Chapter 791 It’s Not that We Are Incompetent, It’s Just that You Are Too Powerful

After discussing with Liu Hong about the launch of Weibo, Li Dong went to the mall to inspect it himself.

Just happened to meet Shen Qian who had just rushed back on the road. As soon as she saw Li Dong, Shen Qian said, "It just so happens that I have a few things to report to you."

Li Dong didn't ask in detail when he saw people coming and going, and followed Shen Qian into the office.

This time, Shen Qian was on a business trip for nearly a month. She not only inspected several cities suitable for building data centers, but also made a special trip to Guancheng.

At this moment, Li Dong also wanted to know what was going on with Opal.

...

After entering the office, Shen Qian was not in a hurry to report.

After calling the secretary in, Shen Qian asked, "Have the two interns Qi Fangfang and Zhang Mengmeng left?"

The secretary hurriedly said, "I have already left the company."

"Oh, I see, you go down first."

As soon as the secretary left, Shen Qian said with a smile: "The two spies have finally left. Qin Yuhan is very defensive against me now, do you have any ideas?"

Li Dong said awkwardly: "You misunderstood, she didn't mean that."

"Come on, I know I can't draw any conclusions from you."

Shen Qian didn't have the time to say more, and asked again: "Has Qin Yuhan left?"

"Not yet, in two days."

"I knew I would be back in two days..."

Li Dong said speechlessly: "There's no need for this. She doesn't come to the company very often. After coming back for more than a month, she came to the company no more than three times. Is it necessary to be so stiff?"

Shen Qian said unhappily: "Why, co-authoring with you means that I can live in peace with her, and my sister and sister are happy to call you? Shall I give you a big quilt to sleep together at night, so you will be happier?"

"Ahem, that's what you said, I didn't say it."

"OK!"

Shen Qian said angrily, "What do you mean, have you thought about this? You stinking men, you think you are a master if you have a little money, and you want me to serve you with other women. Master, go dreaming!"

Li Dong curled his lips and said: "I didn't say that, you said it yourself, and now it's my fault again, am I wronged?"

Seeing that Shen Qian was going to get mad again, Li Dong didn't want to talk about it, so he changed the subject and said, "How is the inspection going?"

Shen Qian snorted, and didn't want to quarrel with him at this time, so she returned to the topic and said: "This time I visited Nanhu, Fengcheng, and Fucheng, and the conditions in Fengcheng are pretty good.

In fact, it is not impossible for Pingchuan, but the conditions given by Pingchuan are not as favorable as Fengcheng.

In order to introduce us, Fengcheng offered conditions that even tempted me. On the day I went, both the Secretary of Fengcheng and the mayor attended the dinner in person.

The other party is very sincere, whether it is land or tax policy, it has given the bottom line..."

Shen Qian briefly explained the matter, Li Dong thought for a while and said: "Then we can continue to talk, in fact, I don't have high requirements for where the data center will be built.

What I care about is still the technical level. Can we build a first-class data center now?

Don't get to the end, the money is spent, and the operation is not as good as it is now.

I don't know much about these things, and you don't know much about them yourself, so don't listen to what other people say.

As the owner of the mall, you have to think of a way to do this. Liu Hong and the others are fine with general servers, and they can invest more than 500 million in data centers, so you can't listen to their one-sided words. "

At present, the concept of "big data" has not been proposed in China, and Li Dong himself does not understand this.

Even if they poach people, they don't know who to poach.

Anyway, Li Dong is almost at a loss for these technical things.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as someone under your hands understands.

The key is people like Liu Hong. Li Dong thinks they are unreliable. Do these guys understand this?

Just knowing about construction and network acceleration is not the fundamental purpose. If it is for this, it will cost more than 500 million yuan, which Li Dong feels is not worth it.

Shen Qian pondered for a while and said: "You are right, I really haven't thought about it deeply.

To say that those who have an in-depth understanding of IDC in China, in addition to several major network operators, are some Internet companies and banks.

