Chapter 1005: Bullfighting
Colvin knew that he could not test Deep Space's attitude toward Huawei on the spot, so he smiled and said goodbye to Yu Dong and the others, "You are also very busy tonight, so I won't disturb you."
Jimmy nodded, pointed to the distance, and said, "Fowler is over there. You can go talk to him about the variety show."
Colvin raised his glass and then walked in the direction of Fowler.
After he left, Yu Dong smiled and said, "It seems that Motorola is not determined enough to want Huawei."
Jimmy shook his head, "It's not that they are not determined enough, but they have no solution. Motorola is now in deep trouble, and it is not easy to make changes. Chris Galvin wants to acquire Huawei, but Huawei's price is certain
It won't be low. I estimate that Huawei will ask for about 8 billion US dollars. The directors on Motorola's board of directors will not agree to such a huge acquisition. Once Chris Galvin encounters resistance from the board of directors, he will definitely not move forward.
After all, his current position is unstable."
Yu Dong frowned, "Eight billion US dollars, so if we want to acquire it, it won't be easy."
It is said that Deep Space Company has good cash flow, but it is very difficult for them to come up with 8 billion US dollars in a short period of time.
You can get it by squeezing it together, but it is likely to affect the normal development of the group unless they suspend operations in the stock market.
Jimmy smiled and said: "If we want to buy it, the price should be lower. In addition, we can negotiate installments with Huawei. We are different from Motorola. Huawei will definitely trust us more. In addition, when it comes to acquisitions, we have deep space
The reputation has always been very good.”
Yu Dong smiled. Jimmy was right. Deep Space Company has always had a very good reputation in terms of acquisitions.
Deep Space has acquired many companies, and the results have been very good, and they have not interfered too much in the development of their subsidiaries. Because of this, many companies with average development hope that Deep Space can acquire them. They also hope that they can become Blizzard.
Leshan.
"Looking at you, you seem to support the acquisition of Huawei?"
Jimmy nodded, "Actually, Colvin is right. Huawei is a very good match for us. If we can win them over, it will definitely be very good for the future development of our group. We also have companies like Nokia, Ericsson, and Cisco."
There is no way to acquire it, so Huawei is the most suitable for us. The price is a bit expensive, but it is within the acceptable range."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "In that case, you have to plan carefully later."
Jimmy curled his lips and said, "Didn't you bring up the acquisition of Huawei first? Why did it fall on me in the end?"
Yu Dong laughed and said, "You are better at it."
In fact, Yu Dong did not necessarily want to acquire Huawei from the beginning. The main reason why he had this idea was that he was afraid that Huawei would fall into the hands of Motorola or other foreign companies.
If no foreign company touches Huawei in the end, then Yu Dong has no intention of acquiring Huawei.
But Jimmy obviously doesn't think so. Jimmy has included Huawei in the development map of Deep Space. Even if there are no foreign companies like Motorola to acquire Huawei, he will still take it down.
"I will wait until the annual meeting is over..."
When Jimmy was about to say something, Disney's Michael Eisner came up with a wine glass and said, "Jimmy, YU, what are you two hiding here for? I've been looking for you for a long time."
Yu Dong saw the transparent liquid in Michael Eisner's wine glass and said with a smile, "Michael, why are you looking for us? Do you want to drink water with us?"
When he heard Yu Dong say that there was white water in his cup, Michael Eisner became anxious and stretched out the cup in front of Yu Dong, "What white water? This is white wine."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "You actually drank white wine. I underestimated you. Come on, let's meet."
Michael Eisner clinked the glasses with Yu Dong very boldly, then raised his head and drank up the white wine in the glass. He didn't pour much into the glass, but there was about one or two glasses of wine, and he drank quite vigorously.
.
The taste of liquor was still a bit difficult for Michael Eisner to accept. After drinking the liquor, he couldn't help but frown.
Yu Dong said in surprise, "You don't have to drink so hard."
Michael Eisner laughed and said, "Didn't you say that in China, as long as you touch the glasses, you have to toast?"
Yu Dong and Jimmy looked at each other and smiled, knowing that Michael Eisner must have been deceived. Although there is a saying in China of clinking glasses and cheering, nowadays when drinking white wine, there is no need to toast by clinking glasses. Just say it.
