On the morning of August 1, Eastern Time, the impact of countless news on overseas networks has reached a peak.
‘Bolang’ has become an unavoidable focus of discussion.
The melon-eating masses don’t care what Bolang’s core goal is.
Therefore, the core points of discussion of global cyberspace are just the same, ‘savior’, ‘rich’, ‘pattern’, and ‘epoch-making’.
But obviously, the thoughtful people at the top will not be so "heartless".
They have many channels to obtain information, a large amount of information they obtain, many things to consider, many analysis systems they can refer to, and the conclusions they draw are also more diverse.
America Business Unit.
Important personnel from the business unit, financial unit and Guanhai's staff team gathered in a semi-enclosed conference room. People were sitting on both sides of the long conference table. A middle-aged woman was pushing a trailer to hand out thick documents.
A somewhat bald middle-aged man at the far end of the conference room spoke at the right time.
"I hope you will read these materials carefully."
"We need to carefully judge the current complicated situation. The prism caught us off guard. Many people took advantage of this opportunity. Among them... Bolang seems to be the focus, and it is backed by China!"
He lowered his head and looked at the people in the conference room through his glasses, his emotions hidden by the deep forehead lines.
He didn't speak to anyone in the congregation.
The sound of paper being turned could be heard from time to time.
The information distributed to everyone has been divided into categories, and many people spread the information out to form three major parts.
The first part is titled Prism's Current Impact.
The title of the second part has only one English word: BoLang.
The title of the third part still only has one English word: WenLiang.
To the surprise of everyone present, the thickness of the data in the second and third parts is very considerable.
Someone opened the second part of the information first, which is the Chronicle of Bolang.
"In March 2011, the predecessor of Bolang, Huamei Liming, was registered in Huayangcheng. The founding members were Wen Liang, Chen Jiaxin, and Li Ze..."
"In September 2011, Huamei Liming launched a social networking platform..."
"In mid-October 2011, Huamei Liming was suspected of encountering a dissolution crisis..."
"In late October 2011, Huameiliming changed its name to Bolang. On the 20th, Bolang launched the social media platform Xiaochengshu and acquired the first batch of users through paid campus sharing..."
"..."
“In January 2012, Sina Weibo launched a competition with Bolang Xiaocheng Book, and Bolang immediately donated some shares to attract backers..."
"..."
"In November 2012, Bolang became the largest shareholder of 'New Weibo'. After Weibo was listed on Nasdaq, its shares were gradually diluted to 5%, ranking at the bottom of the top ten shareholders."
"In January 2012, Zhang Yulin and Qin Zheng, members of Bolang's founding team, entered a laboratory at South China University of Technology respectively, but nothing happened immediately... In June 2012, Huagong suddenly established an IC design laboratory in a low-key manner..."
"..."
"In June 2012, Li Ze, a member of Bolang's founding team, traveled frequently on business, and..."
“On December 15, 2012, Bolang Terminal released a smartphone ‘Xinghai 1’, officially entering the mobile phone market. Then Bolang showed surprising accumulation and reserves of related technologies...”
"year 2013……"
"..."
The chronicle is very detailed, recording all the development history of Bolang that can be investigated in detail only by collecting the data.
Reference materials are appended to each record.
The closer the timeline is to the present, the more detailed the reference materials and the richer the content.
There is no specific conclusion given at the end of the information.
This is just a summary description.
"The official development of Bolang began on October 20, 2011, with a registered capital of RMB 1 million and zero employees. After 1 year and 9 months, as of July 30, 2013, Bolang Group has a total number of employees of 320,000 and a registered capital of
"Its business covers Internet social media, Internet multimedia, Internet finance, games, consumer electronic terminals, communications, storage, semiconductor research and design and manufacturing, operating systems, electronic manufacturing..."
Everyone present who read this information was shocked and even more awe-inspiring.
They all know how unprecedented this company is, but this kind of power is too great.
This chronicle records every public crisis that Bolang has experienced. The gains and losses in it are very clear, showing that Bolang has almost never made wrong decisions.
Almost every crisis has been perfectly exploited and has become a boost for Bolang's development.
Not only that, everyone also saw Bolang's transformation in turning enemies into friends, and even turning enemies into vassals. The time span was short and very shocking.
Everyone also saw Bolang's plan.
This chronicle can clearly see that while planning to improve the Internet application ecosystem, the carrying method has been taken into consideration.
