The Birth of the Hong Kong Island Family.

Chapter 237 [The Opportunity Comes]

Los Angeles, Audrey Toy Company.

Lin Zhichao, Audrey Hepburn, and Rich's management team are having a meeting in the conference room.

The owner and legal person of Audrey and the toy company is naturally Audrey Hepburn, and Rich is the CEO, and other management is also recruited by the market.

Today's Audrey Toys Company has grown into a large toy company with nearly 150 employees; within nine months of this year, it has sold 300 million Barbie dolls, and the total sales volume of Barbie dolls has reached [-] million.
Audrey Toys Company has become a star enterprise in the United States, and Audrey Hepburn has also become a Hollywood legend in the United States. From an Oscar best actress to a successful businessman, she is talked about by beauties.

Audrey Hepburn, who was sitting in the chairman's position, glanced at Lin Zhichao, and then said confidently: "We have already fulfilled the incentive equity as promised, and Audrey Toys has just started. I hope everyone will continue to work hard!"

As soon as the words fell, Rich took the lead in applauding and supporting the boss, and the rest of the management were not far behind.

In fact, the management is not stupid. Audrey He instinctively succeeded, which is closely related to Lin Zhichao.But this is not important, because Audrey Hepburn is the owner of this toy company, the major shareholder is her, the legal person is also her, and she was also the original idea of ​​Barbie dolls. Even many Barbie dolls' clothing comes from Givenchy.

Audrey Hepburn then followed her man’s guidance in advance and said: “Next, the goal of Audrey Toys is to go public. Of course, going public is just a matter of course. The real goal is to expand the influence and sales of Barbie dolls. .President Rich, can you tell us about the current situation of Barbie dolls?"

In front of the aristocratic and handsome boss, Rich quickly stabilized his mind and said seriously:

"Barbie dolls are currently receiving some social criticism, mainly because people think that Barbie dolls are too perfect, setting unattainable goals for little girls, and the end result is hurting their self-esteem and making them feel uncomfortable with their appearance and figure. Inferiority, so she is not a symbol of women~street release, but plays the role of "persecution~women."

"In order to prove that "Barbie" is not an empty-headed vase, but a professional woman, we have recently produced Barbie dolls of various professions, such as doctors, astronauts, female entrepreneurs, police officers, athletes, and even Chinese and Indians. , black people."

Step by step, although the company has had this idea several years ago, it has only recently been implemented.

Audrey heard the report from the management, and then said: "Very good! You can also develop Barbie's boyfriend, Barbie's sister, and Barbie's pet—a horse called 'Dancer'. Occupation and race, just One identity of Barbie dolls, and the Barbie doll family, will be another extension. Only by working hard to develop the peripherals of Barbie dolls, can we inspire greater potential."

At this time, the management did not dare to take a peek at Audrey Hepburn for three reasons:
First, Audrey Hepburn is an 'aristocratic' British person. Although she immigrated to the United States, she has dual citizenship and is a world star and influential.

Second, the Barbie doll is the idea of ​​Audrey Hepburn. Barbie's design and clothing design are all resources of Audrey Hepburn.

Third, they didn't expect Audrey Hepburn to be so good at doing business, so they admired her even more.

These people don't know that although Audrey Hepburn has studied business for a few days, she is not very talented. She completely followed Lin Zhichao's teaching.

And Lin Zhichao's business talent, after ten years of tempering, coupled with the knowledge of his previous life, is naturally very high.He knows that only the endless development of 'Barbie' peripherals can make Barbie flourish forever.

Rich was also very surprised in his heart. He didn't expect the boss to be so proficient in business, so he quickly said: "The boss is right, we will take good reference and realize it step by step."

Now, these management staff are also considered high salaries plus shares, so they have a strong sense of belonging to Audrey Toys Company.

Lin Zhichao finally expressed his opinion at this time, saying: "Since the company is going to be listed, it will naturally have outstanding performance. I think we should give out 5% incentive shares to all employees. Of course, there are conditions, such as one day before the listing. In 1000, the annual sales volume of Barbie dolls reached [-] million."

