Hong Kong Comic Master

"Dingling bell..."

Shortly after the school bell rang, the originally empty USC campus was suddenly filled with students after class.

Chen Weixian and his roommate Carl were also walking among them at this time.

Since the two are already seniors, they have relatively few classes. After the morning class ends, there will be no classes today.

After class, Chen Weixian looked relatively relaxed. He was walking on campus and said to Karl beside him: "I'm going to make rice noodles later. Do you want to eat it?"

Before coming to the United States, Chen Weixian didn't know how to cook at all. However, like most domestic international students, once they went abroad, not to mention how to study, they were all forced to become chefs!

I have no choice but to eat foreign food every day for my native stomach. I will really die!

"No!"

"What? You didn't eat your favorite pho today?"

Hearing Carl's refusal, Chen Weixian was beyond surprised. He still remembers the first time he tried to make rice noodles. He obviously poured too much soy sauce, but this guy actually ate it with just the bread!

In this regard, he also said that being able to eat such delicious food would make his previous life in vain!

After that, every time I made rice noodles, I had to make enough for three people!

"Well, my sister is here and invites me to dinner! Do you want to come with her?"

Karl scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Oh, is it your sister who is the top student? Forget it, I won't go!"

"Oh, don't! Come with me, my sister has always wanted to see you too!"

Then, Karl couldn't help but pulled Chen Weixian towards the outside of the school.

Seeing this, Chen Weixian couldn't resist, so he had to be dragged away by Karl.

Outside the school gate, there was a huge Hummer parked. After seeing Karl and the two, a woman jumped down from it.

"Cathy, we're here!"

"Hello, Sister Wood!"

"Hello, are you Chen? Just like Carl, just call me Cathy!"

"Then just call me Ethan!"

Carl's sister, Cathy Wood, is somewhat similar to Carl, but her facial lines are too strong, a bit like a man's face. She wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, suits and ties, and looks like a strong woman.

In fact, she is really good. After receiving a bachelor's degree in economics and finance from the University of Southern California with honors in 1981, she joined the Capital Group as an assistant economist and has been working there until now.

This is an overseas investment management company whose main business is insurance and financial services. It has more than 20 business locations around the world, including Hong Kong Island.

The place where Cathy took the two of them to eat was a steakhouse near the school.

Although it is not far from the school, the price is not cheap, so there are not many people. After all, it is quiet and the environment is good!

"I only ate in this store once when I was in school. At that time, I thought, it would be great if I could eat here every day!"

Cathy and Carl's family can be considered a middle-class family, but it is too expensive to study in college in the United States. Without scholarships, paying for the tuition of their two children is tantamount to bankrupting the family.

Therefore, when Cathy said this sentence, she felt very emotional.

College students who once had empty pockets now have a certain amount of capital!

Although she now has the word "assistant" in front of her name as an economist, it still can't stop her from earning 100,000 dollars a year. You know, this is the 1980s!

"Hehe, if I make you eat this every day, you will probably get tired of it, right?"

Carl's confused words at this time interrupted Cathy's recollection.

"If you can't speak, just eat more!"

Cathy gave Carl a dirty look.

"Cathy, I heard from Karl that you have been to Hong Kong Island?"

At this time, Chen Weixian stepped forward at the right time to smooth things over.

"Yes! I've been there three times in total. I just went there last month! It's a beautiful city and the food is delicious!"

Cathy sighed.

"Cathy, you don't know, right? Ethan's family has a big company on Hong Kong Island! What's it called? Xing...Xingxing?"

"Oh? What business do you do?"

Cathy suddenly became interested when she heard that Chen Weixian's family actually had a company.

"The name is Xingrong Company, which is in the toy business!"

"Xingrong Company? Oops, is it the toy agency of DreamWorks?"

Cathy became extremely excited when she heard the name of the company!

"Have you heard of our company?"

Chen Weixian saw Cathy's expression and knew that the other party was not fake, but he was confused, when did his company become so famous?

Have you even heard of an American?

"Of course. When I was in Hong Kong Island, I had dealt with Xie, the general manager of DreamWorks' investment company. He valued me very much and even wanted to poach people. So I checked out DreamWorks. It was indeed very popular. Awesome, the current market value is already 1 billion US dollars, right? However, I think this is not their limit! And your company should be their subsidiary?"

When talking about her business scope, Cathy immediately became energetic.

"Yes! Most of our company's equity is in the hands of DreamWorks, and our family only holds a small part of the shares!"

Seeing that the other party had already figured out the situation of his company, Chen Weixian had nothing to hide!

"Wait, DreamWorks? This name sounds so familiar!"

Karl on the side thought carefully and suddenly slapped his thigh, "Is it the company that produced "Dragon Ball" and "Death"?"

"Yes, and the Transformers toys I gave you before are also from their company!"

"Wow, isn't that Hong Kong-like Marvel?"

"Sorry, just yesterday, DreamWorks announced that it had acquired Marvel, so your metaphor is not appropriate!"

"Huh? Marvel has been acquired?"

Hearing his sister say this, Carl, a Marvel fan, was confused.

As an ordinary comic book fan, he usually doesn't care about the changes in the equity of the company behind the comics. On this point, he certainly doesn't know as much as Cathy, who is an insider.

"So, Ethan, you can be considered an insider of DreamWorks!"

"Uh, it doesn't count!"

Chen Weixian thought about it carefully. Although he was inextricably linked to DreamWorks, he did not work in DreamWorks. It was difficult to say that he was from this company!

"Anyway, I want to hear your opinion. What do you think of DreamWorks Investment Company?"

Faced with Cathy's sudden serious question, Chen Weixian was immediately in trouble.

To be honest, although he knew something about DreamWorks' investment company, his understanding was indeed limited. After all, he was already in the United States when the company was established.

After thinking about it carefully, Chen Weixian finally replied: "I think the future of DreamWorks is still very bright. As for the investment company, I don't know much about it, but Sister Cathy, if you ask me this, don't you already have it in your heart?" Got the answer?"
