"This job should be fine for you, right?" Li Han said with a smile, "I have read your resume, and I am also a person who has lived abroad for more than ten years, so I should be relatively clear about the situation abroad." Coupled with your experience as a CEO, I am confident that you are more than capable of the tasks I have given you. What do you think? ”

"Before I agree, I want you to answer me a question." Lu Minhao said solemnly, "How can you let the Phantom Company go bankrupt without getting involved in the cosmetics industry?" ”

"It's simple, I'll start with the ingredients." Li Han shrugged his shoulders, "I've investigated, the main ingredient of the Phantom Company's most popular perfume line is a material called tonka bean, right?" ”

"Yes......" Lu Minhao nodded, "Our company's main product is pure natural cosmetics, and the materials used are basically plants in nature, and there are few synthetic ones." ”

"yes, that's the point." Li Han smiled, "You see, many of these ingredients will be used in desserts and dishes, such as lemongrass, tonka beans and the like, I just need to stir-fry these ingredients." ”

"However, if you want to speculate on the price of these materials, then you must buy them in large quantities, but what is the use of you buying these materials? Is it rotten in the hands? Lu Minhao asked puzzled.

"How can it rot on your hands? As I said, these ingredients will be used in desserts and dishes, and we can eat some of them at our own cake shop and burger joint, and then sell the rest to other restaurants. Li Han disagreed, "Most of these things can be stored for a long time, and there is no need to worry about sales, so its price will naturally be speculated." ”

"But aren't you going to lose money like that?" Lu Minhao frowned.

"Wouldn't it be nice if I went to the futures market and released a batch of futures on this spice?" Li Han asked rhetorically.

"Hedging ......" Lu Minhao suddenly said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it?" ”

The so-called hedging transaction is that after buying a stock, if you are worried that the stock will fall, then go to the options market to buy a put agreement for the stock. In this way, if the stock really falls, you can make a profit through this put agreement to offset the loss of the stock.

Although it seems to be offset by positive and negative, there is actually a price difference between the two, and sometimes you can even make money through this method, and even if you fail, you can recover your losses and lose a little less.

"Exactly." Li Han nodded, "If I raise the price of these materials and then sell them, I will lose a little, but I can make up for this part of the loss through the futures bullishness, and even make money in the end." And the price of raw materials of the Phantom Company has all been raised, and after a long time, they will definitely not be able to hold it first. ”

"If the cost increases, it will inevitably lose money after a long time. And once you lose money, coupled with the impact of your share delisting, the company's stock price will completely collapse, and then you can buy it on a later date......" Lu Minhao muttered to himself, and then smiled: "Gao Ming...... I really shouldn't be against you. The stupid pigs of the board...... I was right! ”

"That's why I'm inviting you to join me now." Li Han smiled and said, "How is it?" Want to help me? It may be that the scale of this overseas market will be relatively small at first, but it will definitely develop slowly, and I can help you clean up the Phantom Company. ”

"Of course, it's an honor to see your empire come to life." Lu Minhao bowed elegantly, "I'll pack my luggage and prepare today, and I should be able to arrive in Beichang City the day after tomorrow." ”

"Then I wish you a happy future cooperation." Li Han replied, and then cut off the video.

Lu Minhao's sudden appearance solved one of Li Han's long-standing worries: an agent in the overseas market.

In fact, because of the recent reform and the addition of new products, the recent turnover of Liuli Handmade Burger and Baizhe Cake Shop has ushered in a wave of skyrocketing, and this quarter's financial report will be very beautiful. And now that they have enough cash flow on hand, they can already go to overseas markets to test the waters.

Opening a branch overseas first will also help them to price their share price when the U.S. stock market is listed.

In fact, he already had the idea of opening a store abroad before, but he couldn't find the right person to help him develop, and now with Lu Minhao, this problem has just been solved.

Li Han is ready to give Lu Minhao a little manpower and a sum of money, let him go abroad to open a store to test the waters, and continue to open branches if the development is good, and then make adjustments if the development is not good.

This first store is more important, Li Han is ready to let big data recommend a store location for himself, and then push the cooperation model of Baizhe Cake Shop and Liuli Burger Restaurant to foreign countries.

Of course, because it is operating abroad, the menu must also be adjusted, and only Chinese wraps and Chinese dim sum will be retained, and foreign fast food such as fried chicken burgers will not be taken out to compete with others.

"What are you so happy about?" Wang Man poked his face and asked.

