Volume 2 The Commodity Society Chapter 120 Karina
Not long after staying at Shangri-La, Cai Shuqing arrived. Now that she is a public figure, of course she has to be extra careful in her actions, and this time she came to see Chen Feng on purpose. Hong Kong is a paparazzi's paradise, especially since she is still the agent of FENGCHEN, who has never seen the end of the dragon, naturally she has attracted more attention from media reporters. UP TO NOW, MANY MEDIA REPORTERS HAVE BEEN STARING AT HER, HOPING TO DIG OUT FENGCHEN'S TRUE IDENTITY FROM HER, SO AS TO BECOME FAMOUS IN THE INDUSTRY IN ONE FELL SWOOP.
Seeing her boss again, Cai Shuqing was very excited, her state, of course, is inseparable from the recent hot sales of the third part of "Harry Potter". The book sells a lot, and his dual identity as the owner of the publisher and the author's agent makes a lot of money.
After the two talked about "Harry Potter", Barrister Mak Xiangdong also took the time to come, so the group went to the VIP restaurant downstairs for dinner, and the atmosphere was very harmonious and lasted for nearly two hours before dispersing. Before parting, Cai Shuqing sent him an invitation to attend a private party at her house tomorrow night, and formally introduced her family to him. Although Chen Feng was not interested in these upper-class gatherings, when he saw that she sincerely invited and wanted to introduce his family to him, he refused out of politeness, so he agreed.
In the evening, under Cai Shuqing's arrangement, Chen Feng and his son had the honor to visit the night view of Hong Kong with red leaves. Hongye was coming to Hong Kong for the first time, and she was very excited, holding the digital video camera that Chen Feng bought for her, and she couldn't finish shooting. I played until eleven o'clock. The group went to the Temple Street Night Market to eat snacks again, and the stomach was round, and the time was almost one o'clock, and the group returned to the hotel to rest.
Chen Feng originally wanted to share a room with Hongye, but Hongye was hindered by Chen Dayong's father-in-law, so he resolutely asked for a single room for himself, and Chen Feng had no choice but to ask for a single room opposite her. But. When everyone went back to their rooms to rest, Chen Feng and Hongye naturally slept together in the single room that Hongye wanted. Somewhere else. Hongye slept alone, of course, she was a little scared, but as soon as Chen Feng insisted, she obeyed. The two lingered in love all night, and they didn't fall asleep until three or four o'clock in the morning.
When the two woke up the next day, it was already ten o'clock, and Momiji hurriedly urged him to get dressed and go back to the room. The two of them finished freshening up. When he came to the restaurant downstairs to meet Chen Dayong, Chen Dayong looked at the two of them with a thief grinning, how did the two of them not know that he found out about staying together last night, Chen Feng didn't care very much, but Hongye immediately blushed, didn't even eat breakfast, and ran back to the room with his head down.
"Son, this is the wolfberry stewed bullwhip that Dad specially ordered for you. It's very compensating. Also, although Dad really wants to hug his grandson as soon as possible, you are still young after all, you have to take it easy, you can't be too playful, you know?" Chen Dayong squeezed his eyebrows at his son with a pun.
Chen Feng gave his father a big roll of his eyes angrily. However, it was the "wolfberry stewed bullwhip" that was picked up, and the three times five divided by two were solved. After eating it himself, of course, he didn't forget to prepare it for Momiji, and immediately asked for a basket of fried buns and sent it to Momiji.
In the room, Chen Feng was of course indispensable for a burst of "beating" and complaining about the red leaves. However, Chen Feng is of course willing to do this.
After waiting for Hongye to eat breakfast or lunch, Chen Feng asked Mai Xiangdong to contact Karina to meet in the conference room on the fifth floor of the hotel.
At about eleven o'clock, Karina, a blonde beauty, accompanied by Mai Xiangdong, came to the conference room together. I met Chen Dayong, father and son, and Hongye surrounded by more than a dozen bodyguards.
Chen Dayong and Hongye were previously told by Chen Feng that he was about to interview a Western beauty. But I didn't expect this beauty to be so beautiful, and she still looked so young. Chen Feng had seen Karina's photos before. But in reality, Karina herself is obviously much more beautiful than in the photos.
