Chapter 682 Chanel

……

"I roughly calculated that in the first three quarters of 2016, the overall revenue of the four subsidiaries of Taoyuan Holdings was 47.5 billion, and the total profit was about 26 billion Chinese dollars. Counting the forecast revenue for the last quarter, Taoyuan Holdings' overall total revenue in 2016 was 57.76 billion Huaxia Yuan, and the total profit was about 32 billion Huaxia Yuan, right?"

"Yes!"

Wang Lei nodded.

"So how much cash reserves do you have in Taoyuan Holdings' bank account now?"

"5.59 billion Chinese dollars. Of the remaining 20.4 billion yuan, one-third will support the construction of 9 'Taoyuan Towns' in China and 3 abroad, one-third will still acquire land around the world to expand the number of 'Taoyuan Farms', and the remaining one-third, about 7 billion Chinese yuan, will be handed over to Times Group as an investment for the expansion of Golden Eagle Shopping Center. After a pause, Wang Lei's expression became a little solemn, "Boss, there is something I want to discuss with you." ”

"What's the matter?" Wang Zheng was slightly stunned.

"I want to let 'Taoyuan Ji' enter the high-end cosmetics industry next year. ”

"High-end cosmetics?"

"Yes!" Wang Lei nodded.

"Why? Do you want to take advantage of the Pintai in Times Square and Golden Eagle Mall?"

"That's just one aspect. The point is that high-end cosmetics are lucrative. Moreover, our Taoyuan Villa has a lot of high-end flower resources. For example, the rose essential oil, known as 'liquid gold', is squeezed from roses grown in the rose garden, and the quality of rose essential oil is definitely not inferior to that of Bulgarian rose essential oil. In addition, a large number of lavender are planted on both sides of the Qinghe River in the villa, which is the most commonly used cosmetic flavor material. Various other flowers are also planted in a large area within the lodge, which is a high-end resource that can be utilized. ”

Wang Zheng shook his head, "The idea is indeed good. Moreover, the quality of all kinds of flowers cultivated with Shennong's plant-type nutrient solution is indeed not inferior to any top similar varieties. However, Wang Lei, you have to understand that the flowers in the villa are used to beautify the environment and attract tourists. Economic value is only incidental. And, without flowers, our wild honey production will also suffer. ”

"Owner, the flowers at the lodge are just one aspect. Taoyuan Farm is the main body!"

"You want Taoyuan Farm to grow flowers?"

"Yes! Today, the farm produces agricultural and animal husbandry products and cash crops, which are only supplied to the Times Group. However, compared with the expansion speed of Taoyuan Farm, the expansion rate of the restaurants of various brands under the Times Group is significantly lower. Therefore, it often causes a waste of land resources and output of Taoyuan Farm. However, in order to ensure the competitive advantage of Maxim's Gourmet Group, the output of Taoyuan Farm cannot be put on the market. Therefore, the best of both worlds is to expand the area under the cultivation of cash crops. Compared to fruits, soybeans, herbs, etc., the added value of flowers is obviously higher. Especially in the case of Shennong's plant-based nutrient solution to improve the quality. ”

After listening, Wang Zheng was silent for a moment, "You have been thinking about this idea for a long time?"

"Yes! We've been doing the survey for half a year. A mature plan has been formed!"

"Tell me about it!"

Wang Lei nodded, "Considering that we have no experience in the high-end cosmetics industry, we do not have our own core patents. Therefore, we tend to acquire a company engaged in high-end cosmetics, based on this, with our excellent raw materials, to conquer the market!"

"Who do you have a crush on?"

"Chanel!"

"Chanel?"

There are only a few top international cosmetics brands, and Chanel's famous name Wang Zheng is naturally no stranger.

At present, among the high-end cosmetics brands, Chanel is the only 'pearl of mountains and seas' that is not controlled by a large consortium. The brothers, Alain Widmore and Gérard Widmore, each own 50 percent of Chanel's shares. As long as you get them, it will be easy to take down Chanel. At present, these two brothers are almost 70 years old, and for the elderly, physical health is far more important than wealth, and it just so happens that the 'Life Body Gene Repair Solution' in our hands is the best longevity medicine in the world. As long as the 'embedded memory modifier' is cooperated, the two brothers will willingly sell 'Chanel' to us." ”

"Looks like you've got everything in order. But how are you going to solve the funds? At present, Taoyuan Holdings' capital reserves cannot buy this luxury empire with a market value of 20 billion US dollars!"

