Chapter 262 Bait
"Jiu'er, there's no need to say thank you between us. I'll send the letter to Zhiang for you. I can't accept this mobile phone."
Hu Xiang pushed the mobile phone back.
"Uncle Hu, Second Uncle gave each person who came here a copy. This is his token of appreciation. Please accept it."
Hua Yan put the mobile phone back into Hu Xiang's hand.
Hu Xiang wanted to refuse, but Hua Yan said:
"Uncle Hu, if you can't use this, please send it to my brother Hutu, so that it will be convenient for me to contact him in the future."
Upon hearing this, Hu Xiang did not refuse and said with a smile:
"Then I'll bring it back to Zhiang and ask him to thank your uncle for me."
"Thank you for what? He should thank you for helping me so much."
"We are all family, so we don't need to say thank you."
Hu Xiang put all the things into his bag.
"If you encounter difficulties here, please ask the embassy for help. The person who received us that day was my classmate. I have already greeted him."
Hu Xiang only revealed this relationship now, it seems that he trusts Hua Yan and is willing to share this information with her.
"Okay! I understand. I won't trouble others unless it is absolutely necessary.
After all, they are from the embassy, serving all Chinese people coming to Country G, not just us."
Hua Yan knows what is important.
Hu Xiang looked at Hua Yan and smiled with relief.
After sending Hu Xiang on the plane, Hua Yan asked Chai Lu and the other three to go around Kashiwa City, and Rong Yao even provided them with a translator.
Hua Yan and Rong Yao went to meet a vice president of BMW.
This vice president is called Duden, and he is the vice president of marketing at BMW. He is responsible for Asia, so he had the opportunity to meet Rong Yao.
Duden met Rong Yao because he was very interested in Asian culture.
Once at an auction held by Glory, Duden saw a Chinese painting and liked it very much. Fearing that he would not have the chance to buy it, he entrusted someone from the auction house to contact the seller and try to make a private transaction.
This is against the rules and the auction house will lose any revenue.
However, Rong Yao thought it was an honor to make a G countryman so obsessed with Chinese culture, so he agreed.
Unexpectedly, the seller was also very satisfied with the price offered by Duden, and the deal was done.
The sellers were also worried that the auction price would not be as high as what Duden offered, and that they would not only have to pay the commission but also have to sell at a low price.
Duden also knew the rules. He knew that the auction organization had given him a backdoor, so he specially sent a gift to Rongyao to express his gratitude.
In this way, the two got to know each other and often exchanged knowledge about Chinese calligraphy and painting.
Rong Yao found Duden with a painting of Hua Yan.
Duden was also an expert on value and knew that this was a good thing, so he asked the seller of the Rongyao painting.
"Mr. Duden, this calligraphy and painting was entrusted to us for auction by a little girl from China. I can introduce her to you."
Rong Yao did not reveal his purpose, fearing that Duden would ask for too much.
In this way, Hua Yan and Duden met.
"Hello! Miss Jiuer, I'm Duden."
"Hello, Mr. Duden."
Hua Yan communicated with Duden in fluent Mandarin.
Duden thought he would need Rongyao to translate, but he didn't expect that this little girl could speak so well.
Duden felt that communication was much easier this way, and his meaning would not be misinterpreted.
"Mr. Rongyao showed me your painting. It's so beautiful. I like it very much. I wonder what price Miss Jiuer expects?"
"What price would you like to pay for it, Mr. Duden? I originally wanted to auction this calligraphy and painting, but Mr. Rongyao said you liked it very much and wanted to trade it privately."
"Based on the prices of similar collections, I am prepared to offer one million marks, which is the best I can do. But your painting may be more valuable."
Duden looked at Hua Yan cautiously.
Although Rongyao told him that the seller was a little girl, he didn't expect it to be such a young child.
However, I believe that anyone who can come up with such a thing must have an extraordinary background.
“One million marks is not much, but I am willing to give it to you.
But I have a condition, and I hope Mr. Duden can agree to it."
Hua Yan didn't know how much this painting was worth, but seeing how much Duden liked it, she knew it would not be cheap.
"Please tell me, Miss Jiuer. As long as I can do it, I will do my best."
When Duden heard Hua Yan say this, he was a little unsure about the conditions Hua Yan mentioned.
“I heard from Mr. Rongyao that you are the vice president of marketing at BMW, so I came to see you.
I want to know about BMW's development plan. You can tell me what you want to tell me, but don't tell me anything that involves company secrets. I don't want you to make a mistake."
Hua Yan looked nonchalant.
Duden was shocked after hearing the first words, but felt relieved after hearing the second words.
“Not only are our technologies in the innovation stage, but our product lines and markets are also in the expansion stage.
We want to develop not only the European market, but also the North American and global markets.
I can only say this much. If I say more, corporate secrets may be leaked.”
Duden is a man of professional ethics. He will not ignore the interests of the company in order to get something he likes.
In fact, Duden didn't say anything. All he said was the content of BMW's external publicity.
But Hua Yan didn’t know all this, so it was very important to her.
As long as Hua Yan knew that BMW was going to increase its development efforts, her plan would have a basis for implementation.
"Okay! That's enough.
Since BMW wants to expand its product line and market, as well as innovate in technology, it needs to inject a large amount of capital. I would like to invest in BMW and become your shareholder.
I know you can’t make this decision, but you can introduce me to your chairman and I can talk to him in person.”
Hua Yan went straight to the point and stated her purpose directly.
Duden was stunned at first, but then he was ecstatic, because at the last company meeting, many people disagreed with the expansion plan because of funding issues.
“Are you really going to invest in BMW?”
Duden wanted to confirm.
"Yeah! I really want to invest."
"How much money do you want to invest?"
“How big is your funding gap for expansion?”
"I'm not sure about this, but if your investment can reach 50 million marks, you may have a chance to meet the chairman."
In fact, Duden knew that the funding gap was 50 million, but he couldn't say that.
"Okay! Mr. Duden, please help us make an appointment with the chairman."
Hua Yan believes that as long as she can meet the chairman, money is not a problem.
"Okay! I'll try my best."
Duden left with satisfaction, taking the calligraphy and paintings with him.
“Jiuer, the things you brought are all genuine, and it’s no problem to auction them for 50 million.
But since I’m investing in a company, my stake can’t be that big.”
When Rong Yao heard that it would cost 50 million to invest, he suddenly became uneasy about owning so many shares.
"Uncle, we have both signed an agreement, how can we change it at will?
In the early stage, we invested in shares of various large enterprises, and the money came from the auction of antique calligraphy and paintings. You can return it to me when there is profit in the future.
Your impact is so great that it cannot be measured by money.
If not for you, who would Mr. Duden know me to be able to talk to me?
You should stop focusing on the shares. We should focus on how to negotiate with these companies."
Hua Yan clapped Rong Yao's hand, looking serious and sincere.
"Okay! If you're willing to let me take advantage of you, why should I be so hypocritical?
No wonder your uncle said, just follow Jiuer and don’t think about anything messy.”
Rong Yao rubbed Hua Yan's head and breathed a long sigh of relief.
