When Pollard said this, he couldn’t help but sigh: “Sometimes the adult world is like this. Everyone has a very good relationship, but because the distance is too far and each has its own life, it may be difficult to meet for three to five years. “
Immediately, he said with a serious face: “Although my love and I rarely met with your mother later, our relationship is still very deep. When your mother was alive, my love and I regarded her as a close friend. , It’s a pity that such a good person as she died young…”
Hearing this, Charlie couldn’t help feeling sad deep in his heart.
The people around their parents spoke highly of them, but unfortunately, they knew little about the deeds of the two of them.
In fact, Charlie was just a kid who had just entered the second grade of elementary school until his parents died.
Children of that age have a very simple and superficial perspective on problems and the world. He only knows that his parents loved him very much, but he does not know what kind of person their parents are.
Sometimes, Charlie envied Sara’s father Philip.
Because he has known his father for much longer than himself.
He also knew more about his father than himself.
Now, he admires Pollard very much.
Because he felt that Pollard knew his mother better than himself.
Seeing Charlie’s look lonely, Pollard couldn’t help but stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and comforted: “It has been so long, so don’t be sad about it anymore. Your mother’s life in the first two decades is really too much. Brilliant, our classmates at the time said that there must be a lack of such a good person around God, so she was sent to heaven early.”
Charlie nodded lightly.
Regarding parents, apart from sadness, he still has regrets in his heart. The most regrettable thing is that he, as their children, lacks enough understanding of their lives.
Pollard smiled at this time and said, “Let’s talk about you. How did you become the chairman of the Emgrand Group now? Didn’t you return to Wade’s house?”
Charlie smiled bitterly and said, “To be honest, I have lived in Aurous Hill for nearly 20 years, and worked as a son-in-law in the Willson family for four years. The Wade family only found me last year.”
“As for the Emgrand Group, it was also a gift they gave me. In addition to the Emgrand Group, they also gave me 10 billion in cash as compensation, but these don’t seem to make much sense to me. The Emgrand Group’s money, I haven’t moved anything yet. As for the 10 billion, I only paid the medical bills to the savior at first and bought a car and a chain of necklaces for my wife. Then I didn’t spend the money.”
Speaking of this, Charlie sighed and continued: “But it doesn’t make sense to say this. Although I don’t want to take the Wade Family’s money, I have to admit that if the Wade Family doesn’t give me these, I might still be a wasteful son-in-law accused by thousands of people and cast aside by thousands…”
Pollard sighed and said, “You have suffered so much for so many years. In fact, I would say something to the point. If your parents are still alive, you must be the richest person in the world, and even though I don’t know your father, but I have also heard of some of your father’s deeds. Back then, the Wade family relied on your parents to do everything right away to get the situation as it is today!”
“I can say very responsibly that at least 50% of the current assets of the Wade family are attributed to your parents, and what the Wade family gave you is not as good as one-tenth of the Wade family’s assets. After all, They give you less!”
Charlie smiled bitterly and shook his head: “It doesn’t matter anymore. I actually want to create a world on my own. After all, I still don’t know whether the death of my parents back then has anything to do with the Wade family. So I even hope to accumulate enough strength so that I can surpass the Wade family and even the Su family in all aspects. In this way, once the murderer of my parents is found in the future, I will be confident enough to make them pay the price.”
Pollard suddenly realized that he blurted out, “That’s why you want to do ocean transportation?”
“Yes.” Charlie nodded and said, “I don’t know how much you know about the Su family. Back then, the Su family and my father didn’t deal with it very well. The Su family even set up an anti-Wade alliance and united many other families. Come to fight my father together, so the Su family is also an enemy in my eyes. Now that family’s ocean transportation business is completely stranded. I think it is a good opportunity for me to take advantage of it. So I moved this idea.”
After speaking, Charlie said again: “I originally wanted Doris to take over this business, but he told me that doing this business requires a very thorough understanding of international trade and the laws and regulations and tax policies of major trading countries in the world. Understand, she feels she is not competent, so she recommended you to me…”
“It just so happened that we just met last night, so I came to visit today and wanted to ask you to come out and help. I didn’t expect you to be my mother’s former classmate.”
