Chapter 248 Dialogue Between the Big Bosses

The person who asked the question was Robert Forbes, the vice president of the Fubu Group, a man who spoke with a Broadway accent, to be precise, a middle-aged man.

Yang Cheng and David Ellison looked at each other, and they didn't find it strange. Forbes is not only a financial magazine, but also a consulting company. People who look for Google and Du Niang can imagine, especially in the era when telephones were not popularized decades ago, how to obtain massive amounts of information? Can only rely on manpower.

"The negotiation is still in progress. If the contract is not signed for a day, it cannot be considered a success." Although Yang Cheng said it cryptically, there are no stupid people present. In fact, this is equivalent to a disguised admission.

Robert Forbes laughed with that unique stage accent, "It's still young people who dare to fight hard. I heard that several directors of Comcast were furious when they heard the news, and even smashed several of their beloved antiques. I must To say, well done! Congratulations, Jason, you have a pretty good chance of being among the top 100 in the 2014 Global Billionaires List to be released next year."

The magazine published the asset status of the rich people back then, but it offended a lot of low-key bosses, including several directors of Comcast, so it is not surprising why Robert Forbes gloated.

But Robert Forbes, who is also an upper-class man in Manhattan, has a good relationship with Yang Sen, so he treats the descendants of his friends differently.

"The acquisition of DreamWorks was kept secret enough. I thought that New Era Media and Comcast were going to stage a fierce battle, but I didn't expect you to make a final decision. The great opportunity to make money was wasted like this." The one who interjected was New York financier Martin Gulus. He has retired, but this does not prevent him from making money in the stock market. Of course, he enjoys the fun that the stock market brings him more.

Conrad Koch also followed the topic and said, "To be honest, I haven't understood the operation mode of New Era Media so far. It seems that it was established overnight, raised billions overnight, and acquired it overnight. Many well-known companies do not have the steady and gradual progress of traditional companies at all. It is like a dream, which is a bit hard for me to accept.”

"Haha, Conrad, are you jealous of Jason getting rich? Your Koch family is a firm traditional industrialist. Of course, you don't understand the charm of the Internet, but existence is reasonable. You have to try to accept new things."

The person who answered the call was Trick Lamar, who can be regarded as the predecessor of the New York socialites such as Georgina and Amanda. She is a Broadway producer, and she is also a rich second generation. Her father is an old generation of Wall Street. An investor, the wealth of the family has stretched for several generations. Her life is the most representative of the word exquisite. It is said that there is no ordinary shirt in her cloakroom, and the worst one is made of cashmere. You must know the quality of this material The cheapest clothes cost $1,000.

Since the death of her husband, the old lady has no intention of taking care of mundane affairs and concentrates on enjoying life. She is the queen of parties in Palm Beach. Her guests range from rock stars to Canadian prime ministers, to Greek shipping tycoons and British nobles. Her luxurious manor has transformed into a holy place for carnival, and she often generously lends the manor to her friends for weddings. Her friends are all over the world, and no one has ever said anything bad about her, but on the other hand, her Hospitality is a sign of loneliness.

Konrad Koch spread his hands and said helplessly, "I'm working hard. Jason's Toutiao app is one of the apps I use every day. It's really good. When IPO of New Era Media, I will definitely support it."

But then the subject changed, "By the way, Jason, come find me later when you have time, let's chat alone, um~ about your cooperation with Roman."

Yang Cheng's heart tightened, and his sharp eyes flicked across Conrad's body. In the next second, he immediately thought that Abu also had real estate in Palm Beach, and he was a neighbor of Conrad.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand how Conrad knew about this matter, and if the Koch family is brought in, it will be more confident to resist EssenMobil's accusations.

They nodded to show that they understood, and the onlookers did not ask carefully. They saw the charades of the two of them, but they couldn't tell them apart. How could high-class people do something immoral like probing other people's privacy? move it.

Finally, Yang Cheng's mobile phone rang, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere. Yang Cheng took out her mobile phone and politely signaled to Conrad, who was in a higher position, "may I? (Can I?)"

Conrad quickly raised his hand and said, "Of course."

There is no way, the people present are all elders, Yang Cheng must follow the etiquette, foreigners are troublesome, and they have to respect the attitude of others when answering the phone.

Standing up with disbelief in his heart, he picked up the wine glass from the coffee table and strolled into the patio garden. After looking at the name on the caller ID, Shi Shiran answered the phone, "Old Liu, how is the investigation going?"

"Young Master Yang, thanks to the help of Andrew, with his help, we quickly caught several key people, followed the clues to investigate upwards, and the final evidence pointed to one person." Liu Jianjun dared not talk nonsense in the middle of business, Tell what happened quickly.

Yang Cheng spit out a word in a deep voice, "Who?"

"Park Donghae!"

Yang Cheng's face suddenly darkened, "It really is him, wait, no, he has the ability to influence Qing~Wa~tai?"

