After discussing with Liu Hong about Weibo's launch, Li Dong personally went to the mall.
On the way, he met Shen Qian who just came back. When Shen Qian saw Li Dong, she said, "Good timing, I have a few things to report to you."
Li Dong saw people coming and going and did not ask in detail. He followed Shen Qian into the office.
This time, Shen Qian went on a business trip for nearly a month. Not only did she visit a few cities suitable for building a data center, but she also went to Guancheng.
At this moment, Li Dong also wanted to know how the discussion with Opper was going.
…
After entering the office, Shen Qian was not in a hurry to report.
She called the secretary in and asked Shen Qian, "Did the two interns Qi Fangfang and Zhang Mengmeng leave?"
The secretary hurriedly said, "They have left the company."
"Oh, I see. You can leave now."
After the secretary left, Shen Qian smiled and said, "The two spies finally left. Qin Yuhan is quite wary of me now. What do you think?"
Li Dong said, "You misunderstood. She didn't mean that."
"Alright, I know I can't get any conclusions from you."
Shen Qian was not in the mood to talk about this. She asked, "Did Qin Yuhan leave?"
"Not yet. Maybe in two days."
"If I knew this would happen, I would have come back in two days …"
Li Dong was speechless. "There's no need to do this. She doesn't come to the company much. She has been back for more than a month and has only come to the company three times. Is there a need to be so stiff?"
Shen Qian snappily said, "What? So you want me to get along with her peacefully and call you sister, sister, sister, then you'll be happy? Do you want me to sleep with you at night? That will make you happier? "
"Ahem, this is what you said. I didn't say that."
"Okay!"
Shen Qian was infuriated: "From your words, it seems that you have thought about this? You stinky men, just because you have some money you think you're a master? You want me and other women to serve you, a master? Dream on! "
Li Dong said, "I didn't say that. You said it yourself. Now you are blaming me. Don't you feel wronged?"
Seeing that Shen Qian was about to explode again, Li Dong did not want to talk about this and changed the topic, "How was the visit?"
Shen Qian snorted. She did not want to argue with him. She did not want to argue with him. She went back to the main topic, "I visited Nanhu, Fengcheng, is quite good. Pingchuan is fine, but Pingchuan is, but Pingchuan's conditions are not as good. In order to bring us in, Feng City offered us conditions that even tempted me. On the day I arrived, Feng City's Secretary and Mayor personally attended the banquet. Shen Qian briefly explained the situation. Li Dong thought for a moment and said, "Then we can talk. I don't really care where to build the data center.
Shen Qian briefly explained the situation to Li Dong. Li Dong thought for a moment and said, "Then we can continue to talk. Actually, I don't have a high requirement for where to build the data center. I don't want the money to be spent and the operation to be worse than it is now. I don't know much about this, and you don't know much either. Don't listen to what others say. I don't know much about this, and you don't know much either. Don't listen to what others say. As the CEO of the mall, you have to think of a way. Liu Hong and the others can do normal servers, but we can't just listen to their side of the story. "
Currently, there was no concept of "big data" in the country. Li Dong did not know much about it.
Even if he wanted to poach people, he did not know who to poach.
In any case, Li Dong was almost at a loss when it came to these technical things.
It was fine if he did not know, but he had to have people who knew.
The key was Liu Hong and the others. Li Dong did not think they were reliable. Did they know how to do this?
Just knowing how to build and speed up the network was not the main goal. Li Dong felt it was not worth it to spend more than 500 million just for this.
Shen Qian thought for a while and said, "You're right. I haven't really thought about it. In the country, other than the big network operators, the internet companies and banks have a deep understanding of IDC. The banks put more effort into this than the internet companies. When the domestic IDC industry was just starting, these banks were the first to enter. How about this, I'll do some research and see if I can poach some people over. Actually, the technology overseas is better than ours. Google and IBM are doing well too. I have a lot of classmates working in these companies. Let's see if we can find some elites to help. "
Hearing Shen Qian's words, Li Dong remembered that this woman was also a top business school graduate.
Thinking of this, Li Dong could not help but tease her. "I say, you're a top student from Kellogg School of Business. Why haven't you displayed any of your potential as a business elite these few years?"
Shen Qian said angrily, "Yes, I have no potential! No potential, no potential, how can you expect your shopping mall to do what it is now? Now you're picking on me. Why didn't you say I had no potential when I had nothing? People like you burn bridges after crossing the river, hateful bastard! "
Li Dong did not expect this woman to have such a big reaction. He immediately said dryly, "I was just joking. Why are you so angry?"
"How can you joke like that? You make it sound like I'm worthless. Moreover, Kellogg is not a school that fosters the internet industry. The school's strength lies in the research of traditional industries. Also, I studied marketing, which is Kellogg's most famous major. Only you would throw me to the shopping mall. If I were in the supermarket, I would definitely do better than you. "
"Really?"
"It's fake!"
Shen Qian replied angrily. After a while, she snorted and said, "I know what you mean. Far away, we were all restricted by you.
You always set the big picture, and we just took on the role of executors.
And when you set the big picture, under normal circumstances, you would maximize the benefits and save the company a lot of detours. At this time, we would naturally appear useless.
