Chapter 225 Opens

Jonas, from this day on, you have also become a father. We hope that you will always remember who you are and be something that all of us will be proud of. ”

The emir did not give his brother the slightest face, and said coquettishly: "Obel, wasn't Jonas your pride before?"

Aubert laughed indulgently and shook his head. "You're already a grandmother, and you're like a child. ”

Jonas's cousin, Meyeri, handed over a bottle of wine and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Jonas, I didn't expect you to be a father before me." ”

Mayeri has been married for two years, but his wife, Aypani, has just become pregnant.

Jonas took the wine and was stunned when he saw that it was a bottle of Romanée Conti from 1945. "Wow, Uncle Obel, this gift is too valuable. ”

1945 was a rare year for Burgundy, due to the hailstorms of spring, Romanée Conti produced only 600 bottles that year, but the quality was the best!

Later, two bottles of 1945 Romanée-Conti wine were auctioned in New York for a whopping $1.05 million, making them the most expensive wines.

Even now, the Romanée-Conti of 1945 is not less than fifty thousand dollars, and there is no market.

Obert laughed happily when he saw that Jonas was acquainted. "This is the stock at the bottom of my box, and I am willing to take it out to celebrate the birth of the fourth generation of the Dweland family. ”

On the other side, Jonas's grandmother hugged Sophia in her swaddling clothes, and her happy mouth couldn't close.

In the afternoon, Nicole, who had only been in the hospital for a day, was taken back to Lucerne, and Jonas's uncle followed him back to Lucerne to discuss how to celebrate.

Hannah also interrupted her trip to Austria and returned home, arguing with Jonas's grandmother before agreeing to a family-only celebration in Basel.

Three days later, the wrinkled Sophia's skin became moisturized, and Nicole, who was originally disgusted, was now reluctant to let go while holding the child.

On June 14, in accordance with Catholic rites, the Hoffmann family performed a baptismal ceremony for Sophia at the church in Rien, on the border between Basel and Germany.

Jonas's cousin, Meyeri, became the child's godfather, and his wife, Epani, became the child's godmother.

Except for relatives, no other family of friends participated in this ceremony, only Kostler and Dinah participated in the baptism.

They wanted to be Sophia's godfather, godmother, but they didn't compete with the Mayeris.

And after the baptism, when Aubert returned to France, Jonas also came up with a new sales plan that he had carefully prepared.

In this sales plan, Romanée Conti divided all its customers into different regions, each of which set a different sales quota.

Since then, the twelve wines of Romanée Conti have been sold exclusively to member customers and have not been circulated in the market.

In order to fear his uncle's financial constraints, Jonas was willing to make an advance payment to help them stock up on wine that could not be sold.

Aubert was worried about this sales plan, and Romanée Conti's genuine wines never worried about sales, but the eleven decks would be greatly affected by this.

If there is too much inventory, it will greatly affect the brand and sales of Romanée Conti.

Jonas knew that the future Romanée Conti only heard of its name, but did not see its wine, and it was always in short supply, but Aubert did not know!

However, Jonas knew that La Lule Birch would definitely approve of the plan, and she had always wanted to make Romanée Conti the number one brand of red wine.

"Uncle, after you go back, discuss with Aunt Lalu, this is the best way I think, not only to solve the current conflict between you and Aunt Lalu, but also to help build the brand. ”

The next day after Aubert returned, Lalule called Jonas.

"Jonas, you're a genius, and your sales plan is even more far-reaching than I had ever thought about. With you to take care of it, we don't have to worry about too much inventory, which will cause business difficulties. ”

Jonas smiled, "Aunt Laru, if you don't continue the lawsuit with my uncle, it will be the best outcome." ”

"Rest assured, as long as Obert agrees to this plan, I am willing to compensate the wine merchants for previous sales mistakes. ”

"Is it because of me?" Jonas wondered, for Lalu had been unrelenting and uncompromising.

"Jonas, in the future, we will no longer sell wine through wine merchants, but we need them to strengthen our brand reputation! ”

Just by hearing Lalu's analysis, Jonas knew that she was definitely a better fit to be the sales director than her traditional uncle.

This woman is not contemptuous of tradition, nor is she a dime a dime, she is simply challenging convention.

On June 16, Jonas took his grandmother and Sophia to meet Nicole's parents and her sister from Australia.

Anthony and the others didn't know that they had an extra grandson until this time, and they were furious that Nicole gave up this golden beetle son-in-law and chose to be a star.

