Far Away Building.
Yuan Chengdao was much more dispirited and skinnier than a few days ago.
After a brief report, Yuan Chengdao said, "General Manager Li, if we really need money, we can hold back the funds from Far Away Airlines. We should be able to gather 2 billion. As for the plane, if we can't do it this year, we'll do it next year. "
Li Dong shook his head and said, "There's no need. CEO Lan has been running around the world for this. If we stop now, I'll vomit blood. Let's do it this way. When the loan from China Merchants Bank comes, we'll have a much easier time. When the loan from China Construction Bank comes, we can return the funds we transferred earlier. When I get the controlling stake in Gome, I'll think of a way to return the 3 billion from Jiangbei's business community. There's no hurry. "
Yuan Chengdao did not say anything else. He said tiredly, "The Huang Family is much stronger than we thought. Not only did they invest in Yiwei, they also invested 2 billion. When they invest more money, the Huang Family will also put their lives on the line. If Huang Guangyu doesn't come out, it'll be much easier. The others might not dare to support him. Unfortunately … "
Li Dong smiled and said, "Everything is smooth sailing. Old Huang coming out is also a test for us.
Don't worry. Even if he comes out, others will give him face and lend him a few hundred million.
But if he wants to borrow more money, it won't be so easy.
Other people's money is not a bottomless pit. If they really lose, Old Huang will go back in. It's uncertain whether he can return the money.
All in all, we still have a big advantage.
Now, both parties hold the same shares. After the allotment, Old Huang's funds will be completely used up, but his shares will still be the same.
In the secondary market, we still have the 5 billion from China Merchants Bank and 10 billion from China Construction Bank.
How much can he borrow 15 billion?
3 billion is because he thinks highly of him. 5 billion is because the outside world doesn't want me to win.
Don't even think about more.
With this confidence, we don't need to worry about him.
When the fight is over, I'll withdraw from the market and make him suffer the consequences. I've spent tens of billions, and how much he can get back will depend on his ability! "
The corner of Yuan Chengdao's mouth twitched. How black-hearted!
Once Gome's shares were taken away by Li Dong, and Li Dong and the Huang Family held too many shares, it was possible for them to delist.
If it really got delisted, the Huang family's shares would be in their hands.
At that time, if Li Dong didn't want to buy it back, he would suppress them internally. Even if he wanted to buy it back, he probably wouldn't give a high price.
At that time, no one would dare to take over.
They couldn't circulate in the stock market, so the Huang family would suffer a huge loss.
Of course, Li Dong wasn't the only one with this idea. The Huang Family might also have the same idea.
But the probability was lower. The Huang Family had no capital left. They didn't have the money to buy back Li Dong's shares, and if they brought in someone else, they had to prevent the previous situation from happening again.
In conclusion, the Huang Family's situation was much more difficult than Li Dong's.
Even if they won this time, Li Dong wouldn't withdraw no matter what and would use the money to fight with them. The Huang Family would be in a difficult position for the next few years.
Now that the matter with Gome had reached this point, Li Dong couldn't be bothered to say more. He asked, "What's the progress with CEO Lan?"
"The order has been officially placed, but only a part of the deposit has been paid. It's not too late to cancel it now …"
"Cancel it for what?!"
Li Dong shook his head. "It's good that the order has been placed. How about this, let CEO Lan discuss with the other party. Don't talk about the planes that need to be modified. Send those that don't need to be modified back to the country immediately! As for maintenance, let the other party do it in the country. This time, we'll take this opportunity to show our strength and prevent people from thinking otherwise. I have to let them know that I lack everything but money. If they fight with me for money, they will be the ones to die in the end! Now, I'll even buy a fleet of planes to scare them to death! "
Yuan Chengdao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He nodded. "Then I'll let CEO Lan discuss with the other party. Actually, there's no need to send them back. We can just make an announcement …"
"That's different. How can something on paper compare to the existence of a real plane?! Spray paint them all and bring them back to Jiangbei. Line them up in a row and let everyone see them. Of course, we can also build momentum first. How can someone as rich as me lose the fight for the shares? What a joke! "
Yuan Chengdao didn't reject it. At this time, he had to consider both the internal and external battles.
The battle of public opinion and suppression of momentum could affect the other party's decision.
Once he felt Li Dong's strength and pressure, Huang Guangyu might waver and show signs of hesitation.
As for the Tide Gang that supported Old Huang, they might also waver.
Could their support really help Old Huang get back the shares?
If they failed, when would they get back the money they had lent?
