After the trans-ocean conference call with the BBK team on the other side of the ocean, it was already more than 7 pm.

Chen Qing carefully reviewed today's work log and the meeting memo just now, and confirmed that there was no omission, and then signaled Lily Falwell, who was an assistant next to her, to help organize the documents.

This is an ordinary cubicle in the corner of the staff office area on the first floor of the Scoop Headquarters.

Before Chen Qing's team took over, in order to save as much money as possible, more than 60 employees of Scooby had been crowded in this humble two-story office building in Milpitas. A laboratory that houses all kinds of expensive equipment. Before that, only CEO Bill O'Meara had a single office.

Leaving the cubicle, Christina Latham, another Wei family maid who was pulled to act as an assistant, gestured to her in front of the conference room door not far away, indicating that everyone had arrived.

Most of Scober's ordinary employees have already left work, and only a few core members of Chen Qing's team and management such as Bill O'Meara are still there, waiting for her to hold her final summary meeting before leaving get off work.

I got up at 5:00 in the morning and had been busy all day. It would be a lie to say that I was not tired.

However, Chen Qing's spirit still remained high.

Nodding to Christina, Chen Qing picked up the coffee cup next to her and walked through the office area into the conference room, sat down near the door, glanced around, and said directly: "I have already talked to Mountain View. We have contacted over there, and there is sufficient office space there. We can relocate the company as a whole at any time. The hardware and software environment of the Eagle Park is stronger than that here, which can greatly improve everyone's work efficiency. Bill , you can go over and pick a suitable venue tomorrow. That's one thing. Next, Ayman, you can introduce the company's financial situation first."

To be precise, in the plot enclosed by Simon in Mountain View, only an area dedicated to the headquarters of Igreit is called Igreat Park. However, during the development process, the entire area was additionally built. A lot of office buildings planned to be leased to the surrounding companies of Igreit.

As a result, the area in Mountain View was gradually referred to as the Ygarret Park as a whole.

Several of the former Skober management present at the scene showed expectant expressions when they heard what Chen Qing said.

The move of the corporate headquarters from the corner of Milpitas to Mountain View is equivalent to stepping into the core area of ​​Silicon Valley, which once again proves the importance that the Westeros system places on Scooby.

Emmanuel Brandt, who just took the position of Skober chairman today, did not express anything unusual. After listening to Chen Qing, he began to introduce Skober's financial situation after today's re-examination. Counting the remainder of last year's IPO fundraising and the upcoming $20 million loan, as well as a portion of the cash from its own operations, Skober currently has about $33 million in available funds.

Such a sum of money is equivalent to twice the cost of research and development of vcd by China Wanyan Group.

Wanyan Group officially launched vcd to the market last year. Because of the bleak sales, it is actually unsustainable. Even if vcd sales have been rising steadily since this year, a large part of it is the result of other companies entering the market.

Scober and Wan Yan worked closely in the vcd research and development process. However, when Chen Qing returned to China during the new year, she went to Anhui to visit the company and came to the conclusion that Wan Yan Group has considerable technology Accumulation, but unfortunately, the product operation is a mess.

Moreover, this company has some state-owned assets background, which makes Chen Qing dispel the idea of ​​continuing to cooperate with the other party. She doesn't want to be hindered by messy troubles in the progress of her plan.

In comparison, the BBK team that has made Xiaobawang a 1 billion annual revenue in just a few years is what Chen Qing needs most.

At this stage of China, there is no shortage of market demand and product supply. What is really lacking is an excellent team that will make the market bigger and stronger.

Therefore, looking back on the business history of China in the 1990s is often inseparable from the word "marketing".

China's self-made super-rich in the 1990s are basically marketing masters. Many of them have passed on this business gene to many years later. The most typical example is the blue and green factories that seemed to be ubiquitous, and other mobile phone manufacturers. In order to gain market share in various ways to tear each other's ugly faces, only the ov two adhere to the old-fashioned operating methods that they have inherited for decades and make a fortune.

The $33 million fund is enough for Scooby to develop a new generation of video decoding chips and at the same time conduct a comprehensive upgrade of the current vcd technology.

At this stage, the vcd products, as the heart of the video decoding chip, can only be produced by the Skober family, which is completely exclusive. Other core components such as laser reading heads can be produced by Japanese, Korean and European manufacturers, and the substitutability is very strong. Therefore, as long as the further upgrade of the video decoding chip is completed and a complete vcd solution is developed, other manufacturers will be completely cut off. The possibility of follow-up in the short term, the profit distribution of the vcd industry, will be completely determined by the Scober family.

Of course, in order not to cause a collective backlash from established manufacturers, Chen Qing still plans to purchase components such as laser reading heads from Sony, Philips and other manufacturers in the future as Skober's supporting standards. Because of the lack of monopoly, these manufacturers can only compromise with Skober if they want to gain more market share.

Although his own boss regards investing in the vcd industry as a quick buck, and the plan is implemented in the same way, however, with the industry advantages in his hands, Skober can completely try to make d in the future.