Bolang's plan to engage in mobile phone business has exceeded many people's guesses.
The time for action was also earlier than the public understood.
The establishment of Bolang Terminal is only the preliminary preparation work in place, rather than just the beginning. It has been spending money to incubate for a long time.
Even from figuring out the supply chain to officially releasing a mobile phone, it took nearly half a year to prepare.
Many people here have some ideas in their minds.
"The Stars system... has been independently developed from the beginning! Bolang is very good at releasing smoke bombs!"
"Apple's iPhone 5 was targeted because it had a plan in advance and it was not an unjust defeat. The opponent was too willing and too daring!"
"Bolang has a very good timing in launching its business. At least it has a very good understanding of the changes in the Chinese market and has a finger on the pulse... Prism!"
Someone suddenly thought of prism!
"Is Prism related to Bolang? Does an ordinary commercial company have that ability... No, no, no, this thing is an accident..."
Many people here opened the third part of the information with a lot of worries.
There are only a few lines of simple English written on the first page.
"A true business and political genius."
"Extremely good at taking advantage of every advantage, extremely good at taking advantage of situations, extremely good at capturing situations, extremely good at strategies...a fair and just strategy."
The person Wen Liang is officially introduced on the second page.
"Born on September 19, 1992, the date is in the Chinese lunar calendar, from Jiangxia, Hubei..."
"My grandfather, both parents are officials, his family is well off and he has a wide network of connections."
"I was admitted to South China University of Technology in 2010 and am now a junior..."
"..."
"Extremely good at summarizing failures, and has a very long-term vision for business strategy. Based on the data summary, the evaluation is unlimited."
"He is good at using every advantage to strengthen himself. He is young and frivolous, and he is determined to move forward. His character is tough and sharp, flexible and crazy."
This information combined with Bolang's information has solved the doubts of many people here.
Why Bolang can develop so fast is inseparable from the soul figure Wen Liang, because Wen Liang is good at taking advantage of the situation at the right time, allowing Bolang to quickly cross various levels.
There is no doubt that from the summary of information, Wen Liang is crazy.
Crazy about taking advantage of opportunities, never considering the consequences of failure.
The conclusion given by the data is that because of his good family background, Wen Liang has no worries in the Chinese environment...
Everyone has also seen that Bolang's real expansion and growth comes from the development of terminal business, specifically Xinghai mobile phones, and for this, the early sunk costs paid by Bolang are unimaginably high.
Once it fails...
Someone thought of this and suddenly sighed in his heart: "I am not as good as him. It is right to consider failure first, but it is wrong to only consider failure..."
In fact, putting aside the terminal business, Bolang's development and growth can be considered within the normal range.
Because the development of China's Internet business lags behind overseas markets, and because the total number of Chinese Internet users is skyrocketing, coupled with the fact that overseas operations can be directly copied, and the Internet boom can easily blow up, the repeated surges in valuations are not entirely justified.
special case.
Without terminal business, Bolang's latest valuation should be only 100 billion.
Taking into account terminal business... Bolang's rapid growth in scale is extremely exaggerated.
But it’s actually okay.
If Lei Jun had one-tenth of Wen Liang's "crazy criticism" in decision-making, MI might not be as good as Bolang Terminal.
Counting from the launch of mobile phones, it has only been nearly two years since the Mi series was launched, and the market valuation of MI is already close to 200 billion.
You must know that MI's mobile phones are not sold overseas, and it has always been a hunger marketing model. It dare not open up sales like Apple. Consumers' purchasing impulse is easily suppressed, and the total sales volume is only thousands of units.
As of now, except for Redmi phones, the weekly supply of Mi series is less than 300,000 units during the prime sales period. How can we compare it with other manufacturers?
Yes, if a small manufacturer wants to produce enough at the beginning, they need to pay a huge amount of money in advance, which can easily be hundreds of millions or billions. But with the initial popularity of the Mi series, it is no problem at all.
It can only be said that when faced with trade-offs, different people have different ways of making decisions.
What Lei Jun saw was the drawbacks of the cost-effective model. By extending the production cycle, the cost of electronic components can be reduced rapidly. Extreme inventory turnover can make capital flow faster and avoid financial risks. However, golden development opportunities have also been lost.
