Chapter 2784 Reward
In New Jersey, across the river, in Goldman Sachs' new office building, Lloyd listened to reports from two teams.
Speaking of which, the work of these two teams is related to Feng Yiping. One of them is responsible for the acquisition of ARM, and the other is responsible for the acquisition of MIH.
After the work at Hilton came to an end, these two items became the focus of Feng Yiping's attention.
For Goldman Sachs, these two acquisitions are also good opportunities for them.
Because these two companies, one in the UK and the other in South Africa, compared with the United States, Feng Yiping's influence in these two countries is still limited, especially in South Africa, Feng Yiping can be said to have no actual influence.
So this is the time for Goldman Sachs to play their advantages. In Lloyd's view, this should also be the only project in which they have dominated the cooperation with Feng Yiping so far.
He is looking forward to it.
Another good news is that, I don't know why, Feng Yiping is quite cooperative with his expectations, and he is a little uncomfortable with the cooperation-that's because Feng Yiping knows very well that as long as he can successfully acquire MIH now, it will be a big profit anyway.
So, why not just give Goldman Sachs a chance to perform?
But as far as the current situation is concerned, it is not easy for Lord to make these two projects as perfect as Feng Yiping's other acquisitions, such as the acquisition of Hilton.
The head of ARM is still quite opposed to the acquisition of the company by a large company, just like Feng Yiping's attitude when he first met.
And the acquisition of MIH does not seem to be simple. To meet Feng Yiping's requirements, it may even be necessary to directly acquire MIH's parent company, South African Newspapers.
Of course, such difficulties are not a big problem for Lord and Goldman Sachs, but they just need to spend more time thinking.
And because it is not led by Feng Yiping, Goldman Sachs will naturally get higher commissions from these two acquisition projects - of course, more importantly, he and Goldman Sachs will show their style in front of Feng Yiping.
Standing in front of the window, watching the surging river, watching the seagulls flying in the sky, and watching the tall buildings of Manhattan under the blue sky and white clouds across the street, because of the different geographical locations, Lourdes felt as if he had withdrawn from the still gloomy Wall Street, and his mind suddenly became open and broad.
Gary Cohen hurried in, "Lourdes," he looked like he didn't have any urgent business, but rather like he had found something fun.
Because he was happy, Lourdes was also in a rare mood at this time, "What's the matter?"
Cohen worked on the computer, "You will definitely be interested in this,"
"Oh?"
Lourdes took a look, it was a video on YouTube, what's so strange about it?
"What is this?"
"A restaurant in the NEXEDOOR park," Cohen said, and he looked like he was about to see a good show.
Lloyd watched patiently for a while, and saw that the employee restaurant, which seemed to be quite large, was extremely popular at this time, but for some reason, the seats were empty, and everyone surrounded the operating table, three layers inside and three layers outside, tightly surrounded.
Those who came late and failed to occupy a good position jumped up from time to time. What good things were there?
The camera flashed over the crowded crowd. Could it be that they used a crane for this?
Lloyd saw several familiar people flashing in front of him, Cummins, John, and Xu... Wait, he pointed at the computer, "That's..."
"Yes, that's Feng," Cohen laughed.
"Feng, hahaha," Lloyd pointed at the computer with one hand, slapped his thigh with one hand, and laughed heartily.
In fact, the Feng Yiping who appeared in front of the camera at this time was not the one he was familiar with. This was Feng Yiping dressed as a chef, and he wore a chef's hat seriously.
Holding a spatula in his hand, he stood in front of the operating table filled with various seasoning bowls, narrowing his eyes. It's not surprising that he looked quite professional.
"This is a versatile person," Lourdes commented with a smile.
He can't be called a versatile person, nor can he be called a professional, but Feng Yiping really put a lot of thought into today.
"I believe that among the Chinese dishes that everyone is familiar with, there must be one, and that is what I am going to present to you today, Yangzhou fried rice,"
Hearing that it was just this, the onlookers were a little disappointed. Although it was the big boss who made it himself, fried rice is just fried rice after all.
