Chapter 136 Jingqiu Fashion Investment Company (for subscription)
After investing in Berkshire Hathaway, Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu returned to Beverly Hills, Los Angeles again.

After a period of reflection, Li Zetian decided to gradually delegate power to others.Of course, this is not because Li Zetian is lazy, but to train them.He can't do everything by himself, otherwise he will die of exhaustion.Moreover, Li Zetian discovered a very serious problem. Although it is not obvious now, there are already signs of this.

That is, too many people rely too much on Li Zetian, thinking that he has a steady stream of ideas, and they do it themselves, which makes the company lose its innovation and enthusiasm.

Regardless, the sheep-herding style of management may be more suitable for Li Zetian now.No matter how capable the founder is, his energy and ability are limited. Decentralization of authority is an important organizational and management principle of modern enterprise management.Decentralization of power can not only leave more time for managers to conceive and plan the development of the enterprise, but also give employees certain authority, mobilize their enthusiasm, and allow employees to give full play to their talents within the scope of authority.

Yu Jingqiu was wearing a sexy swimsuit and sunglasses, lying on a sun lounger next to the swimming pool, basking in the sun. The warm summer breeze gently blew her long hair up.Beside Yu Jingqiu, Li Zetian opened the sunscreen and wiped it from head to toe with light and gentle movements.

"Honey, I've already bought the wedding island, and arranged for an architectural design firm and construction team to go there." Li Zetian said while picking up a grape from the fruit plate, eating it.

"What's the name of this island?" Yu Jingqiu asked.

"Necker Island, I can assure you, is absolutely gorgeous! It's 74 acres (nearly 30 square meters) in the Caribbean Sea, with a mild climate and stunning scenery, surrounded by a coral reef and a rich variety of marine flora and fauna."

This island was not chosen randomly by Li Zetian. On the contrary, after thousands of choices, Li Zetian decided to buy this island.

Although it is a small island, it has a lot of background!

Originally in 1979, Richard Branson, chairman of the British super giant Virgin Group, accidentally discovered the island. He was shocked at the time and claimed that it was the most beautiful place he had ever seen!Later, he bought the island at an ultra-low price of 20 pounds, and built it into a unique super resort in the world. With a rental price of 53000 US dollars per night, it ranks among the top ten most expensive private islands in the world.Hollywood celebrities gather here, Google founder Page once got married here, and the entire family also goes here for vacation. This luxurious paradise in the British Virgin Islands can be said to be everyone's highest dream!
"I have always been at ease about your vision." After Yu Jingqiu finished speaking, she sat up, hooked Li Zetian's neck, and smiled like a flower.

Li Zetian picked up a small grape and fed it into her mouth, "I contacted the famous Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani, and he will come to our house in a few days, and then tailor the wedding dress for us."

Yu Jingqiu thought for a while and asked, "Giorgio Armani? Is he the founder of Armani Company?"

"Yes, in 1975, he founded the Armani company." After Li Zetian finished speaking, he laughed.

Yu Jingqiu already knew Li Zetian very well. After he said this, he laughed inexplicably. Yu Jingqiu immediately understood what Li Zetian had planned.

"Honey, you're not going to invest in Armani, are you?"

"Why not?" Li Zetian shrugged and smiled, "Armani has only been established for one year. If we invest, we don't need to spend a lot of money. Even if it loses money, we don't care. If the company develops, then It will be of great benefit to us!"

Yu Jingqiu shook her head and said with a smile: "You, you, you just invested in Berkshire Hathaway before, and this time you plan to invest again..."

"Hey, it's good to make money to support you!" Li Zetian hugged her and kissed her.

……

Three days later, Giorgio Armani arrived.

Li Zetian didn't mention the matter of investing in the company to him at first, and only after he tailored himself and Yu Jingqiu did he say so.

