Chen Qing and her two daughters left Simon's office and rushed to cersei capital headquarters, also located at 1230 building of Rockefeller Center.
Apollo management's floor did not seem deserted because of Sunday, and there were still people coming and going between the various office areas.
Chen Qing knows that Apollo management is promoting the acquisition of UCAR international, a graphite electrode manufacturer, recently, involving more than US $1 billion.
UCAR is not a graphite electrode in battery, but a peripheral product of iron and steel industry, which is used for heating the internal of electric furnace steel. Because this kind of graphite electrode needs to contact with iron and steel solution with high temperature of more than 2000 ℃ for a long time, it needs to be replaced frequently, and it is just a consumable. Moreover, there are only two such manufacturers in the world, and the other is the German SGL Group.
In the past few years, due to the global economic downturn, the steel industry has entered a low period, and the demand for graphite electrodes has also decreased significantly.
Apollo management company launched the acquisition of UCAR company at this time, which is obviously optimistic about the prospects of the world economy.
Chen Qing thinks that there are probably Chinese factors among them.
China's rapid economic growth in recent years is obvious to all. Moreover, China's demand for iron and steel continues to increase significantly because it attaches great importance to infrastructure construction.
In the first two months, Chen Qing returned to China. Because of her special attention, she found that Australia's BHP group had invested US $500 million in capital, technology and equipment into a large iron and steel enterprise in Jiangsu Province, obtaining 30% of the shares, and would become the only iron ore raw material supplier of this large iron and steel giant in the next 10 years. In addition, bituo group also spent another 200 million US dollars on the widening construction of Lianyungang wharf, a large seaport in Jiangsu Province.
The total investment of US $700 million, equivalent to RMB 6 billion at the current exchange rate, shows that westero 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 enterprises in the westero system seem to be unrelated, but in fact they are inextricably linked. Like Apollo management company, many projects invested by this enterprise, such as fashion, real estate, science and technology, can be regarded as the familiar strengths of the westero system.
On the other hand, it is probably because of the large-scale investment of westero system in China. During their return to China, someone specially found them and hoped that the two women would invite Simon to pay a public visit to China. Obviously, as long as our boss agrees, a formal invitation from Chinese officials will be sent immediately.
It's a pity that someone is not interested in it.
Back in their internal office of Apollo management company, Chen Qing immediately called Leon black. Her direct supervisor is Jared Barkley, who is in charge of China business. However, scober is an American company. If she wants to launch an acquisition, it's better to have a direct interview with Leon black, CEO of Apollo management company.
Black's secretary on the other side of the line said that the boss was meeting guests and would not have time until an hour later.
Chen Qing is not in a hurry. She makes an appointment to sit in the office she shares with Lin Su and start to read the information about the VCD industry and scopper again.
Originally joined cerxi capital, Chen Qing was full of awe for the Wall Street giant.
Even though she was very confident on the surface, she was only emboldening herself. She was only an English major graduate from China. Her knowledge of Wall Street was limited to books and a small amount of hearsay. Therefore, she was still very worried that she would screw up.
However, after half a year of familiarity, Chen Qing gradually put her heart down.
First of all, Chen Qing did not make a mistake. Wall Street is really a place with fierce competition, and it has gathered a large number of top smart people from all over the world. The circle is also full of intrigue and the law of the jungle. Therefore, as long as you don't work hard, you can be far away from others in the twinkling of an eye.
This can be seen from the fact that the company's headquarters are still overcrowded today and Sunday.
Of course, you can rest according to the rules. However, maybe when you come back from work, there is no place for you.
Secondly, Chen Qing made another mistake. Wall Street does not have to be graduates of economics and finance to enter.
The threshold of this circle is even very low.
A lot of Wall Street tycoons who are brilliant in this circle, only a few of them majored in economics and finance when they were in college, just like Lawrence Fink, CEO of black rock asset management company, who was studying political science in USC, Leon Blake, CEO of Apollo management company, who got a degree in philosophy from Princeton University, and Chen Qing who just finished that book recently Michael Lewis, the author of "the liar's playing card", reveals the inside story of Wall Street. The other party's major is art history. However, this guy was in the prime of Solomon brothers, and he became a financial best seller after leaving.
