After Li Ze invested in Biadi, without the constraints of the opposing shareholders, Wang Chuanfu quickly contacted Chang 'an Qinling Car Company to discuss the acquisition.
This was a car company that he had been optimistic about before, but he had never actually made contact with it.
According to the original trajectory, Biadi would only complete the acquisition of Changan Qinling Car Company in January next year, and then officially enter the auto industry.
Now, because of Li Ze's intervention, this time was brought forward by at least half a year.
After all, contact was contact. They still had to negotiate. It would take a certain amount of time to complete the acquisition.
However, Li Ze didn't pay too much attention to this.
His investment in Biadi was just a one-time investment, as well as a plan for the future production of Fengchi electric cars...
Just as Li Ze had just completed his investment in Biati.
Sun Ting from Zerun Technology suddenly rushed to his office to look for him.
"CEO Sun, what's the matter?"
Seeing Sun Ting's serious expression, Li Ze couldn't help but ask.
"Director Li, did you pay attention to the press conference yesterday?" Sun Ting quickly replied.”
Li Ze was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously,""A press conference that the US has a conscience? What does it have to do with our company?”
Li Ze really didn't pay attention to these things. He didn't even know that the United States had a press conference yesterday.
" Yesterday, the United States announced at the press conference that they would be launching two MP3 players, the M100 and the F100, targeting the high-end and mid-end markets respectively," Sun Ting said.”
"The M100 is priced at 2899, while the F100 is priced at 1499. These two products are obviously competing with our Z series and D series.”
That's right.
In the current domestic market, Zerun Technology's D-series MP3s, which were priced at more than 1,000 yuan, were already classified as mid-range products.
Therefore, the F100 that was priced at 1499 was also directly declared to be a mid-range product.
As Zerun Technology's MP3 players continued to sell well in the country, many manufacturers had long been tempted to enter this market.
Even Mi Guoliang thought the same.
Nowadays, there were many low-end MP3s that cost a few hundred yuan each.
However, the configuration, performance, quality, and other aspects of the products were a little ridiculous…
Although the appearance of those low-end products had a small impact on the sales of Zerun Technology's D-series products, the impact was not significant.
After all, even the D-series MP3s were better than the low-end products that only sold for a few hundred yuan.
Not to mention the high-end Z series.
Those low-end products did not pose any direct competition or impact on the two series of products of Zerun Technology.
Therefore, Li Ze ignored him.
However, the two MP3s released by America's Liangxin were obviously aimed at the mid-to-high-end market occupied by Zerun Technology!
Sun Ting continued," In addition, the United States has also announced that it will officially launch two MP3s in the domestic and American markets next Wednesday. It will also continue to develop overseas markets.”
" This is clearly trying to replicate the path that Zerun Technology has taken…"
After hearing Sun Ting's words, Li Ze was stunned for a long time before he finally said," I didn't expect that America would want to enter the MP3 market as well.”
"However, where did they get the confidence to price their high-end and mid-end products higher than our Z-series and D-series?”
At this point, Li Ze couldn't help but laugh. He looked at Sun Ting and asked,"Director Sun, do you know the specific configuration parameters of their two products?”
Sun Ting immediately replied," I've taken a closer look before. The configuration, parameters, and components of their two products are basically similar to our Z2 and D2.”
" However, because I didn't get the prototype, I don't know how the user experience will be…"
"But we can be sure that when they developed these two products, they must have developed them directly against our two products.”
"Also, because I've worked in America for a few years before, I asked my old colleagues about it.”
"As early as the end of last year, America had already set its sights on the MP3 market and held several internal product discussion meetings.”
"After a few internal discussions, the MP3 product development department was officially established at the beginning of this year, and the two product projects, the M100 and the F100, were established.”
"Because the United States already has a production line for electronic products. With a little modification, it can be directly used to produce MP3 players.”
"At the same time, we also have our own sales channels. In addition, they think that they are a well-known big company and a big brand. That's why they dare to set prices higher than our Z series and D series.”
"I also heard that at the internal seminar of the United States, a vice president even publicly declared that even a small company like Zerun Technology, which was just founded and insignificant, could achieve such great success in such a short period of time.”
"If they want capital, they have capital, resources, channels, connections…There's no reason for them to fail in the MP3 market and lose to Zerun Technology!”
Obviously, even if Mi Guoliang thought that it was his old boss, Sun Ting's arrogant attitude and words were also filled with ridicule and disdain.
Li Ze laughed again and narrowed his eyes.""This Mi Guoliang is probably living in his own dreams.”
"Do you really think that Zerun Technology can easily snatch the market away from us after we've had the advantage of being the first to move for a whole year and have occupied the market first?”
"Moreover, the price of the product is higher than ours. He's so conceited that he's almost arrogant!”
