Connaught Road, Central, LEIT Group Building.

Lin Zuhui listened to the work report of President Chen Shiwen in the office.

For LEIT Group, Lin Zuhui has always been personally involved in the work, planning a lot of business plans and development directions. To put it bluntly, Lin Zuhui is also moved by a change of management.

"This year, the Xtep sports brand should steadily exceed one billion sales, and the profit is also expected to exceed 1 billion." Chen Shiwen reported.

Lin Zuhui asked: "How many spokespersons does Xtep have now?" ”

Chen Shiwen thought for a while and said: "Seven, four mainland sports stars, three entertainment stars. Including Kong Linghui, Sun Wen, Liu Xiang, Zhang Yining, Nicholas Tse....... Speaking of which, our endorsements are low-cost and effective. ”

Lin Zuhui nodded, Liu Xiang was signed by Xtep for 7 years with 2.5 million when he was the first World University Champion in 2001 (I can get 3~5 percent). Xtep's annual endorsement fee is less than 5 million a year, which is very cost-effective.

Among them, signing Liu Xiang, I am afraid that it will be the most cost-effective deal, in the previous life, Nike signed a contract in 2002 and only spent 500,000, once he won the most valuable gold medal in China in 2004, it will be 5 million a year.

"What is the ownership of Xtep's stores in the mainland?" Lin Zuhui asked.

"Directly operated stores account for 60%, franchisees account for 40%, and the goods of franchisees are distributed by dealers."

Lin Zuhui thought about it, although Xtep is not a listed company, its parent company LEIT Group is a giant enterprise with a market value of more than 30 billion yuan, and it is a company with seriously undervalued assets.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the Xtep brand has focused on the development of directly-operated stores, and the proportion of 60% of directly-operated stores is definitely far less than that of domestic brands.

Directly operated stores have the advantage of direct stores, that is, the management can keep up; Franchise stores also have the advantage of franchise stores, that is, they can complete the expansion quickly and at the lowest cost.

However, once it comes to the era of Internet shopping, then the benefits of direct stores can be reflected; Even, it is better to acquire all the dealers and indirectly control the franchise stores.

Lin Zuhui also knows that in the previous life, domestic brands experienced a watershed in 2012, that is, too much inventory; This is also one of the reasons why Xtep, 360, and Hongxing Erke lag behind Anta and Li Ning.

Of course, Anta also has the synergistic effect of the Fila brand, and has become the leader of domestic sports brands step by step.

"What do you think of Fila joining the LEIT Group?" Lin Zuhui asked suddenly.

Chen Shiwen's eyes jumped, and his heart also jumped.

Fila is now worth at least $2 billion, equivalent to nearly half of the market value of the LEIT Group.

"Fila has just risen, and it is too early to join the LEIT Group, so we can first let the Xtep brand and Fila have some cooperation in the Greater China business. When the time comes, it's never too late to think about it. Chen Shiwen suppressed his impulse and said seriously.

Fila returned to the pinnacle of Jiuqi with 'coconut shoes', and then went one step further with 'Tianzu technology', and its spokespersons have shown their strength, which is even more unstoppable.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the management skills of the management of the Bank of Bahrain and Fila, coupled with the command of a legendary businessman behind it, surpassed Reebok in the last two years. Currently, Reebok is worth $3 billion.

At present, Fila used to mainly sign tennis stars, but now basketball and football are very involved.

This year, Fila signed NBA No. 6 rookie Wade for 7 years for 28 million, and signed Yao Ming for 50 million US dollars for 7 years, which can be described as a big move.

Coupled with Gasol, Parker, Arenas, Stoudemire, Ronaldo, and Messi, who have been signed earlier, it can be described as a pool of talents at present.

As for the cost, they are all cheaper, of course, only relative to their future performance.

For the time being, it may be several times overestimated, after all, Fila aims to sign them, and no matter how high the price is, it will be recognized.

Like Ronaldo and Messi, they have reached the level of tens of millions of dollars, which is an annual income, and James is at the same level.

