The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

   Chapter 496 495. Mr. Cao is still very good at communicating

   "What, are you going to have dinner with Yanagawa Shi?" A full-fledged, but slightly old-fashioned voice came from the other end of the phone.

  Cao Yang laughed, "Yes, Mr. Ni, he has invited me several times. Everyone is an entrepreneur, and you can't see it when you look up. You have to meet many entrepreneurs' meetings, and you can't justify it if you always refuse."

   Hearing that Cao Yang was coming to the banquet, the old professor Ni Guangnan was not very happy, but told Cao Yang to be careful on the phone.

  Ni Guangnan is an honest man compared to Yanagawa Zhi. Yanagawa Zhi knows how to buy people's hearts and find out the needs of others.

  Lenovo was almost on the verge of bankruptcy many times, and it was Yanagawa Zhi who was slowly revitalizing it through personal connections and pinpointing the needs of others.

   You can't say that because he was a country-hating party in his previous life, he denied his own ability.

  Lao Liu is a person who is very charming and understands human nature.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to cut a **** path from that era, and still be able to make Lenovo what it is today, and finally be able to acquire IBM's notebook computer business. Many people think that Lao Liu is really the light of China and an entrepreneur. role model.

  Especially now when the retired Yanagawa Zhi is back at the helm of Lenovo, he has successfully turned the tide against the background of the global financial crisis and brought Lenovo back to life, which has become a myth in the Chinese Internet industry.

  At least up to now, the domestic praise for him is far greater than the voices who questioned him.

   The above are also favored by this person.

  You have to say that Lao Liu is impossible to do this without the ability.

Therefore, Ni Guangnan reminded Cao Yang many times to be careful, not to be trapped in it, let alone to join forces with people like Lao Liu. He should still be a good national entrepreneur and be able to build China's high-tech industry. This is the biggest contribute.

   Ni Guangnan had suffered losses and was fooled. Originally, he wanted to make a good career and build China's chip business. Don't be caught in the neck by other countries. Who knew that Yanagawa Zhi was directly kicked out of Lenovo.

   If Cao Yang didn't find him and let him come out again, Ni Guangnan still doesn't know what the future of the chip is.

   He is very optimistic about Cao Yang, and he likes Cao Yang very much as a young man, so he doesn't want Cao Yang to suffer losses and be deceived by Yanagawa Zhi.

   "Okay, Mr. Ni, I already know, don't worry, it's just a meal."

   Cao Yang made this call to him in order to inform him in advance and let him understand his position.

   Otherwise, with Cao Yang's current status, whoever he wants to eat with does not need the consent of a third party.

   Ni Lao talked to him for a while, then hung up the phone.

  …

It is not a day or two for Yanagawa Zhi to have a meal appointment. For him, it would be shameful not to have a meal with Cao Yang alone. After all, as the chairman of the Chinese Entrepreneurs Club, Cao Yang is also a Chinese entrepreneur, although he did not join Club, but a meal is always the way to go, right?

   You don't even have this face, where is Yanagawa Shi's face?

   What's more, Yanagawa Zhi's approach to Cao Yang was not a simple meal, he really wanted to bring Cao Yang to join him.

  Three purposes:

   First, let Cao Yang join the Taishan Society.

   Now Taishan will have many members, which can be regarded as the largest merchant organization in China and even in the world.

   But Cao Yang is the richest man in the world. You don't have the richest man in the world in the Taishan Club, so I always feel a little awkward.

   Even if Lao Liu himself does not think that Cao Yang will start a new business and set up an imperial city or other business organization or something, his strength here is a threat.

   There is a saying that is very good-

   Greatness is original sin.

For country to country, if there is a strong country in your neighboring lands, whether or not he wants to invade you, occupy you, beat you, but as long as it exists and is strong, it will give you a very Terrible oppression, and you instinctively feel threatened.

   This is the case with Bomi now.

   What's more, they really stepped on Lao Liu's territory.

Seeing that the new laptops on Bomi's side will be on sale next month, no matter whether they really have the R&D strength to make laptops, and whether they can really **** Lenovo's market, as long as Bomi's company is big enough , Lenovo employees, including compatriots in other commercial streets will think so——

  Bomi is obviously going to declare war on Lenovo and want to replace Lenovo.

