- Travelers Winery, located at the southern end of New York's Central Park, is not noisy at night. ////
Although there is no wood burning in the fireplace, the mahogany curtain wall makes the wine atmosphere very romantic and warm.
The beautiful melody of Casbro Market rippled in the wine. Chen Hongtao and Winnie sat looking at each other in front of a wine table, looking quite quiet.
The aroma of cigars lingered, and seeing Chen Hongtao drinking wine quietly with a smile on his face, Winnie couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "I thought you were so happy in Hong Kong that you wouldn't come to the United States so soon!"
"It's just a matter of adjusting your life. Some things always have to be solved." Chen Hongtao said with a grin.
Winnie glanced at Chen Hongtao: "Currency integration is beneficial to both the investors of the Federal Reserve and the shareholders of Pearl Holdings. I'm afraid it's not good for you to block it like this."
Chen Hongtao took a puff of his cigar and seemed to be thinking about something: "I have no intention of blocking it. It is not easy to implement European and American monetary integration. If the Federal Reserve really had the ability, it would not wait today. As for the issue of Asian dollars, The idea is not feasible, and no preparations have been made. This is not forced at all. Do you know how long it took Pearl Century Bank to promote European economic integration and how much effort it put in? "
"You are Chinese and have obvious biases in looking at some issues." Winnie complained a little about Chen Hongtao.
Chen Hongtao smiled evilly: "You are right about this, but you are not aware of the most critical issue. With the rapid economic development in recent years, China has undoubtedly become the most important country in Asia. What do you think? To bypass China and issue Asian dollars and force them to follow suit will only make the situation worse, and it is a disguised provocation. At least in the case of Pearl Century Bank, it is not up to you to make the decision."
"What is your real purpose in coming to New York this time? Is it to suppress the issuance of the Asian dollar?" Winnie took a deep breath and asked.
¡°I¡¯ve been staying on Campelos Island for a long time, I just came out for a walk.¡± Chen Hongtao took a sip of vodka and laughed.
Winnie tasted the vanilla wine and looked at Chen Hongtao with a slight complaint: "Whether you mean it or not, you have violated my interests. If Asian dollars can be issued from Singapore, it will be of great benefit to Pei'er and me. It goes without saying. This is not forced. Rather, the Asian financial crisis provides us with an opportunity to promote the Asian dollar."
Chen Hongtao said with a heartless smile: "Sometimes the opportunity may not be good, or it may be a quagmire. I have clearly expressed my opposition and will not change it."
"If we don't advance the Asian dollar plan, what will happen to Pei'er and I's assets in Singapore?" Winnie asked as calmly as possible.
Chen Hongtao took a puff of his cigar: "You have invested too deeply in Temasek Holdings and the Singapore government. At the beginning of the Asian financial crisis, exiting in time was the best choice. However, things have changed to the point where they are now. It is better to make a mistake." At the bottom. Taking advantage of the disaster caused by the financial turmoil to the Asian economy, we bought a large number of valuable industrial assets at bargain prices."
"Will there be any problems if we take over too many of these industrial assets? It would be okay if it was a wholly-owned acquisition. In recent years, due to the equity interests of Temasek Holdings and Singapore Political Investment, the Singapore government has had many overt and covert struggles with us, which is quite troublesome. !" Winnie said with a tired look on her face.
Chen Hongtao couldn't help but smile: "Temasek Holdings and Singapore Political Investment are two companies. They account for a huge proportion of Singapore's economy. Of course, the Singapore government will not let you do whatever you want. Since you have been here all these years, it will not Just two more years to endure. Now that you and Pei'er hold the majority of the shares of the two companies, you can control the operations of the two companies through normal channels. While putting pressure on the government of Singapore, you can also obtain your own interests. Most of this is still about a word of negotiation, which is also called bargaining. I believe you will know how to do it without me teaching you."
