'Tick'

'Tick'

Perhaps a little bored, Camp Gillette was sitting in a modest room playing with the pen in his hand.

That's right, the room, not the office.

In a way, Gillette's room serves as an office and a bedroom. In addition to a desk, there is only a sofa, a wardrobe and a few ordinary oil paintings hanging on the wall.

Unless it's home, Gillette usually rests on the sofa, and even has a quilt in the closet, which can be said to be extremely embarrassing...

In 1901, Gillette finally ended his 24-year career as a salesman and founded the Gillette Insurance Razor Company. After owning its own company, Gillette further developed new materials for making blades, making blades thinner, more flexible, and easier to clamp between metal sheets. At the same time, Gillette further absorbed funds.

In 1902, Gillette finally began mass production of the new razor he had developed. Unexpectedly, this new product was unsalable. In one year, Gillette sold a total of 51 knife holders and 168 blades.

One year, 51 knife holders and 168 blades...

With such performance, it would be incomprehensible if Gillette was not down.

Until now, Gillette has not figured out why his company's sales performance would be so poor last year. Gillette felt that the most important thing now was to find out why the razors were not selling.

It's just that he's been thinking about it for months, but he still hasn't figured out why.

"If we continue like this, I'm afraid we're going to close the door," Gillette sighed as he put the pen in the pen holder, looking up at the ceiling above him.

Just as Gillette was sighing there, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in..."

At the moment, Gillette didn't have much to play the score, so he just raised his voice very casually when he heard the knock on the door.

Permission was given, and the door was pushed open.

Walking in from outside the office was Gillette's secretary, a young man in his early 30s.

"What's the matter?" Raising his head, Gillette asked casually.

At this point, in fact, Gillette also has some self-defeating meaning. After all, in a whole year, only more than 50 knife holders and less than 200 blades were sold, which is really shocking...

However, unlike Gillette's casual attitude, the secretary who walked in from the outside was excited. "Sir, someone wants to see you..."

"See me?" Gillette was stunned for a moment, but also noticed the secretary's expression. "Who is it?"

"Mr. Yan Shaoyan from New York!" Seeing that Gillette was finally in good spirits, the secretary hurriedly replied.

"Yan Shao?" Gillette felt that the name seemed a little familiar, and it took him a while to remember. "Is that the Chinese who invented tungsten filament?"

Just when Yan Shao and the others took the train to Boston, the matter of tungsten filament had spread all over the world, and Gillette would also read the newspaper every day, so naturally he would not fail to notice the news.

But he couldn't figure out what Yan Shao was doing when he came to him, after all, the two industries were completely incompatible, and his way of thinking was similar to Edison's.

As if seeing the doubts in Gillette's heart, the secretary spoke.

"Mr. Yan said, I hope to talk to you about some business matters..."

"Oh?" Hearing that it was about business, Gillette was completely refreshed. "Ask him to come up..."

The reason why tungsten filament can be spread so widely is because of the importance it represents, and on the other hand, because of the sky-high patent fees.

The patent transfer fee of 4.7 million US dollars can be said to be an extremely rare huge amount of money in this period, and Yan Shao has also jumped into the ranks of millionaires. In Gillette's view, if he can get Yan Shao's investment, then his company may still have the possibility of turning around...

After the secretary left the 'office', Gillette went to the closet and looked in the mirror, trying to put his best foot forward with his future partner.

However, when the secretary walked into the room with Yan Shao and the others, before Gillette could show a surprised look at Ileno and Katarina, he was already stunned by Yan Shao's words.

"I hope to be able to acquire your company..."Looking at the founder in front of him who single-handedly created the Gillette Company, Yan Shao said his intentions bluntly.

"What!"

When Yan Shao and the others left Gillette Company, the boss of this company had already changed

The acquisition went so smoothly mainly because of Gillette's current predicament. If it is replaced after a few years, I am afraid it will not be so simple.

