Compared with Trump's big mouth, Hillary Clinton appeared to be more sensible and low-key. He did not express any opinions on this transaction and is well versed in the balance of the golden mean.

Of course, this is not because Hillary and Zhao Ziming had a fate, and the incense remains, but the maturity that a politician deserves.

Whether it is approval or rejection, speaking at this time seems untimely.

In response to Trump's inappropriate remarks, Chinese netizens have posted mockingly: "Which green onion do you count, and when you will become president, let's express your opinions."

The implication is obvious: in the eyes of the public, Hillary's victory is set, and you are just an escort. What are you talking about here, like a clown.

Zhao Ziming, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Digital Group, when he was interviewed about his views on US regulation, replied:

"In the "Wassenaar Arrangement Agreement", member states are obliged to notify other member states within 60 days. However, other members of the "arrangement" do not have the right to veto this transaction. The notification of the agreement or refusal of the transfer of the project by the countries is based on On the basis of "self-determination and discretion", all measures are implemented independently by each country.

In principle, the British government has agreed to the merger, and other countries should respect their independent decision-making power. If the US government insists on vetoing this transaction, we can only regret to close the production plant in the United States."

Subsequently, Zhao Ziming issued a public statement regarding the merger:

"ARM is a world-famous and respected technology company, far ahead of other competitors in the field of chip design. We deeply admire ARM.

Currently, we are actively investing in the "Internet of Things" business, hoping to seize the major business opportunities in this market, and the acquisition of ARM perfectly matches this strategy.

This investment also highlights our firm determination to develop the UK market and the competitive advantage of our research team based in Cambridge.

As part of this transaction integration plan, in the next five years, we plan to at least double the number of ARM employees.

In the future, Digital Group will continue to invest in ARM, support its management team, accelerate its strategic execution, and fully tap its maximum potential.After the transaction is completed, ARM will become an independent business of the Digital Group, with its headquarters still in Cambridge.

This is the most important strategy we have undertaken."

Some people applaud Zhao Ziming's strong attitude, and some secretly worry about it, lest it cause the United States to rebel.

However, despite the constant external disturbances, the Digital Group did not respond too much and still proceeded in an orderly manner.

Shanghai, Fenghe Road, Golden Sea.

Li Wei officially retired from Kunlun Investment and held an informal resignation banquet.

Zhao Ziming was naturally there.

With the relationship between the two people, there was no need for this kind of face-saving. The friendship between gentlemen is as watery as water.

However, he recently heard some bad rumors about Li Wei and decided to take this trip.

Although shopping malls are not as good as officialdom, they are also faced with the problems of people taking the tea and making things right and wrong.

Although Li Wei is the leader of Kunlun Investment, he is not the absolute controlling shareholder. Of course, if he does not want to retire, no one will force him.

Now that he has retired, he will encounter the same predicament.

The longer he leaves, the faster his influence declines, which is not subject to anyone's will.

Zhao Ziming came here to support him.

Although Li Wei is not a person who loves power, he will not be bullied. The new Wang Zhiwei is also not a low-key person. After a long time, there will naturally be conflicts.

Since the last time we met, Li Wei revealed that the rapids would retreat, Zhao Ziming had guessed that something happened, otherwise, his departure would not be so sudden.

After a little inquiries, I know that Li Wei's biggest backer has retreated to the second line this year. The two have shared the same honor and disgrace for many years. Without the big tree behind him, it is still unknown whether he can survive the next attack.

Especially on the issue of successor, Li Wei's proposed candidate was rejected, which awakened him even more. He simply washed his hands and officially withdrew.

"Zhao Ziming was there in person, it seems that Li Wei's face is not small",

In the corner of the banquet hall for one hundred people, a middle-aged man in his forties said to Wang Zhongtian.

Wang Zhongtian was silent. Although he changed the court and voted for the new boss, he didn't dare to agree with him, lest he left the impression that he was too obscure.

"You have had a lot of dealings with Zhao Ziming, what kind of person is he?" The man leaned on the sofa, holding a Bordeaux glass at will, with a relaxed manner.

"President Wang, when I contacted Zhao Ziming, he was still relatively immature. Compared with the present, he is totally different from the two. President Si once worked by Zhao Ziming for a period of time. It is better to ask him to talk about it and I will add it. ", Wang Zhongtian replied.

