Chapter 323, The Hermit Family

Great Britain, the capital of fog.

It's already August, but it's still rainy and cloudy.

At the dock, a supertanker slowly left, and the complacent Douglas waved happily and refused to let go.

Since he got on the line with Zhou Jimin, he has always bought a large amount of crude oil from him every now and then.

The price is not very high, but the profit is very high.

Because every time he came, Zhou Jimin came by oil tanker, and every time he came, he had to load several oil tankers.

A supertanker is two or three million barrels of crude oil, which is a super large order.

What's more, Zhou Jimin has several orders every time he comes, how can Douglas not be satisfied?

No, some time ago, this guy was promoted.

Leaving from the port terminal of Wudu, Zhou Jimin came to the uninhabited sea, put away the supertanker, and then returned to Wudu.

PHS Company, Wudu Branch.

Looking up at the seven- or eight-story building in front of him, Zhou Jimin said in his heart that Liang Wenfeng is still quite powerful.

"Boss, you're here, do you need me to inform Ayton?"

When the front desk saw Zhou Jimin, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile.

There was an accident before, Liang Wenfeng, who was Ayton in the front desk, directly fired the white front desk before.

And let all the staff remember the photo of Zhou Jimin's Peter vest, and never happen again.

Therefore, now that Zhou Jimin appeared at the door of the company, the front desk quickly reacted.

"No, I'll just go up myself."

Zhou Jimin shook his head, pressed the elevator directly, and then went upstairs.

PHS has developed very rapidly, and has set up offices in Wudu, Paris, Berlin and other cities.

The so-called technical personnel are insufficient, so they directly recruit local people on the spot.

On the European side, there are many talents, and as long as there are enough people, the development speed of PHS cannot be stopped.

However, the problem that restricts the development of PHS is the equipment.

Whether it is PHS's terminal equipment or signal transmitters and other related equipment, they are all produced from the mainland.

There is no factory even on the island.

After all, in terms of low labor costs, it must be the mainland, and the labor costs of small islands are still quite high.

Coming to the seventh floor, Zhou Jimin saw Liang Wenfeng.

The latter seriously reported the current performance of PHS.

Compared with two months ago, PHS's sales data has increased by about 30%.

This 30 percent increase is mainly due to the fact that several cities such as Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich have already completed most of the construction of signal transmission towers.

Therefore, after the PHS terminal communicator was listed, it soon caused a crazy rush from local citizens.

Although the unit price of PHS is very expensive, and you have to buy a number, and the monthly rent is not cheap, it is really popular.

Especially for those who need to walk around the city a lot and need to communicate, the appearance of PHS solves their problems perfectly.

The profit margin of the products of high-tech companies is very high, especially the current PHS, there are no similar competitors in the market at present, and the profits are higher.

Many local departments are jealous, and if it were not for the policy of hiring a certain proportion of local employees on the spot, the restrictions on PHS would have been further widened.

Of course, the current trend of globalization has taken off, and peace and stability are the current world themes.

Therefore, although PHS is facing severe challenges, it does not prevent Zhou Jimin from reaping global profits.

After listening to Liang Wenfeng's report, Zhou Jimin's thoughts in his heart couldn't be suppressed.

Judging from the proportion of shares in different branches such as Wudu, Paris and Berlin, the proportion of Peter's vest has been rising.

There's no way around it.

Even so, Liang Wenfeng and others often receive invitations from local capital, and the invitation letter of Peter's vest can't fit in two sacks.

And Zhou Jimin didn't bother with these invitations at all, if they dared to use small means, he naturally didn't mind fighting back.

It's just that he knows that this situation won't last long.

It is impossible to share profits with other capital, so it will be imperative to introduce new capital.

Zhou Jimin thought about it and said to Liang Wenfeng:

"Tomorrow night, you invite the executives of the companies that have sent us invitations before, and remember, companies with a capital of less than 100 million pounds should not be invited."

When the latter heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded in response.

He knew that the boss should know that he was about to lose his bearing, so he personally stepped forward to deal with those jackals, tigers and leopards.

The favorite thing in the West is the banquet, especially on the part of Great Britain.

Leaving the building, Zhou Jimin carefully considered his next move.

In a large castle manor on the outskirts of Wudu, a housekeeper receives a call and hurries out with PHS to the garden.

In the garden, a middle-aged white man, Fogensmith, who looked like an old man, was swinging a golf club.

Syllable!

The golf ball flew out, forming a beautiful parabola in mid-air, landing on the grass in front of it and gliding slowly.

"Young Master, your phone number is Ayton of the Wudu PHS Company."

When Fogensmith heard this, he took PHS and chatted with Liang Wenfeng on the other end of the phone with a smile.

When he heard that Peter would be attending tomorrow night's meeting, Smithton was overjoyed and hurried to answer.

