This meeting was divided into two steps. Some technical staff continued research and development and discussed subsequent improvements.
Another group of people began to contact OEM factories and quickly entered the OEM production process.
Time is a race against time for them. Every time they delay, Zhang Xu feels it is a crime. At this moment, his whole body is tense. The mountain of pressure makes him more energetic. He can't even think about playing.
Tang Lin's ponytail was up, and all her concentration was devoted to the next work.

On the other hand, after Alibaba's B2B business was delisted from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Jack Ma and others began to prepare for the listing of the entire Alibaba Group. This process took a full year and a half, and was finally completed by Jack Ma and Cai on the 23rd of this month.
The two Chongxin went to the New York Stock Exchange in the United States to submit application materials for the overall listing of Alibaba Group.
At the same time, investment banks and capital parties such as Citibank, Deutsche Bank, and Tiger Management, which Jack Ma had previously negotiated, have also begun to help Alibaba Group operate various relationships and strive to make it successfully listed this time.
Because only after Alibaba Group successfully goes public can they profit from a huge commission of US$1 billion.
At this time, as Alibaba Group went to the United States to submit listing materials, domestic public opinion media also started crazy publicity.
Not only Jack Ma, Tsai Chongxin and others are busy abroad, but Xia Zekai and other shareholders of Alibaba Group are also starting to work hard.
These people know very well that only if Alibaba Group is successfully listed as a whole, can they enjoy this feast of wealth unscrupulously.
Everything is for profit.
Even Yitrip and Toutiao are using their platforms to promote Alibaba Group for free.
Zhang Yiming, Liang Rubo and Xia Zekai held a three-way conference call for this purpose. The first item they discussed was the domestic promotion of Alibaba Group's listing on the New York Stock Exchange.
In this special period, it can be said that everything else must make way for it.
Not to mention that Xia Zekai always wanted to cash out and leave after Alibaba went public, even Zhang Yiming and Liang Ruru also wanted to cash out and leave.
Not to mention them, the major shareholder SoftBank of Japan and the second shareholder Yahoo of the United States also want to cash out and make profits.
This does not even exclude Alibaba’s Eighteen Arhats, including Jack Ma.
There are many other places where money is needed. For these people, no matter how many years they have been in business, the most practical thing is to finally cash out and make a profit.
As far as the current situation is concerned, after the assets are listed, reducing holdings and cashing out in the secondary market is indeed the most convenient and fastest way.
Throughout June, as the publicity for Alibaba Group's listing became more and more widespread, it became more and more popular, which even led to a wave of listings among other Internet companies.
Several leading companies in the Internet industry that have not yet been listed have received attention from various investment banks or capital parties at this special time.
During this period, people have been calling Zhang Yiming or Liang Rubo, asking them if they have any ideas to sell their shares. Do Yixing or Toutiao still need funds?
Someone also called Wang Xing of Meituan and asked him if he needed funds.
At this special time, the smaller the Internet company, the less attention it has.
The more leading companies in the industry, the more attention they receive, because many investment banks and capital parties are thinking of listing other leading Internet companies just like the several foreign investment banks that operate Alibaba Group.
Only in this way can they imitate investment banks such as Citibank, Deutsche Bank, and Tiger Management to get huge commissions.
Obviously, only some of the top leading Internet companies in the industry that can offer commissions of US$1 billion like Alibaba Group have this possibility.
Like other small-scale Internet wages, they are nothing more than mosquitoes.
In normal times, these blood-drinking capitalists would not even let go of the flesh on the mosquito's legs, but today, in order to race against time, they directly ignored the flesh on the mosquito's legs.
Not chewy!

The large training room of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. is usually used for large-scale training activities in the company or for the company's centralized recruitment of new employees. The entire large training room can accommodate about 150 people when full.
As soon as work started this morning, Wang Yewei, the manager of the human resources department, personally led all the employees in the department to set up the scene here.
The surrounding walls are covered with wall paintings of various colors, and many photos are also posted.
A fluffy garland was strung up from the middle roof of the large training room to each of the four corners.
The projection screen in the large training room was also opened, and a carefully crafted slide was projected on the projection screen. The content of the slide was photos of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. in different time periods from the beginning to the present, and there were also some small details in it.
Video clips.
In the photos and videos in these slides, or in the photos posted on the surrounding walls, Sun Guoqiang, the manager of the finance department, can be seen.
There were times when he had black hair and was full of energy.
