I earn really hard money

"Hello, Edmonds, you can call me Mr. He."

He Xia shook hands with the little boy, and said to himself, look, children are more polite than reporters!

"Mr. He, I'm not old enough to get a driver's license, but I already know how to drive. Before, I drove my father's off-road vehicle for a long lap in the community. Unfortunately, neither my father nor the law and police officers allowed it. It bothers me a lot!"

Edmonds spread his hands helplessly.

That driving adventure caused Edmonds' father to almost get a lawsuit. In the end, he was exempted from the lawsuit through a series of relationships, but he paid a fine of more than 3 euros...

This incident made Edmonds feel that the society's tolerance for children is too low, and they are not free!

puff……

The security guards and staff on the side couldn't help laughing.

"Haha." He Xia also laughed, and asked, "How old are you, Edmonds?"

"I will be ten years old after Christmas..." After finishing speaking, Edmonds lowered his head helplessly, and whispered, "It will take another seven years before I am allowed to take the driver's license test. This damn law in France should really be amended. I am already in I have written a letter of opinion, I believe Mr. Mark will receive it!"

France requires citizens to be 17 years old to take a driver's license test. Edmonds scoffed at this and decided to use practical actions to change this situation.

He Xia smiled and patted the child on the shoulder: "Believe me, Edmonds, Mr. Mark doesn't have time to read your letter...but seven years is too fast for you. Listen to the lectures at school and look at the next table A beautiful girl, a vigorous talk, or a few love affairs, will pass in the blink of an eye."

"Oh, God, Mr. He, my deskmate is a girl from Bruges, Belgium, who is very savage, and, after seven years, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to drive a pure car. The era of internal combustion engines is approaching end……"

Edmonds looked very depressed after talking about it, and lowered his head.

He Xia and the staff in charge of the introduction exchanged glances, and they both saw a touch of surprise in the other's eyes. The child spoke with a very mature attitude, at least in the field of cars.

"No, Edmonds, the internal combustion engine that has been brilliant for a century is indeed old, but it will not disappear, at least not in the next 30 or [-] years, and all you have to do is to hone the technology in anticipation ,or……"

"Or learn relevant knowledge, let the internal combustion engine at the end of its life continue to improve thermal efficiency, break through the limit, and create the glory of this century!"

He Xia encouraged Edmonds.

Edmonds made a strange expression, and was about to speak when someone called his name behind him.

"God, Edmonds, so you are here..."

A middle-aged man wearing glasses hurried over with an eager face. After seeing that his son was fine, he smiled and said to He Xiaji: "I thought he was at the Children's Paradise, and I haven't seen him for a long time. trouble."

"No, Edmonds is very sensible, and we had a good chat."

He Xia didn't know it when she said this with a smile, and she was about to be slapped in the face!
Edmonds looked back at his father, tugged at the hem of his clothes, pointed to the classic car in front of him, and said, "Dad, I like this car, can I ask the price of this gentleman?"

The man pushed his glasses with embarrassment, and said, "Edmonds, listen to me, this car is for exhibition and will not be sold. Let's not be rude."

The staff also nodded and smiled in return. Indeed, as the middle-aged man said, the classic car was just pulled from the headquarters to support the facade, how could it be sold?
It's not that it can't be sold, but it won't be sold on this occasion, at least the auction house.

Edmunds looked tangled, and the love in his eyes was beyond words. He pointed to the classic driveway: "I just like this car very much, I want it!"

He Xia had a feeling in his heart. He felt that this kid was much happier than he was back then. How could he have such troubles when he was in his teens? He didn't even know what a classic car was...

It seems that how much you have will not be directly related to the level of happiness, but the inner desire is the key.

He Xia suddenly couldn't help laughing, secretly thinking that if he told Zhou Shiliu this thought, he would be sprayed with a remark, thinking of himself as a philosopher, right?
The middle-aged man scratched his head a little. How could his son be sensible? He tugged Edmonds' arm and said, "There are many friends over there, and there are game consoles you like. I saw that there is a simulated cockpit where you can play racing cars." , go and have a look?"

In order to make the tasting event interesting for the children, the organizers spent some brains and specially created entertainment programs for children of all ages.

Edmonds shook his head, took his hand away from his father, and said, "I don't want to go, you are so stingy, and because of your stinginess, mom left us and went with Uncle House!"

"I don't want to play game consoles, I don't want to play racing cars, I want this real racing car, otherwise you will lose your dear son after losing your wife!"

…………

He Xia couldn't help but twitched a few times, saying that Edmonds was ignorant. What happened to the adults in the family was clear, so he said he was sensible, and he was outspoken and didn't pay attention to the occasion...

He turned his head and looked at the staff and security with helpless eyes. The brat bluffed. There was too much information in his words. In order not to embarrass the middle-aged man, it is better to divert his gaze.

"Edmonds, don't talk nonsense, mom wants to change her lifestyle because dad is too busy with work..."