Chen Qing has asked this question to some people. She thinks it's very reasonable what Sj? Red Barkley said at an internal party of the company last Christmas. This circle needs a smart mind and hard work, and professional knowledge comes second. As long as you are smart and hard-working, you can learn what you need while doing.Understand these, Chen Qing no longer had the fear.
Smart and diligent, she is not short of, for new knowledge, even if it can't be forgotten, two or three times she can also firmly remember, diligent this, she is also confident that she can surpass most people. Even if others didn't tell her, but her own understanding of the network, just Simon westero this one, she felt that it was enough to explode all the people in the building.
At the appointed time, Chen Qing got up on time and left the office with a stack of materials. Seeing that she didn't call herself, Lin Su behind the desk beside her stopped and didn't follow.
In any case, she doesn't have Chen Qing's strong ambition in her heart.
I was a little distracted just now.
Imagine if someone will continue to be abstinent tonight.
This is the best way.
Well, it doesn't seem very good.
When they came to Leon Black's office, they were not idle people. They gave each other some information they had prepared. Chen Qing gave a brief account of the project and the results of her meeting with Simon.
In 1994, China's VCD shipment was less than 20000 sets.
However, only in January this year, with the wide spread of VCD technology, according to the approximate data obtained by Chen Qing during her stay in China, this number has exceeded 30000 in the first month of the new year, and it is expected to reach more than 500000 in 1995.
Through professional market research, both Chen Qing and Bubugao's team believe that this is just the beginning.
Take the relatively popular video recorders at this stage as an example. By 1994, the number of video recorders in China was about 7 million, which is the best reference.
The lowest price of VCR in China is about 3000 yuan, and the more expensive brands are tens of thousands. That's not the most important thing. The key is video tapes. Generally, the price of video tapes ranges from 20 yuan to 40 yuan, and it's still pirated. It's not affordable for ordinary families. Therefore, many people buy video recorders and use them to run video studios.
Even so, there are 7 million VCRs in China.
Looking at VCD, although the price of VCD in China is still as high as 4000 yuan at the present stage, as long as the market demand increases and mass production is carried out, the price of all kinds of core components will certainly drop rapidly. It is not impossible to achieve the price of 2000 yuan in the end.
The cheapest is VCD.
Compared with the expensive price of 20 yuan to 40 yuan for video tapes, the retail price of VCD discs is less than 10 yuan.
Of course, this refers to piracy.
In fact, we all know that this is the current situation in China. At present, ordinary Chinese people can not afford the high price of legitimate audio-visual resources. The rise of VCD must rely on the cheap pirated content industry chain.
Chen Qing also mentioned this matter in the materials she gave Simon, and she did not hear any objection from her boss who has a huge industry in Hollywood.
This is clearly the default.
Compared with the absolute advantage of video recorders, coupled with the rapid rise of national consumption driven by China's economic growth, Chen Qing believes that the popularity of VCD in China is an irresistible trend, and the market capacity will definitely be higher than that of video recorders.
It's near 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'm very busy recently, but I don't have time to help you with this case. What are you going to do?"
Chen Qing directly handed the A4 paper with several names on one page to Leon Blake: "I know, Leon, I have done enough preliminary work. You just give these people to me and set up an acquisition team."
Leon Blake picked up the A4 page and glanced at it: "Christopher Dorey, I want to promote him to be my assistant at this time, and Emmanuel Brant, the aggressive French girl in Thomas' team, tut, the kick that was made to Chris at the last weekend party, and Nick Mendelson, Lloyd McIntyre Carla hills
At this point, Leon Blake shook his head: "Chen, Simon's arrangement for you is Jared's deputy, and I have agreed that you and the two assistants hired by Lin will be employed. Now, are you going to work alone?"
"Leon, our company has more than 200 employees, I only need five people," said Chen Qing, a clever girl who asked her parents for pocket money
Leon black still shook his head: "but the five people you ask for, well, you should know."
Of course, Chen Qing knows that this is the result of her observation over the past few months. All five of them are under 30 years old. They are all rising stars with huge potential and rising rapidly. No accident, they are very hopeful to become the core backbone of this company in the future. Chen Qing is very clear about her strengths and weaknesses. She is smart enough to work hard, but she lacks enough experience because she has only entered this circle for a short time.
