Chapter 163

After leaving Kai Tak Airport, Lin Wei stood beside the car, looked at the harbor in the distance, and took a few deep breaths.

Cheating?

No matter how hard she calculated, she never expected that she would come back after going around in a circle.

She now understood that Fu Wenfan was going to dig into other people's corners with a hoe, and whether the other person would kill her husband or not was never the important point.

The point is how he deceived Yuan Ruyan.

This person's scheming is so troublesome.

However, Fu Wenfan's reputation is so bad, can Yuan Guodong agree to their being together?

If Yuan Guodong didn't care, she would have no choice but to become the "Queen Mother" herself.

...

Yuan Guodong disagreed, and he also wanted to take care of it.

I saw the news of my eldest daughter’s marriage in the newspaper.

The couple called the United States overnight.

"I did this because I knew you didn't agree. Don't blame Wen Fan. It was all my idea. He kept persuading me to ask for your consent."

"Then why did you do this?"

"Because you really It's too much. He was wronged just because of some hearsay in the newspaper. In order to cooperate with you, he made so many preparations in advance, but in the end, you just stopped and let others see his jokes. There is nothing so insulting. Now you know what this feels like."

Yuan Ruyan spoke very quickly, as if she had been holding these words in her heart for a long time and venting them out at once.

The couple couldn't catch their breath for a long time after listening. There was a dull low pressure in the living room. The servants had already hid out, and only Yuan Ruxin accompanied them.

The two couples were silent, angry and frightened. Their daughter had completely seen things from Fu Wenfan's perspective.

Their daughter seemed gentle and steady, but in fact she was very independent. No one else's words mattered about what she decided.

The first marriage was done first and then settled, but I didn't expect that the second marriage would be the same.

The eldest daughter has always had a bad relationship with them, but she never expected that her daughter would treat them like this.

Once or twice, they were not even notified of marriage and divorce.

They thought that as time went by, some things would slowly fade away, but they didn't expect that their daughter still hated them.

Yuan Guodong calmed down and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Is it because of this? You divorced behind our backs, got married again without saying hello, if there is anything you can't discuss with us, you should at least listen to our explanation first... "

I'm an adult," Yuan Ruyan interrupted him, "I can make the decision about my marriage. Even if I tell you, what will it change? You will only say that I didn't listen to the advice and insisted on marrying that American. Now I am." You will suffer the consequences! I know very well what you will say, just like you now, I know everything you want to say or not."

Yuan Guodong's fingers gradually tightened on the phone, and some angry words came to the edge of his lips several times, and finally they all came out. Let him swallow it.

It would be easy to break off the relationship, but the consequences are not what they want to see. With their daughter's stubbornness, she will eventually have no choice but to come to them again.

Fang Jiahui sat on the sofa wiping her tears, and her little daughter sat next to her to comfort her.

"We don't want to start a fight with you, but we are afraid that you will have a bad life. If you can't listen to us now, we can wait until you figure it out, and then we can have a good chat."

"That's always right. That sounds good, do you think I don’t know what you mean? In fact, you want me to have a bad life more than anyone else, so that you will feel that you are right, and you are always right!" Yuan Ruyan hung up the phone after that. .

Yuan Guodong closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

Fang Jiahui couldn't help crying: "We have done everything we can. An accident has caused her to hold grudges for so long. What else can we do? She was only fifteen years old at the time. Should we let her follow a poor boy with nothing?" "

It's okay," Yuan Guodong looked back at his wife and consoled him, "She doesn't know who to blame. She will be fine if she waits a little longer."

"I also want to believe that you said she will be fine once she becomes a mother. " Change, but look at her now, she is deliberately going against us." Fang Jiahui felt sad.

Yuan Guodong fell silent.

Yuan Ruxin looked at her mother, then at her father, and then said: "You don't have to take things too seriously. What's the worst? If we get divorced, I won't lose anything. Look at her and that American. How serious were you when we were together? Didn't you end up divorced? "

"What are you talking about?" Fang Jiahui couldn't help but said to her younger daughter, "Why can't you get divorced again?

" Then you don't want her to get divorced?"

"I..."

Fang Jiahui said.

