Rebirth: I Became a Financial Tycoon

A heavy hangover sent Li Cheng back to 1999. Facing people who were both familiar and unfamiliar, Li Cheng was indeed excited. "This is time reversal, my youth is back!"

Li Cheng deci...

Chapter 27 Controlling Shareholders

The Jixiang Hotel was the hotel hidden deep in the alley where Yao Hong asked Li Cheng to sign the bill. Although Li Cheng could sign the bill here, he didn't want to have any unexplained affairs with Yao Hong.

So, whenever Li Cheng came back, he would pay for the bill himself. However, the hotel owner gave him a discount - 20% off.

At seven o'clock in the evening, this city on the coast of Bohai Sea was still bustling with activity, but at this time, the advantages of the Jixiang Hotel were apparent. After all, it was located in a small alley, so it was very quiet.

Li Cheng couldn't understand why Yao Hong and President Gao chose to drink at the Jixiang Hotel. He always felt that it was not just because the food here tasted good, nor was it just because it was more secluded.

Only when Li Cheng was waiting for people here today, did he understand that this place could actually calm people's minds.

It’s hard to say why, maybe it’s the retro-style decoration, or the morning glory that covers the entire wall outside the window, or maybe it’s the guzheng music playing in the lobby.

The waiter brought Li Cheng a cup of tea and nodded at him with a smile. Li Cheng smiled at her and then looked out the window.

It was a few minutes before seven o'clock, so Li Cheng decided to wait for the man for five more minutes. When the man didn't show up at seven-thirty-five, Li Cheng decided to leave and no longer have any contact with him.

Li Cheng took a sip of tea and put it down when he heard the door of the lobby ring. He looked up and saw Du Dapeng rushing in.

Seeing Li Chengxu sitting in the hall, Du Dapeng walked over quickly and said, "It's not too late, is it? The chain of my bicycle fell off on the way."

Li Cheng looked at the clock hanging in the hall, and the hour hand was pointing at seven o'clock. Coincidentally, Li Cheng's cell phone rang.

Li Cheng nodded slightly towards Du Dapeng, then took out his cell phone and pointed at it, meaning that he would answer the call first.

When Du Dapeng saw the mobile phone, and it was a digital phone, he looked at Li Cheng with a look of admiration.

In the electronics city, the price of this small Motorola is not low. What's even more expensive is the monthly fee and call charges. Both incoming and outgoing calls cost 50 cents per minute.

However, Du Dapeng found that the number of people buying digital mobile phones has suddenly increased recently. He heard that many of those who bought the phones had made money from stock trading.

Recently, when I am in crowded places, I suddenly hear the ringing of mobile phones. I also see someone deliberately taking out a mobile phone from his pocket in crowded places, and then just saying briefly "I'm not going back for dinner" and hanging up the phone in a hurry.

Every time Du Dapeng saw something like this, he always thought those people were very cool, but in Li Cheng's eyes, this was pure pretense.

Probably due to his different mentality, Li Chenggong seldom uses his mobile phone, and only a very few people know his ten-digit mobile phone number.

Li Cheng lowered his body to answer the phone, trying to use the table to block himself. This way of answering the phone was very strange in Du Dapeng's eyes.

Du Dapeng thought Li Cheng should walk around the hall while answering the phone and speak loudly. Li Cheng's way of answering the phone while hiding from others made Du Dapeng think that Li Cheng was too low-key.

Just as Du Dapeng was complaining about the way Li Cheng answered the phone, Li Cheng had already hung up the phone and sat up straight. Seeing Du Dapeng still standing there stupidly, Li Cheng laughed and said, "Why don't you sit down? Did I call you in the wrong way and startled you?"

Du Dapeng quickly sat down, repeatedly saying "No, no..."

Li Cheng smiled and waved for the waiter to serve the food. At this time, Du Dapeng took out the contract that Li Cheng had left for him and handed it to Li Cheng with both hands. Li Cheng took it and looked at it. Du Dapeng had already signed and stamped it.

Li Cheng nodded and put the contract away. He was already the controlling shareholder of Dapeng Computer, and buying a shareholder for 20,000 yuan was too cheap.

Du Dapeng was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you have all the contracts? In triplicate------"

Li Chengdao: "Oh, I have them all."

Du Dapeng was unwilling to accept this and said, "Shouldn't I have a share?"

Li Cheng shook his head and said, "No, no, no, it's better if I take them all."

Du Dapeng no longer insisted, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it in one gulp.

The two of them didn't talk about anything while eating, they just concentrated on eating.

After they had eaten their fill, Li Chengcai said, "Pack up and leave tomorrow to go to the largest computer company in the country and buy their agency rights."

Du Dapeng glanced at him and said, "Where's the money?"

"Don't worry about the money, just negotiate the price with them."

Du Dapeng nodded, knowing that he had truly found a benefactor. It wasn't like he hadn't thought about acquiring several brands, or even the rights to distribute a particular brand of computers.

He even thought that if he couldn't get the provincial agency, he could get the agency of a prefecture-level city, or at worst, a smaller agency.

But after inquiring, he found out that no matter which level of agency he got, he could not afford the high agency fees.

Li Cheng looked out the window and suddenly said, "You see, Internet cafes are already appearing on the streets. It won't be long before computers are a household necessity. So, not only should you buy the agency rights, but you should also buy the agency rights for one or more processors, memory sticks, power supplies, and other related equipment."

Du Dapeng nodded, then asked, "Do you also know computers?"

Li Cheng snorted and said, "Everyone should know a little about computers in the future."

By the late 1990s, the computer industry had entered an era of both branded and custom-built computers. Li Cheng asked Du Dapeng to acquire the rights to distribute both branded computers and processors, allowing him to have the best of both worlds.

Du Dapeng was already full of admiration for Li Cheng at this time. He didn't expect that this bank clerk in front of him actually knew about things like CPU and memory sticks.

Since the person in front of him is also a smart person, there is no reason for Du Dapeng not to listen.

After the two discussed the specific issues for a while, Li Cheng said to him, "There are many people who are eyeing computers nowadays. If you want to do better than them, you have to provide good after-sales service. As long as the after-sales service is good, it doesn't matter if your products are a little more expensive. In any case, you just need to make Dapeng Computer a name that is mentioned by the computer industry in this city. It means that it is a guarantee of reputation and quality."

Du Dapeng listened very carefully and asked the waiter to bring him a pen and paper to write down his thoughts carefully.

After finishing the discussion, Du Dapeng said that he would go back tonight to pack up and head south early tomorrow morning.

Li Cheng said "OK". To encourage him, Li Cheng said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "As long as you work hard, when you come to eat again at this time next year, I guarantee that you will come in a Santana."

Du Dapeng's eyes widened. This general manager, who only had a bicycle with no sound except the bell, didn't know whether he should believe Li Cheng's words.

However, he had a vague feeling that the man in front of him had helped him onto the horse and even given him a ride.

Santana dare not think about it, having a motorcycle will also do! Du Dapeng thought in his heart.
