Chapter 182 President Wen's First Foreign Negotiations
Vacation days always fly by.
This morning, when Wen Liang opened his eyes and saw the familiar ceiling in the master bedroom, it was already the 25th.
Finishing the exam on the 19th seems like yesterday.
6 days passed like this.
The electric curtains slowly opened, and wisps of scorching sunshine poured into the bedroom. In the new week, the continuous rain finally stopped.
Wen Liang stretched out, put on his home clothes, opened the door and walked towards a new day.
Unlike usual, there was no Li Rang waiting outside the door with his little hands waving.
Li Rang followed Li Yanbai back to Jiangxia yesterday afternoon...
Except for Qingming Festival, Li Rang hasn't been home for nearly three months. It's summer vacation now, so Li Yanbai took him back on the way.
Li Rang was in a dilemma.
She wanted to go back and see her grandparents again, and she also wanted to have sister Su Jian in Yangcheng.
Finally, Su Jian mentioned that she and Wen Liang would return to Jiangxia soon, so Xiao Li happily followed Li Yanbai on the high-speed rail.
Without this ‘annoying spirit’, even the life in the house would be a little less lively.
Hearing the sound, Wang Wanyu greeted: "That's right, breakfast has just been prepared."
"I wanted to call you, you are very busy today."
Wen Liang responded, washed his face and brushed his teeth before going to the dining table.
After looking at Wang Wanyu for a few times, Wen Liang said in a tactful tone: "Auntie, Rang Rang has gone home. Are you a little uncomfortable with it?"
"No." Wang Wanyu shook her head and laughed, "I used to travel a lot on business, so it was normal for me not to see Xiao Rang for three to five days."
Wen Liang: "..."
Fine.
It seems that he is just not used to Xiao Li letting him go home!
…………
After breakfast, Wang Wanyu went out.
Wen Liang was the only one left at home, sitting on the single sofa in a daze quietly.
The thoughts are still spreading out boundlessly, and then they are gathered together little by little.
It was almost 9:40 when Wen Liang got up and walked into the master bedroom.
I picked out a set of casual business-style clothes from the closet and put them on. After some deliberation, I picked a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch with a fancy dial and put it on my left hand.
I straightened my appearance in the dressing mirror and then went out.
Soon, Wen Liang got into the company's Mercedes-Benz S600 at the west gate of the community, and Li Xia sat in the passenger seat. They all waited for a while.
At early ten o'clock, the car stopped at the entrance of a coffee shop near the north of Tianhe Park.
There is a Mercedes-Benz S500 with Guangdong A license plate in the parking space in front of the store.
Wen Liang noticed.
After entering the store, the waiter told him that the customer had arrived, which made Wen Liang mutter in his heart.
'I arrived so much earlier than the agreed time.'
Wen Liang and Liu Chiping agreed on a time of 10:30 in the morning, also considering that it would take time for Liu Chiping and Maperli to arrive from Pengcheng.
Unexpectedly, people arrived early.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s very close to the WeChat headquarters, but Bolang has been dealing with WeChat since April, and Wen Liang naturally knows the address of the WeChat headquarters.
Coincidentally, it is located in the Southern Communications Building not far east of the South Gate of China Normal University.
The straight-line distance from the Silver Gray Building where Bolang is located is no more than 2 kilometers.
WeChat is a business that Goose Factory attaches great importance to, but it does not work at the Pengcheng headquarters. As far as Wen Liang knows, there have been many versions spread online, and the core of them is inseparable from Duoniu Duoniu, the father of WeChat.
Wen Liang doesn't care about the actual situation.
In short, in order to meet each other, Wen Liang took the initiative to arrange the meeting place with Mapperly not far from WeChat headquarters.
After all, the biggest intersection between Bolang and White Goose is not mobile games, but mobile communication and social networking.
Wen Liang is also quite curious about the future richest man. After all, he has never met him in person in his previous life.
…
Under the guidance of the waiter, Wen Liang walked into the reserved box. The first thing he saw was Maperli, and Liu Chiping was also in the room.
