The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 498 Survival is the most important thing
"The notes you made?" Li Weidong raised his book and asked in surprise, curiosity and disbelief.

The book is full of marks with two-color pens. Although the font is not very neat and not appreciative at all, the notes are very solid and meticulous. As for the results, I will not comment on it. The attitude of hard work is worthy of recognition.

"Hey, I read blindly. I couldn't understand many places, so I asked a few talented students in the company to talk about it. I couldn't remember what they said, so I had to write it down in the book first. When I was free, I read it by myself. Flip!"

Douban said with a embarrassed smile that there are many college students who graduated from marketing in the company. His secretary is a major in this field, and he is still a graduate student.

This matter was originally quite secretive, and the secretary is also a smart person, so naturally he would not be full of the company's publicity, not only can't publicize the harm, he should always keep it secret, as long as there is a leak, he will be the most suspected, and the good times will come to an end.

Although the boss is not highly educated, he has a lot of energy. At least he can live comfortably. With a salary that many students in state-owned enterprises are very envious of, he has a bright future.

Of course, the secretary also admires the boss very much. He can take the initiative to learn, and he is not ashamed to ask his subordinates. It is not unreasonable for his success.

Li Weidong was also very surprised by this. He didn't expect that the little gangster who had always looked like a quack in his eyes could study so seriously, which was enough to impress him.

Li Weidong flipped through a few pages casually, and then changed a few more books. There were more or less notes in the books.

"Very good, keep up the momentum, and within five years you will be a half-expert!" Li Weidong sat on Doubing's office chair, looked at Doubing with admiration, and said encouragingly.

"Don't be kidding me. You are still an expert. I just look at these things. Those economics and accounting give me a headache. I don't know how to say it!" Dou Bing said with a grin .

"Economics is a bit difficult, you need some knowledge of calculus, but it doesn't matter, take your time, just understand the meaning, and you don't need to deduce many principles!" Li Weidong nodded in agreement.

Li Weidong taught himself two books on economics in his previous life, but only read them twice. Many important principles and conclusions require some knowledge of advanced mathematics to deduce.

As for accounting, he is even more familiar with it. His daughter-in-law does this, and she has been educated for two lifetimes. Besides, these things can be used in business, so he naturally learned a bit. Some things are indeed difficult to understand. The word "loan" confused him for a long time.

"Yes, yes, I just want to understand what those nouns mean. The people below others think I'm illiterate, so I just use those high-level words to fool me!" Dou Bing quickly expressed his attitude.

"As long as you read, it's not in vain. You all have to work hard. Education doesn't matter, but if you don't study, it's shameful, and it's easy to fool people!" Li Weidong nodded in agreement.

"Yes, we have been studying all the time. We read books and newspapers, and went to school to attend lectures, trying our best to improve our academic qualifications!" Hearing what Li Weidong said, Liu Dachun quickly promised.

I am also envious of Doubing in my heart. The boss has seen such a glorious side. This impression can be given full marks.

This is almost the same as the effect of a prostitute from being good and a murderer from being good. It is a subversive impression. Even Liu Dachun himself admired Doubing's learning spirit, let alone Li Weidong who has been asking them to learn.

"Well, you don't have to be afraid of higher education, the higher the better, the company will reimburse the tuition fee for higher education, as long as you get a diploma, you will be reimbursed!" Although Li Weidong has doubts about raising the level of education, it is always good to learn a little.

Doubing then introduced to Li Weidong their strategic plan for the next three years, development goals, and what effects they will achieve. Li Weidong affirmed these and encouraged them to continue to work hard to create a better tomorrow.

It is rare that Li Weidong did not raise any criticism this time, which shows that he is very satisfied with Doubing's learning attitude this time.

"Chairman, after two to three years of layout, the first, second and third tier cities can basically be saturated, and the next step is to consider sinking to the county-level areas of the fourth, fifth and sixth tiers. This is a broader market!" Douban finally said passionately Said.

Li Weidong frowned, and wanted to maintain his usual attitude of praise, but he couldn't help but said: "Although the county-level regional market is vast, the consumption power still needs to be investigated again!"

"You publicize to the outside world that the price is uniform across the country. This price is relatively cheap in big cities. The sales volume is good and the profit is not bad. But you read the book, there is an inflection point in the relationship between price and sales volume!"

