In the black Cadillac van heading to the Langham Place Hotel on Fifth Avenue, Lu Jing slowly put down his mobile phone.

Tang Shijing represented Tang Group in Huanghai to deal with the follow-up turmoil of Pinghong Fund. Quite a few people in the Yellow Sea high society circle were involved. There are also people in the Tang family circle who are involved in it. For some fixed assets that need to be auctioned, Tang Group can start.

Langham Place New York Fifth Avenue is located in the heart of Manhattan, close to famous landmarks such as the Empire State Building, Grand Central Terminal and Times Square. , a combination of noble style and understated fashion design, and New York, the cultural capital, complement each other.

In the night, Lu Jing, Xu Xue, and Chen Xujiang walked into the hotel and went to the banquet hall on the 16th floor. After registering at the entrance of the banquet hall, the hotel waiter will lead you into the reception. At this time, the time is 7:10 p.m.

The huge and magnificent banquet hall covers more than 2,000 square meters, and the precious carpet and elegant mahogany veneer show the fashion taste of modern Europe, all of which show the restrained luxury and wealth. The guests who had already come to the reception were chatting in twos and threes.

Lu Jing, Chen Xujiang, and Xu Xue arrived relatively early, and they were casually communicating with the guests in the banquet hall. and Bear Stearns' vice presidents, Bill Byron and Shuichi Takeshita, all had a brief chat in turn. An hour later, the banquet began.

The host of the banquet, Bill Charles, vice chairman of JPMorgan Chase, was a round-faced American with gray hair. He is in his fifties, and the wrinkles under his eyes and face are quite noticeable. Eyes with a critical gaze.

As the host of the banquet, after the guests have taken the wine and food. Bill Charles began to greet the guests with his glass. When they arrived at Lu Jing and the others, Lu Jing, Chen Xujiang, and Xu Xue were chatting with several businessmen involved in the electronics industry.

Bill Charles smiled and raised his glass to Chen Xujiang, "Chen, I heard Bill Byron say about you. Hwa Bank is an emerging commercial bank in Asia. This time, our investment department in the Asia Pacific region has lost to you. ”

Chen Xujiang sipped the red wine lightly and said with a gentle smile: "Chairman Charles, I have had several exchanges with Mr. Mickey Xia in Hong Kong. I believe that with the ability of Mr. Mitch Xia, we did not win. ”

Now that international oil prices are high, there are already voices saying that oil prices will rise to a historic $90 this year. Xia Rulong is long in reverse. Didn't let JPMorgan Chase lose money.

"Didn't win" is a mild rebuttal based on facts. This little language skill made Bill Charles laugh and know more about Chen Xujiang. Well, it's just a staged failure. In the two months that oil prices have risen, Mitch Xia has made his oil futures position profitable.

Several businessmen who were talking to Chen Xujiang and his party laughed. Bill Charles chatted with Chen Xujiang with great interest, and his eyes fell on Xu Xue and Lu Jing who were standing beside Chen Xujiang. smiled and said, "Chen, don't you introduce you and Hua's young people to me?" ”

Chen Xujiang is 50 years old, Xu Xue is 30 years old, and Lu Jing is 26 years old. Speaking of which, Lu Jing and Xu Xue, who were standing beside Chen Xujiang, did belong to the category of young people. Bill Charles thought that Chen Xujiang brought Hehua's young people to the drinking party to increase his experience.

"It's what you want." Chen Xujiang smiled with a wine glass and introduced Lu Jing and Xu Xue. "Mr. Charles, this is the director of our Hehua company, Lu Jing. This is the president of Hehua Bank, Xu Xue. ”

Chen Xujiang's words surprised Bill Charles. looked at Xu Xue and Lu Jing. This young man and woman are in high positions within Hehua. "It really surprised me. Director Lu and President Xu are surprisingly young. ”

Xu Xue and Lu Jing greeted with a smile and said a few words modestly.

Chen Xujiang struck while the iron was hot: "Director Lu single-handedly created the brilliance of Jinghua mobile phone. ”

"Jinghua mobile phone? Oh——, I have an impression..."Bill Charles nodded his forehead with his thick fingers. The year before last, Jinghua's mobile phone was investigated by the security department in China. Half-jokingly asked: "Director Lu, is Jinghua Mobile interested in going public in New York?" J.P. Morgan can provide consulting services in this regard. ”

Xu Xue's heart tightened slightly. She knew the significance of Jinghua Communication to Lu Jing. He had not accepted shares from other unrelated people at all. Not to mention that the listing is subject to the supervision of the Americans.

Lu Jing said with a smile: "If Jinghua Communications meets the listing conditions of the New York Stock Exchange, I will definitely come to New York to visit Chairman Charles." He gave a mock-up answer.

If Jinghua Communication is to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. JPMorgan underwrote shares in Jinghua Communications, which would be a multibillion-dollar deal. Bill Charles had a faint stir in his heart. Of course, he knew it would be difficult to convince clients to come to New York to go public in the first meeting.

After thinking about it, Bill Charles said, "Chen, let me introduce you to Frank Pittman, the chairman of JPMorgan Chase. Everyone, please be with us. Bill Charles said to several other businessmen, and took Chen Xujiang, Xu Xue, and Lu Jing to meet Frank Pittman, the chairman of JPMorgan Chase.