Pollard was silent for a moment, and said, “Charlie, now you choose ocean transportation as your entry point. This judgment is very correct.”
“In the future, the proportion of global trade will definitely become larger and larger. More and more large-scale manufacturing companies have begun to engage in global supply chains. Take the automobile industry as an example. A car is used in Brazil and Australia. Steel made from iron ore, rubber originally produced in Southeast Asia, high-precision electronic devices and control modules from Virtue and Japan, and then combined with China’s other upstream and downstream industrial chains and labor.”
“Among them, most of the transportation of raw materials, spare parts, and complete vehicles rely on shipping.”
“Not to mention the automobile industry. Even clothing is now a global supply chain. You can buy a coat for two to three hundred. You may use cotton from the United States, fabrics from China, The zippers made in Japan will then use labor from Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Romania. Finally, they will be shipped from these producing countries to the country and sold to you.”
“With more and more global supply chains like this, the ocean shipping market will get better and better. The Su’s license has just been revoked, which is the key to speeding up the reshuffle of the domestic ocean shipping industry.”
Charlie nodded and asked, “Professor Watt, I don’t know if you are willing to do me this favor? Feel free to mention the treatment!”
Pollard suddenly felt melancholy, sighed, and said: “Charlie, let me tell you heart-wrenching words, if I don’t give up my job, then I might now be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, or even Like Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, who made more than 100 million U.S. dollars a year easily, the reason why I gave up my high income and chose to teach in college was that I swore before my lover’s grave that I would only teach in the second half of my life. No longer in business, no longer running for money…”
Charlie asked in surprise, “Professor Watt, your lover has passed away?”
“Hmm…” Pollard sighed, “Hey, back then, the so-called entrepreneurial ambition was too strong. All the classmates around us became executives and even partners of large groups, and many others had successfully started their businesses. , Becoming billionaire rich man, I was not willing to be behind others, so I work very hard, staying at home for less than a month all year round…”
“At that time, I was flying around the world in first-class every day, and I didn’t have time to care about the lives of my wife and children.”
“Once, when I was on a business trip in Japan to discuss a project, my wife called and told me that she always had headaches recently, but I didn’t have time to take care of it. I just let her take some ibuprofen or go to the hospital to see a doctor…..”
“But who would have thought that after half a year, she would leave me because of a malignant brain tumor…”
Having said that, Pollard’s eyes were red, and he reproached himself: “From the day she was diagnosed, I realized the fatal mistakes I had made in the past so many years.”
“Money is important, but money is by no means a panacea. Money can’t replace love, family affection, or health.”
“No matter how much I earn, I can’t change my lover’s life, nor can I change my daughter’s true forgiveness to me…”
“So at that moment, I swear to her that from now on, Pollard will only teach and educate people, and will never become a slave to money!”
When Pollard said these words, Charlie knew in his heart that he had no possibility to persuade him to cooperate with him.
Moreover, he also understands a truth, called “A gentleman is not too difficult for others.”
He didn’t make any further efforts, and said very seriously: “Professor Watt, I understand what you mean, I’m sorry, I was too rash.”
Pollard hurriedly waved his hand and said, “I don’t blame you, it’s my own heart knot. Since I have promised my deceased wife, I must abide by my promise and not be ambiguous on this issue, so don’t blame me for this. “
Charlie hurriedly said, “Why? Professor Watt, I understand your decision 100%.”
Pollard smiled happily, then remembered something, and said to Charlie: “Charlie, in fact, if you want to guarantee an absolute advantage in front of the Wade family and the Su family, there is no need to be so troublesome to engage in ocean transportation by yourself.”
Charlie asked curiously, “Professor Watt, what do you mean?”
Pollard said seriously: “I think you can go to the United States to find your grandfather. With him as your backing, you don’t have to worry about the Su family or the Wade family, because even if the Su family and the Wade family are tied together, it’s not your grandfather’s opponent.”
