After they all left, I sat alone in the office, feeling extremely irritable.
I don’t want to be an ungrateful person. They are all our benefactors. One gave me angel funding and the other gave me venture capital.
Moreover, the investment amount of both of them is not low, and the company's success in reaching this stage is entirely due to them.
But at this point, there is no good outcome. Either they will withdraw their capital automatically, or I will absorb their shares.
But what should I do now? No matter which one of them withdraws their capital, it will be a fatal blow to the company.
I finally felt the consequences of capital.
Capital is a double-edged sword. It can take you through thorns and thorns along the way, but it can also stab you in the opposite direction.
There was a knock on the office door, and Gao Sheng walked in. Seeing me sitting on the sofa dejectedly, he sighed and said, "We didn't talk about it again, okay?"
I shook my head and said feeling disappointed: "We can't negotiate anymore. I've tried so hard, but they still don't believe me."
"This is normal. Who would have thought that the company would undergo such a big change in just two months? Not only them, but even the colleagues in the company would feel like it was a dream. It was too fast!"
I raised my head, looked at Gao Sheng with a sad expression, and said, "Do you think so too?"
"I" Gao Sheng said after pondering for a while, "Boss, I said I will always support your decision, including this time."
"Then do you have money?"
Gao Sheng scratched the back of his head and said with a silly smile: "I have three hundred thousand here, which I plan to use to pay for the down payment on a new house. I can take it out if you need it."
"Really or fake?" I looked at Gao Sheng and said with a smile.
"Really! I support your decision. I have been following you from Sun Xiaoxiao to now. From an unknown small company to the current scale, I really admire you and I also want to become a shareholder. But I
My ability is limited, but if you don’t mind it, I can really invest these 300,000 yuan.”
I shook my head with a wry smile, took out another cigarette, handed one to Gao Sheng, and then lit one myself.
After taking two leisurely puffs, I said: "Don't say 300,000 now, just 3 million. 30 million is not even worth it."
"ah?!"
I nodded heavily, then took a breath, looked at Gao Sheng and said, "I need at least 300 million now, Gao Sheng, do you think I'm a little too greedy?"
"Well, it's a bit, the pace is too fast, boss."
"How about slowing down?"
"I support you no matter what decision you make."
"Don't say that! You are the person I like. I will reserve the position of general manager of the branch for you in the future. You have to make your own analysis!"
Gao Sheng scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a naive smile: "Boss, I actually have my own ideas, I'm just afraid that you won't agree."
"Tell me."
Gao Sheng then said: "That's it, aren't we short of funds now? Then we can create funds ourselves."
I nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"Based on the integration of our existing resources, including clothing companies and logistics companies, I think we should call their managers over and let us hold a symposium to open up the current situation, especially for clothing companies. Is it possible?
Registering it as a brand will maximize our profits."
After a pause, he continued: "Then the company's internet celebrity economics department will also do a data survey to see who can generate value, and then conduct a comprehensive promotion. As far as I know, Liu Qinglan's current popularity
It has started to decline again, and my girl group has also been experiencing no pain and no breakthrough."
I listened carefully, nodded seriously, and said, "Is there more?"
"No, boss, don't underestimate this. It's easier said than done."
"Yes! It's not easy to just register a brand."
Gao Sheng suddenly had an idea and said: "Is it possible to connect the brand with the Internet celebrity to be promoted?"
After being reminded by Gao Sheng, I immediately had a plan in mind.
I smiled and said, "Okay, Gao Sheng, you can think of this."
"Hey, I'm just thinking. I just want to share some of my burden with you. You've been living in the company for the past two days and only have one meal a day. Boss, don't do this!"
"You know my current situation, do you think I can take it easy?"
Gao Sheng sighed softly and asked me again: "By the way, didn't you go out to find new internet celebrities two days ago? How is the situation?"
"It's hard to say yet, but I think at least one of them will come."
"That's fine, I think we can create our own funds."
"Well, you're right. It's settled then. You are responsible for integrating all the company's resources for me, and I will notify the logistics and garment factories to hold a meeting."
After Gao Sheng left the office, I began to change my plan.
I think Gao Sheng is right, we can create value ourselves, which is also the top priority now.
I have to make use of the clothing factory. They were able to reach the top ten in sales before, which proves that they are capable.
It is not easy to promote a brand, but Gao Sheng reminded me that we can use the line of Internet celebrities to package it, and at the same time package the artist.
This busy time went into the evening again.
After not eating all day, I was so hungry that my chest pressed against my back, so I had to take out my hand and open the takeout app and order a braised chicken.
While waiting for the meal, I received a video call from An Lan.
Although we had a fight last night, I had almost forgotten about it.
I quickly tidied up the messy desk and then connected to her video call.
In the picture, An Lan seems to be on a golf course.
She was wearing Hongxing Erke's sportswear and her hair was tied into a ponytail. She looked very sunny and youthful.
Because of the time difference, it was still afternoon over there.
"Playing ball?" I asked her first.
"Well, I'll accompany my uncle to discuss business."
"Didn't you acquire shares with your uncle? Why are you discussing business again?"
"This business is very important and will directly affect whether we can win this battle."
"Oh, I won't ask any more questions, can you play golf?"
"Yes, why are you still in the office?"
I smiled and said, "I've been living in the company during this period. I'm too busy."
She nodded, looking like she was worried.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Chen Feng, Ye Shanshan called me just now."
My originally smiling expression suddenly stiffened and I said, "Did she complain to you again?"
"You didn't complain to me, but she praised you."
"She praised me?" I said with a wry smile, "You don't know how much trouble we had this afternoon, and we even talked about divesting our capital."
"Yes, I know you guys are having a stiff fight, but she told me that your suggestions are very good."
"If you say that, why doesn't she agree?"
"It's not yet mature yet. There's no need to carry out capital operations. What you plan is all capital operations. What you have to do now is to stabilize the company's earnings."
"Do you think so too?"
An Lan shrugged and said to me in a serious voice: "Chen Feng, please listen to my advice! Capital is not yours to play around with, at least not now."
When I heard An Lan's words, my heart froze again, and I replied expressionlessly: "You all think I'm not good, but I admit that you are all masters of capital, and I can't compare with you, but I have confidence.
."
"Faith, what faith? Just a fiery heart?"
I was suddenly stopped by An Lan's question. When I was speechless, a very handsome and tall boy suddenly appeared on the screen.
The boy greeted An Lan in fluent English, and An Lan turned back and smiled at him.
