Chapter 168 First Impression
Lin Feng has heard of Tan Zhi’s name. He was once the deputy general manager of Microsoft (China), and then he switched jobs to the leading domestic e-commerce company 8848 as CEO. Unfortunately, the fate of 8848 is the same as that of its derivative my8848.
, in the near future, this once all-powerful company in China will collapse.
As the CEO of 8848, Tan Zhi was rated as one of the "top ten losers on the Internet". After that, Tan Zhi seemed to disappear briefly for a few years, but if there is any news about Tan Zhi in Lin Feng's memory, he has become a focus.
Media CEO.
The reason why Lin Feng was deeply impressed by Tan Zhi was that, firstly, he was once the deputy general manager of Microsoft (China); secondly, he was born in a farming family, endured hardships all the way, and finally began to stand out through hard work. His life is full of
The roughness can be seen from his iconic silver hair.
"Dr. Lin, thank you for your respect, I will say some things directly. I have a good relationship with Lao Tan. He is now the CEO of 8848, but the current situation of 8848 is the same as my my8848. It is estimated that if there is no decisive decision within the year
If investors raise funds, they can only go bankrupt. But this is definitely not Lao Tan's problem, this is the problem of investors." At this point, Wang Juntao muttered a few times in a low voice. Lin Feng couldn't hear clearly, but he could vaguely guess that it should be
It's a standard national curse.
"Director Lin, Lao Tan is full of wisdom and has an extremely keen grasp of business opportunities. I think he must be the talent you need very much." Wang Juntao promoted.
Lin Feng was naturally delighted by Wang Juntao's promotion. The company was already in urgent need of talents, and he would also start a new company. He was very thirsty for talents, and he wanted as many as he wanted without any ambiguity. However, listening to the meaning of Wang Juntao's words, he felt that Wang Juntao was right.
He still didn't give up on my8848. He just couldn't bear to watch his old friend sink while he was selling this time.
"Mr. Wang, thank you for introducing Tan Zhi and me to each other. But again, I have taken your astronomy to a new level. Dingdang.com now only makes money from advertising and provides a trading platform for many merchants.
It is not strictly e-commerce. The addition of Wang Juntao will allow Dingdang.com to explore new areas and achieve real qualitative improvement.
Wang Juntao's voice on the other end of the phone also sounded a sigh of relief. There were many icings on the cake, but little help in times of need. Although Lin Feng did not raise funds for my8848, it was not Lin Feng's fault. He could only blame his own company's equity for being too chaotic. And he was almost at a loss.
Wang Juntao was extremely grateful that he still kept this promise despite the road conditions.
"Thank you, Director Lin, for your kindness, but I still don't want to give up my8848. If there is an opportunity for cooperation one day, I will definitely contact Director Lin." Although Wang Juntao refused, he had already decided in his heart that if my8848 really couldn't sustain it, he would take it with him.
The team that had been working hard for several years defected to Lin Feng.
"Director Lin, I'll give you Lao Tan's phone number. I'll talk to him first, and you can make an appointment to talk to him later." After Wang Juntao finished speaking, he hung up the phone and called Tan Zhi.
Lin Feng waited for a few minutes and then called Tan Zhi. During the phone call, Tan Zhi was quite high-spirited and seemed to be very interested in Lin Feng. After a brief conversation, they made an appointment the next day.
Have morning tea at Sihai Hyatt Seafood World in Beijing.
"Lao Bai, I'm leaving." Lin Feng said hello and left immediately. He has to meet Tan Zhi tomorrow, so now he rushes back to the Internet to collect as much information about Tan Zhi as possible, so as not to know nothing tomorrow.
Lao Bai still sat there silently drinking, and just nodded to Lin Feng's greeting. Lin Feng didn't care and left with a smile. He looked at the bright moon in the sky and hummed softly - tonight is a good night.
The next day, Lin Feng arrived at the Sihai Hyatt Seafood World early. Since he was thirsty for talents, he naturally had to set an example as a courteous corporal.
Sihai Hyatt Seafood World has a very good geographical environment. It is located in a prime location of the Asian Games Village and is only 300 meters away from the Olympic Park that is about to be built. It has a business area of 12,000 square meters and three floors above ground of 7,000 square meters for the luxurious Sihai Hyatt Seafood World restaurant.
The two underground floors of 5,000 square meters are the most modern business and leisure center.
Of course, Sihai Hyatt is most famous for its No. 1 raw porridge in Beijing. This is a signature dish that everyone who has tasted it is full of praise. Of course, the price is a little expensive, but not too expensive.
Not every day, even ordinary white-collar workers can afford it.
Not long after, the silver-haired Tan Zhi arrived.
The first impression Tan Zhi gave to Lin Feng was of the vicissitudes of life and the calmness that came from his bones, as if there was nothing in the world that made him panic.
"Mr. Tan, thank you for your compliment." Lin Feng quickly stood up, and the silver-haired Tan Zhi made Lin Feng naturally use the honorific title for the elder.
