If you don't do this business, you'd really be a fool.
Chen Xiao initially evaluated the purchase price of Jiangzhou Machinery Factory.
The total compensation required for the factory's land, machinery and equipment, and dismissed personnel may total about 10 million.
This price is much lower than the original valuation of Jiangzhou Machinery Factory at its peak.
The reason why Jiangzhou City is so eager to get rid of Jiazhu Machinery Factory.
The main problem is that Jiangzhou Machinery Factory cannot make a profit at all with its current capabilities, but with so many workers and so many machinery and equipment that need to be maintained, it is losing money every day.
Moreover, the equipment of Jiangzhou Machinery Factory has seriously aged, and the products they produce cannot compete with the products produced by the same machinery factories in the coastal city of Yangcheng.
The international community has already heard rumors that Xia Guo will join the WTO soon.
Western companies with farsightedness have begun to develop their own industries in coastal areas.
Under this situation, more advanced machinery and equipment entered the coastal areas of Xia State, and joint ventures or foreign-invested factories were built one after another.
At the same price, Jiangzhou Machinery Factory's products no longer have any competitiveness.
If Jiangzhou Machinery Factory is sold as soon as possible, Jiangzhou City will have less financial burden.
Currently, Jiangzhou City is also carrying out large-scale urban construction, and its finances also need money.
It is definitely not cost-effective to spend this money on a far-constant supply of old juice that cannot generate any profit.
In fact, the vigorous reform of state-owned enterprises began in 1998. During this period, a large number of workers were laid off, and a large number of state-owned enterprises were converted into private enterprises or went bankrupt and closed down.
These are the epitome of an era.
Chen Xiao asked Chen Qiang: "Is there any private boss willing to take over?"
Chen Qiang said: "With such a big mess, who is willing to come over and take over?"
Chen Xiao nodded and said nothing more.
According to Chen Xiao's understanding of the current economic and social development, there are not many individuals or companies that have the strength to take over Jiangzhou Machinery Factory.
Everyone has to figure out what benefits they can get from this transaction.
Obviously everyone feels that this must be a loss-making business.
Chen Xiao doesn’t have 10 million now, but he has the capital to earn 10 million.
Just yesterday, Baidu had called Chen Xiao.
idg is very interested in the 11181 website and is preparing materials to invest in 11181, hoping to become an angel investor of the 11181 website.
After nearly a year of development, the 11181 website has become the most visited navigation website in the country, with very high commercial value.
The exchange of shares between Chen Xiao and Baidu cannot be regarded as Baidu's investment in the 11181 website. At most, it can be regarded as mutual cooperation.
This time, idg gave the website a corresponding valuation and was willing to invest with real money.
In recent years, idg has been very aggressive in the Xiaguo market and has successively invested in Penguin and Baidu.
These two companies will be unicorns on the Internet from now on.
Now I have taken a fancy to Chen Xiao’s 11181 website during the Internet bubble era.
Sure enough, international capital is international capital.
You can always choose your favorite target from the market.
Competition among Internet navigation websites will become increasingly fierce in the coming days. It would also be in Chen Xiao's interests if financing could be achieved earlier.
Chen Xiao is not in a hurry and is patiently waiting for idg's investment.
In the words of Baidu Manager Zhang, Baidu is willing to cooperate with Chen Xiao for a second time even if idg does not invest.
The hasty National Day holiday was over, and Chen Xiao returned to school. He received some not-so-good news from Han Deming of the Department of Materials and Chemistry.
"I asked through my connections, and Nature did not guess our paper." Han Deming invited Chen Xiao to his office. When he said this, he felt very disappointed.
After all, Han Deming valued Chen Xiao's paper very much. He felt that this paper had every hope of being published in the journal Nature.
But it was a pity that Han Demin asked his friends in the UK to inquire and found that Nature magazine had no plans to publish this paper at all.
The paper just fell into disrepair.
Han Deming also asked several of his friends to repeatedly inquire about the reason, whether it was because the format of the paper did not meet the requirements or because the translation was not in place, but there was no news.
However, Han Deming still forced a smile and said: "Fortunately, many heavyweight domestic academic journals have published this paper. We are also communicating with our superiors to see if we can get some experimental support."
Chen Xiao was quite surprised. When he wrote about the role of lithium batteries, he specifically checked the international research progress on lithium batteries.
He can ensure that the paper he writes and the success of the researcher are definitely the first in the world.
And some of these discussions can win international awards.
Under this circumstance, "Nature" magazine actually did not adopt it.
Chen Xiao smiled. Since Xia Guo did not have a high say in academic theory, it was normal for the paper not to be accepted.
If it is not adopted, it will gain less influence, but it does not matter, the carbon crystal is still stored in the back.
After Chen Xiao thanked Tan Deming, he left his office.
Whether he is doing experiments or building a company, Chen Xiao believes that he should still put himself first.
You definitely can’t rely on others.
Looking at Chen Xiao leaving the office in the afternoon, Tan Deming was a little surprised.
"How come this kid isn't disappointed at all?"
It's not that Chen Xiao is not disappointed, but he understands some truths very clearly.
In mid-October, the weather in Jiangzhou was finally cool and summery.
On this day, under the recommendation of Zhang Ke, Kaitli, the head of idg Xiaguo District, set off from Yanjing to Jiangzhou to prepare for an interview with Chen Xiao.
Kaitli holds a thick set of evaluation data in his hands. This time he will formally negotiate with Chen Xiao on behalf of idg. idg also believes that the 11181 website will definitely bring him huge profits in the future.
At the same time, Toyo Sony headquarters.
A Mingyue MP3 was delivered to Shiro Iwata, head of Sony Music Division.
Shiro Iwata and the head of the technical department were playing with this product from Xia Guo, and they were quite surprised.
This product is better than Sony's MP3 in both appearance and quality. More importantly, its price is quite cheap. During the National Day, its sales volume exceeded that of Sony's MP3, which attracted Sony's attention.
Sony executives are very alert and ready to discuss some countermeasures.
At the same time, representatives of Xia Guolangke Company also came to Dongyang.
Netac hopes to introduce MP3 chip decoding technology from Sony and then produce cheaper MP3s in China.
After all, Lingyue's sales performance made Netac very jealous and wanted a piece of it.
It is most cost-effective to work as Sony's OEM in Xia State, or even develop products in the name of cooperation with Sony.
