I Am A Trilionaire - Chapter 18
After making a determined effort, Nicholas’ website is ready to sell music cassettes to taste the sweetness of profit. The film company makes a lot of money from the Nicholas website. As a result, Geely Hutt arranged for his workforce to go to various record companies to discuss cooperation, meanwhile, Nicholas.com would build four large warehouses throughout the United States and establish its own logistics company.
However, this must be done slowly, and cannot be done at once.
First, the first warehouse is located on the outskirts of Los Angeles, covering 100,000 square meters, costs 10 million US dollars to buy land, and secondly, the construction is expected to be completed in 1990. It’s not as simple as building a warehouse, which contains all kinds of high technology, mechanization, automation and systemization. This is a very big project!
The logistics company currently working with Nicholas.com is FedEx. As an e-commerce giant, having your own logistics company can be better for escorting the company! ! !
Regarding the formation of logistics companies, it is not public.
Nicholas.com and FedEx work well together. If they find out that Nicholas.com has formed a relationship logistics company, it will be deadlocked. Moreover, due to capital and scale constraints, Nicholas Logistics can only operate in California, and its scope is not extensive in the United States. Today, FedEx has become an international logistics company with a global business scope, which is very impressive!
Nicholas’ website spent money like water, and Henry looked depressed.
But now this is a big loss in the exchange of performance to stabilize the position of e-commerce giant. A website similar to Nicholas in the United States has been established. If Nicholas does not fight very hard there is a high chance he will be eliminated. One wrong step will lose the game. The “Matthew effect” is most clearly reflected on the Internet, the stronger the stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker! ! !
For example, if WhatsApp is strong, other chatting software will be quiet for users, no matter how they catch up.
Alibaba from China for example! ! !
If Nicholas’s website stops and doesn’t get stronger, it will be surpassed, then it will be left behind, and even collapse!
Nicholas had more and more businesses, and Henry had more and more companies, and Henry felt a little too busy. Gilly Hutt suggested he hire a secretary. Henry thought about it and thought it made sense. As a result, a female secretary was recruited from outside on behalf of the Nicholas Group. Don’t protest why it has to be a female secretary.
Even though Nicholas Group is not a large company, it is well-known on the Internet, and the salary is very good, with a monthly salary of 10,000 US dollars, which is a senior white-collar treatment. After the news was posted, many participated. The company directly arranges interviews, and Henry also acts as chief examiner.
There were all kinds of people who came, including new graduates and corporate elites, but after the interview. The secretary not only needs to stand out, but also must look comfortable. There are many female applicants from Harvard University, Stanford University, MIT, etc., Even though they are very talented, they graduate in the first year.
Henry has little concern about the appearance of his secretary.
At noon, Henry goes to eat Asian food. After leaving the company, a girl rushed over in a hurry and accidentally crashed into Henry.
“Sorry, I’m sorry !!!” The girl panicked and bowed to apologize.
The poster in the girl’s hand fell to the ground, and Henry glanced at her, it was her advertisement to find a female secretary. Henry asks: “You are here to apply.”
“Yes …” the girl said shyly, “Sorry, I’m too rushed now because I want to catch up with the job market, I’m very sorry!”
“Oh, the job fair in the morning is over. It’s lunch time, and the job fair in the afternoon won’t start until two.”
“Oh, thank you, I don’t think I can follow him!” The girl patted her chest nervously and thanked Henry.
“It’s okay …” Henry nodded and passed.
After Henry had lunch, he returned to the company. In the lobby, he saw the young girl sitting alone in a corner, holding a resume, her expression very nervous. Henry thought for a while and walked toward him.
“Have you had lunch?” Henry asked.
The girl looked up, and it turns out it was the boy she had just hit: “No, I’m not hungry now.”
“Are you nervous now?”
“Yes, this is my first interview.”
Henry looked at him carefully. Judging from her clothes, it was clear that she was a poor woman. She wore very dirty, old and obviously unsightly clothes, which made it very difficult to stand out from a distance with no trace of brilliance at all. But when I looked closely, I saw that the girl had white skin like snow and her appearance was beautiful, but what made Henry very suspicious was that this girl might be under 16 years old. Maybe you haven’t graduated from high school, how can you come for an interview?
This interview is very high, and the non-commercial elite can’t do it!
Henry asks his doubts, “You don’t seem to be 16 years old? Why come for an interview?”
“I, I … will be 16 years old next month.” The girl answered it.
“This job fair is recruiting social elites, all college graduates from prestigious schools. I mean, how come you came to this job fair?”
“Because the salary is very high !!!” the girl said firmly, “I need money now, so I still have to try it!”
Henry is rather curious. The girl was nervous before, but now she was determined. He could not help asking, “Why do you need money?”
“I …” The girl suddenly choked and stopped talking!
Henry was surprised for a moment. It seemed that the girl was speechless.
“Mind if I see your resume?” Henry asked.
“Oh, yes, no problem.” The girl turned in her resume.
Henry opens his resume and sees it.
Uh she got a perfect score on the SAT and participated in the National Math Olympiad, and got first place. After that, she received an acceptance letter from Harvard University.
“Why don’t you go to Harvard University?”
The girl pursed her mouth, hesitated, and finally said the truth: “My mother is sick, I have to look after her at home so …”
Okay, I understand. When Henry looked at her, he felt emotional, she left Harvard University, which was everyone’s dream, and decided to go home and take care of his mother. Kindness like this impressed Henry. When the girl said that she needed a lot of money, and it was not difficult to guess that she needed money to care for her mother. Henry felt a little sympathetic to him, and finally said to him: “God will help good people, and hope your mother gets better!”
