Chapter 607: The Boss’s Cocktail Party
In the evening when fiery clouds crossed the sky, a passenger plane took off from Kyoto and landed in Shanghai.
Feng Shirong led his team out of the airport hall and got into the car. His secretary was also in the car. According to the previously prepared documents, he reported to him about the actions of the Feng Group in the past week.
"Boss Feng, we have already completed half of the layoffs, and 8 percent of the people have been successfully optimized."
"There are also three sunset projects like the printing factory that have been cut off. This set of actions is expected to save 30% of cash flow."
"In addition, structural adjustments have already begun, and the company has begun to reduce its burden in all aspects and transform into the new commercial real estate field."
Feng Shirong nodded, feeling satisfied with the company's actions during this period.
After Qin Jingqiu left Feng Group, she left behind a lot of baggage. These baggage were not only not conducive to the development of the group, but also became a burden, so they had to be abandoned.
There are also those sunset industries that no longer have any growth potential, and by cutting them off and cashing out they can quickly raise funds.
Feng's family now has only two goals left: to invest in the Internet and catch up with the trend of changing times, while also moving quickly into new commercial real estate.
The reason he went to Kyoto this time was to see the site to be built of Feng's real estate project [Joy City].
In addition, he also made a special trip to inspect the Wanzhong Shopping Mall in Kyoto.
After he came back, he went to visit the one in Shanghai that was packed with people and was greatly shocked. As for the one in Kyoto, he fell into deep thought after visiting it.
The construction period of the two shopping malls was less than three years apart, but the one in Kyoto is superior to the one in Shanghai in terms of architecture, layout and overall planning.
He felt that there must be an expert guiding Qin Jingqiu.
But in fact, both Wanzhong in Shanghai and Wanzhong in Kyoto were evolved based on the core concept of Jiang Qin’s mall 3.0 manual.
The reason for the gap is that Shanghai, as the first pilot city, adopted a relatively simplified model.
However, the success of Wanzhong in Shanghai gave Qin's Real Estate and Wanzhong Group enough confidence, so they increased investment in the construction of Kyoto Wanzhong, gradually upgrading the structure and style.
In other words, even the one in Kyoto is not complete yet.
What is the real complete form? It is the Wanshanghui project that Qinshi Real Estate and Wanzhong Group are working closely together to develop.
However, Feng Shirong has now made up his mind and decided to develop Joy City based on the Wanzhong in Kyoto.
At this moment, the secretary sitting next to him handed over an invitation.
"Mr. Feng, I have received the invitation to the Internet Conference. Do you want to go?"
"Go ahead. If you want to invest in the Internet, you have to expand your network of contacts."
"Madam mentioned to me today that if it's convenient for you, can you bring her nephew with you?"
"Well, let's call Wen Zhao as well."
Since Feng is interested in Internet investment, he will naturally not miss the Internet conference.
Because at this conference, we will not only discuss new Internet application technologies, but also meet many potential entrepreneurs.
As for Duan Wenzhao, he is now doing takeout orders. Of course, he hopes to get in touch with more investors and have access to more business channels and resources. For such an Internet event, he would try his best to get in even if he has no connections, not to mention that Feng Shirong is his uncle.
The next afternoon, the weather was mild and the sun was setting in the west.
In the magnificent exhibition hall, a crowd of media surrounded the entrance sign-in area.
At the same time, there were security guards all around the venue, with a guard every five steps and plainclothes police officers everywhere on the streets.
There is no way. Those who can attend this meeting account for almost half of the domestic Internet industry, and there is no room for any problems to arise.
Because once a problem occurs, the development of the entire industry may regress by more than 20 years.
Night fell quickly, but the lights around the venue were so dazzling that the entire sky seemed as bright as day.
As the spotlights continued to flash, cars drove onto the red carpet, a group of Internet business tycoons appeared in front of the door, and the smell of money wafted through the entire lobby of the venue.
This cocktail party is actually a time left for entrepreneurs to communicate freely before the formal discussion begins, which is no different from a group buying conference.
At this time, Feng Shirong also brought Duan Wenzhao to the venue. They walked along the red carpet and were invited into the inner venue after their admission letters were verified.
Then they met Xue Buqun, the investor nicknamed Xue Manzi.
Xue Buqun made his fortune in real estate investment business in New York in his early years, and later returned to China to invest, becoming the best angel investor of 2008.
He and Feng Shirong are good friends, and they had agreed to meet at the entrance to the inner field before arriving.
"Boss Xue, long time no see."
"The foreign economy has been in recession in recent years, so it's a good thing to return to China. China is developing very fast now, and there are many opportunities. I'll introduce you to some friends later, and you can have a good chat."
Xue Buqun and Feng Shirong shook hands and exchanged pleasantries.
Duan Wenzhao couldn't get a word in, nor did he want to stand alone, so he looked inside and saw Alibaba Chairman Ma Yun and Lenovo China's Liu Chuanzhi chatting.
"Didn't I say you wouldn't come?"
"I'm not in a good mood. I almost died the day before yesterday."
