Manhattan Reborn 1978

David came to Stanley's fourth floor.

He saw Black Mike sitting with a beautiful clerk wearing glasses, holding coffee, chatting about something.

Yo ho! ~

Has this big black guy learned how to flirt with beautiful women?

He turned out to be very indifferent to these things.

David shouted: "Hey! Mike, man, come on!~"

Black Mike turned around and saw David waving to him. After saying a few words to the beautiful clerk helplessly, he walked towards David.

He was still mumbling and complaining: "Why are you as annoying as Mike Bai now?! If anything happens, tell me quickly!"

"Haha~ Are you really flirting with a beautiful woman? She looks really good, man, are you calling? Are these things Mike Bai taught you when you were together?"

"Shit! He still wants to teach me those two tricks that Mike Bai knows? Don't mention that bastard again!"

"David, you know, when I saw her walking over to move things just now, it was like God's hand came down. After patting me on the shoulder, he said: Hey, Mike, it's her!"

"I knew right then, I found her, man! I had to catch her!"

David looked at Black Mike and opened his mouth: "Wow~ Man, we've just known each other for a while, are you serious? It's love at first sight? God still cares about you finding a girlfriend?"

"Yep, I'm serious, asshole! Look at her carefully, she's the one I've always wanted to find! She's stunningly beautiful!"

amount. .

Is it so sloppy?

When the two of them talked about this, David took a serious look at the beautiful clerk.

A beautiful clerk, wearing a light-colored professional attire and a long skirt, with glasses on her rosy face, and her golden curly hair hanging around her shoulders.

She is very tall, over 175 by visual inspection, and has a slightly larger frame. From a distance, she looks tall and powerful.

David felt that except for her height, which matched Black Mike well, there was nothing else outstanding about this beauty.

But this bullshit love at first sight scene left him unable to say anything.

"Man, she's beautiful, you're going to get her right?!"

"Of course!"

Black Mike bared his teeth and secretly looked back at the clerk beauty.

The lines on David's forehead were squeezed out, and he pursed his lips and choked.

"Okay, I called you here because I want you to go and see Barlow and Forrest Gump later. They haven't called me yet. Go and ask Forrest Gump what he thinks about Jenny!"

"That's it? It's a small thing! When I get the phone number, I'll go!"

"..."

David gritted his teeth and used his elbow to hit Black Mike's weak spot: "Asshole! She works here, and she won't run away! You go do your business first, and you will have plenty of time to chase her later!"

Black Mike bent over in pain: "okok! Then I will ask her for her phone number when I come back from my work. She can't run away anyway!"

David watched Black Mike trot downstairs, shaking his head towards the conference room.

Damn love~

If it comes, no one can stop it!

in the conference room.

When everyone saw that David was back, they continued to discuss.

The first person to speak was Pine: "The construction of the venture capital company has been initially completed. Now what remains is to formulate the contract details and confirm the project."

"The investment fund company has already started preparatory work, and all personnel and funds will be in place within a week."

David nodded, rummaged through his backpack and found a notebook and opened it.

"For venture capital company projects, I only have a few company profiles in my hand now, and I need more people to help collect information."

"First, there is a company that is already listed on Nasdaq, Intel Corporation."

"Their company was in Santa Clara, California, and Gordon Moore became the second CEO in 1975."

"Moore's Law, proposed by Gordon Moore in 1965, left a very deep impression on me."

"Moore's Law, its main content is that the number of transistors that can be accommodated on an integrated circuit board will double approximately every 18 months."

"Of course, this law is not a law of natural science in our traditional sense. It only reveals the speed of progress of this information processor technology to a certain extent."

Pine nodded and continued: "I know this Gordon Moore, and I also know this Intel company. In 71, they launched the first commercial processor, creating a new pattern for the computer industry, but in 75 they Before Gordon Moore took over in [-], it had been in a state of development trouble."

"Intel is on our primary list."

"This small company has a small number of people and a small business. The low-performance microprocessors they produce are used to fill the low-end market that big companies look down on. In recent years, the industry generally believes that Intel is low-performance and low-end. representative of price.”

"According to the latest information, the actual operator of their company is Gordon Moore's student Grove."

