Chapter 693: Playtime (Medium)
"Huh, Maggie told you everything about the financing?" Zhang Zhi, who was sitting at the desk, raised her head, and there was no surprise on her slightly pale face.
As a strong woman with a strong desire to control, she has long known that the relationship between the two is inseparable and uses each other, and she also knows that Maggie will be 100% on her son's side in terms of the distribution of power within the company.
Because she single-handedly promoted all this, initially thinking that if her only son could not inherit her own business, it would not be good to have a strong daughter-in-law come forward to take power.
But what the ambitious mother did not expect was that after a series of messy events, her son finally showed the courage, vision and ruthlessness that a qualified capitalist should have, and even exceeded expectations in some aspects of talent and luck, which in turn helped him achieve his career ambitions.
Zhang Cheng smiled and nodded: "Of course, if she doesn't even inform me of this kind of thing, I will start to think about whether to change to a beautiful girl who is obedient to be my secretary." After all, honesty and loyalty are very important qualities, and in my opinion they are much more important than talents, at least in the top management of the company, there must always be one or two loyal people in order to better monitor and manage the operation of the enterprise. ”
"Well said!" Zhang Zhi's eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction, and then he crossed his hands in front of his chest, and asked bluntly: "What's going on over there at the cultivation base?" I heard that you haven't shown up for a while, so don't forget the most important thing. ”
"Don't worry, everything is working well and it won't be long before the harvest is in progress. And that partner has already done that, and now I own all the shares of the entire biolab. Zhang Cheng deliberately pretended to be full of confidence and replied.
I have to say that the impostor has been going on for longer and longer, and he is becoming more and more accustomed to the identity and role he plays, and he no longer has a sense of rejection in his subconscious.
I'm so proud of you. Tell me, what advice do you have for the company's current situation, or do you think we should bow to Wall Street Financial Capital Group?" Zhang Zhi pursed the corners of her mouth, and threw out the question with a smile, wanting to give her son a small test.
Zhang Cheng undoubtedly knew this very well, and sneered sarcastically: "Bow your head? Are you kidding? What kind of guys is Wall Street financial capital? To put it nicely, it's called a hungry wolf, and if it's ugly, you can't spit out bones if you eat people." If we show even a little weakness, the same thing will happen again. Financing, diluting shares, expanding shareholdings, restructuring boards, hostile takeovers, and so on are all tactics that work. Therefore, no matter how the other party threatens, we cannot give up more than 20% to 25% of the shares and equity, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable once listed. ”
"That's a good analysis! It seems that you have indeed matured. But the question is, right now that we're in the retail supply chain, what are you going to do about it?"
"Hehe! It's very simple! Since the traditional retail network is stuck in the neck of others, why not try a new way of sales? For example, the Internet! We can take advantage of the current maturity of e-commerce to replace those traditional retail industries. In addition, you can also find agents in various regions to cooperate through agent sales to break the ridiculous blockade of the other party. No matter how powerful Wall Street financial capital is, it will not be able to fully control the entire United States, and there will always be people who will stand up against them for the sake of wealth. The only thing we have to pay is a small profit. Compared to a rising business empire, this is nothing at all. ”
With that, Zhang Cheng sat on a chair and began to look around at the chicly decorated office.
It has to be said that this ambitious mother is quite stylish in terms of taste, whether it is decoration or furnishings, it strictly follows the Renaissance style, especially the bronze sculpture at the door, which is definitely worth millions of dollars.
"Internet?!" Zhang Zhi obviously showed surprise.
Although she already had a contingency plan, she never dreamed that her son would come up with another bold idea.
You must know that it is only the beginning of 2004, and e-commerce is still a new thing in the strict sense, and it is in its infancy, and many large traditional enterprises in the United States are dismissive of it, and it will not be until two years later that they will gradually accept and join it.
It was not until around 2008 that this industry fully matured, destroying and replacing the traditional retail industry at an extremely frightening rate, and becoming a truly valued commodity circulation and sales channel by countries around the world.
Since 1991, when the US Government opened the Internet to the public and allowed the development of commercial application systems on the Internet, the network industry has developed rapidly in a short period of 10 years, and by the end of 2,000 years, the turnover of e-commerce has reached $5.3 billion. One of the leaders, Amazon, had a net profit of more than $50 million last year and is expected to make a profit of $300 million this year. Of course, it is still far from the traditional retail industry, but in terms of profit growth rate and turnover, it will inevitably be an Internet giant in the future. On top of that, this company is in the midst of a business expansion period and will definitely be eager to cooperate with us for the purpose of promoting and capturing the market......"
As a person who has come over, Zhang Cheng is naturally no stranger to the development of the Internet, and he also understands how huge changes will be in the future sales channels, so it is not too easy to talk about this aspect.
In just a few minutes, he was able to tell the story of e-commerce, social media, and more.
Zhang Zhi rarely did not interrupt or ask questions, just sat in her seat and listened patiently, raising her head from time to time to look at her slightly unfamiliar son.
After about ten minutes, she took a deep breath and said in a slightly emotional voice, "You gave me a surprise! A huge surprise! You know? I used to think that you seriously lacked business acumen and vision, but I was wrong. Since the Internet will have such great prospects for development in the future, why don't we plug in before it enters the high-speed track. ”
"What do you mean?" Zhang Cheng blinked with some uncertainty.
"I mean share swap! exchange a portion of our shares for a portion of Amazon's shares. Anyway, if you want to cooperate, it is better to cooperate more comprehensively, and by the way, give those Wall Street financial capital a little color. ”
As she said this, Zhang Zhi's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
She's not the kind of woman who smiles when she's threatened.
On the contrary, from the very beginning she had thought of asking the enemy to have a little color to see.
