Chapter 003 The Trip to the United States
"Archie, her name is Pei Yuying, and the most capable accountant in our 'Baibao Antique Workshop' is her. Ah Ying, this is my grandson Gu Weiqi, you can call him Archie. ”
Gu Weiqi looked at the accountant that his grandfather found from the antique workshop, twenty-four or five years old, tall, with a round and smooth face, quite a peugeot, black hair draped in curls on his right chest, a crystal clear necklace around his neck, a red snow textile dress, and a pair of black high heels under his feet, the whole person gave people a demure intellectual beauty.
"Hello Sister Pei." Gu Weiqi stepped forward and shook hands with the other party, and asked with a smile: "Let grandpa come to you today, the main reason is that I plan to do some business in the United States, I hope you can help me take care of the finances, the treatment is definitely higher than that of you in Xiangjiang, I don't know if Sister Pei is interested in going to the United States to develop?" ”
Pei Yuying thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, for me, as long as the salary is okay, it doesn't matter where I go to develop." ”
"Then I hope we have a good time working together." Gu Weiqi turned his head and looked at his grandfather again and said, "Grandpa, I'll go with Sister Pei to apply for a visa and buy a ticket now." Let's fly to the United States tomorrow, what do you think? ”
The old man nodded happily and said, "Okay, just listen to you, grandpa will go to the bank to prepare money immediately, and we will go to the country tomorrow." ”
"Then let's go, Sister Pei." Gu Weiqi took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and led Pei Yuying to a "Harley" 150 motorcycle.
The motorcycle was obviously modified, with tires almost as big as a sedan, and a streamlined body that was pitch black throughout, like a little monster. Gu Weiqi learned from the memories he received that this was the special car of the "predecessor". It was the old man who spent nearly 50,000 Hong Kong dollars to customize it for his baby grandson, and at that time the exchange rate between Hong Kong dollars and the US dollar was 4.6:1, and 50,000 Hong Kong dollars was still very valuable, and he was able to buy a good car. It shows how much he dotes on his grandson.
Gu Weiqi pushed out the motorcycle from the garage and started, turned his head to look at Pei Yuying and said, "Come up, Sister Pei." ”
The other party said uneasily: "Are you good at technology?" No, I'll drive it. ”
"Okay." Gu Weiqi said briskly and moved back.
Pei Yuying sat in the driver's seat, Gu Weiqi reached out from behind and hugged her waist, only to feel that this woman's lower abdomen was smooth and there was no fat. And there is a unique fragrance of women on her body, and she can't help but sigh secretly, this woman is really good, and she can hook up with each other when she has time in the future.
Just when the thought was spinning in his heart, Pei Yuying reminded him to "Hug me tight, Archie", and left the villa.
After handling the visa and air ticket, Gu Weiqi went to the stock exchange to cash out the gold futures he bought, and made a total profit of 5 million Hong Kong dollars in just 80 days. This kind of speed of making money is not fast.
Financial markets are like this, one moment may be a bright spring, the next moment it can turn into a storm. One moment it hurts, the next moment it may be a twist and turn. It is these uncertainties that make this market full of religious mystery and charm!
It is precisely because of this that the financial market is like a huge magnet, attracting countless speculators to indulge in it every day. This market is not so much a playground for everyone to participate in, but a huge battleground. Idealists, devastated by the market, have learned pragmatic truths; People with shallow thoughts, in just a few years, have experienced more joys, sorrows, and sorrows than ordinary people in a lifetime, so as to comprehend philosophical truths. A wise man like Zhuge will know that too many accidents can shake the self-confidence of "wisdom beads in hand".
The next day, the three of them stepped on the plane to Los Angeles, and after getting off the plane, it was the afternoon of March 12, 1980.
Gu Weiqi found a bank, took out the 6 million Hong Kong dollars in the account, exchanged it for 1.42 million US dollars, and then found a hotel to stay. The next day, an announcement was made in the Los Angeles Times, indicating that it was seeking to buy a publishing house that was bankrupt or about to go bankrupt.
Two days later, a self-proclaimed "Sendy. Norton" called him and said he was interested in selling a publishing house. After receiving the call, Gu Weiqi made an appointment with the other party to meet the place, and rushed over with his grandfather and Pei Yuying.
In a café, Gu Weiqi and several people met each other, this is a typical Western woman, blonde hair and blue eyes, about twenty-four or five years old, according to the aesthetic standards of Westerners, she can be called a beauty.
However, Gu Weiqi has no interest in picking up girls now. You must know that before he was reborn, he worked hard in the entertainment industry for nearly 20 years before he mixed up with Dian Mingtang. Who knew that the ambition would not be rewarded, and a fire would burn the fruits of his nearly twenty years of hard work to ashes. Fortunately, God gave me the opportunity to start over, and it is imperative to take the opportunity to get more money first. As for beautiful women, famous cars, mansions...... All of these will be available in the future.
Xian Di glanced at Pei Yuying and Old Man Gu, and found that Gu Weiqi was the "main master" among the three, so she paid attention to him, a typical Asian face, fifteen or sixteen years old, just over one meter seven in height, but the body shape was very well-proportioned. A pair of Danfeng eyes are bright and bright. Although it is casually dressed and looks cheap, it is difficult to hide its smart temperament.
