this man is not calm

Chapter 307 Time waits for no one

A few days later, on Thursday, in the large conference room at the atrium of the Foreign Economic and Trade Building, Yang Qi and Sun Daqi sat side by side in the auditorium, and Liu Yanqing sat at the back, with secretary Huang Yiyi following next to her.

"The meeting was really long enough."

Even though he was used to public events of this nature, after nearly three hours of lengthy and stylized meetings, he still complained a little boredly, which made Yang Qi, who was more familiar with his style, couldn't help but laugh.

"Mr. Jin doesn't want to participate either. If there wasn't a reason why he had to come, he would have asked me to come forward."

I can't help but laugh when I think of my immediate boss's murmur of "Small meetings for big things, big meetings for small things, and no meetings for important things."

To be honest, this criticism has its practical significance, but it is not particularly accurate. At least this conference is not so useless. Without the long and complicated speeches, there is still a lot of "good stuff". What is important is not the content, but the content. The "wind outlet" blowing from this.

No change is achieved overnight. Before a violent storm hits, it is a rare skill to be able to judge the approach of a hurricane from the gentle breeze and gentle water waves.

From many speeches, Yang Qi compared Jinshang's adjustments to the company's strategic direction in the past few months, thinking about its important implications, and thinking about future countermeasures from a technical perspective;

Sun Daqi, who was appointed as an international Internet cross-border business exchange promotion consultant, was thinking about his own future.

Working hard in an official career was not what he wanted. What's more, Sun Daqi was not from a formal background, but entered as a technical consultant. The path was obviously narrower and the risk was higher.

"Whether it's a rumor or not, it's hard to say. 』

The Yellow Pages business was gone when it was gone. Although it was a lot of hard work, it was not wasted and turned into nothing. Instead, it was monetized as much as possible, recovering money and additional network resources, and accumulating strength for the next business venture.

Sun Daqi shook his head and cleared his thoughts, then changed the topic and asked,

"Is everything going well for you here? I heard that Lao Yang, you have been very busy recently."

"It has not invested much in the field of cross-border e-commerce, and the online "flea market" that mainly serves small and medium-sized merchants and second-hand transactions has not been a key support. Is it not optimistic, or is it deliberately leaving a trap to allow other competitors to open the way? 』

"It's nothing. I just have some questions that I can't figure out. It's not important."

When asked about this matter, the other party just gave the answer very calmly: "The market is vast and can accommodate several companies of the same type."

After working hard in the field of foreign economic and trade for more than half a year, Lao Sun's vision has improved a lot. Looking back, looking at the Yellow Pages company that he once regarded as a treasure, he can naturally see its limitations.

Sun Daqi, who was thinking this way, looked at Jin Shang who went to visit important people in the side hall after leaving the table. As far as he could see, he could only see the back of the young boss.

Seeing that his former employer was a little distracted, Yang Qi poked Sun Daqi with his elbow and asked curiously:

"What, do you have something to tell Mr. Jin? If it's inconvenient, I can pass the message on your behalf..."

Judging from the strategic layout of Jinxi Culture, Sun Daqi also roughly understood what Jinshang was going to do, especially Jinxi Mall, an industry leader that was on the cusp of the storm, leading the Internet industry to rush forward, and its brutal growth rate was gradually accelerating.

Thinking about it no longer takes a day or two, but actually doing it is not an easy task.

"Don't worry, I'm not such a coy person."

This time I came to attend an important meeting related to the achievements and strategic direction of the domestic electronic information industry with the intention of seeking inspiration.

With successful precedents, latecomers can refer to them.

"Then... I won't ask any more questions. Based on our friendship, if you have any trouble, you can always come to me. If you can help, I will never refuse."

"Even Xiao Jin, who has great vision, only wanted to cooperate and did not try to take it under his wing. It seems that he already knew that the future of Yellow Pages Company was not that far-reaching. 』

As for returning to my hometown, that is also a direction, but it is not to be a teacher who can see everything at a glance, or to make some hard money in a translation agency, but to be a lifelong career that I can really work hard for.

"There is a boss who is extremely talented, has outstanding abilities, has many ideas, and is very energetic. 'Old guys' like us don't dare to slack off for a moment, for fear that we will not be able to complete the task and be disrespected by our boss."

