Chapter 286 Change of thinking
“You have two tasks this year.
First, do a good job in publicity and launch of new products.
Second, start from Delong Group Buy Huiyuan with your hands," Xu Liang said.
“I know it without you having to tell me, but will Delong Group really sell it?”
"Wait until after the Chinese New Year to get in touch, get a feel for Delong Group's attitude, and tentatively quote a price. Don't make it too low. Delong Group is short of money now."
"Yeah."< br>
“Let’s go out with me.”
Xu Liang stood up.
“Where to go?”
"Stanford Dune Road, I bought an office building there."
Xu Liang stood up.
“Why are you buying an office building here?”
“Building an office for the American branch of Hanhua Capital.” Xu Liang said.
“The development of Hanhua Capital is very positive.”
Sensing the resentment in her tone, Xu Liang quickly put his arms around the beautiful lady's waist and smiled.
“I am also very good to Jianlibao, and I have found you a good opportunity to acquire Huiyuan. When the acquisition is completed, Jianlibao Group will have two product lines, carbonated drinks and fruit drinks, with revenue and risk resistance. The capabilities are far greater than they are now, and the valuation will increase several times. In two years at most, the market value of Jianlibao Group will definitely exceed 10 billion Huaxia coins.
We will launch a new product line after two years of settling down. < br>
I assure you that Jianlibao Group will definitely be a multinational food and beverage giant in the future.”
“This is what you said. In the future, Jianlibao Group will never be worse than Hanhua Capital.”< br>
Once a woman's desire to win is aroused, she can no longer suppress it.
"Okay, I promise you."
As he spoke, the car gradually reached Sand Hill Road and stopped at a building surrounded by green trees.
From a distance, it looks like a huge manor.
“The environment here is really nice.”
"The United States is a big place, with fewer people, and the living environment is much better than ours. Especially on Sand Hill Road, most of the environment is like this. Let's go in and have a look."
Park the car on the right side outside the door PARKING LOT.
Climb the two steps and back away from the door.
The front desk is facing you.
A beautiful girl with a typical Asian appearance wearing a small lapel women's overalls is sitting inside.
Seeing Xu Liang come in, he stood up quickly.
“Mr. Xu.”
Xu Liang nodded slightly.
He has been here several times since the house was bought.
Go around the front desk and enter from the right.
A huge office space with many glass partitions comes into view.
“How big is it here?”
There was an echo in her voice.
“4250 square meters.”
Xu Liangdao.
"So big? Do you use such a large office space?"
"If it is just for offices, Hanhua certainly does not need such a big space. The first floor is mainly used as an incubator to attract start-up companies. I gave a lecture at Stanford University Having paid so much and caused so much trouble, of course it would be nice to have something in return." Xu Liangdao.
Deng Deng Deng…….
Rapid footsteps came from behind.
The two turned around and saw Zhao Xun rushing over.
"Mr. Xu! Mr. Qiao?"
Zhao Xun is Qiao Yuhui's old subordinate. When he saw her here, he was surprised and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"Old Zhao, why aren't there any office supplies on the first floor?"
"We have contacted the second-hand wholesaler and made an appointment to deliver them this afternoon."
Xu Liang nodded, "Let's go up and talk."
Come to the second floor.
The space on the second floor is slightly smaller than the first floor.
But even so, compared to Hanhua, which has just opened, there is still a lot of free space.
It doesn’t matter.
Hurry up and buy now when Silicon Valley is bankrupt and housing prices are at a low. It won’t be so cheap in the future.
Arriving at the office on the second floor, the three of them sat down.
"Mr. Xu, we have hired thirty-two people so far, and have basically set up various departments. However, except for the Netflix project you invested in, there are currently no other businesses."
"I know. When the office downstairs is finished, you can go to Stanford University to promote the policies of our incubation room. I believe my speech will be of some use, but don't make the door bar too low. The business plan is too Scratchy, don’t do it if the model is not clear.”
“Yes.”
“By the way, you can also use me as a selling point. All startups that stay in our incubation room will be free. Get my entrepreneurial guidance”
"I think many people will join our incubation room because of Mr. Xu's name. Then the space on the first floor may not be enough." Zhao Xun said with a smile.
"Let's talk about it when it's not enough. At least we are still very comfortable now."
After a pause, Xu Liang continued: "Have you contacted Rockets owner Alexander?"
“I have contacted you several times, but his asking price is too high.”
“How much?”
"350 million U.S. dollars."
Xu Liang frowned, now is not ten years after the depreciation of the U.S. dollar.
The Rockets with a poor record are simply not worth so much money.
“It’s too expensive, let’s continue talking.”
Xu Liangdao. After Zhao Xunlue's team hesitated, "Mr. Xu, I think we can pick up another team so that we can lower the price."
Xu Liang understands what he means. Shopping around is a buyer's market. If you are determined to buy from one, it is a seller's market.
