Chapter 102: American Capital Group
Tang Miaomiao blushed and said, "Susu, what nonsense, how can there be?"
Su Zhuorui threw the bag on the sofa and said to Zhang Chen angrily: "I have already picked up the person, arrange to live in the executive suite of Fairmont, and you have to reimburse me for the two-day room fee of 2,200 US dollars." ”
Zhang Chen smiled: "No problem, hard work." ”
Su Zhuorui said dissatisfiedly: "It seems that I have become your mother." ”
Tang Miaomiao smiled and said, "Su Su, why are you so angry?"
Su Zhuorui glanced at Tang Miaomiao, "I'm working hard outside for this kid's business, it's good for you to be here and me." Can I not be so angry?"
Tang Miaomiao's face turned red, "You, what nonsense are you talking about? ”
Su Zhuorui didn't bother to pay attention to this best friend, and went straight into the bedroom to change clothes.
"Miao Miao, it's really not okay to deal with me for a day today, this kid won't stay here for a few days and will go to live in the Stanford dormitory, and you will be here with me at that time." Su Zhuoyuan's voice came from the bedroom.
Tang Miaomiao stuck out her tongue at Zhang Chen, and said in a raised voice: "No, my dad has a friend who has a house in the Bay Area, and no one lives in it now, so I will move to him in two days, and I have already said it." By the way, if you're okay in the afternoon, come with me to get the keys. ”
Su Zhuorui changed his clothes and walked out, "Then I have to ask your good student, he arranged to meet with others today." Otherwise, why don't you go with us and get the keys together if it's too early?"
Zhang Chen said: "Then let's go to the hotel now, I will invite everyone to dinner at noon, by the way, Sister Su, how is this Mr. Williams?"
Su Zhuorui thought for a while, "I don't have much contact with him, but he still has a good reputation in the school, and he once served as the president of the student union of the law school." Alas, you don't know if you get in touch with him yourself, hurry up. ”
Zhang Chen and Tang Miaomiao followed Su Zhuorui into her second-hand Chevrolet, and arrived downstairs at Fairmont in less than ten minutes.
Su Zhuorui went to the front desk and asked the front desk to inform Mr. O'Casey Williams that there was a visit, and after a brief phone call between the two sides, they chose to go downstairs at the Laurel Courtbar.
"Hi, I'm Okashi, Ocassi Williams. A middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and a floral shirt and beach pants appeared in front of Zhang Chen and the others.
Zhang Chen couldn't help but be a little stunned, in his impression, people in law firms like Achtell should be business style with straight suits and gold-rimmed glasses. The way this Mr. Williams opened it completely unexpectedly.
Zhang Chen stretched out his hand and shook Okassi's hand, Okashi saw Zhang Chen's appearance, laughed and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm here to visit Irene by the way for a vacation in California, it's rude." ”
"Irene?" Zhang Chen looked at Su Zhuorui.
Su Zhuohui said in the presence of the old god: "Yes, Irene is the English name of the old lady. After that, he smiled at Okashi and said, "This is my temporary boss, Zhang Chen." ”
Zhang Chen smiled: "Call me Zack." “
Okashi looked at Tang Miaomiao, and his eyes lit up, "Who is this beautiful lady?"
Su Zhuorui introduced: "This is my friend, Evelyn. Tang Miaomiao also generously greeted Okashi.
After the three of them sat down, Zhang Chen briefed Ocassi about his investment in OICQ, and expressed his hope that Okashi would draw up an investment agreement for him.
Ocasi smiled: "Zack, if you just draw up an agreement, you don't need to ask us to do it at all, there are a lot of law firms in Silicon Valley that can handle it, and the fees are much cheaper." And with all due respect, your case is too small, and if we set the fee standard according to the percentage of the project that we have always set the target, no one would be willing to take it. “
Zhang Chen smiled: "It doesn't matter, find the most professional person to do the most critical thing, this is one of my concepts." Most importantly, don't leave loopholes to avoid future disputes. If Achtell thinks that the amount of money in the case is too small, I can bill by the hour or as a blanket as a whole, and that's fine. ”
Ocassi shook his head regretfully, "Well, since you say so, I'll make a package at our minimum price of $150,000." ”
Zhang Chen nodded in agreement, took out an investment plan from his bag and handed it to Okashi. "Okashi, this is the basic situation of the whole project and my appeal, you see, it is best to draw up the agreement tomorrow, the sooner the better. ”
Ocassi gave an exaggerated expression, "Zack, this is impossible, you can't help but think that it is too easy for us to make money, at least three days." ”
Zhang Chen shook his head and said, "Two days at most, I'm very anxious. ”
Ocassi reluctantly said, "Okay, I'll do my best." By the way, I heard Erin say, you are investing as a natural person, why not set up a company in the United States? If you invest in the form of a company, it will reduce a lot of trouble. Moreover, your investment amount has met the criteria for investment immigration. Why don't you choose investment immigration?"
Zhang Chenqi said: "I am not yet 18 years old, can I set up a company?"
Ocassi laughed, "There are many ways to do this, for example, you can appoint Erin or Evelyn as your agent, and you will hold the entire equity of the company, so there will be no problem." And if you immigrate, you can enjoy a lot of tax breaks, so why not?"
Zhang Chen thought for a while and said firmly: "Forget about immigration, is there any other way?"
Ocasi said patiently: "If you don't immigrate, I also suggest that you get a green card, and it is very cost-effective to obtain permanent residency in the United States." Okashi explained to Zhang Chen in detail the various benefits of getting a green card.
It's okay to get a green card, Zhang Chen said secretly in his heart.
Several people chatted for a long time, and the topic was not limited to ICQ's project, and it could be seen that Ocassi had a good impression of Su Zhuohui and wanted to pursue Su Zhuohui, but Su Zhuohui was a little lukewarm.
Zhang Chen asked: "Okashi, are the main clients of a law firm like Achtell all big conglomerates?"
Ocasy took a sip of coffee and nodded, "Yes, for example, Pfizer, American Capital Group and others are our long-term customers. ”
"American Capital Group?" the strange name made Zhang Chen a little curious.
Seeing that Zhang Chen didn't know about this company, Okashi smiled: "It's normal that you don't know, this is a specialized investment management company." It should be said that it is the largest investment management company in the world. ”
Zhang Chen was quite surprised, "Then who is bigger between him and Sequoia?"
Ocasi smiled, "Don Valentine, the founder of Sequoia, used to work for American Capital Group. Sequoia, its largest hidden shareholder, is also the American Capital Group. ”
"Have you heard the rumors of the Rothschild family?" said Okashi suddenly.
Zhang Chen nodded and said with a smile: "According to legend, it is the invisible controller of the world economy, but I don't believe it. ”
Ocassi nodded, "Yes, maybe the Rothschild story is just rumor. However, the American capital group is the actual Rothschild, and if the rumors of the Rothschild family are only false rumors, the control of the entire world economy by the American capital group is indeed real. ”
Zhang Chen was surprised: "Is it really so powerful?"
Okashi: "American Capital Group has invested more than $800 billion in equity around the world, which means that at least he can manipulate the flow of more than $8 trillion. Last year, the overall GDP of the United States was only more than 7.6 trillion US dollars. ”
