Blackstone Code Chapter 523: There is only one line between bankruptcy and bankruptcy
"I don't know!"
Villa replied to Lynch's words. She didn't know if she should do what Lynch said, but there seemed to be another layer of meaning hidden in this answer, an answer to other questions.
She was lost and a little overwhelmed.
"Don't think about these unpleasant things for now. If you have time, you can think about it. I won't be staying in Sabine for too long this time. Let's find a place to have something to eat in the evening?"
He raises his wrist and glances at his watch. "Maybe I can wait for you to get off work, while you are just in time for us to chat about those numbers."
Villa spends the next time explaining to Lynch how rich he is now and how much cash he has.
The words cash, money, and wealth are not multiple meanings, they are independent words, and they express completely different content. This is the value of accountants, because ordinary people can't understand them at all.
In the process of introducing these assets, Vila talked about a problem the company is currently facing, "The flow of funds in the second-hand goods auction of Interstellar Trading Co., Ltd. is much slower than before, and the transaction volume is now greatly reduced... "
She felt compelled to talk to Lynch about the situation, which has been happening since the second half of the year.
In addition to those cities that have just started holding second-hand goods auctions, they can also contribute a good amount of money. Some old places, such as Sabine City, have been difficult to push more people to second-hand goods auctions. Crazy snapped up those items.
Even in Richard's capital, sales have been falling in recent months.
This situation cannot be said to be abnormal, it can only be said that the market is beginning to become saturated, and Lynch never thought that this kind of business would last a lifetime.
Second-hand goods trade has a life cycle. It is an industry that "eats both ends". To put it simply, in the initial period of economic downturn, second-hand goods will be favored by people.
The reason is very simple. People's income has begun to decrease, and the money in their pockets is always decreasing, but their consumption desire and mentality have not kept up with the changes in the decrease in money, and their desire to shop. At this time, the second-hand goods auction will be held. The existence of it satisfies their shopping needs and desires.
After a period of economic downturn, people's shopping desire will be unprecedentedly reduced to freezing point, the desire to consume will be defeated by the desire to survive, and cheap second-hand goods will not be able to attract people's shopping desire, and the entire industry will enter a trough .
The other end refers to the initial stage of economic recovery. In the cold economic winter, people have suppressed their shopping desire for a whole "winter" and gradually recover as income increases again. At this time, a rapid consumption heat.
Whatever it is, as long as they think it's right, even if they don't need it, as long as they think it's good, they'll buy it.
That will become a new growth point for second-hand commodity trading, but this period is also short-lived. After this retaliatory consumer psychology is over, second-hand commodity trading will begin to enter a stable period, which can also be said to be new. low tide.
People have money in their pockets, and they are less willing to buy second-hand goods, except for houses, cars, TVs, etc. which are very practical and are necessary for families, but some families can't afford new categories to be popular, others The same will be the same as it is now and it is not selling well.
In addition to the development of science and technology, it is changing with each passing day, and those second-hand goods that have been eliminated are difficult to give away in the end.
Lynch had foreseen it from the beginning, so he took advantage of this wave to make the first real money, and then used this money to quickly complete the most primitive accumulation of capital.
Actually, up to now, it can't be said that these businesses are not profitable, but that they don't make much money. After all, he has no cost, which is why he can make money.
If he employs a lot of employees, then just paying those employees can put him in a huge financial deficit, but he has only partners and no employees.
The second is the transportation and storage issues. He has done basic construction for all of these. He has his own transportation team and his own warehouse area. Although the game of changing the left hand to the right does not look good, the things are still in his pocket. .
On the contrary, the second-hand trading market, which was tepid at the beginning, began to gradually shine. This is also the future trend. This second-hand commodity auction will be replaced by a more flexible free trading market.
Villa and Lynch talked a lot, but in the end, Lynch discovered that the most profitable business on his book was actually his 30% in Fox Films!
Several best-selling works this year plus the "Lynch Adventures 1" and the upcoming "Lynch Adventures 2" based on Lynch's real events, Lynch can reap almost 800,000 yuan from them. income!