"Oh?" Wang Zhiwei smiled and looked at Si Haikuo who was sitting next to him.

He has just taken over Kunlun Investment, and he really doesn't know the specific details.

Si Haikuo scolded a bastard in his heart. It's really not a pot to open and pick which pot. At that time, as the representative of Kunlun Investment, he was sent to Golden Dragon Loan. In fact, it didn't work at all. The whole process was pure soy sauce.

At that time, he finally caught a flaw in Secretary Zhao Ziming, wanted to make a sound, but no one supported him, he understood his position, and then he paddled the water and watched all the way.

However, when the leader asked, he couldn't answer without answering.

Si Haikuo organized a few words: "Zhao Ziming is quite low-key, giving the impression that he can bear it. He refuses more than cooperates and refuses more than caters. He knows what he wants and what he needs to do to achieve his goals."

Wang Zhiwei showed a curious look: "Oh?"

Si Haikuo: "He hardly accepts any domestic media interviews, but he spends a lot of time communicating with employees. He often goes to the front line to feel how to let the front line artillery fire to command the battle. But he doesn't care about those. He always stays away from the forums and interviews. On the contrary, he often talks with foreign media in order to establish the international image of the company and pave the way for the internationalization of its business."

Wang Zhiwei nodded. Every successful entrepreneur has his own characteristics. Zhao Ziming is like this, low-key and tolerant, with a gap in his chest.

Si Haikuo went on to say: "We all know that he does not manage relationships, does not form cliques, and has obvious shortcomings in interpersonal communication, but few people know that he also puts his power in important government relations and uses clever methods. , The layout is exquisite."

Wang Zhiwei listened and felt that this was normal Zhao Ziming.

If Zhao Ziming is a stunned young man, even if his other abilities are outstanding, he is just mixing up food and clothing, and it is impossible to do such a big career.

After listening to Wang Zhongtian, unwilling to lag behind, he took the words:

"He is a man who thinks a lot, decides and then moves. He does his best to do what is worth doing; he doesn't bother to say anything that is not worth doing. When Golden Dragon Loan was financing the A round of financing, he rarely came forward. The command behind the scenes always holds the direction of the whole negotiation."

Wang Zhiwei drank a sip of red wine, and asked indifferently, "Is he and Li Wei really have such a good relationship?"

Si Haikuo and the two looked at each other, and Wang Zhongtian took the words: "President Li is enthusiastic and cold. Although I have been with him for five years, I don’t know much about his personal relationship, but Zhao Ziming never attends such banquets. Mr. Li I don’t have such a big face. I can rush over this time. It shouldn’t be an ordinary relationship.

Wang Zhiwei heard the words: "If we say so, we have to take a long-term view. Now Zhao Ziming is in the limelight. It's better not to touch it, or not to touch it."

Wang Zhongtian was silent. Who would have thought that in just over three years, Zhao Ziming had grown into a behemoth, an existence that he could not look up to, and a sneeze would cause the economy to move.

I want to...

Si Haikuo greeted: "Yes, I heard that Zhao Ziming is about to be nominated as the vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce. The impact of this acquisition of ARM is too great. If not necessary, harmony is the most important thing."

He was really afraid that the boss would be stupid, so he insisted. At this moment, Zhao Ziming's influence is not something that can be shocked by a district or a corner.

Wang Zhiwei didn't say anything. He thought that the person surnamed Li would take the tea cold, so he could account for his influence. He didn't expect such a powerful foreign aid.

Although he is not afraid in his heart, he must also consider the tolerance of his subordinates. After all, facing such a behemoth, as long as he is a normal person, he will feel a little frustrated.

Wang Zhiwei: "Before I came to Kunlun, I heard that Li Wei intended Zhao Ziming to take over the foundation?"

Wang Zhongtian smiled awkwardly, in the face of the new boss, he couldn't say much.

Wang Zhiwei didn't mean to let them answer either, and he didn't smile.

"What's embarrassing about this. Although I have a high self-esteem, I can't compare with Zhao Ziming. If he is willing to take over the Kunlun Fund, I will immediately withdraw from my seat and wait for it."

