Chapter 259: Starting from Scratch
As the old saying goes, it is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to keep a business.
The impression of Victor is still in various pictures of his past life, short hair, glasses, deeply influenced by Confucian culture, gentle and elegant, mature and calm, professional and rational, but it also gives people the impression of acting stereotyped, cautious, and unsmiling.
The arrival of Arthur made Victor, who had always been unsmiling, look very relaxed.
Look at this man who has been betting on a lifetime of expectations since birth. At the age of 32, he suffered the darkest moment of his life.
However, as soon as he got out of danger, he put on his suit and returned to the company the next day and continued to work. Talking and laughing as if nothing had happened. It can also be seen that the quality of this person is absolutely incomparable.
The so-called human life is expensive and cheap, and how many human lives can be priced at one billion yuan?
In the small talk with the other party, you can see that the other party has a westernized atmosphere, and the words also show that they are more fond of overseas.
It seems that in addition to the fact that overseas assets are really cheap, it is closely related to Victor's experience of living overseas and his understanding of overseas projects.
You must know that it is under the leadership of Victor that Feldspar Group will join hands with Electric Energy to acquire overseas assets many times, including the United Kingdom, France, New Zealand, Canada and other places.
Victor, on the other hand, was even more curious about Arthur in front of him.
Becoming a billionaire at the age of 21 with his own investments is not something that ordinary people can achieve.
This not only reminded him of his famous little superman brother.
It's just that he knows his own family affairs, and his younger brother has the ability, but he can't do without his father's support at all.
Looking at the young earl in front of him, because of the project of the coastal power plant, Arthur was one step ahead of the acquisition, and Victor was a little depressed because of the crash, so he asked Arthur's information to be investigated in detail.
And the more he investigated, the more interested and curious he became about Arthur as a person.
Victor has always been very clear about the rate of return when he encounters projects, he generally considers projects with an annual rate of return of at least 8%, and such projects are best low-risk, if the risk is relatively high and the returns are unstable, then it is likely not to be considered.
The Coast Power Plant was undoubtedly his choice among many targets, but he had just been optimistic about one target, and his side had just been locked, and it didn't take long for him to see the news from the newspaper that someone else had taken the lead, and Victor was depressed at the same time, but naturally wanted to get to know the other party.
To be honest, as a business owner, it is difficult for Victor to invest in the projects he is interested in, and Feldspar Group has already made a long-term plan, so there is not much room for Victor to play.
And as the successor of a huge business empire, his pressure is unimaginable to others, feldspar system has a lot of business, very test the ability as a manager, but also requires a high degree of team fit, once someone leaves, or the cooperation is not happy, it will affect the operation of the company, so many years, not to say that it is walking on thin ice, it can also be said that it is no longer restraining itself all the time.
Through some communication with Arthur, Victor confirmed that Arthur was young and promising, but also extremely envious of Arthur's state, not to mention the dry outline, at least Arthur did not have any constraints, and could be completely free to invest in any project he was interested in.
If he had been able to make his own decisions, without having to hold meetings and discussions, and convince the other shareholders and uncles in the management that perhaps the coastal power plant, a completely undervalued and high-quality asset, would now be part of Feldspar Group.
Now, however, it's too late to say anything.
"He is very cautious and a difficult person to deal with. ”
After communicating with Victor for a while, exchanging business cards, and after Arthur and his party said goodbye to each other, Aimus Alammuddin whispered his comments to Arthur.
"Hehe, anyone who has experienced what he has experienced will become cautious, but I am sure that in the future, I and the other party will definitely become competitors, and the resources he has at his disposal are incomparable to me now... “
Arthur could hear from the other party's words that the other party wanted to lay out the British intention, after all, the other party made it clear that among the many targets, the coastal power plant was preferred, that is, there were many alternatives in the other party's acquisition list.
Hearing Arthur's words, Angela and Corinna on the side glanced at each other, not understanding why their boss had such an idea, after all, the two sides had only met each other for the first time, how could they determine the future competition?
Arthur naturally couldn't tell them that in the future, the family would enter England in an all-round way, and almost buy half of the UK.
The next drinking party time became Arthur's time to establish contacts, and many of the guests present wanted to get to know him, so he didn't plan to get to know these industry elites and form his own JIAO network.
To be honest, don't look at Arthur as a billionaire or an earl, but his background in the business world is really too thin, whether it is connections or Jiao Internet, it can be said that he is completely starting from scratch.
“。。。 Next Friday night, I will be hosting a cocktail party at my home, and I sincerely invite you to come, and I hope you will be there. A gas pipeline company owner invited Arthur with a big smile.
"Thank you very much for the invitation, and I will be invited to attend on time. ”
Arthur did not refuse, but smiled and nodded and agreed, this is already the fourth reception tonight, the dinner party is invited, and the weight of the person who invited him is still relatively heavy, which is why he readily agreed.
Networking and JIAO network can not be established by talking, if you want to establish a network, you need to intersect, you need to come and go often, and slowly establish friendship, even if friendship is not easy to establish, but also to make the relationship with each other harmonious, and wait until one day, once there is an entanglement of interests, then the network is successful.
Of course, to build a valuable network, you have to focus on what you can bring to the table for others, not what others can bring to you. Building a network of people is not a matter of quick success, but requires a long-term process of cultivation and maintenance.
It's time-consuming, but it's something Arthur has to do, and who made his foundation too thin.
"Hehe, I have to say, you're really popular. ”
Finally, the reception is coming to an end, many people have chosen to leave, Arthur and Aimo also saw the same, so they also chose to leave, on the way to send Aimo home, Aimo looked at Arthur, who had no scruples about the image of tearing off the bow tie, leaning on the seat, relaxing, and laughing.
Arthur opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Aimo beside him, and said lightly: "Didn't they all invite you too? In their eyes, we are a couple." ”
