Chapter 1017 In China (1)

Hong Kong, China's first investment bank CICC is located in the conference room of the headquarters of the Central Plaza. The meeting lasted for an hour and a half just ended.

The time is already August 28th, Thursday.

This is a meeting with only a dozen people, but the standard is very high, because the content of this meeting is to discuss matters concerning the introduction of cornerstone investors in China Telecom's Hong Kong listing. The so-called cornerstone investor means that some highly credible investment institutions, well-known companies or super-rich are identified in advance as guaranteed subscribers before a company's IPO listing, in order to further strengthen the market's confidence.

In the just-concluded meeting, most of the participants are potential cornerstone investors of China Telecom's overseas listing. It can be said that the Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia who have good relations with the Chinese authorities are basically all there.

Therefore, among a group of middle-aged and elderly men, Chen Qing and Lin Su, who are quite outstanding in appearance and temperament, are quite eye-catching. The two women participated in this meeting as Simon's direct personal representatives, while Westeros Company , will also participate in the early subscription as a cornerstone investor.

Compared with Southeast Asian Chinese businessmen, just the name of 'Westeros' is actually enough to support the role of the cornerstone investor in this IPO, whether it is credibility or capital strength. However, Simon has no intention of completely monopolizing the role.

Whether it is meat or soup, sharing with everyone is king.

Of course, after all, the volume is placed here. Compared with the total subscription quota of 1 billion U.S. dollars for the Chinese businessmen summoned by CICC, only Westeros Company alone provided 500 million U.S. dollars.

According to the current listing plan, the total financing amount of China Telecom's IPO, which was listed in advance to the end of the year, is about 5 billion US dollars. Now, the IPO plan is still in progress, and the subscription share of 1.5 billion US dollars has been directly determined, and The subscribers all have quite strong international appeal, and basically the IPO will be smooth sailing.

After the meeting was over, everyone got up one after another. As juniors, Chen Lin and the two women planned to fall behind, but they didn't want a group of middle-aged and elderly men to take the initiative to slow down. When the two women walked in, one of them invited in Mandarin: "Xiao Lin, Do you have time tonight, Zheng Sheng has a reception in Repulse Bay tonight, if you are interested, you can go and see it."

Lin Su felt the friendly tone of the tall and thin guy with glasses, and instinctively felt a little uncomfortable, and politely declined: "Sorry, Mr. Li, Chen and I are going back to the mainland soon."

"Oh, next time you have a chance."

The other party said, not only was not unhappy at all, but also took the initiative to take out a business card and hand it over, Lin Su politely took it, and did not forget to exchange business cards with the other bigwigs.

After being greeted like this for a few minutes, the two women were able to escape. They were accompanied by the four female maids and guards downstairs, got into the car, and saw that they had been acting like a servant just now. Chen Qing, who was on the business card, glared at her weakly: "Since you are more interested in these, why did you push me out?"

Chen Qing smiled like a little fox, and unceremoniously stuffed a stack of business cards into her bag before saying, "Because I want to be the mastermind behind the scenes."

Lin Su was speechless, and inexplicably thought of someone again, and said, "You...you know how to bully me."

Having said that, the car had just left the parking lot of the building. Lily Favill, who was in the front passenger seat, felt something. She took out a vibrating mobile phone from her bag and handed it to Lin Su: "Lin, your father's phone number, he It was already called once when you had a meeting with Chen."

Lin Su raised her hand subconsciously, shrank again, and finally took the phone over and pressed the answer button: "Dad... Yes, still... I'll go back soon, um, I mean, Xiaoqing and I are going. Beijing... Fake, how can I have 500 million dollars... No matter how authoritative magazines are, there will be mistakes, Dad, please don't listen to other people's nonsense... I'm sure, after a few days in Beijing, I may go back to the United States ...Dad, he's the boss of my boss's boss, I don't know how many levels higher, I haven't seen anyone for a few months... Okay, I'm going to get on the plane, that's all for now."

After saying this, Lin Su directly hung up the phone. Seeing that Chen Qing was still watching the fun, he threw the Nokia over and said, "Give it to you, all to you."

