Chapter 955

Keep in mind our website and wish you all a happy reading! Don't forget to spread the word.

In the middle of the Saturday night on the west coast of the United States, it is already Sunday afternoon in China on the other side of the ocean.

Shanghai, 18 The Bund.

Chen Qing woke up from a nap, the time was exactly two o'clock in the afternoon,

Ten minutes later, descending from the sixth-floor bedroom to a tastefully furnished home office on the third floor, Skopos chairman Emmanuel Brandt and Charlotte Brenita from Switzerland are sitting around. There was a discussion at a small conference table by the window, and two assistants were busy working on their laptops behind the long desk. tv starter..

There is also Ran Yue, who is in charge of daily affairs on the Chinese side.

Ran Yue was reading a magazine on the sofa in the lounge area when she saw Chen Qing come in and quickly got up.

"Sister Ran, sit down, you're welcome," Chen Qing stopped the other party with a smile, and came to Lily Falwell at the desk first, and asked, "Has the data research institute I asked been passed on?"

Lily Favel nodded and handed a folder to Chen Qing.

Chen Qing took the folder and didn't greet Emmanuel. She went directly to the single sofa next to Ran Yue and sat down. While opening the folder, she asked, "Sister Ran, it's tomorrow's launch ceremony. Any new questions?"

Tomorrow is June 10th, Monday, the first large-scale cloud computing data center in China in Shanghai is officially opened.

Simon just visited China with great fanfare more than a month ago. Such a large data center can show China's determination to develop the information industry. No matter from which aspect, the authorities attach great importance to this matter, so they took the initiative to contact and prepare a grand center. At the launching ceremony, the site will once again announce the arrival of a number of large local enterprises.

Coincidentally in China, Chen Qing and Lin Su were also invited and will participate together tomorrow.

Ran Yue called at noon and said that there was something to discuss about the launching ceremony, so Chen Qing asked, and said at this time: "That's it, Xiaoqing, a leader from above will come over tomorrow, and let me over there. May I ask if you can arrange a connection and have Mr. Westeros say a few words via video?"

Seeing that Ran Yue was speaking vaguely, Chen Qing shook her finger a few times, and saw that Ran Yue shook her head slightly, followed by shaking her head, and frowned slightly, and said, "Sister Ran, if it's not the case, don't mention it again. ."

Ran Yue seemed to have expected and was not disappointed, and turned to say: "In this case, Mr. Jeff Bezos, is it alright? Xiaoqing, listen to me, arranging this connection is definitely only beneficial, I can't be specific. Talk more and you'll find out later."

Chen Qing looked at Ran Yue and said seriously: "Sister Ran, you better give me a thorough understanding, otherwise it will be really difficult."

Seeing Chen Qing say this, Ran Yue hesitated for a moment, looked up at the other people in the office, took out a notepad from her satchel, quickly wrote a name, showed it to Chen Qing, and crossed it out.

At this position, Chen Qing can understand a lot more than before, just glanced at it, and nodded after a little consideration: "I will contact the boss directly."

Chen Qing said so, the matter is basically finalized.

Ran Yue was both relaxed and excited. This errand was taken over by her own initiative. If she did it well, it would be good for herself and her husband who was still in the system. If it was messed up, it would definitely be recorded. She had some more just now. I was worried that the girl in front of me couldn't see something clearly, but fortunately, I didn't see the wrong person or follow the wrong person.

After talking about business, Ran Yue glanced at the document in Chen Qing's hand, but did not investigate, but asked, "Why didn't you see Xiao Lin?"

"She returned to Hangzhou with her younger brother and younger siblings."

"Lin Dong?"

Chen Qing curled her lips slightly: "Yeah, I'm going to the United States soon, and I have a last look at the villagers, fathers, and the great rivers and mountains."

Ran Yue could feel the teasing in Chen Qing's tone.

The two chatted casually, and Chen Qing also paid more attention to the corporate research report from Cersei Capital China Economic Research Institute.

The content is about the business status of the Giant Group.

