There was a Gulfstream V private plane waiting at Jakarta's Sukarno International Airport. Cao Minyuan's women did not follow. Only Shen Lin boarded the private plane and arrived at the manor on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. It was more than 3 p.m.
From boarding the private plane to being connected to the manor by a luxury Mercedes Benz, Shen Lin came to the open private golf course in the manor. Looking at the beautiful girls with hot bodies and cool clothes who swing and play in the course, he felt that he had once again broken into a new world, a world completely different from that experienced in the past few months.
Even a little grievance.
These people are working everywhere outside, but a man is so leisurely enjoying the luxury life of drinking and drinking.
Damn it.
At 4:30, Simon, who ended his half-hour meeting with a vice premier of Vietnam, finally appeared. When Shen Lin saw a man in the supporting cafe on the edge of the golf course, he immediately put away his scattered thoughts and subconsciously stood up.
"Sit down," Simon smiled, waved his hand and sat down opposite the girl. When Shen Lin sat down with him, he was not in a hurry to talk about business and asked, "how are you doing recently?"
Hearing this question, Shen Lin widened his eyes slightly.
How are things going?
Don't you know?!
Simon saw her reaction and immediately understood it. He smiled and said, "well, I think you must be very hard."
Very hard!
Shen Lin stressed a little in his heart, and asked politely, "Mr. westlow, how about you?"
Simon nodded, "very good."
The man answered simply, but Shen Lin couldn't help glancing next to him. There was an open glass window with a panoramic view of the scenery on the golf course.
Obviously, very good!
Speaking of it, at the beginning, Chen Qing arranged for her to go to the same luxurious seaside manor in San Lucas, Mexico, with a group of women. There was another night, which impressed her deeply. However, looking at the opposite side, maybe some guy doesn't remember at all. After all, so many, so many.
Simon took a sip of coffee, looked out of the window along Shen Lin's eyes, looked at the little expression of the woman opposite, probably understood, and bent his mouth: "can't you complain about being arranged for such a job?"
Shen Lin recovered and finally remembered the identity of the man opposite. Even if the other party was smiling, he subconsciously shook his head: "no, No."
"It's really a bad job. You shouldn't like it," Simon didn't mind her stumbling. Instead, he gave a positive answer and then said, "but I didn't expect that you, a woman, would do the best among a group of people."
Shen Lin was stunned.
Is that a compliment?
Think of Cao Minyuan's words on the way to the airport in Jakarta.
Sure enough.
Then, probably because of his affirmation, he felt some little joy that he didn't strive for success.
However, since the man opposite opened the conversation box, Shen Lin really held back his words for a long time and finally didn't spit out: "Mr. westero, with respect to Southeast Asia, um, with all due respect, I don't think it's a place worth investing too much."
Simon was noncommittal and asked, "why?"
Shen Lin organized a little language and said, "the business environment in these countries in Southeast Asia is really terrible. The authorities are entangled, gangs extort money, infrastructure is poor, and workers are lazy... In short, I can hardly find any advantages. Compared with Mr. westero, you can turn more investment to China."
"Don't talk about China," Simon shook his head and smiled. "I think according to you, these disadvantages are advantages to some extent."
Shen Lin thought he had heard wrong: "advantages?"
Simon said, "have you seen gone with the wind?"
Shen Lin didn't know why the topic suddenly changed, but he nodded: "it's a good book."
Simon said: "in this novel, Scarlett's lover, Rhett, has a very interesting argument, which I can't remember clearly. It probably means that war, change or chaos are the best environment for people to accumulate assets quickly and get rich overnight. As you just said, chaotic Southeast Asia is just one of them."
Seriously, as a doctor of political economics at the University of Oklahoma, Shen Lin really heard this argument for the first time.
Just... Just because he had enough knowledge accumulation, Shen Lin soon had to admit that a man's words were right to a great extent!
After all, a peaceful and stable environment often means that wealth and class are relatively solidified. It is difficult for some people to take the opportunity to accumulate large amounts of wealth.
However, this fallacy sounds very uncomfortable.
Simon saw that Shen Lin didn't answer and continued, "and, South Korea, do you understand?"
Turn again?
Shen Lin quickly recalled his understanding of South Korea. Then, without his boss continuing, he roughly understood what he wanted to say.
About the business environment.
Whether it was or is, the business environment in South Korea is definitely not good.
Mooncake boxes, cake boxes and other stems are known all over the world.
However, the chaebols in South Korea did not rise under such rules, but it was still the era of the military government that was more unfavorable to business development. In such an environment, the whole South Korea has jumped to the top of the four little dragons in Asia, and its per capita GDP once exceeded the $10000 mark a few years ago.
As for now, Shen Lin certainly knows the penetration of Westeros system into South Korea.
Then again, if it were not for these problems in South Korea, how could foreign capital have so many opportunities?
Looking at Southeast Asian countries, in addition to different levels of economic development, many other aspects are actually the same. Otherwise, how did a series of top tycoons in Southeast Asia similar to the South Korean Chaebol family come from?
At the same time, the poor business environment in Southeast Asia also provides a space for capital to get rid of all kinds of open rules.
For example, a factory with serious pollution will not be approved by the national authorities under normal circumstances. However, in an abnormal country and an abnormal business environment, if the management is enough, the factory will be built.
Another example is the case they recently dealt with in Jakarta.
If it happens in other countries with strict order and is harassed by gangs, you don't have a good way to deal with it.
People go in and shut up for a few days. When they come out, they continue to make trouble until you close the door.
Controlling violence with violence will provoke coquettish.
On the contrary, in Indonesia, which is already chaotic, some people are missing.
