In the daily life of a beautiful girl, there is always pursuit and praise.
Seeing Han Chudong walk away without looking back and having no intention of talking to her, even though Caroline Litton was the kind of girl who valued the inner heart more than the appearance, she felt a little surprised at this moment.
She doesn't care about that.
The purpose of coming here today was to learn about Rainbow Beauty Company and see if there was any opportunity to invest the depreciating cash in my hands. I didn't chase after her to continue the conversation.
I thought that since I had received the "invitation", it would be nice to go upstairs and take a look at the company.
By observing the internal atmosphere of a company, you can get a rough idea of its development potential. If it seems lifeless or everyone is lazy, then the possibility of investment failure will be greater.
Because Rainbow Beauty is a small company, it seems that both L'Oreal and Maybelline before, as well as Miss Caroline Litton at the moment, have subconsciously ignored the option of "investment rejection", naively thinking that as long as the money offered is satisfactory enough, they can get all or part of the shares.
This is indeed the case. Entrepreneurs will pay more attention to the immediate benefits than the illusory long-term benefits.
If Han Chudong did not understand the market potential of facial masks, he would probably succumb to the financial offensive of large cosmetics groups. The latest offer from L'Oreal Group has climbed to 23 million US dollars, attempting to acquire Rainbow Beauty as a whole. After being rejected, it has been tirelessly proposing cooperation and intends to raise funds to hold shares.
He understood that what those companies really valued was just the patent for facial mask paper.
If Rainbow Beauty's control is taken away by others as its shares are diluted, it may be completely eaten up in the end. The difference between L'Oreal and Maybelline launching soft facial masks and Rainbow Beauty launching soft facial masks is like heaven and earth. These big companies have ready-made sales channels and customer groups.
Han Chudong didn't want to borrow it, but he was afraid of trying to get the skin of a tiger and getting eaten by it.
Even if we really choose to cooperate, it will not be in the near future. After all, the company is still too small, and we don’t have enough confidence to speak and strive for the maximum benefit.
Taking a step back, he is confident that he can create a new brand, which will maximize profits, but it also means that it will take longer and require more effort. If it weren't for the $15 million he made from selling the dry cell battery patent, he would probably have chosen to cooperate with a large company.
We didn't look for investment before, but now our daily sales are US$500,000, and our gross profit margin is over 87%, which is enough to maintain the company's operations, and there is no need to look for cooperation with anyone now.
Miss Caroline Litton had no idea of this.
She was a novice in investment. She had learned a lot of business theories from books, but had not put them into practice. She thought that with the cash legacy left by her grandfather and the help of a few friends, she could easily acquire some shares.
After arriving at the company to inquire and visit, he took the invitation letter thoughtfully and asked someone to pass it to Han Chudong.
The next morning.
The invitation letter was then handed to Han Chudong.
I didn't go home last night. I stayed in the high-end apartment that I rented for Kiko Mochizuki. I also went out to the bar to listen to talk shows and band performances. I drank until I felt comfortable.
I am looking through the invitation letter at this moment.
The invitation was written on the name of a yacht rental company, inviting him to a birthday party. He was very unfamiliar with the name "Caroline Litton" and curiously asked the employee who gave him the invitation: "Who asked you to give it to me? I don't know this person."
"It was a short-haired girl, very pretty, wearing a red skirt, with long thin legs. She seemed to want to discuss business with you, and asked you to come and participate."
The male employee described the image vividly, and when Han Chudong finished speaking, he immediately thought of the woman he ran into downstairs yesterday evening.
He showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Oh... I think I know who it is. Okay, you go ahead and do your work."
I received an invitation letter out of nowhere. The time for the event is 4 o'clock this afternoon.
Han Chudong was a little curious about the so-called business, but what interested him more was the location of the birthday party. Since the name of the yacht was written on it, it should be held on a yacht.
The quality of life is not that high yet, and I didn’t know anyone who owned a yacht before. I am tempted to go to the party for free. I will make a note of this for now and go and have a look if I have time...

Silicon Valley.
Intel has been in some trouble lately.
Because the product price was too high, the electronic calculator chip business with the major Japanese customer was cancelled.
Intel cooperated with a company called MITS in Albuquerque, New Mexico to provide processors for the Altair microcomputer. The production volume was not high to begin with, and the emergence of its competitor Texas Instruments caused a sharp drop in MITS's product sales, which indirectly led to a decline in demand for processors and also affected Intel's short-term performance.
Most investors don't care about technological innovation.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
All we know is that Intel spends money to develop new products, but the market demand is not high, so it doesn’t make much money and suffers losses at any time.
On the stock exchange side, this company's stock is close to junk stock. The company's average daily trading volume is only a few hundred thousand shares, and the daily trading amount accounts for about 0.5% of the market value. The lack of liquidity also shows that not many people pay attention to it.
The stock price has been fluctuating with very small fluctuations. Although R&D has been positive, sales and profits have been lagging behind, causing the total market value to remain at an awkward number for a long time, falling from nine digits to eight digits from time to time.
It is difficult to complete research and development with one's own profits, and there are often reports of issuing new shares to raise funds. Investors these days are not so tolerant of the semiconductor industry. The reason is that even if new products are developed, there is not much market demand.
Faced with such a situation.
It is no wonder that the securities traders in the American investment banking department simply could not understand what Han Chudong was thinking, let alone guess why Han Chudong must invest in this company.
The employer had spoken, and although I was depressed, I still dutifully helped to clear the outstanding shares on this trading day.
The price is suppressed at the 30-day trading moving average, and may fluctuate upward at most by 1.5 percent. If the price is higher than this, buying will be stopped. You can always wait until the stock price that has been pushed up falls again.
After discovering the anomaly, many traders from securities firms and investment banks took the opportunity to close their Intel stock positions, and large orders came in one after another.
It can be seen from the price that they are afraid of scaring away the hard-earned big investors, and would rather make less money and sell the Intel shares in their hands at a suitable price.
For the traders at the American investment banks, trading became simple. The turnover rate of Intel's stock continued to rise and soon reached 6%.
It took only more than three hours to build up the full position and purchase more than 4.99 million US dollars of Intel stock, becoming the second largest shareholder of Intel.
When Han Chudong received the call and learned the news, his expression was very interesting.
He spent more than 5 million US dollars on stock trading and became the second largest shareholder of Intel. Even he himself found it incredible...
