Top of the Great Era

That night, Zhou Buqi had an online communication with Kurian.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy. Kurian has already made a move and formally offered Lufthansa $10 billion to acquire their IT infrastructure department.

Unsurprisingly, it was rejected.

Also received a warning from the Germans.

Said that they did not feel the sincerity of Ziweixing, such an offer was too bullying.In the past ten years, Lufthansa has invested a total of 25 billion US dollars in this business.This is only the investment of tangible assets of real money, and the brand value of the intangible assets of the gold-lettered signboard of "Lufthansa".

Such a core and such an important asset, the quotation is only 10 billion US dollars?
impossible!
In the study, Zhou Buqi asked Ning Yaxian, who was disheveled, to get dressed and go back to her room to take a shower before she went to work and asked, "Have you verified your assets?"

Kurian said: "Their assets are spread all over Europe. It would be inefficient if they were to verify them one by one. IBM is doing this, so let's not do it here. The report provided by Lufthansa shall prevail. It’s okay. The Germans have a good reputation, and it’s a state-owned enterprise like Lufthansa, so we can rest assured.”

Zhou Buqi said: "I mean another thing. The cost of these optical fiber networks and data centers they invest in has to be amortized year by year. For hardware equipment, the longer time passes, the more serious the asset shrinkage will be."

Kurian coughed and explained: "How much the assets will shrink is also relative. The same part of the IT infrastructure department, in the hands of Lufthansa, is now worth about 15 billion U.S. dollars. Add 1400 I have already talked with consulting agencies about the big burden of employees. Our highest bid cannot exceed US$15 billion. However, if this part of assets is placed in our hands, it can at least show an asset value of US$20 billion. "

Just like buying a computer, the average person bought a new computer and spent 6000 yuan.

After two years of use, it was sold to the second-hand market for 2000 yuan.

Experts in the second-hand market can properly refurbish the computer, and without spending much money, they can sell it at a high price of 4000 yuan, and earn 2000 yuan when they resell it.

The same asset can have different values ​​in the hands of different people.

In this regard, Ziwei Star...compared with competitors such as IBM, Oracle, and HP, has a huge advantage over Lufthansa.

Zhou Buqi said, "How about Oracle and HP?"

"There is no response. HP is okay. The headquarters has sent people over. Forget about Oracle. The US side didn't send people here at all. I guess they gave up." Kurian came from Oracle, and he knows best, "Now It doesn’t matter whether Oracle or HP. The main competitor is IBM, and they are really eager to make this happen.”

Zhou Buqi was more relaxed about it, "It's okay, you can take care of Lufthansa on your side. I'll take care of it on IBM's side!"

"How to do it?"

"I'm fighting for IBM's voluntary exit."

"Ah?" Kurian was stunned, "This is impossible! Several of their core executives have come over."

Zhou Buqi pondered for a moment, "Even if IBM is not willing to take the initiative to withdraw, we can also have a way to make IBM passively withdraw! The most difficult part of this deal is actually the 1400 employees. If we can't solve this problem, no one can achieve it." protocol."

"Ok?"

Kurian still didn't quite understand.

Zhou Buqi said indifferently: "As long as these 1400 employees are engaged in troubles and they are unwilling to join IBM, even if Lufthansa sells its IT infrastructure department to IBM, it will be useless, and it can be overthrown."

Kurian was a little unbelievable, "Do you have a solution?"

Zhou Buqi said: "You just said that the most important thing for Germans to do business is reputation. Coincidentally, I also attach great importance to it."

……

On-campus group purchases usually start at 12:00 noon, which is the earliest rule set by Zhou Buqi.

A new round of group buying has started.

In addition to college students eagerly looking forward to buying some high-quality and cheap winter supplies, cosmetics, snacks, long-wear and johns, and electric heating products, there is another group that is very concerned about the group buying on campus.

The highest level of Suning.

Boss Zhang had lunch early, and then returned to the office to wait for news.

In Suning's commercial landscape, the pattern of the offline store market has stabilized.The bosses of the biggest competitor, Gome, have been arrested, how can they fight?
The smoke of the offline market should almost stop, and the next step is the online market.

In the field of 3C home appliances, Suning does not allow any rivals in China!

This cooperation with intramural group buying is an opportunity for development!

Try it first.

If the effect is good, we must find a way to continue to deepen the cooperation with the school group buying.College students are good, they are the potential core users of Suning.Suning's core sales are appliances, but home appliances are not fast-moving consumer goods. Generally, new home appliances are purchased when moving, getting married, or buying a new house.

Compared with cultivating old users, expanding the new user market is the most important.After graduation, college students have to rent a house, buy a house, find a job and get married. They all have a rigid demand for household appliances, not to mention electronic products such as computers, mobile phones, and routers.

If you make good friends with college students, Suning can dominate the future.

Boss Zhang was full of anticipation. Looking at the time, it was almost 12 o'clock.

A new period of on-campus group buying is about to begin.

It should be more successful, right?

This time, in order to win the favor of college students, Suning.com showed more sincerity than Xiaonei.Under normal circumstances, the products on the school group purchases will not be sold at a loss, but the profit rate is very low.Suning.com is different this time. It has specially launched a batch of subsidized products, which are promoted at cost prices or lower than cost prices.

If all goes well, it is estimated that the one-day subsidy can exceed 100 million yuan. After 4 days of group buying, the total subsidy amount will reach 500 million yuan.

Full of sincerity!
Who can feel bad about money?
Suning, led by Boss Zhang, is best at price competition and is very confident about it.He picked up the phone on his desk, notified the second secretary who focused on Suning.com's business, and ordered: "Always pay attention, come and report every 5 minutes."

Then, he leisurely reviewed the documents on the table.

For this kind of big boss, the work is very busy and the days are very long. It is impossible for him to work hard for a cooperation between Suning.com and the intramural group buying.

Be at peace of mind.

After a while, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and the second secretary, Leilei, ran over anxiously, "Mr. Zhang! E-commerce!"

Boss Zhang glanced up at her and frowned slightly.

Not too happy with her performance.

But he was not too harsh. He lowered his head and began to review the materials again, and said slowly: "I told you, I report every five minutes, and now it's... only half a minute?"

"Mr. Zhang, something happened to Tesco." Secretary Lei Lei's tone changed.

"Huh?" Boss Zhang looked up at her in astonishment, "What happened? What happened?"

Lei Lei said: "The website of Suning.com cannot be opened!"

"Can't open?"

Boss Zhang has a laptop on his desk, but he is not very good at using computers.Secretary Leilei trotted over and entered the URL, but the proper interface never popped up.

Shown is a join error.

"What's going on here?" Boss Zhang was furious, and his tone couldn't help but aggravated.

"This one……"

Lei Lei graduated from the Department of Computer Science, and she is very honored to be the secretary of the boss. This kind of thing is really embarrassing.

Boss Zhang was angry, "What the hell is going on? Could it be... Is e-buy hacked? Who did it?!"

"Should...shouldn't be a hacking attack."

"That is how the matter?"

"Uh……"

There are many reasons for this phenomenon, and Lei Lei couldn't explain clearly for a while.

At this time, the phone on the desk rang, and after answering, Boss Zhang listened to a few words, his face became more and more gloomy, and then he slapped the table fiercely in anger: "I don't care what method you use, Deal with it right away! E-buy can't ruin its reputation in the hearts of college students!"
