American Fortune Life
Chapter 874 Davos and AS365
The news in the major newspapers on 20 January 2008 broke the hearts of the global stock market over those two days.
When will the subprime mortgage crisis end?
How can market adjustment opportunities be found in the downturn?
Worries about the recession in the US...
Global stock markets have been in a "bloody storm” for the past two days, and as Citibank's financial statements came out, global stock markets have fallen continuously.
The subprime crisis continues to spread and worsen, and the world will not only end the "beauty of the good times” of high economic growth, but may even face severe deflation and recession. It can be seen that the global stock market shock caused by Citigroup's huge losses is not the result of the interlocking effect of the stock market alone.
“Boss, when did you start attending the Davos Forum on the 24th?” Al looked at the young boss who was putting Tory Black's tie on and asked helplessly.
“Number 23, I'll meet you directly from London at Worth, and on the 22nd night, I'm going to watch the Hot Spurs match Arsenal's Cup match... ”
Andy didn't know much about the Davos Forum, a summit where the global political and business community, JING, gathered together. After understanding it, he felt that it was an excellent stage for self-demonstration, but it wasn't that mysterious and climbing.
To participate in the Davos Summit Forum, first and foremost to become a member of the Forum, a contribution of $50,000 is required annually.
Of course, it's not easy to pay $50,000 a year to be a member of the Davos Forum, and companies that can be members must be big enough to be international xing companies and have a leadership role in the industry.
To become a member, either you apply for the form on your own initiative, or the platform invites you on its own initiative. If the platform invites you, then congratulations because the platform sees you, you just click "Agree” for a minute to become a member.
And if you applied on your own initiative, wait in line, wait for the platform to investigate whether your condition meets the requirements, and then decide whether to agree or decline.
By the same token, if the Davos Forum feels that a business is proactive in sending invitations to become a member, it is likely that those who apply on their own will wait longer and not necessarily be able to pass.
Andy's Gaia company naturally received an invitation before joining. For the Davos Forum invitation, he was still going. After all, it was a good platform to dress up and get to know the global business world Jing Ying.
Although the Davos Annual Meeting only invites more than 2,000 people to a group meeting each year, the total number of people who actually arrive in Worth Town is tens of thousands easily. Those who go there at their own expense are trying to slow down the meeting, find a way to squat to meet some people to talk about a business contract or something, and of course, many important meetings cannot go.
Andy thought of some of the Forum's topics and felt a little bit of a laugh. You said that you, an unofficial organization, were completely at the heart of the United Nations and could say anything hot on the planet, such as the Middle East War, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the refugee crisis, assistance to Africa, environmental pollution, climate change, etc., would all be talked about, giving people a sense of both a salty and hearty radish.
Alvitelli didn't care about Big Boss Ren Xing, after all, the Davos Forum held for a week, “Our people have flown to California to visit Tesla, and if the asset reconciliation is OK, Tesla will officially become the boss of your industry when Davos is finished. ”
“Well, good. Have you contacted Martin Alberhard? Is he willing to go back to work?” Andy still values Tesla's founder's technical and R&D capabilities, which are really good, although he's a little sickening in terms of cost control and the speed at which R&D burns money.
“He said he needed to think about it. It's really easy to get him back to the company. After you go back to California, invite him for a meal and talk. The key is still a decent question. After all, he was kicked out of the company by Musk. He needs a step to continue to lead the R&D team. ”
When he heard Al, Andy nodded softly and said, "No problem, as long as he was useful, it would be okay for me to go to the door more than once, but the CEO would have nothing to do with him. He should focus on his research. Financial management is a disaster. ”
“Well, boss, that's all right. ”
“Don't be late for the football game this afternoon.” Andy ordered, but given the level of attention to the game, the water outside the Metropolitan Stadium is bound to be impenetrable to New York fans.
“Well, why don't you meet me here this afternoon and we'll do a helicopter. My Airbus helicopter AS365 hasn't been on since it arrived. It cost me $12 million. Let's try it together this afternoon. ”
“Oh, okay, thank you, boss.” Alvitelli knew that his boss had ordered three of these helicopters this time, placed in New York, Los Angeles and Montana Farms, and chose to go public for over 30 years, and the low failure rate Airbus AS365 Upgraded Deluxe Custom Edition, and heard that many interiors were gold-plated.
Around 3 p.m., Ivana, wearing a silver grey ankle length trousers, a black crew neck sweater and a dark blue waistcoat, was gently pulled into a luxurious helicopter by Andy.
The interior space of the helicopter is large enough to seat 12 passengers, as it is a true VVIP class with an extremely luxurious interior that extends to the display screen on the back of the seat, the cockpit handle, the vent, as small as the seat belt buckle, the entertainment button and the safety warning sign are all gold-plated.
This high-tech configuration is also rare in helicopters, which adjust the glass hue according to the intensity of the light emitted outside the cabin until optimal viewing results are achieved.
Ivana looked at the interior of the compartment satisfactorily, especially the gold-plated locks, vents and handles, perhaps influenced by her father, who also preferred the style of decoration.
As a pilot, Kenny himself flew a helicopter to the Metropolitan Stadium.
As we approach the stadium, looking at the ground from the air, it's a completely blue and white ocean, and the dense numbness is slowly gathering at the Metropolitan Stadium.
“Honey, it's a big party for New York fans today.” Ivana smiled happily around Andy's arm.
“More than a decade later, again so close to the Super Bowl finals, fans are happy and understanding, hoping to play tonight... ”
When Andy heard some worries, Alvitelli laughed and said, "Don't worry, boss, the Giants are more than 70% likely to win the game tonight, and the gap between Oasis and the Giants is still huge. It's not easy for them to get to the league finals this time, they've been in trouble for injury and illness the first two games. ”
“I hope so. By the way, Al, is O'Negroes here? ”
“By then, he didn't even have to wait for Nevada's final preliminaries to fly to New York, but he should have known by now that he would lose, after all, the poll results were far higher for Hippo than for him. ”
Andy nodded with a slight smile on his face and said, "The O'Blackbull is still very stylish, and although he has no experience in government, he is a good mascot... Cough.”
Andy took a helpless look at his girlfriend who stretched out his hand to strangle him because of what he said. He had to cough up to cover up the embarrassment. He didn't care about Alvitelli, who was already familiar with some of the big boss's weird words. Being a close friend to Andy, he had to be prepared to choose xing amnesia, such as ghosts, sticks, and three.
The helicopter landed slowly on the roof of a building with an airplane landing platform near the main building of the Metropolitan Stadium.
Andy took Ivana off the helicopter and looked at her golden hair, which was blown by the cold wind, and Andy reached over her waist and asked, “Is it cold? ”
“It's okay, let's go.” Ivana smiled back, "How can the celebrities who want to keep their temperatures cold look in their eyes? Besides, the temperature in the box is warm enough that they won't even be able to wear a coat.
Bright, spacious, luxurious Metropolitan Stadium Room 1, the waiters have been packed, a variety of drinks, dessert fruits, all arranged, the comfortable sofas in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, separated by a small square table, quietly awaiting the arrival of the guests.
When Andy walked in with Ivana and her men, all the waiters smiled and welcomed Andy, the owner, to his private compartment for the first time.
