Speaking of Whirlpool, the scale of this home appliance manufacturer is not much smaller than that of Japan's Panasonic. It is involved in everything from washing machines, refrigerators, and televisions to range hoods, air conditioners, microwave ovens, water heaters, garbage disposals, etc. Its headquarters is located in Michigan near the Great Lakes.

In 1969, the U.S. Apollo 11 spacecraft lunar module successfully landed on the surface of the moon, marking the first step for humans to walk on the lunar surface. Whirlpool Corporation became one of the ten companies that successfully sent humans to the moon, providing technologies such as garbage compactors.

Han Chudong seriously considered whether to agree to the acquisition.

From last year to now, he has invested more than 14 million US dollars in Baofeng Electric, and has hardly put much thought into its management.

If he nodded in agreement, it would mean that he could earn more than 30 million US dollars without considering taxes. Considering that he had only founded the company for ten months, this profit was enough to satisfy him.

To be fair, even if Baofeng Electric's profit margin can be maintained between six and seven points, Han Chudong still thinks it is a bit low. The advantage is that the home appliance retail market is relatively large, and it is easy to develop after accumulating experience. It can be regarded as a good business that can be sustained for a long time.

Before going to bed at night, I drank some wine alone and sat on the balcony to think about it carefully.

Realizing that he did not have to choose between acquiring the entire company and refusing to sell, he could also absorb funds from Whirlpool Group and make the other party a shareholder.

He was too conservative before, which resulted in almost no allies around him. Since he found his situation too dangerous, Han Chudong has begun to pay attention to the importance of making concessions. After all, he has no shortage of investable projects, but lacks a good business environment for smooth growth.

Han Chudong feels that if he can use long-term interests to tie himself to certain forces and make them realize his importance, the pressure can be reduced. The recent sale of facial mask paper and the establishment of Mason Private Equity Fund were mainly decisions made based on this idea.

He was very confident, but not arrogant enough to bite off the biggest piece of fat meat right under the noses of the wolves.

Although the scenery at the top of the mountain is beautiful, the wind is also strong.

He, a Chinese American, fought alone and became one of the richest people in the richest state in the United States. If he is not careful, he might be gone one day. Han Chudong never dared to underestimate people's greed for money.

When he thought of this, he had already made the decision. He was willing to release part of the shares of Baofeng Electric, but he did not intend to cooperate only with the Whirlpool Group. He wanted to find more forces to join in to avoid losing the decision-making power over Baofeng Electric.

Since you are planning to help others get rich together, it would be better to bundle more at once...

"I heard you bought land somewhere else. Are you planning to move?"

Miss Emma Lawrence's voice suddenly came. She was standing on her balcony, wearing pink pajamas and a Mickey Mouse ear-shaped headband on her head.

Hearing the voice, he turned his head and looked over. Han Chudong was sitting on a recliner and asked with a smile, "When did you come to the balcony?"

"You've been in a daze for a while," she replied.

"We will probably move out in the future, but the house has just been designed and may not be built within two or three years. Have you been studying hard recently?"

"...I don't like the way you always talk to me in this childish tone. You are obviously not much older than me, and your grades are so bad that you can't go to college. Yes, I saw the report. Your high school teacher said it himself in an interview."

"I haven't heard of this. Don't compare yourself with me. I just like making money and don't like studying. That doesn't mean I can't get into college."

Han Chudong is still stubborn.

I had to bear this loss in silence. After all, there was no way to tell anyone that I was completely different from before. The one with worse results was the "Han Chudong" back then.

"Maybe. I haven't been to the bar recently, nor have I met up with my old friends. They think I'm not cool enough, and I think they're crazy. By the way, my classmates are very envious of you and me when they know you're their neighbor. They think you have a cool hairstyle and good taste in clothes."

"Remember to thank your classmates for me and tell them that they have good taste too. You should hang out with more friends like them."

Emma rolled her eyes when she heard that. She probably thought Han Chudong was too narcissistic and was happy to hear the compliment. She continued, "Today I saw that my parents have each found a lawyer and have officially decided to divorce. This actually makes me feel relieved. They should have done this a long time ago. Can you help me find a job? I hope to move out and not be financially dependent on them. As long as the salary is high, I am willing to work in your company even if it means sweeping the floor."

"… He is very self-aware. He knows he can do nothing but those jobs."

Han Chudong didn't know how to comfort him. He thought the joke was a bit bad, so he added decisively, "Okay, come and help me with some odd jobs. If you do a good job, maybe I'll let you shoot posters and give you a good salary. Don't thank me. You're lucky to have such a good neighbor like me."

Emma's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Really? Do you think I look good enough to be in a poster shoot?"

"Just make do with it. I want girls of your age to pay more attention to my fashion companies, so it's important to choose the right model. If you agree to endorse me for free in the future, maybe I'll make you a star, just like Zoe."

"Are you kidding me? Do you know Zoe? The singer who suddenly became popular recently? "The Day You Went Away?"?!!"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Han Chudong shrugged nonchalantly: "This is the song I gave her. I couldn't afford pizza when I first met her, so I offered a little help."

Miss Emma Lawrence almost went crazy. She didn't think Han Chudong would lie to her about such a thing. She believed that Han Chudong was capable of doing such a thing. She stared at him with a look as if she had seen a ghost.

After a while, he asked in a puzzled tone: "Can you write songs?"

"If I hadn't started a business, I might have become the most powerful songwriter in the United States. I may not sing well, but don't question my ability to write songs."

Speaking of Zoe, Han Chudong met the little girl at that time and paid her to sing a few songs.

Then they gave her a song and asked Zoe to sing it in front of those large music companies. She was actually noticed by the executives of EMI Records. Recently, her songs can often be heard on the radio, and she has also released vinyl records.

It was just a small thing that Han Chudong did not take seriously and just wanted to have fun.

At this moment, Emma Lawrence treated him like a god and hurriedly said, "Then please give me a song too. If I become a star, I will help your company promote its products and walk around with a facial mask on every day!"

“I help people to judge their fate, and you obviously haven’t received my approval yet.

Since you want to live independently, you should work hard first and let me see your professionalism. Tomorrow morning, take little Orica out for a walk, then give it a bath, and then clean the car. Remember to use a soft cloth..."
