Chapter 115 Buying a Car
Yannik and Yonas had in-depth discussions about taking over Ricci's company. In fact, he was more excited than Jonas. He worked in Ricci's company all his life. He knew the situation of Ricci's companies and was more aware of the protagonist. Being able to acquire Ricci's company is definitely good news for him.
Although it is just taking over Ricky's upstream companies in the energy industry for the time being, for both parties, this should be a complicated task. Because under Ricky's name, there are more than ten companies that belong to him, and there are dozens of companies that have invested in, which is just upstream exploration and service companies.
For example, Rich's oil service company has several factories, with all employees reaching more than 3,000, distributed in more than a dozen countries around the world to conduct oil and mineral mining services, and the company's performance has reached US$2 billion. It is very difficult to evaluate this company, because in addition to fixed assets such as drilling platforms and machinery and equipment, technical patents in mining must occupy a large share. If these patents are sold, they must be calculated in 100 million. There is a mining equipment manufacturing company, although it is only a blade for producing drilling equipment, but the synthetic technology patents it owns absolutely exceed the actual value of the company.
However, neither Ritchie nor Yonas were particularly concerned about these, because although these companies had transferred ownership, they were still under Ritchie's control. Therefore, under the consultation of the lawyers, in order to reasonably avoid taxes, many assets were calculated at low prices, and Yonas could reasonably compensate part of Ritchie in the future.
Although both parties want to complete the transaction earlier, the change of hands of the company is not a simple matter. At least, the audit of the tax department takes a period of time. More than a dozen companies have changed hands, and the tax department is so happy that they hope that the transaction will be successful than Jonas and Ritchie. In order to avoid the company's ownership dispute in the future, Jonas did not want to save this money, and you can buy peace of mind with the money.
However, as soon as this news was revealed, the responses of the two state governments of Zug and Schwiz were very different. Although these two places were close to each other, they belonged to different states. The Hoffmann family had already built a new company headquarters in Gelsau. Once these companies were acquired by them, they might have to relocate to Gelsau.
For more than 20,000 companies in Zug, although these dozen companies are only a small number, the sensation caused by this is Rich's company. The Zug State Government immediately sent a specialist to visit Sesia, and persuaded Sesia to give up its intention to relocate. In fact, they also understood that since a new headquarters was built in Gelsau, it was impossible to give up relocation, but they just needed a statement to show the support of the Jonas family for the work of the Zug State Government.
Gelsau is a very small place, except for the small open space by the lake. It is all the Rigi Scenic Area, so everyone understands that it cannot be expanded to the size of the city. Without the family's discussion, Sesia first shunned the Zug State government's request, and in order to avoid Gelsau's reporters, he hurriedly pulled Jonas to London.
The whole family sat together to discuss and determined the future development direction. In fact, Jonas made the decision. From the vice president of a trading company, he suddenly became the leader of more than a dozen companies. Even in terms of technical and management, Janik had this ability, but his mentality had not been adjusted yet. Everything was left to Jonas.
Apart from Yannik, the busiest one is Ellieni. Poor Ellieni just spent a short holiday and immediately started contacting these companies that were going to take over. Each company must be sorted out clearly. She brought a group of lawyers and financial staff, and 24 hours a day was not enough.
However, she was not passive at all, but full of passion and strength. Seeing that each company was acquired by its subsidiaries, her sense of accomplishment was not ordinary. Two months ago, she never thought that she could achieve what she is now.
Among them, Cassinali's role is huge. She is Ritchie's assistant and now she has become the executive of the European Oil Tower, which plays a decisive role in the stability of the company. In fact, although the accounts of these companies are being investigated, the operation of the company has never stopped, and people's hearts are even more stable than before.
Because everyone knows that although the company has changed its owner and changed its name, its stability is even more stable than before. After this transfer, it can be said that it has been completely cleaned up. No country or government can calculate Ritchie's old accounts on their heads.
Switzerland was starting to be busy, but Jonas spent a lot of money in London. Under his instigation, Sesia finally made a decision to buy a four-story terrace house at the back of the British Museum, which cost nearly £4 million. The house is less than 200 meters away from the British Museum, with a front door facing the street and a public private garden behind it, and the environment is quite good.
Cycia originally intended to buy a house near Chelsea, but the housing prices there made her feel that it was too expensive. The most important thing is that it was too far from Sewing Street. Sewing Street, also known as Old Women's Street, is the central area of London's financial city, but it is close to the center of the East Town slums and far from the West District. The British Museum is close to both sides, which is the best of both worlds.
Yonas and Sesia were both worried that they could hide in London, but as the head of the family, Yannik could not hide. He could only go back to Switzerland honestly, not only to deal with the company's review of all aspects of affairs, but also to deal with the disputes between the two state governments. After sending Yannik away, Sesia looked at Yannik with a determined look on his face, as if he was going to die, and asked Yonas, "Baby, have we done too much, and it seems that your father should not bear it alone."
Jonas said with a smirk: "Mom, you are actually back to Switzerland, and I am happier if I am alone in London."
"I should plan the decoration of the new house. What style do you think we should decorate it?" Sesia said with all the same words and said, he got up.
"Okay, mom, you go to arrange the decoration in the afternoon. I go to buy a car in the afternoon. Latini will arrive in London in the evening. I don't want to pick her up in the hotel car."
Sesia didn't care and said, "London is driving on the left, and you are not familiar with the route, so you are not allowed to drive by yourself." What she didn't expect was that Jonas would buy a car, which would arouse strong response from the British media. Otherwise, she would regret allowing Jonas to act.
