Chapter 413: Crazy Idealist

After visiting Tang Fei and the other injured security guards with a feeling of distress and physical pain, Lu Shanmin forced a smile all the way, and secretly swore in his heart that he would never let them fight in the future.

Fighting relies on passion and blood, but after the fight, you have to pay for it with money.

It hurts too much, it hurts so fuckingly.

In the hospital, Ruan Yu is responsible for coordinating and arranging care, and Lu Shuang is 'bargaining' with the doctors, so there is no need for him to continue to stay.

At the moment, his most important task is not to stay and take care of the patients, but to 'raise money', the hospital is not a vegetable market, and bargaining will not work. How much he hopes that Lao Huang is here, although Lao Huang doesn't like to speak, the door is difficult to enter, and his face is ugly, but his medical skills are really good, the most important thing is that the price is fair, if he is here, at least he can save more than half of the medical expenses.

When I went downstairs, I happened to see Lu Shuang holding the doctor's coat with a smiling face, and couldn't help but plead in a low voice, "Doctor, two days, you give me two days, and I promise to make up for the medical expenses."

Fortunately, there are more people in the hospital than in the vegetable market, Lu Shanmin tiptoed into the crowd and quietly mixed out of the hospital, if Lu Shuang saw it, it is estimated that he would have to be scolded by her again.

It's not that he's really afraid of her, this originally optimistic and cheerful girl has been forced by him to become a, he feels a little wrong, a little guilty.

Hey, I don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive!!

In the eyes of others, his reputation as Lu Shanmin became more and more awesome.

But he himself knows best that compared to when he first arrived in the East China Sea, he has not become rich, but completely negative. From the beginning, he owed Chen Ran 50,000 yuan, then Haidonglai 200,000, and now he owes the bank more than 10 million, and then he owes even more. It's a big head to think about.

Although Jiang Yan said that successful entrepreneurs must learn to owe money, the more they owe, the more capable they are. The book "Thirty Years of Turbulence" also mentioned that the debt ratio of many large enterprises is as high as 780 percent, and there are many people who owe tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars to banks.

But for him, a native of the mountains, the consciousness of small farmers is deep-rooted, and he will feel embarrassed to borrow an egg from a villager, and if he owes tens of billions of dollars, it is estimated that he will not be able to sleep.

Fortunately, he didn't owe too much, Lu Shanmin comforted himself.

"Brother Shanmin, are you going back to read now?" Qin Feng asked.

Lu Shanmin frowned, "I can't see anything now!" "Hey, go buy a mobile phone, Changzan that bastard confiscated my mobile phone yesterday."

"There is a Suning electrical appliance in front, and I bought a computer for my sister some time ago." Qin Feng said.

"Go to the underground passage and buy a copycat second-hand goods to make do with." Lu Shanmin said with a bitter face.

"Huh"?"Brother Shanmin, that's too inconsistent with your identity."

Lu Shanmin pointed to his face, "Look at my expression now, what do you see?"

Qin Feng looked at it puzzled for a long time, "Brother Shanmin, you are a little anxious, and you are a little angry."

"Poor, I have a big word poor written on my face."

"Well, I'll lend you some first." Qin Feng said boldly.

"Do you want to pay it back"?

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, "Brother Shanmin, my sister is still in college."

"Forget it, let's go to the underpass".

I spent 200 yuan to buy an antique mobile phone, and then went to the mobile business hall to get my old phone number back.

As soon as I turned on my phone, there was a series of call reminders, and there was no original address book, I only remembered that one of them was Zeng Yaqian, and the other one who called more should be Lu Shuang, and the others became unfamiliar numbers.

Thinking of Zeng Yaqian, Lu Shanmin's heart was sweet. If she hadn't arrived in time last night, she would have reported to Lord Yama by now. The more powerful the force, the greater the risk of using it, and the force sent out last night, the Zeng family would not use it casually. I don't know how much effort she put in to get the Zeng family to agree to send rescuers.

