Rebirth of India: Superior

Just when Shakru was having a great time playing with all the netizens on Tianya, Mukesh suddenly came to find him. As soon as they met, he shook his head and said: "Hey, little Shakru, I feel you This is getting more and more serious. A while ago, I said I was going on a trip to relax, but I ended up traveling for several months. Now I’m finally back, and I’m spending all day talking about irrelevant things on the Internet. You Let me tell you what you want."

Shakru replied with some embarrassment: "Isn't this boring?" Then he started to counterattack: "Brother Mukesh, don't just talk about me, how is your own Antila building now? I’ve been advising you not to build this building, and you won’t live in it if it’s built. It’s just a waste of money.”

This is not nonsense from Shakru. Mukesh's "Antila" building is really too famous. It is not only named after the mythical island Antila, but also a huge building with a total cost of 1 billion US dollars. It is 173 meters high, which is equivalent to the height of a 60-story building; the total floor area of ​​the entire building reaches 110,000 square meters, exceeding the famous Palace of Versailles in France.

According to the architectural plan, this skyscraper mansion will have a helipad, several open-air gardens, a home cinema covering an entire floor, VIP rooms surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the panoramic view of Mumbai, and a two-story hotel room. Fitness club and a large parking lot covering 6 floors. In September 2008, Mukesh, his mother, wife and three children will move into the "palace" on time. Also staying at the property are Mukesh’s 600 full-time employees and servants, who will be responsible for taking care of the food and daily life of Mukesh’s family of six and arranging various activities.

Later, it was said that due to Feng Shui issues, Mukesh had not lived in the building for a day since it was built, so now Shakru is urging him not to do this futile thing.

But obviously Mukesh did not listen to Shakru on this matter, but he did not want to affect the relationship between the two because of this matter, so he changed the subject and said: "Let's not talk about these trivial matters first, I am here this time I have something serious to ask you. There is a big project recently that has raised 300 million US dollars. How about it? Are you interested in taking a share?"

"Three hundred million US dollars? That's a really big project. What kind of industry is it?" Shakru asked with interest.

"You know s, right?" Mukesh asked without answering.

Shakru nodded and said: "Well, I know, in my impression this is a business platform with a history of several decades." Shakru was not wrong about this. This company provides lists of buyers and sellers in the form of a directory. The business platform has been established for more than 30 years and is the most prestigious business platform in India.

"After works, a subsidiary of verseas, invested nearly 15 million US dollars in getit, getit has now officially launched operations, and acquired diayellowpages and after raising 300 million US dollars. In this regard, getit wants to use the data of small and medium-sized enterprises to establish an e-commerce The platform is called bazaar," Mukesh explained slowly.

Shakru thought about it for a while and realized that this was an e-commerce platform similar to Taobao. It was supposed to be a good opportunity to make a lot of money. After all, there were successful cases of Jack Ma, the richest man in his previous life, but he didn’t know why he always felt that There seemed to be something wrong with this matter, so he hesitated for a long time and then said: "This project looks really good, but I haven't paid attention to the business world for a long time. How about this, give me some time and I will investigate and think about it. How about it?" "

In any case, caution is not a bad thing, so after chatting with Shakru for a while, Mukesh took his leave. After Mukesh left, Shakru immediately mobilized his men to investigate whether this was reliable.

A few days later, the survey results came back. When he saw these survey reports, Shakru immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He was secretly glad that he did not agree on impulse at that time, because there were too many problems in this project.

First, getit integrates millions of unorganized small traders into its platform. These traders have no formal catalog to guarantee, no standard prices and no organized inventory list.

In addition, according to a senior company employee, it is not easy to train and educate these traders on how to use the online marketplace platform. The fact that they cannot get funds in real time is a big problem. These vendors also have no logistics guarantee, so getit has to participate in the freight process, which undoubtedly increases the company's expenses.

Just when Shakru was about to tell Mukesh not to invest in this project, Mukesh hurried over to find him. As soon as they met, he said: "Shakru, I told you a few days ago. You didn’t invest in that project?”

"No, because after investigating, I found that there seems to be something wrong inside..."

Before Shakru could finish speaking, Mukesh interrupted him and said, "Fortunately you didn't invest. I really made a mistake this time. The problems in this project are really too big. Let me tell you." s ran the business of the company, and an email his CFO Bhadra sent to specific employees on August 17 exposed the company's financial difficulties.

The email instructs certain employees to disable delivery and payment options on the company's website. But leaks of the emails sparked panic among employees that the company might be on the verge of bankruptcy.

On the 23rd, the company terminated its contract with recruitment agency innov, which was the outsourcer for the delivery business, but the company's 4,000 employees did not receive any official notice. According to the information collected from the staff, the most recent official notice received by the employees was an email informing them that they only needed to work from home and did not need to report to the company.

The intention of the behavior is now very obvious. If they fire their employees, they must pay severance pay according to the employment contract. This means that there are still 4,000 formal employees, and they have not received any salary since August. "

ps: I recommend a new book "This Heaven is Not Peaceful" by the same author. Although as a new writer, this book has many shortcomings, but I still like the entry point of this book. There are not many people who write about being dressed as the Southern King Feng Yunshan, coming out of the heaven, and developing on their own. You can go and have a look.
