Just when Liu Chi was paddling and waiting to get off work.
A piece of news has become a hot search topic.
The rice cooker will be launched on June 1st.
In less than a while, all kinds of news, whether it's to gain popularity or join in the fun, are everywhere.
Liu Chi naturally saw the relevant news, curled his lips, and even advertised?
never mind...
I'm still too lazy to care.
"Liu Chi, go home for dinner tonight, my dad is looking for you." After get off work, Ye Yuxin came to call for someone on time.
"Okay." Liu Chi sat up on the sofa.
"Where's Zhou Meng?"
"Fourth floor, weren't we playing a game with you just now? You even called my dad up, you guys figured it out." Liu Chi said helplessly.
"Uh..." Ye Yuxin was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Liu Chi to know that she was playing games. She blushed a little and said sheepishly: "If we play a game once in a while, I'll call her down."
"Then I'll go down first."
"..."
Fourth floor!
"Sister-in-law, you are here."
"Let's go home and have dinner."
"Oh oh oh, wait a minute, I'll pack up my things." After Zhou Meng finished speaking, he tidied up the table.
"How did Liu Chi know about us playing games?" Ye Yuxin asked, thinking of what Liu Chi said about games just now.
"Ah..." Zhou Meng didn't hear clearly for a moment and looked at Ye Yuxin doubtfully.
"I mean, how did Liu Chi know about us playing games?" Ye Yuxin repeated.
"Brother Chi came to me when we were playing games just now, so he knew." Zhou Meng stuck out his tongue in embarrassment: "Brother Chi talked about you?"
"That's not true. Let's go home and have dinner. Come to my house for dinner today."
"Yeah." Zhou Meng nodded.
Five minutes later, the three people left the industrial park.
"I told my parents not to eat at home tonight."
"Just ask them to come together. The two of them won't have to eat." Ye Yuxin said too much and directly picked up the phone and called Li Lian.
Because Liu Yong had to wait for the people in the company to finish eating before leaving, the three of them left first.
One hour later.
The three finally arrived at Ye Yuxin's house.
Ye Yuxin threw her bag on the sofa and turned around. As if she didn't see anyone, she shouted: "Mom, I'm back."
"You should be back. Why haven't you seen anyone? The cars are all outside?"
"Are you back?" At this time, Chen Xinxin's voice came down from the stairs on the second floor.
"Mom, I thought you weren't at home."
"I'm about to go out to buy groceries. Liu Chi, please tell your parents and we'll have dinner together later."
"I told you earlier!" Ye Yuxin sat down on the sofa.
"Zhou Meng, you and Liu Chiyuxin are playing at home. Auntie is going to buy groceries first and will cook your favorite braised fish later."
"Uh-huh, thank you, auntie." Zhou Meng nodded so hard that he almost cried out!
"..."
After dinner, Liu Chi and Ye Jing sat down around the coffee table. Everyone knew that the two of them were busy, so they ran to other places to play.
"Uncle Ye, what are you talking about?" Liu Chi took the tea poured by Ye Jing and asked!
"I have two things to discuss with you and want to ask your opinion!"
"..." Liu Chi nodded and waited for the next step!
"I want to promote Jingxin offline shopping malls nationwide." Ye Jing took a sip of tea and said.
"Do you want to expand sales channels?" Liu Chi asked a little suspiciously.
"Yes, now Jingxin's physical stores are only available in Yanjing City." Ye Dingding nodded: "I want to borrow your company's products and slowly spread them across the country, and build at least 100 offline physical malls across the country in five years.
"
"Now the company has reached a bottleneck. If we want to continue to expand, we can only develop new profit points. Now is the time when channels are king."
"..." Liu Chi began to think.
When Ye Jing saw that Liu Chi was silent, he continued: "With the reputation of your company's products, I think we can gather a group of customers soon, and our main product is your No. 9 Technology product."
"This morning, I will not participate in the No. 9 Glass you mentioned. The capital required is too large for Jing Xin to afford." Ye Jing said helplessly.
"If it's only a few cents, it's meaningless, so I might as well use the funds directly to expand Jingxin's sales channels."
"Does Jing Xin have so much money?" Liu Chi raised his own question.
