There are countless beautiful white houses, exquisite towns, and traditional Greek windmills, which look very beautiful against the backdrop of the sun and the sea.
However, in such a beautiful place, a brutal home robbery occurred a few days ago.
A wealthy middle-aged man holding an American passport was found dead in his garage by a servant who came to work early in the morning. His hands and feet were tied to an expensive chair, and a black plastic bag was over his head. He was dead beyond death.
The house was turned upside down and all the valuable small items, such as watches, rings, and necklaces were taken away. The young girl who was also lying on the bed was also killed. The knife wound on her waist was particularly shocking against her white skin. Even the experienced detective couldn't help but feel sorry at this moment.
Unable to find a passport or anything to prove his identity, he spent two or three days inefficiently before finding a copy of a passport from the documents of a property purchased in April this year. The name was "Alexander Ford" and he was from Colorado, USA.
The police thought it was just a home robbery. However, when the death certificate was sent to the American Embassy and then immediately transferred to the address registered in the passport, and after questioning the parents of the so-called Alexander Ford, they learned that their child had died four years ago in a car accident. However, all the information matched that of the "Alexander Ford" who had just died in Greece.
After learning the news, the people at the US Embassy took it a little more seriously and notified the FBI and Interpol. This time someone recognized "Alexander Ford" from the photo. He was Davis House, who had extorted a huge sum of money from Han Chudong. He was currently lying in the freezer, dead.
This guy had planned everything, but he didn't expect that after he traded bearer U.S. bonds twice on the black market, he would be immediately targeted by someone, who followed him to the door of the mansion he bought. Following the code on the bond, they discovered that he was the one who defrauded 20 million U.S. dollars from Han Chudong.
Such a huge amount of money, all of which was black money, naturally aroused greed. Davis House only exchanged more than 4 million US dollars for daily spending. The remaining bonds were not found and their whereabouts are still unknown.
When Han Chudong learned the news from the FBI's top brass, he didn't care about the guy's life or death at all, but was very happy.
The only pity is that the remaining bonds are probably in the hands of certain people and it would be difficult to get them back, because if Davis House hadn't handed over the money, the criminals would definitely not be willing to let him die.
Knowing that the possibility of recovering the property was slim, Han Chudong still asked his friends to contact senior Greek officials and ask them to help him conduct a thorough investigation. The haunted house, luxury cars, yachts and the like would definitely belong to Han Chudong, which at least could make up for some of his losses.
…
I met some friends I knew and some I didn’t know in New York.
The focus of the discussion was nothing more than the listing plan of Baofeng Electric and the fundraising plan of Mason Private Equity Fund. The rest was just idle chat and talking about big and small things.
Han Chudong's acquaintances are gradually increasing, and his circle is growing. He can't be said to be the focus or a core figure wherever he goes, but at least no one regards him as an ordinary 21-year-old young man anymore. He has enough capital to integrate into various social occasions.
After staying at the InterContinental Hotel in Manhattan for a night, I went to the office of the Nasdaq Stock Exchange the next morning to deal with some issues regarding the listing. Then I took a helicopter to the airport to start my European trip.
The French luxury house owned by the Cheval Blanc Winery is a bit far from the city of Paris, about eight kilometers away, but the environment is very good and the garden is well-maintained.
The servants had heard the news that the house had a new owner a long time ago. They felt that having a house like this should be a treasure. However, Han Chudong came after a long time and only planned to stay for two nights. He didn't even have the energy to visit each room and acted exceptionally calm.
After asking about the old belongings that were not taken away, he stayed with Kiko Mochizuki and his bodyguard assistants. He took some time to go shopping at the Place de la Concorde and visited the YSL headquarters. He walked past the Eiffel Tower many times and had dinner on the tower in the evening. He was accompanied by Ms. Hermès and Mr. Maurizio Gucci, who came all the way from far away. Mr. Yves Saint Laurent, the founder of YSL, was also there.
You can overlook the night view of Paris by turning your head. The fried foie gras on the plate exudes a charming aroma. I specially ordered a bottle of good wine from Romanee-Conti. If there weren't so many wealthy people from Southeast Asia, the winery would not be so famous, and the price of the red wine would be quite standard. Due to the scarcity of production, the selling price is almost the same as that of the red wine from Cheval Blanc, and sometimes it is slightly higher.
Han Chudong wiped his mouth and said, "How many times does the price of a product have to be increased during the process? On our manufacturer's side, we have raw materials, taxes, operations, and profits. On the distributor's side, we have inventory, operations, warehouses, taxes, freight, store costs, and we also have to make profits. The terminal stores have inventory, freight, marketing, human resources and other costs. If we exploit them one by one, the price will definitely be very high when it falls into the hands of consumers.
What I mean is, instead of handing over a lot of profits to agents, it is better to produce and sell by yourself, keep most of the profits in your own hands, and purchase materials of the same or even better quality to produce in places with higher efficiency and lower labor costs. Then use the profits to expand again and streamline the entire process from production to sales. This is my original intention of building a new factory in Asia. European companies spend too much taxes and income on workers. "
Just now, Mr. Maurizio Gucci expressed his concern that the quality of products produced in the new factory that is about to be put into production will not be as good as those in the old factory, so Han Chudong said this.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Next to him, Mr. Yves Saint Laurent of YSL founded the company and sold most of its shares to Maison United Group. Rather than being a designer, he was more like a traditional businessman and appreciated Han Chudong's ideas on corporate reform.
He said: "The reason why European companies are being squeezed by American companies is mainly because American businessmen value profits very much, while our European companies, especially French companies, spend a lot of profits on letting workers live a superior life. High wages do not bring high returns, but make them lazy. They are preparing to leave work from the first moment they get to work, which is extremely inefficient.
I agree to make changes to YSL and cut unnecessary expenses. If the company can accumulate more profits, I believe it will be able to develop better. Since Mason acquired us and changed the company's registered place to Puerto Rico, we have reduced taxes by at least 6 million francs last year, which means that the profit of each product has increased..."
