He nodded to show that he understood.

She took out a tissue from her handbag to wipe her sweat, and handed another to Han Chudong. Mochizuki Kiko asked, "I remember you are going to Japan next, and then back to Los Angeles, right? Then we may not be able to go together. I have to wait until next week to attend a fashion show before I can go back to the headquarters."

"Yes, I've never been to Japan. This market is more important to me, so it's better to see it with my own eyes. As the half-host, can you recommend some interesting places to me?"

Han Chudong didn't ask her which company's product launch she was going to. He pointed across the street and continued, "Let's go sit in the dessert shop and take a rest. I want to drink some iced coffee. The French are really... relaxed. There are so many stores closed on the street. Did the bosses go to the beach for vacation?"

You know, the Champs-Elysées where he and Kyoko Mochizuki are at the moment is one of the most famous commercial streets in the world, even more famous than Rodeo Drive.

The Champs-Elysées Avenue is dominated by natural scenery in the east, with flat lawns on both sides and a high-end commercial area in the west. World famous brands, clothing stores, and perfume shops are all concentrated here, so it is called "the most beautiful street in the world", attracting countless tourists every year, and every inch of land is worth a lot of money.

But even so, facing the scorching summer, some shop owners would rather lose their rent and income and go to a resort with a pleasant temperature to rest.

This approach is very French.

The local people enjoy enviable social welfare. On the premise that their lives are guaranteed, some people, especially young people, are not willing to spend too much time and energy on work. They think that enough money is enough. Anyway, even if they are unemployed, there will be someone to support them.

So when Han Chudong visited the Hermès store just now, he found that only one clerk was still holding on.

After asking, I found out that there should be five people on normal days, and they have been taking turns to rest recently. Counting the working days, each person only works one day a week.

As a small shareholder, Han Chudong rolled his eyes after hearing this. He suddenly understood why the Japanese are now so powerful in the field of international trade, and also understood why the motherland was able to rise. It was nothing more than the two words "hard work".

The idea has already been formed that no more European workers should be recruited, and when the time is right, a major replacement of the management team will be carried out.

If the workers are so lax, how can the management be any better?

As a shareholder, of course we have to look at the issue from the perspective of interests. Han Chudong's idea is not wrong.

Take Gucci and the recently acquired YSL company for example. If the production factories were moved to Asia, to South Korea, Formosa, Japan and other places, even with the shipping costs, the cost of the goods could be reduced by at least half, and it would also be easier to manage the employees.

In addition, as he became the controlling shareholder, he found a way to change the registered places of the two companies, moving them to the Bermuda Triangle and Ireland respectively, which reduced taxes a lot, meaning he could make more profits.

As for shouldering social responsibilities...many people in economically underdeveloped areas obviously need Han Chudong's relief more, and he himself can also benefit from it.

Kiko Mochizuki smiled and said, "It is indeed very relaxing. A few days ago, I contacted a famous designer, and he was on vacation in Greece. I contacted another designer, and he also went to New Zealand for vacation. Since the weather started to get hot, it feels like the traffic situation in Paris has improved all of a sudden, and people have chosen to go out for vacation."

"Alas, even so, they can still make more money. It's really unreasonable. Apart from the relatively large market size, I can hardly find any advantages in doing business here. Why are people's welfare so high? Isn't it because a large part of the income is taken from the middle class and the rich? The gap between the rich and the poor is indeed not as big as in the United States, and people live an easy life, but it is not a good thing for us businessmen."

"So Mason, you persuaded Mrs. Hermes yesterday to agree to continue financing and move Hermes' registered address to Puerto Rico by transferring equity?"

“That’s it. It’s a pity that she hasn’t agreed yet. In fact, I also hope to get more shares of Hermès because I think women will become richer and more willing to spend money in the future.

It is very easy to make money from you women, just take advantage of your vanity and herd mentality. Men are the same, but the things we care about are different from women, with higher technological content and higher prices. For example, the watch on my hand has an error of only one second per day. "

Han Chudong was crossing the road while talking. When he found that there was no air conditioning installed in the dessert shop, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​sitting down and resting.

Recently, I occasionally like to chat with Kiko Mochizuki about business-related topics, mainly because I think she has a strong learning ability. If she is well trained, she may be able to work independently in the future...

——————————

I bought a box of macarons and brought them back to the hotel.

After entering the room and enjoying the air conditioning for a while, Han Chudong went to the swimming pool exclusively for VIP customers to soak in, occasionally swimming a few laps, and his posture was not very good-looking.

He brought eight bodyguards with him on this trip, as well as a secretary and a strong translator who was fluent in six languages.

Speaking of this translator, he once worked in the white house in Washington, and currently works in the public relations department under Han Chudong.

The company began to have abundant financial resources, attracting talents from all walks of life to join Mason United Group and its subsidiaries. There were so many new employees that the former employees could not cope with it.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The person in charge of Mango Toys has already given up his position. A financial director of Rainbow Beauty was recently transferred from his original position because he yelled at his employees due to his lack of personal ability, which is tantamount to exile.

The rules that Han Chudong intends to formulate are very simple, and can be summed up in one sentence: the capable ones are promoted, and the mediocre ones are demoted.

There are indeed many job opportunities under him, but it is not easy to grasp them. After all, there are more than 70 graduates from Harvard, including four doctors.

A public relations and translator named Allen is one of the four doctors and a top student majoring in foreign language studies at Harvard University.

After spending a few days together, Han Chudong found this guy quite interesting. He waved and shouted, "Don't be in a daze, Alan. Come down and swim. It's so boring to be alone in such a big pool! And you, Secretary Bonnie, in order to avoid being accused of harassment, it's up to you to swim or not. I'm just inviting you!"

He is really the most cautious person, but considering Kiko Mochizuki...well, he is not that cautious actually.

I checked into the Hilton Hotel today and made an appointment in advance to swim. The hotel not only took the initiative to change the water in the pool, but also cleared the area for safety reasons. Therefore, there were only Han Chudong and the people he brought with him in the swimming pool area. No wonder I felt awkward.

It felt a bit strange to be stared at by several people while swimming alone.

A hotel manager hurried over and stood by the swimming pool and asked, "Mr. Han, there is a distinguished guest who also wants to swim. Do you agree? It's just him and his female friends. I promise not to disturb you. This bottle of red wine is free of charge as a small compensation..."
