Chapter 332 The true meaning of 'Kong Rong gives up the pear'
Kong Rong gave up pears?
[You mean... you want me to transfer my idol shares immediately? 】
Hu Yifei was stunned for a moment on the phone and asked hesitantly.
This... sounds like a method, but this is the situation now.
Unless you catch a stupid roe deer, let alone selling it at a low price, you probably won’t be able to find a taker if you sell it at a broken price...
"I'm not talking about idol shares."
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be relieved.
"I mean everything."
【Well……】
Hearing this, Hu Yifei was really confused.
[‘All’ means…]
"Of course it means everything in the literal sense, including idols, your company, and other assets in your name that have been dragged down."
After a period of silence from the other side.
【Mr. Meng, are you kidding?】
"Of course not. Of course, this is just my immature suggestion. How you decide is entirely up to you."
【Uh...can you tell me the reason?】
I just ran into some cash flow problem, you want me to sell my old capital?
The best solution? That’s it?
"Isn't the reason obvious? Idol's investment failure is a foregone conclusion. It can't twist its thighs with its arms. This is the general trend and the losses are irreversible.
You have no ability to make money out of thin air, and you are even less likely to influence national policy.
Therefore, you cannot avoid the word "lack of money" in any subsequent countermeasures.
From what I see in your face, you are a person who has ideas and is unwilling to give up easily. My prediction is correct. You will definitely choose to find ways to raise funds next and try to keep your company as much as possible.
But I'm afraid your ending is not very optimistic.
Sometimes persistence may not necessarily lead to good results, but giving up decisively is the wisdom of life.
The market waits for no one. The longer you hold on, the worse the situation will be, and the more your assets will shrink, eventually falling to the floor price.
What I mean is for you to stop your losses as soon as possible, and maybe you can make a comeback."
Stop loss?
Isn’t this just cutting off my flesh?
It sounds reasonable, but I will never accept it!
Do you still want to count?
What to count? Pickled pepper chicken feet?
In his heart, no matter what, Idol Company and his Bai Ji can still last at least a year and a half.
If there is external capital investment or a big project is taken on, maybe self-rescue can be successful?
The person who was "suffocated by his dreams" was still struggling abroad. How could he come to me and have no choice but to cut his flesh and cut his losses?
How do you know that in this one year, I won't be able to turn the tide and come back to life?
Hesitation may lead to defeat, but decisiveness will not be in vain?
Hu Yifei sneered at this so-called "best policy"!
Facing the long silence on the other side of the phone.
Meng Lang had a pretty good guess as to Hu Yifei's thoughts at this moment.
Judging from the future context, the other party will sell off the boxing gym under his name soon, just to raise funds.
But in the end, he still did not escape the fate of the company going bankrupt and being acquired by himself a year later.
What does this mean?
It shows that the other party finally chose to fight to the end...
I must have received this call in the last episode. According to my personality, I would definitely give some advice, but it still didn't change the result. This shows that I was just wasting my breath.
In today's situation, for example, Idol New Energy is the stock that has hit its limit, and Baiji is the "related sector" that has been dragged down.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a grasshopper after autumn, and it won't be able to jump around for much longer.
Only the leader "Hu Gongzi" who was trapped in the game was unwilling to admit defeat and left the game.
Whether it's luck or pride.
"Don't abandon, don't give up" is the best psychological portrayal of Hu Yifei at this time...
It can't be said to be the other party's shortcomings.
But that’s how entrepreneurship is, sometimes it’s time and destiny, and it doesn’t depend on people’s will...
[According to Mr. Meng, the best policy is to stop losses, but what does this have to do with Kong Rong letting the pear go?]
Hu Yifei looked around and talked about him.
"Haha, Kong Rong gave up the pears, not necessarily because of humility and courtesy, but also because he didn't like pears..."
【What's the meaning?】
"It means that this pear is tasteless in your hands, and it would be a pity to throw it away. But if it is in the hands of others, then maybe it will be put to its fullest use?"
[Who are the ‘others’ you are referring to?]
"Buddha said, don't tell me. I will tell you when you make up your mind."
【This...what about the middle strategy?】
This sentence undoubtedly shows Hu Yifei's unwillingness to choose the "best policy".
"Well, if you don't want to stop losses, you should at least stop adding investment.