"When you swapped the equity of Saudi Aramco and other national oil companies into the U.S. Oil Reserve, did you consider the conflict of interests involved?" Winnie asked Chen Hongtao with a lively expression.
"This is not something I think about, but an unavoidable fact. Just like the Saudi Kingdom's struggle with your Rockefeller family in the Aramco oil company, it is too difficult to be rich and powerful!" Chen Hongtao drank up the vodka in the glass. , lying lazily on the sofa and laughing.
"Is there any hope of enduring it for two more years? The damage caused by this financial crisis to the Asian economy is almost devastated. If too many industrial assets are purchased, I am worried that once the Asian economy fails to improve, the situation will become even more difficult." Wen Wen Ni said a little unsure.
¡°This financial crisis is just an obstacle to the vigorous development of the Asian economy. Judging from the strong strength of the Asian economy, once this wave of financial crisisOnce the violence subsides, Asia's economy will only develop more rapidly. This time you are paying for it! "Chen Hongtao said with an unserious smile.
"Have you really decided to continue to diversify Century Bank's shares?" Winnie asked Chen Hongtao seriously.
Chen Hongtao yawned: "Sometimes having too many things to do is a burden. It is ideal for Pearl Holdings to control Century Bank's equity to about 10%. With important shareholders like you running the company, I have nothing to worry about."
"If you really want to diversify Century Bank's equity, I hope you can consider me more. I am very interested in Century Bank's equity." Winnie stared at Chen Hongtao closely.
"I believe the reason why you are interested in Century Bank's equity is not just the equity income, but also a long-term strategic layout consideration?" Chen Hongtao's smile seemed a little playful.
"Relatively speaking, Century Bank has the best asset quality and is also very large. With the right to issue euros, it has not only surpassed the status of the Federal Reserve, but also has many more possibilities. In the future, it will definitely become the core of the world's capital. Where it is." Winnie said with beautiful eyes.
"It doesn't matter. Since you are optimistic about Century Bank, I am happy to sit back and enjoy the profits and wait and see. Money is just a number to me now. It is good to live a low-key and prosperous life." Chen Hongtao's face showed a touch of emotion.
Winnie said with a complicated expression: "With your financial ability, it is easy to obtain profits. Even if you give up all your family business now, if you just think about it, you can still build a big business in just two or three years." A financial dynasty, but for you to stop so early and withdraw from the capital market is a bit unexpected."
"I don't want to be an old cow who keeps grinding." Chen Hongtao turned around with a smile. Lying on the sofa, he seemed to have no intention of talking to Winnie anymore.
"How long do you plan to live in the United States this time?" Winnie asked with a pout.
"I probably won't be able to stay for long. I've lived on Campelos Island for a long time, and I'm really not used to being out in the cold. Compared to the bustling city, it's more comfortable on a private island." Chen Hongtao's voice gradually became lower, as if he was going to sleep. It's normal.
"Since the fire nine years ago, Dream House has been rebuilt long ago. Why don't you go back and have a look?" Winnie looked slightly unnatural.
¡°I have reserved this wine, and the environment is very good.¡± Although the travel wine is not far from the dream home in the central park, Chen Hongtao has no intention of moving there.
Winnie looked at Chen Hongtao, who had his back turned to her, with a hint of disappointment on his pretty face. She stood up and said softly: "Then I'll leave first. I'll go to Campelos Island to see you and Helen when I have time"
After Winnie left, Chen Hongtao quickly stood up. His eyes were not tired at all, but instead revealed a sneaky look of excitement.
"Boss, everything is ready." Sun Yujuan came to Chen Hongtao at the right time and gave him a car key.
"Let's go, don't follow me later, take people back to Dream House." Chen Hongtao tossed the car keys and walked towards the door of the wine.
Look at a big shiny Harley-Davidson parked outside the wine door, with two speakers hanging on the back. Chen Hongtao showed a look of satisfaction on his face and got on the car without even putting on his motorcycle hat.
