Shenhao: Please stop messing around

Chapter 288 Chapter 287, Inheriting the Secret Knowledge of the Past Saints (4K)

After having a good meal and a few drinks, the car drove through the streets of the imperial capital. Lin Chu sat in the back seat, lowered the window and smoked.

Buildings along the roadside come into view, and each one is incredibly large.

Speaking of which, this is also my first time in the imperial capital, and I had an instinctive resistance in my heart before.

This is a subtle feeling deep in one's heart, and it has nothing to do with whether one is rich or poor. If one must summarize it, it is probably... the closer one is to power, the further one is from freedom.

I am a person who loves freedom very much.

And because of the source of wealth, I always feel a bit inexplicably...guilty.

It's like I did something bad.

It’s like the insight I gained when I was in Hong Kong before, that the essence of the panel is the plunder of the wealth of the entire nation.

During this period, Lin Chu would occasionally think of that sentence: what made Tang Seng the Tang Seng was not the scriptures he obtained from the West, but the journey he took and the 81 difficulties he encountered along the way.

But now I have already flown to the west with a somersault cloud. I can't go back and walk that path again to pass that level, right?

Isn't this just pure hassle?
After taking the last puff of the cigarette and stubbing it out, Lin Chu couldn't help but shake his head and smile. He was overthinking it.

When people have free time, they tend to think too much.

But most of the time, all this thinking is meaningless and only adds to our troubles.

Most of the time, I adhere to the idea of ​​"drink while the wine is here and enjoy life while it lasts".

"Old Hu, do you have any ideals?"

Lin Chu suddenly asked, his voice was a little ethereal, like talking in his sleep, and because he drank a lot of wine, his tongue was a little big.

When Hu Ping'an heard this suddenly, he was stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, he just let out a chuckle.

"Yes, I wanted to marry Liu Yifei since I was a kid. To be honest, when I started my first business, I felt like I was one step closer to her."

Lin Chu: …

I couldn't help but laugh out loud for a moment.

This ideal is really fucking thoughtful.

"I'm asking now!"

Lin Chu's tone became a little heavier. Don't bring up those stupid ideas from your middle school years. They are too outdated.

Of course, Hu Pingan is still very honest.

“Now… let’s develop the retail business and make it a top global luxury brand, so that traditional culture can shine at the top of the world.”

"You said it, Lc, Lv, it's just a letter difference. If others can do it, we can do it too. And now I'm getting better and better at it. I've made a very good start. As I do it day by day, I actually like it more and more."

"Sometimes I even feel that God saved me just to fulfill this mission. Everyone has his or her own unique mission."

Hu Ping'an spoke with deep emotion, words that came from the bottom of his heart.

He now lives a very regular and entropy-reducing life, with doing good deeds as the first criterion for everything. He doesn't even live for money, as he feels money has no meaning. Apart from rent and fixed expenses every month, he has almost no other material desires.

Even though I have been working overtime every day recently, studying various materials, thinking of plans, and sorting out details until two or three in the morning, I still enjoy it.

Very flow.

Lin Chu glanced at him, smiled and nodded, lit another cigarette, exhaled a long puff of smoke, and said nothing more.

This is actually one of my goals.

but……

I just want to reap the rewards, I just want to see the results, and I can provide money for it, but I don’t want to manage it day after day.

Moreover, I don’t really need myself.

Lin Chu has a very clear understanding of his own abilities. Instead of giving orders and interfering, it is better for him to be a hands-off boss and let the funds be taken care of.

Moreover, many times, I tend to be impatient and lack patience and perseverance.

This kind of character can be called innate.

If you still work like a working cow and are beaten by society for a few years or even more than ten years, you may gradually accept your fate and settle down completely.

But now, he has never been beaten and has a net worth of tens of billions...

It's like a rich second-generation who has no talent or ability but has high aspirations.

Tsk.

Thinking of this, Lin Chu couldn't help but straighten his chest "proudly".

I'm lucky!

Grass!
Even if he is a idiot, he is a rich idiot.

As for ideals and stuff...

