Rebirth: My 80s

Li Jiankun leaned lazily on the sofa, flipping through a business plan casually.

Sun Zhenyi stood beside him, hunched over, feeling a little nervous. It wasn't that he lacked confidence in his business plan, but he was worried that the other party would find an excuse to not give him the money...

Who knows if what he said that day was just an angry remark?

Regardless of whether his budget is enough for him, his purchasing power is still quite good compared with the society.

In fact, normally speaking, the richer people are, the less likely they are to spend money recklessly. They have clear goals and it’s a habit. When they spend money, they must create value.

It is a bit unreasonable to throw money at someone to start a business, and then be certain that he will fail and then wait and see.

At this age, Sun Zhenyi does not have a clear understanding of his own value, at most he is conceited.

Li Jiankun wanted to laugh but it was not funny, thinking that history had not deceived him:

"Publish a magazine?"

Sun Zhenyi nodded seriously and said:

"I was in the software wholesale business before, and the idea for this business plan came from the experience I learned from failure."

He paused and stared at Li Jiankun:

"I believe you will not doubt that something smarter than the human brain will definitely have a future, right?"

Li Jiankun shrugged: "So?"

Sun Zhenyi continued: "The reason why my software wholesale business failed is that the user group is too small and computers are far from popular.

“But in the process of running the business, I found that people were actually very interested in new things like computers.

“So I thought that if I could create a computer magazine that was popular and fresh, it would be a big seller.

"At the same time, this will lay a good foundation for my future career."

In Sun Zhenyi's view, this is a good entrepreneurial plan.

Even Kitahara Sosuke and Yoshino Hideshi said that after trying, it was too early to start a software business and advised him to step back.

Sun Zhenyi didn't say one more thing: This move will be of great benefit to the development of the information age and the entire society.

It's a great plan.

He is confident and enthusiastic.

Snapped!

Li Jiankun put the business plan on the glass coffee table, curled his lips and said, "You will fail."

Although Sun Zhenyi didn't fight back, his expression showed his dissatisfaction. He thought, are you looking for an excuse?

"The budget is five hundred thousand dollars, right?"

Sun Zhenyi nodded.

"I'll give you a million dollars with one request: hurry up! I don't have that much time to play with you."

Sun Zhenyi opened his eyes wide. There was something he dared not say out loud. He thought, is this guy sick?

In addition to being shocked, he was also very excited: "Don't worry, with such sufficient funds, the speed will be very fast!"

It is not difficult to publish a computer magazine. This area is almost blank in the market, and he has plenty of materials.

It's nothing more than finding a printing company to do the typeset, printing, packaging... and produce the product.

Then market and bring it to market.

In fact, his budget of $500,000 was already more than enough.

A million dollars...keeping it is like riding a rocket.

……

……

In his previous life, Peter Clark, head of Cisco's business unit, once commented on Sun Zhenyi:

"He is not like the slow-paced Japanese, but more like a man of action."

half a month later.

The professional computer magazine "Oh! PC" founded by Sun Zhenyi was launched.

While the company was producing the product, he had already spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on advertising.

He has always believed that marketing is the top priority for any project involving product sales.

In addition, although the earlier software wholesale business did not succeed, it was not in vain after all. He had business dealings with 42 Japanese benzene stores and 94 software practitioners.

This is a ready-made sales network.

On the day when Oh! PC was released, Sun Zhenyi carefully prepared an ordering meeting at the office of the rented SoftBank.

The business partners were very gracious and almost all of them attended.

This is closely related to the fact that although he failed in business, he took on all the debts by himself and did not let any of his partners lose money. This has accumulated a good reputation for him.

The atmosphere of the ordering meeting was lively.

Dealers were eager to purchase goods.

The first batch of 50,000 magazines prepared by Sun Zhenyi were sold out in less than two hours.

This made Sun Zhenyi very excited. That night, he took a few company employees to hold a team-building event. He drank two more cups of wine. At the table, he was a little unconvinced and said something that confused the employees:

"I admit that he is a rare genius."

“But no one can be right all the time.”

"He runs a big business, so it's normal for him to look down on small businesses, but he may not understand small businesses."

"What does it mean that dealers are so enthusiastic about placing orders? Everyone is optimistic about Oh! PC. How can the vision of so many industry insiders not be as good as that of an outsider like him?"

"He is too proud. But I can understand that. He is young, haha..."

The next day, Sun Zhenyi stayed in the company. In addition to arranging work and asking employees to continue planning activities or running errands in the market, he patiently waited until dusk.

He didn't eat well all day, but he didn't feel hungry at all. He was excited. He sat at the wooden table in the simple office and started calling dealers one by one:

"Hello, Akiyama-kun. May I ask how the sales of Oh! PC are going today?"

"Alas, it's not ideal. Many people read it, but few bought it. Only two copies were sold."

"what?"

The smile on Sun Zhenyi's face froze.

...

"Hoshino-kun, are you ready to get off work? You've worked hard. I want to ask how the sales of Oh! PC are going today?"

"Please don't mention it. Only one copy was sold..."

"what?!"

The corner of Sun Zhenyi's mouth twitched.

...

"Ms. Xue Na, hello, you are tired after working all day. I want to ask how the magazine sales are going at your place today?"

"Oh, Mr. Zhenyi, this thing is not selling well at all. No one is interested in it. I haven't sold a single copy all day. I got a thousand copies and filled up an entire shelf. It seems I have to remove them... Eh? Are you offline, Mr. Zhenyi, are you listening to me?"

Sun Zhenyi's forehead was covered with sweat and his face was pale.

……

……

Li Jiankun looked at Sun Zhenyi, who looked tired and had bloodshot eyes, as if he hadn't slept for a month.

So he said to Lao Sun: "Give him a cup of coffee to wake him up."

Soon, Lao Sun called a female staff member and brought two cups of coffee.

Sun Zhenyi took the cup behind and said thank you.

He didn't drink the coffee. He gently placed the cup on the glass coffee table and looked up at Li Jiankun:

"Mr. Li, I owe you this money. I will pay it back no matter what. Please give me some time."
