Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Colvin knew that he couldn't find out the deep space's attitude towards Huawei on the spot, so he said goodbye to Yu Dong and the others with a smile, "You are also busy tonight, so I won't bother you."

Jimmy nodded, pointed to the distance, and said, "Fowler is over there, you can talk to him about variety shows."

Colvin raised his wine glass, then walked in the direction of Fowler.

After he left, Yu Dong smiled and said, "It seems that Motorola is not determined enough to want Huawei."

Jimmy shook his head, "It's not that they are not determined enough, but that they have no way to do it. Motorola has accumulated a lot now, and it is not easy to make changes. Chris Calvin wants to acquire Huawei, but Huawei's asking price must be It will not be low. I estimate that Huawei will ask for about 80 billion US dollars. The directors of Motorola’s board of directors will not agree to such a huge acquisition. Once Chris Calvin encounters resistance from the board of directors, he will definitely not move forward. , after all, his current position is not stable.”

Yu Dong frowned, "It's 80 billion US dollars, so if we want to acquire it, it won't be easy."

It is said that the deep space company has good cash flow, but it is very difficult for them to spend 80 billion US dollars in a short time.

It is possible to get it out by squeezing it together, but it is very likely to affect the normal development of the group unless they suspend their operations in the stock market.

Jimmy smiled and said: "If we want to buy it, the price should be lower. In addition, we can negotiate installments with Huawei. We are different from Motorola. Huawei must have more trust in us. In addition, in the matter of acquisition, we deep space Its reputation has always been good.”

Yu Dong smiled, Jimmy was right, Deep Space Corporation has always had a very good reputation in the acquisition.

Deep Space has acquired many companies, and the results are very good, and they have not overly interfered with the development of their subsidiaries. Because of this, many companies with average development hope that Deep Space can acquire them, and they also hope that they can become Blizzard, Snow Leshan.

"Looking at you, it seems that you are quite supportive of the acquisition of Huawei?"

Jimmy nodded, "Actually, what Colvin said is right. Huawei is a good match for us. If we can take them down, it will definitely be very good for the future development of our group. Companies like Nokia, Ericsson, and Cisco are also very good for us. There is no way to buy it, so Huawei is the most suitable for us, and the price is expensive, but it is also within the acceptable range."

Yu Dong smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then you have to plan carefully later."

Jimmy curled his lips and said, "Isn't you the first to bring up the acquisition of Huawei? Why did it end up on me?"

Yu Dong laughed, "You are better at it."

In fact, Yu Dong didn't necessarily want to acquire Huawei from the very beginning. The reason why he moved this idea was mainly because he was afraid that Huawei would fall into the hands of Motorola or other foreign companies.

If there is no foreign company to move Huawei in the end, then Yu Dong has no intention of acquiring Huawei.

But Jimmy obviously doesn't think so. Jimmy has already included Huawei in the development of deep space. Even if foreign companies such as Motorola do not acquire Huawei, he will take Huawei down.

"When the annual meeting is over, I will..."

When Jimmy was about to say something, Disney's Michael Eisner came up with a glass of wine, "Jimmy, Yu, what are you two doing hiding here? I've been looking for you for a long time."

Seeing the transparent liquid in Michael Eisner's wine glass, Yu Dong said with a smile, "Michael, what do you want us to do? Do you want to drink water with us?"

When Yu Dong said that there was white water in his glass, Michael Eisner became anxious, and stretched out the glass in front of Yu Dong, "What white water, this is white wine."

Yu Dong laughed and said, "You drink white wine, I underestimated you, come on, let's touch each other."

Michael Eisner clinked the glass with Yu Dong very boldly, then raised his head and drank the white wine in the glass. He didn't pour much into the glass, but there was still about one or two drinks, which was quite a drink. .

The taste of baijiu was still a bit unacceptable to Michael Eisner. After drinking the baijiu, he couldn't help frowning.

Yu Dong said in surprise, "You don't have to drink so hard, do you?"

Michael Eisner laughed, "Didn't you say that in China, as long as you clink glasses, you have to toast?"

Yu Dong and Jimmy looked at each other and smiled, knowing that Michael Eisner must have been fooled.Although there is a saying in China to clink glasses to cheers, it is not necessary to toast lightly when drinking baijiu, just to express one's intentions.

