<strong>Chapter 260 – Need Financing?</strong>


    “Yesterday, you went to Hong Kong, how did the discussions with the people from Tianxiang and Liujin Suiyue go?” Fu Jun asked the two department heads of his supplier department during the morning meeting.


    Aftermunicating with Yang Yist time, Fu Jun set aside his past achievements and once again immersed himself in the rapidly changing wave of the Inte. Expanding new sales channels for the record industry was a big challenge. Fu Jun not only sent out his capable subordinates, but also personally dealt with various recordpanies and distributors.


    “Tianxiang’s Mao Su’s attitude was average, but their General Manager Hu said he hoped to talk to you in person, Brother Jun. I think there is still a glimmer of hope.”


    “Liujin Suiyue’s Cui Zong basically agreed to our terms, but…” The person in charge of the negotiations with Liujin Suiyue hesitated and said, “Cui Zong also asked one thing. They are quite optimistic about Sahara’s development and asked if Brother Jun need financing.”


    Fu Jun furrowed his brow slightly. Although he didn’t need financing at the moment because Sahara’s profitability seemed good so far, Fu Jun still needed to think carefully about this issue.


    The development of Sahara Online Shop was at its golden period, with a fast-track development speed. With the recentunch of online banking,petitors had not yet noticed this piece of cake, allowing for smooth development.


    However, if they didn’t seize this opportunity to quickly seize market share and establish apetitive advantage, oncepetitors caught on, Sahara Online Shop might get caught up in intensepetition and not have the energy to expand!


    Obviously, the current development speed of Sahara was not fast enough, and this speed was also limited by the investment of funds.


    The inte industry was a world where thepetition was based on the speed of burning money…


    However, if financing was involved, Fu Jun needed to consider whether the remaining shares in his hands were still sufficient for him to maintain control of thepany.


    He was currently holding 51%, it was an awkward figure. If he had more shares in his hands, Fu Jun would definitely not hesitate to take out some for financing.


    In the past, he sold 49% of the shares for 5 million to Yang Yi, and now it seemed like a deal that brought him significant losses!


    Of course, Fu Jun was still very clear headed and not blinded by money. He also deeply understood that if it weren’t for Yang Yi pointing out these paths to him, his original Sahara Online Bookstore would still be in its half-dead state…


    “Alright, I know about this matter. I’ll discuss it with General Manager Yangter.” Fu Jun said, ” Also, please arrange a meeting with General Manager Hu of Tianxiang for me on Friday. I’ll go to Hong Kong to meet with General Manager Hu.”


    “Yes!” His subordinates nodded crisply, then promptly packed up their notebooks and left.


    Sahara has taken the fastne, and everyone had to pull themselves together and keep up with thepany’s pace of development. Otherwise, if thepany expanded in the future and they couldn’t meet the requirements, Fu Jun would be determined to hire executives from outside.


    However, Fu Jun, on the contrary, had some free time. He eagerly opened hisptop and logged onto Weibo, and started browsing.


    Since Yang Yi introduced this thing to himst time, Fu Jun has not only promoted it within thepany but also promoted it to some big customers. He himself has also be obsessed with Weibo.


    Although the current Weibo didn’t have a lot of content or any particrly fun features, just being able to see the status of the people one followed has made Fu Jun and many other white-cor workers who spent their days in front ofputers addicted to it.


    On one hand, it was because using Weibo could kill some of their boring spare time at work, and on the other hand, it also satisfied their somewhat “abnormal” desire to peek on others’ lives.


    Seeing what others were up to, seeing their state for the day, were they dining out? Were they ving away at the keyboard? Or did they encounter some strange person who wouldn’t even give them 100 yuan?


    “Peeking” at these things on theputer was just like gossiping, it could be addictive!


    Fu Jun just thought of Yang Yi, so he clicked on the profile of “The Chef from the Xixi Family” among the people he followed. He opened Yang Yi’s page to see what interesting things his daughter had at kindergarten today or what delicious food he made. Yang Yi’s Weibo usually revolved around these contents, aplete obsession with his daughter.


    His secretary saw that he was still ying there and came over to refill his tea.


    “Xiao Hong, hey, let me ask you a question. Do you usually y with Weibo?” Fu Jun suddenly spoke, startling the secretary.


    “Yes, Boss. After you rmended it, I registered and started using it.” The secretary quickly replied.


    But after saying that, she became nervous, afraid that Fu Jun would want to follow each other’s Weibo. There were still somementsining about her boss that she hadn’t deleted yet!


    However, fortunately, Fu Jun didn’t have this idea. He understood the principles of being a boss well and didn’t integrate too much into the circle of his subordinates, giving them some space.


    “So, tell me, what makes Weibo fun?” Fu Jun eagerly took out a voucher from his pocket that a customer had given him and said, “Come up with something new and interesting. If you exin it well, your boss will reward you with a seafood buffet!”


    The secretary perked up and thought carefully for a moment before saying, “I think this Weibo is actually simr to a blog, but what makes it more fun than a blog is the character limit! When we post a Weibo, it’s simr to sending a short message.”


    “Hmm, continue,” Fu Jun nodded thoughtfully.


    “After all, we’re not writers. No one can write long articles to post on a blog regrly. And like my own blog, I haven’t opened it once throughout the year, let alone write. Seeing those lengthy articles gives me a headache,” the secretary said, embarrassedly sticking out her tongue and adding, “Of course, Boss, I’m not saying I can’t read your n…”


    Fu Jun waved his hand, not minding it.


    “I really don’t like blogs, but Weibo is much better. Sometimes you can just write a few sentences and post them. There’s no need to worry about the length or literary style. It’s like being able to express whatever is on your heart. Anyway, I think my friends around me like it very much after I rmended them to use it.” the secretary said.


    “That’s very good, very observant. Go on, go enjoy the meal!” Fu Jun smiled and handed her the voucher.


    The benefits mentioned by the secretary were indeed something Fu Jun hadn’t considered before. He had only thought about the advantages from a consumer’s perspective1and hadn’t realized there were so many advantages from a writer’s point of view as well.


    “Now, the number of Weibo users is not that high, but the growth rate is impressive!” After sending off the happy secretary, Fu Jun pondered quietly, “If there are enough users and sufficient user engagement, advertising on Weibo would be a great choice!”


    Indeed, the development potential of Weibo was also great!
