Chapter 955

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

No.18, Bund, Shanghai.

Chen Qing wakes up after a nap at 2:00 p.m.

ten minutes later, from the bedroom on the sixth floor to an elegantly decorated family office on the third floor, Emmanuel Brandt, chairman of scupper, and Charlotte brenita from Switzerland are discussing something around a small conference table by the window. Behind the long desk, there are two assistants facing their notebooks The computer is busy.

In addition, there is ran Yue, the person in charge of daily affairs in China.

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

"Sister ran, you're welcome to sit down," Chen Qing stopped each other with a smile. She first came to Lily favel at her desk and asked, "has the information I want come from the research institute?"

Lily favel nods and hands a folder to Chen Qing.

Chen Qing took the folder and did not greet Emmanuel. She went directly to the sofa beside ran Yue and sat down. She opened the folder and asked, "sister ran, it's tomorrow's launching ceremony. What's the new problem?"

Tomorrow is June 10, and on Monday, China's first igray cloud computing data center in Shanghai will be officially opened.

Simon just visited China in a big way more than a month ago. Such a large data center can show China's determination to develop the information industry. No matter what aspect, the authorities attach great importance to this matter. Therefore, they took the initiative to contact and prepare a grand launching ceremony of the center, and a number of large local enterprises will be announced again.

Just in China, Chen Qing and Lin Su were invited to join us tomorrow.

Ran Yue called at noon to say that she had something to talk about the launching ceremony, so Chen Qing asked. At this time, she said, "well, Xiao Qing, there will be a leader from the top tomorrow. Let me ask, can you arrange a connection and let Mr. westero talk through the video?"

Chen Qing saw ran Yue's vague words and shook her fingers. She shook her head slightly and frowned slightly. She said, "sister ran, if it's not true, don't mention it any more."

Ran Yue seemed to expect something, but she was not disappointed. She turned to him and said, "in this case, Mr. Jeff Bezos, is that ok? Xiaoqing, listen to me. It's absolutely good to arrange this connection. I can't say more about it. You'll know later. "

Chen Qing looked at ran Yue and said seriously, "sister ran, you'd better give me a thorough understanding, otherwise it's really hard to do."

Seeing Chen Qing say so, ran Yue hesitates for a moment, looks up at the other people in the office, takes out a notepad from her bag, quickly writes down a name, shows it to Chen Qing, and crosses it out.

At this time, Chen Qing can learn more than ever. She just takes a look and nods her head after a little consideration

Chen Qing said that, the matter is basically settled.

Ran Yue was relaxed and excited. She took the initiative to take the job. It was good for her and her husband who was still in the system. If she messed up, she would be remembered. She was worried that the girl couldn't see something clearly. Fortunately, she 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 explore it. Instead, she asked, "why didn't you see Xiao Lin?"

"She went back to Hangzhou with her brother and sister-in-law."

"Lin Dong?"

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

Ran Yue can feel the little teasing in Chen Qing's tone. It's hard to comment, but she just smiles.

They chatted casually, and Chen Qing also paid more attention to this enterprise research report from cerxi Capital China Economic Research Institute.

The content is about the operation of giant group.

After reading the report of more than ten pages, Chen Qing only felt that a chaotic building was about to collapse in front of her. The severity of the company's internal problems was far more than that of a large and improper giant building project.

This is a small assignment assigned by our boss earlier. Chen Qing has been following up quietly.

Now we find that this company is almost a typical case of many domestic private enterprises rising and falling suddenly in recent years.

The kind that needs to be taken as a warning.

Thinking about making a comment at the end of the document, closing the document, Chen Qing looked up at ran Yue again: "sister ran, Lin and I will go back to North America after the launching ceremony tomorrow. You need to pay more attention to the things over there."

On the past Friday, Chen Qing quietly prepared for the official launch of the excellent computer for half a year, with the basic configuration pricing of 4999 yuan.

Machine code B-10.

B here is the first letter of barrel. The complete concept is the famous barrel theory.Because AMD's processor chips are used, the performance is always worse than Intel's top PC chips, regardless of the price. As a result, the team of excelsior technology company decided to take the bucket theory as the focus of the first PC product's publicity. The marketing direction is that although the CPU is not the strongest, the excelsior B-10 is the most comprehensive configuration "bucket machine" at this stage ’There is no short board, and there is no case that some manufacturers only highlight CPU and simply match other parts.

After more than half a month's marketing in advance, the effect is good.