Chen Qing took over the phone with a smile, and joked, "You're pretty smooth when you tell a lie."

Lin Su glared at her: "When did I lie?"

Chen Qing blinked, then nodded: "Yes, um, you didn't lie at all, you really don't have $500 million, and now you only have $410 million in cash in your account, plus some other company shares, etc. It should be more than $500 million, no lie."

"..."

After Simon's proposal last time, the two women have successively cashed out their 2.65% of Scooby shares. With the continuous explosion of China's VCD industry and the halo of Westeros concept stocks, even according to this "Forbes" According to the closing data on August 16, according to the list of the 400 richest people in the United States, the market value of Skober has reached 19.1 billion US dollars at that time.

2.65% stake, or $506 million.

Therefore, if the two women did not cash out, the statistics of the "Forbes" list would not be too biased.

As for why Lin Su only has US$410 million on the book at this time, it is mainly because it is impossible to choose a high point like August 16 in the process of cashing out, and this money has not yet been declared tax, if the 15% capital that needs to be paid is subtracted Profits tax, probably only 350 million US dollars left.

In any case, a woman who has only immigrated to the United States for two years has such a sum of cash in her personal account, even Lin Su herself is a little at a loss now. What I didn't expect was that my partner,

And a certain hateful man, who even teamed up and secretly pushed her to this year's "Forbes" list of the 400 richest Americans in the United States, directly on the bright side.

Seeing Lin Su's dazed appearance, Chen Qing was about to continue to say something, but she remembered the phone she just took over, and she didn't even want to help connect it: "Hey... Oh, Minister Wu, I'm Xiao Chen... ... Ah Su, she fell asleep and is a little tired these days, do you need me to call her... Oh, that's fine... Yes, the meeting has just ended, and we are rushing to the airport... Tomorrow morning... no problem, Well, I'll tell her when she wakes up, that's all."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Qing saw Lin Su looking over and said: "The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, I hope we... um, no, it's Miss Lin, I can attend a seminar on China's information industry tomorrow morning, I have already agreed for you. ."

"..."

Chen Qing blinked again: "How about I go for you?"

Lin Su glared at her: "I'm not going to take you."

Chen Qing immediately went over with grievance: "Asu, how can you treat me like this..."

Lin Su, who was covered in hair, raised her hand and hit her back a few times.

Chen Qing was not angry after being beaten, but couldn't help laughing, and said, "It seems that I have made a mistake. If I knew it earlier, I would have taken the lead myself."

"You understand now?"

"Just kidding with you," Chen Qing immediately changed her tone again: "I don't plan to show this kind of limelight, um, A Su... Okay, Susu... Oh, don't fight anymore, I mean , I will be your assistant in the future, you can stay in the mansion and be a young mistress, and I will try my best to help you with other things."

Lin Su hit her again angrily, thought for a while, and said, "By the way, in the media, I mean, on the Chinese side, I don't want to make a fuss."

"Don't worry, I have already made arrangements in advance, and this matter will definitely not appear in the public media."

Lin Su immediately asked again, "What about in private, why did my father suddenly know?"

Chen Qing smiled and said, "You must know what you should know."

Lin Su pouted and wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything.

Chen Qing waited for her mood to calm down for a while before saying again: "Hey."

"Um?"

"You better take care of your money than me."

Lin Su paused and said, "I want to ask his opinion."

"The boss can have any opinion. Do you think he likes your little money? We men have 1.5 trillion US dollars."

Lin Su ignored Chen Qing's words like 'our men', but didn't say any more.

Although... such a huge amount of money was lying in her account, deep down, Lin Su always felt that she was just helping him keep a certain amount of money. After all, she never thought about it since she was a child. One day I will have that kind of money and become a billionaire or something.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Chen Qing suddenly thought of another thing: "By the way, this money, I can tell you, don't just pick it up and donate it like before."

Lin Su just rolled her eyes at her.

