Chapter 1088 Chat
When he saw Sun Yaoliang and Song Yangming, Zhang Hao welcomed them in warmly.
After the tea was served, the three of them sat casually on the sofa, sipping Zhang Hao's good tea and chatting.
Zhang Hao did not ask them about the details of their cooperation, but just talked about some ordinary things with a smile. Sun Yaoliang and Zhang Hao were not strangers, or he was more familiar with Zhang Jianguo. After all, Sun Yaoliang was the general manager of Si Te's sales company, and Zhang Jianguo's logistics company was responsible for Si Te's warehousing and transportation business. The two had cooperated together for a long time, and because of Song Yuanchao, Sun Yaoliang and Zhang Jianguo were very good friends.
As for Song Yangming, it is even more unnecessary. He has known Zhang Hao since he was a child. It can be said that he grew up under Zhang Hao's eyes. Song Yangming admires this uncle who is only a dozen years older than him. As a Chinese, he was able to stand out in the Internet field while studying abroad. He not only founded the popular Netscape company at that time, but also was one of the founders of Yahoo.
From the 1990s to around the year 2000, Zhang Hao's status on the Internet was unparalleled, especially in China, where he was even more famous.
Two thousand years later, the Internet entered a trough, and a large number of Internet companies that were once in the limelight went bankrupt. Many people originally thought that Zhang Hao, who made his fortune on the Internet, would never recover in the Internet winter. However, no one expected that Zhang Hao not only did not stop his steps in the Internet, but instead took the opportunity of the Internet winter to adjust his industrial structure in the Internet and further expanded his Internet empire through a series of mergers and acquisitions and investments.
When the Internet winter was over and the market gradually recovered, Zhang Hao's actions paid off. In the development of the Internet in China and around the world, many well-known Internet companies have Zhang Hao's shadow behind them, and they are inseparable from Zhang Hao's capital injection.
Now, Zhang Hao has gradually faded out of the Internet. As time goes by, his popularity has been surpassed by some newcomers, and he has gradually disappeared from the public's sight. However, people in the industry know that although Zhang Hao is no longer in the industry, his legend is still there. He has only faded out, but has never really left the industry. He just stopped showing up and focused on his own business.
Song Yangming couldn't help but ask about the situation of Zhang Hao's company. When talking about this, Zhang Hao couldn't help but be overjoyed and talked about his current company's research and development and achievements.
After fading out of the Internet, Zhang Hao devoted more energy to the drone project. Today, his drone company is very famous in the world. The technology of the civilian drones it produces has reached a very high level, even better than the military drones many years ago.
Although as a non-state-owned enterprise, it is impossible for Zhang Hao's company to develop military drones, but due to his continuous updating of technology and huge investment in research and development over the years, he has controlled many key patents in the field of drones. Many of these patents are also related to military drones. In this case, Zhang Hao's company will inevitably be subject to some restrictions, but will also provide some technical support to a considerable extent.
In addition to the drone project, Zhang Hao's company is also moving into more cutting-edge fields. For example, Zhang Hao recently established a new company that engages in photovoltaic research and development.
As a clean energy source, photovoltaics will have a wide range of uses in the future. Zhang Hao got involved in this industry on the one hand because of his interest in the industry, and on the other hand to use photovoltaic technology to provide technical support for other fields in the future if possible.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. There are some things I can't go into too much detail about. After all, they involve some technical confidentiality issues. Besides, if you listen to too much, it won't do you any good." After a brief chat, Zhang Hao laughed and changed the subject.
Sun Yaoliang nodded thoughtfully, and Song Yangming seemed to understand something.
"By the way, Brother Sun, Yangming, I already know why you are here. Brother Yuanchao called me before. I think Si Te's layout on the Internet is a wise choice. The development of the Internet is really too fast. Although online shopping has just emerged, judging from the current development speed, I am afraid that it will directly impact the traditional market in a few years."
"From this point of view, now is the most appropriate time to intervene. If it is too late, it will be difficult to reverse the situation. I support this. In addition, Shenghua has also had private communication, so there will be no problem with this."
"That's great, thank you so much!" Sun Yaoliang said with a smile.
Zhang Hao waved his hand and smiled, "There's no need to be so polite. Besides, cooperating with a big company like Si Te will also be very beneficial to the promotion of Internet shopping projects. From this point of view, it is also a mutually beneficial result. I think the Internet company will definitely not object to this cooperation project."