Almost 1.75 meters tall, with supple blonde hair coiled high behind her head, bright eyes full of wisdom, straight nose, Greek sculpture-like delicate face, towering breasts, beautiful curves, with her conditions, it would be a pity not to be a model. Her whole body stood there, looking very noble and elegant.
Compared with the surprise of Chen Feng and the others, Karina can be said to be even more surprised in her heart, she had already known that a wealthy Chinese businessman wanted to hire her, but she didn't expect it to be such a peculiar combination. She had to wonder if today's interview was a prank. But the headhunter company that found her is internationally renowned, and has prepared air tickets for her in advance between Hong Kong and the United States. Thinking about it this way, she felt that this time it shouldn't be a prank, and the two novels in front of her might not be a family.
"Hello, I'm Karina, it's a pleasure to meet you. As soon as Karina opened her mouth, she was very fluent in Xiuzhou-style Mandarin, which suddenly surprised Chen Feng and the three of them.
Chen Feng let those bodyguards go out first, and then happily introduced her in English: "Hello, Karina, I am the person who interviewed you this time, and in the future, as long as you pass my interview, then your boss will also be me." This is my father, Mr. Chen Dayong, and this is my girlfriend, Ms. Momiji. ”
Karina said in English with an expression of disbelief: "Oh God, you're not kidding. You look like you're only 18 years old at most. Am I mistaken about what the headhunters told me? They seem to say that they have a $2 million annual salary to offer me. ”
Chen Feng looked at her and said sincerely: "Karina, you are not wrong. As long as you pass my interview, you can get a job with an annual salary of $2 million and be the CEO of an international holding investment company with 10 billion dollars of investment funds, it's not a joke, it's true. ”
"Oh God! God!" Karina's eyes widened as she covered her mouth slightly. It's no wonder she looks like that. $10 billion is not a small number. And the Oriental teenager in front of him actually said that he would use the money to set up an investment company and let her serve as the CEO of the company, that is, she will have the right to operate the 10 billion US dollars in the future. Thinking about it like this, she felt a little dizzy.
Mai Xiangdong also explained to her on the side: "Miss Karina, this Mr. Chen Feng is my client, you don't have to doubt it at all. He has the ability to start an investment company. ”
"Oh, I'm sorry. I was just a little taken aback. It's a bit unbelievable, I dreamed of running an investment fund on my own, but I didn't expect this opportunity to be delivered to me. Thank God!" Karina drew a cross, calmed down, and continued, "Then, Mr. Chen." Now, you can start interviewing me. ”
Karina sat solemnly opposite Chen Fengdi.
To be honest, Chen Feng was a little disappointed with this Western beauty just now. Because in his opinion, the appearance of her fuss just now was obviously immature and uncalm, which did not match Chen Feng's impression of a successful business manager, but Chen Feng has always trusted his instincts very much. Since my instinct told myself at the beginning. If this beautiful woman in front of him is qualified to be the CEO of his new company, then she should have something special.
Before Chen Feng could speak, Chen Dayong on the side first said to his son in Xiuzhou dialect: "Xiaofeng, are you mistaken? This foreign woman is almost the same as being a star, how can you invite her to be the general manager of the company?
Chen Dayong's idea of "judging people by their appearance" is not immune to many people. Even Momiji, a bystander, felt that such a beautiful woman could not be qualified for the position of CEO of a large company.
Chen Feng just wanted to explain a few words to Karina, but saw that she suddenly said in Xiuzhou dialect: "Thank you Mr. Chen for your compliment." Actually, when I was a child, I really wanted to be a star, but since I was admitted to university, my ambition is to be the president of an investment company. In addition, I had three years of experience as an assistant to the president of 3I Investments in the UK. He has some experience in international investment. I am now working as a division manager in the investment department of the Rockefeller Corporation in the United States, and I have successfully managed nearly a billion dollars in investments. At present, the return on investment of all three is around 10%, and it was also commended by the president of our company earlier this year. I think I'm up to the position of CEO of your company. ”
This time, Chen Feng and the others were even more surprised than she spoke Mandarin just now. This foreign girl is very remarkable to be able to speak Mandarin, and it is surprising that she can also speak Xiuzhou dialect, one of the most difficult dialects to learn in China. However, Chen Feng then thought that her old ** ancestral home seemed to be Xiuzhou, so he was relieved. But despite this, he had to be amazed at the language talent of this foreign girl. This will undoubtedly give him extra points.
