Chapter 569: An investment of $1,000,000
"Knight, why are you here?" Janice hurriedly let go of her hand in shock. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info At this time, no matter how thick her skin is, she is a little embarrassed. Originally, she was going to break up with Knight in a few days, but now it's always embarrassing to be bumped into by the other party without breaking up.
"Why am I here? I ask you why you're here, why are you holding someone's hand? You bitch!" Phil Knight is a man after all, and he's angry after all!
Can he not be angry when he sees his girlfriend holding someone else's hand?
He felt like the top of his head was green at the moment.
"Nate, since you've seen it, I'm going to break up with you now. Janice said without any guilt.
"You ......" Knight didn't expect to get this answer.
", good bloody plot. When Shuichi Minamino saw this, he wanted to laugh.
"I don't see a future with you, it's not the life I want. Janice has a bit of a conscience to explain.
"That's it, Janice will be the proprietress of my supermarket from now on. The handsome man next to him sneered and joked.
"Hmph, Knight, let's go back, you don't have to be sad about such a woman. Bill Balman walked up and comforted.
Knight, who wanted to go crazy at this time, finally held back, although he really wanted to hit the dog man and woman in front of him.
"Okay, let's sit back and continue our business, I'm going to invest $1 million in the first phase of the sporting goods store I'm going to open! I own 80 percent of the shares, and you alone own 10 percent of the shares. I'll leave the management of the company to you. Shuichi Minamino also walked over and spoke.
Shuichi Minamino's words made everyone look sideways.
"Are you telling the truth?" Bill Bowerman was shocked! Because the news was so exciting! With a million dollars invested and they each own 10% of the shares, it was like a big pie falling from the sky.
"This ......" Janice was also stunned when she heard it, and didn't say anything, just the 10% of the shares was $100,000! That is to say, her boyfriend, no, it should be her ex-boyfriend who instantly owned $100,000 of shares! And the boyfriend she has now and the small supermarket he opened costs only tens of thousands of dollars, and suddenly she feels as if she has picked up sesame seeds and lost her watermelon. The face is very ugly.
"Hehe~ Invest a million dollars, brag. The handsome man said disdainfully. The first $1 million is a lot of money, a millionaire.
Shuichi Minamino didn't bother to pay attention to the other party's ridicule, but pulled the two back to their seats and began to continue the conversation.
However, Phil Knight was in a trance, and looked back at his ex-girlfriend from time to time.
At this time, Janice finally left the hotel with her current boyfriend in a thin-skinned manner.
"Alright Knight, let's get down to business, that Janice isn't worth your grief. Seeing the trance of the younger brother Bill Balman, he continued to comfort.
"Yes, you're going to prove to her that you're ten thousand times better than the man she's looking for now. Shuichi Minamino smiled.
"That's right, I should focus on my career now. Phil Knight took a deep breath.
"Haha, that's how it should be. Okay, let's get down to business. "Minamino Shuichi.
"Mr. Minamino, is what you just said true?" At this moment, Bill Bowerman was still skeptical, after all, investing $1 million is not a trivial matter. Is it too much for the other party to give 10% of the shares when they see them?
"Of course I'm serious. ”
"Then you don't manage the company and leave it to the two of us?" asked Bill Bowerman cautiously.
"Yes. ”
"Then you're not afraid we'll screw up the company?"
"Yes, neither of us has experience in running a company, and we don't know how to run a business. ”
"Suspicious people don't need to be suspicious, I believe in you. Minamino Shuichi said lightly.
Well, that's a very high statement.
In fact, Shuichi Minamino has confidence in the two of them, and there is a reason.
I think that the two brothers, Knight and Bowerman, each invested $500 each to found Le Cordon Bleu, the predecessor of Nike, and made Nike bigger with their aggressiveness, creativity, marketing methods, etc.
They are very intelligent and perfect for starting a business!
Let's start with Bill Bowerman, who is persistent, and Phil Knight is a genius, adding his marketing and advertising methods. He trusts these two people very much.
Because the two of them have the courage to design, the courage to innovate, and the courage to face all kinds of difficulties.
In 1971, Le Cordon Bleu had sales of more than $6 million. Onizuka Tiger sent someone to the United States and offered to buy 51% of the company's shares and occupy two of the five directors, and if he did not agree to this request, he would immediately stop supply. Borman and Knight could not bear the difficulties of the Japanese businessmen and categorically rejected this unreasonable demand. With the patent for their design, they quickly found a partner, and at the end of the year, Knight named the company NIKE after the Greek goddess of victory.
At the same time, the air cushion for running shoes was invented by Knight!
This is definitely an epoch-making design!
"Mr. Minamino, we don't know what to say!" Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman were very moved, but the rest was still moved. Think about it, a stranger suddenly asks you to start a business, they contribute money, they run it, and even give each of them 10% of the shares! This kind of behavior is completely foolish in the eyes of outsiders.
But that's what people do, and they just trust them.
In fact, Shuichi Minamino also considered giving them 10% of the shares, first of all, they will work hard after they have shares, and they will work hard to make the company bigger. In this way, he can be a hands-off shopkeeper.
In this way, not only can you buy people's hearts, but you can also sit and make money, how good! It is much better than investing in or buying Adidas.
"You don't have to say anything thankful to me now, what I want is for you to have the confidence to defeat Adidas. Nanno said in a deep voice.
"Defeat Adidas......?"
After hearing this, the two stared at the boss.
Because Adidas is now the dominant sports brand, is it too unrealistic for them to defeat each other.
"Why, you don't believe in yourself, you don't have confidence in yourself, if you don't have faith you can go. Nanno Shuichi said coldly.
"No, no, no, we are confident! We believe we can do it. Bill Bowerman clenched his fists.
"I have some design drawings of shoes and so on at home, do you need to take a look at them?" asked Bill Bowerman.