There were also times when half of his hair was gray and he was a little depressed.
There are also times when he gives awards to company employees, and times when he takes people outside the company to visit the factory.
Everyone who came to this training room today knew that Sun Guoqiang was leaving today. This was Manager Sun's last working day at Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. They were all here to see Manager Sun off.
As a veteran figure of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. during the five years from the beginning of leasing workshop buildings to building its own factory, he is an indispensable hero at every stage of the company's development process. He has a strong sense of responsibility in this company.
One stroke.
Everyone who entered the training room had a very serious expression on their face, no one was joking, and many people were reluctant to give up.
Unlike the night of June 17, when managers at manager level and above from various departments in the company organized a farewell banquet for Sun Guoqiang, today all department heads, managers at manager level and above, and all staff from the finance department in Qicheng
They're all here.
In addition, some ordinary employees who had a good chat with Sun Guoqiang also came over.
However, today's protagonist Sun Guoqiang and the company's key figure Xia Zekai have not come yet.
At this time, the two people were still chatting in Xia Zekai's office at the east end of the third floor of the office building.
There were only two of them in the office. Sun Guoqiang told Xia Zekai all over again the current financial situation of the company, the usage of project expenses under construction, and the waste in the company.
Finally, he handed Xia Zekai a notebook and said: "Boss, thank you for giving me such an opportunity in the past five years. I will no longer be able to work for Jingtong Development Co., Ltd...."
As soon as he said this, Xia Zekai interrupted him and said, "Old Sun, if you want to use your remaining energy, how about I give you a chance?"
As soon as Xia Zekai finished speaking, Sun Guoqiang waved his hand quickly: "Boss, please let me go. I'm a bad old man. At my age, I really can't do anything anymore."
"Okay, I won't force you anymore, Lao Sun. You have made great contributions to the company in the past few years. I will remember it in my heart. The company has been busy and working overtime in these years, and you are indeed very tired.
After today, you go home and have a good rest for a few days, and also tell your old sister-in-law at home that I, Xia Zekai, can't help her and keep you away from home all the time. This black hair has turned gray from exhaustion."
"In addition, if you want to continue to use your spare time in the future, you can call me and I will definitely arrange the most suitable position for you in the company." Xia Zekai said.
Hearing what he said, Sun Guoqiang was so moved that he almost cried.
He said: "Boss, when Manager Xie and I were handing over work during this period, we often chatted. His business ability is much stronger than mine. In the financial department, you can rest assured."
"Okay, even if I don't believe in others, I still believe in you, grandson." Xia Zekai smiled, he knew who was good and who was not.
The two of them wanted to talk about something more, but the landline phone on Xia Zekai's desk rang. After he picked it up, he listened to a few words from the other party, and then said: "I understand."
After saying that, I hung up the phone.
He said to Sun Guoqiang: "Manager Sun, the training room is ready. Let's go over there."
Sun Guoqiang said with some embarrassment: "Boss, I am already leaving. Why do you have to do this ceremony again? Isn't this a sincere waste of money? If you keep this money for other projects, you can do a lot better."
It’s nothing.”
"Haha, that's different." Xia Zekai patted Sun Guoqiang on the shoulder, and the two of them walked towards the big training room together.
A few minutes later, when Xia Zekai and Sun Guoqiang came in, the big training room immediately became quiet.
Sun Guoqiang and Xia Zekai sat together on the front row of chairs. The table was filled with various fruits, snacks, drinks and bottled mineral water.
Wang Yewei was standing next to the podium in front. After seeing Xia Zekai and Sun Guoqiang sitting down, Wang Yewei coughed twice into the wireless microphone and said: "There are always partings in life, but any parting is temporary. Today we are colleagues.
We are comrades fighting in the same trench, and we will still be best friends tomorrow."
"Manager Sun Guoqiang, the first finance department of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd., is 60 years old this year. At this age, it should be the time to have fun with him. Manager Sun felt that he was exhausted and unwell, so he wanted to change
A kind of living situation. Based on the premise of humanistic care, the company agreed to the application submitted by Manager Sun."
"From my heart, I am very reluctant to leave Manager Sun, but for the sake of Manager Sun's health, I respect Manager Sun's choice. Today, at the strong request of Mr. Xia Zekai, the leader of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd.
, we organized this farewell party to wish Manager Sun a happy family in the days to come." Wang Yewei's voice echoed in the large training room.
