Chapter 21: There is always a gourd, there is always a medicine
"Aimee, if I partner with you, I will definitely not let you suffer, after all, you are my nobleman. Without you, where would I be now? Although Aimee never felt that he had really helped Nathan in the past, it was just because they were the most suitable choice at that time, although Aimee had heard him say such words countless times, and he had never been moved by this, but at this moment, hearing his words again, Aimee was still moved by his gratitude.
If it weren't for such an uncomfortable order from De Meron, Aimee would not have considered selling its shares to Nathan at all. But don't you have to prepare for the worst now? Since someone came to the door automatically at such a difficult time, of course it should not be refused, so Aimee agreed to Nathan and began to talk to him in detail about letting him take a stake in the company.
From the day we started talking about the partnership, Nathan asked Aimee to report to him at least twice a day: at 8:00 a.m., before he went to work, and at 6:30 p.m., after he got off work. If he happens to come to Hongqiao during the day to run errands, he will also be randomly inspected at any time. Aimee had already provided him with the company's financial reports and merger and acquisition proposals, and sometimes he said that he didn't have time to read them, sometimes he said that he didn't understand them, and sometimes he said that he didn't agree with them, so he asked Aimee to report back to him in person.
The location of the report is basically the Chinese restaurant on the second floor of the five-star Zijiang Hotel near Aimee, where he sits elegantly, either eating breakfast, dinner, or afternoon tea. He never beckoned Aimee to eat or drink with him, and his tone and actions were elegant, reserved, condescending, and serious.
Aimee has always been on call and patient in answering. Seeing that the days were passing day by day, and then slowly and leisurely, the container was about to arrive in Hong Kong, and the day when the funds were needed was getting closer and closer, and she couldn't afford to delay, so she asked Nathan very frankly: Will you buy shares? How much money do you spend and how much do you invest?
Aimee also told Nathan the truth about what happened to Demeron: "This is my business decision: I would rather bear huge financial pressure on myself than let such a high-end brand open the Chinese market from a hypermarket stall." If you do this, in addition to the damage to the brand, the department store counters that have been opened will be affected: didn't you say that it is a high-end toy brand from Germany? How can a chain retail store from Germany actually set up a stall? ”
"That's why I need to consider bringing in partners at this time." Aimee felt that since it was a partnership, I should tell the truth to my potential partners about my actual situation.
"Oh, I just admire your care for the brand! It is worthy of being a senior marketing talent from Youjia! Nathan immediately looked appreciative.
"In this way, if your company's registered capital is one million yuan, then I will contribute one million yuan, accounting for 50% of your shares, which is very fair, right?" Aimee does not have any experience in doing business in partnership with others, and has no concept of valuation, rationality of equity structure, etc., and can only judge by intuition. There was a real shortage of money at the moment, and there was nothing to pick on, so she said, "Nathan, thank you for your trust." I can accept this condition, the only requirement is that your investment money must arrive by the specified date, if not, then the cooperation cannot be effective. ”
Nathan expressed full understanding and acceptance, and the two sides signed a formal agreement, and a big stone in Aimee's heart was put down.
I have to find a way to continue selling goods. In the past few days, everyone has come up with a lot of ideas, but none of them are feasible, Perry, Carl and Harry have noticed that the boss is busy with them every day, but also goes out early and returns late: "No, we can't let the boss be busy alone, we have to find a way." Carl said.
"I'm so stupid, why can't I do anything about it?" Harry regretted why he hadn't studied well at the time.
"Carl, you're a college student, and you're the most capable, think about it!" Perry urged Carl.
"We just sat in the office, and we couldn't think of any way, or the three of us would leave one person in the office and the other two in a group and take turns going out to look around and find inspiration." Carl's proposal was quickly approved.
The three of them walked around the neighborhood and found that there was no one anywhere, and the huge Shanghai seemed to be suddenly empty. The bustling crowd has always been the most distinctive scenery in the city, and when the most vivid and lively people suddenly disappear from the picture, the painting becomes a little strange and weird.
Perry and Carl, who had turned around for two years and still found nothing, returned to the downstairs of the company and met Lao Li from the small post office on the first floor in the lobby. Perry goes downstairs from time to time to send documents, and he is very familiar with Lao Li.
"Lao Li, has your business been good lately?" Perry now asks people if business is good.
"What's good? There is no one. Lao Li sighed.
"Look, our post office was originally a big pot of rice that was stable and delicious, but now it has been forced to contract outlets, so I have to find a way to make money!" Lao Li handed over two leaflets: "Come on, come on, show the two of you too, I didn't do it before, but now I can't do it, just take it for business!" ”
Perry and Carl took the flyer and reluctantly went upstairs to see that Aimee had returned to the office. They put the leaflet on the table and told Aimee about the fact that Lao Li was also forced to contract. Aimee picked up the leaflet, looked at it seriously, and suddenly asked Perry: "Can you invite Lao Li to our company to talk right away?" Carl came back to his senses: "Of course, of course!" Immediately grabbed Perry and ran out.
Aimee carefully asked Lao Li what resources he had in hand now. It turned out that Lao Li actually had the addresses of almost all communities within a five-kilometer radius near the Hongqiao Development Zone. "Then can you help us deliver DMs to every household's mailbox?" Aimee's eyes lit up.
"That's fine." Lao Li replied very cheerfully.
"The DM must be in an envelope, and the address of the family must be printed on the envelope, and it is best to have the addressee Mr. and Miss, can you do it?"
Aimee didn't want the person who received it to see that it was a DM at a glance and threw it away. If it is in the envelope, the recipient will still open it out of curiosity, and as long as it is opened, he will always look at it.
"Even if you don't necessarily know what Mr. or Miss is, you can print the address on the envelope." Lao Li is very sure.
"Then work hard Lao Li, first provide us with the number of households in all villa areas and high-end communities, and we will start cooperating immediately." Aimee immediately arranged the rest of the work with Carl, Penny, and Lao Li, and Harry hurried over to listen and take notes.
"Michael, can you quickly help me design and produce a DM for the June 1st special, can it be delivered within three days?" Aimee felt that this was a battle, and every second counted.
What kind of gourd did Aimee find and what kind of medicine did she plan to sell?
