Keep in mind our website and wish you all a happy reading! Don't forget to spread the word.
Also at noon on Saturday, in Hangzhou, thousands of miles away from Yangshuo, a grand reception banquet was being held in a high-end hotel by the West Lake.
Politics and business unite.
The reception target is the Chinese investment team of Apollo Management Company from the United States.
There are two core guests, Jared Buckley, head of Apollo Management's China business unit, and Lin Su.
As for Leon Black, the CEO of Apollo Management, who seems to many to be a bigger name, has returned to the United States at this time. Moreover, the so-called investment investigation this time was not in the work schedule of the Apollo management team's trip to China, because Lin Su followed someone behind him and appeared on a news program with the longest lifespan and the biggest brand in China.
This city is also Lin Su's hometown.
Then, someone with a heart made some inquiries and found that the girl of the Lin family had unknowingly made a lot of money. It turned out to be Mr. Simon Westero's China affairs assistant. Lin Su was in charge of many of the schedules of this trip to China. , and also stood within a conspicuous distance of less than two meters in Westeros and appeared together on the hookup.
If so, how can you ignore your hometown?
Lin Su thought it would not work.
After all, it's not just his own family. The seven aunts and eight aunts around the Lin family are all involved in the system. If you don't care... it's actually fine. But more importantly, if you manage it, a series of intertwined relationships will follow with great benefits. After all, the current domestic trend is like this. With economic construction as the center, as long as it can attract investment, it is a real political achievement. If it is foreign investment, add another yard.
After several days of various phone bombings and face-to-face lobbying, Lin Su, who was very entangled, finally mentioned it to a certain guy. The man was very straightforward and threw her the Zhejiang Province enterprise data collected by Cersei Capital China Economic Research Institute. Pick it yourself, if you pick a company or project that satisfies him, you can invest.
Otherwise, no discussion.
In fact, the information and analysis provided by Cersei Capital China Economic Research Institute are very detailed, and you can basically follow the map.
However, things are not so simple.
There are indeed many good companies, but others do not necessarily need your investment. Therefore, on the basis of choosing the right target, both parties must have cooperation intentions.
This matter cannot be solved in a day or two. Lin Su still has a lot of work to do in Beijing, so she can only bring over the team from the Chinese business department of Apollo Management Company and Chen Qing who are still in China. , first investigate and find the project, and if it is achieved, it can be regarded as a contribution to the hometown.
As for Lin Su herself, she will return to the capital in the afternoon.
Bringing his father, who seemed to be glowing with the second spring, to socialize with a group of political and business leaders, no one forced Lin Su to persuade him to drink, but his face was still blushing, and Lin's father was even drunk and was helped out to rest in advance.
It wasn't until after one o'clock in the afternoon that the banquet began to come to an end. Lin Su, who was going to leave, found Jared Buckley and Ran Yue again.
The people who will be in charge of the inspection and negotiation here are Jared Buckley and Chen Qing's Chinese assistant Ran Yue. They are sitting next to the two with a symbolic glass of red wine in their hands. Lin Su said: "Jerry, Ran Sister, I will ask you here next, we will contact you at any time, if you have any questions, my father and the others can also help."
Both of them nodded, Ran Yue thoughtfully replaced the red wine in her hand with juice, and said with a smile, "Xiao Lin, don't drink any more, in case... Oh, by the way, what are you and Chen Qing? Time to return to America?"
Lin Su was not drunk, she understood that Ran Yue was actually inquiring about when Simon left, and shook her head: "I don't know either."
Jared Buckley on the other side also said in fairly standard Chinese: "Lin, I have read a lot of corporate documents, and there are indeed many worth investing in. However, there must be a direction, can you say Speaking of what specific requirements Mr. Westeros has, I don't want to make a bad impression on the big boss by picking the wrong one?"
It would be nice if some guy gave him specific requirements.
