Chapter 1200 Lao Ma’s Dinner
Mali Painting Materials was the first business that Lu Hui was responsible for after joining the new dream.
Malley Painting Materials has two brands of Marley and Green Bamboo, and its product line covers almost all painting-related products such as canvas, painting paper, pencils, pigments, etc.
Malley targets high-end, and Qingzhu is used for mid- and low-end.
In 2007, the two companies made a total profit of 350 million Huaxia coins and a net profit of 62.7 million Huaxia coins.
Although the overall business scale is not large, relying on the increasingly large scale of art training, relying on the new dream, it is developing very quickly. "Are you planning to acquire Sufeng's painting materials?" Xu Liang asked.
"Well. Sufeng has a certain market in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. If it can be acquired, it can increase our market share in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai." Lu Hui said.
"Do you want to occupy the national market through mergers and acquisitions?"
Lu Hui nodded, "Painting materials are a niche market, but the profits are very high, almost reaching 20%.
>
Therefore, over the years, many painting materials companies have appeared in China, but there are almost no national giants.
If we develop step by step, it will take a lot of energy.
It is better to directly acquire the merger and acquisition. Although it costs some money, it can quickly achieve our goal of covering the national market.
The key is that these medium-sized painting materials companies are generally not expensive.
Spend money to expand is the optimal solution. ”
"So your continuous mergers and acquisitions in the teaching aid industry is based on this principle?" Xu Liang said with a smile.
At the beginning, Lu Hui established Marley Textbook Company under Dream Future, mainly publishing various art books.
They soon acquired the "Quyi Line" which has a certain influence in the teaching and aid industry across the country.
When it comes to this name, most people may not have heard of it, but when it comes to its products, most people are well-known.
That is the "Five Years of College Entrance Examination Three Years Simulation", which is known as the ultimate nightmare for high school students.
After the acquisition was completed, Lu Hui merged Qu Yixian and Mali Textbooks into 'Dream Books'.
After nodding with certainty, Lu Hui continued: "The teaching aids under Xiaoxiong Books can enrich the product line of 'Dream Books'.
At the same time, it can also enhance our industry influence Li."
Xu Liang smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
The niche market such as teaching aids and painting materials, spending money to expand is indeed the best way for the "dream future" with strong capital.
比起画材和教辅，徐良还是更看好‘未来之家’业务。
很简单，每年的美术生最多也才一百来万，教辅材料的价格偏低，利润微薄。
相比之下，考公和考研的人数逐年增长，巅峰时更是过千万。
10 times that of art students.
再加上对各种考研资料的需求。
This is a larger market.
In more than two years, Dream Future Education Group has invested 16 billion Chinese currency in the four first-tier cities and six strong second-tier cities in the country.
10 'Future Houses' and 12 'Future Apartments' were built.
The former is equivalent to a university with a size 1, including accommodation, canteen, classroom, playground, gym and other facilities.
And different occupancy standards are proposed in a humanized manner.
You can enjoy different services by spending different money.
The top one is the independent apartment, one-on-one postgraduate entrance examination tutoring.
The monthly fee is 15,000, which is for people who are not short of money at home.
The most ordinary 1000, eight-person accommodation, self-study in large classrooms, and patrol by the class teacher.
In October last year, after the First Future Home withdrew from Haiden, this novel model was quickly tested by those who planned to sprint for the second time or take the civil service exam, and those who planned to retest after one or two years of graduation Or welcome to the public examination crowd.
The "Future Home" built according to the standard of 2,000 people has lived in just two or three months.
The success of the first future home gave Lu Hui great confidence.
16 billion Huaxia coins leverage 32 billion Huaxia coins, and the huge "Future Home and Apartment" project with a total construction area of 8.3 million square meters has finally seen the dawn of success.
"How much working capital has the company still in hand now?"
"If you don't count the financial account, Dream will still have 2.17 billion US dollars in the future."
Obviously, the revenue from selling shares in Xinmeng Education accounts for the majority of the money.