Charlie was dumbfounded and asked, “Professor Watt, my grandpa… really has such a strong ability?”
Pollard said earnestly: “Strong? More than just being strong! There are three hugely rich families in the world, each of which is rich and powerful, one is the Ruthschild family in Europe, the other is the Saudi royal family in the Middle East, and the other is the Chinese American. settle down!”
He said, “Do you know how much wealth your mother has created for An?”
Charlie shook his head and sighed with shame: “You tell me, Professor Watt, I don’t know much about Grandpa’s family. One is that I was too young back then. Although my mother took me to Grandpa’s house several times, I’m The public family doesn’t know much about it. Another thing is, in my impression, the relationship between my mother and my grandpa doesn’t seem to be very good.”
“Yes.” Pollard nodded, and said, “Back when your mother and your dad came together and wanted to go back to China with him and marry into the Wade family. Your grandpa was very dissatisfied because your grandpa couldn’t look down on it. The An family felt that the Wade family was not worthy of being his in-laws.”
As he said, Pollard said seriously: “Actually, your grandfather is not wrong. The Wade family was really the same back then. Although it was very good in China, it is really impossible to get on the stage when looking at the world.”
Charlie asked curiously, “Then what business does my grandfather’s family do?”
Pollard said with emotion: “Your grandfather’s home, you can do almost everything, you can think of the industry, the settlement should have a certain degree of involvement, but the settlement is extremely low-key, they have thousands of companies around the world, but these On the surface, the company has nothing to do with An, and the An family rarely show up on their own. This is the same as the Ruthschild family.”
“The current industry of the Ruthschild family is not too much to outsiders, but the key is that the Ruthschild family has more than one bank and holds many shares in disguise in many banks.”
“Owning a bank is tantamount to controlling finance, and almost all companies now need to finance and go public through banks.”
“Therefore, a large family like this will naturally invest in many start-ups and listed companies through a large number of venture capital funds and stock funds. Almost all of the world’s top 500 companies in Europe and the United States have Rothschilds. The shares of the German family are just that their shareholding structure is designed so secretly and ingeniously that outsiders can’t see it at all.”
Having said this, Pollard said with admiration: “The operating route of An is similar to that of the Ruthschild family. So, how much money your grandfather has, maybe he doesn’t know how much money he owns, and I have no way of knowing. .”
“However, I know that the size of the venture capital fund that your mother established in Silicon Valley back then exceeded 10 billion U.S. dollars thirty years ago.”
“Other funds want to raise so much money. I don’t know how many wealthy individuals or even retail investors are required to raise funds. However, all the funds that your mother used back then came from An!”
“Moreover, over the years of development of Silicon Valley, I believe most people have heard of it. A large number of Fortune 500 was born here, and a large number of top IT rich were born here.
“Google, Apple, Yahoo, Cisco, Oracle, Tesla, and other top high-tech companies have all stepped out of Silicon Valley.”
“To this day, their market value has increased tens of thousands of times, and the incremental space is extremely huge!”
“Any stockholder, if he bought Apple’s stock 20 years ago, his current income would be more than 300 or nearly 400 times.”
“But did you know that your mother invested in Apple with the venture capital fund she set up before you were born!”
“At the time, Steve Jobs treated her as a guest, and when Apple’s market value was only a few billion dollars, she used hundreds of millions of dollars in exchange for 10% of Apple’s shares!”
“Now, Apple’s market value is more than two trillion US dollars, equivalent to more than 15 trillion yuan!”
“The 10% of your mother’s investment back then, after a round of dilution and reduction, there should now be about 6%!”
“How much is it converted into RMB? It’s almost 900 billion!”
“But your mother not only invested in Jobs’ Apple, but she also invested in another company at Stanford, Larry Page.”
“Larry Page is the founder of Google. Google search, Google Maps, Android phone system, and the well-known smart Go robot Alpha Dog some time ago are all products of this company.”
