Reborn since 1993

Chapter 661: Take the Blame
Man proposes, God disposes. Li Dongling has already attracted many supporters for Torch Group.

If Torch Group can gain support from traditional tobacco companies in the future, its Ruyan should be able to be sold throughout America and Europe.

By then, Torch Group will basically have a foundation for survival. With lighters and e-cigarettes as its two basic markets, Torch Group's revenue will surge.

Next year, Torch Group will basically launch two brands: Zorro metal lighters and Ruyan e-cigarettes.

In the first half of the year, Zorro will open stores in America, old Europe and other places to establish sales channels. In the second half of the year, it will use these channels to sell Ruyan e-cigarettes.

By that time, Torch Group will be able to start making real profits, transforming into a stable money printing machine and starting to bring continuous income to Dongling Hi-Tech!
Dongling Hi-Tech has invested in many companies including Torch Group and Focus Media, and it is definitely not just for the sake of spending money.

Instead, it is necessary to wait until companies like Torch Group are developed before Dongling Hi-Tech can bring returns. Just like in a certain mobile game, the development path always takes time before you can get a reward!

……

The next day, Li Dongling and Yao Luoying were preparing to pack up. This trip took a lot of time. New Year's Day had already passed in the inland area, and the New Year was almost approaching.

Preparations for Dongling Hi-Tech's annual meeting have already begun. In a few days, the Oriental Times Shopping Mall will begin its first trial operation, and Li Dongling needs to rush back.

The purpose of this trip has been basically achieved. Feiyan Technology has been listed, and the Guanxing digital video recorder is about to be mass-produced. This has planted a seed for Microsoft. It remains to be seen when it will sprout, making Microsoft unable to resist the urge to buy the digital video recorder project!
At noon, outside the villa where Li Dongling and Yao Luoying were, a dusty figure appeared, who had rushed over from Seattle.

"Please come in!"

After a security check on Tang Jun, a security guard with a crew cut pushed open the door of the villa.

"Mr. Li!"

"Mr. Yao!"

After entering the villa, Tang Jun saw several figures sitting in the living room. He was the first to shout to Li Dongling and Yao Luoying. Before coming, Tang Jun did some homework.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Tang, you've worked hard along the way!"

Yao Luoying smiled at Tang Jun and asked Tang Jun to sit down. She also looked Tang Jun up and down, wondering in her heart why Li Dongling chose him to be the head of Himalaya Radio.

"Don't dare take it!"

When facing the head of Feiyan Technology, a company with a market value of 2.5 billion US dollars, Tang Jun behaved very respectfully. At that time, he was not yet a working emperor.

Sitting in the living room, Dongling Hi-Tech North America President Zhou Hualiang, Feiyan Technology's technical manager Fu Cheng, and Himalaya Radio's technical director Lu Kui also briefly introduced each other to Tang Jun.

When they heard that Tang Jun was from Microsoft, Zhou Hualiang, Fu Cheng, Lu Kui and others couldn't help but wonder why Li Dongling asked Tang Jun to come over.

“What do you think about Himalaya Radio?”

As soon as Yao Luoying opened her mouth, she went straight to the point and asked, "The headhunting company has already contacted Tang Jun, so he should be mentally prepared."

Zhou Hualiang, Fu Cheng and others heard some hidden meaning in Yao Luoying's words. Zhou Hualiang glanced at Yao Luoying, then glanced at Li Dongling who was sitting there sipping tea. He couldn't help but think of some previous rumors within Feiyan Technology, which made him a little surprised.

"Himalaya Radio has created a miracle in the Internet industry!"

Tang Jun said after a moment's deliberation, first praising Himalaya Radio, and then continued, "I think the number of Himalaya Radio users will continue to explode in the future!
Given the current scale of the Internet in America and the speed of Internet development around the world, perhaps Himalaya Radio is just getting started.”

Tang Jun expressed his own judgment and claimed that Himalaya Radio has just begun. This also means that in the future, Himalaya's users and market value may continue to double!
Li Dongling glanced at Tang Jun. Judging from his eyes alone, Tang Jun's vision was indeed outstanding.

There are many voices in America now that believe that the stock prices of Internet companies such as Feiyan Technology, Yahoo, and Netscape have risen too fast, and there are concerns about the future.

But Tang Jun claimed that the Internet is just beginning. From this point of view alone, Tang Jun's vision is far better than those people.

"If you were asked to be the general manager of Himalaya Radio, what would you do?"

Li Dongling suddenly spoke. After he said this, Tang Jun tried hard to stay calm, but his heart was beating wildly.

