Chapter 45 Betting on Fishing
In fact, we can understand it this way, the development of business is to constantly tap people's rigid needs and potential needs. If you tap the right needs, it will be a blowout state, and then people who are greedy for money will swarm in and squeeze in.
However, except for those who strike first and those who are smarter, those who follow the trend can only play a supporting role in the end. Even if they get a share of the pie, they will eventually spit it out under the pressure of the strong.
Some followers may be dismissive of this, and may even ask, as long as my product is faster, better, and better than yours, why can't it surpass you?
This question is as boring as those idle animals asking whether a sow can climb a tree.
Can a sow climb a tree? In theory, it is possible, but there must be a prerequisite. The tree must be crooked and tilted at a certain angle, and at the same time, the sow must be given enough stimulation. In this way, the sow has sufficient
With its acceleration and '4-wheel' drive, it's not impossible to climb a tree.
In other words, the idea of following the trend is theoretically feasible, but is it successful?
Let’s take country Z’s football as an example. Every time we reach the final stage of the World Cup qualifiers, there is still a theoretical possibility for the national football team to appear, but when has a miracle actually happened? Not once! A theory is a theory after all.
MD, the national football team is almost the villain of this book.
All in all, in short, Yang Cheng is bound to win Forum Publishing Company.
"Jason, I would like to ask whether the acquisition of Forum Publishing Company is your own intention or Yuanshan's intention." After quickly browsing Yang Cheng's plan, Eddie asked abruptly.
"I personally made a joint acquisition with Yuanshan." Yang Cheng's words undoubtedly seemed like a reassurance to Eddie.
If it were just Yang Cheng's personal acquisition, he might strongly object on behalf of the board of directors and the company. No matter how tempting Yang Cheng's plan was and how wonderful the prospects he described, Eddie could not hand over Forum Publishing Company to a young man easily.
, this is not to despise young people, but that he cannot afford to gamble, or that Forum Publishing Company cannot afford to gamble and cannot withstand the hardship.
However, the entry of Yuanshan has increased the ability of Forum Publishing Company to withstand risks in a disguised manner. At least in a short period of time, the strength of Yuanshan Capital is growing day by day. There is no need to worry about bankruptcy. With Yuanshan's capital as a guarantee, coupled with Yang Cheng's plan
, Forum Publishing Company has the possibility of rising again.
"Jason, please give me some time to think carefully. Can I take this plan with me?" Eddie asked again in a pleading tone.
Yang Cheng could see Eddie's intention, hesitated for a while and finally agreed, but he still solemnly reminded, "Yes, but you have to ensure the confidentiality of this plan. I don't want to see it in my eyes."
Before the acquisition of Forum Publishing Company, there were identical or similar applications on the market."
Eddie nodded repeatedly to express his understanding. He also knew the importance of creativity. Sometimes if you have technology but no good ideas, everything will be in vain. But with creativity, you can find good technology wherever you go.
"Okay, you go back and think about it carefully and give me the answer as soon as possible. Now, let's go fishing and relax." Yang Cheng stood up, twisted left and right, and stretched his muscles.
Eddie handed the plan to his secretary for safekeeping, stood up with Yang Cheng, and joked, "Don't look at me sitting in the office every day. When I was young, I was an expert at fishing. I once hoisted more than 600 kilograms of bluefin tuna.
That’s a big guy.”
It seems that because of the plan, Eddie has some appreciation for Yang Cheng. He talks more casually and even talks about his past glorious deeds.
But Yang Cheng didn't believe it, "Come on, don't be ridiculous, it would be weird if your body wasn't dragged into the sea by a bluefin tuna."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the ship was instantly ignited. Andrew stood in the corner and laughed unscrupulously. It was obvious that he didn't believe it either.
Eddie pretended to be displeased and made two bodybuilding movements. Seeing that Yang Cheng still had that look of disbelief on his face, he immediately challenged him angrily, "How about we make a bet?"
Yang Cheng raised his eyebrows, "What kind of bet?"
"It's about who can catch the heaviest fish. The time is one afternoon. The stakes are..." Eddie said halfway and started to circle around the cabin, as if he was looking for valuable works of art to make bets.
Finally, Eddie stood in front of an oil painting, raised his glasses, and looked at it intently. He pointed at the painting and said to Yang Cheng, "Is this the painting?"
Yang Cheng looked at the old man amusedly, walked over, and stood in front of the painting as well. This was a painting of the Three Graces from Sir Lawrence Armatidema.
In Greek mythology, the three beauties represent the three qualities of charm, elegance and beauty. They are the daughters of Zeus and Eurynome, singers and dancers of the gods, who bring beauty and joy to the world. They are
Aglaia, the goddess of radiance, Thalia, the goddess of encouragement, and Euphrosyne, the goddess of joy.
This oil painting was bought by Liu Yun when she returned to Paris last year to participate in the Sotheby's auction. The transaction volume was about 160,000 US dollars. This is a painting that my mother likes very much. Otherwise, she would not be able to hang it in the yacht center.
