Chen Qing was just speechless: "1000 million dollars, boss, that's too much, and you're not afraid that I will secretly stuff the money into your own pocket."

"That's a problem, then Lin will manage the accounts."

Chen Qing really wanted to pinch herself.

Seeing the regretful look of the girl, Simon said with a smile: "This is just the selection fee, and it can't just be dancing girls, but also hire choreographers and soundtracks to form a team. Do it well, it can be regarded as a test for you. "

Chen Qing agreed, and began to think about the top art schools in the country, and asked, "Boss, where do you put them after you pick them out?"

"Of course I brought it to America, otherwise how would I see it?"

Chen Qing curled her lips: "That's easy, but, boss, I need you to say hello to me about the visa. It would be even better if I could have a green card."

At present, the tide of going abroad has not stopped in China, and a single American green card is enough for too many people to go forward and succeed at all costs.

Not to mention serving Simon Westeros.

Simon also knew what Chen Qing was thinking, and said, "These are not problems, just go and discuss with A."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Su couldn't help but slander.

asshole.

Chen Qing discussed with the man for a while, and finally talked about the serious business of coming here: "Boss, have you read my plan to establish a computer company in China, what do you think?"

Simon shook his head and said, "Not much."

Chen Qing hummed and waited patiently for the man to continue.

Chapter 869 Really Good Business (Repair)

All the projects Chen Qing was in charge of were on the right track, and he just took advantage of Eaglet’s IPO opportunity to make a fortune. Recently, he began to look for new investments, and quickly selected the fast-growing PC market in China, and carefully prepared a The business plan was handed over to Simon.

In the year 1995 that is about to pass, manufacturers of computer core components such as processors and memory have continuously lowered their prices substantially, and memory price crashes such as the "Scroll Shock" have also occurred. The support for the information industry has generally increased, and the combination of various factors has promoted a major explosion in PC sales worldwide.

In the past few years, the annual growth rate of global PC sales has been maintained at around 30%. In the first 1995 months of 10, the global PC shipments have reached 7950 million units. It is estimated that in the whole year of 1995, the world The total PC shipments are expected to be between 9500 million and 1 million units, an annual growth rate of more than 1994% compared with the total global shipments of 5405 million units in 75.

On the other side of the ocean, there is a Chinese market with a population base of 10 billion. Because of the series of heavy support policies launched by the Chinese government to promote the development of the information industry, as of the end of October, China's PC shipments reached 10 million units, which is close to the whole year of 270. It is estimated that in the whole year of 1994, China's PC shipments are expected to reach 70 million units.

An obvious outlet for the industry.

Chen Qing has no ambitions for the PC market in North America and Europe, knowing that she can't get in, but in China, the girl thinks she can give it a try.

The four daughters Chen Qing, Lin Su, Emmanuel Brandt and Charlotte Brienita are going to China together this time, mainly for other affairs in Backgammon, Scooper, Shuanghui, etc. One is to take Brittany to conduct a market inspection.On the way to San Francisco for a pause, on the one hand to pick up Emmanuel, and on the other hand, Chen Qing wanted to ask Simon what he thought of his business plan.

Hearing that Simon said that her plan was not very good, Chen Qing was not disappointed, and patiently waited for the man to continue.

Simon recalled the business plan and related materials that Chen Qing handed over to him, and said: "The direction was wrong at the beginning. The result of your research is that at least half of China's PC sales this year are supported by policies to promote informatization. The developing government departments, schools and state-owned enterprises want to use this part of the market as a breakthrough, but have you considered the threshold of this part of the business, I mean, the hidden threshold?"

Government procurement has always been the best business, but it has never been an easy business.

Chen Qing nodded her head: "Boss, I know."

Simon glanced at the black eyes of the woman in his arms, and thought about her personality. It is really not too difficult to do this kind of thing. The girl has already found a team in advance, and they are basically poached from local Chinese companies. The backbone of the department.China's computer industry began to develop in the 80s. These people worked together, and they must be proficient in any aspect.

Smiling and smacking the girl somewhere, Simon said: "Well, I believe you can do well, but if you just want to make quick money, it's okay to do so. If you want to be really long-term, you have to put aside The idea of ​​taking a shortcut."

Chen Qing blinked this time, slightly confused.

Simon said: "A small question for you, just name a few Fortune 500 companies in the United States."

Chen Qing blurted out without thinking: "General Motors, Ford Motor, Wal-Mart, Exxon Mobil, AT;T, General Electric, IBM, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae... well, of course there is Daenerys, Ygret, if it weren't for the secrecy of financial data, Cersei Capital would certainly be one of them."

"So, can you find a common denominator among, not all of them, but certainly most of them?"

