Chapter 47: Another Me in the World

Shu Neem took this piece of paper full of English and read it carefully, so far the life of the owner of the resume G is all on it, and the investigator has carefully made notes and explanations: prodigy, studied medicine in the United States at a young age, passed the American medical practitioner exam after graduating from medical school, and the intern doctor did not do it long to change his career to engage in research, and he drummed up something in the stem cell research institute, and then mixed with a hedge fund company...... Then there are the fashion circles in Paris and Milan, followed by the current perfume-related work, with no small title.

"Interlaced lines are like mountains, the work you have done is also quite miscellaneous, and there should be a topic to talk about with Lao Wang, who plays cross-border"

"I'm far worse than your friend, people look at it and have pursuits, but I'm purely forced by my livelihood, in order to make a living!"

"Being idle by the company, and running shopping malls to do product sales research like Lei Feng every day, this is her pursuit?" , Chu Xi said very angry, and hugged his friends uprightly, "Working in a foreign company, it looks very beautiful, but I know that I am bitter, and only those who are in it can experience it, I have also worked in foreign companies, people are superficial, and there are many broken things that make trips!" ”

Shu Neem agreed, "I've read your friend's resume, she is the top executive of a French luxury brand group, quite remarkable, Chinese people can rarely break the glass ceiling of foreign promotions like her!" ”

"Her official rank is not small, but she is idle at home, and she doesn't have any heads!" , Chu Xi was annoyed and felt that his friend was being bullied by foreigners.

"Didn't your friend from the consulting company specifically mark it," Shu Neem picked up the paper and clicked a few lines of dense small print.

Chu Xi was upset, how impatient to look at it again, Shu Neem told him according to his own understanding: "Your friend's owner, that French luxury brand is a family holding, and it is rumored that an investment company intends to buy it", after a pause at this point, Shu Neem scolded secretly, damn, it's money again-"The third party intervenes to evaluate the selling price, and it is already under negotiation, if nothing else, all the company's shares will be sold, and then the group's senior management will have a big change, and the new products developed by G will be temporarily stopped, and she will have nothing to do"

"New products?"

"The paper is marked with trade secrets, but your friend who consults the company obviously has a way to find out the news, and he said that it is the perfume under the luxury product"

Shu Neem felt that she and this G were really difficult brothers, and they all stumbled on the capital, but the future of G was unclear, and she just fell into the mud, and said with emotion for a while: "In these years, no matter who you are, when you encounter aircraft carrier-level capital, you will fall into the sand." Even in the fashion industry, haute couture was taken over by Kenton, only to be bought back by the white-haired founder who was keen to dress Hollywood stars."

Chu Xi looked up at Shu Neem, and suddenly thought that she was in a similar situation to Lao Wang, and he didn't know what to say in this situation.

Shu Neem smiled calmly and resolved the embarrassment, "Love is neighbors and abandon darkness and turn to the light, follow the spirit of the times and have a future, no matter what, the result is not bad, this is very important, especially compared with the elegant old man who is known as the last king, you and Mr. Gao have given me enough face, so that I have a much worse situation under the stairs, he is pushing the cup at the banquet in the United States, and the holding family has reached an acquisition agreement with the private equity fund Permira behind his back, and he himself has nothing to think of it, this is the cruelty of capital!" ”

"Isn't my friend in a bad situation, similar to the situation of this palace-level designer?"

"The situation is not so bad," Shu said while thinking, "no matter who changes the controlling side of this company, if they want to enter the Chinese market, they must use talents who understand the Chinese market." I just looked at G's resume, the perfume she developed is very popular, and she can make real money, unless the foreigner's head is caught in the door panel, why let go of this kind of talent who is proficient in technology and market? ”

"I'm also concerned about chaos, it wasn't easy for her when she was a child, and I just look forward to her living a smooth life!"

"What about working for people, if you can do it, you can do it, if you can't do it, you can leave, it's not worth it to be a liver fire, you don't keep your master here, you have your own place to keep your master!"

Chu Xi slapped his thigh, "Eh, I like your attitude, you can do everything like this!" ”

"In my opinion, British design talents still have to be memorized"

"Who?"

