Chapter 1207: Yong Strength
Ten minutes later, Maggs returned to the living room and continued to watch TV with his wife, when he suddenly said, "It's Senin's phone." ”
Senin was one of a long list of names for Her Excellency, and only those who were in good relationships were qualified to use this name in their titles, and now the entire empire could call her so, and she could be counted on one hand.
Vinica didn't change too much at all, she just nodded, her attention still on the TV.
Thankfully, Vinica is not the heir to the title of her original family, otherwise there is a good chance that a war will break out between the two women.
Her Excellency was riding a horse with an army and almost snatched her husband at her own wedding, but fortunately, she still completed the wedding ceremony with Magus in the end, and as the victor Vinica maintained the attitude of a victor, she gave up the pursuit very "generously".
But when it comes to this woman, her heart will definitely not be as calm as she appears.
After Maggs said a word, he found that there was nothing abnormal, so he didn't mention it anymore, and the two continued to watch the plot in the TV series continue to promote, and he also kept commenting on all kinds of nonsense content in it.
The next morning Durin received a call from Maggs, and the two of them exchanged air on the phone, and he did not interfere with Durin's thoughts, which is not what a smart person should do.
Whether you like someone or hate someone, don't interfere with other people's decisions, it will only make people hate you or hate you more, respect is not just a word, a word, but an action.
After a casual chat with Maggs, Durin hung up the phone, then turned back to his chair and sat down, "How's it going?
Sitting across from him were his brother Merlin and Merlin's wife, Suri, and the newly formed "Imperial Applied Technology" had been registered in the state of Ambiluo, and Durin used his governor's power to give the company a super preferential policy of five years of tax cuts.
This is not a violation of any laws and regulations, nor is it an abuse of power, the empire has always encouraged the private sector to promote scientific progress independently, and any enterprise linked to science and technology will have corresponding support policies.
Doolin only gave a little preference to the new company according to the upper limit of this policy standard, which is not an abuse of power.
After the establishment of the new company, more than a dozen different products were launched in one go, and unexpectedly, the high-tech products that scientists thought would be popular on Science Island were frequently received coldly, and the sales volume was miserable.
On the contrary, they believe that there is no value, and that they cannot reflect the development of society by science, such as small household appliances used to heat meals, and the kind of polymer fiber fabrics that have become popular and sell well throughout the empire.
In particular, the "Microwave Waveguide High-frequency Food Processor II" used to heat meals was directly named "Microwave Oven" by Duhring, which detonated the home appliance market, and it has become one of the essential household appliances for families in less than half a month after it was listed, and its sales volume is second only to television.
But TVs can be purchased through similar installments, but microwave ovens cannot, which means that without the cable group's current marketing strategy, microwave ovens would definitely be the number one seller.
The popularity of these products has led to the attention of the companies that produce them, and many consortia and venture capitalists have contacted Merlin to acquire a stake in the company, both legally and illegally.
However, when they learned that Merlin's surname was Kersma and that he was Durin's older brother, that thought was dispelled.
Although there is no idea of buying and selling, capital will not stop chasing profits, and under the operation of some capitalists and capital forces, some people in the three major exchanges have begun to call for the listing of Imperial Applied Technology as soon as possible.
The Securities and Finance Commission also sent someone to ask Merlin that if the company had the idea of going public, then the Securities and Finance Commission would speed up all the necessary procedures for them to make the company go public as soon as possible.
Merlin was suddenly a real celebrity, and this was the second time that Doolin had met him since he settled in the state of Ambiluo, and the rest of the time he was too busy socializing to get out of his body.
At this time, the spring breeze was full of Merlin's nod again and again, although the carved ivory cigarette holder was not as dazzling as gold, but it could also attract the attention of others, "The air here is very good, very similar to the environment at home, I am fed up with the air that smells of engine oil on the side of Namilindes." ”
"And there are some nice rivers here, I like fishing, I like to enjoy nature, and this place fits my life requirements very well. ”
Durin nodded, then looked at Suri, "What about you, how are you doing here away from the familiar surroundings and friends?"
Suri nodded again and again in flattery, she was a little nervous, Durin has changed too much, from a dismissed mayor to a governor in just a few years, plus some other names make Suri a little restrained.