Now that Michael Eisner had done it, Yu Dong naturally couldn't be complacent and did it in one gulp. However, he didn't frown, not because he had a good drinker, but because there was really water in his glass...
Michael Eisner looked at Yu Dong with admiration and breathed a long sigh of relief. The glass of wine just now burned like a fire in his chest.
"Liquor is indeed very special. Just like what Mr. Yu Hua said, drinking baijiu is like a Chinese fire dragon swimming in the chest. Especially this Wuliangye, the taste is very suitable for me."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "Since you like it, drink more."
Logically speaking, there is no need for Yu Dong and Jimmy to decide what kind of wine to drink at the dinner. Someone will take care of it, but Jimmy and Yu Dong really discussed this matter seriously.
Yu Dong's suggestion was to prepare more kinds of wine, and the guests could drink whatever they wanted. This was also done at previous annual meetings.
But Jimmy disagrees. He thinks that only white wine can be served at dinner parties. No matter whether the guests like to drink or not, if they don't drink white wine, they can also choose to drink juice.
In the end, Jimmy convinced Yu Dong that the banquet only had white wine, so even if Michael Eisner and the others were not used to it, they could only drink it, otherwise they could only drink fruit juice.
After Michael Eisner left, Yu Dong handed the wine glass to Jimmy, "Help me take it. I have to go to the toilet. I drank too much water tonight."

…
The second day of the Deep Space Annual Meeting happened to be the Little New Year. Many people were far away, so they simply didn’t rush back and spent the Little New Year in Jinling.
This year's off-year coincides with the beginning of spring. The weather was very good that day, with gentle winds and clear skies. Although the temperature was still not high, we could already feel that winter was slowly passing.
In the past, when they were in Shanghai, Yu Dong and the others celebrated the Beginning of Spring with nothing special. It was just like any other day. However, since their family came to Jinling, there has been an additional activity at the Beginning of Spring every year, and that is spring roll frying.
Yu Dong's mother-in-law, Chen Yuqing, was good at frying spring rolls. In the first two years, she was the only one who fried them. The two families ate them together. Later, it gradually became a custom for everyone. At the beginning of spring, everyone started frying spring rolls.
Each family gives a little away to try their own craftsmanship.
Some restaurants know that it is difficult to beat Chen Yuqing in making ordinary fried spring rolls, so they take a different approach. For example, last year, Yu Hua launched a new spring roll with bean paste filling.
In the past, there were no special activities in Jinling at the beginning of spring, but today is different. A newly built square in HX District was finally used by the government at the beginning of spring this year.
Led by the Jinling government, a cattle hunting event was held in Hexi Square at the beginning of spring this year.
The so-called "cow beating" is a traditional activity in Jinling. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the beginning of spring was a very important day in Jinling. At that time, every beginning of spring, the local government would come forward to organize a New Year celebration. The prefect of Jiangning led local officials and
The gentry set out from Jiangning Mansion to the eastern suburbs and held a grand spring worship ceremony.
During the ceremony, you need to prepare a working cow made of clay, and then find a blind man to paint the body of the clay cow with a five-color pen. After the painting is completed, the prefect whips the clay cow with a reed pole wrapped in five-color paper.
It's called cow hunting.
After the cow hunting is over, someone will carry the clay cow to the city. This is called spring.
On the day of the beginning of spring, the family gathers together to worship God, which is called receiving the spring. Afterwards, the younger generation bows to the elders, which is called worshiping the spring.
When the Spring Festival is over, the whole family sits together to eat spring pancakes, which is called eating spring.
The beginning of spring this year coincides with the New Year, and the Jinling government took the lead. Many residents of Jinling also joined in the fun and deleted and deleted this set.
The cattle hunting activities in Hexi are naturally different from those in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. First of all, the cows used are not clay cows but colored cows made of plastic, and there is no blind man who paints the cow's body with colorful pens.
In addition, the Jinling government also prepared 2,002 small colorful cows of five to six centimeters in length and distributed them to people who came to join in the fun.
Because the event was held in Hexi, the Jinling government also invited Yu Dong and Jimmy to attend.