But in fact, I still feel a little itchy in my heart and want to do something big to "benefit the world when I am successful."

What is this called?
This is called - dreaming of going to heaven while sitting on the ground, and dreaming of becoming an immortal while being a human.

Scratching his head, Lin Chu shook his head and smiled, giving this self-evaluation in his heart.

"Brother Chu, what is your ideal?"

Hu Ping'an asked casually with a smile, it is normal for men to talk about their ideals, especially after drinking. Apart from the bragging, that is what their hearts desire most.

Lin Chu was still smiling. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be excited for a moment: "Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, inherit the unique knowledge of the past sages, and create peace for all generations."

The four sentences of Hengqu can be regarded as the most awesome ones in history.

No matter how the times evolve, this will always be what the Chinese people think is the coolest thing.

Hu Pingan laughed and hissed, "The intangible cultural heritage we are working on now can be regarded as carrying on the legacy of the ancient sages. As for the other three items, that is not something we can consider. It is pretty awesome to be able to achieve one of them."

Lin Chu also smiled and nodded.

We briefly discussed this issue and then put it aside for the time being.

For the time being, there is definitely no answer to the question of "ideal".

However, my interim goal during this period of time - thinking about the topic of love - has been successfully completed.

The conversation with Bai Weiwei by the Erhai Lake in Dali made me see my own nature clearly.

After getting to know, liking and falling in love with Tonya, Lin Chu also understood what kind of woman he would "fall in love" with.

Actually, there are only two points.

——First of all, she has to be a strong person. For example, Tonya’s martial arts is what makes her most excited. Of course, the definition of "strong" is not limited to martial arts. It is enough to achieve outstanding achievements in any field. This will win her "respect" and she will not be treated as a simple vase.

——Secondly, she must obey, 100% obedience, from body to soul.

So I always felt that something was missing in all the previous things, but with a foreign woman, I got the perfect satisfaction I wanted.

This should be the ideal wife for every man, right?
After all, if you play around, you will definitely just find a vase.

Regardless of whether it is love, starting a family, or having children, the first choice deep in my heart is definitely the "teammate" type.

……

After a night's rest, Lin Chu arrived at SKP shopping mall the next morning.

This is one of the top high-end luxury shopping malls.

Looking around, there are all kinds of top brands, Hermes, Chanel, LV, Dior, Gucci, Prada... and so on. Naturally, there are a lot of people visiting, even though the prices are high.

Although Lc's store also has customers, by comparison, its brand awareness, popularity, and purchasing power are definitely far inferior to these ones.

but……

The price is in line with the standard.

It's not cheap at all.

The positioning from the beginning was extremely high-end.

As for whether this price can be maintained, it all depends on the subsequent refined operations.

"I really want to acquire Lv Group..."

Standing at the door, looking at the LVs across the street, Lin Chu had this thought in his mind, and he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled. Suddenly, his heart beat faster. It was still very exciting to think about it.

It is not only stimulating, but also brings a sense of inexplicable national pride. In the field of luxury goods, there is almost no domestic presence, and the market is dominated by foreign brands.

If I were to take action myself, I would definitely use both hands at the same time.

Build your own brand from scratch.

Start acquiring things and buying all kinds of things. As long as you work hard enough, you can make enough money.

As for how to use it after purchase, foreign capital has already set a good precedent, which is, of course... to put it on ice, then gradually fade it out, while the supply chain and product line accept it in its entirety.

At the beginning of the opening up, many well-known domestic brands were killed in this way.

Now... decades have passed, and it can be said that things have changed over time. Based on the current situation, Lin Chu estimates that it will not take long for it to reach this point on a large scale.

Market counterattack!

Not only in the luxury goods sector, but in many sectors.

of course……

If you really want to acquire it, it is not that easy, it can even be said to be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Whether it is the primary market or the secondary market, they are unlikely to sell this golden goose that lays eggs.

It's not about money.

In recent years, quite a few top foreign brands have been acquired by domestic capital, such as Volvo, but that was based on the fact that the original brands had already incurred huge losses or even had huge debts.

