The journey starts from the Titanic

Situ Nanxin, Australians have the same eating habits as the British. The British eat more steaks and fish steaks. In fact, the British control more fishing grounds, but the Dutch and Americans catch the best. , And the Japanese are also developing ocean fishing operations.

"Go to Australia to raise pearls?" Situ Nan asked He Yongyuan with a smile, and said in his heart: This kid has a very positive attitude!It is estimated that I have taken a fancy to this project.

"Yes. Compared to farming and grazing in Australia, it is more convenient to farm and fish in Australia or the South Pacific. We have less conflict with the whites. Of course, South China itself has good geographical conditions and cannot be given up."

He Yongyuan nodded.After spending a lot of talking, I just wanted Situ Nan to understand that Little Pearl can accomplish great things.

Situ Nan doesn't pay much attention to pearls as jewelry, but Situ Nan can't help but make pearl powder make beauty products.The current chemical products are far less abundant than decades later. Although the cost of artificial cultured pearls is higher, the market potential is not small, especially in the European and American markets. Which women with money and no money don't apply them to their faces?Even decades later, there seems to be a big market for pearl whitening and beauty.

"Okay! Let's treat the South China Sea and the South Pacific as our pastures! I leave it to you. Wherever you need money, please find your wife! She seems to be very careful about this."

Situ Nan smiled.

Not long after returning from the Peugeot family banquet, the shrewd woman of Chanel really came to the door.Situ Nan introduced He Yongyuan to her about pearls and other luxury goods business cooperation. With Laura's enthusiasm, He Yongyuan and Chanel had a very happy conversation.

"Mr. Ho, your pearl powder beauty advice is very good. I am very tempted. Have you found a way to cultivate pearls on a large scale? As far as I know, this technology is in the hands of the Japanese."

Chanel looked at He Yongyuan with a smile.She was a little disappointed never to see Situ Nan again, but compared to the unpredictable Situ Nan, He Yongyuan, who was passionate about this business, was much easier to deal with.

Of course, for Situ Nan, this is just a small business, and it is normal to not be taken seriously.Chanel thought.What she cares most is whether she can find rich and cheap pearl producing areas.

"Of course. The Chinese have more than a thousand years of experience in culturing pearls, just like we invented gunpowder. Although we didn't apply for a patent, it doesn't mean that we won't. The Japanese are just speculation."

He Yongyuan self-channel.The Japanese invented a patent for pearl cultivation. Does he have the ability to manage South China?In fact, in order to calculate the patent case, Situ Nan has too many accounts to calculate with the Japanese.

"You are very humorous, Mr. He." Chanel smiled reservedly, showing a bit seductive, but He Yongyuan's aesthetic standards had not evolved to the point where he was close to Situ Nan, and he was not at all moved by the French aunt's flattery.

"What's right. I have been to South China and China. The pearls there are indeed very famous. I will show them to you!" After a while, Laura took out a string of pearl necklaces, a total of 12 pearls, each full of crystals. rare.

"It has a history of hundreds of years. It is said to be the collection of the ancient royal family." Laura laughed.She has good accessories for traveling, and this string of pearls is one of them.

"Oh! It's so beautiful." Chanel was fascinated by the charm of the jewels. It was the first time she saw such a precious pearl necklace.

"The boss is right. Women showing off their jewelry are the same as men showing off their cars." He Yongyuan thought.

After having been with Situ Nan for so long, he was too aware of Situ Nan's ability to scrape treasures in China, black and white, using all means.A huge collection room has been built in my Los Angeles home, and every piece of it makes people jealous.

"This is from Nanhua?" Chanel stroked the necklace, and gestured to his chest again, with a look of affection.

"Of course. I believe there are better ones out there, don't you, ho?"

Laura smiled and turned to He Yongyuan, her eyes with encouragement.

"Yes. If Nanhua's pearls cooperate with the Paris fashion industry, the prospects are boundless." He Yongyuan smiled and nodded.

After discussion, He Yongyuan, on behalf of Nanhua and Chanel, reached a cooperation plan to unveil Nanhua Pearl's entry into the luxury goods sector in Paris.

In the next step, He Yongyuan and the William family behind him will invest in the pearl farming industry in South China and Australia and occupy the upstream industries of the jewelry and beauty industries.

While Situ Nan was discussing the Olympics with Zhang Bangxian, He Yongyuan walked in with a smile on his face.

"Is that woman gone?" Situ Nan asked.

"Yeah. That's not easy. It almost treats us as a slave factory. It's a big deal." He Yongyuan wiped his sweat, and it was not easy to bargain with the woman from Chanel, almost laboriously talking.

"Hehe. It's okay, someday, she will beg of us." Situ Nan said disdainfully, poured a glass of wine for He Yongyuan with a smile, and sat down, "Luxury stuff depends on the brand, directly targeting people's Vanity is actually just a better product. To put it bluntly, it is pretending to be forced to sell for money."

"Hehe. This is too straightforward." He Yongyuan couldn't help but smile.