Lu Jing and Xu Xue were slightly half a step behind, exchanging glances with each other, revealing joy. The ultimate goal of tonight's lobbying is to lobby the real power figure of JPMorgan Chase, Andy Morgan. Lobbying JPMorgan management was the next best option.

According to the plan discussed at the Four Seasons, their minimum goal was to take the opportunity to chat with Bill Charles and make a point about oil prices. Since Bill Charles is willing to invite He Hua to a cocktail party between JPMorgan Chase shareholders, he must be very interested in listening to Hehua's explanation.

I didn't expect Bill Charles to be willing to introduce Frank Pittman, the chairman of JPMorgan Chase, to them.

It should have been Uncle Chen's cousin Xiàn and Jinghua Communications' interest in going public that prompted Bill Charles to make this decision. It was a bonus.

To use a figurative analogy, he successfully lobbied Bill Charles, and Hua's game PR progress reached 60%. Reach the passing line. And if you can lobby JPMorgan Chase Chairman Frank Pittman, it will push the PR progress to 80%.

Of course. If Andy Morgan can be persuaded to accept Hehua's point of view, then the PR progress should be off the charts. 120%。

Frank Pittman chats with a group of people on the west side of the ballroom. Frank Pitman is 49 years old and has a square face. Full of hair. Listen to his assistant Bill Charles introduce Asia's banker Chen Xujiang.

When Lu Jing and others came to JPMorgan Chase's cocktail party, they would naturally learn about Frank Pittman.

This Wall Street legend, a financial genius, has worked for American Express, Blossom Group, and First Bank of Chicago. He was the youngest president of a Fortune 500 company during his tenure as president of Primerica.

Frank Pittman is one of Fortune magazine's 25 most influential business leaders in the world. Warren Buffett once commented on him: "Frank is the best banker I have ever met." ”

One of the five most powerful bankers in the United States, second only to Sandy Weir, CEO of the Flower Group. There's no doubt about it: Frank Pittman is a Wall Street power figure, a formidable banker.

Frank Pittman exchanged a few words with Chen Xujiang, Xu Xue, and Lu Jing, and introduced the guests to possible future customers. He was surrounded by Stuart Galder, the heir to the Gald family, Sam McCormick of the McCormick family, and Edmund Abbott, director of AIG (American International Group).

Stuart Galt is a round-faced fat man in his thirties. glanced at Lu Jing meaningfully.

He was just talking to Chairman Pittman about the whereabouts of Xia Rulong, vice president of JPMorgan Chase & Co. Asia Pacific. He is ready to invite Xia Rulong to work at GE. This is the return for the $800 million he borrowed to Xia Rulong.

Pittman said that he needs to consider whether to let go of a potential financial rookie like Xia Rulong.

Edmund Abbott has a horse's face and is tall, about the same size as Gregory Peck, but not as handsome and dashing as a Hollywood actor. When Pitman introduced him, Edmund Abbott shook hands with Chen Xujiang and said with a smile: "Chen, Hehua has gained a lot in this international crude oil futures market, right?" ”

Chen Xujiang said without moving: "On the contrary, our losses are very strict. ”

On this occasion, we must not say something like Lu Jing just now. He must deny that Hehua profited in the oil futures market.

Edmund Albert laughed. He didn't say anything, and his expression was obviously unbelieving.

After everyone greeted each other, Bill Charles introduced Landing Jing to Pittman, "Director Lu is the founder of Jinghua Mobile Phone. It has created a mobile phone kingdom that is now second only to Nokia. ”

If you want Jinghua Communications to go public. Director Lu is a key figure. He sensed that Chen Xujiang had a lot of respect for the young man, and only out of politeness and upbringing.

Stuart Gould smiled and said, "Bill, I know something about Director Lu's deeds. Mitch Xia was defeated at his hands. Reputedly. The results of this contest between him and Mickey are used to decide who will be qualified to pursue a beautiful lady. Director Lu is now proud, and it can be said that his career and beauties have a bumper harvest together. ”

Xu Xue couldn't help frowning slightly. Stuart Gauld, the dead fat man, actually "killed" Lu Jing. The leader of Hehua's lobbying on this trip was Chen Dong. Highlighting the land scene is not the best lobbying scheme.

Pitman looked at Lu Jing in surprise, and sighed thoughtfully: "Director Lu is really young. ”

Lu Jing knew how dazzling it would be for him to be in a middle-aged club at an age of less than thirty. Rubbing his eyebrows, he said, "Chairman Pittman, age is not something I can decide. ”

Pitman smiled and said to Stuart Galder, "Stuart, the matter between you and Director Lu can be decided for yourself after tonight." He could hear what Stuart meant.

However, how could JPMorgan not know that Hehua was short and profitable at the end of December? However, it is true that Hehua did not control oil prices, which is not a challenge to Wall Street's bottom line and consensus, which is tolerable. There are also different voices within Goldman Sachs.

Second, with the rise of China, JPMorgan Chase & Co. is looking for opportunities to tap into the vast Chinese market, and they need to select partners. Perhaps the listing of Jinghua Communications is a good start.

Lu Jing's age is too young, how did he become a director of Hehua? This is probably a well-known thing.

Stuart Gauld smiled, and Pittman's words were a qualitative of the Hoka's affairs: ignorance.

He knew he couldn't stop it. The reasons are multifaceted. He now has to think about how to prevent Hohua from integrating into American high society.