After reading more than ten pages of the report, Chen Qing only felt that a chaotic and disorderly building was presenting a mess in front of her. The severity of the company's internal problems was far more than a big and inappropriate giant building project.

This is a small assignment arranged by her boss earlier, and Chen Qing has been quietly following it up.

Now it is found that this company is almost a typical case of the sudden rise and collapse of many domestic private enterprises in recent years.

The kind that needs to be taken for granted.

After thinking about annotating at the end of the document and closing the document, Chen Qing looked up at Ran Yue again: "Sister Ran, Lin and I will go back to North America after participating in the launching ceremony tomorrow. You need to pay more attention to things on Zhuoyue's side."

On the past Friday, Chen Qing quietly prepared the excellent computer for half a year to be officially launched. The basic configuration is priced at 4,999 yuan.

The machine code name is excellent b-10.

The b here is the initials of barrel (bucket; wooden barrel), and the complete concept is the famous "barrel theory".

The marketing continued for more than half a month in advance, and the effect was good.

A total of 12 Joyo computer direct-sale stores opened on the same day in southern China, and received orders for 239 Joyo b-10 units on Friday, with a turnover of 1.2 million yuan.

A good start.

Moreover, it is an order because only 120 of them are in stock, and the rest of the order will be delivered within half a month.

This is also an operational focus of Excellence Computer.

Because the material used is too much and the profit is too low, in order to avoid risks to the greatest extent, only a small amount of stock is regularly provided, but orders are accepted at any time.

Frankly, it's hunger marketing.

The effect is equally good.

The psychology of consumers is like this, the more difficult it is to get, the more they want to get it, even if they don’t buy it, they can’t help but take a few more glances.

Therefore, whether it is the price butcher behavior of the excellent b-10, or the starvation marketing that is out of stock on the day of sale, it has widely aroused discussions in the media, and even some other computer manufacturers have begun to pay attention.

Except for the CPU, the others are top-level configurations that are only available for 10,000 yuan machines. Now they are directly sold to 4,999 yuan. If everyone follows up, there is no way to survive. Fortunately, even if the company is aware of the company's background, Zhuoyue Technology is still a small company after all, and its sales market is limited to a few provinces in southern China, so the threat does not seem to be large.

Because of the government's strong promotion of the information industry, China's PC market began to explode last year. In 1995, the annual sales volume reached 3.2 million units, an increase of more than four times compared with 700,000 units in 1994. This year's growth rate is not as exaggerated as last year. Judging from the sales in the first five months, it is expected to reach about 5 million units for the whole year.

Excellent Computer sold 239 computers on the first day. Because of the pre-marketing component, even if it maintains this level for the next year, it is expected to ship 87,000 units in the first year. Based on the 5 million units shipped this year, 1.6% market share.

Not worth mentioning.

This is also the goal that Excellent Technology hopes to achieve.

In fact, on the first day, sales more than doubled from the expected 250 units, and Zhuoyue began to quietly expand the scale of its own assembly plant.

Chen Qing is harsh on the cost control of excellence, including personnel, and even obviously insufficient, so she said that excellence requires Ran Yue to worry about it. The entire small team of the China Daily Affairs Office was assigned to work by La Zhuang Ding.

"This is what I should do."

After all, Chen Qing did not treat them badly in the salary. Ran Yue agreed and got up, knowing that it was time to leave.

In fact, I would love to spend more time in this luxurious building.

Just never lose here.

Although the girl in front of her called 'Sister Ran' affectionately on weekdays, she was definitely not so approachable in her bones, and Ran Yue was not so naive that when others called her sister a few times, she really regarded herself as an outsider.

After saying goodbye, before leaving, I couldn't help but forget to ask: "Xiaoqing, when will there be news over there?"

"It's midnight in North America now," Chen Qing sent Ran Yue out. After thinking about it, she said, "There will definitely be a reply before 12 o'clock in the evening. The time there is different. As long as you agree, there will be no delay in connecting tomorrow."