This will definitely not happen in an industry like luxury goods.

In the entire industry, the most valuable thing is the brand.

How much does a package cost?
As long as the brand is successfully built, it can make money at a speed comparable to that of a money printing machine.

Selling a plastic bag with a logo can bring a premium of hundreds or even thousands of times.

Thinking of this, Lin Chu had another realization - the ideological consensus rooted deep in people's hearts is the most valuable thing in the world.

For example, you must have a house to start a family.

For example, diamonds represent love.

And carrying an LV bag means you are rich...

Of course, these so-called "ideological consensus" were also built bit by bit through various events, various public opinions, a long time, and countless amounts of money.

Ah.

Think about it first.

Let’s talk about it later.

First find a third-party company to estimate the feasibility, and as for the money, you should also work harder and brush it more.

Thinking about this, Lin Chu called You Shaoqiang and asked with a smile as if nothing had happened: "I'm going back to Pengcheng this afternoon, what are you doing?"

The Tongxin Youth Association and the Tongxin Association are both very good platforms and one of the leading companies in the business community of Guangdong Province.

The background relationships and various personal connections accumulated over decades are naturally of great importance.

If you really want to swallow a whale like a snake, you can borrow some strength if you can.

"I don't have any plans for the afternoon. What time will you arrive? At the airport? I'll pick you up?"

After receiving Lin Chu's call, You Shaoqiang couldn't help but smile and spoke very affectionately.

Reliable.

Lin Chu is really reliable.

For this deal, he even came back from afar in person.

This is a big favor to do yourself.

There is absolutely no problem in keeping a low profile and picking him up at the airport.

"Come on, it saves time and we can chat on the way. Also, I want to buy a company, can you give me some advice?"

Lin Chu agreed with a smile, and spoke in a very nonchalant manner.

"Hmm? Which one do you want to buy?"

You Shaoqiang asked curiously.

The ultimate level of financial freedom is the freedom to buy any company you want. In his mind, Lin Chu has reached this level.

But he felt a little nervous.

This feels a bit like "adding to the issue".

Could it be that Lin Chu wanted to use this as an excuse to decline the financing terms he agreed to two days ago? Or... did he want to discuss more exchange terms?

This...is not a problem at all.

In an instant, so many thoughts and associations emerged in You Shaoqiang's mind.

"I want to buy...haha, LV Group."

Lin Chu smiled in a slightly exaggerated and half-serious manner.

This goal is indeed a bit too ambitious, but it is not completely without chance. You can try it.

Even if I can't buy all of it, it's okay to get some shares.

There is no business activity without spending money.

You Shaoqiang: ...

have to.

Haha.

Think more.

He laughed dryly twice and was completely speechless for a moment.

How can such a company be sold?

Even if it is sold, it will definitely be at a sky-high price, countless times higher than the market price. Even if you pay many times the premium to buy it, it will be meaningless in terms of financial return.

At this moment, he just thought Lin Chu was joking, so he responded with a teasing smile: "Okay, buy it. Speaking of this, I also want to buy one. You buy Lv and I will buy Tesla."

But at least one thing was certain, that what I had agreed with him before would go smoothly.

"Okay, it's a deal."

Lin Chu responded with a faint smile.

This tone...

You Shaoqiang suddenly felt something was wrong, and his heart skipped a beat. He asked in disbelief and surprise, "No, you don't really want to buy it, do you?"

Can't you?
crazy?

What level is LV?
The market value is hundreds of billions of US dollars, nearly 2 trillion RMB. If it is placed in the domestic A-share market, that is the level of Moutai Group!

How can there be so much money?
"Let's talk about it when we get back. It's 6:30 in the afternoon. No rush. Let's have dinner together tonight."

Lin Chu said with a smile, exchanged a few words with him, and then hung up the phone.

Indeed, even a top second-generation rich man like You Shaoqiang finds this idea crazy.

Objectively speaking, it is indeed extremely crazy.

But... let's do it!
Make money!

all!
If Paralysis could accomplish this, it would truly be...a name that would go down in history.

So cool.