What is Feiyan Technology? It is now one of the focuses of the Internet and even the technology industry. Being able to serve as the general manager of Himalaya Radio means that he has become a powerful figure in the American technology industry!
If he could really become the general manager, then who would be on the same level as Tang Jun? They would include Netscape's digital hero Marc Andreessen, Silicon Valley tycoon Jim Clark, Yahoo's Jerry Yang and many other figures. This position would be much better than Tang Jun staying in Microsoft as a nobody!

Zhou Hualiang, Fu Cheng and others all turned their eyes to Tang Jun. After taking several deep breaths, Tang Jun calmed himself down.

“Himalaya Radio needs to continue to produce more ace programs like Jolly Kings, continue to increase its popularity, and let more users know about Himalaya Radio!
In addition, Himalaya Radio also needs to build its own distribution channels and start investing in or acquiring some radio stations so that more home radio users and car radio users can listen to the voice of Himalaya Radio!
In the future, American radio users will listen to Himalaya Radio programs instead of other voices!"

"Clap"

There was a noise in the villa, and Li Dongling applauded Tang Jun.

Let’s not talk about what Himalaya Radio will become in the era of mobile Internet. But in the era of computer Internet, what Tang Jun said is the most suitable path for Himalaya Radio.

Himalaya Radio is very special. It is an Internet company, but a large proportion of its current users are users of offline radios and car radios.

If Himalaya Radio just focused on attracting Internet users, it would be impossible for it to have the influence it has now.

The biggest difference between Himalaya Radio and other Internet companies is that it truly influences the real world from the Internet world!
In addition, Tang Jun also pointed out that the biggest feature of the Internet era is hype, cultivating top podcasters, and then promoting them desperately to increase their popularity. Only with popularity will the stock price increase.

Li Dongling and Yao Luoying looked at each other, and then Li Dongling looked at Tang Jun, "So, are you willing to take over the position of general manager of Himalaya Radio?"

When Tang Jun heard Li Dongling say this, his breathing suddenly became heavy. Zhou Hualiang, Fu Cheng, Lu Kui and others also changed their expressions slightly.

"I am willing!"

Tang Jun took a deep breath and said it without much hesitation.

What a bullshit position he is as president of Microsoft's Shanghai Technology Center. Even though he has become the president, few people know about it, and how much power can Microsoft give him?

After becoming the general manager of Himalaya Radio, Tang Jun became a well-known professional manager in Silicon Valley and a powerful figure in the Internet industry, and his fame increased dramatically.

"Himalaya Radio can offer you an annual salary of $15!"

Yao Luoying said, "In addition, if you can make Himalaya's user and performance reach the target, the Feiyan Technology Board of Directors will reward you with corresponding equity rewards!"

The annual salary that Feiyan Technology offered to Tang Jun can only be considered average in the circle of professional managers in America. The key is the equity reward, which is something to talk about.

If Tang Jun can get some stock options every year in the future, his salary may soar from hundreds of thousands of dollars to more than one million dollars!

“In the future, Feiyan Technology will be divided into two business segments. One segment is the hardware business, including mini radios, car radios, car audio equipment, etc., which will be managed by Lao Fu.

This year, the Feiyan Technology Board of Directors will nominate you as the general manager at the year-end meeting. From now on, you will take over Feiyan Technology's hardware business!"

Yao Luoying looked at Fu Cheng and said, "The other part is the Internet business of Himalaya Radio, which will be managed by Tang Jun. This year, the board of directors will nominate you as the deputy general manager of Feiyan Technology and the general manager of Himalaya Radio!"

"From now on, Feiyan Technology will be managed by Lao Fu, you and Tang Jun. I will submit my resignation as general manager at this year's Feiyan Technology board meeting!"

Yao Luoying told Zhou Hualiang, Fu Cheng, Lu Kui and others what had been decided long ago.

This news was quite a shock to Fu Cheng and his colleagues, although Feiyan Technology had previously reported that Yao Luoying was going to resign from the position of general manager.

But in the past, all this news was regarded as groundless. After all, Yao Luoying's identity was there. With Dongling Hi-Tech as the major shareholder, who would dare to let Yao Luoying leave?

Unexpectedly, Yao Luoying said it herself today that she was determined to leave Feiyan Technology. This also means that in the future, Yao Luoying will no longer work in any company affiliated with Dongling Hi-Tech.

After giving her instructions, Yao Luoying left in a carefree manner. This was a decision she had made long ago, so naturally there was no hesitation.

Even if her career ends at this moment, Yao Luoying's career has been brilliant enough. As a female professional manager, she led Feiyan Technology to go public, and she has set countless new records for female professional managers!
Once this decision is made, there will no longer be any rumors of power struggles between the founding couple of Dongling Hi-Tech.

Of course, on the other hand, Yao Luoying's retreat also showed her attitude and cleared the obstacles for her to marry Mr. Li.

Li Dongling looked at Yao Luoying's figure, and his expression changed slightly as he remembered something.