"I'm not a fool. I promoted it nationwide all at once, but slowly expanded it from one family to the next." Ye Jing explained: "After all, it's not about opening a small store, it requires a lot of talents."
Liu Chi said: "The problem is not a problem, but it is not that simple to do it. Now the industrial economy has been greatly impacted by the Internet economy."
"Another point is that Suning is basically the leader in physical electrical appliance stores. Many electrical appliance companies have set up after-sales points and maintenance personnel in various cities, and they sell directly online."
"I don't think this is a problem. As long as the product is good, we can also sell it directly online, but it is not conducive to expanding our influence. To put it bluntly, we can only work on our own three-acre field."
"However, if Jingxin has more than 100 physical supermarkets offline, I think the market value can at least double several times." Ye Jing said seriously.
Liu Chi nodded, acknowledged Ye Jing's words, and said: "Channel is king now. It would be best if we can do it. You need to have a large number of products to support the store."
"Can your Jingxin online mall now support such a huge plan?"
"What is your main product, or what industry is it classified into?"
"I haven't decided yet. If it's electrical appliances, it's very competitive. It's hard for you to praise Suning alone."
"Yes, this is definitely a problem, so the main product should be your company's product, but the main direction has not been determined yet." Ye Jing nodded in approval.
"Should you set up a branch or set up a company to operate independently."
"It's better to set up a branch. If I set up a company alone, I can't afford the funds required."
"And I have another purpose." Ye Jing explained.
"?" Liu Chi looked at Ye Jing with a puzzled look!
"I want Dongfang Investment to make no money in a few years, and it is even possible to invest money in it. As for a few years later, who knows what will happen." Ye Jing's face turned cold when he thought of Zhang Handong.
.
"You want to force Dongfang Investment out." Liu Chi was taken aback and asked in surprise after recovering.
"I have this idea, but Zhang Handong is not a fool. It's hard to say whether it will work or not." Ye Jing was not completely sure.
Liu Chi thought for a while and said: "Go and talk to those small shareholders and find a way to buy out their shares. As for the shareholders who originally stood with Zhang Donghan, ignore them."
"Okay, I'll talk to them when I have time." Ye Jing instantly understood what Liu Chi meant. This was the rhythm of No. 9 Technology's entry.
"After you buy it, let them keep investing money in it. If you don't believe it, they won't withdraw automatically." Liu Chi said directly: "You make a plan and I will inject money when the time comes."
"Okay." Ye Jing nodded: "Then I will buy their shares first and then start the store business."
"Let me know how much money you want when the time comes. The money and connections will be no problem." Liu Chi said directly.
"Okay, let's settle this matter for now." Ye Dingding nodded.
"..."
"The second thing is that I want to set up my own scientific research team and want to hear your opinions."
"Dad, doesn't our company have a laboratory?" At this time, Ye Yuxin sat down next to Liu Chi, picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea, then looked at her father Ye Jing in confusion.
"Why are you here and not playing with Zhou Meng?"
"Uncle Liu and the others have gone home, and this girl Zhou Meng is playing games."
"What is the focus or purpose of your scientific research team? If it is to optimize existing products and expand into a larger market, that is fine."
"However, if we are developing new products, I don't recommend you to participate." Liu Chi could somewhat understand Ye Jing's thoughts.
But understanding and agreeing are two different things.
"Why." Ye Jing frowned, indirectly indicating that he had second thoughts.
"Jingxin Group cannot afford the huge consumption caused by scientific research." Liu Chi said seriously.
"?" There were several big question marks written on Ye Jing's face.
"Let me talk about the funding issue first. Take my company as an example. The funds used for laboratory hardware alone have reached about 30 billion. Other scientific research costs, material costs, loss costs, and labor costs have not been counted.
Go in."
"Is it so exaggerated?" Ye Jing looked at the two of them in surprise.
"It's not that we don't support you, new product development is really not something Jingxin can afford."
"Dad, it's really not possible." Ye Yuxin sent an assist to Liu Chi.
"Jingxin's monthly net profit is only a few hundred million. If you play casually, it will be gone. If a new product comes out by then, that's fine. If not, Jingxin may be ruined by then."
"Let me give you an example." Ye Yuxin said: "Take Zhou Meng's dream glass."
