Chapter 735 (2/2)
”Yes, it is. We are going to buy a cosmetics factory. ” Long Fei said.Campbell immediately some scornful said: ”you'd better give up your unrealistic ideas right now! If you want to open a Chinese drugstore in Seattle, or a cupping and acupuncture clinic, maybe. But you want to cut a piece of cake from the cosmetics market in the United States. It's impossible! ”
”Why not?” Long Fei asked.
”It's very simple. The cake of cosmetics market has been divided up. You can't get in and grab a cake from other people.” Campbell said, no longer discuss this issue with Longfei, as if to discuss this issue with Longfei is a pure waste of time.
He turned to Jiang Kexin and said, ”I heard that a few days is the birthday of Mr. Brown's daughter, the president of Citigroup. Honey, you have to prepare a generous gift for me. We have to take this loan from Citibank, or we won't be able to expand our business at all. ”
”Well, I know what to do, Campbell.” Jiang Kexin said.
As Campbell and Lisa both look down on Long Fei and Lin Su Su, they don't have much in common, so the atmosphere at the dinner table is rather dull. In the end, he didn't care about eating longsu, but he didn't care about eating longsu. This rebellious way of eating, on the contrary, diluted Lin Su Su's discomfort.
After dinner, Lin Su Su had planned to go out with Long Fei to stay in a hotel. She really didn't want to see Campbell's low look. But Jiang Kexin refused to let them go out to live, and told Lin Susu that this was her home. How could the world go back to her home and stay in a hotel?
Jiang Kexin also told Lin Su that although Campbell seems to be more powerful, he is not difficult. As long as Lin Su stays at home for a few days and gets familiar with each other, everything will be OK.
Seeing that her mother really didn't want to go out by herself, Lin Su Su had to live in Jiang Kexin's house. Jiang Kexin's villa is very large, and there are many rooms. It's no problem to live in Longfei and linsusu.
The next two days were quiet. Campbell was still indifferent, but she didn't bother Longfei and Linsu. Lisa had to go to school every day and didn't have time to grind teeth with Longfei and Linsu. But as soon as she saw Lin Su Su, she always liked to sneer, but when she saw long Fei, she was just like a super idol.
Jiang Kexin left his work and spent two days with Lin Su Su. At the same time, Long Fei didn't forget to inquire about Peres and walker, but to his disappointment, he didn't get any information about them!
Because Jiang Kexin had to work, two days later, Lin Su Su stopped letting her mother accompany them. She and Long Fei also began to work.
There are many tasks for Long Fei and Lin Su Su in this country. The first task is to recognize Lin Su Su and Jiang Kexin's mother and daughter. The second task is to acquire a famous cosmetics company.
Lin's cosmetics has been in short supply in the world, but now the manufacturer only has one factory in Yulin City, and the production capacity is seriously insufficient. And now many countries in the world, especially the United States, impose high tariffs on imported cosmetics. This has greatly reduced the profits of Lin's cosmetics. Therefore, Longfei plans to buy a cosmetics company in the United States to achieve local production and local sales.
If we can achieve the local production in the United States, although the production enterprises need to pay taxes to the U.S. government, the taxes are much lower than the tariffs! And the production capacity of Lin's cosmetics company can also be increased, which is the most important.
Before coming to Seattle, Lin Su Su had already taken a fancy to a Seattle cosmetics brand called ”Clarins”. This is a medium-sized enterprise with a market value of about US $500 million. Its products have certain market competitiveness. But since the year before last, the company has been on the decline with a bleak future.
Long Fei and Lin Su Su thought that such a company with little future would be very willing to cooperate with them, but they didn't expect that Powell, the president of ”Clarins” company, was reluctant to sell the company at first, and finally called out a price of 5 billion US dollars!
Five billion US dollars, equivalent to more than 33 billion RMB!
Long Fei and Lin Su Su simply can't accept this price! That's ten times the premium of Clarins! If it is a thriving company, ten times the premium may be able to say the past, but for a declining enterprise, ten times the premium to sell, it is a joke!
As a result, Long Fei and Lin Su Su talked with Powell for a whole day without any progress. In the end, they went back to Jiang Kexin's home.
At dinner in the evening, when Jiang Kexin knew that the negotiation between them and Powell had failed, he asked her husband Campbell, ”Campbell, you are going to attend the birthday dinner of Mr. Brown's daughter, President of Citigroup tomorrow. Can you bring long Fei and Su Su with you? Introduce the two of them to Mr. Brown. If Mr. Brown can speak for Long Fei and Su Su in front of Powell, I believe their negotiation with Powell will be much easier. ”
