Long Fei is pretending to be a bit big, Campbell and Lisa directly treat his words as a joke. Lisa laughs and mocks Long Fei for bragging. Campbell said with a calm face: "Young people should not be slick, or
It’s good to be diligent. Okay, let’s have a meal at home. Although it’s a little simpler, you Chinese people pay the most attention to the taste of home, right?”
"Su Su, let's eat at home. You two are tired too, and you have to go out for half a night to eat. I'll go cook now." Jiang Kexin said, and carefully put away the cloak that Lin Susu gave her, and wanted to
Go to the kitchen.
"Mom, I'll help you." Lin Susu stood up and said.
"No! You can just wait here." Jiang Kexin pressed Lin Susu on the sofa and went to the kitchen by herself.
After Jiang Kexin left, Campbell immediately stood up and said, "I still have some work to deal with, so you can talk first." After that, without waiting for Long Fei and Lin Susu to express their opinions, he went to the second floor of the villa by himself.
Campbell just left, and Lisa also left. This girl was even more out of the way. She didn't even say hello to Long Fei!
Only Long Fei and Lin Su were left in the living room. Lin Susu looked at Long Fei and said with a wry smile: "We have become the most unpopular people."
Long Fei knocked on his temple and said with a smile: "It's okay, you are here to meet your mother, not your stepfather and that so-called sister. As long as your mother treats you well, don't worry about them. In fact, they seem to be
Even if it has some power, there is no big problem."
"Well, if possible, we will go out to live after dinner," said Lin Susu.
Jiang Kexin quickly prepared a dinner that combines Chinese and Western styles. Although it was not rich, it can be seen that Jiang Kexin made it very attentive. During the meal, Jiang Kexin kept picking up food in Lin Susu's small bowl with chopsticks.
Campbell and Lisa frowned. Although their family often eats Chinese food, they rarely pick up food for each other.
While cutting a piece of beef with a knife, Campbell slowly said to Lin Susu and Long Fei: "I found a job for each of you in a restaurant, and the monthly salary is 2,000 US dollars. It's enough for you to live. Although we have money,
You are all adults and should work hard on your own career, right?"
Long Fei and Lin Susu couldn't help but look at each other, a little amused. It seemed that Campbell really regarded them as people who were begging for nothing to follow them to make a living. He was afraid that he would have eaten nothing with him, so he had already found them a job! He even did
Long Fei and Lin Susu were not arranged into their own business!
Long Fei smiled and shrugged without saying anything. He just grabbed the fork in front of him and suddenly forked the entire piece of steak on his plate without cutting it with a knife. He ate it as if Lu Zhishen was gnawing his legs.
Campbell frowned even deeper as he watched Long Fei's movements, but Lisa opened her mouth and said, "Wow! So handsome!" The girl said, but she also imitated Long Fei's appearance and steaked out.
Lu Zhishen tasted like a dog's legs.
"Oh, God! Lisa, don't do this! This is too ungraceful! This is too savage!" Campbell said immediately, talking about Lisa, but his eyes looked at Long Fei.
Jiang Kexin gave her husband a dissatisfied look and said, "Campbell, how are you talking? Eating at your own house, not at a banquet. How can you eat comfortably? Where do you come from so many rules? Long Fei and Su Su have their own
Careers, they came to the United States this time to expand their careers." After he finished speaking, he said to Long Fei and Lin Susu, "You don't have to listen to Campbell, let's play for a few days first! There are many fun things in Seattle
Places. Woodland Parks, aquariums, bay ferries, etc. are all very interesting places."
Before Lin Susu came, he had video chatted with his mother several times, so Jiang Kexin knew that Lin Susu and Long Fei had their own company, but when they chatted, they talked more about Lin Susu's childhood memories, so Jiang Kexin didn't know Long Fei either.
How big is her company and Lin Susu? She subconsciously believes that their company is just a small company. After all, both of them are too young to do anything big.
Campbell didn't expect that Long Fei and Lin Susu would have their own careers. He was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Oh, I'm really in vain. However, it is very difficult for a small company like you to think of the United States to develop the market.
.”
Long Fei was amused and said to himself: "My grass, which one of you heard that my brother's company belongs to a small company? After all, Long Group is also a group company with a total asset of over 100 billion yuan, okay?"
Campbell did not notice the change in Long Fei's expression on his face. He just cut the steak and said: "Affected by the decline in the world economy, the US business is not easy to do. I have been talking to Citigroup these days.
The loan has not been taken down. By the way, what business is your company mainly engaged in?"
"Our company is mainly engaged in traditional Chinese medicine and cosmetics." Long Fei said simply.
"Oh, do you want to introduce traditional Chinese medicine and cosmetics into the US market?" Campbell asked in surprise.
"Yes, that's exactly that. We plan to acquire a cosmetics factory." Long Fei said.
