Chapter 399 - Chapter 399 Chapter 388 Liang Weibo

Chapter 399: Chapter 388 Liang Weibo Chapter 399: Chapter 388 Liang Weibo Liang Weibo reluctantly agreed to accept the investment and after talks to establish the jewelry brand with Nie Zhan, Nie Zhan brought Lu Jiaxin along to meet with him.

When Liang Weibo saw Lu Jiaxin, he couldn’t understand why she was there but didn’t ask any further; ordinary people can’t comprehend the hobbies of the rich. However, upon hearing that Lu Jiaxin was also an investor and in fact the largest one, he became uneasy.

Liang Weibo was having second thoughts, and he said, “Mr. Nie, when we talked earlier, you didn’t mention that Miss Lu was the largest investor.”

Nie Zhan looked at him and smiled, saying, “Don’t worry, Jiaxin is just investing and won’t interfere with the company’s operations. You will manage the company.”

Liang Weibo asked, “Then how will the share distribution be decided?”

Nie Zhan said, “The registered capital is ten million, you will invest twenty percent, which is two million; Jiaxin will hold sixty percent, contributing six million; the remaining twenty percent will be mine. If we attract new investors in the future, we will discuss the share distribution in detail at that time.”

Liang Weibo asked, “If the company has issues in the future, should I come to you or Miss Lu?”

The reason he had agreed to Nie Zhan’s investment was twofold: he wanted to expand his small shop and he was impressed by both the Nie Family’s background and Nie Zhan’s capability. If the person in charge was an unknown young lady, the business would not be sustainable.

Nie Zhan replied with a smile, “Jiaxin is still in school, and besides, she’ll be involved in other businesses after graduating. If the company faces any major issues, I’ll help resolve them.”

Liang Weibo posed another question, “Mr. Nie, Miss Lu, please forgive my bluntness, but what will happen to the company if any unforeseen circumstances occur in the future?”

Both were not fools and immediately understood he was worried they would break up, causing instability in the company. His concern was valid, as a change in the majority shareholder could have a significant impact on the company’s development.

Nie Zhan said, “The situation you’re worried about won’t happen.”

That was too absolute of a statement. Even couples married for three or four decades sometimes divorce, and breakups among dating couples are common.

Lu Jiaxin didn’t make such an absolute statement; she said, “Don’t worry about that. Even if there really is some unforeseen circumstance, the shares held by the two of us would be concentrated in one person’s hands and wouldn’t affect the company’s development.”

To reassure him, Nie Zhan said, “We’ll sign an agreement that gives the remaining parties the right of first refusal to purchase the shares if one party decides to exit.”

Liang Weibo was hoping that Lu Jiaxin would exit; after all, what does a college student know about running a company? He was prepared to invest all his savings and couldn’t afford any mistakes, but it was not something he could say outright.

Lu Jiaxin perceived his concerns and said with a smile, “Do you know about Qirui? I founded it with Su Heyuan, and I am also the majority shareholder.”

Liang Weibo was astounded, “You’re the majority shareholder of Qirui?”

He knew that Lu Jiaxin was green and didn’t deny that green was an excellent fashion designer, but that didn’t necessarily mean she could manage a company well.

Lu Jiaxin nodded, “Yes, I hold sixty percent. But at that time, I was preparing for exams and didn’t have time, so I left it to Big Brother Su to manage. Later, due to differing philosophies, I exited.”

Nie Zhan added, “Jiaxin may be young but she has a keen sense for fashion trends. Qirui’s positioning and ambitious development plans were all her creation. It’s just that her focus is on her studies, so she has stayed behind the scenes.”

Lu Jiaxin took out a sketchbook from her bag, handed it to him, and said with a smile, “These are some jewelry designs I’ve drawn, have a look.”

Liang Weibo suspected the sketchbook contained design drafts. He thought to himself that the ability to design clothes didn’t necessarily translate to jewelry design. Yet, not wanting to miss this rare opportunity, he accepted the sketchbook and began to look through it.