The former is of course easier to lower the price.
But he values the Rockets, for the No. 1 pick, and for Yao Ming.
So we can only decide on one family.
"Mr. Xu, through this period of understanding, I feel that NBA President David Stern is eager to open up the Chinese market, and a team with a Chinese owner can help him achieve this goal, so I think we can talk to him Let’s talk about it, like the No. 1 pick.”
Xu Liang’s eyes lit up.
Yes.
His previous idea was completely wrong.
The draft lottery can be manipulated.
If he can get David Stern, then he has the No. 1 pick in hand, and he just needs to find a team with a worse record to acquire him.
He patted Zhao Xun's shoulder hard and praised.
"Old Zhao, you have done a great job this time."
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "I hope I can help you."
"You, it's okay. You should listen to other people's opinions more and don't act arbitrarily all the time." Qiao Yuhui said with a smile.
"I'm not arbitrary. Don't you think I'm following the good this time?... By the way, Zhao. In addition to the Rockets, which team are you interested in?"
"Los Angeles Clippers. New York and Los Angeles are the two largest cities in the United States and have the largest football markets. If the team is placed in these two cities, the team's future growth will be the highest."
Xu Liang nodded, Zhao. Xun's analysis makes sense.
The growth potential of the Los Angeles Clippers is indeed higher than that of the Houston Rockets.
“One more thing. Mr. Xu, I don’t really suggest that we acquire the Rockets.”
"Why?"
"In addition to the high price, it is too far away from us and is not very convenient for management. If you want to watch a game, you have to fly more than a thousand kilometers, which is too time-consuming. .
It would be more beneficial to us if we replace the Rockets with the Warriors.
First, it is right under our noses, making it easier to manage.
Second, It is the only basketball team in Silicon Valley, and Silicon Valley is the place with the most technology rich people in the United States and an innovation center. Although the population is not as good as that of Los Angeles, it has more wealthy people and is no worse than the Los Angeles Clippers.
Third, San Francisco is the city with the largest number of Chinese Americans, and we can get more support here. "
Xu Liang nodded. He admitted that Zhao Xun's analysis made sense.
In fact, the reason why he wanted to acquire the Rockets was purely based on the memory of his previous life.< br>
But memory is memory, and the real NBA is much more complicated than simple memory.
Zhao Xun has been investigating the NBA for so long, so he must have more say than him.
"You help me make an appointment with Stern first. After I meet with him, I will decide which team to acquire." Xu Liang said.
He only cares about the No. 1 pick. If Stern can promise him the No. 1 pick, the Rockets will become dispensable.
“Yes.”
“Also, how is the collection of information about Silicon Valley startups?”
“The catalog is complete, but the information is still being improved. , I can bring it to you at noon the day after tomorrow.”
Xu Liang nodded.
"Okay, I won't disturb your work."
He greeted Qiao Yuhui and left here.
She stayed in San Francisco for three days and then hurried back to China.
The new year has just passed at Jianlibao, and we are still summarizing the previous year and preparing for the new year's plan. There are thousands of things to do.
If Xu Liang's challenge to Larry Ellison hadn't been too sensational, she would have been worried.
She won't come here in a hurry.
However, she was lucky, the private jet purchased by Xu Liang had been delivered to her.
She can just take a private jet back without spending too much time on the journey.
——
"Mr. Xu, this is the document sent by Mr. Zhao."
After taking it from Lu Hui, Xu Liang looked through it carefully.
The above are all Internet companies that have survived in Silicon Valley at this stage. He wanted to see if there were any standards that he had missed.
After turning a few pages, he gained something.
“PayPal?”
Xu Liang's eyes lit up.
He is very familiar with this internationally renowned third-party payment platform.
But he didn’t know that PayPal had appeared so early.
Looking at the information at the back, I couldn't help but frown.
“Have you started the listing road show?”
Although the listing silent period stipulated by the SEC has not yet entered, it is very difficult to acquire stocks from shareholders or invest in them at this time.
“After all, give it a try. If it doesn’t work, forget it.”
Draw a red circle on PayPal with a red pen.
Continuing to scroll back, I soon saw a few familiar names.
Expedia, translated as Expedia.
Expedia is the world's largest online travel company, accounting for approximately one-third of the global online travel market. He had booked a flight ticket online from this company when he traveled before.
Another one is Zappos, an online shoe store.
The only reason he knew this was because the boss of this company was a Chinese named Tony Hsieh, who later became a venture capitalist. Xu Liang had attended an investment reception organized by him.
Zappos is a classic investment case that is often talked about by the other party.
Except for these three companies, the rest are unfamiliar.
But the company is unfamiliar, so let’s look at the data analysis below.
He is now considered a senior Internet entrepreneur. Coupled with the memory of the previous life, whether a company can develop can be roughly judged by looking at their model and development direction.
And being able to survive the Nasdaq crisis is not simple in itself.