¡°Boom~~~¡±
After igniting the motorcycle, the roaring rumble gives people an unusually powerful feeling.
What is even more eye-catching is that Chen Hongtao turned up the volume of the two loudspeakers on the back of his motorcycle as loud as possible, and Backstreet Boys' "As Long as You Love Me" was blasting out of the loudspeakers, making him look extremely stinky.
Watching Chen Hongtao ride away the big motorcycle that was singing loudly. Not only the bodyguard Sun Yujuan looked weird, but also Winnie, who was parked in a jeep at an inconspicuous street in the distance, had a choked-up look of annoyance on her face. She gritted her teeth and murmured: "You're a bastard"
Chen Hongtao didn¡¯t run too far on his big Harley. Soon he entered a high-end fashion store with bright lights in the night.
Eve, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Chen Hongtao come in and had already put him in a denim leather jacket. The pointed-toed cowboy boots were even hung with iron chains, which made a squeaking sound when he walked.
Standing in front of the dressing mirror, while Eve helped put on the diamond earrings, Chen Hongtao seemed to like this outfit very much, with a look of satisfaction on his face and even a tap dance at his feet.
¡°Boss, you look a bit like a motorcycle gang, which is really worrying!¡± Eve said to Chen Hongtao nervously.
"Don't worry, go back to your dream home. I'll go out for a walk." Before leaving, Chen Hongtao waved to Eve with his back and did not let her follow.
The streets of Manhattan at night are brightly lit, and Chen Hongtao, who has already transformed into Stannie Hawke, is riding a big motorcycle crazily on the streets.
Waiting for motorcycleParked outside an abandoned market on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the big Harley looked out of place among the many luxury cars.
The roaring sound quickly attracted several guards.
Some of the upper-class people who attended the New York autumn fashion show looked like Chen Hongtao from the motorcycle gang, and there was a faint look of surprise on their faces.
Before the guard could say anything, Chen Hongtao, who had red hair and got off his motorcycle, had already twirled a golden invitation to the guard and strode towards the abandoned market hall, looking extremely cool.
Entering the New York Autumn Fashion Conference, I saw a number of very elegant female models on the catwalk, walking around in fashionable and avant-garde clothes. Many media reporters and people from the upper class also came. Chen Hongtao smiled and was guided by the reception staff. got off and sat on a chair near the catwalk.
Chen Hongtao, who has red hair and big sunglasses, is extremely eye-catching. He is no worse than the female fashion models on the catwalk. He quickly attracted some people's attention.
Looking at the man wearing a denim leather jacket next to him, Tong En felt a sense of d¨¦j¨¤ vu for some reason.
Seeing Chen Hongtao taking off his sunglasses and smiling at himself, Tong En didn't even care about being at the clothing conference. Meiyan looked astonished as if he had seen a ghost: "It's you"
After more than nine years, Tong En could never imagine that the nightmare man who ruined her acting career would appear in front of her again.
Chen Hongtao sat on the chair and said with a smile on his face: "Long time no see."
"Why did you appear here?" Listening to Chen Hongtao's laughter, Tong En was already very sure that he had not recognized the wrong person.
If it weren¡¯t for the care of Doreen, the president of the entertainment agency, Chen Hongtao¡¯s identity as Stannie Hawke would have disappeared from the world. Tong En was even dragged into despair by him.
Seeing Tong En's horrified and angry look at this time, Chen Hongtao grinned, showing a row of neat white teeth: "Of course I am here to watch the fashion show. When we meet old friends, you will not be so unkind to me. Why do I He¡¯s also your agent.¡±
"You bastard, how dare you show up" Tong En's character is not strong. He looks a little naive when he is angry.
"At that time, I had to leave the entertainment agency because of an accident, but I heard that you seemed to be doing well these years." Chen Hongtao looked at Doreen Xiulan, who was not too far away, with a stern look.
"I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore." Tong En frowned slightly, seeming to suppress her anger and lowered her voice because of the fashion conference.