In the end, we all became logistics to stabilize the situation.
Whether it was CEO Sun, Senior Brother Yuan, or even me, we were all in this position. All you wanted was to execute and follow the rules you set. You didn't give us much room to play.
And when you needed it, it just so happened that it was some of our weaknesses.
In the end, in your eyes, we were naturally useless, which made you seem wise.
For a person like you, unless you find an all-rounder to cooperate with you, but how many people in the world can be perfect?
Therefore, the people you value are usually your weaknesses. At this time, you will think that they are very powerful, but in fact, it's not that they are powerful. It's just that you don't understand this aspect, which makes them seem powerful. "
"Is that so?"
Li Dong muttered, but thinking about it, it seemed to make some sense.
Seeing that he was deep in thought, Shen Qian shook her head and did not say anything.
In fact, the executives Far away should have experienced this. Sometimes, it was really frustrating to work behind Li Dong.
He didn't leave much room for others to play, and in this limited space, Li Dong liked to stick his foot in from time to time.
In the end, things were done, but they lacked that sense of accomplishment.
For a proud person, this kind of blow was extremely uncomfortable.
Therefore, whether it was Wu Shengnan, Yuan Chengdao, or Sun Tao, they were usually too lazy to play in the big picture.
Was Yuan Chengdao not powerful?
If he was not powerful, Sun Tao wouldn't have recommended him in the beginning, and Shen Qian wouldn't have recommended him either.
But now, Yuan Chengdao could only do logistics, think about how to improve the passion and motivation of the executives, and plan to go public.
If he was not powerful, Far away would not be so stable after such expansion.
However, from the big picture, Yuan Chengdao did not contribute much to Far away.
Wu Shengnan was about the same. People who could be recommended by Shen Qian were generally not bad.
Before coming to Far away, Wu Shengnan had a strong record. Even Zhang Lanyu was not convinced on the surface, but she was convinced in her heart.
In the end, Far away, what could Wu Shengnan do?
If Li Dong wanted to buy land, he would buy land. If he wanted to sell land, he would sell land. If he had some money on the books, he would take time to develop other things. In the end, Wu Shengnan could not do anything.
It was the same for mall logistics. Speaking of which, the bosses of the four major subsidiaries were all doing hard work.
The decision-making power was not in their hands. Wherever Li Dong pointed, they would do. What room could they be expected to play?
After pondering for a while, Li Dong was also a little helpless.
It was not that he did not want to give others room to play. The main thing was that he clearly knew what was the best way to do now. Did he have to let everyone take the wrong path?
However, this also limited everyone.
This was something that could not be helped. In the end, it also had something to do with these people. If they really saw further than Li Dong, Li Dong would naturally listen to them.
The key was that although these people were powerful, they were not powerful to the point of being monstrous.
If they were the kind of masters who could see five or ten steps ahead of them with one step, they would not feel aggrieved.
Of course, this was also Li Dong's extravagant hope. There were many business masters. If there were really such people, they would generally choose to start their own business and do well.
For example, Shao Yibo, who he had his eyes on, had done very well when he started his business. If it was not for the changes that happened later, maybe even Old Ma would not be as good as him. Li Dong naturally felt that this kind of person was very powerful.
Other than Shao Yibo, in fact, Li Dong knew another guy who was more powerful.
Hsu Shengzhe!
This guy was really very powerful. Although Li Dong looked down on him every day, he actually quite admired him in his heart.
In the past few years, Longhua had developed very fast.
In Feng Yu's previous life, Longhua did not achieve this level. Maybe it was because of Li Dong's influence. In this life, Hsu Shengzhe took over Longhua in advance. It was also a good timing.
This time, if Longhua could survive the financial crisis, Hsu Shengzhe's net worth would definitely increase by a lot.
Looking at a person's net worth might be lacking, but this was also the most intuitive way to judge a person. Putting other industries aside, when it came to real estate and business, Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe were still far behind.
Seeing that Li Dong was still thinking, Shen Qian had to interrupt him. "Don't think about it first. Anyway, we are used to this kind of thing. It's better to show that you are smart and capable. This way, your prestige in the company will be higher, and you will be more useful. When you feel that you can't do it, then you can perform for everyone. "
Li Dong's face turned black when he heard this. "Who can't do it? Can a man say that he can't do it? Are you forcing me to perform it live for you to see? "
Shen Qian's face turned red and said angrily. "Can you be more serious? I am talking to you about serious matters. What are you thinking about?!"
"Even if we are talking about serious matters, you can't say that I can't do it. This sentence is too ambiguous." Li Dong mumbled.
"Get lost!"
Shen Qian was angry and amused at the same time. Sometimes, this guy was so mature that it was scary, and sometimes, he was like a child who pestered endlessly.
Afraid that this guy would really disregard the influence and mess around in the office, Shen Qian hurriedly said, "Do you still want to know about the Opper?"
Speaking of the Opper, Li Dong came back to his senses. He quickly asked, "Tell me, how was the negotiation in Guan City?"
"Not good."
"Not good?" Li Dong's heart skipped a beat. He asked, "Didn't I say that I can make some concessions?"
