Chapter 430 Old Duan Visits
"After I come back and settle down, I can often visit you and have a few friends."
"By the way, can I live in your house then? We can meet every day."
Best friend Han Lin did not hide her ambition at all, using Lin Wanyu as a springboard to further contact Gao Yuan.
Then she would find a way to kick Lin Wanyu out, wouldn't Gao Yuan be hers alone?
She was so smart. If she became the wife of the richest man, how face would she have after the news spread? No matter where she went, she would be worshipped by everyone.
"Don't you think it's good abroad? Why do you suddenly want to return to China?" Lin Wanyu felt disgusted.
The moon is rounder abroad, so stay abroad. After seeing Gao Yuan's ability, he wanted to get close to her again.
How come my best friend has become like this after not seeing each other for a few years?
"In fact, I thought it was good abroad before, but after returning to China this time, I found that China is not bad either. In the past few years, China's development has been changing with each passing day. If I stay in China, I may have better development." Han Lin said.
She really didn't expect that, just because she hadn't seen Lin Wanyu this year, she would have been so great.
If Lin Wanyu wasn't doing as well as she was, Han Lin wouldn't feel anything, she would just brag a little, but she would still recognize Lin Wanyu in her heart and would help her.
But she didn't expect that Lin Wanyu was doing hundreds of times better than her, and Han Lin felt a huge gap in her heart.
"By the way, you haven't answered my question yet, can I live in your house?" Han Lin asked again.
"Gao Yuan has to go to work, and I have to go to work too, there's no one to accompany you." Lin Wanyu made an excuse.
"It's okay, I can also come to work at Yuanfang Group. I just don't know if President Gao wants me?" Han Lin blinked at Gao Yuan. In her cognition, Gao Yuan was the chairman of Yuanfang Group and had absolute say.
As long as Gao Yuan spoke, there would be no problem.
Besides, she had the experience of studying abroad.
"I'm sorry, when we recruit externally, we only recruit students from Ivy League schools in the United States. In addition, I have issued an order before that the company strictly prohibits people with connections from joining the company." Gao Yuan said.
Han Lin is naturally not satisfied with the academic qualifications of Ivy League schools. She went abroad just to gild her reputation.
The university she attended can be attended as long as you pay. The students in the class are basically Chinese, and even the teachers who teach are hired from China, fearing that they will not understand the courses.
"Wife, didn't you tell me that you would stay abroad forever?"
Qin Zheng was anxious.
He agreed to stay abroad forever, but he didn't expect Han Lin to return to China. Wouldn't he stay abroad alone?
"Are you from the United States? I don't want to expose you. In fact, I have known that your nationality is China for a long time." Han Lin said, "And your family conditions are indeed good, but you lied to me that you are worth hundreds of billions."
"I think the most important thing for two people to be together is sincerity, and you are not sincere at all. I don't like to be with a liar."
Han Lin actually knew about this matter a long time ago, and she didn't care at first.
Unexpectedly, Qin Zheng was far inferior to Gao Yuan now, so Han Lin exposed the matter, "Are you familiar with Musk? You are just talking nonsense? Do people know who you are?"
"You always think that foreign countries are good and that the air in foreign countries is fresh. I despise your behavior. People like you can deceive those ignorant girls, but you are dreaming if you want to deceive me."
"I am from China, and I will definitely stay in China. I will not settle abroad with you. If you want to settle, you can settle by yourself."
As soon as these words came out, Qin Zheng was instantly angry and embarrassed, "What the hell are you talking about?"
Han Lin exposed his old bottom, and he almost prepared to beat Han Lin up.
"Isn't it what I said? You don't know who your father is? He is a stacker who lends money. People like him should be struck by lightning." Han Lin was also angry, "You lied to me and said that your family is in the high-tech industry."
"Pah!"
A crisp sound rang out, and Qin Zheng slapped Han Lin in the face.
"You hit me? How dare you hit me?"
Han Lin was furious, rushed forward and scratched Qin Zheng's face with her nails.
The two fought each other, and the fight was fierce.
Qin Zheng's father was indeed a stacker, but he had been doing marketing for so many years, which led outsiders to think that he had a wealthy family.
In the overseas Chinese circle, everyone thought that he and Wang Sichao were of the same status.
But in fact, even if Wang Sichao's father was lonely, his net worth was more than 100 billion.