If it was just a thousand-eight-hundred-dollar toy, the middle-aged man would not be stingy, but when faced with a classic car whose value was unknown, he felt that even asking the price was unnecessary, and he just kept trying to persuade his child.

He Xia sighed again, this little poor kid knew too much, when he was as old as the other party, he jumped up and down all day long, how could he understand love and love, and it was still the emotional entanglement of his parents...

"You are stingy, you are a bad father, you are reluctant to buy me a car, I asked Uncle House to tell my mother that you treated me badly..."

Edmunds muttered, tears streaming down his face.

These words made the middle-aged man look ugly, because the Uncle House that Edmonds said had also come to participate in the event. If the ex-wife knew about this, he would definitely make a fuss about custody again!
He Xia looked at the small figure of Edmonds and shook his head, and said, "Edmonds, if you really like this car, do you know what to do?"

A word made the scene quiet down immediately.

Edmonds looked at He Xia with tears in his eyes, completely lost his previous appearance as a young adult, and asked in a daze, "What should I do?"

"You should work hard to move towards your dream, make yourself a rich person, and then at some point in the future, use your own strength to buy this dream car in your heart, instead of making your father pay for it."

The middle-aged man nodded gratefully to He Xia. It is really necessary to have an outsider to help him say a few words at such a time, but unfortunately his son's answer made him almost die of anger.

Edmunds was taken aback, and then he said with firm eyes: "No, Mr. He, I'm just trying to get my father to buy this car for me. This is my effort, you can't ignore it!"

…………

…………

A row of black lines appeared on He Xia's head, and he pursed his lips. He didn't know what to say for a while, and heard a few voices of suppressed laughter not far away, and turned his head to see the serious Gu Raff and Greg, even Eliza couldn't help turning their heads, probably couldn't bear to see themselves embarrassed.

If I had had this eloquence back then, I might have been beaten into a fool by my father!

He Xia thought so.

The middle-aged man felt a little ashamed, full of apology: "Sorry, sir, I made you laugh... The child is a bit headstrong, I'm sorry."

After all, the man whispered to Edmonds, which seemed to have some effect. At least Edmonds was calmed down, and then he was dragged, coaxed and coaxed away by his father, but in the process of leaving Zhong still kept looking back.

"This...haha, really, haha..."

The staff shrugged He Xia and smiled awkwardly.

"This kind of brat..." He Xia also shook his head, and said, "He should really be given a complete childhood!"

While speaking, he made a spanking motion.

The staff waved their hands again and again: "Sir, you must never hit a child in public, you will go to jail..."

It’s not that private places are fine, it’s just that being seen in public places basically can’t escape legal sanctions, and if it’s done in private, it’s possible that children can escape unharmed because they don’t know to report the crime.

"What?" He Xia asked in disbelief.

Elisa said in a side note: "If the police know that the parents have used violence against the children, the parents will be taken away, and the children will be taken over by social workers."

"Huh?" He Xia glanced at Elisa in disbelief, saw that she nodded seriously, and then looked at the staff, who also nodded helplessly. When I was a child, I was helpless.

"Well, the law protects his butt..." He Xia spread his hands.

He didn't know, let alone beating, even if he insulted and was known, or the child called the police, the middle-aged man would get into a lot of trouble, and the punishment would be worse than Edmonds driving without permission!

Seeing Edmonds walking away, the staff member looked melancholy and said, "It's a pity that the only person in the audience who is interested in classic cars is actually a child..."

"Who said children are the only ones? I'm also very interested. Let's go and introduce the other two cars."

After all, He Xia walked towards another car.

Everyone is holding activities in the small square on the other side, and will move to the golf course in a while, and this side will be even more deserted.

The staff responsible for the introduction was taken aback for a moment, not daring to neglect just because there was only one visitor, and hurriedly followed He Xia's pace.

According to the introduction, He Xia learned about the situation of the other two classic cars.

One is the Jaguar XJR-9 Gruppo C of the Gruppo C series, a 120 model, the only one in the world. There is also a Jaguar XK [-] Roadster that is obviously older, born in [-], but there are a little more in existence At one point, there are about ten known ones.

Just as He Xia was seriously appreciating and trying to figure out how to take down the three cars and put them in his collection, someone behind him spoke.

"Sir, please look at the car in front, is that gentleman the chairman of H.E Investment Company?"

He Xia turned her head and saw a woman in her 30s wearing a uniform and a suit was talking to Gourav, her eyes were on her side, and when she saw her, she smiled and waved her hands to say hello.

"Which media are you a reporter for?"

Seeing that He Xia didn't speak, Gulav asked, his eyes full of vigilance.

"Reporter?" The lady was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "No, no, I'm not a reporter, I'm a headhunting consultant."

"Headhunting consultant?" He Xia raised his brows lightly. Recently, he has been in close contact with many headhunting companies. He should have something to ask for himself, so he gestured to Gourav and said, "I am He Xia!"

"Oh, great, God..." The lady first thanked God with her forehead, and then handed her business card to Gourav: "I am a headhunting consultant of Korn Ferry France Branch, and I am in charge of headhunting projects. May I chat with Mr. He? A few words?"