“Now the market value of this company is more than one trillion U.S. dollars, and your mother’s venture capital fund holds more than 10% of the company’s shares!”
“So, the income your mother received from investing in these two companies alone has exceeded the sum of all the assets of the Wade family. If all the investment income of your mother’s venture capital fund in that year is included, the Su family and Wade I’m afraid they are not opponents, let alone the assets of the entire An.”
Charlie was already stunned when he heard this!
Many people know or have heard of the miracle of Silicon Valley back then, and Charlie is no exception.
Numerous high-tech companies were born here, and there are not enough companies with a market value of more than tens of billions of dollars. There are also several companies with a market value of more than 100 billion.
Back then, anyone who could take money to invest in Silicon Valley, close his eyes and invest casually, could also invest in a lot of companies with unlimited potential.
The power of investment is that the upside is beyond imagination.
That year, Sun Zhengyi of Japan invested US$20 million in Alibaba, making a full US$50 billion;
The South African Press Group in South Africa invested more than 30 million U.S. dollars in Tencent Group, making a full $130 billion!
This is where the charm of investment lies. By seizing a potential stock, you can achieve a net profit of several thousand times.
These are classic investment cases familiar to the Chinese people.
But Charlie really did not expect that his gentle, virtuous, and knowledgeable mother would have such a brilliant investment history!
At this time, Pollard sighed and said with emotion: “Your mother’s successful cases back then will not be able to be said at all. If you have the opportunity to go to Silicon Valley, you can find the boss of a top global group and tell him your mother’s name is Margaret An, they will treat you as a guest and entertain you with the highest standard of etiquette…”
Charlie couldn’t help sighing, “If I hadn’t met you, I wouldn’t know these things about my mother…”
Pollard looked at him, smiled slightly, and said, “Your mother’s vision and long-term planning are beyond our reach.”
“Back then, we didn’t even understand your mother’s investment operations. Many of the companies she invested in did not seem to us to have any development prospects.”
“Just like Apple. When your mother invested in it, we all felt that this company had no future. At that time, there was no iPhone or even an iPod. Apple was already in a huge business dilemma.”
“At that time, your mom had returned to China with your dad and gave birth to you, and Jobs had just returned to take charge of Apple. Everyone thought that Apple was impossible to stand up, but your mom knew that Jobs was going to raise funds, and it was not far away. Came here, only talked to Jobs for an afternoon and decided to invest money in him.”
“This kind of forward-looking, more than 99.9% of ordinary people, when placed in the market, are absolute masters and absolute strategists!”
Speaking of this, Pollard smiled slightly and continued: “Even the Ruthschild family, which has been in power for two hundred years, is in awe of your mother. You don’t know how much the Ruthschild family hoped to marry the An family back then. …”
Charlie nodded slightly, and he finally understood why his father, Changying, was able to fight the Ruthschild family back and forth.
In fact, the strength of the Wade family is really not enough in front of the Ruthschild family.
As Pollard said, the family property created by the Wade family’s hard work over the years may not be as good as the income that Ruthschild can get by investing in a few companies.
In this case, the father can withstand the pressure of the Ruthschild family, and the help and aura of the mother and even the mother’s family must be indispensable.
At this time, Pollard looked at Charlie and said seriously, “So, I sincerely recommend that you go to the United States to meet your grandfather. If your grandfather is willing to help you, neither the Su family nor the Wade family is worth mentioning.”
Charlie nodded, but still said very firmly, “Thank you, Professor Watt, but I still don’t plan to see Grandpa. I have never met him a few times, and after so many years, he is right. I may not have any family ties, and, as you said, he had always been worried about my mother’s marriage to my father, and maybe he didn’t treat me very much.”
Speaking of this, Charlie laughed at himself and said: “Although I have been just a poor pauper for many years, now I still hope to be able to go on step by step by my own ability, whether it is the Su family, It’s the Wade family or some other top family. If any of them needs to take responsibility for the death of my parents, then I hope I can rely on my own ability to defeat them all by myself!”
