Chapter 309: Wharton Company

>,!

Zhou Ming drove all the way back to the Harvard campus in his Buick car, and he did not call Du Peng, asking him to help ask if the country would help him make $100 million from the world. ∈↗, on the one hand, he doesn't understand the operation of the country's foreign affairs, and he doesn't know how long it will take for the news to be transmitted from Cheng Jun to the central government, and on the other hand, Zhou Ming himself, even if the country doesn't help with this, it doesn't matter.

When Zhou Ming returned to the dormitory, it was already dark, and when Zhou Ming went out today, he had just finished counting the performance of the first day of the dormitory convenience store with his classmates in the finance class, and a lot of things had happened on this day.

Pushing open the door of the dormitory, the squad leader Chen Shu hurriedly came over to report to Zhou Ming: "Teacher, the performance of our dormitory convenience store today has dropped a lot compared to yesterday, from nine o'clock in the morning to now, it is only more than 3,000 US dollars. ”

Chen Shu's tone was very depressed, but it was no wonder that yesterday's net profit was 30,000 US dollars, but today it has shrunk tenfold, such a huge gap must make him feel very uncomfortable.

Zhou Ming smiled and comforted him: "This is normal, after all, the emotions of our suppressed customers have exploded yesterday, it is impossible to have such a hot sales situation every day, and yesterday started at six o'clock in the evening, that is the peak sales of the dormitory convenience store, most students have to attend classes during the day, and there are cheaper convenience stores outside, it is already very good to have more than three thousand dollars." ”

"I understand this, teacher, but it is still very uncomfortable for us to become so little. Chen Shu said, and then he remembered something to say, "By the way, teacher, there is one more thing, today Huang Yi told me that in another Adams building, another dormitory convenience store has also opened. ”

"Did you follow the trend so quickly? It seems that our first day's earnings were indeed very deceptive, but the Americans are also very active. ”

Zhou Ming said this casually, although he was a little surprised, he didn't take it to heart, and just said to Chen Shu: "Don't worry about this for now, you go and inform all the students to come to the hall for a meeting immediately." ”

"Is it about today's earnings, or is there a problem with competitors?" Chen Shu asked subconsciously.

"No, there's something else, so don't guess, go and let me know. Zhou Ming patted Chen Shu's shoulder and said.

Chen Shu nodded and went to inform the meeting, because the students in the finance class are not very familiar with Harvard, and they basically act collectively when they go out, whether it is to eat or go to the library to read books, and it is now time to eat in the evening, so now all the students are in the dormitory, Chen Shu went to inform, but in a quarter of an hour, all the students came down and sat in the hall.

Zhou Ming is still very pleased that his classmates can come down so quickly, which shows that these students have still maintained their original intentions and have not changed.

When all the students were seated, Zhou Ming stood up and said: "Students, although our dormitory convenience store created a performance of 50,000 US dollars yesterday, I still want to say that I have wronged you, you are all financial elites selected by the state, but I let you be a retail store here, a salesperson and a porter, I know that you are very, very aggrieved in your hearts, and you are eager to be real financial people!"

Zhou Ming's words made the scene in an uproar, everyone didn't understand why Zhou Ming suddenly said this, Li Yang, who had the fastest mouth, said: "Teacher, we don't have any emotions, and as you said, we have also learned a lot in the dormitory convenience store, such as how to plan, how to operate, how to promote, this is what we must learn no matter what we do in the future, and there is no place to cut it!"

With Li Yang taking the lead, other students also followed up and said: "Yes, teacher, we don't mean to blame you, on the contrary, we are all very grateful to you, thank you for giving us such a rare opportunity." ”

Zhou Ming felt very relieved in the face of the words of the students in the finance class below, but he still signaled everyone to be quiet and said: "I know that the students are all good, you understand me very well, no matter what decision I make, you will support me, but after all, you are here to study finance and economics, and it is not the same thing to always toss in the dormitory convenience store." ”

"So I want to tell you a good news today," Zhou Ming continued, "that is, I am going to set up a financial investment company, and all of you will become employees of the company." ”

With the announcement of Zhou Ming's news, the hall suddenly erupted in a burst of enthusiastic cheers, it felt like fans heard that the Chinese team won the World Cup, Zhou Ming also laughed, he added: "Of course, unless you are not willing to come to work in my company." ”

For Zhou Ming's words, the following students immediately gave the answer: "Yes, we have been waiting for this day!"

