Hunt Hollywood!

Chen Qing and the two women left Simon's office and rushed to the Cersei Capital headquarters, which is also located at 1230 Rockefeller Center. .

The floor where the Apollo Management Company was located was not deserted at all because of Sunday, and people still came and went between the various office areas.

Chen Qing knew that Apollo Management was recently promoting the acquisition of a graphite electrode manufacturer ucar International, involving an amount of more than 1 billion US dollars.

What ucar produces is not a graphite electrode in a battery, but a peripheral product of the iron and steel industry, which is used for heating the steel inside an electric furnace. Because this graphite electrode needs to be in contact with the iron and steel solution with a high temperature of more than 2,000 degrees for a long time, it needs frequent Replacement is a consumable that is just needed, and there are only two such manufacturers in the world, the other is the German sgl group.

In the past few years, due to the downturn of the global economy, the steel industry has entered a trough period, and the demand for graphite electrodes has also decreased significantly.

Apollo management company launched the acquisition of ucar company at this time, obviously optimistic about the prospects of the world economy.

Chen Qing believes that there may be Chinese factors in it.

China's rapid economic growth in recent years is obvious to all, and because of the great emphasis on infrastructure construction, China's demand for steel has continued to increase significantly.

After returning to China two months ago, Chen Qing found out that Australia's Billiton Group invested in a large steel company in Jiangsu Province with funds, technology and equipment equivalent to US$500 million, acquiring 30% of the shares, and will In the next 10 years, it will become the sole supplier of iron ore raw materials for this large steel giant. Not only that, the Billiton Group has also invested another 200 million US dollars in the expansion and construction of the Lianyungang terminal, a large seaport in Jiangsu Province.

A total of 700 million US dollars of investment, equivalent to 6 billion yuan at the current exchange rate, shows that the Westeros system is optimistic about the steel industry.

Apollo Management's acquisition of ucar is obviously an extension of this optimism.

Chen Qing also found that many companies in the Westeros system seem to be unrelated, but in fact they are inextricably linked. Just like Apollo Management Company, this company invests in many projects, such as fashion, real estate, etc. Such as technology, etc., can be regarded as the familiar strengths of the Westeros system.

On the other hand, it is probably because of these large investments in China by the Westeros system. When they returned to China, someone specially found them, hoping that the two women would try to invite Simon to make a public visit to China. Obviously, as long as their bosses agree, they will come from Chinese officials. A formal invitation will be sent immediately.

Too bad a guy shouldn't be interested in that.

Back at their offices in the Apollo Management Company, Chen Qing immediately called Leon Black. Her immediate supervisor was Jared Buckley, who was in charge of the China business. However, Skober was an American company. , if you want to initiate an acquisition, it is best to interview Leon Black, the CEO of Apollo Management Company.

Black's secretary on the other side of the phone said that the boss was meeting guests, and there would be time in an hour.

Chen Qing was not in a hurry. She made an appointment to sit in the office she shared with Lin Su and started to read the information about the vcd industry and Scober.

When she first joined Cersei Capital, Chen Qing was full of awe for this Wall Street giant.

Even though she appeared very confident on the surface, she was actually just emboldening herself. She is only an English major from China, and her knowledge of Wall Street is limited to books and a small amount of hearsay, so she is still very uneasy in her heart, worried that she will smash.

However, after half a year of familiarity, Chen Qing gradually felt relieved.

First of all, Chen Qing is not mistaken. Wall Street is indeed a very competitive place, and it has gathered a large number of the top smart people from all over the world. The circle is also full of intrigues. Therefore, as long as you don't work hard, in a blink of an eye may be left far away. . This can be seen from the fact that the company headquarters is still overcrowded today Sunday.

Of course you can rest as required, however, maybe when you come back from the working day, there is no place for you here.

Secondly, Chen Qing got another point wrong. Wall Street does not have to be a graduate of economics and finance to enter.

The threshold for this circle is actually very low.

Many Wall Street bigwigs who shine in this circle, only a few of them studied economics and finance in college, like Lawrence Fink, the CEO of Black Rock Asset Management, who studied politics at USC. Xue, Leon Black, CEO of Apollo Management Company, holds a degree in philosophy from Princeton University, and Michael Lewis, the author of the book "Liar's Poker" that Chen Qing has just finished reading the inside story of Wall Street, the other's college major It's art history, and yet, this guy made a fortune at Salomon Brothers in its heyday and became a best-selling author of financial debt after leaving.

