Wall Street Legend - Chapter 422
Chapter 422 Ambitious is a good thing
Boss Zhang was a little scared.
After everything has been done, it is inevitable that you will feel guilty.
Ye Dongqing happened to come to the company at such a time to investigate. There are so many businesses in China, but he chose Longteng as the first one. In his opinion, this is enough to show something.
So I brought a few executives to go with me. When I met Ye Dongqing, I had a bright smile on my face.
But he may have forgotten that Ye Dongqing grew up in the United States, and according to the customs there, he always said something…
I still remember the scene when Boss Zhang approached me and said that he wanted to build a mobile phone together.
At that time, China’s mobile phone market had just started, and the infrastructure hadn’t been fully completed. Ye Dongqing felt that it was profitable, so he paid for the cooperation.
The expansion speed of Longteng mobile phone is much faster than they imagined.
At that time, most people’s income was not high, and the average salary of the urban population was only RMB 8,000 to 9,000 a year. Converted into US dollars, it was almost a thousand dollars, and it is the same now.
The word “average” has already revealed a lot. Asking them to spend three or four months’ salary to buy mobile phones may be willing, but it will be very painful. The market is still dominated by imported mobile phones. In this case, Longteng mobile phones appear in In front of people, an almost crazy advertising and marketing model was adopted. Almost 100,000 advertisements were posted on the rural walls alone, and the advertisements for last year’s Spring Festival Gala were also bought.
The price has been lowered to more than 1,000 yuan, the basic functions are available, the appearance and durability are also good, and the cost-effectiveness has seized a large market, and the revenue is so good that Ye Dongqing gave up her original idea and decided to keep it. A hen that can only lay golden eggs.
In the past, some employees stole his money, and some people made mistakes and caused losses. In Ye Dongqing’s eyes, those practices were not as bad as Boss Zhang’s. The middle and low-level employees messed around casually, and their influence was limited, but this time it was the partners who “rebelled”. If there is a problem directly from the above, if it is not stopped, the company may be over in a short time. After all, it is only an assembly foundry, and there is actually no real technology.
At this moment, Boss Zhang is walking in front.
Wearing an English-style black suit, a coat and a red tie, Ye Dongqing’s complexion is not very good-looking, although she is still young, she already has momentum.
No matter how many people were still following behind him, he asked directly: “Tell me, what happened to that Red Star company? You should know that based on your current behavior, I can already let you hand over the management right. When we did business In the cooperation charter, there is a moral clause in it, do you really know what you are doing?”
Boss Zhang’s smile suddenly froze on his face, and his footsteps stopped. Ye Dongqing didn’t wait for him, and continued to walk forward.
There was a little panic in his eyes, he walked quickly to follow, and said in a relaxed tone on purpose: “My wife is idle at home and has nothing to do, isn’t this a company that she has set up to play on her own, don’t scare me, we There is nothing wrong with Longteng Company.”
“yes?”
Ye Dongqing turned to look at him, and continued: “Then why did I hear that MediaTek deliberately squeezed out production capacity to that company, and also heard that dealers are forced to take the mobile phone with that company when they pick up the goods, in order to make your wife toss Just kidding, don’t care about our company’s interests? I’m just here to ask you, which company’s boss do you want to be, if you decide to go out, or you sell your shares, or I sell your shares, If your heart is still with this company, then don’t continue.”
Although they had dinner together and met a few times, but in fact the relationship was just that, the other party made a mistake first, and he didn’t feel the need to give face.
At first, Boss Zhang often called him to ask him about marketing. Later, Longteng mobile phone became more and more popular, and the frequency of communication became less and less.
To put it bluntly, Ye Dongqing is a shareholder of many big companies, and a Longteng mobile phone with no technology has not been taken seriously by him. Even in China, it can only be ranked fourth. The above are Tencent, Alibaba, The logistics company named “Pioneer Speed”, and then the mobile phone company, not to mention the industry in the United States.
If Boss Zhang is determined, he can just cash out and leave without any regrets. When it comes to him, it’s still the same sentence, money doesn’t matter, the most important thing is to be happy, there is no need to force Partners disgust themselves.
People have different hearts. Some people are grateful for the help, and some people start to swell when they get rich. This time, no one is sorry for anyone. It is just a difference in management and operation. It is undeniable that Boss Zhang did spend more energy than Ye Dongqing and helped him earn money. A lot of money.
If you have to set a price, Longteng is worth at least two billion US dollars, because the prospects are uncertain, the competition is also high, and foreign companies such as Nokia are about to build factories in China and launch low-end and low-priced products for Longteng, so it is estimated Value and immediate profitability cannot be equated.
Before.
Boss Zhang felt that he could give it a go, and felt that he didn’t need to care about the views of this Chinese-American. It wasn’t until this time that he really questioned himself face-to-face that he became nervous and flustered.
Some words have come to his lips, but Boss Zhang didn’t say them.
He came to his office, waved his hand directly, told a group of executives not to follow closely, and then asked Ye Dongqing, “I have too few shares in this company. If I sell shares, will you buy them?”
“…Whoever you want to sell to, I won’t buy it.
I understand what you mean, so hurry up and cash out, and then step back from this position, so that everyone can get together and leave. “
Ye Dongqing was very straightforward. She neither asked to stay nor had any emotional fluctuations. She continued: “You can leave the job voluntarily and find a reason. I just want to say that it is good to be ambitious, but don’t overdo it.”
…
Leave this sentence behind and leave immediately. It seems that Boss Zhang has already made up his mind. It is a good thing to cash out and leave now.
As for what happens after you leave, that’s none of Ye Dongqing’s business. Anyway, in his opinion, it’s already very difficult to replicate Longteng’s success. Market opportunities are hard to come by. To get a second development opportunity, it may be himself who said cash out today.
Downstairs, Sun Yi thought that he would have to wait for a long time, but he didn’t expect Ye Dongqing to come down as soon as he went upstairs.
The tone was surprised: “What’s the matter, are you done?”
“Yeah, don’t you think our group of bosses will be very busy? We don’t waste time, we spend money to buy other people’s time, so I can take you out for a stroll, first see Jinling, and then go to the south.”
Sun Yi subconsciously thought that he was here to accompany her, and felt a little embarrassed when he thought of this.