"Qin Feng, you go back first."

"Brother Shanmin, this is not good, what if you are in danger"?

"Don't worry, Chang Zan has fallen, and no one will be unfavorable to me now. With my skills, there are not many people who can pose a threat to me."

Qin Feng thought about it, "Okay then", paused and said, "Brother Shanmin, you don't have a tracker installed in your new phone, you have to tell me where you went, or I'm still a little worried."

"Ahem, Qin Feng, there are some things you don't have to ask in such detail, you have to leave me some private space."

"That's not good", Qin Feng insisted: "I am your bodyguard, I have the right to know your whereabouts."

Lu Shanmin frowned slightly, "It's okay for me to go on a date."

Qin Feng smiled, "Where to go on a date?"

Since the day of the reform, Noah's Ark has been involved in a stormy rebuilding project.

All first-tier cities in the country have established their own logistics warehouses, and all township-level administrative units have established self-operated distribution points. All distribution personnel recruit, train, and manage by themselves, and do not pretend to outsource at all.

The top technical team, including many high-tech talents graduated from MIT and other international and domestic famous universities, strives to create a perfect e-commerce platform day and night.

A wide range of product names, from a small sewing needle to large furniture and household appliances, from general affordable brands to popular international luxury brands, and strive to achieve everything you need.

It's a huge project, but no one considers it a feat.

More people think that this is just a rich second generation playing ticket nature of nonsense, and there is no difference between other rich second generations in and out of high-end clubs, if there is a difference, the only difference is that this is better than spending money.

More than a billion, even if you go in and out of high-end clubs every day, it will take several years to buy luxury cars and cruise ships every month.

With her, it's less than a year. For the construction of logistics bases in first-tier cities, there are employees of Noah's Ark in all corners of the country. More than a billion poured out like a flood that opened the floodgates, and soon bottomed out. Noah's Ark is like a reservoir without a source, it flows out easily, but there is no water to return.

Fake and shoddy merchants are very happy to have the platform of Noah's Ark, but Zeng Yaqian does not allow them to enter. Brands that are slightly famous avoid it, for fear that this so-called e-commerce platform will lower their grade. Producers of agricultural and sideline products are even more scornful of this novelty, and they are held back by the traditional sales model of hundreds or thousands of years.

'Crazy', 'loser', 'idealist', such labels are stuck to Zeng Yaqian.

Some competitors and jokers swarmed up, and the entire industry went down. It has even affected the stock price of Haohan Group, which has fallen again and again.

Except for the old lady, almost everyone in the Zeng family intervened, and even her biological father ordered her to stop this crazy 'game'.

The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn.

Zeng Yaqian has a copy of "Donghai Finance" in front of her, and the big title on the cover is very eye-catching - "Crazy Idealist", the article is written freely, from history, philosophy, art, business and other aspects of the discussion, there is only one conclusion - a crazy idealist may become a successful philosopher and artist, but it will never be a successful entrepreneur.

Fang Zhou, technical director, Qiu Yan, administrative and personnel director, Feng Guangyu, operation director, Zhang Ping, financial director, and Chen Yang, major shareholder, sat on both sides. For most of the year, it's not that they don't work hard, it's that they have all the qualities that an entrepreneur should have. Passion, struggle, perseverance.

But the truth was very different from what they expected.

The room was so quiet that it was painful to hear a needle dropping, and everyone's faces were not very good.

There was silence in the conference room for a long time, and Zeng Yaqian said lightly: "What do you think about the article?"

Ark was the first to speak, and said indignantly: "I don't agree with the arguments of this article, these nerds who play with the pen, think that they have read a few books, collect some bits and pieces of information everywhere, and take it for granted that they are irresponsible on paper, they don't know how much we have paid, let alone what we are doing."

Qiu Yan said: "I hate those so-called critics and economists the most, who have never started a business, and always like to point out the country from God's point of view.

