After she contacted her father and bought the plane ticket, she told Han Chudong that she was leaving that day. There was a lot of work at the company, so Han Chudong only asked the driver to take Helena to the airport.
I also helped her out a little by using the free benefits at the bank to upgrade her to first class.
Very busy indeed.
From morning to night, I am either in a meeting or on the way to a meeting.
The number of Rainbow Beauty stores is in a stage of crazy expansion, and there are many internal and external problems. In addition, she also has to personally oversee the preparations for the cooperation rights auction.
In addition, Han Chudong also had to take time out to personally contact his colleagues who had already arrived in Los Angeles to attend the auction, take them to visit the factory and understand the current situation of the soft mask market.
Just a few minutes ago, he had taken the senior vice president of Johnson & Johnson and the CEO of Christian Dior to visit the factory, and after a brief exchange, they rushed back to the company.
It’s already past six in the evening, and today’s schedule hasn’t been completed yet.
The new assistant is named Arthur Jonas. He graduated from the Yale School of Management two years ago. He is fluent in four languages, has a lawyer's license, and obtained a master's degree from the law school.
Being able to stand out from a crowd of competitors and become Han Chudong's assistant, his intelligence and abilities must be good.
To be honest, she is much more professional than Mochizuki Kyoko, but Han Chudong will not tell this fact unless he wants to start a fire in his own backyard.
Right now.
Han Chudong stretched lazily and asked, "Arthur, what arrangements do you have tonight? Deal with them as soon as possible so that you can get off work early."
Arthur Jonas is nearly thirty years old, has brown hair, and wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses. Judging from his temperament and dress, he looks more like a boss than Han Chudong.
After checking the schedule which was accurate to the minute, Arthur said:
"Boss, forty-six minutes ago, the head of the Japanese branch of the beauty business asked you to call him back. The time difference is just right. Also, Mr. Corrigan, the director of Warner Bros., invited you to his private party, saying that he wanted to talk about the movie Jaws.
In addition to these, you have 30 minutes to rest. If you don't want to go to Mr. Corrigan's place, you can also go to the charity fundraising party of the Red Cross Rescue Organization. To be honest, I have seen your previous schedule, and you have ignored almost all the invitations to social parties. Those occasions may actually help your business, such as meeting with celebrities in the constituency. Mayor Villaraigosa is about to end his term, so you should pay more attention to these. "
Han Chudong was quite satisfied with the new assistant. He nodded and replied, "I understand, but I don't plan to attend these activities in the next few days. Please help me turn them down and finish the auction first."
In addition to arranging itineraries and assisting in the management of the company, Arthur Jonas's value is also reflected in other aspects, such as coordinating the specific work of the secretary's office and handling matters such as intelligence gathering and organizing meetings in an orderly manner.
Before him, Kyoko Mochizuki was too soft-hearted and couldn't control the guys in the secretary's office. Moreover, she would only solve the problems according to Han Chudong's instructions first.
It's true that he tried his best, but he's definitely not as capable as Assistant Arthur.
Speaking of which, Kyoko Mochizuki was only an accounting major and had no experience as a secretary. It was fine when the company was small, but later on, she became overwhelmed and couldn't cope with it.
Now that he has been transferred to other departments, Han Chudong feels relaxed, and so does she, and it's good for both of them.
Assistant Arthur nodded and finished recording, crossing out some of the evening's arrangements, and continued, "Then all that's left for today is to contact the Japanese office and read through these documents. The red folders are for urgent matters, and the blue ones can be left for tomorrow."
Han Chudong flipped through them casually and found some financial statements.
Baofeng Electric Company plans to open five stores at a time in Oregon and three stores in Texas first. Without his signature, the finance department will not agree to lend the money.
As for Rainbow Beauty, the budget plan for the next advertisement must also have his signature before it can be implemented.
In terms of company finances, Han Chudong holds all power in his own hands and hires a third-party accounting firm to audit the accounts regularly to prevent the emergence of "rat rats".
When the company becomes large enough, it needs rules to be managed.
He pays the most attention to the three aspects of finance, procurement, and senior management. He cannot take care of human resources for the time being, mainly because the company is developing too fast and with so many new people pouring in every day, it is difficult to make specific adjustments.
In the future, when things gradually stabilize, there will definitely be a big wave of gold rush and they will be increasingly valued.
Now Han Chudong only focuses on the middle and upper-level executives. If anyone fails to do their job well, sorry, just get paid and leave...
————————————
The next day, I was busy from morning to evening again.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Hundreds of Rainbow Beauty counters will begin opening within a month or two. Opening a store itself is difficult, not to mention marketing, management, warehousing and logistics. If it weren't for the experience accumulated previously, problems would most likely arise from within the company first.
VIP.
Han Chudong paid a third-party company to help recruit them.
Want money.
The entire Mason United Group's funds, including the profits of Mango Toy Company, were concentrated on Rainbow Beauty Company, and it also obtained another loan from Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank.
They give whatever people want and have even started to get involved in expensive TV advertising sales channels. Their only goal is to expand Rainbow Beauty's business as much as possible and build up the brand's soft power before any competitors emerge.
The situation seems difficult, but in fact it can be barely coped with. After all, there is no problem with the funds, market and quality. More and more female consumers are beginning to pay attention to soft mask products. The ex-boyfriend series of masks alone can provide nearly two million US dollars in liquidity every day. This number is scary.
If he wasn't sure, Han Chudong wouldn't dare to expand at full speed.
In the evening, I went home to take a shower, changed into a Gucci black suit, and went out again without even eating, rushing to the Marriott Hotel in the city center.
Before he arrived, many bidders who were invited or took the initiative to participate had already arrived at the small auction site in advance. This also shows how much importance they attach to this auction tonight.
Johnson & Johnson and Procter & Gamble are sworn enemies, and they both sent a senior vice president with a group of people under him.
When two senior vice presidents of Fortune 500 companies met, bystanders could sense the tension even from a few meters away. Executives of Christian Dior and Maybelline knew something was wrong before the auction even started. Their funds could not match those of these two old giants of daily necessities, and they could not even compete with Estee Lauder, Shiseido of Japan, etc., so they could only pin their hopes on the fact that they did not want it that much.
The auction reserve price has reached 35 million US dollars, and this news has been made public...
