Shi Zhengrong actually didn't know much about the situation of Deep Space Company. He didn't know what kind of cooperative relationship between Yu Dong and Jimmy was. He could only guess many things by himself.
What he knew was that Yu Dong was the majority shareholder and Jimmy was the minority shareholder in Deep Space China, but he didn't know what kind of structure Deep Space America was.
The most common rumor from the outside world is that Yu Dong owns 10% to 20% of the shares in Deep Space America.
But in Shi Zhengrong's view, Yu Dong's shares are definitely more than this.
Compared with Deep Space America, Deep Space China is actually much smaller. If Yu Dong only held 20% of the shares in Deep Space America, I am afraid that the relationship between him and Jimmy would not be like this.
Sometimes, Yu Dong can directly make decisions for Deep Space America, which is obviously not a right that a small shareholder can have.
This time Yu Dong was invited to his home. Shi Zhengrong also wanted to test Yu Dong, but this was obviously not an easy task, and Yu Dong simply refused to accept the invitation.
Since Yu Dong didn't accept the move, Shi Zhengrong didn't want to force Yu Dong to accept the move. He just followed his own words and said, "Amazon has developed very well in the past few years. Deep Space Company has made a very good investment. I
I once thought that you would move the Amazon model to China and start e-commerce in China. This should not be difficult for you, but there has been no movement on your side. Even the 8848 website has not
We came out and you still didn’t move at all.”
Yu Dong said with a smile, "No matter who you are, your energy is limited. It is normal for you not to take care of many things. The 8848 website is now developing very well in the country. After getting the money from Yang Zhiyuan and the others, they have made great progress.
Very big.”
"You mean, their steps are too big?" Shi Zhengrong asked very keenly.
Yu Dong waved his hand, "No, no, Internet companies are not big no matter how big their steps are."
The 8848 website has indeed become very popular over the past year. It is not only popular in China, but also well-known abroad.
In February this year, the US "Times" reported that the 8848 website was the most popular e-commerce site in China.
Of course, in fact, there are not many e-commerce sites in China at this stage, and the 8848 website has almost no competitors in China.
Some people also compare 8848 with deep space, believing that 8848 is currently very powerful and may one day pose a threat to deep space companies.
In fact, people say this every year.
In recent years, there have been many newly established Internet companies in China, and each Internet company will be popular for a period of time after its establishment, and then some people will compare these Internet companies with Deep Space Company.
Before 8848, companies such as NetEase and Sohu had appeared, but because they overlapped too much with Deep Space Company's business, they did not have much competitiveness in comparison, and the development of these companies was not very good.
Some companies went to Nasdaq for listing, but they happened to encounter a sharp drop in the stocks of the Internet industry, and they also received a blow. It seemed that they died before they started.
Only 8848 and eBay have developed e-commerce, avoided Deep Space Company, and gained a piece of development soil of their own.
Regarding the two companies 8848 and eBay, Yu Dong and Jimmy also discussed many times and came up with many ideas.
At the beginning, Jimmy wanted Amazon to acquire these two companies. However, as these two companies gradually developed and the acquisition costs increased, he simply gave up this decision.
The main reason is that Jimmy and Yu Dong don't pay much attention to this matter, because in their previous strategic plan, they would not launch e-commerce business in China until later.
From the perspective of Yu Dong and Jimmy, although 8848 and the others have made a lot of buzz, they are very tired and have no cost-effectiveness at all. It is not the best time to start e-commerce in China.
In addition, by 2002, the financial strength of Deep Space was much stronger than it is now. At that time, it was much easier to fight on multiple fronts. Unlike now, every additional front brings an increased possibility of collapse.
Taking all circumstances into consideration, it would be best for Shenzhen to start e-commerce deployment in China in 2002.
However, Deep Space has always been paying attention to companies like 8848, and Deep Space is aware of every step they take.
Shi Zhengrong looked at Yu Dong with a smile on his face. Although Yu Dong was unwilling to reveal anything, Shi Zhengrong still got some information from Yu Dong's words.
He could see that Deep Space Company still had its own layout in the Internet, instead of just reacting passively as those investment experts said.
Shi Zhengrong's focus on these does not mean that Acer will also enter the Internet industry, but a veteran like him is very sensitive to market development, and he needs to be fully prepared for possible changes in the future.
To what extent will the Internet develop and what form will it develop into? This is a question that Shi Zhengrong must consider, because it is closely related to their PC industry.
Once the situation in the Internet industry changes, their PC business is also likely to be affected.
In addition, Shi Zhengrong regards Deep Space as their strategic partner, so he naturally needs to make a reasonable and full assessment of Deep Space. Is this partner reliable? What is their future strategic direction? These are all things Acer needs to consider.
of.
Just say that in the turbulent Internet industry at this time, a series of actions by Shen Kong vaguely revealed a hint that they were going to buck the market trend.
If Deep Space Company really wants to go against the market, it will either suffer a heavy blow or it will rise sharply.
Once there is a problem in deep space, the first impact will be on BenQ Dentsu, and then it will also have a huge impact on Acer.
If Shi Zhengrong determines that the possibility of Deep Space's operation failing is relatively high, then he can make a decision to reduce cooperation with Deep Space in the future, reduce Acer's own risk coefficient, and try not to be affected by Deep Space.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But if Shi Zhengrong thinks that Deep Space’s operation is correct, then now is the time for them to establish a good relationship with Deep Space. Otherwise, when Deep Space takes off later, they will
I can't even smell fart from behind.
Shi Zhengrong picked up the tea cup and drank the tea, poured himself another cup, and then said with a smile, "Actually, I heard about another thing recently."
Yu Dong raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's going on?"