This is amazing. In fact, the fact that it is still possible to make such money in a recession has surprised many people, which also explains why capital is shifting to the entertainment and pan-entertainment industries.
"So, how much money do I have now?" After listening to Vera's long speech, Lynch asked a concluding question. He looked at the time, and was almost ready to find a restaurant to share with him. Dinner time.
Villa, who was sitting beside him, was wearing glasses, flipping through the ledger she usually kept in the vault, with a playful look on her face, "I'm sorry to inform you, Mr. Lynch, your personal There's no money in the account, and you owe a lot of money to the bank!"
This answer did not exceed Lynch's expectations, and he also cooperated and exclaimed, "Am I bankrupt, am I so miserable?"
Villa nodded as if it was real, "Sorry, it's real!"
After speaking, the two of them laughed. Vila only had a rough guess about how much money Lynch had. Lynch did not entrust all of her accounts to her. As far as she knew, some overseas accounts Lin Qi had. Qi did not entrust her management, and of course, did not entrust it to others.
And what they are talking about is actually limited to cash, the kind that can be withdrawn from the bank anytime, anywhere. In fact, Lynch is far from "bankrupt", just those bonds he has in the bank are an amazing amount of money. number, so saying it is just a joke, a joke.
"It's almost time, if we leave early, will anyone talk about something?" Lynch stood up, very gentlemanly extending his hand with the back of his hand up.
This job is a job done by men when they help women who need to stand up. The back of the hand is the most gentleman's performance. If it is the palm of the hand, only close people will do that.
After all, there was no feminist movement when this kind of etiquette prevailed, and it was even less likely that anyone would propose heaven and freedom of choice.
"You are really a gentleman!" Without much hesitation, Vila stretched out her hand and pressed the back of Lynch's hand to stand up.
As a woman, getting along with Lynch is a very strange experience. She can feel Lynch's closeness to her all the time, as well as an indescribable, somewhat ambiguous feeling.
But at the same time maintaining a gentleman's style and attitude in the details, which is a bit contradictory, but also very attractive to women.
Lynch retracted his hand with a smile, "I don't do this to everyone."
It's true that this sentence is true, but...it always reminds people of something else, Vera let out a light breath, she walked to the hanger and took off her coat for Lynch, a little uncertain said, "I don't know how I should reject you."
She looked at Lynch, and Lynch didn't show displeasure or anything like what she said, nothing changed from before, "You know, now I'm alone, and the child has grown up, I Divorcing Gap has done him a lot of damage."
"If I don't go back at night, he might get upset, he thinks it's all because of him, and I might abandon him!"
This is a problem of handing over the child to the parents. Before, their child was taken by Gap's mother. The old woman liked the child on the one hand, and gave the couple enough space on the other hand. ~IndoMTL.com~ But what happened after that made their kids think he was abandoned, and sometimes think he and his mother were abandoned because of him.
This is a common psychological problem in single-parent families. There is no good solution. Only when the child grows up and matures, there may be some changes.
"Then take him with me!" Lynch added in a timely manner, "If he is worried about these issues, take him with him."
"Is that okay?" Vila was a little unsure. "Sometimes he's annoying..."
Under Lynch's gaze, Vera finally decided to bring her children to have dinner with Lynch, which made the whole dinner atmosphere a little strange.
It's not dating, it's obvious that no one is dating with kids, even if they do have kids.
Secondly, it's not like a working meal between the subordinates of a company, high-end restaurant, big red carpet, skilled bands and waiters in red vests and black bow ties.
The people around are talking in low voices. This is obviously in the hall, surrounded by other tables and guests, but they are not affected at all.
Only by listening carefully to the surrounding movement can you hear some whispers in the soothing and melodious music.
All of this is carefully designed, the music just covers the chatter of the other guests at the table, you don't need to deliberately lower your voice, normal communication, the music that is not noisy can be kept for people privacy.
Under the leadership of the restaurant manager, the three of them came to a better position. Along the way, Vera's children were looking at Lynch with curious expressions in their eyes.
He seems to be wondering, who is this handsome guy?
