Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon - Vol 2 Chapter 506
Chapter 506 The Second “Ten Thousand Boys”
“Nanzhou Metropolis Morning Post” has a certain reputation in the southern region, but compared with “Focus Talk”, there is a gap of tens of thousands of miles.
The news report of “Nanzhou Metropolis Morning Post”, if it can be taken by the “Focus Talk” and conduct an in-depth investigation, it will be enough to be included in the work report and be promoted as a model.
For a small reporter of Zhao Liang’s level, the news he reports can be included in “Focus Talk”, which is enough for him to blow for a lifetime.
At this time, Zhao Liang saw that the “Ghost Castle” news he reported was on “Focus Talk”, and the excited expression on his face seemed to have won a lottery prize.
The colleagues around also showed envious expressions. Several young female colleagues looked at Zhao Liang’s eyes differently.
The people who were dining in the cafeteria all put down their chopsticks and looked at the TV, as if they were waiting for the sentence of victory.
On the TV, Teacher Shui looked righteously at the camera and said: “This wholesale mall with an investment of tens of millions and covering an area of 500 acres is considered a face-saving project, and even called a ghost castle by some media!
In an interview, the locality stated that the wholesale mall is operating normally. So what is the truth? Who is lying? Our reporter from the “Focus Talk” program team went to Qinghe City to investigate the truth of the matter in person. ”
When the picture on the TV changed, there was a picture taken by Kong Zhenlong, a reporter from “Focus Talk”, and there was also a narration to introduce Kong Zhenlong’s investigation process.
The TV screen started when Kong Zhenlong got off the train, and then took a 30-round trip to the wholesale mall. After arriving at the wholesale mall, he first gave a close-up of the bus stop sign, and then the footage followed Kong Zhenlong into the wholesale mall.
When pictures of shops busy with renovation appeared on the TV, Zhao Liang’s face instantly turned pale.
“How is this possible!” Zhao Liang exclaimed.
The surrounding colleagues also looked at Zhao Liang with a surprised expression. The scene on this TV was completely different from what Zhao Liang reported.
Soon, those surprised expressions turned into doubts. Several older colleagues even showed disdainful expressions.
Obviously, they have decided that Zhao Liang’s “Ghost Castle” report was fabricating fake news to win the attention of the audience.
“It’s not like that. When I went, there was indeed no half-person in it!” Zhao Liang defended loudly.
However, the picture on TV is contrary to what Zhao Liang said.
“I took the picture at that time!” Zhao Liang then defended.
The next second, the scene of people coming and going in the wholesale mall again appeared on the TV, and the doubtful expressions on the faces of the colleagues next to them became more intense.
Compared with the image data, the image data is obviously more persuasive.
What’s more, this is the report of “Focus Talk”, which is the most authoritative in-depth news report column in the country. How can the content reported by “Focus Talk” be false!
“Focus Talk” and small reporters like Zhao Liang, who do you trust more? Normal people will believe in “Focus Talk.”
Under the host Shui’s serious expression, Zhao Liang’s defense seemed so pale and feeble.
“By the way, foreign newspapers also reported that, they said that the wholesale mall is a ghost castle, even if you don’t believe me, don’t you believe in foreign media!” Zhao Liang defended again.
As soon as Zhao Liang’s voice fell, the teacher Shui on the TV spoke again; “So where did the name Ghost Castle come from? After our investigation, the name Ghost Castle comes from a news report by a foreign media.
The entire content of this news report is to discredit China’s economic development achievements in recent years and completely ignores China’s economic development achievements in recent years. Such a vibrant wholesale mall has also been dubbed the “ghost castle”. Name, then the authenticity of this title is self-evident.
Some irresponsible media in our country did not fully investigate the reports of foreign media, but instead listened to the reports of foreign media directly and quoted directly. So there is the so-called ‘ghost town’ that we have seen…”
“No, I went there to investigate, there was no one at that time!” Zhao Liang defended again.
But this time, the surrounding colleagues slowly dispersed, obviously wanting to stay away from Zhao Liang.
Obviously, Zhao Liang has been blacklisted by his colleagues.
The twenty-minute “Focus Talk” ended soon. Zhao Liang had no intention of eating, and quickly gestured to the lunch box, and then returned to the office.