"Don't make a big move in the account for the time being."
Lu Hui, who had followed him for a long time, instantly understood, "Continue to expand the future home?"
Xu Liang After nodding, "During this period, you can send a few more investigation teams to various places to find out what is suitable for building a future home and apartment.
Strive to make the future home this year and next two years and double the size of the apartment.
But it’s still the same as before, only first-tier and second-tier cities are used, and third-tier cities are forgotten. ”
“I got it. But the money on the company's account may not be enough. ”
It is necessary to acquire teaching aid companies and painting materials companies to strive for a higher market share, and to repay bank loans to build the first batch of future homes and apartments.
And on the account There must be some money to deal with it? "If the New Dream holdings are reduced to 45%, the company can cash out about $1.2 billion, plus this money, enough to complete all the previous plan.
至于金融账户的钱，还要留着等美国的次债危机彻底爆发，强烈冲击各国股市后进场抄底，重新把新梦想的股权买回来。 "Xu Liang said.
Lu Hui: "How much money is there in the financial account now? "
"It's a little more than $4.2 billion, but if the follow-up plan goes well, there's more. ”
“这么多？ ”
吕慧惊讶道。
"Haha, there will be more in the future. So, you can plan the territory of Dream Future Education Group to a larger extent."
Lu Hui shook her head, "I can only think of these for the time being, and even for the moment, it is the current situation. If you plan these, it will take a lot of my time and energy to do it completely.
So if you give me more money, I can't use it."
See Looking at the woman in front of her, "You are more calmer than I thought."
"I was my secretary for you when I graduated from Renmin University. So, this is what you taught well." Lu Hui said with a smile.
"Your exquisite thoughts are becoming more and more popular. But the money in the financial account really needs to be planned carefully.
This way, take out half of the money and make a closed trust Funds, specializing in stocks of top domestic state-owned enterprises, overseas top companies, as well as low-risk targets such as government bonds.
No matter how much money it makes, the key is to maintain value and increase value.
Become' In addition to Dream Future Education Group, our family has another guarantee.
Even if the group cannot continue to open in the future, this trust can provide our descendants with the bottom line."
Lu Hui nodded, and she also understood the principle that the eggs were not placed in the same basket.
The so-called "closed trust fund" means that after the assets are put in, they cannot be redeemed within the specified period, and the fund shares can only be traded in the secondary market.
Of course, Xu Liang's is different from the common "closed-end trust funds" on the market.
The assets he put in, except for him, cannot be bought, sold or mortgaged under any circumstances unless certain conditions are met, and can only enjoy equity dividends and treasury interest.
The purpose is to prevent offspring from being too arrogant or being deceived, and end up like the ending of wealth in "Living".
Of course, the targets in the fund cannot be sold at all.
When the net value of the stock falls by more than 50%, or there is a significant loss, it can still be sold.
Although this will cause the fund to lose.
But with the support of dozens of marks inside, the overall situation is still safe.
The most important thing is that with this trust, as long as China does not collapse and state-owned enterprises are immortal, he and Lu Hui will be able to maintain wealth forever.
After the two briefly exchanged ideas and conditions for the "closed trust fund", Xu Liang also read the final content of the 2007 operating information of "Dream Education Group".
The group has three online websites.
There are ‘Good Future’, ‘K12’ and ‘Class Factory’ respectively.
The former targets online art education, needless to say, but the last one is online vocational education.
Compared with the former and the latter, K12 is aimed at primary and secondary school students, with the largest number of users and the fastest-growing one.
There are now nearly 30 million registered users.
The total number of registered users of the three websites exceeded 64 million.
In 2007, it received a total revenue of 370 million yuan. Because Pangu's cloud business was adopted, there was basically no large hardware investment, and the cost dropped significantly.
Although broadband spending is still high.
But it has barely maintained profitability.
Overall, the total revenue of "Dream Future Education Group" in 2007 was 7.75 billion Huaxia coins, an increase of 46% year-on-year; and its net profit was 1.39 billion Huaxia coins, an increase of 57% year-on-year.
