Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 931 Protection (4k)

Dangdang initially agreed to sell itself to E-buy.

Qingzi gave up struggling under the intensifying financial crisis.

How embarrassing this is.

Yu Hong, who was on the sidelines for the first time, quickly outlined the changes in her mind. E-buy, which is the number one B2C in China, got Dangdang's logistics and warehousing this time, and it really supplemented nutrition with almost no rejection.

Because, after working hard, Dangdang imitated E-buy.

This is all right, those who learn from me live, those who imitate me die...

"E-buy has digested Dangdang this year, so next year will it be clear that the chariots and Taobao will compete against Taobao?" Yu Hong talked about the situation of domestic e-commerce, and couldn't help asking, "Can I really buy Dangdang? No What will change?"

Fang Zhuo shook his head lightly: "What else can change, just buy it, I don't hold grudges."

This is just one small thing that the global financial crisis has spawned.

It has been difficult for Dangdang to find funds in China in the past two years. Venture capitalists generally have a perception that if an Amazon can be born in China, it must be e-buy instead of Dangdang. If B2C has a similar model, it will definitely eat Come out a big winner.

Therefore, the reason why Li Guoqing made a relatively quick decision was that Dangdang, which took foreign funds at a high price, seemed really unable to survive.

Xiong Xiaoge confronted Li Guoqing for the third time today, and it still didn't take much time, and the reason was very simple.

——Boss Fang is rich now, so he can give you cash.

——It’s not shameful to lose to Fang. Others want to lose to the richest man in the mainland, but they can’t find a chance.

——Everyone knows that you and Mr. Fang have a grudge. This time, you would rather sell the company to him, but it is just to protect the employment of the employees in the crisis. If you change other buyers, you may not be able to make such a promise. Righteousness.

In this way, Li Guoqing went to justice generously and finally made the company commit himself to the Great Demon King.

"In two days, I'm going to make a call to congratulate Weiwei. This business is really good." Yu Hong didn't worry about Mr. Fang's psychological quality, and planned to call after the domestic Double Eleven. .

"Well, it's really good. Let's see what Taobao will do next year." Fang Zhuo also thought of Taobao, who was eyeing him like a tiger, and wondered whether e-buy, which has strengthened its warehousing and logistics this time, could stimulate new changes in Ma Dian.

With Dangdang's supplements, the scope of the pilot program for speeding up logistics in the first half of next year may be even wider.

The domestic e-commerce pattern is focusing on the big ones, and there are more vertical subdivisions on the other hand.

Fang Zhuo changed his mind, thinking about the e-buy meeting before this year.

E-buy has always been developing very fast, burning money and burning fast, and the number of users is increasing rapidly. The first half of next year will be another wave of key attempts.

"Thank you boss for the dinner, see you tomorrow." Yu Hong finished the interview with Mr. Fang, and was also very satisfied with hearing the business contacts who didn't know if they were gossip.

"Well, see you at the meeting tomorrow." Fang Zhuo nodded. Tomorrow morning is Yike's internal meeting, which is not only a summary, but also preparation for the Christmas promotion in Europe and the United States.

Last year's Yike Mars performed very well in this festival, and the company has high expectations for this year.

The next day, on the 12th, at ten o'clock in the morning, the meeting with the time difference between the three places was officially held.

As an emerging force this year, Liu Qiangdong, head of Huaxia's mobile phone business, first reported to his colleagues.

As of November, Yike's sales activities in China lasted for two and a half months.

In this short period of time, the Huaxia team first completed the original three-month sales target of 150 million units.

Second, actual sales were more than double.

Yike Mars expands with the expansion of China Unicom's 3G pilot cities.

Based on the vigorous promotion of operators and the high enthusiasm for online and offline distribution, Liu Qiangdong's data "total sales volume is 326 million units, the first generation of Mars is 204 million units, and the second generation is 122 million units." Can't help talking.

How come there are so many?

How can there be so many?

326 million in two and a half months!
The potential of the Huaxia market is even greater than imagined, and it seems to be the first or second place of Yike in the global market.

Even if the old models accounted for 6% of them, it is very, very impressive!

This is because China's 3G business has not fully launched!

Liu Qiangdong had to interrupt the report and accepted everyone's discussion and applause.

In fact, Yike achieved a million sales in China at the end of August by relying on the promotion of Dongfeng Olympic Games. In the following September and October, it maintained a healthy curve and gave 8 million sales.

