On Carinthia Street, in a store to be opened, several people sat in a circle around the conference round table, looking through the plan book in their hands, looking at each other, and after Ji Qianyu asked "Are you ready", no one took the lead to speak.
"I'm ready, but I'm not very confident." As Ji Qianyu's most loyal supporter, Leah touched his nose under the gaze of everyone, so he had to take the lead in speaking, closed the plan, sat up slightly straight, and looked out at Carinthia Street through the huge glass window.
This is one of the most famous shopping streets in the world, and it is bustling with people at any time of the year. Leah's gaze passed through the pedestrians and traffic, and when she landed on the opposite storefront, she couldn't help but smile bitterly again.
"The location was opposite the main store in Winster...... It's crazy and risky. Leaving aside the fact that the area of this store is not as large as the main store, and how much it costs to buy a storefront in such a place where every inch of land is valuable, we will only talk about the fact that after Ms. Elise left, the head of the Carl family handed over the main store to Master Luke to take care of. So Miss, are you opening the store opposite now, are you making it clear that you are going to start fighting? This is too arrogant, and it is easy to cause the other party to fight back desperately. ”
"The lesser of two evils meets." Ji Qianyu shrugged his shoulders and explained methodically, "The storefronts on Carinthia Street are inherently expensive, and the difference in money in different locations is bearable. Aunt Elise has been guarding the main store for more than ten years, and now we have opened the store here, putting on a fighting appearance, and we can also attract some of my aunt's regular customers. And if you give up here and find another place, it seems that you have given way in front of insiders, and the people are very cold, so it's better to make them suspicious. ”
That's just as well. Leah thought for a moment, nodded, and accepted the statement. Ji Qianyu's lips moved, but he didn't say anything, Fu Yufeng next to him glanced at her sideways, he was not surprised by her expression, with a touch of helplessness and doting in his eyes.
And she thinks it will be easier to merge when the dust settles. He added on the side, and Ji Qianyu nodded vigorously, disdainful of Leah's short-sightedness.
Thinking too much, right?! Now it seems that the winning side is less than 30%! Leah Kankan couldn't hold back the complaints in his heart, and silently swallowed blood, saying that he had no superfluous opinions on this idea. Felix gloated at Leah and laughed at Leah in his wordlessness. Richard had been reading the plan since the beginning, and when they finally put it down after they were done, the folder fell on the table without making a sound.
"Very bold idea." He said, "Of course, you can't only have Ms. Elise, but how can you be sure that other well-known designers will agree to your invitation?" ”
"Because this is something that Luke can't do, I can." Ji Qianyu turned slightly sideways, glanced at the Winster head office across the street outside the window, and turned back again, "Of course, the jewelry research and development of the Winster family has to go through professional designers, and in terms of crystal luxury, every design drawing is very precious, and it is difficult to maintain long-term cooperation with outsiders." This distrust has led to the fact that the head office has never been able to let go of its fists, but I don't have anything of it, so naturally I don't care about it. ”
"What if you have everything?" Richard asked, "Are you going to start taking a more conservative approach to development?" If that's the case, there's no essential difference between the Lesser family's cooperation with you and the current cooperation with Luke. ”
"Designers can be cultivated, but the future is unknown. But as far as you ask, I think I can tell you the answer right now. Ji Qianyu narrowed his eyes, looked at Richard for two seconds, and said calmly and decisively: "I may not choose to develop conservatively, and I may not be able to have that day." But I have two advantages, which I can probably add some points. ”
"What advantages?" Felix sat next to Richard, looking at her curiously. Ji Qianyu raised a finger and looked at him very calmly.
"First of all, I came up from the bottom, and I was born not so peaceful, and I had a lot more courage than others, whether you call this kind of reckless spirit smart or stupid." Ji Qianyu said slowly, then raised his second finger, looked at him quite relaxedly, and hooked the corners of his lips.
"Besides, I know that I am not professional enough in this area, so I should not make the mistake of making great achievements in talent scheduling. There's nothing wrong with being cautious, but taking risks is the most effective way to make money. What do you two brothers think, should you choose to be conservative or adventurous? ”
"You're here, and you're still asking about this?" Felix couldn't help but glance at her and rolled his eyes upwards at her: "You have been caught on the thief ship, what else is there to say?" ”
"No, I'm just asking you, I don't mean to arrest anyone." Ji Qianyu said politely, his gaze turned between the two brothers.
"And I want to ask, who are you talking to me about cooperation?"
"Aren't the two of us both ......" Felix was halfway through his words, and suddenly reacted to Ji Qianyu's meaning. The rest of the "people of the Lesser family" suddenly got stuck in his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Richard is really too good a standard heir, although he also has the heart to peep at the head of the family, but he has never even had the courage to show this heart in front of Richard. But Ji Qianyu now picked out the words, Richard also looked at him, Felix sat in place, took a deep breath, and slowly pressed the heart that was about to jump back to its original place.
If this ambition cannot be eliminated on its own, then nothing can be escaped today.
Felix's chest rose and fell several times, and finally calmed down, looked at Ji Qianyu and smiled: "Diana, we have a cooperative relationship first, this time you need help, of course I am duty-bound." ”
"That's good, thank you." Ji Qianyu nodded politely at him, and turned to look at Richard, "I have an appointment with Felix in advance, and I don't have a chance to cooperate, I'm sorry." ”
"Since Felix wants to exercise, then he can do it." Richard withdrew his gaze from Felix, pushed his eyes, and nodded at her nonchalantly.
