Top of the big era

After approving Guo Pengfei's proposal, the secretary transferred Liu Qiangdong's call.

There is no way, I have no work all morning, and there are a lot of things.

"Old Liu, what's the matter?"

"Your group buying is so successful? It makes people jealous."

Zhou Buqi expressed his modesty, and said with a smile: "Some people are already complaining, saying that the products sold are all cosmetics, which boys can't use."

"Oh, what a coincidence!"

"Um?"

"Have you heard? The mobile phone business department of Panda Electronics has officially announced its closure."

"oh."

Zhou Buqi's reaction was relatively flat.

That's what they deserve!

snort!

Seeing that Shi Jinglin was a girl back then, I wanted to play tricks on the supply price and bully her, how can this be tolerated? It would be nice not to make things worse for them.

Liu Qiangdong said: "The batch of Panda's storage machines are going to be sold directly to the market."

"Small it, the more you smash it, the better." Zhou Buqi didn't care.

Liu Qiangdong smiled and said: "You really don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement. Domestic mobile phones can't be sold in the first place. If Panda's inventory machines are smashed, how can other manufacturers survive?"

Zhou Buqi heard some meaning, "What do you mean?"

Liu Qiangdong said: "The industry association came forward and contacted several mobile phone manufacturers such as Bird, TCL, and BBK, and spent a total of 30 million to buy this batch of goods."

"They can't even sell their own goods, so they want to help others?"

"That can't be smashed."

"Old Liu, just tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Liu Qiangdong said with a smile: "They definitely can't sell it, so they want to transfer this batch of goods to us at the original price. The total price of 85,000 mobile phones is 30 million, which is not high."

Zhou Buqi secretly sighed.

He really didn't want to accept this.

However, I really have to help my friends.

Xiaonei is doing well here, business is booming, and you can make money in everything you do. But Jingdong almost made sense. The biggest source of profit is the group buying of electronic products in cooperation with Xiaonei.

Zhou Buqi looked down on this little money, but Jingdong cared very much.

"How much profit can there be?"

"Double it."

"It won't affect your reputation, right?" Zhou Buqi asked again worriedly.

Liu Qiangdong said: "On the contrary, Panda mobile phone went bankrupt, and the industry has a bad impression of our online sales platform. If we take over this time, it will be considered as a favor to the industry association and major mobile phone manufacturers. It's all human."

Zhou Buqi thought it was a good thing, and after pondering for a while, he said, "Then arrange it, and sell this batch of mobile phones before the summer vacation in June."

"Okay! I'll contact them now!"

Liu Qiangdong was very excited.

The performance of mobile phone group buying has plummeted, and it is not Xiaonei that is most affected, but JD.com. When financing last year, the valuation was very high. This year's performance has plummeted, and investors are nagging in his ears every day.

After finishing the call, Zhou Buqi found a new text message on his phone.

Open it up——

"Mr. Zhou, I'm Che Xiao, thank you for taking care of me."

Zhou Buqi's heart beat.

Can't help but think of that graceful, soft, white, tender and enchanting body, especially the submissive Ren Jun Pin Wan, it is really... self-control! Self-control!

Zhou Buqi looked up at the writing on the wall, took a deep breath, felt that the cold treatment was not good, and seemed too heartless, so he replied: "You are a good actor, act well."

The text message replied instantly: "Thank you Mr. Zhou, I will remember your teaching. This is my mobile phone number. If you want to see me, you can find me. I am also looking forward to listening to your teaching again."

"Um."

Zhou Buqi replied a word lightly.

The text message from the other party was full of enthusiasm and politeness: "Okay, then I will not bother you. I wish you smooth work and a happy life. Goodbye."

Zhou Buqi felt very comfortable after sending these text messages.

Such a good upbringing, such a sensible person, in the future... ahem, self-control! Self-control!

Get distracted and check your email.

All executives above M3 must write a weekly report to him every week.

He no longer accepts emails from ordinary employees.

Usually executives, friends, and bigwigs in the industry.

There is a mail from the United States, which is gratifying.

Zhen Yu made a trip in person and talked with the Twitter team, that is, a few people from Odeo. Those young people were stunned and couldn't believe it, it was like pie falling from the sky.

I thought I bought the domain name of Twitter, but I didn't expect that the one invited was an angel investor.

Their team is very short of money.

How short of money?

If you invest $200,000, you can sit on the throne of CEO.

This time, it seems to be turning around!

From the email, Zhou Buqi knew the current situation of Twitter, the function has just been launched, and there is no funds. The management styles of the two founders of Odeo are in conflict. The young man planning to launch the Twitter business is a hippie with a nose ring...

At this time, whoever can take the funds to become the owner is the God of Odeo!

When it works well, you can take full control.

Zhou Buqi was moved immediately.

He knew what the future of Twitter represented. The timeline does not need to be too long, and within three to five years, it can reach a scale of tens of billions of dollars.