Banks have put more effort into this than Internet companies. When the domestic IDC industry just started, these banks were the first to enter.

Well, I'll investigate later and see if I can poach some people over here.

In fact, foreign technology is better than ours, and companies like Google and IBM are doing very well. Many of my classmates work in these companies. Let’s try to find some elites to help. "

Hearing what Shen Qian said, Li Dong remembered that this woman was also a graduate of a top business school.

Thinking of this, Li Dong couldn't help joking: "I said, you are also a high-achieving student who graduated from Kellogg School of Business. Why haven't you realized the potential of a business elite in the past few years?"

When Shen Qian heard it, she said angrily: "Yes, I have no potential! No potential, no potential, do you expect your mall to be able to do what it is now?

Now it's time to pick a thorn. When I had nothing back then, why didn't I say that I had no potential.

Crossing the river and tearing down the bridge is talking about people like you, annoying bastard! "

Li Dong didn't expect this woman to react so strongly, and immediately said dryly: "I was just joking, why are you so angry."

"Are you kidding me like that? I'm as if I'm worthless. Besides, Kellogg's is not a school for cultivating the Internet industry. The school's strength is in the research of traditional industry businesses.

And I was studying marketing, which is Kellogg's most famous major.

It's just you, who threw me directly at the mall. If I were at the supermarket, I would definitely do better than you. "

"real or fake?"

"Fake!"

Shen Qian answered angrily, and then hummed after a while: "I know what you mean, in fact, we are all restricted by you in the distance.

You have always set the overall situation, we just assume the role of an executor.

And the overall situation you set, under normal circumstances, can maximize the benefits and save the group a lot of detours. At this time, it will naturally appear that we are useless.

In the end, we all became the logistics of stabilizing the situation.

Whether it's Mr. Sun or Senior Brother Yuan, including me, they are almost in this position. What you want is to execute and follow the rules you set, which doesn't leave much room for us to play.

And when you need it, it happens to be some of our weaknesses.

As a result, in your eyes, we naturally become useless, and you appear to be wise.

For a person like you, unless you find an all-around talent to cooperate with you, but how many people in the world can be perfect?

Therefore, the people you value are usually your weaknesses. At this time, you will think that they are very good, but in fact they are not good. It's just that you don't understand this aspect, which makes them good. "

"is that so?"

Li Dong muttered something, but it seemed to make sense after thinking about it.

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Shen Qian shook her head and remained silent.

In fact, the executives from far away should have experienced this. Sometimes it is really aggrieved to work behind Li Dong.

He doesn't have much room for others to play. In this limited space, Li Dong still likes to step in from time to time.

In the end, things were done, but the sense of accomplishment was lacking.

For proud people, this kind of blow is not ordinary.

So whether it is Wu Shengnan or Yuan Chengdao, including Sun Tao, they usually don't bother to play in the overall situation.

Isn't Yuan Chengdao great?

If he wasn't great, Sun Tao wouldn't have recommended him back then, and Shen Qian wouldn't have recommended him either.

But now, Yuan Chengdao can only deal with logistics, and by the way, think about how to improve the passion and motivation of the executives, and then plan for the listing.

If it is not powerful, the distance will not be so stable if the distance is so expanded.

But from the overall situation, Yuan Chengdao did not make much contribution to Yuanfang.

Wu Shengnan is similar, the people who can be recommended by Shen Qian are generally not bad.

Before coming to Yuanfang, Wu Shengnan had a strong record. Even Zhang Lanyu refused to accept it, but he was still convinced in his heart.

In the end, what can Wu Shengnan do in the distance?

Li Dong said he would buy land if he wanted to buy land, he would buy land if he wanted to sell land, and if he had some money in his books, he would find time to develop other things. In the end, Wu Shengnan couldn't do anything.

The same is true for the logistics of the mall. Speaking of which, the bosses of the four major subsidiaries are all hard workers.

