Meizong Wealth Life

Chapter 53 My Friends and I Are Shocked
Glancing at the blonde waitress with a straight back and a bright smile opposite, Jamie knew that the Caroline he was familiar with was back.

As soon as the greetings ended, Caroline asked Jamie about his positioning on investing in Max to open a cake shop, a boutique cake shop targeting high-end customers, or a chain restaurant catering to ordinary people.

Max was dumbfounded and wanted to interrupt on the spot.

She just wanted to open a cake shop and make some money so that she could live a good life. She didn't think much about it at all, right?

Caroline gave Max a reassuring look.

After all, she also attended Wharton Business School for a few days.

Before going to college, in order to broaden Caroline's horizons, her father once took her to negotiate several tens of millions of dollars in business.

At that time, Caroline didn't know that her father was engaging in fraud. Her father's confident and calm demeanor when facing customers left a very deep impression on her.

Now it’s a matter of learning and applying it.

Jamie lays bare his plans.

"We can start with a boutique cake shop, build a reputation, and then develop into a chain restaurant."

Caroline captured the key words of this sentence very keenly.

we?

Jamie pointed at Rebecca beside him.

"Let me introduce to you, this is my investment partner."

With a sweet and charming smile on her face, Rebecca shook hands with Max and Caroline respectively.

Caroline admits that Rebecca's smile is very contagious, especially men who will be very attracted to her, but in the eyes of women, it is a complete bitch ceiling.

Anyway, Caroline didn't like it very much.

For Max's dream of opening a store, he pretended to be happy to meet Rebecca.

The two parties had a brief chat, covering various aspects such as investment amount, store location selection, and operating model.

Caroline wanted to clarify the division of labor among several people.

She runs the cake shop, Max makes the cakes and Jamie provides the funding, so what does Rebecca do?
It seemed like he was asking, but in fact it was aimed at Rebecca.

Rebecca was very familiar with this kind of intrigue between girls, so she smiled and replied:
"I am responsible for the most important product promotion."

Caroline immediately pretended to be asking for advice humbly and asked Rebecca what she planned to do.

"It's Ivy Week at Constance High School next month, and I'll try to figure out how to get Max's cupcakes to appear on the reception party table, and during this time, anyone I'm invited to attend will To all the parties, I bring cakes as gifts.”

"In a month at most, the fame of the cupcakes would spread among the students at Constance High School, and then throughout the Upper East Side."

Rebecca's promotion plan, to put it bluntly, is to use her influence in the school to sell cupcakes.

This is exactly what Caroline thought.

It's not that Caroline and Rebecca have a tacit understanding, but it's that she used to be able to do these things easily.

Now, Caroline can only watch as the limelight is stolen by Rebecca.

What Caroline didn't know was that Rebecca had discussed another publicity plan with Jamie on the way to the Williamsburg restaurant.

Through the Gossip Queen blog, it was revealed that the bankrupt Caroline was running a cake shop, and a large number of people would immediately go to find out out of curiosity.

It's possible that even the media will be alerted.

Although this can make cupcakes become the focus of conversation in a short period of time and gain extremely high exposure, it is also easy to be counterattacked.After all, Martin Channing had just been in prison not long ago. Although many victims would not attack Caroline directly, it was still very simple to set up a trap in secret.

The gains outweighed the losses, so Jamie ultimately did not agree.

He believed that playing the Caroline identity card now would have quite a negative impact.

But after a few years, when the cake shop's business becomes bigger and stronger, and it is upgraded to a chain restaurant brand, and then Caroline's identity is exposed, everyone will have a completely different perception of the matter.

After so many years of propaganda and education advocating the American dream, the vast majority of Americans have become success-only.

As long as you succeed, all the mistakes you have made in the past can be forgiven.

In fact, Caroline did not make any mistakes. She was just unlucky to meet a liar father.

As long as Caroline's experience is repackaged, the story will immediately become a different version.

A rich girl in trouble met her best friend in her life when she was destitute. The two bankrupt sisters worked hard from the bottom and achieved extraordinary achievements all the way back.

In a male-dominated social environment, Caroline's experience will quickly gain sympathy and support from a large number of people.

If the cake shop had been listed at that time, maybe the stock price would have risen sharply.

This is the importance of telling stories and establishing characters.

Of course, Jamie would not mention this to Caroline at the moment. The four of them continued to discuss more cooperation details, and finally Jimmy on the side came up with a pre-prepared investment agreement.

Max turned a few pages and lost interest in reading.

Caroline read it carefully from beginning to end.

After confirming that it was correct, Caroline called Max and signed her name at the end of the contract.

Jamie raised the coffee cup in his hand and was about to celebrate the successful cooperation when Li Han, who had disappeared for a while, suddenly ran out excitedly.

"Max, where's the remote control? Turn on the TV quickly. There's big news!"

Max thought that Li Han was making a fuss again to gain a sense of existence, and said angrily:
"Are aliens preparing to invade Earth?"

Li Han didn't care at all about Max's attitude. When he turned on the TV with the remote control, his hands were trembling with excitement.

"The basketball god Jordan announced his comeback!"

"This is the most exciting news I have heard after 911/[-]. He has already made bold promises and will lead the Bulls to once again challenge for the championship!"

Everyone present had shocked expressions on their faces.

Even people who don't understand basketball at all, when they hear the name Jordan, some pictures will automatically appear in their minds.

The Flyers, the Bulls Dynasty, and the team won two three consecutive championships for the first time in history.

However, everyone was surprised. Only Jamie was stunned when he heard the news.

He wasn't surprised at all when Jordan returned.

But shouldn't Jordan come back with the Wizards at this time?
What is it about leading the Bulls to another championship challenge?

After paying attention to the reactions of others around him, Jamie took the lead in ruling out the possibility of Li Han's slip of the tongue.

Just when Jamie was wondering which link was wrong, a scene that stunned him appeared on the TV screen.
