Go back to 1990 to start a business

The phone rang.

With a smile on her lips, Anna picked up the phone and said, "I'm Anna."

"Anna, this is Scully. We can't accept this price. I want to talk to Xia Chuan."

"I think you must have misunderstood. I said that I purchased Pingguo on behalf of Xia Chuan." Anna said seriously.

"Then I'm sorry. If this is your final price, we can't accept it. Your representation is over." Scully started to speak forcefully, and his mind was already on fire. You know nothing, he is just a puppet, how can you be so big? Tone?

"I'm also sorry. I will continue to represent you. Because Xia Chuan knew that you would not agree to the acquisition, so he and his fiancée went to Luoshanji for their honeymoon. I have the final say on everything in this month."

"So Xia Chuan has no intention of acquiring Pingguo?" Scully finally caught the clue.

"No, the acquisition is real. But Xia Chuan said that if you don't agree, it would be better to wait until Pingguo's stock price drops to one yuan in three years before acquiring it. The current price is based on Jobs's request, otherwise do you think Xia Chuan Are you willing to suffer this loss?"

Sculley was so angry that his lungs were about to burst and he roared: "On what basis do you say our stock price can drop to one dollar?"

"Oh, Xia Chuan also said that just because you drove away Steve Jobs, at this level, Pingguo is destined to go bankrupt. You have castrated Pingguo's soul. I can add another hundred dollars, and you can vote again. "Anna said leisurely.

Scully slammed the phone angrily.

……

The members of the board of directors looked at each other in blank dismay.

"I think Xia Chuan is being alarmist. He exaggerated Jobs' role just to lower Pingguo's purchase price."

Jonathan Ivey couldn't help but complain.He is the chief designer. Xia Chuan said that not having Jobs castrated Pingguo's soul, which was tantamount to denying his value.

But he was originally opposed to the acquisition, but he didn't mention it this time.No one dares to question Xia Chuan's foresight, unless Xia Chuan has ulterior motives, but Ivey does not dare to risk bankruptcy.

"In my opinion, Xia Chuan never cares about money, and he likes to use money to tap people's potential. Dell is an example. There is no need for Xia Chuan to pay such a high price.

Xia Chuan measures corporate value based on human standards. Dell is indeed a genius in terms of entrepreneurs.And even though we have a high-tech background and a lot of patents, our profits are getting worse and worse. If this chaotic situation does not change, bankruptcy will happen sooner or later. "

The speaker is Ron Johnson, senior vice president of retail operations.He said it very tactfully, not saying that Scully was bad, but everyone could understand.Moreover, he was originally opposed to the acquisition, but now he is wavering.

Bob Mansfield, the head of Pingo Mac, glanced at the gloomy Sculley and said softly:

“I think we should take Xia Chuan’s opinion seriously.

Has Xia Chuan ever completed an acquisition through intrigue?No.So Xia Chuan really thinks so.Everything he does so openly is a conspiracy, but he is always invincible.Because he can give people strong aspirations and he can achieve a win-win situation.

Is it necessary for such a person to destroy his powerful prestige for such a small amount of money?

If Pingguo doesn't go bankrupt in a few years, wouldn't he be a slap in the face, proving that his "use of technology to promote the development of human society" is just a cold joke, just to make money? "

Scully was extremely depressed. Xia Chuan's mere words that Pingguo would go bankrupt made the three people who originally opposed it change their minds.

Deputy Li Kai said: "Why don't we delay it and see how Anna reacts?"

No one objected to his words. Even if he agreed to the acquisition, he could still delay it. Maybe Anna was just bluffing and continued to increase the amount if he didn't agree.

……

Pheasant.

Xia Chuan and the other two walked out of the airport.

Four bodyguards came up to meet them. They arrived in advance on the highway in two extended Lincolns, so Xia Chuan and the other two people did not have to suffer that fate.

