Chapter 809 - Very Important Business Intelligence

Wang Xiaoshuang snorted: "I know, I'll let the third sister talk to her later, and the eldest sister, let her talk to Xiaoxue." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang felt guilty in his heart, and couldn't help but ask such a question: "Xiaoshuang, what do you think...... Do you think I'm a good man?"

Wang Xiaoshuang Bingxue is smart, and when she heard it, she knew that Niu Xiaoqiang meant something. I just heard her smile: "In my opinion, as long as you are good to me, then you are a good man, don't think too much, study hard in the United States, don't delay the right thing." ”

"Well, thank you for your tolerance, I'm doing well in the United States, you don't have to worry. ”

"Yes. ”

The two chatted a few more times before hanging up.

Niu Xiaoqiang looked at his watch and found that it was almost nine o'clock, and he couldn't help but worry: "Why hasn't Karina come back yet?

When she left in the morning, Karina only said that she was going to do some personal business. Niu Xiaoqiang heard that it was a private matter, so he was embarrassed to ask more. Now it seems that the private matter that Karina said should not be so simple, otherwise she would not have delayed it for so long.

Niu Xiaoqiang got up and opened the door, stood at the door and turned his head to look. Coincidentally, not long after he looked around, a car drove up.

The headlights were a little dazzling, Niu Xiaoqiang squinted his eyes and looked at the outline of the body clearly, and was sure that it was the off-road vehicle he bought, so he was relieved.

Karina finally returned, drove the car into the garage, and walked out with several shopping bags.

"Karina, why are you going, why are you so busy so late?"

"I went to my classmate's wedding and bought some new clothes. ”

"I see, did you have dinner?"

"Ate outside. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded and welcomed Kailina into the house. Karina smiled happily as she entered the room: "I got a very important business intelligence at the wedding. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang was curious: "What information?"

Karina put the shopping bag on the coffee table and pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from her handbag: "This is what I secretly recorded, you can see for yourself." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang took the piece of paper and looked at it, and found that the content recorded on it was very messy, and after sorting it out, it was to the effect that a company called Lyme was going to sell the business in Boston, and the price was about three million dollars.

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't know anything about the Lyme Company, and couldn't help asking, "What is this Lyme Company for?"

"This is a company that specializes in sports equipment, with total assets of about $50 million, and they have more than a dozen sporting goods stores and five fitness centers here in Boston, and these assets are worth more than $3.5 million, and as long as we take this order, we can make at least $500,000 from changing hands. ”

This is the business model of the hunter form that Karina is most passionate about, through acquisitions and split sales, in order to reap the benefits of changing hands.

"Are you sure?"

"There must be, in order to negotiate this business, I also went to print the business card, and tomorrow I will go to negotiate with the people of the Lime Company. ”

As she spoke, she opened a tote bag containing two bundles of business cards. Niu Xiaoqiang hesitated: "But we don't have funds in our hands for the time being, so we can't take credit with others, right?"

Karina smiled: "This transaction can be completed without funds, let's go and negotiate the price with the Lime Company first, and then go to the buyer, let the buyer pay this money, and then we can earn the difference from the middle." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang understood as soon as he heard it: "This is equivalent to a white wolf with empty gloves, and the buyer is not a fool, they can go directly to negotiate business with the Lime Company, why do you need to find a middleman?"

Karina explains: " Because the information is not equal, so we have the opportunity to be a middleman, for example, the information I got, this is just a director of the Lyme company casually revealed the news at the wedding, can only be regarded as the other party's internal intentions, the board of directors of the Lyme company has not announced to the public to sell the business in Boston, what I need to do is to move the board of directors of the Lyme company, let them sell the business to us, as long as we sign a contract with them, we are equivalent to having the exclusive agency, other buyers can only buy from us。 ”

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded slightly: "I see, if you think it's feasible, just let it go, of course, you'd better control the risk, in case no buyer is willing to take over, we have to pay for these properties ourselves, which is not good." ”

Karina's MBA is not in vain, she nodded confidently: "Don't worry, if the buyer thinks the price is too high, I will sell it at a lower price appropriately, and it is certain to make money, just make more and earn less." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled: "I didn't expect you to go to your classmate's wedding and get a chance to make money, and it was also an opportunity for a white wolf with empty gloves." ”

Karina laughed, "This should be called luck." ”

After the two chatted for a few words, Niu Xiaoqiang stood up and said, "You have to go out tomorrow to talk about business, so rest early." ”

Karina nodded and entered the house with her shopping bag.

For the next few days, Karina was on a business trip. Lyme is headquartered in New York, where she needs to complete the negotiations.

Niu Xiaoqiang has been staying at home and studying on his own, during which he took the time to go to the school to learn about Professor Watson's progress. Professor Watson has been working overtime, because he stayed up late, his eyes were dark, and he looked very tired.

Niu Xiaoqiang saw that he was working so hard, and couldn't help but persuade him, but Professor Watson told him that there were already many professors of computer science urging him to finish it as soon as possible, so that everyone could see the artificial intelligence robot as soon as possible. In order to take care of these people's feelings, he can only work overtime.

Niu Xiaoqiang was not persuaded again, and returned home after reminding the professor to pay attention to his body.

On October 8, Niu Xiaoqiang and Zhang Xiaolan came to the multi-purpose hall of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology early.

The night before yesterday, he received a call from Professor Watson, in which the professor told him that the press conference of the artificial intelligence project would be officially held today, and Niu Xiaoqiang and Zhang Xiaolan, as participants in the project, should go to the scene to witness the history.

According to Niu Xiaoqiang's agreement with the professor, the main executor of this project is the professor himself, and the names of Niu Xiaoqiang and Zhang Xiaolan will not be released to the public, and there will be no signatures of the two on any official documents.

If an acquaintance who knows the inside story asks, they say that the two are just helping to fight, and they do not involve the core part of the work, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