And Xiaolong from WeChat.
Facing the gazes of the three people, a smile appeared on Wen Liang's face. He speeded up his pace and apologized: "Sorry, I'm late."
"It's because we got here early." Mapperly stood up and stretched out his right hand, "Maplely."
Wen Liang shook Maperli's hand: "Hello, Mr. Ma, Wen Liang, it's our first time meeting you, please take care of me."
"Liu Chiping."
"Little dragon."
"beginning of summer."
Wen Liang did not arrange for Wan An to follow him.
They shook hands to get to know each other and took their seats respectively.
Not much pleasantries were exchanged.
It is impossible for Mapleli and the others to say something like, "Mr. Wen is indeed young and promising" on such an occasion.
Although the words are complimentary, they are no longer suitable to be placed on the head of Wen Liang.
Later, Li Xia asked the waiter to arrange two new pots of tea.
I don't care if drinking tea in a cafe is wrong.
After the tea was served, Wen Liang introduced it with a smile: "This is the tea I brought specially. It's not bad. Please give it a try, Mr. Ma."
"Then you have to give it a try." Mapperly smiled, but there was no other meaning in his tone.
In fact, neither he nor Liu Chiping nor Li Xia understood Wen Liang's intention of bringing tea.
…
Wen Liang made some preparations for this meeting.
First of all, Mapelly is also an ordinary person and does not have omniscience and omnipotence.
Secondly, Mapleli has been in the business for a long time, and his thinking mode must be far beyond ordinary people.
Again, it is important to make good use of this opportunity and ultimately achieve his own goals.
So Wen Liang has been thinking of ways to release some unusual signals from the beginning.
For example, relying on one's youth, one should be more casual, more high-profile, and more unrestrained.
There is no way, the resources that Wen Liang and Mapperly can leverage are several orders of magnitude different, so in the end, we still have to make use of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, and make this gap ineffective at some levels.
After taking two sips of tea, Liu Chiping commented that the tea was good.
Afterwards, Wen Liang looked at Mapperly and said with a smile: "It's an honor for me that Chairman Ma can come to Yangcheng. Bolang is still a newcomer in the Internet industry, and he will be able to rely on Chairman Ma in the future."
"I don't dare to take what President Wen said." Mapperly said with a smile, "We are here to help each other and achieve win-win cooperation."
Wen Liang echoed with a smile and directly stretched the background: "Yes, win-win cooperation is the most important theme and value in the 21st century."
He also said: "Bolang was just a fledgling company, and it has grown to where it is today by accident. It's like walking on thin ice every day."
It doesn’t matter how you interpret this.
There is obviously ambiguity in it.
The so-called walking on thin ice can refer to Bolang or WeChat.
Mapperly smiled and said in a slow tone: "Yes, the characteristics of the Internet industry make us all walk on thin ice and have to deal with it carefully."
Wen Liang deliberately delved into some topics: "Bolang's development has not come easily. In fact, we have been seeking balance. I would like to ask Chairman Ma a question. What does Chairman Ma think is the core value of Bolang?"
Mapelly's heart moved slightly.
Wen Liang's inconsistency, which left no trace at all, made him unsure of what the overly young Wen Liang would be thinking.
Now this issue forced Mapelli to think a little more.
Bolang’s core value?
Of course he has his own answer to this question.
However, Mapperli also believes that no matter how much the outside world knows, it is just a superficial view and may not be clear.
As soon as his thoughts changed, Mapperly replied bluntly: "I think the core value of your company is actually Mr. Wen himself."
Wen Liang raised his brows when he heard this, and couldn't help laughing: "Dr. Ma has been praised too much, but... I can't sell myself for money."
The joy between his eyebrows naturally fell into Mapperly's eyes.
So Mapperly also laughed, but had no intention of answering.
At this time, Liu Chiping next to him smiled and continued: "Dong Ma, the core value of Bolang as a subject should be the business model created by Mr. Wen."
"It's me, Meng Lang." Mapelly walked down the steps smoothly.
It's not that he didn't think about Wen Liang's direction of answering the words, that was part of the purpose of what he said.