The group's fixed assets are 46 billion Huaxia coins [not counting new dreams], and its net liabilities are 17.3 billion Huaxia coins [not counting new dreams].
Cash flow is US$2.17 billion [Not counting new dreams], financial accounts are US$4.2 billion.
Put down the information.
Xu Liang smiled and said, "The company is developing better and better under your leadership."
Lu Hui walked over and sat next to him, saying softly: "Without you, and without your financial support, I can't do it now."
"Don't underestimate yourself."
< br>After gently patting her shoulder, "Go to accompany me to a dinner tomorrow."
"Dinner?"
"Ali is on the market, Ma Yun is ready to celebrate well and invite I have been many times. As a major shareholder of Alibaba, I don’t know how to refuse.”
"Is it appropriate for me to go?"
The Xu family's open wife is Jiang Xiaoyang, who is in the capital, not her.
Looking at his expression, Xu Liang guessed what she thought and comforted her.
"This is Hangzhou City. In the future, our family will take root here. It is very necessary for you to get to know the local rich people and expand your network."
"Yes."
——
The next day, Xu Liang took Lu Hui, who was dressed up, to attend Ali's celebration dinner.
The banquet was held in a private club with pavilions and water pavilions. The lights were decorated on site, and more than 100 celebrities from the industry gathered together.
The organizer Alibaba also gave a name with a strong martial arts style - the Jiangnan Heroes Club, which was printed on the sign-in wall and on the stage.
When Xu Liang arrived, many guests and reporters had already arrived at the scene.
During the reporter's competition and chasing interview, Xu Liang signed the name on the sign-in wall and then walked towards the main stage.
"Mr. Xu, Alibaba's market value has now exceeded US$30 billion. Do you choose to continue holding or reduce holdings?"
"Mr. Xu, do you think China's next Alibaba Who is it? "
"Mr. Xu, what do you think about the current e-commerce market structure?" "
"Mr. Xu, what do you think about the competition between No. 1 Store and Alibaba? ”…
The reporters were like fanatical believers, chasing Xu Liang, asking questions while running.
Rows of plastic chairs are placed under the main stage. A man wearing a white suit and black sunglasses in the first row took off his sunglasses and looked at Xu Liangyang, who was surrounded by reporters. , whispered. "Unfortunate! Why did Lao Ma invite such a capital vulture? The Jiangnan heroes' club have been ruined by a rat shit."
The company I heard on the side The family and senior officials laughed, but no one answered.
They all knew that Shi Dazhu was so big that he was so big that he was the major shareholder of Alibaba, and he held higher shares than Ma Yun. Why couldn’t he come to the banquet?
Those who understand the grudges between Xu Liang and Shi Dazhu know that Shi Dazhu is venting his inner dissatisfaction.
At the bidding meeting of Huaxia Digital, Shi Dazhu was severely scolded by Yang Tingkun, criticized for not having entrepreneurial spirit and being full of frivolous people.
In public, someone was severely saved.
Although it was Yang Tingkun who spoke, Xu Liang was standing behind Yang Tingkun.
In addition to the long-term conflict between Chairman Tai Yue and Xu Liang, he naturally disliked the other party.
Of course, no matter how disliked he was and how big he was, he could only mumble a few words in a low voice.
The huge strength is poor. If it weren't for the special occasion today, he wouldn't even have the qualification to appear in front of Xu Liang. "Brother Xu, I've been looking forward to you for so long, and finally I've come to you."
Ma Yun was wearing a black Zhongshan outfit, dressed like a bodyguard in Zhongnanhai.
When he shook hands with Xu Liang, his waist was straight, his movements were capable, and he was as full as a trainer.
"The clothes are good, and they have a heroic style!"
When he heard Xu Liang praise him, Ma Yun's face was filled with joy. "Isn't my flower name Feng Qingyang? I ordered a few sets of ancient costumes and Zhongshan costumes for myself. I usually feel embarrassed to wear them. Today I feel that it's quite suitable, so I put them out."
