Ten minutes ago.

Hong Kong Island, Stan Hang Street, Central, in front of Luk Yu's Tea House.

Carla Jaeger Beneteau, she looked up nervously and looked at the sign above the tea room.

The traditional Chinese character on the signboard "Lu Yu Tea Room", which Carla does not recognize.

Fortunately, under the Chinese signboard, the English name of Lu Yu Tea Room is written in very eye-catching English.

This makes Karla not completely incomprehensible.

Last night, Calla came from France overnight.

Looking at this sign now, she guessed in her heart that this should be a similar existence to the cafes in France.

Chinese people like to drink tea, even if she is French, she has heard of it for a long time.

After passing the security check and search of the female bodyguard, Carla successfully entered this very flavorful Chinese teahouse.

In the corridor inside the teahouse, Cala nervously waited for the call of the world's richest man inside.

She is one of the sales managers of the luxury yacht division of the French Beneteau Group, mainly for the wealthy in the United States.

Her position, within the Beneteau Group, is relatively deserted.

Because even if Beneteau's luxury yachts are well built, they have always been much less accepted in the rich circle than traditional luxury yacht manufacturers such as Azimut, Betty, Ferretti and Riva.

What's more, the American tycoons prefer traditional luxury brands such as Azimut and Ferretti more than Europeans.

Playing with luxury and haute couture, the New World has never been able to play the old Europe.

No matter how good the technology of Beneteau Group is, its reputation in the United States is also very poor.

Even in Europe itself, that's actually the case.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the sales department of the yacht subsidiary of Beneteau Group is still responsible for the American field, and Carla's work in Beneteau Group is relatively uncomfortable.

As the saying goes, misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and fortune and misfortune are relied upon.

Because it is the rich people in charge of the American direction, Karla's performance has been very poor.

This makes it difficult for her, who has an excellent background, to get ahead within the group.

However, a few days ago, Beneteau Group's yacht company received an order from the United States.

A company, the Smith Family Fund, submitted an offer of interest to Beneteau Group.

It claims that the company intends to order several luxury sailing yachts and customize an ultra-luxury yacht in the Beneteau Group.

This is a rare order from Beneteau Group's wealthy luxury yachts in the United States.

The Beneteau Group attaches great importance to this, and Carla is in charge of this area, which is even more gratifying.

Wait for the Beneteau Group to find out the true identity of this guest, after it is the world's richest man Abel Smith.

Karla's job was almost snatched away.

Because of Abel Smith's relationship, the deserted department instantly became a sought-after department.

Fortunately, she has a very hard relationship and can't get ahead, but it's not so easy for others to rob her of her things.

The guest requests the Beneteau Group to provide door-to-door service.

Carla Yeagel Beneteau was ecstatic and rushed from France overnight.

She first ran to New York and found that Abel had gone to the kingdom of Han.

She didn't rest, and immediately ran to the back of the head.

He also found that Abel had left Shou Yi and went to Hong Kong Island.

Carla worked tirelessly to chase after Abel's fart. Behind the stock, he rushed to Xiangjiang from Shou Yi overnight.

For several days in a row, she spent most of her time in heaven......

Fortunately, this time, she finally waited for Abel on Hong Kong Island.

Now she is going to go to Abel, as a yacht ordering consultant sent by Beneteau Group, to provide door-to-door service for Abel.

In the corridor of Lu Yu's tea room, I waited for about a few minutes.

Karla, who was a little nervous, was finally informed that she could go inside to meet the richest man in the world.

Carla didn't rush in, but first picked up the small makeup mirror she carried with her and checked her appearance.

After realizing that nothing was wrong, she took a deep breath and lifted her spirits to walk inside.

Halfway through, she met the official who came out.

The old weed is not tall, only up to the shoulders of Carla, who is wearing high heels.

The old man nodded politely to her, and Karla smiled in response.

After responding, he didn't take two steps and appeared in front of Karla's eyes.

It was surrounded by a few bodyguards and some assistants, sitting alone at the classical Chinese dining table, holding chopsticks and skillfully tasting delicious Cantonese dim sum.

"Boss, Miss Beneteau is here."

Carla saw a man who looked like a butler, leaned over to Abel Smith, and said respectfully and softly.