When the meeting was calm, he went on to talk about the reasons for Yi Ke's achievements.

Yike's performance in the Chinese market is also the epitome of the global market, but due to local factors, it has more shares than Nokia, Sony Ericsson, LG, and Samsung in other markets!
The mobile phone industry under the financial crisis lowered the global shipment forecast, but the shipments of Yike and Apple still maintained growth, and the traditional ones were naturally injured.

What Liu Qiangdong said is the local similarities and differences in the overall trend.

After his report was over, Yu Hong turned her head to close the microphone and praised Mr. Fang: "I didn't expect this e-commerce company to come to dry the mobile phone. It's really good."

"Hey, Pan Ben is still in the investment business. Isn't it a boom in the mobile phone business?" Fang Zhuo laughed.

The person in charge of Yike's European business is Pan Ben, the vice president. He came from IDG. He was in charge of part of the US business under Yu Hong earlier, and now he has transferred to Europe.

The second person to report was also Pan Ben.

He first talked about the progress of Echo's cooperation with new operators in the UK. Following Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone became Echo's second partner, basically continuing the cooperation with Deutsche Telekom.

This cooperation was reached at the end of September, which will help to further expand sales in the UK.

Subsequently, Pan Ben reported the sales results since the release of the mobile phone at the end of June.

从7月到10月的4个月时间，易科第二代Mars销售了338万台，上一代型号在降价后也有116万台的销量，合计是454万台。

This result is still excellent, and it is quite dazzling in today's mobile phone market.

While colleagues around the world were applauding for this, the door of the meeting room was knocked and pushed open by Secretary Liu Zonghong. He walked quickly to the boss and informed the latest situation in his ear.

Soon, this meeting was handed over by Fang Zhuo and co-founder Yu Hong to host.

Although Mr. Yu is also qualified and capable to host such a meeting, Mr. Fang's temporary exit still made the executives murmur, what's wrong?Nokia killed the door? Has LG tied up the company's people?
Yu Hong didn't know the situation either, so she suppressed the fluctuations in her heart and signaled Pan Ben to continue this important meeting.

Fang Zhuo on the other side walked out of the conference room quickly, asking Liu Zonghong to confirm the accuracy of the news again.

After a while, Liu Zonghong confirmed that Kong Yu, the person in charge of the MIGA Fund, was taken away by the FBI to assist in the investigation!
This news is undoubtedly very important, so Liu Zonghong had to interrupt Mr. Fang's important meeting.

"FBI, this name is really not small." Fang Zhuo sat in the office thinking about the changes in the situation. Gasoline people have always acted cautiously. What is wrong with this?To what extent?
"The lawyer is already on the way, and we will know the specific situation soon." Liu Zonghong reported after pouring tea for his boss.

Fang Zhuo nodded slightly, the shock caused by the reputation of this institution receded, and he began to think about friends in various aspects—there is something wrong with your money-making tools, can you help me?

But it is also necessary to know what the situation is before mobilizing people.

About an hour later, the latest information came.

This is a large-scale investigation launched by the FBI since the beginning of the year. Well-known investment banks Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and a number of hedge funds are all included in the investigation. They cooperate with the Securities and Exchange Commission SEC, focusing on accounting fraud, loan securitization, insider transactional issues, etc.

The reason why Kong Yu was asked to assist in the investigation was because of the cooperation between MIGA Fund and Goldman Sachs on CDO.

"Are you really assisting in the investigation?" Fang Zhuo was a little surprised.

Liu Zonghong was very cautious and did not speak, for fear that his words would cause a misjudgment by the boss.

He felt that Kong could always try to save him.

"Change a cup of tea, and then pay attention to the new news." Fang Zhuo asked the secretary to leave the office, and then began to call the friends who had already taken stock. This seems to be purely affected by the investigation of Goldman Sachs, and it should not be difficult to solve.

After talking on the phone for 10 minutes, Fang Zhuo called Liu Zonghong in and asked him to continue to pay attention to the news, and then went to preside over the Yike meeting again.

Liu Zonghong was sitting in the office, his mind fluctuating. No matter what, the FBI was involved. This must be a big deal!

Half an hour later, the boss's cell phone rang.

Liu Zonghong connected the phone and heard Mr. Kong's own voice.

"Mr. Fang..."

He hurriedly said, "President Kong, it's me, Xiao Liu, and President Fang is in a meeting."

"Are you in a meeting about the fund?" Kong Yu's voice was a little tired, and he was a little frightened, "I'm going to Silicon Valley by plane now, and I'll be there in the afternoon."

