Back in the capital of Shu, Bai Shuo began to make plans to invest in Nanshui Town. Although Cao An felt that Nanshui Town was indeed a good place, there were not many places like this across the country. At present, Nanshui Town was even said to be in Huai'an County and surrounding areas.
In an area with a large area, basic facilities are poor, and the political and business environment is not very good. With this money, it is really more valuable to invest in other places. Li Fei once mentioned this in Bai Shuo, but he also went to conduct an on-site inspection.
However, it was also because the environment was not very good that he stopped the work hastily. He was not very optimistic about this investment and did not understand why Bai Shuo was so fond of this place.
Hearing that almost everyone had different opinions on his plan, Bai Shuo smiled. Seeing Anna who was not talking much at the side, he suddenly asked her what she thought.
Anna was a little surprised when Bai Shuo asked her opinion, but she still responded to Bai Shuo: "From the surface, they are all right."
Bai Shuo saw that Anna cherished her words like gold and had no intention of continuing, so he asked again: "Huh? What's more, how about taking a deeper look?"
Anna: "You should have some other thoughts in your heart. I won't know or judge if you don't tell me."
Bai Shuo, Cao An, and Li Fei all looked at each other in surprise. Cao An and the others thought that Bai Shuo really had other ideas that he had not confessed truthfully, but Bai Shuo was thinking about how Anna knew that he had other ideas.
.
"Oh! Brother Shuo, you won't go to other people's homes just because Man Lin doesn't want to leave your hometown, right?" Cao An suddenly realized.
"Go away, you damn fat man, why are your thoughts so dirty..." After Bai Shuo scolded Cao Ancai, he explained to everyone: "I do have other ideas for investment in the Nanshui area, but they are not counted yet.
Mature, I will discuss this with you later."
Then he asked everyone to make preliminary preparations first. As for whether to launch the project in the end, they still have to wait for the right opportunity. Everyone asked Bai Shuo what opportunity he was waiting for, but Bai Shuo smiled and said nothing. He just said that this opportunity would probably require Xiao Zhen.
Just help.
Bai Shuo did not have too much entanglement in the matter of Nanshui Town, because the most important and urgent thing today is not here. Many of the projects that Zhong Pengcheng, Mark and others inspected and planned before are now ripe for harvest.
Season. In Bai Shuo's words to Liang Ying, it's time to make a big splash...
At the end of the year, the land of China suddenly became less peaceful. Under the shadow of the financial crisis, various companies had to shrink their business and withdraw funds. Many major investment projects were shelved one after another. But there are also some people.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to aggressively expand its power and continuously implement industrial layout.
In the last month of the year, news of the long-established domestic mobile phone manufacturers such as "Xiaxin", "Bond" and some small communication equipment accessories have been acquired and merged by an organization called "Blue Ocean Capital", causing shock in the industry.
The reason for shock is that most of these acquired and merged companies are old mobile phone brands that have long been famous in the industry. However, in the competition in recent years, they have experienced problems in grasping the direction of development, which has led to rapid decline. In recent years,
It’s not that no one wants to save these mobile phone brands, but everyone knows that this is a critical period for the transformation of mobile phone manufacturing companies. Mobile phone manufacturers are springing up like mushrooms after a rain. A large number of copycat mobile phones are also shining brightly, although the quality varies.
However, they are full of them, occupying a large market share, and some even sell better than genuine mobile phone manufacturers. In fact, in this era of change, whether it is genuine manufacturers or copycat factories, everyone is trying to get by by feeling the stones.
River, if you make the right choice, you will become the new king; if you make the wrong choice, you will quit sadly. So who has time to save an old mobile phone manufacturer that is riddled with holes.
But what shocked everyone even more was that after Blue Ocean Capital took over these companies, it was just like picking and washing side dishes, lavishly picking off those rough branches and leaves, even some things that the industry thought were of some value.
Abandoned like worn out shoes, a brand new mobile phone manufacturing company "Kirin Mobile" soon appeared in front of the public.
This mobile phone company has invested a lot of money in research and development since its establishment. It seems that it is in no rush to put its products into the market. Moreover, it is said that the direction of research and development is completely inconsistent with the current mainstream trends. For example, everyone is now focusing on thin, light and compact mobile phones.