Chen Qing has raised this question to some people. She thinks what she said at an internal company party during Christmas last year was very reasonable. What this circle needs is smart minds and hard work, and professional knowledge is second, because as long as you Smart enough and hardworking, what knowledge you need, you can learn while doing it.

After understanding this, Chen Qing no longer had the anxiety he once had.

Smart and hardworking, she has no shortage of new knowledge, even if she can't remember it, she can do it two or three times.

Keeping in mind, hard work, she is also confident that she can surpass most people. Even if no one else told her, but she realized the network, just Simon Westeros, she felt that it was enough to completely blow up everyone in the building at the moment.

At the appointed time, Chen Qing got up on time and left the office with a stack of documents. Lin Su, who was behind the desk next to her, saw that she didn't call her, so she paused and didn't follow.

In any case, she does not have the strong ambition of Chen Qing in her bones.

Just got a little distracted.

Imagine if a guy will continue abstinence tonight.

So much the better.

When they came to Leon Black's office, neither of them were idlers. They handed over some prepared materials to each other. Chen Qing roughly stated the project and the results of the meeting with Simon.

In 1994, China's vcd shipments were less than 20,000 units.

However, just in January this year, with the widespread dissemination of vcd technology, according to the approximate data obtained by Chen Qing during his stay in China, this number has exceeded 30,000 units, and it is expected to reach more than 500,000 units in 1995.

Moreover, through professional market research, both Chen Qing and the BBK team believe that this is just the beginning.

Take the relatively popular VCRs as an example. As of 1994, there were about 7 million VCRs in China, which is the best reference.

The price of a video recorder in China is around 3,000 yuan at a minimum, and the more expensive brands can easily cost tens of thousands. This is not the most important, the key is the video tape. The price of video tape is generally 20 to 40 yuan, and it is still pirated, which is not affordable for ordinary families. Therefore, many people buy video recorders, mostly to open video halls. do business.

Even so, there are as many as 7 million VCRs in China.

Looking at vcd, although the price of vcd in China is still as high as more than 4,000 yuan at this stage, as long as the market demand increases, under mass production, the price of various core components will definitely drop rapidly, and ultimately the price of vcd will not be 2,000 yuan. impossible.

The cheapest is the vcd disc. .

Compared with the price of 20 yuan to 40 yuan for video tapes, the retail price of vcd discs is only less than 10 yuan.

Of course, this refers to piracy.

In fact, everyone knows that this is the current situation in China. At present, ordinary Chinese people cannot afford the high price of genuine audio-visual resources. The rise of vcd must only rely on the cheap pirated content industry chain.

Chen Qing mentioned this in her information to Simon, and she did not hear any objection from her own boss, who has a huge industry in Hollywood.

Obviously the default.

Compared with the absolute advantage of video recorders, coupled with the rapid improvement of national consumption level driven by China's economic growth, Chen Qing believes that the popularization of vcd in China is an inevitable and inevitable trend, and the market capacity will definitely be higher than that of video recorders. .

It's almost noon.

While listening to Chen Qing's introduction, Leon Black spent about 15 minutes quickly browsing the relevant information, and looked up at Chen Qing: "Chen, I've been very busy recently, but I don't have time to help you take care of this case, what are you going to do? Do?"

Chen Qing directly handed a page of A4 paper with several names to Leon Black: "I know, Leon, I have done enough preliminary work, you just need to give me these people and form an acquisition team ."

Leon Black picked up the A4 page and glanced at it: "Christopher Dore, I still want to promote him to be one of my assistants during this time, and Emmanuel Brandt, one of the Thomas team. The aggressive french chick in, jeez, that kick on Chris at the party last weekend, nearly smashed, and Nick Mendelsohn, Lloyd McEntire, Carla Hills ."

Having said this, Leon Black has already shook his head: "Chen, Simon arranged for you to be Jared's deputy, and I have also agreed to the two assistants hired by you and Lin. Now, you are planning to Do it alone?"

Chen Qing looked like a well-behaved girl when she asked her parents for pocket money: "Leon, our company has more than 200 employees, and I only need five."