"Not to mention, Zerun Technology is no longer the Zerun Technology that was just established.”
"We don't just sell MP3 hardware. We also have iMusic, as well as the entire music library copyrights of the two largest music copyright associations in the United States, ASPAC and MIB!”
"In China, there might still be some people who buy their products for the sake of the American brand, but overseas, hehe, it's not that I look down on them.”
"They want to arm wrestle with us? Tsk, I think they're dreaming!”
"Alright, we don't have to change our original strategy just because the US wants to enter the MP3 field.”
" Just based on their pricing, their uncreative products, and their mediocre designs, I want to see how they're going to get bumps all over their heads…"
When Sun Ting was introducing the two MP3s that Mi Guoliang thought about, Li Ze also used his computer to check on the information of Mi Guoliang's press conference yesterday and roughly glanced at the other party's products.
Therefore, Li Ze didn't care about his competitor's presence at all.
At the very least, before the other party came up with a truly competitive product or changed their current pricing strategy, the United States did not have any capital to compete with Zerun Technology in the MP3 field!
Not long after Sun Ting left, Li Ze suddenly received a call from Da Qiangzi.
After picking up the call, Li Ze smiled and said,""Qiang Zi, why did you call me? Don't tell me you've already burned through the money from the last round of financing in just over a month?”
Hearing Li Ze's words, Da Qiangzi quickly said over the phone,""No, no, Director Li, you're joking. How could a whole 20 million yuan be burned down so quickly?”
"I'm calling you today because I want to talk to you about the development of Goudong Mall during this period of time. On the other hand, I'm calling because of the two MP3 products from Zerun Technology.”
"Oh?"
Li Ze smiled, seemingly unsurprised."You want Zerun Technology to supply the goods to Goudong Mall, right?”
"Yes, Director Li is indeed very perceptive. He can't hide anything from you!”
Big Hadron flattered him and immediately said,"I remember that you mentioned to me that you were considering selling Zerun Technology's MP3 player on an e-commerce platform.”
"It's just that you considered the cost of manpower, so you temporarily dismissed this idea.”
"And now, our Goudong Mall itself is adopting a self-operated model, so there's no need for Zerun Technology to set up a special e-commerce marketing department.。”
"You can directly ask Zerun Technology to supply the goods to our Goudong Mall and send them over. "The rest will be handled by our Goudong Mall. We only need a few people from Zerun Technology to be responsible for the docking. It won't be too troublesome.”
"What do you think?"
After listening to Da Qiangzi's words, Li Ze pondered for a moment and said,""That works too. How about this, you can discuss the details with CEO Sun of Zerun Technology. I'll tell her later. You can take down her office phone number and look for her directly…"
Li Ze immediately told Da Qiangzi Sun Ting's office phone number.
Da Qiangzi quickly wrote down the phone number and said gratefully,""Thank you for your support, Chairman Li!"
Li Ze smiled." There's no need to be so polite with me. I'm a major shareholder of Goudong Mall after all." Moreover, this was beneficial to Zerun Technology itself. It could more or less increase sales.”
Then, Big Hadron told Li Ze about the recent development of the East Dog Mall.
With the 20 million yuan that Li Ze had raised, Da Qiangzi had already negotiated with many product suppliers for supply cooperation, expanding the product range of Goudong Mall.
In addition, he rented a large warehouse in the capital to store goods.
At that time, all the products sold on Goudong Mall would be shipped directly from their warehouse...
After ending the call with Da Qiangzi, Li Ze told Sun Ting about the supply of goods to Goudong Mall from Zerun Technology. As for the rest, he let Da Qiangzi discuss it with Sun Ting. He was too lazy to ask.
……
May Day was approaching.
On the 30th of April, after work, Li Ze instructed his chauffeur, Jiang Ming,""Ah Ming, drive to Shanghai Jiao Tong University…"
Jiang Ming was about 27 or 28 years old. He was hired by Li Ze after his meeting with Wang Chuanfu.
The other party was not only a veteran, but also a veteran of the special forces. His driving skills were very good, and his skills were also very good.
He could be a driver and bodyguard at the same time.
"Alright, boss!"
Jiang Ming immediately replied.
Then, she quickly went forward and opened the car door for Li Ze.
After Li Ze got into the car, he closed the door and sat in the driver's seat…
As the May Day holiday would start tomorrow, Jiang Yuxuan only returned home during Qingming Festival, so she did not plan to go back this time.
In addition, May 2nd, which was March 20th in the lunar calendar, happened to be Jiang Yuxuan's 19th birthday.
Li Ze thought about celebrating her birthday with his son.
He asked Jiang Ming to drive to Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
Li Ze had already told Jiang Yuxuan beforehand that he would come and pick her up.