Situ Nan ignored him and continued: "Remember that Meihua Company inherited the Dutch spice business in Nanhua, and Nanhua accounted for one-third of the spice business in Asia. If you include the Ming Dynasty in the east of Sulawesi Guru Islands, the spices produced in the South China Islands almost monopolize the production of spices in Asia. Think about it, what does this mean?

"Yes! Except for some of the French spices imported from the Annan area, don’t the others come from South China and the Netherlands belonging to the Bengkulu Islands? Meihua has a certain technological accumulation in flavor technology. Although it does not currently produce finished products, it needs to be sold. It’s not too difficult to own a brand."

He Yongyuan thought of this, with a hint of pride in the corner of his mouth.I patted my forehead, thinking of pearls, why didn't I think of spices?

"You mean we invest in our own perfume factory in Nanhua?" He Yongyuan asked Situ Nan with a smile.

"Look at Nanhua, what should I do? You can try it if you are interested, but those guys are busy in the chemical industry. They don't care about perfume.

Situ Nan encouraged He Yongyuan and his family to participate in this spice business, and would not mind transferring the related business to them if the other party wanted to.

Compared to the spice pearl business, Situ Nan cooperated with the Peugeot family.He has plenty of time to deal with this matter, so he will not rush, lest he let the Peugeot family know his urgency.

In fact, Chrysler is not going to hang itself at Peugeot.After the meeting with the Peugeot family, Situ Nan invited Chrysler to meet with Andre, the founder of Citroen?Citroen is a guest at home.

Chapter 16 Investing in Citroen

After the Citroen Company was acquired by Peugeot, it mainly produced small passenger cars and light passenger cars, but in 1924, Andre?Citroen's desire for cheap and comfortable cars that can popularize the masses is unmatched.

After receiving Situ Nan's invitation, he plunged into the William Castle on the outskirts of Paris and came to meet Situ Nan.

A car with white characters on a red background and a Peugeot-shaped gear drove into Situ Nan. Down there was a middle-aged man with a straight military uniform and many buttons on it. His gorgeous and coquettish look showed that this man was born in a French officer.

What is impressive is that he wears a pair of white eyes, his eyes are gentle and focused, and he has an engineer's temperament.In this era, it is not uncommon for soldiers and engineers to be mixed together.

"Mr. Citroen, or Captain?" Situ Nan greeted him with a smile and took the initiative to shake hands.

"Hello, Mr. William." Citroen was taken aback at Situ Nan's joke, and then came over with a smile."I didn't expect to be so young."

"Many people say that." Situ Nan humorously, and the two met and smiled.

"This is Jeff, the international commissioner of Chrysler. He is in charge of business in Europe." Situ Nan introduced a man in a suit next to him. The specific negotiation details are also the responsibility of the commissioner Jeff, who came from the United States. Situ Nan didn't want to ruin his trip to France because of the car company.

After turning around the car, he smiled and nodded: “Citroen’s Model A car is very cool. I often see this car in Paris and I love it.”

"Really? Great! I would love to give you the latest Citroen, sir." Citroen took the opportunity to look at Situ Nan with enthusiasm.

"Thank you." Situ Nan smiled happily, and said in his heart: As expected, everything is a virtue!A few days ago, he just received a Peugeot car.

"As a gift, I think that to show the sincerity of Chrysler, I should send a Qitroen car to Mr. Citroen. Jeff, don't you think so?" Situ Nan smiled and said to Jeff beside him.

"Of course. But it will be next month at the earliest, you know, the airflow cards are selling crazy in the United States." Jeff responded with a smile.In return, Situ Nan also prepared a new car for Peugeot.

"Airflow, I know, a great guy, suitable for ordinary people. Chrysler has achieved great success, congratulations." Citroen envied.If it wasn't for the same success to be repeated on Citroen, why should he come here?

Compared with the cunning old Peugeot, Citroen has a more bold personality, which is probably related to his being a soldier.At the same time, he also played the roles of a superb engineer and a shrewd businessman.

In 1900, at the age of 22, Citroen purchased a patent for cutting herringbone gears from Poland.Then, the young man who graduated from a comprehensive engineering school founded the Citroen Gear Factory.In 1919, Citroen Automobile Company was established and began its tireless pursuit in the automobile industry.

Among the three major French car companies, Citroen was established the latest and has the least qualifications. For rapid development, it is more aggressive and more open. This is more like Chrysler.

Chrysler has experienced the test of World War I and produced tanks. It is much stronger than Citroen in terms of capital and technology accumulation. After the acquisition of Dodge, the development was even more out of control. Now it has developed into the European auto market. .

"Sir, I am here today to talk about the cooperation between us, hoping to introduce a new car production line from Chrysler, including a full set of equipment."

Citroen sat down and said to the point.He picked up the coffee and took a sip, paying attention to Situ Nan's expression.

Any car manufacturer will not easily sell its own production line to others, besides, it is still a hot-selling airflow brand car?As far as Citroen knows, the other party is also negotiating related cooperation with Peugeot.
