Chapter 1,017 - In China (I)

Chapter 800.

In Hong Kong, the conference room at the headquarters of CICC, China's first investment bank, in Central Plaza, has just concluded a meeting that lasted an hour and a half.

The time has been Thursday, August 28th.

This was a meeting with only a dozen attendees, but it was a very high profile meeting, as it was to discuss the introduction of a cornerstone investor for China Telecom's Hong Kong IPO. The so-called cornerstone investor is a company's IPO listing before the identification of some highly credible investment institutions, famous enterprises or super-rich as a guarantee subscribers, in order to further strengthen the confidence of the market.

Most of the participants in the just-concluded meeting were potential cornerstone investors in China Telecom's overseas listing, and it's fair to say that Southeast Asian Chinese businessmen who are friendly with the Chinese authorities are almost all here.

As a result, among a group of middle-aged and elderly men, Chen Qing and Lin Su, who are both quite distinguished in appearance and temperament, are quite eye-catching, and the two women are participating in this meeting as Simon's direct personal representatives, while Westeros, also as a cornerstone investor, will participate in the early subscription.

Compared to the Southeast Asian Chinese business, just the name 'Westeros' is actually enough to hold up the role of cornerstone investor in this IPO alone, both in terms of credibility and capital strength. However, Simon has no desire to completely monopolize the role.

Whether it's meat or soup, sharing together is the way to go.

Of course, after all, the volume is placed here, and compared to the total $1 billion in subscriptions from the Chinese businessmen gathered by CICC, Westeros alone has put up $500 million.

According to the current IPO plan, the total amount of financing for the IPO of China Telecom, which was listed at the end of the year in advance, is about $5 billion, and now, the IPO plan is still moving forward, and has already confirmed the subscription share of $1.5 billion directly, and the subscribers have quite strong international appeal, basically has locked the IPO will be smooth sailing.

Ending the meeting, everyone got up, as the younger Chen Lin two women were going to fall behind, but didn't want a group of middle-aged and elderly men also took the initiative to slow down, and when the two women walked in, one of them invited in Mandarin, "Xiao Lin, do you have time tonight, Zheng Sheng is having a cocktail party in Repulse Bay tonight, if you're interested, you can go take a look."

Lin Su felt the rather affable tone of the tall, thin man with glasses, and instinctively felt a bit out of place, politely declining, "Sorry, Mr. Li, Chen and I will be returning to the mainland soon."

"Oh, that's next time."

The other party said that not only was he not displeased in the slightest, he also took the initiative to pull out a business card and handed it over, which Lin Su politely accepted, not forgetting to exchange business cards with a bunch of other big shots.

So greeted for several minutes, the two women were able to get out, accompanied by four female guards to the downstairs, on the car, looking just has been as a sidekick-like now sitting next to a strong hand over her handbag began to check business cards Chen Qing, has been very weakly stared at her: "Since you are more interested in these, why did you push me out? "

Chen Qing smiled like a little fox and unceremoniously stuffed a stack of business cards all into her bag before saying, "Because I'm going to be the one behind the curtain ah."

Lin Su was speechless, inexplicably reminded of someone again, reading, "You ...... just know how to bully me."

So saying, the car had just left the building's parking lot when Lily Favell, who was in the front passenger seat, felt something and pulled out a vibrating cell phone from her bag and handed it to Lin Suo, "Lin, your dad's number, he already called once during your meeting with Chen."

Lin Su subconsciously raised her hand and cringed a bit more, but finally picked up the phone and pressed the answer button, "Dad ...... yeah, still ...... will be right back, um, I mean, me and Qing are going to Beijing! ...... fake, I don't have $500 million ...... even the most authoritative magazines can be wrong, Dad, don't listen to people's nonsense okay ...... I'm sure, spend a few days in Beijing, I might just Back in the US ...... dad, who is my boss's boss' boss.

After saying so, Lin Su directly hung up the phone, saw that Chen Qing was still watching the show, and casually threw that Nokia over, "Here you go, all for you."