Chen Qing thought for a moment, then began to rub on Simon's body and act like a baby: "Boss, what is it?"

Simon held down the mischievous girl and turned to Lin Su on the other side: "What about you, Chen Qing always said that you study hard, have you thought about it?"

In fact, Lin Su, who had been silently listening to the conversation between the two, could only shake his head.

The three of them kept talking in Chinese, and the other girls lying on the bed were even more confused, but they all pretended to listen carefully.

The two women didn't expect it, so Simon had to reveal the answer and said: "Companies such as General Motors, Exxon Mobil, AT;T, etc., have one thing in common, they are all aimed at the general public with the largest consumption base, because Almost everyone has a need for their products, and they can’t even do without their products, so these companies can become giants. Therefore, in my opinion, the best business is the business that can be open to everyone. PC In fact, it is also the same. In China, personal computers may still be a luxury product, but with a consumption base of 10 billion people in China, the economic accumulation over the years, the potential consumer group is actually not small at all, and it will only become larger in the future. Therefore, Chen , do you know where you went wrong?"

Chen Qing nodded, and couldn't help but said: "Boss, in fact, fighting for government procurement is just an entry point, and I will definitely not let go of the ordinary consumer market in the future."

Simon shook his head and said: "According to the information you provided me, there are 5 PC manufacturers in China with a market share of more than 8% at this stage, and there are more than 30 PC manufacturers worldwide who have begun to pay attention to exploring the Chinese market. If you want to cover everything, will you agree with manufacturers who have considered that these technologies, funds, and connections are no worse than yours? Chen, don’t take anyone for a fool. China’s PC field seems to be a blue ocean market with huge potential. In fact, with the level of competition in the current market capacity, this is actually a very tragic Red Sea market. In addition, this is a very capital-intensive industry that burns money, just like AST and Lenovo, which are currently the top two in China's market share, Due to factors such as the memory price crash this year leading to inventory backlogs, one of the two companies is expected to lose US$9700 million and the other HK$1.9 million. So, how much do you plan to burn? Or, you can 100% assure me that you can do it Well, if you dare to promise and do it, I will give you as much investment as you want."

Chen Qing finally fell silent.

Simon said: "Also, the second question in the plan you gave is that you want to imitate Dell's low-price direct sales strategy. This seems to be a good idea. It seems that the plan is very Perfect. But first of all, do you think government procurement will care about price?"

Chen Qing nodded and shook her head.

The girl actually felt that she was right. What she wanted to imitate was Dell's direct sales strategy, and the low price was not a problem. However, this low price was the low price of the manufacturing cost, not when it was sold.

It's just that these twists and turns are not suitable for talking too clearly with your boss.

Simon actually saw through the girl's mind, and also didn't have any deep meaning, and said: "In short, I will not agree to your plan. If you want to do it, you can use the money you earn, or you can do it yourself. Pull investment, take responsibility for profits and losses.”

When the man said that, Chen Qing was a little anxious this time. She had never thought about getting rid of the man beside her, so she slapped Simon again and began to act like a baby: "Boss, I know I was wrong. According to your thinking, Shall I revise it again?"

Lin Su on the other side heard Chen Qing's tired voice, and had the idea of ​​running away again.

It's so meaty.

Simon also gave the girl a note again, but he let go: "The plan is completely redone, two suggestions: first, don't ask for big, start small, invest a small amount of money first, lock the market in a province, lock the consumer group, It is best to only seriously develop one series, and copy Dell’s low-price strategy according to the specific conditions of the Chinese market, which can save costs and reduce risks to the greatest extent. Second, being a price butcher is absolutely key. Keep prices to a minimum, Within the range of consumer groups in a province, all other brands, even the lowest-cost builder manufacturers, have no profit margins, because your scale is small, and on your cost line, other slightly larger competitors will definitely lose money Yes, you have to take the initiative to withdraw, and then you win. After a province is successful, this model can be quickly replicated. It depends on your ability to make it to the end, or you can't survive it yourself."

Chen Qing imagined a scene depicted by the man, her eyes lit up, but she quickly asked again: "But, boss, how can we make money like this?"

Simon said: "Before the company grows, don't think about making money, even if it keeps losing a little, it's okay. If the company grows to the top of the industry and you haven't thought about how to make money, that's your problem."

Chen Qing nodded in approval, and suddenly felt that a certain guy was a big gold mine, so she continued to dig: "Boss, tell me more?"

Simon thought for a while and said: "Actually, the key to the success of this plan is whether you can minimize the cost. When Tinkber's iCam was just launched a few years ago, because of insufficient production capacity, you know they are How did you do it?"

"Over at Columbia University, Lin and I happened to study this case some time ago, hunger marketing. But, does it have any effect on lowering PC costs?"