And his father's total assets were only a few billion, not to mention in front of Gao Yuan, even in front of Wang Sichao, it was not enough.
Relying on marketing, Qin Zheng was like a fish in water abroad, and he looked good.
Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharp knife.
"Wanyu, Mr. Gao, help me."
Han Lin naturally couldn't beat Qin Zheng, and looked at Gao Yuan and Lin Wanyu eagerly, hoping that they could lend a hand.
"This is your family affair, we have no right to interfere. I have something else to do next, you guys handle it yourself."
Gao Yuan called the security office and asked them to take them away and call the police.
After taking Han Lin and Qin Zheng away, Lin Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief, "People change. I used to think Han Lin was pretty good, but I didn't expect her to become like this now."
Is this still the Han Lin I used to know?
The difference is really too big.
"She was like that before, but she was just good at pretending." Gao Yuan laughed, "This kind of person is what people say on the Internet, she is afraid that her best friend will suffer and she is afraid that her best friend will drive a Land Rover. On the one hand, she is afraid that you will not live well, but on the other hand, she is afraid that you will live better than her."
"If you are of the same status, you will still be best friends who can talk about anything, but when you live better than her, she subconsciously feels unbalanced and even the tone of her speech becomes weird."
Lin Wanyu didn't know what to say. It's better to have less contact with such friends.
...
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
A high-end business car stopped in front of the gate of Yuanfang Group.
A moment later, an elderly man in his sixties got out of the business car.
He was not tall and fat, but his face was ruddy and he was in good spirits.
"Mr. Duan! Mr. Gao is waiting for you in the conference room."
A vice president came forward to greet him.
"This is Yuanfang Group, so grand."
Standing in front of the gate of Yuanfang Group, General Manager Duan couldn't help but sigh, "Let's go, I'll go meet this rising star in China."
Led by the vice president, General Manager Duan strode into the building.
About ten minutes later, General Manager Duan appeared in the conference room. In front of him was a young man in his thirties, wearing a decent suit, who slowly stood up and walked towards him.
"Welcome, General Manager Duan!"
Gao Yuan stretched out his right hand.
"It's better to meet than to hear about. I heard of General Manager Gao's name when I was in the United States. I originally planned to return to China at the end of this year and meet General Manager Gao. I didn't expect that General Manager Gao also started making mobile phones, so I urgently want to return to China to talk to you."
General Manager Duan said.
If Gao Yuan hadn't started making mobile phones, the two would not be on the same track. Old Duan would have been semi-retired and would definitely not have met Gao Yuan. He would definitely enjoy his old age in the United States.
Unexpectedly, Gao Yuan suddenly entered the mobile phone manufacturing industry, and the Xiaomi mobile phone hot series sold so well that it instantly squeezed the living space of OPPO and VIVO.
Today's mobile phone market is already very complete, and the cake is so big. The Xiaomi hot series has eaten up so much market share at once, selling 30 million mobile phones in a single month. Who of the other mobile phone manufacturers can bear it?
When he found out that Gao Yuan was the financial backer behind Xiaomi, Mr. Duan came to Hangzhou as soon as possible.
"I have been abroad for a long time, and it is also good to come back more often." Gao Yuan smiled.
Gao Yuan did not have a good impression of this kind of person, so when Lao Duan came, Gao Yuan did not go to the company gate to greet him, but asked him to come to the office to see him. Invisibly, Lao Duan is a generation younger than Gao Yuan.
The reason why he did not like Lao Duan was very simple. Lao Duan was a little too much. He immigrated to the United States early and lived freely abroad with domestic money.
Someone once said that this was his own money, and he could take it wherever he wanted, and it had nothing to do with others. But this is not the case. For example, ten people gather at a table to play poker.
The total amount of money on these ten people is 20,000 yuan. No matter who wins, the money on the table is 20,000 yuan.
If one person wins 10,000 yuan, he suddenly stops playing and walks away.
Then the remaining nine people, no matter how good they are, will only have 10,000 yuan of liquid funds on the table, even if they win more.
At this time, another person wins 5,000 yuan and leaves.
There are still 5,000 yuan of liquid funds left on the table. Eight people go to win this 5,000 yuan. No matter how much they win, there will not be much money left.
