Chapter 14 Doing as the Locals Practice
The two executives of Liang's Investment have been in contact with this Mr. Zhao for a moment, and they can't help it.
Mr. Zhao, who has a primary school education, has excellent insight. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info\\, qb5//Every time people admire in their hearts, this person was born for big scenes, and he still has no stage fright in New York. This person likes to get things done without leaks. According to Mr. Zhao's character, the army must first pave roads and build bridges when crossing the border, and it will definitely not be easy until he feels that he is nine out of ten.
Zhao Daxi will definitely not be stupid enough to think of himself. He can play Wall Street, even if he wants to play Wall Street with all the strength of the country, it is just a dream. This is the most regulated capital market in the world, but it is not as bad as the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
If you really want to mobilize tens of billions of dollars to short U.S. stocks at every turn, as written, I'm afraid that you will have to be blacklisted within three days, and freezing your account is not negotiable, Americans are not as stupid as written, on the contrary, people are still very shrewd. When it comes to other people's national security, how can Americans be merciful to you? Once it comes to the bottom line of national security, satellites in the sky. I'm afraid that the spies on the ground will be everywhere and watch you 24 hours a day.
He was still thinking crankily in his mind, Rena had already brought a few people over, and at noon that day, Liang and Zhao invited them to dinner, and talked about Shanda Group's listing plan in the U.S. stock market. Zhao Daxi put down his body and obediently became a listener, and Nalan Qing gave him a translation next to his ear and told him the content of the conversation.
At this time, Liang Xincheng was in high spirits. Liang's Investment has made a lot of money in this year's U.S. stock gold rush, and has faintly squeezed from a third-rate investment company to a first-class financial investment company in one fell swoop. Of course, in addition to strength, you also need connections, and it is not that you can get everything done with money, and you also need a huge network of interpersonal relationships in addition to money, which is also the most lacking characteristic of Liang's Investment, and there are still several big steps to go from the top investment companies on Wall Street.
Zhao Daxi asked himself if he could help much, he had a specialization in the art industry, and this matter was not within his ability. His brain is also turning fast, he accompanied Liang Xincheng to meet a guest, and his brain has a general strategy, what he is good at is still building momentum, or to portray himself as a positive and enlightened Chinese businessman, deceiving foreigners in exchange for a little applause. In Lin Haiyan's words, he is going to pretend to be a ghost again.
At noon that day, in the hotel room, Zhao Daxi asked Nalan Qing to go out and inquire. Were there any fundraisers such as charity galas on these two days?
Rena, who followed the room, suddenly snorted and smiled: "There are more charity parties here than fleas, and I know that there is a fundraiser for the World Cancer Fund tonight, at Rockefeller Center." ”
Zhao Daxi showed a sincere expression on his face again, and asked Miss Rena to open the door and get two invitations to enter the venue. Although the American girl was a little embarrassed, she nodded easily, and looked at Zhao Daxi with a slightly strange look before leaving, this is also a very smart woman, and she kind of understands what this Mr. Zhao wants to do.
As soon as Rena pushed the door out, Liang Xincheng asked with a puzzled face: "Zhao Daxi, are you sick?" You have a lot of money and you have nowhere to spend it, right, what are you doing at the charity donation party? ”
Zhao Daxi didn't pretend to hear at all, and the person walked to the window and looked outside for a while, before he happily asked: "Brother Xincheng, do you know what kind of image the Chinese have in the eyes of Americans, and I mean Chinese businessmen, especially financial investment businessmen like you." ”
Liang Xincheng was still angry: "I don't care what image he is, I just care about making money." ”
Zhao Daxi didn't mind, and threw the question to Nalan Eye: "Lan, what do you say?" ”
Nalan lowered his head and thought for a while, but he still spoke calmly: "The image of Chinese businessmen on Wall Street, uh, greedy, selfish, miser. ”
Zhao Daxi couldn't help but laugh and stretched out a thumbs up to her, if this was said by someone else, maybe Liang Xincheng would have turned his face in a big way, but he said such a few words from Nalan Chai's mouth, even if Young Master Liang was dissatisfied, he had no way to vent his dissatisfaction, although he didn't want to admit it, he also knew that Nalan Qing was telling the truth. After an awkward silence in the room, Zhao Daxi, who was standing in front of the window, turned around again.
