Chapter 259: Carsales Boss Seeking Investment
Chapter 259: Carsales Boss Seeking Investment
The Indian man who was very confident about his country was called Sanjay. He came to Australia when he was in school. His family conditions were average, but his academic performance was excellent.
He climbed to the top step by step with his own abilities, and he was well aware of the rapid development of China.
However, in Sangjie's eyes, those people were just nouveau riche. Relying on policy, in that era, as long as you were bold and a little smart, you could make a lot of money.
As a neighbor of China, India is still a poor country with backward infrastructure, which always makes him feel a little unfair.
As a former colony of the United Kingdom, Indians do not have a high status in the federal country, which is one of the reasons why he has always felt inferior. Now that India has begun to reform and has hope for development, Sanjay naturally praises India whenever he meets someone, so that he can save face.
Although Sangjie immigrated early, his appearance is still very different from the local foreigners, and he is often treated differently, which makes him feel no sense of belonging.
At this time, Sangjie was squinting his eyes and looking at Chen Xi. Among this group of people, Chen Xi was undoubtedly the youngest.
He didn't understand how such a young man could be qualified to come to the yacht and drink with them.
"Sorry, I'm late." A deep male voice sounded, with a hint of apology and embarrassment in the tone.
Chen Xi and others looked in the direction of the voice and saw a fat foreigner of advanced age, dressed in a suit and tie, looking very stylish.
"Come, let me introduce you, this is the founder of Carsales." Sanjay stood up and said to everyone.
"Hello, I'm Norbert, the founder and boss of Carsales." The man walked up and shook hands with them one by one.
Chen Xi and A Lin were slightly stunned, and immediately looked at each other. After seeing A Lin shook his head, Chen Xi knew that Norbert's appearance was probably just an accident.
"Carsales is the largest car trading network in Australia. I didn't expect that a big boss like you would come here." Amos greeted politely.
"No, it's just a website. It's not as powerful as you guys." Norbert explained humbly. Before coming, Sanjay had already briefly explained the industry that these people were engaged in.
Carsales seems to be very famous, but actually its current situation is very bad. Each of these people is richer than him, the boss. His purpose today is to make friends with these people and attract some investment.
As a good friend, Sanjay also wanted to help his friend and wanted to do business with Norbert in partnership.
There were only two Chinese people on the yacht, Chen Xi and A Lin, and Norbert's eyes immediately shifted to them.
During the conversation, he soon learned that Chen Xi was from an investment company, which made Norbert excited.
In his eyes, China's Internet is quite backward, and there is not even a decent car trading website. Carsales is a platform that can attract large investments with just a little deception from the other party. After all, it is now known that Chinese people are rich.
Norbert was in urgent need of funds, and soon he began to promote his website to everyone.
Chen Xi and A Lin are naturally among the future investors in his eyes.
"Let me tell you, our Carsales will not only become the largest automobile trading platform in Turkey and Australia, but also become one of the top platforms in the world." Norbert confidently introduced the product to Chen Xi.
There is nothing wrong with what he said. Carsales will indeed become one of the top five automobile trading platforms in the world in the future, but it has not yet developed.
"Can your car website make money? Investors only look at returns." Chen Xi crossed his legs, hugged Oksana's beautiful body, held a cup in one hand and groped her body with the other hand, looking like a big boss.
Seeing that the boss of Australia's number one automobile website was flattering Chen Xi to get funding, Oksana looked at him differently and she wished she could be Chen Xi's woman right now.
"Yes, we used to advertise for free to our customers, but now we are trying to charge some service fees." Norbert answered with a guilty conscience.
"It shouldn't be going smoothly!"
"I have expanded new business and have communicated with several insurance companies. As long as you buy a car on the platform, you can get a discount on insurance..."
"Oh?"
After hearing the information revealed by Norbert, Chen Xi touched his chin and showed some interest. In fact, he had known this for a long time.
"There are other businesses such as auto finance, after-sales maintenance, etc."
“How many users do you have now?”
"Our website has millions of visitors every month, and we have many offline car dealerships."
“How many employees are there?”
"Well... maybe hundreds of people."
Norbert's words were vague because there were too many people who resigned or worked short-term, and the project was not yet mature. Most of the employees were salesmen who worked with car dealerships to help customers buy cars and received commissions.
Judging from the current salary, many employees have already chosen to leave. Integrating offline car dealerships is a long-term job, and without other things to tie their interests with the car dealership owners, it is difficult to get them to willingly pay service fees.
“What about the user coverage area?”
"It is now slowly starting to be used in Australia's big cities and remote areas."
Norbert was not exaggerating; he was telling the truth.
This is not like doing business in China, where you can just brag and it's all right. If you talk nonsense, don't expect anyone to invest in you next time.
"We'll talk about this later. Let's drink and talk about other things today." Alin handed a glass of wine to Norbert. The three of them clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
The people on the yacht did not have a good impression of Norbert, because the people on the yacht were of different status from him and there was no need to lower themselves to find investors, which made Norbert's status suddenly lower than others.
He also understood this truth, but for the sake of his career, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and swallow his pride.
Businessmen are like this. If they can reach a cooperation and make money, they will lose face.
Seeing that this matter could not be rushed, Norbert could only stop forcing it and planned to go to CAIC to find Chen Xi later.
"Our Tuao health products are very popular now. Recently, the products in the pharmacy have been snapped up. The products that were originally hard to sell are now all sold out. The company has decided to increase production..."
