It was also noon on Saturday, in Hangzhou, thousands of miles away from Yangshuo, a grand reception was being held in a high-end hotel on the shore of West Lake.

The two circles of politics and business are united.

The target was the Apollo Management China investment team from the United States.

There are two core guests, Jared Buckley, head of Apollo Management's China business unit, and Lin Su.

As for Leon Black, the CEO of Apollo Management, who is considered by many to be a bigger name, has returned to the United States by this time. Moreover, the so-called investment visit was not on the agenda of the Apollo management team's trip to China, because Lin Su appeared in a news program with someone behind him on one of China's longest-lived and biggest names.

The city is also Lin Su's hometown.

Then, someone with a heart inquired and found that the girl of the Lin family had unknowingly been out of business, and it turned out to be Mr. Simon Westeros's assistant for Chinese affairs, and Lin Su was responsible for many of the schedules of someone's trip to China, and they also appeared in the simulcast together within a conspicuous distance of less than two meters from Westeros.

In that case, how can you ignore your hometown?

Lin Su couldn't do it if he wanted to.

After all, it's not just his own family, but the seven aunts and eight aunts around the Lin family are all in the system, if you don't care...... Actually, it's not a big deal. But more importantly, if it is managed, a series of intertwined relationships will reap great benefits. After all, the current domestic wind direction is like this, with economic construction as the center, as long as it can attract investment, it is a real political achievement, if it is foreign capital, add another yard.

After several days of various phone bombardments and face-to-face lobbying, Lin Su, who was very entangled, finally mentioned it to a certain guy, and the man was very simple, and threw the enterprise information in Zhejiang Province counted by Cersei Capital China Economic Research Institute to her, and chose it himself, if he picked a company or project that could satisfy him, he could invest.

Otherwise, don't talk about it.

In fact, the information and analysis provided by Cersei Capital China Economic Research Institute are very detailed, and you can basically follow the map.

However, it is not so simple.

There are indeed many good companies, but others do not necessarily need your investment, so on the basis of choosing the right target, both parties need to have the intention to cooperate.

This matter can not be done in a day or two, Lin Su still has a lot of work in the capital, so he can only pull the team of the Chinese business department of Apollo Management Company and Chen Qing, who are still in China, and the two small teams that have gradually accumulated to investigate and find the project first, and if it is achieved, it can be regarded as doing a part for his hometown.

As for Lin Su himself, he will return to the capital in the afternoon.

With his father, who was as red as he had recently rejuvenated his second spring, and a political and business tycoon, no one forcibly persuaded Lin Su to drink, and his face was still crimson when he drank, and Lin's father was directly drunk and was helped out to rest in advance.

It wasn't until more than one o'clock in the afternoon that the banquet began to end, and Lin Su, who was about to leave, found Jared Buckley and Ran Yue again.

The two Chinese assistants who will be in charge of the inspection and negotiation here are Jared Barkley and Chen Qing's favorite Chinese assistant, Ran Yue, who symbolically sat next to the two with a glass of red wine in their hands, Lin Su said: "Jerry, Sister Ran, please leave it to you here, we can contact at any time, if you have any questions, my father and they can also help." ”

Both of them nodded, and Ran Yue thoughtfully replaced the red wine in her hand with juice, and said with a smile: "Xiaolin, don't drink it anymore, in case you let ...... Oh, by the way, when will you and Chen Qing return to the United States?"

Lin Su was not drunk, and understood that Ran Yue was actually asking when Simon would leave, and shook his head: "I don't know either." ”

Jared Buckley on the other side also said in fairly standard Chinese: "Lin, I have read many corporate materials, and there are indeed a lot worth investing in." However, there should always be a direction, can you tell me what Mr. Westeros has to ask for, I don't want to make a bad impression on the big boss?"

It would be nice if a guy made a clear request for himself.