It's not as good as spicy chicken or General Tso's chicken, which at least has meat.
Feng Yiping saw the expressions of these people, "Believe me, I will not let you down after it's done,"
He pointed to the operating table behind him, "These will be the raw materials I need to make this fried rice,"
Hearing him say this, the onlookers suddenly became a little agitated. At a glance, there are at least 20 kinds of Yangzhou fried rice. Does it require so many raw materials?
Come on, it's not like we haven't eaten it before.
Xu Bin, who has been in Guangzhou for a long time, smiled and said nothing. Those employees who have patronized Mantingfang and ordered this fried rice also knew for the first time that it was no wonder that the fried rice there was so delicious and expensive. It turned out that so many raw materials were needed.
"We need to use sea cucumbers, shrimps, scallops, chicken thighs, ham, pine nuts, green beans, fresh bamboo shoots... and of course, fresh eggs,"
Like a host of a food show, Feng Yiping showed everyone every ingredient that needed to be used. Of course, ingredients such as sea cucumbers that needed to be soaked had been prepared long ago.
"Do you feel like you've eaten fake Yangzhou fried rice before? This is normal. Even in China, we can't eat the most authentic Yangzhou fried rice in any Chinese restaurant,"
"Okay, let's start now,"
As the audience watched with interest, he turned on the fire. At this time, he naturally had to say a few words, "Fire is nature's greatest gift to mankind... When you finish a day's work and return home, watching the flames kissing the cooker in the kitchen, you will feel a sense of warmth in your heart..."
When the oil is hot, put in the ham, "This is the best ham in China, it has red meat and white fat, bright meat color, rich aroma, and delicious taste..."
Finally, when adding rice, "Fried rice has a long history in China. The earliest recorded fried rice appeared on bamboo slips from the Western Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago..."
When it comes to skills, you naturally have to show off , "Chinese cooking is extremely mysterious and difficult to replicate. There are a thousand hands and a thousand flavors... In the Chinese culinary world, if you can make a bowl of Yangzhou fried rice well, you can be called a master..."
"In this regard, I personally have some secrets that are passed down to men but not women, and passed down to insiders but not outsiders. Today I can reveal one of them to you a little bit, that is, in the whole process, the green onion should be added three times,"
"The first time, when the oil is hot, let the oil be fragrant; the second time, when the rice is added, let the rice be fragrant, and the third time is now, add it in, and it will be half cooked... OK, fried rice is ready, everyone,"
He put the results of his show-off and nagging for a long time on the plate. Not to mention, even Lauer and others looked very tempting in the video. The plate was green and white, red and yellow, and the rice was full and separated... Just looking at it, it was steaming and fragrant.
At the scene of the video shooting, everyone was even more excited. This was the meal of the youngest super-rich in the world. Who wouldn't want it?
However, they naturally couldn't grab it this time. The only one was packed into two plates and divided into two for the meritorious officials of this time, Cummins and Xu Bin.
They were also very smart. They ran away after getting it, leaving no chance for others to grab it.
"Don't worry, we can make 5 more plates of the rest," Chef Feng announced with a smile...
Lourde turned off the video, "He used a fried rice to reward the M&A team?"
"The effect is still very good," Cohen said, "Look at the clicks and the comments,"
Lourde looked at the data. It was only two hours after uploading, and the number of clicks had approached 600,000 times, and the comments exceeded 5,000. He took a quick look and saw that most of them were "I also want a boss like this," "Feng looks so handsome when making fried rice!"...
There were also some daydreamy mumblings, "I want to marry a man like this,"
Lourde still instinctively felt that things were not that simple, "There must be something in this. Think about it, what did Feng do that didn't have a deep meaning?"
A fried rice, there is a deep meaning? Cohen really couldn't think of it.
To promote YouTube?
But YouTube still needs promotion now?