"Now many local residents can't buy medicines. The authorities asked us to restrict sales and each person can only buy a limited amount of medicines with their ID information."
"Isn't this cutting off our source of income? Who cares what he does."
"Let them buy first, then raise the price and limit the quantity. This way, we can continue to sell without violating official regulations."
“Who would buy it if the price is too high?”
"You take medicine, will you stop?"
"Haha, that's true too."
Several people working in the pharmaceutical company were chatting and laughing, and the conversation was very lively.
Chen Xi looked at it and shook his head secretly. In fact, not many local residents buy these health products. The customers are basically Chinese. When the time comes, it will still be those Chinese customers who pay the bill. The purchasing agents and pharmaceutical companies will not care.
After everyone got drunk, the music on the yacht changed to exciting songs and everyone started dancing.
Chen Xi and A Lin also joined them. The bosses who were originally serious now hugged their female partners and started dancing passionately.
Under the influence of alcohol, Chen Xi's eyes gradually met Oksana's.
Her eyes were like deep lake water, sparkling with charming light, which made people fall into it involuntarily. Chen Xi felt an inexplicable impulse in his heart, and he couldn't help but get closer to Oksana.
Their bodies gradually fitted together, swaying gently to the rhythm of the music.
Oksana's skin is silky smooth and exudes a faint fragrance that is intoxicating.
He hugged Oksana's waist tightly, feeling her softness and warmth. Oksana looked up at Chen Xi, her lips curled up slightly, revealing a charming smile.
She put her hands around Chen Xi's neck and hugged him tightly. They danced to their heart's content, as if they were the only two people in the world. Chen Xi's hands also kept wandering inside her arm-wrapped skirt.
The surrounding sounds gradually blurred, leaving only the music and the sound of the waves.
Chen Xi felt like he was in a dream. Oksana kissed his cheek gently, and their actions became more and more passionate.
The brain began to become chaotic and consciousness was trapped in a vague fog.
Every heartbeat was like a drumbeat, beating on his tired nerves and making him feel an indescribable exhaustion.
He tried to concentrate, but found that his thoughts were like a kite with a broken string, drifting unsteadily.
The spiritual strength seemed to be swallowed up by endless darkness, disappearing bit by bit.
Chen Xi struggled hard, trying to find a ray of light, but he only felt his mental strength gradually collapse. His heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness, as if he had fallen into an endless abyss.
Just when he was about to give up, a powerful force suddenly surged from his body.
The power was warm and powerful, like a ray of light illuminating his chaotic brain.
My spirit was instantly restored, I found myself again, and my consciousness became clear.
When I opened my eyes, it was already daybreak.
This is a big bed in the yacht's bedroom. The bedroom door is open and you can see the man and woman lying on the sofa outside.
There were two women beside him, their bodies covered by quilts, their clothes scattered all over the floor. One of them was Oksana, who danced with him last night, and the other was Alin's female companion.
"Awake?" A voice sounded from behind. Alin was leaning on the edge of the bed smoking a cigarette, looking at him with a smirk on his face.
There were two people lying on the ground next to him.
Chen Xi rubbed his eyes and made sure that he was not mistaken, it was Norbert.
There was a woman lying on his fat body.
At this time, Norbert was only wearing a pair of shorts and sleeping like a dead pig, snoring no louder than Yu Dongdong.
"How much did you drink last night?" Chen Xi asked, rubbing his head which felt like it was exploding.
"I can only say that I drank a lot of alcohol."
Alin put out the cigarette and jumped off the bed wearing only his underwear.
Chen Xi looked at Oksana who was still sleeping beside him, and covered her exposed body with a quilt. It must be said that the ghost girl's vagina was really big.
He couldn't remember what happened last night, and he didn't dare to think about it.
He followed Alin's movements and jumped off the bed, found his pants and started putting them on.
"Yesterday, in order to attract investment, Norbert tried his best to get us two drunk. And I didn't expect that Indian guy was so good at drinking. Fortunately, I am better than him." Alin put on his clothes, looked at the few people who had not woken up yet, and waved to Chen Xi.
The two walked out of the bedroom and through the living room. There were fewer people on the boat than last night, so they must have left.
The Indian had disappeared, Amos was sleeping on the toilet, and the most outrageous thing was that Macaulay and Morrie were actually sleeping on the deck.
The sun was already high in the sky and it felt quite warm standing on the deck.
"What did I do last night?"
"I'm asking you! How can I remember?"
"I can't remember, but my underwear is still on."
"Then don't think about it."
Chen Xi felt like he had blacked out, while A-lin kept laughing secretly and tried to hide the truth from him.
Feeling embarrassed, he didn't ask any more questions.
"Let's go! Get something to eat."
"Just leave like that? Don't care about them?"
Chen Xi asked as he looked at the two people sleeping on the deck.
"It's always like this. The two of them like to sleep here."
Alin sighed and stared at the two people on the deck as if they were idiots.
Since the person who brought him here said so, Chen Xi had no choice but to follow Alin off the boat.
The sea breeze blows gently, bringing with it the salty smell of the sea water and the warmth of the sun, making people feel extremely comfortable.
The sea breeze was mixed with the salty taste, which brought back memories of last night's party.
However, this memory was as short-lived as an ocean wave. It only appeared for a moment before quickly receding and disappearing into the endless ocean.
The two found a seat in the seafood restaurant next door.
"How was your conversation with Norbert last night?"
"What? I don't remember anything now."
When Chen Xi was asked by A Lin, he touched his head and tried hard to recall what happened last night.
