Chapter 935 Protection (4k)

Dangdang preliminarily agreed to sell itself to Yiguo.

Qingzi gave up struggling under the increasingly severe financial crisis.

This is somewhat regrettable.

Yu Hong, who was watching this incident for the first time, quickly outlined the changes in her mind. Yiguo, which was already the No. 1 B2C in China, got Dangdang's logistics and warehousing this time, which was actually a nutritional supplement with almost no rejection reaction.

Because, after its efforts, Dangdang imitated Yiguo.

Now it's good, those who learn from me will live, and those who imitate me will die...

"Yiguo digested Dangdang this year. Will it confront Taobao next year?" Yu Hong talked about the situation of domestic e-commerce, and couldn't help asking again, "Can I really buy Dangdang? There will be no variables?"

Fang Zhuo shook his head gently: "What other variables can there be? Just buy it. I don't hold grudges."

This is just a small matter caused by the global financial crisis.

Dangdang has been having trouble finding funding in China over the past two years. Venture capitalists generally have a perception that if an Amazon can be born in China, it will definitely be Yiguo instead of Dangdang. If B2C models are similar, then a big winner will definitely emerge.

Therefore, the reason that directly led Li Guoqing to make a relatively quick decision was that Dangdang, which had received foreign funds at a high price, seemed to really not be able to survive.

Xiong Xiaoge met Li Guoqing for the third time today, and the time spent was still short, and the reasons were also very simple.

——Mr. Fang has money now and can give you cash.

——It’s not shameful to lose to Mr. Fang. Others want to lose to the richest man in the mainland but can’t find an opportunity.

——Everyone knows that you have a grudge against Mr. Fang. This time, you would rather sell the company to him, but it is just to preserve the employment of employees in the crisis. Other buyers may not be able to make such a promise. This move is a righteous act.

In this way, Li Guoqing generously went to justice and finally let the company commit to the big devil.

"In two days, I will call to congratulate Weiwei. This business is really good." Yu Hong did not dwell on Mr. Fang's psychological quality. She planned to call after the domestic Double Eleven was over. He must be very busy now.

"Well, it's really good. Let's see what Taobao will do next year." Fang Zhuo also thought of Taobao, which was eyeing it covetously. I wonder if Yiguo, which has strengthened its warehousing and logistics this time, can stimulate new changes in Ma Dian.

With the addition of Dangdang, the pilot radiation range of logistics acceleration in the first half of next year may be larger.

The domestic e-commerce landscape is focusing on the big, and more vertical subdivisions have emerged.

Fang Zhuo turned his mind and thought about Yiguo's meeting before the New Year this year.

Yiguo has always developed very fast, burning money quickly, and the user scale is increasing quickly. The first half of next year will be another key attempt.

"Thank you for the dinner, boss. See you tomorrow." Yu Hong ended the interview with Mr. Fang and was very satisfied with hearing about the business dealings that he didn't know if it was gossip.

"Well, see you at the meeting tomorrow." Fang Zhuo nodded. Tomorrow morning is an internal meeting of Yike, which is both a summary and a preparation for the Christmas promotion in Europe and the United States.

Last year's Yike Mars performed very well during this festival, and the company has high expectations for this year.

The next day, on the 12th, at ten o'clock in the morning, the meeting with time difference between the three places was officially held.

As an emerging force this year, Liu Qiangdong, head of Huaxia's mobile phone business, first reported to his colleagues.

As of November, Yike's sales activities in Huaxia lasted for two and a half months.

In this not-too-long period of time, the Huaxia team first completed the original sales target of 1.5 million units in three months.

Secondly, the actual sales volume is more than twice.

Yike Mars is expanding with the expansion of China Unicom's 3G pilot cities.

Based on the strong promotion of operators and the high enthusiasm of online and offline distribution, Liu Qiangdong's data "total sales of 32ars is 2.04 million units, and the second generation is 1.22 million units" made colleagues around the world couldn't help but talk about it.

How could it be so much?

How could it be so much?

3.26 million in two and a half months!

The potential of the Chinese market is greater than expected, and Yike is clearly the first or second in the global market.

Even if 60% of them are old models, it is still very impressive!

This is because China's 3G business has not been fully launched!

Liu Qiangdong had to interrupt the report and accept everyone's discussion and applause.

In fact, Yike achieved a million sales in China at the end of August with the promotion of the Olympic Games, and the sales in September and October were 3.26 million with a healthy curve.