The decision-making power is not in their hands, and Li Dong can expect them to have any room to play.

After pondering secretly for a while, Li Dong was also a little helpless.

It's not that he doesn't give others room to play, the main reason is that now he clearly knows how to do it is the best, does it have to make everyone take a detour?

But in this way, it also limits everyone.

There was no way to do it. After all, it had something to do with these people themselves. If they really saw farther than Li Dong, Li Dong would naturally listen to them.

The point is that although these people are powerful, they are not so powerful as evildoers.

If it's the kind of master who can see five steps and ten steps with one step, he won't feel aggrieved.

Of course, this is also Li Dong's extravagant hope. There are many strong businessmen. If there are such people, they will usually choose to start their own businesses, and they do not do badly.

For example, Shao Yibo, who he had a crush on, did very well when he started his business. If there were no accidents later, he might not even be as good as him. Li Dong would naturally think that this kind of person is amazing.

In addition to Shao Yibo, Li Dong actually knew a better guy.

Xu Shengzhe!

This guy is really awesome. Don't look at Li Dong who despises him every day, but actually admires him in his heart.

Over the past few years, Longhua has developed rapidly.

In the previous life, Longhua did not reach the current level, probably because of Li Dong's influence. In this life, Xu Shengzhe took over Longhua ahead of time, and it was a good time.

If Longhua can survive the financial crisis this time, Xu Shengzhe's net worth will definitely skyrocket.

It may be lacking in terms of wealth, but this is also the most intuitive expression, not to mention other industries, playing real estate and business routines, there is really a gap between Li Dong and Xu Shengzhe.

Seeing that Li Dong was still thinking about something, Shen Qian had no choice but to interrupt: "Don't think about it yet, we're used to it anyway. It's better to bring out your wisdom and ability, so that your prestige in the group will be higher, and you will be able to play your part." The greater the effect.

Wait until the day you feel that you can't do it anymore, and then let everyone play by themselves. "

When Li Dong heard it, he turned black and said: "Who can't do it? Can a man say no? Are you forcing me to perform live for you!"

Shen Qian's face turned red, and she said anxiously: "Can you be serious and talk to you about something serious, what's on your mind!"

Li Dong muttered: "You can't say that I can't do it when talking about business, this is very ambiguous."

"roll!"

Shen Qian is angry and funny, sometimes this guy is mature and frightening, and sometimes he is messing around like a child.

Fearing that this guy would mess around in the office regardless of influence, Shen Qian hurriedly said, "Do you still want to know about Opal?"

Speaking of Opal, Li Dong came back to his senses, and quickly asked: "Tell me, how did the talk in Guancheng go?"

"not too good."

"Not so good?" Li Dong thumped in his heart, and asked, "Didn't I say that we can make some concessions?"

"You still make concessions. You have spent all the company's money. How can you make concessions? Do you have any money now?"

"this……"

Li Dong also has a headache, and now he is a little bit overwhelmed when it comes to money.

It costs money to do everything, and he has exhausted tens of billions of cash flow, and the financing cannot meet his requirements. Money is indeed a big problem.

Seeing that he was having a headache, Shen Qian said proudly: "Okay, I just teased you. The talk went smoothly. After all, Opal is not a big company. In addition, they insisted on entering the mobile phone industry at their own risk. Now the funds The chain is about to break.

Until now, their first mobile phone has not been able to go live.

But I do understand why you are optimistic about the other party. I went to the other company to investigate and chatted with Chen Mingyong for a while.

The other party has good ideas about market analysis, product positioning, and sales channels, and is very forward-looking.

Although I can't see the results yet, I think this guy is a talent.

Sometimes when you invest in a company, you invest in talents, which is not a big problem.

But then again, have you had contact with Chen Mingyong? "

"without."

"and you?"

Li Dong said perfunctorily: "I've heard about this person, and the other person is from Backgammon, so he's quite capable. Since I want to make a mobile phone, but I don't understand it myself, I naturally have to find someone who is better.