"E-commerce...has great potential. 』

Putting aside the minutiae of troubles, Jinxi Mall, as an innovation pioneer in China... and even in the world, did not use its first-mover advantage to squeeze out other peers or even engage in vicious competition. While Sun Daqi admired Jinshang's ability, he also felt a little bit disappointed. Somewhat lucky.

Jinxi Mall, which was established less than a year ago, has a valuation of more than 2 billion. There are even rumors on the market that several large domestic chain stores put pressure on it while secretly contacting it. They offered 3 billion to acquire the company but were rejected.

"That's true. Your... treatment is really good. Xiao Jin is willing to invest money."

Investing in scientific research is a very risky move, especially for private companies that have not yet developed and grown. Jinxi Culture has made several major route decisions since its establishment, and has never made a mistake. It must be said that the boss Jin Shang is indeed a hero with extraordinary strength and luck.

If the strategic direction is right, as long as we stick to it, it will be the difference between winning more and losing less.

Yang Qi nodded slightly and said with a smile:

"Since I've been working hard in the sea, the bosses I've met are not economical. You and Mr. Jin are indeed unrivaled in the fields you are good at. As long as you persist, you will definitely achieve something."

Jin Shang is a man whose talent cannot be hidden. Anyone who knows him closely will understand that if you follow him, you will definitely achieve something. In addition, he is not stingy himself. He has a good background and is well educated. He knows how to share his success. As long as he works with him, If you get on this "car" and work hard not to be left behind, your future development will definitely be good.

Sun Daqi is on another level, with a charm that is difficult to measure in detail. He is now just in the stage of "lurking in the abyss" and has accumulated a lot of experience. If he encounters the right opportunity, he can make a difference.

"Let me lend you some good words."

After a few friendly laughs, Yang Qi lowered his voice and asked:

"Are you interested in 'making a move' again?"

"I just have an idea. I still have to think about how to do it."

After a pause, Sun Daqi sighed with regret,

"As you know, I don't come from a technical background, and I have limited 'dry goods'. It's okay to be a consultant for a short time. But over time, the value will be drained out sooner or later. In the future... it will be difficult to get around!"

It's not that Sun Daqi is unfounded, but he is very aware of his own abilities. He quit his low-paying but stable teaching job and came to the capital to start a business. He must also have lofty ideals that are not good for outsiders. His current job is just a stopgap measure. , it’s okay to expand your network and accumulate experience, but it’s really difficult to make a big difference.

So, it was natural for me to want to start a business again.

"Well, I can't say for sure. I'm busy realizing Mr. Jin's whimsical ideas every day. I'm exhausted. I can't give any decent suggestions at the moment. But... if you have any ideas, you might as well say it bluntly. Mr. Jin is not narrow-minded. If you have some spare time, I can help a little bit."

"I just knew it would be like this, so I couldn't say it easily."

Sun Daqi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Things like favor can be quite heavy sometimes.

but……

"If you really can't play with it, you will still nag it. At the moment... the idea is not mature yet." "Yeah!"

Yang Qi did not ask further questions.

"If you have time, let me know, brother, and let's get together."

"Row!"

In the venue, not only Sun Daqi, Yang Qi and others were whispering, but other small groups were also chatting. During the break, the venue was still a bit noisy.

In a side hall dozens of meters away, Jin Shang found a slightly secluded corner to talk to Hao Qilian.

Sitting around the small table with two cups of tea, Hao Qilian put away the hardcover album signed by Jin Shang and sighed helplessly:

"Ever since my two little granddaughters found out that I know Yuan Xiu, they have been urging me to get autographs and ask for the inside story. You, a little boss, are not doing your job properly!"

"It made you laugh."

It’s not a big deal if you sign a few names.

"Do you want me to ask the other members..."

"Forget it! You probably don't know your reputation among little girls..."

"It's really not clear."

I have been a bit busy in the past month or two. In addition, I have just added a much younger brother. My parents are busy at home and they have to take care of Lao Jin's business. Even if Xiao Jin has three heads and six arms and a "golden finger" to protect him, he can't do anything for a day. There are only twenty-four hours at night, so there is no time to care about what the fans really think. The limit is to know the album sales.

"You...even my wife, who doesn't care about fashion, praised Yuan Xiu for his good looks and beautiful singing."

Love songs, especially very good, catchy, and down-to-earth love songs, are too targeted at the female market.

