Chapter 382: Companionship

New York, Manhattan, Pearl Street next to Wall Street.

Zhao Yuanxi and his entourage flew from Boston to New York, and arrived at the company's headquarters on Pearl Street as soon as possible. The so-called company is of course not S.M., but another financial investment subsidiary set up by Zhao Yuanxi in Bermuda.

S.M's U.S. branch is located in Los Angeles on the west coast, because California has the largest Asian population, especially Korean, and it is undoubtedly a very wise move for Lee to set up a branch in Los Angeles.

Compared with Zhao Yuanxi, who founded the subsidiary for the first time, has embarked on a regular and high-speed development, and the employees under his command have also been tripled by Zhao Yuanxi from the original team brought by the Huaxia Qiankun Fund, and many of the original elites have been promoted to management, and there are many more white faces out of thin air.

"Zhao Dong." The people who knew Zhao Yuanxi were all his descendants who he brought out of China, and they saluted him one after another.

Zhao Yuanxi greeted them one by one and went straight to Mu Qingkong's office.

"Hey, buddy, you're finally willing to come back from Korea." Mu Qingkong was sitting on one leg on the desk talking, and when he saw Zhao Yuanxi ending the call without saying a word, he shook his calves and teased.

"Actually, I was passing by." Zhao Yuanxi sat on the black leather sofa and said with a smile.

"You're too inauthentic, you pick up girls by yourself, and let me do the dirty work with Jialou, which can't be said."

"I've heard that you live in the United States very nourishingly, and you have soaked a lot of foreign girls."

"That's," Mu Qingkong raised his chin triumphantly. "Who am I, I'm Mu Qingkong."

"Come on," Zhao Yuanxi restrained his smile, "What's the market trend recently?" ”

Mu Qingkong also put away his cynical expression, took two steps, and said: "The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, the Dow Jones index is oscillating up and down with 11550 as the axis, I estimate that I will choose the direction of the breakthrough in a week at most." ”

"I agree with your judgment, so there are some things I need to hurry."

"For example?"

"For example, the shares of S.M., which Goldman Sachs last commissioned to buy, received about $350 million in short-term loans from banks and the Korean financial market. Today, a third has moved to the United States. So I need people to control the money. ”

"No problem," Mu Qingkong turned over and walked back to the workbench, picked up the handset and pressed the call button, "Let Kurt Swift come over." ”

Zhao Yuanxi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Kurt-Swift?" ”

"The newly recruited financial elite of Garo. Prior to that, he worked at Merrill Lynch. is a senior stockbroker. ”

The two of them were talking. A burly middle-aged white man knocked on the door, his gaze determined and imposing.

"I'll introduce you." Mu Qingkong pointed at Zhao Yuanxi and said, "Zhao Yuanxi, the chairman of our company. He pointed to the burly white man and said, "Kurt Swift, the current head of the company's equity business. ”

"Hello." Zhao Yuanxi got up and shook hands with Kurt Swift, a very powerful palm, more like a boxer than a stockbroker.

The financial tsunami caused by the subprime mortgage crisis first appeared on Wall Street, when Merrill Lynch, where Kurt Swift previously worked, was in financial distress and facing a takeover by Bank of America, he jumped to the company led by Cui Jialou, and won the trust of Cui Jialou and Mu Qingkong with his outstanding ability and calm personality, and promoted him to the head of the stockbroking department.

Zhao Yuanxi briefly introduced his plan to Kurt Swift and did not elaborate, and Kurt Swift nodded his head to show that he understood. The next step was to go to Los Angeles to take over the transfer of funds from South Korea to US dollars.

Jessica and Tiffany stay at a Serviced Residence, a hotel-style accommodation with the concept of an Officetel, and after a short break, the two Girls' Generation returnees were given the first assignment to visit the Bloomingdales department store to interview a well-known makeup artist and include some makeup tips for writing.

After the interview, the day's work was finished, and the rest of the time was free time, and the two returnees went to a well-known hamburger restaurant in New York to eat burgers.

The two of them chose a window seat and bowed their heads to order, Jessica's mobile phone suddenly rang, and while rummaging through the phone in her bag, she pointed to the menu and shouted, "I want a strawberry-flavored milkshake." ”

Looking down and seeing that it was her boyfriend coming, Jessica was overjoyed, she hadn't spoken to Zhao Yuanxi on the phone when she came to New York.

Looking out the window, Jessica said softly, "Shouldn't it be early in the morning in South Korea now?" ”

Zhao Yuanxi's soft laughter came from the receiver of the mobile phone, "Of course it's early in the morning in South Korea now, but I didn't say that I was only in Korea." ”

"Ah," Jessica exclaimed, "and where are you?" ”

"By your side."

Jessica subconsciously turned her head to look behind her, but did not find Zhao Yuanxi's figure, and looked around, looking at the crowd outside the window, trying to find Zhao Yuanxi for a long time without seeing Zhao Yuanxi, pouting and saying, "Liar." ”

"Honey, I kid you not, I'm in New York, in Manhattan, on Third Avenue, on Forty-Nine Street." Zhao Yuanxi didn't say a place name, Jessica raised her eyebrows, and waited for Zhao Yuanxi to finish speaking, Jessica raised her eyebrows, her face was full of surprise, and her mouth was open enough to swallow the whole egg.

