New York, Zhou Yuandai's office.
She is alone.
Looking at the chart made by the analyst on the computer screen, Zhou Yuandai smiled helplessly. This chart shows the direction of a mysterious fund that originated in China. It took a full nine detours before revealing its true intention. The target was directed at the mobile phone system development company - Symbian.
"It's still dishonest..." Zhou Yuandai sighed with a wry smile, "But you must have never imagined that your funds went to 9 institutions, and two of them... belonged to me."
After receiving a call from Hu Chen, he was told that a large sum of money was trying to take over the original Motorola's shares in Saipan, and that Xingchen was not competitive enough.
Xu Tingsheng sighed regretfully while facing the phone, while clenched his fists and silently celebrated.
At this time, in 2006, there were probably countless people who knew how big the mobile phone market was and how good the prospects were, but except for prophets like Xu Tingsheng, few people could actually foresee one thing, and this thing has even been said now. Most people will laugh at it—that is, the fall of Nokia, the "overlord" in the mobile phone industry.
And Nokia happens to be the biggest and most staunch supporter of the Symbian system. Also one of the owners.
Therefore, this "pit" is very solid.
Xu Tingsheng knew that the "pit" he dug was far from enough to cause enough damage to Zhou Yuandai, but it at least proved one thing, one thing he was most worried about...
Now he can probably judge, Zhou Yuandai doesn't know the future.
"Will Apple continue?" Hu Chen asked Xu Tingsheng on the phone. His tone even sounded ashamed and apologetic.
"Are there many competitors? Are they strong?" Xu Tingsheng asked.
"A lot." Hu Chen said.
"Try your best. Let's try again on Saipan." Xu Tingsheng said.
The phone hangs up.
"That's good, come on... I'll play with you slowly. I'll find you a big hole." Xu Tingsheng thought.
"The more this is the case, the more I want to master you." At the same time, Zhou Yuandai thought.
…
Except for these unknown undercurrents. In 2006, at the end of August, before the start of Xu Tingsheng's senior year, the world belonged to Huang Yaming and Zhang Xingke.
First up is Zhang Xingke.
To everyone's surprise, Zhang Xingke, who joined Hucheng as the vice president only half a year ago, and who has expanded Hucheng's southwest territory very well, suddenly announced without warning that he would leave Hucheng and start his own business again.
He also took away the team he established in Hucheng, nearly half of the "Hucheng Southwest Territory Pioneering Army". Including Chen Jingqi.
People's first reaction is: What happened to Hucheng again
This "again" means that Xu Tingsheng has only left recently.
Because Hucheng is currently actively preparing for listing, Zhang Xingke had to stand up and accept media interviews due to such a major personnel change.
"Except for the familiar team, I will not take away any customers and resources from Hucheng. We have completed the handover with the company's new Southwest team. Please relax." Zhang Xingke said the first sentence when he saw the media.
"Besides, Xu Tingsheng and Mr. Lu have already called me after knowing my decision..."
"What did they say?" the reporter asked.
"They said... they expected it a long time ago," Zhang Xingke spread his hands, and said, "then wish me all the best and welcome me back anytime. We still maintain a good personal relationship. Except, they seem happy to see me go … makes me a little pissed off."
Zhang Xingke's words sparked laughter.
"Then, Mr. Zhang, what is your entrepreneurial direction?" the reporter asked.
"Temporary confidentiality." Zhang Xingke replied, and then said: "Next question."
"Then I would like to ask, does Mr. Zhang feel that his decision will be correct? After all, at present, the public generally believes that the prospect of mutual sincerity is very good..."
"I agree." Zhang Xingke directly interrupted the reporter's question.
"Then why are you quitting?" the reporter asked.
"Because I do it myself, it will be better." When the reporters were stunned by his words and didn't bother to ask again, Zhang Xingke stood up and said, "With all due respect, my In my professional life, I have been the boss since I was in college. Now you ask me to help others, and you have to ask for instructions when you make a decision. Sorry, I can’t get used to it.”
