Since Dean Morgan and Li Fuzhen went to Nanshan together, the contact between the two has become more and more frequent, and the number of meetings has become more and more, Dean Morgan likes Li Fuzhen for being gentle, considerate, kind, delicate and unpretentious. Li Fuzhen also likes Dean Morgan's unique temperament, he can be meticulous when he is serious, and he can become very funny when he is humorous, without the hypocrisy of the children of a big family, he is very sincere, and the most important thing is that the spirit of the two is highly consistent, so a small affection is unconsciously planted in the contact between the two!

"How does this self-operated store look?"

"When I first heard that IBM was going to pay $20 million to build a self-operated store in Seoul, I thought it was crazy, but now it looks like the person proposing this policy must be a business genius. ”

Outside the IBM Seoul store, Dean Morgan and Li Fuzhen looked at the store and chatted.

"How?"

"I think the reason why IBM has come back from the dead, and mobile phones and computers have become popular products, is due to its high-end brand attributes, technological innovation and software and hardware integration ecology. The addition of directly operated stores will help IBM build a soft power in brand culture, increase brand premium, enhance customer experience, and make the brand full of staying power.

Today, more than 10,000 customers visit IBM stores in Seoul every day, which means that 3 million people can experience IBM's brand culture every year.

Moreover, IBM's direct stores are all prime locations, and IBM can turn some of the funds into real estate investment by opening these direct stores, which not only reduces taxes, but also uses the price increase on the land to offset the currency depreciation caused by inflation.

From these points, the $20 million is worth it!

However, once IBM's sales decline, these directly-operated stores are likely to become a heavy burden on IBM. However, I believe that these directly-operated stores have already created a great rate of return for IBM before they become a burden, and when the time comes, it will be good to directly monetize and invest this huge amount of money in other places to continue to create value.

That's why I say that the person who made this policy must have been a business genius. ”

"Looks like you've learned a lot from your father's side!"

Dean Morgan clapped his hands with a smile on his face, Li Fuzhen's analysis is completely correct, just the tax exemption, the direct store can exempt IBM from more than a billion dollars in taxes every year. The amount of investment is not taxed, and most of IBM's annual turnover is invested in directly operated stores, and a small part is invested in research and development, so although IBM makes a lot of money now, it pays very little in taxes, because the money is hidden in directly operated stores in various places.

"That's it!"

Li Fuzhen held her little head proudly, and she was still very happy to hear Dean Morgan praise her.

"Can you figure out IBM's next move?"

"Well, I can't analyze it. ”

Li Fuzhen shook her head, she once fantasized about being the president of IBM, and then tried to formulate the future development of IBM, but did not work it out, or in the end, the solution was to keep it as it was.

"So what's IBM's next move?" asked Li Fuzhen.

"I don't know, but you can ask my brother when you go to Morgan's house. ”

"To Morgan's?"

"I'm going to invite you to Morgan's house for Christmas. ”

Is this to meet the parents?

Li Fuzhen's fair face suddenly turned red, he didn't expect Dean Morgan to be so direct.

Dean Morgan thinks that everyone is an adult, and since they are interested in each other, they should be neat.

"I like you, I feel comfortable with you, so I want to take you back to the United States to meet my family. ”

"Isn't that going to be too fast? We've only known each other for a little over a month. ”

Li Fuzhen lowered his head and said in a voice like a mosquito.

"yes, we've known each other for over a month, and I think our relationship should go one step further!

In the end, Li Fuzhen left with a red face, and Dean Morgan stood there with a smile like a fool.

In the car, Li Fuzhen remembered the way she had just nodded, her fair face continued to be flushed, after more than a month of getting along, in fact, she had already accepted Dean Morgan in her heart, but everyone had not picked it out, and now it was finally picked out by Dean Morgan.

The security guard Ren Youzai, who was sitting in the front seat of the car, saw Li Fuzhen with a red face and sweet eyes in the rearview mirror, and felt a little uncomfortable and angry, when there was no Dean Morgan some time ago, Li Fuzhen was good to him, the relationship between the two was very good, and it seemed that he could develop as a couple, and now Li Fuzhen looked at him with a calm look in his eyes, and he didn't feel like before at all, which made him feel that Dean Morgan had snatched something that belonged to him.

After sending Li Fuzhen home, Ren Youzai, who was in an uncomfortable mood, came to the garden to smoke a cigarette, thinking about how to attract Li Fuzhen back in his head, he knew that if Dean Morgan continued to stay by Li Fuzhen's side, he might never have a chance, so a ruthless energy rose in his heart, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it, and plucked up the courage to go to the chairman Lee Kun-hee to report it.

He thinks that as long as he tells Lee Kun-hee that Lee Fu-jin has been very close to an American recently, the more traditional Lee Kun-hee will definitely not let Lee Fu-jin associate with a foreign devil, and then Lee Fu-jin will be able to return to him.

"I'm looking for something about the president!"

Coming to the outside of Lee Kun-hee's study, Ren Youzai looked at the secretary and said.

"Wait here, I'll report. ”

The secretary saw that it was Li Fuzhen's security guard, and after dropping a sentence, he knocked lightly on the door a few times and walked into the study to report, and after coming out not long after, he brought Ren Youzai into the study.

"President!"

"What are you looking for me?"

Lee Kun-hee behind the desk looked at the documents in his hand and didn't look up, if Ren Youjae wasn't the one in charge of his daughter's safety, he would definitely not take the time to meet a security guard.

Ren Youzai took a breath and plucked up the courage to look at Lee Kun-hee and said. "President, I feel there are some things I need to tell you. ”

"What's the matter? about my daughter?"

"Yes, recently Miss and an American have been very close. ”

"I see!"

Ren Youjae looked at Lee Kun-hee's indifferent attitude and was a little dumbfounded.

"President, I think this American approaching Miss must have a bad intention, we must be careful, at least not let him succeed. ”

"Okay, I see, is there anything else?"

Lee Kun-hee's attitude was still untempered, and he didn't even raise his head.

"No... It's all right, President. ”

Ren Youjae was disappointed, and Lee Kun-hee was not as angry as he imagined, and ordered Lee Bo-jin not to see Dean Morgan in the future.

"Then get out!"

"Yes, President!"

Ren Youzai bowed, and turned away unwillingly.

After Ren Youzai left, Li Kunxi called the secretary in and asked the secretary to inform Li Fuzhen to come to the study, he didn't care about Li Fuzhen, but in front of his subordinates, he would not easily express his opinion on his daughter, this is a family matter, and Li Fuzhen and Dean Morgan's dealings, where can he hide it!
