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'm afraid it will be difficult.
Profitable..."
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 recruitment
It is basically difficult to accomplish great things;
"The prerequisite for doing big things is that the pattern must be big enough. When big companies face the same problem, they will not think about how to build a team from scratch and then develop a product. The solution they will think of first.
, it is to buy the right products on the market directly."
As he said, Ye Chen said again: "Elon Musk will not waste precious time and energy. He will create a Twitter by himself and buy it directly. It is the most economical for him. In fact, we are also
Similarly, if you 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 human resources change, the time will be nowhere to go."
"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 who have been trained will suddenly leave, the past few months may be wasted
, with recruitment and training, half a year of hard work wasted. At that time, we have no other way, we can only do this 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, everything will be the same.
We need to do it 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 definitely 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, one or two years later, you will not be as good as you are now.
It's so strong."
Lang Hongjun pondered for a moment, nodded gently, and sighed: "You are right, your enthusiasm and confidence are consumed less and less, and in the end I was depressed. I was just before, and my first job was quit.
I still think it’s nothing great. After all, I have real talents and learning, so it’s definitely not difficult to find a job. But unexpectedly, after hitting a wall again and again, all my fighting spirit was wiped out..."
Speaking of this, Lang Hongjun suddenly stood there and murmured: "That's how I am, from a proud communications 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 10 billion.
Now.”
Ye Chen nodded and asked him: "How is the foundation of this company?"
Lang Hongjun said: "The foundation of software and hardware technology is very good, but the reason why it has declined in recent years is mainly because the market direction is not right. The person in charge wrongly judged the development direction of the communication market, and later gradually turned his to-C
After the end business was dead, he turned to his old capital and switched to 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 us.
I have experienced it, but now it specializes in hardware equipment and technical support, isn’t it just right for us to serve? 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 technologies of this company directly. Moreover, the remaining company is almost all scientific researchers, although the market is a mess.
But 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 2 billion US dollars. As for how much I 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 then let it design satellites for us. Since it has ready-made technology, it should be able to design satellites in a few months, right?
It takes a few months to produce and 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 they can successfully acquire them, we only need to
If you make certain customized adjustments on the original basis, you can put them into use and develop your own communication satellite according to your needs as soon as three months."
As he said that, Lang Hongjun said again: "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!"