It's no use calling the police!
In the final analysis, no matter what kind of environment, there is no lack of winners who rise step by step by adapting to the environment.
Simon gave Shen Lin some time to digest. Seeing that she gradually showed a clear expression, he continued: "moreover, according to my understanding, the problems you just said have been well resolved by you these days. This is also the reason why I specially asked you to come and meet."
Shen Lin took back his thoughts. After listening to the man, he paused and finally couldn't help complaining: "but, Mr. westlow, it's not easy."
How to solve various problems?
It's actually very simple.
It's nothing more than seeing the move. If you get entangled, you will give money. If you blackmail, you will start work. If you can't build infrastructure, you can't solve it. The workers are lazy, eliminated and replaced... However, when these things are done one by one, Shen Lin feels that he is about the same as Cao Minyuan. He is a doctor studying in the United States and has become a black businessman.
Simon saw Shen Lin complaining and smiled with understanding: "the environment here is really not easy for you, a woman. If you don't want to continue, I can arrange you to change a position now."
Shen Lin immediately opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Change?
Subconsciously, of course.
If you can do business cleanly, who wants to roll in this mud pond?
Just think again, I have achieved the current level. Most of the $700 million asset list I got at the beginning has been handled smoothly. Now I replace it. Isn't it a waste of previous efforts?
No change?
From the bottom of my heart, it's hard to like what I'm doing now.
However, Shen Lin is not a person who likes to give up.
Simon waited for a moment and saw that she didn't answer. He smiled and said, "since you're unwilling, go on."
The man made a decision for himself and let Shen Lin breathe a sigh of relief. Then he couldn't help but stare at him gently. Zhou peeled his skin and waited for him here, right?
Simon smiled and said again, "seriously, you did a great job. You sorted out a lot of things in just a few months. Compared with other people, they can be said to be business elites, but few can adapt to the business environment in Southeast Asia."
Again?
Shen Lin felt that he could not continue to be a donkey who started running when he saw a carrot. He took the initiative and said, "in that case, boss, do I have any reward?"
Simon said, "what do you want?"
Shen Lin gave another meal and said quickly, "I haven't thought about it yet, but I think the boss won't be stingy?"
"Of course," Simon saw the woman kick the ball back to himself. After a little thought, he said, "give you a special private plane. It will be more convenient to run around Southeast Asia."
Shen Lin said discontentedly, "let me work hard for you?"
"It can also be used for travel," Simon smiled. "By the way, what did you sit when you came?"
"Gulfstream V," said Shen Lin, and said simply, "I'll take this one. How about it?"
The Gulfstream V, in addition to its own boss's Boeing 767, is basically the most luxurious private business aircraft at present. The current price is close to $40 million, which can directly carry out ultra long-range flight across the Pacific Ocean.
Shen Lin thought about the general information of the private plane. He felt a little guilty and soon became confident again. It's not too much to use, not to ask directly.
"No problem." Simon readily agreed, without beating around the Bush, and then said, "so, let's talk about your next job?"
Shen Lin immediately felt that he was going to be less?
ok
In fact, Shen Lin doesn't feel that she has been wronged. In addition to the base salary of $100000 a year, the original agreement signed by Shen Lin can successfully revitalize this asset. In the future, she and her asset management team can get rich rewards, such as profits, She will personally get 5% every year in the future.
According to the current asset disposal progress, Shen Lin secretly calculated that in two or three years, it will be easy to earn more than one million dollars a year.
In the global business circle, those with a base salary plus bonus plus options of tens of millions of dollars every year are only a few, more than one million dollars, which is already a very high income for professional managers.
Thinking so, Shen Lin felt that he really had nothing to complain about. Seeing the man mention the follow-up, he nodded: "OK."
Simon went on: "I've talked with many people these days. They are all the local leaders in Southeast Asia. Next, Westeros system will launch some large projects in Southeast Asia, all of which are at the level of hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. Ah, as I just said, you can well balance the forces in all aspects of chaotic Southeast Asia, which is just suitable for coming forward and coordinating these projects."
Shen Lin didn't expect his boss to play so big suddenly. He thought he would let him take over more other assets replaced last year. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but advise: "boss, I think you should think about it seriously. Here... For example, if you invest in a $1 billion project, I'm even worried that more than half of it may be divided by the local snake melon. They really don't follow the rules."
Shen Lin wants to tell the boss that you don't want to be a wrongdoer in this broken place.
Simon smiled, "speaking of rules, Shen, do you think I'm a man of rules?"
Shen Lin didn't react for a while.
Simon continued himself: "just yesterday afternoon, I met a close friend of Suharto. He also mentioned some things about you in Indonesia recently."
Shen Lin is excited and nervous.
It's not a good thing to be watched by the authorities these days.
Simon gave her a soothing look, He smiled and said: "It's OK. Let's be honest. I'm a businessman, but I don't deny that I'm definitely not a pure businessman. My business can make money here, and I won't be stingy about the benefits that should be given to them. The same is true for the next projects. You can cooperate together and win-win. However, if they don't want to pay anything, they just want to lose my money, I will never be soft. I can persuade Washington to impose sanctions on them, I can put their whole family on the wanted list of Interpol, I can seal up all their tens of billions of assets hidden overseas, I can fund their domestic opposition, completely overturn the chairs under their hips, and even, if necessary, a war is actually very simple. "
Shen Lin listened to a series of strong and arrogant words from the man opposite him. He had no doubt that he could achieve all this. At the same time, he suddenly remembered Cao Minyuan's words about her and them. Now, she thinks that he, himself and Cao Minyuan are all the same!
