Chapter 425: Mason's self-recommendation
Santa Monica, California, USA. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Located on the Pacific coast, west of Los Angeles, this city has long been known for its coastal beauty. Ease of transportation and proximity to the entertainment city of Los Angeles is the city's biggest advantage from the crowd of small seaside towns.
If you're looking for a relaxing weekend in Pennsylvania, Santa Monica might be the best choice.
Tonight, this resort where you can see American stars from time to time is particularly lively.
It's the weekend, and celebrities and dignitaries from all walks of life who have been busy in Los Angeles for a week have flocked here. Not because of anything else, but because Santa Monica this weekend is really the best place to brush your face and look at beautiful women in public.
As for the cause,
That's right, the annual Gooding Auction in the United States is taking place here!
The nature of this auction may be different from that of a normal auction;
Here, you might be lucky enough to find Elvis Presley's sunglasses, Michael Jackson's leather shoes, Steve McQueen's campervan, or Kardashian's hair******* everything auctioned here is the kind of thing that has a special meaning that is very small in the world.
Well, don't question whether Kardashian's *** stock is scarce, or whether it has special significance. This prodigal hoof also wears underwear, which is a phenomenal exception in itself......
Ahem, of course, this is off topic.
Given the nature of the items and the nature of the items, it is not easy to get the items at auction. You may have to compete with basketball star Durant, the lead singer of the famous pop band Magic Red, the world-famous pop singer Taylor Swift, or one of the tech giants in Silicon Valley. Trying to get a good product is definitely a huge challenge for a person's deposit.
And it is because of this stimulation and the existence of many stars that every Gooding auction is extremely popular, so that rich people from all over the United States and even abroad flock to it.
Celebrities and rich people gather together, and this spectacle naturally turns the Gooding auction into a grand festival in the entertainment industry.
So at this time, the beach pier was already shimmering with flashing lights.
Mason led Li Fanyu to stand on the beach in front of the dock, watching the celebrities and rich people from all walks of life take out the red carpet posture and wave to reporters frequently, and couldn't help but be a little in a trance.
Looking at a large group of celebrity faces that can only be seen on TV on weekdays, Mason patted Li Fanyu beside him very complacently, "Hey, dude, how is it?
Mason had already shaved his beard, and he didn't know where to put a slim suit on his body. Not to mention, this thing is a lot younger without a beard, and the unlucky experience during this period of time made him successfully lose weight, and with a little dress, he has a slightly vicissitudes of life and a height of more than 1.80 meters, and he looks quite handsome.
Li Fan took his hand away in disgust and shrugged his shoulders, "Mason, you don't have to do this at all. I refurbished those cars just to make you feel better on a grey day. Even if you sell it, you don't have to bring me in. ”
"NONO, FOOL, MY BEST FRIEND. I've accepted all of your friendship. You don't know, but you came at the lowest time of my life. I've even lost all hope in friendship and love. Believe me, my friend, what you have given me is more precious than these cars. Mason was a little excited at this time, and he was already about to burst into tears after saying two words.
Li Fanyu looked at his numb appearance, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop: "Stop! Big brother, don't cry." It's going to make people misunderstand our relationship!"
Seeing his look at the's expression, Mason laughed, and deliberately leaned over and hugged his shoulder, "Oh! You may not know, but I've decided to rely on you for the rest of my life!"
Li Fanyu shuddered, and quickly took a step back, "I won't rely on you to be a!"
"Haha, of course not! But I've already sold the scrapyard, and I'll mess with you in the future. Well, will you take in poor old Mason?"
Li Fanyu looked confused, "Aha?"
"Friend, I'm thinking a lot these days. When I got rid of the scrapyard, I was going to spend the rest of my life there. But since you want to grow your company in the U.S., then I thought I could help you. ”
Mason let him go, walked up to him and said earnestly.
"Fool, I'm a native of the United States, and I know the people here. And I have previously held a role at Lotus and have some knowledge of the automotive industry. I've thought about it, and although your company cooperates with CPM Group, the cooperation doesn't seem to be working very well right now, so I have a suggestion for you. ”
"What advice?"
"Why don't you set up a branch in the U.S. and focus on the U.S. market?"
Li Fanyu touched the buttons on the cuffs of his shirt, he had considered this problem. So in the face of this suggestion, he motioned for Mason to continue.
"You see, now that you've bought a stake in CPM, you don't really have a lot of control. And through what I've learned during this time, those models of yours are all sold in the United States through the import of complete vehicles. It's not that I'm noisy, although CPM has a certain background and relationship. But the tax rate on the import of the whole car is there, and if you sell it in the U.S., your car will have to sell at a higher price than your competitors who make it in the U.S., which is not good for you. ”
These things that Mason said, Li Fanyu had never thought about it. But there is no way, if Zhengxin wants to enter the United States, he must go through some channels. I still know a few people in China, but it doesn't work when I go abroad.
Therefore, the original stake in CPM was to allow Zhengxin to enter the U.S. market through their relationship. In addition to this, it is the issue of controlling the specific operation of the shareholding.
And to open a branch in the United States, he has also taken it into consideration.
But to be reasonable, Zhengxin is developing too fast now, and the top management is not enough. Now it has been promoted from the company to the group, although a large number of original middle-level people have been promoted, but it is also a radish and a pit.
Therefore, when you come to the United States to open a branch, who will be responsible is a big problem.
At present, the domestic part is undergoing a comprehensive institutional upgrade, and after An Ning is gone, Zhengxin's affairs in the United States are basically on hold. Thinking of the CPM shares that he bought for hundreds of millions of dollars before, Li Fanyu felt painful.
To be honest, he plans to manage it himself.
So now Mason offered to be his little brother, and he was moved.
Seeing that he was silent and silent, Mason thought that he had some concerns, so he hurriedly increased his efforts to promote himself, "Foolish, as long as you give me authorization, you don't have to worry about everything else, I can definitely open up the sales channel of Zhengxin in the United States for you." Hehe, I've even thought about the whereabouts of the start-up capital for the preparation of the branch."
Hearing this, Li Fan smiled foolishly: "Mason, look at you like this, this has been calculated a long time ago?"
"Oh, of course! Dude, you're the richest man I've ever known. Of course I'm going to hold on to this big tree!"
As he spoke, he opened his hands and pounced on it.
Li Fanyu looked disgusted, and hurriedly used his hands to break him away.
At this moment, I saw a familiar face in the pile of reporters on the dock.
So he turned Mason's face to the side and said, "Huh, why is she here too?"
