The festival will always pass.

It's a bit painful for the employees, saying it's a three-day holiday, but in fact, two days are supposed to be holidays.

Han Chudong is very happy because the companies can resume normal operations again.

In the past, Han Chudong also longed for holidays, but recently he has gradually begun to forget their importance, after all, he is the kind of boss who gives himself a holiday anytime and anywhere as long as he is tired, and does not need to clock in and go to work.

......

For the whole month of September, nothing major happened.

Baofeng Electric has opened one after another, trying to develop in the direction of self-production and self-sale, four-wheel drive racing is still the hottest toy on the market, and it has been popular in Europe and Asia.

The development momentum of rainbow beauty has been suppressed, the sales of luxury goods have increased, and spending money on advertising has had a certain effect, and recently it is desperately contacting those film manufacturers for advertising placement, so that those "upper class" in the movie use the products of Gucci, Hermes, YSL and other companies, and the cosmetics are rainbow beauty.

At the end of September, I went to Silicon Valley again, and the development of the home game console project is still in progress, and most of the year has passed, and it is finally coming to an end, during which Aurora Games has applied for a bunch of patents, and if you are lucky enough, you may be able to catch this year's Christmas, but it is almost impossible.

The disadvantages of working with others and losing control are obvious, and if this company is in his own hands, Han Chudong feels that the development schedule can be shortened by at least a quarter.

He also went to Intel to visit again, presided over a board meeting as a major shareholder, and currently occupies two seats among the six directors of Intel, even if Moore CEO regarded him as a typical speculator, but he still chose to greet him with a smile, pinched his nose and cut off the investment in the development project of the personal computer, and decided to use the funds for EDA, that is, the electronic design automation project, which is Han Chudong's idea.

The shares have already crushed the other shareholders, not to mention collisions, disputes, etc., not to mention that Han Chudong has a good set of ways to please others.

It announced that it expects to give Intel a financing in the name of the Mason Private Equity Foundation at the beginning of next year, and slightly increase the salary level and increase the bonus at the end of this year.

After a one-time reward equivalent to eight weeks' salary, as well as more comprehensive family medical insurance, everyone from top to bottom began to like the new big boss.

Even the other shareholders were happy, because once the total financing of $25 million was obtained, Intel's financial pressure would be relieved.

Pay attention to the number of funds, brokers, and investment banks of this company, and with the addition of Han Chudong, it has slowly increased, and the market value has returned to the $100 million mark, fluctuating slightly up and down.

With the arrival of Citibank's $200 million, Han Chudong has recently begun to be eager to try again, and when the loan was made, he only wrote the purpose of investment on the application form, and successfully passed the review, with an annual interest rate of as high as 11.8 percent.

The interest on the three-year loan is as high as more than US$23.6 million per year for the first two years, and the principal and interest will be repaid in one lump sum in the third year.

Mason United Group has more than 200 million US dollars lying on its account, but Han Chudong has not thought about where to invest, and four days after the account, it still hasn't moved, but has increased slightly with the settlement interest.

It's not that he really has no place to invest, even if he takes two billion dollars, he can find an area to invest in, but he is just looking for the most beneficial project for himself, considering continuing to acquire luxury companies, or trying to further deepen the IC industry in the Silicon Valley area.

The former is too expensive and has a long investment cycle, while the latter has many uncertainties, and it is not easy to accurately select potential stocks from a large number of companies, and many of the company names on the materials have not even been heard of.

And Intel's outstanding shares are very few, with the addition of other players, it becomes more and more difficult to increase holdings, Han Chudong feels that it is enough, and it is not a good habit to set aside some cake for others to use, and it is not a good habit to eat alone.

The first three days of early October, which had been spent in a bar on New York's Upper East Side, felt that Number Four should pick himself up and continue to go that night and the next day.

It wasn't until he collapsed from diarrhea and his head throbbed slightly that he decisively withdrew from the glamorous nightlife and refused any invitation.

On the morning of the seventh.

Han Chudong set off from the high-end hotel next to the twin towers and headed to Wall Street in downtown New York again.

No longer think about how to enrich life and other nonsense, anyone who goes to a bar for a few days, is treated as a star, and is surrounded by beautiful women, will have a new understanding of life.

He is not the kind of character who easily indulges in depravity, and in the first few days of this early October, he relaxes and enjoys it, and he pulls out when he says he will withdraw, and he does not drag his feet at all.

He also hopes that life will always be smooth, but trouble will always creep in.

At this moment, Han Chudong sat in the car holding a newspaper in his hand, staring at a report on the economic page, his eyebrows wrinkled tighter and tighter.

He handed the newspaper to Arthur's assistant, who had come to New York with him, and asked, "I thought we were regular customers of the Wall Street Journal, talking nonsense, this is talking about human words?"

Arthur knew something was wrong, and hurriedly read the newspaper, and the headline alone made his head as big as a bucket, which read, "Ex-boyfriend's mask is disfigured again, and Standard & Poor's lowers his valuation."

The downward revision was real, but that was at the end of September.

When it was discovered that L'Oreal, Procter & Gamble, and Shiseido were selling significant face mask products, the rating agency Standard & Poor's raised the market value of Rainbow Beauty to $2.2 billion, and then revised it to $2.1 billion.

Compared to the profit from selling mask paper, the lost market is even larger, after all, mask paper patents are time-sensitive, and a company can survive for decades, or even hundreds of years.

Holding a sulk in his chest, Han Chudong continued:

"There are customers who don't wash their faces after using the mask, there are customers who take the mask as a universal product with two or three pieces a day, and there are customers who don't want to use the mask for their own skin type, and they choose the wrong product, it's just a acne allergy, and they can often recover after a few days of stopping. ”

"I know. ”

Assistant Arthur quickly finished reading it, raised his head and looked serious: "As long as they want to find trouble, even if it is just pure water on their face, they can find fault." This report is not objective, and I think it is likely that someone is deliberately targeting Rainbow Beauty, and I think it is likely that someone is deliberately targeting Rainbow Beauty......"
