Feeling the doubtful eyes of girl A, Simon held the quiet and obedient woman in his arms and changed his posture. Feeling the pleasant scent of a woman, he seemed to whisper casually: "I remember reading a point of view in a book. , A, a fish that landed on the shore is no longer a fish.”

It is obviously impossible for girl A to have read a certain novel, so she cannot understand the cruelty contained in this seemingly simple sentence.

Simon didn't explain any more, and continued to finalize some matters. He pushed the woman in his arms, and the three of them left the study and walked to the dining room together. Audrey Hepburn's classic little black dress extension style, your figure is very good, and your temperament is more suitable."

The woman held Simon's arm, a little embarrassed, but after all, for the sake of pleasing herself, imitating the habits of Westerners, she said, "Thank you, Simon."

When they arrived at the restaurant, Chen Qing, Lin Su and the girl who changed her name to MiuMiu were all waiting.

Simon sat down at the dining table, waited for the waitresses to serve breakfast and left, took a sip of milk, picked up the tableware and started eating, and said to Lin Su, "Your brother's matter has come to an end, a member of the MIT Earth Resources Laboratory A professor can accept him as a doctoral student, focusing on exploration. This is a very practical research direction. After graduation, he can enter a large oil and mining company. Of course, the premise is that your brother must be able to graduate successfully. Science and engineering are different from literature, history and law. If the professional skills are not solid enough, even if I help him get a degree in the future, there will be no development in the future.”

Lin Su nodded, showing gratitude, but it was hard to say too much in front of the women around her.

Moreover, there is still some hesitation.

Simon didn't wait for Lin Su to speak, and said directly: "Forget about the other one. If she wants to come to the United States, I suggest marrying your brother directly, and then come to study with her as a family member. There is no need to go to some school to waste time."

Lin Su suddenly felt a little resentful.

However, she also knew that this could not be forced.

It was unexpected that a man could help his younger brother, let alone MIT.

Lin Su's younger brother, Lin Dong, majored in geophysics at Peking University and is about to complete his master's degree this year. In fact, Lin Dong has been applying for overseas study since his undergraduate studies, but his application failed at that time and he had to stay in school for graduate studies.

Now that the graduate student is about to graduate, Lin Dong has started the idea of ​​studying abroad for a Ph. D. The initial goal is of course MIT and Caltech, two prestigious universities with the strongest geophysics majors. Unfortunately, several applications have no results, and finally he only got Northwestern University. self-funded study abroad offer.

Although it is considered a top-ranked university in the United States, Northwestern University is not among the Ivy League, and the ranking of geophysics is even lower.

Originally, without Simon's help, Lin Dong would still choose this school to study for a doctorate. The last time he asked his sister to come here, he mainly hoped that she could help him find out and help his girlfriend Bai Lan go abroad together.

Lin Su didn't want to do this at first.

Because a certain guy likes to do this very much, she felt that it was malicious, but she couldn't stand her brother's begging.

On the weekend, I mustered up the courage to talk to Simon, but unexpectedly, I got the result so quickly, and it was still MIT.

MIT ah.

Because she was worried about her younger brother's study abroad, Lin Su happened to know that this year's Peking University graduates, combined with their undergraduate, master's and doctoral degrees, currently only two people have been admitted to MIT, and they are all at their own expense.

In addition, from what he said just now, Lin Su also knew that the man had put all his heart into this matter, and even considered his younger brother's future employment.

Before that, Lin Su also paid attention.

Geophysics is a very strong major at Peking University, but it is not too popular. Although Peking University graduates are definitely not short of jobs, it is difficult to find a good job when the domestic graduate distribution system is canceled this year. easy.Most of the graduates of this major have entered various government research departments such as earthquake bureaus or research institutes, and the better ones are oil companies and mining companies, which requires connections.

The Lin family did not lack contacts, but Lin Dong was not satisfied with some of the earlier arrangements.

That's why I want to study abroad.

Moreover, the expectations for future career that Lin Dong and Lin Su had talked about before coincided with Simon's arrangement.After all, marginal departments like the Seismic Bureau Research Institute have very narrow upward channels, and oil and gas mining companies are the best choice, which requires the research direction to be biased towards exploration.

It's just that the man obviously ignored the other one.

Lin Dong's girlfriend, the girl named Bai Lan, is different from the dissatisfaction of the second younger sister Lin Lan towards Bai Lan. Lin Su actually has a good impression of that girl.

Think again about the men's advice.

Get married, and then come over as family members to accompany you to study.

Humph.

Machismo.

Of course, I only dare to think about it in my heart.

Although, for some reason, deep down in my heart, it may be a way.

The girl majored in Applied Physics at Beijing University of Science and Technology. Because she is pretty, she was spotted by her younger brother during some school exchanges. Results, in short, I also applied for studying abroad since last year, but I didn't get a single offer.

