Santorini, Greece.

There are countless beautiful white houses, exquisite towns, and traditional Greek windmills that look beautiful against the sun and the sea.

However, it was in such a beautiful place that a murderous burglary occurred the other day.

A wealthy middle-aged man with a U.S. passport was found dead in his garage by a maid who had come up early to work, with his hands and feet tied to an expensive chair and a black plastic bag over his head, dead enough to die.

The house was turned upside down, all valuable small items, such as watches, rings, necklaces, etc., were all taken away, and the young girl who was also lying on the bed also died, and the knife edge on the waist was particularly shocking against the white skin, even a seasoned police detective couldn't help but feel pity at the moment.

Unable to find a passport, or anything to prove his identity, it took two or three days to find a copy of his passport in the name of "Alexander Ford", a native of Colorado, USA, from the information on the purchase of the property in April this year.

The police only regarded it as a burglary, but when the death materials were sent to the U.S. Embassy, and then transmitted to the address registered on the passport as soon as possible, and after questioning the so-called Alexander Ford's parents, they learned that their child had died in a car accident four years earlier, but all the information could match the "Alexander Ford" who had just died in Greece.

After learning the news, the people in the US embassy paid a little attention to it, and notified the FBI and Interpol again, this time someone recognized "Alexander Ford" from the photo, but it was not the Davis House who extorted a huge sum of money from Han Chudong, who was currently lying in the freezer, hard.

This guy did a lot of calculations, but he didn't calculate that after he traded bearer US bonds twice in the black market, he was immediately targeted by someone with a heart, and tracked him all the way to the door of the mansion he bought, and followed the code on the bond, and found that he was the one who cheated 20 million US dollars from Han Chudong.

Such a large sum of money, all of which were black money, naturally aroused greed, and Davis House only exchanged more than four million dollars for daily squandering, and the remaining bonds were not found and are still missing.

When Han Chudong learned the news from the FBI high-level officials, he didn't care about the life or death of that guy at all, but was very happy.

The only pity is that the remaining bonds are estimated to have fallen into the hands of some people, and it is difficult to get them back, because if Davis House did not hand over the money, the gangsters would definitely not be willing to let him die.

Knowing that the possibility of recovery is relatively small, Han Chudong still asked a friend to contact the high-level of the Greek side and asked someone to help him investigate deeply, the murderous house, as well as luxury cars, yachts, etc., will definitely belong to Han Chudong, so he can make up for some losses a little.

……

I met some friends I knew and didn't know in New York.

The focus of the discussion is nothing more than the listing plan of Baofeng Electric and the fundraising plan of Mason Private Equity Fund, and the rest is chatting and talking about big and small things.

Han Chudong knows more and more people, and his circle is growing, it can't be said that he is the focus and core figure wherever he goes, at least no one treats him as an ordinary twenty-one-year-old young man anymore, and he has enough capital to integrate into various social situations.

Stay at the InterContinental Hotel in Manhattan for a night's rest, go to the NASDAQ stock exchange office the next morning, deal with some questions about the listing, and then take a helicopter to the airport to start this European tour.

The French mansion under the name of Château Cheval Cheval is a bit far from the city of Paris, almost eight kilometers, but the environment is very nice and the garden is well kept.

The servants had already heard the news that the house had changed owners, and they thought that there was a house like this, and they should think it was very precious, but Han Chudong came over after a long time, and he only planned to stay for two nights, and he didn't even have much heart to visit the rooms, so he was extremely calm.

After asking about the previous things and not taking them away, he stayed with Kiko Mochizuki and the bodyguard assistants, took the time to go shopping at the Place de la Concorde, and also visited the headquarters of YSL for a while, passed by the Eiffe Tower many times, and had dinner on the tower in the evening, accompanied by Ms. Hermès and Mr. Maurizio Gucci, who came all the way to Mr. Yves Saint Laurent, and Mr. Yves Saint Laurent, the founder of YSL.

With a side view of Paris at night, the pan-fried foie gras on a plate exudes a charming aroma, and a special trip to order a bottle of fine wine from Château Romanée Conti, if not so many Southeast Asian riches, this winery has not yet become famous, and the price of red wine is also decent, due to the scarcity of production, the price is almost the same as that of Cheval Blanc's red wine, and sometimes it can be slightly higher.

Han Chudong wiped his mouth at this moment and said:

"How many times does a product need to go through a price increase during the period? On the side of our manufacturers, there are raw materials, taxes, operations, profits, dealers have inventory, operation, warehouse, taxes, freight, store costs, and also profits, and terminal stores have inventory, freight, marketing, labor expenses and other costs.

What I mean by this is that instead of handing over a lot of profits to agents, it is better to produce and sell your own products, take most of the profits into your own hands, and at the same time purchase some materials of the same quality, or even better, to produce in places that are more efficient and have lower labor costs. And then I use the profits to expand and streamline the whole process from production to sale, and that's what I'm trying to do with the new factories in Asia, where companies in Europe are spending too much of their taxes and revenues on their workers. ”

Just now, Mr. Maurizio Gucci raised concerns that he was afraid that the quality of the products produced in the new factory that was about to be put into operation would not be as good as the old factory, so Han Chudong said this.

Next to him, Yves Saint Laurent of YSL, who single-handedly founded the company and sold the vast majority of his shares to the Mason Associates Group, is more like a traditional businessman than a designer, and appreciates Han Chudong's ideas about corporate reform.

Helper said:

"The main reason why European companies are overwhelmed by American companies is that American businessmen value profits very much, while our European companies, especially French companies, spend a lot of profits on making workers live a good life, and high wages do not bring high returns, but make them lazy, and they are ready to leave work from the first moment of work, which is extremely inefficient.

I am in favor of making changes to YSL to cut down on unnecessary expenses, and if the company can accumulate more profits, I believe it will be able to grow better. Since Mason bought us and changed our domicile to Puerto Rico, last year we reduced our taxes by at least six million francs, which is equivalent to an increase in profits per item by ......."
