Top of the big era

That night, Zhou Buqi had an online communication with Kurian.

Time is tight and the task is heavy. Kurian has already taken action and officially offered Lufthansa US$1 billion to acquire their IT infrastructure department.

Unsurprisingly, it was rejected.

He was also warned by the Germans.

They said that they did not feel the sincerity of Ziweixing, and such an offer was too bullying. Over the past ten years, Lufthansa has invested a total of US$2.5 billion in this business. This is only the investment of tangible assets of real money, but also the brand value of the intangible assets of "Lufthansa".

For such a core and important asset, the quoted price is only US$1 billion?

impossible!

In the study, Zhou Buqi asked the disheveled Ning Yaxian to get dressed and go back to her room to take a shower, then she got into work and asked, "Have the assets been verified?"

Kurian said: "Their assets are spread all over Europe. If they really verify them one by one, the efficiency will be too low. IBM is doing this, let's not do it here, and the report provided by Lufthansa shall prevail." That’s ok. The Germans have a good reputation and it’s a state-owned enterprise like Lufthansa, so we can rest assured.”

Zhou Buqi said: "What I'm talking about is another meaning. The costs of the optical fiber networks and data centers they invest in must be spread out year by year. For hardware equipment, the longer time passes, the more serious the asset shrinkage will be."

Kurian coughed and explained: "How much the assets will shrink is also relative. The same part of the IT infrastructure department, in the hands of Lufthansa, is now worth about US$1.5 billion. Plus 1,400 people As for employees, who are a big burden, I have already talked with the consulting agency. Our highest bid cannot exceed US$1.5 billion. However, if this part of the assets is placed in our hands, it can show an asset value of at least US$2 billion. "

Just like buying a computer, an ordinary person spends 6,000 yuan on a new computer.

After using it for two years, it was sold to the second-hand market for 2,000 yuan.

Experts in the second-hand market can refurbish the computer appropriately, and without spending much money, they can sell it for a high price of 4,000 yuan, and make a profit of 2,000 yuan when they resell it.

The same asset can have different values ​​in the hands of different people.

In this regard, Ziweixing... including IBM, Oracle, HP and other competitors have huge advantages over Lufthansa.

Zhou Buqi asked: "How about Oracle and HP?"

"There's no response. HP is okay. The headquarters has sent people over. Forget about Oracle. The United States didn't send anyone over at all. They probably gave up." Kurian came from Oracle and he knows best. "Now It doesn’t matter whether it’s Oracle or HP. The main competitor is IBM, and they are really eager to get this done.”

Zhou Buqi was more relaxed about this, "It's okay, you can handle Lufthansa over there. I'll handle IBM here!"

"How to do it?"

"I'm trying to get IBM to withdraw voluntarily."

"Ah?" Kurian was stunned, "This is impossible! Several of their core executives are here."

Zhou Buqi pondered for a moment, "Even if IBM is unwilling to withdraw voluntarily, we can still find a way to make IBM passively withdraw! In this deal, the most difficult thing is actually the 1,400 employees. If this problem cannot be solved, no one will be able to achieve it. protocol."

"Um?"

Kurian still didn’t quite understand.

Zhou Buqi said calmly: "As long as these 1,400 employees are causing trouble and they are unwilling to join IBM, even if Lufthansa sells its IT infrastructure department to IBM, it will still be overthrown."

Kurian was a little incredulous, "You have a way?"

Zhou Buqi said: "You just said that when Germans do business, the most important thing is reputation. It just so happens that I also attach great importance to it."

…

On-campus group buying usually starts at 12:00 noon, which is the earliest rule set by Zhou Buqi.

A new round of group buying has begun.

In addition to college students who are looking forward to buying some high-quality and low-priced winter supplies, cosmetics, snacks, autumn clothes and trousers, and electric heating products, there is also a group that is very concerned about this on-campus group purchase.

The top level of Suning.

Boss Zhang had lunch early and then returned to the office to wait for news.

In Suning's business landscape, the offline store market has been stable. The boss of the biggest competitor Gome has been arrested, so how can we still fight?

The smoke in the offline market has almost stopped, and the next step is the online market.

In the field of 3C home appliances, Suning does not allow any rivals in the country!

This cooperation with on-campus group buying is an opportunity for development!

Give it a try first.

If the effect is good, we must find ways to continue to deepen cooperation with on-campus group purchases. Well, college students are Suning’s potential core users. Suning's core sales are home appliances, but home appliances are not considered fast-moving consumer goods. They usually purchase new home appliances when moving, getting married, or buying a new house.

Compared with cultivating old users, expanding the new user market is the most important. After graduation, college students have to rent a house, buy a house, find a job and get married, and they all have a rigid demand for household appliances, not to mention electronic products such as computers, mobile phones, and routers.

After making friends with college students, Suning can dominate the future.

Boss Zhang was full of expectations. He looked at the time and it was almost 12 o'clock.

A new phase of on-campus group buying is about to begin.

It should be more successful, right?

This time, in order to win the favor of college students, Suning.com showed more sincerity than the school network. Products sold through on-campus group purchases are generally not sold at a loss, but the profit margin is very low. Suning.com is different this time. It has specially launched a batch of subsidized products and promoted them at cost prices or lower than cost prices.

If all goes well, the one-day subsidy is expected to exceed 1 million yuan, and after four days of group buying, the total subsidy amount will reach 5 million yuan.

Full of sincerity!

Who can have a hard time with money?

Suning, led by boss Zhang, is best at price competition and is very confident about it. He picked up the phone on his desk, notified the second secretary who was focused on Suning.com's business, and ordered: "Always pay attention and report here every 5 minutes."

Then, he reviewed the documents on the table leisurely and relaxedly.

For such a big boss, the work is very busy and the days are long. It is impossible for him to work hard just for a cooperation between Suning.com and on-campus group buying.

Be at peace.

After a while, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and Second Secretary Leilei ran over in a panic, "Mr. Zhang! E-commerce!"

Boss Zhang glanced up at her and frowned slightly.

Not very happy with her performance.

However, he was not too harsh. He lowered his head and started reviewing the materials again, and said slowly: "I told you that I will report every five minutes, and now it's only...only half a minute?"

"Mr. Zhang, something happened at Tesco." Secretary Leilei's tone changed.

"Huh?" Boss Zhang looked up at her in shock, "Something happened? What happened?"

Leilei said: "Suning.com's website cannot be opened!"

"Can't open it?"

Boss Zhang has a laptop on his desk, but he doesn't know how to use a computer. Secretary Leilei trotted over and entered the website address, but the proper interface did not pop up.

A connection error is displayed.

"What's going on?" Boss Zhang was furious, and his tone couldn't help but become a little more serious.

"this……"

Leilei graduated from the computer science department and was honored to be the boss's secretary. This kind of thing is really embarrassing right now.

Boss Zhang was angry, "What on earth is going on? Is... Is Tesco hacked? Who did it?!"

"It should...should not be a hacker attack."

"That is how the matter?"

"Well……"

There are many reasons for this phenomenon, and Leilei couldn't explain it at the moment.

At this time, the phone on the desk rang. After answering, Boss Zhang listened for a few words, his face became increasingly gloomy, and then he slammed the table with anger: "I don't care what method you use, Let me take care of it immediately! Tesco cannot ruin its credibility in the hearts of college students!"