After the cow's body was painted with colors, Secretary Liu handed a colorful whip to Yu Dong, "Teacher Yu, do you want to come to the spring festival?"
Yu Dong waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, no, it's better if you come, it's shameful for me to come."
Secretary Liu was just being polite. Of course, he could not really give the whip to Yu Dong. He also knew that Yu Dong would not accept it. He smiled, walked to the front and whipped the cow twice, and then threw the whip into the crowd.
, let the people fight for it.
This whip was made of colorful ropes, but what technique should be used when weaving it? When Secretary Liu threw it, the whip fell into pieces one by one and landed in many places.
At this time, the gongs and drums were beating together, the activity reached its climax, and the colorful cattle were also transported by trucks to the Gulou District.
Looking at the truck going away, Secretary Liu said to Dong and Jimmy with a smile, "You two, it's getting late. May I invite you to have dinner in our government canteen?"
Jimmy smiled and said, "Secretary Liu, since you have come to Hexi, why bother looking far away? I have already asked people to arrange meals in the canteen of our campus. It is only a few steps away from here."
Secretary Liu pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then I won't be pretentious. Today we will go to taste the canteen in deep space. Previously, a colleague who was engaged in economics specifically mentioned your canteen to me, saying that you
The reason why the deep space economy can develop as it does now is inextricably linked to the canteen."
"Well, food is the most important thing for people. No matter what you do, having enough food is the most important thing."
"That's right." Secretary Liu nodded, "Then let's not delay and go now. Secretary Li, please do some hard work and bring someone here to tie up the tail."
…
Hexi Square is several kilometers away from the Deep Space Park, so of course it is impossible to walk there. Everyone got in the car and arrived at the place in a few minutes.
There were so many leaders participating in the event today that there was definitely not room for one table. In the end, including the people from Deep Space, a total of four boxes were used.
Yu Dong and Jimmy naturally sat at the same table as Secretary Liu. Jimmy suggested having two drinks, but Secretary Liu and the others had something to do in the afternoon, so they didn't drink.
Although they didn't drink, the meal still lasted for more than an hour, because they talked about serious business during the meal.
After sending Secretary Liu and others away, Jimmy followed Yu Dong back to the box.
Jimmy smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Secretary Liu would actually speak up about the Qixia District playground in person."
Yu Dong nodded, "Even ordinary companies can't afford such a large investment. What do you think about this?"
"No rush, let's talk first. We will also organize an inspection group to go to Qixia District to see if there are conditions for building a large playground there. In fact, I think building a playground is still feasible. The key lies in two points. One is time.
, The second is policy... Qixia District is building a university town. There will definitely be more young people in the future, and the supporting facilities will be able to keep up. But this will take time, three years, five years or ten years. We need to be sure of this.
If you build it too early, the supporting facilities will not be built, and the flow of people is not enough, it is a waste of time. If you build it too late, the policy may not be good... Policy is very important, and it is directly related to the cost and later operation of the amusement park. What I mean is
, when the policy is better, we will first acquire the land, and then slowly build the playground, so that we can balance time and policy."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "If you come up with this idea, the Jinling government may not agree."
Jimmy shrugged his shoulders, "What's the point if they don't agree? Now that Qixia District has just begun to develop, if we don't build a playground, other companies will participate in the development? In fact, I think what they want to do now is
To make an overall plan, it is best to make a long-term plan for twenty or even thirty years, and then put the puzzle pieces together piece by piece. If you do it piece by piece, there will be big problems.
.Many local governments in China now tend to make this mistake when building roads. Some urban main roads are built with four or even two lanes, thinking that it is enough. They have no idea how fast the development is."
Yu Dong knew that Jimmy was right. Many places lacked foresight when doing urban planning and wrongly estimated the speed of development, causing the city's development to encounter bottlenecks early.
During the planning process of Hexi, Deep Space Company made many suggestions, so the roads in Hexi were made particularly wide, and the reserved space was very large, which was very convenient for later reconstruction.
However, because of this incident, Hexi has been criticized. Some people think that the local government is wasting public funds by building roads that are too wide and there are few vehicles on the road. It is better to build the roads narrower and save some money to invest in medical care and education.
