Chen Qing has only one person to come over, and it's not easy to have a meal with her boss. It's a disappointment to bring a companion gift to the table.
After a hug and greeting, they sat down at the dinner table and ordered a meal. Chen Qing skillfully started the topic. As usual, she talked about all kinds of trivial things she had recently experienced, such as the family ethics scenes related to her boss's vase.
Simon didn't rush to get down to business either. When Chen Qing finished speaking, he also mentioned a small matter: "in China, what we casually talked about when entertaining guests on Thursday can be planned recently, so that Jinshu can set up a new media operation Department, and use igritte's YouTube website as a platform to release all kinds of videos showing Chinese culture."
His boss's tone was casual. When Chen Qing heard the topic of entertaining guests on Thursday, she cheered up, but didn't ask too many questions. She said on the matter of fact, "I remember elite has a new media operation Department. Is that so?"
"Different, because of its local advantages, elite is oriented to a full range of social networking platforms, and the Internet Celebrities created by elite are more focused on the fashion field. On your side, platforms such as Facebook or instagram can only be regarded as auxiliary. The core is the YouTube website. Oh, it's easier to realize through advertising. For you, it's also a way to earn foreign exchange. If you do it well, your income will be very rich. You can also get the honor of promoting Chinese culture overseas. Don't underestimate that. "
Simon said that, the most emotional thing in his heart is that there is no wall in China.
There will be walls sooner or later.
However, as long as Jinshu starts to drive a large number of mainland related teams to develop on youtube, even if there is a wall, it is still easy to open a small door.
"I understand," Chen Qing nodded. Of course, she knew the actual energy of the aura that seemed to be untouchable. After a little thought, she still had no clue and asked, "boss, what should I do?"
Simon said casually: "for example, open a column called" China on the tip of the tongue ", visit all kinds of traditional food in China, record the production process and explain the cultural implication. Another example is to find a cook named Wang Gang, who can cook all kinds of Chinese home dishes... "
Chen Qing began to understand, very inspired, then a little confused, interrupted: "boss, what Wang Gang?"
Simon naturally: "what is the English name in your foreign language textbooks?"
"Tom, Lucy."
"That's it. I'll just give you an example. It doesn't matter if you look for Li Gang or his son."
Chen Qing looks at her boss's solemn expression and suddenly feels that it should not be like this, but she has no evidence.
Simon then said: "also, choose a small mountain village with beautiful scenery and find a girl. You can name it yourself. Choose a literary and artistic point, not Han Meimei. Then you can take pictures of all kinds of daily life which also contains the meaning of traditional Chinese culture, such as sowing seeds in spring, eating watermelon and picking grapes in summer, playing cotton in autumn and smoked bacon in winter There are also Xiangbao and zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival, lantern making and lantern making for the Lantern Festival, moon cakes for the Mid Autumn Festival, and new year's money for making dumplings. Do you understand? "
Chen Qing nodded again and hesitated: "boss, is anyone watching this?"
"If you go to Youtube and have a look, it's not all trivial things. We just kill time. The key is to be interesting and beautiful. Remember to find professionals." Simon said this, and added: "do you know that?"
"I know."
"The most important thing in the world is people, and China has to choose more candidates for cultivation. It's like breeding poisonous insects. There will always be success."
Chen Qing promised again. She was already thinking about whether the contract for raising Gu would be suitable for 8 years or 10 years. It seems that 12 years is a little long, and 5 years is too short. She continued to ask for creativity from her boss: "boss, do you have any more?"
"There are countless kinds of Chinese traditional skills, such as pottery making, tea frying, wood art, etc.; various scenic spots, such as exploring the secluded and strange, searching for martial arts; all kinds of rural gardens, picking chrysanthemums under the East fence, and making green plum around the bed."
Chen Qing simply took out a notebook from her bag to quickly record it. At last, she kindly reminded her, "boss, it's not the countryside that you're talking about making green plum around the bed."
Simon laments that girls in this era are still too pure. Do you think "picking chrysanthemums under the East fence" is a rural garden?
Naive!
The expression is still serious, but also pretended to be angry: "concentrate on your memory."
Chen Qing spat out her tongue and pretended to be cute: "boss, you also continue."
Simon hesitated a little. He thought that one million reasons for eating bamboo mice were not enough. Now the girl named bullet screen is not popular, and foreigners can't see the beauty of the words "kill rat mountain villa".
Homophonic stems need to be deducted.
So he concluded: "that's about it."
Chen Qing wrote down one by one, combed it quickly, and then said, "boss, I feel that these are similar to documentaries?"
