that cute goods, and work is also inseparable from it. If you give me 500 pandas, will you be able to conquer the whole earth?
After settling the group of people, Liu Yuan contacted the travel agency to arrange a day's itinerary. Chen Bo didn't forget to talk to Brother Xiao Ma and Mo Fei, and the first spring outing of the whole group was set out collectively. I chose Saturday, it doesn't matter if I come back late on the same day, I can take a break the next day and Sunday and then go to work on Monday without delay.
After Chen Bo sent an internal email to all employees in the name of the board of directors, the efficiency of work has improved a lot, and everyone is naturally very happy. After the establishment of Pangu Technology Group, in order to facilitate the contact, settlement and approval between various companies. Specially purchased ERP enterprise management software from UFIDA, and it is very convenient to work online paperless, which is a non-customized version.
In the future, when you have to free up your hands, you still have to develop a set of management software suitable for the group, which is also more convenient to operate. However, Chen Bo still really misses the era of smart phones, you can work anytime and anywhere by installing an APP, how can you use it so troublesome now.
But it is a step from computer office to mobile phone office, it will take nearly ten years to realize, and no one knows what Pangu Technology Group can develop into at that time, and Chen Bo does not know!
Distant Yanjing City, in the office of the chairman of Lenovo Group.
"Linan, how is the progress of the case you did last time?"
Lenovo founder and family member Liu Chuanzhi asked Zhu Linan on the sofa.
"The other party's company has just formed a Pangu Technology Holding Group, and it has already given me news, and the board of directors has also approved the A round of financing plan of the beautiful music network, and I am ready to go over in the next few days to finalize the final plan." Zhu Linan replied respectfully.
"Yuanqing, what do you think of this plan?" Liu Chuanzhi didn't express any opinions, and asked directly to the current CEO Yang Yuanqing, who is his most optimistic successor, if Lenovo is his daughter, then Yang Yuanqing is like his son-in-law.
"At present, the development speed of personal PCs is still very strong, and the gross profit margin is very considerable. But I think that in the future, the mainstream digital products will be smaller and smaller, and the integration will be higher and higher, and the profit of a single machine will definitely be no problem surpassing that of a PC. I believe in Linan's vision! β
Yang Yuanqing gave Zhu Linan an an encouraging look, and now the entire Lenovo Group is divided into three, Yang Yuanqing is in charge of PCs and servers, Guo Wei is in charge of Digital China, but Zhu Linan is carrying 35 million US dollars to start a new business, and he has not gotten any of Lenovo's superior resources.
Compared with Yang Guo and the others, although Zhu Li came late, he also paid a lot. But he took the initiative to withdraw from the internal power struggle, although he had the intention of challenging himself, but he also gained the friendship of Yang Guo and the two.
Yanagawa Shimichi said, "You're right, personal PCs are like televisions, and there will be a day when cabbage will be sold." Personal digital and office equipment can also bring considerable profits to the group in the future. You might as well take this company as a pilot for personal consumption digital products, and you can allocate some resources to support it. β
Yang Yuanqing nodded and said that there is no problem, in terms of the technical reserves of hardware manufacturers, Huawei is stronger than Lenovo in China. However, Huawei basically does not do the domestic market, its main business is all overseas, and he does network communication equipment, directly challenging the position of industry giants Cisco and Alcatel-Lucent.
"This is the first investment, and I promise that the Lenovo brand will also be able to make this banner in the investment community!" Zhu Linan saw that they had no doubts, so he patted his chest and packed the ticket.
Liu Chuanzhi said with a smile: "Even if you lose, you are not afraid, if you don't fail, how can you find experience for future success." Now it's up to you young people to become the chairman of the board of directors of a group at the age of 21. In the future, this son will either become a demon or become a god. β
Chen Bo, who was far away in Pengcheng, sneezed twice in succession, and said in his heart, whose big girl is this missing me? Zhou Xun's contract has been resolved, and he spent two million to buy out, and it is estimated that he is now on the crew, and he has no time to pay attention to him.
Naturally, he would not have thought that he would be mentioned by a senior executive from Lenovo, but the competitor he was about to meet with was indeed a competitor from Lenovo, and he was also the representative of IBM Greater China, the giant blue giant in the industry.
Of course, the comer came to win the server order of Pangu Technology Group, and IBM's server is not to be said, the quality is very good, but the cost price is also the most expensive. Not to mention the domestic ones, at least Dell and HP are the first grade than him, and the domestic Lenovo and Wave are going down a notch.
The big server consumers currently have two companies in the group, Tengxun and Pangu Search, and Dingdong will also need to use a large number of servers in the future, if it is a video sharing website, it will be another sky-high server.
Of course, IBM came here this time to maintain a good hospitality relationship, no matter how you develop in the future, as long as you are still engaged in the Internet industry, you will never be able to bypass IBM. But Chen Bo still feels that the cost is too high, the server is a high-end version of the computer, and the loss rate of the replacement is faster than the computer, basically 24 hours a day, and the cost of update and maintenance is not small.
The approach that Chen Bo has been taking is that the core server uses IBM, and other text servers use domestic Inspur or Lenovo, which can at least control the cost. Although the service quality and technology of domestic products are poor, it can be regarded as supporting domestic products.
With Chen Bo's current level, it is naturally impossible for the other party to send executives to talk to him, it is just a normal visit activity, talk about it, get acquainted with each other, make an emotional investment, and hand over a piece of information.
As soon as Saturday arrived, seven buses carrying excited group employees drove to the Xiangjiang Safari Park, in order to let the foreigners quickly get familiar with the whole company, all their seats were dispersed, two Chinese with a foreigner, as a tour guide or nonsense, is to let them integrate into the environment faster.
These foreigners are also very curious, especially when they say that a QQ has more than 20 million users, and their mouths can break through the sky.
You must know that the instant messaging tool ICQ developed by three Israelis, that is, the object of QQ's imitation back then, was sold to the American AOL Group for $407 million when it accumulated 1 million users.
And how much is this chat tool with 20 million users worth? And it's still in barren China, how can it not be surprising. However, what Chen Bo wants is this effect, to shock you first, and then let them put away their contempt, and don't underestimate the strength of the Pangu Group.
They went to play, but Chen Bo stayed. Because Ye Tianhao's electronic communication factory has already made an engineering machine, he specially brought it to Chen Bo to show him if there is anything that needs to be improved.
It's not that he hasn't been to the zoo before, and Chen Bo is not very interested in it, so it is better to take a look and see what kind of moth Ye Tianhao has made.
Just look at the phone shell, there is nothing outstanding, a gray flip phone, a blue screen of 1.5 inches. The function menu of the sky network and mobile QQ has also been added,There is nothing wrong with the whole machine,It's more mediocre,It's not obviousγ
"What do you think? Give me an opinion! Ye Tianhao was very concerned about Chen Bo's opinion, and when he saw him playing with it for a while, he asked anxiously.
Chen Bo tilted his head and glanced at him, and said in his heart, boy! Seeing that you are usually tepid and always look like a smirk, it turns out that you also have times when you are anxious.