Liu Chuanzhi was stunned for a moment: "What's going on?"
Ma Yun lowered her voice and said, "Drug poisoning, damn, I can't really explain it, hehe..."
Liu Chuanzhi looked at him with a smile on his face: "Can I hear you sing today?"
"Let's just have a singing competition for entrepreneurs."
Duan Wenzhao, who was listening nearby, felt his heart pounding, as if he knew an unknown secret in the top circle.
So he didn't even dare to breathe and could only pretend not to hear.
Xue Buqun also looked at the place where Duan Wenzhao's eyes were. "That's Alibaba's chairman, Mr. Ma, and Lenovo's chairman, Mr. Liu. Come on, I'll take you to get familiar with them."
Feng Shirong nodded: "I have met Mr. Liu once, but I have never met Mr. Ma."
"With me here, you'll know them all today."
But at this moment, the media surrounding suddenly started to make a commotion, the flashes of the SLR cameras began to flash violently, and the sound of shutter clicks was endless.
Seeing this scene, Xue Buqun, Feng Shirong and Duan Wenzhao all stopped, and Ma Yun and Liu Chuanzhi couldn't help but turn their heads to look over.
On the red carpet leading from the outer venue to the inner venue, Jiang Qin walked over in a black suit, reached out to take the pen, signed his name on the sign-in board at the entrance of the venue, and then walked towards the entrance to the inner venue with a smile on his face.
Among those who entered the market in the early stage, some were invited entrepreneurs, most of whom were middle-aged or already looked old.
Of course, there were some young, fresh faces, but they were very humble and had blank eyes. It was obvious that they were here with their elders in the family to meet people.
Only Jiang Qin, although young, has an exceptionally handsome figure.
Seeing this, Ma Yun and Liu Chuanzhi walked over and shook hands with him with a smile.
"Boss Jiang is here to join in the fun today?"
Jiang Qin smiled and said, "I originally didn't plan to attend the cocktail party. I was thinking of attending tomorrow's discussion meeting, but when I heard that Mr. Ma and Mr. Liu were there, I hurried over."
Ma Yun pointed at him and said, "Your group-buying takeout is really amazing. My word-of-mouth takeout can't catch up at all."
"It's just nonsense."
Liu Chuanzhi couldn't help but speak up: "Lenovo's products were previously intended to be sold through the group purchase channel, but we didn't expect that it would be rejected by President Jiang later."
Jiang Qin looked at Ma Yun and said, "E-commerce belongs to Mr. Ma. I am a small family, so how dare I touch this."
"Hey, you can't say that. The industry needs a hundred flowers to bloom in order to develop together. If you do group buying, all Taobao's resources will be at your disposal."
"No, no, I don't want to become a downstream channel merchant of Taobao."
Liu Chuanzhi looked at the two of them with a smile: "Mr. Jiang didn't bring his wife here?"
Jiang Qin laughed like a goose: "I watched the news at noon and found that the venue was surrounded by three layers of people inside and outside. The scene was really too big. She was not used to it, so she stayed at home."
"Why don't we go in and talk, Mr. Jiang, I have a project I want to discuss with you and hear your opinion."
"What project?"
"Cloud computing, have you heard of it, Mr. Jiang?"
Just as Jiang Qin was about to speak, two more people came over, Lei Jun from Xiaomi Technology and Liu Qiangdong, the founder of Jingdong Mall.
Then there was another round of greetings, and everyone was very harmonious and friendly with each other.
Jiang Qin was considered a rising star in the circle, so he naturally became the focus of discussion, and there was a lot of teasing among them.
Xiaomi had wanted to cooperate with Pintuan Yanxuan before, but was rejected. This time, it brought it up again in front of Liu Qiangdong, causing Qiangdong to cough.
This can also be considered a test. Both Taobao and Jingdong are somewhat worried that Jiang Qin's third fate will be in the e-commerce field.
"I don't do e-commerce. I'm more interested in cloud computing, which Mr. Ma talked about. The cost of servers is too high now. If I want to do it, I want to innovate the industry."
"Boss Jiang, don't be fooled by Lao Ma. They have been working on Alibaba Cloud for three years, but they haven't even built a framework yet. There is no future for it."
"But the progress of the times requires the help of innovators. I think innovation is the responsibility of our generation of entrepreneurs."
About five minutes later, more and more people finally crowded into the inner field.
As they entered the venue, the shutter sounds finally quieted down a lot, and the memories of many reporters' cameras were almost full.
There’s nothing we can do. Those were all famous scenes just now.
Jiang Qin and Ma Yun shook hands in public for the first time. Jiang Qin personally admitted that he had a wife. Lei Jun and Ma Yun joked with each other, and Liu Qiangdong whispered with Jiang Qin.
Holy shit, if this gets posted online it’ll be a hot topic tomorrow.
Feng Shirong frowned slightly at this time and looked at Xue Buqun: "Is that person Jiang Qin, the president of Pintuan?"
"Yes, the largest oligarch in the domestic O2O field."
"So young?"
"I'm a college student, and I'm about to graduate this year."