It should be noted...if you put out the fire with enough fuel, the fire will never be extinguished if the fuel is not used up."
Hu Yifei: "..."
If you ask me for money to save the fire, will it become a salary-based firefighting?
Why can't I be a brave man who works for everyone, even if I end up freezing to death in the snow...
Oh! In my eyes, it’s lighting a fire with a salary, but in your eyes, it’s putting out a fire with a salary?
【What's the next step?】
Hu Yifei resisted the desire to complain and decided to listen to the rest of the plan.
He wanted to see how far the worst strategy could go if it was already so insulting!
As a result, Meng Lang gave him a sentence.
"It's easy to make the decision. Just do it according to your own ideas."
Hu Yifei: "..."
Damn it! What do you mean the best thing to do is just follow my own ideas?
It means...no matter what I want to do, it will be a bad idea?
This is not very harmful, but very insulting!
No matter how big my temper I am, I can't stand it!
…
"Bah!" He hung up the phone angrily.
Da Lang, who was listening to the whole process, had a strange expression on his face.
"It's so annoying!" Hu Yifei said depressedly.
"Don't be angry. You also said that I am an expert. It is normal for an expert to have a weird temper.
Besides, I think some of what the other party said makes sense.
If it is really impossible to do anything, it would be better to prepare in advance, otherwise the losses will only increase."
"Why does it make sense! With such a setback, you want me, Hu Yifei, to give up the family business that I have built up over the years?
How can I hold my head high in front of the old man?
It hasn’t reached that point yet, I can still borrow funds, and I can also get mortgage loans. At worst, I will sell the shares of Idou Company first, and I have to keep Bai Ji no matter what!"
Hu Yifei looked unyielding.
You can’t give up before you’ve tried it, right? Just do it and it’s over, it’s not like you haven’t fought against a headwind!
Da Lai was helpless and stopped trying to persuade him.
After so many years, she naturally knows what kind of character Hu Yifei is, he is the type who never looks back until he hits a wall.
Otherwise, not every business will be willing to admit failure until it goes bankrupt...
"I don't believe it. Even if he is a god, there is no way he can really do calculations!
Go and call me the new HR manager of the company."
"What do you want to do?"
"From now on, Bai Ji will cancel weekend breaks and increase incentives!
Next, the company will strengthen the performance sprint, the sales department will increase assessments, and give the R&D department a death order. I must build the "Star Array Go" before next month to open up the market!
As long as Bai Ji turns losses into profits and can make blood, we will still have a chance to turn defeat into victory!"
"Star Array" Go is a Go AI being developed by Baiji Company, and its positioning is similar to AlphaGo.
"Increase incentives? But at this time, shouldn't we try to cut costs and reduce expenditures?
With such an incentive method, we won’t be able to hold on for long..." Da Lang said doubtfully.
“The only way to reduce costs is to increase efficiency!
Spending less money at this time means that our key product will be further out of reach.
Once the company cannot persist, all the funds we invested previously will be in vain and completely wasted.
Rather than cutting flesh with a dull knife, it is better to sink the boat and fight with a last ditch effort!
Now the company has been forced into a desperate situation. We don't have the right time and place, but at least one person and He!
I just have to work together from top to bottom to squeeze out the potential of our employees, so that we can have a chance of success!"
"But...I see that all your employees outside are listless. Is it really okay to be so busy?"
“Everyone is forced to come out. If you don’t push yourself, you won’t know how much potential you have!
Ours is by no means a success, we are just working hard quietly and then surprising everyone!"
Seeing Hu Yifei's complacent look, Da Lang could only give up his persuasion temporarily.
After all, she is not good at company management...
It didn't take long.
Sure enough, there was a burst of howling ghosts and wolf howls outside the office soon...
"Did you see it? This means that the momentum is like a rainbow and the military spirit can be used!" Hu Yifei nodded with satisfaction.
Big Wave: "..."
For most people, they obviously cannot learn the Dugu Nine Swords.
Facing the huge pressure to survive, if you want to survive, you can only pick up the book...
Gritting his teeth...
…
"I can only help you so far..."
On the other side, Meng Lang also put down the phone.
He didn't expect anyone to have Gao Yuan's courage of a strong man breaking his wrist, but if today's words could make him wake up earlier and save him less losses, it would be the most benevolent thing.
