This kind of thing is social, and if you have enough strength, you can naturally integrate into certain circles.

In the space of two or three hours, Han Chudong met with many big figures who often appeared on the political pages of American television stations and newspapers.

Due to force majeure, I can't go into details, but I can only say that the conversation process was quite pleasant, and a small stack of business cards was sent out one after another, more than 30 of them.

Washington seems to have moved the entire office space.

From the Grand Supervisor to the First Succession to the Eighth Heir, all the way to the Eighth Heir, today they are all concentrated in this San Francisco hotel, which refers to the order in which the Oval Office will take over after the boss has a problem.

The high standard of the meeting can be seen from this, and from time to time there are helicopters hovering overhead, and it is not too much to say that there is a post in three steps and a post in five steps.

Thanks to his young age, no one forced Han Chudong to choose a camp, and in the eyes of others, he was like a "walking bank", and he was more popular everywhere, which made him once again get past the addiction of being among the top echelons, and took photos with dignitaries from many countries, including Margaret Thatcher, the Iron Lady, who is currently the British Secretary of State for Education and Science.

If you can get a stepping stone to becoming a rich person, as the third richest person in the United States and the fifth richest person in the world, although it is only the kind that has surfaced, Han Chudong is still equivalent to having a siege car, which is enough to make others treat him warmly.

The iron-clad tycoons and the political leaders who are flowing water, except for some relationships that may be used and need to be carefully managed, are more often just looking at the flowers.

Because the topic was mainly focused on the global economy, many financiers and business tycoons from all over the world, including the CEO of Airbus, asked Han Chudong if he had any ideas about buying a Concorde supersonic business jet, and after expressing his concerns about the US flight ban, the other party expressed his understanding.

Boeing's? EO is also here, and there are also some executives from large companies such as Mobil Oil, DuPont, and Citibank, as well as executives from Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Yasuda, and other companies, who are not necessarily major shareholders, but they all hold great power.

Speaking of which, hard-working entrepreneurs like Han Chudong can already be called similar to model workers, and more wealthy people with total assets of more than 100 million US dollars like to throw their troubles to professional managers to solve.

When they help them make money, they give them some rewards, and if they lose money or stay put, they will change to a more capable professional manager.

Considering that unless it is the inheritance of the inheritance, traditional businessmen often need to spend decades to accumulate a certain amount of wealth, and like to spend their time on themselves, it is not surprising that the myth of the benefit of the IT industry has not yet begun, and the group of people who have made a name for themselves in Silicon Valley in recent years are nothing more than IBM, HP, etc., etc., etc., and it is not so easy to accumulate wealth.

So whether it is Paul Getty Sr., or Buffett, Munger and others who just talked about it some time ago, they are all envious of Han Chudong's young success.

Starting from scratch and earning more than $2 billion in a year, if it hadn't really happened, not many people would believe it.

When he stepped out of his comfort zone to socialize, Han Chudong found that he was far more famous than he expected, and often after saying his name to other businessmen, the other party would show a suddenly realized face, and then smile and stretch out his hand......

I had only heard of the legend of the Walton family, a family of several billionaires, with the largest total wealth in the world.

At this moment, Han Chudong unexpectedly saw Mr. Sam Walton in the crowd, he was chatting with two old men who were also old, and he was one of the many small shareholders of Wal-Mart, accounting for 3.4 percent of Wal-Mart's total share capital, so he took the initiative to say hello.

Reaching out to Sam Walton, he said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Walton, I'm Mason Han, and I've been investing in the Walmart supermarket chain through Mason Private Equity. ”

"I know you, I just saw you talking to Mr. Ford*, so I didn't bother, it's a very, very good young man. ”

Sam Walton shook hands with Han Chudong as he spoke, and said enthusiastically to the two old men in front of him: "You know this powerful young Chinese businessman, right? Han, this is one of the founders of the Hyatt Regency Chicago Hotel Group, Jay Pritzker, and this is the director of the UBS Group, named Jack Perez. ”

Introducing others is social etiquette, Han Chudong heard this, greeted the two warmly, and said politely: "Mr. Pritzker, shouldn't this hotel be your property? And Mr. Perez, I have always been very confident in the secrecy of Swiss banks, maybe I should open an account in it and deal with some currency transactions in cross-border business." ”

Jay Pritzker Sr. spoke first and told: "This is one of the assets of our group, so I can only get in today, in fact, I didn't even get an official invitation, unlike you really rich people." ”

He also has a lot of assets, with nine-figure dollars, so self-deprecation is more like a joke.

However, whether it is compared with Sam Walton, who is worth more than a billion dollars, or compared with Han Chudong, there is indeed a big gap, Hyatt Hotel Group was just founded in 1957, and it is currently in a period of rapid development, but the overall scale cannot be compared with those old peers such as Marriott, Intercontinental, and Hilton International.

The old man named Jack Perez was helpless and said, "If even you are not really rich, then I simply don't have the courage to talk to you." Mason Han, you're at the top of our list of key potential customers, and you recently took out a $200 million loan from Citibank, right, and if you come to us, you might be able to get a better interest rate. ”

Han Chudong smiled and nodded: "You can talk when you have time, after all, I have always been short of money, and it is of course good to be able to get more loans." In my eyes, no matter what company I look at, it looks like it has great potential, and I also like some novel cutting-edge technology, and it costs a lot of money to invest in and research and development.

It would be better to give me a large sum of money to buy all the shares in Mr. Walton's hands, I am very optimistic about the prospects of supermarkets, and I am also running a chain of stores, so I know this aspect better. ”

Jack Perez thought Han Chudong was joking, so he also joked: "As long as you come up with enough assets to pledge, it is not completely impossible, provided that Sam Walton is willing to sell it to you." You've made a big mistake by letting Sam know your intentions in advance, and you're still so confident in his business, the offer is sure to go up. ”

Old Sam Walton looked at Han Chudong and nodded with a smile: "Believe me, it will definitely be more than 30% premium, I know that Baofeng Electric Company, a very good retail chain store, the investment consultant suggested to me that it is best to invest in it......"