Chen Qing laughed and took the phone, teasing, "You're quite fluent when it comes to lying."

Lin Su glared at her, "When did I lie."

Chen Qing blinked, then nodded, "Yeah, well, it's not a lie at all, you really don't have $500 million, there's only $410 million in cash in the account right now, some other company shares and so on, together, it should be over $500 million, it's really not a lie ah."

"......"

The last time after Simon's proposal, the two women have been successively 2.65% of the shares of Scoble cash, as China's VCD industry continues to explode and the aura of the concept of Westeros, even according to the Forbes U.S. 400 richest person list statistics on August 16, the closing data, when the market value of Scoble has reached $ 19.1 billion.

Chapter 2.

So, if the two women didn't cash out, the statistics of the Forbes list are not too far off.

As for why Linsu only has $410 million on his books at this point, the main reason is that the process of cashing out can't all be as high as the August 16 selection, and the money hasn't been reported for tax purposes, so if you subtract the 15% capital gains tax that needs to be paid, you're left with about $350 million.

In any case, a woman who had immigrated to the United States for only two years, with such a sum of cash in her personal account, even Lin Su herself was now a bit bewildered. What's more, the partner beside her, as well as a certain wretched man, has teamed up to secretly push her onto this year's "Forbes" list of the 400 richest people in the United States, directly in the open.

The first time I saw her in a trance, I was about to say something, but the phone I had just received came back to me, and I didn't even think about it. ...... Oh, Minister Wu, I'm Xiao Chen ...... Ah Su, she's asleep. It's been a bit of a tiring few days, do you need me to call her ...... Heh, that's fine ...... Yeah, the meeting just ended and we're on our way to the airport ...... Tomorrow morning... . no problem, well, I'll tell her when she wakes up, then."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Qing saw Lin Su looking over and said, "From the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, I hope that we ...... well, no, it's Miss Lin, can attend a seminar on China's information industry tomorrow morning, I've agreed to it for you."

"......"

Chen Qing blinked again, "How about I go for you?"

Lin Su glared at her, "I'm not going to take you."

Chen Qing immediately went next to her in aggravation, "Ah Su, how could you do this to me ......"

The hairy Lin Su raised her hand and hit her on the back of her spine a few times.

Instead of getting angry after being hit, Chen Qing couldn't help but laugh and also said, "It seems like a bit of a misstep, if I had known, I would have taken matters into my own hands myself."

"You only understand now?"

"Just kidding with you," Chen Qing immediately changed her tone again, "I'm not going to go out with this kind of limelight, um, Ah Suo ...... Okay okay, Suo... ...Heh, no more hitting, I mean, I'll be your assistant from now on, so you can stay in the mansion as a young lady in peace, and I'll try to help you with the other things."

Lin Su angrily hit her again, and thought, "Right, the media, I mean, the Chinese side, I don't want to make a fuss."

"Don't worry, I've already made the arrangements in advance, and this matter will definitely not appear in the public media."

Lin Su immediately asked again, "What about in private, how did my father suddenly find out?"

Chen Qing laughed, "What should be known, must be known ah."

Lin Su trailed off, wanting to say something, but didn't open her mouth in the end.

Chen Qing waited for her mood to slow down for a moment before saying again, "Hey."

"Huh?"

"You're going to have to take care of that money for you, than I will."

Lin Su paused and said, "I, will have to ask his opinion."

"What opinion can the boss have, do you think he sees your small amount of money, but our man owns 1.5 trillion US dollars."

Lin Su ignored Chen Qing's words of 'we men' and other names like that, but she didn't say anything more.

Although a huge sum of money like ...... was lying on her account, but, deep down, Lin Su always felt that she was just keeping a sum of money for him, after all, since she was a child, she had never thought that she would someday have such a sum of money and would become a billionaire or something.

When Chen Qing saw that she didn't answer, she suddenly thought of something else, "Right, this money, I can tell you that you're not allowed to just pick it up and donate it like you used to."