"Well, you have a point, Fila's prospects are not inferior to the entire Leit Group, and we have to think about the merger." Lin Zuhui said seriously.

Even, even if Fila is incorporated into the LEIT Group system, it is still a professional manager model, and the LEIT Group will not intervene too much.

......

In late August, Lin Zuhui's private jet took off from Xiangjiang and flew towards the United States.

On the plane, the three daughters of Jiahui, Qiu Shuzhen, and Lin Zixia, as well as their five sons and one daughter, happened to be back to the United States. These women are running at both ends of California and Xiangjiang, and they also organize groups to travel all year round, which is very chic.

The important thing is that they have a lot of wealth in their own hands and do not need to ask for help.

In the living room on the second floor, Lin Zuhui and the three daughters sat together, and the children went to the entertainment room to play games and watch DVDs, which was very happy.

"How much did you all earn this time?" Lin Zuhui asked with a smile.

"20 billion, a 10-fold increase, this oil speculation is really profitable!" Guan Jiahui said unsatisfactorily.

"The gold futures I invested in have not been sold, and the current book assets have also made a profit of 5 times, earning 1 billion." Qiu Shuzhen said excitedly. I saw that this woman was wearing a red sundress, the snow white of the bear's mouth and the hook tunnel were extremely conspicuous, this woman has always been very beautiful, the key is to endure loneliness, and has always been the woman behind Lin Zuhui, few people outside know Lin Zuhui's room.

Lin Zixia spread her hands and said, "I don't have my share!" But he didn't care at all, and he didn't dare to care.

She has always held 2~3% of the shares of TSMC, Hon Hai and MediaTek, and then invested in some real estate in the United States, and also has a small amount of real estate investment in Taiwan Island and Xiangjiang.

According to TSMC's current market value of $41 billion (Taiwan Island and the United States are listed at the same time), her net worth is as high as 10 billion Hong Kong dollars with this investment alone. Of course, the market value of Hon Hai and MediaTek is much lower.

In any case, Lin Zixia and Wang Zuxian, plus Lin Zhilin and Lin Xinru, these women hold Taiwan stocks (and Formosa Plastics), and they don't need to think about creating a career for them, and they don't want to work hard.

"Okay, don't worry about my investment in the future!" Lin Zuhui said with a smile.

When Guan Jiahui heard this, she was favored, and immediately sat in Lin Zuhui's arms and became coquettish.

"Honey, didn't you say we would have a chance to become billionaires? I'm not asking you for money, I'm just going to point us out later..... Children listen to you so much......"

Lin Zuhui listened to the woman's broken thoughts, and he was in a very good mood.

There is nothing wrong with women liking money, and Lin Zuhui also likes to give women money and share risks.

Lin Zixia shook her head, and after Guan Jiahui finished speaking, she teased her: "Wealth is lost!" ”

Guan Jiahui responded: "He is the God of Wealth, I am a fan of Wealth, what is there!" ”

Lin Zuhui interrupted in time: "Hold the stocks in your hands steadily, and when the children grow up, they will naturally increase in value several times, or even more than ten times, in short, just listen to my arrangement." As for investment properties, I'll always give you advice. ”

Guan Jiahui saw that Lin Zuhui was serious, and immediately stopped talking and was no longer worried.

Of course, she was thinking in her heart, if she kept 0.9% of Apple's stock, would she become a billionaire? The market value of this company is only more than 9 billion US dollars, how many times does it have to rise?

However, the majority shareholder of this company is his own man, so the prospects must be very good!

Lin Zuhui asked Guan Jiahui, Qiu Shuzhen, Li Jiaxin, Li Zi, and Monica to hold 0.5%~0.9% of Apple stocks and Microsoft stocks.

As for the Apple stock in his hand, there is still about 10% of it, and he will continue to cash out until it is all emptied. Of course, he will buy another 2% of the shares from the secondary market through a diversified, offshore approach.