"But the five people you asked for, um, you should know."

Chen Qing is of course aware that this is the result of her quiet observation over the past few months. The five people are all under the age of 30, and they are all rising stars with huge potential and rapid growth. It is no surprise that they all hope to become the core of this company in the future. backbone. Chen Qing is very aware of her strengths and weaknesses. She is smart enough to work hard, but because of the short time in this circle, she lacks enough experience to accumulate.

The five people on the list can just make up for her shortcomings in these areas.

However, facing Leon Black at this time, Chen Qing certainly wouldn't show it: "Leon, I think there are many outstanding people in our company, they are only five of them, and this is what Simon agreed."

Leon Black immediately dismantled: "Simon agrees with you to be responsible for this acquisition, but will not agree with you to pull out these five people to form your own team."

Chen Qing immediately took out a delicate Nokia mobile phone and shook it towards Leon Black across the desk: "How about I call him now?"

When Leon Black saw Chen Qing press the button, he was really uncertain. His boss could really describe the woman around him as connivance.

Moreover, he didn't want to stab Simon because of a trivial matter, and he joined the half of Apollo management company.

Years later, the Oriental girl opposite was really good enough, not the kind of vase that recklessly relied on Simon's favor. Even he recognized the other party very much, and believed that his own boss also measured it.

This trivial matter disturbed Simon. If the big boss felt that he was deliberately making things difficult for Chen Qing to exclude others, it would be even more troublesome.

The case of Black Rock’s acquisition of State Street’s asset management department, which was finalized a few days ago, was on the surface a major expansion of Black Rock. Leon Black knew very well that it was actually a beating on Lawrence Fink.

In the end, it was a compromise: "In this way, Chen, I will help you pick a few people. As for Chris's team, that French girl will also be among them."

Seeing that Leon Black's tone was loose, Chen Qing lowered her head and started to press keys: "I think I'd better call Simon."

Leon Black paused, seeing that Chen Qing's fingertips kept on, and finally said: "Okay, okay, but I only give you one day, you can talk to them yourself, if these people don't want to join your team , you can't force it."

Chen Qing immediately put away her phone and raised her head with a smile: "Deal."

Leon Black was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that the girl opposite must have had contact with these five people on the list, and it may have been negotiated. The small threshold he set at the end did not work at all. Helplessly smiled, and said, "Okay, you've succeeded, I'll have a meal right away."

Chen Qing got up immediately and said, "Don't disturb you, Leon, goodbye."

It has indeed been negotiated in advance. After leaving Leon Black's office, Chen Qing began to summon her own people. The five people on the list all arrived at the company today. They are all ambitious young people. They all know who is standing behind Chen Qing and the two women. , and also knew that as long as she cooperated with Chen Qing and the two women, it was easy to attract the attention of the big boss, so after Chen Qing sent out the invitation, she agreed without much hesitation.

In fact, through this period of communication, Chen Qing has seen more people, but she also knows that only such a small team will not cause her own listing and the company's boss to rebound.

Otherwise, even if the trouble comes to Simon, Leon Black may not agree, and maybe Simon will not agree.

Moreover, this small team is actually not small.

In addition to Chen Qing and Lin Su and the five people who have just joined, Chen Qing also hired two top students as their assistants, one from MIT and the other from Princeton, both of whom have economic and financial related talents. A professional degree can just make up for the lack of professional knowledge of the two women.

In addition, the two female waiters and two female guards that Simon provided for them, a total of four people, have also become the assistants of the two women in the past few months. During the trip to China during the New Year, Chen Qing also brought the four daughters back to China. .

Calculated, this is already a team of 13 people.

Many Wall Street financial giants did not necessarily have such a scale in the early days.

Moreover, Chen Qing actually set up an office of her own in China, employing a total of six people. The office is located in Shanghai and is responsible for the communication between China and the United States. The salaries of the six people are paid by the two women privately. It is precisely because In this office, Lin Su didn't donate all the advance salary until the last time she went back.

Chen Qing also suggested that the office should be paid by herself, and the annual salary of the two would be converted into RMB. With the current salary level in China, it is more than enough to support a team of 60 people in China, let alone only six people. Lin Su instinctively did not want Chen Qing to succeed, so it became the office of the two.

