Chapter 484 The Most Concerned Rich Man
For this alliance, Meng Qian himself stayed in Shanghai for a week, and did not return to the company until March 10, but he still couldn't take it easy. After Sony and the domestic alliance were settled, there was one more thing to do.
Looking at the calendar and rubbing his chin, Meng Qian murmured, "The worst president in Sharp's history, Mikio Katayama, should be taking office soon."
In fact, let’s not talk about the Julong project. In 2006, Sharp did something very sorry for the Chinese people, because Sharp lost to Samsung and LG in the competition of the 7th generation line, and became the third in the world. Time Sharpe encountered financial pressure.
For this reason, in order to solve the financial problem, Sharp decided to purchase the LCD panel from Taiwan Province Guanghui Electronics and install it on its own LCD TV. The cost dropped every minute, but everyone knows that the LCD panel of Guanghui Electronics is cheap, so your LCD TV should also reduce the price Ah, isn't that a waste of time, so Sharp can't tell the truth.
But this is deceiving consumers. According to the laws of Omi and Neon Country, this kind of deceiving consumers will be severely punished. At this time, Takashi Okuda, who was then the head of Sharp’s AV business department, made a suggestion. The law in this field is very imperfect, even if it is discovered, there will be no punishment, and it will be over after an apology.
Therefore, Sharp threw all the LCD TVs purchased from Guanghui Electronics LCD screens to the Chinese market, and assured Chinese users that we are using the company's own original LCD screens.
Around 2007, this matter was still exposed. At that time, Mikio Katayama, who was about to become the new president, went to Huaxia to apologize. Of course, just like Sharp had already prepared, Huaxia would not punish the company for deceiving consumers. Too much punishment, and Sharp just kept things down with an apology and PR.
But in this life, things are not so simple and the reason is very simple.
In China, Meng Qian wants you to be on the hot search, so you have to be on the hot search.
In the past two days, Mitsuo Katayama has indeed become the new president. After taking office, how to suppress the anger of Huaxia has become one of his main tasks after taking office. Also in the past few days, Mikio Katayama received news from Shencheng. , After talking for half a year, there is no result. Huaxia doesn't want to talk about it anymore, and it doesn't plan to cooperate with Sharp.
"What's going on with Huaxia." Mikio Katayama was a little upset. Being the president is a happy thing, so why are there so many things on Huaxia's side.
And on March 9, 2007, there was an event of global concern.
The 2007 Forbes Global Rich List was released.
Mikio Katayama definitely couldn't help but pay attention.
Bill Gates continues to be the world's richest man, worth 58 billion yuan. On this year's global rich list, the most concerned person is definitely not Bill Gates, but the young man from China.
Although the current size of Dafeng Group is not comparable to that of Microsoft, Meng Qian's shareholding in Dafeng Group is much higher than Bill Gates' shareholding in Microsoft.
The development of Dafeng Group in 2006 made Dafeng Group rated as the highest level by many rating agencies around the world, and many consulting companies also raised the valuation of Dafeng Group. As a non-listed company, Dafeng Group’s development speed and particularly good cash flow, The recognized industrial planning and the perfect performance of last year's system and the ancient system, coupled with the acquisition of ATI at the end of the year, and the launch of the Hongmeng mobile phone at the beginning of the year were well received.
In the past two years, the Dafeng Group was in the most important research and development period, and the products were all waiting to be tested in the market. In addition, the sales were not as expected, and the frequent expansion of acquisitions made Forbes press down when calculating Meng Qian's net worth. After pressing, it was finally counted as 11.5 billion yuan.
But this year, Forbes finally assessed Meng Qian's worth at 29.9 billion yuan, and the 26-year-old Meng Qian became the sixth in the 2007 Global Rich List.
In fact, Meng Qian also concealed his personal property, because it involved money laundering later, otherwise, Meng Qian should have reached the third or fourth place in the world after all.
Meng Qian is quite calm, because Dafeng Group currently earns most of its wealth from the Internet. The Internet has always been such a miracle-creating thing. Thinking that Zuckerberg was worth 33.4 billion yuan at the age of 31, that is still a no-brainer. The master of hanging up, I am hanging up.
But Meng Qian was calm, and the others were not. The 26-year-old sixth richest man in the world, the Chosen One who can only be found in novels, actually appeared in reality.
"Let me explain to you that the concept of 29.9 billion is that you win one million lottery tickets every day from the day you were born, and you need to live to the age of 82 to have so much money."
"The calculation upstairs was wrong, because this is 29.9 billion yuan, and you have to borrow it from the sky for another 500 years."
"I always have a vague feeling that our Huaxia may have a richest man in the world."
"And possibly, the youngest richest man in the world."
"Bill Gates became the richest man in the world at the age of 39. Do you think it is possible for Meng Qian to become the richest man in the world at the age of 29?"
"It feels so crazy, this is the charm of entrepreneurship!"
"No, this is the charm of technology!"
At the time when domestic discussions were hot, Meng Qian sent out a message with his personal wind signal, "The thing that Dafeng Group regrets the most in the past two years is that we see opportunities and wealth in the technology industry, but we Can only focus on a small part of it.