Feng Guangyu coughed lightly, "The point of view of this article is indeed too superficial," and after a pause, he said, "However, it also said some indisputable facts. Our cost input is too big, but the profit point is too low. ”

Feng Guangyu looked up at Zeng Yaqian's expressionless face, plucked up his courage and continued, "The article compares us to a dragon from mining, steelmaking, gunpowder manufacturing, bullet manufacturing to shotgun production in order to eat a rabbit. Nowadays, this era is an era of division of labor and cooperation, and it is a bit of a waste of money to invest a lot of money to build an industrial chain that can integrate the original resources of society in order to eat a rabbit."

Fang Zhou retorted: "This analogy is very inappropriate, first of all, we are not eating a rabbit, there are more than one billion people in China, and this market is extremely huge. Secondly, if you want to get rich, you have to build roads first, and a lot of basic investment we have now is not to abandon the basics, but to pave the way for the potential huge market of this industry. Thirdly, it is precisely because of the unprofessional and immature outsourcing business of this industry that leads to the distrust of the market, and once we take the lead in making standards, we are the standard of the entire industry."

Feng Guangyu frowned, "What you said is a matter of concept, and the key issue now is how we can survive, how to let merchants and manufacturers enter our platform, and how to make the market believe in us."

Speaking of this problem, the ark is also dumbfounded, this is the biggest problem the company is facing today, to build such a large platform, but now only dozens of manufacturers are willing to cooperate, many of which are in the face of the vast group to agree to cooperate, there is no large number of laying supplies. With such a few goods, how can the market trust that e-commerce counterfeit and shoddy products are rampant.

Zhang Ping, chief financial officer, said, "Mr. Zeng, the top priority is the problem of funds, the bank called today to collect the money, and I am not going to renew the loan for us next year, we are now tantamount to sitting on a mountain and eating nothing, and we can't last long if we go on like this."

Chen Yang's chubby face was always smiling, but his heart was distressed. He didn't worry that Zeng Yaqian couldn't afford to repay the 500 million he lent to Zeng Yaqian, but the 200 million he invested was just a waste, this was his first investment business.

"Yaqian, your idea is perfect, but it is a little ahead, but the quality of the people and the maturity of the market cannot keep up with your rhythm. Stop the loss in time now, and you can earn it back in the future, if you continue to consume it, I'm afraid it will be a bottomless pit. ”

Chen Yang said with a smile: "I see, if you don't slow down, wait until the market matures."

Once again, the conference room fell silent. Everyone waited for Zeng Yaqian to speak.

Noah's Ark has come to this point, and it has reached a life-and-death juncture.

Ark's face was full of anxiety, and despite the fact that the room was air-conditioned and his vest was still soaked, he poured all his heart and soul into Noah's Ark, and Noah's Ark was all he had. He was very afraid that Zeng Yaqian would give up, he was a qualified technician, but he didn't know how to operate the market, otherwise he wouldn't have been desperate to be acquired by Haohan Group, he wanted to persuade Zeng Yaqian not to give up, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

Several other people bowed their heads slightly, the most things the company has done in the past half a year is to burn money, the establishment of logistics bases and distribution stations, as well as the salaries of distribution personnel in all corners of the country, the high cost of platform development and maintenance, and the money flowing out every day is astronomical. The situation at hand is very clear, to continue to burn money is to continue to burn money, where does the money come from? At such a rate of burning money, no matter how much money there is, there will be a time when it will be burned. The key point is that even the banks are extremely unoptimistic now, and if they can't borrow money, sooner or later there will be a crash.

Zeng Yaqian seems to have only one way to go.

Zeng Yaqian looked at everyone silently, the most terrible thing about an enterprise is not the bankruptcy of assets, but the bankruptcy of confidence. Growing up in a business family like the Zeng family, Zeng Yaqian understands this truth very well. If the money is gone, you can earn it again, but if the people's hearts are gone, it will be completely finished.

