…

All love and admiration is expressed between the lips and teeth, hidden in the years, and concealed in the future.

I have no chance to be with you in this life, please don’t worry about me…”

Early 1974.

Naturally, the only person who can sing this song is Han Chudong.

A black Rolls-Royce with the license plate "Han-1" was driving on California Highway 1. The front of the car was high and the rear was low, as if it was holding its head high and chest out. It passed by an old pickup truck. Judging from the middle-aged pickup truck driver's lip shape, he was obviously saying "WOW".

There is a cliff on one side and the sea on the other.

The sun is shining on the sea and seagulls are circling around. Driving in such a place will make you feel better.

California Highway 1, which is over 1,000 kilometers long, goes directly from Los Angeles to San Francisco. I didn’t take this road last time I went there and back, and missed a lot of the scenery.

We set out two hours ago and have just arrived near Hearst Castle.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Kyoko Mochizuki was already numb.

In the past half hour, she has heard more than ten songs from Han Chudong, most of which are in Chinese.

For example, the song that Han Chudong is singing now, even though she doesn't understand what it means, Kyoko Mochizuki thinks it's very nice. She subconsciously thinks that all Chinese songs nowadays are very nice. How could she guess that these are songs that will appear decades later.

The superstar Elvis Presley had just fallen and became known as a "drug addict", Michael Jackson was still active as a member of the Jackson Five, and Queen had just released its first album.

In such an environment, the song that Han Chudong hummed while clapping the steering wheel undoubtedly sounded like a breath of fresh air in an era dominated by rock and roll.

I've never seen such a small boss.

Kiko Mochizuki had a smile on her face and seemed to be looking out the window, but in fact she was eavesdropping.

The research laboratory agreed to the sale.

The final price was $1.04 million, and he agreed.

The transfer includes everything including equipment, patents, technology, sales channels, etc. The transfer procedures for small companies are not complicated, and now we are just waiting for the signing of the memorandum of agreement.

If nothing goes wrong, all the procedures should be completed within a few days.

There are some things that Han Chudong can only handle in person, such as arranging the next research direction, announcing new salary and bonus plans, changing the name of the laboratory, etc.

I took a plane to Chicago once, and I didn’t want to be trapped in a big ashtray in the sky again, so I decided to drive there and visit Silicon Valley at the same time.

I didn’t go last time, but this time I really want to go to Silicon Valley for a few days.

Before going out this morning, Han Chudong spoke on the phone with the founder of Atari.

Although he was already short of money and Mango Toy Company's sales were sluggish at the beginning of the year, and the situation was similar for Baofeng Electric, he still couldn't let go of the arcade market.

I have had preliminary communication with the other party and plan to visit the company as an investor in the next two days to see if there is any opportunity to acquire or acquire shares. If that doesn't work, we can cooperate.

Please ask the people in the consulting company to help investigate Atari. The specific information has not been fed back to Han Chudong yet.

Therefore, he was not clear about the scale and had no idea at all.

Stopped at a rest area, used the restroom and filled up the tank.

After Christmas Eve, Han Chudong never contacted Mochizuki Kyoko again.

At first she thought that she did not express her opinion that night, which made the boss angry. When they met today, she realized that she was overthinking.

Continuing on the road, Mochizuki Kiko saw that the "walking record player" beside her had stopped, and said carefully: "You sing very well, and those songs are also very nice, but they lack the accompaniment of guitar, otherwise it will definitely be better."

"The difference between my own voice and others' is huge, so I don't know how I sing. Don't worry about me. Just sleep or just be in a daze. I should be able to arrive in another two hours."

Han Chudong just finished speaking and continued, "Please remember this for me. When you get back, find a driver quickly. It's best if he can be a bodyguard. No matter how good the car is, you'll feel sick after driving it for a long time. It's a pity that your driving skills are not good. I don't dare to put my life in your hands. You should find someone else to come with me and take turns driving."

It is a fact that the driving skills are average.

Kyoko Mochizuki always apologizes first when something happens and has a very good temper.

She wrote down the words "looking for a driver" in her notebook and said, "Sorry, this car is too big and the drivers on Highway 1 are crazy. I really can't handle it. Accountant Wang and his friends will go to San Francisco first, and when we come back, let the others take this car too. Then you can rest, boss."

"It's okay to come back. Don't worry. I'll take care of some things near Stanford University first. It will probably save me an hour's drive."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Turn on the radio and listen to the broadcast.

The first two days of the holiday were quite interesting. I stayed at home for the next few days, occasionally going out for dinner and drinks with friends. Han Chudong took some time to make a goal plan for this year. He also read the biographies of two super-rich people, John Rockefeller and Paul Getty, and learned a lot from them.

I made a lot of money at the end of last year, but at the beginning of this year, my income has dropped sharply.

For ordinary workers, earning 30,000 or 40,000 US dollars a day is simply an unattainable dream.

However, Han Chudong felt that it was still too little and wanted to expand the scale of Baofeng Electric as soon as possible, put batteries and new skin care masks into production and market, and increase revenue sources.

——————————

Mr. Clifton Nett single-handedly made this big deal happen.

As a transaction middleman, similar to a real estate agent, he will take a 2% commission from Han Chudong after the deal is done, and some services will be charged separately.

There are many corporate service providers like him, and their projects are diverse, ranging from poaching, to corporate diagnosis, to market research, and reasonable tax avoidance. As long as the costs can be afforded, someone will come to solve the problem with just one phone call.

There are people who even dare to take on illegal jobs, and the prices are slightly higher. It is not a very formal consulting company.

If a company owner looks for targets for mergers and acquisitions on his own, he may not necessarily save money and may also take on many unnecessary risks.

The account books, tax history, and the presence of any lawsuits are all reviewed by Clifton Nett's company, which also helps with the procedures during the transfer, so you can make money based on your own ability.

Han Chudong admitted that he lacked experience and was more worried about the transaction risks, so he spent money to buy peace of mind.

He went to the west side of Golden Gate Park again and found Clifton Nett. After talking for a while and making sure that everything was fine, he talked to the laboratory employees one by one and signed a new employment agreement, agreeing to a 6% salary increase and promising bonus benefits.

After finding out that these experienced old employees had no intention of running away, he signed the memorandum with confidence, waited another week to draft a formal contract, and after confirming that it was feasible, he paid the balance and completed the transaction.

In fact, after signing the contract memorandum, which is also legally binding, the R&D laboratory, patents, and channels are now in Han Chudong's hands.

All that’s left is a process of getting familiar with it, making sure it’s safe, and then paying the balance to the two founders…