Pollard sighed when he heard what Charlie said, and said, “Charlie, I understand your thoughts and your determination, but with the cards in your hand, you want to do this, and It’s a long way!”
With that said, he added: “Ocean shipping is an asset-heavy project. The start-up capital maybe tens of billions of dollars. I advise you to be more cautious.”
Pollard felt that Charlie should have an Emgrand Group and the 10 billion funds in his hands.
When these two things add up, it is just over 100 billion and nodded, and the possibility of trying to compete with the Wade Family or the Su Family is almost zero.
Charlie smiled slightly at this time and said, “You said Professor Watt, I still have tens of billions of funds in my hands. Moreover, I have a pharmaceutical company with good momentum and an annual profit of 10 billion It may even exceed 100 billion next year, and it is entirely possible to continue to supply blood for my other projects.”
Pollard said in surprise: “You have a pharmaceutical company with an annual profit of over 10 billion? What’s its name?”
Charlie said, “JX Pharmaceutical, I wonder if Professor Watt has heard of it?”
Pollard was even more shocked, blurting out, “It’s the company that produces JX Weisan?!”
Charlie nodded: “Yes, the current core product is JX Weisan.”
“My God!” Pollard exclaimed, and said, “JX Weisan is now well-known worldwide! My gastrointestinal tract has always been a little problematic. I also took a box of Weisan some time ago. It acted immediately. I used to not dare to eat raw, cold, or spicy food. Now I have JX Weisan. What Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Yuzhou hot pot, and Japanese cuisine are totally beyond mention… ..”
He said, “There are also many friends in the United States who have asked me to help them buy this medicine. Everyone has a reputation for this medicine, but I really didn’t expect this company to be yours. …..”
Charlie nodded and said, “Originally, I reached cooperation with Wei’s Pharmaceuticals. I reorganized Wei’s Pharmaceuticals and gave certain shares to the person in charge of this Pharmaceuticals. Then I integrated Japan’s Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals, so the production capacity is also increasing by leaps and bounds. I believe that JX Weisan will soon cover the global market. By that time, the profit of hundreds of billions of dollars a year is really not a problem.
“Indeed!” Pollard said seriously: “The biggest magic weapon of a pharmaceutical company is good medicine! The world’s top pharmaceutical companies have annual revenues of hundreds of billions of dollars, which are equivalent to several yuan. Trillion, but their net profit is generally not too high, because the research and development costs are huge, and the research and development cost of a drug can easily be billions or even tens of billions of dollars. Is the research and development cost of your JX Weisan high?”
Charlie shook his head: “The research and development cost of JX Weisan is not high, so my company, in terms of profit margin, will be larger than other pharmaceutical companies.”
Pollard couldn’t help giving a thumbs up and sighed: “This is really amazing! Look at it this way, you can build your own business map in a few years! The future is limitless!”
As he said, he sighed helplessly, and said, “To be honest, now is really a good opportunity for you to cut into ocean transportation. The market has released such a large share, and you do not lack cash flow. Quickly build up a huge transportation fleet, and then quickly advance related businesses…”
“It’s a pity that I really can’t violate my oath to help you, and the University department also has high hopes for me. I look forward to taking the economic management major of the university to the highest level in the country. I really want to The hometown elders make some long-term contributions, and hope to cultivate more outstanding talents for the future…”
Charlie nodded quickly and said, “Professor Watt, I understand what you said. In contrast, your current job has more social value and social significance. I personally understand it!”
Pollard was silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and said excitedly, “Charlie! If you don’t dislike it, let my daughter help you!”
“Your daughter?!”
Charlie was a little surprised at once.
At this time, Pollard introduced: “My daughter is about the same age as you. She just graduated from Stanford Doctorate last year and has been working for Goldman Sachs Capital on Wall Street. She was a little bit rebellious. She didn’t listen to anything I said.”
Charlie couldn’t help asking him, “Professor Watt if I want to cooperate with your daughter, can she agree?”