She didn't speak, and the room was suffocatingly quiet.

She didn't want to tell the truth that those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and she didn't want to tell the story of digging wells. These words of chicken soup for the soul will only have a useless feeling for idealists who have not experienced life and death.

For people who are going through life and death, these childish chicken soup for the soul will make them deeply disgusted. What they need is concrete solutions, not a few words of stirring chicken soup.

She thought of Lu Shanmin, who never asked about the external right or wrong in doing things, only asked whether he should do it in his heart, and did not ask what the result would be, because he didn't have a clear desired result at all. There are no dreams, no goals, more down-to-earth, less fear and fetters for the future. It looks childish and ridiculous, but it has great power, and no one can stop him from moving forward.

Zeng Yaqian couldn't help but show a bright smile.

This smile made the people in the conference room inexplicable, this Mr. Zeng, who had never smiled in the company, actually smiled at such a tense moment, and smiled so naturally and gently, and even saw a hint of happiness mixed with it.

This smile inadvertently broke the gloomy atmosphere of the conference room.

"If the manufacturer is not willing to settle in, we will operate it ourselves. ”

Feng Guangyu's eyes lit up, "Self-management is a good way, but if we buy from manufacturers and then sell them, I'm afraid there will be no price advantage."

"Self-operated products are all five percentage points cheaper than physical stores."

Zeng Yaqian continued: "Physical stores have store rental costs and salesperson labor costs. But we don't, although the investment in logistics and warehousing is large, it greatly saves manpower and rental costs. We don't have much to lose."

"The loss is only temporary, as long as the self-operated products make a reputation, I am not afraid that other manufacturers will not come, as long as we make a reputation, we are not afraid that the market will not believe us."

Zhang Ping frowned, "Mr. Zeng, how much money do you have to burn, our money is no longer enough."

"Banks are not willing to lend money, so they look for investment companies for financing, and domestic investment companies are not willing to invest, so they look for foreign ones, and we have not yet reached the point of exhaustion."

Zeng Yaqian patted "Donghai Finance" on the table, "I'll figure out a way to solve the problem of money, even if Noah's Ark dies, it will be carried for me for three years."

Lu Shanmin knew that Zeng Yaqian was very busy, and he also knew that she had been very unhappy recently, and there was a lot of information about Noah's Ark in newspapers, magazines, and TV news. From the initial controversy to the present, it is almost a downturn. You can imagine how much pressure she has to bear.

He wanted to help her, but it was far more difficult than beating a blind bear in the mountains, and even if he used all his brute strength, it would be to no avail. He felt like an ant trying to shake an elephant and couldn't do anything about it.

Lu Shanmin looked at his phone, there was still a period of time before he got off work, and sent a text message to Zeng Yaqian. bought a copy of the People's Daily at a nearby newsstand, and waited for Zeng Yaqian to get off work.

The two student-looking girls flipped through the entertainment magazines in their hands, and chattered about Oba's beautiful face and Oba's long legs.

Lu Shanmin glanced at it curiously, a charming Korean male star in the magazine, with fair skin like a woman, dyed yellow hair, and a scissor hand holding his mouth to sell cuteness, Lu Shanmin had goosebumps when he saw it.

The two girls looked at Lu Shanmin, and saw that Lu Shanmin looked quite good, revealing shallow dimples, but when they saw the People's Daily in Lu Shanmin's hand, they instantly showed a look of disdain.

Lu Shanmin frowned slightly, how could he still attract contempt when he watched the People's Daily.

One of the girls jokingly said: "Handsome guy, look at your good looks, how can you look like an old antique in your seventies and eighties."

"What's the problem"?

The two girls pursed their lips and continued to stare at the little fresh meat in the magazine and drool.

Lu Shanmin shook his head, and saw a magazine in a blink of an eye. "Donghai Finance" - "Noah's Ark - Crazy Idealist".
