Chapter 1017 In China (1)
Hong Kong, China's first investment bank, CICC, is located in the headquarters conference room of Central Plaza. The meeting lasted for an hour and a half just ended.
It was already Thursday, August 28th.
This is a meeting with only a dozen participants, but the specifications are very high, because the content of this meeting is to discuss matters about the introduction of cornerstone investors by China Telecom's Hong Kong listing. The so-called cornerstone investors are to determine some highly credible investment institutions in advance before listing an IPO, famous companies or super rich people as guaranteed subscribers, in order to further strengthen market confidence.
In this meeting that just ended, most of the participants were potential cornerstone investors for China Telecom's overseas listing. It can be said that Chinese businessmen who are familiar with the Chinese authorities in Southeast Asia are basically here.
Therefore, among a group of middle-aged and elderly men, Chen Qing and Lin Su, who have outstanding appearance and temperament, look quite eye-catching. The two women participated in the meeting as direct personal representatives of Simon, and Westeros will also participate in the early subscription as cornerstone investors.
Compared with the Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia, the name "Westero" is actually enough to support the cornerstone investor role of this IPO, both in terms of credibility and capital strength. However, Simon did not have the idea of completely monopolizing this role.
Whether it is meat or soup, sharing it together is the king.
Of course, after all, the size is here. Compared with the total subscription amount of US$1 billion that CICC has summoned by China Business Network, Westeros alone has taken out US$500 million.
According to the listing plan that has been basically determined at present, the total financing amount of China Telecom IPO, which was listed by the end of the year, is about US$5 billion. Now, the IPO plan is still in progress, and the subscription share of US$1.5 billion has been determined directly. Moreover, the subscribers have strong international appeal, and basically it has locked in this IPO.
After the meeting, everyone stood up one after another. As a junior, Chen Lin and his two girls were originally planning to fall behind, but they didn't expect a group of middle-aged and elderly men to take the initiative to slow down. When the two girls walked in, one of them invited him in Mandarin: "Xiaolin, do you have time tonight? Zheng Sheng has a cocktail party in Repulse Bay tonight. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."
Lin Su felt the friendly tone of the tall and thin boss wearing glasses, instinctively discomfort and declined, "Sorry, Mr. Li, Chen and I are about to return to the mainland."
"Oh, then next time I have a chance."
As the other party said that, not only did not feel displeased at all, they also took the initiative to draw out a business card and handed it over. Lin Su took it politely and exchanged business cards with other bigwigs.
After several minutes of greeting, the two women were able to escape. Accompanied by four maids and guards, they got downstairs and got into the car. Looking at Chen Qing, who had just been following the class, was sitting beside her and forced her handbag to check her business card, she glared at her weakly: "Since you are more interested in these, why should you push me out?"
Chen Qing smiled like a little fox, and she stuffed a stack of business cards into her bag without hesitation, and then said, "Because I want to be the mastermind."
Lin Su was speechless, and inexplicably thought of someone again, and said, "You... knew to bully me."
As he said this, the car had just left the parking lot of the building. Lily Farville, who was in the front co-pilot, felt something. He took out a vibrating mobile phone from his bag and handed it to Lin Su: "Lin, your father's phone number, he had called once when you and Chen were having a meeting."
Lin Su subconsciously raised her hand, shrank again, and finally took the phone over and pressed the answer button: "Dad... Yes, I'm still here... Go back soon, well, I mean, Xiaoqing and I are going to Beijing... Fake, I don't have 500 million US dollars... No matter how authoritative the magazine is, it will make mistakes. Dad, don't listen to others' nonsense, okay... I'm sure, I'll go back to the United States for a few days in Beijing... Dad, he is the boss of my boss, I don't know how high it is, I won't see others for a few months... Okay, I'm going to get on the plane, it's like this for the time being."
After saying this, Lin Su hung up the phone directly. Seeing that Chen Qing was still watching the fun, she threw the Nokia over: "Give it to you, give it to you."
Chen Qing took the phone with a smile and joked: "You are quite smooth when you lie."
Lin Su glared at her: "When did I lie?"
Chen Qing blinked and nodded: "Yes, yes, you didn't lie at all. You really didn't have $500 million. Now you only have $410 million in cash in your account. Other companies' shares, etc., together, should be more than $500 million, and you really didn't lie."
“…”
After Simon's proposal last time, the two women had cashed out their 2.65% shares of Scooper. With the continuous explosion of China's VCD industry and the halo of Westeros concept stocks, even according to the closing data on August 16, Scooper's market value had reached US$19.1 billion at that time.
2.65% of the shares, or $506 million.
Therefore, if the two women did not cash out, the statistics on the Forbes list did not have much deviation.
As for why Lin Su had only US$410 million on the book at this time, it was mainly because it was impossible for him to choose a high point like August 16 during the cash out process. Moreover, the money has not been filed yet. If the 15% capital gains tax needs to be paid, there will be only US$350 million left.
In any case, a woman who has immigrated to the United States for only two years has such a cash on her personal account. Even Lin Su herself is at a loss now. What she didn't expect was that her partner and a hateful man actually joined forces to secretly push her onto this year's Forbes US 400 Rich Rich List, which was directly on the surface.
Seeing Lin Su's vague appearance, Chen Qing was about to continue saying something, but she remembered the phone she had just received again, and without thinking about it, she helped to answer it: "Hey... Oh, Minister Wu, I am Xiao Chen... Asu, she is asleep, she is a little tired these days, do you need me to call her... Oh, that's fine... Yes, the meeting just ended, we are rushing to the airport... Tomorrow morning... No problem, well, when she wakes up, I will tell her, that's it."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Qing saw Lin Su looking over and said, "Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, I hope we... well, no, it's Miss Lin. I'll be able to attend a seminar on China's information industry tomorrow morning. I've agreed to you."
