195 [Everyone is deceived sometimes]
The agent Du Weishan introduced was called Zou Yi, and the company was called Ted, and Song Weiyang had never heard of it.
However, it is normal. Under the pressure of the US imperialists, Wanwan implemented the "free economy" policy since 1986. This led to intensification of competition and mergers among enterprises. Big fish eat small fish, and the number of small and medium-sized enterprises has dropped sharply. Taiwanese businessmen who cannot hold on either went bankrupt or went to the mainland to invest. Every year, dozens of companies completely disappeared.
This food and beverage agency called "Ted" was probably squeezed and went bankrupt later.
Song Weiyang called Yang Xin and asked him to send someone to Wanwan to contact him, but he did not expect much hope. Because of Coca-Cola and Pepsi have been operating in Wanwan for decades, it is very difficult for Coke to squeeze in, and it lacks a publicity point.
Now Xifeng Company owes the bank a lot of loans. When the mainland market is not stable, it cannot withdraw funds and energy to explore the curved market.
Pei Yigen of Citibank called and said that Lenovo's stock price had fallen below 3.5 cents and still had a trend of continuing to decline. This stock has completely rotten and has no investment value. If Mr. Liu had not obtained 500 million yuan in Beijing to fill in it, Lenovo would have been liquidated and delisted by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
It sounds funny. Lenovo's performance in mainland China has soared this year, but it is in dire straits in Hong Kong City.
The main reason is that Beijing Lenovo and Gangcheng Lenovo are not the same company. Gangcheng Lenovo is just a computer product agency controlled by Beijing Lenovo. Mr. Liu has always thought about merging, but the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Lenovo's superior unit) will not approve it.
The situation of Lenovo stocks is very different from Song Weiyang's memory. It is estimated that it will not be possible to appreciate within half a year.
Then invest in other industries.
"Mr. Song, happy cooperation!" Cai Zhiping shook hands with Song Weiyang and smiled.
"Happy cooperation!" Song Weiyang said with a smile.
In Shenghai Light Textile Market, Cai Zhiping and his partners only invested more than 40 million yuan in total, accounting for 70% of the shares, and the remaining 30% of the shares belong to the local government (land investment).
Now that the business is screwed up, the government and shareholders want to withdraw their investments.
Shareholders withdraw their investments because they do not see the hope of development. The government withdraws investments because they hope that the textile market can develop healthily, because officials are sent to be deputy general managers, resulting in extremely rigid and chaotic management of the textile market.
Although the light textile market is rotten there, it makes money. At that time, speculators bought and rented shops frantically, which directly contributed hundreds of millions of funds. Now the overall valuation of the light textile market is 220 million yuan!
Song Weiyang invested 25 million pocket money and directly acquired the shares of three small shareholders, obtaining 12% of the shares.
Too profitable!
This is the largest light textile trading market in the Yangtze River Delta region, and it is also located in Shenghai. You can get 12% of the shares with 25 million yuan, which is no different from picking up money.
Cai Zhiping was even more powerful. He borrowed more than 100 million yuan from Zhejiang businessmen, and then mortgaged tens of millions of yuan from the bank, eating up all the remaining shares.
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
"Old Cai, I wish you great success!"
"Boss Song, I'm impressed by the fact that I've done big things at a young age!"
“…”
Other shareholders who sold their equity came to congratulate them. They didn't invest much in it at the beginning. Although the light textile market was screwed up, they made double their profits one by one.
To put it bluntly, it is to treat Song Weiyang and Cai Zhiping as suckers.
After all these guys left the conference room, Cai Zhiping suddenly pulled the article and said with a smile: "The man is not good at making a plan!"
"Haha, as long as you have confidence," said Song Weiyang.
Now the two are the only remaining shareholders of the textile market. Cai Zhiping said: "Next, we have three things to do. First, we will seek more government support, especially policy support; second, persuade the merchants who left the market to come back; third, invest in establishing stations and purchase dozens of buses to attract customers to the market for free. I promise that the textile market will become prosperous in half a year!"