The vd era continues to share a piece of the pie.

Video decoding chip is also necessary for DVD.

After Emmanuel Brandt introduced Scooby's financial situation, Chen Qing continued to confirm the next detailed plan with everyone.

Since it was decided to abandon Wan Yan, Chen Qing took backgammon as the key support object in the next stage.

Scooby will cooperate closely with BBK, and in the next three months, it will launch the first BBK brand vcd product based on the current video decoding chip technology in China, so that the company can be familiar with the product in advance and carry out early market cultivation. .

At the same time, Skober will immediately start the construction of a vcd component factory in China, and plans to produce optical disc reading system accessories with laser reading heads as the core. Video decoding and CD reading are the two cores of vcd products, and they are also the two most lucrative parts. By the end of the year, Scooby's complete machine solution will be completed, and the factory over there can be put into production directly.

At that time, Scooby will provide these core accessories, which are already semi-finished products, to all Chinese manufacturers who intend to enter the vcd industry.

Of course, there are also turnkey solutions.

If suppliers such as Sony and Philips want to squeeze into the vcd industry chain, they also need to obtain the consent of Skober and give up enough benefits.

It is conceivable that there will inevitably be manufacturers developing similar products in order to circumvent Scooby's monopoly on video decoding chips, but these competitors are at least two years behind. Even old giants like Sony, when they invested a lot of manpower and material resources and finally caught up with Skober, vcd basically came to the brink of elimination.

The wrap-up meeting lasted for another hour.

After the meeting, Chen Qing invited everyone to have dinner at a nearby restaurant. It was already late at night on the West Coast of the United States.

As a very sociable woman, Chen Qing has become quite familiar with some of the cores of the Westeros system in Silicon Valley in recent months, and has become good friends with girls C and D. Claire helped a lot in the last investigation of Scooby.

When she came to San Francisco this time, she knew that Lady C was in charge of all of Simon's properties here. Chen Qing was not polite and asked if she could borrow a place to live.

Claire didn't refuse, and it was quickly arranged.

Located in the Portola Valley bordering Woodside, it occupies an entire hilltop estate, and the three-story stone country-style villa resembles a castle.

Exaggeratedly large.

I have visited Lady C's residence in Atherton. In comparison, the mansion for ordinary people can only be described as simple.

So I couldn't help calling to ask if it was suitable. The response I got was no problem. The boss likes to lend the house to the women around him to live in, which can increase his popularity. Girl C also joked that as long as you don't bring men in, what do you want to do? Toss will do.

Chen Qingke didn't think it was a joke at all.

However, men can't, women should be fine.

Unable to hold back some bragging thoughts, Chen Qing invited Emmanuel Brandt and Carla Hills, two other girls from the recruiting team some time ago, to live in the manor here.

The two black cars entered the gate of the Portola Valley Manor in turn.

Without the man, there is no security in the guard room at the gate, but everyone is not worried at all.

The security system in this manor is directly connected to the Westeros family's security center in San Francisco and the nearby police station. If someone tries to break in, both parties will be alerted immediately, and someone will be there within five minutes. A video surveillance system that does not have any dead ends will also record all the information of the intruder.

The eight women got out of the car and entered the villa together.

The lights are on.

In the open hall, the crisp sound of high-heeled shoes quickly sounded on the wooden floor.

Even though she had stayed here for one night, Carla Hills looked around with a kind of eagerness in her eyes that could be called longing. Emmanuel Brandt, who was six feet tall and had red hair, was even more direct. Dao: "I must buy such a house in the future."

After a busy day, even though they are very tired, the girls have no idea of ​​taking a rest immediately.

Everyone turned to the living room next to the hall. Chen Qing, Lin Su, Emmanuel and Cara sat down on the sofa, but the four maids and guards were not so casual, or went to prepare for the girls. Coffee, or to go outside to inspect the defense of the manor, each busy.

She grabbed a pillow and hugged it comfortably in her arms, Chen Qing kicked off her high heels, curled up on the sofa, and said to Emmanuel with a smile: "Aiman, with your ability, I believe that you will be able to afford this soon. A mansion."

Emmanuel Brandt is also curled up on the sofa like Chen Qing, but her slender 183cm body has a much stronger aura than Chen Qing, who is full of aggressiveness in Leon Black's mouth. French girl, worthy of the name, whether it is her red hair or a slender and fit body, her aura is not lost to most men.

However, the girl has a soft and glamorous face, and likes to wear provocative red lip gloss, which seems to give her a little more harmless camouflage.

It is indeed a camouflage.

Chen Qing has heard rumors of a girl in the past few months of working at Apollo. She was recruited into the company as a vase at first. However, it turns out that her strength is not a vase at all.

This 29-year-old French girl graduated from the Zurich Institute of Technology, which ranks among the top in Europe, and is an alumnus of Einstein. Moreover, the girl's college major happened to be physics, and she was born with a high IQ.