The five people on the list can just make up for her weakness in these aspects.However, in the face of Leon black at this time, Chen Qing certainly won't show it: "Leon, I think there are many outstanding people in our company, they are just five of them, and Simon agrees."
Leon Blake immediately debunked: "Simon agrees that you are in charge of the acquisition, but will not agree that you pull out these five people to form your own team."
Chen Qing immediately took out a smart Nokia mobile phone, shook it at Leon black across the desk, and said, "why don't I call him now?"
When Leon Blake saw Chen Qing push the button, he was really not sure. His boss could only describe the women around him with connivance.
What's more, he doesn't want to stir Simon up because of a small matter and join Apollo management company. In the past half a year, the oriental girl opposite is really good enough. She's not the kind of vase that Simon dotes on. Even he recognizes each other's ability and believes that his boss can also measure it.
If this small matter bothers Simon, it will be even more troublesome if the big boss thinks that he is deliberately making trouble for Chen Qing to get rid of her dissidents.
The case of Heiyan's merger with the asset management department of State Street bank, which was finalized a few days ago, seems to be a big expansion of Heiyan. Leon black is very clear that it is also a blow to Lawrence Fink. He didn't want to be hit like that.
Finally, compromise: "well, Chen, I'll help you choose a few people. As far as Chris's team is concerned, the French girl will also be among them."
Chen Qing saw that Leon Black's tone was loose. She bowed her head and began to press the button: "I think I'd better call Simon."
After a long pause, seeing Chen Qing's fingertips, Leon Blackton finally said, "OK, OK, but I only give you one day to talk with them. If these people don't want to join your team, you can't force them."
Chen Qing immediately put away her mobile phone and looked up with a smile: "deal."
Leon Blake was stunned and soon understood that the girl on the opposite side must have had contact with the five people on the list. Maybe it had been settled. The small threshold he set at the end didn't work at all. He had no choice but to smile and said, "well, you've got it all. I'll have a dinner party soon."
Chen Qing immediately got up and said, "don't disturb you, Leon. Goodbye."
It's true that Chen Qing has already talked ahead of time. After leaving Leon Black's office, Chen Qing began to call her own people. All the five people on the list arrived at the company today. They are all ambitious young people. They all know who is standing behind Chen Qing's two daughters. They also know that as long as they cooperate with Chen Qing's two daughters, it's easy to attract the attention of the big boss. This is the best channel for them to be in the top position. Therefore, Chen Qing's voice After the invitation, they agreed without much hesitation.
In fact, through this period of communication, Chen Qing has more people in her eyes. However, she also knows that only such a small team will not cause the rebound of her boss and company boss.
Otherwise, even if it comes to Simon, Leon black may not agree, and maybe Simon will not.
Moreover, this small class is not small.
In addition to Chen Qing and Lin Su, as well as the five women who have just joined, Chen Qing also employed two talented students as their assistants, one from MIT and the other from Princeton. Both of them have professional degrees related to economy and finance, which can just make up for their lack of professional knowledge.
In addition, Simon's two maids and two female guards, a total of four, have been their assistants for several months. During the new year's trip to China, Chen Qing specially brought the four women back to China.
By calculation, this is already a team of 13 people.
Many Wall Street financial giants did not necessarily have such a scale in their early days.
Moreover, Chen Qing has actually set up her own office in China, employing six people. The office is located in Shanghai, responsible for the communication between China and the United States. The salaries of the six people are paid by two women. It is precisely because of this office that Lin Su did not donate all the salaries in advance when she went back last time.
Chen Qing also suggested that the office should be paid by herself, and their annual salary should 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 didn't want Chen Qing to succeed, so he became their office.
Lunch, mutual introduction, the team in the afternoon began to make the final preparation for the acquisition of Scomber.
In this way, until the evening, I didn't forget the man's advice. The two women were about to leave work at five o'clock and return to their residence on the west side to prepare. Suddenly, they received a call from girl a, and the dinner was cancelled temporarily.
I didn't know the reason. I felt sorry and lost, so I decided to work overtime.
On the other hand, Simon received a call from grace when he was close to work. The woman asked him if he had time to have dinner together, and also said that he could stay out until nine o'clock in the evening. Feeling the cautious expectation in the woman's voice, Simon could not have any idea of refusing.