Although the Smith family is a nobleman in the fog capital, Peter doesn't like him at all, and he can't help it.

What's more, the Smith family has been going downhill in recent decades.

Desperate to find a new way to survive, the emergence of PHS almost perfectly meets the requirements of the Smith family.

However, after waiting for so long, Peter, the boss behind PHS, almost did not come forward.

As a result, Fogensmith has not met Zhou Jimin so far.

After this was done, Fugen began to prepare.

There were seven or eight other people who received the news at about the same time as Fogensmith, and they all got ready.

Zhou Jimin, on the other side, also returned to his residence in the fog capital, a farm-style ordinary castle.

The fog of the sixties, nothing more, the most castles.

The queen is particularly fond of knighthood, not only for the wealthy in Great Britain, but also for those in the Commonwealth countries.

And the rich people of the British Commonwealth like to go back to Wudu to buy real estate, so that they can have a place to stay in Wudu next time.

After World War II, the economy of Wudu recovered, and the wealthy people of the British Commonwealth contributed a lot of efforts.

Therefore, the housing prices here in Wudu are really not low.

Add to that the fact that the pound is a currency that is worth more than the dollar, and house prices look even higher.

"Honey, you're back."

Bonnie Halls heard the sound of the car and rushed out directly, asking with a smile on her face.

As long as Zhou Jimin comes back, she will push away all the notices outside and accompany him wholeheartedly.

After making out with her for a while, Zhou Jimin mentioned that he would hold a dinner party in a five-star hotel in Wudu tomorrow night, and asked her to prepare it and accompany him to attend tomorrow night.

"Really? Honey, you have been so good to me. ”

The news immediately made her ecstatic, and tears fell as soon as she said it.

After all, she knew too well what it meant to have her as a female companion.

Let her kiss her, and after a while, Zhou Jimin pushed her away, and then went about his own business.

The most important thing for him now is the communication satellite, and everything else has to stand aside.

Even the extraction of invisible metal substances has become a very low proportion of his daily scientific research work.

In fact, if a stealth plane can be created, it will be of great help to Zhou Jimin's next actions.

However, the silence on the inside of the fuselage is great, but the movement on the outside is not small.

With current technology, it is not possible to achieve a silent engine at all.

Even electric engines can be noisy.

Of course, if you want to do things in the territory of Bald Eagle, if you are not too reckless, you can actually mix in the city and then leave on a civil airliner.

It's just that he, who is used to supersonic aircraft, has difficulty adapting to the speed of ordinary civil airliners.

Besides, the last time he took a plane from the fog capital to the bald eagle, he didn't want to experience the loud noise again.

The next day, Bonnie Halls was still lying in bed, her body falling apart, motionless.

Zhou Jimin had already completed ten kilometers around the castle, returned to the bathroom to take a shower, and then had breakfast.

However, Bonnie still didn't get out of bed, not even turning over.

"I was only slightly ..... last night It's only been an hour and a half, why can't she get out of bed? ”

However, her inability to get out of bed does not affect his work.

As long as she doesn't miss tonight's dinner, that's fine.

The time soon came to night, Zhou Jimin changed into a tuxedo, and Bonnie next to him also changed into a well-cut dress.

This dress is a relatively conservative one, no different from the costumes she usually performs on stage.

Bonnie Halls was naturally overjoyed by his domineering behavior.

Western society is a complex of contradictions, some like to be exposed, others are loyal to conservatism.

Many of the old-fashioned British women, such as Princess Kate, are very conservative.

The same is true of the bald eagles on the other side of the Atlantic, many Puritan women, who are far more conservative than outsiders imagine.

When Zhou Jimin and the two came to the hotel, it was already brightly lit and guests gathered.

The dance party in the fog capital is monotonous and boring.

After meeting with Fogensmith and the others, Zhou Jimin left the hall with Bonnie.

The hall was reserved for Liang Wenfeng and their reception, which could be regarded as allowing them to relax.

In the small conference room next to him, Zhou Jimin sat casually, and there were twenty or thirty people sitting opposite.

Fogen Smith, Andy Spencer, Thorne Churchill, Owen Boot, etc., are almost all the successors of the big families in the fog capital.

The wealthy families of the entire Great Britain, except for the almost hermit-like Rothschilds, the Smith family, the Spencer family, the Boot family, etc., are all wealthy families who control all aspects of energy, chemicals, and finance in Great Britain.

Of course, the people who came here today are naturally not the heads of their families, but the family representatives of the successors or prospective successors.

PHS's profits are staggering, although these families can't find out what the specific cost is.

However, it is possible to collect data and perform a rough analysis.

Therefore, the profits are so staggering that no one wants to let go of the fat that reaches the mouth.

They were patient, they waited so long, and now it's finally time.