Simon said: "some of them can be made into documentaries, such as" China on the tip of the tongue ". For most of the others, you can refer to the videos on youtube, which are characterized by life, personalization and fragmentation, giving the audience a sense of everyday life. The biggest advantage of doing so is that the cost will be very low. A person or a camera can complete a documentary Record. The standard term for this form of media in the United States is "We Media", which can be translated into Chinese as we media. Of course, what the audience sees is everyday, but you can't really shoot casually. If you want the audience to pay for it, you should carefully prepare interesting scripts and copywriting in advance. "[Reading welfare] give you a red envelope! Pay attention to the VX public and get it!
Chen Qing wrote it down again.
After another chat, lunch was delivered, and both of them had less words. Only when we had almost finished lunch did we get back to business.
Mainly South Korea.
In November, when winter begins in the United States, the time delay is one hour, and the time difference with Asia expands again. The difference between Los Angeles and Beijing has changed from 15 hours to 16 hours.
So it's after midnight in Asia.
On Monday local time, after last week's thrilling Hong Kong Financial showdown, Southeast Asia did not usher in a peaceful period when a large number of international speculators were expected to retreat.
Last week's close was too high. In addition, many people already know that the bottom line of the Hang Seng index is 10000 points. As a result, the Hong Kong stock market fell 3.6% all day on Monday after three consecutive days of sharp rise last week, from 11507 points at the close on Friday to 11092 points. However, we all know that this is only a natural adjustment of the Hang Seng Index.
In addition, the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the US dollar has been firmly locked at the highest level of 7.75 to 1.
Unlike stock index futures, which usually require about 10% margin, because the leverage of exchange rate futures is often more than 100 times, the exchange rate of Hong Kong dollar seems to fluctuate by only 1.04% in the last two hours of last Wednesday, which has led to many exchange rate short positions exploding directly. Coupled with the withdrawal of Wall Street short positions against Hong Kong dollar, no one dares to short Hong Kong dollar now.
Security has been restored in Hong Kong.
In contrast, international speculators in South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and other countries or regions have not been affected by the financial events in Hong Kong.
Simon said when chatting with his two brothers at the weekend that this game may end in some areas, but it is still going on as a whole.
Ordinary people or outsiders may take it for granted that after the international short sellers have made a big fall in Hong Kong, they should stop fighting. As a matter of fact, all the people who should have received the message have been accepted.
The feast is not over.
In addition to Hong Kong, other regions, we are still at random.
Of course, the short sellers in Europe and Asia who have just made a big fall will inevitably be more vigilant. However, how to put it in that sentence? The only lesson that history has taught mankind is that mankind has never learned a lesson.
Wall Street has just made a lot of money. Of course, it wants to make more. Other international capital, which has just made a big comeback in Hong Kong, must be made up in other markets as much as possible.
So it goes on.
Among other things, South Korea, which is the focus of the westero system, once again killed stocks, bonds and foreign exchange all day on Monday. After rising slightly with the trend on Thursday and Friday, the Korean won against the US dollar fell 4.1% again on Monday, from 1712 won to 1782 won.
In the executive restaurant of Malibu studios.
Chen Qing put down the tableware, wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, and said: "boss, according to the latest news we got, the foreign exchange reserve that the Bank of Korea can use has dropped from more than US $7.6 billion at the beginning of last month to the current US $4.3 billion, which is the result of South Korea's letting the won float freely and the recent emergency lending. At present, with the slowing escape speed of foreign capital, South Korea still needs us $1.5 billion to US $2 billion per week. This money can only last for three weeks at most. Even if there are various supplements during this period, it is impossible to survive the one-time need to repay us $30 billion of debts due at the end of December. "
Simon has been holding a cup of coffee in his hand. After smelling and combing for a moment, he found that it was obviously different from the information he once remembered.
It's expected.
Capital like the westero system has been quietly pushing for South Korea. It's strange that there is no difference.
So he asked, "has the South Korean authorities responded to our conditions?"
Chen Qing nodded and shook her head again: "before I came to Hong Kong, I had a phone call with the general secretary of Jin Yongsan, who I met with. Qingwatai was still in urgent consultation, and there was still a trial, hoping to open the 50% foreign ownership restriction for the time being. I just hung up his phone."
Simon laughed and said, "we're not in a hurry. In any case, South Korea lost the game."
Chen Qing also agreed with him with a smile and turned to say: "however, boss, I have read some of the arrangements in your e-mail. At the right time, contact the foreign debt holding institutions of South Korea to suspend debt collection from South Korea. If it was before the Hong Kong side started, it would not be a big problem. Now, those European and Asian financial institutions that have been cheated by us in Hong Kong should not be easy Do you agree? "
South Korea's total foreign debt exceeds US $100 billion, with North America, Europe and Asia each accounting for one third. Indeed, if Simon reaches an agreement with South Korea and then tries to push all creditors to stop the run, European and Asian capital, which has just been pocketed, will not be willing to cooperate.
