"Colon, here is the situation about the mainland company. Please take a look." The well-trained assistant staff brought up a thick document and placed it in front of the middle-aged man. Colon is the internal name of the company. In Hong Kong, an international port that is more than ten or even decades ahead of the mainland in both daily life and work, a professional manager has his own English name, and Nothing too strange. In the future, this trend also spread to large and small companies in first-tier cities in mainland China, especially foreign companies and multinational companies. It is very common for them to call each other by an English nickname internally. The name of this middle-aged man, the investment director of PCCW Investment Affairs Department, was originally named Karen Chan, so following the custom of Hong Kong people, colleagues around him took the last two characters of his name and called him colon in English. Of. "Let's put it here. By the way, let's send two people from the project team to pay as much attention as possible to Tencent. Although the amount of this investment is not large, it can even be said that it has almost no impact on the future of the company. Yes, but we still can't take it lightly, you know? Now it's not about whether the investment can go smoothly, but about our reputation. Being taken away by an unknown mainland company will make the senior management have doubts about our capabilities. Doubts arise." Chen Kelun confessed very seriously. Although in his heart, he did not think that Yang Yi culture could pose any threat to him, but be careful. This is a professional manager, especially a manager who exercises investment power like him. The most important quality of a person. This old man, who has worked at PCCW for more than ten years, can use his resume with no background and academic qualifications to compare with other colleagues at the same level. But he is still able to secure his position as head of the investment department, which relies on his extremely cautious character. "I understand." The assistant nodded respectfully. He withdrew, leaving him some space to think. In the end, Yangyi Culture learned about their investment intention from PCCW. Did you just notice Tengxun, or did you already have this plan before your company expressed its investment intention? Chen Kelun didn't know, but that didn't stop him from facing his opponent squarely. Although fighting in the business world is a very common situation, you can never understand what kind of mask your opponent is wearing and what the real purpose behind him is, but you are beaten up by someone so close to a face-to-face challenge. , he still felt uncomfortable. Of course, it also aroused his fighting spirit. In other words, it was a hope that after seeing the opponent fail, he realized that he was facing a behemoth like Telecom Yangke, and how ridiculous his previous behavior was. “It’s just that in the art of war, if you know your enemy and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles. Liu Kelun will definitely do all kinds of efforts before he completely obtains the right to invest in Tengxun. Moreover, when PCCW decided to invest in the mainland market, it had already developed a good intelligence system. In addition to some emerging companies in the industry in Shenzhen and Yangcheng, they also have a large number of companies such as Magic City and some in Beijing. Consulting information for political and business figures. In order to make the company's various targeted investment behaviors more targeted and not appear too blind. "Yangyi Culture the book publishing industry? It's really interesting. It's rare to see a company of this nature. It has a precedent of being interested in investing in a brand-new industry that has almost nothing to do with itself. Well, I just went through the policy last year. That's how it is in the Mainland. It's an unbearable habit to always find solutions to problems that can't be solved in the mall." Chen Kelun shook his head and said to himself. Just like a traditional Hong Kong Islander. He always has a habitual prejudice against various situations in the mainland. Although this prejudice will not make him look down on his opponents, if his mainland partners who have cooperated with him know about it, it will obviously not be a problem. Pleasant things. But then, he seemed to find something remarkable in each of these documents, and his eyes that were not paying much attention at first became very interested. This man, who could make a decision that could change the fate of many people in many companies, knocked on the documents on his desk and picked up the latest report at the bottom. This was received by their PCCW market observer in Shanghai. After the order from the headquarters, the information just collected yesterday was all about the various cooperation agreements reached at the meeting held by Yangyi Culture and the Modu City Government a year ago. "The nearly 20,000 square meters of land in Yangpu District are only used to build new headquarters and server center projects? So, they are indeed determined to show their strength in the Internet? So we really can't say that now They are making cross-border investments, but they started to do it after they were prepared" After reading the report, Chen Kelun pressed the call bell in front of his desk again, asked his assistant to come, and then ordered him to make his own decision.??. "Yes, I understand, so which personnel need to be transferred to this new investment project team?" The assistant lady's respectful question was obviously the greatest affirmation of Chen