Zhang Jing pressed his hands on the bed, his knuckles subconsciously tightened, and silently made a new decision.

"I'm only a freshman now, although I may not be able to catch up with Lin Zitan if I study now, but if I keep going like this, not only will I not be able to catch up, but I will get farther and farther away from others. ”

。。。。。。

Lin Zitan's online store plan has already begun, and while there are still a few days left for the start of school, he has done all kinds of homework, and even went to Chu Shaojun's courier company to take a look, on the one hand, to inquire about the price, and on the other hand, he wants to see what products other people send back to the mainland.

"How did you come up with the idea of making an online store? I heard Chen Lin say that your company is not quite profitable?" Chu Shaojun asked curiously.

"I didn't do it myself, I wanted to do it in partnership with a friend in China. How is Chen Lin doing?" Lin Zitan heard him mention Chen Lin, and sensitively felt that Chen Lin seemed to be a little abnormal recently.

Since the last party, Lin Zitan and Zhang Jing have not seen Chen Lin again, he said before that he wanted Chen Gang to come to the company to discuss cooperation, but there was no trace of them, but a business manager under him was in charge of purchasing matters with their company.

"I heard from Jack that he went to work for an online company, with a few classmates. "Chu Shaojun is more introverted, he is closest to Jack on weekdays, he himself is studying mathematics, and he is relatively homely, so a lot of news from the outside world is known through Jack.

"The industry has been very hot recently~" Lin Zitan muttered.

"Yes, I heard that they have just started, but the prospects of this line are relatively promising, and many of my students who study mathematics want to transfer to computer science!" Chu Shaojun said with a smile.

"Indeed, e-commerce and various e-commerce platforms are slowly rising, computer maintenance and development is indeed the trend of the times, and there are all kinds of online games or something, but unfortunately I don't have the energy now, let's talk about it later!" Lin Zitan thought of the unhappy parting with Zhang Jing a few days ago, and his mood was more depressed.

"By the way, how is Zhang Jing? Is it a girl from country H?" Chu Shaojun is not a gossip person, but the relationship between several people is just a stage of eating and drinking together, and it is too esoteric to talk, and it is not very suitable, so he picked up some interesting things to talk about.

"It's okay, it seems to be developing well so far. What about you, have you talked about a girlfriend?" Lin Zitan put away his troubled thoughts, sat on a fabric sofa in Chu Shaojun's house, which was both an office and a store, and said with a smile.

"Hey~ My wooden character, who will like me! Besides, my parents are not in a hurry for me to find a partner, so it's not too late to finish my studies first. Chu Shaojun said with a subtle smile.

"Well, that's right. That's okay, I won't bother you to do business, see that your parents are still very busy at this time, if I buy something, I will pull it over to your house and send it, and ask your parents to give it to me at the normal price, anyway, it will be a long-term cooperation in the future, not once or twice. ”

Lin Zitan said as he got up from the sofa and said as if he was about to leave.

"Don't worry, my parents are relatively honest, they won't do it if they don't have to make money, just bring it in!" Chu Shaojun is not as tall as Lin Zitan, nor is he as tall as Chen Lin, Zhang Jing's family is rich, but he has never been humble or arrogant in terms of momentum, and he has won Lin Zitan's trust and respect.

。。。。。。

After the two said goodbye, Lin Zitan drove to the company, since the last time he talked to Joseph, seeing him work harder, a passion for chasing and rushing to push the company to another level inspired him, sometimes everyone got off work, and he still continued to work.

After brewing for several days, Lin Zitan finally made up his mind to have a good talk with this workaholic, after all, this person was invited by him, and he needs his help for the future development of the company, but he and Zhang Jing can't become two puppets who are led by the nose.

"Knock knock~" Lin Zitan walked to Joseph's door and knocked on the door.

"Please come in!" came Joseph's cold voice from inside.

"Aren't you off work yet?" Lin Zi opened the door and came in, seeing that Joseph's eyes were still glued to the computer, and he didn't look back.

"Uh~Daniel, do you have something to do with me?" Joseph saw that it was Lin Zitan who came in, and quickly stood up and said.

"No, it depends on what you're busy with, do you need help~" Lin Zitan said with a smile.

"Oh, it's still a farm thing, and I'm comparing the diversity of these products with the need for our supply. Joseph said, and handed over the Dell notebook that the company had given him to Lin Zitan to see.