When the meeting was calm, he went on to talk about the reasons for Yike's achievements.

Yike's performance in the Chinese market is also a microcosm of the global market, but due to local factors, it has more shares than Nokia, Sony Ericsson, LG, and Samsung in other markets!

The mobile phone industry under the financial crisis has lowered its global shipment expectations, but Yike and Apple's shipments are still growing, and the traditional ones are naturally hurt.

What Liu Qiangdong said is the local similarities and differences in the overall trend.

After he finished his report, Yu Hong turned her head and closed the microphone to praise Fang: "I didn't expect that this e-commerce guy would do well in the mobile phone business."

"Hey, Pan Ben is also an investor, isn't he also doing well in the mobile phone business?" Fang Zhuo smiled.

The person in charge of Yike's European business is Vice President Pan Ben, who came from IDG and was previously in charge of the US business under Yu Hong, and has now moved to Europe.

The second person to report was Pan Ben.

He first talked about the progress of Yike's cooperation with new operators in the UK. After Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone became Yike's second partner, basically continuing the cooperation with Deutsche Telekom.

This cooperation was reached at the end of September, which will help further expand sales in the UK.

Then, Pan Ben reported the sales performance since the release of the mobile phone at the end of June.

From July to October, Yike's second-generation Mars sold 3.38 million units, and the previous generation model also sold 1.16 million units after the price reduction, totaling 4.54 million units.

This result is still excellent and is quite dazzling in today's mobile phone market.

Just as colleagues around the world applauded for this, the door of the conference room was knocked and pushed open by secretary Liu Zonghong. He walked quickly to the boss and informed him of the latest situation in his ear.

Soon, Fang Zhuo handed the meeting over to co-founder Yu Hong to preside over.

Although President Yu is also qualified and capable of presiding over such a meeting, President Fang's temporary exit still made executives wonder, what happened? Nokia came to the door? LG kidnapped the company's people?

Yu Hong didn't know the situation either. She suppressed her inner fluctuations and signaled Pan Ben to continue this important meeting.

On the other side, Fang Zhuo walked out of the meeting room quickly and asked Liu Zonghong to confirm the accuracy of the news again.

After a while, Liu Zonghong confirmed that Kong Yu, the head of the MIGA Fund, was taken away by the FBI to assist in the investigation!

This news was undoubtedly very heavy, so Liu Zonghong had to interrupt Mr. Fang's important meeting.

"FBI, this name is really not small." Fang Zhuo sat in the office and pondered the changes in things. Gasoline people have always been cautious. What is the flaw? To what extent is the flaw?

"The lawyer is on the way and will soon know the specific situation." Liu Zonghong reported after pouring tea for the boss.

Fang Zhuo nodded slightly, and the shock caused by the reputation of this organization subsided. He turned to consider friends from all walks of life-your money-making tools have problems, so you have to contribute?

But you also have to know what the situation is before mobilizing people.

About an hour later, the latest information came.

This is a large-scale investigation launched by the FBI since the beginning of the year. Well-known investment banks Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and several hedge funds are all included in the investigation. They cooperate with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), focusing on accounting fraud, loan securitization, insider trading and other issues.

The reason why Kong Yu was asked to assist in the investigation is because MIGA Fund once cooperated with Goldman Sachs on CDO.

"Really assisting in the investigation?" Fang Zhuo was a little surprised.

Liu Zonghong was very cautious and did not speak, fearing that his words would cause his boss to misjudge.

He felt that Mr. Kong could still try to save him.

"Change a cup of tea, and then pay attention to new news." Fang Zhuo asked the secretary to leave the office, and then began to call friends who had already counted. This seemed to be purely affected by the investigation of Goldman Sachs, which should not be difficult to solve.

After ten minutes of calling, Fang Zhuo called Liu Zonghong in and asked him to continue to pay attention to the news, and then went back to preside over the Yike meeting.

Liu Zonghong sat in the office, his mind fluctuating. In any case, it involved the FBI, which must be a big deal!

Half an hour later, the boss's cell phone rang.

Liu Zonghong answered the call and heard the voice of Mr. Kong himself.

"Mr. Fang..."

He hurriedly said, "Mr. Kong, it's me, Xiao Liu, Mr. Fang is in a meeting."

"Is it about the fund?" Kong Yu's voice was a little tired and a little frightened, "I'm taking a flight to Silicon Valley now and will arrive in the afternoon."