It's not impossible to say the opposite.
Simon is not worried about this: "if they do not cooperate, the worst situation is that we will spend 30 billion US dollars to help South Korea through the year-end pass. Moreover, this" bad "is only for South Korea. The more we subsidize, the deeper our control over South Korea's economy will be. After the end of the new year, as long as we support, the won will return to stability, and South Korea's continuous export funds can gradually make up for the relevant gap. "Chen Qing thought for a moment and asked, "boss, do you think that the capital of Europe and Asia will be bullish on South Korea because we are bullish on South Korea? I mean, after reaching the rescue agreement, they will continue to short and pit us like Hong Kong?"
"What's the matter?"
"Continue to run, we are optimistic about and put a lot of money into the enterprise bankruptcy, and even in the form of creditors take over from our hands."
"There's a possibility," Simon said with a smile, "but now that you've thought about it, we certainly won't allow it to happen."
Chen Qing nodded again: "of course."
Simon said with a smile: "what's more, if you don't look at the debt ratio of Korean enterprises, they are often 300% or even more than 500%. Robbing things from us is equivalent to losing three to five times of the net assets. Robbing things from us. Even if someone wants to be so stupid, I don't think the board of directors or shareholders behind the scenes of those organizations will allow a few people to be angry And do it. "
"Boss, I also want to say this. When we take over those enterprises, you don't worry about the high debt?"
"It's your business. You don't know that those debts are the debts of the chaebol as a whole. We are interested in relatively high-quality enterprises. Therefore, as long as you do a good job in restructuring and divestiture and control the debt of a single enterprise within a certain range, there will be no problem. "
Chen Qing thought about it for a moment, but she did not continue.
At first glance, it seems to mean that the westero system can only control part of the chaebols by doing so, but think about it again, there is no part of the argument based on the intertwined organizational structure of the chaebols in South Korea. The most high-quality core enterprises that have controlled the relevant chaebols need to rely more on core enterprises because of poor operating conditions or high debts. Otherwise, they will die.
As long as it works properly, it is equivalent to that the westero system only obtains a large number of assets, but does not need to bear too much debt.
When Simon saw that Chen Qing fully understood it, he said another thing: "when you go back to New York this time, you can stop by Washington and have more exchanges with the IMF. Besides, the Ministry of finance can find time to meet Bob Rubin to ensure that our plan will not deviate from Washington."
Chen Qing said: "boss, why is it so troublesome? Why don't we directly appoint someone to lead the IMF negotiations? Now we should have such strength?"
"Do you want to be named by mass unemployed Koreans in the next few years?"
Chen Qing shook her head: "I don't want to."
"Therefore, we should try our best to stand behind the scenes, including you going to South Korea with the IMF team next, and try to keep a low profile as much as possible. If you can't show up, don't show up. As for our chessmen in South Korea, we should also let them mix in as little as possible. This time, the IMF is a target for South Koreans to vent their curses. We just stand behind the scenes and do our own things. "
Chen Qing nodded solemnly: "boss, I remember."
Simon got up and said, "that's it for today."
Chen Qing stood up and walked out with her boss. She wanted to pull her hand intimately. Unfortunately, the occasion was not right. She thought of something about Taixi and said with a smile, "boss, you should have seen the picture of my hand present. Do you want me to leave her in Los Angeles?"
"No," Simon said, "it's a nice woman. Let her do something later."
Chen Qing regrets: "the boss doesn't want it?"
"When are you going back to Asia?"
"The boss said I'll go back whenever I go back."
"Oh, I'm going to Mexico to rest this weekend. I'm going down to a seaside manor in San Lucas, California. If you happen to, you can bring her here to play."
Chen Qing nodded happily and said, "boss, is there anyone else?"
"Yes," Simon did not hide: "some time ago, some female stars from Hong Kong came here to audition. I chose two big beauties and went there together."
Chen Qing did not ask which two beauties she was, but asked keenly, "is there anything else?"
"I don't know. It depends on the mood."
Chen Qing pretended to regret: "I thought I could spend the weekend alone with my boss."
Simon said, "you pretend they don't exist. You're spending the weekend alone with me."
Chen Qing looks adored: "good idea, the boss is wise."
Two people just entered the elevator, in addition to the two bodyguards who came in together, no one else, Simon said to the girl beside him with a smile: "come on, let me take a picture, you can't always take advantage of me."
