Chapter 1317: You Are so Powerful that You Cannot Be Willful
In the office, there are tables and chairs, a few computers, and a sofa in a corner.
It looks like an ordinary person's office.
This made the old comrade Ren, who was originally a little nervous, feel slightly comfortable and inexplicably calm.
The new owner in front of him was not as arrogant as other people with similar power. He was just holding coffee in his hand and squinting his eyes slightly, looking like he was enjoying the current atmosphere.
Old Comrade Ren suddenly didn't know how to speak.
However, Wu Tao was not in a hurry, but Comrade Ren, who couldn't stand it anymore, started to get a little anxious.
To be more precise, he was probably a little embarrassed.
Until Wu Tao put down his cup and said inexplicably, "Mr. Ren, you are an expert in the field of Internet equipment and infrastructure. Then let me ask a question, and you can evaluate it for me."
"Excuse me, Mr. Wu." Old Comrade Ren responded, leaning slightly.
Wu Tao tapped his fingers rhythmically on the wall of the cup, "Broadband is still in the popularization stage, and the Internet user community is still in the cultivation and development stage. This is very different from the Internet world I imagined."
"...If one day, computers at home can begin to replace traditional TV programs, with the many advantages of on-demand viewing, watching dramas at will, and avoiding advertisements, how long will it take for your industry? Walk?"
These words... Old Comrade Ren was moved.
A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door.
It is true that this is a long way for the industry. But for equipment suppliers like Huawei, it is equivalent to a huge market.
Very big!
The blood in Old Comrade Ren's heart suddenly surged. It was regrettable that when he was discouraged half a year ago, he even had the idea of selling the company.
Is this tantamount to allowing too much surging market?
However, Wu Tao's words are not finished yet, "...if one day, everyone's mobile phone can watch programs, follow dramas and socialize anytime and anywhere, occupying most of the fragmented time of ordinary people..."
This..., Old Comrade Ren took a deep breath, it was a bit beyond his imagination.
Then there was a burst of blushing, heartbeat, and heavy breathing. Old Comrade Ren almost couldn't control himself.
It wasn't until a moment later that he came back to his senses, and when he saw Mr. Wu's eyes fixed on him, he suddenly said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Wu, I conservatively estimate that this is at least a market worth hundreds of billions..."
After a pause, Lao Ren suddenly felt blessed. He put his hands on his knees and said with a sigh: "Mr. Wu, I understand what you mean."
Wu Tao nodded, and then changed the subject, "Very good. However, this is only one aspect."
Old Comrade Ren didn't need to say anything. He was filled with the feeling of being introduced as a confidant. "Please give me some advice, Mr. Wu."
"Hmm..." Wu Tao was too lazy to be polite to him. He touched the Cisco materials on the table, handed them over and said, "Often a good opponent can inspire people a lot. Cisco is even excellent in this regard."
"...So if you want to be invincible in the next competition, you must have a long-term vision, be down-to-earth, learn from your opponents, and even do better and more comprehensively than your opponents."
Lao Ren nodded in agreement.
Wu Tao's voice continued, "Of course these are the most basic. More importantly, we must adhere to the people-oriented approach and implement the talent strategy. It is best to be able to start from the beginning..."
Compared with the sincere meeting with Comrade Lao Ren, Wu Tao and Valentine's meeting again seemed to be reserved.
After all, we are not familiar with each other.
Moreover, the professional mutual compliments during the first meeting were simply skipped.
Because it is neither necessary nor fresh enough.
On the contrary, Valentine seized this opportunity and took a long detour to express his inner respect for Huaxia Wu.
Wu Tao's cheeks twitched when he heard it, and he thought to himself: Is this old guy really fake?
Fortunately, old Valentine didn't go too far.
Otherwise, there is a real possibility that we will not be able to talk about it anymore.
Then, Old Valentine explained the purpose of his visit. He was really discussing Cisco's self-help method and wanted to ask for some advice.
Although the intention was not beyond Wu Tao's expectation, when it came out of Old Valentine's mouth, he still felt it was strange.
Fortunately, he had already thought of his words and caught Chambers to praise him.
Of course, Chambers himself deserves this praise.
Then Wu Tao said bluntly, "I believe Chambers will be able to properly handle this incident. And even if he does nothing, as Cisco continues to launch various plans in China, the situation will get better sooner or later." "
Old Valentine looked solemn when he heard this.
This may not sound very informative at first, but when you think about it carefully and verify it, you can’t help but smile.
"If Chambers knew that Mr. Wu appreciated him so much, I'm afraid he would also be very happy." Old Valentine told lies without blinking an eye, "But I still have a merciless request. I don't know that Mr. Wu... …”
It turns out this is the real thing.
Wu Tao burst out into a smile and said unhurriedly: "Please tell me."
"I would like to think that when the media conducts an exclusive interview with Mr. Wu, can you say a few words of improvement for Cisco or Chambers? After all, now, both the industry and the media care more about your opinion of Cisco's development. Attitude."
"Mr. Valentine is joking," Wu Tao waved his hand, "The American media has always been independent and fair, and my words are just an opinion."
"NONONO," Old Valentine broke into sweat upon hearing these words, "Mr. Wu..."
"Okay, Mr. Valentine," Wu Tao nodded slightly, "If I have the chance, I will."
Finally achieved the goal.
Old Valentine wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his strands of hair seemed even more sticky, but he still seriously promised: "Mr. Wu, if we have a chance to cooperate in the future, believe me, whether it is me or Sequoia Capital will spare no effort.”
The attitude is very satisfying.
In fact, it's probably not necessary.
Even so, Wu Tao still shook the other person's hand and expressed his gratitude seriously.
After sending Valentine away, Wu Yingying couldn't wait to knock on the door, holding a piece of information with an anxious look on her face, "Boss, this is our acquisition plan for Netflix, do you want to take a look?"
When Wu Tao heard this, he did not accept the information. Instead, he smiled and said, "I'm afraid this matter will collide with the Quantum Fund and the Morgan Consortium, right?"
Wu Yingying thought about it, it was true!
My boss mentioned this small company three times and five times at the meeting, and even he could smell it, let alone the two tit-for-tat bosses?
Even more boldly, maybe even Ivanka will have the idea to take the opportunity to take an express train.
"What do you mean, boss?"
Wu Tao didn't think about it, and just said to Wu Yingying: "Anyway, Netflix is already meat on the plate, and it can be acquired by anyone. On the contrary, we take action, the target is too big. In this way, you inform Molly and the others, and I will come tonight Let’s discuss it at home.”
