Splendid in bag

Lewis is the president of a start-up company, but is mostly comfortable.

At least in the eyes of others, he should be very comfortable.

But Lewis is actually a very hard worker.

However, when you're not making money, your efforts look ridiculous.

Lewis thought so.

He thought that he must be a ridiculous person in his brother's eyes.

Lewis flipped through the thick stack of albums on the desktop and frowned slightly.

After all, he still wants to get the approval of his family.

The assistant knocked on the door and came in, and said to Lewis: "There is a man named Oliver Yang who said he was your old classmate and wanted to see you."

"Oliver Yang...Yang Olive, is it?" Lewis smiled and said, "I remember. Let him in."

Yang Olive is indeed a former classmate of Lewis.This name is also quite special, Lewis did not forget it.Besides, Yang Olive is special enough and quite talented. I heard that he went to work in a big company after graduation and is now starting a business like Lewis.

Yang Olive was wearing a casual shirt and carrying a loose rockstud color messenger bag, and walked in with a smile.His eyebrows and eyes are very delicate, a little more mature than before.

"Olive, sit down." Lewis politely asked Yang Olive to sit down.

After Yang Olive sat down, he smiled with Lewis and said, "Your workshop is so magnificent! It's about the same size as Dior!"

"That's unbelievable." Lewis said with a smile, "You also look very energetic, more mature than before. I almost didn't recognize it."

"That's right." Yang Olive took out a booklet from the messenger bag, handed it to Lewis, and said, "My eyes are dull, but your eyes are very sharp. Would you like to see how these colors look?" ?”

Lewis took the booklet with a smile on his face, and found that the booklet was full of color samples.He nodded and said, "Very good, the color is right. Are you making this dye?"

"I'm an agent." Yang Olive said with a smile, "I know that Lewis, you have always been unassuming, upright and straightforward. So I won't make circles with you. I just heard that you and the former 'Watong Dye Factory' The contract is coming soon, and I came here specially to pry the corner of the wall."

Lewis couldn't help but smiled: "You are too straightforward..."

"That's right, old classmate, you all know that my personality has always been like this." Said, Yang Olive smiled, showing eight white teeth.

Yang Olive is really interesting.He spoke with a bit of a quack air, but his appearance was quite handsome, with a baby face, shallow pear dimples, round eyes, and a very aura face, which formed a strong contrast with his speaking style.

"I'm glad you came to me. But I've always had a good time working with Wax Winter," Lewis said.

"It's not necessarily that there is no problem, maybe you didn't notice it?" Yang Olive took out another booklet from the messenger bag and handed it to Lewis.

Lewis took the booklet, flipped through it, and frowned slightly: "This is..."

"These are all true." Yang Olive said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask someone to double check."

"I will." Lewis closed the booklet, "Thank you for reminding me."

Yang Olive smiled and leaned back on the chair: "Then should I leave and wait for your reply?"

"You can do this."

"Or," Yang Olive looked at his watch, "At this time, can we have a meal together?"

"That's fine too." Lewis replied with a smile.

Yang Olive and Lewis went out together and went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.During the meal, Lewis was worried that Oliver Yang would continue to lobby for the dye factory, but he didn't expect Oliver Yang to say nothing about it.

Instead, Lewis asked a little impatiently: "How did you get those materials?"

"Hey, what's the matter with you?" Yang Olive said in a preaching tone while cutting the steak, "Don't talk about business while eating, or you will suffer from indigestion."

"Yes," Lewis smiled, "Mybad."

Yang Olive smiled and said, "Yes, youbadbad."

Lewis asked a few more questions about Yang Olive's recent situation.

Yang Olive sighed and said, "I went to work at the Kuilong Group before..."

"That's great..." Lewis said, "It's a big fashion group with a lot of resources."

"That's true, but I don't want to do that. I started my own business later on," Yang Oliver smiled. "It's a pity that I'm not lucky enough, and I have more obstacles than food."

Lewis smiled and said, "Really? No way?"

"You are a young master who doesn't know the sufferings of the people."

Lewis is often ridiculed that "the rich second generation does not know hardship", so he didn't particularly care about it, and just said: "Maybe."

"You're not convinced, are you?" Yang Olive looked at Lewis' expression with a smile.

"not at all."

"You are clearly not convinced. Do you think you are working hard too? Why do I think you don't know hardship?"

Lewis smiled and said nothing.

Yang Olive then said: "I know you once held an exhibition in China. There was a wall in the exhibition, and there was a specimen of the European peacock butterfly decorated inside?"

Lewis was a little surprised instead: "Did you notice that?"

That specimen was placed in an inconspicuous corner of the exhibition, and most people would not notice it.

