Chapter 297: Red Face? Woe to the waters?
Miss Baron, who was holding An Feng, blinked her eyes, as if she sensed that something was wrong, but she paused slightly, shook her head again, smiled self-deprecatingly, and continued: "...... The harder the gemstone, the more suitable it is to be carved into a variety of patterns. Yes, all kinds of styling.
In the past, the engraving equipment was backward, people used lathes, lathes, and various polishing equipment to polish and cut gemstones, and now people use laser cutting, and I heard that hydraulic cutting is also used in India, which is the use of ultra-high-speed water flow to cut gemstones. It is said that with this type of cutting, the cut gem does not need to go through the polishing procedure, and the facet is more rounded and smooth......"
When Miss Baron said this, she sighed deeply: "Oh, in fact, in various industries, the biggest obstacle to human progress is the inherent habits, inherent traditions, our family business has been inherited for hundreds of years, and there are many jewelers in the family who have served the company for forty or fifty years, they are very skilled, no matter what shape you need, they can help you achieve it, but they don't understand computers, don't understand lasers, don't understand all kinds of modern equipment, they resist modernization."
I've always wanted to be able to renew the family business after I take power, but the old employees in my family can't give up, so I thought that if I could buy a new jewelry company, and buy a new company that likes new equipment and understands new equipment, maybe it can bring a little fresh air to my business.
You know, after many years of production in the old vineyard, the vines have not been able to produce new branches, the yield is not high, and the quality is gradually declining, so it is necessary to graft, and the grafted varieties are often the embryo tips of the grape seedlings, and then the young shoots cultivated by cell technology. And those new companies that adopt new techniques are the embryo tips of the vines......"
An Feng patted Miss Baroness on the shoulder: "I have nothing to say about your persistence...... Well, business is business, how much are you going to pay for my jewelry company? β
Mademoiselle Baroness smiled and replied, "I turned eighteen in March of this year, and then I started my adult journey, and then I asked them to investigate the new jewelry companies around the world, which are more in Japan, but their designs are full of oriental flavor, which is not very suitable for our family style.
One of my long list is Sunbird Jewelry. Although your company only produces cheap jewelry for the common people, and likes to replace natural gemstones with all kinds of artificial gemstones, I investigated, and there are only two designers in your company, no, maybe three, and you are one of the less famous and irresponsible designers in your company.
In addition, your company is not equipped with a professional jewelry cutting, polishing, and carving factory, of course, how to polish and cut is a trade secret, and most companies will not disclose it to outsiders, but the restless handsome man in your company often goes in and out of a certain place in New York, and we find that there is often a huge amount of electricity consumption, so we suspect ......"
An Feng laughed suddenly, Miss Baroness must have stepped up her investigation to investigate Sunbird Jewelry Company after she came into contact with him, and she actually learned to use big data streams for intelligence monitoring without a teacher.
That's right, the place where Oldney frequents is the jewelry processing factory set up by Anfeng, which originally relied on Dr. Tom's life science research laboratory to produce various artificial gemstones such as moissanite, artificial tanzanite, and artificial diamonds in batches, and at the same time, it was also controlled by CNC machine tools to laser cut diamonds...... All of the above processes require a great deal of electricity, and Mademoiselle Baroness sensed anomalies in the electricity consumption of her house from the place where it was forged as a garage for a private house.
"You know, artificial moissanite and man-made diamonds are patented, and my factory is ......"
Miss Baroness laughed: "I know that your factory is a place for illegal pirated production of artificial gemstones, but it is said that your teacher once had a study to use silicon germanium bone to replace human bones, and it is said that now the bone regeneration technique has entered the human test ......."
Speaking of this, Miss Baron suddenly remembered something, and immediately asked, "I heard that one of your teacher's female students is named Eli Suren?" Now she has become independent from the CIA and opened a longevity beauty hospital. It is said that she used genetic correction techniques to make people's epidermal cells more perfect and live longer...... You know how to do it, right? β
A woman's pursuit of beauty really overpowered everything, Miss Baron was still coveting An Feng's jewelry factory just now, and in a blink of an eye, she was crooked, and began to ask An Feng about beauty and longevity.