Yuan Guodong couldn't help but sigh.

The matter is a foregone conclusion, and it is useless to dwell on it.

We can only take one step at a time.

...

Lin Wei didn't know that Yuan Guodong gave up so easily. She was currently squatting on the mountain looking at the topographic survey map with Song Huizu.

Song Huizu held a straw stick and gestured with Lin Wei: "This is on a slope. How can anyone buy a place like this?"

Lin Wei held a pen between her slender and round fingers, looked at where he pointed, and said : "Isn't this place good enough? The hillside is also close to the sea. We can completely build a Mediterranean-style villa. Unify the internal and external spaces, open up the field of vision, and blend in all the surrounding scenery."

Song Huizu had a headache and frowned: "Is it too much trouble?" What the hell is Mediterranean style? I wanted to ask but was afraid of showing my timidity, so I could only go back and check it out myself.

"Do you think this is an office building? Don't build villas like your model buildings. What we want to do is advanced customization. Each building must have its own characteristics. If it is different, we must first decide on a theme," Lin Wei He raised his hand and pointed to the fiery sunset behind Song Huizu, and said, "Look at this, you can call it 'Sunset Villa'. It has sunset and sea view. It sums up the style of the villa in one go. It is unique. When the time comes, it will be rented out." Only then can I get a good price."

"Rent?" Song Huizu looked at her, "You don't want to sell it?"

"Who can afford it?" Lin Wei said righteously, "The design is priceless, I worked hard to make it. What's the big deal after selling the high-end villa? "

The main reason is that we can't sell it now. Rich people have to make money slowly."

In later generations of Taipingshan villas, any villa had several or even dozens of small targets, with an average price of 1 million per square meter. However, now a villa cannot be sold for even 1 million. How can it be sold? Sell ​​one and lose one.

She spent 30 million to buy more than 170 properties of various sizes in Taipingshan. She put aside the new ones for now, renovated and rebuilt the old villas, and also had some corner land. Lin Wei also wanted to re-plan it. , ready to collect 200 sets.

After the "Sunset Villa" was booked, they took a group of people to the next villa area.

Walking on the stone road in the mountains, you can see fresh green scenery, fresh and pleasant air, beautiful scenery along the way, and you can also overlook Victoria Harbour.

No wonder people here like to live in the mountains, and Lin Wei herself plans to move to the mountains.

"A few stone chairs for resting can be built on the roadside."

Song Huizu took notes and wrote it down, feeling very sad in his heart. He was still thinking about the Mediterranean style. Why were these things so simple for Lin Wei to say? What styles are compatible is difficult to design.

Pushing open the heavy and solid door, Lin Wei smelled a sweet fragrance of flowers. When she turned the corner, she saw a field of colorful flower trees. The view was very broad, connected to a large lawn, there was a dried up swimming pool, and behind it was a three-story building. The small white building on the first floor just looks a bit old.

Lin Wei brought over the survey map: "Twelve thousand square feet is more than 1,000 square feet, which is not bad. It would be better if it were bigger."

"Isn't this big enough?" Song Huizu asked in surprise.

Lin Wei looked at the drawings and said, "If you live by yourself, there is no need to make it too big."

She wanted to build two villas. When Fang Mobai gets married and doesn't want to live together, he can move to a small villa. She and her parents will live together.

But you can also buy the property next door and become neighbors.

Lin Wei thought for a while and said, "Buy all the surrounding places."

Lin Wei fell in love with this place.

She actually wanted to get a manor, but Taipingshan didn't have the conditions, so she would get a bigger one, and it would probably cost less than 1 million to buy everything around.

At that time, he will not only be an elder brother, but also be neighbors with Wu Ming, A Yin, and Hu Xiwen.

She gave the survey map to the staff, then sat on the swing, with the fragrance of flowers and plants floating in the air, imagining the days when her family would be together, and everything around her would become quieter and more beautiful.

In real estate, Lin Wei focuses on two aspects, one is commercial land such as commercial streets, shopping malls, and office buildings, and the other is building villas.

