Since the beginning of this year, the harvest has been unexpected, and Han Chudong has become very Buddhist.

I believe that even if soft mask products from other three brands are launched on the market, I will not lose too badly thanks to the advantage I have gained during this period of time.

It also has investments in other places, including Mango Toys, Baofeng Electric Appliances, Aurora Games, shares of two luxury goods companies, Intel shares, and the Mason Trust Fund, which has just started operating on Wall Street. It has both cash and long-term potential.

So even though those rating agencies were pessimistic about the long-term development, Han Chudong did not take it to heart. Just as he had planned in April and May, he took a steady and cautious approach and invested in some high-quality assets when he had the chance.

While working hard to make money, I occasionally remind myself that it is impossible for one person to earn all the money. There are still more than 20 years until the 21st century. There is no need to feel any urgency and I should start enjoying life.

For example, set aside a fixed time every day to work, and use the rest of the time to make plans, such as going to movies, operas, attending parties, traveling, etc.

Building a house recently can be regarded as a part of enjoying life. Han Chudong pays more attention to the manor that is being designed.

An infinity pool, a fountain in front of the door, a garden are all must-haves, as well as a greenhouse, a wine cellar, an oversized garage, a helipad, etc., plus a golf club. The project budget may be as high as between 40 and 60 million US dollars. Including the land price, the total cost will be more than the total market value of most companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

The afternoon of the 14th.

Han Chudong received a call from Helena, saying that the graduation ceremony was over and she was preparing to go on vacation to the Bahamas with her parents for a week.

We made an appointment to meet again when we were free, which seemed like we were in a semi-romantic relationship.

Assistant Arthur, who had just avoided the question, walked back into Han Chudong's office, holding a document and saying, "This is Baofeng Electric's third quarter development plan. Mr. Joe Austin hopes that you can seriously consider acquiring those companies. It can reduce development time by nearly a quarter and expand the business to the East Coast."

"Did you see Joe? How's he doing? Is he better from the chickenpox?"

"He should be able to return to work in a few days. In fact, he also infected his son, and it is possible that his son infected Qiao and then brought it to the company." Arthur's assistant placed the folder in front of Han Chudong and added, "Don't worry, it has been disinfected."

"It doesn't matter. I already had it when I was a few years old. It won't be transmitted to me."

The reason why Han Chudong paid attention to the chickenpox infection of Mr. Joe Austin, CEO of Baofeng Electric, was because six employees in the company had recently been infected and had all gone home on paid leave. It was said that this was because the elevator space was small and they were infected with each other.

This resulted in all employees who had not been infected with chickenpox avoiding close contact with others, causing panic among the public and attracting more attention than the "flea incident" that had occurred upstairs.

The so-called "flea incident" refers to a stray cat that employees from other companies on the upper floor brought home in February this year. It later became the source of the spread of fleas, and nearly half of the employees were infected with fleas because of petting the cat.

At that time, an elevator was reserved specifically for the employees of their company, who used it alone to avoid contact with employees of other companies.

Including the influenza in April, this is the third large-scale "sensational" event.

There are always more than 2,000 people working in this office building. Han Chudong alone has more than 700 people working in the company. Even though they have rented three floors of the office building, it still seems crowded.

When there are too many people, all kinds of troubles are likely to arise and it is inevitable that things will appear chaotic.

Han Chudong had the idea of ​​buying an office building for himself, but after thinking it over carefully, he felt that it would be a waste to spend so much working capital temporarily, so he made do with it for the time being and planned to wait until next year or the year after.

After carefully reading the plan, I found that it not only included the company's own expansion plan, for which the site selection had already been completed, but also plans for acquiring similar home appliance chain companies, including the estimated price and number of employees, turnover, location of each store, etc., all of which had been investigated.

After browsing, he told Arthur's assistant, "Notify Joe Austin and tell him that there is no need to acquire the company for now. The scale is not satisfactory to me. We should set up an East Coast branch ourselves. Ask him to start planning and take over the large cities with the largest population first, mainly the urban clusters in the central and northern parts of the East Coast."

"Okay, boss. The Wall Street fund company will call you around 3:30. I have reserved half an hour to meet with the interns from prestigious universities who have just joined the company. The attendance rate is as high as 80%. It seems that your appearance on the front page of Fortune magazine has made them feel that they will have a future in our company."

The reporting rate that Arthur refers to is the ratio of the acceptance notices sent out to the number of new employees who actually come for internships.

During campus recruitment, students will not be foolish enough to apply to only one company. Many people can get several "admission tickets", and the reporting rate becomes one of the criteria for measuring the talent attractiveness of a company.

"Okay. By the way, remember to spread the news that I'm planning to move to a new headquarters. I'm looking for a high-end commercial building and plan to buy one for my company."

Arthur's assistant heard this: "I just rented a house nearby. Where are you going to move the new company?"

"This is fake news. It's to prevent interns from feeling that the company is too crowded. It's always good to have hope. I have no plans to change in the short term, at least not before the rent expires." Han Chudong said happily.

He also wanted to rent another office floor, but the entire building was already occupied.

With the arrival of a large group of interns, the space is really a bit cramped. Recently, we have begun to consider moving the entire office department of Baofeng Electric or Mango Toy Company to a nearby location.

With a look of sudden realization on his face, Arthur's assistant made an OK gesture to indicate that he understood.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

…

At 3:30 in the afternoon, the phone rang on time.

Han Chudong picked up the phone and asked, "Hi, it's time to get off work at East Coast, what's up?"

The continental United States is divided into several time zones. The time on the East Coast is different from that on the West Coast, and there are also differences in working hours.

"I still have some things to do. Today I got a big client, the American Teachers' Retirement System, and they invested $8 million! That's why I've been busy until now. I have to meet with the people from New York Life Insurance Company tomorrow. I just want to tell you that we should be able to raise $100 million soon."

After hearing this, I immediately guessed that he was trying to take credit for it.

The head of Mason Private Equity was named Samberg. Han Chudong acquired a private equity fund company with complete qualifications from him, bought all the shares, and hired the other party as the head.

In Han Chudong's opinion, this should be the easiest job under his command, because he does not have to consider short-term profits and losses, long-term planning, etc. He only needs the other party to buy shares according to his own ideas and then hold them.

Asked Samberg: "This is really good news. How is the position building going? I may invest another sum of money in the near future, about 20 million US dollars, and diversify it to buy the stocks of those five companies like other clients' funds."

Without the acquisition of Dior, YSL's valuation is not high, resulting in the company's cash flow being relatively abundant recently. Han Chudong restrained his desire to invest and pick up money everywhere, and prepared to buy some book assets that are easy to cash in and can appreciate in value.

If you make too much money in a short period of time, you will easily become the first to stand out.

It’s hard to imagine that he would worry about earning too much…