Chen Hongtao smiled brightly and said nothing more.
¡°I don¡¯t know whether it was because Chen Hongtao was dressed in an unusual way or because she felt his gaze, but Doreen turned to look at him for a short time. There was a hint of weirdness on her pretty face.
"President Doreen, do you know that person?" A woman in her twenties sitting next to Doreen asked curiously.
The woman's skin is quite fair, and she is wearing a black evening dress, which highlights her plump body.
"But compared with Doreen, the woman is both beautiful and beautiful. It's all a bit different.
¡°Perhaps the woman next to Doreen is not famous yet, but Chen Hongtao knows her. This woman is Kate Winslet, the heroine of Titanic.
Realizing that Chen Hongtao's provocative gesture seemed to be aimed at herself, Kate felt a little dissatisfied, but she did not dare to show it in front of Doreen.
Doreen did not answer Kate's words. There was a faint thought hidden in her beautiful eyes. Although she didn't know that Stannie Hawke was Chen Hongtao, she had doubts and guesses through some things.
Because when Stannie entered the entertainment agency, he had weird relationships everywhere. Doreen even secretly investigated it. Although there was no real result, many things still worried Doreen.
"Although the temperament of these models is okay now, their looks are too disappointing for the audience. I remember that there were many young models in entertainment agencies in the past!" After watching the fashion conference for a while, Chen Hongtao sighed and sighed.
If it were possible, Tong En would even want to get up and leave immediately to avoid this man who was like a nightmare to her.
"How about it, after the fashion show is over later, do you want to catch up on old times?" Seeing Tong En's silence, Chen Hongtao was not discouraged and smiled cheekily.
"I don't care what the purpose of your appearance is. In short, I don't want to have anything to do with you. If you are smart enough, disappear as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you." Tong En said angrily.
Chen Hongtao grinned widely and said, "It's different to be the director of the artist supervision department of an entertainment company. I remember when director Olseya was still there, you were just a sweeper girl!"
Listen to Chen Hongtao, Tong En's complexion changed, and he seemed a little unable to bear it.
"It's a shame that I was so nice to you back then, but the actor sitting next to President Doreen is barely doing it. Is the Titanic filmed and invested by the entertainment agency about to be released?" Chen Hongtao asked the service sister. Waved and asked for a glass of champagne.
"If you hadn't been lazy one night and offended Director Orseya, how could my acting career have been ruined? I will never forgive you in my life" Although more than nine years have passed, Tong En has Still not relieved.
"It's a blessing in disguise. Being an actor is the same thing. It's not as comfortable as it is now. Director of the Artist Supervision Department. With your position as Dora Feng, all the artists in the company have to listen to you." Chen Hongtao said with a somewhat envious smile. .
"I advise you not to make any bad ideas and leave immediately after the fashion show, otherwise I will ask the security guard to greet you properly." Tong En warned Chen Hongtao.
Chen Hongtao crossed his legs and said with a smile: "I am a distinguished guest who was invited. I remember telling you before that there is someone above me, but you don't believe it. When that fierce woman from Orseya was the director, she had to give me some It¡¯s my son¡¯s face.¡±
Seeing Chen Hongtao's stinky look, Tong En was a little unsure, but still gave him a stern warning look.
After the fashion conference was over, the reception began immediately. Managers from the production and publicity departments of the entertainment agency smiled and thanked some important high-society guests.
With Tong En avoiding him, Chen Hongtao quickly approached Doreen.
¡°President Doreen, long time no see.¡± With a smile on his face, Chen Hongtao raised his wine glass slightly and signaled to the pretty young woman.
The familiarity with Chen Hongtao made Doreen's pretty face look a little strange.
"It's been a long time indeed, Mr. Stannie. I remember you very clearly. Since our boss showed up, you disappeared." Doreen approached Chen Hongtao and laughed. - Didn't finish reading?
