Chapter 167: Human nature and long-term affection are the human nature that has been penetrated
Early the next morning, as soon as I returned to the Hong Kong office, I received a call from Danny: "Brennan, I recently took on a very good project to help a Chinese fast food chain that is now in the limelight to introduce Series B financing, do you want to see if you are interested?" ”
"Danny, you should know that catering is not our SM's investment direction." Brennan said explicitly.
"Ah, sure enough, I expected that. I'm just asking, what if you change direction? Ha ha...... I found a local VC, and the terms have been almost negotiated. Brennan knew that Danny must be a drunkard again, not drinking.
"The characteristic of this local VC is that it is super rich and very foreign. I feel that if it is operational, I still have room to increase the price again. I had to help the fast food company pack it, their current team is all relatives and messy nepotism, and the team presentation really doesn't look good. I have to help them bring in some talents with foreign investment backgrounds, so that they look tall and international. ”
"I've asked headhunters to help me find a few people. One of them, which I particularly valued, was that when the chairman of the board saw this person's resume, he was also like a treasure, and he wanted to dig it up. However, I asked this person several times, but he refused to come out to see me, saying that he had no intention of changing jobs. Brennan didn't squeak and continued to wait for Danny, who was always selling the guanzi but couldn't hold it back, to pour out the medicine from his gourd.
Danny, accustomed to Brennan's long silence, continued to throw stones for directions.
"I'd like to ask you a favor: Can you meet with him and help me persuade him? Although he usually works in Shanghai, his family is in Hong Kong, and he is in Hong Kong these days, if you are willing to help me with this, I will immediately call him to make an appointment and ask him to come to your company to find you. Danny's tone grew more and more excited.
"Danny, while I'd love to help, I don't know anything about the project you're working on and can't tell if this company is a good fit for him." Brennan felt that Danny's proposal was too illogical.
"Ah, you can trust me, I think it's appropriate, and there must be a reason. Well, if you really feel reluctant, don't persuade him to join this company first, just persuade him to meet with me, okay? As long as he is willing to see me, I'll take care of the rest! Danny's big almond eyes sparkled with confidence.
Brennan thought it was too strange: not to mention how precious my time was, even if it could be arranged, why did this person need me to persuade him? After dealing with Danny for so many years, Brennan has become accustomed to the chain sets he keeps laying out, but those moves of his, in Brennan's opinion, are harmless, and he will not say it if he sees through it, and he will laugh it off.
"Danny, listen to you, this person has no intention of changing jobs at all, so why do you think he will come to my office to see me when I promise to do you this favor? Wouldn't he say no in one go? ”
"Don't say it's because of who I am in SM, I won't believe it." Brennan cut off the excuse Danny was trying to make.
"Alas, dealing with smart people is to be forced into a corner!" Danny let out a wail, and the reason why he was hiding and hiding could only be told the truth: "This person is VPMarcus, the supply chain of Shengbai. I got to know it, and it seemed that he was only interested in meeting you when it came to you. ”
Marcus?? Aimee's first love?? No, no, Aimee's first love should be me, although before I could confirm the relationship, I was disrupted by Luo Xia. But this man is the hero of Aimee's relationship, how many times, Aimee told me about the ups and downs with Marcus in the email, which made me so sour and tormented.
I never thought that I could have an intersection with this person! It seems that this Danny is really profound, and he must know this relationship, so he dug a hole for me and Marcus to jump together.
But even so, what about meeting in person? Got to know him, as he did with Justin, and developed him into a friend and brought him under my jurisdiction.
"Yes, then at half past six tonight, if it's convenient for him, you let him come to my office!" Brennan knew that talking to Danny would give him less information and be more efficient, so he succinctly confirmed his offer.
Hearing Brennan's quick yes, Danny clenched his fists in excitement and secretly applauded his wisdom!
"Okay, okay, he'll be there on time." Yes, that's how confident!
Danny was proud: Thankfully, I dug deep into the ground and dug up some rumors that this Marcus had been with Aimee, and I didn't know the extent of Aimee's influence on him at the time, but as soon as I pretended to be casual and threw out Brennan on the phone as Mr. Aimee, he immediately said that he was willing to meet. And now Brennan also agreed immediately without hesitation, this is the benefit of penetrating human nature, there is no purpose that cannot be achieved! I'll just say that this Aimee is my lucky star, fortunately, I haven't provoked her much, and it seems that I have to do something for her in the future, so as to be blessed and happy.
When the headhunter approached Danny, Marcus thought they were joking: how could he possibly fancy this chain of Chinese fast food companies? As a competitor, he has a deep understanding of them, and does not deny that there are international companies that are contemptuous and contemptuous of local rivals, but more importantly, their management team is full of unclear family members, if I parachute into them, what can I do? You can't tell the difference between southeast and northwest just by standing in line, right?
Looking at the world, there are very few companies in this industry that can compare with Sainbai, right? What's more, after so many years, I have become handy with this job, why is there any need to change?
When Danny pleaded with him if he could meet with an investor from one of the world's top investment banks, he was still not interested until Danny said that the investor was Mr. Aimee.
After Marcus and Aimee broke up, the two have been in touch. He would send an email greeting to Aimee every holiday, and Aimee would also wish him back. He gave birth to a child, Aimee got married, and gave birth to a child, such life events, and they all reported to each other, just like two good friends.
Every time he passes by the exhibition center, Binjiang Avenue, or even sees the Bund, he will remember the two people hugging each other. The flower and bird market has long been gone, and I dare not go, for fear that I will suddenly travel back to the past, but I still can't catch the Aimee who smiled so brightly.
After so many years, his heart still hurts every time he thinks of Aimee. "Actually, we are very similar, we are all the same kind of people, and even the kind of people who think exactly the same." Here's what he once said to Aimee. So what kind of person did she marry? Of course curious, of course I want to know.
