Chapter 2710 Olive Branch

The opening ceremony on the night of the 8th was undoubtedly successful and eye-catching...an opening ceremony that cannot be overstated by any number of adjectives.

Such an opening ceremony that amazed the whole world has certainly achieved a lot of results. We have successfully impressed many foreign guests who came to China for the first time, and those foreign guests also learned more about us through the opening ceremony. understanding.

On the 9th, the first question asked by those business leaders sitting in the stands must be, "Have you seen the opening ceremony last night?"

This is also the question Feng Yiping asked Paulson at the Olympic Plaza.

At this time, Paulson finally took off his suit and wore a T-shirt, no different from other spectators entering the venue.

But Feng Yiping believes that the main reason why he is dressed like this is to match the hat on his head.

"I'm very glad that I finally decided to go to the scene. It was very, very shocking," Paulson said. "It's unforgettable for a long time."

His wife, Wendy, looked much better today. "Feng, thank you for your thoughtful arrangements yesterday,"

Feng Yiping wanted to say that that was a thoughtful arrangement by our government. "You're welcome. Sorry Wendy, I'd like to borrow him for a few minutes, can you? Don't worry," he pointed at the huge square and said, "There will be no more capable people here." The obstacle that hurt his head,"

"Feng, you are so funny," Wendy waved, "You can take him away and never come back,"

"Then I really took him away," Feng Yiping smiled and led Paulson aside.

"Is there any problem?" Paulson asked with a frown.

It seemed that he really couldn't relax.

"There's no problem, but the reason why I'm looking for you is really related to Wendy's joke," Feng Yiping said, "Do you still remember the question I asked you before?"

"I think you're going to have an uphill battle to fight when you get back to the United States, and by then we may not have much time to discuss this issue,"

"For now, I don't want to think about it," Paulson said.

"I have no other intentions at all," Feng Yiping said. "I think that with your achievements and status, you are most suitable to establish a foundation named after you after you leave office."

Unlike other senior government officials who are outgoing, Paulson's achievements on Wall Street and in business could be said to have reached their peak before he accepted George W. Bush's invitation.

Therefore, after January next year, many senior officials in George W. Bush's cabinet will gladly accept invitations from some companies and institutions to take up very respectable and well-paid positions, but Paulson is obviously not suitable for this path.

How could the former King of Wall Street, the successful leader of Goldman Sachs, hold those positions?

Wall Street obviously can't go back.

"But have you been devoting all your energy to some retreat from next year?"

"Don't you want to use other methods to continue to create greater glory in the global financial field?"

Paulson smiled, but Feng Yiping said before he could speak, "Of course, I know that Goldman Sachs is your most proud work, and it is difficult to surpass it, but look at the growth rate of Goldman Sachs, compared with ours, which has only a few people. How does it compare to funds?”

This made the smug look on Paulson's face fade away. The fund you were working on made one or two billion US dollars in one or two years. How can this compare?

But... Feng Yiping once again said before he could speak, "You should believe me,"

Paulson certainly did not deny this and nodded.

"I can tell you for sure that from now to the future, there will still be similar opportunities for nuggets, but you know, I personally am not good at this kind of operation, and you happen to be very good at it,"

"I can also guarantee that we will not move too much in this area, so you can still have a lot of time during the year to spend on leisure vacations or promote other projects you want to promote,"

"Think about it Paulson, if you only work for half a year or a few quarters a year, but can achieve more dazzling achievements than before, would you be willing?"

He did not mention the issue of remuneration, because that would not be a problem. It can be said that the salary of a person like Paulson has been determined, and Feng Yiping will not pay less.

On the other hand, it would be somewhat insulting to discuss salary issues with Paulson at this time.

"I fully believe in the prospects you describe, but Feng, I still have to think about this issue carefully," Paulson said.

"I understand very much. I just want you not to express your determination not to work in the company when you are being interviewed by reporters during this period and talking about your arrangements after leaving office."