Although there is a lot of tax paid in the middle, for the market value of 2~3 trillion in the future, that tax is nothing.

........

Martin Eberhard returned to the company somewhat disappointed, and was greeted by his partner Mark Tarpenning.

】

"Hey man, it doesn't seem good to look at your expression!" Mark said.

Martin nodded and said, "I went to register the 'Tesla Motors' brand and was told that someone had already registered the trademark and name a year ago, so I ......."

Mark clasped his head with his hands and said incredulously, "Oh my God, this is a bad thing, we've been thinking about it for a long time!" By the way, why did the other party register 'Tesla Motors', is it a traditional oil car, or a motorcycle? ”

"Nonono is an electric vehicle developer and a foreign-owned R&D center in the United States. It is said that it is an electric vehicle brand invested by Huaxia's Xiaomi Technology. ”

"Watts, are you sure it's not them working on electric motorcycles? Electric vehicles are not what they should study at the level of science and technology! ”

"You can't be wrong, I inquired, they have recruited more than 30 R&D personnel in the United States in the past year; Moreover, their R&D headquarters is in Huaxia. It is said that the investment has exceeded $10 million. ”

"It's unbelievable that we don't even have $1 million. But don't be discouraged, we've got the results of AC Propulsion's early developments, and we just need to polish the details. ”

Martin nodded, and his confidence was greatly increased.

It turns out that electric cars have a long history in the United States:

[In 1991, General Motors developed the EV-1 and put it on the market as the first mass-produced electric car, which was not good-looking, with a range of 140 kilometers, due to the low input-output ratio, after producing more than 2,000 units, General Motors announced its abandonment in 2002. The incident brought General Motors a bad name, and a documentary titled "Who Killed the Electric Car" made the matter even more popular. Afterwards, Al Kocconi, an engineer involved in the EV-1 project, founded AC Propulsion, an electric vehicle company in California, and produced the T-Zero, a lead-acid battery car for only one person.

When AC Propulsion was in trouble, Martin Eberhard, an engineer from Silicon Valley, invested $150,000 in it. In exchange, he wants Koconi to try to power the T-Zero with the lithium batteries of thousands of laptops. After switching to a lithium-ion battery, the T-ZERO has a driving range of more than 480 km. Eberhard persuaded AC Propulsion to build him such a car, but Koconi had no intention of setting up a car company. Eberhard decided to come on his own. 】

That is to say, at present, electric vehicles have appeared, but in the details, they still need to be slowly polished, from manufacturing details to cost, it is a long-term project.

In the previous life, it took Tesla five years to launch its first electric car, and the price was as high as $120,000, and it was almost on the verge of bankruptcy; Because of this price, customers besieged Musk.

.......

Zou Kaixuan took Tesla President Du Mingtang to find Al Coccony, the owner of AC Propulsion.

"What? Do you want to buy all the EV technology in my hands? Al Coconi said in surprise.

Zou Kaixuan nodded and said, "Yes!" In fact, we have also had some successful research and development in the past six months, and we can initially use lithium batteries as the power of cars. However, we still want to get your knowledge of the technology and verify it with each other. As you know, this technology is just in its infancy for electric vehicles, and it will take a huge amount of money to make it a reality. ”

Al Coconi nodded, he didn't think the technology was great, after all, if it was, he had already joined Martin's entrepreneurial team.

"No problem, what price are you willing to give!" People die for money, birds die for food, and Al Coconi also wants to make a profit.

"$300,000 to buy all the technology of your 480-kilometer car!"

Al Coconi smiled and said, "You're a big business, this price is too cheap, I want $800,000." ”

"Deal! But we need to verify it! ”

Al Corconi was stunned for a moment, and his feelings were lowered, but he was not a shameless person, so he approved the deal.

When the two parties completed the transaction in the presence of lawyers, El Coconi was in a good mood.