“…”
Chen Qing blinked again: "Why, I'll go for you?"
Lin Su glared at her: "I don't plan to take you."
Chen Qing immediately took it wrongly: "Asu, how could you treat me like this..."
Lin Su, who was furry all over her body, raised her hand and slapped her on the spine a few times.
Chen Qing was not angry after being beaten, but couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems like I've been a little wrong. If I had known it, I would have stood up myself."
"You only understand now?"
"I'm kidding with you," Chen Qing immediately changed his tone: "I don't plan to show this kind of limelight, well, Asu... OK, Susu... Oh, don't beat me anymore. I mean, I will be your assistant in the future, so you can stay in the mansion and be a young grandma. I will try my best to help you with other things."
Lin Su hit her again in a suffocation, thought for a while, and said, "By the way, in the media, I mean, I don't want to cause a lot of controversy in China."
"Don't worry, I've already done it in advance. This matter will definitely not appear in the public media."
Lin Su immediately asked again: "What about privately, why did my father suddenly know?"
Chen Qing smiled and said, "You must know what you should know."
Lin Su curled her lips and wanted to say something, but she didn't speak out.
Chen Qing waited for her to calm down for a moment before saying again: "Oh."
"Um?"
"Your money will be more than I can help you."
Lin Suddhu paused and said, "I want to ask him for his opinion."
"What can the boss have? Do you think he likes your little money? We men have $1.5 trillion."
Lin Su ignored the title "we men" in Chen Qing's words, but did not say more.
Although... such a huge amount of funds lay on her account, deep down, Lin Su always felt that she was just helping him with some funds. After all, since she was a child, she never thought that she would have such money one day and become a billionaire or something.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Chen Qing suddenly thought of another thing: "By the way, I can tell you that you are not allowed to pick up and donate it as you used to."
Lin Su just gave her a blank look.
In the past two years, Lin Su has donated a lot of money to various public welfare and charity organizations in China, but it is basically just her salary. As for the money in her hand, for some reason, she did not intend to use it indiscriminately, and even thought that she should give it back to him. After all, the money was too much and she felt that she could not bear it.
After Chen Qing finished speaking, she pointed to Lin Su's expression and felt relieved. She leaned on the leather chair and mentioned the meeting she had just participated. She couldn't help but say, "The boss is a little wrong this time. If we didn't subscribe in the name of Westeros, but chose a third party as a medium, maybe we could get a lower discount."
As a cornerstone investor, he often has to bear higher risks, and at the same time, he will naturally enjoy corresponding discounts.
Of course, this part of the offer is generally not on the surface.
When Lin Su heard Chen Qing's words, she turned her head and looked over, subconsciously wanted to say something, paused, and then fell silent.
Chen Qing naturally noticed Lin Su's expression and curled her lips slightly.
Arriving at the airport, boarded the Gulfstream V, which almost became a private car for two women, and departed from Hong Kong. In the evening of that day, the plane landed at the Capital Airport. The two women took a car to Simon's Siheyuan in Nanluoguxiang.
However, at this time, there were no longer only two residents, Chen Lin, in the Sihe Courtyard.
Zhu Momo and his group arrived a few days ago. Chen Qing, who also took care of Simon's various property managers in China, personally arranged a group of women here, which was considered as low-eye.
So, at this time, there were five more people in the courtyard, including Zhu Momoga Zhao Annie Gagil Pector, and Li Youhu’s disciple. Of course, the courtyard with the same garden area of five is still more than 5 people, even if it doubles, it is still more than enough.
Speaking of which, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is scheduled to start filming in late September. Li Youhu and his friends were already in the group, but because the crew is still in the final preparation stage and has not started to assemble, the team led by Ang Lee has determined that it will start filming some shots in Beijing now, so a few women came to the capital and stayed temporarily.
When the filming officially starts, the country will start to travel around the country.
Compared to China, as a member of 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 the Central Academy of Drama class all day long. When they saw Chen Qing and the other two, they were the ones who were most touched by Jill Pector. Although this waitress didn't know that Chen Qing took her out, for Lin Su, with the release of the new year's 400 American Rich List, she quickly learned about it.
Although, the C girl who directly entered the top ten of the list this year is Jill Pector's ultimate goal, the C girl with a net worth of more than $20 billion is actually a bit far away. Even B, C, D and Jill Pector understands that he probably has no hope of catching up.
But for Lin Su, this woman who ranked 387th on the list this year, Jill thought she could still catch up.
No matter what they thought, since they met each other, they were very enthusiastic. After a long greeting, they came to the inner courtyard. Chen Qinglin Su and the other two lived in the west wing. Zhu Momo and others lived in the east wing. No one lived in the main room, and no one asked to move in. After all, the place was a man's by default.
They can only go in at night unless the other party arrives.
We had dinner together in the big restaurant in Siheyuan, which was finally the first time we had a fight.
Well... Teacher Yu and Li Youhu, who were just eaten by someone a few days ago, always felt that they had not entered a certain circle yet, so they could only watch a little.
"I have read the script, and it's a very interesting story," at the dining table, compared to the quiet Lin Su, Chen Qing naturally took the initiative in the confrontation: "However, at this stage, there is basically no film industry in China, including "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" with the fox. This is actually a good movie, so Momo, you don't have to worry about it at all."