"Come on, you're beautiful enough, and you still have plastic surgery, aren't you afraid that you will bring disaster to the country and the people?" As soon as An Feng spoke, he immediately regretted it again, because there is no saying abroad that women are so beautiful that they will bring disaster to the country and the people, Princess Mary is very beautiful, and the Louis dynasty of France is not responsible for Queen Mary's beauty, but on her behavior.
In the same way, the fall of the Plantagenet dynasty was not in the beauty of women, but in the wrongdoings of beautiful women.
In all dynasties, every country has perished, and the crime is not because of the beauty of women, of course, some countries are exceptional.
Mademoiselle Baroness really didn't understand this disguised compliment, she reached out and stroked her hair, and replied: "When I was very young, my grandparents told me that beauty is also a scarce resource, and beauty is also a kind of strength, and it is also a way to reduce costs, of course, you are the only exception. When a beautiful person like me opens up to you, you won't give me an inch...... per share. USD. β
The Sunbird Jewelry Company set up by An Feng and Odney is a small company, even a micro company, the investment amount of the two is only about 30 million, and after running for so many years, the share capital has increased to 50 million US dollars, if Miss Baroness is per share. Dollar Acquisition...... Stop, stop, An Feng was led into a misunderstanding by Miss Baron, he had no intention of selling his company, or even a controlling stake in the company.
"No, no, this is not a matter of capital increase, my company is a wholly-owned company, which is fully funded and controlled by several of our founders, and we have no intention of selling it at present."
Miss Baron chuckled: "Then I buy three thousand shares and leave ten million shares for each of the three of you, do you think it's good?" Miss Baron gently shook An Feng's arm and begged with a face: "I think you can understand that I have to take a controlling stake in the company." β
How old was Mademoiselle Baron, who had just turned eighteen seven months earlier, and who had been so shrewd in the running of a business, where had she learned...... Of course, she doesn't need to learn from books, hundreds of years of old families, they have a group of loyal old employees, and as long as the company is rich, there are a large number of business wizards every day to recommend themselves to them, so they don't need to learn anything, they will be told what they should know.
The net assets are about 50 million yuan, and now the other party Kenbei premium acquisition of An Feng's shares, to be honest, this price is okay, and this is a win-win result, Sunbird can rely on a century-old brand-name enterprise, not to mention that the sales channels have been broadened, the grade has also been improved, and the annual jewelry promotion meeting, there is no need to spend a lot of publicity money, directly attached to the old enterprises.
After this matter was agreed, the Baroness nodded with satisfaction, her months-long companionship finally paid off, in her opinion, the most valuable thing about the Sunbird Company was not the modern machinery and equipment, but the twins among the founders, Audney and An Feng.
According to the provisions of the company law, there can be only two founders, when the Sunbird Jewelry Company was founded, Han Zhiyan was also named, of course, she was one of the insignificant ones, but the sale of the company still needed her permission, so after the two agreed, they began to say goodbye to the Youquan Sanatorium, they went down the mountain, left BolΓvar, and flew to New York together.
The specific negotiation of the acquisition will also require the presence of Wu Xiyue, who is now an independent monitor of Austin, and lawyer Steven will also come forward to provide legal support for the acquisition......
One day back in New York, An Feng went straight to the villa where Han Zhiyan lived, he needed to transfer the hundreds of millions of cash hidden in the villa to the underground of the Sakura Villa, of course, Han Zhiyan was also another nominal shareholder of Bird of Paradise Jewelry Company, and she also needed to sign and approve the sale of the company.
When he arrived in front of the villa, it was commuting time, and An Feng was a little worried that Han Zhiyan was not in New York. When approaching the villa, he suddenly remembered that he and Han Zhiyan had not seen each other for more than a year, and he didn't know how the other party was doing, maybe the other party had found a new boyfriend this year, maybe the other party had married.
