Claire knows this very well. In his previous life, he had seen many bosses introduce some kind of wolf culture or some new performance evaluation and institutional system to reform their companies after starting their business, and then they destroyed their companies.
It's not that those things are wrong, it's just that they are not suitable, and the changes are too drastic, and the employees in the company simply cannot adapt to them, or they don't know what they are for.
A more specific example is the programmer's ancestral code. As long as it can run, don't worry about how it runs. Sometimes if you change something that you think is insignificant, it will collapse immediately.
But apart from these, the jeweler Calen is still very valuable to acquire. He was able to put himself in the top five jewelry stores in the country before, which shows that he has a certain ability. Although he failed once later, it was also a valuable experience that will make him more stable in the future.
In this case, the tuition fee is quite worth it. Anyway, Claire didn't pay the tuition for him.
"So how much do you owe now?"
Calen pursed his lips when he heard this question, "Because I wanted to expand before, I took out a loan of 100 million from the bank, and I also owe some friends money. Now I should owe about 130 million."
"Silver Dragon Coins?" Claire asked with a frown. If there were more than 300 million Silver Dragon Coins, there would be nothing to talk about. He himself doesn't have that much now.
"Oh! No!" Calen finally reacted and told the amount of his country's legal currency.
Then he quickly waved his hands and said, "The exchange ratio between our Kingdom of Zesilia currency and Silver Dragon Coins is one to nine, so it is probably more than 14 million Silver Dragon Coins."
It's still acceptable. If it costs more than 1,400 Silver Dragon Coins, it's still worth it.
"If you want to buy a jewelry store..." Calen rubbed his hands nervously, "Just give Silver Dragon Coins 10 million. The jewelry and counter inside are all yours!"
Calen I feel that my jewelry store is now worth ten million Silver Dragon Coins which is already pretty good.
"Then don't you still owe more than four million Silver Dragon Coins?" Claire said with a smile.
"If I figure it out myself and have ten million Silver Dragon Coins, I can still pay it off slowly by doing some business." Calen responded, but he also knew that if he finished paying it back, it would take who knows how long.
"About fifteen million." Claire smiled.
"No, 10 million is already my minimum price, and the bank is pressing hard every day..." Calen was suddenly stunned as he spoke, "What did you say?"
He has never seen a reverse bargain buyer.
"Fifteen million, you can use it to pay back all the debts owed to the jewelry store."
Calen was still a little confused. He couldn't even believe his ears. He didn't expect such a good thing.
"I will take 70% of the shares and give you the remaining 30%. You don't have to leave. You can continue to stay in your old business. You will still control the jewelry store." Claire said softly.
The purpose of Claire is not to build a jewelry brand, but to export jewelry. The reason why I bought a jewelry dealer is to make the jewelry produced here famous and then sell it. As for the 30% of the shares given, it is to give Calen motivation. After all, the motivation to make money for yourself and to make money for others are different. My main profit will not be in jewelry stores, but in jewelry stores exporting to other countries.
It is equivalent to standing upstream and holding a sickle to harvest other jewelers below. The speed of making money is much faster than the money to open a jewelry store. What you do is quantity.
The jewelers in Jersey are following this path, otherwise they will sell it in their own country. It is impossible for their kingdom to support a multi-billion jewelery market. They are all harvesting money from other countries.
The extra five million was bought by Calen. It is impossible for a jewelry store to master every strategy in a foreign country, so it needs someone to help manage it. Calen is a good candidate in the eyes of Claire. He is capable and familiar with the jewelry market. The important thing is to have a certain foundation there to facilitate his subsequent layout in Mary Port.
"Really?" Calen said excitedly.
"Really, but you have to listen to me for the layout in front."
"No problem, no problem!" Calen agreed repeatedly.
After reaching a consensus, Claire also took out the jewelry he made from his Spatial Ring, and pushed the jewelry in the tray towards Calen.
"Look, this is the jewelry that will be sold in jewelry stores in the future."
Calen took it and put it back after looking at the items for a few times. He was a professional jeweler himself, and you could tell a lot about the things above at a glance.
Seeing the other party's uncomfortable expression, Claire smiled and said, "It's okay, just tell me if you have anything."
Calen then burst out, "Then I will say it, Lord Claire."
"Although the craftsmanship is good, the jewelry here is imitated from the jewelry from other jewelers in Mary Port, right? I can see a lot of brand influences on it."
Claire nodded, "Yes."
"With all due respect, I'm afraid that jewelry like that won't be sold on the market." Calen explained, "The jewelry we sell is inherently luxury goods, so it has a lot of high-end and niche features, or each jewelry store's own style. These are what distinguish it from other jewelry."
"You may think that combining the highlights of various famous jewelry will sell better, but in fact, it is not the case. Those customers are very sensitive and very picky. Once they see something of this quality, they will basically not buy it because they think it will lower their grade."
Claire kept nodding his head as he listened. As expected, Calen is very professional.
"You are wrong. I don't think so. These are just the practice works of our craftsmen. Because I don't have a master in jewelry design for the time being, I let them imitate them first to practice." Claire explained.
Calen felt relieved, as long as these jewelry were not put on the market. He is afraid of meeting someone who is ignorant and stubborn. If he insists on putting these jewelry on the market, it will be really over. Moreover, with his professionalism, he will feel very uncomfortable. It feels like a Chinese who sees foreigners trying to put fruit into dumplings.
"You have the contact information of some design masters you are familiar with, right?" Claire asked.
Calen nodded. Having been making jewelry for so long, he still has some contacts in this area. "Leave this to me. I will contact a well-known master to support us."
A well-known design master in the industry is very necessary. Celebrity benefits can make their store popular and popular again.
"I didn't just show you the design on this." Claire picked up another piece of jewelry and handed it over.
Calen took it and observed it carefully, but still couldn't see anything. It was nothing special.
When he looked up, he saw a fireball hitting his head.
