Chapter Twenty-Nine: He's a Genius!
"Lin Feng, don't you have time?...... Now you come to the International Club, and I'll introduce you to a friend. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info" Zhao Jun said with a big grin on the phone.
Lin Feng Weizheng, how could Zhao Jun think of introducing friends to himself?
Raise your hand and look at your watch, it's less than 5 o'clock, this time to go to the international club, that is, it is time to have dinner.
I was puzzled in my heart, but I agreed with a smile in my mouth: "Okay, you Zhao Gongzi have an appointment, and if you don't have time, you have to make time, so it's over...... What kind of friend, do you have to work hard?"
"Well, if you have time, come here, you'll know when you come, we're on the third floor of cigars." β
Hanging up the phone, Lin Feng fell into deep thought.
Zhao Jun has a deep background, since the last time he made friends with skiing, he has also met Zhao Jun and others a few times, going to Chang'an Club to play squash and going to Beijing Club to taste red wine...... , these second generations seem to have nothing to do, and they just gather everywhere every day.
Their so-called business is more of a middleman, using their own network resources to match.
Lin Feng's attitude towards them is that they can make friends, but they dare not make deep friends.
The water in the capital is deep, he is just a small company owner, and before he has enough strength, it is safer to be a man with his tail between his legs.
Zhao Jun has a good personality, although he was a little arrogant when he first met, but after getting acquainted with it, he found that he was still a very nervous and cheerful person, and he had a bottom line in doing things.
Unlike Wang Han, Lin Feng was a little unable to see through.
After thinking carefully about the process of interacting with Zhao Jun before, there seems to be nothing to be wary of, at most, I have made some confident predictions about the development of China's economy that I have experienced for many years, which are all positive energy, and it should be no problem.
It seems that it is just an ordinary introduction to friends.
During this time, after I love music was launched, it made Lin Feng a little famous, perhaps for this reason.
While thinking, I drove downstairs and headed for the International Club.
In the middle, I still remember calling Ye Weiyu and saying that Zhao Jun made an appointment with him, and it is estimated that he will not go back to eat at night, so let Ye Weiyu eat by herself.
Ye Weiyu said with a smile, then she will take her colleagues to go shopping.
Lin Feng smiled arrogantly, buy, buy, buy, it's all mine.

The International Club, located on Jianguomenwai Street, is a joint venture under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China and is a joint venture between BJ Diplomat Corporation (BDS), Sheraton Group of the United States and Sun Hung Kai Properties of Hong Kong.
Its predecessor was the "Xigentry Association" (also known as BJ Ball House) established in 1878 by diplomats, businessmen, and bankers from various countries stationed in Beijing for social and entertainment activities. In the early years, he was in charge of Britain, France, the United States, and Japan.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs took over and changed its name to the "International Club", which was clearly positioned as the purpose of serving diplomats. The "membership system" is still used, and the membership includes diplomats and central government officials from various countries in China.
After the reform and opening up, in order to adapt to the new form, the international club carried out the expansion of Sino-foreign joint ventures, introduced the management of Starwood, opened to the outside world, faced the market, built a new office building, the international club hotel, and in 2001, the international club was named the most high-end "TheSt. Regis" brand (St. Regis) by Starwood, forming a new situation of the current BJ International Club with hotels, office buildings, apartments and recreation.
The International Club Cigar Bar is known as the three major cigar bars in the imperial capital along with the "Havana House Cigar Club" of the Jinglun Hotel and the "Old Jinjiang Cigar Bar" of the Kunlun Hotel.
As one of the famous cigar bars in Beijing, the International Club's Cigar Bar has a private cigar drying box for cigar lovers. Professional equipment and a secluded environment are the selling points here.
With its charming Latin music, soft lighting and comfortable leather sofas, it is worth enjoying not only cigars, but also the most professional cigar service it has in the area, such as the most professional moisturizing system. Cigars purchased here can also be enjoyed at the International Club Cigar Bar: approximately 50 square meters, with a bar serving professional drinks in addition to cigars, a VIP room and a cigar storage room.
It is said that cigar-loving celebrities in the capital often gather here. Jiang Wen, He Ping, Chen Kaige and other super cigar lovers all store their private cigars in the cabinet and smoke them whenever they come.
Lin Feng came to the cigar bar, and when he entered the door, he saw Zhao Jun and a man about 30 years old sitting in the corner by the window, with red wine on the table, and the two were tasting cigars.
