Chapter 72 Untitled
After attending the cocktail party in Washington, Lee Kaiyuan returned to Hong Kong very much, while Chen Chong went to New York to continue to tinker with various investment and money-making transactions. This did not lose interest in movies as the outside world speculated, but because he was too fond of movies, he had to hide in the United States and force himself to pause his actions in the film circle, so that Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland had time to digest the various impacts he had caused in 1980. The film circle in 1980 was like a small pond, and he was a big whale. With a slight movement, he could stir up the waves. If he didn't stop for a while, the small fish and shrimp would die sooner or later.
A medium-investment "Die Hard" shocked the entire industrial system. If there is another big investment, how will the Academy Award be opened next year? If Oriental Charm has all the awards, what is the significance of the Academy Award?
The growth of talents takes time, the cultivation of the market also takes time, and the opening of the mainland requires even more time. Therefore, Chen Chong can only tie his hands and destroy his martial arts, and make trouble in the United States. In 1980, the United States' GDP exceeded 3 trillion US dollars, and it was huge in size. You can do it at will, without worrying about the life or death of others, nor worrying about the butterfly effect fan being too powerful.
On Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, there is a skyscraper called Olympics. It was built in 1976 and was developed by Greek ship king Aristotle Onassis. It is designed by the famous SOM firm. It is 189 meters high, 51 floors, commercial ground floor, middle-floor office, and high-floor residential building. It can be seen from the view that St. Patrick's Cathedral and Rockefeller Center are one of the most sought-after comprehensive high-end properties in New York.
Chen Chong bought a sea view villa in Los Angeles last year, and also bought a viewing house here as a place to settle on the East Coast of the United States. However, he traveled in a hurry, ran around the world, and rarely moved in, so he was very deserted. It was not until he came here in September and lived there for two months that the empty mansion became a bit human.
"Mr. Chen, you can have a meal."
"Okay, I'll come right away."
Chen Chong stuffed a few folders into the drawer, then stood up and walked out of the study. He saw four dishes and one soup on the dining table in the living room, which were all full of color, fragrance and taste. So he smiled and said, "Miss Xiaoyue is so skillful. Fortunately, you are here these days, otherwise I would starve to death in New York."
A few months ago, the Chinese government sent a group of elites from various industries to the United States to learn advanced knowledge. Wu Xiaoyue should have gone to the University of Chicago to study economics, but she used her relationship to transfer to Columbia University in New York. She used her spare time to intern at Shen Chong's private investment company to accumulate work experience. The office of the private investment company is also in this building. Wu Xiaoyue sometimes comes to help cook after get off work.
"I only know how to cook some home-cooked dishes. If Mr. Chen is tired of eating, I will be out of my way."
"In a foreign country, the food in my hometown is the most delicious. I can eat it for several months even with tomatoes and eggs." Chen Chong took a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and poured the wine and said, "Sister Xiaoyue, don't be so polite. After work, we are friends. Wu Ziming and I are brothers. You are his sister. Just call me Xiao Shen or A Chong."
Wu Xiaoyue just smiled implicitly and did not respond.
"Sister Xiaoyue is still used to living in New York?"
"It's okay, I like it here very much. My life and work are very fast. I have endless work every day, unlike in China who are confused and doing nothing all day long."
"I heard that the country sent you to the United States for two years this time. Do you plan to stay in the United States or return to China in two years? If you want to stay in the United States, I can make arrangements for you."
"No, I'm going to return to China to develop in two years."
Her firm and decisive answer surprised Chen Chong, "I heard from Ningning that Sister Xiaoyue not only resigned in order to come to the United States, but also divorced her marriage. I thought you were planning to immigrate to the United States."
"Ning Ning is such a gossip. Even such trivial matters have been told to you." Wu Xiaoyue smiled with a little self-deprecating smile and explained: "I resigned because I couldn't stand the bullshit activities in my unit, and divorce because I couldn't stand the dumb men who only play with birds and walk their dogs every day, and it had nothing to do with immigration."
"Why did Sister Xiaoyue return to China? The conditions in the United States are better than those in China. I heard that many people in China plan to immigrate."
"If you only want to live a good life, it is really good to stay in the United States, but in addition to life, I also want to do some business. The social environment in the United States is too stable, and there is racial discrimination, and there is limited room for development. There are many things to do in China. Mr. Chen, aren't you also going to the mainland to come to the United States more?"
interesting……
This is a very ambitious and very insightful woman...
"What major things are Sister Xiaoyue going to do when she returns to China?"
"I don't know yet." Wu Xiaoyue picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Why would Mr. Chen teach me? The gap between China and the United States is too big. I haven't heard of many things before. I have been in the United States for almost half a year, and now I haven't even found the basic research direction."
Wu Xiaoyue's appearance is very handsome. In the words of the ancients, her face is like a silver plate and her eyes are like water apricots. When she smiles, she is full of roundness and grace that only mature women have. She has a dignified but seductive style that made Chen Chong's heart jump. He took a sip of slightly cool wine, and then said: "I think with the deepening of reform and opening up, many state-owned enterprises in China may go bankrupt or reorganize. You might as well pay more attention to the knowledge of corporate mergers and acquisitions and asset reorganizations."
"I also have ideas about this. Last time Mr. Chen was at Boeing, he mentioned the acquisition and restructuring of Kaiser Industrial Group. I wonder if I can let me see it?"
"Kaiser Industry has basically settled, and now there are only some irrelevant finishing work left. Why not do this? I am preparing a new acquisition plan recently. If you are interested, you can participate in the entire process. I think this acquisition may be more valuable for reference."
"Is that true, what are you going to acquire this time?"
"Eat first, after dinner, I'll take you to a movie and explain while watching."
"What movie?"
"The Gate of Heaven, a new work by Michael Simino, the best director of Oscar last year, is said to have invested $35 million and was released a few days ago."