"That's not a problem," Paulson smiled and patted Feng Yiping on the shoulder.

"Well, I won't delay you from watching the game," Feng Yiping shook hands with him. "By the way," he whispered to Paulson, "Although I know that you have been prepared in many aspects, but next, if you are in Congress If the mountain encounters a problem, as long as you need it, I think I can be of some help."

Paulson smiled and said, "Thank you,"

Feng Yiping knew that he probably thought that what he said must be similar to the way he caused trouble in half of Capitol Hill last time. He never thought that what he was talking about was O'Hei, the current popular presidential candidate.

Because he has become the presidential candidate representing the Democratic Party and is favored by voters, at least before the results of the presidential election are officially announced, the Democratic Party leaders on Capitol Hill, such as Speaker Pelosi, will work with Obama's team on major issues such as subprime mortgages.

If possible, Feng Yiping can naturally provide some convenience for Paulson's actions through Obama.

Paulson had not walked far when he was stopped by a reporter who recognized him. Looking at the sign, it was CNN.

When Feng Yiping passed by them, Paulson was still answering the questions of the female reporter, very pleasantly.

But Feng Yiping was not interested in this side of Paulson.

He was interested in the side that was completely opposite to the side that Paulson was showing now.

It is no exaggeration to say that the financial field is a field where people kill without bloodshed.

But family members know their own business. Feng Yiping knows that he is not a ruthless person. Paulson, who brought Goldman Sachs to the world's top investment bank, must be as ruthless and ruthless as he can be when he acts. He can easily only care about profits and not other things.

This is what he needs, and it is also the ability that both Li Ruiyuan and John lack at present.

Similarly, Paulson, who has been in Wall Street for decades, will surpass Li Ruiyuan and John by a large margin in terms of ability.

Of course, he also values ​​Paulson's connections.

Now it seems that he has won over quite well.

…………

In the Jiasheng Business District, Lao Ma brought his e-commerce team and just finished a meeting with the well-known luxury goods company Richemont Group.

Because of Feng Yiping's proposal, while initially completing the construction of the overseas logistics network, they have established their own team to directly supply overseas imported goods to domestic consumers.

This is an important move for them to occupy a dominant position in the field of overseas shopping while laying the foundation for the first-class domestic e-commerce.

Their current focus is the rapidly growing demand for luxury goods shopping among Chinese people.

Such a move can also bring benefits to consumers, so Lao Ma is very enthusiastic.

But judging from the results of the meeting just now, it is not very ideal.

Richemont Group can only be said to be very polite and courteous to their proposal. There may be some interest, but that's all.

However, Lao Ma did not feel frustrated. He knew the nature of these luxury companies. In fact, they do not want consumers to buy their products at low prices. On the contrary, they hope that their prices are as high as possible.

Therefore, he has been prepared for this aspect, but how to do it specifically still needs comprehensive evaluation.

Next, they will continue to meet with the heads of luxury companies such as Louis Vuitton to fully understand their attitudes.

"... It will always be difficult at the beginning, but when we get better, they will definitely come to us on their own initiative," Lao Ma encouraged the team members.

Mr. Cai said, "Looking at their arrogant appearance, I am seriously thinking, can I suggest to Mr. Feng that we just acquire them?"

"Haha," everyone laughed and clapped their hands on the table.

Lao Ma objected with a smile, "These companies don't actually have much advanced technology, Mr. Feng doesn't take them seriously,"

"Oh," he looked at his phone, why did he call?

He walked aside, "Hi Mr. Sun,"

"Hehe my friend," Masayoshi Son said as he did when he called Lao Ma before, "Long time no see,"

"Long time no see," Lao Ma said politely, "Congratulations on your successful acquisition of Yahoo,"

"Thank you Jack, I'm on my way back to the hotel from the volleyball court, I'll stay here to watch the game for the next few days, I wonder if we can meet?"

"Of course, if there is a chance, I hope to visit Feng,"

ps: Ask for a recommendation vote.