As for the member of the opposite sex next to Jin Shang, his girlfriend Li Xuan is relatively busy, and she has heard it many times, not to mention that it is boring and the novelty is gone. Huang Yiyi has also been exposed to it for a long time. The other cousins ​​are familiar with the stage name Yuan Xiu. His true identity is also well known.

As for those in the company who knew that their boss was playing in a band, they would not show it in public.

Therefore, Jin Shang does not know how popular he is among young girls. Especially that song "Don't Be Afraid of Me Being Sad", it simply wiped the flag of "Spare Tire Prince" too firmly, but many love-minded little girls like this song.

After the old man and the young man talked about the conversation, they turned to the main topic.

Hao Qilian asked seriously:

"Tell me the truth, how determined are you about the mobile local phone project?"

"Uh?"

Realizing that there was something wrong in the other party's words, Jin Shang thought about it for a moment before responding calmly,

"This is the most unconfident adventure I have taken since I started my business..."

"In other words, a huge investment?"

He is not very sure, but he is still so persistent, even if he takes huge risks, which is enough to prove that Jin Shang has extremely high expectations for PHS technology.

If there is not much gain, how can we take huge risks to promote a project that may overturn?

After carefully observing Jin Shang for a few times and seeing that he didn't seem to be telling lies, Hao Qilian realized what kind of expectations the young man in front of him had for a technique that everyone was not optimistic about.

After asking for more details, Hao Qilian lowered his voice and gave Jin Shang some details.

"You know, we are not a completely commercial company. Even after the split, we still have to bear certain social welfare responsibilities. Therefore, even if the prospects of PHS technology do not seem to be good, we have no intention of giving up completely, but we must Don’t promote the app, that’s another story.”

"Are there many competitors? Or...are there differences in disposal plans?"

"A total of seventeen entities have proposed roadmaps. Thirteen of them are obviously trying to make up the numbers, or they want to fish in troubled waters, establish projects, and raise funds. The purpose is unclear. The plans of the other three seem to have something in them, but in fact they are empty. Very, the "technical preparation period", "business promotion period" and other vain descriptions are enough to prove that the other party has no confidence at all, and lacks strength. If there are dates and no dates, it will be three poles. If there is an advantage, take advantage of it. ”

"Perhaps there are still people who join in intentionally, not to do things, but to cause trouble."

"Yes! PHS technology is indeed not very advanced, but its specific value is not easy to measure. Naturally, not many people are willing to take the risk and make a decision."

I really don’t see any future at the moment, but what if?

It would be too ugly to turn over old scores in a few years...or more than ten years.

"I tend to leave it to you. At least... you can really do something practical. Even if it fails, it will save us."

Speaking of internal disputes, Hao Qilian could not help but curl his lips.

“There are too many people putting forward ideas and too few people taking responsibility. It’s difficult to handle!”

"If I want to win the agency of China Mobile, what else do I need to pay?"

"You have said so much and you still persist. It seems that you really have an idea to do something."

Hao Qilian did not make any excessive demands, but asked directly,

"Regarding PHS technology, we don't see much value. You can see that it is your ability. However, I still want to understand your real purpose. It is not to steal your ideas, but to convince myself , to convince opponents.”

"I understand, thank you."

Jin Shang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this. Hao Qilian's meaning was obvious. It was not impossible to hand over mobile local calls to Jin Shang, but there must be a legitimate reason.

"The first is the issue of electronic communication technology standards. Today, 2G has not yet been fully promoted, and the details of the standards are still being revised. Not to mention 3G and 4G, which are still in the framework design and road map. As for even the shadow There is no 5G, haha..."

Seeing Jin Shang's perfunctory smile, Hao Qilian couldn't help but frown.

“Technical standards and the future?”

"Each generation of versions is a mature technology. Now that you have discovered it, you should dig into it. Others have gold and silver and look down on muck, mineral sand, and gypsum clay. I don't dislike it. There is always something to gain. What if If there is any hidden treasure, it will be a big profit.”

"Digging for treasure requires a lot of investment, so you have to think clearly."

"I'm willing to admit defeat. What's more, I can afford to lose. At worst, I can release a few more albums, open the business, hold concerts to make money to pay off debts, or write novels, sell characters and products, it's just bad money..."

Taking a deep breath, Jin Shang expressed his attitude very solemnly,

"Any problem that can be solved with money is easy to say. Now, what I need is a 'killer' besides money. I finally came across a good thing that I can't buy no matter how much money I usually spend. If I don't buy it, I'll wait until later. ?”