You can admire it anytime you pass by. Yang Cheng felt Eddie's aggressive gaze and knew he couldn't refuse. He rolled his eyes, thought, and had an idea.
"Okay, if you win, the painting will be yours, but what if you lose?"
Eddie opened his mouth, wanting to say that if he loses, he loses, and I have no money.
But this is also a bit too shameless. This person, once he is shameless, he will do it a second time. Over time, he will become accustomed to it. Just like a woman, if she opens her legs once, there will be a second time and a third time. As time goes by,
When he got on the boat, he naturally took the initiative to spread his legs. Eddie had always regarded himself as a man of letters and could not be so unrestrained.
"What do you want? Let me tell you first, I have no money."
Yang Cheng was also drunk on this miser. How can you bet without money? People like this must not enter the casino. If they do, they will die.
Fortunately, Yang Cheng didn't want his money. Like the wolf grandma meeting the white rabbit, she put her arm around Eddie's shoulders and seduced him, "Don't worry, I won't gamble. Let's do this. As long as I win, you will be responsible for convincing the board of directors."
How about asking the management to accept my acquisition?"
Eddie shook his head subconsciously, but before he could refuse, Yang Cheng continued, "Don't be impatient, think about it carefully, it's just persuasion, not making you agree, and you can't be the master of those shareholders.
"
Eddie thought along Yang Cheng's train of thought, and it seemed to make sense. He had just been attracted by Yang Cheng's plan, and there was nothing to lose by helping him convince the board of directors. After all, the decision-making power was still in the hands of the major shareholders.
Yang Cheng has finally seen through these literati. On the surface, he is upright and upright, but deep down he is also afraid of pain. The more he reads, the more afraid of death he becomes. Otherwise, why would there be so many traitorous and fat translators during the anti-Japanese war? Of course, he cannot do it all at once.
A pole can overturn a boatload of people. Many of the leaders who founded the country were top students. Let's just say...
Whenever people are slaughtered for their righteousness, most of the people who lose their heart are scholars. This is absolutely true.
Eddie didn't know what kind of stimulation he got. Wasn't it just that he was bragging? As for being so unsettled? He even made a bet with Yang Cheng. He didn't know to investigate his information before coming here. Yang Cheng is a famous sea fishing boy in New York.
The prince has crossed the Atlantic ten times and never missed a beat. Eddie, a Los Angeles amateur, competes with him in fishing, and still wants to win? Is that crazy? You can't even daydream about it.
The two of them made their own plans and went down to the bottom deck and walked towards the stern of the ship. The Emerald had turned on the zero-speed stabilizer and was floating steadily on the sea. Andrew came down in advance and unfolded the extended platform of the side string to the sea. The fishing rod
Bait and other fishing tools are ready.
This is offshore, so fishing for tuna is a no-brainer, and they didn’t apply for a tuna fishing license. They mainly focus on sea bass, salmon, snapper, grouper and other common species in the market.
Sea fishing here all adopts the bottom-sinking fishing method, hanging live small squid as bait, then hanging a lead pendant, and letting the hook set sink to the bottom of the sea.
Yang Cheng was very proficient in this set of actions. He threw out the fishing line and slowly sank with the weight of the lead pendant. He then sat leisurely on the sun lounger, humming a little tune and staring at the distance not far away.
Waiting to catch waterfowl, I asked Andrew to throw some sardines and offal over to feed the little guys first, and then come over to snatch his prey later. There was absolutely no room for loss today.
Eddie next to him had his own idea. He did not use squid as bait, but skewered the offal. Compared with squid, the offal smells more bloody and is easier to attract large fish. If you are lucky, you can catch a small shark.
impossible.
The Emerald stopped here on purpose. The radar detected fish activity nearby, and only then started lowering the rod. Otherwise, you will not be able to catch any fish until you die.
The weather is beautiful today, there is no wind, and the sea is as calm and blue as sapphire. Facing such beautiful scenery, it’s nice to spend the afternoon quietly and leisurely. Even if no fish takes the bait, it’s still good. Fishing is about the process. Whether or not there are fish is not important.
important.
Yang Cheng relaxed, as if he didn't care about gains and losses, but Eddie was much more nervous. He didn't even sit on the chair, he was shaking the fishing rod up and down so that the bait would move in the sea, and he was still muttering something in his mouth.
, probably praying to his kind Lord to give him a fat fish.
"Hey Eddie, relax, you will lose your energy soon. That beauty, please ask our chef to make two Big Mac burgers and send them over. Oh, by the way, there is also cold beer." Yang Cheng
Wearing sunglasses, crossing his legs and feeling comfortable, he told the waitress that there is no food more suitable for fishing than hamburgers.
"Okay sir."
...
When the burger dripping with cheese was delivered, Yang Cheng held up a fishing rod, grabbed the double-decker burger and ate it, not forgetting to take a sip of cold beer. No wonder Allen loves burgers so much, "Comfort, Eddie, come here and try it."
, the chef’s skills are good, the steak is juicy and the tenderness is just right.”
