Chapter 395: Chapter 384: The Name of the Jewelry Company Chapter 395: Chapter 384: The Name of the Jewelry Company After signing the contract with Mo Libin, Lu Jiaxin spoke to him, “I bought twelve stocks on Wall Street, and all twelve have gone up, but some only by a small margin. I’m thinking of selling the four with the smallest gains and buying new ones. Do you have any recommendations?”

Mo Libin’s look toward Lu Jiaxin changed; to have bought twelve stocks and all of them had risen: “Did you buy them on your own, or were these Nie Zhan’s suggestions?”

Nie Zhan indeed understood Miss Lu well; it seemed that this friend had put a lot of thought into pursuing Miss Lu back in the day. But a girl as clever and financially capable as her was truly rare.

Lu Jiaxin knew that rumors outside suggested her success relied on Nie Zhan. She smiled and said, “I bought them myself, though we had previously discussed the economy and development direction of America.”

Mo Libin asked, “Miss Lu, may I know which twelve stocks you bought?”

Lu Jiaxin wrote down the stocks she had purchased and showed them to him. The companies behind these stocks would still exist over thirty years later. However, their stock prices varied depending on the different stages of company development. Like Apple, its stock wasn’t as highly sought-after as it would be in the future, and its rise was very small. Through analysis, she believed it had to do with the person in charge. That is to say, Apple’s stock would only surge after Old Qiao took the helm.

Mo Libin looked at the names–Coca-Cola, Oceania, IBM, Walmart, Johnson & Johnson, McDonald’s, Apple, and others. He was familiar with all these companies, and they had good development momentum.

After putting down the stock list, Mo Libin smiled and said, “Miss Lu, the stocks you’ve bought are all indispensable in daily life.”

Lu Jiaxin’s reason was that through her analysis, she felt that in the next few years, the food, beverage, and tobacco industries in America would perform particularly well, which was why she bought these stocks.

Mo Libin praised her, “Miss Lu, you are very astute. Indeed, America has seen great development in food and beverages in the past few years. Especially Coca-Cola, they are planning to expand overseas.”

Lu Jiaxin naturally knew Coca-Cola’s power; it would dominate for over two decades in the future.

Mo Libin, who had done his homework, immediately recommended five stocks he was optimistic about and explained why he favored them.

Listening to him, Lu Jiaxin nodded repeatedly, her response spoke for itself: “Alright, I’ll buy these five stocks. Besides, I’m looking to make some overseas investments; do you have any suggestions?”

Being able to consider overseas investments indicated ample funds. Although Mo Libin didn’t know where her wealth came from, one thing he could be sure of–it was her own money, unrelated to Nie Zhan.

Mo Libin said, “That depends on whether you’re looking for short-term or long-term investments, and whether you want to invest in Southeast Asia or Europe and America. Each place has its circumstances, so the focus would be different.”

The two chatted all morning, and after Mo Libin left, Lu Jiaxin couldn’t help but rub her temples before looking down at her notes. Mo Libin was truly formidable; he spoke fluently about every country’s situation and economic development. She would need a couple of days to digest all the information. It turned out she hadn’t just hired a personal financial advisor but also found herself a teacher, which was great.

Time flew, and soon it was finals week. After finishing her exams, Lu Jiaxin relaxed for two days before starting her home studies. Hong Kong University had a long vacation, starting in late May until the first of September, giving her more than three months of summer break. She couldn’t possibly spend all three months traveling, planning to study at home until July, then return to the Forty-nine City to relocate a grave, move house, and only after finishing these tasks would she go traveling.

Nie Zhan felt there was no need for her to rush: “With your good grades and successful career, the school will let you graduate smoothly.”

Lu Jiaxin knew she had it under control. According to her own plans, she wouldn’t even need to take exams in university, but as it was the wish of the original owner and Mrs. Lu, she might as well carry on and get the diploma. That way, she would fulfill her duties perfectly.

Nie Zhan didn’t understand what she was so steadfast about, but seeing she didn’t want to talk about it, he switched topics. Knowing she liked to hear about business matters, he started discussing the jewelry brand.

Nie Zhan shared, “Jiaxin, I’m currently in touch with a person named Liang Weibo. His ancestors were master jewelers, and his father came to Hong Kong over twenty years ago due to wartime chaos. Once he established himself, he opened a goldsmith shop. Liang Weibo grew up helping in the shop and has a deep understanding of the industry. After graduating from university, he joined the shop and gained a lot of experience.”

Lu Jiaxin trusted his judgment.

Nie Zhan continued, “Liang Weibo feels that their family shop is too small in scale, with high operating costs and a limited range making it hard to attract customers. He wants to expand, which would not only improve competitiveness but also increase profits.”

That sounded good, but Lu Jiaxin was concerned that the other party might not want to collaborate: “The man has ideas and experience, lacking only capital. Would he let us take the majority stake and be the third shareholder?”

Nie Zhan spoke, “As long as we sign an agreement that ensures his interests are sufficiently protected, he will agree. After all, no one would want to turn down money.”

Lu Jiaxin knew he was better at business than her and smiled, “You make the decisions on this matter; let me know if you need anything from me.”

“What name do you think we should give to our jewelry company?”

Lu Jiaxin thought for a moment and said, “Five Auspicious Jewelry; the Five Auspicious stand for longevity, wealth, health, good morals, and a peaceful end. If one can have these five blessings, life would indeed be complete.”

Nie Zhan liked the name for its good meaning and nodded in agreement, “If Liang Weibo agrees, I’ll give him a twenty percent stake, you will hold forty-nine percent, and the rest will be mine. Jiaxin, what do you think of this arrangement?”

This division clearly advantaged her, and Lu Jiaxin said, “You would be at a disadvantage with such an allocation.”

Nie Zhan laughed, “What nonsense are you talking about? We are going to be family. If you want, I’ll give you eighty percent of the shares; it was, after all, your idea to start a jewelry company.”

Lu Jiaxin felt he was becoming more and more considerate, echoing the words of the older generation, such a boyfriend was hard to find even with a lantern.

She laughed and said, “Liang Weibo can have twenty percent, and we can each have forty percent. I won’t have time to handle internal affairs at the company, but I can help design some innovative styles.”

Nie Zhan, ever perceptive, immediately asked, “You can design jewelry too?”

“In fact, jewelry design shares many commonalities with fashion design. Like the Lotus Pattern with Mixed Colors on the Gourd Pattern at my home, it can be used in clothing or designed into a jewelry pattern; it’s just a matter of how you apply it.”

Hearing that, Nie Zhan was sure their jewelry company would be profitable.