I made an appointment to dine in my apartment on Fifth Avenue.
Simon came home from work, but grace didn't come alone and brought Bryce Levison with her. After the last incident, the Levinsons were basically separated. Francis Levinson stayed in Miami to deal with company affairs, and Bryce Levinson lived in New York in the name of taking care of her son's studies.Bryce followed grace through the door with a strong sense of reason, and said that her excuse was not in vain.
I can see what's going on.
Instead of the waitress, the three prepared dinner in person. To be exact, there were only Simon and grace. The other one was served from small to large, and could not tell the difference between salt and sugar. When dinner was about to be ready, he volunteered to light a candle and said he wanted to have a candlelight dinner. Simon had to send grace along, worried that Bryce would burn the house down.
The eccentric candlelight dinner for three.
Overall, it's warm.
Chatting about all kinds of things recently, it's more than seven o'clock unconsciously.
Simon's personal cell phone suddenly rings.
After answering, there was an unexpected voice, Irene Lauder. The woman's voice on the phone was very formal. She asked Simon if he wanted to attend a masquerade ball in a circle. The place was a bar in the middle of the city.
Simon can only refuse.
At the dinner table, seeing the man hang up the phone, Bryce looks inquisitive, but Simon doesn't have any explanation.
Grace, however, heard the name "Irene" in Simon's conversation and keenly remembered the reception of the Lauder family last night. She couldn't resist her curiosity and looked at the man with some strange inquiry: "I've been thinking about what a man and a woman can do in ten minutes."
Bryce was at a loss.
Simon is immediately understand, think of last night's absurd, of course, will not tell grace, just smile: "in fact, five minutes is enough, wait for me to show you personally."
Bryce looked left and right, and saw that grace's face was a little more charming under the candlelight. She seemed to understand something. She asked, "are you talking about some yellow jokes that I don't understand?"
Simon nodded: "yes, it's yellow and violent."
The redder grace turned.
Bryce continues to ask, but Simon doesn't explain until after dinner.
Nine o'clock.
Grace refused Simon's request and left on time. Another woman didn't mean to get up from her big bed and accused someone of murder.
I thought it was tonight.
Near ten o'clock, just holding a woman out of the bathroom, cell phone rings again.
It's still Irene Lauder.
The girl's voice drifted away a little, indicating that she was drunk. If Simon didn't go to pick her up, she would let anyone pick her up, and warned not to inform her family, or she would run away from home. It's no joke.
Simon had no choice but to go to the bar in midtown.
The masquerade party is still going on.
He also wears a mask when entering the door. It's easy to find a woman in a corner. Sure enough, she has drunk a lot, but she is not drunk. She looks very clear. Simon remembers that the woman said that because of her family background, she has to attend more than 200 parties every year. Of course, her drinking capacity is not bad.
But he didn't want to go by himself. He would not leave until Simon held him.
I can only hold it.
Shrink in the man's arms and begin to say, accusing a guy is just the devil, make her a devout Jewish girl for more than 20 years into a bad woman in 10 minutes, to compensate.
You don't have to pick another time. Tonight's fine, meat.
I don't want Simon to take her home.
Simon was afraid to take her back to her fifth Avenue apartment.
Bryce's arrogant, grace is OK, another woman appears, may fight.
There are a lot of properties in Manhattan, but they rarely live there. It's very troublesome to pick them up late at night. In the end, we can only call for a helicopter to go to the manor in the northern suburb of Greenwich.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Chen Qing and her two daughters left Simon's office and rushed to cersei capital headquarters, also located at 1230 building of Rockefeller Center.
Apollo management's floor did not seem deserted because of Sunday, and there were still people coming and going between the various office areas.
Chen Qing knows that Apollo management is promoting the acquisition of UCAR international, a graphite electrode manufacturer, recently, involving more than US $1 billion.
UCAR is not a graphite electrode in battery, but a peripheral product of iron and steel industry, which is used for heating the internal of electric furnace steel.

In addition to Chen Qing and Lin Su, as well as the five women who have just joined, Chen Qing also employed two talented students as their assistants, one from MIT and the other from Princeton. Both of them have professional degrees related to economy and finance, which can just make up for their lack of professional knowledge.
In addition, Simon's two maids and two female guards, a total of four, have been their assistants for several months. During the new year's trip to China, Chen Qing specially brought the four women back to China.