When he spoke, there was a strange look in his eyes: "Brother Xincheng, do you want to play Wall Street, listen to me." ”
The room included Liang Xincheng and several of his subordinate executives, and even Nalan Qing and Xiao Dong were dumbfounded. I couldn't help but stare at his radiant black face and was so surprised that I couldn't speak. Zhao Daxi turned his head again, looking at the depressed night view of Wall Street outside the window, and the image with his chin propped up looked like a wise man.
When he spoke again, there was a hint of gasping in his tone: "This place has been depressed since the incident, except for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, most banks and funds have moved their headquarters to New Jersey, only Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch are still sticking to a few streets not far from here, ha, if you want to buy a property, it is best to go to Midtown Manhattan, and the land price in that place is about to rise." ”
He made these novel remarks with his chin propped up, and the people behind him looked at each other, and then looked back at him as if they were looking at a monster from history. I really don't know where Mr. Zhao's insights came from, and I don't know if these novel remarks are true or false.
When everyone was stunned, there was a knock on the door outside, and Xiao Dong, who was closest to the door, subconsciously opened the door.
Rainer, who was wearing a tweed coat, waved proudly: "The invitation to the World Gangrene Fund fundraising party has arrived." ”
Zhao Daxixiang didn't hear it at all, walked to Liang Xincheng's side in a few steps, and said with a smile: "Brother, if you want to play Wall Street, you have to integrate into American society first." "Let me ask you the simplest question, do you know what is the most prosperous industry in New York?" ”
Liang Xincheng asked blankly: "Which line is not the financial investment industry?" ”
Zhao Daxi's face turned pale and he corrected him very seriously: "Wrong, New York is the most prosperous industry." It's philanthropy. ”
As soon as these words came out, all the men were in an uproar, and they naturally refused to believe it in their hearts, only Na Lanqing showed a serious thinking expression on her face, and Rena, who was standing at the door, was also stunned when she heard Mr. Zhao's novel remarks, and she was obviously startled, and unconsciously showed a serious thinking expression. Zhao Daxi shocked everyone with a few words, and then grabbed his coat and put it on.
He waved his hand at Liang Xincheng again: "Let's get dressed and go, it's not close to walk to Central Manhattan." ”
Liang Xincheng and a few of his subordinates glanced at each other again, although the fox butterflies got up one after another and went back to their rooms to get dressed and go downstairs, a large group of people were always on the neat and tidy streets, and there was a faint feeling of wonder in their hearts. When I walked into the middle side of Manhattan, everyone suddenly opened up, and the mood was even more weird, it turned out that Mr. Zhao was right, the middle side was really much more lively than Wall Street, and I couldn't bear to shiver together.
When walking past the Trinity Church, Zhao Daxi made another high-minded remark: "Let me tell you a joke, many bankers and fund managers on Wall Street will take advantage of the lunch break to come to the church to pray first, and then go back to the stock trading floor in the afternoon to fight, it's funny." ”
As soon as the words were finished, everyone was silent for a while, and Miss Reina's eyes flashed with a thrilling look, and she smiled toothily and said nothing.
In the evening, the scene of the charity fundraising dinner in the middle side of Manhattan, an official occasion.
A large group of policemen with guns on their waists at the door checked the documents and invitation letters of Liang and Zhao, and changed their previous arrogant attitude.
He respectfully saluted the two of them in an American manner, and his attitude became kind: "Distinguished Chinese friends, you can each bring an assistant to the venue, welcome to New York." ”
Zhao Daxi smiled happily and straightened his waist, and led Nalan Qing into the hall, Liang Xincheng and several of his executives glanced at each other, and when they heard the word honorable, they were still stunned and their scalps were numb, and New York had been here several times, and it was the first time for the American police to be so polite, and they were allowed to bring personal bodyguards when they entered the official occasion. It seems that Zhao Daxi is really a bit of a ghost.
After entering the dinner hall, Young Master Liang was even more shocked at a glance and was speechless, and finally knew that what Zhao Daxi said was right, he still couldn't understand the decent people on Wall Street, how did he hide at night, and no one paid attention to him when he wanted to meet a few people.