Campbell immediately said contemptuously: "You should give up your unrealistic ideas immediately! If you want to open a Chinese medicine store in Seattle, or a cupping or acupuncture clinic, it is possible. But you actually want to use cosmetics from the United States.
It’s impossible to cut a piece of cake on the market!”
"Why is it impossible?" Long Fei asked.
"It's very simple. The cake in the cosmetics market has been divided up. You can't insert it anymore and grab a piece of cake from others." After Campbell finished speaking, he stopped discussing this issue with Long Fei, as if he was with
Long Fei discusses this issue as a pure waste of time.
He turned to Jiang Kexin and said, "I heard that a few days will be the birthday of Mr. Brown, the president of Citigroup. Dear, you have to prepare a generous gift for me. We must get this loan from Citibank, otherwise
We simply cannot expand our business.”
"Okay, I know what to do, Campbell." Jiang Kexin said.
Since Campbell and Lisa looked down on Long Fei and Lin Susu, they didn't have much common topics, and the atmosphere on the dining table was dull. However, Long Fei didn't care at all, and just wanted to eat and drink, Lin Susu was interesting to watch.
In the end, he even learned from Long Fei's appearance to eat. This somewhat rebellious way of eating actually diluted Lin Susu's discomfort.
After dinner, Lin Susu originally planned to stay in a hotel with Long Fei, but she really didn't want to see Campbell's look as if he was looking down on others. However, Jiang Kexin refused to let them go out and told Lin Susu that this was hers.
Home, how can the world go back to your own home and have to go out to stay in a hotel?
Jiang Kexin also told Lin Susu that although Campbell seems to be more powerful, this person is not difficult. As long as Lin Susu stays at home for a few days and becomes familiar with each other, everything will definitely be fine.
Seeing that his mother really didn't want to go out by herself, Lin Susu had to live in Jiang Kexin's home. Jiang Kexin's villa was very large and there were many rooms, so it would be no problem to stay in Long Fei and Lin Susu.
In the next two days, life was quite calm. Although Campbell still looked cold, he did not deliberately trouble Long Fei and Lin Susu. Lisa had to go to school every day and had no time to grind her teeth with Long Fei and Lin Susu. But this girl only
Whenever I see Lin Susu, I always like to sarcasticly, but when I see Long Fei, I smile like I see a super idol.
Jiang Kexin left her job and spent two days with Lin Susu. While playing, Long Fei did not forget to inquire about Perez and Walker, but what disappointed Long Fei was that he did not get anything about these two people.
information!
Because Jiang Kexin still has to work, two days later, Lin Susu no longer asked her mother to accompany them. She and Long Fei also started working.
Long Fei and Lin Susu have many tasks in the United States. The first task is that Lin Susu and Jiang Kexin and his daughter will recognize each other. The second task is to acquire a famous cosmetics company.
Lin's cosmetics have always been in short supply in the world, but now the manufacturer only has one manufacturer in Yulin City, which has a serious shortage of production capacity. Moreover, many countries in the world, especially the United States, impose high tariffs on imported cosmetics. This has greatly reduced the
Lin’s cosmetics profit. Therefore, Long Fei plans to acquire a cosmetics company in the United States to achieve local production and local sales.
If local production in the United States can be achieved, although the production companies need to pay taxes to the US government, the tax is much lower than the tariff! Moreover, the production capacity of Lin's cosmetics company can also be increased, which is the most important thing.
Before coming to Seattle, Lin Susu had already fallen in love with a makeup brand called "Clarins" in Seattle. This is a medium-sized company with a market value of about $500 million and its products have certain market competitiveness. However, since the previous year, this company has a year ago,
It is already on the decline and the future is bleak.
Long Fei and Lin Susu originally thought that such a company with no future would definitely be very happy to cooperate with them, but unexpectedly, Powell, the president of Clarins, was reluctant to sell the company first, and finally shouted out.
Priced at 5 billion US dollars!
Five billion US dollars, equivalent to more than 33 billion RMB!
Long Fei and Lin Susu could not accept this price at all! This is already a ten-fold premium for Clarins! If it is a prosperous company, the ten-fold premium may be a thing of the past, but for a company that is in decline, it is simply a ten-fold premium for sale.
joke!
As a result, Long Fei, Lin Susu and Powell had a whole day, without any progress. In the end, the two of them returned to Jiang Kexin's home in disgrace.
During dinner in the evening, when Jiang Kexin knew that the negotiations between the two and Powell had failed, she asked her husband Campbell: "Campbell, you will attend the birthday dinner of Mr. Brown, the president of Citigroup, tomorrow. Can you bring Long Fei and Su with you
Su? introduce them to Mr. Brown. If Mr. Brown can say something to Powell for Long Fei and Su Su, I believe their negotiations with Powell will be much easier."