"But you should also pay attention to one thing, that is, the specific implementation still needs to be discussed between you and the Internet companies. You also know that I rarely interfere in the specific operations of Internet companies now, and now the largest Internet shopping website in China is eBay, and Hangzhou has come from behind. However, they used B2B as their main operating platform before, and only recently began to get involved in B2C and C2C projects. Although the momentum is very strong, there is still a gap compared to the current eBay."
"Of course, personally, I am more optimistic about Hangzhou. After all, my main investment in this big project has been transferred to Hangzhou." At this point, Zhang Hao couldn't help laughing, and Sun Yaoliang also laughed.
After laughing for a while, Zhang Hao continued, "Nominally, I own a large proportion of the shares in Hangzhou, but investment and operation are two different things. When I invested, the other party discussed conditions with me. One of them was that the investor must not intervene or interfere in the normal operation of the company. The operation must be the responsibility of their team."
"I didn't have this idea in the first place, so I agreed to it. From this point of view, I only have the right to make suggestions to them but not the right to make decisions. Do you understand this?"
Sun Yaoliang nodded. He had already understood this situation before coming. Zhang Hao reiterated this now just to let Sun Yaoliang and others know clearly the scope of his authority in cooperation with Internet companies. Don't put all your hopes on him. The key is to let Si Te and Hangzhou City have actual negotiations.
"Uncle Zhang Hao, although you only have the right to make suggestions, I think if you make a request to the other party, the other party will have to give you some face, right?" Song Yangming said from the side.
Zhang Hao laughed and nodded, "That's true. We have to save face, but saving face is different from specific business negotiations. Yangming, I'm not saying this to shirk responsibility, nor to perfunctorily answer you."
Zhang Hao pointed in a direction and said seriously, "You haven't had any contact with Hangzhou. You'll know when you get there. The person in charge in Hangzhou is not simple, or in other words, he is very unique in all aspects, especially his mouth..."
Zhang Hao smiled and shook his head: "This guy can turn black into white, and can also talk about death as living. Sometimes I feel that he should not start an Internet company. Being a scholar is more suitable. But then again, he really was a teacher before. Hahahaha, you will understand the details when you meet him. What I said just now is just to remind you that you have to be careful how you talk when the time comes. Anyway, you have been fooled by him."
"Is there such a person?" Sun Yaoliang asked with interest, stroking his chin and smiling: "Hearing what you said, I am very interested in this person. I must meet him and have a good chat with him when the time comes."
Sun Yaoliang is the founder of Si Te Sales Company. He has been in the business world for many years and is a sales executive. He has rich experience in negotiations and is quite confident. After listening to Zhang Hao's introduction, Sun Yaoliang felt a little competitive. If it was really as Zhang Hao said, Sun Yaoliang suddenly became very interested.
"Haha, Brother Sun, it's better for you to go and meet him. Maybe you two will meet your match." Zhang Hao saw through Sun Yaoliang's thoughts at a glance and said this happily.
Then Zhang Hao told them that there would be no problem with the general direction of the cooperation, and he also supported it. They had just arrived in Pengcheng, so they should have a good rest today, have dinner together in the evening, and wait until tomorrow when Zhang Hao took them to the company to arrange things here first.
After everything is arranged, he will come forward to make an appointment with Hangzhou. Don't worry about that. After the time is confirmed, they will go directly to Hangzhou to discuss. Then it depends on the specific results of the discussion.
Sun Yaoliang and the others had no objection to Zhang Hao's arrangement and agreed to it immediately.
Then they continued to talk about other things. After chatting for about an hour, Sun Yaoliang saw that the time was almost up, so he stood up and said he would go back to tidy up and rest, and see him again at dinner time. Zhang Hao personally sent Sun Yaoliang out of the house, and then asked Song Yangming if he was in a hurry to go back and rest. If not, he had something to talk to him about.
Song Yangming quickly said that he was fine, and they returned to the living room.
Zhang Hao picked up the teapot and brewed a cup of tea for Song Yangming. He put the teapot down and said, "I have something to tell you. Zijun just left today. Did you run into her before you came here?"
"Zijun? She came to Pengcheng? No wonder. I went back to Shanghai before I came here and wondered why she was not at home. My Wenhui and my mother couldn't explain it clearly. We only knew that she said she had something to do and would be away for a few days." Song Yangming paused slightly with his hand holding the teacup and said in surprise.
Zhang Hao nodded and said, "She arrived in Pengcheng last week and stayed at my house. She left only because she knew you were coming."
"Why did this girl come to Pengcheng...?"
"Haha, she is the person who is looking for me." Zhang Hao gave Song Yangming a very unexpected answer, which made Song Yangming stunned.
"VIP?"
"Yes! We need people!" Zhang Hao nodded seriously, telling Song Yangming that he had heard correctly.
