Chapter 891 The sense of urgency after the luxurious annual meeting
January 20th is already the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, and there is less than a week before the Spring Festival.
"Damn, you guys made this look yourself? It's so fucking exaggerated!"
"Hahaha, boss, can you be more elegant? This is called fashion, technology, and mystery. By the way, do you still have some time to practice dancing? I can't let Brother Ma compare you."
It is indeed quite technological, but the exaggerated look still makes Tan Jincheng swear. This is the first time he has seen his look, and he said he has to keep it secret before.
A silver suit that is all scaly, paired with a silver hat and mask, is Boss Tan’s first appearance at the Wei’s annual meeting tonight.
Compared to the Tengxun Annual Meeting that was popular on the Internet last week, Xiao Ma's style was wearing a black leather jacket and sunglasses, she was so exaggerated no matter how she looked at it.
"That's hard to say. They are senior executive groups and sing and dancing. I am the only one who debuted on this show, so how can I compare to them."
What is the hottest at the end of the year? It is naturally the annual meetings of various companies. Last Friday, Brother Ma took Zhang Xiaolong, Liu Chiping and other "Tengxun BOYS" from the chivalrous and tender swords, to the chic and handsome love-breaking front alliance, from the legend of hungry wolf to the ignited to the explosive BANGBANGBANG.
At an annual meeting, several old BABYs from Tengxun attracted a lot of attention.
If you want to talk about the annual meeting, it really has to be in the Internet industry.
However, it has to be said that at a time when competition is becoming increasingly fierce, executives have become an important way of corporate marketing and publicity.
Weilai here Tan Jincheng also paid great attention to creating the image of executives on the Internet. He can't just come out alone for everything. A hero still needs a few helpers.
For this purpose, Boss Tan also specially hired public relations companies to provide training for major executives of the company to help them design Internet personality designs.
CEO Zhang Yong looks stupid and speaks unfast, so he specially designed a "honest person" character for him. Of course, this honest person is different from the honest person you imagine.
Hu Zhengnan, the new director of the institute, is a technical tycoon. He is sharing some topics such as technical and various tests on the Internet. From time to time, he also answers some questions from netizens and car owners on the Weilai APP and other social networking websites.
Li Xiang's image is to dare to speak and do it. There are some competitors who are not convenient for Tan Jincheng to attack, and he will stand up for Boss Tan's yin and yang.
However, not all executives have such requirements. Tan Jincheng will not force them to appear on social media often, and not everyone is suitable for the Internet.
Some people are better off maintaining a certain sense of mystery. In addition, they are already difficult to change their thinking patterns when they are older. In addition, they have been in important positions in the system for a long time, but it is actually difficult for them to cope with the changes in the Internet social model.
It’s nothing to post on Weibo occasionally, so it’s very likely that they can be counterproductive when they keep interacting with each other with high intensity.
"What are you afraid of? They sing and you dance. Besides, when it comes to the popularity of the Internet, will you be worse than them? It's better to beat them."
The person responsible for styling and choreography of Tan Jincheng was a young employee. During the annual meeting, Boss Tan would take an hour every day to cooperate with dancing.
After being in touch for a long time, I lost some mystery and my way of speaking became much easier. Today is the last rehearsal before the annual meeting, and everyone is relatively relaxed.
However, in the heart of this young employee, the boss is definitely not inferior to the Internet tycoon, and the big guys in the car circle are even more incomparable to him. Compared to them, his boss is much more interesting.
Let’s see what activities are organized by other car companies’ annual meetings? Guess riddles and write Spring Festival couplets? You think it's the Spring Festival Gala, are you funny?
"Okay, stop being boring. If you practice for a while, you will have to go on stage at night. If you are too embarrassed, you will be deducted your salary."
In recent years, Weilai has rarely organized large-scale annual meetings with such gimmicks. There are too many employees and it is troublesome to organize them. Every year, major regions organize their own meals, employees perform, etc.
For employees, the most important thing about the New Year is whether the bonus is rich enough. As long as the bonus is given enough, other forms will not be so important.
However, this year is still different. In the ninth year of Weilai's establishment, sales have completed a breakthrough from zero to 900,000 vehicles. Yuechi A1 has won countless honors this year, dominating the list in various ways, earning a lot of popularity.
A year of fame and fortune gains both fame and fortune, I have to celebrate it no matter what. This is what the company is like.
The annual meeting will be held tonight, which is roughly one week later than Internet companies, but compared with physical companies, this time is just right.
After the annual meeting is over, you can almost have an annual holiday after receiving the prizes and bonuses.
