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 46: Great Peng Spreads Its Wings

Li Cheng had done his homework. Before meeting Mr. Yang, Li Cheng used the Internet to check the computer of Mr. Yang's agent and found out that there was no agent in the East China region, and he also checked the data.

Of course, there were some things Li Cheng hadn't found. For example, the sales figures for other brands of computers. But he could make that up.

Just like that, this mixed bag of data ended up in Mr. Yang's hands. Who could say this report wasn't real? If it couldn't be found online, how could anyone find it?

Mr. Yang picked up the paper again and began to read it carefully. He was thinking deeply as he read.

Li Cheng didn't bother him, just sipping his coffee. Meng Jianghong and the assistant sat nearby, also watching quietly.

After finishing a cup of coffee, Mr. Yang finally put down the paper in his hand, and stretched out a hand towards Li Cheng, "Mr. Li, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

Li Cheng shook the hand and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Yang. We will definitely have a pleasant cooperation and it will be a win-win for all three parties."

Meng Jianghong and the assistant, who had been sitting nearby and looking over at them, both smiled. They stood up at the same time and extended their hands to each other.

The deal was settled. The next step was to sign the contract and take care of the actual operations.

At this time, Meng Jianghong helped Li Cheng a lot again. She and General Manager Yang's assistant were busy running around printing contracts, discussing terms, arranging signing ceremonies and other matters.

At noon, Mr. Yang insisted on treating everyone. Li Cheng knew that he was afraid of drinking, so he helped him choose the Western restaurant in the hotel.

The next morning, which happened to be Sunday, the signing ceremony was officially held.

To be honest, the ceremony was simple, and the host was Weng Xiaozhu. After Li Cheng and General Manager Yang signed, Meng Jianghong opened a bottle of red wine and poured a glass of wine for everyone present.

"I wish you a happy cooperation and I wish both CEOs prosperity. Cheers!"

After saying that, Weng Xiaozhu was the first to raise her glass.

The contract was signed smoothly, and Li Cheng finally won the agency rights for six provinces and one city in East China. The price was 6.1 million, which was slightly lower than the 10% discount mentioned by Mr. Yang.

However, the contract stipulated that Mr. Yang would not be responsible for after-sales service. He was only responsible for initial training, and after the trained technicians returned, Mr. Yang would only be responsible for supplying the goods.

Weng Xiaozhu and Meng Jianghong were both very worried about this agency contract. Li Cheng just smiled and didn't explain too much to them.

Li Cheng knew that the Internet age had arrived and many universities now had computer departments. Repairing computers would no longer be something high-end and classy.

However, Mr. Yang, by handing over the after-sales service to Li Cheng, actually lost the opportunity for his own company to establish a good reputation in the market.

For businessmen, reputation comes first.

Li Cheng didn't have Mr. Yang's deep pockets to secure the Chinese distribution rights for a computer giant. But he could build a reputation for superior service, helping Dapeng Computer Company rise to prominence. Li Cheng felt this was the biggest benefit of the negotiation.

In the evening, Du Dapeng called and said that although he did not use one million to obtain the agency rights of another brand of computers, the other party gave him an extra CPU and the agency rights of memory sticks.

After hanging up the phone, Li Cheng knew that he had to raise funds again.

This time, Li Cheng couldn't go after his colleagues. Although they might invest in him again, he knew that this would easily lead to misunderstandings and suspicions about his ulterior motives in raising funds.

After all, the stock market is still thriving, and those colleagues still want to use some of their spare money to play in the stock market.

The contract stipulated that Li Cheng was to deposit the agency fee into Yang's company account within seven days. However, Li Cheng only had 4.2 million yuan, and he still had to pay Du Dapeng 100,000 yuan. This left Li Cheng with a shortfall of 2 million yuan.

Meng Jianghong knew Li Cheng's financial situation. Seeing the gap of two million, Meng Jianghong asked Li Cheng if he needed help.

Li Cheng shook his head, looking confident. Seeing him like this, and thinking about the many ways Li Cheng could come up with, Meng Jianghong stopped worrying about him.

When Weng Xiaozhu learned that Li Cheng was short of money, she found him privately and said that she could invest the two million.

Li Cheng flatly rejected her, saying that she was just taking advantage of a ready-made opportunity. Weng Xiaozhu knew that Li Cheng had guessed her thoughts, so she smiled and gave up.

After all, investing in your Weng Xiaozhu at this time is both economical and cheap.

Dapeng Computer Company has now obtained the agency rights for that brand of computers, and in the East China region. Anyone with common sense will know what this means.

Although Dapeng Company ostensibly consisted of only two people, and the investors were Li Cheng and Du Dapeng, don't forget that Li Cheng's funds were all raised from the branch's employees. He might call it a loan now, but later on, if he feels like it, he might make them shareholders.

Li Cheng relied on these people in the branch to get started, so naturally he would have to repay them in the future. At this time, Weng Xiaozhu's investment of 2 million would affect Li Cheng's subsequent operations.

Li Hui had once told him that Weng Xiaozhu's money should be used if it could be avoided. But after all, there was a funding gap of two million. Would Li Cheng go to Li Hui?

The capital cost in Li Hui's hands is too high, which is not suitable for a start-up company like Li Cheng, so Li Cheng will not look for him.

Li Cheng was looking for the branch where he worked. As a financial professional, he believed that a loan was the best solution.

It was impossible to get a loan before. Dapeng Computer Company was just an empty shell, and Li Cheng couldn't get a loan with such an empty shell.

Things are different now. There are millions of funds in the account of Dapeng Computer Company. He also has the agency contract in the hands of the legal person Du Dapeng, as well as authorization letters from two well-known computer companies.

With these things, if you can't borrow money from the bank, then the bank can go bankrupt.

Three days later, Du Dapeng returned. When he met Li Cheng, he excitedly told him about his negotiations with others and how he had helped them get the agency rights for some computer parts.

Li Cheng just listened quietly until Du Dapeng said enough and took a gulp of tea. Then Li Cheng put the agency contract signed with General Manager Yang in front of him.

When Du Dapeng saw the company, the brand, and the region represented on the contract, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

He looked at Li Cheng, and before he could say anything, Li Cheng said, "Dapeng, you can spread your wings and fly..."

Du Dapeng was so happy that he almost went crazy. As a computer genius, he understood what this meant and knew that his future had begun.

Without saying a word, Du Dapeng protected Li Cheng and took a bite. Li Cheng was caught off guard by his attack and quickly pushed him away and said, "You are so happy, aren't you?"

Du Dapeng said with a smile: "It would be weird if he wasn't happy and crazy!"

Li Cheng shook his head and said, "You should quickly do a few things. The first thing is to set up the company first..."
