Chapter 661: Take the blame
What you plan for is determined by God. For the Torch Group, Li Dongling has already attracted many supporters.
If we can win the support of traditional tobacco companies in the future, Torch Group's Ruyan should be able to be sold throughout America and Europe.
By then, the Torch Group will basically have a foundation to settle down, with two basic products: lighters and e-cigarettes. The Torch Group's revenue will soar.
Next year, Torch Group will basically launch two brands: Zorro metal lighters and Ruyan e-cigarettes.
In the first half of the year, Zorro will open stores in America, Old Europe and other places to establish sales channels. In the second half of the year, it will use these channels to sell Ruyan e-cigarettes.
At that time, Torch Group can start to truly make a profit, transform into a stable money printing machine, and begin to continuously bring profits to Tanglin Hi-Tech!
Tanglin High-tech has invested in many companies, including Torch Group and Focus Media, and it is certainly not just for throwing money.
But we have to wait until we develop companies like Torch Group before we can bring rewards to Dongling Hi-Tech. Just like in a certain mobile game, development always takes time before we can get rewards!
……
The next day, Li Dongling and Yao Luoying were preparing to pack their things. This trip took a lot of time. New Year's Day had already passed inland and the New Year was approaching.
Preparations have already begun for Dongling Hi-Tech's annual meeting. In a few days, Oriental Times Mall will begin its first trial operation, and Li Dongling also needs to rush back.
After this trip, the goal has been basically achieved. Feiyan Technology has been launched on the market, and the stargazing digital video recorder is about to be mass-produced. A seed has been planted for Microsoft. It depends on when it will sprout. Microsoft cannot help but Want to buy a digital video recorder project!
At noon, outside the villa where Li Dongling and Yao Luoying were staying, a figure who had traveled from Seattle also appeared.
"Come in!"
After a security check on Tang Jun, a short-haired security guard pushed open the villa door.
"Mr. Li!"
"Mr. Yao!"
Entering the villa, Tang Jun saw several figures sitting in the living room of the villa. He took the lead in shouting to Li Dongling and Yao Luoying that Tang Jun had done some homework before coming.
"Nice to meet you. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Tang!"
Yao Luoying smiled at Tang Jun, and when she asked Tang Jun to sit down, she also looked Tang Jun up and down, wondering why Li Dongling chose him to be the head of Himalaya Radio.
“Don’t dare take it!”
When facing the leader of Feiyan Technology, which has a market value of US$2.5 billion, Tang Jun showed a very respectful attitude. At this time, he had not yet reached the level of a working emperor.
Sitting in the living room, Dongling Hi-Tech North America President Zhou Hualiang, Feiyan Technology's technical manager Fu Cheng, and Himalayan Radio's technical director Lu Kui and others also briefly introduced each other to Tang Jun.
When they heard that Tang Jun was from Microsoft, Zhou Hualiang, Fu Cheng, Lu Kui and others couldn't help but guess why Li Dongling asked Tang Jun to come over.
"What do you think of Himalayan Radio?"
As soon as Yao Luoying opened her mouth, she asked straight to the point. The headhunting company had already contacted Tang Jun, so he should have been mentally prepared.
Zhou Hualiang, Fu Cheng and others heard some overtones from Yao Luoying's words. Zhou Hualiang glanced at Yao Luoying, and then at Li Dongling who was sitting there, drinking tea. He couldn't help but think of the previous internal affairs of Feiyan Technology. Some rumors made him slightly surprised.
"Himalaya Radio has created a miracle in the Internet industry!"
Tang Jun thought about it and said, first he praised Himalayan Radio, and then continued, "I think that users of Himalayan Radio will continue to explode in the future!
According to the current scale of the Internet in America and the speed of Internet development around the world, perhaps Himalayan Radio has just begun. ”
Tang Jun expressed his judgment and threatened that Ximalaya Radio has just begun. This also means that the market value of Ximalaya users will continue to double in the future!
Li Dongling glanced at Tang Jun. Judging from his eyes alone, Tang Jun's vision was indeed outstanding.
Now there are many voices in America who believe that the stock prices of Internet companies such as Feiyan Technology, Yahoo, and Netscape have risen too fast, and they are worried about the future.
But Tang Jun threatened that the Internet has just begun. From this point of view, Tang Jun's vision is far better than those people.
"If you were asked to be the general manager of Himalayan Radio, what would you do?"
Li Dongling suddenly spoke. As soon as these words came out, Tang Jun tried hard to stay calm, but his heart was beating wildly.
What is Feiyan Technology? It is now one of the focuses of the Internet and even the technology industry. Being able to serve as the general manager of Himalaya Radio means that you have become a powerful figure in the American technology industry!