Ma Yun laughed loudly and then his eyes turned.
"Miss Lu is here too, welcome."
Wearing a black and white women's jacket, a white turtleneck sweater, black pencil pants and black high heels on the lower body, her hair is high-tight, and she wears rose gold silk. Lu Hui, with glasses, is completely different from those women in the venue who wear long skirts and exquisite makeup in the cold weather.
She, who has been in a high position for a long time, naturally had a stern heroic spirit.
"Mr. Ma, congratulations."
"Haha, thank you."
Lu Hui, who has been secretary by Xu Liang for five years, certainly knew Ma Yun. "Lao Ma, in the future, Lu Hui will be stationed in Hangzhou and will be responsible for the management of Dream Future Education Group. If you have any questions, you can contact her." Xu Liang said with a smile.
Ma Yun is also a smart person. He knows the meaning of elegance when he hears the strings and songs.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小
The eyes swept over the two of them quickly and patted their chests and assured.
"Brother Xu, don't worry, on this acre of three-point land in Hangzhou, Alibaba is the closest partner of dreaming of the future."
"Thank you."
"We have this relationship, just say this I saw you. Let's go, I'll sit in front."
Ma Yun grabbed Xu Liang's hand with one hand and spread the other hand and made a "please" gesture.
Xu Liang was taken to the first row by Ma Yun and sat down. Looking around, he saw that he was full of familiar faces.
There are Shi Dazhu, Guo Kuangchang, Chen Tianqiao, Shen Guojun and others who are members of the Jiangnan Association with Ma Yun, as well as the bearded men Wu Ying, Niu Gensheng, Chen Dongsheng, Pan Shitou and others who have good personal friendship with Ma Yun.
Except for Shi Dazhu turning his face aside, the rest of the people greeted Xu Liang.
Even Guo Kuangchang, who joined the Taiyue Association, nodded to Xu Liang, and he was very particular about staying at the forefront of his life and meeting each other well in the future.
Wu Ying was the most eager and came over to have a few conversations.
Although the bearded man is a little bit bad in business, he really has a way of being a human being. He has friendship with any chamber of commerce and entrepreneurs. He does not interfere in any matters and will not offend anyone.
For a moment, it was a bit like the stars supporting the moon.
Ma Yun was envious in his eyes, but he knew that he couldn't envy him, at least not now.
Their wealth has a very high status in the global business and financial circles.
All the wealth of all the people who attended the meeting today is probably not as good as others.
It took not long to sit, and Ma Yun went on stage to start his speech.
Then, the staff carried a large jar of daughter Hong, with big red silk tied to the jar of wine, and two big red words "Celebrate the Merit".
With the witness of the media and guests, Ma Yun and the Eighteen Arhats buried this jar of celebration wine together.
Jack Ma also made a bold statement: "Wait until 1994 years later, and everyone who hopes to live a long life will drink this jar of century-old wine together!"
Xu Liang was so happy that he swept the ball of 100 years! The group of middle-aged people in their forties and fifties were glanced at by a group of middle-aged people in their forties and fifties.
Everyone present, only Lu Hui and others could have some chance of drinking.
It’s just 117 years old, and it’s not that no one lives to this age. In the future, he will focus on investing in biotechnology companies and find ways to extend human life span.
As for the others, the grass on the grave is several feet tall.
Ma Yun explained: "Alibaba was founded in 1999. The company's goal is to live for 102 years and live for 2100 years, spanning three centuries!
Ali has been born for more than 8 years now , there are still 94 years left before the minimum target. "
Hearing such bold words, the guests and the media have been applauding from the bottom of their hearts. Who said that China cannot have a great entrepreneur? Who said that China does not have Kazuo Inamori and Jack Welch?
Forehead!
No, they have surpassed Kazuo Inamori and Welch's genius!
Xu Liang applauded gently and looked at Ma Yun, whose face turned red due to excitement on the stage.
Recalling the other party's greed after transforming into capital in the next ten years, I secretly reminded myself in my heart that I must not inflate. I should keep in mind after me after me in mind!