"Director Lin, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." Tan Zhi was not late, the time was just right, but Lin Feng arrived a little earlier.
Tan Zhi has also been observing Lin Feng from the moment he saw Lin Feng. Yesterday, since Wang Juntao called him and suggested that he resign from his current position and go to Lin Feng's company, and then had a brief conversation with Lin Feng on the phone, Tan Zhi
I am very much looking forward to meeting today.
Tan Zhi has long heard of Lin Feng, a man who has been in the limelight recently in the IT industry. Tan Zhi is deeply impressed by his youth and the 4 billion financing he and Li Zekai have received. Tan Zhi is also extremely moved by Ma Juntao's proposal, especially
I heard on the phone last night that Lin Feng was going to make big moves, which made Tan Zhi, who had been trapped in 8848's poor financial situation and had nothing to do, even more itchy.
However, Tan Zhi is still a little worried. He is well aware of his personality, which is typical of Northeastern people's cheerful personality, but because of this, it is sometimes difficult to consider the face of the company's major shareholders in his behavior, and there are also some so-called company politics and other issues. Lin Feng
At such a young age, Tan Zhi was afraid that he might not be able to get along with him.
However, when we met for the first time today, Lin Feng did not have the domineering attitude of a successful young man. He was polite with a little humility, and the "you" made Tan Zhi feel very comfortable. This is not because Tan Zhi is vain, but because he
Now I just have morning tea with Lin Feng as an ordinary friend. Everyone is equal, and there is no question of who is the subordinate. In China, Tan Zhi is definitely a generation older than Lin Feng. The phrase "you" Tan Zhi
It's wise to bear it. And the word "you" also allowed Tan Zhi to see that Lin Feng did not have the ugly nature of those young men.
If the two met for the first time, and Lin Feng acted condescendingly, Tan Zhi would definitely turn around and leave. Indeed, 8848 is now in an irreversible crisis, but Tan Zhi still has some self-esteem, and he can't stand this anger. If
This is the case now. Once we cooperate in the future, it will be difficult to get along with each other.
When they met for the first time, the two had a good impression of each other.
The two of them sat down. After asking Tan Zhi, Lin Feng ordered a few of Sihai Hyatt's most famous signature dishes. Of course, raw porridge is a must.
Tan Zhi nodded secretly in his heart again. Not to be extravagant and wasteful, this is also in line with Tan Zhi's wishes. Nowadays, young people are extremely wasteful and do not know hardships. Especially when they are rich, they love extravagance. They often eat with two people at the same table.
Vegetables are extremely wasteful. For Tan Zhi, who grew up in a rural area and had a rough life, this is difficult for him to accept, and he is even a little angry.
Lin Feng doesn't have this habit, which is great! - Tan Zhi has a better impression of Lin Feng.
The two of them were drinking morning tea while chatting casually. They didn't deliberately bring the topic to business, but they also didn't deliberately avoid the current situation of the domestic IT industry. They just chatted casually, thinking about that, and talking about that. This made Lin
Feng and Tan Zhi were both very happy, and they drank their morning tea until noon without realizing it.
Lin Feng saw that it was lunch time again, and after asking Tan Zhi, he asked the waiter to serve a few exquisite side dishes, and then ordered two bowls of raw porridge, and continued to eat and talk. Lin Feng originally wanted to order the famous Australian abalone.
, but during the conversation, Lin Feng noticed that Tan Zhi was very disgusted with these luxury goods and did not order them.
After lunch was finished and the waiter was ordered to serve two cups of Longjing, both of them looked calm and knew it was time to get to the point.
From the morning to now, several hours of conversations have greatly improved Lin Feng's understanding of Tan Zhi. Tan Zhi is definitely a talent, especially when it comes to grasping business opportunities. His keen sense is unmatched by others. It's a pity that 8848
The poor financial situation dragged him down and made him trapped in the shallow sea, but he also fulfilled himself.
He must not let this talent go! - Lin Feng secretly made up his mind.
However, before inviting Tan Zhi to join the company, Lin Feng also wanted to investigate him.
"Mr. Tan, I have a question that I would like to ask you." Lin Feng took a sip of tea and said.
Tan Zhi's brows twitched, knowing that a test was coming. This was probably the test for Lin Feng to decide whether to invite him, so he remained silent at the moment and smiled slightly, indicating that he was all ears.
"Mr. Tan, I want to acquire a company, but now an investment fund owns 24.78% of the company's shares. I proposed to acquire its shares, but the other party knew that I was determined to acquire their shares, so the lion opened his mouth.
I have offered a price of 300 million and will never let go. What should I do now? I must buy this company, but I don’t want to buy it at such a high price and let others get it in vain.” Lin Feng’s eyes were bright.
He looked at Tan Zhi. This question was not only an assessment, but also Lin Feng's current predicament. He hoped that Tan Zhi could help him solve his doubts.
