Chapter 44 Can you still help?
Gao Mengting made a lot of money when she was a "Taoke" during her college years, and even had an independent product shopping guide website.
Taoke refers to a profession that helps sellers on e-commerce platform promote products and earn commissions.
Since 2020, the live streaming industry has suddenly ushered in a big explosion. The interactive, display and convenience of live streaming have prompted users' shopping habits to change.
Her Taobao business has suffered a huge blow, and the promotion revenue has become lower and lower.
After careful study and research, she chose to follow the trend of the times and entered this popular track.
I bought a Wuling Hongguang for picking up goods, rented the store, and started a business with two classmates.
Her personal equity accounts for 80%, while the other two students each account for 10%.
They use offline stores as the basic base and expand their business through online channels. With the hurricane of live streaming sales, their business is getting better and better.
However, differences and contradictions were born.
The two partners believed that they had obtained too little and were completely disproportionate to their efforts, so they asked to re-dividate the equity, each of which accounted for 33.3%.
This is obviously something that Gao Mengting cannot accept. Since the store operation, she has mostly paid out the funds. She has sought the source of the store, and the live broadcast style and speech were also designed by her.
The three broke up because of this, and the other two partners filed for withdrawal of shares in accordance with the "Self-owned Partnership Management Agreement" and took away part of the cash flow.
One of the partners in charge of live broadcasts posted a short essay using the store certified account, guiding the fan to slander her boss, the store encountered complaints and a wave of returns, and was eventually banned by the platform.
Another partner in charge of fan maintenance quickly turned the small account he had been operating.
The two started the same business and completely emptyed her.
The online platform suffered a blow of destruction, cash flow was broken, offline customer sources were insufficient, and inventory backlogs could not be digested, which directly led to her falling into the quagmire.
Of course, what she couldn't accept even more was the betrayal of the two friends.
…
During the chat, one or two customers came in from time to time.
When Gao Mengting finished talking about her entrepreneurial experience, it was almost 12 noon.
Tang and Song were silent throughout the whole process, and their eyes looked at Gao Mengting a little distressed.
Originally, they were kind-hearted to bring good friends with employment difficulties and become rich, so the conditions in the "Self-owned Partnership Management Agreement" were very relaxed, which also gave them the ability to turn against each other and back-stopping at any time.
No wonder she was so chewy about "Second-hand Car Sales Contract".
"Do you feel that I'm stupid in some aspects?" Gao Mengting shook her head mockingly, "The three of us are college roommates, and we have a good relationship that can squeeze into a bed to sleep. But I still underestimate the greed of human nature and overestimate my personal charm."
Tang Song pursed his dry lips and said, "I can only say that you are too kind."
Gao Mengting stood up, took out a bottle of mineral water from the cashier and handed it to him, "If you start a business in the future, you must work hard on the agreement. It is best to find a professional lawyer. It is not to take advantage of it, but to make others not have the courage to betray them."
Tang Song held the mineral water she handed over, stood up and looked at her, and said sincerely: "Ms. Gao, I have indeed made my entrepreneurial plans. This time I came here to invite you to become my partner."
"Uh?" Gao Mengting was stunned and said incredibly: "I? Partner?"
They have only met twice in total, and they are not even acquaintances, so why are they involved in starting a business in partnership?
Tang Song took a big sip of water and said, "I have rich and complete information on clothing supply chain channels, and can quickly find the lowest price of the same quality, but I have no experience in my work and need your help!"
Gao Mengting thought for a moment, smiled bitterly and shook her head, "To be honest, I owe a lot of money now, and I'm so anxious every day that I don't have the heart to start over. It's too difficult."
"My early investment is 1 million." Tang Song stretched out his index finger and said seriously: "I have a 200-square-meter independent office under my name, right in Yunxi Building!"
In order to recruit this high-quality talent, he showed off his greatest advantages.
At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly came from the door.
"Mengting! Mengting!"
A boy at twenty years old ran in from outside the store, wearing a shirt and trousers, and looked very sunny.
He also wore a work sign around his neck, which read "Aijia Real Estate Agency".
Gao Mengting turned around and looked at him, wondering: "What's wrong with Yongming?"
Li Yongming gasped and said, "The news I just received is that the leader of the property company is having dinner at Huide, and the supervisor of the investment and development department is also here today."
Hearing this news, Gao Mengting instantly cheered up and said anxiously: "Wait for me and go over immediately!"
Then he explained to Tang Song: "Mr. Tang, I'm in trouble now. Otherwise, let's talk about entrepreneurship later."
Now she has no intention of exploring whether what Tang Song said is true or not, and just wants to get through the difficulties first and pay off the debts.
Besides, starting a business is not a trivial matter. Partners, sources of goods, funds, and trends are too big.
Even if she asked her to do it again, the possibility of failure is not small.
Tang Song saw her mood and knew that this matter was really too urgent.
He said frankly: "I understand, Boss Gao thinks about it again. I am very serious about entrepreneurship. If you are willing to join, we can register a formal company. I will pay the funds in practice, and negotiate the shareholding. I will find a lawyer to formulate a complete company articles to avoid unnecessary problems."
Li Yongming looked at Tang Song who was talking and couldn't help but ask, "What are you?"
"Tang and Song dynasties." Li Yongming of the Tang and Song dynasties nodded and continued to look at Gao Mengting.
Li Yongming frowned and said, "Let's go Mengting! The important thing is important!"
He has been pursuing this college classmate for several years. He knew that Gao Mengting was in the most vulnerable and helpless stage now, so he tried his best to help her and wanted to try to see if she could impress her.
But the boy said that he was "registering a company", "starting a business in partnership", and "paid funds", which was obviously a collision with Gao Mengting's heart.
In addition, the other party's height and appearance were all good, which instantly made Li Yongming's heart sound.
Gao Mengting and Tang Song looked at each other and nodded, "Okay Mr. Tang! Then let's communicate on WeChat. Today I do have urgent matters to deal with, so the store must be closed first."
"Do you need help?" After all, he was a partner he designated, and Tang Song was quite concerned about.
Seeing that Tang Song was rubbing Gao Mengting, Li Yongming still couldn't help it and said angrily: "We are going to negotiate a lease refund contract with the property leader. I told you, can you still help?"
"Yongming, please speak well." Gao Mengting frowned and explained: "Sorry, Mr. Tang, my friend's words are a bit unpleasant. When I rented this store, I signed an agreement with the property company. If the lease period is less than the lease period, I will cancel the lease. I need to make up the remaining few months of rent, and the deposit will be confiscated. You also know my current situation, so I want to apply to the leader of the property company to see if it can be solved in another way or ease it."
"I understand." Tang Song nodded. He had heard of this kind of thing. In order to prevent merchants from running away, many shopping malls will set similar thresholds during the peak rental season.
Gao Mengting looked at the time and said, "Mr. Tang, then that's what we want to do first. We have to take a taxi."
Tang Song took the initiative to speak, "Why don't I drive you there? I hope that Wuling can bring you good luck."
Hearing the word "Wuling", Gao Mengting's eyes softened a lot in an instant, and she nodded gently and said, "Okay, thank you Mr. Tang!"
Then, she took out a beautifully packaged belt from the drawer and handed it over, "This is a gift from the event before, just treat it as a taxi fee."
"Thank you." Tang Song took it with a smile.
Li Yongming opened his mouth, but finally held back and didn't say anything. Who told him not to buy a car yet?