"I noticed it!" Yang Olive smiled and said, "Then let me ask you, do you know how many government agencies you need to deal with to get all the necessary specimens from Europe when you just put a specimen in the corner like this? Letter of credit, insurance policy, order, health and quarantine certificate and other related documents?"

Lewis choked.

"At least 25 times of communication with 200 organizations... If it was me." Yang Olive pointed to himself, "But if it was you, you didn't know anything and just got things done. Then say , um, I want a specimen, just put it in this corner."

Lewis suddenly remembered the two bundles of fabric that Hughes sent today.

Hughes said that tons of goods sent by the freight company were seized by the customs.This proves that there should be many other companies whose goods have been detained there, and it is not known when they will be able to get the goods.

And Lewis, as Yang Olive said-"I didn't know anything at all and got things done."

Also, Lewis's clothing brands are always able to get good shops in shopping malls in prime locations without any accidents, and there is a long rent-free period... and so on, it is true that he has fewer brands than many, many people. Lots of resistance.

"You're right," Lewis smiled bitterly, "I'm indeed the young master."

Yang Olive said with a smile: "Yes, this is a good thing. I can't even hope it will come."

Lewis said: "What about you now? Don't start a business anymore?"

"Let's accumulate more. Money is second, and connections are really important." Yang Olive said, "So you see, didn't I come to ask you to be friends, get close, and build relationships?"

Lewis also couldn't help laughing: "Yes, Olive."

Yang Olive then said, "Then would you like to be my friend?"

"I would." Lewis replied with a smile, "I'd be more than happy."

Olive Yang came here with the task of a dye factory.Lewis also had someone check it out, and the assistant quickly replied, confirming that the information brought by Yang Olive was authentic and credible.

It turned out that Lewis was an environmentalist.When he went to inspect the "Yadong Dye Factory", "Yadong" did use environmentally friendly technology.However, only during inspections.Usually, those environmentally friendly machines are not used. For the sake of cost, they have been using the old high-polluting process to ship.

The assistant said: "We have also checked the dye factory represented by Yang Olive, and it is indeed more in line with our brand's environmental protection concept. But... the price of raw materials will also be relatively high."

"I understand." Lewis said, "As long as it meets the production requirements, the issue of price is negotiable."

But no matter how you talk about it, it will be only higher than the price of "Wax Winter".

Lewis remembered when he first contacted foreign silk manufacturers.With great difficulty, he was recognized by the century-old weaving factory and was able to obtain the world's top silk supply.The assistant said hesitantly: "However, the goods of these weaving factories are five times more expensive than the factories we cooperated with before. Doesn't this mean that the cost has been greatly increased?"

Lewis hesitated for a moment.

At that time, he had high requirements for silk and was not satisfied with the original supplier, so he went to Como, Italy to seek cooperation from top silk factories there.Rubbish and tough, I took the atlas to the manufacturer every quarter to talk about the concept, and it was hard to impress the other party.Unexpectedly, there is also a cost issue...

At that time, it was still in the early stage of entrepreneurship, and a lot of money was burned, but the income was a drop in the bucket.

Lewis sat alone at home, thinking about what it meant for him to be in this business.

When Hughes came back from the outside, he saw Lewis sitting blankly in the living room, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Lewis settled down and said, "I...seem to be spending more money."

"Haha!" Hughes laughed loudly, "I'm really touched, my brother finally knows that he spent a lot of money."

Lewis felt ashamed. He felt he was being laughed at by his brother.

Hughes patted Lewis on the shoulder and said, "You are the young master of the Liu family, don't be afraid, spend it, just spend it!"

Lewis said, "It's fine if you spend money with the purpose of having fun. This is business, and it doesn't matter if you lose money?"

"How can anyone start a business without losing money?" Hughes said, "If you don't lose a hundred million, don't tell me!"

As a result, the settlement at the end of the year resulted in a loss of [-] million yuan.

Hughes was also a little surprised: "You really lost hundreds of millions?"

Hughes' assistant nodded: "Yeah, do you really plan to let the young master do this all the time?"

"Otherwise?" Hughes said, "Look, it's actually not easy to pay that much."

Hughes' assistant nodded and said, "By the way, MikeYu's project lost 3000 million yuan."

"Trash." Hughes sneered, "Tell him to write a letter of resignation."

Hughes' assistant nodded: "Well, the president is right."

In the second year, Hughes' assistant reported to Hughes: "By the way, the young master's company lost 1.5 million this year."

"Ah, isn't that a loss?" Hughes said, "There is progress, open me a glass of champagne."

Hughes' assistant swallowed, and said, "As for the Alexandra project, it also lost [-] million less than last quarter."

Hughes said, "Then let me stop scolding her."