"Oh, I've read this information, and I want to talk to you about the farm. Lin Zitan walked over, looked at Joseph's computer, and put the information in his hand on the table.

"I prefer these two farms, they have a lot of produce, one is in New York State, but the products are a little more expensive because they are closer to New York, and the other is in Connecticut, which is relatively cheaper, but it's half an hour away from New York. Joseph pointed to an open file on the computer and showed it to Lin Zitan.

"I just took a look, and I was more impressed by these two, there is another one here that is close but not rich in agricultural products, but the price is relatively cheap compared to these two. Lin Zitan handed an A4 piece of paper to Joseph.

"Do you think there is a way to talk to them further, this farm is not smaller than the other two, but the products are relatively simple, if you cooperate with them and let them increase the production scope of agricultural products, is it possible?" Lin Zitan finished speaking, pulled the chair opposite Joseph and sat down.

"Hmm~ This has to be inspected in person, and then confirmed with the farmer, this family feels that the business is not very good. Joseph pondered for a moment, then replied lightly.

"I have an idea, I don't know if it's feasible~" Lin Zitan looked at him and said.

"Tell me about it. Joseph put down the information in his hand and said seriously.

"What do you think if we bought the farm ourselves and then contracted it out to these people to do what we wanted? Is there any possibility of further cost reduction?"

Lin Zitan was also thinking about the farm during this time, because the agricultural products demanded by Chinese restaurants were different from those of other foreigners, and they had not been able to find the most suitable partner. Rather than not finding the right farm that perfectly matches you, why not develop one or two farms dedicated to producing the products you need!

"The cost may be higher, of course this is in the beginning, if in the long run, of course it is feasible... But.. Joseph wanted to make the company bigger and bigger, but it was not his goal.

"I'm just a proposal, I didn't say I'm going to implement it right away, and this can also be included in our next successful management plan, and I'm here today to talk to you about something else. Lin Zitan looked at Joseph's embarrassed appearance, and immediately understood his thoughts.

"Oh? Joseph immediately sat down.

"I know that you are eager to prove yourself and want to make achievements on our platform, but what Zhang Jing and I mean, the company's development is still better to be steady, and now from the perspective of your investment policy, it should not be a problem to make money, but if you want to go public in three or two years, we all feel that it is too rushed. Lin Zitan said cautiously.

"Do you not believe in my abilities?" said Joseph, surprised.

"No, we know our own strength! There are pros and cons to the company's listing, we don't care about this, a supply company like ours, the current prospects seem to be quite good, coupled with the increasing number of Asian restaurants, our company's performance will rise in the next three to five years, but there will always be a saturation of restaurants, which is related to the demographics of the United States. Lin Zitan hurriedly explained.

"What do you mean ... Joseph frowned slightly, waiting for Lin Zi's next step.

"I mean, it's good for this company to be the leader of the supply industry in New York in three to five years, but big world-class companies like US Food and SYSCO won't watch us get bigger and bigger, and our market is restricted, and we only supply Asian restaurants, and when the restaurants are saturated, coupled with the competition in the same industry, our business volume will also shrink, and at that time, it will be very difficult to continue to grow. ”

"That's why I said we need financing, we need mergers and acquisitions, and then go public, to build the reputation of our company, so that we can create a small monopoly, and the competitiveness of other industries cannot be competitive!" Joseph said urgently.

"Listing also means the transparency of all industry information, once listed, all the supplier information of our company must also be disclosed, of course, there are advantages, but the risks also have to be considered. Zhang Jing and I do not mean not to go public, but to work steadily, wait for the time to be ripe and then make preparations for listing, the purpose of my talk to you is to hope that you will not be too obsessed with this aspect, do a good job in front of you, and wait for the opportunity. ”

Lin Zitan's face was serious and unquestionable, so that Joseph originally wanted to argue again, but blocked his chest, and finally only said lightly: "Okay, I understand!"

"Joseph, I understand your feelings, but many things can't be rushed, we Chinese have a saying: the time is right, the time is right, everything will be logical. After Lin Zitan finished speaking, he stood up with his own information, bent down and patted Joseph on the shoulder, and then walked out lightly.

Joseph looked at Lin Zitan's back as he left after finishing speaking, and was once again shocked by the young man's quick thinking!

"Is he really less than 20 years old?" said Joseph as he rubbed his eyebrows and muttered after Lin Zitan closed the door and went out.