A total of 12 excellent computer stores opened on the same day in South China received 239 excellent B-10 orders on Friday, with a turnover of 1.2 million yuan.

Good start.

Moreover, the reason is that there are only 120 orders in stock, and the rest will be delivered within half a month.

This is also an operational focus of excellence computer.

Because of the shortage of materials and low profit, in order to avoid the risk to the greatest extent, we only provide a small amount of stock on a regular basis, but accept the reservation at any time.

Frankly, it's hunger marketing.

The effect is also good.

This is the psychology of consumers. 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 looking at it more.

Therefore, both the price butcher behavior of the excellent B-10 and the starvation marketing of the out of stock on the day of sale have aroused extensive media discussion, and some other computer manufacturers have also begun to pay attention.

In addition to CPU, other top-level configurations are only available for 10000 yuan machines. Now they are directly paid to 4999 yuan. If you follow up, there will be no way out. Fortunately, even if the company's background is detected, excellence technology is still a very small company after all, and the sales market is limited to several provinces in South China, so the threat seems not great.

Because of the government's strong promotion of the information industry, China's PC market began to break out last year. In 1995, the annual sales volume reached 3.2 million units, more than four times higher than that of 700000 units in 1994. This year's growth rate is not as exaggerated as last year's. from the sales of the first five months, it is estimated that the annual sales will reach about 5 million units.

Excellent computer sold 239 computers on the first day. Because of the pre marketing elements, it is expected that the first year's shipment will be 87000 units even in the next year. According to this year's 5 million units, the market share will be 1.6%.

It's not worth mentioning.

This is what excellence technology hopes to achieve.

In fact, on the first day, the sales performance of 250 sets more than doubled than expected was released, and excellence began to quietly expand its own assembly plant.

Chen Qing is very strict with the cost control of excellence, including the shortage of personnel. Therefore, she said that the outstanding things need the attention of Ran Yue. It's not polite at all. Because of the lack of manpower, ran Yue and the whole small team in China's daily affairs office were arranged to work.

"That's what I should do."

After all, Chen Qing didn't treat them badly on her salary. Ran Yue agreed and got up, knowing it was time to leave.

I really want to spend more time in this luxurious building.

It's just that it won't lose here after all.

Although the girl called "sister ran" affectionately on weekdays, she was not so approachable in her heart. Ran Yue was not naive enough to be called "sister ran" by others, so she really didn't treat herself as an outsider.

When he said goodbye, he could not help but forget to ask, "Xiao Qing, when can I get news over there?"

"It's midnight in North America now," Chen Qing said after seeing ran Yue out. "There will be a reply before 12 pm. The time there is different. As long as she agrees, the connection will not be delayed tomorrow."

Seeing off ran Yue, Chen Qing came to Emmanuel and sat down: "what are you talking about?"

"Business," said Emmanuel, who came to a VCD industry gathering this time. After Chen Qing sat down, she explained, "the Shanghai data center will be opened tomorrow. Inspired by this, Xiali thinks that network technology tutorial books should be very popular. It happens that there are many similar publications in North America. Maybe we can translate them and sell them in China."

Chen Qing took a cup from her desk tray, poured herself a cup of coffee and said, "this is publishing. Don't you know how strict China's control over 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 what we can do, and you also ignore the problem of piracy. In short, don't think about it. There is no future," Chen Qing said, taking a sip of coffee. Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration: "by the way, you can do training courses. This is a big business. After all, it's like North America, and many people will rush into the Internet industry to seek gold and specialize There must be a great demand for training. "

Two women did not expect Chen Qing suddenly 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. It's vocational training. It's OK to pass. You don't know how cheating those vocational training schools are now Make money. Moreover, we have ready-made advantages. We can get an igritte qualification certificate, and then find a university to be affiliated with. Teachers can dig from the University. Now there are a lot of talents who want to go into the sea. Occasionally, we invite some technical personnel or venture capital executives from Silicon Valley to give lectures, and their reputation will be out immediately. "

“……”

Both women are a little speechless.

Sister, do you think we didn't hear the word "cheat" just now?

Even though they had learned that when they first discussed the preparation of the international school, Emmanuel and Charlotte, who have a very positive view of three aspects, are still not very easy to accept Chen Qing's idea that education is a business.

Chen Qing, however, became more and more interested. She took the pen and paper and began brainstorming business plans on the conference table. She also took the two women to discuss them together.

After all, from the recent understanding of various types of domestic vocational training industry, it is really making money.

