As deep as you are as hell

In a blink of an eye, it was Friday, and when I finished all the tasks at hand, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the group, a silver-white commercial vehicle parked in front of me.

Lin Xi held the steering wheel and lowered the window with a cold face: "Miss Chen, get in the car."

I glanced at the back row and found that there was no one in the back row. Is this car specially here to pick me up?

I just don't know why, but I feel a little disappointed.

The Jingjiang community is luxurious and luxurious, and it is a wealthy area in City A.Walking through the villas, I have a feeling of returning to Shanghai in the 40s and [-]s.

When we arrived at the gate of the villa, Lin Xi handed me a key: "Miss Chen, please go in and call the president."

"Aren't you with me?" I looked at her suspiciously.

Lin Xi said expressionlessly: "It's not easy to park here, please trouble Ms. Chen."

"Ok."

As soon as I opened the door, the first thing I noticed was the layout of the room. The sky blue floor-to-ceiling curtains hung down to block the night outside the window.The blue furniture and the spiral staircase make me feel like I am in the deep sea.

There is a sand painting hanging on the wall of the living room, the strokes are too rough, and the lines of the picture are a bit rough.

I could barely make out that it was a girl.

A very young girl.

"Don't look around, come here."

I turned my head and saw Chu Ting sitting on the sofa wearing a black bathrobe and holding a tablet.

He was infiltrated by such a wealthy family, his temperament was like jade, and he always had a kind of nobility.

I retracted my gaze, and obediently sat down on the single sofa diagonally opposite to Chu Ting.

"You should take a look at Huamao's information first."

He handed over the tablet.

As soon as the cold fingertips were touched, I lowered my eyelids.

Huamao is a well-known maternal and child store, which has achieved a national chain.What is more famous than their products is their service attitude.

Because there are many customers who come to shop for expectant mothers who are bulky after pregnancy, they will provide corresponding door-to-door delivery.

For example, if a customer buys milk powder and diapers in a physical store, as long as he puts forward his needs to the staff, a "courier" will deliver the goods to the door on time.

If you place an order online for maternal and baby products, the fastest delivery service can reach your door within 15 minutes.

This is also the first mother and baby store in the country that has created and perfected the "home delivery" service chain.

During this year's 520 festival, Huamao once again became popular, because the courier gave every customer who asked for home delivery a bouquet of fresh roses, wishing customers a happy holiday.

Therefore, Huamao is known as the "most humane" mother and baby product company.

Judging from the current situation, Huamao is indeed a piece of fat worthy of the eyes of big names from all walks of life, but Chu Ting also wants to get a piece of it... I don't quite understand his motives.

Yuanshui Group's ability to achieve its current scale must be inseparable from the strategizing of the highest authority.

And Chu Ting was young, only in his early thirties, if he didn't have a keen sense of business, probably not so many shareholders would agree to him being the second in command of the group.

I was still lost in thought, Chu Ting asked me aloud: "What do you think?"

I hesitated, wondering if I should speak my mind.

"You can say whatever you want." He took a sip of tea lightly, rolling his Adam's apple up and down.

I put the tablet back on the table and run through my train of thought in my head first.

"Actually, I don't think it is necessary for Yuanshui Group to acquire Huamao Company." Although Huamao's strength and market value no matter how you look at it, it is our group's first choice for cooperation.

"How do you say it?" Chu Ting crossed his hands, his eyes were serious, and there was no trace of teasing.

"Our Yuanshui Group is originally a venture capital company. Although we have acquired other companies to expand our real estate business in the past two years, the positioning of our group has not changed, has it?"

I cleared my throat and continued to concentrate: "The company's main business is to invest in listed companies that may have high profits and high output value in the future, help listed companies sell shares, tax consulting and agency, etc. A mother and baby store in Huamao, and our main business What's the deal with business?"

The information on Huamao that Chu Ting gave me was complete, and I scrolled down the information again and stopped at Huamao's development history.

"In 2019, Huamao executives decided to adjust the store's product placement structure and add a condiment cabinet next to the milk powder."

I frowned slightly, thinking that this was the problem.

But what I didn't notice was that Chu Ting's eyes kept falling on me, and my concentration made him feel a little subtle.

"I remember that there was a very popular mother and baby product company abroad. When the company's performance was booming, they started selling beer next to milk powder. Many people didn't understand what this company meant until the first month's performance. come out."

Their performance hit a new high in the industry, and 25% of the contribution value came from the sales of beer.

Later, the company explained that they made this adjustment based on market research.

At that time, it was usually men who came to the maternity and baby store to buy milk powder and diapers. After they finished shopping for what their wives needed, they would also buy a bottle of beer and go back home, drinking while watching a football game at night.So beer and milk powder, two seemingly unrelated products, can eventually produce such a wonderful chemical reaction.