Of course, as an online media company, Twitter will definitely not be allowed to be controlled by the Chinese people. When it becomes bigger and more influential, the power must be returned to the Americans.

Even quitting is enough to make a fortune.

After thinking for two or three minutes, Zhou Buqi decided that he would go to the United States in person to resolve the Twitter issue.

Second, go out to relax.

In case he couldn't stand the temptation and was called over by Wang Xiaojun again.

Can no longer fall.

I went home and thought about it all night, and my mind was firm. When I went to the company the next day, I called Wang Haoyang and asked him to prepare foreign exchange and then go to the United States to start investment business.

Wang Haoyang's face turned green. Right now, with Shi Jinglin's group buying of cosmetics, he managed to make a sum of money and alleviate the financial crisis... Okay, let's go out to be chic again?

Boss, can you stop for a few months? Let us take a breath?

Seeing that he was about to cry, Zhou Buqi couldn't help laughing: "As for what? I see that the balance in the account is 120 million! Moreover, Shi Jinglin said that this meeting will do three waves of group buying of cosmetics in a row. The second wave It's not over yet."

Wang Haoyang struggled and said: "This is just the book funds. There is still a large amount of money that has not been allocated to the R\u0026D center."

"How many?"

"60 million!"

"A lot."

"Isn't it? This is basic scientific research, and it belongs to the most thankless scientific research direction."

"Don't say such things in the future. Now that the decision has been made, you have to go on doing it. That's it, I don't think it will cost much, 3 million US dollars is enough."

Wang Haoyang silently calculated in his heart, and heaved a sigh of relief, "Yes."

Zhou Buqi wanted to laugh a little. The God of Wealth, who was majestic in the company and held his head high wherever he went, always seemed to have a bitter face in front of him, and said, "There is a special financial department in the R\u0026D center, right?" ?”

"Yes, but..."

"Um?"

"There is a shortage of people in all departments now, and it is difficult to improve the efficiency of recruitment in a short period of time. The finance of the R\u0026D center is Zhang Youliang, the former financial director of Dongfang Micropoint."

Zhou Buqi's face darkened, a little displeased, "100 million a year's research and development funds, so hasty?"

The former Dongfang Micropoint team was all disbanded, even the name was changed, and it became Micropoint Technology. As a result, the former general manager and chief financial officer were allowed to work on a large project. Isn't this creating risks?

Wang Haoyang quickly said: "Youliang has good abilities, and I have also inspected..."

"no!"

Zhou Buqi flatly refused.

Wang Haoyang said: "Then switch the financial director of Friends.com and the R\u0026D center? I suggested it before, but Yiming didn't agree, saying that the cooperation was very pleasant and he didn't want to change the team."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "Swap!"

Wang Haoyang gritted his teeth, "Okay, then I will arrange it right away. If Yiming is not satisfied, I will go to Friends.com to be his financial director for half a year."

It's like a military order.

Looking at his heavy and powerful steps, Zhou Buqi shook his head, feeling that this chief financial officer is not very competent, and he always yells and yells when he does something.

Specific financial management skills may be pretty good. But my personal thinking, vision, and pattern can't keep up.

Take it easy.

After the past two years, look for better people.

The matter of going to the United States is basically settled.

But Zhou Buqi always felt that something was missing, and then, he received a very pleasant surprise call.

From Liu Qing.

"I found the person you want!"

"Really? Thank you so much!"

"But you have to go to America yourself?"

"Um?"

Zhou Buqi was taken aback for a moment, thinking it was such a coincidence.

Liu Qing said: "Since last year, Chinese executives in Silicon Valley have started a wave of returning home. As long as there is an opportunity, of course, the hometown is better. I contacted two front-line Chinese executives in Silicon Valley, and one top executive , you have to talk about it yourself.”

"What are the levels of first-line executives and top executives?"

"Vice presidents and senior vice presidents of companies like Microsoft and Google are considered top executives. If they are presidents of business groups, or vice presidents of some weaker companies, they are considered first-line executives."

"Why vice president?"

"Do you think the presidents and CEOs of Silicon Valley companies will give up their jobs and return to China with you?"

"Okay. What about you? When are you coming to help me? Let me tell you, I'm planning to go to the United States to start a new business."

Liu Qing was surprised, "What business?"

Zhou Buqi said: "I'm going to invest in an Internet project. This is your major. I think you'd better go with me. When you join the job in the future, these are all your business areas."

"I won't be officially resigning until the end of the month..." Liu Qing paused, and said bluntly, "Well, you set a time first, and then tell me. I'll ask for three days off and go there with you, and deal with recruitment and investment. Everything is settled."

"Okay! Sure enough, she is a strong woman!"

After the call was over, Zhou Buqi remembered that he had already made an appointment with someone. No wonder he always felt that this trip to the United States was a bit empty.

Immediately dialed the phone again, and said to Boss Zhang upstairs, "Charles, when are you going to the United States? Yes, I will go too... ah... I can do it... well, next Tuesday...next Wednesday, okay ! Then it's settled!"
