After patiently accompanying her boss to watch the singing and dancing until about ten o'clock, Chen Qing took the man's arm and walked out and said, "Boss, I brought a gift. It's in the manor in the north. Where are you going tonight?"
The Xiangxiang Ruanruan sisters were driven away by Chen Qing, so they could only squeeze together on the other side of the man. After hearing what Chen Qing said, Xiangxiang, who was leaning on Simon, immediately pulled the man's arm. The two sisters' eyes were full of expectation.
The two little ladies knew very well that this man was their biggest support in the United States. Simon had not appeared for a long time before, and it had aroused concern in the family.
What if one day the men suddenly stop coming, and the various benefits they enjoy are gone, how will a group of helpless women live? Well, there is probably no problem in living. The problem is, what should I do if I am used to a more luxurious life now than in China, but I cannot live it anymore in the future
Simon's hand was held by the little girl, and he lifted it up and pinched the girl's cheek. Shirley came over and gestured casually: "Send a car to take them back."
The two little girls immediately opened their eyes in disappointment, but it was a pity that it was useless.
Shirley agreed, glanced at the two goblins, and thought of her daughter, last time... After that, she accepted her fate and hoped that the man would go to their place. However, taking another look at Chen Qing, it was clear that he had no chance tonight.
After leaving the theater and getting into the car, Simon waited for Chen Qing to give instructions to the driver and asked casually: "What gift?"
Chen Qing posted it with a smile: "This is the roster I showed my boss last time. Except for those models, I brought all the others this time."
Simon hummed.
Chen Qing hugged her boss's arm and took the initiative to change the topic: "Because of my boss's trip to Southeast Asia, there has been a lot of excitement in China recently."
"Um?"
"Anyway, it's all over the place," Chen Qing curled her lips: "There was also a Japanese newspaper that commented that the boss was dissatisfied with China's business environment and began to re-adjust the Asian layout."
"Then you came?"
"No, I've explained everything I can. It's a normal investment adjustment." Chen Qing shook her head on her boss's shoulder: "Besides, I am completely the boss's wife now, and I have children. Of course. The position is very firm. Well, I can't guarantee whether Asu's position is firm or whether he will say anything nonsense."
Simon smiled and reached out and pinched this girl's cheek: "She doesn't need your guarantee."
The instigation failed.
Chen Qing was not embarrassed at all. She giggled a few times, but finally couldn't help but said, "Boss, now is an opportunity. The country takes your attitude very seriously. It just so happens that we can take the opportunity to make some demands."
Simon shook his head: "On the Chinese side, it is enough to complete the layout we have laid out now in a short period of time, and you don't want to create extraneous problems."
After being beaten again, Chen Qing pouted and pretended to be cute: "Boss, it's not a matter of whether I will cause trouble, but the current situation, the key node of joining the WTO, and China is still undergoing deepening reforms in many aspects. This happens to be our opportunity. If we don’t want something, we have to give it to others.”
Simon glanced at Nizi beside him, seeming to be interested: "Tell me, what are the specific opportunities?"
"For example, there is one recently. CNOOC plans to launch an IPO again. We must win this time, right?"
Having learned from the failure of its first IPO, CNOOC will definitely provide more high-quality assets this time and take the initiative to lower the stock issuance price. To be honest, I don’t want this kind of big bargain that comes to my doorstep. You really want to take advantage of others.
Simon nodded: "Okay, you can communicate with Cersei's team."
Chen Qing was very pleased that her boss had not left completely yet. She agreed and said, "I think, boss, we can take advantage of the situation to open up investment banking business, right?"
Simon shook his head directly: "Cersei's team is already involved in a lot of investment banking business, there is no need for us to do everything."
The three companies under Cersei Capital are currently involved in a very wide range of businesses, not to mention the penetration of Westeros companies into other Wall Street giants through shareholdings. Simon really has no strong intention to go further. After all, Wall Street investment banks are always so famous in the hearts of ordinary people, and their popularity has steadily surpassed other financial giants. They may seem glamorous, but in fact, they are just the ones who stand out.
It's better to keep a low profile.
Moreover, as Simon said, even without putting up an investment banking brand with great fanfare, Cersei Capital is already involved in many related businesses, such as corporate mergers and acquisitions, sufficient information, venture capital, etc.
Pfizer, which is currently in the final stage of the merger, acquired Warner Lambert. The huge merger of 200 billion yuan should have been the traditional business scope of investment banks. The company providing merger and acquisition consulting was the Apollo Management team of Cersei Capital. Even in the area of stock underwriting, as a signature business of investment banks, Cersei Capital is not directly involved, but it has been deeply involved as a buyer in many popular IPOs.
His boss was not very interested, so Chen Qing stopped mentioning it and returned to the previous topic: "Also, boss, do you remember what I said last time about the project between CNOOC and Royal Dutch Shell? Since we want to help CNOOC go public, this Can we also have a hand in the project?"
Simon shook his head again: "Change to another sheep, don't catch one, it's all bald."
Because Simon, the big butterfly, is making more and more moves in China, it goes without saying that a sketch that was supposed to appear on last year's Spring Festival Gala is no longer available. However, this did not prevent Chen Qing from understanding it instantly. She also imagined a certain scene and laughed: "Okay, let's change it, haha."
Several projects continued to be discussed, Simon agreed or not, and the car soon arrived at an estate in the woods north of East Hampton.
After getting out of the car, Chen Qing took her boss all the way to the second floor of the main villa. At the same time, she asked her two cronies, sisters Jiang Shanwu and Jiang Yuanchi, to help prepare coffee and call people.
After coming to a comfortable small living room upstairs and sitting down, Chen Qing continued to cuddle up next to the man and asked: "Boss, do you want to call us all over here, or should we watch them one by one?"
"Let's separate."
Chen Qing then signaled to Jiang Shanwu who had brought the coffee. When she left, she personally delivered the warm coffee cup to her boss. After a pause, she still couldn't hold back and asked, "Boss, since last time, I I just noticed that you seem to be worried about something?"
Simon nodded slightly and did not deny it.
Chen Qing just blinked her big eyes, hoping that her boss would talk to her about what was on her mind.
Simon took a sip of coffee, considered it for a while, and said, "Actually, after I gradually straighten things out recently, I'm not as worried as you think."
"Um?"
Simon said: "Birth, growth, prosperity, and decline are the inevitable laws of anything, right?"
Chen Qing was puzzled, but nodded: "Yeah."
Simon shrugged slightly: "So, there is nothing to worry about. I just hope that there will not be too much fluctuation between prosperity and decline."
Chen Qing was somewhat clear, yet somewhat unsure: "Boss, you mean, the United States?"
Simon smiled and said: "Not just the United States," he hesitated slightly and said bluntly: "There is also China."
Chen Qing tilted her head, thinking.
Obviously, her boss still didn't explain many things thoroughly, but she probably got some clues.
It's just that it's still a bit unbelievable.
For example... China has surpassed the United States. Well, the gap between the two in GDP is 8 times. How can it surpass it
