Chapter 679

It has been said that New York is the essence of the whole of the United States, while Manhattan is the center of New York.

In particular, Wall Street, which extends from Broadway Road to East River in the south, is known as the heart of the world's financial capital system. Every successful businessman is eager to have his own company or office building here.

Of course, among the big conglomerates including Morgan, Rockefeller, DuPont, and the heavyweight headquarters such as the Nasdaq, the American Stock Exchange and the New York futures exchange, so the real estate price is almost the world's largest. At the very least, after the Japanese economic bubble broke in 90s, there is no such place yet.

But none of this has anything to do with Zhang Cheng. The reason why he drove here is just to find out what's important for Maggie to come to him.

You know, according to their previous agreement, they are not allowed to affect each other's private life, let alone directly come to the door.

Obviously, something must have happened to make this mature and steady woman panic and break her original promise.

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng couldn't help laughing and shaking his head. He walked into the elevator alone, pressed the corresponding floor, and entered the beauty and health products company printed with three capital English letters after more than ten seconds.

As the only son and heir of the company boss, he easily walked through the busy office, smiled and greeted Maggie, who was tired and lying on the table with her eyes closed: "Hey, dear, good morning, did you lose sleep last night?"

"Oh God! Damn it! You finally appeared! You know, the company has encountered some big problems recently, and many venture capital companies have focused on us, hoping to raise large-scale financing for the company before listing." Maggie quickly rubbed her dry eyes and issued a solemn warning.

In the United States, a paradise of financial capital, no upcoming company can escape the bite and devour of capital predators.

Whether Microsoft and founder Bill Gates, or Google, bookface and Amazon e-commerce, they all chose to bow to Wall Street financial capital and give up a large number of shares.

In particular, Microsoft, the first to openly resist Wall Street financial capital, was almost dismembered because of the problem of monopoly.

As many Americans joke, talented entrepreneurs in this country may have a certain chance to make a lot of money, but they certainly don't make much more than the financial giants led by banks.

The reason is very simple. Once the latter finds out which company has potential, it will immediately be like a bloody shark, rush up and wave money to buy the shares in the hands of the founder, followed by dilution again and again, and directly grab the company through legal means.

Fortunately, perhaps the founders can retain a certain proportion of shares, and those who are unlucky may be kicked out of the board of directors.

As for those who dare not accept the financing of capital giants, most of the graveyard grass will be three meters high in a few years. Even Microsoft, a powerful monopoly, was tossed and choked in the end and had no choice but to make a compromise.

It can be said that several major banking consortia centered on the Federal Reserve have monopolized almost all aspects of the United States, and they are indispensable for anything that can make money.

"Financing? It sounds interesting. Tell me, what methods did those guys use?" Zhang Cheng touched his chin and asked with interest.

Maggie hesitated a little and immediately replied, "they threatened to cut off our retail network if they don't accept it. You know, the company doesn't open its own brand stores at present. It depends on counters in some shopping malls in the United States and Europe, so it's like being cheated by people in the sales channel."

"What about my mother? What is she going to do?" Zhang Chengming was not nervous at all, but revealed some lightness and banter.

For him, this kind of commercial competition and intrigue has long become a pastime game.

In fact, violet house, the renovated and integrated entertainment place, encountered all kinds of troubles and conspiracies, and even two poisoning incidents.

After all, in a country where almost all the commercial fields have been divided up, no matter what industry they are engaged in, they will inevitably touch other people's cakes, and breaking people's wealth is like killing their parents, so no matter what the other party does, it's not worth making a fuss.

To tell the truth, Zhang Cheng not only doesn't hate this all-out way of competition, but also likes the daily life of coming and going with his competitors.

On the one hand, it can take this opportunity to relax and relax. On the other hand, it can make him feel that he is still a person with normal emotional and physiological needs.

In contrast, Maggie can be said to be extremely nervous and explained in a very fast speed: "the boss is a little hesitant! Because the other party will ask for 45% of the shares! If you really decide to raise funds, your original shares will be greatly diluted."

"Well, I see. Thank you for reminding me. I'll deal with it."

After getting the information he wants, Zhang Cheng turns around and leaves.

But before she could take a few steps, Maggie took his arm from behind, lowered her voice and hinted in an ambiguous voice, "don't you think you've forgotten something?"

"Oh! I almost forgot!" after that, Zhang Cheng turned around and kissed the bright red lips in front of countless people.

For a whole minute, when they separated slowly, he pasted it in Maggie's ear and whispered, "remember! Maggie! Don't go to my house again, let alone appear in front of Elizabeth, otherwise I promise the consequences will be very serious, okay?"

When the latter heard this sentence, his whole body suddenly became very stiff and carefully tried, "she is so important to you?"

"That's right! Besides, don't think you know me very well. You only know the cowardly and incompetent me in the past, not the present me..."

After saying these meaningful words, Zhang Cheng kissed each other's cheek again, and then quietly turned away. The whole process did not show any unnaturalness, as if he still maintained a very close relationship as before.

But Maggie felt the fear from the deep eyes that had just flashed away, and the fear from the bottom of her heart, as if the once familiar man would kill herself without mercy the next second.

She did not understand what could make such a huge change in character. It was like changing another soul.

At the same time, Zhang Cheng also opened the door and walked into his nominal mother's office. He said in a half joking tone: "Mom, you seem to be in trouble. Do you need me to provide some suggestions?"