However, after selling the company and the patent, Gillette himself did not leave the company, but became the manager of the company at the invitation of Yan Shao—————— it was a joke to let Elano and them manage something, not to mention that no one would let a woman be the manager of the razor company.

After buying Gillette for $150,000, Yan Shao didn't even change the company's name, and also gave Gillette a lot of autonomy and a commitment to additional investment, and also gave him a considerable share of the share...

In this regard, Eleno and Katarina, and even Gillette himself are a little puzzled, after all, under the management of Gillette himself, the current Gillette company is really a little down, so Yan Shao's treatment is inevitably a little too generous in the eyes of others.

Especially Gillette himself, he even had a feeling of being appreciated, and when he looked at Yan Shao, who was more than 20 years younger than him, his eyes were full of gratitude.

will let Gillette stay, in addition to believing in his ability, it is actually a helpless move for Yan Shao...

There are too few people under him who can be used...

Although he already has a million fortunes, he is the only one who can be called his subordinate, but Li Yin is still a talent in science and engineering, and he doesn't know anything about doing business. There was no way, and Yan Shao could only invite Gillette to stay.

As for those treatments given? In Yan Shao's opinion, what he gave was not much.

Historically, Gillette did find himself in a great dilemma, but he soon discovered the problem and found a solution.

By 1917, Gillette had set a sales record of 120 million pieces, occupying 80% of the market, and had 44 overseas branches...

Such terrifying sales are entirely due to the ability of Gillette himself.

If you want the horse to run, and you want the horse not to eat grass, it's impossible to think about it?

If such a talent can be entrapped, then compared with the benefits he may bring, this effort is really not worth mentioning.

Of course, before leaving, Yan Shao did not forget to give Gillette some advice, some opinions that Gillette came up with later.

In business, Yan Shao can only be regarded as a rookie, but in later life, he has seen the information about Gillette's company, and he is also very clear about the difficulties and solutions that Gillette encountered at that time, and what he told Gillette is these...

In the train station, Elano and Caterina were sitting on a bench chatting, although the two were just sitting quietly, whether it was Eleno's demure and elegant temperament, or Caterina's untamable wild beauty, they deeply attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd.

"What a rare beauty..."

"yes, it's much better than the one in my house..."

"Cut, compare yourself to that in your house? That's a lot stronger, it's just the difference between a slime and a succubus..."

"Hey, I warn you not to say that about my wife...... Although I think what you said makes a lot of sense, eh, wife, why are you here..."

Since novels such as "The Dark Elves" and "The Lord of the Rings" became bestsellers, fantasy creatures such as slimes are not known to women and children in Europe and the United States, but many people have heard of them. However, the focus at the moment is not the slimes, but the two sitting on the benches.

Looking at Eleno and Caterina on the bench, many people's hearts were hot, after all, such a beauty is really rare to see, let alone two at a time. Just when a few men wanted to get acquainted (accosted), a yellow man walked up to the two with a few tickets.

The racial discrimination in the United States is much stronger than in Europe, and when they saw that yellow man wanted to talk to him, many people showed mocking eyes, and some even wanted to come forward to teach him a lesson, and by the way, get acquainted with the two people on the bench...

But just when they were about to take action, they were dumbfounded to see that the yellow man was sitting between the two of them very naturally, intimately hugging the slender waist of the beauty.

"You said you didn't buy a ticket to New York, but to Atlanta?"

Looking at the train ticket that Yan Shao took back, Caterina said with some surprise.

"Atlanta, what are we going to do there?" Hearing Caterina say this, Yan Shao took the train ticket from his hand, and Elano also asked a little strangely.

"Of course, we are continuing our acquisition journey..."Kissed each of them on their cheeks, not paying attention to the jealous eyes around them, Yan Shao smiled 'hehe'. There's a company there, and I used to love the drinks they made..."

Glancing at the ceiling with some nostalgia, Yan Shao muttered.

"Coca-Cola..."