"Giles Deacon, Alexander McQueen, who graduated from St. Martin's Fashion Institute at the same time, has long been a new benchmark in the fashion industry, he is still unknown, and then there are some signs of transfer, he was appointed as the director of AD, but unfortunately he was involved in the brand acquisition turmoil, and lost the advantages and disadvantages in the power struggle. But his talent and talent are there, sooner or later, there will be a day when the salted fish will turn over, not to worry, she is an international compound talent who is hot wherever she goes! Shu Neem comforted Chu Xi.

"That is, she was smart when she was a child, and Gao is half an alumnus, she was admitted to MIT at the beginning, and then went to Harvard to study for medical school, you said that she stayed in the hospital honestly, how popular doctors are in the United States, she is a little girl, what are you tossing!"

Shu Neem thought of his alumni mentioned by Gao Min, could it be the same person?

"After all, Lao Wang has been copied from the back road, these grandsons!" , Chu Xi was still indignant, for him, what if others were more unlucky than Wang Zuoyi, he didn't know him, he only knew that Wang Zuoyi had made someone plot, so he couldn't get angry.

Shu is no stranger to the French brand, and she interviewed one of their top executives on behalf of Lulujin to get a little insight into the current state of their company. She tried to analyze Chu Xi from the perspective of a bystander, "Their company's cash flow is very stable, so they are quite picky about sellers, even if the transaction is successful and the brand changes hands, most of them will retain the perfume businessG's resume is very clear, since she took over the brand and launched its first fragrance, 16 fragrances have been released so far, with cumulative sales of more than $1 billion." Hell if you don't do such a lucrative business! ”

As a straight man, Chu Xi has never been interested in fat powder things, but a bottle of perfume can create such an amazing fortune, he is still surprised by a small snack, "It's actually a lot of profit, and yes, women's money has been easier to make throughout the ages!" ”

"Absolutely! Not only perfume, in 04 years China's accession to the WTO, foreign brands entered in a big way, and the people of the motherland warmly welcomed. The first international luxury exhibition held in Shanghai had a turnover of 200 million yuan in the first three days, what kind of concept is this? The foreigners have seen the appetite and economic strength of Chinese people to buy luxury goods, and they regard China as the next stop for gold rush. The wealthy nouveau riche class in China is the target of luxury brands, and this group of people is very bold in spending a lot of money on big purchases! For example, Mr. Chu, a rich man like you, the coat on your body is the brand of a designer I just mentioned."

Chu Xi lowered his head and pulled his coat, "Who's it?" ”

"Alexander McQueen, you're a handful of tens of thousands!"

"The clothes are all taken care of by my girlfriend, I don't care much about this set, the most important thing is to wear it comfortably!" , he grinned, "What kind of nouveau riche rich man am I, and the money in the spirit of the times is still invested by Mr. Gao!" ”

"The curtain of China's GEM has opened, a new round of wealth myth will be born, brokers, private equity, investment banks, including Mr. Gao's DMC are sharpening their knives and preparing to push a number of enterprises, the spirit of the times is the lucky one who was selected, after listing, Mr. Chu is a billionaire!"

"I'm all excited when I hear what you say", Chu Xi laughed, "This year's GEM plummeted, I don't expect to make money, but I hope to be able to go public and raise funds, so that the spirit of the times can have a chance to develop and grow"

Chu Xi is a sober-minded entrepreneur, and Shu is glad that Ai Bilin was bought by Gao Min and given to him.

At this time, the phone on Chu Xi's desk rang, and he walked over in two steps and one step at a time, pressed the speakerphone, waived the greetings, and went straight to the point.

"Hey, larry, how does Wang Zuoyi get involved with perfume, doing research, she has an academic background, she jumped to a hedge fund, and every transaction is a numbers game, but fashion and luxury are not within the scope of her study!"

It seems that Chu Xi treats G as his own sister, and he is not at ease if he doesn't figure out her situation.

Shu Neem is very envious, why doesn't anyone run for her and complain for her, the same people don't have the same life!