At this time, Liu Zonghong really couldn't bear to tell the situation, so he replied vaguely: "Well, Mr. Kong, Mr. Fang is waiting for you at the R&D center."

Kong Yu didn't hang up the phone immediately, but continued: "There is another situation, you can talk to Mr. Fang later..."

He switched to dialect and said, "Xiao Bao seems to be in a similar situation."

Liu Zonghong didn't know who the person in Mr. Kong's dialect was, but he knew that the boss must know.

He firmly remembered and hesitated after hanging up the phone, and interrupted the boss's Yike meeting again.

This time, Fang Zhuo did not leave the meeting, but said that he would continue the meeting after knowing the situation.

Yike's global meeting lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon.

This meeting is quite important. Since its official launch last year, the two generations of Yike mobile phones have already had more than 2000 million users worldwide. Compared with Nokia's annual shipments of 4 to 5 million mobile phones , even if it is still a minority, it has become an important part of the global mobile phone industry.

Such mobile phone users are users of the Android camp, users who can more and more ignite touch screen and smart products.

To commemorate this stage of user scale, Yike will launch another mobile game "Temple Run" at the end of November to cheer everyone up on Christmas.

At the end of the meeting, Yu Hong asked what unexpected situation happened.

"It's nothing serious, it's just a matter of the fund. Kong Yu is fine, and he's flying to Silicon Valley." Fang Zhuo said flatly.

Yu Hong looked left and right, and confirmed that it was really ordinary, so she didn't ask any more. Yike's main competitors at Christmas this year have become two, one is Apple, and the other is Samsung, and there is still pressure of.

Fang Zhuo left the meeting room, sat in the office, and made another phone call.

The secret code that Kong Yu mentioned refers to the big short John Paulson, because now there is a financial steward who is also used to calling Paulson, so the communication between the two is the referee's big guarantee, and the short's small guarantee.

As for the situation mentioned by Kong Yu, it is nothing more than a CDO contract.

Before the crisis broke out, both Paulson and MIGA funded Goldman Sachs, and used Goldman Sachs’ name to do CDO and made profits from it. But later the crisis became more and more obvious, and MIGA Fund stopped. Paulson Sen did it a little longer.

are procedurally legal.

However, even so, although there should be no problems with Paulson, considering the information from the clients, Fang Zhuo still does not want this matter to continue to spread.

Paulson doesn't know the true identity of his own funds, but he can still get the same.

Based on such considerations, Fang Zhuo followed suit, believing that the rights and interests of clients must be protected.

When Kong Yu arrived in Silicon Valley, Xiaobao there was also safe and sound.

"Mr. Fang..." Seeing Mr. Fang, Kong Yu finally let go of his heart completely!
He suddenly realized one thing, flying around like this, being paranoid, he might as well stay by Mr. Fang's side for safety!

This is the safest place in the world!
"Boss Kong was shocked. It's okay. I've already asked clearly. He's investigating the Goldman Sachs CDO." Fang Zhuo personally poured tea for Kong Yu, comforting the fund manager who went in and was fished out.

He added: "There is nothing serious about Paulson, and his hedge funds are all within a legal framework."

Kong Yu choked: "Boss Fang..."

Fang Zhuo knew that Kong Yu was quite frightened this time, so he comforted him again: "Don't worry, nothing will happen, it's safe."

Kong Yu hesitated and said, "Boss Fang..."

Fang Zhuo said: "Tell me, it's just the two of us here, you can mention anything you want."

"I want to go back to my country..." Kong Yuzhen mentioned.

Fang Zhuo vetoed it without hesitation: "Change it to another one."

Kong Yu: "..."

He said with some difficulty: "We really spent enough money this time."

Fang Zhuo said sternly: "What is enough? The clients want you to actively help them recover from their injuries. Can you just leave it alone and return to China? I can promise you..."

Kong Yu felt that it was enough for Mr. Fang to agree, but he was afraid that Mr. Fang would say yes, but he would not agree in his heart.

"But the clients won't agree either." Fang Zhuo frowned, and hesitated again, "Well, Kong Yu, you can go to Chicago for a while, it's safer than here, you can go in with your left foot, and you can come out with your right foot .”

He continued: "You can also go to Europe for a while, and check the situation in Greece by the way. I heard that the CDS there is very good."

Kong Yu remained silent, Mr. Fang, stop talking about inside information, I won't listen, I won't listen...