Liang Xincheng's assistant glanced over. Frightened, he shuddered: "That's not Bill Gates?" ”
Liang Xincheng also grinned twice: "The one next to Bill Gates is Donald, Cohen, vice chairman of the Federal Reserve." ”
Of course, there are also many guards around big names like Bill Gates, and many police officers in suits form a barrier to separate the leading figures of American society from the crowd. Liang Xincheng and his assistant glanced at each other again, and for the first time felt that their brains were not enough. Only then did I know what it means to follow the customs of the locals, and the customs of this foreigner are too surprising. When both of them felt a little wooden, Zhao Daxi was already waving to him over there.
Liang Xincheng whispered this time, and he was a little apprehensive: "How much is appropriate to donate tonight, I didn't bring much cash with me to the United States this time." ”
Zhao Daxi laughed in his heart and whispered: "This is a private fundraising dinner, donating too much will make people think of crazy people, two or three hundred thousand dollars is enough." ”
Liang Xincheng nodded when he heard it again, and realized that he was like a dumb bird in front of Zhao Daxi. There is a faint ecstasy in my heart, since I have touched the door, it will be easy to do, and I will come to such occasions a few more times in the future, and I can know so many celebrities without spending much money, who can I reason with. After a long time of trouble, American socialites don't like sea cucumber cannon fish, don't like Moutai, and don't like sauna bathing, no wonder he has been to New York a few times and always has a clue.
After following Zhao Daxi in a circle, he was suddenly kicked by Zhao Daxi when he was in a trance, only to find that under the vigilant gaze of several American men in suits, it was the world premier Bill Gates, Liang Xincheng suddenly stood upside down and quickly reached out and said a few words to Bill Gates.
Late night hours, hotel rooms.
As soon as the net entered the door, Liang Xincheng looked excited, and smashed it with a punch: "It's still you, I see that there is a door this time!" ”
Zhao Daxi flashed his fist, put his shoulder on his shoulder and muttered, "Do you want to be friends with Bidrout Gates?" It's not difficult, as long as you have some financial resources to come out and join Bill Gates's private charity club, ha, it's not difficult to call Bill Gates brothers
Liang Xincheng's eyes flashed, knowing that this time he received Zhao Daxi's order, and spent a mere 200,000 US dollars to shake hands with Bill Gates, as long as he attended such a charity event a few more times to make friends, the rich returns that a little charity donation can get back can never be measured by numbers alone. With his connections, his Liang family invested. Squeezing into a super-first-class investment institution is just around the corner.
Zhao Daxi still got down in his room, discussing with his subordinates how much money was appropriate, and he still took Xiao Dong and Nalan Qing to the restaurant on the top floor of the hotel to sit for a while, no one could sleep tonight, and even Xiao Dong and Nalan Guess were a little too excited.
After sitting for a while and chatting a few words, Nalan also clapped his hands and admired: "There are many such charity dinners in Hong Kong, but they are not as formal as those in the United States" I have also attended many times with my father, why didn't I think there would be this trick, if you want to integrate into American society, you must understand American culture, Mr. Zhao is wise. ”
Zhao Daxi smiled proudly, and wanted to tell her that I also knew these things from an American variety show called "Feihuang Tengda", of course, I can only hold this in my heart, and I really can't say it and leak it. His knowledge of American culture, although limited to the developed network a few years later, is still the best he knows.
Looking around, I couldn't help but ask, "What about the Rena people?" ”
Xiao Dong, who was eating next to him, hurriedly replied: "Just left, let's go home." Zhao Daxi also didn't care, he felt very proud in his heart, with his point Liang Xincheng is such a smart person, he naturally knows how to spend a small amount of money to do big things, as long as Liang's investment can really gain a firm foothold on Wall Street and successfully squeeze into the top ranks. If he wants to complete the overseas restructuring plan of the Beishan Group, it is not so far away.
Xiao Dong was eating something in his mouth, but he also said something clear: "Brother Zhao, I understand a little." This New York charity gala is like our Dongguan Bar and Courtyard, which is a place for rich people to socialize, right? The membership card of the Bill Gates Charitable Foundation is like the VIP gold card of our palace bar, which is a very scarce thing. ”
Nalan secretly heard what he said so unbearable. couldn't help but smack him lightly, Zhao Daxi couldn't help but laugh and praise him, boy, you have grown into this, let you see it, a little bit of your brother Zhao and my demeanor. They laughed for a while, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.
Zhao Daxi was lying on the bed in the hotel room, and his confidence was slowly built, and what about Wall Street, Lao Tzu still played around.