Due to limited funds, the commercial street is limited to Causeway Bay and Central. Lin Wei can't reach it for the time being. He can only buy a few shops for his own use. The rest will have to wait until he makes money in 70 years or after the company is listed. Invest in Hong Kong before the new millennium. Real estate will not lose money.

But the threshold for a villa is not that high. Now she is targeting Victoria Peak, followed by Happy Valley, Deep Water Bay, Repulse Bay and other wealthy gathering places.

In short, her business scope is mainly to make money from the rich.

It can be seen from luxury goods that rich people make more money.

The rise of Hezi made Lin Wei more determined to achieve this goal.

In recent days, there have been frequent good news from Hezi Europe.

At the end of 1968, Hezi Jewelry opened.

After New Year's Day in 1969, Paris Cartier relented.

When Lin Wei heard the news, she packed her luggage and flew to Paris to sign the contract.

"How did you do it?"

This time was much earlier than Lin Wei expected.

After getting off the plane, she asked Ji Chengjun.

"I didn't do anything, I just had a few meals with them." She handed Lin Wei a stack of documents.

Knowing Lin Wei's work style, she brought the contract and information when she came.

Lin Wei took it: "Eat?"

Ji Chengjun quickly followed her. Even if Lin Wei was reading information, she walked very fast, and the bodyguards in front of her were clearing the way without fear of bumping into people.

"Isn't our second store very close to Cartier? Their boss always goes to a Western restaurant to eat, and I always go there when I have nothing to do. Occasionally we share a table or something and exchange experiences."

"Sharing a table?"

Do you think this is this? What about domestically?

"Listen to me," Ji Chengjun said as he followed her out, "I don't know why, but more and more times, we started to have scandals."

Lin Wei: "..."

"As a result, his wife was very angry. I think he deliberately didn't sell Cartier and just wanted to date me, so he kept dragging his feet."

Lin Wei lowered her head, her expression was a little tense, and she never expected this direction.

Qu Zhiheng's expression was also very complicated. He looked at Ji Chengjun and hesitated to speak.

Ji Chengjun looked at him and said, "It's really not my fault. I asked his wife to explain it, but his wife insisted that this was the reason, because they had wanted to sell Cartier for a long time, but they have been delaying it until now, saying It's media pressure, and his wife thinks this is an excuse. The price we gave is the best, but they feel they are losing money by selling it to others. If they don't sell it in this situation, there is something wrong."

The group left the airport in a hurry. The bodyguard opened the car door. Lin Wei held the car door and stopped and said, "No matter what the reason is, I will give you a credit. When the matter is over, you will have all the bonuses and benefits you should have."

Ji Chengjun said it simply, but "share a table" This kind of thing is not that simple.

It seems that her personal equity incentive plan will be brought forward, and she does not have to wait until she graduates in the second half of the year.

Ji Chengjun stood up straight, put his hands on his abdomen, and said with a tight mouth: "Thank you, Mr. Lin."

She knew that the position of General Manager Hezi would belong to her, and she would not be responsible only for the European region.

Qu Zhiheng glanced at Ji Chengjun with a complicated expression, and then got into the car.

Spending US$30 million, Herzi acquired Paris Cartier.

Speaking of which, Hezi has always spent a lot of money, buying shops, factories, raw materials, developing new markets, and acquiring Cartier.

Hezi spends more money, but also makes a lot of money. Not counting the newly opened Hezi Jewelry, the three stores in Europe have a monthly turnover of 30 million+. The profits of luxury goods are very high, with a net profit of 200 million in one year. Profits, coupled with a loan of 300 million yuan from HSBC, Hezi's cash flow has always been sufficient.

What Hezi has to do now is buy, buy, build workshops, open new stores, recruit designers, and acquire luxury brands.

Now in Europe and Xiangjiang, Hezi has more than 2,000 employees, including 770 craftsmen, 78 designers, and 3 workshops in France.

It can be said to be a very eye-catching result.

But it is far behind the luxury goods giants of later generations.

Whether Hermès or Louis Vuitton, their annual net profits are more than 100 billion yuan.

Even if inflation is taken into account, if Lin Wei wants Hezi to be on par with these brands, she must at least increase the scale to more than 50 times, expand the scale of Hezi, develop new markets, and acquire new luxury brands.