Lin Feng walked over and said with a smile: "Zhao Gongzi, you are really leisurely, in the afternoon, you will drink red wine and smoke cigars!"
Zhao Jun laughed and got up and said, "I'm not busier than you are now, I just enjoy life!" Come, let me introduce you, this is my senior brother at Harvard, Joe, Li Dong, and now the managing director of Goldman Sachs Asia. β
Lin Feng was shocked!
It is not easy for such a young person to be able to achieve the position of MD at Goldman Sachs.
Hurriedly stretched out his hand and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Li, fortunately!"
Li Dong smiled and shook hands with him: "Mr. Lin, I have also admired the name for a long time." Fortunately".
Lin Feng sat down and casually observed Li Dong.
He looked calm, wearing a crisp dark blue three-piece suit, a white shirt, a blue and white striped tie, a square scarf and tie on his chest, and exposed cuffs, silver square cufflinks, and a Portugiesque watch...... , sure enough, it is the typical dress of investment bankers.
Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Feng's mind.
It is said that whether it is Menglong, Fengxing, or a small company that is still budding, it is said that it cannot reach the point of attracting the attention of investment banks?
Zhao Jun had already summoned the waiter over, helped Lin Feng add another wine glass, and said with a smile: "You're blessed, try Joe's wine stored here, the 1989 Chateau Lafleu (ChΓ’teau Lafleu)." β
Li Dong smiled and continued: "This wine has a lot of depth, showing rich minerals, earth, dark berries and salty herbs as the core. The aroma is gorgeous, and the flavor is surprisingly long-lasting, and Mr. Lin can taste it. β
Lin Feng smiled bitterly: "I don't know much about red wine, I'm just afraid that Mr. Lin's good wine will be a waste of ...... if I drink it." Turning to the waiter, he said, "Give me a cohibasigloIV".
Compared with red wine, Lin Feng, an old smoker in his previous life, still prefers to smoke cigars.
β¦β¦
Smoky, raise a glass and drink together.
Under Lin Feng's conversation, he slowly heard Li Dong's intentions.
Sure enough, it's the reason why I love music network.
When Li Dong was in the United States, he participated in the merger and acquisition of the old media empire Time Warner (TimeWarner) by the Internet upstart America Online for $181 billion.
Since the beginning of this year, the most eye-catching thing is the emergence of the My Love Music Network these days.
Whether it is the popular national network marketing hype, or the page design of the website is amazing, but what interests Li Dong the most is the ringtone download service provided by Wuai Music.
This is a new business model, combining the Internet and wireless, and finding a new profit point.
Very interesting.
Chatting with Zhao Jun this day, I accidentally talked about it, and Zhao Jun said, "Hey, the boss of this company is my buddy."
There was this meeting.
Lin Feng nodded, approving with Li Dong's vision.
When Li Dong asked him again how to operate this website in the future, Lin Feng's heart suddenly moved.
Managing Director of Goldman Sachs Asia...... , talent!
In the Internet field, there has always been a case of someone with an investment banking background serving as a company executive.
Gu Yongqiang, graduated from Stanford, originally represented Bain Capital's investment, but was poached by Zhang Chaoyang to Sohu as COO, president, and later founded Youku. Tsai Chongxin, a Yale graduate, originally went to talk about investment at the Swedish InvestorAB investment company, but was poached by Ma Yun to Alibaba as the chief financial officer and vice chairman.
Before Lin Feng's rebirth, the latest case was that Liu Qing, managing director of Goldman Sachs Asia, originally talked about investing in Didi, but was poached Didi as co-president.
These talents with investment banking backgrounds and advanced academic qualifications have brought significant improvements in management and capital to the companies they go to.
Is this Li Dong in front of him also such a talent?
Lin Feng's heart was moved, he reversed his previous attitude of not wanting to say more, and began to talk eloquently, from the development of China's economy, the current situation and trend of the Internet, and combined with some foreign cases, from the wireless value-added expansion, the Internet's most important business model, games, social networking, e-commerce and other aspects of Li Dong gave a detailed analysis.
And vaguely revealed that he is not limited to the current business, has set his sights on the future.
Li Dong was shocked, and the confidence and passion surging in the young man in front of him seemed to be something he had gradually lost over ......the years.
And after listening to Lin Feng's words, he was even more shocked.
Goldman Sachs Asia has many elites from the world's top business schools, and the research and analysis they have done on China's Internet industry are not as sophisticated and forward-looking as the young man in front of him to talk casually!
Is there really a business genius in the world?
