Chapter 2558 Worried
It was the lunch rush hour, but it was very quiet in a high-end restaurant in Manhattan. There were only a few people sitting at two tables by the window.
Catherine, a junior at New York University who works in the restaurant, once again took out the small mirror from her pocket to check her makeup. After confirming that it was perfect, she gently opened the door and walked into the restaurant with great energy. .
The music currently playing in the restaurant was completely different from the piano music she was familiar with. She couldn't tell what instrument it was played on, but it still sounded very beautiful.
Of course, this may be because of the young man sitting by the window meditating.
Looking at the young man shrouded in the gentle sunshine, Catherine's heart beat faster.
"Excuse me, Mr. Feng, your tea," Catherine bent down and placed a cup of green tea in front of Feng Yiping.
Damn it!
She cursed herself as she straightened up.
Because she noticed that the last two words were spoken a little erratically.
That's because Feng Yiping turned his head and glanced at her.
"Thank you," Feng Yiping nodded towards her.
At this time, Wu Qian came over with a computer from the table next to her. "Yiping, look at this," she said, pointing to a piece of news that was opened.
Feng Yiping did not look at the computer, but looked to the side.
Wu Qian took a look and saw that the waitress with even more exquisite makeup than her was standing over there with a tray, as if she wanted to leave but still wanted to stay, and she wanted to talk but still wanted to stop.
She's a little weird. What do you want to do?
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Feng Yiping asked.
"Um..." Catherine, who had always been very generous, became a little nervous again, "Can we take a photo together?"
"No problem," Feng Yiping smiled and closed the computer. Wu Qian walked over and took Catherine's iPhone. "Look here, OK," she clicked twice, "Okay."
Wu Qian is now very skilled at this job, and she even feels that she has some talent in this area.
Catherine took the phone and looked at it, thanking her repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you!"
This is a photo that is perfect enough to print and hang above your bed.
"You're welcome," Wu Qian looked at this American girl, who was also pretty in her eyes, and quickly ran back to the kitchen. As soon as the door closed, there was a faint cheer of "Wow" coming from there.
She smiled, the boss's charm was really getting bigger and bigger.
Also, who made him move higher and higher on the rich list?
In the 2008 list of the world's richest people just announced by Forbes last month, Feng Yiping, with a net worth of US$31 billion, was tied for seventh place with his Megabook rival, IKEA boss Ingvall, due to the outstanding performance of many of his companies. .
According to this list, he has once again stabilized his net worth of US$26.5 billion. Mr. Li, who is ranked 11th, once again retains the title of Asia's richest man.
And let alone the top 10 on the Forbes list, let’s just say among the top 50, who else can be as young and sunny as my boss and not greasy?
He is the only person under 30 years old on the list.
She is still single and has a good public image, so how can she not be popular with these girls?
But at this time, Feng Yiping, who was young and sunny and had once again secured his position as Asia's richest man, frowned while looking at the news on his computer, looking a little worried.
There were footsteps coming from the door of the restaurant. Wu Qian glanced at it and reminded, "Yiping, Bloomberg is here."
Feng Yiping looked up and saw the short Bloomberg striding in with two people.
Seeing Feng Yiping at the table, a smile appeared on his originally stern face, "Feng,"
Feng Yiping stood up and said, "Hello Michael, long time no see!"
During their trip to New York last month, the two did not meet later because of the scandal involving then-Governor Spitzer of New York State.
"Long time no see!" Bloomberg held Feng Yiping's hand and sat down. "Have all the things on Wall Street been settled?"
"That's almost it," Feng Yiping said.
Naturally, his recent dealings with Wall Street cannot be hidden from the founder of Bloomberg, especially when it involves Merrill Lynch.
At this time, Catherine, who had just taken a photo with Feng Yiping, came over again and faced Bloomberg. She was much more at ease, "Mr. Mayor,"
Bloomberg pointed to the tea in front of Feng Yiping, "The same green tea,"
"Please wait,"
Wu Qian, who was sitting at the table next to her, saw the girl look at her boss again before leaving.
Well, another glance, and a glance back...
Bloomberg also glanced at the young and beautiful Catherine, looked at her twisting waist, and said casually, "What a good horse."
Feng Yiping pretended not to hear this.
After you get to know a person better, you will inevitably know some of his shortcomings while getting to know him better.
This seemingly unsmiling billionaire and mayor of New York City has a problem that many people know about, and that is his discrimination against women.
Of course, many older Americans of his age are discriminatory against women, but he is relatively high-profile.
If the 9/11 incident hadn't happened suddenly that year, he might not have succeeded when he ran for mayor of New York for the first time, because many people would have attacked him for this shortcoming.
Because of 911, the people of New York have no time to care about this.
And he was successfully re-elected for the second time, and even the third time for the first time, because of his achievements as mayor.
So, he has not been able to change this habit until now.
It is said that even in New York City Hall, when he sees a beautiful woman coming to do business, he sometimes blurts out this sentence, "What a good horse!"
Among American politicians, his style can really be said to be unique.
It stands to reason that in most places in the world, not to mention in the United States, if you say such words to a beautiful woman, you will be scolded or beaten up, but New Yorkers actually sent him to the position of mayor for the second time.
It must be said that this is a huge exception.
In this regard, a certain Putin later was a bit like him, but Bloomberg's wealth is much richer.
"Feng, do you agree with the opinions of Wall Street and those experts?" Bloomberg did not waste words and asked Feng Yiping directly.
"Do you think the crisis is really over?"
"I have expressed my opinion very clearly a long time ago," Feng Yiping said.
Bloomberg rested his hands on the table, "So, you still stick to your original view that the crisis has not passed, or the most difficult time has not come yet?"
"Michael," Feng Yiping said with a smile, "Do you feel that the public opinion in the United States is somewhat similar to that in China?"
"You mean..." Bloomberg thought for a moment, and then understood what Feng Yiping said "Oh,"
After the Bear Stearns incident gradually subsided, many people from Wall Street to the American political and academic circles could not wait to stand up and shout loudly, "The crisis is over!"
"House prices are about to rise!" "The economy will recover soon..."
And in our country, there are also a lot of people saying, "The bull market is still going on, the stock market is about to pull back," "Our goal is 20,000 points," "It will definitely rise before and after the Olympics..."
Bloomberg nodded, "Really,"
The essence of this wave of public opinion on both sides is actually the same, that is, those behind the scenes hope to use this to arouse some people and hope that the people will follow their pace.
However, Bloomberg is still a little unsure.
Even though his Bloomberg News has the most comprehensive economic information in the world, sometimes too much information can be troublesome.
Because it is not easy to find the development context of some things from the extremely complex data and then correctly infer the next direction.
"But we must see that some relevant data do show signs of recovery and improvement," he said.
"Many whitewashed data are not very convincing," Feng Yiping said, "We can simply analyze the income of Wall Street companies this year. In China, Wall Street's income will inevitably decline sharply this year, right?"
Bloomberg is naturally clear about this.
Wall Street now has no new business, and some of the original business income will definitely decline sharply this year, because those securities products that were not worried about selling before are now not bought by anyone.
"We also know that the capital markets of many Asian countries were originally the traditional overseas granaries of Wall Street, but due to the turmoil in the financial markets of most Asian countries, Wall Street's income has also declined sharply,"
In this regard, Bloomberg can still interject, "Not to mention Europe, the stock market has fallen sharply, the economy has declined severely, and they are all busy with their own affairs,"
"So, it seems that," he concluded, "Wall Street's fundamentals have not changed,"
He looked in the direction of Wall Street with concern.
