Chapter 2497 The pattern must be big

“Acquiring a company?”

Lang Hongjun was startled by Ye Chen's words and said, "Mr. Ye, if you want to acquire a communications company with sufficient foundation, the cost will be at least one billion US dollars. Will the investment be too high? I am afraid it will be difficult to make a profit..."

Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Profit is not the most important thing, but how to solve our urgent needs at the moment is the most important thing."

As he said that, Ye Chen said again: "Our biggest pain point at present is that time is tight. Not to mention a year, a month, even a day, an hour, we must try our best to make it. Time is far more important than money."

Ye Chen paused slightly and continued: "If you want to develop rapidly at an extraordinary speed, you must change your thinking pattern that only solves the needs in front of you. No one or no one can be recruited. If you still stay in how to solve the problem of recruiting people, it will basically be difficult to achieve great things;"

"The prerequisite for doing big things is that the pattern must be big enough. When large companies face the same problem, they will not think about how to build a team from scratch and then develop a product. The first solution they will think of is to directly buy the appropriate products on the market."

As he said, Ye Chen said again: "Elon Musk will not waste precious time and energy to create a Twitter by himself and buy it directly. This is the most economical for him. In fact, we are the same. If we still need to recruit employees one by one, the variables here are too big. Even if you expect to solve the problem in two years, once there is a change in personnel, the time will become far away."

"First of all, the recruitment cycle will definitely be longer than expected. It was originally planned to recruit enough personnel in three months, but it may actually take at least half a year or even longer;"

"The second is that the staff is insufficient. The team recruited in a few months will take at least a few months to train. But once the new people trained suddenly resign, the past few months may be wasted. With recruitment and training, half a year of hard work will be wasted. At that time, we have no other way, we can only start the process again."

"Also, employees are not just stable. The premise of stability is that they must have enough ability to deal with their work. This also requires us to invest unknown trial and error costs. If we choose the wrong person, we must start all over again."

"In this way, even three years may not be able to achieve the goals we want to achieve."

"Also, we always have to do things in one go. If we stumble and stumbling from the beginning, the loss of our enthusiasm and confidence will be beyond imagination, and it will be difficult to become bigger and stronger."

Speaking of this, Ye Chen looked at Lang Hongjun and said seriously: "Brother, although you are very motivated now, if you really encounter various difficulties in the early personnel stage, you will not have the current energy in a year or two."

Lang Hongjun pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and sighed: "You are right. Your enthusiasm and confidence are consumed less and less. In the end, I was depressed before. I was quit for my first job. I still felt that it was nothing great. After all, I had real talents and knowledge, so it was definitely not difficult to find a job. But unexpectedly, after all, I hit a wall again and again, and finally I wiped out all my fighting spirit..."

Speaking of this, Lang Hongjun suddenly stood there and murmured: "That's how I am, from a proud communication expert, step by step to willing to go to Mexico to be a coolie seaman..."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and asked, "Brother, where was the job you had when you were the highest salary?"

Lang Hongjun hurriedly said: "It is an old American communications company."

Ye Chen asked again: "What is the current market value of the company?"

Lang Hongjun thought for a while and said, "The company was very prosperous a few years ago. When its market value was at its highest, it exceeded 10 billion US dollars, but as the bubble continued to burst and its performance continued to decline. When I was fired, the market value should be only more than one billion."

Ye Chen nodded and asked him: "How is the foundation of this company?"

Lang Hongjun said: "The foundation in the hardware and software technology level is very good, but the reason why it has declined in recent years is mainly because the market direction has not been right. The person in charge wrongly judged the development direction of the communication market. Later, he gradually turned his to-C business to death, and then turned to his old capital and used other communication companies to provide hardware equipment and technical support."

Ye Chen said in surprise: "That's just right for us. If its business is done well and its market value is high, it will be difficult for us to take it down. After the acquisition, the to-c business will also involve a lot of our experience. But now it specializes in hardware equipment and technical support, isn't it just right for us to serve us? After all, we don't pursue a new communications company around the world. We just hope to build our own communications network as soon as possible."

Lang Hongjun nodded and said, "If we combine our situation, it is indeed very suitable. We can use many of the company's technologies directly. Moreover, the remaining company is almost all scientific researchers. Although the market is a mess, its R&D strength cannot be underestimated."

Ye Chen said without hesitation: "It's all! Brother, please pack up and go back to the United States with me immediately!"

Lang Hongjun said in surprise: "Return to the United States? Mr. Ye, I have only been here for a few days and have not sorted out anything clearly..."

Ye Chen said: "It is more important to buy your old boss as soon as possible. After you arrive in the United States, you will talk directly to the boss of this company about the acquisition. Didn't you say that its market value is about one billion US dollars? As long as he is willing to take action, I can pay up to two billion US dollars. As for how much you can negotiate, it depends on your ability."

Lang Hongjun was dumbfounded and blurted out: "Mr. Ye...what company do you really want to buy?"

"Yes." Ye Chen nodded confidently and said, "Buy it and let it design satellites for us. Since it has ready-made technology, it should be able to design satellites in a few months, right? Then, in a few months of production, it will be launched in the first half of next year."

Lang Hongjun said excitedly: "It doesn't take so long! The company itself is developing communication satellites for many large companies, both in terms of technology and supply chain. If we can acquire them smoothly, we only need to make certain customized adjustments based on the original basis and put them into use. As soon as three months, we can develop our own communication satellites according to our needs."

As he said that, Lang Hongjun said: "If we make an appointment for launch quota from the commercial launch company now, our own satellites will be able to enter orbit as early as this fall and winter!

When Ye Chen heard this, he said without hesitation: "Okay! That's great! Brother, you go back to the United States with me this time. You must overcome all difficulties and take down this company!"
