Chapter 142: Simon, the Master Builder

Architect Simon has been in a very bad mood recently, after five years of hard work he has run Simon Architectural Design Company has reached the verge of bankruptcy, seeing that his hard work is about to go down the drain and powerless, he can't help but have a sense of lamentation that he was born at the wrong time and his fate is not good, why did his career just start but suffered a financial crisis, God, why are you making such a joke with me!

Simon graduated from the Department of Architectural Design of the University of Florida, a famous institution of higher learning in the United States, and obtained a doctorate degree in architectural design from the University of Florida at the age of 25.

Three years later, Simon broke away from Randall Architects, and organized his own team to set up Simon Architects, but due to limited funds, he could only set up an architectural design company, and could not set up a large-scale construction company like Randall Architects, which integrated design, construction, management and maintenance. In the past two years, with his reputation and diligence in the American architectural community, his architectural firm has successively undertaken the architectural design of several three-star hotels and financial buildings, which have been well received in the industry, and thus his reputation has increased.

If you want to establish yourself in the American architectural world, you must have designed top buildings, five-star hotels are undoubtedly one of the top buildings, and Simon has a fanatical preference for hotel design, when he was in Randall Architects, he participated in the architectural design of two five-star hotels, the Washington Hotel and the Queensland Hotel, although the main design was completed by him, but after all, he was only Mr. Borg's assistant, and the credit must be attributed to Mr. Borg's head, And he had to personally preside over the design of the top architecture to be recognized by the American architectural community.

In order to achieve this goal, Simon went through many ways, and finally with the help of his mentor Mr. Borg, in October last year, he won the architectural design contract of the famous Woods Hotel Management Group in the United States to invest in the construction of the Lenard Five-Star Hotel in New York.

After more than 3 months of hard work, Simon finally took out all the design drawings and technical parameters of the Lannard Hotel, when he sent the drawings soaked in his sweat to the Woods Hotel Management Group, the Woods Hotel Management Group canceled the investment plan because of the economic crisis's hotel losses, just compensated Simon for a small amount of liquidated damages to shatter his dreams, coupled with some companies have tightened investment, Simon's architectural design company has no business to do, on the verge of bankruptcy.

Simon is 30 years old this year, and he has devoted all his energy to his architectural design in pursuit of his career, and is still single. He sat in his office and saw everything here, his heart was very sad and reluctant, and it seemed that he was going to say goodbye to this place soon!

There was a knock on the office door, and Simon sat up straight and said, "Please come in!" His voice seemed weak, very weak.

As soon as the door opened, Jenny and Helen entered with smiles on their faces, Simon couldn't help but lift his spirits when he saw two stunning beauties walking in, and one of them he felt very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he asked suspiciously, "May I ask you?" ”

Helen giggled and walked up to Simon and said, "What? Mr. Simon doesn't know me anymore? ”

Although Simon still hadn't remembered who the beautiful woman in front of him was, he still stood up very politely and shook Helen's hand and said, "Hello, welcome, beautiful young lady!" I'm sorry, I can't really remember where I've seen you! "Americans have a very straight personality and a very straight way of speaking, and such things will not cause disgust from others when they say them directly, of course, this refers to Americans to Americans.

Sure enough, Helen didn't care that Simon couldn't remember her, and said with a smile: "Mr. Simon, let me remind you, we met at the groundbreaking reception of the Olea Hotel in New York a year ago, and we had a very pleasant conversation, you are the architect of this hotel, oh! This is the business card you gave me at the time! As he spoke, he took out a business card from his handbag with Simon's personality.

Helen reminded Simon of the idea that she immediately remembered that the Oleya Hotel was the first three-star hotel designed by the West ** Li, and when the foundation stone of the hotel was laid, the Oleya Group invited him to participate, and at the same time, the Oleya Group also invited a group of actresses from the film company where Helen was working at the time to help the fun, so the two met at the reception, and the conversation was also very speculative, leaving contact information for each other, but later because Simon was busy with his architectural design, Helen was busy with her acting career and missed.