Therefore, when the car drove into Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Li Ze called her again and asked her to get off…
When Li Ze's car arrived at the roadside below the girls 'dormitory, he saw Jiang Yuxuan already waiting there.
Jiang Yuxuan also saw Li Ze's car and quickly walked up to him.
"Xuanxuan…"
Li Ze pushed open the car door and got out. He smiled and waved at Jiang Yuxuan.
Jiang Yuxuan was about to respond.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side."Jiang Yuxuan…"
Jiang Yuxuan was stunned and subconsciously turned her head to look.
When she saw that it was her class counselor, she quickly replied,"Teacher Lin!"
"Yes."
Teacher Lin nodded slightly, then glanced at Li Ze and the Mercedes-Benz S600 beside him. He couldn't help but frown.
Li Ze was also sizing him up.
In fact, Li Ze was a little surprised when he saw the other party.
" Xuanxuan's teacher looks quite young. He seems to be in his twenties, probably not much older than Xuanxuan. Moreover, she was also very beautiful. She had the gentle and demure temperament of a young lady from a wealthy family.'
Just as Li Ze was slightly surprised, Teacher Lin looked at Jiang Yuxuan again and could not help but say,"Jiang Yuxuan, you're still a freshman. As your teacher, I really don't want to see you go astray.”
"I heard that people have been driving luxury cars to look for you recently. They even used a lot of roses to make a big heart shape outside the dormitory to confess to you.”
"What a big scene!"
"I thought it was just a matter of you young people falling in love. Teacher couldn't say anything. But you…"
At this point, Lin Wan paused for a moment and glanced at Li Ze. She was a little angry, or rather, she said resentfully,"You're only a freshman, not even twenty years old!”
"But this person…is at least ten years older than you, right? Are you sure you're dating and not…"
Lin Wan held back her words. She took a deep breath and continued,"There are some things that are really unpleasant to hear, so Teacher won't say them directly.”
"In short, I hope you can have self-respect and self-love. Don't be blinded by material wealth and do things that you will regret in the future…"
Hearing Lin Wan's crackling call, Jiang Yuxuan fell into a daze and looked at her in shock.
Then, he quickly waved his hand and explained, not knowing whether to laugh or cry,"Teacher Lin, what are you talking about…"
Before Jiang Yuxuan could finish her sentence, Li Ze's face was already filled with black lines. He couldn't help but interrupt,"Wait a minute, this…this Teacher Lin, right?”
"The meaning of what you said just now…You can't possibly think that I'm 'tickling' Xuanxuan, right?”
Lin Wan looked at Li Ze and Jiang Yuxuan's reactions and couldn't help but frown. She felt…as if, as if, she had made a mistake?
Could it be that it was not what he thought?
She couldn't help but look up at Jiang Yuxuan.
"Teacher Lin, this is my cousin…" Jiang Yuxuan hurriedly said.
Err…
"He, he's your cousin?"
Lin Wan opened her mouth in shock.
Immediately, she felt awkward.
She looked at Jiang Yuxuan, then at Li Ze. When she thought of what she had just said…she wished she could find a hole in the ground and hide in it. It was a scene of death!
Her face instantly flushed red…
Jiang Yuxuan looked at her innocently." Teacher Lin, this is really my cousin. My mother and his mother are sisters!”
"Uh, hehe…"
Lin Wan smiled embarrassedly and said,""That, Jiang Yuxuan, and this…"
She then looked at Li Ze, not knowing how to address him.
"My cousin's name is Li Ze," Jiang Yuxuan quickly said.”
Lin Wan heard this and quickly said," Mr. Li Ze, I'm really sorry. I heard some rumors about Jiang Yuxuan before, so…I misunderstood."”
"I'm really sorry!"
Initially, Li Ze was still a little unhappy. However, when he saw the other party's helpless look, he thought that she was concerned about his cousin after all, which caused such a misunderstanding.
Hence, Li Ze was too lazy to argue with her.
"Alright, Teacher Lin, you don't have to apologize anymore." It's just that it's better to figure out the situation first next time, don't you think?”
Without waiting for the other party to reply, Li Ze continued,"Also, Xuanxuan is my cousin. No matter what, she won't go to the extent of being…being that thing.”
Seeing that Li Ze did not seem to pursue her misunderstanding, Lin Wan could not help but secretly heave a sigh of relief.
However, when she thought of what she had just said, her cheeks could not help but feel hot.
It was too awkward and embarrassing!
She actually misunderstood that her student was being tickled by her cousin…
But…Li Ze?
Why did this name sound a little familiar?
It was as if he had heard it somewhere before…
Lin Wan suddenly felt that the name Li Ze was very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before. She couldn't help but frown and ponder…