If these people wavered, it would be more convenient for Li Dong.
Sometimes, external factors were more suitable than throwing money at the other party. It was best to strike the other party's morale and make them unable to recover.
After discussing for a while, Li Dong left the office.
After going to Far away Technology to take a look at Wan Tong, Li Dong contacted OPPO.
On New Year's Day, OPPO's latest smartphone would be released.
At the same time, Far away Technology's latest smartphone would also be released.
At the moment, everyone was busy with publicity and preparation work. The busy atmosphere of the entire department was no less than the battle between Li Dong and the United States.
…
After looking at Wan Tong, Li Dong went to the Mobile Internet Group.
Zhang Xiaolong's R&D team had expanded to more than ten people.
Ever since the new Android smartphone appeared, it had been a great help to their R&D.
In the past, Far away used the iPhone to do practical testing. However, the iPhone had not been released in China yet. Furthermore, the current iPhone was not suitable for the Chinese version. Testing on the iPhone had a lot of disadvantages.
Now that OPPO had an Android smartphone, it was a great help to WeChat's R&D.
When Li Dong arrived, Zhang Xiaolong was testing the latest version of WeChat with his team.
When he saw Li Dong, Zhang Xiaolong quickly got up and said, "Chairman."
Li Dong nodded and looked at the phones in their hands. He smiled and said, "Testing on the phone?"
Zhang Xiaolong quickly said, "It's version 1.3 now.
However, there are still some problems with the latest version.
First, the matching speed is still too slow. Reading and analyzing the contacts still requires a lot of time and data processing.
Our IDC data center is not completed yet. We can only rent the data centers of other operators.
This also leads to the need for transit. Furthermore, the 2G network speed is not fast to begin with.
"Version 1.3 of WeChat is very slow and often lags.
"Second, the memory of the current smartphones is too small. Our WeChat has too many functions, causing the memory to be too big.
"Voice chat is possible at the moment. However, if there are too many, the entire phone will be stuck.
"The video chat function is also not achievable at the moment.
"Unless the terminal is improved, and we have to think of a way to remove some unnecessary functions to reduce the memory occupancy.
"Third, you mentioned adding the Wantoon account and activating the red packet function.
This still requires a lot of data analysis … "
Zhang Xiaolong said a lot. Overall, the development of WeChat was progressing well and smoothly.
The key was the hardware and network.
The network speed was too slow, and the data could not be analyzed quickly. Far away's own data center was not in use yet. It was not completed yet. It was too troublesome to rely on renting this area.
Furthermore, the 3G network was not in use yet. It was the slowest of all turtles.
Once there were too many functions, not only would the software lag, it could even cause the entire phone to be stuck.
Moreover, the power consumption was shocking. With OPPO's current phone battery support, the battery would run out in one or two hours at most.
In addition, the data consumption was too high.
In 2008, the data consumption was astonishingly high.
Sometimes, if you used voice chat, the data consumption was no less than making a phone call.
Of course, this was for outsiders.
For example, Mobile's internal QQ, which had been released in 2007, also supported voice chat, but the data consumption was very low, and the charges were also frighteningly low.
This was the operator's problem. To solve this problem, they could only go to the operator to negotiate.
At present, it seemed that the probability of success was relatively high.
Because of the 3G network, if they continued to implement the previous data charges, it would lead to the 3G network not being promoted.
Several operators had invested hundreds of billions in 3G. It was impossible to let the 3G network become a decoration because of the data charges. The charges would come down sooner or later.
On the other hand, Li Dong's side was a little more demanding. He hoped that WeChat could also enjoy the treatment of QQ.
Once this was the case, it would be of great benefit to the promotion of WeChat.
Of course, there were still difficulties. After all, they were considered opponents, and they even stole the other party's business. This matter had to be discussed slowly, and even Li Dong had to personally come forward.
At present, Li Dong did not have too much energy to entangle with the other party. At least, he had to wait until the matter of Gome was resolved before he could take time to slowly talk with the other party.
Thinking of this, Li Dong was not in a hurry to launch WeChat for the time being. He said to Zhang Xiaolong: "Some functions can be castrated now.
When the hardware catches up, we will launch a new version.
You continue to develop different versions. We need at least five ladder versions in stock.
Once WeChat is out, Tencent will inevitably feel the danger. It is not surprising to fight with the wind, fight, and risk their lives.
Ma Huateng wouldn't let me off just like that because it involved the very foundation of their existence.
