Chapter 611: Be a Meat Eater
Wednesday.
The Safoy Hotel holds lavish banquets as usual. London's most famous Wind-Moon Stadium, Queen Elizabeth II had many dates with Prince Philip in the 50s, and when she was crowned in 1953, the famous 1,400-person celebration was held at the Safoy Hotel.
Churchill and his cabinet were equally fond of Safoy, where they often enjoyed lunch and afternoon tea, as an ultra-luxury hotel built in 1889, the formal afternoon tea here still maintains the tradition of afternoon tea dance until the 21st century, and the velvet bow tie and wide-brimmed hat mean expensive expenses far beyond the consumption level of government officials, but Churchill is also a supporter of British Petroleum, and always has extra income to fully appreciate the beauty and ugliness of capitalist society.
The hotel's rooms are also characterful, often named after celebrities who have lived there, such as the Monet Suite, where Impression created more than 70 paintings of London street scenes and the River Thames. Standing in front of the window of Monet's suite while admiring the real scenery while admiring the scenery in the oil painting is probably one of the most tasteful romantic acts, if you say "this oil painting is for you", it must be enough to make any local tyrant promote the saint.
Sioux City stepped on the bell at 22 o'clock in the evening to arrive at the Safoy Hotel, compared to the banquet that started at 20 o'clock, this time could not be considered too late.
There were still a lot of people in the banquet hall, and there were more than twice as many fashionably dressed women as they walked among the well-dressed men.
Li Lin, who had just arrived in London, took a deep breath, touched her ears and smiled: "The competition is so fierce." ”
"What kind of competition?" Li Shirong, who was bent on secrecy, seemed to be awakened by the word competition.
Li Lin giggled: "Women's competition." I don't understand it for you. ”
As she spoke, she stood on the other side of Shu Lan, holding her by the hand and saying, "Let's go." Let's also show the charm of women. ”
Shu Lan smiled generously: "You want to borrow my name." ”
With Li Lin's efforts, she and Shu Lan are already best friends, and she smiled without shyness at this time: "My name is not bad, the head of the public relations department of Dahua Industrial." I'm worried that I'm too strong a woman, and I want to neutralize it with your grace. ”
Shu Lan tilted her head, deliberately made Li Lin wait for a while, and said with a smile: "It's okay." I can also help you with the checks. ”
"What the hell, I'm here to practice English. Li Lin casually told a joke, then bent down and smiled at Su Cheng and said, "Su Dong." I'm sorry, I'm going to take Shulan away. ”
"Drink less. Su Cheng stood at the door for a moment, and several company executives had already come to recognize people, so it was better to let Shu Lan play at the banquet by himself.
Don't look at it as just a small hotel. The art alone is enough for a modern museum. It's always more fun than meeting people.
The Dahua team of up to 10 people in total scattered and joined different circles, which can be regarded as reducing the workload of Su Cheng, after all, most of the senior officials of the company who came here were to solve Dahua Industrial, and they did not have to talk to Su Cheng.
However, it is not necessary for predators with ulterior motives, or leaders of large companies who think they are strong.
The enthusiastic president of Lehman Brothers' London introduced Sioux City to the center's circle. After a few seconds, he was surrounded by men with various expressions.
"Su Dong. Pan Asia Fund has been shorting crude oil futures lately, and this is putting a lot of pressure on us, what is your goal?" Paxson, the manager of the Paxson Fund Company, personally stepped out and adopted a one-way approach.
In the current situation, if he didn't ask quickly, I was afraid that he would not have time to ask.
Su Cheng glanced at the American man and said lightly: "I'm not optimistic about the price of crude oil." ”
"We are not optimistic about the price of crude oil, but does Su Dong have any inside information?" Paxson asked politely, just like his appearance, full of recklessness.
"Maybe there is, maybe not, who knows. Su Cheng is very skeptical about how such a fund manager started, of course, in his position today, he may not need to use his face to prove his strength, but in the highly competitive fund market, long-term unpleasantness is definitely not popular with customers.
Perhaps, this can show that Paxson is a capable guy from another side?
His thoughts flashed away, and Paxson said bluntly again: "In recent days, many people have been busy studying the Pan-Asia Fund, more than 10 billion US dollars, it is really exciting to think about, Su Dong, no matter what the Pan-Asia Fund wants to do, what is needed, must call Paxson." This is my business card. ”
Paxson held the business card between his index and middle fingers and handed it to Sioux City, a little frivolous, or rather fashionable.
London is also a fashion city, and in addition to the gentleman's Sherlock Holmes, there can also be a gentleman's Watson.
Su Cheng raised an eyebrow and took the business card.
"We must call the Paxon Fund, as long as there is profit, we can also do good things. Paxson laughed and walked out of the circle.
It looked like he was waiting for Sioux City to come.
It is indeed possible.
Su Cheng was slightly surprised, before, he was more concerned about Dahua Industrial as a hunting target, but rarely considered, as a $17 billion offshore fund, it can also attract hunting partners.
Of course, it is also possible that Paxson was only disguised as a hunting companion and was in fact still an independent hunter.
Without knowing the guy's temperament, Sioux City wouldn't have made any response, just putting the business card in his inner pocket.
If it is a large-scale hedge fund, it may be very welcoming to followers, and futures bears certainly do not mind, but they may not actively cater to it.
Executives from BP and other companies were also helpless about Paxson's statement, and chatted about the stormy night in an instant.
About a quarter of an hour later, as everyone came out of Paxson's bluntness, more temptations began to emerge.
Everyone was perplexed by Sioux City's behavior and tempted by the high sums of money from the Pan-Asian Fund.
Some company executives are also exploring ways to join the Pan Asia Fund, and they may not want to join the Pan Asia Fund, but they just want to understand the composition of the Pan Asia Fund.
After all, apart from Dahua Industrial, even British Global Petroleum cannot be identified as a part of it.
This is also the beauty of offshore funds, which are difficult to prove their relevance unless the other party wants to.
Even Dahua Industrial cannot legally prove the direct correlation between the two. Sioux City appeared simply because he didn't care.