"At this price, how much sales do you think you can have in the county and how many employees can you support? It's best to investigate first and try it out!"

Doubing heard Li Weidong's words, pondered for a while and said: "Chairman, this is just an immature idea of ​​mine. The specifics need to be discussed by the board of directors, and other organizations will be entrusted to conduct research!"

"However, I also learned about the development of the county economy, especially some provinces in the south, which are developing very rapidly. Even the output value at the township level in the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta is more than that of the prefectures and cities in the mainland!"

"So I think, when we have the same layout in first-, second- and third-tier cities, about two to three years later, their economic conditions will definitely be better than now, and the price will be more acceptable!"

After listening to Doubing's words, Li Weidong's understanding of him has increased, he has his own opinions, and they are well-founded, and to a certain extent, he can talk to Li Weidong.

Li Weidong nodded and didn't speak. He had acquiesced in the inference of bean cakes, but he knew in his heart that this kind of situation could only be done in the relatively developed places in the south, and most of the counties in the north might not work.

He seems to remember that there were no KFC or McDonald's stores in his county until the year he was reborn. They were all so-called fried chicken burgers or domestic foreign fast food, and the price advantage was too obvious.

It's all junk food, can you still say that yours doesn't have the garbage of other homes?

For ordinary people, it’s all junk food, and it doesn’t matter which one you eat, but the taste of those small workshops is quite good!

After chatting for a while and drinking two cups of tea, Li Weidong proposed to leave. In the elevator room, Liu Dachun tentatively asked: "Brother, you have come here, do you want to go to Jingwei Investment?"

Li Weidong hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yeah, it's already here. It's too much not to go up and have a look. Then go up and have a look. I seem to remember that the person in charge of the Jingcheng Company is Jiang Zongtao, right?"

"Good memory, it's Mr. Jiang. When the office was upgraded to a subsidiary, Mr. Jiang came over to take charge of the business here!" Liu Dachun said with a smile.

Some shares of Anjuke are still held by Jingwei Investment to ensure their identity as a Hong Kong capital. Therefore, Jingwei Investment is a shareholder of Anjuke, and most of the companies under Li Weidong's name have this situation.

Later, Jingwei Investment established several subsidiaries, and based on the principle of proximity, let each subsidiary hold this part of the shares in the name of each subsidiary. Naturally, each subsidiary must appoint a full-time or part-time director of the board of directors.

For a relatively large company like Anjuke, the directors of the board of directors are usually the senior managers or general managers of the subsidiaries, so Jiang Zongtao naturally became a director of Anjuke, and he is naturally familiar with Liu Dachun.

Although they basically don’t ask anything, they just supervise the financial audit matters on time and regulate the company’s accounting and other financial issues, but directors are directors and have an important vote on the board of directors.

Therefore, Liu Dachun is also very polite to others, especially in the future when the decision-making level of the board of directors and the executive level of the managerial committee are separated, Liu Dachun's power will definitely be weakened. If he can make good friends with this director, there will be no harm.

Now that Liu Dachun proposed and Li Weidong agreed, Jiang Zongtao would have one more opportunity to directly report to the big boss, and one more chance for the big boss to understand his abilities.

Jiang Zongtao must have had such an opportunity. Knowing that Liu Dachun facilitated this matter, he would naturally be grateful to him from the bottom of his heart. If some things do not violate the principles and morals of the world, do you need to support him more?

The office building in New Century Plaza has a total of 25 floors, of which the highest three floors belong to Jingwei Investment, but the elevator can only reach the 24th floor, and the 25th floor is not controlled by outsiders.

Doubing explained to Li Weidong: "Although the 23rd to 25th floors are nominally rented by Jingwei Investment, in fact, the 23rd floor is not used by them themselves. There is a name called "Maker Space"!"

"More than 1000 square meters are divided into many offices. The large ones are more than a dozen square meters, and the small ones are only a few square meters. Even a desk can start a business. Now many young people start businesses here!"

"And the rental price of Jingwei Investment is simply the price of cabbage. Only if you have a good idea, then write it out, pass the review, it is basically free, and will provide entrepreneurial guidance!"