At night, when Tan Jincheng came to the backstage, he couldn't help but laugh when he saw executives in strange costumes.
"You can imagine that everyone's outfits are quite exaggerated, but it's still funny how to look at it together. Haha, come on, let's learn to learn from Brother Xiaoma and post it online."
For Weilai, the 2016 annual meeting is a summary of the fuel vehicle era. In the future, the company's internal focus will be completely biased towards the new energy sector.
Zhang Yong, Yu Liguo, Hu Zhengnan, Thomas, Li Xiang, Zhang Li and Zhao Xinyi, who rushed back from Zhucheng City, made a show. Zhang Yong, Hu Zhengnan, Li Xiang and others all arranged a show.
The party has been preparing for the first time last month. In addition to the executives who came on stage to play with monkeys, there are many handsome men and beautiful women, such as programs selected by internal employees and celebrity performers invited.
"Haha, when we post this image online, everyone will think we are cosplay."
"I'm so old that I have to play with you young people."
Yu Liguo smiled bitterly. His outfit was somewhat similar to the four talents in Tang Bohu's Autumn Xiangxiang. He performed an exaggerated drama on stage, and he felt quite ashamed during the rehearsal.
"Haha, don't think so much today. We're just relaxing and having fun together. How to be happy."
In addition to the senior executives of Weilai headquarters, senior executives of subsidiaries such as Lotus, Yangzi Automobile, Huanghai Automobile and other companies have all participated in the Weilai annual meeting held at the Beicang Sports and Art Center.
The senior executives of Weilai have never been so concentrated. It is not an exaggeration to say that the All-Stars of Weilai are.
"The boss is right. It's rare for everyone to gather together. How can you be happy?"
Thomas, the design director of Weilai who has lived in China for many years, has good Chinese knowledge and can use idioms.
Thomas was wearing a large Tang suit and his shiny bald head looked very funny. His performance was very contrasting with the rigorous image of the Germans. He wanted to have a rap.
"Yes, Thomas is right. Everyone is ready. I'll go up and show off my ugly face."
The opening dance is naturally Boss Tan. With today's outfit, I will naturally have a Jackson space dance, but the dance is indeed average. This thing cannot be learned in a few days of rehearsal.
However, these senior executives came on the court to make everyone happy, and it doesn't matter what they danced.
"Is that my brother above?"
12-year-old Tan Jinyue is graceful and not as good as the flash employees watching her grow up. Not many employees of Weilai know her, but there is no need to say much if she can sit with the boss’s wife, the boss’s son and parents.
"It should be. Didn't your brother say he wanted to perform this space walk? I guess there will be a process of removing the mask later, and you will know then."
Tan Jincheng was wearing an exaggerated alternative outfit, and in addition to a hat, she also had a mask. She had never watched the performance list, so she could only make some judgments on her body shape.
"Jumped like a crab."
After my sister-in-law confirmed, Tan Jinyue politely curled her lips and commented.
"Haha, it must be him, but as Jin Yue said, he really jumped like a crab."
Zhang Xupeng and Tan Jincheng's family sat together. Today, not only were employees of major companies from Weilai, but also suppliers and partners. Other industrial management teams in Tan Jincheng in Beicang can also watch the performance if they have time.
Weilai's performance was lively. After Boss Tan Da finished his first monkey show, the performances and executives went on stage made everyone laugh. There were also big-name stars such as Jay Chou, Hu Ge, Liu Yifei and other performances on stage caused screams.
Of course, what excites everyone the most is the lottery in the middle.
As an annual meeting with a celebratory nature, Boss Tan will certainly not be stingy in terms of prizes. He arranged five top-end Weilai ES8s in the first prize, and took out two Lotus Lotus in the first prize.
This thing is a sports car. Who can draw a sports car every year?
In addition to these, mobile phones, TVs, etc. have been arranged, which can be said to be the most luxurious annual meeting in the car industry this year.
"Hehe, now the cars I get from the lottery are all my own. Isn't it a unique sense of accomplishment?"
Zhang Xupeng blinked at Tan Jincheng, and after the performance, he came to his family.
"Hehe, it's okay, at least it can be much less in terms of procurement costs."
The prizes for Weilai's annual meeting were actually a grand show of his own products and the entire supply chain. All the prizes came from Weilai, the supply chain and cooperative brands. Even the Orange Pin Club shopping vouchers with participation prizes of 300 yuan that everyone has are his own industry.
Really rich water will not leave outsiders’ fields!
In addition, after tonight's annual meeting, it will be the supplier conference of Weilai. In the next three days, Weilai's first-level and second-level supplier associations will discuss the project cooperation plan for the new year with Weilai, and Tan Jincheng also needs to attend.
