Hong Kong, China's first investment bank, CICC, has just finished an hour-and-a-half-hour meeting in the conference room of its headquarters in Central Plaza.

It's already Thursday, August 28.

It was a meeting of only a dozen people, but it was very high-level, because the meeting was about the introduction of cornerstone investors in China Telecom's Hong Kong listing. The so-called cornerstone investor is to determine some credible investment institutions, well-known enterprises or super-rich people as guaranteed subscribers in advance before the IPO of a company, so as to further strengthen the confidence of the market.

At the just-concluded meeting, most of the participants were potential cornerstone investors in China Telecom's overseas listing, and it can be said that the Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia who are on good terms with the Chinese authorities are basically on par.

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

Compared with Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia, just the name 'Westeros' is actually enough to support the cornerstone investor role of this IPO alone, whether it is credibility or capital strength. However, Simon also did not have the idea of completely monopolizing the role.

Whether it's meat or soup, sharing is king.

Of course, after all, the volume is placed here, compared with the total subscription quota of $1 billion for Chinese businessmen convened by CICC, Westeros alone has taken out $500 million alone.

According to the current basic determination of the listing plan, the China Telecom IPO listed at the end of the year, the total amount of financing is about 5 billion US dollars, and now, the IPO plan is still advancing, and the subscription share of 1.5 billion US dollars has been directly determined, and the subscribers have quite strong international appeal, basically have locked in the IPO will be smooth sailing.

At the end of the meeting, everyone got up, as the juniors Chen Lin and the two daughters originally planned to fall behind, but they didn't want a group of middle-aged and elderly men to also take the initiative to slow down, waiting for the two women to walk in, one of them invited in Chinese: "Xiaolin, do you have time at night, Zheng Sheng has a drinking party in Repulse Bay tonight, if you are interested, you can go and see." ”

Lin Su felt the rather friendly tone of this tall and thin man with glasses, and instinctively felt a little uncomfortable, and politely refused: "Sorry, Mr. Li, Chen and I are about to return to the mainland. ”

"Oh, then next time. ”

The other party said, not only did he not feel the slightest displeasure, but also took the initiative to pull out a business card and handed it over, Lin Su took it politely, and did not forget to exchange business cards with other bigwigs.

After greeting her like this for several minutes, the two girls were able to get out, accompanied by four female maids, went downstairs, got into the car, and looked at Chen Qing, who had just been sitting next to her as a follower and began to check her business card with a handbag stronger than her, and glared at her very weakly: "Since you are more interested in these, why did you push me out?"

Chen Qing smiled like a little fox, unceremoniously stuffed a stack of business cards into his bag, and then said, "Because I want to be the mastermind behind the scenes." ”

Lin Su was speechless, inexplicably remembered someone again, and said, "You...... Just know to bully me. ”

Saying this, the car had just left the parking lot of the building, and Lily Favir, who was in the front passenger seat, felt something, took out a vibrating mobile phone from her bag and handed it to Lin Su: "Lin, your father's phone, he has already called once when you and Chen were in a meeting." ”

Lin Su subconsciously raised his hand, shrank again, and finally took the phone and pressed the answer button: "Dad...... yes, it's still ...... I'm going to go back right away, um, I mean, Xiaoqing and I are going to Beijing...... Fake, how can I have $500 million...... No matter how authoritative a magazine is, you don't listen to other people's nonsense, Dad...... I'm sure I'll be back in the U.S. after a few days in Beijing...... Dad, he's the boss of my boss's boss, I don't know how many levels higher, I haven't seen anyone for months...... Okay, I'm going to get on the plane, that's it for now. ”

After saying this, Lin Su hung up the phone directly, and seeing that Chen Qing was still watching the excitement, he casually threw the Nokia over: "Give it to you, give it to you." ”

Chen Qing took the phone with a smile and teased: "You lie quite fluently." ”

Lin Su glared at her: "When did I lie." ”

Chen Qing blinked, and then nodded: "Yes, well, you're not lying at all, you really don't have $500 million, and now you only have $410 million in cash in your account, and some other company shares, together, should be more than $500 million, so you really didn't lie." ”

“......”

With the continuous outbreak of China's VCD industry and the halo of Westeros concept stocks, even according to the closing data of the Forbes US 400 list on August 16, Scober's market value has reached $19.1 billion.

2.65% of the shares, or $506 million.

Therefore, if the two women did not cash out, the statistics of the Forbes list would not deviate much.

As for why Lin Su only has $410 million on his books at this time, the main reason is that it is impossible to choose a high point like August 16 in the cash-out process, and this money has not yet been taxed, and if the 15% capital gains tax that needs to be paid is subtracted, there will probably only be $350 million left.

In any case, a woman who has only been immigrating to the United States for two years has such a sum of cash on her personal account, even Lin Su herself is now a little at a loss. What I didn't expect was that the partners around her, as well as a certain hateful man, would join forces to secretly push her onto this year's Forbes list of the 400 richest people in the United States, which was directly on the bright side.

Chen Qing saw Lin Su's trance-like appearance, and was about to continue to say something, when the mobile phone he had just picked up remembered again, and he didn't think about helping to connect it: "Hey...... Oh, Minister Wu, I'm Xiao Chen...... Ah Su, she's asleep, she's a little tired these days, do you need me to call her...... Oh, that's good...... yes, 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, that's all. ”

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

“......”

Chen Qing blinked again: "Or, I'll go for you?"

Lin Su glared at her: "I don't plan to take you." ”

Chen Qing immediately took the grievance: "Ah Su, how can you ...... me like this?"

Lin Su, who was covered in hair, raised his hand and hit her back a few times.