Yonas brought two bodyguards to the Bentley store in Westminster. Although it is a flagship store, it is not bigger than the domestic 4S store. Bentley has always been Yonas' favorite car brand. It has speed, passion, exquisite craftsmanship, but it is so low-key. Compared with the aging of Rolls-Royce, Bentley is the most luxurious car that truly belongs to young people. Yonas likes Bentley's slogan: low-key luxury.
Luxury and luxurious brand store. There will never be a crowd. In the calm sales store, Jonas, who brought two bodyguards, immediately attracted the attention of the clerk. Customer service manager Bernice immediately greeted him. The handsome guy in a handmade suit and two bodyguards. Whether it is clothing or expression, he is a real potential customer in any aspect.
"Hello, sir, what I can serve you."
Yonas looked at the British beauty in front of her in work clothes and an office girl, and whistled and laughed: "I'm so lucky to meet a pleasing beauty here. I think this car buying experience will be a pleasant process."
Boggs smiled, "If you don't mind Miss Latini spending alone in the evening, then try to invite this beautiful lady to dinner."
"Uh." Yonas smiled awkwardly. "Borgs, if you don't speak, no one will think you are a mute." Yonas said with a straight face, "I originally wanted to go to Crewshire to customize a Bentley of my own style, but time is a luxury for me."
Bernice smiled and said: "Sir, don't worry at all. Any requests of yours can be conveyed to the production center in Crewshire through our service center. Any requests can be met."
“Any request?”
Bernice said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Sir, it is any reasonable request."
"I have a request now." Jonas leaned into Bernese's ear and said, "Did you see the man and woman who came in behind me? They are American tabloid reporters. I hope to talk to you without interruption. Can this be done?"
"Of course. Sir, please come with me." The man who was followed by the tabloid reporter. Is he a star? Or a model. Bernice could not confirm for a while, but she could be sure that this was really a big fish. If he could gently invite himself, would he want to date him? He took Jonas into a separate reception room, and Bernice was still thinking about it.
Jonas looked at the sign on Bernice's chest and said, "Bernis, a nice name. Now we can talk about why I'm here, right?"
"Oh, of course." Bernese blushed and said with a smile: "If you weren't trying to avoid those two reporters, then you must be willing to become a Bentley user. Isn't a British man?"
Jonas smiled and said, "I like smart women. Especially beautiful smart women. You can call me Mr. Hoffman."
"Okay, Mr. Hoffman, your humor is not as good as a German."
"Oh, Bernice, I'm so happy that you praised me like this. It will cost me a lot of extra money."
Bernese was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Jonas meant. Jonas smiled and said, "Because of your beauty and understanding, I decided to support your work more. Can you tell me, how much is your income for every Bentley sold?"
Bernese laughed, "Sir, it's about 500 pounds, maybe 800 pounds."
Jonas smiled and said, "Then congratulations, Bernice, you can earn a month's income for young people in London this time. I remember that young people in London earn an average of £2,000 per month, right?"
"Sir, you need to buy four Bentleys at once?!"
Yonas nodded and said, "Look, I know your income, so now I will guarantee that your income will not decrease. Can you help me arrange for your manager to come here? I need to talk to him and maybe I can get a lower discount. My money is not picked up for nothing, every penny needs to be cherished."
Bernice smiled and said, "This is a reasonable requirement. The manager's authority can be two percentage points lower than we can."
Jonas smiled and said, "That's right. If I spend 1 million pounds, I can pay 20,000 pounds less, which is almost the same
I can travel around the world for the fee.”
Bernice laughed. "Don't Mr. Hoffman think about which model to buy first?"
Jonas looked at Bernese's concave body and smiled, "I know them better than you think."
Bernese wanted to dig out Jonas's vision that seemed to penetrate his body. What's more hateful is that his body felt excited under his invading gaze. She opened the information book in her hand and said, "Please forgive me, although I know your time is precious, I have to do some registration."
Jonas said: "Of course, except for one existing car, I need to book the rest, so you have to keep my requirements in mind. The current car is the British version of Continental, right-hand rudder, and the decoration is mainly business stability and mahogany decoration."
Bernese nodded and said, "Yes, we have a car."
Yonas nodded and said, "In addition, I need three new GTs and a luxurious version of elegant style. The elegant requirements are roughly the same as those in the continental region, and the interior needs to be decorated in dark yellow. I need the same configuration of two of the GTs, combining metallic brushed ribbon mahogany decoration, the main color needs white, black parts, and the remaining one needs to be decorated in black and red, and I need to install the latest GPS positioning and navigation map."
"Do you want the two to be the same?" Bernese asked in surprise. Generally, ordering Bentleys requires personalization, and it is rare to have the same configuration.
Yonas nodded and said, "Yes. Look, is it time to talk about the price now?"
Bernese nodded and said, "This is a big business. I really can't make a decision and can't give you the lowest discount."
Rich people with huge sums of money can always get the most meticulous service. This truth is the same there. Jonas suddenly wanted to buy five Bentleys, which caused a huge response in the sales center. The manager here, an old English man in his fifties, tried his best to hide his excitement and maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, but his excited fingers betrayed him. When signing, his fingers were trembling so hard that they could hardly hold the pen.
It's okay to buy a car with the left rudder, but the British version of the car with the right rudder requires qualifications in the UK. Fortunately, Yannik registered an investment company in London, and as a result, the car was classified as a British company.
Less than half an hour ago, Yonas wrote a check and got on the brand new Bentley Continental. Before leaving, Bernice stopped Yonas. "Mr. Hoffman, can I contact you directly in the future for the details and decorations of these cars?"
"Of course. I'm glad to have a beautiful woman like you who often chat with me." The car window slowly rose, hiding Jonas' handsome face behind the car window. Bernese looked at the car that was leaving and merged into the traffic, with an obsessive smile on his face. (To be continued...)