"Think again."

"Uh, oh, is it... a time difference? The price of PC components changes very quickly, maybe it will be another price in a month or a week?"

Simon nodded: "Yes, if you can make good use of this time difference, such as adopting a pre-sale strategy for the reason of insufficient production capacity, you can gain part of the cost advantage again, and another advantage of hunger marketing is that it can continue to attract consumers. After all, you can’t get the best. Of course, this is only one aspect. You will also face costs in manpower, marketing, warehousing and other aspects. These need to be extreme. If you can’t do these If you act rashly as a price butcher, you will only go out of business first.”

Chen Qing wrote them down one by one, and discussed with Simon for a while before gently stroking the man's chest with her little hand: "Boss, if we start small, because the purchase volume is relatively small, we will not have any bargaining advantage. Intel, or Microsoft By the way, can you say hello?"

Simon couldn't help pinching Chen Qing's face again: "Do you think my face is so worthless?"

"Ah... no, oh, I was wrong."

Simon let go of his hand and said, "I won't say hello to you. You can talk to the person in charge of their China region yourself."

Chen Qing understood that the boss was tacitly acquiescing that she could pretend to be arrogant, so she quickly changed her smiling face and nodded.

It's just a small thing, and Simon certainly doesn't mind.

He is never stingy when he can support his subordinates.

After all, there are very few people who really have nothing to rely on to start from scratch, just like in the early days of Microsoft's development, Bill Gates' first big business was also drawn from Big Blue by her mother, who was an IBM director.

They just came to visit Simon temporarily, and the private plane was still waiting at the airport. The four girls stayed at the mountain villa in Woodside for less than an hour before leaving.

When the Gulfstream V took off from San Francisco International Airport, it was just over two o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday, November 11.

It is estimated that after about 12 hours of flight, plus the time difference, I will arrive in China. It will be around [-]:[-] pm on Sunday, and I will have a rest for one night, just in time to start a new week of work.

Until the Gulfstream V flew smoothly in the stratosphere, Emmanuel Brandt still had the erotic scene he saw at the Woodside mountain villa in his mind.

Taking a glass of red wine from the small bar in the cabin, Emmanuel came to the front cabin with the glass in his hands. Chen Qing and Charlotte Brenita were sitting and talking, and the table in front of Chen Qing was still placed A laptop, banging away from time to time.Sitting down next to Chen Qing, Emmanuel said in a casual tone: "What do you think the big boss is doing now?"

Certain topics women talk about in private are actually very dirty.

However, Emmanuel excitedly raised the topic, and neither Chen Qing nor Brenita seemed interested.

The main reason is that they have been more or less close to each other, and both women know that a certain man likes the eye-catching scene surrounded by vases.However, when it comes to matters between men and women, they are not indulgent at all, but very restrained.Some time ago, Charlotte Brenita was almost delivered to her door. As a result, after staying in Ukraine for a few days, and even leaving Ukraine with Simon's tailwind, the man never had anything to do with her.Chen Qing has a deep understanding of this point.

If the man was really impatient, what the four girls saw when they rushed to the Woodside mountain villa was probably not a scene of a man watching a solo ballet.

Chen Qing fluttered her fingertips on the keyboard, skillfully modifying the business plan of the computer company directly in English, and said to Emmanuel with a smile: "Emanuel, I advise you not to notice the boss, you also I see, the boss is surrounded by so many women that he can't even remember their names, no matter how beautiful you are, perhaps, in the impression of the boss, it is probably, oh, the red-haired one."

Emmanuel Brandt was distracted by Chen Qing, she poked Chen Qing a little shyly, and countered: "Are you the one with black hair?"

Chen Qing shrugged: "Yes, I'm the one with black hair," she said, and motioned to Lin Su who was leaning on the sofa reading a book on the other side of the aisle: "There's another one with black hair over there."

Lin Su turned a page of the MBA case materials in his hand, without squinting his eyes, he said, "Don't take me with you."

Chen Qing smiled, remembering the scene when they were by Simon's side together.

If she knew a certain vocabulary, she would definitely be able to apply it to Lin Su precisely.She said no, but in fact, among the two, Lin Su was the one who had real feelings for a certain man, but it was obvious that this kind of feeling was destined to have no results.

Chapter 870 Theme Song

Mountain House in Woodside.

After Chen Qing and the others left, Simon sent away Yulia Antonenko, who seemed restrained and inferior because she didn't fit in with the girls around her, and patted the edge of the king-size bed to call the other three girls on the lawn: "All Come to the bowl and take a nap with me."

The three daughters of Eva Herzigova, who failed to grab a seat at first, got up laughing and jumped onto the bed together.

