Pietro Ferrero, in his thirties, was surprised when he learned that the guest from America was interested in investing in his candy shop.
"Hello, sir. My name is Pietro Ferrero, and I am the owner of this candy shop," Pietro introduced himself, extending his hand.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Jon Hardy," Hardy introduced himself.
Pietro was slightly taken aback. After a moment, he studied Hardy carefully and asked, "I read in the newspapers that a Mr. Jon Hardy is part of the American investment delegation. He's the owner of Hardy Group in the U.S., and I also saw an advertisement from the Ministry of Commerce recently, stating that Jon Hardy plans to invest in Italy's fashion industry."
Hardy smiled and replied, "Yes, that's me."
Pietro was astonished. The newspapers described this man as the president of a large corporation, with a fortune worth billions of dollars—a true magnate. But why would such a wealthy man be interested in his small candy shop?
