Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Deflated Queen
Irina heard Duchamp say, "What I hate is that this map is not big enough!" Suddenly there was a roar in my head.
Duchamp was telling the truth. Accustomed to more than 100 countries in the global village, four oceans and five continents, coming to this planet with only one continent, I really feel that I have fallen into an inconspicuous corner of the universe.
And when Irina heard it, it was a different taste. As the heir of the Ryan Ford family, since she was sensible, she has taken the Lyan Ford Society as the dominant continent and the number one manufacturer in the mainland as her lifelong goal, and she has been thinking day and night, nothing more than how to consolidate the empire's market and how to expand exports.
And now, she heard a man standing in front of her, nonchalantly saying that the world was too small to accommodate his dreams.
Duchamp looked at Irina and continued to strike mercilessly: "The Lane Ford Society relies on the political support of the Empire, sits on the Empire's huge arms market, and has become the Empire's largest manufacturing enterprise. But how does it compare to the Epstein Foundation? Although the Autonomous Region of Leman was the size of a corner of the empire, the Epstein Foundation was the continent's number one manufacturer of power conductors. Although the Epstein Consortium has strong technical strength, it is inferior to Chase Central Workshop in the use of high-precision guidance, and Chase Central Workshop is only a small Liber royal family behind it. It can be seen that as a commercial overlord dominating the mainland, the power behind it is only a bluff, and the real strength depends on the internal strength of the enterprise. ”
Irina sat down in her chair in a daze, and all these words of Duchamp spoke to her heart.
On the surface, as the world's largest arms manufacturer, Lane Ford receives a large number of orders every year. But Irina as the heir of the family knows that in those orders, there are countless old technologies and disgusting waste of resources, which directly create the overall backwardness of the empire in guiding technology.
In particular, after the prime minister came to power, he tried his best to promote the development of a large number of steam tanks, and the R&D personnel within the company have repeatedly expressed their dissatisfaction with the performance of such products developed using outdated technology.
Compared with its rivals, the Epstein Foundation, the Lineford Society is becoming less and less popular with the market in areas of competition other than arms. This is also the reason why Irina immediately wanted to take it over after seeing the products of Luye Home Appliances.
Irina suddenly noticed that the kid in front of her was unusual. She needs to be reassessed.
After a moment of silence, Irina asked, "If Green Leaf Appliances doesn't cooperate with Lane Ford Society, how will it develop next?" ”
Duchamp said resolutely: "Then I will go back immediately and transfer the ownership of the existing product to Serta, and she will find someone to sell it for cash, even if it is sold to you, it doesn't matter." And I myself will negotiate cooperation with the Epstein consortium, or seek financing from IBC, I believe that with the amazing vision of President Dita, it is not impossible to give tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of mira of investment. ”
When Irina heard Duchamp talk about these business predators on the mainland as if they were his neighbors, and when she heard 'IBC' and 'Dita', she had another headache and tried her best to save it: "Why is this the case, the empire is the largest consumer market on the entire continent, why bother to go far." She flattened her posture and asked in a compromise tone, "Then if you are asked to make conditions, in what way can we cooperate?" ”
Duchamp didn't expect that this famous strong woman in the business world would also be soft, and said: "That's not for us to join the Lane Ford Club, but for you to take a stake in Luye Home Appliances." ”
Irina exclaimed, "This can't be. ”
"What I mean is that you have invested in Luye Household Appliances in your personal name, after all, you are a good hand in business."
Irina asked curiously, "What's the difference between my personal stake and Lineford's stake?" ”
Duchamp sneered and said: "The difference is big, first of all, you are not currently the president of the Lane Ford Society, but only the heir. Secondly, the surname of the Lane Ford Club is not all Lane Ford, especially in the two years since the Prime Minister came to power, there have been many more fresh faces on the board of directors of your company, and the decision-making of your company must have been more difficult and procrastinated. ”
Irina didn't expect Duchamp to even know the secrets of the board of directors of Ryan Ford, and her evaluation of Duchamp couldn't help but climb steadily, and she was even more curious about his mysterious origin. Thinking of being able to invest in Luye Household Appliances in his own name, he can get rid of the burden of the board of directors, and I feel relieved.
She looked up seriously and asked, "What is the maximum number of shares I can get?" ”
Duchamp said: "Our shareholders are to play an irreplaceable role in the management of the product, and the number of shares you can take depends on what you exchange for something, but the upper limit should not exceed 25 percent." ”
Irina weighed it and said, "With my ability, it is more than enough to get this twenty-five percent equity." Thinking that he only got such a little in the end, he said unwillingly: "I guess the price offered will blind you." ”
"Before joining the green leaf, don't say who is blind, the green leaf civil guide office is at No. 217 Heiyin Street, if you have prepared the application documents, go directly to the office to negotiate. It's getting late today, so we're leaving. ”
Coming out of the Ryan Ford General Store, Duchamp looked at the sky, it was already a red moon hanging, and ordered the sales staff to close the stall. Lisa saw that Serta's face was blue and her forehead was sweating, and she hurriedly hugged her. Celta leaned against the maid and said, "I'm too tired to open on the first day today, so let's go to the office and rest for a while." ”
Walking to the guide office, Serta threw away her handbag, and the whole person collapsed directly on the sofa.
Lisa exclaimed, "Madame, what's wrong with you?" ”
Serta said tiredly, "It's okay, it's just that I have too many things to do today, and I'm a little tired." Seeing Duchamp preparing to make tea like no one else, he couldn't help but say, "Steri, listening to the conversation between you and Irina today is really too sad and thrilling." ”
Duchamp fiddled with the tea set, relaxed his spirit, and said with a smile: "Talking to such a big man is naturally sad and laborious, but fortunately, from now on, we probably don't need to add new shareholders." ”
Celta lay down for a while, saw the salesperson come back, and struggled to get up again, counted today's sales with everyone, arranged tomorrow's work goals, and discussed the next work plan.
After today's battle, she became more aware of Duchamp's extraordinary, and secretly decided in her heart that early tomorrow morning, she would take the initiative to cut some of her shares in order to free up Irina's shares.
Duchamp is actually quite mindful of competing with Irina today, but he just doesn't want people to see it. Seeing that the employees were working overtime, he proposed to cook dinner for everyone, which caused everyone to cheer, and now everyone knows that Duchamp is a god chef.
Goethe flashed in and said in surprise, "Hey, why are you so pale?" Got a master? ”
Duchamp thought it was another cold joke, and said lazily: "Young master, I have been white since I was a child. ”
Goethe said seriously: "It's not that your face is white, I see that your mental power seems to have been greatly impacted, and when I am not there in the afternoon, what danger have you encountered?" ”
Duchamp thought of the blonde businesswoman's aggressive face, and said tiredly, "Alas, it must be at least a witch with a ninth-level spiritual power." ”
Goethe was about to say something when he suddenly heard Emma exclaim: "Red Moon, Red Moon has really appeared!" ”
They hurried out to the terrace and looked at the sky for a full moon, which gradually poked out from behind the clouds, revealing a scarlet glow that reflected the starry sky and the city in a strange color.