"If you want to be proud, you have to be proud. This year, Weilai is really worthy of being proud."
"Haha, calm down, there are reporters on the scene. Besides, everyone has a mobile phone, and it may be a big deal online now." This is the first time that Beicang Sports and Art Center has held an annual meeting. In the past, it was basically held in hotels and factories. In addition, the lottery has attracted many reporters. In addition, Orange Live is broadcasting simultaneously, transmitting the annual meeting pictures in real time for employees who cannot reach the scene.
Wei Lai was lively, and the other side of the Pacific Ocean was also very lively tonight.
The old man held the inauguration ceremony today, and arrested 217 protesters at the ceremony, starting his controversial four-year special career.
It's funny to say that this guy is very popular in China. There is still a stock that is riding on the popularity of A-shares today that hit the daily limit in the afternoon of the day he won.
However, for domestic companies like Weilai that want to do global business, this guy is really unfriendly.
On November 23, the first thing this guy did when he took office was to withdraw from the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement).
"Look at it, I'll just say time is tight."
On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, the factories in various places have basically been on holiday every year, and Tan Jincheng can spare more time and energy to deal with other matters.
Weilai's super luxurious annual meeting is still popular, but he no longer has time to care.
"It's really like what you said to the boss, you are an abstract person."
Cheng Linfeng now fully believes in the boss's judgment. He has only been in office for three days, and abstract things have happened one after another. He is active on social media like an internet celebrity, posting more than a dozen updates a day.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"You don't have to worry about encountering greedy people in business, nor do you have to face those who don't follow rules, but you're afraid of encountering abstract schools."
Tan Jincheng sighed, then said to Cheng Linfeng: "You have to be more busy this year and do everything possible to deal with our property there to become more hidden. In addition, the speed of stocking up graphics cards is getting faster."
There is no way to sell it at the moment, so as long as you are not afraid of spending money, you can buy it as much as you want.
The news that Juliang Engine is going to build a data center has been spread in the past few months. Through Zhao Xinyi, Tan Jincheng also expressed his intention to be willing to be a province.
He has been very busy in the past two months and has no time to inspect, choose the site, design, or construction, but the hardware facilities required for large data centers are already starting to contact suppliers.
All chips, power supply and security hardware facilities such as CPUs, GPUs, and AI accelerators are being prepared.
In the words of the newly formed data center preparation team members, the boss's move is called "the food and grass should be done first before the troops move.
It's quite good to think about reducing the holdings of stocks from the United States, purchasing the equipment needed to transport them back to China, and using the money from these years to build their own large data center.
"Okay, understand, I will speed up."
"If necessary, you can go to Wall Street on my behalf and cooperate with Wall Street institutions."
The reduction of holdings every three months is always too slow. It seems that the method of transferring through agreements and bulk transactions is relatively fast. By the end of the year, the daylily will be cold.
According to Tan Jincheng's plan, he only plans to keep about 2 million shares of Tesla, with the current shareholding ratio of about 1.33%. For Nvidia, it will retain about 10 million shares, accounting for about 1.85%.
This shareholding ratio will definitely be diluted in the future, but I don’t care anymore.
The two companies that need to be reduced in holdings are about 6 billion US dollars in total according to their current market value. If you do it slowly, don’t even bother, but you may not be able to get it back successfully.
Cooperating with Wall Street's capital, the 6 billion US dollars is just a drizzle, and some of them can even be exchanged for special currencies or gold, reducing some losses.
In January 2017, the price of gold per ounce was around US$1,200, and the domestic price of 1,000 gold was about 345 yuan per gram, and there was still a lot of room for growth.
As a leek in his previous life, he lost money in stocks, but his investment in gold was very successful. He started buying gold from around 280 yuan per gram, and stopped until around 370 yuan, which lasted for several years.
At first, I bought gold just because I was too lazy to spend time choosing gifts. Anyway, no one disliked gold. The price of gold before his rebirth had risen to a very high number.
"Boss, don't you go by yourself?"
This is a cash out of 6 billion US dollars. The boss actually asked him to go, and Cheng Lin Feng was under great pressure.
Tan Jincheng shook his head: "I don't have time. I'm not much freer than you during the Chinese New Year. I have to go to your province for the first few days."
When the cannons in the data center are released, there are also places you like, so you must implement them as soon as possible. Early construction and early production will also be beneficial to the entire commercial system.
According to the data fed back from Guizhou Province, Tan Jincheng is more interested in Gui'an New Area. This is a national-level new area and is also a big data comprehensive experimental zone.
