Chapter 12 Prosopagnosia

Gu Anning's surprise only lasted for a second, and then his face returned to calm.He nodded to me, then continued to look at the night scene outside.

I was surprised to find that he didn't recognize me again.

"Sorry, I didn't know there was anyone here." Frowning, I was about to exit here, maybe it would be good to go back to the reception and talk to Tiffany now.

"It's okay, sir." Gu Anning said politely, "You are also here to rest, please don't mind me, this place is very big." He casually pointed to the surrounding terrace.

In fact, what surprised me the most was why he appeared on this occasion. After all, this kind of reception is basically a "Wall Street reception", and only the bigwigs on Wall Street are eligible to attend. Especially favored, and why is Gu Anning?

Did he have a relative who had the honor of being invited, and he was ushered in by a relative?

My answer is settled soon though, Egbert.Bennett lifted the curtain himself and poked his head out, "Antonio, are you here?"

Gu Anning immediately stood up, "I'm here, Uncle Egbert, what do you want from me?"

Bennet seemed to be relieved, and he walked in quickly, "I'm fine, Antonio, but your aunt wants to know where you are, why don't you go and play with the girls?"

Gu Anning shrugged, "Sorry, I don't want to dance."

Bennet showed a helpless smile, and he looked at Gu Anning like a child who couldn't grow up.But soon he noticed me standing aside, for a moment, his concerned expression disappeared, and a polite smile appeared on his face again, "Ah, dear William, we meet again, I'm sorry I didn't Note that you."

I tugged on the bow tie around my neckline and stood there a little uneasy. "I should be sorry, Mr. Bennet, but I did not wish to interrupt your conversation."

"It didn't bother me, boy," said Bennett. "Are you chatting with my nephew?" He was curious.

"No, like you, I just came in to get some fresh air. I didn't expect to meet this... your nephew."

Bennet smiled, "This is my wife's sister's child, his name is Antonio. Gu." He walked up to me, "It's a pity, I thought you guys already knew each other, so I don't need to help you I introduced myself to him. You young people must have more topics to talk about than talking to us old men, our drinking party is too boring for you, right?"

As one of my future partners, I dare not say that Bennett's reception is boring, and this person who can make others do their best to flatter him is not something I can comment on. I smiled awkwardly . "On the contrary, your reception was very good. I made many friends here, and of course I am very happy to meet your nephew."

Bennett showed a proper expression of being complimented, but he didn't intend to let me go, or he didn't want to let go of Gu Anning. He enthusiastically introduced my name to Gu Anning. When he heard the words "William Field" Finally, I noticed that Gu Anning's eyes lit up, and there was a smile on his face.

We exchanged a few simple greetings, and then, Bennett said that he would give time to the young people, and walked away enthusiastically, and just after he left, Gu Anning also came up to talk to me.

"Sorry, Mr. Field, I didn't recognize you for a while." He said with some embarrassment, "Please don't think that I have forgotten your help to me. In fact, you may have noticed that I am not very sensitive to human faces. ,so……"

"Oh." I said speechlessly.

In fact, after that day passed, Gu Anning also called and wanted to invite me to a thank-you meal, but I refused because I didn’t have time. Alfonso’s words made me think a lot, “Anyway, it’s been so long, don’t you also Are you here?" I took this sentence seriously, and decided to put all my energy into making money.

What happened at the party was just a small episode, and soon, I was thrown into my new job.

I plan to start a brand new company. Now the business of William Field Securities has officially entered the track. The daily trading volume has remained at a stable figure, and the matter of attracting capital has basically been negotiated, so I can also consider my next step. Development path.

"I want to do something industrial, Chris." I said to my most trusted lawyer, "You know that stocks are not always stable. After William Field Securities can be listed, its future is even more difficult to predict. Maybe I should find a safe way out for myself, you know, eggs should not always be put in one basket."

"So what are you going to do?" Chris asked.

"I want to develop a platform for e-commerce. Then invite various merchants to directly check in. In terms of technology, we have Yizak, who will be our technical consultant and can directly design a mature website and transaction system for us."

"E-commerce platform?" Christian wondered, "You mean online shopping malls like EBAY and Amazon?"

"Yes."

Chris shook his head, "I'm sorry to spoil your fun again, William. Are you going to use your website to compete with Ebay and Amazon? IMHO, Ebay and Amazon are very mature e-commerce sites today, and their The customer base covers the whole United States and even the five continents of the world, and it maintains a good cooperative relationship with various banks and major postal systems. Cracking the ground between your feet to survive."

"Does its customer base cover 100% of Americans?" I questioned, "As far as I know, 80.00% of people still choose not to use eBay and Amazon as shopping channels."

"That's because the Internet is not yet popular. William, many people prefer to go to the store to pick up physical goods instead of going to the website to buy. But 100% of the customer base who will go to the online store has entered the eBay and Amazon websites."

"So, this is our chance, Chris. First of all, the Internet will definitely become popular. Maybe you think I'm dreaming, but I think in the next ten years, the Internet will develop to every corner of the world. Secondly, ebay and Amazon has shortcomings, which means that it is not invulnerable, and there are always ways to defeat it. Think about it, when e-commerce transactions become a brand new cake in the future, we can only watch others divide up the cake, but we ourselves It’s such a tragic thing to not be able to eat anything. Are you going to let this happen? No! We have to prepare as early as possible to have a place in the future market.”

My stubbornness convinced Christian, and with his help, I successfully injected capital into the establishment of William Field E-Commerce Company, which mainly operates two websites, the Atlantic Electronics Mall of the Model Amazon and the Cruiser Trading Mall of the Model eBay, but I know that the imitation The road must not last long, and all success must be based on its own characteristics.

"I need more people, more advertisements, and more customers." I have clear requirements for these two websites, "We may not have the slightest income in the early stage, but don't be afraid, I will continue to invest money to support this development of the company."

"The question is how do you plan to attract more merchants?" Although Christian has chosen to trust my decision, he still has doubts about how to build a website system. "Perhaps the Atlantic Ocean can find suppliers of various products only by asking for money. I can think of you as opening a large online supermarket. But this theory is not feasible for cruisers. You can guarantee that there are tens of thousands of stores on your website willing Enter?"

"Good question Chris, my answer is: By free." I said, "You were right. Now ebay is a behemoth, and it can run over us at random. But they need to charge, we don't Yes. Think about it, if the ebay seller has already paid to set up his store on ebay, why not choose to copy an exact copy on our website? There is no loss for them, and I don’t need them to pay any processing fees.”

"But free can't bring benefits?" He said in surprise.

"We can only free for three years." I replied, "After a large number of merchants decide to register on our cruiser, we will establish a charging model, and we must develop a dedicated transaction system and bank binding, this model I will tell you in detail later. Simply put, customers will store their money in our trading system, so that we will have funds available for a period of time without paying any interest. Don't forget that our old business is Investing, increasing available cash is what is best for us."

All the work is in full swing. Among them, Yitzhak's studio has made great efforts. With my permission, he has expanded the number of staff again and divided the studio into two parts. One is still researching the speed-up of the communication system. , and one is designing the website and trading system for me.After much deliberation, I finally spun off William Field Communications Studios into a new company and renamed it William Fields Electronics Studios.The studio is named under the banner of William Field Investment Group and is a subsidiary.Of course, both William Field E-Commerce and William Field Securities became subsidiaries of this group.

Brandon gave me a great tip on how to advertise.

"Now you are worth more than 5000 million, boss, maybe you can now accept interviews from some of the larger newspapers and magazines, and tell how you succeeded. Americans like to hear this, and they will You are curious."