Liu Zonghong couldn't bear to tell the situation at this time, and replied vaguely, "Well, Mr. Kong, Mr. Fang is waiting for you at the R&D center."

Kong Yu didn't hang up the phone immediately, but continued, "There is another situation, you can talk to Mr. Fang later..."

He switched to dialect and said, "Xiao Bao seems to be in a similar situation."

Liu Zonghong didn't know who the person in Mr. Kong's dialect was, but he knew that the boss must know.

He remembered it firmly and hesitated again and again after hanging up the phone, but interrupted the boss's Yike meeting again.

This time, Fang Zhuo did not leave, but said that he would continue the meeting if he knew the situation.

Yike's global meeting lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon.

This meeting is quite important. Since its official launch last year, the two generations of Yike mobile phones have more than 20 million users worldwide. Compared with Nokia's annual shipments of 400 to 500 million mobile phones, even if it is still a minority, it has become an important part of the global mobile phone industry.

Such mobile phone users are users of the Android camp, that is, users who can increasingly ignite touch screens and smart products.

In order to commemorate this stage of user scale, Yike will launch another mobile game "Temple Run" at the end of November to help everyone cheer for Christmas.

After the meeting, Yu Hong asked what emergency situation had occurred.

"No big deal, it's a little situation at the fund. Kong Yu is fine now and is flying to Silicon Valley now." Fang Zhuo was very calm.

Yu Hong looked left and right, confirmed that this was really calm, and did not ask any more questions. Yike's main competitors at Christmas this year have become two, one is Apple and the other is Samsung, which is still stressful.

Fang Zhuo left the meeting room, sat in the office, and made another call.

The code that Kong Yu mentioned refers to the big short John Paulson, because now there is a financial steward who is also used to calling Paulson, so the communication between the two is the referee Big Paulson, the short Xiao Paulson.

As for the situation that Kong Yu mentioned, it is nothing more than involving CDO contracts.

Before the crisis broke out, Paulson and MIGA Fund both gave money to Goldman Sachs, and made CDO in the name of Goldman Sachs and made profits from it, but later the crisis became more and more obvious, and MIGA Fund stopped, and Paulson did it for a little longer.

The procedures are all legal.

However, despite this, although Paulson should not have any problems, considering the information of customers, Fang Zhuo still does not want this matter to continue to spread.

Paulson does not know the true identity of his own funds, but he can still make a profit from him.

Based on this consideration, Fang Zhuo followed suit and believed that the rights and interests of customers must be protected.

When Kong Yu arrived in Silicon Valley, Xiao Bao over there was also safe.

"Mr. Fang..." Kong Yu saw Mr. Fang, and his heart was finally completely relieved!

He suddenly realized one thing. It would be safer for him to stay with Mr. Fang instead of flying around like this and being suspicious!

This is the safest place in the world!

"Mr. Kong is frightened. It's okay. We have already asked clearly. It's an investigation of Goldman Sachs CDO." Fang Zhuo personally poured tea for Kong Yu and comforted the fund manager who was in and then rescued.

He added: "There is no big situation with Paulson. His hedge funds are also within the legal framework."

Kong Yu choked: "Mr. Fang..."

Fang Zhuo knew that Kong Yu was scared this time, and comforted him again: "Don't worry, nothing will happen, it's very safe."

Kong Yu hesitated and said: "Mr. Fang..."

Fang Zhuo said: "You said, there are only two of us here, you can say anything."

"I want to go back to China..." Kong Yu really said it.

Fang Zhuo rejected it without hesitation: "Please change the proposal."

Kong Yu: "..."

He said with some difficulty: "We really have enough money this time."

Fang Zhuo said sternly: "What do you mean by enough? The customers still need you to actively help them to heal the damage they have suffered. Can you just abandon them and return to China? I can promise you..."

Kong Yu thought that it would be fine as long as Mr. Fang agreed, but he was afraid that Mr. Fang would agree with his mouth but not agree in his heart.

"But the customers will not agree." Fang Zhuo frowned and hesitated, "How about this, Kong Yu, you can go to Chicago for a visit. It is safer there than here. You can go in with your left foot and come out with your right foot."

He continued: "You can also go to Europe for a visit and investigate the situation in Greece. I heard that the CDS there is very good."

Kong Yu was silent. Mr. Fang, don't tell me the inside information anymore. I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen...