In particular, the soft lines that are like a stroke of genius express the contours of his face vividly. Handsome but not feminine, masculine but not coarse. If it weren't for the fact that there was still a trace of childishness on his face, he would definitely be a rare handsome guy. However, with the uninhibited smile full of sunshine at the corners of the water chestnut's mouth, it seems to be teasing women's nerves all the time, and it really has the innate conditions that make any girl who is just starting to fall in love favor.
Although Cindy is a mature woman, she is still full of affection for this heroic young man.
After several people met through a brief conversation, Gu Weiqi learned that this woman had a "Norton Press" in her hands, which was originally her father's company. It's a pity that my father died of a serious illness last year. And she just graduated from college, because she can't find a good book to publish, and now the company can't continue to operate. He was even responsible for up to $300,000 and is now facing bankruptcy. If Gu Weiqi is interested in acquiring it, he only needs to pay her $400,000.
For Gu Weiqi, who has just withdrawn more than $1 million, there is naturally no pressure to pay a mere $400,000. But let's see how the factory is doing. Naturally, Cindy has no opinion on this.
Then Xiandi took him, the old man and Pei Yuying to the printing factory in the western suburbs of Los Angeles. Gu Weiqi took a closer look, the factory covers an area of 200 square meters, and the printing equipment is ninety percent new, which has obviously just been updated. It's just that the other party's father was unlucky, and he hung up due to illness shortly after the device was updated. And this is the main reason why "Norton Press" is in debt of 300,000 US dollars.
Buying such a large factory and publishing house in Los Angeles for 400,000 US dollars, the land alone can appreciate dozens or hundreds of times in value, which is definitely earned, not to mention so much equipment and raw materials. However, after discussing with his grandfather and Pei Yuying, Gu Weiqi still lowered the price of 50,000 US dollars.
In order to pay off the debt as soon as possible, Sendy was in a hurry to get rid of it, so she readily agreed. Otherwise, the daily bank interest alone would be too much for her to bear.
However, Gu Weiqi made a request, that is, he hoped that the other party could continue to manage the publishing house. After all, he is not familiar with the publishing industry in the United States, and it is naturally necessary to find someone who is familiar with the publishing industry to manage the company.
Of course, the conditions he offered were also very generous, in addition to paying the other party 350,000 US dollars, he injected another 300,000 US dollars into the publishing house to maintain daily expenses; In addition, 1% of the other party's dry shares will be given. The unemployment rate in the country is very high, and it is not easy to find a job that is easy and can earn a high salary.
The main reason is that since the second oil crisis occurred last year, it has indirectly caused a sharp decline in industrial production and a marked slowdown in economic growth. Unemployment remains high and competition in the workplace is fierce. Although Xiandi graduated from Harvard University with a degree in business management, it is not easy to find a good job in a country where college students grab a lot of money.
Especially Gu Weiqi's treatment conditions for her were very good, so she agreed to this request without much consideration.
The next step was relatively simple, Gu Weiqi found a lawyer from a local law firm with a good reputation, and signed a written contract with Xiandi. After paying the money, Gu Weiqi installed Pei Yuying, a professional accountant, as the company's financial director to supervise the company's financial trends. After all, he can't stay in the company all day, which is of course necessary. In order to make the other party work harder, he also gave her 2% of the dry shares in private.
After buying "Norton Press", Gu Weiqi naturally couldn't use this name anymore, so he changed his name to "Xinqi International Press", and then showed Xiandi the four novels he wrote. After the other party read it, she almost regretted it, according to her, with these four novels, the publishing house will soon be profitable.
Gu Weiqi smiled at this, if there were no four novels, why would he spend so much money to buy a publishing house that was facing bankruptcy? Fortunately for Xianti, the boss also gave her 1% of the dry shares. The publishing house will make money in the future, and naturally she will be able to make some money with it.
Of course, according to the requirements of the contract, once the other party leaves the company, then Gu Weiqi can recover the one percent of the dry shares at any time.
After everything was done, Gu Weiqi injected $300,000 into the company, and Xiandi began to devote himself to the intense publishing and distribution work. Naturally, he didn't have to worry about all this. However, he asked the other party to publish "E-T Alien" first, mainly because he was afraid of colliding with Spielberg, and the joke would be bigger.
Then let grandpa go back to Xiangjiang first, after all, the antique shop over Xiangjiang still needs the old man to preside over the overall situation, and he will definitely not be able to stay in the United States for too long. He went to the New York Board of Trade and used a financial leverage of 1:400 to buy $700,000 in gold futures.
At the same time, he rented an apartment and began to plagiarize the manga "Transformers", "Macross Macross", "Dragon Ball" and "Men in Black".
His drawing skills are certainly not comparable to those professional cartoonists. Fortunately, in the years before being reborn, in the entertainment industry, in order to draw storyboard scripts, I also worked hard to learn painting skills from professional painters for a period of time. Especially if I have seen these original anime works on the Internet, it is naturally not difficult to drum them out now.