She firmly grasped the handle of Kun Bao with both hands and bent down slightly, "What Merlin wants to say is what I want to say, the scenery here is like the place described in the storybook......", she glanced at Merlin, but Merlin didn't notice this, "And I have made a lot of new friends here, everyone is very warm and polite, I am very satisfied." ”
Whether or not what Suri said was in her heart, at least she cared a lot about Merlin and her current status, which is why Dohrin took a fancy to her at first glance and wanted them to become husband and wife.
Merlin is a ...... In popular parlance, he is a modern zero-responsibility man who is unwilling to take on too much responsibility and loves to mingle with girls.
Only a girl like Suri can put up with him and maintain the marriage, but it's not too bad now, at least they have a child, for the sake of the child's face, Merlin basically won't divorce Suri.
Unless he wants to face the mixed doubles of Mr. and Mrs. Ksma and try to survive.
"I'll leave all the company matters to you, you can hire a few more professional managers, it doesn't cost much, but you can handle everything properly for you. In addition, the plan I gave you last time is to be implemented as soon as possible, and you are falling behind in this area. Durin gave Merlin a cigarette and pulled Merlin to the window, after all, there were other people in the room and they were women.
It's true that Durin is a jerk, but sometimes he's a gentleman too.
He said that the plan is for Merlin to cultivate a group of loyal consumers as soon as possible and increase the competitiveness of the new company in the market, but Merlin has some ideas in this regard.
Durin's plan is actually very simple, that is, to send money and things, if you want to beautify it a little, it is to form a national consumer club, select some loyal customers to join, and then hold various activities regularly.
For example, take everyone on a trip, or give them some new products for free use, or take them to visit the production process of the factory, or even listen to their valuable suggestions for a fee.
Cultivating loyal consumer groups, and then promoting people's habitual consumption, is an inevitable trend in the future.
But Merlin thinks the plan will cost a lot of money, first of all just to build the club, which will cost a lot of money. Not to mention him, just with Durin's status, it is impossible to treat a place as a club, and it definitely needs to be carefully selected and decorated.
After this large amount of expenses is over, there will be periodic "waste", and he himself has calculated that if the club absorbs 10,000 people and invests 100 yuan a year in each person, then at least 1 million will be wasted every year.
Coupled with the maintenance of the club and other expenses such as staff, two or three million a year will be smashed in this.
Even if Durin had money, he probably wouldn't be able to afford such a waste for long, so he kept delaying, and so far the whole plan is still in its infancy - the selection of the club's location.
Seeing Merlin's passive appearance without saying a word, Durin put his arm around his shoulders, "Remember that day, the day I left home?"
Merlin was stunned for a moment, then a reminiscing expression appeared on his face, and a faint smile appeared on his face, "Why don't you remember? ”
The two brothers laughed at the same time, and Suri sat on the side and laughed inexplicably.
Durin sighed, "yes, it looks like Mr. Kersma gave me some money not long ago, do you know how much?"
Merlin nodded, "Twenty dollars, Mason and I were still thinking about stealing a few dollars when you went to bed at night, but I didn't expect you to go so fast, and you didn't give us a chance at all!"
This time it was Doolin's turn to look at him with wide eyes, "If the first king and the gods knew that you would have such thoughts, they would definitely kill you, and you actually wanted to steal the money that Mr. Kersma gave me to ensure my survival." ”
Instead of feeling ashamed, Merlin laughed, "If you leave a day late, we'll get it." ”
Durin smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "As a result, the money was lost...... I don't know which bitch stole my money, and I was penniless at the time, almost desperate to go home. ”
"But I held on, I didn't go back, I just wanted you to know, let the world know that even if I was cornered, as long as I wasn't killed immediately, I could climb from hell back to the kingdom of God!"
"We're not rich, so what are you afraid of losing, my brother?", Durin let go of his arms and turned to face Merlin, he opened his arms, embraced the sun, and the confident smile on his face completely bloomed at this moment, dazzling and almost impossible to open, "If these things leave us one day, then we will get them back with both hands!"
"It's not terrible to lose, Merlin, but if you don't even have the mental preparation to lose, that's the most terrible thing!"