Simon said very enthusiastically, "Miss Helen, I remember, I'm sorry to see my memory. Alas, it's all caused by this economic crisis! Come on, come on, please take a seat! ”

Helen turned sideways and introduced to Simon, "Mr. Simon, this is Miss Jenny, the general manager of Harry Potter Financial Investments, she has something to talk to you about today, and I am sure it must be a pleasant conversation!" ”

Simon's eyes lit up as soon as he heard that Miss Jenny was the general manager of Harry Potter Financial Investments, and he felt that his good fortune was coming, even though he had never heard of the name of Harry Potter Financial Investments. He hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with Jenny and said, "Hello Miss Jenny, welcome, I am very much looking forward to the pleasant conversation that is coming, and I hope that this is a blessing from God!" ”

Jenny and Helen were also very busy during this time, after the office was renovated and the company was registered, there was still a series of work waiting for them to do, shipping the ordered office supplies back to the company to arrange the workshop, and formally signing the work contract with 8 investment operators and 2 full-time financial personnel who had signed the work intention. On February 13th, the company officially opened!

On February 15, the first day of investment stipulated in the timetable of Zuo Jiang's investment plan, Jenny came to Citibank's New York business office with two full-time financial staff early in the morning, and took Zuo Jiang's power of attorney to find the general manager Lucky to withdraw the deposit.

When he saw that Jenny was withdrawing $50 million in deposits, Hollaid's heart couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, after all, there were more than $120 million in Citibank, and he could also explain the past, after inspecting Zuo Jiang's authorization documents, Hollaid was very happy to go through the withdrawal procedures for Jenny, he only hoped that Jenny would withdraw the money and leave quickly, afraid that she would take out the authorization letter to withdraw the remaining $120 million.

Jenny looked at Horde's anxious expression and couldn't help but laugh secretly, I only mentioned 50 million, and you will cry out, hum! When I come to mention the 1200000 in the afternoon, you will cry to death on the spot! When she woke up, Jenny could take Zuo Jiang's $270 million away at one time, but she was angry when she thought of Holled's appearance, so she came up with this method to teach him a lesson, the operation of the Citibank business department in New York Jenny is very well understood, and knows what will happen to Zuo Jiang, a big customer, if she loses Holled, so she decided to withdraw 50 million in the morning to make Holled think that this is the end, let him be lucky first, and then withdraw all the money at once in the afternoon to give him a devastating blow, Anyway, Zuo Jiang's investment plan only stipulates a date, the morning is also the 15th, and the afternoon is also the 15th, which is not in violation, and she has the right to decide the specific operation time.

Jenny got a directional check for $50 million, which means that she could only spend it by buying the 15 stocks specified in Zuo Jiang's investment plan, and after returning to the company, according to the investment schedule given to him by Zuo Jiang, she chose 6 stocks and invested all the $50 million.

In the afternoon, when Jenny walked into Holled's office with a smile on her face and two full-time financial staff, Holled's heart couldn't help but sigh: It's over! His hunch was immediately confirmed by Jenny, who looked at a depressed Holled after holding the $120 million directional check and said, "Goodbye Mr. Holled, I wish you a happy job!" He walked out of his office without looking back, and as soon as Jenny walked out, Hollaid's body collapsed in the chair.

Harry Potter Financial Investment Company quickly embarked on the normal track, because it was invested in accordance with Zuojiang's investment plan, the financial operators were very idle every day, they only needed to pay attention to and analyze the trend of the stocks they invested, and they didn't need to rack their brains to analyze the stocks that could make money as before.

At the beginning, the elites in the New York financial market were very disdainful of Zuo Jiang's investment plan, but after more than ten days, they began to admire this plan, and the shares of the three major automobile companies purchased for 120 million US dollars began to rise continuously after five days of ups and downs, although the increase was not large, but the trend was extremely optimistic. The 6 stocks purchased by 50 million US dollars began to rise as soon as they were purchased, and the increase in the first 10 days was not large, and on the 11th day, it suddenly began to rise strongly, and went all the way up, and the situation is extremely optimistic. At this time, they secretly sighed in their hearts, the person who made this investment plan was definitely a genius!

After settling down, Jenny remembered that Zuo Jiang asked her to find an architectural designer, so she pulled Helen around, several famous architectural companies do not accept just the business of architectural design, it must be a one-stop all-inclusive, as soon as she heard that it is China's Songjiang shook her head, and the small architectural company did not have the qualification to design a five-star hotel, and Jeanne returned in vain.

A few days ago, when Helen was chatting with a friend, she talked about Simon who she met at a cocktail party a year ago, and learned about the current situation of his architectural design company, so Jenny suggested that it would be better to try Simon, so she and Jenny came to Simon Architectural Design Company.