Chen Dayong saw that the "bad words" he said were understood by this foreign girl, and he was somewhat embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "I didn't expect you to know our Xiuzhou dialect, just now I was just talking about things." ”
Karina said confidently: "Mr. Chen, there is an old Chinese saying that 'people cannot be looked at, and the sea cannot be measured', so you should not 'judge people by their appearance'. ”
Chen Dayong laughed, didn't mind, and said to his son: "Xiaofeng, since she said so, you can test her well, if you think it is appropriate, I have no objection." ”
Chen Feng nodded, and then asked Karina, "Can you tell me about the economic shape of the United States now?" and predict the future economic trend of the United States. ”
"Good land!" Karina was obviously prepared, and began to talk eloquently, "The U.S. economy is the foundation of the U.S. national strategy, and it is also the cornerstone of the U.S. global control. In recent years, the U.S. economy has been exceptionally prosperous, with sustained and strong economic growth, becoming an important pillar of world economic growth, but there are also hidden dangers lurking behind the economic boom. Since 1991, the U.S. economy has grown for nine consecutive years. In the past 1999, the US economy continued to maintain a strong growth momentum, and inflation continued to be effectively controlled. It is estimated that the U.S. economy grew at around 4% last year, and inflation is still only 2.2% despite the doubling of crude oil prices. Economists remain optimistic about the outlook for the U.S. economy this year. According to the latest forecast of the Standard Pur company, the US economy will grow by 3.6% this year, and the inflation rate will be 2.3%. However, the economic boom is likely to lead to a rise in inflation. Therefore, analysts generally believe that the US Federal Reserve is likely to raise interest rates again in February this year in order to cool the economy. But at the same time, they believe that the Fed will not take overboard actions, and even raising interest rates will not have a serious impact on the economy. This is because, thanks to the great increase in efficiency of information technology such as the Internet, labor productivity growth in the United States has accelerated considerably, reaching an estimated 2.8 per cent last year and is expected to rise by 2.2 per cent this year, which is still well above the average of the past 25 years. On the one hand, rising labor productivity is good for curbing inflation, and on the other hand, it helps the Fed to stick to its policy of slowing the economy down rather than putting the brakes on it. Merrill Lynch expects sales of networking equipment to increase 22 percent this year. Yankee Research expects U.S. mobile subscribers to increase by 21 percent this year to 105 million. Forest Research expects total sales to businesses and consumers through the Guò network to double this year to $330 billion from last year, and could double again next year. At the same time, however, the U.S. foreign trade balance is expected to continue to deteriorate this year, mainly due to the economic growth imbalance between the U.S. and other regions. Moreover, it seems to me that the stock market bubble phenomenon in the United States is very serious right now. At present, the phenomenon of excess value in US stock prices is very strict, the value of shares far exceeds the scale of actual economic development, and the stock market "bubble" component is as high as 15% to 20%, once the economic and financial situation suddenly changes, it may lead to a sharp shock and fall in the US and global stock markets at the same time, repeating the tragic scene of the global stock market in 1997. There is also the dramatic increase in debt, and the United States is still the largest debtor in the world...... According to my analysis, in the next one or two years, the bubble of the U.S. stock market will burst, and the Internet technology stocks will bear the brunt of the blow, but I am still very optimistic about the development prospects of the U.S. Internet industry in the long run. ”
After he finished his tirade, Chen Feng could only be described as surprised, it was really "people can't be good-looking", she actually saw the crisis of the current U.S. stock market bubble, which is very rare, and she also has a very good investment vision, and she thought of it together, when the U.S. stock market bubble bursts, take advantage of the fire, which is very important.