Chu Ting made a hypothesis: "But Huamao already provides door-to-door delivery service, and a few more bottles of oil and vinegar will not increase the delivery cost."

"What's more, women are more likely to go in and out of the kitchen now. When mothers-to-be see such a condiment cabinet when they visit a maternity and baby store, they will also think about what they lack and what they want to buy."

I shook my head and looked straight into Chu Ting's eyes.

"But in my understanding, beer will be purchased more frequently than condiments. A man can buy a dozen beers a day, but will housewives need to buy a bottle of oil or vinegar a day?"

"Supermarkets are strong potential competitors of maternity and baby stores. Many domestic residents are used to buying condiments and going to supermarkets. I still think Huamao's move is too risky, and it may not be able to receive the expected increase in user stickiness. "

"Then what's your final conclusion?"

"Really?"

He nodded, and there seemed to be some encouragement in his eyes?

I took a deep breath: "I don't think we should buy Huamao, but we can invest."

People have self-knowledge.

And obviously, I don't think I have that wisdom at the moment.

I'm just an extremely ordinary employee in the Yuanshui Group, and today I dare to speak out and question the president's decision.

I seemed to see Lin Xi standing firmly in front of me, and said to me expressionlessly: "Chen Jiao, you are dead."

When I lost that kind of concentration, I realized that it was a bit cold at the moment.It seems that the air conditioner is turned on in the living room, and the temperature is a little low.

Chu Ting crossed his hands, and his broken hair hung down on his forehead, covering the emotions in his amber eyes.

"Is this all your thoughts?" He took the tablet back and flicked it a few times with his slender fingers.

In fact, I only said seven points, but in front of a well-informed boss, how dare I play tricks?
So I shook my head.

"Think about it for another 3 minutes, and I want to hear more of your thoughts."

But Chu Ting didn't play cards according to common sense at all!
After 3 minutes, I had no choice but to say dryly and racking my brains: "As the saying goes, every company has its own development cycle..."

Chu Ting interrupted me indifferently: "Get to the point."

I gritted my teeth, and said with a death-defying expression: "Huamao is a family business, and it has never gone through the path of selling shares to let outsiders raise money to take power. It won't go before, and it won't go in the future. We want to buy it , not to mention whether it is a difficult thing, at least it is thankless."

Chu Ting's acquisition is no less than directly burning the flames of war to the opponent's lair.

Too much risk.

"The information I gave you didn't contain the information you just said, how did you know?"

"In the business of venture capital, you should be sensitive to the big and small things in the market. What's more, Huamao is such a large and representative company."

I can still talk about the comparison between it and Yunyou for three days and three nights.

There was a slight vibration in Chu Ting's chest, and joyful laughter came out.There were stars in his eyes when he looked at me, as if he was admiring that I really impressed him.

I used to work in Erythrina Red Bank, and when the colleagues who came in to work with me all went up several levels, I was still standing still.

I once thought that I was synonymous with incompetence, and I have been doing it with peace of mind.

But it wasn't until today that I discovered that this is the state of being serious about work.

Feelings of happiness, abundance, fullness, and joy permeate my body, and I finally don't have to count the number of times I go to and from get off work.

Chu Ting took a document bag from the side, and put a thin contract in front of me.

The title of the contract is impressively "Plan for Investing in Huamao Company".

It turns out that the fundamental purpose of Chu Ting asking me to come here tonight is to test me and see if I am really incompetent!

If I had behaved in a mess just now, not only would I not be sitting here now, but I would definitely not be the one who can go on a business trip with Chu Ting tomorrow.

"You've said it pretty well, but you haven't paid attention to the most important point."

I didn't know why I looked at Chu Ting.

He sat down and drew closer to me: "The second son of Huamao Group is getting married soon."

"The boss of Huamao announced very early on that he would not accept any investment from venture capital companies, and even said that he would abdicate after the second son gets married. But this second son is even more stubborn than his father, and he was decisive at the summit a while ago express this will.”

If our initial willingness to cooperate is not respected, subsequent progress will only be more difficult.

"In the future, you can ask me anything you don't know about venture capital and private equity." Chu Ting suddenly said lightly.

I bit my lip and subconsciously refused: "Actually, I can..."

He glanced at his watch: "Okay, it's getting late, let's rest. We have an appointment with Huamao at 07:30 tomorrow morning, and it will take two and a half hours from downtown to their head office. Why don't you go tonight Stay here."

Chu Ting prepared a guest room for me, and the pillows and quilts were brand new.

If I refuse again, it will seem a little petty.