This butler-like man, Carla has seen.

It was this man who personally went to the French headquarters of the Beneteau Group.

In the headquarters, even the chairman and the CEO were very respectful in front of him.

I didn't expect this kind of character to be just a housekeeper.

Cala thought about it, but quickly understood.

That's the housekeeper of the richest man in the world, facing such a housekeeper.

It seems understandable that the chairman of the Beneteau Group personally accompanied.

Carla thought wildly, watching Abel's attention shift from the food to herself.

Even though she has been doing psychological construction for a long time, Karla still feels a little nervous at this moment.

She also finally saw the face of Abel Smith.

It's too handsome, too.

Karla thought to herself.

Anna Wintour said that he was alive, walking in the human world as the incarnation of Apollo, as if it were not nonsense.

"Hello, Miss Beneteau. I'm Abel Smith, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Karla greeted herself with a smile as she saw him.

Although it was very nervous, after all, I had been preparing for so long.

Cala took a deep breath in a faint voice.

"Hello, Mr. Smith, my name is Carla Yeager-Beneteau. He is currently the Director of Beneteau Yachts, North America. We at Beneteau Yachts, one of the world's top yachting brands, have brought us some of the best sketches of our designers. Your yacht, we are sure to perfectly represent any of your preferences! ”

This long opening statement, to be honest, Cala had actually memorized it for a long time before meeting Abel.

At this time, in one breath, it was very smooth to read it all.

Karla herself breathed a sigh of relief.

When she saw the unusually handsome man in front of her, she smiled and nodded:

"The reason why I didn't go to Azimut or Ferretti, but to Beneteau, is because I have a crush on you."

Beneteau Group is the world's number one sailboat manufacturer and one of the world's largest motor yacht manufacturers.

However, its luxury yacht division was actually only established in the 80s of the last century.

At a time when brands such as Azimut and Riva were already known all over the world.

Beneteau was still a small company in France that produced fishing boats and sailboats.

After the death of its founder, Benjamin Beneteau, it almost went bankrupt.

Later, in the sixties of the last century, Benjamin Beneteau's granddaughter, Annie Beneteau Hus, and her brother André Beneteau, the siblings began to manage the company.

Since then, Beneteau has only risen to prominence, and in less than 40 years, it has become one of the largest manufacturers of motor yachts in France and Europe.

Abel approached Beneteau Group, one of his purposes was to order his first yacht from a company that was technologically advanced in all respects and was only a few well-known companies.

That's right, the first yacht for individuals.

Although Abel got a yacht "Ivanka" for Ikana, Anne and Jessica also have their own yachts.

He sent it all.

It's all very luxurious, worth tens of millions of dollars.

Ikana's is worth more than 100 million dollars.

But if someone takes a closer look, they will find that the richest man in the world does not even have a private yacht in his name.

This is mainly because Abel didn't like going to sea very much before.

Except that when he first started, he was invited by Ovitz to go to sea for a day and a night.

It's been almost three years now, and he's only been to sea a handful of times.

But people's interests always change, after the last visit to the "Mighty Donkey".

Abel has some interest in large luxury yachts.

He asked Smith to help him find a manufacturer of luxury yachts.

In a bunch of lists, the Smith Intelligence Group's recommendation for Beneteau Group is at the top of the list.

Abel read the information of the Smith Intelligence Order.

For a certain purpose, the yacht was ordered with the Beneteau Group.

This is the scene where Karla Yeeger Beneteau travels thousands of miles to provide door-to-door service today.

"Dear Smith, you don't have to worry. We at Beneteau have served many distinguished guests. As long as you talk to me about the yacht's facilities, decoration preferences, etc., I can come up with a preliminary sketch for you on the spot. ”

"Your yacht will be one of the best luxury yachts in the world!" ”

After speaking, she took out a set of picture albums from the bag that had been checked by security, which were pictures of the most cutting-edge and beautiful yachts of Beneteau yachts from the inside out.

From artistic design drawings to actual sample drawings, as well as special decoration versions that have been customized and modified by customers.