Anyway, if you refuse to help, then I will do it myself.

Machismo.

Just thinking about this in his heart, Lin Su heard Simon say again: "Also, if you don't want to raise trash, wait for your brother to come over, I suggest you not pay for his tuition, let him work and study on his own. Also, if he If you want to go further, you’d better take a business administration course while studying for a Ph.D. It’s best to get a degree.”

Lin Su knew that the man's suggestion was correct, but she was a little bit annoyed by a certain word in his words: "My brother is not a waste."

"Yeah, I've seen his resume during Peking University, it's still great. That's why I remind you, don't give him money, he is 24 years old now, it's too late to enter the society, if you don't let him accept a little bit The world is miserable, lacks the ability to handle things, and may become a nerd in the future. The best way out for this kind of person is to do scientific research all his life and stay in the ivory tower."

Lin Su really wanted to refute, but after a little hesitation, she hummed lightly.

Simon suddenly showed a somewhat nasty smile, looked at Lin Su and said, "If you don't want to be ruthless, then I'll take care of it for you."

Lin Su was puzzled, and also a little wary because of the man's smile.

The smile on Simon's face overflowed: "According to our relationship, your brother is also my brother-in-law, and it is only natural for brother-in-law to teach brother-in-law."

When Lin Su heard these words, she was stunned for a moment, her face turned red suddenly, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at the man again.

But Simon became interested: "Then it's decided. According to the saying that Chinese parents often say, leave the child to me, and don't be polite about beating or scolding. Don't worry, I won't be polite."

Lin Su almost wanted to run away, but in the end he held back and subconsciously said, "Don't hit him."

"Don't worry, it won't break."

"..."

After Simon finished speaking, he still had some ideas, so he turned to Chen Qing.

this is not OK.

So he looked at Ms. Liu again.

Turn again.

Then his eyes fell on a certain little girl.

The little girl who was eating felt Simon's eyes and raised her face to look over.

In fact, I have been listening in just now, and the little girl is far from being as ignorant as she looks, but just a certain instinct, thinking that this can please the adults.

Simon looked at a certain little girl, and said in a persuasive manner, "MiuMiu, can you call me Dad from now on?"

The little girl blinked, looked at her mother, got some hints and encouragement, and quickly said softly: "Father."

Simon was very satisfied, and finally saw Girl A beside him.

Alison gave her indifferent boss a slight look, and suddenly said softly, "Dad."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Being stared at strangely by several women, big and small, Simon couldn't bear it anymore, coughed dryly, changed the subject, and said to Lin Su: "Also, I have also read about the several project proposals submitted by Hangzhou. Only two are better, one is the investment in Wawaha, which is an excellent company, and must be won. In addition, there is the Nongfu Spring drinking water project, which we can fully invest in.”

Needless to say, Wahaha.

Nongfu Spring became famous later on. However, this company does not exist now, it is just a project being planned by an enterprise in Zhejiang Province.

Wahaha, which was established in the 80s and developed very rapidly, Simon never thought of buying it out. This company is now almost on par with Jianlibao. Therefore, being able to invest this time is actually a bit beyond Simon's expectations. No matter how much the investment is, No matter how many shares you get, it is definitely a very cost-effective investment.

As for Nongfu Spring, since it is a drinking water project under planning, and considering the future development prospects, it is of course better to buy out directly.

Simon changed the subject, and the women at the dinner table didn't pursue the small details just now.

Although Lin Su's hometown is attracting investment, Chen Qing is actually following up. After Simon finished speaking, before Lin Su could speak, she asked, "Boss, what about Geely? I think Geely is the one among several projects." The one with the greatest potential. The boss has been paying attention to China's auto industry and should know it."

Simon nodded: "Yes."

In the current Chinese auto market, although the annual sales volume is only about 150 million, it is definitely a profiteering industry. All kinds of models are in a seller's market at this time, and the profits are very rich.Moreover, the greater potential of China's auto industry lies in the future. Ten or 20 years later, for global auto companies, those who win China will win the world.

Chen Qing was even more puzzled: "Then..."

Simon suddenly changed his English and said to Chen Qing, "That's why we can't invest."

At the dinner table, the little girl who was listening raised her head in doubt, wondering why Simon suddenly changed to English she could not understand.Ms. Liu also paused slightly. In order to prepare to go abroad earlier, she actually knew some English, but it was limited to daily communication.She understood the sentence just now, but at this time she pretended very cleverly that she didn't understand, and continued to eat slowly.

Seeing that her boss had changed to English, Chen Qing glanced left and right, and then simply changed to French: "Boss, I don't understand it very well."

Now even Lin Su couldn't understand.

Simon also changed his French, and said to Chen Qing: "In China now, the threshold for entering the automobile industry is very high. You must know this. You must also feel that with the influence accumulated during my last trip to China, if we invest in Geely , it must be no problem to get a car production license, right?"