Lin Su was inexplicably a little resentful, of course he didn't show it, thought about it for a moment, and said: "Simon has always attached great importance to China's food and beverage industry, you know this, and it just so happens that there are many similar companies in Zhejiang Province. Other than that...... By the way, there are cars, Simon said, China's car market has great potential. ”

Ran Yue, who has a round face and a mature and charming temperament, heard Lin Su's sentence 'Simon said', and her eyebrows were slightly raised.

Jared Barkley grasped another important point: "Geely, Lin, have you also read the information of this company?"

Lin Su was slightly stunned before nodding, and she also understood why she suddenly thought of Simon's accidental words, in recent days, she looked through the information, and she saw that a motorcycle production company called Geely in Zhejiang Province wanted to enter the automotive field and was seeking cooperation.

This should be an opportunity.

Jared Buckley thought for a moment and said: "This seems to be a difficult thing to do, Chinese auto companies usually choose similar companies for foreign cooperation, because it is not enough to produce cars with only money......

Speaking of this, Barkley seemed to suddenly open up again, as if he was talking to Lin Su and as if he was talking to himself, and said quickly: "However, those automobile companies in the federation are not having a good time now, and they have no funds and energy to invest in China, so China's joint venture automobile market has been occupied by German and Japanese brands in recent years." This is an opportunity for us, and there is a lot of room for manoeuvre. It's a big deal, we can poach a group of teams directly from GM or Ford, and the technology can also be acquired. Also, Geely is a private company, which is also very beneficial to us, and I really don't want to work with Chinese state-owned enterprises. ”

Ran Yue looked at a certain big foreigner with a height of more than one meter nine and a sturdy body, chattering more and more excitedly, and finally took out a notepad and wrote it on the dining table, and couldn't help but turn to Lin Su.

What is this disease?

Lin Su smiled, leaned a little towards Ran Yue and whispered, "Foreigners are like this." ”

In fact, to be precise, there are more crazy people on Wall Street.

In the past two years, she and Chen Qing have been responsible for a series of China projects that have been very impressive, but Jared Buckley's China business unit has also achieved excellent results, just by looking at the other party's current proficiency in Chinese, you can see how much he cares about China business.

Finally, Lin Su got up and said goodbye to the leaders.

Father Lin was drunk and couldn't move, Lin's mother He Ning and her sister Lin Lan sent her away together, and on the car to the airport, the mother and daughter sat in the back row together, and in front of Lin Su were the two Wei family female guards.

After explaining to his mother, he asked his father to drink less wine, Lin Su held the hand of his sister who was about to get married, and said: "I may not be able to participate in your marriage next month, but I picked a car abroad, and I am already going through the import procedures, and it will be shipped back when the time comes, which is considered a wedding gift." ”

Lin Lan leaned on Lin Su affectionately: "Sister, you have given me a house, huh...... What's that?"

Lin Su turned his head to the side of his sister and said, "BMW." ”

Lin Lan was a little disappointed: "I thought it would be a Ferrari, just like the one Li Xiaohua drove on Chang'an Street." ”

"It was a sports car, not for everyday use. Moreover, both of you work in the government sector, and it is not appropriate to drive such a conspicuous car, BMW is fine. ”

"Isn't there a BMW in China?"

"Domestic ......" Lin Su paused, didn't say much, just said: "This model has not been sold in China." ”

Mother Lin listened to the conversation between the sisters for a while, and finally said, "Xiaosu, you ...... What is the situation now, can you tell your mother?"

Lin Su could feel that her mother should have weighed it for a long time before she asked this sentence, after all, the family is not stupid, she became a Chinese affairs assistant to a big man like Simon Westeros in less than two years when she went abroad as a woman, and some of the possibilities are too easy to associate.

didn't dare to make eye contact with his mother, Lin Su hung his head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Mom, anyway, I'm fine now." ”

Mother Lin also pulled her daughter to hold one hand in the palm of her hand, sighed softly, and said: "If you are not happy outside, come back at any time, don't pay attention to your father, he is only two years away from retirement, and now it is too late to become an official fan, even if he takes another step in the end." ”

Lin Su held his mother's hand in turn: "Mom, don't talk about my dad like that, it's not easy for him all these years." ”