By calculation, this is already a team of 13 people.
Many Wall Street financial giants did not necessarily have such a scale in their early days.
Moreover, Chen Qing has actually set up her own office in China, employing six people. The office is located in Shanghai, responsible for the communication between China and the United States. The salaries of the six people are paid by two women. It is precisely because of this office that Lin Su did not donate all the salaries in advance when she went back last time.
Chen Qing also suggested that the office should be paid by herself, and their annual salary should 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 didn't want Chen Qing to succeed, so he became their office.
Lunch, mutual introduction, the team in the afternoon began to make the final preparation for the acquisition of Scomber.
In this way, until the evening, I didn't forget the man's advice. The two women were about to leave work at five o'clock and return to their residence on the west side to prepare. Suddenly, they received a call from girl a, and the dinner was cancelled temporarily.
I didn't know the reason. I felt sorry and lost, so I decided to work overtime.
On the other hand, Simon received a call from grace when he was close to work. The woman asked him if he had time to have dinner together, and also said that he could stay out until nine o'clock in the evening. Feeling the cautious expectation in the woman's voice, Simon could not have any idea of refusing.
I made an appointment to dine in my apartment on Fifth Avenue.
Simon came home from work, but grace didn't come alone and brought Bryce Levison with her. After the last incident, the Levinsons were basically separated. Francis Levinson stayed in Miami to deal with company affairs, and Bryce Levinson lived in New York in the name of taking care of her son's studies.Bryce followed grace through the door with a strong sense of reason, and said that her excuse was not in vain.
I can see what's going on.
Instead of the waitress, the three prepared dinner in person. To be exact, there were only Simon and grace. The other one was served from small to large, and could not tell the difference between salt and sugar. When dinner was about to be ready, he volunteered to light a candle and said he wanted to have a candlelight dinner. Simon had to send grace along, worried that Bryce would burn the house down.
The eccentric candlelight dinner for three.
Overall, it's warm.
Chatting about all kinds of things recently, it's more than seven o'clock unconsciously.
Simon's personal cell phone suddenly rings.
After answering, there was an unexpected voice, Irene Lauder. The woman's voice on the phone was very formal. She asked Simon if he wanted to attend a masquerade ball in a circle. The place was a bar in the middle of the city.
Simon can only refuse.
At the dinner table, seeing the man hang up the phone, Bryce looks inquisitive, but Simon doesn't have any explanation.
Grace, however, heard the name "Irene" in Simon's conversation and keenly remembered the reception of the Lauder family last night. She couldn't resist her curiosity and looked at the man with some strange inquiry: "I've been thinking about what a man and a woman can do in ten minutes."
Bryce was at a loss.
Simon is immediately understand, think of last night's absurd, of course, will not tell grace, just smile: "in fact, five minutes is enough, wait for me to show you personally."
Bryce looked left and right, and saw that grace's face was a little more charming under the candlelight. She seemed to understand something. She asked, "are you talking about some yellow jokes that I don't understand?"
Simon nodded: "yes, it's yellow and violent."
The redder grace turned.
Bryce continues to ask, but Simon doesn't explain until after dinner.
Nine o'clock.
Grace refused Simon's request and left on time. Another woman didn't mean to get up from her big bed and accused someone of murder.
I thought it was tonight.
Near ten o'clock, just holding a woman out of the bathroom, cell phone rings again.
It's still Irene Lauder.
The girl's voice drifted away a little, indicating that she was drunk. If Simon didn't go to pick her up, she would let anyone pick her up, and warned not to inform her family, or she would run away from home. It's no joke.
Simon had no choice but to go to the bar in midtown.
The masquerade party is still going on.
He also wears a mask when entering the door. It's easy to find a woman in a corner. Sure enough, she has drunk a lot, but she is not drunk. She looks very clear. Simon remembers that the woman said that because of her family background, she has to attend more than 200 parties every year. Of course, her drinking capacity is not bad.
But he didn't want to go by himself. He would not leave until Simon held him.
I can only hold it.
Shrink in the man's arms and begin to say, accusing a guy is just the devil, make her a devout Jewish girl for more than 20 years into a bad woman in 10 minutes, to compensate.
You don't have to pick another time. Tonight's fine, meat.