"Concessions? The company's money has been spent by you. How can I make concessions? Do you have money now? "
"This …"
Li Dong also had a headache. Talking about money now made him feel like he was about to collapse.
Everything needed money. Tens of billions of cash flow had been squandered by him, and the financing couldn't meet his requirements. Money was indeed a big problem.
Seeing that he was having a headache, Shen Qian said proudly, "Okay, I was just teasing you. The negotiation was quite smooth. After all, the Opper is not a big company. Plus, they dug their own grave by entering the mobile phone industry. Now, their capital chain is almost broken.
Until now, their first mobile phone is still not online.
But I kind of understand why you are optimistic about the other party. I went to the other party's company to investigate and also chatted with Chen Mingyong for a while.
The other party's market analysis, product positioning, and sales channels are all very good. He is very forward-looking.
Although I can't see the results yet, I think this guy is a talent.
Sometimes, when investing in a company, you invest in a talent. This is not a big problem.
But then again, have you been in contact with Chen Mingyong? "
"No."
"Then you?"
Li Dong said perfunctorily, "I have heard of this person. Plus, the other party is rising step by step, so he has some skills. Since I want to make mobile phones, and I don't know how to do it, I naturally have to find a better one. In any case, it won't cost much, so it's good to give it a try. Let's not talk about this first. You said that the negotiation was smooth, so how did it go? "
"The controlling stake is definitely not possible. The Opper's shares are very scattered, and all the employees have their shares. Chen Mingyong and Duan Yongping don't have a lot of shares. Plus, our time is limited, so it's very troublesome to buy the shares of the other small shareholders. Finally, we negotiated for 20%. But even if it's 20%, we will still hold the most shares. The only condition is that the management rights are still in the hands of the founding team. You don't have any opinion on this, right? "
"I don't have any opinion on this. I don't understand it anyway."
"That's good."
"By the way, how much did you spend?"
"200 million. You said to give in, so I can only listen to you. Also, I arranged some people to stay in Guan City to discuss with the other small shareholders to see if we can buy some shares in the future. "
Li Dong nodded and said, "Do that first. Also, don't let others know. After all, if we continue to buy shares now, I'm afraid that it will cause Chen Mingyong and the others to worry. When the time comes, we can show our fists and see if we can get the controlling stake. "
According to Li Dong's idea, it was naturally the best to get the controlling stake.
But before getting the controlling stake, it was better to let Old Chen and the others play freely.
When the Opper was fully established one day, it would be good to pick the peaches while he was at it.
In the business world, there was no need to talk about feelings.
Besides, he didn't have any feelings with Old Chen and the others. He had never even met them. Naturally, it was better to have the things in his own hands.
Shen Qian didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. She nodded and said, "I've already told them about this. Don't worry, they won't be afraid. Also, I've already bought the shares … "
"You've already bought it?" Li Dong was surprised.
"Yeah. Let's get it done quickly. We don't have much time to waste. We don't need to care about the trivial matters. I've been in Guan City for half a month this time. If we just talk about business, it will be over in a few days. It's mainly about the follow-up agreement … "
"What about the money?" Li Dong hurriedly asked.
Shen Qian didn't care and said, "Don't I still have a lot of money in my hands? The money that you and uncle asked for last time is useless to me. I saw that you didn't plan to use the group's funds, so I made the decision myself. The shares will be under my name for the time being. I'll transfer them to you in a few days … "
"We'll talk about this later."
Li Dong sighed and didn't say anything.
He really didn't plan to buy the Opper shares with great fanfare. Now that Shen Qian secretly used her own money to buy the shares, it was fine.
As for the shares, Li Dong didn't plan to control them in his own hands.
When he gave Shen Qian the shares Far away, Shen Qian didn't want it. Li Dong felt that he owed her.
Now that Shen Qian held the Opper shares, and it was her own money, Li Dong felt that it was good.
Listening to the meaning of his words, Shen Qian understood what he was thinking, but Shen Qian didn't say anything.
Sometimes, she didn't care about money.
As for the Opper shares, it wasn't a big deal to transfer it to Li Dong later. There was no need to say it out loud.
The two didn't say much about this. Then, they talked about the Weibo launch.
As for the financing, Shen Qian didn't ask. Others might not understand Li Dong, but how could she not?
This guy was probably preparing to use this opportunity to divert people's attention.
At this time, the internal and external conflicts were all focused on the financing. The group was in harmony, and the outside was also staring at the gap that Far away had opened. At least before the financing was completely broken, Far Away would have a quiet period of development.
And this period was actually the most dangerous time for Far Away.
Far Away, which had used up all its cash flow, couldn't take the strong blow at this time.
Giving hope to other companies, and giving hope and confidence to Far Away's employees, Li Dong played this trick well.
When the others came back to their senses, the crisis Far Away would probably be resolved.
Even if it wasn't, financing was also a way out. No matter how he thought about it, Li Dong wouldn't lose money.
It had to be said that women were scary sometimes.
There were people more powerful than Shen Qian, but few people thought about this. At this time, except for Wu Shengnan, who knew some inside information, everyone else really thought that Li Dong wanted financing.
