"Hugo...... Can I call you that? ”

George clasped his hands on the sides of his legs, looked at each other and said, "Hugo, I have read all your information in the past two years, and you have never suffered a loss. ”

"Suffer?" Hall repeated puzzled.

George further explained: "Black Monday, the British Steel scandal, the acquisition of the century, and what you're doing now with Columbia Pictures, you always seem to be the winner. ”

"I don't know how you do it, but I'm not going to break the pattern and become a partner at Carlyle, you're still a winner."

"Four years, after four years, you can withdraw from Carlyle's investment at any time, Bush needs to be decent, and this is also Mr. Mellon's will."

These words are threatening and sincere, the president of the United States served for four years, and at the beginning of his tenure, his son was shot in the head by a wine bottle, no matter what the cause is, it is an uncompromising event. All interested parties have an obligation to uphold the seriousness of their rights, not to mention that the new general leader is like the party itself.

So when George decided to fight back under the established rules, it was Hall's turn to refuse, and in the end, he was the first to break the rules.

"I will not be involved in the business of the Carlyle Investment Company." He could only bargain for a small amount.

George agreed without hesitation: "Of course, I know that your fund seems to have big business to do next. We're just showing an attitude to the outside world, after all, we are our own people, and it won't damage your iron-blooded image. ”

"People have also seen 'Bush''s generosity." Hall couldn't tell what mood he was in and smiled.

"Isn't it good to win-win?" George turned around and took a bottle of wine from the bookshelf and opened it and poured two glasses, "Seriously, you can definitely make a lot of money as a partner of Carlyle Investment, and if you don't have the bottle of wine smashed on Pierce's head, you can't become a partner." ”

Hall inexplicably heard a hint of schadenfreude, George was a full ten years older than Pierce, or that he and his younger brothers were quite different in age, and the relationship between the brothers did not seem to be so harmonious.

Especially with Jeb, one is the eldest son, the other is the second son who was publicly praised by his father as the best heir, there are many brothers, but there can only be one successor......

"Thank you, I accept your kindness." Hall raised his glass in anticipation.

At present, Carlyle Investment has just been established, and the management capital is only 50 million, but it will not be long before it receives a huge arms contract of up to $20 billion from the US Army, and since then it has made rapid progress in the field of defense.

For 23 consecutive years, it has maintained a cumulative average return of more than 30%, a record set at its peak when it managed nearly $200 billion in funds.

Compared to this, it is not difficult to accept the incumbent commander's term of office to help the other party's money bag stand on the platform.

George shook his head meaningfully and said, "It's not just me, it's the kindness of the Bush family." ”

"But it's you standing in front of me at the moment." Hall replied with a bad stomach.

George said noncommittally: "You are really similar to me when I was younger. ”

Hall smiled and thought to himself that you were eighteen years old and had not yet shaved your beard, but on the surface you accepted George's overtures and planned to make friends.

After all, the Bush family runs through the core of the power of the American generation from the 90s to the millennium, and he has no reason to fight them to the end.

There are still a long way to go, but you need to build a harmonious relationship with George, which is a great potential stock and may be worth investing in.

The two of you have affection, I chatted happily for a long time, and the wine was slightly drunk and ruddy, and then walked out of the office with shoulders on his back.

Cheng Chen and Steve ended their visit in due course, and finally settled on Hall to invest $5 million in The Carlyle Group, and he himself became a senior partner.

George waved his hand instead of Steve and offered a contract of up to $300,000 in annual salary and dividends, and said that he would hold a welcome ceremony tomorrow and invite the media to attend.

Aside from the future development prospects of Carlyle Investment, Hall's current position as a partner is a "marriage", and his signature on Wall Street has raised $300 million in funds, and it is foreseeable that the next fundraising of Carlyle Investment will be much easier.

Inviting media coverage is a natural implication, and it can also tell the outside world that the contradictions have ended here, that the face of the commander cannot be challenged, and that the new blood of the Wall Street Vespa cannot be ignored.

"Hugo, let's go to the golf club for a while, Mr. Mellon is waiting for you there."

After finishing the conversation, George Gay angrily clasped his shoulders and slipped a private club membership card into Hall's pocket.

The latter kept a stiff smile: "Do you want to be together?" ”

"Mr. Mellon doesn't like me." George didn't hide his emotions and exhaled helplessly.

This is not easy to accept, who made you too prodigal when you were young, Hall secretly took out his membership card and waved it: "Thank you for the meeting gift." ”

"You're welcome, the next time we meet, remember to pay me a meeting gift, and I will calculate the interest."

George watched him leave, reflexively returned to the office, picked up the investigation report printed with the cIA logo on the desktop, looked at it a few times, and then picked up the phone and called his brother Jeb to inform: "I've solved it here." ”

"The result...... Pierce was away from New York for a long time and couldn't come back for half a year, and I was about to put him on a plane. The other end of the phone said in a low tone.

George was silent for a few seconds and replied, "Jeb, people joke that our father has a five-figure friend, and he has always been proud. ”

"You should have come to New York to see Pierce off, he's bald now, with seven stitches."

"So if you don't want to get another seven stitches, you should let him listen to his mother instead of running to question me instead of him. Standing on the moral high ground, you will never know how much blood you have stained this report from cIA, and I can still smell the fishy smell. ”

George hung up the phone and started the shredder.

He really wants to be friends with the new blood of the Wall Street Vespa, all the layouts of this guy are full of weirdness, the Soviet Union and Neon are completely in line with the national strategy, and always being on the side of the general trend means that all the sideways tricks will be crushed into powder and will not make any waves.

Investigating black material is extremely naïve......

Just when George's relationship with his two younger brothers was tested again, on the other hand, Hall was tested by beauty on the way to the private club.

He had never found that Cheng Chen was quite beautiful, especially the way his tears couldn't stop flowing but he didn't make a sound, which was full of indescribable fragility.

The eyebrows and eyes are slightly drooping, the bridge of the nose is delicate, and the palm-sized melon seed face makes the whole pretty face look thin and delicate. The sunlight shines through the car window and forms a beam of light on her face, and the mist in her eyes makes her whole person look like a hazy ink painting, which will shatter when touched.

"What are you crying about?" Hall asked, appreciatingly.

Cheng Chen was silent, just scribbled his tears with a tissue, and wet his sleeves with makeup.

"Don't wipe it yet, I think this gauze bandage is so ugly, can you help me retie it." Hall snatched the tissue from her hand.

A few minutes later, Cheng Chen looked at the bow tied with white gauze on his arm in a daze, and said softly, "Thank you." ”

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Hall replied earnestly.