"By the way, Miss Zou, this technology is not unique to me, there was an investor last year....... Today, Martin and his partners have founded an electric vehicle brand headquartered in Silicon Valley, California. ”

Zou Kaixuan immediately said: "Please give us a contact address and phone number!" ”

"No problem! Miss Zou, you really make me admire, you are the only female technology tycoon in the world, and you are also the most discerning tech tycoon. Al Koconi couldn't help but praise.

Zou Kaixuan's fame is no longer inferior to Lin Zuhui, because she is a woman and a technology giant, plus Xiaomi Technology has also invented many epoch-making products, and has also achieved success in the business field.

She is often received by foreign heads of state, which is very different from her status in front of Lin Zuhui.

"You've won the prize, we are still decades away from American technology." Zou Kaixuan said elegantly and modestly.

.......

In the villa in San Francisco, Lin Zuhui sat on the sofa, and Zou Kaixuan squatted down, burying his head and working hard.

Lin Zuhui followed her hair, just like a kitten, and her mood was also very excited.

Looking for a woman doesn't have to be beautiful, a female tech giant like Zou Kaixuan is just his lover, of course, Zou Kaixuan is actually beautiful. After Lin Zuhui's cultivation of the Holy Spirit, it is also very attractive. Of course, the main thing is a sense of conquest.

Putting Zou Kaixuan on the sofa, who would have thought that a world-class female business tycoon was wearing Q fun underwear at this time, with a red face and misty eyes.

"Boss, I'm yours...."

The porcelain muscle was Lin Zuhui's words, and soon the two were intertwined.

Afterwards.

Lin Zuhui was not surprised when he heard about Martin.

"Strive to acquire the company founded by Martin and transfer the two to Tesla's R&D headquarters in the United States, at any cost." Lin Zuhui said resolutely.

He is wearing small shoes for the United States, how can Musk go to Mars without Tesla? And Starlink?

After all, it takes a lot of money to do this, and at least a lot of obstacles can be set up.

As for what Musk is doing is the progress of mankind, what does it have to do with Lin Zuhui, he doesn't want to go to Mars. Besides, it's just a delay for a while, maybe Huaxia's technology and environment will come up.

"Don't worry, boss! Martin: They don't have any money, I'll buy them up. ”

Lin Zuhui pinched her and said with a smile: "You are now a world business giant, and you still call me boss!" ”

"It's fun! Besides, it's all you who support Xiaomi Technology and me behind me, otherwise where would there be today! ”

"Don't talk about that in the future, what support is not supported, you are my woman, and you gave birth to two sons for me, what's the problem with giving you a career. What's more, if I were other women, they wouldn't be able to do it, and they wouldn't be able to do it well. ”

"Well, I'll listen to you anyway!"

......

In the following period, Zou Kaixuan's team negotiated with Martin and Mark's teams many times, and finally, Martin and Mark joined Tesla's U.S. R&D department and received a huge amount of $3 million.

After Lin Zuhui heard the news, he didn't care, and the things that could be solved with money were not things.

Xiaomi Technology can invest 1000~30 million US dollars in R&D expenses on Tesla every year, and when the time is ripe, Tesla can also obtain huge loans and financing in Xiangjiang.

In short, Lin Zuhui has money.

"Next, Tesla's team is to polish the technology, but also to consider the cost, otherwise electric vehicles will never replace gasoline vehicles." Lin Zuhui told Zou Kaixuan.

Zou Kaixuan nodded and said, "If the technology makes progress, I believe the government will also support it." ”

"This is not bad, as soon as public opinion is operated in advance, the Chinese government will immediately support Tesla, in fact, it is also supporting the entire Huaxia electric vehicle industry."

"Well, I see! The development of this industry is inseparable from the support of the government, as long as the prospect of electric vehicles is promoted, the government will definitely give subsidies, as well as the development of charging piles. ”

Lin Zuhui simply talked about the routine in the field of electric vehicles, that is, to subsidize or build factories and loans from the mainland government, and Hong Kong capital is also Chinese, as long as the industry is important, the government will not miss it.

Otherwise, once Tesla moves its headquarters to the United States, it will be time to cry.