"With the current development trend of Taoyuan Holdings, it may be difficult for the entire group's profits to exceed 50 billion Huaxia dollars next year, but if it breaks through 40 billion, it should be nine out of ten. After deducting the necessary expenses, we can also save 20 billion, and counting all our cash reserves, we can raise 25 billion Huaxia yuan in cash next year. Of course, we don't expect to buy it next year, but this financial statement can impress any bank loan review department in the world. ”

“… In addition, I do not intend to acquire 100% of Chanel entirely. Just get an absolute controlling stake in it. Moreover, with the presence of two brothers, Alain Widmore and Gérard Widmore, it was possible to minimize the impact of the change of ownership on Chanel's operations. In this way, we consume less money! So, the boss can rest assured that there is a problem with funds. ”

"So, you don't need me to support you financially!" Wang Zheng smiled after a moment of silence.

"Of course it would be better if the owner could be supportive!"

Wang Zheng shook his head, "Since you can solve it yourself, then it's up to you." With the 'Golden Triangle Plan', a big money-swallower, I'm already a headache!"

Wang Lei smiled and didn't say anything more.

"By the way, what are the movements of those American young masters who live in Meigu these days?" Wang Zheng asked instead.

"Since I came back from visiting the 'Shennong Research Institute', I have been touring in the mountain villa. However, from the transcripts of their calls with the elders of the American family intercepted by the 'neuronal mastermind', it is clear that the evaluation and importance of the boss in their hearts have been rising. Come to think of it, it won't be long before they offer to visit you!"

After thinking for a while, Wang Zheng nodded calmly.

I'll be busy during this time, so you can pay more attention to them for me.

"Yes!"

"Wow...!"

As soon as Wang Lei's words fell, there was a sound of hurried footsteps from far and near outside the door. Soon, the half-covered door was 'banged' open from the outside, and Uncle Zhong, who was quite panting, appeared in front of Wang Zheng.

Before he could ask, he heard Uncle Zhong say quickly: "Young master, the young grandmother's amniotic water has broken, and now she has been sent to the delivery room of the villa hospital, and she may be about to give birth." ”

"What?"

Shocked, Wang Zheng stood up in a moment. Immediately afterwards, he took a big stride, hurriedly came out of the study, went downstairs out of the Zaohua Valley Villa, and followed the underground transportation system towards the Affiliated Hospital of the Mountain Villa in the Central Valley.

Originally, the affiliated hospital within Taoyuan Resort was at the level of a township hospital at best. But since Yu Yixue became pregnant, Wang Zheng has used the biochemical resources in his hands to upgrade his obstetrics and gynecology and pediatrics to the top international level.

When Wang Zheng felt anxious about the hospital, Huo Lanxiang and his grandfather were already waiting in the corridor.

"Mom, grandma, grandpa!"

"Stinky boy, where did you go just now?" Huo Lanxiang came up and hit her son the shoulder.

"My company has some urgent matters to deal with... ”

"Company, company. Like your father, you know that you are busy with your own business, and you don't even care about such an important thing as having a child in your family!"

Looking at the resentful mother, Wang Zheng hurriedly walked to the door of the ward next to him after accompanying the smiling face, but the door was tightly closed, and he couldn't see anything inside. But Yu Yixue's painful moans inside tugged at his heart one by one.

Wang Zheng, who was entangled in many negative emotions such as worry, nervousness and uneasiness, truly experienced the feeling of ants on a hot pot.

"Okay, don't go around the door of the ward like a donkey, come and sit down and wait. Huo Lanxiang said.

"Yes, Xiao Zheng. Yixue has always been in good health. I haven't left behind in my usual workouts, so it's okay!" the old lady comforted her.

"I know, but I'm just worried!"

After the words fell, Wang Zheng couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the ward. If he could, he would have liked to go in and have a look.

"Alright, leave him alone. The first time a man has encountered this situation, there is a place to sit down. ”

The old man understands very well.

Although Huo Lanxiang is usually a little spicy, she respects her elderly grandfather very much. Seeing them say this, they didn't continue to discipline Wang Zheng.

"Mom, isn't Yixue's due date still half a month away? Why is it suddenly advanced?" After circling around the door of the ward for a while, Wang Zheng suddenly turned his head and asked.

"Today, when she was painting in the studio, she probably sat for a long time, and when she got up, she was a little anxious. After a pause, Huo Lanxiang slapped her thigh and said in annoyance, "It's all my fault, I should have helped her at the time." ”

"In-laws, how can I blame you. Moreover, half a month early is not considered premature, it's okay!" said the old lady.

"That's right. It's only half a month, and it won't have any impact on the child. ”

As soon as the old man's words fell, just as Wang Zheng was about to comfort his mother, there was a sound of hurried footsteps from far and near in the corridor at the corner of the corridor. After a short time, Wang Jianguo, who was wearing a suit, running sweaty, and out of breath, appeared in front of everyone.

Looking at him, he obviously ran out of a meeting.