The mountain structure of the karst landform provides natural heat insulation, explosion protection, guarantee data security, a unique natural environment and low electricity prices, coupled with the preferential policies provided by the province, can greatly reduce the operating costs of the data center.
Speaking of which, Guizhou Province is still very visionary in this regard. Sichuan Province next to him is still mining everywhere, wasting a lot of low-cost and high-quality electricity.
It won't take long to go mining, and the mining work will be collectively banned.
Cheng Linfeng thought, "Well, that's right, boss, you have your own business, but I'm really under pressure for such a large amount of money."
He has a lot of money to trade, but it is the first time he has to deal with such a large amount of wealth from abroad to China at one time.
"You can contact Musk and Lao Huang; don't worry, they will find you the right buyer."
The reduction of holdings of the giant engine reduces its influence on Nvidia and Tesla. This is definitely what Musk and Huang are willing to see. In special times, they need funds and resources from the world's largest market.
However, the company has grown and grown, and no one wants to have a foreign partner with huge influence. It would be fine if it was a pure investment institution, but this person is not just an investor, but an entrepreneur with many industries.
Especially Musk, although he is not afraid of competition, he does not want the giant engine to hold too much Tesla stock.
Business cooperation, one time and another.
"I will contact Lao Ma and Lao Huang in the past few days. I will introduce you to them. You will lead the team at that time. The main thing is to study the laws and regulations thoroughly. There will be no other problems."
"Besides, if you go, you are actually better than if I go. My goal is too big."
Among the post-80s generation, the Americans are complimenting Xiao Zha, and the one in China is Tan Jincheng, who is about the same age. Xiao Zha mainly plays the Internet, and Tan Jincheng plays the industry, and in terms of quality, Tan Jincheng is still higher.
Although Weilai's cars do not have official official channels for sale in North America, it does not mean that Weilai's cars do not have Weilai's cars in the North American market, especially the ES8. This model can be said to be a blue ocean model of large pure electric SUVs and has almost no competitors.
Some electric car enthusiasts in the United States can also get it through various channels. ES8 is still a very excellent model in the eyes of some electric car enthusiasts in North America, and can be used to benchmark Tesla's Edamo X.
In addition, Tan Jincheng's background in an ordinary family and its amazing wealth growth value are also very consistent with the cultural atmosphere of the United States. Tan Jincheng's popularity in the United States is actually not much lower than that in Lao Ma.
"That's right, that's OK, then I'll make some arrangements."
Cheng Linfeng thought it was true that the boss was really too big if he came forward, and his goal would be much smaller. Moreover, the focus of the Americans is on the new old man, so there is no need for the boss to attract firepower.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Cheng Linfeng stood up and smiled: "I can't say that I have worked hard, this is actually what I should do."
This is nothing wrong with it. First of all, this is one of his jobs, and secondly, he is also one of the shareholders and partners of Juliang Engine.
Through the investment company of Juliang Engine, Tan Jincheng controls a series of domestic assets and controls huge wealth and its added value. Juliang Engine is also a company that is completely unique to Tan Jincheng.
As one of the only two small shareholders of Juliang Engine, Cheng Linfeng, like Huang Ming, holds extremely few shares in Juliang Engine and even only has dividend rights, but with the resources currently controlled by Juliang Engine, just this inconspicuous dividend rights of this inconspicuous shareholding is an amazing number.
Except for stock speculation in the secondary market, Juliang Engine is not very well-known to the public. Most people have never even heard of this company, but after they really understand it, they will know how terrible this investment company is.
Cheng Linfeng also became a wealthy person with his stake in Juliang Engine. This kind of wealth is not only reflected in dividends. For example, he and Huang Ming have their own companies, and their identities and resources they have come into contact with have also brought them their own careers.
In the entire business empire system around Tan Jincheng, there are many senior executives like Cheng Linfeng who have their own company. In fact, each of them is the boss, and almost every large group company is like this.
"Let's go out after the New Year. No matter how urgent it is, it's not bad for the past few days."
"It's okay, I will make arrangements. I'll make arrangements first if there is nothing."
You are polite to the boss, he can't take it seriously. We want to celebrate the New Year, and the Americans don't need to celebrate the New Year. With the status of the boss, he still has to be busy during the New Year. He must prepare for the North American delegation as soon as possible.
However, it is okay to spend the New Year at home, after all, it takes time to go through the procedures and other things.
Tan Jincheng nodded, and dealing with Tesla and Nvidia before the Abstract Arts reacted was the most important thing at the moment. They were old partners for many years. Tan Jincheng would not have to force Cheng Linfeng to slow down in order to make it so-called compassion for his subordinates.