Otherwise, Jack Ma's future may not be his.
After the grand celebration ceremony, Ma Yun stepped down and led a group of entrepreneurs to the quiet private room with a smile.
A round table that could sit for twenty or thirty people was filled with the VIPs attending today's banquet. Ma Yun sat above, looking at the starry lineup, very satisfied.
To his left is Xu Liang, the second richest person in Forbes, the world-recognized top financial master.
To his right are Guo Kuangchang and Pan Shitou, among the top ten Forbes Chinese Rich Rich List, with a net worth of 20 to 30 billion yuan.
Looking at such a spectacular circle of friends, Ma Yun couldn't help but joke:
"I see you all here now, it seems like you have seen a lot of money, which adds up to the annual GDP of a small country."
Pan Shitou smiled and said, "Old Ma, you are so modest !
After developing at this pace, the annual transaction volume of Alibaba platform may be comparable to the annual GDP of a big country, and it is possible to become the top ten or even top ten economies in the world.
In the future, when you go abroad, the commanders and prime ministers of all countries who want to do business with China will probably have to make friends with you. Ordinary businessmen will not be as glorious as you."
A word instantly touched Jack Horse itchy spot.
He immediately laughed heartily. No wonder Cao Dewang said that Pan Shitou and his wife were a wonderful person. They flattered so well, not stiff, and made people feel like spring breeze. "Brother Pan is overly praised. When it comes to expanding the platform's transaction volume, we really have a plan."
In front of the entrepreneurs present, Ma Yun began to recommend his new platform.
"At the end of last month, we launched the Alibaba Mama Online Advertising Platform, allowing advertising spaces to be sold like products, helping small and medium-sized websites make profits through advertising and create an open promotion and trading platform.
At present, Alibaba Mom has gathered more than 140,000 small and medium-sized websites and more than 185,000 personal blog sites, more than 1.3 million registered members, and the daily clicks of small and medium-sized websites covered by more than 900 million times.
Everyone, if you want to advertise in the future, you can come to our Ali Mom.
For example, Lao Pan, you can come to Alibaba’s mother to invest in real estate advertisements. Netizens can browse the Internet and browse several different websites in a row, and you can see your soho advertisements. ”
Pan Shitou smiled brightly, “It’s so good! Then you must come and invest in some advertisements. "
The others also started to make a fuss, all of whom said they wanted to come to Alibaba's mother to submit some milk advertisements, insurance advertisements, etc.
Shi Dazhu glanced at Xu Liang, who was silent and smiled: " Speaking of Ali's mother, Ma Yun still said it too general and too modest.
Let me introduce it to you more. This is the first time that the concept of "advertising is a commodity" has been introduced in the industry, allowing advertisements to be presented as commodities in the trading market for the first time, so that buyers and sellers can clearly see it.
If you have a website or blog and have administrative permissions, you can register for advertising space on Alibaba Mama's website;
If you are an advertiser, you can also Alibaba Mom chooses the advertising space that suits you to serve ads.
Compared with other Internet advertisements, Alibaba Mom is more transparent, and has good quality and low price, and is free and easy.
Giant Company has decided to invest 100 million to Alibaba's mother advertising platform. Recently, "Giant" has been stolen by some unscrupulous companies.
This time I only used 100 million to grab these snatched players back, and even rob their users.
Doing money alone is the stupidest thing to do in marketing! "
Xu Liang couldn't help but smile when he heard it.
This guy didn't like him, and he just expressed his dissatisfaction in a roundabout way.
The so-called big The mouth is just to provoke those people he can afford, and it is not really anyone who dares to provoke.
Ma Yun subconsciously glanced at Xu Liang. Seeing that he had no expression, he felt relieved and also felt a little dissatisfied with Shi Yuzhu.
Since he left Taiyue meeting last time, he has planned to draw a clear line with these people.
Shi Yuzhu was not invited to this party, and he didn't expect that he would come by himself after getting the news.