And we have to do it. Once they follow the trend, we will immediately launch a new version, a new version that is most suitable for the current situation, so that the other party has no room to survive.
According to what I said before, you continue to develop and improve.
At present, we will not launch it for the time being.
When we take down Gome this year, Wan Toon will be promoted. Next year, I will talk to the three major operators, and we will launch it. "
Zhang Xiaolong hurriedly nodded his head. He admired Li Dong's ability to take things one step at a time.
Once WeChat is out, it will affect Tencent's basic value.
At that time, Tencent will definitely fight with them.
Zhang Xiaolong felt that it was wise to prepare for a rainy day and for a great battle in the future, lest he was unable to respond in time.
As a developer, Tencent's advantage is time.
The longer they prepare, the more optimizations they have, and the more contingency plans they have. Tencent and other companies' software cannot be compared to Feng Yu and Feng Yu.
Far Away's Weibo was like this in the past. Far Away had prepared for a long time.
All sorts of new versions were released, and each version was better than the previous one. This made it easier for the public to accept it.
On the other hand, Sina had launched too hastily, and many of their products were rough. They had not even been tested by the market before they launched.
Blindly following the trend and trying to keep up with Far Away's pace will be disrupted, and they will lose the ability to compete with Far Away.
Now, Li Dong is using this strategy on WeChat to disrupt Tencent's pace and exhaust them.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaolong could not help but pity Brother Ma.
It's too difficult to be an opponent of someone like Li Dong.
When you are not prepared, he will have taken three to five steps and will be waiting to take you down.
When you take the first step, he will take the second step, and when you take the second step, he will take the third step.
When your steps are too small, you will be left behind.
When your steps are too big, it will be easy for you to fall and pull your balls. This is a sad thing.
While Zhang Xiaolong was thinking, Li Dong continued. "It's still the same. Keep improving, and let our opponents have no way out!
I will continue to invest in the data center to speed up the progress.
Of course, there are some difficulties on my side, and the progress is slow. You all must understand.
When the loan from China Construction Bank comes in, I will prioritize this area. Far Away's projects can be delayed.
I will definitely satisfy all the basic conditions that you need to satisfy!
But you must keep it confidential!
Once Tencent or other companies know about this and are prepared, we will lose more than half of our advantage.
This kind of loss is not something that just anyone can bear! "
Everyone in the laboratory was stunned and quickly nodded.
All of them had signed the confidentiality agreement, and if this information is leaked, Li Dong will kill the person who leaked it.
WeChat is a weapon against Tencent, and Li Dong will be merciful if this information is leaked.
Li Dong saw everyone's expression and laughed. "Of course, you all don't have to be so nervous. Once PP and WeChat suppress Tencent, it will be a 100 billion company or even a trillion-dollar project after it gets listed! And all of you are heroes, just like Weibo now. By that time, there will be a large number of billionaires. "
Carrots and sticks are always the best means.
Even if they knew that Li Dong was making empty promises, they had to swallow it because it was too tempting!
Weibo is now valued at more than 3 billion USD, and it is expected to reach even higher levels. Maybe after the next round of financing, it will reach 5 billion USD.
When it gets listed, 10 billion USD will not be a dream.
A large number of executives with options will be rich.
And if WeChat and PP get listed together, the effect will definitely not be worse than Weibo. Thinking about this, they could not help but be excited.
Li Dong saw that they were all laughing happily, and he laughed too.
At any time, unless it is your family, everyone is actually connected by interests.
Without interests, who will work for you?
Even among friends, it is best not to link interests. Otherwise, the possibility of falling out is very high.
If a company wants to grow, it is impossible to not give everyone benefits and hope.
Far away, Li Dong has not decided if he wants to get listed.
Far away, the possibility of getting listed is as high as 99%.
The influence of the Internet industry is limited if it is not listed, and it does not meet everyone's expectations.
…
By the time Distance Technology was settled, it was almost night time.
Li Dong asked Old Tan to drive and picked up Shen Qian outside the mall.
When he saw that she had prepared dozens of bags of various sizes, Li Dong's face was full of helplessness.
Women say that they do not care and are not nervous, but in fact, they are much more nervous and meticulous than men.
Looking at Shen Qian, other than going to the mall in the afternoon, she probably went to the beauty salon as well. Her hairstyle and clothes have changed.
Li Dong did not say anything. It is a good thing for women to tidy up and be more attractive. Which man does not want his wife to be more attractive?
At present, the premise is that they have the capital. Living is a problem, so these unnecessary expenses can be saved.