Pollard hurriedly said, “I have been persuading her. The economic development momentum in China is so good now, and it is much stronger than that of the United States and Europe. In terms of development potential, it must be much better than abroad. Her heart moved, but she was a little nervous with me, so my mouth was very stiff. I think if you talk to her, she should agree.”
With that, Pollard hurriedly added: “My daughter dare not say that she is a genius, but she is indeed very spiritual in finance and management. If you can convince her to help you, then I can help behind. At that time, it will be the two of us, father and daughter, helping you do things together, and I will never show up by myself. I will not violate my oath and I will only make suggestions.
Charlie was overjoyed when he heard this.
It was originally hoped that Professor Watt would be taken down, but according to this situation, it is definitely impossible for Professor Watt to directly help.
However, if he can really persuade his daughter to agree to join, then not only will Professor Watt be able to help, but also his daughter will be such a high student.
How to look at it is a very cost-effective thing.
So Charlie hurriedly asked him: “Professor Watt, I wonder where your daughter is now?”
Pollard sighed, and said: “She is now…in Syria…”
“Syria?!” Charlie exclaimed, and blurted out: “I heard that the place is turbulent all day long, why did she run there as a girl without problems?”
Pollard sighed, “Hey when I talk about it, she gets angry. This stinky girl always opposes me everywhere. I let her come to China. After all, China is not only with the most potential, but also the safest. After all, in the United States, there were various shootings in that place all day long. Walking on the side of the road would happen to be hit by bullets. But when this girl heard what I said, she immediately teamed up with a few classmates to Syria and said she was going to go really experience the cruelty of war, and then come back and start an anti-war charity fund…”
As he said, Pollard grimaced helplessly: “You say, isn’t this just trying to make trouble with me?”
Charlie nodded and smiled: “So, her character is indeed a bit rebellious.”
“It’s more than a little bit!” Pollard said a little uncomfortably, “Do you know what the most annoying thing is?”
Charlie asked puzzledly, “What is it?”
Pollard just wanted to talk, but suddenly he stopped talking.
After a while, he waved his hand and said helplessly: “Forget it, forget it, this is a shame to talk about it, I have no face to tell others…”
Seeing the pain on his face, Charlie comforted: “Professor Watt, in fact, you don’t have to be too angry. It’s normal for young people to be rebellious. And as far as I know, geniuses in many fields have more or less personalities. Some are rebellious, maybe the more such a child, the stronger the independent thinking, the more able to do some earth-shattering big things.”
Pollard suddenly covered his chest and said angrily: “You don’t know how rebellious this stinky girl is! If she just goes to Syria, I will endure it. After all, the place is chaotic, but normally they have civil strife, and they are relatively friendly to Chinese and overseas Chinese, but this girl…she…”
After talking about her a few times, Pollard suddenly got stuck again.
He blushed and became angry at her for a long time before he sighed and said sullenly: “This stinky girl, I told her the year before, she is now a big and young woman. It’s time to find someone to marry and have children. You know what she said?”
Charlie shook his head with a puzzled look, but asked a little curiously, “What did she say?”
Pollard was extremely depressed and said, “She told me that she didn’t like men!!! Tell me, a tall girl of 27 or 28 years old, she didn’t need to find anything. She even said she didn’t like men. Like women! Isn’t this going to piss me off?”
Charlie didn’t expect it to be such an answer. He said embarrassedly, “Professor Watt, I think she might be joking with you on purpose. After all, you also said that she has always been rebellious. If you let her go east, she will try to go west, maybe she didn’t really want to go west, just acting and deliberately pissing you off.”
Pollard covered his face and said, “Hey! I thought so at the beginning, but who would have thought that she brought her girlfriend to the house last year, and told me that she was planning to get married to her girlfriend in a few years… ..”
Charlie couldn’t help but wonder when he heard this.
Pollard sighed depressed at this time: “You said that I have such a child in my life. If she really married a girl, how can I see my ancestors in the future?”