To achieve this goal, there must be a talent who is deeply involved in this field. Lin Wei does not have the energy and must find an agent.

Ji Chengjun is the best candidate.

She wanted to keep this person in Hezi. She couldn't leave halfway like Sheng Meiyun did.

After the celebration banquet, Lin Wei prepared to discuss equity incentives with Ji Chengjun.

"If you really love me, you should turn down the position of manager."

"Why?"

Lin Wei didn't eavesdrop on purpose, but these two people always find places like this where they think they are hidden to talk, by hand People coming and going in a place like this can be considered a public place.

Lin Wei originally planned to take her things and leave, but she had to stop after hearing the conversation between the two.

She also deliberately walked to the design room, intending to hear it more clearly.

"If you become the regional manager, you will be the one under Mr. Lin, and I will become your subordinate. How will other people view me?" Qu Zhiheng sighed lightly and said, "You should also think about me, right?"

"But why do you think so? If you come to be this manager and I am your subordinate, I will accept it happily."

"How can it be the same?" Qu Zhiheng retorted, "I am a man, others You will think that I am taking advantage of you. If you do this, I will be under a lot of pressure. Over time, you will look down on me, and we will break up sooner or later."

Lin Wei held her neck outside the door, not knowing that she was angry. , still stretched.

So infuriating.

"No, is it really that serious? What's the difference between what you do and what I do?"

"Since you think what you do is the same as what I do, why can't you let me do it? You can just relax and let's get married in the future. "You also have time to take care of your children and family. It is a man's responsibility to support the family. I don't want you to be so tired."

"But... I really like this job and have worked hard for so long. I don't want to give up.

" Is work more important than me?" Qu Zhiheng suddenly held Ji Chengjun's shoulders, "People can't be so selfish. You can only choose one thing between love and career. Do you want to give up on me?"

Lin Wei raised her head and exhaled deeply. I want to ask another question, why can you have both love and career, but she can only choose one?

"If I give up, will Mr. Lin give you the position of manager?"

No!

Lin Wei replied in her heart, absolutely not! Your abilities are not even close to each other.

"Of course I will. Now it's either me or you. However, you have to say something in front of Mr. Lin. I gave a lot of ideas and help with this acquisition. If you say something nice for me, it will not only make you look... Being humble and not taking credit will also help Mr. Lin see the friendship and harmony among employees.

"Don't Mr. Lin think that I am acting for personal gain?"

"No, Mr. Lin is a very good person."

Lin Wei shook her head. He took his handbag and left.

She went back and spent the whole night thinking about how to persuade Ji Chengjun.

The Queen of Department Stores in later generations turned out to be a love-minded person, and no one would believe her if she told her.

It was all due to age and the hormone dopamine. She knew one thing very early on. There was no way to fight against the hormones in the body.

The next day.

Ji Chengjun came to Lin Wei's office.

Opening the door, the off-white shag carpet was spread all the way to the desk. Lin Wei sat on the armchair, facing the semicircular floor-to-ceiling window, and next to it was a model display stand.

Lin Wei's office is very elegantly decorated, with a Victorian-style fabric sofa, double-layered curtains with white background and green surface, bookcases, coffee tables, and oil paintings. However, because it is idle most of the time, there are very few ornaments and sundries, so it still looks a bit empty. .

"Mr. Lin, are you looking for me?"

Lin Wei turned around and said, "Sit down."

When Ji Chengjun sat down, Lin Wei asked, "Do you like reading history books?"

Ah?

Ji Chengjun met Lin Wei's eyes and said, "It's okay."

"Why do you think Empress Xiaozhuangwen didn't proclaim herself emperor?" She

really needs to test her history.

Ji Chengjun was a little nervous. He had to answer such a tricky question well.

She thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's her status as a woman that limits her. Not everyone has the same ambition and courage as Emperor Wu to break the gender siege."

"So do you think that if Xiaozhuang is a man, she He will definitely become emperor, right?"

Ji Chengjun paused and then nodded.