Seeing the gate of the villa from afar, An Feng was quietly excited in his heart, and when he saw a red Porsche driving out of the gate, An Feng felt relieved - although he had never seen this car, he knew that this car could only be Han Zhiyan's newly bought car, such a bright and flamboyant red is only liked by Chinese people, and for Westerners, red is a dangerous color, and few people buy red cars.
The red Porsche drove out of the villa gate unhurriedly, the electronic automatic door slowly closed behind Porsche, An Feng slapped his car horn, reduced his speed, and slowly met the opposite vehicle, and Porsche did not seem to find An Feng's car's greeting attitude, and when it was confirmed that the villa door was closed, Porsche accelerated sharply, and the engine roared and staggered with An Feng.
When the two sides met, the other party did not slow down, which made An Feng stunned for a moment.
I didn't know each other on the other side.
He reached out to pat the car horn, but his hand was raised high, he shook his head slightly, put his hand on the steering wheel again, and kept his original speed as he approached the villa gate.
The electronic lock of the villa gate identified the RF card on An Feng's body, and the iron fence door slowly opened, and at this moment, Porsche, who could hardly see the shadow, suddenly braked sharply at high speed, and Han Zhiyan in the car looked at the gate of her villa from the rearview mirror, she frowned, tilted her head, and seemed to be thinking about something, Qu Jin in the car urged: "Let's go, we're going to be late." β
At this time, An Feng drove into the villa slowly, and the gate of the villa began to close after An Feng's car entered, Han Zhiyan witnessed all this on the rearview mirror, and she nodded heavily in the car: "That's right, it's Feng Feng...... No wonder when I staggered just now, the car on the opposite side honked at me, and sure enough, my man came back
Qu Jin tilted her head and thought about it, and immediately understood what Han Zhiyan meant, she opened her mouth and inhaled gently: "It's so meaty, what?" You're saying the dead man's head has come home...... Hmph, he still remembers coming back. β
Han Zhiyan hung up the reverse gear, began to turn the front of the car, and replied while twisting the steering wheel: "What do you say, he has never treated me badly, although he didn't show up this year, but the benefits I deserve, such as dividends and dividends, are not missing a cent, you say, what do I have to complain about?" β
Qu Jin pouted and thought about it, sighed, and echoed: "That's right, although this man is unreliable, his money ...... Ahem, I mean, he's always been reliable for your financial security. β
Han Zhiyan glared at the other party, lightly clicked the accelerator, and the Porsche that turned the direction began to accelerate again, and when it approached the gate of the villa, the big iron gate opened again, swallowing the red Porsche in one gulp...... Sure enough, An Feng was standing in front of his car, he seemed to know that Han Zhiyan would definitely return, and he was smiling in the direction of the villa gate, and when he saw the Porsche parked beside him, he opened his arms.
Han Zhiyan jumped out of the car and walked quickly to An Feng's side, and the two hugged gently, but this hug was just a courtesy, not an intimacy. After hugging, Han Zhiyan let go of her hand and looked at the handsome young man who was taller than her and smiled brightly: "Why do you want to come back?" β
An Feng opened his mouth, originally wanting to explain the purpose of his return, but when he said this, he seemed to be a little idle in the Three Treasures Palace, and when the words came to his mouth, he changed the topic: "Have you recently switched to work in New York, and how long can you stay in New York?" β
Qu Jin interjected on the side: "You, don't you know what to do, Sister Han has been promoted, she is now the deputy head of the ground support department, and she is responsible for arranging the placement of flight attendants in New York for airlines......"
This position is equivalent to the company's "placement supervisor".
According to Qu Jin's introduction, the airline rented a building in New York to house the temporary residence of Chinese-speaking flight attendants in New York. Han Zhiyan is like a senior translator, responsible for coordinating the lives of these flight attendants with the locals, as well as coordinating the legal issues encountered on a daily basis, and so on. And this work does not need to fly in the air all year round, so Han Zhiyan lives a regular "9 to 5" office worker life.