While chatting, Chen Qing's mobile phone rings. When she gets through, it's Lin su.

Chen Qing kept writing on her hand and put her mobile phone under her ear: "hmm?"

“……”

"It's no use looking for you. We all know the reason why the boss made the decision himself about Jili It's no good helping to contact other investments. Whether it's direct or indirect, it will always involve us. What we consume is our resources Why are you so stupid, brain Well, well, the boss said that. I remember you were there, too? You can directly tell Li that if we wait four or five years for China's accession to the WTO, if there is still a heart there, we will have a chance to cooperate, certainly not now. "

The same time.

Thousands of kilometers away in Ukraine, it's more than nine in the morning.

On the street of a residential area in the north of Livni City, Eve besonovskova, who received a phone call temporarily, came in a hurry and just got off with another female guard. Just then another black car stopped at the side of the road. Two young men with tall and powerful temperament came down.

Seeing Eve, they respectfully came forward from the initiative: "miss besonovskova?"

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

Eve said, looking left and right to confirm the address, and quickly walked to a courtyard not far ahead. Several other people followed up. Soon after approaching, she heard the woman's cry. Eve quickly quickened her pace and ran directly into a courtyard along the sound.

Seeing Eve and others appear, the man in the yard who is obviously drunk takes advantage of the situation to hold the three women in front of him with the thorns in his hand. Then he looks at Eve and others with a fierce look: "who are you?"

Eve said at the same time, "stop it."

Then he came forward and was about to stop the other party from continuing the attack. The two young men who followed him had snatched the thorns from the middle-aged man's hand. By the way, he easily pressed the same tall middle-aged man on the ground, and turned his arms to look at eve, waiting for her hair to fall.

"Eve!"

One of the three women on the ground suddenly called at this time, got up and rushed over crying.

Eve hugged the girl who was clearly shaking, patted her on the back and said, "it's OK, galena. It's OK."

The girl sobbed and told the story: "Dad went to drink last night and called us when he came back in the morning. I can only call you. I Just now he robbed his cell phone. "

Hearing the girl's words, a young man of middle age groped in each other's pocket for a few times, took out a small Nokia mobile phone and gently dropped it. Eve reached out to catch it and motioned to another woman to check the other two women who were still in a group.

The man who was pressed on the ground reacted at this time, but he was still full of momentum. He held his neck and looked at Eve and said, "I know who you are. You are Simon westero's subordinates. I tell you, I'm galena's father. Let me go, or you won't want to take galena away today. I'm her father and I have custody."

Men's clamour has no effect.

Eve didn't pay any attention to each other's meaning, comforted the girl in her arms, and went to check the other two women who were pulled up by the guard. The older one was obviously galena's mother, and the younger one should be the girl's sister.

This is the banhikovs.

Hearing her father's clamor, gelina banhikova immediately ran over to hold eve and cried, "Eve, take mom and sister and leave together. We don't want to stay here."

"Xiao bichi, don't even think about it. I'm the head of the family. You all have to listen to me," the man cried out, but quickly turned his tongue: "but it's OK to take it away. At least give me a factory. I've inquired about the girls. Their families have got a lot of compensation. Simon westrow has a trillion dollars, and I want at least one A $1 million factory. Hey, last time Andre sent me with only $1000. I have to report to you. He must have swallowed the money he should have given me. He should be put in prison, too. One million dollars. I want one million dollars. Cash is OK. I have to immigrate to England. I don't want to stay in this place anymore. Yes, immigrate to England. There should be another villa for me. It's from London. "Eve was originally a very soft hearted person. However, looking at the crack on the back of gelina's dress, which came back to visit her mother and sister yesterday, and the purple skin inside, she immediately pursed her mouth, put her arms around the girl, and motioned to the woman guard to take the other two and walk out in silence.

"Hey, don't go!"

Seeing this, the man shouts out again. Eve feels that gelina stops subconsciously. The other two women who are guarding her are just like the mice who are held down by the cat. They are more angry inexplicably. With a cold face, they turn to the two young people who are still pressing the middle-aged man and say, "I don't know what's going on. You can contact anyone and see what to do."

With that, I suddenly feel that my voice is a bit like a man.

A little bit of caution, but still with gelina a few people straight away from the small courtyard, thinking that things must inform that side, and also decided that this period of time had better not let the hot spring manor girls go home.

Switzerland.

Geneva, it's still Sunday morning.

Celia Miller is meeting with an assistant to French President Jacques Chirac in a villa on Lake Geneva.