Chen Qing didn't get angry after being beaten, but couldn't help laughing, and said: "It seems to be a bit of a mistake, I knew it earlier, and I came out myself." ”

"You only now understand?"

"I'm kidding you," Chen Qing immediately changed her tone again: "This kind of limelight, I don't plan to be in the limelight, well, Asu...... Okay, okay, vegetarian...... Oh, don't fight anymore, I mean, I'll be your assistant in the future, you can stay in the mansion and be a young grandmother, and I'll try to help you deal with other things. ”

Lin Su angrily hit her again, thought about it, and said, "By the way, in the media, I mean, on the Chinese side, I don't want to make a fuss." ”

"Don't worry, I've already made it out in advance, and 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: "What you should know, you must know." ”

Lin Su pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but he didn't open his mouth in the end.

Chen Qing waited for her mood to ease for a moment before she said again, "Hey." ”

"Huh?"

"You have to take care of your money better than I can help you. ”

Lin Su paused and said, "I'm going to ask his opinion." ”

"What opinion does the boss have, do you think he values your little money, we men have 1.5 trillion dollars. ”

Lin Su ignored the words 'we men' in Chen Qing's words, but he didn't say anything more.

Though...... Such a huge amount of money was lying in her account, but, deep down, Lin Su always felt that she was just helping him keep a sum of money, after all, since she was a child, she never thought that she would have such a sum of money one day and become a billionaire or something.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Chen Qing suddenly thought of something again: "By the way, this money, I can tell you, you are not allowed to pick it up and donate it casually as before." ”

Lin Su just glanced at her.

In the past two years, Lin Suke has donated a lot of money to various public welfare and charitable organizations in China, but it is basically just her salary, as for the money in her hand, it is still for some reason, she has no intention of using it indiscriminately, and even thinks that she should return it to him, after all, this money is too much, and she feels that she can't afford it.

After Chen Qing finished speaking, she pointed to Lin Su's expression, relaxed slightly, leaned on the leather chair, mentioned the meeting she had just participated in, and couldn't help but say: "The boss made a mistake this time, if it wasn't for the subscription in the name of Westeros, but choosing a third party as a medium, maybe we could get a lower discount." ”

As a cornerstone investor, you tend to take on higher risks, and at the same time, you will naturally enjoy corresponding benefits.

Of course, this part of the discount is generally not put on the surface.

When Lin Su heard Chen Qing's words, he turned his head to look over, subconsciously wanted to say something, paused, and fell silent again.

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

Arriving at the airport, boarding the Gulfstream V, which almost became the private car of the two women, departed from Hong Kong, and in the evening of that day, the plane landed at the capital airport, and the two women returned to Simon's courtyard in Nanluoguxiang.

However, at this time, in the courtyard, it was no longer just Chen Lin's two residents.

Zhu Momo and his entourage had arrived a few days ago, and Chen Qing, who also took care of Simon's housekeeper of various properties in China, personally arranged a group of women here, which was considered to be a low eyelid.

So, in the courtyard at this time, Zhu Momoga, Zhao Annie, Jill Pector, and Li Youhu's master and apprentice, there were five more people at once. Of course, the courtyard house with a garden of the same size in Wujin, not to mention 5 more people, even if it is doubled several times, it is still more than enough.

Speaking of which, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is planned to start filming in late September, and Li Youhu and a few people are already going to join the group, but because the crew is still in the final preparation stage for the time being, they have not begun to assemble, and the team led by Ang Lee has decided to start filming some scenes in Beijing now, so several women also came to the capital and stayed temporarily.

When filming officially starts, it will start traveling across the country.

Compared to the Chinese side, as a close member of the Westeros family, it is faster to get some information.

In the evening, when Chen Qing and Lin Su returned, they happened to meet Zhu Momo, Li Youhu and others who had just come back from a nearby Chinese opera class all day, and when they saw Chen Qing, the one who felt the most was actually Jill Pector, although the waitress didn't know that Chen Qing took herself out, but for Lin Su, with the release of the Forbes New Annual American 400 Rich List, she quickly knew.

Although, the C girl who directly rushed to the top ten on the list this year is Jill Pector's ultimate goal, but the C girl, who has a net worth of more than 20 billion US dollars, is generally a bit far away, even if it is B, C, and D, Jill Pector understands that he is probably hopeless to catch up.

But for Lin Su, the woman ranked 387th on this year's list, Jill feels that she can still catch up.

No matter what the mind is, since they met, they are very warm with each other, after a long period of greetings, they came to the inner courtyard together, Chen Qinglin and Su still live in the west chamber, and Zhu Momo and a few people live in the east chamber, no one lives in the main house, and no one proposes to live in it, after all, that place is a man's by default.

They are not allowed to go in until the other party arrives, at night.

Dinner together in the evening, in the big restaurant in the courtyard, it was finally the first confrontation.

Well...... Teacher Yu and Li Youhu, who were just eaten by someone a few days ago, relatively speaking, always felt that they had not yet entered a certain circle, so they could only watch from the sidelines.

"That "Something to Say", I have also read the script, a very interesting story," at the dinner table, compared to the quiet Lin Su, Chen Qing naturally grasped the initiative of the confrontation: "However, at this stage, China's film industry, heh, basically there is no film industry, including Youhu's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", this is actually a good movie for me, so, Momo, you don't have to pay too much attention to it." ”

Zhu Momo thinks that Chen Qing has a little bit of a similar temperament to her mother, but at a glance, she is a little annoying, annoying, so she-for-tat: "Sister Chen, you mean, Simon attaches great importance to Chinese movies, and he is wrong?"
