After rebirth, I want to destroy my original family

Chapter 556 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.

Zhou 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 the actions of the Zhou Group in the past week.

"Boss Zhou, we have already completed half of the layoffs, and 1 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 3% of cash flow."

"In addition, structural adjustment has begun, and the company has begun to reduce its burden in all aspects and transform into the new commercial real estate field."

Zhou Shirong nodded, feeling satisfied with the company's actions during this period.

After Qin Jingqiu left Zhou 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 have little growth potential. They can quickly collect funds by cashing out after cutting them off.

Zhou now has only two goals left: investing in the Internet to catch up with the changing times, and moving quickly into new commercial real estate.

The reason he went to Beijing this time was to see the site to be built for Zhou's real estate project [Joy City].

In addition, he also made a special visit to the Baihua Valley Shopping Mall in Beijing.

After he came back, he made a special trip to visit the Hundred Flowers Valley in Shanghai 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 3 years apart, but the one in Beijing is one level higher than 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 the Baihua Valley in Shanghai and the Baihua Valley in Beijing evolved based on the core concept of Gu Ming’s mall 3.0 manual.

The reason for the gap is that Shanghai, as the first pilot, adopted a relatively simplified model.

However, the success of Shanghai Baihua Valley gave Qin's Real Estate and Baihua Valley Group enough confidence, so they increased investment in the construction of Beijing Baihua Valley, gradually upgrading the structure and style.

In other words, even the one in Beijing is not complete yet.

And what is the true perfection?

It is the Wanshanghui project that Qin's Real Estate and Baihua Valley Group are collaborating on and are about to develop.

However, Zhou Shirong has now made up his mind and decided to develop Joy City based on the Baihua Valley in Beijing.

At this moment, the secretary sitting next to him handed over an invitation.

"Mr. Zhou, I have received the invitation to the Internet Conference. Do you want to go?"

"If you want to invest in the Internet, you have to expand your network of contacts."

"My wife mentioned to me today that if it's convenient for you, can you bring her nephew with you?"

"Well, let's call Wen Zhao too."

Zhou is interested in Internet investment, so he will naturally not miss the Internet conference.

Because at this conference, we will not only talk about 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 Zhou Shirong is his uncle.

The next afternoon, the weather was mild and the sun was pointing westward.

In the magnificent exhibition hall, a large number of media surrounded the entrance sign-in area.

At the same time, there were security guards all around the venue, with a guard post every five steps and plainclothes police officers everywhere on the streets.

There is no way. Almost half of the domestic Internet industry can attend this meeting, 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 1 years.

Night fell quickly, but the lights around the venue were so dazzling that the entire sky seemed like 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 entire lobby of the venue was filled with the smell of money.

This reception is actually a time for entrepreneurs to communicate freely before the formal discussion begins. It is no different from a group buying conference.

At this time, Zhou 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 the real estate investment business in New York in his early years. Later, he returned to China to invest and became the best angel investor in 08.

He and Zhou 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 economy abroad has been sluggish in the past few years. It is a good thing to return to China. The country is developing very quickly and there are many opportunities. I will introduce you to some friends later and you can have a good chat."

Xue Buqun and Zhou Shirong shook hands and exchanged pleasantries.

Duan Wenzhao couldn't get a word in, nor did he want to stand there alone, so he looked inside and saw Ma Yun from Alibaba and Liu Chuanzhi from Lenovo China chatting.

"Didn't everyone say you won't come?"

"I'm not in the mood, I'm not in a good state, I almost fucking died the day before yesterday."

Liu Chuanzhi was stunned for a moment: "What's going on?"

Ma Yun lowered her voice: "Damn it, I'm poisoned by drugs, I can't say it, hehehe..."

Liu Chuanzhi looked at him with a smile on his face: "Can I hear you sing today?"

"Forget it, let's hold an entrepreneur singing competition."

Duan Wenzhao, who was listening to this, felt his heart pounding, as if he knew the unknown secret of the top circle.

So he didn't even dare to take a breath and could only pretend not to hear.

Xue Buqun also looked at the place where Duan Wenzhao's eyes were. "That's Alibaba's CEO Ma and Lenovo's CEO Liu. Come on, I'll take you there to get familiar with them."

Zhou Shirong nodded: "I have met Mr. Liu once before, but I have never met Mr. Ma."

"As long as I am here, you will know everyone today."

But at this moment, the surrounding media suddenly began to commotion, the flash of the SLR began to flash violently, and the shutter sound was heard endlessly.

Seeing this scene, Xue Buqun, Zhou Shirong and Duan Wenzhao all stopped, and Ma Yun and Liu Chuanzhi could not help but turn their heads to look over.

On the red carpet leading from the outer field to the inner field, Gu Ming 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 of the inner field 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 old.

Of course, there were some young, fresh faces, but they were very humble and had blank eyes, and it was obvious that they were just coming with their elders to meet people.

Only Gu Ming, although young, has an exceptionally handsome figure.

Seeing this, Ma Yun and Liu Chuanzhi walked over and shook hands with him with smiles on their faces.

"Boss Gu is here to join in the fun today?"

Gu Ming 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 ran over here."

Ma Yun pointed at him: "You are so good at group takeout. I can't keep up with my word-of-mouth takeout."

"Just messing around, just messing around."

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 Mr. Gu would reject it later."

Gu Ming looked at Ma Yun and said, "The e-commerce business belongs to Mr. Ma. I am a small family, so how dare I touch this."

"Hey, you can't say this nonsense. Holy shit, the industry needs a hundred flowers to bloom to develop together. If you do group selection, all Taobao's resources will be used for you."

"If I don't do it, I don't want to become Taobao's downstream channel merchant."

Liu Chuanzhi looked at the two of them with a smile: "Mr. Gu didn't bring his wife with him?"

Gu Ming 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. Gu, I have a project I want to discuss with you and hear your opinion."

"What project?"

"Mr. Gu, have you heard of cloud computing?"

Just as Gu Ming 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 they were very harmonious and friendly with each other.

Gu Ming 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 be considered a test. Both Taobao and Jingdong are somewhat worried that Gu Ming's third fate will be in the e-commerce field.

"I'm not in the e-commerce business. I'm more interested in the cloud computing that Mr. Ma said. The cost of servers today is too high. If I want to do it, I need to make an industrial innovation."

"Mr. Gu, 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 5 minutes later, more and more people finally crowded into the inner field.

As they entered the scene, the shutter sound at the scene finally became much quieter, and the cameras in the hands of many reporters almost filled their memory.

There's nothing I can do about it, it was all a famous scene just now.

Gu Ming and Ma Yun shook hands publicly for the first time. Gu Ming personally admitted that he had a wife. Lei Jun and Ma Yun joked with each other, and Liu Qiangdong whispered with Gu Ming.

Damn it, if this was posted online, it would be a trending topic tomorrow.

Zhou Shirong frowned slightly at this time and looked at Xue Buqun: "Is that person Gu Ming, the president of Pintuan?"

"Yes, the biggest oligarch in the domestic o2o field."

"So young?"

"College students are about to graduate this year."