In short...Bolang's current situation, judging from the aggregated data, is within a reasonable range. It's just that Wen Liang, the helmsman, makes crazy choices at every stage.
Even though Bolang has developed to such a large scale, Wen Liang's decision-making still has not converged, but has become more and more crazy.
However, he just has more and more crazy capital.
…………
There were gradually other sounds in the conference room.
The bald man on the back raised his head at the right time and said: "Everyone, please share your thoughts. The direction of Bolang's growth is inconsistent with our position. It is increasingly promoting economic development, and has gradually exceeded the scope of business, affecting
More aspects.”
Someone answered: "We need to exert influence on Bolang in more ways to curb the possible rise of China's industrial industry and promote the overall rise of finance, economy, and consumption."
"This strategy needs to be effective enough in the long run. We don't care about low-end industries, but Bolang's business scope is high-end industries, which is likely to lead to breakthroughs in cutting-edge technology, thereby unbalancing military power."
"Besides, Bolang's relationship with relevant parties is so close, and the support is very strong. This year, the funds personally donated by Bolang and Wenliang to national defense units are close to 2% of the national defense budget! This is an astonishing number!!"
"..."
The conference room was quiet for a moment.
Although they are a business unit, the things they are talking about now involve more than just business.
When what happened today was mentioned and quantified, everyone realized how crazy Bolang was!
According to public data, my country's defense budget in 2013 was 720.2 billion yuan, and the cumulative funds donated by Bolang and Wenliang to national defense have exceeded 10 billion.
Based on 720.2 billion, the proportion is close to 2%!
Really scary!
The main thing is that this is an active and free act, not a profit or tax.
The bald middle-aged man broke the silence: "Talk about kindness."
The sound in the conference room was not restored immediately.
After a while, someone said decisively: "It must be controlled!"
"..."
The meeting lasted for a long time, and in the end not many conclusions were reached. However, a plan was quickly formed and made public.
Then the keyword "Wen Liang/WenLiang" became a hot search on global social media platforms.
America's commercial unit, financial unit, Pentagon and other units successively announced in a statement the implementation of restrictions on "Wen Liang".
From now on, Wen Liang cannot go to America, etc. etc.
Than the entity facing the entity
Lists are also broadly constrained.
However, this time was early in the morning in China, and most of the people were asleep, so there was no disturbance.
…………
This is not over yet.
Because of Bolang's past and recent actions, Goldman Sachs, the executioner in front of and behind the scenes, has also appeared.
Although there are not as many senior executives in America who have graduated from Goldman Sachs as before, Goldman Sachs's influence is still there, and it is still unscrupulously using its advantages to harvest the world.
What Goldman Sachs likes most in developing countries is to reform state-owned enterprises into private enterprises.
In fact, Bolang has seriously affected Goldman Sachs' interests in China...yes, it is declining.
Wilt was originally a well-known example of Goldman Sachs.
They helped Laoliu turn Shaanxi into a private enterprise and obtained a lot of benefits from it, including but not limited to bypassing regulations and entering restricted industries.
but……
Everything disappears in the face of absolute power.
After Wen Liang stayed in the capital for a period of time, the situation changed. Oceanwide almost spit out the shares held by his family, and the old Liu family executives were uprooted almost overnight. People like Yuan Qing can't support themselves alone.
.
The sample disappeared instantly.
And this approach makes Goldman Sachs very uncomfortable, because it means that their efforts are meaningless.
However, Goldman Sachs' decision-makers are willing to endure in the short term, so there has been no movement.
But now... Goldman Sachs is starting to stir things up.
…
Early the next morning, Wen Liang received another call from Lao Miaotou.
"You've been targeted again."
Wen Liang: "?"
He knew that America's discipline was not worth a phone call from the old man.
The old man sighed and said a name: "Goldman Sachs."
Then he explained: "Their energy, or attraction to some people, exceeds my imagination, and it may also exceed your imagination. Some people think that you have too many resources."
Wen Liang was delighted: "It's none of my business."
Then he said: "Mr. Miao, don't worry about these chickens and dogs. If they are brave enough to come to me, I will like to be slapped in the face."
The old man was a little strange: "Aren't you angry?"
"Would you be angry with a dog?" Wen Liang asked back, "Whether it's the boss or someone else, the most they can do is disgust me. To put it bluntly, I can benefit others, but they themselves are not enough."
The old man smiled and said, "Here are some snacks."