Carla continued to introduce in earnest:

"Mr. Smith, we recommend this 100-foot luxury sailing yacht you need – Beneteau Lagoon Catamaran Custom, which is now the flagship of our Beneteau Group's highest-end luxury sailing yachts. It is one of the milestones in the history of sailing as it breaks a record that no one has ever been able to beat. ”

"At the beginning, we won the approval of many princes and princes in the desert region with this drawing, and then look at this side, this is the finished photo purchased by other customers......"

Carla tries to make herself appear more professional.

She wants the world's richest man to buy as many products as possible from Beneteau Group in his own hands.

It is also because Abel's consultation with Beneteau is in addition to ordering special yachts.

In other respects, the main thing is to buy the strongest luxury sailing yacht in Beneteau.

I don't know what the requirements for the special yacht Abel wants to order.

Carla's main focus was on Beneteau's best suit, the world's number one luxury sailing yacht.

In this field, Beneteau is a globally invincible presence.

Azimut, Riva and the like, none of them can compare to Beneteau.

But in the introduction, Carla also found.

This super-rich man who was a little too handsome, except for the beginning, he looked at the drawings he took out a few times.

The rest of the time, when he introduced himself, he seemed to be staring at him all the time.

This made Carla think to herself, Abel Smith couldn't be trying to ...... to herself That's what, that's what.

Whether it is rumors in the elite circle of the rich circle, or news reported by the media.

This gentleman, in terms of women's se, is really not very good.

Carla also felt that he would have some kind of mind about himself, and it was very normal.

Karla has always been very confident in her appearance and appearance.

She is a typical French beauty.

Although France is becoming more and more "black" now, it will continue to be "black" in the future, and it is not certain that it may become Franstein in the future.

But now, France is still dominated by the Gauls, a Caucasian country distinct from the Germanic Anzac race.

Ordinary Chinese, the traditional French beauties that can be seen, the first two are Isabella Adjani, the French rose, and Sophie Marceau, the kiss of France.

Carla's appearance is slightly similar to a combination of Adjani and Ellie, except that Carla looks younger.

It belongs to the Gallic beauties who are beautiful and delicate, and delicate with a little Roman looks.

Just because he doesn't look bad and has a good figure. In addition, Abel is famous, and now he is still staring at himself.

Introducing and introducing, Karla began to panic a little.

[What if he asks me......]

[I should refuse, I'm not that kind of woman......]

[But if I refuse, will he be annoyed and angry?] If he takes the opportunity to retaliate, it will make my situation and that of my father at home even more embarrassing. 】

Lord, what should I do? Father, what would you do if it were you? 】

【……】

In a panic, she forgot that her father, as a man, was determined not to have the same worries as she was now.

Forehead...... It doesn't seem to be the same to say, in a few years, even men will be a bit dangerous in the United States......

Just as Calla began to make big mistakes, reading some yachts and sailboats wrong.

Abel, who had been misunderstood, finally spoke.

"Miss Beneteau, the matter of ordering yachts and sailboats will be put aside for the time being. How about we discuss another thing? ”

Calla gritted her silver teeth, thinking that it was coming.

It was at this time that she also made up her mind.

After all, I can't bear the child to trap the wolf......

What's more, he's so handsome, I don't seem to be at a loss.

Thinking so in her heart, she whispered a little nervously:

"Mr. Smith, what do you want to discuss?"

"As far as I know, Miss Beneteau, your father is Monsieur Andel Beneteau, right?"

"Huh? Forehead...... Yes. Karla nodded a little unprepared.

She didn't know why this "famous" gentleman suddenly said his father's name.

"Andel Beneteau was the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Beneteau Group. But three years ago, I heard that he had a car accident and is now paralyzed at home, is that true? ”

Karla couldn't help but purse her beautiful lips, and she said in a somewhat difficult voice:

"Yes, Mr. Smith, you're right. These French newspapers have reported on it at one time. But why do you mention this, my father has nothing to do with your order for Beneteau products, right? ”

In fact, Carla herself, after her father's accident, hurriedly dropped out of college to work in the Beneteau Group.

The daughter of the former chairman, but her work in the group is very marginalized.

What is contained in it, three years ago, the simple Karla could have known.

Three years later, Karla heard an outsider, an American, suddenly mention the incident.

She was naturally puzzled and vigilant.

"So ......"

Abel laughed, "I want to talk to you about ...... about Beneteau."