As long as Lao Duan is still in China, his money is also in China. This money circulates in the domestic market without any problem. He always has to consume, and part of his assets will flow back into society.
But if he takes the money and leaves, there will be less and less money in the domestic market. The water is pumped away, and the pond is getting drier and drier.
If there are more people like Lao Duan, the domestic economy will face a crisis.
When an entrepreneur makes money, he should assume the corresponding social responsibility. Old Duan is the type who made money but didn't want to take responsibility. He simply ran away and made money to contribute to GDP abroad.
"Mr. Gao, you are now in the limelight, and your Yuanfang Group is even more unstoppable." Mr. Duan said, "You made money, but you have to leave us a living."
"There are only a few mobile phone businesses now. The sales of OPPO and VIVO are really terrible. If they continue to squeeze the market like this, we will probably withdraw."
This is the truth. According to the sales of OPPO and VIVO, they can only support about half a year at most.
Mr. Duan really can't bear it anymore.
"What does Mr. Duan mean?" Gao Yuan asked.
"Give us a chance to catch our breath." Mr. Duan said, "OPPO and VIVO have been around for so many years, I really can't bear to see them collapse."
"In fact, we are also seeking transformation, but we haven't thought of any way yet. I have also used Xiaomi's hot series of mobile phones, the quality is really good, and the system is also good."
"This phone is really a loss at 1999 yuan. Can we increase the price of Xiaomi's hot series of mobile phones? Impact the mid-range market, and the price of each phone is between 2500-3500."
In this way, OPPO and VIVO only need to occupy the low-end market and set the price at around 800-2000.
"Increasing the price will affect the reputation of Xiaomi and Yuanfang Group." Gao Yuan said.
"Don't worry, Mr. Gao. I won't let you raise the price in vain. I will give up part of the shares of OPPO and VIVO and give them to Yuanfang Group. Then we can cooperate with each other." Mr. Duan said, "I heard that Xiaomi is in trouble now. Production can't keep up with sales. And your Yuanfang Group mobile phone will be on the market soon."
"By then, I believe Yuanfang mobile phones will also be sold out, and your production capacity will also not be able to keep up. We can also give up part of the production line to produce Xiaomi's hot series mobile phones and Yuanfang mobile phones, and provide the greatest help so that these two mobile phones can occupy the market."
At this point, we can only hope that Gao Yuan will make concessions.
If the cooperation is successful, Yuanfang mobile phones will occupy the high-end market, Xiaomi's hot series mobile phones will occupy the mid-range market, OPPO and VIVO will occupy the low-end market, and the three companies will occupy all the domestic mobile phone market share.
Such a result is a great thing for both Gao Yuan and Lei Jun. The so-called seeking common ground while reserving differences is nothing more than the three companies helping each other and protecting the horns. Whether it is Huawei Mobile or Fruit Mobile, they will face the merger of the three companies and end up in failure.
"What if I don't agree?" Gao Yuan said.
"It's okay to disagree, but if the production of Yuanfang Mobile can't keep up with the sales, you will encounter great troubles and consumers will no longer trust Yuanfang Mobile."
"Without our support, even if it is a trump card, it will not have the expected effect."
Mr. Duan said.
Yuanfang Group is developing too fast, and other aspects can't keep up.
He has grasped Gao Yuan's pain point. After all, it is normal to lack experience when it just started making mobile phones.
Rebuilding the factory and purchasing the production line, even if the speed is faster, it will have to wait until the end of the year.
In the past six months, Mr. Duan has enough time to plan.
"If OPPO and VIVO mobile phones go bankrupt, the production line will still belong to Yuanfang Group." Gao Yuan said coldly.
Gao Yuan has never considered the price increase.
The progress of science and technology should benefit the people, rather than raising the price and harming the interests of ordinary people.
The price of Xiaomi's hot series mobile phones is about 2,000, which is not low, and there is still a lot of profit.
If the price is raised to around 2500-3500, the profit will be even more terrifying.
Gao Yuan is now the richest man in China. He has to take on some responsibilities. He can make money, but he has to make it with conscience.
"Mr. Gao, is there nothing to talk about?"
Mr. Duan stood up and looked at Gao Yuan, "I still hope that our two companies can cooperate. If the cooperation is unsuccessful, it will not be so easy to make OPPO and VIVO go bankrupt."