These words were arrogant and domineering, and the perceptive reporters could already detect that Zhang Xingke was complaining, complaining about Lu Zhixin's strong desire to control power and her arbitrary style... It was actually no secret. But it's not a mistake... the same is true of the first generation of founders in most companies.
Zhang Xingke didn't give them time to react and question, and continued: "Please forgive my arrogance, but the fact is that I can only be the president."
Zhang Xingke was on fire.
To be precise, these two extremely domineering quotes of his became popular, and soon began to appear on the Internet, "with all due respect for my bluntness" and "please forgive my arrogance". for example:
With all due respect, my study career has been a scumbag since elementary school, and I have never passed a pass. Now you let me study hard to be a top student, and pretend to be sick with the teacher when I sleep in class. Sorry, I can't get used to it.
Please forgive my arrogance, but the fact is, I can only be a scumbag.
There were many people who were popular, and soon a female reporter broke a "ugly" news about Zhang Xingke.
The matter was directly in front of him, and the female reporter asked: "According to the information I got, Mr. Zhang, when you started your business in Shenghai, you were finally forced to leave because of a woman's betrayal. Is that true?"
"Yes." Zhang Xingke replied.
"Well, I heard that you used the power of mutual sincerity to severely suppress the power that attacked you at the beginning, and that woman... has also gone bankrupt, and now she has to work in a factory to make ends meet, is that true?" The reporter asked again. ask.
"One, yes. Two, I used legal means." Zhang Xingke replied.
"So you think it's okay for you to do that?"
"completely fine."
"Do you think you are honored?" The female reporter was a little dissatisfied with his attitude.
Zhang Xingke looked at her and kept watching.
"You, what are you doing?" The female reporter was a little nervous.
"When you said this, did you feel that you were righteous?" Zhang Xingke said, "Don't forget that the premise of my doing this is that she betrayed me first... took my things and made me look like a Lost dog."
"But as far as I know..."
"Yes, I slept with her. So now you want to tell me about the one-night couple's hundred days of grace, should I tolerate her betrayal because I slept with her?"
The female reporter was frightened and couldn't speak for a while.
Zhang Xingke continued: "Men should be nice to women, but they should not be used to be trampled on. My logic towards women is actually very simple. I love you, and I will try my best to treat you well. If you don't love me, say, it's okay." , we can still be friends. But if you don’t love me, but pretend to love me, cheat me, betray me... sorry, you will definitely pay the price.”
Zhang Xingke walked away after speaking.
The female reporter’s original words were published, and “My logic to women is actually very simple” appeared on the Internet. For example, someone said, “My logic to women is actually very simple. If you let me sleep, I promise to sleep more than once.”
Zhang Xingke began to add fuel to the fire, and it was full of controversy.
Some people supported him, saying that he was really domineering, and some people said that his words were very relieved. Some people also say that he is a scumbag... The Internet is a place where all kinds of opinions are mixed, and there are all kinds of values.
These people called Zhang Xingke "the second scumbag" because they soon discovered that there was another scumbag.
Zhang Xingke, who was under the torrent of public opinion, called Xu Tingsheng.
"How about it, this cover-up is big enough, right? It's just that I'm dissatisfied with Lu Zhixin, and the performance is not enough. I wanted to take advantage of that woman, and I happened to criticize her for betraying you..."
"Thank you." Xu Tingsheng said painfully.
Zhang Xingke laughed twice, and said, "Tell me, what exactly do you want me to do? Don't worry, the people I bring out are the most reliable. Also, as you said, I'll be on Forbes after I finish this job."
"No hurry," Xu Tingsheng said, "you and Huang Yaming have a good time together first."
"Is he also involved in the operation of this ticket?" Zhang Xingke asked.
"No, he just suffered from the tycoon's disease." Xu Tingsheng said.
