Chapter 8: A good husband is measuring his wife's growth step by step
From the first day of his career, Danny thought it would be a shame to spend 100% of his energy on the job in front of him. The current job is just a platform, on this basis, you should look for a higher platform, life is like climbing steps, you can't always stand on the step under your feet and never move, even if you don't move, the people who come behind will squeeze you down or trample you to death. You have to climb this level and hurry up to the next level, but the steps in reality are right in front of you, and the steps of life, where the next level is, you have to find it yourself.
Danny is still very satisfied with himself: he was born in a very small village with five older sisters, he is the only son, and when he has memories of his parents, his father has been lying in bed and his mother has gray hair. Not long after, his father died, and his mother and sisters spoiled him and cultivated him wholeheartedly, even if none of his sisters finished junior high school, but they trained him to go to a prestigious university.
With his grades, it is okay to continue to study in graduate school, but he thinks that only fools stay in school all the time. In China, a bachelor's degree from a prestigious university is already the best starting point, and it is the most cost-effective to enter a foreign company as a management trainee. In the first two years, he desperately suppressed his desire to change jobs, forced himself to stay in the first foreign company to give full play to his talents, and at the same time, opened his eyes to find the next level, and sure enough, soon, he was directly promoted to the manager level. With this foundation, I began to contact headhunters, and like a stock, I have been hanging on the high-end talent market, waiting for various institutions to speculate and operate.
Over the years, headhunters in China is a period of development, very much need to buy and sell, other candidates are either dead, or not enough, Danny has both strength and enough to understand the rules of the workplace, and the headhunters cooperate harmoniously and tacitly, not to mention formal work, even the kind of temporary projects such as financial consultants, he will never miss it, full-time part-time temporary job, positive wealth and windfall, and even pocket money, did not let go.
Headhunters love this Danny so much! They even nicknamed him "Swimming Fish" behind his back - a workplace loser would be fired, and Danny was such a comfortable swimmer as "Swimming Fish" - he was also a big swimming shark, so powerful that he could swallow a bunch of fish around him whenever he wanted to open his mouth.
He has been able to endure in Youjia for more than three years, and in his life resume and career planning, it is already a super long, after all, Youjia is a rare top platform, and if you want to find the next level, you must look at it, otherwise, it is likely that you think you are lifting your feet up, but in fact, you are stepping on the air. Another reason is that he won a place in Youjia to study at the newly established Europe-China Business School, and he had to use the company's money to finish the book.
Like Aimee, a stupid person who only knows how to work, the company asked her to go to study, and she also said that she had to travel a lot for work, and she really didn't have time, so she didn't go. In fact, the work is done for the company, the books are read, the knowledge and connections are their own, and she is the kind of person who can't see which is more important, and she deserves to be just a hard life.
Now Danny is analyzing: Even if I win the fight with Hanson, it will only stay on the same step for a little longer, and there is no greater benefit. Now that the book has been read, there is no greater value for Youjia, and the next level should be in a private enterprise. In fact, I have long been looking for opportunities to develop in private enterprises, and it is not enough to make a fortune and earn wages, which I am of course very clear, but I can earn a lot more, and set the standard for the growth of salary and benefits at each stage for myself, which is the basis for improving financial resources.
But what can really make people achieve geometric growth in wealth is shares. In the world's top 500 foreign companies, it is almost wishful thinking to want to get shares of the company, but private enterprises are different, many bosses are not highly educated, even if they have education, they do not necessarily understand finance. My next opportunity must be to help these private enterprises raise funds and go public.
But I have never been in this field before, and I know more people in this field, and with my learning ability, I will soon become an expert. No, now join the private enterprise Tuyi, in fact, has done very well in the field of special bus manufacturing, but the company in the central city, information is not developed, the boss is only known to work hard, do not know to look up at the sky, business is so good, but often their own cash flow out of breath, I go, and he talks: if I help you to finance, how much do you give me immediate commissions, but also give me how many dry shares held in the company, this stupid boss, Don't you think these are the only things you can do when you do them? Give give, give! He gave it to me so happily. Alas, after finishing this order and continuing to make orders, these bosses are so stupid that people are embarrassed not to make their money.
Who do you know who is an investment banker? Come to think of it, it's only Aimee's husband. How can we know him? Please Aimee come to my house to play. With Aimee's unsuspecting of people, she will definitely come; As long as she promises something, she will not forget it, and no matter how busy she is, she will fulfill it; If I was a little ambiguous or indecent in my words, she would definitely not only come, but also bring her husband. yes, that's how I know her β no, aren't they already standing on my doorstep?
Danny's enthusiasm surprised Aimee: he once said that with his intelligence, he couldn't afford to smile at most of the people in the world, anyway, what they thought and whether it was valuable to him or not was known at a glance. Aimee's opinion of Danny has always been very ambivalent: she admires his wisdom and insight beyond ordinary people, but she always feels that he is not the same as his original intention in many things. However, everyone is an old colleague, and they also do mergers and acquisitions together, Guan Huajing, and they have experienced so much together, and this friendship should still be cherished. People are inherently different, just seek common ground while reserving differences.
Still, obviously: Danny is interested in daylight today, and thinks daylight is useful to him β and Aimee gets that.
Danny showed them both around his veritable mansion: it was so large that any furniture, even the dΓ©cor, was exaggerated. Just a sea of tea occupies the area of an ordinary person's suite. All the materials used for furniture, decoration and decoration are the kind of precious materials that are familiar to the general public β such as mahogany, golden silk nanmu, Hetian jade, gold ...... This is very Danny: never spend money on things that need brand education, but let things that already have brand appeal to enhance his pride.
Outside the window is a large garden, and at night, you can vaguely see the unfinished stone road and the rockery that is nearly completed.