After sending Ran Yue away, Chen Qing came to Emmanuel and sat down beside them: "What are you talking about?"

"Business," said Emmanuel, who came to a vcd industry gathering this time, and waited for Chen Qing to sit down and explained: "Tomorrow, the Shanghai data center will be opened. Inspired by this incident, Xia Li felt that the network technology tutorial class Books should be very popular, and it happens that there are already many similar publications in North America, maybe we can translate them and sell them in China.”

Chen Qing took a cup from the table tray, poured herself a cup of coffee, and said, "This is publishing. Don't you know how strict China's control of the publishing industry is?"

Emmanuel said: "Chen, don't think we don't know anything, this is a tutorial book, and it doesn't involve politics."

"But this is also the business of the publishing house, which is not something we can do, and you have also ignored the issue of piracy. In short, don't think about it, there is no future," Chen Qing took a sip of coffee and said this, and suddenly a flash of inspiration: " By the way, you can do training courses, this is a big business, after all, just like North America, many people will flock to the Internet industry to seek gold, and there is definitely a great demand for professional training.”

The two women did not expect Chen Qing to suddenly become excited, Charlotte Brenita said: "The training class should be more difficult to do, just like the international school project we are preparing, which requires a very professional team."

"It's not the same, this is vocational training, you can pass it, you don't know how deceitful those vocational training schools are... to make money. And we have ready-made advantages, we can get an Igreit qualification certification, and then find a university to be affiliated with, Teachers are poached from universities, and now there are so many talents who want to go to the sea, and occasionally some technical personnel or venture capital executives are invited from Silicon Valley to give lectures, and their reputation will be immediately lost.”

"..."

Both women were speechless.

Sisters, do you think we didn't hear the finishing touch of the word 'cheat' just now?

Even though they had learned from them when they were discussing and preparing for an international school, Emmanuel and Charlotte, who had a very positive outlook in some respects, were still not easy to accept Chen Qing's idea that education was a business.

However, Chen Qing became more and more interested. She took the pen and paper and started brainstorming the business plan at the conference table. She also pulled the two women who had recovered to discuss it together.

After all, judging from the situation of various domestic vocational training industries that I have recently learned, it is really profitable.

While chatting, Chen Qing's cell phone rang and connected, and it was Lin Su who called.

Chen Qing kept writing on her hand and put the phone under her ear: "Huh?"

"..."

"It's useless to find you, Geely's business, the decision made by the boss himself, we all know the reasons... It's not enough to help contact other investments, whether it is direct or indirect, it will always involve us, and the consumption is Our resources...why are you so stupid, your brain...Okay, okay, the boss didn't say it all, I remember you were there at the time? You tell Li directly, wait another four or five years, and wait for China to join the WTO. At that time, there was still a heart, and we had the opportunity to cooperate, but now we definitely can't."

the same time.

Thousands of kilometers away in Ukraine, it was past nine in the morning.

In the north of Rivny, next to a street in a residential area, Eve Besonoskova, who received a temporary call, hurried over, and just got out of the car with another female guard, who happened to be another black car. Parked on the side of the road, two tall and sturdy young men came down.

Seeing Eve, the two of them respectfully walked over and took the initiative: "Miss Besonoskova?"

"Thank you for coming, I don't know what happened yet."

Eve said, looked left and right to determine the address, and walked quickly to a courtyard not far ahead. Several others followed, and soon after approaching, she heard the woman's cry, and Eve quickly stepped up and followed the voice directly. broke into a yard.

Seeing Eve and the others appearing, the man in the yard who was obviously drunk took advantage of the opportunity to flick the thorns in his hands on the three women who were huddled together in front of him, and then he looked at Eve who showed up with a fierce look. Fu and others: "Who are you?"

Eve said at the same time: "You stop."

Saying that, he stepped forward and was about to stop the other party from continuing the murder. The two young men who came over had already snatched the thorns from the middle-aged man's hands. By the way, they easily pressed the equally tall middle-aged man to the ground, and turned their arms to look at him. Eve, wait for her to fall.