Si Haikuo chuckled and laughed.

Of course, the abdication is not Wang Zhiwei's humility, but the scene. The Kunlun Fund's total valuation is not more than 5 billion, and it looks like a behemoth, which is not eye-catching from Zhao Ziming.

Fortunately, Wang Zhiwei also knew about the occasion. He did not force the two subordinates to express their views in person, and then asked: "I heard that Zhao Ziming had a big talk in the company. He only talked about concentration and not democracy. Is there such a thing?

Si Haikuo hesitated, then answered:

"Golden Dragon Loan is like this. Zhao Ziming gave orders. Others obeyed the command. The entire company felt like one. It was not that it was not democratic, but that he was too good and worshipped like a god. Almost all employees would pay attention to his every move. Whenever he moves, whether it is direct or indirect, whether he is seen or heard, he will subconsciously learn and imitate subconsciously. If he makes a sound, no one raises objections."

It was the first time that Wang Zhiwei heard of this situation and motioned him to continue speaking.

Si Haikuo gritted his teeth: "If you just arrive at Golden Dragon Loan, you will find that the people in the entire company are almost exactly the same. These people seem to be carved out of a mold: enthusiastic but temperate, honest but not much, professional but professional. Not showing off, just like their boss, full of mystery."

Wang Zhiwei once again raised his evaluation of Zhao Ziming in his heart, almost reaching the peak of personal charm.

He is no stranger to this phenomenon, after all, it is just a corporate culture.

The corporate culture of Chinese companies is the boss culture, leadership culture, and system culture. Here, it depends not on what you say, but on what you do and how you do it, and it depends on the values ​​conveyed behind the behavior of the leader.

Zhao Ziming is a person who can generate trust. His words and deeds will inevitably affect the entire organization, forming an organizational culture, and becoming an organizational temperament.

Wang Zhiwei sighed: "Zhongtian, you are so lucky to catch such a big fish."

Wang Zhongtian smiled reservedly and successfully invested in Golden Dragon Loan, which became the most dazzling achievement in his resume.

It can be said that if he is willing, he can go to any small and medium-sized fund as a manager with this result.

However, he was quite comfortable in Kunlun, and he didn't mean to quit.

The iron law of venture capital is that you would rather lose 99% of the project than miss the 1% opportunity.

This is the "power law" of investment.What is said is that the return of a fund, that is, its performance, is almost only determined by the one or two companies that have invested the most successfully.

In other words, if you invest in 100 companies, it is very likely that 2 companies have performed very well and turned into Facebook or Golden Dragon Loan, then there are still seven or eight of them, medium-sized, or acquired by large companies, and the rest 90 companies may have died, which means they have lost money.

But the most important thing is that you have to invest in the one or two best companies.Therefore, for venture capital, the fear is not to lose money by investing in the wrong company, but to miss a good company.

To put it bluntly, I would rather miss a thousand shots than miss one.Because the one you missed is probably the company that determines the success or failure of your investment.

Kunlun Investment is a typical case. Wang Zhongtian conducted an internal review earlier and made a big picture of all the companies they had invested in and marked how much returns these companies brought to the entire fund.

It turned out that among the dozens of companies they invested in, the company that brought the greatest return was Golden Dragon Loan, which accounted for 90% of the total return, and the remaining companies together accounted for 10%.

If Golden Dragon Loan is taken out and the remaining investment returns are calculated, the result is still the same. Among the remaining companies, the company with the largest return still accounts for 90% of the total return.

"Okay, let's go and thank Zhao Ziming. After all, the guest is here, and the host can't tell if he isn't there." Wang Zhiwei drank the red wine in the glass and said confidently.

When the two subordinates heard this, they smiled, and they should really thank Zhao Ziming.

After Golden Dragon Loan experienced the "law firm" storm, its stock price bottomed out and rose all the way. Now its market value has exceeded 20 billion U.S. dollars and is favored by domestic and foreign investors.

What is especially valuable is that Kunlun Fund took advantage of the downturn in Jinlongdai’s stock price and absorbed a lot of shares. Now it holds more than 15% of its shares, with a total value of nearly 20 billion yuan. Although Li Wei accounts for the majority of them, it is still one. Huge numbers.

No wonder, it will attract people's salivation.