"I heard that a company specializing in pet medical care was established in the United States some time ago, called Cat Doctor. This company made big moves after its establishment. They acquired a well-known local pet hospital chain called Cat Doctor.
Sky, and helped the pet hospital open several new stores one after another. Not only that, this company also vigorously promoted the pet hospital, and it seemed that it wanted to open Sky Pet Hospital for cats all over the world. Such a generous move, but
It’s not something ordinary people can do.”
Yu Dong looked at Shi Zhengrong with a smile, but he was surprised inside. The fact that he and Jimmy started a new company, Doctor Cat, was not announced to the public, and most people didn't know about it at all.
But since Shi Zhengrong knew about it, there was nothing to hide. Yu Dong nodded and said, "Doctor Cat, Jimmy and I are indeed involved, but I don't know much about the company's management. I didn't expect that Mr. Shi would be like this."
Pay attention to us, we have never told anyone about this."
Shi Zhengrong smiled and said, "But you actually didn't hide it deliberately, otherwise I wouldn't know it. If I guessed correctly, you will most likely start thinking about pets next. They just raised some money in February.
But under the current circumstances, it is impossible for them to obtain other funds, so after the money they have is spent, their company will be unsustainable. That is your time to take action. Although I don’t understand why you want to
It’s time to enter the pet medical industry, but your overall thinking is quite clear, which proves that you didn’t do this on a whim, but after careful consideration and planning in advance. You even reserved part of it in advance for the establishment of a new company.
cash."
Hearing Shi Zhengrong's guess, Yu Dong couldn't help but twitch his lips.
In the first half, Shi Zhengrong was very right. Doctor Cat will take care of pets next, and now he is waiting for pets to spend all their money.
But the second half of what Shi Zhengrong said was wrong. Although this operation on pets was not a sudden thought, it was definitely not well thought out and planned in advance. It’s just that Jimmy discovered this opportunity and happened to have money.
, so I took action decisively. The money was not specially prepared for pets.
From the time Jimmy discovered the pets situation to the time he decided to launch the plan, not much time was wasted.
Maybe everything Shi Zhengrong does is planned for a long time, so he takes it for granted that Yu Dong and Jimmy are the same, but they don't know that although the two of them invest sometimes, they are very impulsive, or to put it nicely, decisive.
However, Yu Dong did not explain. He just smiled and said, "pets are indeed one of our choices. They have things we want, but they are not necessary."
Shi Zhengrong nodded, "pets is only one of your choices, and in a few months, you will be pets' only choice. In fact, even if you go and tell pets now that you want to acquire them in a few months, they will not
There is no way unless they can find other people to invest in them. But in this situation, absolutely no one is willing to spend tens of millions of dollars on such a company."
"Except us." Yu Dong smiled.
Shi Zhengrong put his hand on his chin, "So I'm very curious about what kind of actions you and Jimmy will make after acquiring pets. This curiosity does not involve business. I am purely a spectator and think the operations you and Jimmy are doing are wonderful.
It's very entertaining. If I were a young man in his early twenties, I would definitely follow you."
Yu Dong leaned back slightly, also put his hand on his chin, and said, "Since Mr. Shi is an audience member, I'd better not spoil it, otherwise you will lose the fun."
Shi Zhengrong's expression froze, and then he burst into laughter, "He is indeed a great writer, and even his words of rejection are so interesting. Okay, okay, I also know that this involves commercial secrets, so I won't ask. I am just a loyal audience.
, I really appreciate your wonderful show, and I also hope that you, the leading actors, can work hard and make this show more exciting, so as not to disappoint me."
"We will definitely try our best."
Shi Zhengrong stood up with a smile again, walked to the bookshelf, and put the "Curse" that had been on his lap back on the bookshelf.
After putting the books back, Shi Zhengrong looked at the full bookshelf and suddenly sighed, "When I first built this bookshelf, I naively thought that the books at home could fill this bookshelf, but when I put all the books at home on it,
Later I discovered that my books could not even fill one-third of this bookshelf. From that time on, I had an obsession to fill this bookshelf. For us, we want to fill a bookshelf.
It’s not a difficult thing, as long as you are willing to pay, the bookstore will come with enough books to fill it.”
"But I also wanted to add some difficulty to this matter to make it more meaningful. So I told myself that only books I have read can be put up, but -"
At this point, Shi Zhengrong laughed, "But this was too difficult for me, so I lowered the difficulty. I had to go to the bookstore in person to buy books, and I couldn't buy more than two books at a time. From now on
, I often go in and out of bookstores, but just to buy books and put them on the bookshelf. I am a contradictory person who often goes to bookstores, but lacks literary reading. Later, I finally filled the entire bookshelf.
In order to fill the bookshelf just right without leaving any gaps, I took a tape measure that day and looked for books with the right thickness in the bookstore. Having a bookshelf full of books made me satisfied for a while, but recently, I suddenly felt that this bookshelf
It’s too full. Now I don’t even have the desire to enter a bookstore.”
After hearing Shi Zhengrong's emotional remarks, Yu Dong also stood up and walked to the bookshelf.
Yu Dong likes to analyze a person's tastes and hobbies through the books on his bookshelf, but the books Shi Zhengrong bought didn't seem to provide any useful information.
On this bookshelf, there are all kinds of books, and there is no preference. It seems that the only criterion for Shi Zhengrong to buy these books is the size of the books.
"Maybe you can change to a bigger bookshelf."
Shi Zhengrong looked at Yu Dong unexpectedly, "I thought you would say, let me try to actually read the books on the bookshelf."
"I hope everyone in the world can read more books, but I think no matter what you do, you should start simple. Changing to a bigger bookshelf will be much easier for Mr. Shi."
Shi Zhengrong said with a smile, "I will assume that you are sincerely giving me advice and not making fun of me."