Lin Su had some inexplicable resentment, but of course he didn't show it. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Simon has always attached great importance to China's food and beverage industry. You know this, and it happens that there are many similar enterprises in Zhejiang Province. In addition... By the way. , and cars, Simon said, China's auto market has great potential."
Ran Yue, who has a round face and a mature and charming temperament, raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard Lin Su's words "Simon said it."
Jared Buckley caught on to another point: "Geely, Lin, have you also read the company's information?"
Lin Su was slightly stunned before nodding. She also understood why she suddenly thought of what Simon had said by chance. In the past few days, she read the information and saw that a motorcycle production company called Geely in Zhejiang Province wanted to Entering the automotive field, is seeking cooperation.
This should be an opportunity.
Jared Buckley thought for a moment and said: "This seems to be difficult to handle. Chinese auto companies usually choose similar companies when they cooperate with foreign countries, because only capital is not enough for car production..."
Speaking of which, Buckley seemed to be enlightened again, as if speaking to Lin Su and as if talking to himself quickly: "However, those auto companies in the Federation are not having a good time now, and they simply don't have the funds and energy to invest in China. , so the joint venture car market in China has been occupied by German and Japanese brands in recent years. This is an opportunity for us, and there is a lot of room for operation. The big deal is that we can directly dig a group of teams from GM or Ford, and technology can also be acquired. Moreover, Geely, this company The company is a private enterprise,
This is also very beneficial to us, but I am really reluctant to cooperate with Chinese state-owned enterprises. "
Ran Yue watched a big foreigner who was more than 1.9 meters tall and had a strong body and became more and more excited. Finally, she took out a notepad to write on the dining table, and couldn't help turning to Lin Su.
What disease is this?
Lin Su smiled and leaned towards Ran Yue in a low voice, "That's how foreigners are."
In fact, to be precise, there are more lunatics on Wall Street.
Although she and Chen Qing have been in charge of a series of projects in China in the past two years, they have been outstanding, but the Chinese business department headed by Jared Buckley next to them has also achieved excellent results. Just by looking at the other party's proficiency in Chinese, you can know that he is interested in Chinese business. How caring.
Finally, after explaining, Lin Su got up and said goodbye to the leaders.
Lin's father was too drunk to move. Lin's mother, He Ning, and her younger sister, Lin Lan, sent her away together. In the car to the airport, the mother and daughter sat together in the back row. In front were the two Wei family female guards who were with Lin Su. .
After explaining to her mother, she asked her father to drink less alcohol. Lin Su held the little hand of her soon-to-be-married sister and said, "I may not be able to participate in your marriage next month, but I picked a car abroad and has already After going through the import procedures, it just happened to be shipped back at that time, which is considered a wedding gift."
Lin Lan leaned on Lin Su affectionately: "Sister, you gave me a house, um... that, what car?"
Lin Su dotingly turned her head and touched her sister, and said, "BMW."
Lin Lan was a little disappointed: "I thought it would be a Ferrari, just like the one Li Xiaohua drove on Chang'an Avenue."
"It's a sports car, not suitable for everyday use. Also, you both work in government, and it's not appropriate to drive such a conspicuous car, BMW is fine."
"Isn't there a BMW in China?"
"Domestic..." Lin Su paused, didn't say much, just said: "This model has not been sold in China yet."
Mother Lin listened to the conversation between the sisters for a while, and finally said: "Xiao Su, yourself... What is the situation now, can you tell my mother?"
Lin Su can feel that her mother should have weighed it for a long time before asking this question. After all, her family is not stupid. She went abroad as a woman and became a big man like Simon Westero in less than two years. What kind of Chinese affairs? Assistant, some of these possibilities, are too easy to associate.
Not daring to look at her mother, Lin Su lowered her head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Mom, anyway, I'm fine now."
Mother Lin also took her daughter's hand in her palm, sighed softly, and said, "If you feel unhappy outside, come back at any time, ignore your father, he has only two years left before retirement, and it's too late to be an official fan. , even if the last step is taken, what will happen."