They were sitting on the sofa in the reception room, and the atmosphere was obviously tense.

"It's very clear that general April Lavier has been doing something he shouldn't do in public and private land in the past few years. The reason is that the nephew of one of his good friends was captured in Rwanda. Of course, we also found some deeper identities of the gilded young man who went to Rwanda. We're not interested in it, as long as Lavier steps down."

Celia came to meet a tall, middle-aged man with some baldness. He said, "it's impossible. We won't punish a general who makes contributions to our country for the sake of outsiders."

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

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

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

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

Then she regretted that Celia didn't give him a chance to go back: "the problem is that no one will take the initiative to provoke a country, but if a country constantly harasses you because of some disputes and creates all kinds of troubles for you, will you resist?"

"It seems that we need to talk about the original cause."

"The cause of the French massacre in Rwanda?"

"Please pay attention to your words," the middle-aged man interrupted alertly. "Ms. Miller, France was not involved in anything related to the Rwanda massacre."

"So why would a French general in charge of military affairs in Africa be so upset about this and harass my boss, the young man who prevented a huge humanitarian tragedy?"

The middle-aged man didn't take on any more. He was silent for a moment and said, "I'll tell the president what he wants here."

Celia didn't give up, then said: "another point, Simon asked me to tell Mr. Chirac that we don't want any more unhappiness from the westero system and France. It's not a compromise, it's just a pure reminder. We find that the French screening of mummy and mission impossible 2 has been delayed recently, which is very inappropriate Inflow. Simon also said that if France suppresses the business of the westero system in its own country, the westero system will suppress the business of France on a global scale. "

The earth rotates continuously.

Time goes on and on.

The sun followed the planet, spinning, running across the Atlantic, across the American continent, to the west coast of the United States.

Finally, it was Sunday morning in Los Angeles.

I had a rest late last night. I still woke up at 6 o'clock in the morning to get rid of the entanglement of the two British roses around me. I dressed, washed and exercised everyday.

Seven o'clock in the morning.

There are two guests in the cliff mansion in Beverly canyon. Leslie Wexner and his wife, Jeffrey Epstein, Wexner's private investment consultant, and his girlfriend have a dinner appointment. They were in pairs, and Simon called for an early vase to accompany him.

Leslie Wexner and his party have been in San Francisco a few days ago, mainly investigating the investment in the Internet industry.

Simon stealthily took control of the most valuable brand of Ltd, Weimi. Leslie Wexner is now only responsible for the express fast fashion brand of the parent company of Weimi, Ltd group. In recent years, he has done well, but after all, he has lost some interest and is gradually devolving power to professional managers.

That's what Simon likes to see.

Leslie Wexner is only 59 years old this year. Ordinary people are close to retirement. For the billionaires, 59 is still considered to be a young man.

In short, Leslie Wexner plans to open up some new businesses.

Although they have basically lost control of the first-hand founded Ltd group, with the help of Simon, the wealth of the Wexner family has been growing very rapidly in recent years. They have a large amount of money in their hands and have to do something.I also want to hear Simon's opinion about this breakfast.

After some greetings, you can sit down at the open-air dining table near the cliff of the mansion. The morning air is cool and pleasant, and you can overlook the city of angels in the golden sun.

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

In recent years, assets have increased a lot, but influence has decreased even more. Without the potential power given by money, the attraction of money will be greatly reduced.

Just like Simon westrow just introduced a girl named Melania, who didn't even know him. If he was still in control of Vimy, this would never happen.

On the other side, Jeffrey Epstein and his girlfriend, Katherine Maxwell, put their attitude in a very proper way.

Two people belong to the thick skin rub to come over of foil.

Anyway, as long as you can sit here and have a breakfast with Simon westero, it's a kind of success and a kind of qualification. In the future, when you talk about business and friendship, you may get twice the result with half the effort if you occasionally mention that you've had dinner with westero.

Therefore, compared with the complex mood of Wexner, looking at the beautiful waiters who delivered breakfast to us, or the beautiful girls around westrow, Epstein was a little calm.

Epstein, who was born at the bottom of the society and has been climbing to his present position step by step, knows one truth very well: a penniless poor boy will try his best to pursue a girl who may not be able to catch up with him for a few months, or be hooked up by a rich and powerful man in a minute, and then give up all the parts of his body that can please a man with the most humble attitude overnight to try his best to flatter him.

This is the reality.

That's why we have to climb up at all costs, or admit our lives.