Now that Michael Eisner had done it all, Yu Dong naturally couldn't hold back, and he did it in one gulp, but he didn't frown, not because he was a good drinker, but because there was really water in his glass...

Michael Eisner looked at Yu Dong with admiration, and heaved a long sigh of relief. The glass of wine just now was burning like a fire in his chest.

"Baijiu is indeed very special. As Mr. Yu Hua said, drinking baijiu is like a Chinese fire dragon swimming in the chest. Especially this Wuliangye, the taste is very suitable for me."

Yu Dong smiled and said, "Since you like it, drink more."

It stands to reason that Yu Dong and Jimmy don't need to decide what wine to drink at the dinner party, someone below will handle it, but Jimmy and Yu Dong really discussed this matter seriously.

Yu Dong's proposal was to prepare several kinds of wine, and the guests could drink whatever they wanted, which was also done in the previous annual meeting.

But Jimmy disagrees, he thinks that the dinner party can only serve white wine, whether the guests like it or not, if they don't drink white wine, they can also choose to drink fruit juice.

In the end, Jimmy convinced Yu Dong that there was only baijiu at the banquet, so even if Michael Eisner and the others were not used to drinking it, they could only drink it, or they could only drink fruit juice.

After Michael Eisner left, Yu Dong handed the wine glass to Jimmy, "Hold it for me, I'm going to the bathroom, I drank too much water tonight."

Jimmy teased, "That's really hard work for you."

……

The second day of the Deep Space Annual Conference happened to be the New Year's Eve, and many people were far away, so they didn't rush to go back and spent the New Year's Eve in Jinling.

This year's new year just happened to catch up with the Beginning of Spring, the weather was very good that day, the wind was breezy, and the sky was clear. Although the temperature was still not high, I could already feel that winter was slowly passing by.

In the past in Shanghai, Yu Dong and the others had nothing special to celebrate the beginning of spring, just like ordinary days, but since their family came to Jinling, there was an extra activity every year at the beginning of spring, which was fried spring rolls.

Yu Dong’s mother-in-law, Chen Yuqing, made good spring rolls. In the first two years, she was the only one who fried spring rolls, and the two of them ate them together. Later, they gradually developed the custom of all members. When the beginning of spring, everyone started to fry spring rolls. Give a little to each family, and taste their own crafts.

Some families know that it is difficult to beat Chen Yuqing in making ordinary fried spring rolls, so they find other ways. For example, last year, Yu Hua's family launched a new spring roll with bean paste filling.

In the past, there were no special activities in Jinling during the beginning of spring, but today is different. A new square has been built in the HX district, and this year the beginning of spring has finally been used by the government.

Led by the Jinling government, this year's beginning of spring held a cattle-fighting event in Hexi Square.

The so-called "beating cattle" is a traditional activity in Jinling. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Lichun was a very important day in Jinling. At that time, every Lichun, the local government would come forward to organize a New Year celebration. The prefect of Jiangning brought local officials and The gentry set off from Jiangning Mansion to the eastern suburbs to hold a grand spring worship ceremony.

During the ceremony, it is necessary to prepare a farming ox made of clay, and then find a blind man to paint the body of the clay ox with colorful brushes. It's called bull fighting.

After the cattle hunting is over, someone will carry the mud cattle to the urban area, which is called sending spring.

On the day of Lichun, the family gathers to worship the gods, which is called Jiechun, and then the younger generation salutes to the elders, which is called Spring worship.

At the end of spring worship, the whole family sits together to eat spring pancakes, which is called bite spring.

This year the beginning of spring has caught up with the new year, and the Jinling government has taken the lead. Many residents of Jinling also joined in the fun and picked up this set with deletions and deletions.

The cattle hunting activities in Hexi are naturally different from those in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. First of all, the cows are not made of clay but colored cattle made of plastic, and those who paint the body of the cattle with multicolored brushes did not find a blind person.

In addition, the Jinling government also prepared 2002 small colored cattle with a length of five or six centimeters and distributed them to the people who came to join in the fun.

Because the event was held in Hexi, the Jinling government also invited Yu Dong and Jimmy to attend.