However, Kirin advocates "bigness". Everyone is studying folding, sliding and other technologies for mobile phones, but Kirin directly wants to make tablet-type mobile phones. Of course, there are many things that are not known to outsiders because of confidentiality, but among everyone
In their eyes, "Kirin Mobile" has become a strange company, and soon no mobile phone company will regard it as a real competitor.
At the same time as the establishment of Kirin Mobile Phone Company, there was also news in the market that "Qiangdong" Company and Blue Ocean Capital signed a capital injection agreement. According to the content of the agreement, Qiangdong Company will receive capital injection from Blue Ocean Capital in January next year at the latest. Announcement of cooperation
At the same time, Qiangdong Company announced that it would develop in-depth in the field of e-commerce after receiving capital injection. People were surprised to find that the development trajectory planned by Qiangdong Company would overlap with that of Ali in many fields. At the press conference,
In Tian Yu's speech on behalf of Blue Ocean Capital, he put forward the theory of latecomers taking advantage and "first wave", the implications of which aroused widespread speculation in the media and the industry. Everything seemed to point to Ahri.
Because there was also an episode that broke out with this news. It is said that the "Ali" company that Blue Ocean Capital's investment team first contacted in the field of e-commerce was even earlier than the acquisition of Amoi and Bird. At that time, Blue Ocean Capital passed
I had contact with Ali at the government level in Hangzhou, but Blue Ocean Capital had just been established at that time and had no reputation in the country. It was said that the people who went to negotiate were also very ordinary. Not only were they dressed casually, but they also looked very young and immature.
, not like professional investors at all. As a result, the person in charge of Ali Company, Ma Baba, regarded the people from Blue Ocean Capital as "liars". Although for the sake of the government, he was accompanied by people to visit and received delicious food and drinks, he just kept silent.
Let’s not talk about cooperation.
After several contacts, the people from Blue Ocean Capital finally couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to propose cooperation and capital injection. Faced with the investment that was automatically sent, Ali's boss Ma Baba finally formally came forward to contact Blue Ocean Capital.
However, during the contact, Mababa actually boasted to the Blue Ocean Capital investment team, saying that Ali would not only do b2b and b2c, but also c2c and o2o; not only would it occupy China’s e-commerce market, but it would also
He wants to go overseas, rush into the universe, open an interstellar shopping platform and do business with aliens. His rhetoric blew the minds of Blue Ocean Capital investors, and even people inside Ari knew that Ma Baba sincerely wanted to
Disrupt the rhythm of this business.
But who would have expected that after this contact, Blue Ocean Capital not only did not give up, but became even more insistent on investing in Ahri, and even the conditions were so good that they almost meant giving money to Ahri.
Ma Baba fainted, and his brilliant talk actually met the magic operation, "Brother, even I don't believe these things I boasted, but you still believe that?" No, there must be something fishy, so Ma Baba became more and more convinced that Blue Ocean Capital was a liar.
In the last negotiation, Blue Ocean Capital once again raised the conditions and directly proposed a one-time capital injection of 1 billion into Ahli. Maba was happy and said to the people at Blue Ocean Capital humorously: "Hey... don't ask me for money.
Not interested in money. The biggest failure in my life is to start a company to make money."
At this time, the people at Blue Ocean Capital suddenly realized that they had no interest in playing with them at all, so they immediately switched to the "Qiangdong" company. People at Ahli said that in the days after they left, the people at Blue Ocean Capital liked to give employees
The brainwashed Mababa used this matter to educate everyone every day, but when it soon came out that Blue Ocean Capital had acquired Amoi and Bird, and later it was announced that it would inject capital into Dongdong, Mababa never mentioned it again.
Although this episode rumor has some elements of joking, it is 70% true. It is said that Bai Shuo suffered a defeat in Bagui, so he immediately officially registered the company "Blue Ocean Capital". And the first stop of Blue Ocean Capital is here
Hangzhou, found the "Ali" company. Although the "Ali" company has suddenly emerged in the domestic e-commerce field, Bai Shuo subconsciously knew that the current achievements of the "Ali" company were compared with its future size.
It's not at the same level at all. If you can get a certain share of shares, even if you don't participate in any business decisions of the company, it will be a very considerable income in the future.