She received a doctorate in particle physics at the age of 26. She originally planned to enter CERN in Geneva to continue exploring the mysteries of the universe according to her own preferences. However, the insurance company run by the girl's family was hit by the European currency crisis in 1992 and went bankrupt. All of a sudden, this individual girl with a golden spoon was reduced to a bankrupt sister, and she had to choose to enter the society and start working.

When you came to the United States, there was actually a factor of avoiding debt.

Every family has its cupboard.

Then, in just over two years, relying on his bright brain and private hard work, Emmanuel Brandt quickly adapted to the atmosphere of Wall Street, and has been wonderful in Apollo Management's past acquisitions. Performance, after being spotted by Chen Qing, she also made the smartest choice for the first time.

Emmanuel Brandt is very confident, but not arrogant. She just sighed that she was born in a wealthy family. However, before the Brandt family went bankrupt, the total assets could only buy the current manor. That's all, after hearing what Chen Qing said, the girl smiled and asked, "Chen, what is our boss doing recently, do you know?"

Chen Qing certainly knew who Emmanuel was talking about. Speaking of which, if Simon was in San Francisco, she would not have brought Emmanuel here anyway, and no one would take the initiative to cultivate competitors for themselves.

Thinking so, Chen Qing said: "I don't know, I may not see him once in a month or two."

In his words, he deliberately did not bring Lin Su next to him.

Lin Su, who was sitting beside Chen Qing, didn't seem to care at all.

When Emmanuel heard the words, he was a little surprised, and his eyes rolled around: "No way?"

If Westeros was so indifferent to this oriental girl, how could she have lent her this luxurious manor to live in?

Chen Qing just shrugged, saw the French girl's thoughts again, and said with a smile: "Did you suddenly react, maybe you have been deceived?"

Emmanuel was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "Of course not."

During this period of time, Chen Qing's authority to operate the Scooby acquisition case is obvious to all, as well as the investment in China, which cannot be faked. Even if a young tycoon is not very interested in this Oriental girl's body, he definitely trusts her abilities.

Emmanuel is more fancy, and this is also the point.

Chatting casually, the waitresses brought coffee, and Kara Hills brought up another topic: "Igarret's employee stock ownership plan should have been completed, didn't it say that the prospectus will be submitted recently, why is there no movement? already?"

Chen Qing shook her head: "I don't know either, but after these few days of work, maybe we can have a meal together and chat, and we should know."

Kara Hills said: "You mean, C girl, um, and D girl?"

Chen Qing smiled and nodded: "Yeah. a is by the boss, b is in New York, and c and d are both in San Francisco."

Carla Hills said: "There should be Alice Ferguson, I think she is more powerful than C and D, Amazon online store, tsk, "Business Week" has a feature, praising this project in recent years The development is nothing short of a miracle.”

Emmanuel Brandt sipped his coffee and said, "I think Alice Ferguson is too aggressive. It's not a big deal to cultivate the market in the early stage. It's not sustainable in the long run, and it's too expensive. The next thing she needs to do is to put the project away, otherwise, sooner or later Igret's e-commerce business will collapse."

Seeing that Lin Su, who was next to him, kept silent, Chen Qing deliberately walked over. Lin Su gave him a white look, smiled, and continued to say to the other two women, "I mentioned this when I chatted with Claire and the others, and the boss has been staring at it. Look at you. Just look at Blockbuster. Why this video tape rental chain has almost bankrupted other competitors in the past two years is precisely because Blockbuster has optimized the video tape storage and distribution system to the extreme, saving costs to the greatest extent. Therefore, It also has a price advantage that other rental chains can't match while guaranteeing a comparable profit margin. Why are Walmart and 7-Eleven so successful, in the final analysis. Amazon online store is destined to develop in this direction, if Alice Ferguson If you can't do it, or don't want to do it, the boss will change people sooner or later."

Kara Hills said: "It seems that Alice Ferguson can get 2% of the Igrit equity reward this time. Is this true?"

Chen Qing nodded: "Actually it's 3%, 2% will be redeemed first, and the remaining 1% will be paid in the next contract period."

When Kara Hills heard this, her eyes widened a bit. Her appearance was much more ordinary than the other girls present. She was about 1.7 meters tall, with a slightly square face, but a pair of pure blue eyes that looked very beautiful. .

Emmanuel couldn't help but let out a sigh.

3% of Igreit's stock, calculated according to the current IPO valuation of Igreat of US$100 billion, is US$3 billion.

Even if you only count 2% of this cashout, that's $2 billion.

This is enough to occupy a fairly prominent position on the 400 richest people in the United States.

After the family business went bankrupt, Emmanuel Brandt, who had experienced a series of turbulent world conditions, who used to be less materialistic, inevitably developed a strong thirst for money. She didn't know Alice Ferguson, but in this situation, she knew that she was actually very close to the man.

This is your chance.

As long as she has a platform like Alphabet Four, or women like Alice Ferguson, Sophia Fisher, etc., Emmanuels doesn't think she's much worse than them.