After the cow's body was painted with color, Secretary Liu handed a colored whip to Yu Dong, "Mr. Yu, why don't you come here this spring?"

Yu Dong waved his hands again and again, "Don't, don't, you should come, I'm shameless."

Secretary Liu was just being polite. Of course, it was impossible to really give Yu Dong the whip. He also knew that Yu Dong would not pick it up. He smiled, went to the front and whipped the cow twice, and then threw the whip into the crowd , let the people fight for it.

This whip was made of colorful ropes one by one, but what method should be used when weaving it? Secretary Liu threw it like this, and the whips scattered one by one and fell in many places.

At this time, the gongs and drums sounded together, and the activity reached its climax, and the colorful cattle were also transported by truck to Gulou District.

Looking at the truck going away, Secretary Liu said to Dong and Jimmy with a smile, "Both, it's getting late. May I invite you to our government cafeteria for dinner?"

Jimmy smiled and said, "Secretary Liu, since you're all here in Hexi, why bother to look far away? I've asked someone to arrange meals in the cafeteria of our park, and it's only a few steps away from here."

Secretary Liu pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine, then I won't be hypocritical, let's go to the canteen of Deep Space together today. A colleague who was engaged in economics mentioned your canteen to me, saying that you The reason why the deep space economy can develop as it is now is inseparable from the cafeteria."

"Hey, food is the most important thing for the people. No matter what you do, having enough food is the most important thing."

"That's right." Secretary Liu nodded, "Then let's not delay, let's go now, Secretary Li, please work hard and bring someone here to clean up the tail."

……

Hexi Square is a few kilometers away from the Deep Space Park. Of course, it is impossible to walk there. Everyone got in the car and arrived there in a few minutes.

There were so many leaders participating in the event today that there was definitely not enough room for one table. In the end, including the people from Deep Space, they shared four boxes.

Yu Dong and Jimmy were naturally at the same table with Secretary Liu. Jimmy suggested a drink or two, but Secretary Liu and the others had something to do in the afternoon, so they didn't drink.

Although they didn't drink, they still ate for more than an hour for a meal, because they talked about business matters during the meal.

After sending Secretary Liu and the others away, Jimmy followed Yu Dong back to the box.

Jimmy smiled and said, "I didn't expect Secretary Liu to speak up about the playground in Qixia District."

Yu Dong nodded, "No ordinary company can afford such a large investment. What do you think of this?"

"No hurry, let's talk first. We will also organize a research group to go to Qixia District to see if there is a condition to build a large-scale playground. Actually, I think it is feasible to build a playground. The key lies in two points. One is time." , The second is the policy... Qixia District is building a university town. There will definitely be more young people in the future, and the supporting facilities will be able to keep up. But it will take time, three years, five years or ten years. We need to be sure of this If it is built too early, the supporting facilities are not up, and the flow of people is not enough, it is a waste of time. If it is built too late, the policy may not be very good... The policy is very important, and it is directly related to the cost and later operation of the playground. What I mean is , When the policy is better, take down the land first, and then slowly build the playground, so that time and policy can be taken into account.”

Yu Dong laughed, "If you make such an idea, the Jinling government may not agree."

Jimmy shrugged his shoulders, "What's the point if they don't agree? Now that Qixia District has just started to develop, if we don't build a playground, other companies will participate in the development? Actually, I think what they have to do now is To make an overall plan, it is best to make a long-term plan for 20 or even 30 years, and then piece together the puzzle piece by piece. If you do it one by one, there will be big problems. Now many local governments in China are prone to make this mistake when building roads. Some urban arterial roads are built with four or even two lanes, thinking that it is completely sufficient, and they have no idea how fast the development speed will be."

Yu Dong knew that what Jimmy said was right. Many places lacked foresight in urban planning and wrongly estimated the speed of development, which caused the city's development to encounter bottlenecks early.

During the planning process of Hexi, Shenkong Company put forward many suggestions, so the road in Hexi is made very wide, and the reserved space is very large, which is very convenient for later transformation.

However, because of this incident, Hexi has been criticized by some people. Some people think that the local government is wasting public money and building the road too wide. There are few vehicles on the road. It is better to make the road narrower and save some money to invest in medical care and education. go. (end of this chapter)