"Originally, I also talked about cooperation with Yufeng, now you and Felix talk about yours, we talk about ours, everything is just right."
"What?!" Felix yelled and jumped straight out of his chair. However, he soon found that the other three parties did not react to the matter, and it was obvious that each of them knew it, and he was the only one who was ignorant and knew nothing about everything. He stayed for a while, and could only sit down again, looking at Ji Qianyu with a hint of grief in his eyes.
Can't you breathe ahead of time?! His true face is now revealed!
Ji Qianyu was obviously not interested in his true face, and seeing that he also accepted the reality, he nodded at the brothers and redefined their relationship: "Happy cooperation. ”
Although there are many gags above, cooperation is now completely inevitable. Richard and Felix glanced at each other, and after understanding each other's thoughts, they also nodded to Ji Qianyu.
"The cooperation between the Winster and Lesser families is strong and unshakable, and in the long run, it will be more beneficial to deal with you than with Luke in the future. So...... Happy to work with. ”
Unlike the Winster family, which is mainly engaged in luxury crystal manufacturing and is at the forefront of popularity, the Lesser family is mainly engaged in machinery manufacturing, and also takes a high-precision development route, and is the leading machinery manufacturer in Europe. Around the Lesser family, there are a series of related industries including information and communication, automobile manufacturing, metallurgy and chemical industry, electronic chemistry, etc., and the company chain is very complete.
However, Europe is not the mecca of the machinery industry today, and it is inferior to the countries on the other side of the ocean in all aspects. In addition, this is a land that cares about whether the birth is noble or not, and the social respect of the Lesser family is relatively at a loss, which is one of the reasons why the Austrian family has always been below the Winster family.
But the relationship between the two families is not tense, on the contrary, because the industrial crystal has good functions such as storing data, energy conversion, and transmitting information, the Winster family, as the world's largest crystal manufacturer, has always maintained a close cooperative relationship with the Lesser family, otherwise they would not have concluded the marriage contract between Ji Qianyu and Felix. And now choosing to cooperate with Ji Qianyu is equivalent to showing Carl an attitude of supporting the team, which is enough to make both the board of directors of the Winster family and Carl pay attention.
Ji Qianyu looked at the two brothers with a touch of contemplation, but his ambition did not stop there.
"In addition to the regular cooperation, I think we can also talk about new directions of cooperation." Ji Qianyu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said the thoughts that were not written in the plan, but had been thinking about for a long time.
"Do you Lesser family have any ideas for entering the field of luxury manufacturing?"
"What do you mean?" Richard frowned, looked at her for two seconds, and quickly understood what she meant, "Expensive machine building? I'm afraid not, now this field has been looking for higher performance and lower prices, and it can't be the other way around. ”
"Don't think so narrowly, you were born in this ancient and noble land, and you have a natural advantage in the eyes of all people in the world, why don't you take advantage of it?" Ji Qianyu smiled faintly, Felix was still confused, Fu Yufeng's eyes flashed, and he had already said the answer for Ji Qianyu.
"Handmade in luxury." He said, "Not all areas of the Lesser family are suitable for hand-made, and they can be hand-made to enhance their value. But you only need to use one aspect of hand-made, and the cooperation with the Winster family crystal jewelry can make the first step more stable and better. ”
"You ......" Felix was speechless for a while, looking at Fu Yufeng's eyes as if he had seen a ghost, "How can you think of such a thing as a piano player?!" ”
"I was born into a musical family, and my parents were both musicians." Fu Yufeng nodded at him gently, and said lightly, "But our family is a big family, and the interests and hobbies of the older generation are not quite the same, and the industries involved are relatively wide, and they are all doing well." ”
This kind of big family may only be seen in countries where blood is thicker than water. Such a big family, with many brothers and sisters in the previous generations, had different circumstances in that era, and usually lived their own lives independently, but for relatives who mixed well, they would not break this relationship network. After 100 years of operation, taking care of each other, under the dual maintenance of blood interests, the interests of this big family will be closely related, and it is difficult to get a glimpse of the whole picture.
Felix may not be able to understand such a situation, Richard may be slightly better, but Ji Qianyu certainly fully understands what Fu Yufeng means. This is the first time he has taken the initiative to talk about his family, Ji Qianyu silently closed his eyes, and finally knew what he knew.
Not to mention anything else, at least she had seen the line of medicine in their family, and Fu Yufeng's condition had improved, and now it can be called a recovery, and they played a role that could not be ignored.
Ji Qianyu raised his head, glanced at Fu Yufeng, and saw that he was also looking at her, and explained a little more, obviously to her, the two looked at each other, and they knew each other. Ji Qianyu retracted his gaze, looked at Richard and Felix, who were silent, and said, "You still have some time to think about it, but it's best to decide before I contact the first designer." If our two families are going to work together to launch a product, we have a lot more to communicate with the designer. ”
"Don't think about it." Li looked at Felix, who didn't react, so he turned to Ji Qianyu and nodded: "Hengzhi will not shake the foundation of the family, and it is not impossible to make a new attempt." Although we are not in a hurry, since we have chosen to cooperate with you, finalizing it at this time can be regarded as your sincerity. ”
It's a pleasure to talk to smart people. Ji Qianyu nodded with satisfaction, and turned to Elise to ask, "Auntie, do you have any recommendations for the designer?" ”
"There are a few." Elise nodded, then paused, then frowned again.
"But...... Forget it, it's nothing, no matter how difficult it is, you have to try it first. I'm not sincere enough to come forward, I'll give you the address, you can talk about it as soon as possible. ”