If he can really become this general manager, who will be in the same position as Tang Jun? Netscape’s digital hero Marc Andreessen, Silicon Valley tycoon Jim Clark, and Yahoo’s Yang Zhiyuan and many other figures. This position is comparable to Tang Jun would be much better off if he stayed at Microsoft and became a transparent person!
Zhou Hualiang, Fu Cheng and others couldn't help but turn their attention to Tang Jun. After taking several deep breaths, Tang Jun calmed himself down.
"Himalaya Radio needs to continue to produce more ace programs like Jolly Kings, and it must continue to increase its popularity and let more users know about Himalayan Radio!
In addition, Himalayan Radio also needs to build its own distribution channels and start to invest in or acquire some radio stations, so that more home radio users and car radio users can hear the sound of Himalayan Radio!
In the future, radio users in America will listen to Himalayan Radio programs, not other sounds! ”
"Papa"
There was a sound in the villa, and Li Dongling applauded Tang Jun.
Not to mention what Ximalaya Radio will become in the mobile Internet era, but in the computer Internet era, what Tang Jun said is the path that is most suitable for Himalayan Radio.
Himalaya Radio is very special. It is true that it is an Internet company, but a large part of its current users are users of offline radios and car radios.
If it just blindly attracts Internet users, it is impossible for Himalayan Radio to have the influence it has now.
The biggest difference between Himalaya Radio and other Internet companies is that it has really impacted the real world from the Internet world!
In addition, Tang Jun also said that the biggest feature of the Internet era is hype, cultivating top podcasters, and then desperately publicizing to increase visibility. With visibility, the stock price will increase.
Li Dongling and Yao Luoying looked at each other, and then Li Dongling looked at Tang Jun, "So, are you willing to take over the position of general manager of Himalayan Radio?"
When he heard Li Dongling say these words, Tang Jun's breathing suddenly became heavy, and the expressions of Zhou Hualiang, Fu Cheng, Lu Kui and others also changed slightly.
"I do!"
Tang Jun took a deep breath and said it without hesitation.
What kind of bullshit is he? He became the president of Microsoft Shanghai Technology Center. How many people knew how much power Microsoft could give him?
When he became the general manager of Himalaya Radio, Tang Jun suddenly became a famous professional manager in Silicon Valley and a powerful figure in the Internet industry. His fame has become much greater.
"Himalaya Radio can offer you an annual salary of US$150,000!"
Yao Luoying said, "In addition, if you can make Ximalaya's users and performance meet the standards, Feiyan Technology's board of directors will reward you with corresponding equity rewards!"
The annual salary offered to Tang Jun by Feiyan Technology can only be regarded as quite satisfactory in the circle of American professional managers. The key is the equity reward, and there is something to be said for it.
If he can get a portion of stock options every year in the future, Tang Jun's salary may soar from hundreds of thousands of dollars to more than a million dollars!
"Feiyan Technology will be divided into two parts in the future. One part is the hardware business, including mini radios, car radios, car audio equipment, etc., which will be managed by Lao Fu Qian.
This year, the board of directors of Feiyan Technology will nominate you as the general manager at the year-end meeting. From now on, you will take over the hardware business of Feiyan Technology! ”
Yao Luoying looked at Fu Cheng and then continued, "The other part is the Internet business of Himalayan Radio, which is managed by Tang Jun. This year the board of directors will nominate you as the deputy general manager of Feiyan Technology and the general manager of Himalayan Radio!"
"From now on, Feiyan Technology will be managed by Lao Fu, you and Tang Jun. I will submit my resignation as general manager at this year's Feiyan Technology board meeting!"
Yao Luoying told Zhou Hualiang, Fu Cheng, Lu Kui and others what she had decided long ago.
This news was really a big shock to Fu Cheng and others, although Feiyan Technology had faintly reported that Yao Luoying was resigning as general manager before.
But in the past, these news were regarded as groundless rumors. After all, where is Yao Luoying's identity? With Dongling Hi-Tech as the major shareholder, who dares to let Yao Luoying leave?
Unexpectedly, Yao Luoying said it herself today that she was determined to leave Feiyan Technology. This also meant that Yao Luoying would no longer work in companies such as Dongling High-Tech.
After the explanation, Yao Luoying left calmly. This was a decision she had made long ago, so naturally there would be no hesitation.
Even if her career ends at this moment, Yao Luoying's career is already impressive enough. As a female professional manager, she led Feiyan Technology to go public. She has set numerous new records for female professional managers!
Once this decision is made, there will be no rumors about future power struggles between the founding couple in Tanglin Hi-tech.
Of course, on the other hand, Yao Luoying's withdrawal also showed her attitude and cleared the obstacles for her to marry someone Li.
Li Dongling looked at Yao Luoying's figure. He didn't know what he thought of, and his expression moved slightly.