"Of course, my cranberry company is going abroad." Li Han hugged her slender waist and teased.

"Tsk, you are so annoying...... Wang Man blushed slightly, glared at him, and then pouted, "Well, anyway, foreigners don't know Chinese's homophonic stalks......

"I've thought it all through." Li Han raised his hand and looked into the distance, "Later, they interviewed me and asked me why I gave the company this name, so I told them, 'My wife's single name is a man, and her nickname is Mei ......'"

Li Han was talking, Wang Man came up and covered his mouth, and said angrily: "If you dare to tell others my nickname, you will die!" Did you hear that!? ”

"Alright, alright. Then I'll tell them it's named after my wife, okay? Li Han kissed her little hand and smiled, "You didn't allow me to call you by your nickname before, but now it's fine." ”

"That's not because I can't ...... you can't do it," Wang Man glared at him, "Okay, I'll go prepare the materials for the afternoon." ”

Li Han slapped her on the ass while she turned around, and then sighed: "Ah...... It's still so resilient. ”

Wang Man grimaced at him, and then went into the kitchen.

Li Jia swept the floor and asked, "Then do we want to sell our coffee too?" Or choose a different coffee bean according to local customs? ”

"Of course, it's only interesting if it's different." Li Han nodded.

"Alas, the supplier of the coffee beans who was promised to help promote the coffee and let them give it cheaper should be considered to have fulfilled its promise now, right?" Li Jia joked, "It's going to be promoted abroad." ”

"It's been cashed in a long time ago, okay?" Li Han smiled, "Our two hundred branches all use their coffee beans. ”

After speaking, Li Han looked at the time: "It's almost time, then I'll go back to school first, you two come on in the afternoon, right?" Don't try too hard, just mix it up. ”

"Don't worry, after your wife is pregnant, we will close the shop and rest, and then I will be responsible for accompanying your wife to eat and play everywhere every day, so that you can work outside with peace of mind." Li Jia said, glaring at him, "You don't come on!" ”

"Oops, I'm doing my best!" Li Han said impatiently, speeding away.

After returning to school, Li Han supervised the students' lunch break as usual.

At this time, there are only two days left before the exam, and the students in the class are basically revising, but there are always some people who are not so responsible and spend their minds on being smart.

After class in the afternoon, Li Han came to the class and told the students.

"Because the midterm exam is tomorrow, so I won't study at night tonight, so everyone will go back early to rest and prepare for tomorrow's exam." Li Han instructed simply, and then changed the conversation, "Before the exam, I have a few words to say." ”

As he spoke, Li Han's face sank: "I said before that as long as you live brightly and have a clear conscience, I will be proud of you." But the reverse is also true, if you have a prosperous life in the future, but you are not behaving well, I will be ashamed of you. It's my responsibility not to teach you well, and I, Li, will naturally clean up the portal. ”

A sneer sounded from below the "......", but Li Han didn't see who it was.

"Don't you believe it?" Li Han smiled, "Which classmate doesn't believe it, raise your hand and I'll take a look." ”

At this time, a student raised his hand: "Teacher, I don't believe it. ”

Li Han looked at the student, this boy was white and fat, only one meter and six years old, looking like a rice ball.

This boy's name is Tang Mian, Li Han knows the details of his family, his father is the president of a branch of China Construction Bank, and his mother is a university professor.

"I don't believe it either." Another student also raised his hand and smiled, "Teacher, how will you clean up the portal?" ”

Li Han turned his head and looked, this student's name is Rao Huan, and Tang Mian are both short-eyed and short, but they are a little darker, and together they are a combination of black and white pills.

Rao's father is an out-of-town businessman who is said to have earned nearly eight figures a year.

These two people have been acting very honest so far and have not opposed him, mainly because Li Han is very loose, and they are still happy to be idle. But now that Li Han is "arrogant", they naturally want to teach a lesson.

"It's kind of interesting." Li Han also smiled, "So, you two don't believe it, do you?" ”

"I just want to see how you're going to clean up the portal." Tang Mian held his chin and said with a smile.

"I'm curious, too." Rao Huan frowned and nodded with a little playful look.

"That's it." Li Han hugged his arms, "After the midterm exam, if the father of the two of you doesn't beat you, even if the teacher loses, the teacher wins." After winning, it's very simple, I say one, you are not allowed to say two. How is it? ”

The two looked at each other, then nodded, "Deal." ”