After speaking, he hurriedly looked at Charlie and said seriously: “Charlie, it’s all up to you. This girl can’t communicate with me now. She doesn’t listen to what I ask her to do. You help me. She gets to Aurous Hill and asks her to work honestly with you. As long as you can help me do this, I will definitely repay you in the future!”
Charlie hurriedly said, “Professor Watt, you are serious. You are my mother’s classmate, friend, and elder. Even if you don’t do anything for me, I will do my best to help you.”
Charlie said, “Professor Watt, how about this? Give me your daughter’s contact information. I will communicate with her to see if she is interested in my work.”
“That’s great!” Pollard hurriedly patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry, although she is my daughter, she is not very reliable when I get along with her, but she is still very, very responsible in doing things. From the perspective of many years, this girl is indeed a talent. If she comes to help you, coupled with my backing support, I believe it will definitely help you do the transportation business. Therefore, if she is advised to come to Aurous Hill, she must come, I beg you.”
Charlie nodded and said seriously: “Professor Watt, rest assured, I will try my best.”
Pollard hurriedly waved his hand and said seriously: “Hey! Don’t call Professor Watt such a student, call me Uncle Watt!”
Charlie smiled slightly and said, “Okay, Uncle Watt.”
Pollard took out his cell phone and said to Charlie, “Come on, let’s add a WeChat account. I will post her WeChat business card to you when we are done. When you add her, don’t say it was recommended by me, just say you happened to see her. You are interested in working with her in-depth on papers in financial journals.”
After that, Pollard said with some embarrassment: “This girl is a bit arrogant, you should hold her up too much. If you hold her up so that you can’t find North, this will be half done!”
Charlie knows that what he lacks now is not money but talents.
Doing business is not just talking about it, it can be done by imagination.
Especially to manage a company, you must have top talents with strong enough ability to make the company bigger and stronger.
Charlie now only has two pieces of business in his hands.
One is Emgrand Group and the other is JX Pharmaceutical.
The Emgrand Group has Doris in charge, and JX Pharmaceutical is in charge of Liang.
But in addition to these two business sectors, if he wants to add other new businesses, he is stuck on talent.
Orvel is loyal, but after all, he is a rough person, and he can execute orders, but he still lacks a lot to really let him use his brain to do big things.
The rest, whether it is Qin Gang, Solmon Wang, Tailai, or even Warnia, they all have their own business, and Charlie can’t let them give up their original career to work for him.
Therefore, Charlie’s current interest is to recruit as much as possible.
If there is a strong management team, then it will not only make breakthroughs in ocean transportation but even in the future, it will be able to expand its business to more areas.
Charlie was eager to try Pollard Watt’s daughter because he was thirsty for talents.
After all, this kind of “buy one get one free” is not very common, so he must seize the opportunity if he encounters it.
But he was also very clear in his heart that Pollard was definitely not sure to call his daughter around, so he placed his hopes on him.
If he could persuade his daughter to come to Aurous Hill as he wished, Pollard would definitely remember his favor in his heart.
So Charlie took out his mobile phone and added Pollard’s WeChat account, and then Pollard recommended him a WeChat business card.
Charlie looked at the business card recommended by Pollard and found that the other party’s nickname was “Little Autumn Is Not Scared.” The head was a fat baby boy, clenched his fists, and showed an expression of working hard to cheer.
Pollard said to the side: “Charlie, let me give you a brief introduction. My daughter’s name is Melba Watt. One she should be the same year as you, but I remember that you seemed to be in the first half of the year when the spring flowers bloomed. Roughly speaking right?”
Charlie nodded and said, “I was born in the second month of the lunar calendar, just one month after the Spring Festival.”
“Yeah.” Pollard said with a smile: “I probably remember the message I received in the spring. Melba was born in the second half of the year in the fall. At that time, there were fallen leaves at the beginning, so I gave her this name.”
He said, “By the way, you remember what I told you. Don’t mention me when adding her.”
