Chapter 1023 The Future of Rice
In fact, Gu Qing thinks it is not difficult for Da Mi to lose weight.
20 years ago, Lei Jun sold Joyo to Amazon and became financially independent at that time. Later, Ali spent $4.3 billion to acquire Squirrel Browser. Lei Jun holds 20% of the shares of this browser company. With this order alone, he earned another $860 million in cash.
Before founding Da Mi, Lei Jun also owned shares of Kingsoft, YY and other companies that were hot in Da Xia at that time.
Therefore, Lei Jun's wealth, ability and connections have made the voice within Da Mi not so seriously divided. The reason why he gave foreign senior positions is more to consider the stability of the mobile phone parts supply system.
Now the Da Xia domestic parts manufacturer supply system is already a stable member of the Jiuzhou industrial system. As long as Da Mi is willing to lose weight, it will soon be able to enjoy the super cost-effective service of the national supply chain.
In comparison, the most difficult requirements proposed by Gu Qing are to change the place of registration back to China and delist from the US stock market.
The former is to cut off a big piece of meat from Da Mi, so that it can no longer simply enjoy overseas tax avoidance and investment channels. The latter is to "break up" with American capital directly. Not only can Da Mi no longer easily obtain American stock resources, but it also has to "struggle for investment" in China.
It can be said that this is a very difficult choice.
So after hearing these conditions, Lei Jun's face sank and he was speechless.
Seeing the other party like this, Gu Qing thought about it and decided to say one more thing. If the other party really can't understand the future direction, then he can only wait for a slow decline.
"Next year will be an extremely special time. The world is about to undergo a dramatic change. Even if your company does not change its registered place or withdraw from the US stock market, it will not change your company's status as a member of Daxia Enterprise.
Last year, several large companies in Daxia cleanly withdrew from the US stock market, and some medium-sized group companies changed their registered places back to China.
TSMC, on the contrary, directly began to move its R&D and manufacturing centers and actively joined that side.
Many times, rules are just superficial reasons. Once the face is torn, the rules are no longer rules. At that time, the most important thing is the fist and the market.
Currently, the company's new products and new businesses are online, so I am quite busy recently. If you have any ideas, you can contact me through the President's Office."
Without too many polite words, after saying this, Gu Qing got up and left the small meeting room, leaving behind a figure with his head down in thought.
For the first time, Lei Jun felt that the soft sofa would make people feel uncomfortable sitting on it like an iron plate.
The lights in the Jiuzhou Technology meeting room seemed a little dim to him.
The overseas rice business that he just boasted about was actually not as brilliant as it seemed.
For example, in India, where the company has the best performance growth, the local law enforcement department claimed that the subsidiary of Rice violated the Foreign Exchange Management Law, illegally remitted money to overseas institutions, and seized assets of about 5 billion yuan belonging to Rice Technology India Private Limited.
Even in another investigation by the authorities, the Rice Group was suspected of tax evasion and its office in India was raided.
In addition, the local relevant departments have been very tough during this period, requiring Rice Company to provide information on foreign funds, shareholding and financing models, financial statements, and key executives operating the business.
Obviously, even if it relies on Qualcomm, TSMC, and Hanxing's products to build an assembly plant, as a technology company, Rice can no longer resist the greed of certain forces.
In other words, what Rice has experienced recently is that certain forces are putting eye drops on Rice.
This makes Lei Jun feel very tired and even angry.
He has given up so much profit, why are these people still unwilling to be satisfied! ! !
Although it was in the meeting room of Jiuzhou Technology, Lei Jun seemed to see the list of shareholders of his own company in front of him. JPMorgan Chase held 11.88% of the shares, Hua Bank held 12% of the shares, Morgan Stanley held 10.75% of the shares, and European brokerage HSBC held 25.12% of the shares. UBS and Standard Chartered were also shareholders with numbers.
Every penny that Rice earned from cost-effectiveness must "contribute" a "small effort" to the growth of these capitals.
Now that they have withdrawn, will they set up a new mobile phone company?
Or do assembly, just change the suppliers from abroad to domestic, but can the new mobile phone brand survive under the attack of companies such as Suiren, Xiawei, Xiaxing, and opo?
There is also a secret heard from a friend that these companies are doing localization work for satellite video communications. If the new company they set up wants to catch up with these companies, it may take several years, or even a lifetime.
Which step does not require massive funds and manpower and material resources in the early stages of R&D, production, distribution, sales, etc.?
The difficulty is comparable to that of an ordinary person with a monthly salary of less than 10,000 yuan, who must buy a courtyard house in the core ring of Yanjing within five years! And there must be no violations or outrageous operations.
An impossible task.
If it weren't for Gu Qing's example, Lei Jun couldn't imagine that someone could start from a software company and directly jump to the world's first technology company in less than ten years, and at the same time, they have made both software and hardware the top of the industry, and have been researching aerospace projects.
It's death anyway. If you continue to follow foreign capital, although you can get support and preferential treatment in some overseas markets, your technical strength will only keep up with the times and eventually be abandoned by the times.
Change your appearance and enter the Jiuzhou system?
It is impossible. The company cannot do the kind of slimming that Gu Qing requires. Even if he wants to do it, the senior management will not agree. If he wants to be arbitrary, he will probably encounter a series of accidents in a short time.
When Lei Jun came back to his senses from his contemplation, the security employee who was focusing on Lei Jun behind the camera suddenly jumped in his heart.
Liu Gui still remembers that the first smartphone he bought was a rice. That few hundred yuan phone accompanied him through the time when he needed a mobile phone most in college.
At that time, President Lei was so high-spirited that he could easily get along with young people.
Now, President Lei captured by the camera has protruding eyes, bloodshot eyeballs, but his cheeks are as thin as a skinny monkey, and his hair seems to have lost its luster, reflecting a gray and faded luster.
In just two hours, Lei Jun seemed to have aged ten years out of thin air.
In the extremely strong microphone, Liu Gui looked at this business elite with a changed image facing the empty conference room, and suddenly laughed in a low voice with a miserable face: "Hahaha, hahaha, good, good!"
Amidst the miserable laughter, Lei Jun stood up tremblingly, and left Jiuzhou Technology with a hunched back.
In the imaginary world, all data and stories are virtual, please don't take it seriously.
