Long Fei was forced to pretend to be a bit big. Campbell and Lisa directly took his words as a joke. Lisa laughed at Long Fei's boasting, while Campbell said calmly: "young people's better not be glib, they'd better do their part. Well, let's eat at home. It's a little simpler, but you Chinese pay most attention to the taste of home, don't you? "
"Susu, let's eat at home. You two are tired, and it will take half an evening to go out. I'm going to cook now. " Jiang Kexin then carefully put away Lin Su Su's cloak and went to the kitchen.
"Mom, I'll help you." Lin Su Su got up and said.
"No! Just wait here. " Jiang Kexin presses Lin Su Su on the sofa and goes to the kitchen by herself.
After Jiang Kexin left, Campbell immediately got up and said, "I still have some work to deal with. You talk first." After that, he went to the second floor of the villa without waiting for Long Fei and Lin Su Su to make a statement.
Campbell just left, and so did Lisa. This girl is more excessive, she didn't even say hello to Long Fei!
Only long Fei and Lin Su were left in the living room. Lin Su looked at Long Fei and said with a bitter smile, "we have become the most unpopular people."
Long Fei knocked on his temple and said with a smile, "it's OK. You're here to see your mother, not your stepfather and that unknown sister. As long as your mother is nice to you, don't worry about them. In fact, it seems that they are just a little powerful, and there is no big problem. "
"Well, if possible, we'll go out after dinner." Lin Su Su said.
Jiang Kexin quickly prepared a Chinese and Western dinner. Although it was not a feast, it can be seen that Jiang Kexin was very attentive. During the meal, Jiang Kexin used chopsticks to put food into Lin Su Su's small bowl. Campbell and Lisa frowned. Although their family often eat Chinese food, they seldom bring food to each other.
Campbell slowly said to Lin Su Su and Long Fei while cutting a piece of beef with a knife: "I've got you a job in a restaurant with a monthly salary of $2000. Enough for you to live. Although we are rich, you are all adults. You should work hard in your own career, aren't you? "
Long Fei and Lin Su Su couldn't help looking at each other, some of them couldn't laugh or cry. It seems that Campbell really regarded them as beggars to live with them. He was afraid that he would follow him for free, so he had already found a job for them! He didn't even put Long Fei and Lin Su Su into their own business!
Long Fei smiles, shrugs and doesn't speak. He just grabs the fork in front of him and suddenly forks the whole steak on his plate. He doesn't have to cut it with a knife. He eats it like Lu Zhishen chews on a dog's leg.
Campbell frowned deeper as he watched Longfei, but Lisa opened her mouth and said, "Wow! How handsome This wench talks, unexpectedly also learning the appearance of Long Fei, fork up the steak, as if Lu Zhishen gnaws dogleg to eat.
"Oh, my God! Lisa, don't do that! It's so ungracious! This is barbaric Campbell said at once, talking about Lisa, but looking at Longfei.
Jiang Kexin looked at her husband discontentedly and said, "Campbell, how do you speak? Eating at home, not at a banquet, how comfortable and how to eat, how can there be so many rules? Long Fei and Su Su have their own careers. They also want to expand their careers when they come to the United States this time. " After he finished, he said to Long Fei and Lin Su Su, "you don't have to listen to Campbell, play for a few days first! Seattle has a lot of fun. Woodland Park, aquarium, Bay Ferry and so on, are very interesting places
Before Lin Su Su came here, she had video chat with her mother several times, so Jiang Kexin knew that Lin Su Su and Longfei had their own company. However, when they chatted, they mostly talked about Lin Su Su's childhood memories, so Jiang Kexin didn't know how big Longfei and Lin Su Su's company was. She subconsciously thinks that their company is just a small one. After all, they are too young to start a big business.
Campbell didn't expect that Longfei and Linsu would have their own business. He was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Oh, I'm really busy for nothing. But it's very difficult for a small company like you to think of the United States to develop its market. "
Long Fei was amused and said in secret: "I grass, which ear do you hear that brother's company is a small company? Anyway, long's group is also a group company with total assets of over 100 billion, OK
Campbell didn't notice the change of expression on Longfei's face. He just cut the steak and said: "affected by the world economic downturn, the business of the United States is not easy to do. I've been talking about a loan with Citigroup these days, but I haven't got it. By the way, what's the main business of your company? "
"Our company is mainly engaged in traditional Chinese medicine and cosmetics." Long Fei said simply.
"Oh, you want to bring Chinese medicine and cosmetics into the U.S. market?" Campbell asked in surprise.