"Who is easy, now that I can live so well, I should be content," Lin Mu said and looked at Lin Lan on the other side: "And you, don't ask your sister for anything again, you are also a person in the system now, develop this kind of problem, be careful of bad luck in the future." ”

Lin Lan retorted: "I didn't ask for it, my sister took the initiative to buy it for me." ”

"Didn't you always talk about wanting a car in front of your sister when I didn't hear about the Chinese New Year? Anyway, the road in the future will be all for you to walk by yourself, crooked, empty, and your father and I can't control it. There is also the Qin family, you think that if you climb high, others will look up to you, and you will know your own warmth in the future. ”

Lin Lan was about to talk back, but when she heard this, she grinned and hugged her sister: "Originally, their Qin family didn't look down on me, but now that my sister is developed, of course it's different." No matter how powerful their family is, can they be on the simulcast, anyway, Qin Yusong's parents have been good to me recently, and yesterday my future mother-in-law asked me what the new house lacks, so I took the time to buy it together. Hmph, they didn't look down on me before, and they don't know what will happen in the future. Just like this time, the investment brought by my sister, the political performance can't be cheap to others, it's useless to my father, it's useful to me, I'll step on Qin Yusong's head first, and then say, in the future, get rid of Xiao Qin, and the little resource in Lao Qin's hand, if you don't give it to me, you have to give it to me. ”

Mother Lin obviously has a similar temperament to Lin Su, and when she heard her second daughter say this, she was both angry and helpless: "This time it was your sister who contributed to it, and it was not you." ”

"My sister's is mine. ”

Mother Lin raised her hand and hit her second daughter's head: "Is this what people said?"

Lin Lan covered her head: "I was born to you." ”

Seeing that her mother was about to fight again, Lin Su hurriedly stopped and changed the topic: "Mom, don't forget to give the gifts I brought back to my grandparents in the evening, I don't have time to visit them this time, help me apologize to my grandparents." ”

Mother Lin nodded, and complained again: "I have to leave in the morning to the afternoon, what are you doing in such a hurry, today is still Saturday, can't you stay at home for one night?"

Lin Lan interjected again: "Mom, my sister is a big man now." ”

So he was hit in the head again.

Lin Su curled the corners of her mouth slightly to protect her sister, and explained to her mother: "I really don't have time this time, he ...... Well, a lot of things need to be coordinated by me. ”

Lin Lan immediately caught the flaw in her sister's words: "Sister, who is 'he', isn't it Simon Westeros?"

Feeling his mother and sister looking at him together, Lin Su pretended to be calm: "Yes, he is my boss." ”

Lin Lan grinned and turned to her mother: "Mom, maybe one day, you will have a mixed-race little grandson." ”

Mother Lin was about to fight again, but Lin Lan quickly shrank back.

Lin Su could only pretend not to understand his sister's words, but fortunately, after drinking at noon, his face was already ruddy, but he would not show it.

Mother Lin saw her second daughter dodging, looked at her daughter again, thought about it and didn't ask any more, and remembered one more thing: "Yesterday, Xiaodong called and talked about going to the United States to study. Xiao Su, didn't you finish it here?"

Hearing her mother mention this, Lin Su was slightly stunned, but still nodded: "Mom, I don't really want my younger brother to study abroad." ”

Lin Lan was puzzled first: "Why, how many people are crying and shouting to go to the United States now." Sister, it is enough for the Lin family to support me in the future, and I think Ah Dong and Ah Xing should both go to study abroad. ”

Mother Lin interrupted the second daughter's words again, and held the eldest daughter's hand tightly: "Mom wants to say, since you don't think it's suitable, don't care about him, don't ask for someone for this matter." Xiaodong wants to go to the United States and apply by himself, after all, he is a master's degree from Peking University, and he can't even study abroad by himself, so it's nothing. ”

Lin Lan rolled her eyes and said to her mother: "Of course it's okay for my brother to apply by himself, I think he should want to study abroad with that brandy, so he has to trouble my sister, Beijing University of Science and Technology, tsk, it's far worse than Peking University." ”

"What kind of brandy, people call it Bailan, I think that girl is very good," Mother Lin glared at her daughter again, and said: "I know what you think, I don't look down on other workers' families, think about how you feel like you are being looked down upon by the Qin family, is this appropriate?"

