Lin Yan opened it and saw a financial report sent by Zhang Mingzhi, who had also backed up a copy for him.
Ducati's financial report last year was a sea of red, with losses of over 10 billion. Lin Yan had already prepared himself for this.
These billions were likely lost in the R&D department. Developing new racing cars is an extremely expensive endeavor, and this has always been undeniable.
Lin Yan carefully examined the report. In his previous life, he had never seen such a document and felt a slight curiosity.
According to the report, Ducati's racing department spent about 300 million Euros on the entire season last year, which is roughly over 2 billion Chinese Yuan. This figure is quite staggering, considering it doesn't include R&D costs, only the daily expenses of racing.
Lin Yan suddenly understood why Kawasaki had withdrawn back then.
With the Lin family as a backdrop, almost no intermediaries were involved in the entire process, and all the profits were their own.
Moreover, Lin Guoxiong was very smart. The cost of co-branded clothing was low, so the pricing was also low. Affordable co-branded apparel could quickly help Lin Yan gain fans and combat piracy. For just over two hundred Yuan, one could get an authentic product with decent quality. Why would anyone buy pirated goods?
After reviewing all the accounts, Lin Yan felt an urge to ask Lin Guoxiong for a share of the profits, but he held back.
"Honey, strike a pose!"
At this moment, Su Mojin also ran out of the villa, holding a camera. Seeing this, Lin Yan put away his phone.
Su Mojin didn't take a group photo immediately. Instead, she stood at a distance and took a few individual photos of Lin Yan.
"How is it, do they look good?"
"They're okay."
"Okay? How can they be just okay? Tell me which one looks good."
Lin Yan casually pointed, honestly not knowing which one looked good.
"Honey, you're so perfunctory!"
After taking photos of Lin Yan, Su Mojin didn't ask Lin Yan to take photos of her. Instead, they took a group photo together against the snowy backdrop. Having the "steel straight man" Lin Yan take photos of her was likely to result in something as bizarre as a shot of Ultraman. The last time Su Mojin asked Lin Yan to take her picture under a lamppost, Lin Yan almost made her look like pure light!
"Old Su, you know, being young is great!"
In the second-floor bedroom, Zhang Yingrong stood by the window, looking at Su Mojin and Lin Yan swinging below. A smile involuntarily appeared on her face. What more could parents want than for their children to be happy and joyful?
"Indeed. But we weren't always old, were we? When we were young, we weren't any less impressive than Xiao Yan and the others."
"Alright, stop boasting. You weren't this romantic back then. I think boasting is the only thing you can do well. After so many years, you're still as boastful as you were when you were young!"
"I..."
Hearing this, Su Hongyun, who was polishing his shoes, felt helpless. He was telling the truth, so how could it be called boasting?
After taking a few photos, they seemed to feel a bit cold and returned to the villa.
As soon as they entered, they saw Su Chen sitting on the sofa, looking dejected.
This kid seemed to have become like this after his breakup.
"What's wrong? Can't let go?"
After changing his clothes and shaking off the snow, Lin Yan sat down next to Su Chen.
"No, I just feel it's a shame that my first love ended like this."
Hearing the sound, Su Chen was startled. Seeing that it was his brother-in-law, he said with a sigh.
"How about I introduce you to someone good?"
"No need, brother-in-law. I know who you're going to introduce."
Su Chen instinctively thought of Chen Qianqian and shook his head to refuse. It wasn't that Su Chen thought Chen Qianqian was not good, but rather he felt he wasn't good enough for her.