In the past two years, Lin Su has donated a lot of money to various public welfare and charitable organizations in China, but it is basically just her salary. As for the money in her hand, for some reason, she has no intention of using it indiscriminately. She even thought that she should return it to him. After all, the money was too much, and she felt that she couldn't bear it.

After Chen Qing finished speaking, she pointed to take a look at Lin Su's expression, she felt relieved a little, leaned back on the leather chair, mentioned the meeting she had just participated in, and couldn't help saying: "The boss is a bit misguided this time, if it wasn't for Westeros The company subscribes in the name of the company, but chooses a third party as an intermediary, and maybe we can get a lower discount."

As a cornerstone investor, you often have to take higher risks, and at the same time, you will naturally enjoy corresponding discounts.

Of course, this part of the discount is generally not exposed.

Lin Su heard Chen Qing's words, turned her head to look, subconsciously wanted to say something, paused, then fell silent again.

Chen Qing naturally also noticed Lin Su's expression, and slightly hooked the corner of her mouth.

Arrived at the airport, boarded the Gulfstream V, which was almost the private car of the two women, and departed from Hong Kong. In the evening, the plane landed at the Capital Airport, and the two women returned to Simon's courtyard in Nanluoguxiang by car.

However, in the courtyard at this time, it was no longer just the two residents of Chen Lin.

Zhu Momo and his party arrived a few days ago, and Chen Qing, who also takes care of Simon's housekeeper of various properties in China, personally arranged a group of women here, which is considered a low eyelid.

So, in the courtyard at this time, Zhu Momojia, Zhao Annie, Jill Peckert, and Li Youhu's master and apprentice, there were five more people at once. Of course, a quadrangle with a garden of the same size in Wujin, let alone 5 more people, even if it doubled several times, it would still be more than enough.

Speaking of which, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is scheduled to start filming in late September. Originally, several people from Li Youhu had already joined the crew, but because the crew was still in the final preparatory stage for the time being, they did not start to assemble. The team led by Li An decided to start now. Beijing started shooting some shots, so a few women came to the capital and stayed there for a while.

When the filming officially starts, it will begin to travel across the country.

Compared with the Chinese side, as someone close to the Westeros family, it is faster to get some news.

In the evening, when Chen Qing and Lin Su returned, they happened to meet Zhu Momo, Li Youhu and others who had just returned from a nearby Chinese opera class all day. Seeing Chen Qing and the two, they felt the deepest feeling. , actually Jill Peckett, although this

The waitress didn't know that Chen Qing had taken herself out, but as for Lin Su, with the release of Forbes' new list of the 400 richest people in the United States, she quickly knew.

Although it is Jill Peckert's ultimate goal to directly rush to the top ten C girls on the list this year, C girls with a net worth of more than 20 billion US dollars are, in general, a little far away, even if It was B, C, and D, and Jill Peckett knew that he might have no hope of catching up.

But for Lin Su, who ranked 387th on this year's list, Jill felt that she could still catch up.

No matter what their thoughts are, since they met, they were very friendly to each other. After a long chat, they came to the inner courtyard together. Chen Qing and Lin Su still lived in the west wing. In the east wing, no one lives in the main room, and no one proposes to live in it. After all, that place belongs to a certain man by default.

Unless the other party comes, they can go in at night.

Dinner together in the evening, in the large restaurant in the courtyard, it was finally the first confrontation.

Hmm... Teacher Yu and Li Youhu, who were just eaten by someone a few days ago, relatively speaking, always felt that they had not entered a certain circle and could only watch for a while.

"I have something to say about that movie, I've read the script too, it's a very interesting story," at the dinner table, compared to the quiet Lin Su, Chen Qing naturally took the initiative in the confrontation: "However, now At this stage, China's film industry, ah, basically there is no film industry, including "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" with Fox, which is actually a good movie for me, so, Momo, you don't have to be too concerned at all. "

Zhu Momo thinks, Chen Qing has a little similar temperament of her own mother, but at first glance, it is a bit annoying, so annoying, so she confronted each other: "Sister Chen, what do you mean, Simon is not interested in Chinese movies. It is very important, is it wrong?"
