My Age of Investment

  Chapter 72 is here to live

   "What? You want to open an online shop?"

  On the board of directors, President John thought he had misheard, so he asked again.

  Andrew, with Erlang's legs tilted, was very calm.

  Xia Jingxing nodded, "Yes, Mr. Hennessy, we just want to open an online shop."

  Little dogs and foreign girls followed behind and nodded, making up their minds.

  The old man stalled, "Okay! Boys, isn't Facebook running well? Why do you think of opening an online store again?

  Can anyone tell me what is going on? "

  The last sentence, you can hear the old man John a bit angry.

  It is the first time everyone has seen the gentle principal make such a fire in the past six months of knowing Old Man John.

  Old man John is really angry. In his opinion, leaving the increasingly prosperous social networking site to toss on some online store is a manifestation of not doing business properly and a way of self-destruction.

  The modern business in Europe and the United States has an early enlightenment, and has deep research on diversified operations, and prefers to develop along the upstream and downstream industries because it is more stable.

  I don’t like to step into too big industries, because the steps are too big and it is easy to get to the point.

  Xia Jingxing understood the meaning of old man John, and didn't get angry at all. He calmly replied, "Mr. Hennessy, you have misunderstood our meaning."

  Old man John looked at Xia Jingxing, and asked in a restrained tone: "Then tell me, why did you misunderstand you."

  "First of all, the online store is just a marketing tool for us. Our main business is still a social networking site. The online store should be responsible for a few interns, and it will not involve us too much energy."

   Hearing this, old man John's expression turned a little awkward, "Don’t you sell things online?"

   "Yes, nor is it."

  Xia Jingxing tried to use short language to explain the marketing strategy to Old Man John.

  After listening, Old John finally understood, touched the top of his bald head, and said embarrassingly: "Sorry, I misunderstood you."

  Naturally, Xia Jingxing would not hold on, and said with a smile: "Everyone is doing well for the company, I understand."

  Old man John also went down the steps and began to ask about the online store and how he could help.

  "It may be necessary to spend 200,000 yuan in the initial period to purchase a batch of goods as gifts to the heads of daily newspapers, broadcasting and other associations in various universities."

  Xia Jingxing added, “Of course, this gift is not for nothing. In exchange, we must get a campus exposure opportunity.”

   Andrew smiled and pointed to Xia Jingxing, "You, you, I know, never make a loss-making business."

  "For Facebook, this is not a small amount of money. Are you sure to achieve the intended effect?"

  Old Man John This is looking at problems from the perspective of a small company like Facebook.

  As for himself, he certainly doesn't care much about this small amount of money.

  I am mainly worried that Facebook has spent the money and failed to achieve the expected success.

  When the time comes, whether it is a setback in the company's development, or even failure or bankruptcy, or asking him to make additional investments, it will not be a good thing.

   "There is definitely not a ten-percent certainty, but 70-80% is still there."

  Xia Jingxing did not say too much, because that would only seem too fake.

  Nothing in the world is 100% sure.

  "Then you have to think carefully, do more investigations, and do a more comprehensive plan."

  Old man John doesn’t have much opinion, so he can express himself in place.

"Um!"

  Xia Jingxing nodded, "Surveys and plans will definitely be done. We never fight unprepared battles. You can rest assured."

  "Mr. Andrew, you also talked, without saying a word."

  Xia Jingxing looked at Andrew, who was sitting steadily on the Diaoyutai. He spoke to this fat man with a much more casual tone, and he didn't need to be as restrained as talking to Old John.

   "I don't have any comments, open it, open it now, do you need help? Andrew Law Firm is here to serve you wholeheartedly 24 hours a day."

  When Andrew spoke, the slightly serious board of directors suddenly laughed.

  Even Old Man John laughed. After long-term contact, he also knew that Andrew, a lawyer, was not serious.

   Even more nonsense is that the other party is not a partner of a big law firm at all, but a lawyer of a small law firm, and is the only lawyer!

  He has some doubts now. When the angel investment negotiations were conducted, he was deceived by Darren and this less serious lawyer.

  But the matter is over, there is no point in investigating.

  As long as Facebook develops well, these side matters can be ignored.

   "There are really areas that need your help. We are going to place an order with a Chinese manufacturer, and you have to help review the contract."

   Andrew waved his hand, "No problem, it's wrapped around me."

  Xia Jingxing glanced at the crowd, “If you have no objections, then the board of directors’ resolution will be passed. Let’s hurry up and open the online shop as soon as possible.”

"it is good!"

"pass!"

  ...

  As the secretary of the meeting, Christina sat aside and recorded the contents of the board of directors and the final resolutions.

  All these things are indispensable. At present, there is no full-time secretary, so she will be responsible for it.

  ……

  ……

  Wang Youfu, in his forties, is a small private owner in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He runs a small factory and raises one or two hundred employees. He specializes in OEM and processing clothing.

   Actively minded, he belongs to the group of people who got rich first, and also certified the 1688 website in fashion.

  After joining 1688, he did taste a bit of sweetness, and received several orders from abroad.

  In fact, he was unwilling to join 1688 at first.

  In the eyes of their generation of rash entrepreneurs, can they sell things online? Does anyone dare to buy?

   Isn’t this nonsense?

  Later, the guy who claimed to be the salesman of Ari's Chinese supplier found him over and over again.

  What if China has joined the WTO, foreign trade will surely usher in prosperity.

  These small Chinese manufacturers can promote the products of this "Chinese supplier" member on the website of Alibaba to the world and receive foreign trade orders.

  He saw that although the young man was sleepy and sloppy, his eyes were full of determination.

  This reminded him of his young self.

  The most important thing is that the dog raised in the factory bit someone.

   didn't know whether it was sympathy or was moved by the other party, so he gave the other party a chance.

  Unexpectedly, I can actually receive business online.

  At this moment, his attitude took a big turn of three hundred and sixty degrees.

  I often call the salesman named "Xiaogan" to ask if the other party has any suitable orders, and give priority to my brother.

  He was begging for him, but now he begged for him.

  Who is going to make sense?

  But their generation has suffered, how much money is face worth? Orders are king.

  Today he took out his cell phone again, dialed Xiaogan’s number, and started the day trip and asked: "Xiaogan, do you have an order today?"

   Gan Jiawei is regarded as serving, this old man is more dedicated than the iron army.

  This is something to learn from the other party.

   "Brother Wang, don't worry, I will show you everything. There is an order, and I will contact you as soon as possible."

Gan Jiawei, who was eating bread and drinking mineral water in a rural field in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, replied with a smile.

  To comfort Boss Wang, Gan Jiawei looked back at the village factory behind him, sighed, and tightly grasped the briefcase in his hand.

  He shook his head. He didn't remember the first time he came, but he still couldn't convince the old stubborn gang.

  There is also a saying among the small bosses in these towns and villages in the Yangtze River Delta: fire prevention, theft prevention, and Ari!

  30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don’t bully the young and poor!

After spitting out in his heart, he casually stopped a motorcycle on the side of the road, rushed to the station in the town, and then took the long-distance bus back to Lin'an.

  As soon as he arrived at the company, the supervisor called him aside, handed him a document, and exhorted: “This is an order from the customer service department in California, USA. One hundred thousand T-shirts. You are responsible for following up.”

   "Okay, no problem, leave it to me!"

   Gan Jiawei, who has been running around for a whole day, is still alive and well, his eyes are green when he hears a list.

  After reading the file briefly, he immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed Wang Youfu's number.

   "Brother Wang, come to live, work hard!"
