Chapter 807 ambition

The trans-ocean conference call with the BBK team across the ocean was over 7 pm.

Chen Qing carefully reviewed today's work log and the meeting memo just now, and confirmed that there were no omissions. Then she signaled Lily Farville, who acted as an assistant next to her, to help organize the documents.

This is an ordinary compartment in a corner of the employee office area on the first floor of Scooper Headquarters.

Before Chen Qing's team took over, in order to save as much as possible, more than 60 employees of Scooper had been crowding in the inconspicuous two-story office building in Milpitas. The first floor was the employee office area, and the second floor was mainly a laboratory for various expensive equipment and instruments. Before that, only Ceaboy Bill Omela had a single office.

Leaving the compartment, another Viagra, who was pulled to act as an assistant, gestured to her in front of the conference room not far away, indicating that everyone had arrived.

Most of Scooper's ordinary employees have already gotten off work, and only a few core members of Chen Qing's team and Bill Omela and other management are still there, waiting for her to hold her last summary meeting before getting off work.

I got up at around five in the morning and was busy all day. If I say I wasn't tired, it would be a lie.

However, Chen Qing still remained excited in her spirit.

Nodding to Christina, Chen Qing picked up the coffee cup next to her and walked through the office area and walked into the conference room. She sat down near the door, glanced around, and said directly: "I have contacted Mountain View City, and there is plenty of office space there. We can move the company as a whole at any time. The hardware and software environment of the Egret Park is better than this, which can greatly improve everyone's work efficiency. Bill, you can go over and choose the right venue tomorrow. This is one thing. Next, Aiman, please introduce the company's financial situation first."

To be precise, the plot surrounded by Simon in Mountain View is only the area exclusive to the headquarters of Igrit Company. However, during the development process, many additional office buildings planned to be rented for enterprises around Igrit Company were built in the entire area.

As a result, the area of ​​Mountain View City was gradually called the Egret Park as the entire place.

Several former management staff present showed an expression of expectation when they heard Chen Qing say this.

The company's headquarters moved from Milpitas to Mountain View City, which is equivalent to a part entering the core area of ​​Silicon Valley, which once again proves the Westeros system's emphasis on Scooper.

Emmanuel Brandt, who just took up the position of chairman of Scooper today, did not say anything unusual. After hearing Chen Qing's statement, he began to introduce Scooper's financial situation after the re-examination today. Including the remaining funds raised by IPO last year and the upcoming $20 million loan, as well as part of the cash obtained from his own operations, Scooper's available funds are currently about $33 million.

Such a sum of money is equivalent to twice the cost of developing a VCD in China Wanyan Group.

Wanyan Group officially launched VCD to the market last year, but because of its dismal sales, it is actually unsustainable. Even if VCD sales have been rising steadily this year, a large part of them is the result of other companies entering the market.

Scobo and Wan Yan cooperated closely during the development of the VCD. However, when Chen Qing returned to China during the New Year, she specially rushed to Anhui to visit the company. The conclusion was that Wan Yan Group had considerable technical accumulation, but unfortunately, the product operation was a mess.

Moreover, this company has some state-owned backgrounds, which even further dispelled Chen Qing's idea of ​​continuing to cooperate with the other party. She didn't want her plan to be pulled back by messy troubles during the progress of her plan.

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

At this stage, China has 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 at the business history of China in the 1990s, it is often inseparable from the word "marketing".

The super rich people who started from scratch in the 1990s were basically marketing masters. Many of them passed on this business gene until many years later. The most typical one was the blue and green factories that seemed to be everywhere. Other mobile phone manufacturers quarreled with each other in various ways to find market share. Only the two ov companies followed their old-fashioned operation techniques that had been passed down for decades and made a fortune in a muffled manner.

33 million US dollars of funds are enough for Scooper to develop a new generation of video decoding chips while carrying out a comprehensive upgrade of current VCD technology.

At this stage, only Scooper can produce video decoding chips for the heart, which are completely exclusive. Other core components such as laser reading head can be produced by Japanese, Korean, European and American manufacturers, and are very substitutable. Therefore, as long as the video decoding chip is further upgraded and a complete VCD complete machine solution is developed, the possibility of other manufacturers following up in the short term will be completely cut off. The profit distribution of the VCD industry will be completely decided by Scooper.

Of course, in order not to cause collective rebound from veteran manufacturers, Chen Qing still plans to purchase laser reading first-class components from Sony, Philips and other manufacturers in the future as the supporting standards for Scooper. Because it is not monopolistic, these manufacturers can only compromise with Scooper if they want to gain more market share.

