General Motors Headquarters in Detroit, Michigan, USA

"Miss Kate, would you have the pleasure of having lunch with you?" Jiang Yelin couldn't see the president of General Motors for a while, and there was always a chance to be the president's secretary in the secretary's office area at the door of the office, and the beautiful secretary with high temples bit her lip and glanced at Jiang Yelin, and snorted, "Thinking about being courteous to others at this time?" I'm sorry, but I didn't have time to go out to eat at noon! Do you think I'm busy with a lot of things? ”

In fact, the president's office of General Motors is not a room, it occupies almost half of the floor on the fifth floor of the general motors headquarters, the president's office is a group of people instead of Kate alone for John Francis Smith Jr, Kate is the chief private secretary, there are several other secretaries in the secretary's office, and the counterpart is in charge of liaising with different subordinate departments, otherwise he is at the helm of the first automobile manufacturer in the United States, how can he be busy with a secretary, Kate can only be regarded as the secretary general manager next to Smith, At this point, there were several calls and people who needed Kate's signature.

At this time, Chambers Fett with a group of experts transferred from the Merrill Lynch headquarters in Manhattan, New York is in full swing to prepare materials, General Motors' style of acting is still quite fast, half a day's effort, the news of the public bidding for the listing of Saturn Motors has been faxed to the headquarters of major brokerages, for a time the eight directions will be in Zhongzhou, Saturn executives with several boxes of financial information from Chunshan, Tennessee also flown over, here General Motors is the chief financial officer Wagner, the chief financial officer of the bidding, The tender team at the headquarters of General Motors has more than 20 members, all of whom are Wagner's accountants, accounting experts and investment advisers.

Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Salomon Brothers, KKR, a large group of leading investment banks and brokerages in the U.S. securities market gathered in Detroit with their own expert teams to grab the Saturn Auto IPO listing underwriting this large order with a financing amount of at least billions of dollars, this is not a small business, this is related to the performance status and ranking of major investment banks and brokerages in the industry! No one can miss this big order in the automobile manufacturing industry! If this order is completed, then maybe more subsidiaries under General Motors will be spun off and packaged! Who can ignore this huge potential gold mine?!

In comparison, Merrill Lynch is only the general manager of the central sales department, Chambers Fit, which inevitably makes other competitors wonder, is Merrill Lynch sure to win this big order? Or is Chambers Fett going to be promoted to the vice president level of GPC? In any case, no one dares to underestimate Merrill Lynch's strong strength and influence, not to mention Chambers Fitter's seniority and reputation in the industry.

"Miss Kate, I booked a table at the French restaurant on the top floor of the Shelby Suites...... You must come......" The young fund manager of Merrill Lynch said this sentence in Kate's ear, and walked away in a dashing manner, in exchange for the light of the beautiful secretary, but what the girl thought in her heart, only she knew.

Half an hour later, a beautiful woman in professional clothes wearing a coat and a hat and sunglasses appeared at the door of the French restaurant on the top floor of the five-star Shelby Suites Hotel. Please ...... here."

The five-star hotel rooms in Detroit are actually not expensive, and the average suite is the standard of 200-300 US dollars a night, but the reputation of this Shelby Suites Hotel is that it is a three-Michelin-starred French blue diamond restaurant on the top floor, which is called a luxurious and expensive outrageous, and the average person who eats is 180 US dollars, which is not much worse than the ultra-luxury top restaurants in Manhattan, New York, which are limited in 93 years, and the top ten most expensive restaurants in the world are only 200 US dollars to 400 US dollars per capita.

"Miss Kate...... It's an honor to have lunch with you......" Jiang Yelin, who changed back into a suit and leather shoes, stood up intimately and moved the chair for the beautiful secretary, and waited for the girl to sit back in his seat with a smile.

"You can call me Rachel, Mr.Ye, and to be honest, I'm not sure if I should accept your invitation, is this the first date for the two of us?" Kate holds celibacy on the issue of marriage, but this does not mean that girls don't like to have boyfriends, it's just that Kate's eyes are above the top, the annual salary of 200,000 yuan of GM's president secretary makes it possible to enter Kate's eyes There are not many suitable objects, most of the hairy young men in their early 20s have no career success, and most of them still have an annual salary of less than 60,000, and most of the guys who have a successful career around 30 years old have families and children.