He understands that this achievement is also the level of the previous life, but it is already very good to be able to reach the level of the previous life!

Audrey didn't even think about it, and agreed: "I think it's okay. This time, all the employees are encouraged, and it's very fair."

Rich and others naturally have no objection, after all, this is the boss's generosity.

"We're up for the challenge!"

Soon, everyone reached a preliminary agreement, and the details still need to be notarized by a law firm.

In the end, Rich suggested: "Bill Lily has a negative impact on our Barbie dolls. Now that we have acquired him, I suggest that we arrange to stop production as soon as possible."

Barbie's profit this year can reach more than several million dollars, so she naturally doesn't cherish the acquired Billy Lily, let alone some conflicts.

Lin Zhichao knew that Audrey Hepburn could not answer this question, so he said: "I think it can! At the same time, we must pay close attention to the sales of Barbie dolls in Europe."

Audrey said: "Okay, I agree with this point of view."

Back in the car.

Audrey Hepburn excitedly held Lin Zhichao's arm and asked, "Honey, how am I doing today?"

Lin Zhichao encouraged: "You are already a qualified entrepreneur!"

Audrey Hepburn was even happier. She felt that being the owner of the Audrey Toy Company was a very fulfilling thing.Especially this year, Barbie dolls are expected to bring a profit of 300 million US dollars to the company, and the performance has soared.

"Honey, do you think Barbie dolls will sell [-] million?"

"There is no problem at all, and it will definitely be achieved within 20 years."

"My God, wouldn't I be a billionaire then!"

When this woman enjoys the life of a rich man, she will feel bad about money.Especially after having children, she will also have the idea of ​​owning more wealth.

Lin Zhichao smiled and said nothing. Although Audrey Hepburn was only his lover, becoming a mere billionaire was not easy for him.

Back at the villa, Ella and Lin Ruidong were there, and the family enjoyed dinner.

During the dinner, Ella said: "It's time for you to have another child, you can't just play with it!"

Audrey Hepburn blushed a little. There was something in her mother's words, and she only cared about 'playing'. It wasn't that Lin Zhichao liked to play, she naturally also liked to chase porcelain skin.

Lin Zhichao touched Lin Ruidong's little head and said, "Do you like my brother or my sister?"

Lin Ruidong is going to be three years old (December), and he looks more like a Westerner, but he is also very clear about the Oriental special. He said seriously: "I think it's better to be a younger brother!"

Lin Zhichao was a little surprised, shouldn't he say sister?
"why?"

"Because you can play football with me!"

Well, very simple answer.

That night, Lin Zhichao and Audrey Hepburn were really trying to make people.

After Lin Zhichao returned to Hong Kong, he got a piece of news that made him happy-Jardine Matheson sent someone to contact him, saying that if the price was right, he could sell the shares of Hong Kong Airlines to him.

Lin Zhichao immediately understood that his opportunity had come.

Jardine Matheson took the initiative to send someone to contact him, explaining that Swire Matheson had no sincerity in acquiring Hong Kong Airlines and offered a very low price.

The reason why Shi York of Swire Pacific did this was because he underestimated the enemy. He believed that it was impossible for Lin Zhichao, a Chinese, to get Hong Kong Airlines.

In fact, Shiyock didn't know that Lin Zhichao had almost opened up all the relationships, just waiting for him to make this fatal mistake.

If Shiyock is sincere in the acquisition, BOAC and Jardine Matheson will definitely give priority to Swire Matheson; but Shiyock showed the arrogance of a "savior" and felt that you could not continue to operate, so I reluctantly bought him.

Moreover, at this time, Shiyock did not realize how profitable the aviation industry will be in the future, so he lowered the price to control the acquisition cost.

Based on these reasons, Lin Zhichao immediately decided to go to London, talk with BOAC, and do some public relations activities.
