The Richest Man in the DC World

Chapter 17 Who is Strong and Who is Weak

The first-stage financing plan was more successful than imagined.

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

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

Luke didn't explain too much about their concerns, just offering a few creative ideas.

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

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

"He didn't come to work."

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

Charlie shrugged, saying I didn't know either.

"Have Cindy come see me, and call Robert."

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

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

By contrast, the boss clearly trusts Robert Downs more.

Competition is cruel. If you can't do it, you will soon be replaced by others. Cindy, who has quit her job, knows this. For the future, she decides to give it a try.

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

"yes?"

Luke was interested, opened the file, and browsed quickly. Cindy stood nervously with the corner of her clothes pinched, staring at the too delicate face without blinking, not letting go of the slightest change in expression.

Halfway through, Luke closed the file and laughed,

"It's a great plan, it's great."

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

"There is a task that needs to be done by you. This afternoon, the commercial departments of Wells Fargo and Citibank came to the company to negotiate. You are responsible for the reception. Remember, you can't show impatience and don't be too indifferent. This negotiation will continue. We have plenty of time to deal with them for a few days."

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

Cindy turned around and walked out, hesitating when she reached the door,

"That plan..."

"Put it here first, I'll read it several times."

"All right!"

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

Luke knows the other person's mind and how much effort she has put into it, but some things can't be successful without hard work.

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

If an Internet company wants to become bigger and stronger, strategic investment is a hurdle that must be crossed. If you want to cross this hurdle, top financial talents must be escorted. Look at those Internet companies that have made it to the world's top Internet step by step from scratch. Companies, which is not the case, Ali Cai Chongxin, Tencent Liu Chiping, Facebook David Ebersman and so on.

ShowMe also needs such talent.

Just thinking about it, people will come.

Robert, who was wearing a bandage on his left hand, limped to the office, his left cheek was red and swollen, and his right cheek was covered in bruises. If you look closely, you can see the imprint of the palm of your hand.

Seeing him like this, Luke immediately frowned,

"What happened, who hit it."

"fine!"

Robert forced a smile and said, "I went out in the morning and met a few street gangsters.

"

"Have you called the police?"

"The police station has been notified, and it is estimated that it is of no use."

Luke got up to help him and complained, "Don't call ahead if you're so injured, let's go, don't stay here, go to the hospital first!"

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

"No matter how busy you are, your body is not as important."

"I know my body very well. If there is a problem, I will ask for leave. I hope you can approve it when the time comes."

With that said, Robert opened the bag and took out a document standing in the dirt,

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

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

After reading the copy, Luke had a feeling that he saw the dawn of the sky,

"It was 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 at the company, and I'll ask Charlie to find a quieter room for you to rest later."

"Negotiations that afternoon..."

"The negotiation is left to others, and you are responsible for checking."

"Okay, then I'll go first."

"Um!"

Luke nodded, and after watching the other party leave, he opened the copy in his hand again, read it word by word, three times in a row, made sure there was nothing missing, closed the document, and locked it in the drawer.

"Charlie!"

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

"Walk over to the Queens Police Department and find out if there was a fight this morning around Stanlyn."

"understood."

Then Luke called the supervisors of other departments, and after arranging their respective tasks, he devoted all his energy to the work of coding.

...

Wayne Manor, a 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 keep making fun of me about this."

"Okay! Let's change the subject. This morning, Blair sent an email. The social software you follow is planning to raise funds."

Oh!

Bruce came interested, "How's it going?"

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

Bruce doesn't care about money, he only cares about planning.

"20% is too little."

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

Bruce put on his clothes and said solemnly,

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

Alfred pulled the curtains open to let the sunlight drive the darkness out of the house.

"One more thing, ShowMe created a hero column on the homepage, and collected all the videos and pictures related to Superman and Batman into their respective columns, netizens showed great enthusiasm for this, especially who is stronger and who is weaker. There was a heated discussion on the issue.”

Bruce said helplessly,

"Alfred, don't say these meaningless things."

"I think it's very interesting. Don't you wonder who is more powerful, you or that muscle freak with black hair on his chest."

Bruce: "..."