Lin Wei nodded, and then said: "I have discussed this issue with my sisters before, but the focus of everyone's analysis is not Xiaozhuang's gender, but that Xiaozhuang is a very smart person, because both his son and grandson listen to her. , the emperor worked hard in the court, wouldn't it be more enjoyable for her to be the empress dowager than to be the emperor?"

Ji Chengjun opened his mouth and said, "This is really an angle that I have never thought of."

"You said. This is also an angle that they have never thought about. If Xiaozhuang were a man, would he be a comfortable emperor and gamble on the filial piety of his children and grandchildren? " Lin Wei asked.

Ji Chengjun shook his head: "Most likely not. Emperors in history were only willing to pass on the throne after death. The most secure thing is to have power in your own hands."

Lin Wei nodded, and then said: "So you still want to Will you give up the position of manager to Qu Zhiheng? "

Huh?"

Ji Chengjun was stunned again, and then said, "When did I say I would give it to him?"

This time, Lin Wei was stunned.

So what did she hear yesterday?

"You've heard some rumors, right? I don't know how to do that. I'm just teasing him."

Lin Wei: "..."

This was just teasing her. Fortunately, she thought about it all night before she came up with such a story.

"I already knew why he was chasing me. Anyway, I was free, so I just played with him. Then I told him that I said it was inappropriate, but Mr. Lin said that even if I was inappropriate, I would not let him. You're like this..."

She looked at Lin Wei in the middle of her words and said, "Can I say that?"

Lin Wei didn't say anything, and she had eight hundred thoughts.

That's right, Ji Chengjun was even willing to become a dancer in order to climb up the ladder. How could he give up because of a man?

It made her worry in vain.

It's not easy to keep such a wonderful person.

Lin Wei brought the topic back to the topic: "What I want to talk to you today is not only about promotion, but also about your future salary and benefits."

Huh?

Ji Chengjun looked at Lin Wei.

"How much money you can get is not a fixed value, but depends entirely on your personal ability." Lin Wei handed her a document.

Ji Chengjun took it.

Lin Wei asked: "What is the market value of Hezi?"

Ji Chengjun opened the document and found a contract: "The newspaper estimated for us is 800 million. After acquiring Cartier, it can rise to at least 1 billion."

"We are now “It’s not calculated as 1 billion, nor as 800 million, just as 500 million,” Lin Wei said after taking a sip of water, putting down the cup. "1% of the equity is worth 5 million, right?"

"That's right." Ji Chengjun nodded.

"Let's sign a 10-year contract today. I will set 10 goals for you. Every time you achieve a goal in the contract, I will sell you 1% of the equity at a price of 5 million."

"5 million?" Ji Chengjun's first reaction was that it was so expensive and she had no money.

Lin Wei continued: "For example, if you achieve the first goal of the contract, Herzi goes public within 5 years, and the market value rises to 2 billion, then you can get 1% of the options. At this time, 1% The equity value is already 20 million. If you want to exercise the power, you only need to spend 5 million to purchase it and make a net profit of 15 million. Do you understand what I say?"

Ji Chengjun took a breath.

"But what if I don't have money to buy at that time?"

"You have to worry not only about money, but also taxes," Lin Wei said. "Compared to buying stocks, the taxes you have to pay are also very high, so exercising When buying options, you can sell part of the stock to pay taxes... Options are one of your rights. If Hezi does not appreciate in value in the end, but instead depreciates, then you don’t have to exercise your power or buy it. This stock."

Ji Chengjun understood and quickly turned to the back to look at other targets.

Herzi will go public within 5 years, with a market value of 2 billion...1%

with a market value of 5 billion...1%

with a market value of 10 billion...1%

with a market value of 20 billion...1%

with a market value of 30 billion...1%

to acquire a luxury brand , and guaranteed to maintain a 20% growth in performance within 3 years... 1%

(Note: after 5 luxury brands, each additional one will be calculated as 0.5%)

Ji Chengjun stared for a while, then looked up at Lin Wei, and said tentatively: "If If I achieve all the goals, then I can get 3 billion?"

Lin Wei nodded.

This is a variation on the equity incentives given to Musk by Tesla shareholders.

In 10 years, she will tie Ji Chengjun tightly to Hezi.

10 years later, she gave the other party a new contract.
