Azure Building, 13th floor. ≯ > net

Tang Qiaoyin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, clasping her arms around her chest, her eyes shining through a trace of melancholy. The heavy raindrops outside the window crackled the glass, which soon stained the glass window, and a slender figure slowly emerged on the glass.

Suddenly, there was a footstep behind her, and she didn't look back, she knew who was coming when she heard the sound.

"How do you explain that?" Tang Qiaoyin raised her head slightly and asked calmly.

"They want our side to come up with a more feasible plan, otherwise not only will the funds not be returned, but the board of directors will also be convened to fire you." Zhang Jingru stopped behind her, a sad look on her face.

Tang Qiaoyin silently closed her eyes, and then chuckled, "What is a more feasible plan, from them to transfer the company's funds without authorization, it proves that they want to withdraw, and they don't want to go through this predicament with Dongfang Haitao at all." ”

"Qiaoyin, what should we do?" Zhang Jingru asked.

Tang Qiaoyin put her hand down, looked at the gray sky outside, and sighed, "Jingru, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this level." ”

"Qiaoyin, our three sisters said that they wanted to create a big career, we all survived the tax reform at the beginning of the year, and we can do the same this time!" Zhang Jingru held her pink fist and encouraged her seriously.

"This time is different, our opponent is too strong, and capital has given up on us!" Tang Qiaoyin shook her head, and her pretty face became even more bleak.

Although she has an adventurous heart and a unique business vision, she is too small to withstand the storms of the mall. She thought she could build a new e-commerce giant, but at the end of the day, nothing could be changed.

Up to now, Huaxia's e-commerce exhibition has formed a situation in which the 40 major thieves are respected and several other princes occupy one side. It is becoming increasingly difficult for other forces to get involved in e-commerce.

Fortunately, the times are constantly changing, and e-commerce has been in China for ten years, and now a group of middle classes have gradually emerged in China. The "Taobao hot style" launched by various online shopping platforms can no longer attract them, and their understanding and demand for online shopping have risen to a higher level.

Against this backdrop, some savvy start-ups have set their sights on overseas markets and into the cross-border e-commerce space to meet the needs of these emerging middle classes.

Tang Qiaoyin also saw this business opportunity, and Xun founded Oriental Haitao, focusing on cosmetics and maternal and infant categories.

This overseas shopping platform is actually a blue ocean market, not to mention lucrative cosmetics, like a coach bag in the shopping malls of Huaxia is 6ooo yuan, and the purchase in the United States is only 2ooo yuan, which is the difference of 4ooo yuan.

Thanks to the strong purchasing power of the middle class and the continuous appreciation of the Chinese currency, foreign goods that were originally very cheap have become cheaper. Due to the repeated food safety crises in China, the overseas shopping market is growing day by day.

However, the good times did not last long, and the state soon stepped in, and the Ministry of Finance, the General Administration of Customs, and the State Administration of Taxation jointly issued the "Notice on the Tax Policy for Cross-border E-commerce Retail Imports", thus introducing a new tax system with heavier taxes.

For example, the tax rate on high-end watches, cigarettes, alcohol and cosmetics has reached an astonishing 6o%, and popular maternal and infant FMCG categories such as milk powder and diapers have risen in different ways, thus reducing the profit margins of overseas shopping, and the tax exemption history of "tax exemption below 5o yuan" in the past has also ended.

Affected by this, Dongfang Haitao suffered a lot of impact at the beginning of the year, and the company turned from a profitable enterprise to a loss. Of course, although the tax rate has risen, the price advantage still exists compared to traditional stores in China.

Dongfang Haitao carried out a second round of financing at the beginning of the year, and originally thought that it would get better. It's just that I didn't expect that international capital and Chinese Internet giants have entered this field, and they have burned money to occupy the market.

Due to the lack of credibility of the brand, competitors were soon labeled as "selling fakes", and the portal that stored the interests of ZÀI magnified some minor problems, resulting in a declining transaction volume on the platform.

These angel investors saw that the shape was wrong, and ordered the employees who served as COOs in Dongfang Haitao to transfer all the only 5oo funds left in the account, which caused the company's capital chain to break, and Dongfang Haitao became even worse.

Bang!

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a figure hurriedly ran in, it was the third founder, Zhu Hong.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Jingru asked.

Zhu Hong's face was flustered, "Oh no, the people of Mingxing Capital asked for a board of directors to be held immediately, and Dongfang Haitao was put up for sale!" ”

Tang Qiaoyin silently closed her eyes, finally knowing the nature of these capitals. When you can make a profit for them, they can use you as a grandfather, and when something goes wrong on your side, they can run faster than anyone else.

Three days later, the board of directors was convened as scheduled, and the board of directors, composed of three angel investors, not only removed Tang Qiaoyin from his position as general manager, but also decided to list and transfer Dongfang Haitao to recover some losses.

It's just that Tang Qiaoyin did not go to the board of directors, but appeared in Dongfeng Building.

She stood in front of the open space of the building, looked up at the towering building, and took a deep breath. Just yesterday, the people who invested in September went to the company for a small inspection, which ignited a small hope in her heart.

She naturally knows something about this new September investment. It is not only the most potential Internet company, but also a venture capital company with abundant funds, and the latest e-commerce website Xingfumen Snack Network is the handiwork of this company.

Despite her little hope of winning the favor of the company, she decided to try her luck and planned to meet with their boss. If you can get the capital injection of this company, then all the problems of Dongfang Haitao will be solved.

Of course, she didn't dare to get her hopes up now. After all, the other party is just conducting a small investigation, which is a very common behavior for venture capital companies, and it does not mean that the other party is interested in Oriental Overseas Shopping.

In addition, she no longer had any chips in her hands. First, the controlling stake of Dongfang Haitao is not in her hands, and secondly, the current situation of Dongfang Haitao cannot easily make people question her ability, I am afraid it will be difficult to even meet the other party.

"Be careful!"

When Tang Qiaoyin was about to walk towards the building, she saw a little girl with a schoolbag on her back and sliding towards the gate on a skateboard, while a cart full of boxes on the opposite side was about to crash.

Bang!

The skateboard slid forward, hit the pickup truck, and rolled to the side. Before that, Tang Qiaoyin had already picked up the little girl, stepped up that step, and successfully avoided this little accident.

"Oops...... I can avoid it! Tiger Niu looked at the falling skateboard and said helplessly. In fact, she really didn't lie, she really had the confidence to avoid the little cart just now.

Tang Qiaoyin let go of her nervous heart at this time, but a deep helplessness swelled up, daring to love herself was too much.

Tiger Girl seemed to see that she didn't believe her, trotted over and picked up the small skateboard on the ground, and then demonstrated it earnestly. I saw that this fleshy little girl was a little athletic, and the skateboard flew up the small steps at once.

Bang!

With no rush, the wheel fell to the edge of the steps, and Tiger Girl's ass fell heavily to the ground, making her frown in pain. (To be continued.) )8