Anyway, it doesn't cost much, so it's good to try, let's not talk about this, you said that the negotiation went well, how did it turn out? "

"Holding shares is definitely not an option. Opal's shares are very scattered, and employees have held shares. Chen Mingyong and Duan Yongping don't have many shares. In addition, our time is limited, so it is very troublesome to acquire shares from other small shareholders. In the end we negotiated 20%.

But even if it is 20%, we hold the most shares, but the prerequisite is that the management authority is still in the hands of the founding team. Do you have any objection to this? "

"I have no idea about this, and I don't understand anyway."

"That's good."

"By the way, how much did it cost?"

"Two hundred million, you said to give in, I can only listen to you. In addition, I also arranged for people to stay in Guancheng to negotiate with other small shareholders to see if they can acquire some shares in the future."

Li Dong nodded and said: "Do this first, and don't let others know. After all, if we continue to buy shares now, I'm afraid it will cause Chen Mingyong and the others to worry. When it's necessary, we can show our fists. Let's see if we can." Reach the holding line."

According to Li Dong's thinking, it is naturally the best to be able to hold shares.

But before holding the shares, it's better to let people like Lao Chen play freely.

It's good to pick peaches by yourself when Opal is completely done.

Shopping malls, let's not talk about feelings.

What's more, people like him and Lao Chen have no feelings at all, and they haven't even met each other. Naturally, things should be in their own hands.

Shen Qian didn't think there was anything wrong, she nodded and said: "I have also ordered this point, don't worry, it won't cause them to be afraid. I have already won the other shares..."

"Take it?" Li Dong asked in surprise.

"Well, it's a quick decision, so there's no need to waste so much time. I don't need to worry about some minor details. This time I stayed in Guancheng for half a month. If I just talk about things, it will be over in a few days.

Mainly for the follow-up agreement..."

"What about the money?" Li Dong asked hastily.

Shen Qian said nonchalantly: "I still have a lot of money in my hand? It's useless for me to keep the money you and uncle asked for last time. I don't think you plan to use the group's funds, so you can make up your own mind." .

The shares are temporarily put on hold in my name, and I will transfer them to you when I have time in a few days..."

"Let's talk about this later."

Li Dong let out a breath, but didn't say anything else.

He really didn't plan to buy Opal shares with much fanfare, but it's okay for Shen Qian to use her own money to buy it secretly.

As for the shares, Li Dong is not going to have to control them in his own hands.

Shen Qian didn't want to give Shen Qian Yuanfang shares back then, and Li Dong felt that he owed her.

Now that Shen Qian holds Opal shares, and it is her own money, Li Dong thinks it is very good.

Listening to what he said, Shen Qian understood what he was thinking, but Shen Qian didn't say anything.

Money is not money, sometimes she takes it lightly.

As for Opal shares, it is not a big deal to find a time to transfer them to Li Dong later, there is no need to say it.

The two of them didn't say much about it, and then chatted for a while about the launch of Weibo.

As for the financing, Shen Qian didn't ask. If others don't understand Li Dong, how can she not understand?

This guy is probably going to take this opportunity to divert other people's attention.

The internal and external conflicts are all focused on financing at this time. The group is harmonious inside, and the outside is also staring at the gap opened by Yuanfang. At least there will be a period of quiet development for Yuanfang before the financing is completely broken.

And this period of time is actually the most dangerous time in the distance.

Yuanfang, which has exhausted all its cash flow, can't stand the strong blow at this time.

To see hope for other companies, and to see hope and confidence for remote employees, Li Dong did a good job of this trick.

By the time the others regain their senses, the crisis in the distance will probably be resolved.

Even if not, financing will be a way out at that time, and Li Dong will not lose money after all.

I have to say that women can be scary sometimes.

It's not that there are people who are better than Shen Qian, but others probably rarely think of this. At this time, except for Wu Shengnan who knows some inside information, everyone else really thinks that Li Dong wants to raise money.