"Did you get my fax? I asked a foreign colleague to check it. Let me tell you in detail, most of the owners who are currently in charge of the cosmetics R&D room are not only interested in her medical school background, but they also value her marketing concept. I remember a perfume with a narrow and flat bottle with Venetian masks carved on both sides, and it was so collectible that it sold so much that it was overflowing! ”

The name of this perfume is called the mask, the bottle is carved from a whole piece of crystal, neem traveled to Venice, bought it in the store near the Bridge of Sighs, at first glance I took a fancy to the perfume bottle without saying a word and immediately paid for it, and then sprayed the perfume, I felt worthy of the price of buying it, the smell was too good, the fragrant floral fragrance, neem distinguished two kinds, peony flower fragrance and tulip.

It turns out that G is the perfumer of this perfume.

While Shu Melia was distracted, Chu Xi and his friend who was consulting continued.

"Chu Xi, what is the relationship between this Wang Zuoyi and G you mentioned, could it be the little prodigy who lives in your needle's eye alley, she will break her cow when she is young, and she will grow up!"

"It's quite powerful, but it still makes people put it together!"

"This is the survival dilemma of foreign executives, the title of professional manager is a bluff, the problem is that a multinational company has more than 200 presidents and vice presidents in the world, in such a huge management body, the so-called head of China is just one of them, the decision-making power is foreigners, and there is a glass ceiling for promotion. Take me as an example, I don't know what year of the monkey can become a senior partner! ”

Larry's feelings turned lower, and Chu Xicheng teased him, "Erxiao, you are a turtle, what are you doing with a foreign name?" ”

He smiled: "Dharma! Put on a foreign vest to facilitate the big tongue of foreigners."

Chu Xi joked and chatted for a while, agreed to meet and play billiards when he was free, then put down the phone, turned back to Shu Neem and said: "Lao Wang is similar to the situation you analyzed, if she is not willing to do it, it is a big deal to come to the spirit of the times, I will ask her to be a partner!" ”

"Mr. Chu, you are so righteous that you have fallen, and you will follow!"

"We don't see each other very often, but the small love is constantly separated, and when she is in trouble, I definitely have to help. Let's talk about the spirit of the times, Mr. Gao invested a lot of money, but the start-up capital was invested by my college classmates, they are all friends, don't say anything outside, put friendship in the heart, and never shirk when you use your brothers, this is how we get along with a group of friends! ”

"Friendship is not easier to maintain than love, time, space, distance, as long as the three have changed, maybe friendship will be lost at the end of the world!"

Chu Xi nodded and thought deeply, "Yes, so the relationship between me and Lao Wang is precious, and if I am in trouble, she will definitely help me and do my best!" ”

Yes, she helped you, took a red-eye flight from France with a high fever to help pave your way, and you didn't let down her friendship. Shu Neem silently said in his heart, what kind of scene would it be if these two people found out about this qiē?

"Does Editor-in-Chief Shu have any good friends?"

"There are no friends who have died, but there are a few friends who drink and meat!" , Shu Neem joked.

Chu Xi thought she spoke very well, "Most of my old buddies are also friends with wine and meat - we can make friends!" ”

"What should I do, I've always had a clear distinction between public and private, if I can't be a friend, how about being a drinking friend? What you say when you're drunk and offend your boss doesn't count! ”

"Okay, no problem, speaking of wine, I have a buddy who has opened a private club, and the collection is full of good wine, let's sit there at night, drink and chat, I don't know if you appreciate it?"

"Mr. Chu's orders, don't dare to disobey!"

Speaking of this, Chu Xi has already introduced Shu Neem as a confidant, and he said the words that had been blocked in his heart just now, "You and Lao Wang are almost the same, if you have any discomfort in your heart, say it, as long as I can solve it, I will do it for you."

Shu Neem was stunned for a moment, she smiled, "Love is not a neighbor, it is already a blessing in misfortune, as for me, I have two famous words in my heart, and I am unsatisfactory."

"Oh? What a quote, let's hear it"

"Bitter or not, think about the Red Army's 25,000 or not, think about the revolutionary old-timers - what is a small setback, right?"

Chu Xi raised his head and laughed, "Yes, that's right! ”