He and Cala talked for about ten minutes.

Ten minutes later.

Before coming, she was nervous and excited, and vowed to get the world's richest list.

When he left, he looked uncertain and was led out by the bodyguards of the rock security.

Wait until she's gone.

Abel said to David next to him and Alan who appeared when Calla came in just now, "That's it?" ”

David just smiled, because it was not his job as a big butler to answer such questions from the boss.

Alan hurriedly responded, "It should be okay." The infighting of the Beneteau family has been heard even by industry personnel as far away as the United States. According to the information we have found, the car accident that caused Ander Beneteau to be half paralyzed is most likely the work of his sister Anetti Beneteau Huss. This lady is in the French business world and has the nickname "Bloody Mary". ”

Abel listened and nodded.

Why is he, an American, who wants to customize a luxury yacht, not to find a yacht manufacturer in the United States?

Instead of traditional brands such as Azimut, Ferretti and Riva, go to Beneteau Group?

Beneteau Group technology is really good, that's right.

However, in addition to sailing, in the field of luxury yachts, in addition to technology, it is not as good as those traditional luxury brands in all aspects.

The reason for abandoning these is to choose Beneteau Group.

It was because when the Smith Intelligence Group gave Abel a list of yacht buyers.

On the choice of Beneteau Group, a note is marked "organic and graphic".

Abel looked at it and found that it was said that the internal instability of the Beneteau Group was very unstable.

The grandson and granddaughter of the founder, Benjamin Beneteau, have worked together for more than 30 years to carry forward the Beneteau Group.

Between sisters and brothers, there was a terrifying internal conflict in a wealthy family.

This has led to the possibility of being acquired by the Beneteau Group, which is not listed.

And now in the 21st century, brands such as Ferretti have long been in the hands of major European consortia.

If Abel wants to make a move, it is almost the same as snatching Rolls-Royce that has been taken away by BMW and Volkswagen in the luxury yachting world.

It takes a little extra touching.

Among these luxury yacht dealers, Beneteau is still free for the time being because of his new rise.

Abel has always had a strong desire for exclusivity in all aspects.

In line with the attitude of picking up a handful of wool if you can.

He placed an order with Beneteau Group and appointed Carla Jaeger Beneteau to serve him.

Because Carla, she is the great-granddaughter of Benjamin Beneteau, the founder of the Beneteau Group, and her father is André Beneteau, who holds a large number of shares in the Beneteau Group.

Just now, Abel was according to the words prepared for him by the Smith Intelligence Group.

Fool Cala into telling her to find her father.

See if you can knock out a crack.

In this way, they will extend their claws into the most powerful motor yacht manufacturers in Europe.

But strictly speaking, Abel did this, which is just a way to take advantage of the trend in addition to ordering yachts.

If he succeeds, he will be able to control the Beneteau Group.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, Abel only needs to make a start, and then the Smith Intelligence Group and his other companies will accept the corresponding work.

Abel only needs to come forward once in a while, accept the loot after success, or summarize after failure.

Compared with his single-handedness when he first started, the current Abel, when he enters a new field and a new industry.

Except for what he particularly valued, everything else could already be done.

Like the merger of Smith Financial Group, he is only responsible for taking the lead, and the specific work has always been done.

In fact, this is also the practice of most large conglomerates, or the chairmen of large companies and groups.

If they were to do everything themselves, then the chairmen would not have to do anything.

If you do everything, Zhuge Liang, who is tired to death, is the best example.

"Alright."

Abel put the chopsticks down, "I'm full." Let's go, go see the scenery of Xiangjiang, and leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. ”

Coming to Lu Yu's teahouse today, he really came to travel.

The main thing is that before he was reborn, he read a book on the Internet.

As soon as the male protagonist appeared, he fooled people in Lu Yu's tearoom. Later, I watched many movies of the same genre, or the name of Lu Yu's teahouse appeared.

When he thought of Xiangjiang, he first thought of this name.

So let's take a look first, and come and check in.

Let Cala come over in the middle, it was arranged a long time ago.

And the appearance of the official is an accident.

It was someone from the north who had sent someone to find out what he was doing.

Now that I've eaten and checked in, of course it's time to move on to the next stop.
