Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 475 The City That Never Sleeps

Li Weidong raised his head and glanced at Luo Jialiang, but said nothing and continued to eat with his head down, leaving Luo Jialiang a little at a loss.

After a while, Luo Jialiang realized how stupid he was. Can the boss slap him in the face himself?

During the meal, Zhang Dongshuo answered several phone calls, most of which were from Zou Yi and Jiang Zhili asking if Li Weidong had gotten up and had breakfast.

After Zhang Dongshuo answered a call, he reported back to Li Weidong in a low voice: "Mr. Xu's call. On his way here, he asked about your arrangements. Should you inspect the company first, or look elsewhere?"

Li Weidong drank the milk in the cup and said: "Go to the company and have a look. Let's go there by ourselves. Don't let him come!"

He came to New York. Although it was said that he was traveling, if he didn't visit Xu Yandeng's company, it would seem that he didn't pay enough attention to it, and it couldn't be justified.

"He said he would be arriving in a few minutes," Zhang Dongshuo said.

"Oh, then let him do it!" Li Weidong said nonchalantly. If his subordinates wanted to express their respect, he would not refuse.

Luo Jialiang, who was next to him, said with a smile on his face: "Chairman, how about I go with you to have a long experience and see what Wall Street is like!"

"Aren't you having a premiere tonight, so you don't need to prepare for a rehearsal?" Li Weidong didn't understand this, but there should be a rehearsal for such a ceremony, as there is a wedding, let alone a grand premiere.

"There is a distribution company over there. When the time comes, I will sit in the audience and won't go up to speak. China Film Company is here, and Mr. Han will speak on behalf of our production side!" Luo Jialiang said softly.

Li Weidong nodded, saying everything without saying anything. He had to have a name when he came out so that he could write a work report when he went back. Now he has pictures and the truth, which can prove that he was not out for tourism, but for serious work needs.

Li Weidong didn't say he didn't agree, but he agreed implicitly, which made Luo Jialiang relax a little. His good horse has not been abandoned by Bole.

Of course, Li Weidong ignored him, but that didn't mean Luo Jialiang could ignore today's matter. If Li Weidong hadn't been going out now, he would have even rushed to Ziyi and questioned her.

Who gave you the courage to "encounter" the big boss like this? You don't take him seriously as the "godfather" of the entertainment industry.

Moreover, no one in the world wants his subordinates to contact a larger leader behind his back. What are you trying to do? You are "leapfrogging"!

In the hotel lobby, when Li Weidong came down, Zou Yi and Fu Xiaomin were already there, and Jiang Zhili had not returned from going to the stock exchange.

If it were just to deliver the contract, there would be no need for Jiang Zhili to come in person. Jiang Zhili would naturally have other plans when he came.

Whether in the past or in the future, Jiang Zhili and the exchange will have intersections. They have too many contracts involving the acquisition of listed companies.

Jiang Zhili wanted to take this opportunity to deepen and grasp the existing relationship and provide convenience for future work.

Normal procedures, normal procedures, whether it matters or not, although it will not affect the final result, it will definitely affect the efficiency of the process.

The same case can be settled for you today, or it can be settled before the deadline within seven working days, and no one can find fault with it.

Today, Jiang Zhili hopes that the person handling this matter can confirm and complete the contract as soon as possible and make the contract officially come into effect.

Finishing the work a day earlier would also allow him to relax earlier and explain to the leader. Jiang Zhili could understand that Li Weidong was not anxious on the face but anxious on the inside.

Moreover, such a large sum of money will earn a lot of interest every day after arriving in the account, and you can plan its use earlier.

Zou Yi and Fu Xiaomin, together with their secretary assistant, were dressed casually and casually today. They looked more graceful, elegant and beautiful. Standing here, it was a pleasure to look at.

After Li Weidong saw it, he naturally felt very beautiful and greeted with a smile: "Good morning to all the beauties!"

"It's not morning now, it's already a quarter past eleven!" Zou Yi raised his wrist and pointed at his watch.

"Good afternoon then!" Li Weidong shrugged and said with a smile. It was indeed a bit late to go out at this time, but Li Weidong didn't care.

At this time, Xu Yanden walked in quickly from outside and began to apologize before anyone arrived, "I'm sorry, Chairman, for keeping you waiting!"

