I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 504 Nothing!

On the same day, Shen Nanpeng left Yanjing and flew to Pengcheng.

In the next period of time, he will further contact Vanke while conducting due diligence.

Lin Xiao didn't need to go to Pengcheng for the time being, but waited until Shen Nanpeng had more or less talked about it before going there.

In the next ten days or so, because all the major sectors were moving forward relatively normally, Lin Xiao was rarely at leisure.

Here at Eternal Network, a new batch of "Legend of Hot Blood" physical point cards has been officially launched, and the stage of selling recharge numbers with a form is finally over.

Without Du Yuanming's disturbance, everything went very smoothly.

The number of people online is also rising steadily. In mid-January, the highest number of people online at the same time has risen to 1.

Fees did not reduce the popularity of "Legend of Hot Blood". On the contrary, as time went by, players fully felt the playability, and the popularity ushered in a rise.

Brother Xiao Ma put forward the proposal of the portal website, and is still intensively analyzing and preparing the plan.

Things like QQ, QQ Mall, and QQ Games are all operating normally.

QQ users exceeded 2000 million in November 11, and are developing toward the goal of 1 million. Of course, there are cases where one person registers several accounts.

However, due to the early birth of products such as QQ Show and Alipay in this life, the repeated registration of QQ is not as exaggerated as in the previous life.

For Eternal Science and Technology, because January was mainly for the inventory work of last year, there was nothing special about this month.

The inventory of the whole year has not been completed. After all, the products of Eternal Technology have not only its own direct retail experience stores, but also agent sales in major shopping malls, as well as overseas sales. It is not so easy to complete the inventory of the entire company. thing.

It is initially estimated that the final company inventory will not be completed until the end of January and the beginning of February.

On Baidu's side, after the advertising system was officially launched, it also started to open some businesses.Baidu began to formally set up business promotion teams and offices across the country, and the scale of personnel also expanded rapidly.

Of course, the cost has also increased, but fortunately, Lin Xiao's additional investment of nearly 3000 million Huaxia coins can support it.

Wang Zhi has also returned from the country of America, and went to Baidu to work again. Lin Xiao deliberately asked him to stay there for a while, so as not to be too coincidental and attract attention.

Although Lin Xiao felt that this possibility was almost impossible, he still had to guard against it.

However, it is true that no one will link Du Yuanming's matter with Lin Xiao. Half a month has passed, and there is not even a single person who came to understand the situation.

The construction of the Eternal Headquarters is also progressing steadily. After the acquisition of the land, things including planning and design and geological survey are also being done.

It was difficult to come up with the plan for a while, but the design company came up with a preliminary design idea. After reading it, Lin Xiao was not particularly satisfied, so he took it back and readjusted it.

During this period of time, Chen Tianqiao was also concentrating on the construction of the headquarters, because Alipay really didn't have much to do.

At this stage, there are still too few application scenarios for Alipay. There are only three ports for QQ Mall, Ctrip Orders, and Baidu Advertising System at this stage.

On this basis, there is really not much Alipay needs to do.

The development progress of the e-commerce platform during this period has been a bit slow, mainly due to the absence of Zhang Xiaolong.

Some time ago, because he was worried about the safety of the company's products, Zhang Xiaolong took out Zhang Zhidong and the others to do eternal network security protection.

Although Du Yuanming's troubles were resolved, Zhang Xiaolong didn't return to his position immediately, so Lin Xiao asked him to continue to work together to complete the entire safety net.

After all, hackers at this stage are indeed very rampant, and his company's products are so popular, Lin Xiao feels that it is still necessary to prevent problems before they happen.

This can be seen from the role of the spare recharge number.

Accidents may come at any time, it is always good to be prepared.

Without Zhang Xiaolong, the core figure, the development of the e-commerce platform naturally slowed down. Fortunately, Lin Xiao is not particularly urgent about this.

The preparations for the opening of the supermarket in Gongjiang City are progressing normally. The decoration of the supermarket does not need to be too complicated. The key lies in the later delivery and personnel training. In addition, there are already some foundations in the early stage, so the decoration is also completed quickly.

On January 1th, Xu Ruyun called. Guoguang Supermarket had completed the hard installation and started to prepare for distribution. At the same time, the recruitment of personnel was also in full swing. Of course, Xu Ruyun can handle these things by herself, and Lin Xiaotai is not needed. Get involved.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Xiao went back to Jiangyou Province and signed a contract with Jiangyou Province on investing in the establishment of a retail chain company.

Before New Year's Day, four people from Duan Maolin from Jiangyou Province made a special trip to the company to connect with each other, and the two parties have been in constant contact.

After Duan Maolin brought the news back, Jiangyou Province immediately expressed a strong interest.

It just so happened that Lin Xiao and Wan Jia were also in contact here, and they had already made up their minds to enter the retail industry, and the two hit it off right away.

In the end, the two parties agreed that Lin Xiao would invest 1 million yuan to establish Guoguang Chain Company in Jiangyou Province, and open a total of no less than eight large supermarkets in all districts and cities in Jiangyou Province within three years.