Although his boss regards investing in the VCD industry as making quick money, the plan is also implemented, however, through the industry advantages in his hands, Scooper can try to continue to get a share of the pie in the future DVD era.

Video decoding chips are also essential for DVDs.

After introducing Scouber's financial situation, Chen Qing continued to confirm the next detailed plan with everyone.

Since he has been determined to abandon Wan Yan, Chen Qing has taken BBK as the key target of supporting the next stage.

Scooper will work closely with BBK. In the next three months, the first BBK brand vcd product based on the current video decoding chips will be launched in China, so that the company can familiarize itself with the products in advance and conduct early market cultivation.

At the same time, Scooper will immediately start the construction of a VCD component factory in China, and plan to produce optical disc reading system accessories with laser reading head as the core. Video decoding and optical disc reading are the two cores of VCD products and the two most profitable parts. By the end of the year, Scooper's complete machine solution will be completed, and the factories there can be put into production directly.

At that time, Scooper will provide these core accessories that are already semi-finished products to all Chinese manufacturers interested in entering the VCD industry.

Of course, there is also a complete machine solution.

If suppliers such as Sony and Philips want to squeeze into the VCD industry chain, they also need to get Scooper's consent and give up enough benefits.

It can be imagined that at that time, there will inevitably be manufacturers developing similar products to bypass Scooper's monopoly on video decoding chips. However, these competitors have been lagging behind at least two years. Even old giants like Sony, when they invest a lot of manpower and material resources, VCD is basically on the verge of elimination.

The summary meeting lasted for more than an 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 been quite familiar with some of the cores of Westeros system in Silicon Valley in recent months and has become good friends with the two girls C and D. The last time she investigated Scooper, Claire helped a lot in it.

This time when I came to San Francisco, I knew that Girl C was responsible for managing all the properties Simon had here. Chen Qing was not polite and took the initiative to ask if she could borrow a residence.

Claire did not refuse and arranged it quickly.

The location is in the Potola Valley bordering Woodside, occupying an entire hilltop manor, with three-story stone-built country-style villas resembling a castle.

It's a bit exaggerated.

I have visited the residence of Girl C in Atherton. In comparison, the luxury houses over there can only be described as simple as ordinary people.

So I couldn't help but call to ask if it was appropriate. The response I got was fine. My boss liked to lend the house to the women around me to live in, which would increase popularity. Girl C even joked that as long as you don't bring the man in, you can do whatever you want.

Chen Qing didn't think this was a joke at all.

However, men cannot do it, women should be fine.

Unable to resist some of the little thoughts of showing off, Chen Qing invited two other girls from the team to recruit some time ago, Emmanuel Brandt and Carla Hills to live in the manor here.

Two black cars entered the gate of the Potola Valley Manor in turn.

If the man is not there, 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 receive a reminder as soon as possible, and someone will arrive within five minutes. The video surveillance system, which does not have any blind spots, will also record all the information of the intruders.

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 heels quickly sounded on the wooden floor.

Even though he had been here for one night, Carla Hills looked around, and his eyes were still filled with a passion that was probably called longing. Emmanuel Brandt, who was six feet tall and red-haired, said directly: "I must buy such a house in the future."

After a busy day, even though they were very tired, the girls did not have the idea of ​​going to rest immediately.

Everyone turned to the living room next to the hall. Chen Qing, Lin Su, Emmanuel and Kara sat down on the sofa, but the four maids and guards were all very responsible and not so casual. They either prepared coffee for the girls, or expressed that they would go outside to patrol the manor defense, and they were all busy.

After catching a pillow and holding it comfortably in his arms, Chen Qing took off her high heels, curled up on the sofa, and said to Emmanuel with a smile: "Eman, with your ability, I believe that I can afford this luxury house soon."

Emmanuel Brandt was also curled up on the sofa like Chen Qing, but her 183cm tall figure and her aura was much stronger than Chen Qing in movements. This French girl who was full of aggressiveness in Leon Black's mouth was truly worthy of her name. Whether it was her red hair or her slender and toned figure, she was not inferior to most men.

However, the girl has a beautiful face that is soft and likes to apply provocative big red lip gloss, which seems to give her a bit of harmless disguise.

It's indeed a disguise.

Chen Qing has heard rumors about girls in the past few months since she worked in Apollo. She was recruited into the company completely as a vase. However, the facts prove that her strength is not at all.

