Chapter 17

The one-stage financing plan is more successful than expected.

Early the next morning, Luke received a private phone call from the president of Chase Bank, the general manager of Wells Fargo Bank and the CEO of Quinn company. They showed great interest and repeatedly asked about the company's future planning, especially its operation. It can be seen that they are very worried about the profitability of social network companies.

Showme starts with free, and free things always attract people's attention. If you change the existing system, add members, privileges and other charging services, it is likely to lead to the loss of a large number of existing users.

For their worries, Luke did not explain too much, just put forward a few creative ideas.

After the conversation, Luke walked out of the office and told Charlie at the door,

"inform Robert to come to the office."

"He didn't come to work."

"It's half past nine. It hasn't come yet."

Charlie shrugged to show that I didn't know.

"Get Cindy to see me, and call Robert."

When Cindy walked into the office, Luke was talking to the vice president of Citibank. She sat quietly on the sofa, her right hand clutching the papers, and looked a little nervous.

She has heard about the company's preparation for financing for a long time, but as the head of the finance department, she can't get involved at all, just like an insignificant outsider.

By contrast, the boss obviously trusts Robert Downes more.

The competition is cruel. If you can't do it, you will be replaced soon. Cindy, who has left the company, knows this very well. For the sake of the future, she decides to fight for it.

"boss, this is the planning document I prepared, about financing."

"Is it?"

Luke became interested, opened the file, and quickly scanned. Cindy stood nervously by, holding the corner of her clothes. She looked at the too pretty face without blinking, and did not let go of any change in her expression.

At half a sound, Luke closed the file and said with a smile,

"great plan, great."

Cindy was relieved and listened to Luke again,

"there is just a task for you to do. This afternoon, the commercial departments of Wells Fargo and Citibank came to the company for negotiation. You are responsible for the reception. Remember, don't show impatience and don't be too cold. This negotiation will last for several days. We have enough time to deal with them."

"I see, boss. I'll arrange it now."

Cindy turned and walked out. When she got to the door, she hesitated,

"that plan..."

"Put it on me first. I'll see it again."

"All right!"

Cindy forced a smile, a trace of reluctance flashed through her bloodshot eyes, but said nothing more.

Luke knows the other person's mind and how much effort she has put into it, but some things don't work out.

If Robert's plan is rated as 90 points, Cindy's is only 70 points. There is a gap between rhythm control and overall view, not to mention details.

If an Internet company wants to become bigger and stronger, strategic investment is the hurdle that must be crossed. If it wants to cross this hurdle, it is necessary to be escorted by top financial talents. Take a look at those Internet companies that have become the world's top Internet companies step by step from scratch, which is not the case, such as Ali Cai Chongxin, Tencent Liu Zhiping, Facebook David ebersman and so on.

Showme needs people like that.

Just thinking about it, people will arrive.

Robert limped to the office with a bandage hanging from his left hand. His left cheek was red and swollen, and his right cheek was bruised. When he looked carefully, he could see the mark of his palm.

Seeing him like this, Luke immediately frowned,

"what's the matter, who's playing."

"Nothing!"

Robert said with a strong smile, "I went out in the morning and met some street thugs."

"Did you call the police?"

"The police have been informed. It's not going to help."

Luke got up to help him and complained, "I don't want to make a phone call in advance even if I'm hurt like this. Let's go. Don't stay here. Go to the hospital first!"

"No, it's all trauma. It doesn't affect work."

"No matter how busy work is, it's not as important as health."

"I'm very clear about my health. If I have any problems, I'll ask for leave. I hope you can approve it."

Then Robert opened his bag and took out a file standing in the mud,

"this is the copy I sorted out overnight. Please see if there is anything that needs to be modified."

Luke took a deep look at him. He opened the copy and scanned it carefully. The copy was very detailed. It not only described all kinds of accidents and solutions that might happen in the process of equity replacement, but also made a detailed analysis of several companies and consortia that might become shareholders. The advantages and disadvantages were all marked out.

After reading the copy, Luke has a feeling of getting out of the clouds and seeing the dawn,

"it's a right decision to call you into the company."Robert said with a smile, "these are what I should do."

"Well, since you don't want to go home, you can take care of yourself in the company. I'll ask Charlie to find a quiet room for you to rest later."

"That afternoon's negotiation..."

"The negotiation is left to others, and you are responsible for the control."

"Well, I'll go first."

"Well!"

Luke nodded and watched the other person leave. He opened the copy again and looked at it word by word. He read it three times in a row to make sure there was no missing place. He closed the document and locked it in the drawer.

"Charlie

Charlie quickly came in, "boss, you call me."

"Go to Queens police station and find out if there was a fight around stanlin this morning."

"I see."

Then Luke called the heads of other departments, arranged their tasks, and put all his energy into the work of typing code.

……

Wayne manor, a suburb of Gotham.

Alfred pushed open the door of the master bedroom and said to his young master, who was yawning on the bed,

"Mr. Wayne, I have to remind you that it's only half an hour from twelve o'clock. Do you want breakfast, lunch or breakfast and lunch together?"

"Alfred, don't tease me about it all the time."

"All right! Let's change the subject. This morning, Blair sent an email saying that the social software you are following is in the process of financing. "

Oh!

Bruce got interested. "How's it going?"

"The other side has a big appetite. They only sell 20% of the shares, but they ask for an offer of no less than $40 million."

Bruce doesn't care about money. He only cares about plans.

"20% is too little."

"It's not enough. If you are really going to use public opinion to fight against criminal organizations, at least 50%."

Bruce put on his clothes and said in a deep voice,

"it looks like I'm going to have a good talk with Blair."

Alfred opened the curtains to let the sun drive the darkness out of the house.

"One more thing, showme created a hero column on its home page, and gathered all the video pictures related to Superman and Batman into their respective columns. Netizens showed great enthusiasm for this, especially on the issue of who is strong and who is weak."

Bruce said helplessly,

"Alfred, don't say these meaningless things."

"I think it's very interesting. Don't you wonder which one is better, you or that muscle freak with black hair on his chest?"

Bruce: "and