“Okay.” Charlie said hurriedly, “Uncle Pollard, don’t worry, I have a sense of measure.”
Pollard chuckled, patted Charlie on the shoulder, and said, “Charlie, your uncle’s tense relationship with my girl has to rely on you to mediate! You must do your best. Don’t give up easily!”
Charlie smiled and said, “Uncle Pollard, don’t worry, I won’t hit the south wall and don’t look back. If your daughter really doesn’t agree, as long as you nod, I will go to Syria and tie her back!”
Pollard laughed and said, “Hahaha, that shouldn’t be so troublesome. I believe in your abilities, and she should be tempted, just praise her with a few words.”
With that said, Pollard said with some worry: “Actually, my main concern is that she hasn’t played enough yet. In case she really wants to stay in the turbulent place in Syria for a year and a half, most people really can’t persuade her. She… hey, you don’t understand this girl. If she is stubborn, you won’t be able to hold her back!”
Charlie nodded and said seriously, “I try to persuade her to try to get her back soon.”
“Okay.” Pollard said hurriedly, “Or you can just add her friends right now and talk to her first.”
Charlie smiled and said, “Uncle Pollard, don’t forget, Syria has a time difference with us. If I remember correctly, they should be five or six hours slower than ours. It shouldn’t be dawn yet.”
Pollard hurriedly said, “It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter if it’s not dawn, you add her as a friend first, when will she pass, and when will you start talking to her?”
Charlie nodded: “Okay, then I will add it now, but if I add it directly, it will show that the recommender is you. I’d better copy her WeChat account.”
After that, he clicked on the business card, copied the WeChat ID, and added it again, and wrote nine words on the reason for the addition: Director of Aurous Hill Emgrand Group?
After the request to add a friend was sent, only a minute later, Charlie received the information that the other party had applied for through his friend.
He couldn’t help but said in surprise: “Uncle Pollard, your daughter hasn’t slept so late yet.”
Pollard said angrily: “I guess she can’t sleep. If you throw me into that broken place, I guess I can’t sleep either.”
After speaking, he hurriedly urged: “Charlie, you can talk to her quickly and find out how she is now.”
“Okay.”
After Charlie finished speaking, he sent a message to Melba: “Hello, Miss Watt, I am Charlie, Chairman of Aurous Hill Emgrand Group. I want to talk to you about cooperation. I wonder if you are interested?”
The other party quickly replied with a voice: “Did Pollard ask you to find me? You tell him that I will not go to Aurous Hill, so that he will not waste energy.”
Pollard heard his daughter’s words and said depressed: “Charlie, just tell him that you don’t know me at all. If you let her know that we are in collusion, she would definitely not want to come.”
Charlie nodded and continued to reply in text: “Miss Watt, you have misunderstood. I don’t know Pollard. I just saw your papers in financial journals. I feel that you are really good at international finance and economic management. Great insights. It just so happens that I am now preparing to expand a new project to do ocean shipping. I just lack a person in charge, so I thought of you.”
The other party asked again by voice: “If you were not sent by Pollard, where did you get my WeChat?”
Pollard was dumbfounded.
Just when he didn’t know what wording and reason Charlie should use to explain this question, Charlie responded with a voice, “Miss Watt, I found you through an international headhunting company. In order to get your contact information, I also paid a headhunting fee of $50,000. Originally, the headhunter should contact you first, but I think it’s more direct and efficient to contact you personally for such major cooperation .”
Headhunting companies are companies that specialize in digging out middle and high-level talents. They are like real estate agents and know all kinds of listings. In theory, as long as they are given money, there is no owner information that they cannot get.
At this point, the same is true for headhunting companies.
Pollard immediately gave him a thumbs up when he heard Charlie’s words. This explanation seemed to him to be seamless.
Sure enough, Melba on the other side didn’t doubt it either. She replied: “I understand, but I’m really sorry. I’m in Syria now, and it may take at least half a year before I leave this place. I may not be able to talk to you. I’ve cooperated, I’m really sorry!”