Liu Jianjun's tone faltered, "Eh~ I don't know about this question, but he must be the one who sent people to make trouble on our film set and bring Quan Ningyi to the hospital."

Yang Cheng frowned, and asked in bewilderment, "Didn't you check if there was anything wrong after he signed the land transfer contract with us?"

Liu Jianjun smiled wryly, "Young Master Yang, there's really no way to investigate this. This Pu Donghai's personality has changed a lot. He is suspicious every day. Even the route he took every day in the last class is different. Our people can't get close at all."

"Okay, I know about this, you stay put and send me someone to keep an eye on Pu Donghai, and tell me as soon as there is any change." Yang Cheng also has no ideas for the time being, he doesn't believe Pu Donghai and the banned theaters There are two groups of people, and there must be some kind of connection between the two. He must figure out the tangled and complicated relationship here before he can act, otherwise he will leave an opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of.

"I understand Young Master Yang. I sent two teams to monitor him in 24-hour shifts."

"Well~, has the theater resumed normal operation? Is there any ZF department to find fault?" Yang Cheng drank the red wine, hiccupped and asked.

"The theater has returned to normal, and the mood of the employees has not been affected, but there is something that I think you should know, Young Master Yang." Liu Jianjun said after a moment of hesitation.

"Say it."

"Quan Ningyi's printing factory was closed down by the relevant department because of the sewage problem, and the person responsible was also called in for questioning, but Quan Ningyi was saved because of serious injuries. Miss Jessica found Miss Sunny for some reason. There were several violent arguments between the two."

Yang Cheng crossed his hips, kicked the cobblestones by the garden with his feet, and said angrily, "Someone protects him? I fucked his eight generations of ancestors, and these people are against me?" He dared to swear to the lamp to save Quan Ning The person and the person who ordered to go to the theater to find fault are definitely in the same group. If not, he will not be able to take care of himself for the rest of his life.

"Young Master Yang, do we want to~" On the phone, it was difficult to speak clearly, but Yang Cheng understood Liu Jianjun's meaning, and he also wanted to kill Liu Jianjun, but he couldn't do that. Spread some positivity.

"No, how about this, you find a way to go to the hospital and call out the video surveillance to see if any suspicious person has entered Quan Ningyi's ward and had in-depth communication with him or Jessica."

"Okay, Young Master Yang."

Yang Cheng thought for a while, and made arrangements again, "Also, you send a few people to protect Sunny and Xu Xian secretly, so that no one will find out, as long as it's not a life-threatening situation, don't show up, just in case."

"Young Master Yang, don't worry, I'll make arrangements." Liu Jianjun knew that these two women were Yang Cheng's women, so he naturally didn't dare to neglect them.

. . .

Packing up his mood and returning to the living room, Yang Cheng heard a group of business leaders actively discussing the issue of the U.S. economy, and curled his lips speechlessly. These hypocritical guys gather together to discuss the economy when they have nothing to do. He intends to do something for the country and the people, but is thinking about how to reap greater benefits from the new round of economic trends, so whenever this kind of topic comes up, he will bow his head as much as possible and never make any comments.

But that was in the past, a decadent and old-fashioned rich second generation, naturally no one would care about his opinion, but now Yang Cheng has his own business, and the company is so big, with users all over the United States, in the eyes of outsiders, he If he is no longer a child, but a mature entrepreneur, his ideas and analysis will no longer be irrelevant.

But after he sat down again, Robert Forbes named him before his ass warmed up, "Jason, you just came back, we are discussing whether the US economy has started to recover, can you tell me your thoughts?"

Yang Cheng ordered a glass of red wine again, and did not show any timidity. Last week, he did a lot of data research for the acquisition of DreamWorks. He still had a fresh memory of various economic data in the United States. Combined with the memories of his previous life, he said with confidence, "In general , the United States has shown strong economic growth for the first time since the financial crisis in 2008. On the surface, it is not a problem to conclude that the economy is recovering.

Although GDP fell by 2.1% in the first quarter of this year, the extremely sluggish figure cast a heavy shadow over the whole country. It seems that people will continue to bear the pain of the economic crisis, but the fact is just the opposite. In the following quarters China is growing against the trend at a rate of about 4%, which is a very positive signal.

In fact, in my opinion, these data are all nonsense. We have complicated the problem. The most intuitive manifestation is the drop in oil prices. Global crude oil prices have plummeted by 50% since June. The direct impact is that heating costs will be reduced, transportation consumption expenditures will be reduced, and consumption will be boosted, which is the inevitable result.

In the U.S., personal consumption expenditures rose 4.3% in the third quarter and the fourth quarter, which was not yet completed. This was partly due to lower oil prices, which made room for spending on other consumption. As we all know, the steady growth of personal consumption expenditures , is an important factor driving the wealth effect. In addition, the recovery of the real estate market is an important indicator of economic stability. "

"So do you think oil prices will bottom out next year?"