However, in the face of Jonas's promise that he would give Sophia no less than $200 million in compensation in the future, they chose to settle down.

At this time, Jonas took out another villa in Hawaii and transferred it to them.

Hawaii is where Anthony used to work, Nicole was born there, and Anthony loved it so much.

After signing his name on the transfer document, Anthony's cold face couldn't stand anymore.

He was just a side branch of the Kidman family, and his life was not easy all these years.

Although Nicole gave up becoming Mrs. Hoffman, with the support of the Hoffman family, she will definitely become a star.

Not counting the salary, just the commercial endorsements that Jonas has negotiated for Nicole are millions of dollars a year.

On June 17, Nicole took her parents to her home in Cannes, where she would take a break to shoot Swatch's watch endorsement and Hermès brand endorsement in preparation for her comeback.

The Jonas family returned to their home in Lucerne, and although there was no much fanfare, most of the close families knew that the Hoffmanns had an additional member.

When the family register was carried out in the town, Jonas de Veran Hoffmann was indicated in the father's column, but the mother's column was empty.

It was at this time that Hannah lifted Jonas's lockdown. Recently, her energy has been poured into Sophia, and Austria's business investigation and negotiation can only be handed over to Jonas.

On 19 June, the Piaggio business plane ordered by Jonas flew to Buochs airport on the other side of his home, while two pilots arranged by Pincasgreen arrived at Jonas's home.

Both pilots are from France and were once part of the French Air Force, retiring from the army and joining Pincas's crew, and are proven and credible.

Hoffman's investment bank has made impressive returns from last year to this year, and his position has risen within the group.

Although he is still young, no one will despise him as a rising star.

Like Jonas who once offended the Ethiopian poisoner Mengestu, Jonas broke the leg of Abi's son, but this time he sent another son, Berhanu, to ease relations with Jonas.

Berhanu, who attended the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, just graduated this summer and is now on a graduation trip to Switzerland.

Jonas took the time to meet with him, and although there were no formal talks, relations eased.

On June 23, Kaiya Young drove the Mercedes-Benz Grand G to Graz, the capital of Styria, Austria's green state.

The next day, Jonas and Ursula arrived at Graz Airport on a Biaggio business jet.

Jonas was greeted not only by representatives of the Steyr and Puch families, the director of the Steyr plant, but also by the governor of Styria and the mayor of Graz.

The cooperation between Hoffmann Investment Bank and the Austrian government has been hot, Hoffmann Investment Bank has a lot of money, and most of the funds come from Austria, so all walks of life in Austria still hope that Hoffmann Investment Bank can keep all the funds in Austria.

Of all the companies, Jonas is the Steyr plant, Austria's largest automotive company that will be one of the core companies of the consortium.

In Hannah's previous contacts, she made it clear that Hoffmann Investment Bank cooperated with the Austrian government, and other companies could adopt a joint venture model.

However, the Steyr car plant must be controlled, which is the basis for Hoffmann's investment bank to invest in Austria.

The Austrian government chose to compromise under this hard-line attitude and was willing to split the Steyr Arms Company from the automobile company and make it controlled by Hoffmann Investment Bank.

After all, Hoffman Investment Bank has chosen the automotive industry as its core industry, and the future investment will definitely not be less.

And these investments will create a lot of jobs.

When I saw these greeting personnel, the first thing Jonas said was: "My first car is a Mercedes-Benz big G produced in Steyr factory, and I have a very good impression and trust in the quality control and production process of your factory."

And this factory has been relying on low value-added production such as OEM to survive, which is a huge waste of talent and technology.

If Hoffman Investment Bank can take a controlling stake in this plant, I will build our own car brand with the Steyr plant as the core, and give the Steyr plant a new lease of life. ”

The reason why Audrey's government was able to agree to Hoffman's control was also because of this.

OEM can only earn processing fees and brand premiums, which this factory can't earn.

According to 1984 statistics, there were 700 auto parts companies with sales of more than 500,000 US dollars, but 80% of them were small enterprises with less than 200 employees.

Together with related industries, Austria's automotive manufacturing industry employs more than 300,000 people, accounting for 12 percent of the total number of Austrian workers.

However, due to historical reasons, most of them are in this OEM mode of survival. Seven hundred companies, but none of them have their own car brands.

Jonas chose Austria to start his own car journey because of their proven technology and craftsmanship, as well as their talent.

So, he and the Austrian government both understand that they are working in a complementary way.