After lunch, we introduced each other, and in the afternoon, the team began to make final preparations for the acquisition of Skober.

In this way, until the evening, the two women had not forgotten the man's advice. The two women were about to get off work at five o'clock on time to return to their residence in the Upper West Side to prepare, when they suddenly received a call from girl a, and the dinner was temporarily cancelled.

For unknown reasons, some regret and loss, so I decided to work overtime.

On the other side, Simon received a call from Grace when he was about to get off work. The woman asked him if he had time to have dinner together, and also said that he could stay outside until nine o'clock in the evening. Feeling the cautious expectation in the woman's tone, Simon was not Come up with a thought of rejection.

Made an appointment to dine in the apartment on Fifth Avenue.

Simon came home from get off work, but Grace didn't come alone, and brought Bryce Levison with him. Knowing the woman's situation roughly, after the last incident, the Levisons were basically separated, Francis Levison stayed in Miami to handle company affairs, and Bryce Levison took care of his son's studies in the name of Live in New York.

Bryce entered the door with Grace, looking righteous, and said that her excuse was not in vain.

Probably understand what happened.

Without letting the waitress get started, the three of them personally prepared the dinner. To be precise, there were only two of them, Simon and Grace. The other one was only served by others since childhood and could not tell the difference between salt and sugar. When dinner was about to be ready, he volunteered to light a candle, saying that he wanted to enjoy a candlelight dinner. Simon had to send Grace with him, worried that Bryce would burn the house down.

Quirky candlelight dinner for three.

Overall it's cozy.

We were chatting about various things at will, and before I knew it, it was already more than seven o'clock.

Simon's personal cell phone rang suddenly.

After answering, it was an unexpected voice, Irene Lauder, the woman's tone on the phone was very formal, asking Simon if he wanted to participate in a fancy dress party in a circle at a bar in Midtown.

Simon could only refuse.

At the dining table, seeing the man hang up the phone, Bryce has a curious expression of inquiry, but Simon has no meaning to explain.

However, Grace heard the name 'Irene' during Simon's conversation, and keenly remembered the reception of the Lauder family last night. She couldn't hold back her curiosity, and watched the man with some strange inquiry: "I have been in Think, what can a man and a woman do in ten minutes?"

Bryce was confused.

Simon understood immediately, thinking of the little absurdity last night, of course he wouldn't tell Grace, he just smiled and said, "Actually, five minutes is enough. I'll show you later."

Bryce looked left and right, seeing that Grace's face was a little more charming under the candlelight, she seemed to understand something, and asked, "Are you talking about a yellow joke that I don't understand?"

Simon nodded: "Yeah, very yellow, very violent."

Grace blushed.

Bryce kept asking, but Simon didn't explain until after dinner.

Nine o'clock sharp.

Grace refused Simon's stay and left on time, but the other woman had no intention of getting up from the big bed, and accused a guy of murder.

I thought that would be the case tonight.

It was nearly ten o'clock, just as I came out of the bathroom with a certain woman in my arms, the phone rang again.

It was still Erin Lauder calling.

The girl's voice was drifting away, indicating that she was drunk. If Simon didn't pick her up in person, she would let anyone pick her up, and warned her family not to inform her, otherwise she would run away from home, Serious kind.

Simon had no choice but to rush to the bar in Midtown in person.

The masquerade is still going on.

It is easy to find a certain woman in a corner, and she has already drank a lot, but she is not drunk, and she looks very clear. Simon remembers that the woman said that because of her family background, she attends more than 200 parties every year. Of course, the amount of alcohol Not bad.

But he was reluctant to go by himself, and he was willing to leave until Simon held it.

Can only hold.

Shrinking in the man's arms, he started talking, accusing a certain guy of being a devil, and turning her, a Jewish girl who had been religious for more than 20 years, into a bad woman in ten minutes, and wanted compensation.

Don't have to choose another time, just tonight, meat compensation.

Not wanting Simon to send her home.

Simon didn't dare to take her back to the apartment on Fifth Avenue. Bryce's arrogant temperament, Grace was okay, another woman appeared and might fight.

There are quite a few properties in Manhattan, but they are rarely inhabited, and it is very troublesome to temporarily pack them in the middle of the night. In the end, they could only call for a helicopter and rush to the manor in the northern suburbs of Greenwich.