Everyone here can hear that the focus of Wen Liang's topic is about commercial value.
Taking such a turn was Mapperly's little test of Wenliang.
Anyway, Liu Chiping will tell the truth.
…
As they exchanged business compliments one after another, Wen Liang and Mapperly both got to know each other better.
Those are the same views.
Both parties are ordinary people.
It is impossible for anyone to be omniscient and omnipotent.
Wen Liang has thirty years of experience in his previous life, and has the smooth world to climb and wallow in public institutions, but these cannot make up for his lack of insight in the business field.
Mapperly is over forty and has more than ten years of experience in the ups and downs of the business world. As an industry giant, he has a unique side, but this cannot make up for the fact that his knowledge is limited by the background of the times.
Wen Liang gave himself a little gold, which is half a pound to eight ounces.
Mainly, Wen Liang's experience of knowing the future gives him a great advantage, and his vision can transcend the limitations of the times.
…
After Yunshan talked for a long time, Wen Liang took the initiative to cut into a more core topic: "To this day, I deeply feel the limitations of Bolang's development form. I wonder if Chairman Ma can give me, a late learner, some pointers in this regard."
"Don't take it seriously, let's discuss it with each other." Mapperly waved his hand, "All I can give is our company's early development experience."
"...We have also gone through some wrong paths. As President Wen said, win-win cooperation is the theme and value of the 21st century."
"Quoting something I saw on the Internet a few days ago that President Wen said to the students of the Chinese Engineering College, don't be afraid to make a choice. If you make a mistake, you can choose again."
Wen Liang listened attentively and showed a deeply approving expression: "Thank you, Director Ma, for your generous advice."
"Mr. Wen is very polite." Mapperli said after thinking briefly, "I also have a small question that I would like to ask Mr. Wen for advice. What does Mr. Wen think of our company's future?"
'finally come!'
A warm conscience brings great stability.
He kept fussing for a long time, asking for advice on the left sentence and asking for advice on the right sentence, just because Mapperly made the same remarks.
He took the initiative to meet with Liu Chiping not just to promote Bo Lang.
You know, capital is now rushing to invest in Bolang, not Bolang wants to raise funds. Everyone knows this logical sequence.
What he wants is this entry point, and then he will take advantage of the situation to... cheat.
Wen Liang showed a thoughtful expression at first, and did not discuss it like Mapelly did.
After pondering for a moment, he said with a thoughtful look: "From my perspective, I think that what your company needs to consider now is no longer trivial matters like making money, but to understand value."
"The most important theme and value in the 21st century is win-win cooperation, and the most important value in the Internet industry is openness and sharing."
With that said, Wen Liang put forward a point of view: "Openness and sharing are the future of the Internet from PC to mobile. The more exclusive it is, the more it will be in vain."
Mapperly echoed two words calmly on his face: "Mr. Wen's thoughts have given me a lot of inspiration. No wonder Mr. Wang of Weibo bluntly said that he had no communication with Mr. Wen, but he praised Mr. Wen very much in his words."
And Mapelly was already thinking a lot at the moment.
The rumors are not false.
Mapperli really didn’t understand the online criticism of QQ at first, then he didn’t understand some of the practices of his friends, and finally he didn’t understand how the company should go.
The pain has indeed always been with him.
Mapperli caught something with his gentle point of view.
And this is also the biggest purpose of Wen Liang's trip. He wants to leave an introduction in Mapperly's heart, an introduction that is open to sharing.
In order to get some business from White Goose one day in the future.
Because he clearly remembered that at a later point in his previous life, Mapelly spoke at a meeting and said: White Goose cut off some businesses in order to open up and share, and also fired half of its executives -
White goose: This word will be used instead of goose factory in the following text. It is said that it can avoid reporting in a certain sense.
PS: It’s really hard to write about the city. In addition to the constant reports, there are also some of the most violent comments in all categories. Let me make it clear that although the city is the most familiar background to everyone, I did not kill people or set fire. If you don’t like me, please don’t hurt me. Thank you.
