A purple Lamborghini Countach stopped in front of Macy's in Union Square.
The new car was released in 1971 and just hit the market at the beginning of this year. There are only a few of them in the world. Lamborghini is still just a niche brand and is not as famous as Ferrari.
Precisely because of the rarity, the attention of almost everyone around was attracted. The waiter at the entrance of the mall walked over on the spot and greeted them with a smile.
A man and a woman got out of the car.
The man casually threw the car keys to the doorman and gave him a twenty-dollar bill as a tip.
As he walked, he said to the short-haired girl beside him, "Caroline, my friend Nick has been pursuing you for a long time. He really likes you, and our father also values Northrop very much. You should know that it is very important to us. Even if we just tease him, it won't be too late to kick him away after the order is completed."
The woman named Caroline, who looked to be about twenty years old, had no reaction at all when she heard such words from her own brother.
I just told him, "That's your business. If you really want the Pentagon contract, go get a room with Nick and don't involve me in your business."
"But you are also a member of the family. Nick's father is a director of Northrop and the second largest shareholder. With his help, it will be much easier to get the contract. You are so smart, that idiot Nick will definitely not be able to take advantage of you. It's just to lure him to help speak for you. It's very simple.
After the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier is launched next year, our Litton Industries may get more orders, and my father needs to rely on the influence of Northrop Corporation to get the CEO position of the company, which is the position that belongs to our family. "
The brown-haired man didn't think there was anything wrong with saying such things to his own sister. Born in a family like theirs, even if there was a family relationship, there were too many conflicts of interest involved.
His name is Justin Litton, and the girl with short hair is Caroline Litton. Their ancestors founded Litton Industries, which belongs to the same California consortium as the company called Northrop.
In the construction of the Minis-class aircraft carrier, which has received special attention in recent years, Litton Industries has received some orders. Its main business is to build warships and civilian ships, and its sideline business is the production of cruise missiles and other weapons and equipment.
Arms dealers had not yet begun to form an oligopoly, and many companies were competing with each other. This company was considered one of the giants in the field of warship manufacturing.
Their powerful strength directly makes their personalities and ways of thinking different from ordinary people. The topics they talk about when shopping in the mall are also weird. Ordinary children in their early twenties would not care about company business and arms orders from the Pentagon, and could not get in touch with this level at all.
Caroline often feels helpless because she has a stupid brother. It’s not that he is too stupid, but he just can’t think straight and can’t consider more far-reaching issues.
Take the recent carrier-based aircraft project that Litton Industries attempted to conduct jointly with Northrop. The other party clearly showed no interest, so what good would it do to find the shareholder's son?
But he kept mentioning it tirelessly, and even his own sister wanted to give it away.
Habit becomes nature. The family atmosphere in her family has always been weak. She replied in a cold tone: "I have made it very clear. You should handle your own affairs. Don't involve me. I will definitely not help you. OK?"
"Okay, okay, you have to accompany me to the party tonight. In return, you can use my credit card for everything you buy today."
“…”
We are not on the same page, so I am too lazy to bring it up again.
Caroline saw a cosmetics display cabinet of an unfamiliar brand. There were many people gathered around it, and they seemed to be trying out the products.
I walked over with curiosity, picked up a mask, looked at it, and asked how to use it.
All of today's shares have been bought, but the store clerks are still working, their task is to introduce the products to certain customers who have purchasing intentions.
After listening for a while, Miss Caroline Litton became interested, not only in the mask itself, but also in this type of product. She keenly sensed the business opportunity.
During the trial period, his brother had planned to buy a few boxes to please his sister and ask her to help contact the friend and communicate business matters on his behalf.
However, the reply he got was that all the goods were sold out. He immediately became angry, but did not say much. He just felt that everything was going wrong.
Caroline lay there, allowing the clerk to put the trial mask on her face. She was pretty, but too mature, with a lot of thoughts in her head. She lacked the liveliness and vitality of a young girl and looked a little serious.
I found it comfortable when applied on my face, which made me more and more interested, so I asked about the Rainbow Beauty Company in a roundabout way.
She is quite rich. Before her grandfather passed away last month, he made a will, leaving her with real estate, artworks and cash worth about 40 million US dollars. She is currently worried about not being able to find a good investment opportunity.
As a student at Pomona College, majoring in psychology, the clerk was no match for Caroline. She quickly started the conversation and got a general idea of Rainbow Cosmetics. She subconsciously thought it shouldn't be that expensive, so she decided to take some time to go and check it out...

Han Chudong doesn't know yet that someone else is eyeing his company.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Even if they knew, it didn’t matter. In the past few days, not only Maybelline, but also L’Oreal and Procter & Gamble have paid attention to facial mask products and sent people to try to contact them.
L'Oreal is wealthy, and the people they sent asked him directly how much he wanted to sell it. Han Chudong only told them the price he had in mind, at least nine figures, and asked if they could give it.
Nine figures is at least 100 million US dollars, which scared others into thinking he was a fool, and of course the situation ended in a bad way.
I haven't seen Sun Laosan for a long time.
Han Chudong's former "master" has now closed the small repair shop in Chinatown and works full-time as a teacher at Baofeng Electric Company, guiding and training a group of young people with no basic skills. After they have almost finished their training, they are sent to various branches to work as repairmen.
"Oh! What a rare guest! Have you sharpened your teeth? Half a plaque is waiting for you to enjoy!"
Sun Laosan had just shown up when he heard Han Chudong say this, and his expression became quite interesting.
At the moment, he felt somewhat relaxed. Before coming here, he was worried that Han Chudong would become distant from him after he got rich. He smiled and said, "Now I have to call you Boss Han. That archway is a good old thing. I want to eat it, but others won't let me. It's been such a short time since I last saw you, and you're so rich. When I saw you last year, I knew that the repair shop would definitely not be able to keep someone like you."
He didn't feel awkward. Instead, Sun Laosan started to flatter him. The main reason was that Han Chudong made money so quickly that it scared this old bachelor who had never seen much of the world.
I feel uncomfortable seeing Sun Laosan like this. It was better like that before.
Han Chudong opened the box and threw a cigar to him. At that time, the box was full of cigarette butts like a hedgehog, so there was no need to ask Sun Laosan whether he smoked or not.
He said, "Don't be polite with me. If you have anything to ask me, just tell me directly..."