"Rachel? Okay, my dear Rachel, I'm glad you came to the appointment, of course this can be regarded as a date, but I am a person who has a clear distinction between public and private, if I had known that it was a date, I should have chosen a more cost-effective roadside restaurant, and now, okay, this is your first date, at most I won't take the bill back to the company to reimburse...... Oh, you can call me Ye or Django, you can ......" Jiang Yelin laughed Kate from the beginning, of course the girl knew that Jiang Yelin didn't just come to pick up girls, no matter how expensive the consumption of this Michelin three-star restaurant is, Merrill Lynch Securities should pay for it.

Rachel-Kate is obviously no stranger to the menu of this three-Michelin three-star luxury restaurant, and the two quickly ordered the meal, after all, this is not the time for a candlelight dinner, and they have to work in the afternoon, so both of them order business meals, even so, this price is quite luxurious if you consume it yourself, and the average restaurant is afraid that 50 US dollars per person has already ordered the best dishes of others.

"Rachel, you know the last time I came to see Mr. Smith, the communication between the two sides was very frank and productive, of course, I am certainly not too familiar with the internal situation of General Motors, the turmoil in the board of directors seems to have Mr. Smith has the upper hand and got what he wants, that is, to promote the listing of Saturn Motors, but why, the matter of Saturn Motors IPO has started bidding with great fanfare? Even if you need to bid, you can do it without public bidding, right? I heard that you are a top student in the business school, I wonder if you can guide me through the maze?"

When Jiang Yelin said this, his hand was placed on the back of Kate's hand, this kind of skin-to-skin contact that could only be had between lovers or close friends who were very familiar with each other, but at this moment it seemed so natural and unpretentious, Kate instinctively wanted to withdraw his hand and felt that he was too reserved, but the handsome Asian guy in front of him underestimated him, his face was unnaturally flushed, and his beautiful blue eyes looked at Jiang Yelin with disgust, "Ye, you are too straightforward, people are still enjoying their first date with a man in half a year." , can you put things at work in the past? Besides, I can't sell the company's interests, can I? ”

"Believe me, Rachel, you are protecting the interests of General Motors and your bosses, not betraying them, Merrill Lynch and I are your best choice, if you miss Merrill Lynch and me, it will be an irreparable loss for General Motors...... Yesterday my boss's boss, Mr. Geco, was in the dust, and I am afraid that for me, who has just started to show my skills, my career at Merrill Lynch is likely to change heavily because of the Saturn Motors IPO list......"

Jiang Yelin's words did not convince Rachel Kate, of course, the girl seems to have heard of Merrill Lynch, a young fund manager, who is known as a genius who only comes out in twenty years, but now that a mere Saturn car IPO list can't be solved and begins to use beautiful men to deal with herself, can this be regarded as a table of genius? Kate really doesn't know about the G3 fund's anti-heaven table.

"What? Don't you believe it? Rachel, I am optimistic about the future of General Lynch after the transformation, I want to promote the cooperation between Merrill Lynch and General Motors, this is called a strong alliance, if General Motors misses the opportunity to become a strategic partner with Merrill Lynch, it must be a disaster, do you know what the stock price of General Lynch is today? Jiang Yelin grabbed the girl's hand and didn't let go, with persistence and confidence in his tone, and even, a hint of pride.

"General Motors' share price? It was 62.125 when I opened in the morning, and it was 62.225 when I left the company at noon, which is $2 higher than two days ago! I'm not derelict as the president's secretary, right? Miss Kate had a confident smile on her face, and the Saturn Motors' plan to go public was interpreted by the industry as two completely different opinions, one side believed that this was the beginning of the collapse of the GM empire, and GM shares should be thrown out.

The other point of view is that this is the beginning of the rebirth of the great General Motors empire, which is a huge positive for General Motors, and a huge threat and blow to opponents in the same industry.

Rachel Kate is a distant niece of GM's president and CEO, Yu Gong is the secretary to the president of GM, and Kate, who has a high salary of 200,000 yuan, thinks that the listing of Saturn Motors is a big deal and a good thing for Uncle Smith and General Motors, so of course it should be a good thing for GM's performance on the stock market, so it is normal for GM's stock price to rise!

"Mannie, inform Dominic to start short selling from the current price, yes, all short selling until I tell you in the morning and then close the position!" Jiang Yelin picked up his mobile phone and called his secretary in front of Kate!