   As for whether Cao Yang really thinks so, it doesn't really matter anymore.

   So the top priority is to draw Cao Yang in, everyone should not confront and consume each other, but cooperate seriously to do business and eat cakes. This is the most important thing.

   Second, let Cao Yang join CEC, which is the Chinese Entrepreneurs Club, and become a member of it.

  Lao Liu is also the chairman of CEC now, for the same reason as above.

  Why there are both Taishan Club and CEC? In fact, these two things seem to be similar in nature, but they are actually different.

  The Taishan Association is equivalent to a small private organization, with a larger scope of CEC.

  The Taishan Association is a small organization for the benefit of its own people. CEC is for better business control and better joint entrepreneurs to fight for wider rights and interests.

   One is one's own person, the other is one's own person plus more one's own person, the nature is not the same.

   But since Lao Liu is the chairman of CEC, of ​​course he has to find a way to get Cao Yang in.

  Otherwise, there is no such thing as the most powerful entrepreneur in the Chinese Entrepreneur Club, which feels like a joke.

  Bomi doesn't participate, it doesn't make sense for you to have a meeting by yourself.

   Take this time Bomi company wants to engage in the notebook computer business, even if the Taishan Society expresses strong protests and anger about this behavior, you can't do anything about Bomi.

There are even a lot of companies that although the team is Lao Liu on the bright side, but they are not seen in Lenovo's supply chain, so they do a good business with Bomi, and Bomi will give whatever material he wants. How to process it.

   After all, the first priority of a business is to survive, and people also want to make money.

  If you Lao Liu could buy more domestic products, it wouldn't be what it is now.

   So Yanagawa Shi turned a blind eye to this, both angry and helpless.

The third reason    went to Cao Yang for dinner was to negotiate with him about the laptop market and divide it up clearly.

   In fact, from the perspective of Yanagawa Zhi’s personal wishes, he did not want to share this cake with Cao Yang at all, because Lenovo Group is the monopoly of the notebook computer business in China.

   Even Shenzhou Computer was separated from Lenovo.

   Others still have part of the equity in Lenovo's hands.

   So the Lenovo family is basically the only one in China, and now suddenly a Bomi comes out, it's really a toothache.

   Lao Liu's body is not very good. After Bomi's notebook conference last year, his heart hurt so much that he didn't sleep for several nights.

  …

   After many efforts, with the help of Liu Zhiping from Bomi, Yanagawa Zhi finally facilitated this dinner.

  Why is Liu Zhiping's help?

  Because Liu Zhiping is Bomi's vice president and also Bomi's second-in-command, he has the right to advise on other businesses except for the company's game department.

   And the Bomi strategic department established by Liu Zhiping is mainly responsible for the company's investment and strategic operations. To put it bluntly, it is to use Bomi's money to do business outside.

   Liu Zhiping was able to act as this middleman mainly because of Goldman Sachs.

   He previously worked at Goldman Sachs and served as the head of Goldman Sachs in Asia.

   was later poached by Bomi, and now the person in charge has been replaced by Yanagawa Chi's niece.

   It is precisely because of this relationship with Goldman Sachs that Liu Zhiping helped to match up.

   In general, Liu Zhiping is not quite the same as Cao Yang. His capitalist thinking is heavier, and he is more similar to Yanagawa Zhi.

   After all, for them, capital has no borders, and everyone helps each other, and it is uncertain when they will be able to use each other.

   So it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy. Sometimes getting to know people, and having a wide network of people is itself a strategic resource.

   After all, business still depends on people.

  …

   Cao Yang admired Liu Zhiping's management and investment skills, and also needed him, but he did not have much disagreement with him, so he agreed to this dinner.

  Yagawa Zhi treated the guests, only Cao Yang and him.

  I ate at the most famous western restaurant in Imperial Capital, a Michelin three-star high-end restaurant from Italy called LaPergola. This restaurant opened in Imperial Capital last year, and many rich people have come here to experience it.

  The whole restaurant is very luxurious and looks very classy.

  On the first floor, there is a special person playing the piano, which is full of a strong taste of money.

   "Mr. Cao is really a talented person. It's been almost three months since we last met, right?" Yanagawa Zhi sat across from him and said with a smile.