After looking through two design drafts, Liang Weibo asked somewhat excitedly, “Miss Lu, did you design these two sets of jewelry by yourself?”

Lu Jiaxin nodded before asking, “What do you think?”

Liang Weibo nodded repeatedly and said, “Both sets of jewelry are exquisitely designed. Especially the first one, it will definitely be very popular once it’s made. The second set requires superb craftsmanship, which we don’t have yet.”

The second set of jewelry was a diamond necklace that could also be taken apart into two or more bracelets, necklaces, or even made into brooches alone. However, this required special connectors only found in some top jewelry stores.

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, “I am only in charge of the design. The craftsmanship is your problem to solve. If the current technology can’t accomplish it, then let’s set it aside until it’s feasible.”

Liang Weibo thought that once they started making money, they could offer high salaries for talents in this field. But after seeing this move from Lu Jiaxin, he dismissed his previous thoughts. This young woman was not only skilled in fashion design but also had a talent for jewelry design.

He had no objections about Lu Jiaxin becoming the major shareholder, but he had a different opinion about the company’s name. “Mr. Nie, Miss Lu, I don’t think the name Five Auspicious Jewelry is good.”

Lu Jiaxin was puzzled. “What’s wrong with it?”

Liang Weibo shared his thoughts. “Marriages are about pairs, and five is an odd number, not very auspicious. Miss Lu, I think Six Auspicious Jewelry would be more fitting.”

When Lu Jiaxin heard this, she was reminded of the future’s Six Auspicious Jewelry, representing the blessings of health, peace, harmony, wealth, virtue, and accomplishment.

Nie Zhan also thought the name Six Auspicious Jewelry was better than Five Auspicious Jewelry. “Jiaxin, let’s go with Six Auspicious Jewelry. Six Auspicious, smooth sailing.”

Lu Jiaxin didn’t respond.

Liang Weibo said, “Miss Lu, people in Hong Kong are quite superstitious. When buying gold jewelry for a wedding, they wouldn’t even enter a shop with the name Five Auspicious.”

Having spent two years in Hong Kong, Lu Jiaxin deeply understood how superstitious the locals were. However, she wasn’t comfortable using Six Auspicious Jewelry since it was a significant brand in the future. After some thought, she said, “Let’s call it Xinxin Jewelry. Xinxin, six gold characters, signifies a rolling wealth.”

Nie Zhan thought this name was good as well, making it clear it was Jiaxin’s company.

Liang Weibo preferred Six Auspicious Jewelry, thinking its meaning was better than Lu Jiaxin’s proposed Xinxin Jewelry. But since she was the major shareholder and Nie Zhan agreed, it wasn’t a matter of principle, so he eventually agreed as well.

The three reached a consensus, and what followed was the registration and recruitment of staff. The company’s management would be entrusted to Liang Weibo, with Lu Jiaxin not intervening in the specific operations.

After finishing the discussion, Nie Zhan asked, “Do you have classes this afternoon? If not, let’s go play tennis.”

Lu Jiaxin was enjoying her Little Days and didn’t want to engage in strenuous exercise. “I don’t have classes this afternoon, but I want to rest at home. Do you have time on Sunday? If you do, let’s go hiking.”

Tennis and golf were popular sports in Hong Kong, but Lu Jiaxin preferred outdoor activities such as hiking and cycling. However, to integrate into certain circles, tennis and golf were essential skills.

“Sure, let’s go hiking together on Sunday. You could also invite Fu Ye and Tao Yong’s girlfriend to join in. It’s more fun with more people.”

Lu Jiaxin nodded and decided to call Zong Shimeng and the other two girls when she got home that afternoon. Zong Shimeng agreed immediately, Yu Meitong politely declined for fear of getting a tan, and Shi Xinyu was eager but had to wait for her boyfriend’s approval.