As soon as he walked into the office, the voice of the leader rang: “Zhao Liang, come here.”
Zhao Liang looked at the leader’s face, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he still walked over.
“Leader, are you looking for me?” Zhao Liang asked nervously.
The leader snorted coldly and said, “Have you seen the “Focus Talk” just now?”
“Leader, listen to me…” Zhao Liang said quickly.
“It’s not necessary anymore. If you have anything, write it in the review book!” The leader paused, and then said: “The review book must be written more profoundly, so that I can also intercede with you and try to keep your job. . But the punishment is definitely not going away! You have a mental preparation, this time you must at least remember it.”
Hearing the word “remembered”, Zhao Liang’s face suddenly turned pale.
Newspapers can also be regarded as work within the system. For people in the system, a recorded punishment basically means that there is no room for improvement in his official career within ten years.
……
The NBA in the United States has entered the playoffs. The Los Angeles Lakers with O’Neal defeated the Trail Blazers in the first round with a score of 3-1.
In the NBA playoffs at that time, the first round was three wins in five innings, and in the second round it was four wins in seven innings.
In the second round of the playoffs, the Lakers met the strongest Jazz in history.
The combination of Karl Malone and John Stockton, after years of running-in, finally reached its peak this season. Even if the Lakers have O’Neal, they are still eliminated by the Jazz.
In this round of the playoffs, Kobe performed fairly well, averaging 8.8 points per game, which also exceeded his average score in the regular season.
The average young player has inexperience in the game and may be able to play regularly, but it is easy to lose the chain in the playoffs, and the data will decline.
However, Kobe’s data has improved. This has also helped Kobe attract a large number of fans. Many fans are optimistic about the future of this young guy.
After the Jazz defeated the Lakers, they eliminated the Rockets, advanced to the NBA Finals, and then met the Chicago Bulls led by Jordan.
Facing the weak inside line of the Bulls, Karl Malone really made a big kill. The Bulls’ rebounding champion Rodman can hardly stop Malone from scoring. Of course, Malone can’t stop Rodman from grabbing rebounds.
In this round of the NBA Finals, Malone and Rodman, a pair of live treasures, turned basketball into WWE professional wrestling, and the two played porcelain to the extreme.
The final result of the game, of course, is the Chicago Bulls led by Jordan, who won the second championship of the second dynasty.
The NBA in the 1990s was known as the era of the “four major centers”. At that time, almost every team was chasing large centers, and the team’s team-building thinking was centered on large centers.
But weirdly, it was Jordan and his Bulls who ruled the 1990s, and the Bulls at the time did not have a great center.
The four major centers only have a chance to win the NBA championship when Jordan is away.
This also shows from the side how terrifying the dominance of Jordan at that time.
Kobe in his young age is really very similar to Jordan in his playing style. Kobe is imitating Jordan for his backward jump shot, the drawbar under the basket, and even the action of biting his jersey. It can be said that the young Kobe is the person who has gone the farthest on the road to learn from Jordan.
Maybe for this reason, many fans will like Kobe and hope that he will become Jordan’s successor.
After the Lakers were eliminated, Li Weidong once again came to the United States to inspect the operation of the Feiyue brand.
James Bond is not only a very good designer, but also a qualified operator. With his efforts, Feiyue is expanding in an orderly manner.
Looking at the financial statements in hand, Li Weidong sighed lightly, and said in his heart: “It seems that Feiyue brand matters, I don’t have to worry about it!”
If he is in China, Li Weidong would not dare to be the shopkeeper. But in the United States, Li Weidong, the boss, does not need to participate in the operation of the enterprise at all.
The system of professional managers has been implemented in the United States for many years. The laws and regulations in this area have been perfected in the United States. As the owner of a business, you can completely delegate the management of the business to the CEO. You only need to show your face on the board of directors. Just listen to the financial report.
Especially after entering the 21st century, large companies in the United States generally prefer to hire high-level managers to manage the companies, while the bosses are hidden behind the scenes.
If the business is not doing well, the CEO is fired and replaced by someone else. If there is a problem with the company, the CEO and his management team are also behind the scenes.
So those obedient Indians became CEOs of various American companies. As a result, the Indians have one more boasting project.