I don't want Simon to take her home.
Simon was afraid to take her back to her fifth Avenue apartment.
Bryce's arrogant, grace is OK, another woman appears, may fight.
There are a lot of properties in Manhattan, but they rarely live there. It's very troublesome to pick them up late at night. In the end, we can only call for a helicopter to go to the manor in the northern suburb of Greenwich.
Chen Qing and her two daughters left Simon's office and rushed to cersei capital headquarters, also located at 1230 building of Rockefeller Center. Apollo management's floor did not seem deserted because of Sunday, and there were still people coming and going between the various office areas. Chen Qing knows that Apollo management is promoting the acquisition of UCAR international, a graphite electrode manufacturer, recently, involving more than US $1 billion. UCAR is not a graphite electrode in battery, but a peripheral product of iron and steel industry, which is used for heating the internal of electric furnace steel. Because this kind of graphite electrode needs to contact with iron and steel solution with high temperature of more than 2000 for a long time, it needs to be replaced frequently, and it is just a consumable. Moreover, there are only two such manufacturers in the world, and the other is the German SGL Group. In the past few years, due to the global economic downturn, the steel industry has entered a low period, and the demand for graphite electrodes has also decreased significantly. Apollo management company launched the acquisition of UCAR company at this time, which is obviously optimistic about the prospects of the world economy. Chen Qing thinks that there are probably Chinese factors among them. China's rapid economic growth in recent years is obvious to all. Moreover, China's demand for iron and steel continues to increase significantly because it attaches great importance to infrastructure construction. In the first two months, Chen Qing returned to China. Because of her special attention, she found that Australia's BHP group had invested US $500 million in capital, technology and equipment into a large iron and steel enterprise in Jiangsu Province, obtaining 30% of the shares, and would become the only iron ore raw material supplier of this large iron and steel giant in the next 10 years. In addition, bituo group also spent another 200 million US dollars on the widening construction of Lianyungang wharf, a large seaport in Jiangsu Province. The total investment of US $700 million, equivalent to RMB 6 billion at the current exchange rate, shows that westero 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 enterprises in the westero system seem to be unrelated, but in fact they are inextricably linked. Like Apollo management company, many projects invested by this enterprise, such as fashion, real estate, science and technology, can be regarded as the familiar strengths of the westero system. On the other hand, it is probably because of the large-scale investment of westero system in China. During their return to China, someone specially found them and hoped that the two women would invite Simon to pay a public visit to China. Obviously, as long as our boss agrees, a formal invitation from Chinese officials will be sent immediately. It's a pity that someone is not interested in it. Back in their internal office of Apollo management company, Chen Qing immediately called Leon black. Her direct supervisor is Jared Barkley, who is in charge of China business. However, scober is an American company. If she wants to launch an acquisition, it's better to have a direct interview with Leon black, CEO of Apollo management company. Black's secretary on the other side of the line said that the boss was meeting guests and would not have time until an hour later. Chen Qing is not in a hurry. She makes an appointment to sit in the office she shares with Lin Su and start to read the information about the VCD industry and scopper again. Originally joined cerxi capital, Chen Qing was full of awe for the Wall Street giant. Even though she was very confident on the surface, she was only emboldening herself. She was only an English major graduate from China. Her knowledge of Wall Street was limited to books and a small amount of hearsay. Therefore, she was still very worried that she would screw up. However, after half a year of familiarity, Chen Qing gradually put her heart down. First of all, Chen Qing did not make a mistake. Wall Street is really a place with fierce competition, and it has gathered a large number of top smart people from all over the world. The circle is also full of intrigue and the law of the jungle. Therefore, as long as you don't work hard, you can be far away from others in the twinkling of an eye. This can be seen from the fact that the company's headquarters are still overcrowded today and Sunday. Of course, you can rest according to the rules. However, maybe when you come back from work, there is no place for you. Secondly, Chen Qing made another mistake. Wall Street does not have to be graduates of economics and finance to enter. The threshold of this circle is even very low. A lot of Wall Street tycoons who are brilliant in this circle, only a few of them majored in economics and finance when they were in college, just like Lawrence Fink, CEO of black rock asset management