Counting Simon, the bowl-like oval bed was packed to the brim with eight people.After Yulia left, six of the remaining seven girls were Victoria's Secret Angels, so the last one seemed a bit out of place.

Fernanda Lima, Tricia Schiffer, and Karen Mulder on the right side of Simon don't understand why the man sent Antonenko away, but left another one behind, which didn't prevent them from being in harmony The girl named Melania was squeezed to the very edge.Realizing that Simon did not show a partial and protective attitude, it would be even more burdensome to do so. Karen Mulder, who happened to be next to Melania, also deliberately showed a disgusted attitude, occasionally reminding her to push back , to warn the other party not to touch themselves.

Even though it is inevitable to intrigue for various resources on weekdays, the six Victoria's Secret angels are in a circle lying on the bed at this time, and outsiders are not allowed to steal the limelight.

On the other side, Heidi Klum, who was also the most junior, was also pushed to the edge. Eva Herzigova put her arms around Daniela Pusteva and half-pressed on her body, looking at the man, looking for something to say : "Simon, did you sing a Chinese song just now? It's really nice."

Simon let Daniela Pusteva, who was leaning sideways to face him, twist the top button of his shirt and unbuttoned it, then unbuttoned it again, and nodded with a smile: "Yes."

Fernanda Lima, who was leaning on Simon on the right, said: "I think it's more like a poem. Although I don't understand what it means, it should be, um..." Speaking of this, it took about a while. I couldn't find a suitable adjective from my English inventory, so I changed my mother tongue and said in Portuguese: "It's kind of sad."

Simon just smiled.

Eva Herzigova saw that Fernanda had changed her mother tongue. Of course she couldn't understand, but she was curious about something and asked, "Simon, how many languages ​​do you know?"

"I haven't calculated it, and most of them just say something."

Eva Herzigova blinked: "What about Czech?"

Both Herzigova and Pusteva are from the Czech Republic.

Simon shook his head: "This really won't happen."

The Czech language is also developed from the ancient Slavic language, which is basically the case in a large number of small countries in Eastern Europe. However, if the difference between Russian and Ukrainian is Mandarin and Tianjin dialect, then the gap between Russian and Czech is the gap between Mandarin and Wenzhou dialect.Simon's mind carries a huge amount of memory information of more than a dozen people, but the Czech Republic is too small, and the Czech language cannot be said to be popular.

Seeing that the man said no, Eva Herzigova said enthusiastically, "Simon, why don't I teach you."

Simon agreed: "Okay, let's start now."

Eva Herzigova looked around, and suddenly remembered Daniela Pusteva who was under her body. She turned her green eyes and touched Pusteva's delicate body slightly: "First Is it okay to use human body nouns?"

Seeing Eva's fingertips pointing at Daniela's nose, Simon nodded and shook his head again: "Mr. Eva, I want to learn from the neck down."

"no problem."

After being played around by Eva, Daniela finally began to 'revolt', smiling and twisting her body: "Damn it, I'm not your teaching model."

"Then you go to the back, I will do it myself."

"Don't think about it."

"It seems that I can only use strength."

"Um...ah, hahaha, Simon, help me."

After playing around like this, I felt that the man was in a very good mood, and Eva, who put Daniela's uniform on her body again, said, "Simon, investment in new technology fields is becoming more and more popular in Silicon Valley, can you help us also?" Introduce some projects, you know, it’s best to be like the IG that Yasmin and the others invested in."

When Eva spoke, the other girls fell silent, pricking up their ears and waiting for the man's response.

This was discussed in advance.

I received an invitation yesterday to spend the weekend with Westeros. On the private plane from New York, a few girls occasionally chatted about the current Silicon Valley and Yasmine Gary, who has retired and can enjoy life. It is inevitable that I will be moved .

The six Victoria's Secret Angels are now considered to be at the top of the modeling industry pyramid. However, under the glamor, many things are not as glamorous as outsiders imagined. Ordinary people only see them walking around on the stage and seem to be able to make money. To get a large amount of remuneration, but do not know that every fashion season, the girls may have to sleep only three or four hours a day, and the income is far less than outsiders imagined.

Now Waist Jing and Leg Jing's investment in Instagram is simply a legend in the circle.

A mere $20 was eventually rewarded hundreds of times, and his cumulative net worth was hundreds of millions of dollars. Even if he left Simon Westeros in the future, he would have no worries about food and clothing in this life.

In comparison, although Eva Herzigova and the others are already in their early years, of course they earn much more than ordinary people, but they also spend a lot of money. If they don't plan carefully now, or find a rich husband to marry themselves, once they pass The situation is often very bleak, and it is not uncommon for people to live on the streets.