This 29-year-old French girl graduated from the top European Institute of Technology Zurich, and is an alumni of Einstein. Moreover, her major in university is also physics. She is born with high IQ and received her PhD in particle physics at the age of 26. She originally planned to enter the European Nuclear Research Institute in Geneva according to her own preferences to continue exploring the mysteries of the universe. However, the insurance company run by the girl family went bankrupt due to the impact of the European currency crisis in 1992, which immediately turned the personality girl with a golden spoon into a bankrupt sister and had to choose to enter society to start working.

When you come to the United States, there is actually a factor in hiding debt.

Every family has a difficult sutra to recite.

Then, after only more than two years, relying on his smart brain and hard-working private study, Emmanuel Brandt quickly adapted to the atmosphere of Wall Street and performed wonderfully in the past few acquisitions of Apollo Management. After being attracted by Chen Qing, he also made the smartest choice as soon as possible.

Emmanuel Brandt was 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 be purchased. After hearing Chen Qing say this, the girl smiled and asked, "Chen, do you know what our boss is doing recently?"

Of course, Chen Qing knew who Emmanuel was talking about. Speaking of which, if Simon was in San Francisco, she would not have brought Emmanuel here no matter what. No one would take the initiative to cultivate competitors for herself.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing said, "I don't know, I won't be able to see him once a month or two."

He deliberately did not bring Lin Su next to him.

Lin Su, who was sitting next to Chen Qing, looked like she didn't care at all.

Emmanuel was a little surprised when he heard this, and his eyes slid around him: "No way?"

If Westeros was so cold to this oriental girl, how could he lend 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 realize that you might have been deceived?"

Emmanuel was stunned and smiled and shook his head: "Of course not."

During this period, Chen Qing's authority to operate the acquisition of Sgaobo is obvious to all, and there is no false investment in China. Even if a young tycoon is not very interested in the oriental girl's body, he will definitely trust her abilities.

This is also what Emmanuel likes more.

While chatting casually, the waitresses brought coffee, Kara Hills raised another topic: "Igret's employee stock ownership plan should have been completed. Didn't it mean that he would submit a prospectus recently? Why didn't there be any movement?"

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

Kara Hills said: "You mean, girl c, um, and girl d?"

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

Kara Hills said: "It should be Alice Ferguson. I think she is better than C and D. Amazon Online Mall, tsk, there is a special topic in "Business Weekly" that praises the development of this project in recent years. It is a miracle."

Emmanuel Brandt sipped the coffee and said, "I think Alice Ferguson is too radical. It's not much to cultivate the market in the early stage. It's like this for a long time. It's not sustainable at all, and it's too expensive. What she needs to do next is to put away this project, otherwise, Egret's e-commerce business will collapse sooner or later."

Seeing that Lin Su next to him had not spoken, Chen Qing deliberately took it over. Lin Su turned a blank look, smiled, and continued to say to the other two women: "I talked about this when I was chatting with Claire, and the boss kept staring at it. You can see why this videotape rental chain has almost gone bankrupt in the past two years. It is precisely because Blockbuster has optimized the warehousing and distribution system of the videotape to the extreme to save costs to the greatest extent. Therefore, while ensuring a considerable profit margin, it also has a price advantage that other leasing chains cannot match. Why are Walmart and 7-11 so successful? In the final analysis, the same is true. Amazon Online Mall is destined to develop in this direction. If Alice Ferguson cannot do it or is unwilling to do this, the boss will sooner or later replace people."

Carla Hills said: "It seems that Alice Ferguson will receive a 2% Egret equity reward this time. Is this true?"

Chen Qing nodded: "In fact, it is 3%, cash out 2%, and the remaining 1% will be paid in succession within the next contract period."

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

Emmanuel couldn't help but sigh.

3% of Igret stocks, calculated based on the current Igret valuation of US$100 billion, is US$3 billion.

Even if it only counts 2% of the cashing out this time, it will be $2 billion.

This is enough to occupy a very prominent position on the US 400 Rich List.

After the family business went bankrupt, Emmanuel Brandt, who had experienced a series of worldly and coldness, once did not value material things too much, inevitably had a strong desire for money. She did not know Alice Ferguson, but in this situation, she knew that she was actually very close to that man.

This is your own opportunity.

As long as you have a platform like the Alphabet Four Girls or women such as Alice Ferguson, Sophia Fessi, Emmanuels doesn't think she will be much worse than them.
