Chapter 14: Impressions of New York

Back at the company, Xu Qing called Mina, the sales manager of Carney Media, to the office.

"Mina, you go and make an appointment with the business manager of Barnes & Noble, preferably this week, and you can use this, no more than $30,000. Xu Qing's thumb and index finger were rubbed together a few times.

"Okay, I'll do my best. ”

Mina understood what Xu Qing meant, but he didn't dare to promise Xu Qing that he would be able to make an appointment with the business manager of Barnes & Noble's bookstore this week.

The weekend is a rest day for Barnes & Noble, today is Wednesday, and Thursday and Friday are left.

The business manager of Barnes & Noble is busy, and the next two days may have already been scheduled.

Carney Media is small, and people don't necessarily pay attention to you, let alone make an appointment for a meeting in the next two days.

"Do your best, I can't make an appointment this week, and I can do it next week, and report any problems to me in time. ”

Xu Qing did not embarrass Mena, Barnes & Noble has an annual revenue of more than $1.6 billion, and for such a large company, their management is very busy, and the business manager is one of the busiest.

Mina left Xu Qing's office shaking his fat body, and Xu Qing frowned.

Mainer's image is very poor, so he doesn't know what his ability is, so he took this opportunity to talk to Barnes & Noble about things and investigate, and if his ability is not good, he will be transferred or even dismissed.

As he was about to leave work, Mina told Ms. Xu that Smith, the business manager at Barnes & Noble, had promised to meet with Ms. Xu the following Monday morning.

Xu Qing asked Miner to buy three plane tickets to New York, where Barnes & Noble's headquarters are located.

Barnes & Noble is a sales channel, and among the three links of book printing, sales channels, and publicity channels, it is the most difficult to overcome, and he will use all means to overcome this sales channel.

On Sunday afternoon, Xu Qing, Mina, and Carlyle arrived at New York's JFK International Airport, and because it was Monday morning, Xu Qing and they came to New York a day early.

After Xu Qing got off the plane, his first feeling was that there were a lot of people, bustling, and people of all colors.

New York is known as a paradise for mankind, and people from many countries, including other parts of the United States, come to New York to pursue their dreams.

The brutal thing is that the competition here is fiercer than anywhere else, and the people who can really establish themselves in New York are one out of ten thousand.

To be more precise, New York is a paradise for the rich, where money can enjoy everything, everything.

Xu Qing's hotel is the world-famous luxury hotel Ritz-Carlton, located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where the cost of a room for 3 people together exceeds $2,000 per day.

It's not that Xu Qing wants to book such an expensive hotel, it's that the business manager of Barnes & Noble has put the meeting place at Ritz-Carlton.

Xu Qing simply put the place where the three of them lived in this hotel, saving money and running around, he was not short of money.

When night fell, Xu Qing did not go out to explore the nightlife of New York like many first-time people do.

Instead, stand in front of the room's huge floor-to-ceiling windows and look out at the city that lights up brightly.

In his previous life, he came to New York with a company tour group, following the travel method of getting on the bus to sleep, getting off to pee, and scissorhands to visit here, and he had no impression of New York.

New York claims to be the world's largest city, not because it has the largest population and area in the world, but because New York is the economic power that ranks first among all cities in the world.

Many Fortune 500 companies have their headquarters in New York, and Fortune 500 companies that do not have headquarters in New York will also set up their second headquarters in New York.

New York Stock Exchange, Citibank, Morgan Consortium, Rockefeller Consortium, Goldman Sachs Corporation...... , a wealth of institutions located in New York.

New York is not only economically powerful, but its power in the area of culture and media is also very terrifying.

Broadway theaters, the three major broadcasters in the United States, the New York Times, Forbes magazine, and a number of other cultural and media organizations with global influence are headquartered in New York.

New York is a symbol of the United States, and its status in the United States is more important than the HSD where the White House is located, because the capital power contained in New York can directly affect the global politics, economy, culture and other aspects.

The capital forces of New York, represented by Wall Street, control the world's finance, while the United States uses Wall Street as a tool to control the world.

The core population of Wall Street is white, and Xu Qing can't avoid Wall Street if he wants to make a career in this era.

Is it possible for him to succeed in the United States as a Chinese? Is it impossible?

"Carlyle, do you like New York?" asked Carlyle, who was standing aside.

"No, don't like everything here, including women. Carlyle immediately shook her head.

He grew up in Monta, as the Americans call it, and then moved into the deserted Navy SEAL barracks.

Before Xu Qing became a bodyguard, he spent most of his time in relatively desolate places such as the suburbs, villages, and wilderness.

So he doesn't have much feeling for the big city, and he doesn't adapt very much, but it's much better than when he first worked as a bodyguard for Xu Qing.

"The women in New York are the top in the United States, and Hollywood can't compare to them, why don't you like the women here?" Xu Qing said with a smile.

Because New York has the richest people, the women who live in New York are either particularly capable or still very capable.

"I'm poor, and they don't look down on me. Carlyle shrugged.

"Also, you can't soak the best woman here without a million net worth, but you don't have to be discouraged, I will give you the opportunity to let you soak in the best woman here. Xu Qing smiled.

"Forget it, I'm not interested in the women here. ”

Carlyle pouted, he had been to New York a few times, and he would always meet a woman who said he was from a poor boy in the country.

Their superior looks made him dislike the women here very much.

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter, at some point in the future, you may want to live here, and when the time comes, either you are interested in them or they are interested in you. ”

"Are you going to start a business in New York, or are you going to buy a house in New York?" Carlyle wondered.

He is Xu Qing's personal bodyguard, and wherever Xu Qing goes, he will follow him.

Xu Qing said that he would live in New York for a certain period of time in the future, indicating that Xu Qing would also be in New York during that time.

Only by opening a company or buying a house in New York can Xu Qing live in New York for a long time.

"It's both, maybe it's going to be living in New York soon, maybe it never will, who knows. ”

Xu Qing's eyes looked at the flickering neon lights on the top of the building opposite, and said in a low voice.

If he wants to make a real career in this era, opening a company in New York is essential.

If all goes well, he may have to open a company in New York after the $300 million plan is completed.