Li Weidong nodded. He had mentioned this matter to Zheng Sijing before, and he also knew that Jingwei Investment was also doing this kind of work, but he knew in his heart that this kind of thing was just for young people to experience entrepreneurship and experience.

If it is really too difficult to succeed in starting a business by relying on this thing, the success of a college student’s business is a small probability event, and the possibility of this kind of entrepreneurship is even smaller.

"It is said that in just three or four years, thousands of makers have come here to experience entrepreneurship. Of course, most of the makers ended in failure, but there are also some who have successfully gone out and started companies!"

"Just a few months ago, there was a team that worked on a search engine, and a few turtles who were studying abroad. It is said that there were only six or seven people. They received an investment of 1000 million from Jingwei Investment, and now they have moved to Zhongguancun! "

Li Weidong smiled knowingly when he heard this. He is familiar with this matter. He has always had a habit of regularly summarizing the list of companies invested or pre-invested by Jingwei Investment and Anyu Capital.

At the end of last year, he saw the name Baidu in the pre-investment list, with a fund of 500 million, Li Weidong didn't need to ask at all, so there was no need for Jingwei Investment to report separately.

But when Li Weidong saw this name, he was overjoyed. He hadn't gone to find someone yet, but they came to him. At that moment, Li Weidong knew that the future BAT would not escape his grasp.

So when he was happy, Li Weidong called Zheng Sijing, and the investment doubled to 1000 million. As for the shares, Li Weidong didn't have to worry about it. He believed that the people below would understand.

It is estimated that Boss Li didn't know what was going on, so he happily accepted the excessive investment in a daze.

Moreover, the more money there is, the greater the possibility of success. Most entrepreneurs have not gone through the ravages and baptism of the mall. Where does he come from foresight and vision? Survival is the most important thing. Naturally, he will not refuse money.

"With these successful cases, more makers apply to come here to start a business. If there are too many people, there will be all kinds of birds, and there will be a mixture of fish and dragons. Later, it will have an impact on the work of Jingwei Investment!"

"So in order to reduce the impact and maintain the safety of the company, this floor is separated from their company. We can only go to the company's front desk on the 24th floor by taking the elevator!"

"Even if you go up from the elevator, you can only go up to the 24th floor. If you want to go up to the 25th floor, you have to go through the front desk to go up. In this way, you will travel to a semi-enclosed place, which not only ensures safe passage, but also reduces the impact!"

Dou Cake introduced that the elevator also reached the 24th floor. After the elevator door opened, it was indeed different from other floors.

The lady at the front desk noticed that the elevator stopped on the 24th floor. When the elevator door was not open, she looked down at the registration book on the desk. There was an appointment record at this time, but people had already entered.

The young lady frowned slightly, but immediately returned to a professional smile. After all, as a domestic venture capital giant, they still have a great influence, and there are often entrepreneurs who come here because of their reputation, so you can't get angry with them.

The elevator opened, and Li Weidong came out first. The young lady smiled and asked politely: "Hello, sir, welcome to Jingwei Investment, who are you looking for, do you have an appointment?"

Li Weidong didn't speak, but just looked at the young lady, um, not bad, with this appearance, the current stage is more than wrong.

The young lady seemed to have gotten used to this kind of scrutiny, her gaze changed slightly, and she began to slander her peerless beauty in her heart, making others ignore her talent.

She was originally going to be an investment manager, but the human resources told her that we still lack a front desk, and you are suitable, and you can come to work anytime if you want.

The young lady agreed without backbone. After all, facing the invitation of the largest venture capital company in China, not everyone can get the front desk. Let alone advanced companies, maybe there will be a chance.

But the young lady's eyes soon became a little surprised. Although she didn't recognize Li Weidong, she recognized the bean cake behind. After all, the same upstairs has business and investment relations. It is not difficult to know a general manager of this level. .

"Hi Mr. Zhu, welcome to Jingwei Investment. You are looking for Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang should be in a meeting at this point?" After the young lady was surprised, she immediately straightened her already straight body and asked with a smile on her face.

However, I also began to wonder in my heart, who is the person who walked out before Mr. Zhu? According to business etiquette, the first person to enter the elevator and the first to get out of the elevator must be the most honorable person. It is impossible to make a mistake?