company, who was studying political science in USC, Leon Blake, CEO of Apollo management company, who got a degree in philosophy from Princeton University, and Chen Qing who just finished that book recently Michael Lewis, the author of "the liar's playing card", reveals the inside story of Wall Street. The other party's major is art history. However, this guy was in the prime of Solomon brothers, and he became a financial best seller after leaving. Chen Qing has asked this question to some people. She thinks it's very reasonable what Sj? Red Barkley said at an internal party of the company last Christmas. This circle needs a smart mind and hard work, and professional knowledge comes second. As long as you are smart and hard-working, you can learn what you need while doing.Understand these, Chen Qing no longer had the fear. Smart and diligent, she is not short of, for new knowledge, even if it can't be forgotten, two or three times she can also firmly remember, diligent this, she is also confident that she can surpass most people. Even if others didn't tell her, but her own understanding of the network, just Simon westero this one, she felt that it was enough to explode all the people in the building. At the appointed time, Chen Qing got up on time and left the office with a stack of materials. Seeing that she didn't call herself, Lin Su behind the desk beside her stopped and didn't follow. In any case, she doesn't have Chen Qing's strong ambition in her heart. I was a little distracted just now. Imagine if someone will continue to be abstinent tonight. This is the best way. Well, it doesn't seem very good. When they came to Leon Black's office, they were not idle people. They gave each other some information they had prepared. Chen Qing gave a brief account of the project and the results of her meeting with Simon. In 1994, China's VCD shipment was less than 20000 sets. However, only in January this year, with the wide spread of VCD technology, according to the approximate data obtained by Chen Qing during her stay in China, this number has exceeded 30000 in the first month of the new year, and it is expected to reach more than 500000 in 1995. Through professional market research, both Chen Qing and Bubugao's team believe that this is just the beginning. Take the relatively popular video recorders at this stage as an example. By 1994, the number of video recorders in China was about 7 million, which is the best reference. The lowest price of VCR in China is about 3000 yuan, and the more expensive brands are tens of thousands. That's not the most important thing. The key is video tapes. Generally, the price of video tapes ranges from 20 yuan to 40 yuan, and it's still pirated. It's not affordable for ordinary families. Therefore, many people buy video recorders and use them to run video studios. Even so, there are 7 million VCRs in China. Looking at VCD, although the price of VCD in China is still as high as 4000 yuan at the present stage, as long as the market demand increases and mass production is carried out, the price of all kinds of core components will certainly drop rapidly. It is not impossible to achieve the price of 2000 yuan in the end. The cheapest is VCD. Compared with the expensive price of 20 yuan to 40 yuan for video tapes, the retail price of VCD discs is less than 10 yuan. Of course, this refers to piracy. In fact, we all know that this is the current situation in China. At present, ordinary Chinese people can not afford the high price of legitimate audio-visual resources. The rise of VCD must rely on the cheap pirated content industry chain. Chen Qing also mentioned this matter in the materials she gave Simon, and she did not hear any objection from her boss who has a huge industry in Hollywood. This is clearly the default. Compared with the absolute advantage of video recorders, coupled with the rapid rise of national consumption driven by China's economic growth, Chen Qing believes that the popularity of VCD in China is an irresistible trend, and the market capacity will definitely be higher than that of video recorders. It's near 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'm very busy recently, but I don't have time to help you with this case. What are you going to do?" Chen Qing directly handed the A4 paper with several names on one page to Leon Blake: "I know, Leon, I have done enough preliminary work. You just give these people to me and set up an acquisition team." Leon Blake picked up the A4 page and glanced at it: "Christopher Dorey, I want to promote him to be my assistant at this time, and Emmanuel Brant, the aggressive French girl in Thomas' team, tut, the kick that was made to Chris at the last weekend party, and Nick Mendelson, Lloyd McIntyre Carla hills At this point, Leon Blake shook his head: "Chen, Simon's arrangement for you is Jared's deputy, and I have agreed that you and the two assistants hired by Lin will be employed. Now, are you going to work alone?" "Leon, our company has more than 200 employees, I only need five people," said Chen Qing, a clever girl who asked her parents for pocket money Leon black still shook his head: "but the five people you ask for, well, you should know." Of course, Chen Qing knows that this is the result of her observation over the past few months. All five of them are under 30 years old. They are all rising