"We have just come down. Come on, take us to your territory and let us see the charm of Wall Street!" Li Weidong waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"Chairman, are you kidding? This is your territory. You are welcome to inspect it!" Xu Yandeng said quickly. He could see that Li Weidong seemed to be in a good mood.

Their hotel is not far from Times Square, the crossroads of the world, and not far from the location of Xu Yandeng's company. After all, Manhattan is not a big place. It takes twenty minutes to drive. If there is no traffic jam, ten minutes is enough.

This place is adjacent to Wall Street. It is a relatively bustling street with several small buildings of more than ten stories high. It is far from comparable to Rockefeller Center, but its energy cannot be underestimated.

There are more financial companies, fund companies, and investment companies on this street than there are fast food restaurants downstairs.

When he came to the downstairs of Oriental Fund Company, which should be the office to be exact, Li Weidong didn't notice their company's billboard at all.

Only when going upstairs can you see the log and name of Oriental Fund on the floor guide in the elevator room.

Oriental Fund is located on the seventh floor and is still rented. The key is that this building is still a bit shabby and crowded, and at least the elevators are not enough.

It was lunch time when they arrived at the company. Many employees came down in a hurry to buy lunch, and there were many people waiting for the elevator.

Li Weidong and his party were a bit strange. When the elevator came, Ding Yuan gave Lao Huang a look. Lao Huang nodded lightly and asked a few American bodyguards next to him to hold the elevator door to prevent others from entering.

Ding Yuan hugged Li Weidong and got into the elevator. Although the elevator was big enough and there was still room after a few of them got up, the two bodyguards at the door were guarding and would not let anyone get up.

Several foreigners outside the elevator door were cursing, but no one dared to forcefully break in. The main reason was that the two bodyguards at the elevator door were a bit muscular and no one was willing to show off to others.

Zou Yi and others could understand English and were a little embarrassed to hear the complaints from outsiders, but Li Weidong was very indifferent. He didn't understand anyway. Even if he understood, Li Weidong would not let them come up for the sake of being close to the people.

Of course, he wouldn't mind if a few beauties came in. But if a few rough guys came in, with a bit of the "body fragrance" unique to foreigners, he would feel sick to his stomach just thinking about it in a crowded elevator.

This is not China, and there is no such traditional Chinese virtue as respecting the elderly and caring for the young!

Li Weidong came down from the seventh floor. Like most companies, the wall of the elevator room did not have the company's name posted on the wall as the company's facade. Instead, it was bare.

This kind of deliberate low-keyness is the true legacy of Li Weidong!

However, the door to the company from the elevator room has been opened, and a typical European and American woman is standing at the front desk respectfully. Li Weidong thought this should be the company's vase, but she is a little older.

However, she is gorgeous but not vulgar, charming but strong-willed, with a graceful waist, willowy eyebrows and phoenix eyes. The most important thing is that there is strength and capability in her eyes. This kind of beauty and charm is mixed with a heroic spirit, which makes Li Weidong feel like he is in front of his eyes.

Bright feeling.

Xu Yandeng took Li Weidong for a walk upstairs. Li Weidong did not let Xu Yandeng introduce him. Although the employees were curious, they did not pay too much attention and were busy watching the market. In the United States, there is no rule about the market closing at noon.

Not long after the meeting, Xu Yandeng brought Li Weidong to his office. The office was not big, but the windows took up one wall. The sunshine in the winter was warm and comfortable.

"Yes, setting up a table here is a good place to drink tea!" Li Weidong pointed to the sunlit place under his feet and said with a smile.

Xu Yanden suddenly felt that he had made a mistake. It seemed stupid to take his boss for a stroll in the office building just now. The boss didn't care about this at all.

The only compliment I didn't hear was the sunshine. The boss's thinking is indeed not something that a common man like him can keep up with.

Moreover, he has so many reports to read, so much data to analyze, and so much news to think about every day that he has no time to bask in the sun and drink tea.

Luo Jialiang was more knowledgeable. After hearing Li Weidong's words, he immediately pushed Xu Yandeng's boss chair into the sun and placed it under Li Weidong's buttocks.

Li Weidong also sat down on the chair, facing the sun, crossed his legs, leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and tapped his fingers comfortably.

Xu Yanden also quickly vacated a round table in the corner of the office and moved it next to Li Weidong to serve as a temporary coffee table.

Zhang Dongshuo, with the help of the beautiful and heroic vase just now, also made tea and put it on the coffee table.