Chen Qing nodded.

Simon said: "However, have you ever thought that we are competing with China's current major state-owned auto giants for market and profits. For some people, the auto industry is private land, so this is a very offensive thing. , it will quickly consume the love accumulated during my last trip to China. Love is like wine. It is a waste of money to drink it immediately after brewing. Therefore, it needs to be stored in the cellar and released just right in the future , in order to maximize the benefits.”

Chen Qing understood.

In the past two years, China's layout has been very smooth. At this time, Chen Qing realized that she had become a little arrogant and slack, and she was not as keen as her boss about some things that should have been easily remembered in the past. She couldn't help but reflect on herself.

Across the dining table, Simon continued: "Besides, if the benefits are large enough, I don't mind expending the corresponding affection in advance. But in fact, because the economy is improving, the European and American auto industry cycles are at their peak. We want to To invest in China's auto industry, only funds are not enough, and cooperation with European and American auto companies is indispensable. Due to the overheating of the industry, it will be very expensive to seek such cooperation now, and the gains outweigh the losses."

Chapter 937 Some people are happy and some are sad

Want to know how profitable China's auto industry is in this era?

The famous Santana is the most typical case.

The new-generation Santana 2000, which just started mass production in China last year, is priced at 18 yuan as standard, not including tax.

The Santana is based on the Volkswagen Passat.

The Santana 2000 was refitted from the Passat B3 platform. During domestic mass production, the overseas B3 platform was actually eliminated. In 1996, the Passat B series under Volkswagen had developed to the B5 platform. So, what is the price of the latest Passat B5 model?

$3000 to $5000!

With the current RMB/USD exchange rate of around 8.31, even if the overseas market is calculated based on the high configuration of US$5000, the price of this car is only in the early RMB 4 equivalent.

Overseas 4, domestic 18, the price difference is a full 4.5 times.

Because it is a joint venture brand, Santana 2000 only involves high tariffs on some parts that need to be imported. According to public information, the current self-production rate of Shanghai Volkswagen’s Santana series parts has reached more than 60%. Counting the tariffs on imported parts, the cost of the domestically produced Santana 2000 will definitely not differ too much from that of similar overseas models.

However, the price can vary by 4.5 times.

You can imagine the huge profits!

Such huge profits are obviously not something that just anyone can get involved in.At this stage, like telecommunications, petroleum and other fields, the automobile industry is basically monopolized by large state-owned enterprises.

Now that the market economy has been encouraged, it is not impossible for private enterprises to build cars, but there are thresholds.

Very clear threshold.

15 million.

If you can come up with 15 billion, I can consider giving you a car production license.

Gee!

At the current stage of China, most companies can't squeeze out 15 billion yuan.

Therefore, until the policy was gradually loosened after 2000, many domestic auto brands, whether they were state-owned or private companies, were actually black cars without "hukou", surviving quietly in the gray area between local protection and policies. After all, the domestic auto industry The windfall profits are too eye-catching.

Of course, less than one out of ten survived in the end.

Geely is one of them.

Although Lin Su was entrusted by his hometown to attract investment, Chen Qing obviously did a lot of homework.

After Simon vetoed it, Lin Su stopped talking because of some of the man's words just now, but Chen Qing still wanted to win over: "Boss, we have investigated carefully, the auspicious Li is a very capable person, aren't you Have you said that the most important thing to invest in China at this stage is to bet on people? Since the complete plan does not work, or we can invest less.”

Simon asked with a smile, "How much do you think is appropriate?"

Chen Qing said: "Geely's family property is about 1 million yuan. If we invest 1000 million US dollars, we should be able to get about 40% of the shares. Boss, this is a very good deal."

Simon's smile remained unchanged: "Then, whether it is active or passive, the Westeros system will be bound to this company, and China will also believe that I intend to get involved in the automobile industry. Plus you are so restless, the result will be It's hard to predict."

Being bluntly told by her boss that she was restless, Chen Qing immediately looked very hurt, and said pitifully: "Boss, I listen to you very much."

"It's not a good time for either side to get involved in the auto industry. Two conditions, wait for China's accession to the WTO, wait for the next downturn in the auto industry, and then we will make a move." Simon ignored Chen Qing pretending to be pitiful, shook his head again, and then directly changed the subject , also switched back from French to Chinese: "Tell me another thing, how is your computer company preparing?"

Chen Qing found that there was no need to discuss, and she was not entangled, so she switched to Chinese and said: "The first computer has already started warming up and promoting, and the running score software mentioned by the boss has been developed by the team I hired in Silicon Valley. Internal testing is underway, by the way, boss, do you want to give this software a name?"

This goblin obviously caught a little liking of Simon.

Name it.

Simon didn't refuse either. After thinking for a while, he noticed a certain loli eating obediently across the table, and said, "MiuMiu."