What is the biggest problem in the textile market? The location is too remote and the transportation is extremely inconvenient. No customers are willing to come, so merchants leave one after another.
If you follow Cai Zhiping's idea, this difficulty can be solved perfectly.
Common people like to be greedy for cheap things. When they encounter free buses on the road, for those uncles and aunts who have plenty of time, even if they don’t buy them, they will choose to take a bus to check them out. The light textile market is remote and large in scale, and the prices of goods must be low. Can uncles and aunts not buy them when they see them? Maybe they will buy a lot of them and bring one to their relatives and friends, for fear that the prices of goods here will increase.
Song Weiyang said: "You don't need to give me a reassurance, I believe you. And I have also said that I will not participate in the management, but will only send people to check the accounts regularly."
Cai Zhiping laughed: "Boss Song is the most considerate partner. Let's have a drink, I've already decided on the banquet!"
Cai Zhiping was really happy. When those partners heard that they wanted to build a station and buy buses to attract customers for free, they collectively opposed it, including the government's shareholder representatives.
Song Weiyang took out a book from his backpack: "I am a fool, I just went public, please ask Boss Cai to be a good person."
Cai Zhiping took the book and flipped a few pages, praising: "Boss Song has a Confucian business style!"
"Call me Xiao Song," said Song Weiyang.
"Then you should call me Lao Cai, too." Cai Zhiping said.
The two looked at each other and laughed loudly, feeling quite like a close friend.
They took a bus to the city for dinner. On the way, Song Weiyang's cell phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, I am Song Weiyang." Song Weiyang said.
Ma Xiaoyun's voice came from the phone, and she was a little depressed: "Boss Song, do you have time to have dinner together?"
"Now?" Song Weiyang asked.
"Yes, I'm going back to Linzhou tomorrow." Ma Xiaoyun said.
Song Weiyang covered his cell phone and said to Cai Zhiping: "A friend came to Shenghai on a business trip and asked me to have a meal."
Cai Zhiping said: "Since it's Xiao Song's friend, it's my friend, let's go together."
Song Weiyang immediately picked up his cell phone and said, "Amao stew, I'll wait for you."
Amao Stew is a high-end restaurant opened by the richest man in Shenghai in the future. The minimum consumption exceeds 100, and a table can be eaten for tens of thousands.
When Ma Xiaoyun arrived, Song Weiyang and Cai Zhiping had been waiting at the dining table for more than ten minutes.
Seeing Cai Zhiping, Ma Xiaoyun was stunned: "Boss Song has a friend here, I'm disturbing you."
Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Let me introduce it. This is the boss of Cai Zhiping, the chairman of Shenghai Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, and the chairman of Shenghai Light Textile Group. This is Ma Xiaoyun, the boss of Haibo Network Technology Company. He has set up a Chinese Yellow Pages, and the Zhejiang Provincial Propaganda Department is his customers."
"So it's a fellow villager, hello, Boss Ma!"
"Hello, Boss Cai, I feel respectful!"
Ma Xiaoyun immediately cheered up and communicated with Cai Zhiping. He was a fellow townsman in Zhejiang Province, and the atmosphere became warm after a few words.
Song Weiyang poured wine for Ma Xiaoyun and said, "What's wrong with you? He was frowning when he came in just now."
"Don't mention it," Ma Xiaoyun waved his hand with a wry smile, "I'm so unlucky lately. I can't show it in front of the employees. This time I came to Shenghai on a business trip. Thinking that Boss Song is also here, I want to invite you to drink and relieve your boredom."
Cai Zhiping explained: "It's normal to do business, it's normal to have ups and downs. A few months ago, I was also overwhelmed. Now it's not yet another village."
Ma Xiaoyun drank two glasses of wine and said, "China Yellow Pages is located in the United States. Customers can't see it even if they invest money. The bosses in Linzhou regard me as a liar. Finally, Shenghai opened an Internet interface. Linzhou dialed Shenghai's phone number to surf the Internet and found the Internet information in the United States. Only then did I be eliminated as a liar. As a result, hey, I actually encountered a real liar!"