David really didn't know this information: "Then do you know when they are going to launch a new processor?"

"It is said that Intel's latest research is in a very embarrassing situation, with staff leaving and lack of funds. These are the problems they are facing now. So we excluded it from the preliminary list."

"Pine, let's list it as a key assessment and investment project company. We can contact them, or directly ask Moore to come to New York."

"Are you very confident in Intel's latest processor?"

"Of course, man, if their current situation is what you say, then we must invest in it!"

"Intel may be in the darkness before dawn, and our presence will bring them light."

"We want to get as many of its shares as possible without affecting its continued development."

Pine thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Intel's capital is very small. If we can promise to give them more help and resources, I believe their board of directors will welcome us with both hands!"

"Okay, then let's settle this matter for now!"

"Let's talk about the next one!"

"Everyone knows that I mentioned the fair-price store business when the company was first established."

"Actually, the birth and origin of this business, in addition to the reasons we all know about the unsaleable agricultural products and low purchase prices, there is also a news about a company called Fed-Mart in California, which inspired me."

"Fed-Mart is a discount wholesale and retail store."

"Its founder, Saul Price, opened his first store in 1954."

"This store is famous for its low labor, low profits, and low prices."

"By 1975, they had opened 45 stores in California."

"In 1976, Sol Price and his son Robert Price co-founded PriceClub in San Diego."

"They found an old airport warehouse and transformed it into a membership-based warehousing and wholesale store."

"The staff of PriceClub are all veterans who have worked at Fed-Mart for many years. These people form the middle and senior managers of PriceClub."

"This warehouse-style store has no unnecessary decorations and almost no advertising."

"The Los Angeles Times reported twice on Sol Price and PriceClub in June and July of this year."

"PriceClub was established in a location with developed and convenient road transportation. At first, it mainly served some small businesses and stores, but now they have also opened up general personal purchasing services."

Polly thought of something, raised her hand and said: "David, it is a combination of our trading company and a cheap store? Is this the original inspiration for you to propose them?"

"Binggo!"

"That's right, Polly. But we won't be like it."

"PriceClub adopts a membership-based business model, which is fundamentally different from the business model of our affordable store business."

"However, I am still very optimistic about its future development."

"It is completely different from Wal-Mart's retail department store model."

"It will become the most powerful competitor of Walmart's retail business model in the future."

Giles raised his hand and asked: "Since we already know that its business model is very promising, why don't we imitate it and open a new one? PriceClub, which is fully controlled by us!"

David smiled and gave Giles a thumbs up: "Of course we want to open our own store similar to PriceClub. Not only do we want to open it, we also want to open more and better stores than it does!"

Giles' face was full of questions: "Then why should we invest in PriceClub?"

David looked like a thief: "What else can I do? Steal my experience in operations and management!"

"We are all strong in theory, and we say it's okay, but if we really want to build a store similar to PriceClub, Giles, can you do it?"

Giles opened his mouth: "Uh... no!"

David shrugged: "Neither can I! So we can invest in them openly, send people to PriceClub for all-round learning, and then open our own PriceClub a few years later."

"After our own store has developed, we can initiate a merger and acquisition of PriceClub!"

"In this way, maybe ten or 20 years later."

"The merger of the two PriceClubs will create the second largest department store retail mall in the United States."

Polly teased: "This pie of yours is really big and round!"

Pine thought for a while, shook his head and said to Polly: "David's plan is very feasible. If we don't know how to run it, then find a PriceClub as a teacher, invest in it, learn comprehensive experience and knowledge from it, and then start A similar mall.”

"I believe that the PriceClub mall we open in the future will be more successful than Sol Prince's."

Lu Di, a transparent person who had been listening in, raised his hand to signal everyone: "Then is it still necessary for our affordable store to continue opening in the future?"

"After all, we already have our own PriceClub!"

David crossed his hands and supported his chin: "It's very necessary, man! Our original and final purpose of opening a cheap store was never to make money. As long as we keep it self-sufficient, we'll be fine!"

"It doesn't make money? Then why do we open it?"

David kept it secret and gave everyone a smile: "Of course it is to support people! Support our own employees, our own people!"

"Clang clang clang~"

At this time, there was a knock on the door!