Korn Ferry International is a headhunting company established in the beautiful country in [-]. It is known as one of the top five headhunting companies in the world. It has completed classic cases across four continents. Today, its business scope is very wide, and it has offices in many countries. .

Gourav asked for He Xia's opinion with his eyes, and only let him go when he nodded.

"Mr. He, hello, I am the headhunting consultant of Korn Ferry International France Branch, Katerina, I did not expect to meet you here, it is my honor, um, can I take a moment to speak?"

Katerina gestured to the side, her pale blue eyes filled with pleas.

"can."

He Xia didn't refuse, and walked to the deserted lawn with Katerina.

"Mr. He, I just... well, I saw you talking to a child in the distance just now, do you remember?"

Katerina asked.

He Xia felt a little strange and nodded, "You mean the kid who was crying and fussing just now and was dragged away by his father? Edmonds, what's wrong?"

With a strange arc at the corner of Katerina's mouth, she took out two pages of documents from the briefcase and handed them to He Xia.

"Carter Brando, works at the French International Institute of Biotechnology, holds a Ph.D. in molecular biology and cytogenetics, and Edmonds Brando is his child."

He Xia didn't use Katerina to introduce him. He remembered the photo and name. This Karter Brando is a key scientific researcher named by Professor Smith, and the task of digging Karter is indeed a failure. On Korn Ferry International.

"Dr. Double Material, I'm afraid it's rare to have the time to come out to play, but the bear boy is disobedient, and the old man is very angry... How about it, have you contacted him?"

He Xia returned the information to Katerina.

Katerina put the information back into her bag, smiled and shook her head and said, "I found an opportunity to chat with Dr. Brando twice, and this is the third time today, and it didn't go well..."

As soon as Korn Ferry received the task, it started to deploy operations. Since Carter was easy to find, we met easily, but unfortunately there was no substantial progress in the follow-up.

"what reason?"

He Xia didn't want to ask about it at first, but after thinking about it, it's his own business after all, and he can't just leave it to the headhunting company and ignore it completely. Forming a scientific research team as soon as possible is the most important thing.

Katerina turned her head to look at the lively crowd, and found that Carter Brando was talking with someone, while Edmonds was sitting sullenly aside.

She said: "Dr. Brando just said that the scientific research project in hand has not been completed, and he is unwilling to give up halfway. I asked him about the progress, but he did not give a clear answer..."

"I see..." He Xia licked his lips and said, "What kind of organization is the French International Institute of Biotechnology you mentioned just now?"

"Established in 30.00, led by the government, dedicated to the research and exploration of cell biology and other aspects, but now the government's contribution is very low, accounting for only about 30% of the shares, so in fact, the funding is very tight. The number of [-] in the most prosperous period has dropped to more than [-] today, and they have made major breakthroughs, but they have not won the Nobel Prize, and there are some other awards.”

Katerina introduced Carter Brando's work background in detail.

"What level is Carter Brando in this institute?"

He Xia asked.

Katerina said: "Carter Brando is now one of the three main people in charge, which is one of the reasons why he is unwilling to leave."

Due to the reduction of funds, researchers left the institute one by one. If it weren't for the hard support of the three main researchers, I am afraid that the dissolution would not be far away!
He Xia said in his heart that Professor Smith really knows how to choose people, and that if he chooses someone, he will be the pillar of a certain research institute. He then asked Katerina: "Did you mention the salary?"

"As mentioned, we have already discussed it according to the highest standard. It can be seen that Carter Brando is a little moved, but he still refuses."

Katerina is very sorry.

If you want to poach people, you must spend money. The plan He Xia gave is very rough and straightforward. As long as you are willing to come, you can enjoy up to ten times the previous salary!
One hundred thousand becomes one million, and one million becomes tens of millions. He is not afraid that someone will make up the number, because this is the list given by Professor Smith. It is a professional in the eyes of professionals, and basically there will be no problems.

This increase in the span makes it impossible for most people to resist, but there are still some people with different beliefs who are always resisting.

He Xia pondered, Carter Brando was able to receive the invitation letter of the Jaguar Tasting, which proved that his status and financial resources were not bad, but just now Edmonds said that his father was stingy and stingy, and even killed his mother because of stinginess. Run away...

Then, according to the working environment, it is not difficult to analyze that Carter Brando is using his own money to subsidize the research institute, similar to the fact that after Cambridge College shut down Professor Smith’s laboratory, the scientific research team prepared to continue research at their own expense.

Such a belt-tightening scientific researcher would not participate in a commercial tasting meeting. Maybe he just took the children out to play and relax...

He Xia thinks so.

Thinking of this, Edmonds' eager eyes looking at the classic car appeared in He Xia's mind, so he said to Katerina: "I'll figure out a way for this person. You go back first and tell the higher-ups that you don't need to be responsible."

A little money may not be able to impress Dr. Brando easily, but if Edmonds finds a way and adds some emotional investment, it will probably be a lot easier!