From San Francisco to Luo Pheasant, a distance of 560 kilometers, for the Boeing 747, it seems that it has just started to land as soon as it rushes into the clouds.

Shiyun got in the car and enthusiastically told Xia Chuan everything about Luo Pheasant.

The administrative divisions of the United States are very different from ours.

The United States consists of states, counties (counties, districts), and cities.

We are provinces, cities, and counties (districts).

Luoshanji County has a population of nearly 400 million and governs more than [-] cities. Luoshanji City has a population of nearly [-] million, but its level is only equivalent to our county.

People often compare cities in the United States with our cities. It seems that both cities have a pitifully small population. In fact, the difference is not that big.But they can still be compared, because their counties and cities are not superior-subordinate relationships, but decentralized cooperation.

There is no superior-subordinate relationship between continents and countries. It is a federal system. Each continent has its own legislative power and state legislators.

If state legislators don't like the governor, even if he has not yet completed his term, they can mobilize the people to vote for him to step down early. This is how the later Hollywood superstar Schwarzenegger was elected early.

Luoshanji City is home to rich people. Beverly Hills is a world-famous wealthy area and a gathering place for Hollywood stars. The consumption is so high that it exceeds Niu Yue. Luxury stores are everywhere, ranking first in the world.

Two stretch Lincolns finally arrived in Chinatown.

It feels like I have returned to China. There are Chinese people everywhere, the buildings are antique, archways and red lanterns can be seen everywhere. Almost every shop has eye-catching Chinese signs, and the red color of the archway is more vivid.

Xia Chuan rolled down the window, and the pedestrians on the road were communicating in familiar Chinese, but they were not Mandarin, but mostly Cantonese and Hokkien.

"That's the statue of Sun Guofu." Shiyun pointed at it from a distance and said.

Xia Chuan pretended that he was an idiot and didn't recognize him, and kept saying 'oh' and 'ouch', making his sister happy.

Shiyun became even more happy, "That's a statue of Bruce Lee."

Unexpectedly, Xia Chuan went too far and said casually: "I thought I was Sun Wukong."

Zang Hong in front burst out laughing.

Shiyun noticed it, rolled his eyes at him angrily, and said nothing more.

Xia Chuan quickly said: "Sister, do you think it's possible for me to stand in this place? Just line up behind Bruce Lee."

Shiyun said quietly: "That's too unfair, little brother. You should line up behind Sun Wukong."

Hahaha, Zang Hong laughed loudly.

"Sister is hungry, let's have dinner first." Xia Chuan held Shiyun's hand and said softly.

Shiyun nodded: "What do you want to eat?"

In Chinatown, there are various specialty shops, Chinese supermarkets, and Chinese gift shops, but the most popular ones are Chinese restaurants.Here you can eat authentic Chinese specialties, such as Cantonese, Fujian, Sichuan, Shanghai, Tianjin, etc., as well as authentic Hong Kong-style refreshments.

"As long as there are fewer people and the store can park a lot, it's fine." Xia Chuan put forward his own standards.

Shiyun sighed secretly, her younger brother didn't like this place, so she ordered the bodyguard: "Turn right on Broadway in front and stop."

The crowd got out of the car.

Xia Chuan felt more and more that the environment here was really bad. The roads were greasy and garbage could be seen everywhere. He couldn't believe that this was the United States and that it was California's famous pheasant.

With the continuous expansion of Chinatown, the people living here are no longer limited to Chinese. Many Bangzi, Yue Nian and other Asians also live here, but Europeans and Americans almost do not live in this area.

The main reasons are that the public security here is average, the planning is chaotic, and most importantly, the environment is not clean.

Especially when compared with Little Tokyo, which I just passed by, the gap is quite obvious.

The only advantage here is that you can buy the taste of hometown, such as chili sauce, pickled mustard, salted eggs, tofu, soy sauce, luncheon meat and other foods that are not available in other old and American supermarkets.