And when I stood on a higher mountain and saw more scenery, I realized that it was the same situation on other mountains. Finance, education, management, operations and other fields have entered a new stage.
The 21st century is an era in which knowledge changes destiny and the pattern. Capable people will shine more and more easily in this era.
I look forward to seeing you all at the top of the mountain. "
2007 was the last period of China’s brutal economic development. Based on this year’s senior high school students, they will graduate in 2011. At that time, there will be less and less room to make money by relying on information asymmetry or working hard. After 2010, the gap between rich and poor in China will become increasingly prominent. It is really too difficult to change anything by working hard.
But at the same time, the development of the Internet, the gradual improvement of laws and society, and the increase in per capita income have indeed provided more opportunities for capable people. More and more platforms to be showcased and discovered.
Meng Qian’s words were originally intended for young people in China, but they have caused repercussions all over the world. After all, many things are the same all over the world. Everyone’s economy is developing, everyone’s technology is developing, and everyone needs talents.
Forbes launched a poll of the most concerned rich people. Meng Qian was not eligible to participate in this thing before, because only the top ten people in the world's rich list can participate. Meng Qian, who participated for the first time this year, surpassed Bill Gates in one fell swoop and became the The world's most watched rich man.
No way, age is such a plus, and it’s still self-made, unlike Bill Gates’ background, it’s no secret by 2007, but even if Bill Gates has a background, it’s still very impressive to have such an achievement. Awesome, so he has always been the most popular rich man.
But compared with Meng Qian, Bill Gates seems not so legendary.
When Zuckerberg broke Bill Gates' record as the youngest billionaire, he also surpassed Bill Gates in attention. Everyone seemed to have an inexplicable longing for becoming famous at a young age.
Meng Qian has become a hot topic in the world on this day, and it is no surprise that the overseas country with the strongest response is the Neon Country. After all, Meng Qian is particularly in line with the Neon people's imagination of the protagonist of the second dimension, that is, his appearance is slightly just a little bit
At the same time, Meng Qian has been selling friendly character designs in Neon Country. Under the background that Neon people hate Chinese people, everyone has always felt very good about Meng Qian.
"Why can't our neon country produce an entrepreneur like Meng Qian?"
"Entrepreneurs? What are entrepreneurs? In 2005, they started calling for real estate speculation. Didn’t you hear that? In 1991, the house price in Tokyo, our neon country, was 2 million yuan per square meter. It was the number one in the world. Industry is detrimental to the country, what kind of technology and industry are you engaged in, how can you make money by engaging in real estate!"
"I work at Sanyo, and I feel like I'm just dawdling every day. I don't have any energy at all. The companies in Nihong Country are all rotten. The management above thinks about how to make money, and the employees below think about how to make money."
"Although I really don't like Huaxia people, Huaxia has indeed performed better than us in recent years."
"There is no perfect country. Don't stare at your own shortcomings every day and talk non-stop. In recent years, more and more young people are speaking for Huaxia. Don't forget how Huaxia slandered us! The state manages Huaxia Let’s import our culture, the young people almost forget that they are Neon people! I suggest driving the Dafeng Group out of the Neon country!”
"The Dafeng Group has created more than 10,000 jobs for our neon country. Will you pay them wages if you drive them out?"
"If you don't do well, you depend on others to do well?"
"Why do we ordinary people have to pay for political issues? I traveled to Huaxia last year, and the Chinese people were not as miserable as the propaganda said. Is it cultural invasion or we block the news? The media knows that promoting Huaxia is not good, really. Ridiculous."
"I suggest that you read Huaxia's novels carefully, study the core of Huaxia culture carefully, and learn to face up to the advantages of others is not a bad thing."
The topic of Meng Qian became more and more popular, and Mitsuo Katayama naturally saw it too, but Mitsuo Katayama was not familiar with Meng Qian, so he called Sony's Howard first. According to historical records, Mitsuo Katayama was a very good Those who have good relationships have a good relationship with all competitors in the Neon Kingdom. At the time when the 10th generation line was engaged in a war with Sony, they were able to persuade Sony to cooperate with them and let Sony vote for themselves. One-fifth of the money helped Sharp overcome the first difficulty.
This is related to this person's personality. At the same time, Mikio Katayama is a very xenophobic person. He hates China, Korea, and even the United States.
In fact, although history has rated Mikio Katayama as the worst CEO of Sharp, but in terms of what Mikio Katayama has done, he is very courageous among the generation of entrepreneurs in the Neon Country. When everyone is developing conservatively, Only Mikio Katayama dared to charge.
Many things are like this. If you succeed, you have courage, foresight and courage. If you fail, you are aggressive and irrational. In fact, if you say aggressive, Dafeng Group is more aggressive than any other company. But Dafeng Group succeeded, so Meng Qian became a great man. entrepreneurs.
On March 13, Meng Qian, who was dealing with work, received a call from Howard, "Mr. Meng, do you have time recently? Sharp's new president, Mikio Katayama, would like to ask us to meet."
Meng Qian glanced at the itinerary, "I happen to be going to the Neon Country the day after tomorrow, or make an appointment the day after tomorrow."
"good."
