Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Zhang Feng felt that he had been left out.

He also found Lin Ran more and more magical, as if everyone in the capital knew him.

Zhang Guangming asked the clerk to make tea for Lin Ran, and said diligently: "I was counting the goods just now, so I didn't come out to greet him. Please forgive me."

"No, I just heard about Tianmei Electric's name and came to visit." Lin Ran smiled.

"Tianmei Electric is not famous, but Shengshi Craftsmanship has become a business legend in the capital under your management." Zhang Guangming is a person who loves to learn.

He usually likes to read books about business.

When he saw the relevant information about Shengshi Craftsmanship in the newspaper, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had found a confidant.

Because Lin Ran's ideas coincided with his.

He is determined to bring high-end electrical appliances into people's homes as affordable commodities.

Lin Ran turns expensive antiques in the industry into handicrafts of the same price, becoming decorations and collections for ordinary people.

Their purpose is the same, to let people live a better quality life.

Therefore, when he saw Lin Ran's business card, he didn't even bother to continue counting the goods and immediately ran to the store.

When other shopping guides saw this scene, they couldn't help but admire Xiaomei's vision.

They also know the current situation of the store.

Boss Zhang plans to continue to expand the store, but is hampered by insufficient funds.

Lin Ran came to him to discuss business, just because he wanted to cooperate.

If the two of them reach an agreement to cooperate, Lin Ran will be their boss.

Now they just hope that Lin Ran didn't hear their gossip.

Lin Ran actually didn't take their words to heart at all. Their worth and level were different.

Zhang Feng saw that they were going to discuss business for a long time, so he proposed the purpose of this visit.

"Xiao Mei, you take Afeng and his classmates to see the flashlight, and show it to others who need it." Zhang Guangming arranged for a shopping guide to take his nephew shopping.

And he and Lin Ran had to discuss an important business.

Lin Ran cleared his distracting thoughts and said with a smile: "Boss Zhang, actually I came here today just to become your agent."

"Agent?" Zhang Guangming was stunned. "Don't you want to open a store with us? Let me tell you, my store can earn more than 20 yuan a year. As long as you invest [-] yuan, I guarantee that you will be able to return it in one year." Book."

Zhang Guangming persuaded Lin Ran to invest in their store.

He needs funds now to open another store of the same size in the market in the west city of the capital.

Lin Ran smiled and said: "I will not participate in investment activities without controlling rights."

The implication is that what he wants is not dividends, but the management rights of Tianmei Electric.

Lin Ran mentioned in Zhang Hongyu's personal autobiography that he was partnering with his younger brother at the time, and his younger brother refused to hand over the management rights until his death.

In the end, we really couldn't run the business anymore, so we compromised with him.

After seeing the decoration of the store and chatting with him briefly, Lin Ran understood Zhang Guangming's character.

He is a man who has a strong desire for control, is determined to achieve everything, and is full of confidence.

This kind of personality has an absolute advantage when you are just starting out.

However, when the company develops to a certain level, management that refuses to accept the opinions of others will be a fatal disaster.

Zhang Guangming was indeed a little unhappy when he heard this.

"Actually, opening a store is very tiring. I think Mr. Lin has been opening his own store for a year, so he should have the same feeling." He pretended to be open-minded and said with a smile, "It's better to be a hands-off shopkeeper and get dividends every year. You don’t have to put in any effort, so why not do it?”

Lin Ran saw that Zhang Guangming seemed to be talking truthfully, but in fact he was avoiding important matters and taking trivial matters.

He couldn't help but smile in his heart. Hearing it once is better than seeing it.

He still said: "Then how do you guarantee my income?"

In Business Talk, Zhang Guangming was not angry, but explained his business ideas.

Listening to his eloquent talk, Lin Ran nodded from time to time.

I secretly admired in my heart that Zhang Guangming really has a certain business vision. No wonder he can bring Tianmei Electric to the market.

But he still made one mistake, that is, he took too big a step in the early stage.

"I think the CD players that are popular abroad have a vast domestic market. If we can capture this piece and create our own brand of CD players, we will not only be able to gain a foothold in the country, but also enter the international market."

His philosophy is indeed correct.

Compared with tapes, CD players have more sound channels and can provide a better music experience, and their technological appearance is also very popular among young people.

However, his idea was still too idealistic.

As someone who has experienced this, Lin Ran understands deeply that the dispute between genuine and pirated products has just begun.

The domestic economy will indeed continue to grow in the next few years, but there is still a certain gap compared with developed countries.

The most important thing is that there are many domestic factories, and the thresholds for tapes and CDs are different.

If you want to rip a tape, you only need to pay the price of a tape reel.

As for CD players, equipment needs to be purchased from outside.

The price of genuine products is obviously not affordable by the people of this era.

Most people have just passed the food and clothing line and have begun to pursue a better life and invest a lot of money in cultural consumption, which is extremely unrealistic.

As a handicraft store owner, Lin Ran knows this very well.

But he didn't say it directly.

Because this is an important opportunity.

Needless to say, Zhang Guangming is a talented person. As long as he can be guided well, it is safe to hand over the management of the company to him.

The premise is that above Zhang Guangming, there is a senior person with veto power.

Lin Ran pretended to be convinced by him, nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang makes sense."

"Right!" Zhang Guangming said with a hint of light in his eyes, "As long as 30, do you agree?"

"Okay." Lin Ran agreed readily.

What Zhang Guangming lacks most now is money. As long as he gets funding, he can invest in the research of new products.

He held Lin Ran's hand excitedly and said, "Mr. Lin, I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

"However, I have one condition."

"What conditions?" Zhang Guangming was startled and said, "What matters when doing business with others is mutual trust. If you believe in my management ability, then invest in me. If you don't believe it, forget it. I will not hand over the management rights. For other people, that’s my bottom line.”

Zhang Guangming knew what Lin Ran wanted and had mentioned it to him before.

"Of course, but it's natural for investors to want to protect their rights, right?"

"That's natural. Tell me, what are the conditions?"

"Let's sign a gambling agreement." Lin Ran smiled and said, "In one year, if your CD player sales exceed [-] and you get the first year's income, the money will be yours and I won't have anything to do with it. .”

"Fifty thousand?" This number is really looking down upon.

Zhang Guangming felt that he was determined to win.

"Okay, I promise you."

"Don't be so anxious. If it's not sold, I won't ask you to honor the stock commitment, but I want the company's veto power."