Afraid that he would say anything too much, Ma Yun subconsciously changed the subject.
But.
"In the entertainment industry, content is the key.
If you can't do well, no matter how good the promotion is, it will be useless.
"Giant" wants to win the likes of users and to succeed, it's better to put it in a good way. Take out the advertising fee for 100 million yuan to make content."
Lu Hui said calmly.
My own man is too lazy to pay attention to him.
But I have to protect the face of my own man.
Shi Yuzhu looked at the woman sitting next to Xu Liang with a cold face. Of course he knew the other party.
Former Secretary Xu Liang, now CEO of the largest education group in the country, is the CEO of the "Dream Future". Its subsidiary, "New Dream", is not only the first company for Xu Liang to start a business, but also an industry with a market value of over 10 billion US dollars. Giant.
This shows her status in Xu Liang's heart.
So, he didn't dare to go too far, "Mr. Lu, you are a person in the education industry and don't understand games, so don't say it."
Lu Hui smiled contemptuously, "Penguin Games has been established to become the top 10 game company in the world, and from the beginning to the beginning to becoming the world's number one, I participated in the whole process.
I have witnessed the development of the Chinese game industry, This industry lasts at least five years.
In contrast, it has only been three years since Shi Zong's Giant Network entered the game industry, and has not developed even a game with more than 200,000 people online at the same time. br>
Who do you think we understand better? "
Shi Yuzhu stared at the woman opposite, his face stretched out.
There is a saying: Don’t slap people in the face, and don’t reveal your shortcomings when scolding others.
He was completely warm in public.
But, I couldn't find a good way to fight back for a while.
Of course, if he broke up and scolded the other party’s mistress, he would definitely be able to break the opponent’s defense, but the consequence of doing so would be to completely anger Xu Liang.
When I think of the huge business empire worth hundreds of billions of dollars under the control of the other party.
He couldn't help but tremble.
Too powerful.
If the other party intends to short the giant, he can directly kill him.
It became hesitant for a moment.
Looking at his cowardly look, many people present despise him. Since you can't afford to provoke him, then do you still take the initiative to provoke him?
What's this?
As the master, Ma Yun didn't want to make a fuss too ugly, so he quickly started to smooth things over.
"Everyone, listen to me, today is me and Alibaba's big day. We rarely get together, so let's forget about work. Everyone eats and drinks, and take advantage of the rare opportunity to relax. It is the right thing to do. .”
Everyone said in agreement.
After the interruption, Shi Yuzhu and Lu Hui did not speak again.
The dinner ended one and a half hours later.
In the car home, Xu Liang held his woman's hand.
"It's good performance today, I'll reward you when I go home."
"It's not that I'm good at performing well, it's because he's too poor. If he doesn't have the strength, he has to run into it himself, and he's willing to be ridiculed by others. He deserves it."
"Haha, that's right. But depending on your performance today, I feel relieved.
By the way, I have called Lao Teng.
After a while, the New Dream Headquarters will be moved from the Magic City and you can clean up an office space for them. ”
“Really? "
Lu Hui said in surprise.
After she moved the headquarters of Dream Future Group to Hangzhou, New Dream, the group's largest subsidiary, did not move with her.
< br>
Many senior executives within the group disagree with his relocation plan.
She has little experience in the company and has not forced to move.
But Xu Liang took action, no one dared to object to the whole new dream.
Secretly nodded with a smile, Xu Liang said, "You have maintained your husband's face outside, of course I will reward you well."
"That's great."
>
Lu Hui held the man's arm, feeling full of joy.
After the New Dream Headquarters are moved, she can continue to penetrate her influence and truly turn this semi-independent subsidiary into a member of Dream Future Education Group.
On the contrary, if the other party has been in the Magic City, although the distance is not far.
But it will also make the other party more and more independent.
This is not the result she wants.
"There is one more thing. When Teng Huaming and the others come over, give him the position of the group COO.
I have to give him a sweet date if I give him a blow.
And he has the pressure to share the group management, You can also be more relaxed."
"Yes."