In the world’s top 500, dozens of CEOs are Indians, and Indian companies have the highest management level in the world, and so on. In fact, it is a group of senior wage earners.
However, in the minds of Indians, it is a very glorious thing to work for European and American companies. The emperor of working is a national hero in the eyes of Indians.
Because of the business environment of professional managers in the United States, Li Weidong simply handed over the right to operate the Feiyue brand to James Bond.
If placed in the country, Li Weidong would definitely not dare to do so. If you are not someone you trust very much, you don’t dare to hand over the company to the other party. If you are unlucky and encounter a selfish person, you can play some tricks, maybe the company will be trapped directly.
The domestic regulations on professional managers are not sound after all, and most business owners do not trust professional managers. Therefore, domestic enterprises still focus on second-generation successors.
Seeing Li Weidong put down the financial statements in his hand, James Bond knew that this level was over, and the boss was quite satisfied with the operation of the Feiyue brand.
Next, James Bond began to make requests. He only heard him say: “Mr. Li, our brand has expanded to more than a dozen stores, so I think it’s time to set up a research and development center to develop our own Sneaker technology.”
Li Weidong thought for a moment, and then asked: “Do you have a plan for the R&D center?”
James Bond nodded: “Los Angeles has talents in this area, and I can find them.”
“If that’s the case, let’s give it a try!” Li Weidong paused, and then asked: “Do you have any ideas about the direction of research and development?”
“Not yet, but I want to do further research and development on the basis of air cushions.” Bond replied.
“Nike is doing a shox technology, do you know?” Li Weidong asked.
“I have heard a little bit. I heard that the research and development of this new technology has made progress. My friends at Nike said that this is a technological leap that will lead the revolution of basketball shoes. But what exactly is this new technology? I don’t know.” Bond replied.
Li Weidong replied: “The so-called shox technology is to add vertical elastic pillars to the sole. The elastic pillars are compressed when they encounter external impact, and then when they return to their original height, the explosive rebound force will push the wearer forward. .”
“So that’s it!” Bond nodded suddenly, and then asked: “Should we also develop in this direction?”
Li Weidong shook his head: “No, I don’t think this technology is as easy to use as Nike boasts. This new technology is too risky, and it may even hurt players.
I have a suggestion. We can go beyond hard rubber sole basketball shoes. In this regard, we have many choices, such as using relatively fine nylon fibers to aggregate together, or some elastic rubber for foaming! ”
“Okay, after the R&D department is established, I will let them investigate the feasibility of these two materials.” Bond said immediately.
The two solutions proposed by Li Weidong, the former is Nike’s ZOOM technology, and the latter is Adidas’s BOOST technology.
Nike has three major sneaker technologies. The first is the airmax technology, which is the traditional air cushion, which is always the Nike sneaker master product.
The second one is shox technology. This technology was blown very well when it was developed. It was hailed as the basketball shoe revolution the same as the air cushion technology. As a result, it turned out that it was a failed technology.
Some people think that shox technology will hurt players, and many fans also attribute Vince Carter’s knee injury to shox technology.
The third is ZOOM technology, which is nylon fiber polymer.
This technology has a good shock absorption effect and is very comfortable to wear on the feet. It is deeply loved by consumers. Although basketball shoes with ZOOM technology are hundreds of dollars more expensive, most people think they are worth the money.
In order to counter Nike’s ZOOM technology, Adidas introduced BOOST technology, which is the so-called “feeling on shit.” This technique uses an elastic rubber for foaming.
Li Weidong knows the direction of sneaker development, so he directly named nylon fiber polymerization and elastic rubber foaming. These two technologies, no matter which one is made, can be used as core technologies and compete with top sports brands.
After talking about the R&D department, Li Weidong continued: “I have one more thing when I come to the United States this time, and that is to finalize the next brand spokesperson!”
“Do you want to find another brand ambassador?” Bond nodded, and then said: “Although the guy Kobe is very good and has been improving, there is still a gap between the star players.
We should look for a more famous player as an endorsement. This will help increase our sales and greatly boost brand awareness. Mr. Li, who do you like? ”
Li Weidong smiled slightly and said: “The person I am fancying this time is Tracy McGrady! He is also a high school student.”