The request Li Weidong mentioned just now was immediately met. Li Weidong looked at all this and sighed in his heart, it's not that he is lazy, but that his subordinates are forcing him to be industrious.

The props were set up and the main show began. Xu Yanden asked tentatively: "Chairman, may I report to you the progress of our recent work?"

Fu Xiaomin knew that this report was not something she could listen to, so she walked out of the office silently. The others were not fools, so they followed naturally. Only Li Weidong, Zou Yi and Xu Yandeng were left in the room.

"Chairman, according to your request, we will start cleaning up the stocks of each company after we come back, close the call futures on the Nasdaq, and gradually build put options!"

Xu Yanden hesitated for a moment and continued: "So far, except for the stocks you mentioned, all other positions have been basically cleared, but the put option position has suffered a little loss!"

"Short-term losses are not a big deal!" Li Weidong waved his hands and reassured, "In the long run, the decline of the Nasdaq has become a foregone conclusion. As long as you pay attention to your positions, profits are certain!"

"Yes, we will definitely control our positions. In addition, I heard that there are also some hedge funds in the market that are bearish on the Nasdaq. Should we also buy some heavyweight stocks and add fuel to the fire at the right time..."

Xu Yandeng was interrupted by Li Weidong before he finished speaking, "With this market situation, there is no need to add fuel to the fire. Besides, how much money do you have?"

Li Weidong naturally knows that if he first buys put options on the stock index, then uses part of his funds to invest in heavyweight stocks, causing the index to fall, and then closes the put options, the profit will definitely be high.

After all, in the previous life, this was how foreign investors shorted Big A. They hit those heavyweight stocks hard, and even if the market was generally rising, the stock index would still go down. Of course, this has nothing to do with ordinary leeks. After all, they are not qualified to buy and sell stock index futures.

.

The prerequisite for doing this is that there must be a large amount of funds to support it, and it must have a certain degree of appeal. Otherwise, relying on the strength of a certain institution to hit the stock index is simply a dream and impossible.

"Chairman, we still have 6.3 billion US dollars in available funds!" Xu Yanden said a little arrogantly.

However, Xu Yanden thought that Jiang Zhili was conducting a transaction of more than 30 billion at the exchange, and the pride that had just risen in his heart disappeared again. He was not even proud of someone worth 30 billion, so why are you so arrogant?

"The bubble is so big now, and you are still adding fuel to the fire. As soon as there is any disturbance, it will collapse immediately and no one can escape. Don't bite your hands when the time comes!" Li Weidong said, knocking on the table.

"Yes, Chairman!" Xu Yanden quickly adjusted his position.

Li Weidong didn't stay with Xu Yandeng for too long. After drinking two cups of tea, he left. He came to play, not to work.

When I was about to go out, I suddenly saw a company management structure diagram posted on the wall with photos. The vase I just saw was located in the second row after Xu Yandeng.

From this point of view, his temperament and position are more suitable. However, Li Weidong was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, he didn't say anything nice about the vase just now. There were too many companies and it was not embarrassing to recognize the vice president.

In the evening, Luo Jialiang stopped following Li Weidong. He was preparing to attend the premiere. He wanted to invite Li Weidong to attend, but was rejected. Li Weidong hated this kind of ceremony. It was strange that he could participate.

However, Jiang Zhili returned to the team, his face full of excitement, and he said excitedly in front of Li Weidong, "Chairman, the review can be completed in up to three days, and then we can transfer the stocks at any time!"

"Well done, let's celebrate tonight!" Li Weidong patted Jiang Zhili on the shoulder and said, it was a credit to him for being able to arrive a day early, not to mention several days early.

Li Weidong did not break his promise. He saw the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, passed through the crowded Grand Central Station, and came to the crossroads of the world, Times Square, at night.

It is very close to the hotel where they are staying, only two streets apart, so it is convenient to go back to the hotel to rest after the celebration.

Li Weidong, who had just eaten a big meal and drank champagne, seemed to be in high spirits. Xu Yanden made a timely suggestion: How about going to the bar to have some more drinks and see the nightlife of New York?

Li Weidong hesitated for a moment, then readily agreed. It was just a bar. Let’s see what the big deal can be. Besides, if you don’t experience it, how would you know why New York is called the city that never sleeps?

Xu Yanden was in New York and had stayed in Manhattan for several years. He was familiar with the place and chose a relatively high-end bar. According to him, this is the place with the richest nightlife in New York.