Lin Su in turn held her mother's hand: "Mom, don't say that to my dad, he has not been easy all these years."
"Who's easy? You can live so well now, you should be content," Lin Mu said, and looked at Lin Lan on the other side: "And you, don't ask your sister for anything anymore, you are also a member of the system now, Develop this problem and be careful of bad luck in the future."
Lin Lan retorted: "I didn't want it. My sister bought it for me."
"When I didn't hear about the New Year, did you always talk about wanting a car in front of your sister? Anyway, the road in the future will be your own. With the Qin family, you think that if you climb high up, others will look up to you, and you will know yourself in the future."
Lin Lan was about to talk back, but when she heard the words, she grinned and hugged her sister tightly: "Originally, their Qin family didn't look down on me, but now that my sister is developed, of course it will be different. No matter how good their family is, can they be on the simulcast? , Anyway, Qin Yusong's parents have been very good to me recently. Yesterday, my future mother-in-law asked me what I lacked in the new house, so I took the time to buy it together. Hmph, they didn't like me before, so what will happen in the future. Just like this time, my sister The investment brought in, the political performance must not be cheaper than others. It is useless to my dad, but it is useful to me. I will step on Qin Yusong’s head first. I will leave Xiao Qin behind in the future. The resources in Lao Qin’s hands will not be given to me. Gotta give it to me."
Mother Lin obviously had a temperament similar to Lin Su. Hearing what the second daughter said, she was both angry and helpless: "This time it's your sister who contributed, not you."
"My sister's is mine."
Mother Lin raised her hand and hit her second daughter in the head: "Is this what someone said?"
Lin Lan covered her head: "I was born to you."
Seeing that her mother was about to fight again, Lin Su quickly stopped her and changed the subject: "Mom, don't forget to give the gifts I brought back to my grandparents at night. I don't have time to visit them this time. Help me apologize to my grandparents."
Mother Lin nodded, and complained again: "I have to leave from morning to afternoon, what are you doing in such a hurry, today is still Saturday, can't you stay at home for one night?"
Lin Lan interrupted again: "Mom, my sister is a big shot now."
So the head was hit again.
Lin Su slightly curled the corners of her mouth to protect her sister, and explained to her mother, "I really don't have time this time. He... Well, many things need my coordination."
Lin Lan immediately caught the flaw in her sister's words: "Sister, who is 'he', is it Simon Westeros?"
Feeling that her mother and sister looked over together, Lin Su pretended to be calm: "Yes, he is my boss."
Lin Lan smiled and turned to her mother: "Mom, maybe one day, you will have a half-race grandson."
Mother Lin was about to fight again, and Lin Lan quickly shrank back.
Lin Su could only pretend that she didn't understand her sister's words. Fortunately, after drinking at noon, her face was already rosy, but she wouldn't show it.
Seeing that her second daughter was avoiding her, Mother Lin looked at her own daughter again. After thinking about it, she didn't ask any more questions, and remembered one more thing: "Yesterday Xiaodong called and talked about studying in the United States. Xiaosu, you Didn't it work here?"
Hearing her mother mention this, Lin Su was slightly startled, but nodded: "Mom, I don't really want my brother to study abroad."
Lin Lan first wondered: "Why, how many people are crying and going to the United States now. Sister, it's enough for the Lin family to support me in the political world. I think both Adong and Axing should go to study abroad."
Mother Lin interrupted the second daughter again, holding the eldest daughter's hand tightly: "Mom wants to say, since you don't think it's suitable, leave him alone, and don't ask for help for this matter. Xiaodong wants to go. The United States applied for it by itself, after all, it is a master's degree from Peking University, and it can't even study abroad, so what kind of promise is it?"
Lin Lan rolled her eyes and said to her mother, "Of course it's fine for my younger brother to apply by himself, I think he wants to study with that brandy, so he has to trouble my sister, Jingcheng University of Science and Technology, tsk, worse than Peking University. Far."