At the same time, the government promised Lin Xiao certain preferential policies in terms of property purchase and taxation.

Because the signing was made in Hongdu, the provincial capital, and the parents had just met when they came to Yanjing some time ago, and since they will be on vacation after a while, Lin Xiao never returned to Gongjiang City.

The signing of Lin Xiao's contract with Jiangyou Province this time was promoted by Jiangyou Province's intentional reports, and it actually appeared in a lot of media.

For a while, many media also speculated that Lin Xiao chose to sign a contract with Jiangyou Province to enter the retail industry, because he really wanted to do a big job, or just to return his investment to his hometown.

For Lin Xiao personally, it can be regarded as a wave of enthusiasm again.

Generally speaking, although Lin Xiao had a lot of things to do during this period, he could barely be called leisure because he didn't have to work hard.

In the blink of an eye, the time came to January 1th. Shen Nanpeng called from Pengcheng. The negotiation with Vanke had reached a substantive stage, and China Resources also began to speed up the pace.

Shen Nanpeng suggested that Lin Xiao go to Pengcheng in person. For some key conditions and decisions, it would be better for Lin Xiao to come in person.

This was already planned, so the day after receiving Shen Nanpeng, Lin Xiao flew directly to Pengcheng.

Because the acquisition itself did not have much intersection with Eternal, Lin Xiao did not bring people from Eternal Group out, and even Ren Xiaowen, who had been busy with Lin Xiao recently, stayed in Yanjing.

Lin Xiao arrived in Pengcheng in the afternoon, rejected Shen Nanpeng's proposal to pick up the plane, got off the plane, took Pang Fei and Yao Yaohui to a taxi, and went directly to the hotel where Shen Nanpeng was staying.

"Ding dong ding dong ding dong..."

Not long after getting in the car, Lin Xiao's Nokia phone rang. Seeing that it was Shen Nanpeng, Lin Xiao also answered the phone directly.

"Mr. Lin, are you on your way to the hotel? A group of reporters got the news from some unknown source at the hotel. They are squatting at the hotel. Do you want to change places?"

On the other end of the phone, Shen Nanpeng's voice came out, and Lin Xiao was a little surprised when he heard it, "Reporter? Are you guarding me?"

"Maybe." Shen Nanpeng replied, "I just heard that many reporters were discussing, think about the specific situation of your entry into the retail industry."

"I think it may be the news that Huarun disclosed."

After hearing this, Lin Xiao immediately asked, "Oh? How should I say it?"

"We were talking with Vanke. China Resources knew about it a long time ago, because they all lived in the same hotel, and they occasionally met. They even approached me a few times to talk about it, but I didn't disclose it."

Shen Nanpeng went on to say: "The two companies have now realized that the negotiation has reached a critical moment, so I think they probably used the media to find out your real intention to enter the retail industry, so as to facilitate their next plan."

Lin Xiao thought about it after hearing it, and then asked, "Is it only you who knows what I told you last time?"

"Of course." Shen Nanpeng replied immediately: "No one else told it. Vanke is only discussing the valuation stage now. I haven't given any specific details yet."

"In this case, let's accept an interview." Lin Xiao said with a smile, "Since China Resources wants to know our situation so much, let them know about it too."

Hearing what Lin Xiao said, Shen Nanpeng didn't say anything more.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiao continued to go to the hotel.

Sure enough, as soon as he showed up at the hotel, Lin Xiao was surrounded by a bunch of reporters.

"Mr. Lin, are you here for the acquisition of Wanjia Chain? Why did you choose to enter the retail industry at this time?"

"Mr. Lin, you already have the Eternal Group and Baidu Company, and now you are entering the retail industry. Can you handle it with your energy?"

One question after another, Lin Xiao also answered one by one. After all, Lin Xiao has experienced a lot now and is getting more and more experienced in dealing with reporters?
At this time, a female reporter asked again: "Mr. Lin, I heard that China Resources is also in the process of acquiring Wanjia Chain. For such a large group, do you think you can compete?"

"If China Resources wants to do its best, it will be difficult for us to compete. Big companies have big businesses." Lin Xiao replied with a smile.

After hearing this, the female reporter asked curiously, "Boss Lin, isn't it because you are in Pengcheng this time because you are bound to win the Wanjia chain?"

"It is inevitable? Nothing!" Lin Xiao waved his hand.

"Actually, the acquisition of Wanjia is also a coincidence. The last time I participated in the activities of China TV Station with Mr. Wang Shi and Mr. Wang, I learned that Mr. Wang intends to sell Wanjia chain, and I happened to have some spare money, so I contacted it. .”

"I came here this time because I heard that China Resources is very interested in Wanjia Chain, so I also came here to understand the situation with Mr. Wang face to face. If the quotation from China Resources is too high, we will withdraw."

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he added, "I just established a retail company in Jiangyou Province this month, and now I'm here to acquire Wanjia Chain, and I don't want to take too big a step."

Hearing what Lin Xiao said, many of the reporters present felt a little disappointed. They originally wanted to see a big show where Lin Xiao fought against China Resources, but who knew that Lin Xiao bluntly said that he was unwilling to compete with China Resources.