"Okay, someone actually deceived you." Song Weiyang was actually a little gloating.
Ma Xiaoyun drank and said, "After I cooperated with the Zhejiang Provincial Propaganda Department, I accepted many media interviews. My reputation became more and more great, and it attracted the scammers in Shenzhen. They said they wanted to be the general agent of Shenzhen City for China Yellow Pages and planned to invest 200,000 in advance. Of course, I was very happy. They said they were not familiar with the situation, so I taught them the operating model and technical issues of China Yellow Pages step by step, and showed them all the company's key information."
Cai Zhiping shook his head and said, "This is not OK. You have white teeth, how can you trust them?"
"I'm still too anxious and inexperienced," said Ma Xiaoyun. "I sent all the backbone of the company to Shenzhen City to help them install and debug equipment, and teach them how to operate it. As a result, I waited for two months without any further details. Until a few days ago, the bosses of Shenzhen City actually built a website exactly the same as China Yellow Pages, and invited many media to hold a press conference!"
Why is Song Weiyang trying to laugh more and more?
There are also times when Ma Da fools him. He helps people train employees for free, teaches people the operation model for free, and even helps people debug and install the equipment, but he ends up creating a competitor for himself.
In fact, Ma Xiaoyun was deceived once last year. Several Americans claimed to invest in the construction of highways in Linzhou. Ma Xiaoyun was invited to be a translator and went to the United States with Chinese personnel. As a result, those were all fraudulent. Ma Xiaoyun found a problem while doing translator and was threatened. He was frightened and ran away without getting a penny of translation fee.
It is precisely because of this incident that Ma Xiaoyun came into contact with the Internet in the United States and immediately raised money to run a website as soon as he returned to China.
"Those people in Shenzhen are thieves, and the Telecommunications Bureau is robbers!" Ma Xiaoyun said angrily, "When Linzhou Telecommunications Bureau saw that my Chinese yellow pages were done well, he actually made a website. The Chinese name was exactly the same, and it was called China Yellow Pages. The English name was mine. They changed it to chinese, and then used the brand I made to drive business in China. The market was robbed by me!"
Cai Zhiping said: "This is a bit unauthorized. The Telecommunications Bureau is a government agency and has an official advantage. How can it take the business under the guise of a false name?"
"Who said no!" Ma Xiaoyun said angrily, "I have found many relationships and asked for love. The Telecommunications Bureau refused to change its name. Instead, I wanted to merge my website. Their proposal was that after the merger of the two Chinese Yellow Pages, I would hold 30% of the shares. They invested more than 1 million yuan and wanted to hold 70% of the shares. I could not make any decisions in the company's business management!"
"Merge, then cash out and leave, or buy the Chinese Yellow Pages directly. Anyway, you can make a lot of money." Song Weiyang suggested.
Ma Xiaoyun was a little discouraged: "I want to cash out too, but I'm not willing to give up, and I don't know what to do next."
In history, Ma Xiaoyun was so competitive in the south that he could not attract customers, so he could only go to Beijing again. He could also search online about his video of his rejection of attracting customers at the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Affairs in early 1996. He was full of bags, and Ma Xiaoyun could only sell the Chinese yellow pages to the Linzhou Telecommunications Bureau, and then he did nothing in the whole of 1996.
It’s not a mediocre thing. This year, with the recommendation of a friend, he directly established a relationship with the People’s Daily, helped create People’s Daily, and undertake the online business of People’s Daily.
This guy went to the capital in a mess, but was invited to talk about the Internet to a group of department-level cadres, which was so amazing that he made all the department-level cadres dizzy.
Song Weiyang took out his book: "I wrote it, it's just published, so I'll help correct it."
"I must read," Ma Xiaoyun smiled terrified, "Now I am so idle that I can only study, and I can't attract customers."