"In about one month, the total cost of the experiment was more than 830 million."
"So exaggerated?" Ye Jing's eyes widened.
"If there is no results, then the money will be wasted. Can Jing Xin withstand such a huge loss?" After Ye Yuxin finished speaking, she looked at her father with a look on her face: You'd better stop playing.
"I can make it smaller at first." Ye Jing thought for a while and said.
"Scientific research is not as small as you say. If you are halfway through, if the loss of funds is too large, will you continue? If you continue, it will be a huge amount of funds. If you don't continue, the previous money will be wasted.
."
"It is unknown when the results will be produced."
"Uncle Ye, if you really want to do it, I don't recommend setting up a laboratory within your company." Liu Chi thought about it and said, "Because the funds used to build a laboratory are too large, and one piece of equipment can easily cost tens of millions.
"
"And the returns are very uncertain."
"?" Ye Jing looked at Liu Chi, waiting for the next sentence.
"You can cooperate with universities. They have people and equipment. All you have to do is contribute the money. If you invest tens of millions at a time, even if it's gone, it won't hurt the company." Liu Chi said.
"Yes, Dad, I think Liu Chi's idea is good." Ye Yuxin said supportively.
"Well, this is a good plan. I'll study it carefully later." Ye Jing's eyes lit up, as if this was a good direction.
"..." Liu Chi took the two beauties home at 10 o'clock in the evening.
.....
May 31st at 8pm.
Haohai Investment;
Zhu Hongguo Office.
"Mr. Zhu, Mr. Liu and the others have arrived and are already waiting in the conference room, and the video conferencing network has been set up." Zhu Guohong's assistant Mei Ying gently knocked on the door and walked in and said softly.
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Zhu Hongguo stood up, straightened his clothes, picked up a dozen materials from the desktop, and walked out of the office.
A minute later, Zhu Hongguo walked into the conference room. People No. 5 were chatting around the table. The leader was Liu Xia, the big boss of Haohai Investment. The other three people could only participate in the meeting through video because they were not in Yanjing.
"Close the door." Zhu Hongguo said to Mei Ying who was following him.
"..." Mei Ying was standing by the door, so she closed the door gently.
"Mr. Liu, gentlemen, I'm very sorry to ask you to take time out of your busy schedule to come over." Zhu Hongguo stood in position C and said.
"Seeing that Mr. Zhu looks good today, it should be a good thing." Liu Xia said cheerfully, "Then I can let go of my worries."
"It is indeed a good thing, but it may not be a good thing for everyone." Zhu Hongguo said: "Because you may have to pay, and it is not a decimal amount."
"It looks like a big project!"
"Yes." Zhu Hongguo explained: "Last night at the business seminar held in Yanjing, I had the honor to meet Mr. Liu Chi, the boss of No. 9 Technology."
"?" Everyone was quietly waiting for Zhu Hongguo to speak.
"His company established a new branch to raise funds. Just because we had a cooperative relationship with him before and our company has a good relationship with him, we got priority in this financing."
"It seems like a big investment for you to call us all together." Liu Xia said with a look of surprise.
"I have some information here. You will understand after reading it. After you finish reading it, we will slowly discuss whether to invest or not, or how much to invest."
Zhu Hongguo said to Mei Ying: "Send the information on Dream Glass to Mr. Liu and others, and send it to Mr. An and others in document format."
"Okay." Mei Ying nodded, first shared the file with the three people in the video conference, and then picked up the printed information and sent it out.
...
10 minutes later.
"Have you finished reading the materials?" Zhu Hongguo asked when he saw that the five people present had put down the materials in their hands.
"Finished reading."
"..."
"Okay, since everyone has seen enough, let me continue the topic just now." Zhu Hongguo said.
"What does Mr. Liu Chi mean?" Liu Xia thought for a long time before asking.
"So far, apart from me, there are three other companies that I know have this financing project: Ye Jing from Jingxin Group, Tang Yanan from Datang Group, and Liu Guohong from Tianhua Group."
"Mr. Liu Chi means to use 30% of the shares for financing. How much we hold depends on how much capital we can provide. The valuation of No. 9 Glass is one trillion yuan."
