Luke was amused. "They're already starting rumors?"
Jenny hesitated. "That … isn't a rumor."
Luke was stunned. "What?"
Jenny said, "The managers of two branches in New York have already been found to have colluded with scalpers and made tens of thousands of dollars for themselves."
Luke was surprised. "How many phones did they resell? More than a thousand?"
Only 50,000 Titanium phones had been shipped in August, and most branches only had a few thousand in stock. Thousands of phones had been resold, which was a huge mistake.
Jenny said, "No. They directly increased the price of the phones they sold to the scalpers by 150 to 300 dollars. In total, the two managers sold more than 200 phones from the New York stores. "
Luke gritted his teeth. "Are you kidding me? What else can the scalpers make?"
Jenny said, "According to my investigations, the scalpers have already started bidding. The standard 1g version is basically sold for 600 dollars, and the top 2g version is sold for more than a thousand dollars. "
“holyshxt！” Hearing these prices, even Luke, who didn't care much about money, couldn't help but curse. "Then, aren't the managers and scalpers making more than us?"
Jenny smiled bitterly. "That's right. Fine, I admit my mistake. I was too conservative with my sales plan at the beginning. You reminded me long ago. "
Luke didn't think too much of it. He comforted her with a smile. "Who can predict business and never make mistakes? You're already the youngest and most beautiful business woman in America. If you never make mistakes, I'll be under a lot of pressure. "
"Darling, you're so sweet," Jenny said. "That's all I want to hear."
Luke was amused. "Don't be too nervous. It's easier to make mistakes when you're nervous. In the next year or two, the phone company will be in a period of rapid growth. The faster the company grows, the more stable you have to be. The company can hire more people … Right, I've already asked Bobby to come back. After he's done with the gold mine, he'll help you do a background check on the applicants. "
Hearing that, Jenny was reassured.
Luke had said that Bobby was a professional "psychoanalyst," which had been demonstrated when he had been involved in various negotiations with her.
Although it was a little strange that a PR manager was so bad at communication, he was a good PR manager if he could sense the mood of his opponent.
The cell phone company wanted to build a solid foundation, and Bobby was indeed very useful.
After agreeing to that, Jenny returned to the topic at hand. "What about the sales plan?"
Luke said, "It's up to you. I think it's not a bad thing to sell a million Titanium phones before the end of the year, right? "
"Honey, you're so encouraging." Jenny didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He was the only one who could talk about a profit of a hundred million dollars so casually on his first venture.
But now that her thoughts were confirmed, her heart relaxed. She quickly said a few words and hung up the phone.
She had a lot of things to do recently, and was only able to talk to Luke for so long.
During this period of time, her transformation was also astonishing.
Before Weyland invested in the company, Jenny had also withdrawn her assets from her financial management projects and converted them into twenty million yuan to invest in the phone company.
She used this opportunity to raise her offer to Weyland. After Weyland invested in the company, she maintained her shares in the phone company at a little more than 5%.
Now that the cell phone company offered three to five billion yuan, someone would immediately take over.
Jenny had invested twenty-five million, which had now increased by five to ten times.
A long time ago, Luke had told her that the two of them would start a company and try to make her worth more than her father.
At the time, she thought he was joking and didn't take it seriously at all.
She had accepted Luke's position as his secretary, and had thought that it would take her ten years at most to build a company with assets of more than a hundred million, which would be enough for her to get rid of her weak position in front of her father.
Based on the development of the phone company, the value of her shares in the phone company might be equal to her father's entire net worth by the end of this year.
It had been less than a year since Luke had said those words that sounded like a joke.
Thus, even though more and more people were respectful to her, currying favor with her and flattering her, what she wanted the most was Luke's approval.
Every time she talked to Luke, her fluttering heart would quickly calm down.
When she thought about how Luke, who was three years younger than her, held almost 80% of the Titanium phone company's shares and was worth billions, and how he spoke and did things as usual, without any arrogance at all …
How could Jenny, who was only worth a hundred million, be so arrogant?
Luke had even given her a rough outline of the company's future development.
In ten years, Titanium Phone Company and the software company that was already in the works would develop into a massive corporation that spanned entertainment, social media, and daily applications.
And she would be the founder of this corporation.
But when she thought about how Luke had only wanted to sell navigation software in the beginning, but couldn't sell it, and had chosen to make a phone for himself, Jenny wanted to laugh.
It was like someone who couldn't order eggs and decided to open a chicken farm. In the end, before the restaurant made any money, the chicken farm had already made a fortune.
Fortunately, the outcome was good. Selling phones and operating software was more interesting than selling navigation software.
Of course, Jenny wouldn't forget how indifferent Luke had been when he first took out his phone and various software.
She also knew that Luke had more ideas and technology, but he didn't plan to make money for the time being.
She was very interested in these ideas and technology, and could do a lot of interesting things with him.
Thus, she knew her position very well.
She was just the manager of the company, but Luke was the foundation of the company.
Luke could still succeed without her.
Without Luke, she wouldn't be able to achieve such great success so easily.
He had the ability, and he didn't pretend to know what he was doing. There was no better partner than him.
She would accompany him all the way to see more of the world's beautiful scenery.
…
It was September, the hottest month of the year, and they slowed down their daily investigation.
After the earthquake and the Elsworths incident, the prisons in Los Angeles were already full.
It was sunny almost every day in Los Angeles. When they got home at four in the afternoon, a certain sunbather could even bask in the sun in the backyard for an hour.
When Luke got home, he was still a tech geek. He was basically busy in his workshop, and occasionally sighed at his tiring life.
At that moment, Luke finally received the legendary police academy certificate and officially became a qualified police officer.
Dustin almost immediately arranged for him and Selina to take the detective exam.
But Gold Nugget 2 was touring the country with Claire, and Selina was seriously unconfident about the exam.
Luke, however, smiled and didn't say anything. He gave her a pair of glasses.
After working under his guidance for a while, Selina immediately felt reassured. She raised her head and puffed out her chest as she dragged Luke to the exam.