"Are you really in New York?" Jessica still couldn't believe that she never expected Zhao Yuanxi to come to New York.

"Of course it's true, where are you? I'm going to pick you up. ”

"We're at Hurger's burger joint."

"Wait for me."

Hanging up, Jessica said to Tiffany, "Don't be busy ordering food yet, he's coming over." ”

"Who is he?" Tiffany asked, looking at the menu.

"He's him, Zhao Yuanxi."

"Yuanxi Oppa?" Tiffany's voice soared instantly, surprised and delighted. "Is Yuanxi Oppa coming to New York as well?"

"He said he would come and pick us up at once and let us wait."

"Wow, that's great."

Zhao Yuanxi took the subsidiary's business car, otherwise it would be good not to pick up people and lose himself as a new person he was not familiar with when he first arrived in New York.

β€œOppa。” Tiffany saw Zhao Yuanxi outside the window from afar, and shook her arms happily, as if Zhao Yuanxi had come to pick her up on purpose.

Zhao Yuanxi smiled, beckoned through the glass window, and motioned for them to go out.

Tiffany didn't say a word, carrying a bag in one hand and holding Jessica in the other, and rushed to Zhao Yuanxi. It was as if I couldn't catch the last train if I was a little late.

Jessica never runs. Tiffany's tow stumbles and almost falls.

"Why did Oppa come to New York?" Seeing Zhao Yuanxi, Tiffany asked curiously.

"Oh, take care of some corporate matters. Are you done with your work for today? ”

"Of course it's done."

"Then let's go eat."

The restaurant Zhao Yuanxi chose is a world-renowned traditional steakhouse, "Smith and Volynsky" steakhouse. Wall Street's financial giants and fashion white-collar workers usually enjoy lunch at famous steakhouses. Restaurants with suits and high-priced menus. Known as Wall Street's "House of Power". The "Smith & Warrensky" steakhouse is one of the most famous, and it is also the annual sky-high charity lunch of Warren Buffett.

Smith & Volynsky's steakhouse is located on the corner of Manhattan's 49th Street and Third Avenue, and it's not hard to find a location. The dark green faΓ§ade and fluttering American flags add a bit of personality to it.

The steakhouse is divided into two parts, the main hall and the secondary hall, the former includes the main body on the first and second floors, with a total of 400 seats; The latter is located on the side of the ground floor and adds fast food such as salads, hamburgers, etc. On the left side of the main hall, there are all kinds of famous wines placed next to the bar, which are very dazzling under the lighting; Featured paintings and photographs of celebrities dining, including the mayor of New York City and some lawmakers, hang on the walls, as well as media coverage of the restaurant.

Warren Buffett's dining place is arranged on a large round table next to the kitchen on the first floor, which can seat seven or eight people, and the chef's work can be seen through the glass curtain wall on the side.

Zhao Yuanxi's choice of this steakhouse is somewhat admirable.

The store is full of customers and is very lively.

The three of them chose a window seat and sat down. The waiter quickly handed over the menu, which cost between thirty and sixty dollars each, with the most expensive dish being the fourteen-ounce Australian lobster, which was worth fifty-nine dollars.

The price can be said to be quite affordable, and many times the meal is not based on the price, but on the dining environment and the people who eat together.

Jessica and Tiffany are very satisfied with this steakhouse, and of course they are even more satisfied with the handsome guy who sat opposite them for dinner, Zhao Yuanxi, who has traveled thousands of miles to fly across the ocean.

The trio each ordered a signature dish of roast beef tenderloin and grilled steak and Australian lobster, and ordered Volynsky bean soup and tomato juice soup. The steak is medium-rare, tender and delicious with dipping sauce, and the soup is more like mush, but it tastes good.

"How's work today?"

"It's an interview with a well-known makeup artist," Jessica said and suddenly approached Zhao Yuanxi and asked with a smile, "Do you think I'm different from usual?" ”

Zhao Yuanxi looked at it intently, nodded and said, "It's indeed different." ”

"Isn't it, what's the difference?"

"It's prettier."

"Cut, let's be specific." Jessica said disappregnantly, brandishing her knife and fork, pretending to be vicious.

Zhao Yuanxi smiled slightly, "How can I say it, the whole person has a complexion, and his face is much ruddy, as if he has changed a person." ”

"You have a vision." Jessica was satisfied.

"What about you, what the hell is coming to New York?"

"I said I flew to New York to accompany you, wouldn't it be fun?" Zhao Yuanxi said with a smile.

Jessica pouted dissatisfiedly, "I know it's a lie, what's there to be happy about." ”

"On the corporate side, I'm going to go to Los Angeles next."

β€œLAοΌŸβ€ Tiffany happily exclaimed, her home was in Los Angeles, and she wanted to go home, "I want to go to LA too." (To be continued......)