"Mr. Giorgio Armani, I heard that you established the Armani company last year. I wonder if you need financing? Technology leads fashion! Although our husband and wife are involved in the technology industry, we are actually related to the fashion industry. In terms of design concepts, Apple pursues the ultimate beauty of simplicity! As far as I know, the Armani brand logo is an eagle looking to the right. The eagle symbolizes the brand's highest quality, excellence and craftsmanship, and it pursues a supreme simplicity And elegance. In fact, it is precisely because of this that I chose you as the designer of our wedding dress!"

Giorgio Armani didn't expect such a thing, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Li, how much do you plan to invest?"

Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu glanced at each other, and then replied: "Invest 120 million dollars."

Giorgio Armani breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the other party would invest too much and his own shares would be diluted too much, so he would definitely refuse.

"Okay, no problem!" He nodded and said, "The specific number of shares you can hold will be determined after asset evaluation."

"Of course!" Li Zetian smiled.

"Then I'll take my leave first, and I'll visit you again in a few days!"

"Ah."

……

Within a few days, Giorgio Armani came to Li Zetian's home again.

"Mr. Li, after discussions with other shareholders, I am willing to sell 21.5% of the company's shares. What do you think?"

"Okay, no problem!" Li Zetian responded readily.

"In addition, Mr. Li, I wonder if you mind if we use your fame for publicity? Of course, we are just doing some publicity, for example, publicizing to the outside world that Armani is your exclusive private clothing provider!!" Giorgio Armani After a pause, he said, "Mr. Li, as long as you need, Armani is willing to design and make clothes for you and your wife for free throughout the year, even including the wedding dress this time!"

This matter is beneficial to Li Zetian and has nothing to do with it. He nodded and said, "As long as it doesn't help the company, I don't mind!"

Giorgio Armani was overjoyed when he heard that, and immediately took out the contract in duplicate from his briefcase.

"Mr. Li, since this is the case, shall we sign the contract?"

Li Zetian nodded, took the contract, and then read it carefully, and signed his name when he felt that there was no problem.

"Mr. Li and Mrs. Li, if your wedding dresses are designed, I will notify you. Well, then I won't bother you, so farewell."

After Giorgio Armani left, Li Zetian put the contract in the safe, turned his head to look at Yu Jingqiu, blinked, and said: "There is another property, and we will not go out to buy clothes for our family in the future. Armani provides them all. However, my dear wife does not necessarily disdain their designs..."

Yu Jingqiu smiled "puchi" and said, "Do you still want to buy other clothing companies?"

"Oh, why are you so smart!" Li Zetian pinched Yu Jingqiu's charming chin and said, "I'm planning to establish a 'Jingqiu Fashion Investment Company' just for you. All your favorite clothes, shoes, bags, For brands such as gold, silver jewelry, diamond rings, etc., Jingqiu Fashion Investment Company will invest and buy shares in their company!"

Hearing this, Yu Jingqiu felt sweet in her heart, but she said, "You big local tyrant, how can you invest like that!"

"Then do you like it?"

Li Zetian chuckled, leaned close to her ear and said.

"I hate it~~~"

……

A few days later, Jingqiu Fashion Investment Company was established. The legal person of the company is Yu Jingqiu. All the shares of Armani held by Li Zetian were transferred to this company.

In the days that followed, life was very leisurely and beautiful.

Li Zetian didn't do anything in the villa, it would be too boring.In fact, he is writing the novel "Zhu Xian" wholeheartedly. At the same time, he is still reading and studying to recharge himself.Of course, Yu Jingqiu also has a real job to do, which is to design new delicacies for "Panda Express". In her spare time, she also goes to the concert hall to sing, and sometimes asks Li Zetian to help her play the piano.

Li Zetian gradually fell in love with playing golf, and his swing movements were very chic and elegant.Yu Jingqiu also played with him from time to time, but she preferred to watch Li Zetian play quietly. When he was thirsty, she would hand him a glass of water; when he was sweating, she took a towel to wipe him off.

Sometimes, after staying in Beverly Hills for a long time, I would go to Panda Express in Chinatown in Los Angeles, but this day I ran into a bad thing...
