668. Strategy
"Is the message accurate?" Ning Xueqing asked.
Everyone looked at Huo Bufan, hoping to get a definite answer. More precisely, they want an answer that is not accurate enough.
"It's very accurate, including the new Ji family, many companies have received acquisition applications, and the other party's bid is not low." Huo Bufan said.
Ning Xueqing frowned, she knew the relationship between Ji Xiangning and Huo Bufan. If there is really foreign capital to deal with New Hope, it will definitely investigate the relevant matters.
They knew that Ji Xiangning and Huo Bufan had a good relationship, but they still sent out an acquisition application, on the one hand, they may have deliberately sent such a provocative signal. Tell New Hope that we are here and that we are ready.
On the other hand, the amount of foreign capital is really scary, which is why it is so fearless.
Ning Xueqing looked at Jian Sisi and asked, "Is there a company in the system that reports these things?" ”
Jian Sisi shook her head and said, "No." ”
Ning Xueqing's brows furrowed even tighter, and the expressions of the others were somewhat ugly.
If it is really like Huo Bufan said, there are many companies that have received acquisition applications, why no one has reported it?
Only Ji Xiangning told Huo Bufan about this in private, what does this mean?
Is it because the penetration of foreign capital is too strong, or is it because these companies are shaking?
Either way, it's not good news for New Hope.
In everyone's hearts, there was suddenly pressure, and their expressions became much more serious. They all realized that this was a different kind of confrontation, and perhaps in terms of the proportion of funds, it was not as good as the previous one of the Huo family.
But if it's only more dangerous, it may be much more than that.
"What are you going to do?" Ning Xueqing looked at Huo Bufan and asked.
It is impossible for Ning Xueqing to make her own decisions about a major matter of this level, even if she discusses it with the rest of the company, she feels that it is unreliable. Only if Huo Bufan comes up with an opinion will he be recognized by everyone.
Huo Bufan had already thought of the relevant strategy, and said: "At present, we must first maintain stability within the system. Even if a few companies are acquired, as long as the megatrends are not disrupted, there is no problem. But the problem is that we are now at a turning point in our own right, and time is of the essence for us. We need a lot of money to ensure the continuous recommendation of the three key projects, which is the basis for New Hope to reach the top in the future. So, we probably don't have a lot of money to fight them. If it is still like when fighting against the Huo family, it is very unrealistic to spend a lot of money to subsidize the companies in the system. ”
Many people couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this, and when they fought with the Huo family, New Hope took out a lot of money to subsidize other companies.
But at that time, the scale of funds was not large, and it was only tens of billions when it was fully calculated.
But now, the amount of funds gathered by foreign capital is calculated in terms of 10 trillion yuan, which is hundreds or thousands of times higher than before!
The number of companies in the New Hope system has also increased from less than 100 at that time to nearly 300 today. The overall scale of funds has increased I don't know how many times.
If you still make up for it like before, how much money do you have to come up with?
Even if it is only pasted by one-third, it is conservatively estimated that it is more than five trillion.
Does New Hope have that much money?
No!
Even if there is, it must not be wasted on confrontation with foreign capital.
The five trillion yuan of funds did not come out of nowhere, once it was wasted, the three projects did not know the Year of the Monkey before they could produce results.
Everyone looked at Huo Bufan, looking forward to his follow-up words, because they knew that they couldn't think of a way to break the game, and only this man could create miracles!
Huo Bufan continued: "It is precisely because we do not have enough financial support that we must not sit still. In the past, we always played a defensive counterattack strategy, but this time, we have to take the initiative! ”
Ning Xueqing looked at him in astonishment and said, "Take the initiative?" This doesn't work, our funds are completely on par with each other, how can we fight? ”
"When I said the initiative, I didn't want to confront them head-on, but to use a roundabout strategy to encircle Wei and save Zhao, you should have all heard of it, right?" Huo Bufan asked.
During the Warring States Period, Wei besieged Handan, the capital of Zhao. Zhao Guo begged for help from Qi State. Qi generals Tian Ji and Sun Bin led an army to rescue Zhao, and took advantage of the emptiness of the capital of Wei to lead troops to attack Wei directly. The Wei army came to the rescue, and the Qi army took advantage of its exhaustion to defeat the Wei army in the middle of the way, and then relieved the siege of Zhao.
Many people have heard this historical story, but they don't understand what Huo Bufan means by taking out this historical story at this moment.
"My meaning is very simple, it is unrealistic to confront foreign capital head-on. But you must be clear about one thing, and that is that foreign capital is also made up of individual enterprises. We need to split up these foreign capitals, and not treat them as a whole, as scattered individuals. Then find out the most critical and most deterrent companies to carry out precision strikes. Only in this way can the offensive rhythm of foreign capital be delayed and even distracted! Huo Bufan said.
The eyes of everyone listening to it lit up, and the foreign capital was split?
They are all "battle-hardened" old men, and they know very well how business wars are fought.
Huo Bufan's words, they understood as soon as they heard them.
If foreign capital is a whole, then an offensive of this scale can be said to be invincible in the world.
But if you think of them as a group of individuals, the pressure is much less.
When you attack the most critical and cohesive company, it's like when you're besieged by a group of people, as long as you find the person they respect the most and put a knife to the heart of the other person, no one will dare to act rashly.
Even if they want to do something, they have to think twice.
This is the best strategy to deal with when there are many enemies and you are at a disadvantage.
But then Jian Sisi raised a new question: "Even if we can theoretically split the foreign capital, it is not easy to attack their weak points, right?" The capital companies that dare to launch an attack on New Hope at such a time are not weak, at least with assets of more than 100 billion US dollars. If you want to bring down such a company, I am afraid that it will not work in a short time. ”
"I think it's still feasible." Ning Haobin said suddenly.
Everyone looked over, Ning Haobin didn't have any apprehension and uneasiness on his face, he thought about it, and said: "Thanks to the relationship between the VR virtual world, we currently have a lot of fame all over the world. Whether our main business products, logistics and distribution, etc., have been laid in predetermined strategic points around the world. And the preparation work made by these prerequisites can now be used. It's just that we need to transform these branches, which were originally intended to be used for the main business and distribution business, into strongholds used to crack down on foreign capital. Rely on these strongholds to carry out counter-encirclement and suppression against the other side. ”
"But it's their home turf, and our strategic point has only just been established, so we don't have the capital to compete with them. It will take at least a few years to form combat effectiveness. Someone questioned.
"You're right, this is also our biggest problem at present, how to form a combat force that can resist the enemy in the shortest possible time!" Ning Haobin looked at Huo Bufan and said, "I can't think of it, I can only ask the boss to give an answer, I believe that you must have thought of a solution." ”
To be honest, although Ning Haobin did not propose a final solution, it was already commendable that he could think of this step. This is enough to show that Ning Haobin's own strategic vision is second to none in the company.
Even Jian Sisi may be inferior to him.
After everyone's attention shifted, Huo Bufan said: "The answer to the question is actually not difficult, do you know what is the biggest advantage we have over foreign capital now?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, and after a while, Ning Xueqing hesitated and asked, "Is it traffic?" ”
"That's right! It's traffic! Huo Bufan nodded and said: "In this era, everyone knows that traffic is king. With traffic, any business can be done. Our strategic point is indeed very weak, and it is difficult to confront the other side head-on. But why should we go head-to-head with each other? ”