After a while, Zhou Jimin said:

"At present, PHS wants to enter the fast lane of development, so it needs to introduce more capital to occupy the market ......."

"I'm sorry to interrupt, Peter, what do you mean by fast lane? Do you have a new product? Also, what market is occupied by the market? Do you want to occupy that blank market across the Atlantic? ”

Thorne Churchill interrupted Zhou Jimin's words, and his very unkind appearance made the latter feel very unhappy.

However, he didn't show it.

When the others heard Thorne's words, they were all surprised, and their eyes were staring at Zhou Jimin like torches, as if they were eager to know the answer.

If there's a new product, it's not good news for those of us who want to get in the car.

But if Zhou Jimin really wants to develop the bald eagle market, this is good news.

PHS has appeared on the market for more than a year, but in North America, it still hasn't landed.

The specific reason is unknown.

It's nothing more than local capital not allowed, negotiations broke down, etc., or local capital in North America is already developing PHS, and it is estimated that it won't be long before it can be replicated.

And this may also be one of the reasons why Zhou Jimin invited everyone to the dinner today.

Thinking of this, Fogensmith and the others had a sharp turn of mind and thought of countermeasures.

"Yes, we already have a new product, but we don't have much intention of launching it in the market, but we are going all out to promote PHS......"

Zhou Jimin smiled and continued:

"At the same time, we are really going to enter the North American market, and there is so much wealth in that land that we will not miss ....."

"I invite everyone to the dinner today, mainly to tell you a good news, we are about to introduce new capital, as for who will be the lucky winner, it will be revealed in two months."

What?

Hearing this, Fogensmith and the others suddenly couldn't help it.

"Why wait so long?"

"Because besides you, I need to inform the others, and the one with the highest price will get it."

Although Zhou Jimin smiled very kindly and had a good expression for you, Thorne and the others couldn't wait to give him two punches, it was too hateful.

If it's more than money, it's a real problem.

The richest capitalists are not on the side of Great Britain, but on the side of North America.

Moreover, the market that PHS is about to develop is still the North American market, so it is natural to introduce North American capitalists.

In that case, why should they be notified?

Fugen and the others looked very ugly, but Zhou Jimin disagreed, and continued:

"It's very expensive to engage in scientific research, and we will launch a few projects when the time comes, and if you really have an idea, you can compete for it......"

Without bringing in local capital at all, that won't work.

There may not be a problem in a short period of time, but others have been staring at the fat of PHS, and there will always be an outbreak.

As the saying goes, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves?

The limitations of the era of PHS are still very strong, as long as the mobile phone is launched, it can basically announce the demise of PHS.

So, he had to eat the fattest piece of meat in his mouth and throw the rest of the soup out.

Even if it is these soups and waters, he has to scrape the oil and water of these capitalists fiercely.

It is best to exchange PHS shares for shares in some patents or high-tech companies.

Even if we can't do it, we must retreat to some industries that are not obvious at present, but have great prospects in the future.

Anyway, Peter's vest is still very easy to use.

When the time comes, it is not difficult to create another vest in North America, and then hide the real shareholders through cross-shareholding.

In the sixties, just over two decades after World War II.

A lot of information is very simple to fake.

What's more, in this era, there is no quick response communication method to corroborate some information.

Otherwise, Frank Abanel, the great liar of the century, would not have defrauded millions of dollars directly from the checking company in just two years.

Fogensmith and the others looked ugly, and Thorne smiled softly and said in a low voice:

"Peter, aren't you afraid that we will be upset?"

"Haha, I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid of the boss behind me, if they are unhappy, I will die a miserable death......."

It's just a tiger skin, how could Zhou Jimin not be?

As for what other big bosses are behind him, that's not something they can know about Fugen.

Anyway, it is enough to make them jealous and not dare to act easily.

"We PHS don't go to others, because my boss doesn't allow it, if you are unhappy and want to lift the table, we are very welcome, in this way, it means that we can also lift the table, haha......."

It's hard to hear, and it's very direct.

This made Thorne and the others even more uncomfortable.

But they don't know who the capital behind Zhou Jimin is, it may be the Rothschild family, or it may be other hermit families.

After World War II, many wealthy families, like the Rothschilds, were completely hidden, making it difficult for outsiders to find.

It is too much to be divided by politics and war, and it is normal for the rich family to hide.

However, hiding does not mean that they do not have energy.

On the contrary, the potential underwater forces are more unpredictable and frightening.

At present, PHS companies that are only on the surface of the water have made many capitals such as Great Britain, Berlin, and Paris salivate.

Who knows what other means these hermit families are hiding?

Looking at the stunned expressions of Fugen, Thorne and the others who were silent, Zhou Jimin smiled and did not continue to say anything.

At this point, he has basically completed his intended goal for tonight's banquet, so let's end it.