"How inappropriate, I am looked down upon, and of course I have to look down on others, otherwise I will suffer more...... Ah, Mom, if you beat me again, I'll beat my sister. ”

Mother Lin hated that iron could not become steel: "You are snobbish." ”

"I'm a snob," Lin Lan said and shrank back, turning to her sister: "In that case, sister, you don't care about going abroad at all, Xiaodong went abroad by himself, just enough to get rid of that girl, and find a better one in the future." ”

Lin Su could only nod lightly and quietly listened to her mother and sister continue to argue.

The two obviously ignored or misunderstood what she had just said, she didn't want her brother to study in the United States.

It's not that I can't, but I don't want to.

I don't want that to happen.

As for the reason.

Lin Su couldn't even say it himself.

Or is it related to someone.

That guy seems to like to help people naturalize in the United States, just like her and Chen Qing, just like the girls of the Guofeng Art Troupe, just like those high-IQ teenagers who have recently been collected in China.

For many Chinese people, this is a dream.

It's the United States, after all.

Many people imagine that this is heaven.

However, just as his fanfare trip to China left her figuring out why, so did he like to do so.

But one thing is certain.

This is definitely not a very good thought, because, by chance, I heard Chen Qing wrapping around him and talking about the progress of going abroad for the girls of the National Style Art Troupe, and she was also beside her inadvertently noticed some fleeting ridicule from the corner of his mouth, the kind of mockery that was very thick and thick that made her heart stab.

He's a jerk.

She has always been very sure of this, how can a bad guy do good?

I can't help it.

But, since it is something he likes to do, she must resist a little, at least, when it comes to her relatives, she can't let him succeed.

Only, what should I do about this?

The third brother Lin Dong graduated from Peking University with a master's degree this year, with the study abroad rate of Peking University students, even if she doesn't help, her younger brother can easily go abroad, the younger sister actually guessed correctly, the third brother just wanted her to help his girlfriend Bai Lan also find a study abroad opportunity.

But I really don't want to do that.

even a little envious of Chen Qing.

She is too assertive than her, her sister-in-law is restless, she directly wants to break up her brother's marriage, and after being suppressed by her father and failing to succeed, she is very strong and directly smashes it with money, promising her sister-in-law to give birth to a child in the Chen family and reward 100,000 yuan, directly turning the poor woman who is not smart into a fertility machine.

It is estimated that in the future, I will only concentrate on having children.

In addition, there is also a supermarket opened by Chen Qing for her brother, which is also in the form of a loan for her brother and sister.

Even if she loses, if she earns, she must use the profits to slowly repay her principal.

Lin Su knows that this is the most reasonable way to get along with adults, even if it is a relative, in many cases, if it is clearer, the relationship can be more durable.

But she couldn't.

In order to allow her sister to be able to straighten her waist at her in-law's house, she directly bought the best house in Hangzhou as a dowry for her, and now she has added a car, which is simply the eldest sister like a mother.

Even the third brother's side.

The third brother called home, apparently trying to persuade her parents to help.

Although her mother did not do this, she in turn advised her not to be difficult for herself. But, in fact, her brother came to beg her again, and she found that she couldn't refuse at all.

Even if you don't want someone to succeed, I guess you still have to help in the end.

That is, I don't know if he will inadvertently show that hateful mocking smile again when he finally learns about it.

Until he boarded the plane to the capital, Lin Su was still struggling with this matter.

Tangled and tangled, and gradually realized a fact that she was very reluctant to admit, it turned out that she cared so much about his thoughts.

Think about it again, she is busy day and night, but he is swimming in the mountains and rivers. Although, in fact, he took the initiative to stay to avoid getting along with Janet Westeros, otherwise he could have stayed by his side like Chen Qing. However, I still can't help but resent.

Bastard.