"Professional things should be left to the most professional people. I'm looking for this garden. I asked them to come up with a plan, and they were so happy. Danny said this, with some pride:
"The residents in our community, few people come to them to make plans, I told them that if they want to enter this community, they have to have a case, and I am their case, and they used my garden as a model to do it, and that heart, even I am such a picky person, I admire."
"I paid a down payment and doubled the budget on top of the offer they gave me, so they could do better, and they were happier and happier! When they were about to finish it, I found a few random places and said that I was not satisfied, and I was unwilling to pay the money later. They can't do anything about me, the only thing they can do is to withdraw, what if they withdraw? The latter projects were not meant by me in the first place. β
"Some owners think they are smart, looking for large companies to come up with design plans, looking for small individual construction, thinking that they have taken advantage of something, which is really stupid! Small self-employed, if you don't give money, he will come to your door every day to pester you, and a large company like Beideou, they are a global chain, the only thing they can do is the legal department to come forward to fight a lawsuit, but will they fight a lawsuit with me? Because of me, offending potential luxury customers in our community? Design and construction are very subjective, I can't say it's good, it's just not good, they say that they can't win in the end. Anyway, this garden of mine is now making a lot of money. β
Aimee was stunned for a moment, and looked at Bai Tian several times, but Bai Tian's expression did not change and fluctuate with Danny's painting like her, but kept smiling and listening quite seriously.
Dinner was eaten at Danny's house, such a big house, there was no live-in aunt, Danny's temporary chef service was grand and thoughtful, and the food was really good. Sure enough, during the banquet, Danny began to talk to Bai Tian about planning for the listing of TUI, and Bai Tian asked a lot of questions, and Danny answered them one by one very clearly. When Aimee was auditing, I found that the work during the day was so professional and complicated, I couldn't understand a lot of things, and when it was over, the knowledge gap was too big, and I had to strengthen my learning. But it seems that even Danny can't understand, that's better, he's one of the best finances in the excellent family, he is confused, I'll forgive myself for a while, anyway, I want to learn, I can find Dabai at any time.
So, at a meal, the only one who eats the most is Aimee. Danny thinks this girl is really stupid and stupid, and found such a good-looking and easy-to-use husband. However, he immediately denied himself: Aimee is not stupid, but he is too simple in terms of life, and the comprehensive evaluation is quite a match for the day.
"Alas, when I saw the two of you, I knew what it means to be a golden boy and a girl, and a good couple, I am really envious!" Danny said this with sincerity that he couldn't believe it.
"Aimee, you are so blessed, your husband is really excellent! I rarely see anyone smarter than me, and Mr. Bai is! Alas, I'm a little inferior......" Danny shook his head and sighed.
"Danny, you used to be a colleague of Aimee, she has always praised you and admired you, so let's not be too outward, you can call me Brennan or Lao Bai! I can arrange a formal exchange between SM and TUI, which is not only more possible for TUI, but also thanks to you for bringing business opportunities to our SM. β
After this meeting, Danny and Bai Tian have established a relationship, and they no longer need to go through Aimee. Through this exchange, Aimee also gained a basic understanding of Danny's company. She also longs for her small company, and one day, she can have such a high-level worry.
At the moment, what you have to worry about is how to set up the company.
The first thing to do is to have an office. Aimee recalled that the most magnificent of the startups she had been to so far was just like Ma Jun, renting a one-bedroom apartment in an extremely ordinary or even dilapidated business building, with the boss in the room and the employees in the hall. Almost all of the others are rented houses, slightly better than private houses, and rented for both commercial and residential purposes.
"Da Baibai, I plan to rent a one-bedroom apartment in a private house, and I can save a little." It's rare this week, he can't go on business from Thursday to next Tuesday, and today and Sunday, he can also accompany his wife and children.
"Coriander baby, what is the purpose of your office?" Bai Tian, who was playing with Xiao Lun on the train, turned around, touched her head and asked.
"Office, reception of visitors." Aimee replied immediately.
"Yes, the office is to make the team more professional; Visitors are received to reflect the company's personality. If you rent a one-bedroom apartment, can it do this? The inspiration of the day made Aimee realize: Indeed, if in a place with a particularly poor environment, let employees sell such an expensive moral style, not to mention the customers who come to the door, even themselves, are not confident, right?
"Also, if you are doing import business, you have to consider how to operate the import process, and whether the banking, customs declaration, logistics and other supporting facilities around the office are convenient."
"Da Baibai, you're too professional, aren't you? You are not only my angel, but also my entrepreneurial mentor! Ning Qian was really surprised: I used to look for entrepreneurial guides everywhere, isn't there a ready-made one here?
"Would you like some rewards?" Bai Tian asked, pointing to his cheek.
Ning Qian immediately kissed each other deeply, Bai Tian smiled with satisfaction, Xiao Lun hurried up and asked to kiss too, Ning Qian and Bai Tian kissed Xiao Lun's tender little face, Xiao Lun clicked and laughed.
"However, all my entrepreneurial experience comes from observation and thinking, just on paper, and it is you, my coriander who is really down-to-earth. You are the hardest one, and I am reluctant to let you endure hardships, including working in a private house, including crowding the subway. You go to learn to drive, and after you learn it, I'll buy you a car, and it's easier to go out later. β
After coming to Shanghai to work during the day, SM assigned him a chauffeur car, but he and Aimee never used the bus for private use, Aimee had been at home with the children before, rarely went out, and never had the idea of learning to drive. In this way, learning to drive is on the agenda, and the time has to be arranged well, Ning Qian turned on the computer, saw that there was an email, clicked on it, and exclaimed!
Whose email did she receive? What did the email say?