With Yan Weiwei's relationship, he is a "fellow disciple" in name only.
And he has pretty good senses for Hu Yifei, the second generation.
At least after listening to his "bad idea", he still politely held back and said, "I've been taught a lesson, and I'm grateful. I'll listen to what you have to say..." After waiting for the scene, he hung up the communication...
Considering the identity of the other party, it is really valuable.
Although waiting until the other party is at the end of its rope and the company is on the verge of bankruptcy before making an acquisition, you can undoubtedly achieve your goals at the minimum cost.
But as long as the other party can figure it out, he doesn't mind spending more money now, exchanging money for time, pocketing Bai Ji in advance, and selling him a favor.
In fact, compared to the value of this company, Hu Yifei himself is also "valuable".
This makes me have to mention the allusion "Kong Rong gave up the pear" again.
"If you melt four years old, you can make pears."
Why would an ordinary story of "giving a pear" be written into the Three Character Classic and become famous throughout the ages?
Compared to him, Kong Xiaorong, am I, Meng Xiaolang, inferior?
We are all little brats, don’t we just give in a pear? Doesn’t he give in less?
Looking at Meng Xiaolang's entire childhood, it was basically a "Chronicle of Rang Li", and in the end it was a conditioned reflex...
Why hasn't anyone written him into the "Nine-Year Compulsory Education Textbooks" so that he can be praised from generation to generation?
Look beyond the surface.
Isn't it just because one is named Kong and the other is named Meng?
Kong Rong, a native of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, one of the seven sons of Jian'an, and the 20th generation grandson of Confucius!
Meng Lang, who was born in the early 21st century, was a great hero of Guanzhong and a descendant of Confucian Mencius for who knows how many generations!
They were all the leaders of Confucius and Mencius, but Meng Xiaolang's status in the world compared to Kong Rong's... was naturally different.
Since the Han Dynasty, the descendants of Confucius have had a special status in subsequent dynasties.
Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty once appointed Confucius's 8th generation grandson as a sacrificial king, and he has continued to do so since then.
Starting from the Song Dynasty, the eldest descendants of Confucius were named Feng Sheng Gong and Yan Sheng Gong. It was not until the Republic of China that this title was cancelled.
In contrast, Kong Xiaorong has a background, while Meng Xiaolang only has a back view at most...
What this story wants to tell minors is that humility is our traditional Chinese virtue.
What this story should tell adults is that your humility may be praised by your parents, but you want to be praised by the whole world for your humility...
Then you need a strong background to match...
It goes without saying about Hu Yifei’s family background.
Strictly speaking, his generation is already considered the third generation.
Although Su City is still not as good as the top four major cities, its urban GDP ranks sixth in the country, making it the strongest prefecture-level city!
Its status in Jiangsu Province is even higher than that of Jinling, the provincial capital.
A "Qianglong" who can parachute here as the second-in-command, how could Father Hu belong to a simple family?
Otherwise, there are so many high-quality IT companies on the market, and there is no one more suitable than Baiji. Why do brothers only like this one?
Just because in a country where "guan" is the standard, if you want to develop into a super unicorn, you can't bypass the word "guan".
For example, when Alibaba Mama went to the other side of the ocean to ring the bell, there were a few very inconspicuous "minor shareholders", but the background behind them was terrifying. After the listing, their net worth doubled...
This is the unspoken and unspoken rule of the industry.
If you want to become bigger and stronger, your company must have several such "Chinese partners".
Bai Yeji is destined to be a company that attracts the attention of many forces.
Many sensitive technologies are inseparable from state support.
Instead of having to let some arrogant and domineering "Mr. Zhao" come in to disrupt the situation in the future, it would be better to find a "Mr. Hu" with good connections and acceptable character to join us once and for all.
He also asked Ling to check Hu Yifei specifically.
Not to mention other things about the other party, a "certificate of no criminal record" is required before joining the gang.
This at least shows that the other party has no style issues.
Meng Lang's idea was to leave him some company shares and tie him to the "Bai Yeji" chariot...
With Mr. Hu as the door god here, we can completely avoid a lot of troubles in the future.
Of course, the premise is that Hu Yifei cooperates enough and voluntarily gives up the pear...
If you can "Kong Rong give up the pear", what's the matter if I let you "be famous all over the world"?
