"Miss, you’re efficient." Lin Tian flipped through the docunts and praised her. Xiao Manxue had been busy with opening the store recently and he felt a bit embarrassed. After all, he was also one of the owners of the jade store, and he had let Miss handle all the initial tasks by herself.
"You think I run around every day for fun?" Miss shot him a look.
She had indeed worked hard, so Lin Tian didn’t argue with her. After reviewing the agreent, he said, "You want to set up a new company for the new store? And it says here that Zhou Botong holds a five percent shareholding. Has he seen the agreent?"
Before, Lin Tian hadn’t thought so far ahead. He assud opening a store was just like those on the street—buy the premises, apply for a business license, set things up and start selling. Xiao Manxue seed to have thought further ahead; it was, after all, her field of expertise.
"I’ve already shown him the electronic version of the agreent, and he has no objections. As for establishing a new company, I’ve had this plan for a while, and it just so happens to coincide with our new store opening, which is perfect for rging together," Xiao Manxue explained.
Regarding the challenges facing Xiao Family Jewelry Store, Xiao Manxue seed prepared. Now she could use the opening of the new store to implent her plan. However, Lin Tian had another question, so he asked curiously, "Miss, won’t your actions take away from Xiao Family Jewelry Store’s existing market? Won’t you be suppressing your own business?"
"Heh, you’ve hit the nail on the head," Xiao Manxue confidently smiled and said, "I plan to restructure Xiao Family’s jewelry business, integrating all of Xiao Family’s jewelry and jade businesses and gradually rging them into the newly established company, which will operate independently."
"Ah, I get sister’s point now," Xiao Manxuan, who had been listening intently, suddenly exclaid, "The new company will nominally belong to Xiao Group, but finance, technology, managent, marketing, and all other aspects will be independent and not controlled by the Group. Is that right, sister?"
"Exactly, that’s what I an," Xiao Manxue gave her an approving look.
"You’re planning to create a new jewelry brand?" Lin Tian wasn’t dull; he figured out what was going on. Many large companies do this—integrating their best resources to build new brands.
Her bold plan was not simple. If Lin Tian could provide high-quality jade continuously, the jewelry from the new company would be more attractive and competitive than other companies’, possibly even becoming an internationally renowned top-tier brand.
Miss nodded and said, "Whether I like to admit it or not, the Xiao Jewelry brand has lost its competitive edge in the market. It’s ti for reform. Lin Tian, you’ve provided a great opportunity. Whether Xiao Jewelry perishes or is reborn depends on this."
"Sister, have you thought of a na for the new company?" Xiao Manxuan asked, tilting her head.
Miss glanced at Lin Tian and shook her head, "I’m not the biggest shareholder, so the company’s na will need his approval."
"Don’t look at ; I’m not the one with any bright ideas. I wouldn’t dare to attempt anything outside my expertise, like naming a company. You should do that," Lin Tian refused, his aim was simply making money—he wasn’t fussed about a na.
Besides, Lin Tian had no clue about naming companies. A poor choice or a na that went against taboo could beco the laughing stock of the dia. He had often heard people say that a na is just a symbol, not important. He felt they were deeply mistaken.
The company na couldn’t be homophonic with anything unpleasant, right? For instance, soone nad Shi Zhenxiang could be turned into a homophonic joke about liking the sll of feces, and Bi Yuntao could be twisted into avoiding sothing about condoms. A bad first impression is already set; it also can’t have rare characters or be hard to pronounce, or else it wouldn’t bode well for spreading the brand na.
Xiao Manxuan, however, didn’t think so much. She blurted out, "How about Lin’s Jewelry Co., Ltd.? Lin Tian is the biggest shareholder, after all."
"No, Second Miss, you’re putting in a tough spot. I always keep a low profile, and I don’t want this kind of attention. If it gets too well-known, how am I supposed to continue studying? Earning silver quietly is enough," Lin Tian hurriedly stopped her suggestion. Besides, it wasn’t a family business—how could such a grandiose na be necessary?
His self-proclaid low profile earned him a unanimous rolling of the eyes from the sisters. Xiao Manxuan even chid in, "Lin Tian, if you consider this low-key, I can’t imagine what high-key would look like for you."
"I’m forced into it, okay? I want to keep a low profile, but there’s always soone who won’t let . Sigh, enough about . Let’s discuss the company na," Lin Tian sighed, playing innocent.
"Na it Tianxue Jewelry. Look, it takes one character from Lin Tian and one from sister’s na. Plus, you two are the biggest shareholders. I think it’s a good na," Xiao Manxuan ca up with another na, which sounded reasonably good.
"I have no problem with it, ask your sister," Lin Tian said indifferently.
When Miss heard Tianxue Jewelry, her cheeks flushed red. She rembered her father had once nad the mall Xinyi Mall using her mother’s na, and her heart filled with inexplicable tenderness.
"Since Boss Lin has no objections, let’s go with Tianxue Jewelry. Now that the na is decided, I’ll prepare the materials to register the company tomorrow. Lin Tian, do you have any objections to the other terms of the agreent?" Xiao Manxue was decisive in her actions.
"I basically have no objections, but I disagree with the clause that asks to be the company’s General Manager. I’m still a student—how do I have ti to manage? You should find soone else. Zhou Botong, he’d be a good fit," Lin Tian wasn’t interested in taking on those responsibilities. If it had been before, he would have been thrilled to beco a company boss, but now it was different. He didn’t need to rely on a salary to live.
She couldn’t persuade him if he disagreed, but she suggested, "Zhou Botong also doesn’t want the role. But for now, just hold the title. The company is still small; there isn’t much to do, and I will appoint an Assistant General Manager to handle the actual work, so you won’t have to bother. When the company grows and the managent needs to be enhanced, we’ll discuss it then."
Since he didn’t have to handle so much, Lin Tian had no complaints. He thought to himself that instead of managing, it would be better to go raid those jade markets, as that could create more value.
"If Lin Tian gets a position, I want one too. I want to be Lin Tian’s secretary!" Xiao Manxuan grabbed her sister’s hand and declared loudly.
If Second Miss beca a secretary, wearing a secretary’s uniform, wouldn’t she be even more enticing than that Secretary Xu? The vision of Second Miss serving him tea popped into Lin Tian’s head. Given her looks and figure, if Lin Tian went to work as the General Manager, he wouldn’t need to lift a finger.
With such a beautiful secretary around, what man could focus on work? Flirting with the secretary seed more likely.
"Xuanxuan, no mischief, focus on your studies. After you finish university and graduate, we can talk about it then." Of course, Miss wouldn’t agree. Taking her sister by the hand, she walked upstairs and before leaving, said, "Lin Tian, rember to contribute your ten million and that piece of Imperial Green Jade. Also, we’re heading to Zhonghai City Friday night. Be prepared."