"Yes, it is. We are going to buy a cosmetics factory. " Long Fei said.Campbell immediately some scornful said: "you'd better give up your unrealistic ideas right now! If you want to open a Chinese drugstore in Seattle, or a cupping and acupuncture clinic, maybe. But you want to cut a piece of cake from the cosmetics market in the United States. It's impossible! "
"Why not?" Long Fei asked.
"It's very simple. The cake of cosmetics market has been divided up. You can't get in and grab a cake from other people." Campbell said, no longer discuss this issue with Longfei, as if to discuss this issue with Longfei is a pure waste of time.
He turned to Jiang Kexin and said, "I heard that a few days is the birthday of Mr. Brown's daughter, the president of Citigroup. Honey, you have to prepare a generous gift for me. We have to take this loan from Citibank, or we won't be able to expand our business at all. "
"Well, I know what to do, Campbell." Jiang Kexin said.
As Campbell and Lisa both look down on Long Fei and Lin Su Su, they don't have much in common, so the atmosphere at the dinner table is rather dull. In the end, he didn't care about eating longsu, but he didn't care about eating longsu. This rebellious way of eating, on the contrary, diluted Lin Su Su's discomfort.
After dinner, Lin Su Su had planned to go out with Long Fei to stay in a hotel. She really didn't want to see Campbell's low look. But Jiang Kexin refused to let them go out to live, and told Lin Susu that this was her home. How could the world go back to her home and stay in a hotel?
Jiang Kexin also told Lin Su that although Campbell seems to be more powerful, he is not difficult. As long as Lin Su stays at home for a few days and gets familiar with each other, everything will be OK.
Seeing that her mother really didn't want to go out by herself, Lin Su Su had to live in Jiang Kexin's house. Jiang Kexin's villa is very large, and there are many rooms. It's no problem to live in Longfei and linsusu.
The next two days were quiet. Campbell was still indifferent, but she didn't bother Longfei and Linsu. Lisa had to go to school every day and didn't have time to grind teeth with Longfei and Linsu. But as soon as she saw Lin Su Su, she always liked to sneer, but when she saw long Fei, she was just like a super idol.
Jiang Kexin left his work and spent two days with Lin Su Su. At the same time, Long Fei didn't forget to inquire about Peres and walker, but to his disappointment, he didn't get any information about them!
Because Jiang Kexin had to work, two days later, Lin Su Su stopped letting her mother accompany them. She and Long Fei also began to work.
There are many tasks for Long Fei and Lin Su Su in this country. The first task is to recognize Lin Su Su and Jiang Kexin's mother and daughter. The second task is to acquire a famous cosmetics company.
Lin's cosmetics has been in short supply in the world, but now the manufacturer only has one factory in Yulin City, and the production capacity is seriously insufficient. And now many countries in the world, especially the United States, impose high tariffs on imported cosmetics. This has greatly reduced the profits of Lin's cosmetics. Therefore, Longfei plans to buy a cosmetics company in the United States to achieve local production and local sales.
If we can achieve the local production in the United States, although the production enterprises need to pay taxes to the U.S. government, the taxes are much lower than the tariffs! And the production capacity of Lin's cosmetics company can also be increased, which is the most important.
Before coming to Seattle, Lin Su Su had already taken a fancy to a Seattle cosmetics brand called "Clarins". This is a medium-sized enterprise with a market value of about US $500 million. Its products have certain market competitiveness. But since the year before last, the company has been on the decline with a bleak future.
Long Fei and Lin Su Su thought that such a company with little future would be very willing to cooperate with them, but they didn't expect that Powell, the president of "Clarins" company, was reluctant to sell the company at first, and finally called out a price of 5 billion US dollars!
Five billion US dollars, equivalent to more than 33 billion RMB!
Long Fei and Lin Su Su simply can't accept this price! That's ten times the premium of Clarins! If it is a thriving company, ten times the premium may be able to say the past, but for a declining enterprise, ten times the premium to sell, it is a joke!
As a result, Long Fei and Lin Su Su talked with Powell for a whole day without any progress. In the end, they went back to Jiang Kexin's home.
At dinner in the evening, when Jiang Kexin knew that the negotiation between them and Powell had failed, he asked her husband Campbell, "Campbell, you are going to attend the birthday dinner of Mr. Brown's daughter, President of Citigroup tomorrow. Can you bring long Fei and Su Su with you? Introduce the two of them to Mr. Brown. If Mr. Brown can speak for Long Fei and Su Su in front of Powell, I believe their negotiation with Powell will be much easier. "