"Eve!"

One of the three girls on the ground suddenly shouted at this moment, got up crying and rushed over.

Eve hugged the girl who was obviously still trembling, and patted her back to reassure her: "It's alright, Galina, it's alright."

The girl snorted as she told the story: "Dad went to drink last night, and he called us when he came back in the morning. I can only call you. My phone was stolen by him just now."

Hearing the girl's words, he pressed a middle-aged young man and groped in the other's pocket a few times, took out a small Nokia mobile phone, and threw it over gently. Eve reached out to catch it, and motioned to another female guard. Check out the other two women who are still hugging each other.

The man who was pressed on the ground reacted at this time, but he was still full of momentum, and looked at Eve with his neck stuck and said: "I know who you are, you are Simon Westeros' subordinates, tell you, I am Guy Linna's father, let me go, or you don't want to take Galina away today, I am her father and I have custody."

The man's clamor has no effect.

Eve ignored the other party's intentions at all, comforted the girl in her arms, and went over to check the other two girls who were pulled up by the female guard.

This is the Banshikov family.

When Galina Bansikova heard her father's clamor, she immediately ran over to hug Eve and cried, "Eve, take your mother and sister and leave with us, we don't want to stay here anymore."

"Xiaobichi, don't even think about it, I'm the head of the family, you all have to listen to me," the man heard the words, and immediately shouted again, but quickly changed his tone: "But you can take it away, At least give me a factory, I asked, those girls, their families are getting a lot of compensation, Simon Westeros is a trillion dollars, I want at least a million dollar factory. Hey, last time Andre paid me for only $1000, I have to report it to you, he must have swallowed the money that was supposed to be given to me, he should be in jail too. $1 million, I want $1 million, cash It’s okay, I have to immigrate to the UK, so I don’t want to stay in this bad place anymore, yes, immigrating to the UK, there should also be another villa for me, it’s in London.”

Eve was originally a very soft-hearted person, but looking at Galina, who came back to visit her mother and sister yesterday, the cracks on the back of the dress that were pulled open by the thorns, and the purple-red skin inside, she immediately pursed her lips and raised her hand. He hugged the girl and motioned to the female guard beside him to bring the other two and walk out silently.

"Hey, don't go!"

The man shouted again when he saw this. Eve felt that Galina stopped subconsciously, and the other two women guarded by the female guard were like mice being held down by cats. According to the two middle-aged young people: "I don't know what's going on, you can contact anyone you want, just figure it out."

After saying this, I suddenly felt that the tone of my voice was a bit like a certain man.

She flashed a little bit of caution, but she left the courtyard with Galina and the others, thinking that she must notify the other side of the matter, and she decided in her heart that it is best not to let the girls in the hot spring manor Let's go home anytime.

Switzerland.

Geneva, still Sunday morning.

In a villa on the shores of Lake Geneva, Celia Miller is meeting with an aide to French President Chirac.

The two sat opposite each other on the sofa in the reception room, and the atmosphere was obviously tense.

"It's already been clear that General April Laviere has been doing things that shouldn't be done for the past few years.

The reason is just that a good friend's nephew was captured on the battlefield in Rwanda. Of course, we also found out some deeper identities of the young man who went to Rwanda to gild. We are not interested in it, as long as Laviere steps down. "

The person who came to meet Celia was a tall middle-aged man with a bald head. Hearing this, he said, "This is impossible. We will not punish a general who has contributed to the country for outsiders."

"Mr. Prek, I'm not bargaining with you, I'm just conveying the boss's request."

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and stared at Celia: "Ms. Miller, don't you think it's unwise for a rich man to fight against a country?"

"Mr. Prek, would you take the initiative to provoke a country in your own name?"

The middle-aged man said subconsciously, "Of course not."

After speaking, he felt a little regretful, and Celia did not give him a chance to go back: "The problem is here, no one will take the initiative to provoke a country, but if a country keeps harassing you because of some entanglements, it will cause you all kinds of troubles. , then, will you resist?"