The last time we met was because the President of the Republic of China invited Chinese entrepreneurs to gather and wanted to talk about investment promotion. Top companies such as Lenovo and Bomi were invited, so Cao Yang was not the first time to talk to Yanagawa Zhi. Have dinner together.

   It’s just like today, it’s really the first time that there are only two people eating alone.

   "Yeah." Cao Yang said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, you have such a good memory, and the more you live, the younger you look. It looks like you are in your 40s."

  After the appetizers were served, the waiter served everyone a plate of steak.

   "Wherever I am, I am also forced to be helpless. I have already retired, and I have to go back to work in the company due to the financial crisis. This body can't bear it at all."

  Yagawa Zhi smiled and said, "I'm taking medicine every day now, and I have a heart attack, and I'm always in pain. I don't know how long I can live."

  Yagawa Shi was born in 1944 and is now 65 years old.

   does look a bit old.

   But Cao Yang's remarks made him very happy.

   "Where, there is no problem for at least 30 years." Cao Yang responded with a smile.

  30 years may be a bit false, but 20 years is not a big problem. At least in 2021, Lao Liu is still alive and well, and there are no major disasters and minor illnesses.

  …

  The financial crisis of 2008 has indeed had a great impact on the whole world.

  Lenovo was the first to bear the brunt, and its sales were cut in half. It’s normal to think about it. People in many countries can’t even eat, and there’s no spare money to buy laptops.

  Fortunately, the economy has begun to recover recently, and it has gradually gained some good momentum.

   In addition, Yanagawa has opened up a lot of new market areas, and there are countries behind it, so Lenovo is now alive.

  Lenovo has received orders from many departments, whether it is an agency, a school, or even a hospital... As long as it is not a private enterprise, it will give priority to Lenovo's laptops when purchasing.

On the one hand, the above is consciously trying to help this national enterprise to tide over the difficulties. On the other hand, there are not many good choices. In fact, many secret agencies do not dare to buy foreign products. They must buy domestic computers, which were mainly given by the United States before. Scared of the pit.

   In order to save unnecessary expenses, Lenovo also cut off its own mobile phone department.

  It is in this situation that Lenovo has come through the most difficult period step by step.

   Now that the situation has improved, and the financial crisis has come to an end, Yanagawa Zhicai lives a little more nourished.

   Hearing Yanagawa Shi’s story about Lenovo’s experience over the past year, Cao Yang only felt amused.

   "Mr. Liu, you are really amazing. Come and let me toast you."

  Cao Yang raised his glass and touched him.

   Two people drank it.

  Yagawa Zhi saw Cao Yang being so savvy, and his eyes changed.

   "I can't compare to Mr. Liu, and I don't have the ability to turn the tide, so our company has been relatively dull for more than a year." Cao Yang said with a smile.

   On the other hand, Bomi Company is a god-like existence in this economic crisis.

   Just before the financial crisis, there was a wave of listing circles, which directly lifted Cao Yang from an ordinary entrepreneur to the throne of the world's richest man, and perfectly avoided the negative impact of the subsequent financial crisis.

   And when the financial crisis came, Bomi bought a lot of high-quality stocks at a low price in the Omi market with the money raised by others, and now they are making a lot of money.

   Just investing in this wave of Apple can reap at least 400% of the profit.

Uh……

This……

  Young people are really getting more and more excessive, and they don’t know how to restrain themselves.

  Do you call this [being insipid]?

  You call this the inability to turn the tide?

   If I can do this, why should I try to turn the tide?

   President Liu's heart is filled with endless grief!

   is really different from the same person.

   Lao Liu definitely wouldn't think it was Cao Yang's vicious vision and clever tactics, he could only say that this young man was lucky.

   The two exchanged for a while. President Liu did not give Cao Yang a chance to continue showing off. He just sighed about the financial crisis and forcibly extinguished the topic.

  Yagawa Zhi greeted Cao Yang, "Come on, Mr. Cao, I'll give you a toast."

  Cao Yang raised the cup and touched him.

  Then the two of them looked at each other, smiled and drank.

  Yagawa Shi silently sighed in his heart——

   This opening has a good atmosphere.

   Cao Yang, this young man is still very good at communicating.

  …
