Chapter 550 Money
2008 11 Month 11 Day.
In the far east, this day is called Singles' Day.
A full year ahead of the other world.
On this day, the e-commerce platform launched a large-scale price reduction promotion.
But perhaps they are worried that such activities will not receive the desired returns.
Not many merchants are participating.
Even on November 11th.
Many businesses that have signed up to participate in the past have also launched activities.
Of course, many businesses persisted.
The busy day is finally over.
On November 11, the original plan was to report total sales shortly after two o'clock.
However, the huge data still delayed this work until six in the morning.
In half an hour, the Bobcats' home game against the Nuggets, for which CCTV has purchased the broadcast rights, is about to begin.
"Just yesterday, the total sales of all merchants participating in the event exceeded 7400 million!"
"14 times more than usual!"
No unnecessary words.
Just two simple sentences.
Doesn’t this mean that one day’s turnover usually takes half a month of work!
Not many merchants participated this time.
The products only include some clothing and small household appliances.
The original sales of these things are very average, and they are not the kind of products with huge profits.
As early as yesterday during the day.
Countless people are paying attention to this shopping festival.
As it was approaching noon, some shrewd people had already seen some signs.
Some merchants are frantically restocking supplies.
The chairman of the company even called directly and temporarily withheld the goods that were originally going to be sent to the dealers.
You know, this kind of thing would never have happened before.
No chairman dares to risk offending dealers by withholding their goods.
Unless the profits are really huge enough.
It's so lucrative that the chairman doesn't hesitate to offend the dealers.
Now it seems that the chairman of this company is so bold.
It is obvious that people no longer care about dealers or not.
Shopping festivals like this only happen a few times a year, and they won't hesitate to offend all the dealers.
Besides, everyone knows that this is only the first time.
It’s still a shopping festival with not many merchants participating.
This time next year.
A mere 7400 million is probably just a joke.
In a few years, sales of tens of billions, hundreds of billions, or even hundreds of billions may not be a dream.
……
Soon after the manager of the e-commerce platform announced the sales figures with joy.
The competition for them to help CCTV buy the broadcast rights has officially begun.
May 11 local time.
There are 8 nba games in total.
The focus battles are the Nuggets challenging the Bobcats and the Lakers challenging the Mavericks.
CCTV won the broadcast rights of course for the Nuggets to challenge the Bobcats.
At this time, Lonnie Stadium was packed.
And in one of the boxes, a special guest was welcomed.
U.S. President Obama has just been elected and has not yet had time to take office.
In more than two months, it will be his turn to enter the White House.
Some people say that although George W. Bush did a lot of things that people disliked as president, he still accomplished a lot of things.
Especially after the Internet bubble burst, the U.S. economy will have a good growth rate.
Without the subprime mortgage crisis, Obama would have had no chance of being elected this time.
At least not so completely.
However, once Obama became president, he had to accept this mess.
Obama certainly has a package of plans to revive the economy.
But no matter what the plan is, what he needs most now is financial support.
The first thing Obama thinks of is naturally those financial giants on Wall Street.
Unfortunately, the subprime mortgage crisis dealt a heavy blow to Wall Street.
Those financiers went bankrupt and closed their doors.
For the rest, you can sit down with Obama and talk about being brothers and drink coffee together.
Except, when Obama talks about money.
Everyone looked at him as if they were looking at a thief or a fraudster.
There is always only one answer, no money!
Obama also knows the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis on these financiers.
Many people say they have no money, but that may not all be a lie.
But everyone has no money, how is that possible!
This makes Obama very helpless.
Got into trouble in New York.
Fortunately, Obama will not be discouraged all at once.
In the United States, money is not only available in New York.
New York is not the only financial center in the United States.
So, Obama came to Charlotte.
This is the banking center of the United States.
This time, many banks in the United States also went bankrupt.
Charlotte's major banks managed to escape the disaster.
Especially Charlotte Shipping Bank.
It has made huge profits in the subprime loan business for many years.
But before the crisis came, he was safe.
He also successfully sold his last business to New York and loaned money to Wall Street.
Obama needs the banking industry's support now.
Especially the support of Charlotte’s banking industry.
Obama certainly knows that as a Democratic president, he is bound to not be very popular when he comes to Charlotte at this time.
In recent years, Charlotte, or all of North Carolina, has been dominated by the Republican Party.
Of course I don't like him as a Democratic politician.
Moreover, in 2006, it was the Democratic Party that issued an issue in Congress to investigate some well-known local companies in Charlotte, such as Plank New Energy.
Although it ended up being nothing.
But it also makes locals wary of Democratic politicians.
By the way, the person I want to meet this time is the representative of the local banking industry in Charlotte.
Zhou Yao, the majority shareholder of Charlotte Shipping Bank.
It is the Bobcats head coach Zhou Yao who is sitting on the sidelines now, arranging tactics for the players.
He was also the one who had just finished warming up on the court.
Zhou Yao, the player who is about to lead the team into a battle with the Nuggets who come up to challenge.
By the way, he is still Zhou Yao, the boss of Planck New Energy who was investigated before.
"Is this guy too young?"
Obama asked the staff around him.
"If you can get a big shot like Thomas Lonnie, maybe you can achieve the same thing as that little guy at a younger age."
"Besides, that guy got more than just a big shot."
"His father-in-law is Mr. Donald Trump."
"He also has a girlfriend who is from the Hilton family."
"Even his friends are billionaires."
The staff member said seemingly casually.
But Obama could hear a strong sour taste in the words of his staff.
Even with the support of these big people, it is already extraordinary to achieve these achievements at this age.
At the very least, his companies did not suffer any losses in this crisis, and even made a fortune...
