บท 17: Chapter 17

The one-stage financing plan is more successful than expected.

Early the next morning, Luke received a private call from the president of Chase Bank, the general manager of Wells Fargo, and the CEO of Quinn. The three showed great interest and asked about the company's future plans many times, especially in terms of operations. It can be seen that they are very worried about the profitability of social networking companies.

ShowMe was started for free, and free things can always attract attention. If you change the existing system, add members, privileges and other fee-based services in the middle, it is likely to cause a large loss of existing users.

For their worries, Luke did not explain too much, just put forward a few creative ideas.

After the conversation, Luke walked out of the office and told Charlie at the door,

"Notify Robert and let him come to the office."

"He didn't come to work."

"It's half past nine, and I haven't come yet."

Charlie shrugged, indicating that I don't know either.

"Let Cindy come to see me, and also, call Robert."

When Cindy walked into the office, Luke was talking with the vice president of Citibank. Seeing this, she sat silently on the sofa, her right hand gripping the document, her expression a little nervous.

She had heard about the company's preparation for financing a long time ago, but as the head of the finance department, she couldn't get involved at all, like an insignificant outsider.

In contrast, the boss clearly trusted Robert Downs more.

The competition is cruel. If you can't, you will soon be replaced by others. Cindy, who has had a resignation experience, knows this well. She decides to fight for the future.

"Boss, this is the planning copy I prepared, about financing."

"is it?"

Luke became interested, opened the file, and quickly browsed. Cindy stood aside nervously, pinching the corner of his clothes, staring at the overly delicate face without blinking, and did not let the slightest change in expression.

After a while, Luke closed the file and smiled.

"Very good plan, great."

Cindy breathed a sigh of relief and listened to Luke again.

"It just so happens that there is a task for you to do. This afternoon, the Commerce Department of Wells Fargo and Citibank came to the company to negotiate. You are responsible for the reception. Remember, you must not be impatient or indifferent. This negotiation will continue. In a few days, we have plenty of time to deal with them."

"I see, boss, I'll make arrangements now."

Cindy turned and walked outside, hesitating when he reached the door.

"That plan..."

"Put it with me first, I will watch it a few more times."

"Ok!"

Cindy smiled reluctantly, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his bloodshot eyes, but said nothing.

Luke knows what the other person is thinking and how much effort she puts into it, but some things can't succeed by hard work.

If Robert's plan is calibrated as 90 points, Cindy's score can only be counted as 70. There is a gap in both the rhythm control and the overall situation. As for the details, let alone the details.

If an Internet company wants to grow bigger and stronger, strategic investment is the hurdle that must be crossed. If you want to cross this hurdle, top financial talents are indispensable to escort you. Look at the Internet that has become the world's top from scratch. The company, which is not the case, Ali Cai Chongxin, Tencent Liu Chiping, Facebook David Ebersman, etc.

ShowMe also needs such talents.

Just thinking about it, people arrived.

With a bandage on his left hand, Robert limped to the office. His left cheek was red and swollen, and his right cheek was covered with bruises. If you look closely, you can see the marks on your palms.

Seeing him like this, Luke frowned immediately.

"What's the matter, who did it."

"It's okay!"

Robert smiled forcefully, "I met a few street gangsters when I went out in the morning."

"Have you called the police."

"Already notified the police station, it is probably useless."

Luke got up to help him and complained, "Don't make a call in advance if you are injured like this, let's go, don't stay here, go to the hospital first!"

"No, it's all traumatic and doesn't affect work."

"No matter how busy work is, it is not as important as body."

"I know my body very well. If there is a problem, I will ask for leave. I hope that the boss will approve it."

With that, Robert opened his shoulder bag and took out a document that stood in the dirt.

"This is the copy I compiled overnight. You can see if there is anything that needs to be revised."

Luke took a deep look at him, opened the copy, and read it carefully. The copy was written in great detail. It not only described the various accidents and solutions that may be encountered in the process of equity replacement, but also conducted a detailed analysis of several companies and consortia that may become shareholders. , The advantages and disadvantages are all marked out.

After reading the copy, Luke has a feeling of seeing the sky through the clouds and mist.

"It was really the right decision to call you into the company."

Robert smiled lightly, "These are all things I should do."

"Well, since you don't want to go home, just recuperate in the company. Later I will ask Charlie to find a quieter room for you to rest."

"The negotiation that afternoon..."

"Leave the negotiation to others, and you are responsible for checking."

"Well, then I'm leaving now."

Ok! "

Luke nodded, and after watching the other party leave, he opened the copy again and checked it word by word. He read it three times to make sure that there was nothing missing. He closed the file and locked it in the drawer.

"Charlie!"

Charlie walked in quickly, "Boss, you call me."

"Go to the Queens Police Station to find out if there was a fight in the Stanlin community this morning."

"understood."

Then Luke called in the directors of other departments, arranged their tasks, and devoted all his energy to the work of coding.

...

Wayne Manor, suburb of Gotham City.

Alfred pushed open the door of the master bedroom and said to his young master who was leaning on the bed and yawning.

"Master Wayne, I have to remind you that it is only half an hour before twelve o'clock. Do you want to have breakfast, lunch, or breakfast and lunch together."

"Alfred, don't always tease me about this."

"Okay! Let's change the topic. Blair sent an email this morning, and the social software you are following is under financing.

Oh!

Bruce came interested, "What's the situation?"

"The other party has a big appetite, only sells 20% of the shares, but asks for an offer of no less than 40 million US dollars."

Bruce doesn't care about money, only plans.

"20% is too little."

"It's really not enough. If you really plan to use public opinion to fight criminal organizations, at least 50%."

Bruce put on his clothes and said solemnly.

"It looks like I'm going to have a good talk with Blair."

Alfredera opened the curtains to let the sun drive away the darkness in the house.

"One more thing, ShowMe created a hero column on the homepage, and gathered all the videos and pictures related to Superman and Batman into their respective columns. Netizens showed great enthusiasm for this, especially on who is strong and who is weak. The discussion on the issue was intense."

Bruce said helplessly,

"Alfred, don't talk about these meaningless things."

"I think it's funny, don't you wonder who is more powerful than you or that muscular freak with S on your chest."

Bruce: "..."