It is said that Han Zhiyan and Qu Jin are in a hurry to go to the banquet tonight because among the flight attendants she is responsible for managing, a flight attendant is engaged to the pilot, and the two parties agreed to hold a banquet in New York to announce the news of the engagement...... Of course, the next flight attendant will resign and return home to be a housewife with husband and children. During this time, Qu Jin was also transferred to ground support through Han Zhiyan's relationship. She almost took over Han Zhiyan's original position, rotating between the magic capital and New York every other month, responsible for the ground management and safety and reassurance of flight attendants.
In this way, the two sides stood in front of the car and exchanged each other's latest information in a calm tone. There were no big fluctuations in their emotions with each other. So, this reunion after a long absence, the two are not like a pair of lovers who have reunited after a long absence, but like a pair of old friends who are very close, there is no excitement and no tears, but they just tell their respective living conditions after the breakup in a calm tone.
Instead of exchanging information between the two sides, in fact, An Feng didn't say much, mainly because Han Zhiyan kept talking. An Feng only told Han Zhiyan that he had joined the medical team to aid Africa and went to Africa, where communication conditions were backward, to carry out medical treatment for one year. He didn't explain much about saying goodbye to himself. At the same time, Han Zhiyan, who was accustomed to the elusive nature of the other party, did not ask too many questions.
In fact, Han Zhiyan's heart was like a cat scratching at this moment, she really wanted to ask An Feng why he suddenly disappeared, wanted to ask the other party how he was doing during this time, and wanted to ask if the other party missed her, but now she is always a little timid when she gets along with An Feng. She knows the difference in Taoist customs, An Feng, who has lived abroad since childhood, has a strong Western flavor, maybe in some aspects, she seems to be a concerned inquiry, maybe the other party will think that it is a desire to control, too much involved in the other party's life.
So she could only endure the cat scratch mentality, pretending not to care about the separation, pretending not to care about the other party's behavior, and just talking about herself lightly. But Qu Jin couldn't hold it back, she couldn't help but interject: "What are you?" Are you coming back for vacation this time, or do you have something to look for? How long can you stay? How do you plan to disappear this time? Say it, say it, and you won't show up for no reason. β
In an instant, An Feng was also a little ashamed, thought about it, and decided not to hide or avoid it. While beckoning Han Zhiyan and Qu Jin to enter the building, he confessed his purpose: "Bird of Paradise Jewelry Company, do you know the way."
When Han Zhiyan heard the name of this company, she felt a little embarrassed, a trace of panic flashed, she bit her lower lip, and immediately replied: "Zhilu Dao Zhilu Dao, of course I remember." Back then, you pulled me to participate in the shares, and I didn't pay a penny to get 10% of the shares. While you're away, this company has sent me my share of the dividends every year......"
Han Zhiyan paused slightly, pointed to his red Porsche, and quickly added: "You see, this car was bought with dividends." In the first year, this company shared more than 1.2 million dividends from me, and you are not there, so I don't know what to do with this money. The next year they gave me more than three million, and I couldn't help but use the money to buy the car, but I didn't touch the rest of the money, really. β
An Feng smiled and shook his head, he waved his hand, and further explained: "Someone wants to buy the Bird of Paradise Jewelry Company, I have already negotiated with the other shareholders, we sell 55% of the shares in our hands, and the price offered by the other party is very good, so I suggest that you also sell 55% of the shares in your hands." β
Qu Jin talked to Han Zhiyan almost at the same time, and Qu Jin's words were full of surprise: "You mean that Sister Han can use this dividend at her discretion?" β
Han Zhiyan's words were full of panic: "No, no, no, I said that it was good, I am a nominal shareholder, and I didn't pay a dollar, it's not good...... What did you say? What do you mean, huh? β¦β¦ Well, I will do what you tell me to do. β
