…
After hanging up the phone, Guo Shouyun said with a smile, looking at Sister Bewen’s inquiries and curious eyes: “The company’s affairs have been dealt with, let’s continue to eat!”
“It’s almost eaten, if you have an emergency, let’s go now!” Molly Bevan said.
“fine!”
Guo Shouyun shook his head. But even so, the three of them didn’t stay in the restaurant for too long. Sister Bevan came by plane, and they must have an early rest on the first night.
So, after having dinner and returning to the hotel to set them up, Guo Shouyun returned to his room. But he didn’t stay in the room for too long. After about ten minutes, he changed into a formal suit and tie, looked in the mirror, felt that there was no problem with his appearance, and walked out of the room.
After leaving the Plaza Hotel, Guo Shouyun drove to the Hudson New York Central Park Hotel a few kilometers away. After parking the car and walking into the hotel lobby, William Zhang, who was already waiting here, hurriedly greeted him.
“boss!”
“I’m not late, am I?”
“You are fifteen minutes ahead of the agreed time.” After shaking his head, William Zhang said.
“That’s good. … Let’s sit over there first!”
Guo Shouyun pointed to the rest area in the hotel lobby. After nodding, William Zhang walked over.
The two sat down towards each other, Guo Shouyun looked at the time, then raised his head and said, “Have you been in contact with people?”
“Um!”
“How’s the attitude?”
“Very polite. But I don’t think she has much interest in the position offered by the boss!”
“why?”
“The contact time is not long, and the reason is not very clear at present!” William Zhang shook his head.
Guo Shouyun frowned and did not continue the question.
“What’s going on with Phoenix now?”
“It’s very smooth. The company has been set up. Not counting the front desk, cleaning and other service personnel, there are currently 23 people in Phoenix.”
“What about the Thunder Asset Management Plan?”
“The funds have been fully invested, and the current short-selling funds of Enron have reached 1.54 billion US dollars.”
“It’s going very fast!”
Guo Shouyun nodded with satisfaction.
“Of course. Enron is very popular now, especially under the promotion of “Fortune” magazine, its stock price once exceeded 90 US dollars, and most rating agencies including Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s gave it an A-level buy evaluation Securities firms with Enron stock are of course willing to lend their stocks to us who are ‘short-selling’. But while the shorting of Enron went well, Wall Street doesn’t know how many financial institutions are waiting to see us laugh!”
“Isn’t that just right. No one is competing with us, so it’s easier for us to get in when Enron’s stock is at a premium. We’ll only make more money when it’s all out.”
William Zhang nodded, and soon his eyes narrowed.
“Boss, someone is here!”
Guo Shouyun stood up with him and turned to look behind him. Soon, a middle-aged black couple wearing casual clothes with a calm and shrewd temperament appeared in his eyes.
As the intermediary of the contact, William Zhang took the lead to greet him.
“Sir, ma’am, this is Mr. Bruce Guo, the boss of our Phoenix company. … Boss, these two are Mr. Ou Guanhai and his wife, Ms. Michelle!”
Taking a deep look at the very familiar dark face in front of him, Guo Shouyun first stretched out his right hand towards the other party, “Mr. Ao Guanhai, it’s nice to meet you!”
Feeling the sincerity and respect in his tone, Ou Guanhai, who had just lost to Ian Rush in the election for the federal House of Representatives, was in a much better mood.
“Thank you. Mr. Guo is younger than I thought. Also, the description of you in The New York Times focuses more on your talent in writing. But in my opinion, you are in business, especially on the Internet. Talent is truly amazing!” Ao Guanhai’s words revealed that he also had some understanding of Guo Shouyun.
“You’re welcome! … Mrs. Ou Guanhai, it’s a pleasure to meet you!”
“It’s my honor to meet Mr. Guo!”
After the three simply said hello, they sat down in the hotel lobby.
“Thank you very much for agreeing to this meeting! In order not to delay your vacation and rest, let’s keep it short.” After a pause, Guo Shouyun continued, “Mrs. Ao Guanhai, I am very enthusiastic about it. Charity, so I plan to use the income from writing books to set up a ‘charitable fund’ to provide financial aid for poor students, but I am not familiar with the management and operation of charitable funds, and I can’t spare much time for writing and starting a business. So I hope You are the head of this ‘charity fund’!”
“Mr. Guo, your kindness is admirable. I am personally very willing to help. But unfortunately, I cannot agree to your request!” Michelle Aoguanhai quickly shook his head.
“Why? If it’s salary, you can rest assured. We’re willing to give you $35,000 a month.”
“It’s not about the salary!”
“That is…?”
“We have a second child, so Michelle needs an easy job!” Ao Guanhai explained with a smile.
After quickly sweeping over Michelle ***’s inconspicuous abdomen, Guo Shouyun said with a smile: “Congratulations, you two! This is really something to be happy about!”
“thanks!”
“Ms. Ou Guanhai, I can put the headquarters of this charitable fund in Chicago, and you don’t need to do too many fundraising activities before you give birth. Do you think it’s okay?” Although he knew the reason, Guo Shouyun didn’t think so. intend to give up easily.
“Mr. Guo, there are many people in the United States who have experience in operating charitable funds. Why do you have to invite me?”
“First, you are talented enough to graduate with a BA in Sociology from Princeton University, and a PhD from Harvard Law School. Second, we also learned that during your three-year tenure as executive director of the Illinois Women’s Relief Fund, you have More than $10 million in donations, which is more than the fund’s total donations over the past 12 years. Third, women are inherently more approachable than men when it comes to philanthropy. Combining the above three points, you are the one we think is the most suitable for ‘Bruce’ The candidate for the executive director of the Student Aid Charity Foundation.” Guo Shouyun said seriously.
“Thank you very much for your attention. But I need time to think about this matter!”
Although he was sincere and full of praise, there was not much emotion on Michelle Aoguanhai’s face.
“Of course! I very much hope to receive a positive answer from you!”
Michelle Aoguanhai nodded~www.readwn.com~ Mr. Guo, it’s getting late. My kids are still in the hotel room, and if you have nothing else to do, we’re leaving!”
The smile on Guo Shouyun’s face quickly returned to normal after a delay. After a few years in his mind, he smiled and nodded, and did not continue to be a stalker.
“Okay, nice to meet you two!”
The two nodded, stood up and shook hands with Guo Shouyun, then turned and left.
Looking at their backs, William Zhang frowned slightly, “Boss, I feel that what she said about consideration is more of a shirk. In fact, she has already rejected your invitation in her heart!”
“I know! But it doesn’t matter, there are still opportunities in the future!”
Guo Shouyun also never thought that he would be successful.
“Maybe we can find other suitable candidates through headhunting?” William Zhang suggested after glancing at him.
“No, I’m still more optimistic about her!” Guo Shouyun shook his head. For William Zhang’s confusion, he did not explain much. After all, no one can imagine now that a black man will become the 44th president of the United States in 8 years, and he will serve two terms.
Therefore, from Huaxia, he has a deep understanding of the highly interdependent relationship between politics and economy. When he first formulated his business plan, he also formulated a plan to expand his network. However, he didn’t set the goal of the plan on Ao Guanhai, because now he can’t help the other party too much, and he can’t attract Ao Guanhai’s interest, but his wife is different. The power of ‘pillow wind’ has proven to be the best way to ‘curve the country to save the country’, both in history and in modern times.
“Let’s go too!”
After the backs of Ao Guanhai and his wife disappeared in the elevator, Guo Shouyun greeted William Zhang and left the hotel.