"Well, since everyone has decided to join my company, then you all have to listen to me as the boss," Zhou Ming said, "Although we have a new business, the dormitory convenience store project still can't be released, but everyone can gradually withdraw from this matter and re-recruit other people to do it, whether it is people in the society or people on the Harvard campus." ”

In the end, Zhou Ming named Li Yang: "You are the person in charge of this project, so I will leave it to you." ”

"Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely do my best!" Li Yang said with great confidence.

"I have a lot of confidence in you. Zhou Ming said.

This matter was finalized, although team leaders like Chen Shu and Ye Ning still had some doubts about Zhou Ming's sudden decision, but out of their almost blind confidence in Zhou Ming, they still put these doubts behind them for the time being.

The next day, Zhou Ming drove along the Charles River to the south of downtown Brighton, and was accompanied by Danny, the president of the Harvard Student Union.

"The Wharton company is in the Ladder Building in Fenway. Danny said and pointed to Zhou Ming, who looked in his direction and saw that there was a very tall office building over there.

"Wharton is a new company that has just been incorporated and is rushing to sell because of the temporary withdrawal of the company's first director, and since the business has not yet been rolled out, there are no debt problems. Danny thought for a moment and said, "Of course, if you are still in doubt with Zhou Ming, you can also bring a lawyer over to inspect the company's accounts and all other documents." ”

"And this company is not a subsidiary of my father or any other company with any other relationship, but my father and the owner of this company know each other and happen to know the news, that's all. Danny added at the end.

Zhou Ming understood why Danny added this, and he smiled and said, "I don't doubt Danny, you, my friend." ”

Danny also smiled, and he continued: "In addition, according to our laws in Massachusetts, there is no demarcation of the scope of business for any company, which means that as long as a company is legally registered in Massachusetts, he can engage in all legal business activities, as long as you want, so there are many fruit companies to engage in finance, and financial companies can also come to sell fruits, which are all legally permitted." ”

Danny continued: "Of course, if you want to run more smoothly and let people know what you are doing, you can change the name of your company at any time, as long as it is approved by the relevant authorities. ”

"Without the approval of the relevant authorities, no letter of the company name can be changed, as it involves tax and other legal issues. "You may not know it when you first arrive, but here in the United States, taxes are tougher than the military, and if you want to evade taxes, they're going to come to your door the next day and kick you in the ass in legal boots." ”

In Danny's American-style introduction, Zhou Ming's car had already parked in the parking lot of the Sky Ladder Building, and then Zhou Ming Danny and the bodyguard ** got out of the car together.

"Wharton is on the 12th floor of the Ladder Building, which is a very good floor of the building, and Wharton chose here when it was rich, but no one knew that someone would suddenly withdraw later, and now this lawsuit is still fought. ”

While Danny explained to Zhou Ming, they took the elevator upstairs, and the opposite room from the elevator was Wharton.

At the door of the company, a white American man about 30 years old was standing at the door, and through Danny's introduction, Zhou Ming knew that he was Wharton, the chairman and operating officer of Wharton.

When Wharton saw Danny coming, he stepped forward and gave him a warm hug and said, "Hey Danny, my brother, it's such a pleasure to meet you!"

"I'm also Wharton, but we'll talk about it later, I'll introduce you to the friend I brought, Mr. Zhou Ming. ”

Danny pushed out Zhou Ming at the right time, and Zhou Ming also stepped forward to shake hands with Wharton, but Wharton was stunned first, he stared at Zhou Ming in surprise and looked at it carefully, then turned to Danny, and said in a very incredible tone: "Brother Danny, are you mistaken, you actually brought a Chinese here?" Don't you know that these guys are all liars and villains, and poor ghosts like those?"

Zhou Ming immediately frowned: "Mr. Wharton, please pay attention to your words." ”

Danny also said: "Brother Wharton, China Zhou is my friend, and I want you to put away your racial rhetoric. ”

Wharton shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "I'm sorry I said something very inappropriate, but it's also true, what kind of Chinese Zhou is it, right? I don't mean to offend you, it's just that among the Chinese I've met, it's true." ”

"So Mr. Wharton, have you always lived in the slums in the past?" Zhou Ming asked rhetorically.

Zhou Ming's words were amazing, so that Wharton immediately frowned, glaring at Zhou Ming, but he couldn't say anything, Zhou Ming said at this time: "Mr. Wharton, I'm here to talk about acquisitions today, I don't want to dwell on these issues, if Mr. Wharton wants to give me a dismount, try to provoke me with these words, and then make me make an impulsive decision, then I don't think you have to waste your efforts." ”

"What? how do you know?" Wharton blurted out immediately.