Lin Su just gave her a blank look.

In these two years, Lin Su but donated a lot of money to various charity organizations in China, but that was basically just her salary, as for the money in her hand, or for some reason, she didn't intend to use it indiscriminately in the slightest, and even thought that she should return it to him, after all, it was too much money, she felt that she couldn't afford it.

Chen Qing finished, pointing to measure Lin Su's expression, slightly put her mind at ease, leaning back in the leather chair, mentioning the meeting she had just participated in, she couldn't help but say, "The boss is a bit misguided this time, if we hadn't subscribed in the name of Westeros, and instead chose a third party as the medium, we might have been able to get a lower discount."

As a cornerstone investor, one often had to take higher risks, and at the same time, naturally, one would also enjoy the corresponding discounts.

Of course, this part of the discount would usually not be displayed in plain sight.

When Lin Su heard these words from Chen Qing, she turned her head to look over, subconsciously wanted to say something, paused, and then fell silent.

Chen Qing naturally also noticed Lin Su's expression and slightly hooked the corner of her mouth.

Arriving at the airport, boarding the Gulfstream V that had almost become the two women's private car, departing from Hong Kong, this evening, the plane landed at the capital airport, the two women returned to Simon's courtyard house in Nanluoguxiang by car.

However, it was no longer just Chen Lin's two residents in the quadrangle.

Zhu Momo and his party had arrived a few days before, while also taking care of Simon in China various property big steward of Chen Qing personally arranged a group of women on this side, is considered eyelid low.

As a result, at this time in the courtyard, Zhu Momo plus Annie Zhao plus Jill Peckert, as well as Li Youhuo master and apprentice, there are five more people at once. Of course, five into the same area of the garden attached to the courtyard, not to mention five more people, even if a few times more, is still more than enough.

By the way, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" plans to start shooting in late September, originally Li Youhu several people have to enter the group, but because the crew is still in the final preparatory stage, did not start assembling, Li An led the team and determined to now Beijing to start shooting some shots, so several women also came to the capital, and temporarily live.

When the shooting officially starts, then also have to start running around the country.

Compared to the Chinese side, being the sidekick of the Westeros family, it was faster to get certain news.

In the evening, when Chen Qing and Lin Su returned, they happened to meet up with Zhu Momo and Li Youhuo, who had just returned from their classes at the nearby Chinese opera all day, and saw Chen Qing and the two of them.

The C-girl is the ultimate goal of Jill Peckert, but the C-girl, whose net worth has exceeded $20 billion, is a bit distant in general, even if it is B, C and D. Jill Peckert understands that she is probably hopeless to catch up.

But for Lin Su, the woman who ranked 387th on this year's list, Jill felt that it was still possible to catch up.

Regardless of the thoughts, since they met, they all acted very warmly towards each other, and after a good period of pleasantries, they came to the inner courtyard together, Chen Qing Lin Su and the two still lived in the west wing, while Zhu Momo and a few others, lived in the east wing, the main room was unoccupied, and no one offered to live in it, after all, that place was some man's by default.

Unless the other party arrived, they could only go in at night.

Dinner together in the evening, in the large restaurant in the quadrangle, was always the first encounter.

Well ...... Teacher Yu and Li Youfox, who had just been eaten by someone a few days ago, always felt relatively uninvolved in a certain circle, and could only watch a little from the sidelines.

"That 'Say Anything' ah, I also read the script, a very interesting story," at the table, compared to the quiet Lin Su, Chen Qing naturally grasped the initiative of the confrontation: "However, at this stage of China's film industry, heh, basically there is no film industry, including Youhu's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which is actually still a good come me movie, so, Momo, you don't have to be too on top of it at all."

Wish Momo feel bar, Chen Qing has their own mother adult so little bit of similar temperament, just, at a glance, is in is a little bit annoying ah annoying ah, so needling: "Chen sister, you mean, Simon is very important to Chinese movies, but also wrong?"