However, Bai Shuo, who was too eager for success, did not learn from the lessons learned in Bagui. The few people were still very casual and did not have the airs of a big boss. Who would have thought that after running around holding the money and not investing it, they were beaten by Lao Ma.
I cleaned it up a lot. Although Ma Baba is not good-looking, he speaks in one way. Bai Shuo has seen a lot of the world in the past two years, but it is still rare for him to say a few words in front of Ma Baba.
Later, although Bai Shuo was not very interested in Ma Baba's big and empty remarks, he was determined to invest in Ahli Company, so he didn't pay too much attention. Even Cao An and others were incredible at Bai Shuo's persistence.
.In the end, Bai Shuo finally realized his enlightenment after the person rejected him outright.
After the "Ali" trip, Bai Shuo felt angry for the first time. He immediately mobilized personnel and seconded a group of elites from Tian Yu, Huaying Investment, Baima Brothers, and even Yu Jialiang, Zhong Pengcheng's right-hand man.
Borrowed them. With professional staff, Bai Shuo spent a lot of money to buy everyone a wardrobe, equipped with the best laptops and various office equipment. This team showed professionalism in terms of image and temperament.
The temperament of a rich man. However, Cao An feels that this style is more like cheating money, because only those who want to make money will show off that they are rich all the time.
However, since the establishment of this team, Blue Ocean Capital's subsequent actions seem to have been much smoother. Many negotiating opponents were a bit weaker at the beginning of the contact, making the negotiation process and initiative always controlled by Bai Shuo.
this side.
Of course, Qiangdong Company is not the end of Blue Ocean Capital. Blue Ocean Capital still continues to buy and buy in the market, demonstrating its tycoon temperament. Shortly after the news that Blue Ocean Capital teamed up with Qiangdong Company came out, Bai Shuo and his entourage
The figure came to Shenbu City again, a city full of business opportunities and wealth. At this time, on a narrow street that was completely incompatible with the prosperity of Shenbu, Bai Shuo and his party were working hard to find today's destination.
.
"Brother Shuo, why don't you think that Brother Ma from Penguin Company didn't even meet with us? We must be said that we are the most popular investment team now." Cao An said angrily.
It turned out that in the morning of that day, they contacted Penguin Company's Xiao Ma with great enthusiasm and expressed their willingness to cooperate. But not only did they not meet, Penguin Company directly responded: We are not short of money, not short of money.
Partner, as a new company, don’t think that you will be successful after just doing a few small projects. Of course, these words were expressed in a very tactful and friendly tone. This is the first time that Bai Shuo has formed this new team.
It failed for the first time. Indeed, even "Qiangdong Mall", which will be famous in later generations, is currently just an inconspicuous small company in the eyes of the world. At most, it has some potential. However, although the old companies that were integrated before were on the verge of bankruptcy made a profit
It was enough to attract attention, but it was not enough to show its impressive strength. Faced with Penguin's indifferent glance, Bai Shuo couldn't help but feel that this blockbuster effect was not enough.
"Both of these two people named Ma are very arrogant. One doesn't like money, and the other is not short of money. They are really invulnerable to both oil and salt." Yu Jialiang, a new member of the team, also followed Cao An's words.
Bai Shuo smiled slightly: "It seems that our strength is not strong enough. If the oil and salt are not in, we will feed him. If the sword and gun are not intrusive, we will sharpen the knife a little bit... Let's find a chance to show off our muscles."
At this time, Bai Shuo couldn't help but look behind him. A total of 10 people, including Cao An, Yu Jialiang, Anna, and Zhao Yong, lined up in two columns. They were equipped to the extreme from clothing to equipment, especially Anna in a decent professional attire.
Against the backdrop, the appearance of an urban white-collar beauty looked a little cold and arrogant, but it was indeed more fascinating. Bai Shuo couldn't help but take a closer look. Of course, the most important thing was the huge amount of money and numerous companies behind them. If so
If even a team in China can make people look down upon, Bai Shuo can guarantee that there will not be another investment team in China that can make people look up to.
"Hey, Mr. Bai, are we here?" Yu Jialiang suddenly pointed to a dilapidated building and said uncertainly. There was a sign hanging in front of the building - "Wujiang Innovation Technology Co., Ltd." This is Bai
