The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

Los Angeles, Audrey Toys.

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

The boss and legal person of Audrey and the toy company is naturally Audrey Hepburn, while Ritchie serves as the CEO, and other management personnel are also recruited from the market.

Today, Audrey Toy Company has grown into a large toy company with nearly 100 employees. In nine months this year, it sold 1.5 million Barbie dolls, and the total sales of Barbie dolls has reached 3 million.

Audrey Toy Company has become a star company in the United States, and Audrey Hepburn has also become a legend in American Hollywood. She has transformed from an Oscar-winning actress to a successful businessman, and is talked about by everyone.

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

As soon as he finished speaking, Rich took the lead in applauding in support of his boss, and the rest of the management team was not far behind.

In fact, the management is not stupid. Audrey Hein's success is closely related to Lin Zhichao. But this is not important, because Audrey Hepburn is the boss of this toy company. She is the major shareholder and the legal person. She was also the original idea of ​​Barbie doll. Even many of Barbie's clothes come from Givenchy.

Audrey Hepburn then followed her husband's guidance in advance and said: "Next, the goal of Audrey Toy Company 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 me what is the current situation of Barbie?”

In front of the aristocratic and extremely beautiful boss, Rich quickly calmed down and said seriously:

"Barbie is currently being criticized by some people in society. Mainly because people feel that Barbie is too perfect and sets unachievable goals for little girls. The end result is that it hurts their self-esteem and makes them feel uncomfortable about their appearance and figure. She has low self-esteem, so she is not a symbol of women's liberation, but plays the role of "persecuting women"."

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

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

Audrey heard the management's report and then said: "Very good! We can also develop Barbie's boyfriend, Barbie's sister, and Barbie's pet - a horse called 'Dancer'. The occupation and race are just Barbie's identity, and the Barbie family, will be an extension. Only by working hard to develop Barbie's peripherals can greater potential be unleashed."

At this time, the management did not dare to take a peek at Audrey Hepburn. There are three reasons:

First, Audrey Hepburn is an "aristocratic" British person. Although she immigrated to the United States, she has dual nationalities and is a world star and influential.

Second, Barbie is Audrey Hepburn’s creation. Barbie’s design and clothing design are all Audrey Hepburn’s resources.

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

Little did these people know that although Audrey Hepburn had studied business for a few days, her talent was not high. She completely followed Lin Zhichao's teachings.

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

Richie was also surprised. He didn't expect his boss to be so proficient in business. He quickly said: "The boss is right. We will take it as a reference and implement 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 and said: "Since the company is going to be listed, it will naturally have outstanding performance. I think it should give another 5% of incentive shares to all employees. Of course, there are conditions, such as one day before going public. In 2016, Barbie sold 10 million dolls annually.”

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 are up for the challenge!”

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

Finally, Rich suggested: "Bea Lilly has had a negative impact on our Barbie dolls. Now that we have acquired her, I suggest that we 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."

On the way back to 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 more happy. She felt that being the boss of Audrey Toy Company was a very fulfilling thing. Especially this year, Barbie is expected to bring a profit of three million US dollars to the company, and its performance has soared.

"Honey, do you think Barbie will sell 100 million units?"

"There is no problem at all. It will definitely be achieved within twenty years."

"Oh my god, then I will become a billionaire!"

When this woman enjoys the life of a rich man, she will become obsessed with money. Especially after having children, she will also have the idea of ​​having more wealth.

Lin Zhichao smiled and said nothing. Although Audrey Hepburn was just his lover, it was not easy for him to become a mere billionaire.

Back at the villa, Ella and Lin Ruidong were both 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!"

Audrey Hepburn blushed, there was something in her mother's words, she only cared about 'playing', and it wasn't just that Lin Zhichao liked to play, she naturally also liked chasing porcelain skin.

Lin Zhichao touched Lin Ruidong's little head and said, "Do you like your younger brother or your younger 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 be talking about his younger sister?

"Why?"

"Because you can play football with me!"

Well, simple answer.

That night, Lin Zhichao and Audrey Hepburn were really trying to create 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 sincerely buys, 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.