"It looks like we need to talk about the original cause."

"The cause of the French genocide in Rwanda?"

"Please pay attention to your words," the middle-aged man interrupted alertly. "Ms. Miller, France has not been involved in anything related to the Rwandan genocide."

"Then why is a French general in charge of military affairs in Africa so brooding about this, constantly harassing my boss, the young man who prevented a huge humanitarian tragedy?"

The middle-aged man did not continue, he was silent for a moment, and said, "I will pass on the request to the president on this side."

Celia didn't stop there, and continued: "One more thing, Simon asked me to tell Mr. Chirac that we don't want any unpleasantness between the Westeros system and France. This is not a compromise, it's just pure. As a reminder, we've seen delays in the recent French release reviews for The Mummy and Mission: Impossible 2, which is a very inappropriate approach. Simon also said that if France were to suppress business in the Westeros system in its own country, the The Stroh system will crush French business globally."

The earth keeps spinning.

Time keeps flowing.

The sun followed the rotation of the planet and ran across the Atlantic Ocean, across the American continent, and came to the west coast of the United States.

It was finally Sunday morning in Los Angeles.

I rested very late last night, still woke up at six o'clock in the morning, got rid of the entanglement of the two English roses around me, dressed and washed, and exercised daily.

Seven o'clock in the morning.

The cliff mansion in Beverly Canyon welcomed two couples of guests, Leslie Wexner and his wife, and Wexner's private investment advisor Jeffrey Epstein and his girlfriend, who made an appointment to come together Dine. They were all in pairs, and Simon also called out an early vase to accompany him.

Leslie Wexner and his entourage have been in San Francisco a few days ago, mainly examining investments in the Internet industry.

Siemon quietly took control of ltd's most valuable brand, Victoria's Secret. Leslie Wexner is now only responsible for the express fast fashion brand, which is also under the ltd group, the parent company of Victoria's Secret. In recent years It is good to do it, but after all, it is less interesting and is gradually delegating power to professional managers.

This is also what Simon is happy to see.

Leslie Wexner is only 59 years old this year. The age of ordinary people is close to retirement. For billionaires, 59 years old can still be regarded as young and powerful.

In short, Leslie Wexner intends to start some new business out.

Although they have basically lost control of the ltd group founded by themselves, with Simon's help, the Wexner family's wealth has grown very rapidly in recent years, and they have a large amount of money in their hands.

I also wanted to hear Simon's opinion about this breakfast.

After a chat, everyone sat down at the open-air dining table adjacent to the mansion. The air was cool and pleasant in the early morning, and next to it, you could overlook the City of Angels under the golden sunshine in the morning.

Although, facing this young man in front of him, Leslie Wexner's mood is always a little complicated.

In recent years, the assets have increased a lot, but the influence has decreased even more. Without the potential power that money confers, the attractiveness of money is greatly reduced.

Just like Simon Westeros just introduced the girl named Melania around him, and he didn't even recognize him. If he was still in control of Victoria's Secret, this would never happen.

On the other side, Jeffrey Epstein and his girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, put their attitude in the right place.

The two belonged to the foil who came over cheeky.

Anyhow, just being able to sit here and have breakfast with Simon Westeros is a success, a qualification. In the future, when talking about business and friendship, and occasionally mentioning that you have eaten with Westeros, it is very likely that you will get twice the result with half the effort.

Therefore, compared to Wexner's complicated mood, Epstein was a little calmer when he looked at the beautiful Victorian maid who brought breakfast to everyone, or the beautiful girl beside Westeros.

Epstein, who came from the bottom step by step and climbed to the current position, is very clear about a truth: a poor boy with no money will do everything possible to pursue a girl who may not even be able to hold his hand for a few months, and may be caught in a minute by a rich and powerful man The man hooked his hand, and then offered all the parts of his body that could please a man in the most humble way overnight to try to flatter and please him.

this is the truth.

Therefore, we must climb up at all costs, or accept our fate.