Kelun's ability. "Let Addison decide. Now his group has parallel rights with the original investment group, and is responsible to me at the same time. After the personnel transfer is completed, you can ask him to come and see me." Chen Kelun smiled, because of the high-intensity work The corners of his eyes, with crow's feet already faintly visible, glowed with a sparkle that was not belonging to a middle-aged man of his age. On the morning of the fourth day, Yang Yiben was waiting for the information collected by Xu Pengxiang, but when the phone rang and he answered the call, he found that it was a strange number he had never seen before. "Hey, who are you looking for?" In this era, harassment by mobile phones or wrong numbers rarely occur. After all, the overall number of mobile phone users is not as staggering astronomical as it was in later generations. This reduces the occurrence of the previous situations to a certain extent. After hearing his opening remarks, what came over the phone was a firm and powerful mandarin with a distinct southern accent: "Hello, is this Director Yang from Yangyi Culture? That's right, I'm PCCW Ma DiSheng, Project Specialist of the Investment Affairs Department. You can call me Addison. The reason for this call is that we, PCCW, are very interested in your upcoming Internet search engine project. If possible. Can I have a chance to meet with you and discuss it in detail? "PCCW?" This big company in Hong Kong that competed with me for Tengxun shares actually called me directly? I have to say that Yang Yi was really a little surprised. He was surprised not only at the smoothness of the other party's message, but also at the fact that the other party came to him directly, and it was not because of investment matters for Tengxun, but because he wanted to counterattack. Come and take advantage of Yangyi Network! However, the other party’s approach is also in line with the consistent style of large companies. Yang Yi hesitated for a moment. He smiled and shook his head and said: "Sorry, we are not very interested in external venture capital. At least Yangyi Culture's current profit situation can fully support the development needs of Yangyi Network, which is the Internet search engine project. , so I can only say I'm sorry for PCCW's kindness. " "I also know this. It can be said that Yangyi Culture's self-development ability is strong for any enterprise in the traditional cultural industry. It's incredible. But I think Mr. Yang, you may have underestimated the demand for funds in the Internet industry. According to your mainland, investing in the Internet is equivalent to burning money, and you are really so confident that you can guarantee your Internet. After the development project is launched, will you be responsible for supporting the progress of the project?" The voice on the phone was not offensive. But there is a sense of superiority unique to people from large companies, and it is not a big problem: "Actually, even if you meet with us, there will not be any trouble for you and your company. On the contrary, maybe after meeting After the meeting, will the two of us reach some kind of understanding or even cooperation intention due to consensus on certain issues? "I have to say that this Madison's tone is very good. If you look at it from another person, you will definitely not think that, Since the two companies have set their sights on the same investment target, they have launched a series of actions to target and prevent each other under the water. "Well, I must say that you have impressed me a little. After all, not everyone can say no to PCCW. Then, it is up to you to decide the specific time and place of the meeting. I think you also You know, we are completely unfamiliar with the place here and don’t know where to negotiate.” After thinking about it for a while, Yang Yi finally agreed to Madison’s request to meet. I am not interested in the other party's investment, but I want to use direct contact to see if I can learn about the other party's further preparations for investing in Tengxun through some scraps of information revealed by the other party. After the two agreed on a time and place, Yang Yi hung up the phone and began to think deeply about the possible consequences of this triangular dispute. Maybe the other party is really interested in the Internet search engine project, so they want to persuade themselves to accept their investment, or they may want to directly threaten or exchange other conditions for their investment in Tengxun to make them give up. This time investment. But no matter what the situation is, as long as the other party takes action, then you can also use the other party's series of behaviors to infer or even ascertain the degree of determination of PCCW in investing in Tencent, as well as the bottom line of their investment price. After making this decision, Yang Yi called Qiu Yuan and Xu Pengxiang respectively and told them the situation he encountered. Both of them have much more experience in business than the teenager., especially Xu Pengxiang, knows much more than Yang Yi about disputes in some industries and various overt and covert weapons, so after telling him what just happened, he can also give Yang Yi Some good suggestions on relevant aspects. In the evening, when the three of them met at the hotel, the other two did not gain much. After all, this was not their home court. It was a bit unrealistic to collect information about PCCW without any preparation. But even so, Qiu Yuan still learned some about Tengxun's financial situation through a person in charge of a certain paging station. (To be continued.