After hearing Simon's words, Jenny took out the overall rendering of the Harry Potter Hotel that Zuo Jiang brought to her from her back, handed it to Simon, and said, "Mr. Simon, you can take a look at this sketch first. ”

Simon took it and looked at it, and was stunned by the overall renderings of the Harry Potter Hotel in front of him, because Zuo Jiang's renderings are very similar to the New York Lenard Five-Star Hotel he designed for the Woods Hotel Management Group, and even the layout of the buildings with various functions is almost no different, and the drawings of the Lenard Five-Star Hotel in New York that he designed for the Woods Hotel Management Group are confidential and cannot be seen by outsiders, what is going on?

Although Simon couldn't figure out what was going on, he was very happy in his heart, the set of drawings he designed for the New York Leonard Five-Star Hotel was almost tailor-made for the Harry Potter Hotel, if he could take over this business, his Simon Architectural Design Company would be saved, and his work would be very easy. Thinking of this, he still asked a little uneasily: "Miss Jenny, is it a five-star hotel?" ”

Jenny said, "Yes, Mr. Simon, it's in Songjiang, China, I don't know if you're interested?" ”

"China's Songjiang?" Hearing this, Simon couldn't help but ask, "Miss Jenny, I heard you right, where is Songjiang in China?" "Simon only knows that there is a China in the East, but nothing else.

Jenny smiled and nodded, "Yes, Mr. Simon, you heard it right, China's Songjiang is in the northeast of China, and it is the provincial capital of Songjiang Province. ”

Simon couldn't help but ask, "Miss Jenny, is a provincial city in China capable of building a five-star hotel?" He had the impression that China was a very poor place, so he was skeptical that a provincial city should build a five-star hotel.

Jenny said: "Mr. Simon, I don't know if a provincial capital in China has the ability to build a five-star hotel, but my boss definitely has the ability!" ”

"What, what?" When Simon heard this, he asked anxiously, "Miss Jenny, are you saying that your boss is going to invest in the construction of this five-star hotel in Songjiang, China?" ”

Jenny said, "Yes, Mr. Simon, my boss is from Songjiang, China!" Are you interested in a trip to Songjiang in China? Jenny had already learned about Simon's architectural design firm from Helen, and knew that Simon could not refuse such a contract, and spoke very confidently.

Simon was very shocked after hearing this, for a Chinese to invest in the construction of a five-star hotel, if it was not for Miss Jenny to say it, he couldn't believe it, after all, she would not come to make him laugh, but he was very concerned about how much he could get paid, after all, with money his architectural design company could sustain. So he said, "Miss Jenny, I am very much looking forward to working with your boss, but I will not go to China if the price is too low." ”

"Mr. Simon, don't worry about the price, once our partnership is established, we will pay you to the highest standards of the current architecture of a five-star hotel in New York," Jenny said. However, it has to be to the satisfaction of my boss! ”

Simon was still very confident in his design genius, and after reading Zuo Jiang's renderings, he felt that his design would definitely satisfy Jenny's boss, so he said, "Good! Miss Jenny, I agree! Don't know when I can get up and go to China? ”

Jenny said, "Mr. Simon, I can't decide yet, I'll let you know when I get up when I report to the boss, so get ready first!" ”

Simon said, "Yes, Miss Jenny, I wish us a happy cooperation!" Then he raised his left hand to Jenny.

Jenny waved her hand and high-fived Simon and said, "Mr. Simon, happy cooperation!" ”

After Jenny returned to the company, she didn't care what time it was on Songjiang's side, so she called Tao Fei and booked a call time with Tao Fei to Zuo Jiang.

Calling Tao Fei again, it was Zuo Jiang who answered, Jenny excitedly reported to Zuo Jiang the investment operation and income of Harry Potter Financial Company, the company has earned more than 10 million US dollars in the New York stock market in less than half a month after its establishment, which makes Zuo Jiang very excited, which shows that his investment plan is very correct.

When Jenny told Zuo Jiang that he had invited an architect named Simon for him, Zuo Jiang was even more excited, because he knew that Simon was a world-famous architectural design master and had a pivotal position in the American architectural world, of course, it was in Zuo Jiang's previous life, when he conceived the Harry Potter Hotel, Zuo Jiang was referring to his hotel design, but Zuo Jiang just painted the scoop according to the gourd, just the appearance, I didn't expect Jenny to be able to invite him!