"What brandy, she's called Bailan, I think that girl is pretty good," Lin Mu glared at her daughter again, and added, "I know what you're thinking, you don't look down on other people's working-class family background, think about whether you will be seen by the Qin family. Is this the right feeling?"
"Why is it inappropriate? I'm looked down on by others, and of course I can't look down on others. Otherwise, I'll suffer a lot... Ah, Mom, if you hit me again, I'll hit my sister."
Mother Lin hates that iron cannot become steel: "You are a snob."
"I'm a snobby," Lin Lan said, shrinking back again and turning to her sister: "Since this is the case, sister, don't worry about going abroad at all, Xiaodong went abroad by himself, just enough to get rid of that girl, in the future Find a better one."
Lin Su could only nod lightly, quietly listening to her mother and sister continue to bicker.
The two obviously ignored or misunderstood what she just said, and she didn't want her brother to study in the United States.
It's not that you can't, it's that you don't want to.
Very much do not want this to happen.
As for why.
Lin Su couldn't even say it himself.
or something to do with someone.
That guy seems to like helping people get naturalized in the United States, just like her and Chen Qing, like the girls of the Guofeng Art Troupe, like those high-IQ teenagers who have recently been collected in China.
For many people, this is a dream come true.
It's America after all.
Many people imagine that this is heaven.
However, just as his high-profile trip to China left her wondering why, she couldn't figure out why he liked it.
But one thing is certain.
This is definitely not a good idea, because, by chance, when she heard Chen Qing lingering around him and talking about the progress of going abroad for the girls of the Guofeng Art Troupe, she inadvertently noticed from the corner of his mouth. Some fleeting sarcasm, the kind of sarcasm that made her heart stab.
He's an asshole.
She has always been very sure of this, how can a bad guy do good things?
I can't do it myself.
However, since it was something he liked to do, she would definitely have to resist a little. At least, when it comes to her relatives, she can't let him succeed.
Just, what should I do about this?
The third brother Lin Dong graduated with a master's degree from Peking University this year. With the rate of studying abroad among Peking University students, even if she doesn't help, her younger brother can easily go abroad. The younger sister actually guessed right. The third brother just wanted her to help his girlfriend Bai Lan. A study abroad opportunity.
However, I really don't want to do that.
Even a little envious of Chen Qing.
She is more assertive than she is. Her sister-in-law is restless, and she wants to break up her brother's marriage. After being suppressed by her father and failing to succeed, she is very strong and directly throws money at it, promising that her sister-in-law will give the Chen family a child and reward 10 Wan, directly turn that poor woman who is not considered smart into a reproductive machine.
I guess I'll just focus on having kids.
In addition, there is a supermarket opened by Chen Qing for her brother, which is also in the form of loans.
Even if she loses, she must use the profits to slowly repay her principal when she wins.
Lin Su knew that this was the most reasonable way for adults to get along. Even if it was a relative, in many cases, the relationship would last longer if it was clearer.
But she can't.
In order to make her younger sister stand upright at her husband's house, she directly bought the best house in Hangzhou as her dowry, and now she has added a car, she is like her eldest sister.
Even the third brother.
The third brother called the family, apparently wanting to ask her parents to persuade her to help.
Although the mother did not do this, she in turn advised her not to be hard on herself. However, in fact, her brother came to beg her again, and she found that she couldn't resist at all.
Even if you don't want someone to succeed, it is estimated that you will still have to help in the end.
That is, I don't know whether he will inadvertently show that hateful mocking smile again when he finds out about this in the end.
Lin Su was still struggling with this matter until she boarded the plane to the capital.
Tangled and tangled, she gradually realized a fact that she was very reluctant to admit. It turned out that she cared so much about his thoughts.
Thinking about how busy she was day and night, he was swimming in the mountains and changing water, nestled in the red and green. Although, in fact, it was to avoid getting along with Janet Westeros that I took the initiative to stay, otherwise, I could be by his side like Chen Qing.
. However, he still couldn't hold back his resentment.
Asshole.