stars with huge potential and rising rapidly. No accident, they are very hopeful to become the core backbone of this company in the future. Chen Qing is very clear about her strengths and weaknesses. She is smart enough to work hard, but she lacks enough experience because she has only entered this circle for a short time. The five people on the list can just make up for her weakness in these aspects.However, in the face of Leon black at this time, Chen Qing certainly won't show it: "Leon, I think there are many outstanding people in our company, they are just five of them, and Simon agrees." Leon Blake immediately debunked: "Simon agrees that you are in charge of the acquisition, but will not agree that you pull out these five people to form your own team." Chen Qing immediately took out a smart Nokia mobile phone, shook it at Leon black across the desk, and said, "why don't I call him now?" When Leon Blake saw Chen Qing push the button, he was really not sure. His boss could only describe the women around him with connivance. What's more, he doesn't want to stir Simon up because of a small matter and join Apollo management company. In the past half a year, the oriental girl opposite is really good enough. She's not the kind of vase that Simon dotes on. Even he recognizes each other's ability and believes that his boss can also measure it. If this small matter bothers Simon, it will be even more troublesome if the big boss thinks that he is deliberately making trouble for Chen Qing to get rid of her dissidents. The case of Heiyan's merger with the asset management department of State Street bank, which was finalized a few days ago, seems to be a big expansion of Heiyan. Leon black is very clear that it is also a blow to Lawrence Fink. He didn't want to be hit like that. Finally, compromise: "well, Chen, I'll help you choose a few people. As far as Chris's team is concerned, the French girl will also be among them." Chen Qing saw that Leon Black's tone was loose. She bowed her head and began to press the button: "I think I'd better call Simon." After a long pause, seeing Chen Qing's fingertips, Leon Blackton finally said, "OK, OK, but I only give you one day to talk with them. If these people don't want to join your team, you can't force them." Chen Qing immediately put away her mobile phone and looked up with a smile: "deal." Leon Blake was stunned and soon understood that the girl on the opposite side must have had contact with the five people on the list. Maybe it had been settled. The small threshold he set at the end didn't work at all. He had no choice but to smile and said, "well, you've got it all. I'll have a dinner party soon." Chen Qing immediately got up and said, "don't disturb you, Leon. Goodbye." It's true that Chen Qing has already talked ahead of time. After leaving Leon Black's office, Chen Qing began to call her own people. All the five people on the list arrived at the company today. They are all ambitious young people. They all know who is standing behind Chen Qing's two daughters. They also know that as long as they cooperate with Chen Qing's two daughters, it's easy to attract the attention of the big boss. This is the best channel for them to be in the top position. Therefore, Chen Qing's voice After the invitation, they agreed without much hesitation. In fact, through this period of communication, Chen Qing has more people in her eyes. However, she also knows that only such a small team will not cause the rebound of her boss and company boss. Otherwise, even if it comes to Simon, Leon black may not agree, and maybe Simon will not. Moreover, this small class is not small. In addition to Chen Qing and Lin Su, as well as the five women who have just joined, Chen Qing also employed two talented students as their assistants, one from MIT and the other from Princeton. Both of them have professional degrees related to economy and finance, which can just make up for their lack of professional knowledge. In addition, Simon's two maids and two female guards, a total of four, have been their assistants for several months. During the new year's trip to China, Chen Qing specially brought the four women back to China. By calculation, this is already a team of 13 people.

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 didn't want Chen Qing to succeed, so he became their office. Lunch, mutual introduction, the team in the afternoon began to make the final preparation for the acquisition of Scomber. In this way, until the evening, I didn't forget the man's advice. The two women were about to leave work at five o'clock and return to their residence on the west side to prepare. Suddenly, they received a call from girl a, and the dinner was cancelled temporarily.

Shrink in the man's arms and begin to say, accusing a guy is just the devil, make her a devout Jewish girl for more than 20 years into a bad woman in 10 minutes, to compensate. You don't have to pick another time. Tonight's fine, meat. I don't want Simon to take her home. Simon was afraid to take her back to her fifth Avenue apartment. Bryce's arrogant, grace is OK, another woman appears, may fight. There are a lot of properties in Manhattan, but they rarely live there. It's very troublesome to pick them up late at night. In the end, we can only call for a helicopter to go to the manor in the northern suburb of Greenwich.
