"Have the guests I invited arrived?" Peng Bo and Heyinwei were chatting, and Joseph's laughter came from outside the door, "Remember, your specialty dish must be served today, that...yes, stir-fried crab powder."
"
This hotel attaches great importance to seasonal food. This season is the busiest time at Villa Mahler, and the demand for stir-fried crabmeat exceeds supply.
Peng Bo couldn't help but burst into laughter. For a foreigner who was so familiar with Chinese food, Joseph couldn't escape the comments of a foodie.
The door was pushed open from the outside, and Joseph walked in with a smile. Behind him was a foreigner wearing a plaid shirt. He was of medium height and not too tall among foreigners. When he saw Peng Bo and Heinwei, he immediately burst into smiles.
"Donald, thank you for the honor." Joseph did not focus on Heinwei. "Please allow me to introduce my best buddy in college." He emphasized the word "buddy" in half-baked Chinese, "Wealth."
Editorial Director of the Magazine—Mu Ruilan.”
Heinwei looked at Peng Bo. Although Joseph did not mention who the other guest was tonight, Peng Bo had already determined that he would be a representative of a financial media. As expected, Heinwei was surprised that not only
The representative of financial media is also a world-renowned financial media.
As a world-renowned financial magazine, Fortune is a subsidiary of Time Inc., a subsidiary of Time Warner Group. Since the launch of the Global 500 list in 1954, Fortune has always been the focus of attention in the economic community and has a huge influence.
The series of financial forums organized by Fortune magazine are a feast for the world's financial, business and media circles. One of the most eye-catching ones is the famous Fortune Global Forum, the annual meeting of the world's top 500 companies.
"Hello, Lao Mu." Mu Ruilan, this name is much better than Rambo. At least it is more Chinese and has more Chinese cultural flavor.
"Hello, fellow countryman." Mu Ruilan wore black-rimmed glasses on her nose, making her whole person look more elegant.
Wait, fellow?
Peng Bo looked at Joseph and then at Heinwei. Joseph smiled and said, "You are wrong, Donald is a true Chinese."
Mu Ruilan casually put his coat on the Taishi chair and blinked, "Ruth, the founder of our Fortune magazine, was born in Penglai, Shanhai, China in 1898. His father was our American Christian missionary. When he was a child, he was
If you study in Shanhai, you can be considered a Shanhai person, so Donald, you and Fortune magazine are also from the same country."
Oh, Peng Bo couldn't laugh or cry. When talking about fellow countrymen, it was all about 1898, and it was all about the originator of Fortune magazine. But seeing that people were trying so hard to get to know him, a fellow countryman, he could only smile and accept it.
"Since we are fellow countrymen, I will be here tonight to welcome you to Huhai, China." Peng Bo solemnly extended his hand.
"That won't work. We agreed tonight that I'll treat you." Joseph disagreed.
"I feel like I'm home." Mu Ruilan sat down next to Peng Bo, "It's really nice here. No wonder Joseph doesn't want to go back to the United States."
"Of course, the food here is so delicious. You can't eat it in Chinatown. Serve." Joseph said the last two words more skillfully, and then shrugged at Mu Ruilan.
Soon, delicacies with full color, flavor and flavor were brought to the table, and the steamed crab meat was also served. The crab oil was plump and red, and the crab meat was fragrant and tender. Wrap it in a roll and stuff it into your mouth. The mellow fragrance overflows in your mouth instantly...
Mu Ruilan's lips and teeth were fragrant after eating, and her hands were full of oil, but she was still clumsily rolling the pancakes by herself.
"This is the specialty dish of the executive chef here. How about it?" Joseph picked up the cup again.
"The food is delicious, a thousand times better than what I had in Chinatown. However," Mu Ruilan held the cup and clinked it with Peng Bo, "but we are more interested in another financial dish.
"
Peng Bo smiled, and sure enough, he got to the point.
When it comes to the topic, a smart person's approach is to say nothing. Joseph automatically sits on the bench and Mu Ruilan comes on the stage.
"Donald, I flew from New York to Shanghai for fifteen hours," he said easily but solemnly, "In a nutshell, we have taken a fancy to your list of the top 100 real estate companies in China. Our Fortune magazine
I hope it will be published in the next issue of the magazine.”
The red wine was slowly swaying in the transparent glass. Peng Bo did not speak. No one wanted to talk nonsense, and the private room fell into silence for a while.
Mu Ruilan smiled and said, "I came directly from New York after I got the news. We have already missed your list of rich people, and we don't want to miss the real estate list again. Before we came, our editor-in-chief Mr. Wilson said that wealth is this
The best destination for a list, we have set aside the best space for this list.”
"But, Lao Mu," Peng Bo drank down the red wine in his glass, "since we are all fellow villagers, I can only tell you that you are a step too late."
"A step too late?" The smile on Mu Ruilan's face suddenly froze, "Is it Forbes? Actually, I think you can change to other media, which may have better results..."
"No, it's not Forbes, it's Time."
"Time Magazine?" Mu Ruilan obviously couldn't laugh. Joseph looked at his old classmate worriedly. As we all know, Fortune Magazine and Time Magazine are both owned by Time Warner Group. The headquarters of both magazines are located on Sixth Avenue in New York.
In "Times-Life Building".
Of course, many famous magazines of the Time Warner Group are also located in this building, such as "Sports Illustrated", "Celebrity", etc. This is almost a "famous magazine building".
Fortune occupies the 15th and 16th floors of the building, while Time occupies the 23rd and 24th floors.
Being poached by his peers was quite acceptable, but being pushed ahead by brothers from a group made Mu Ruilan feel a little embarrassed.
John Rambo is located in eastern Guangdong, China. It goes from eastern Guangdong to Beijing. Of course, it is faster than Baba's flight from New York to Shanghai, which takes fifteen or six hours.
The brothers took action to fight for the same list. Mu Ruilan was unhappy, but his face quickly regained his composure, "This group of people in Times have forgotten their professional ethics since the day they were born in their mothers' wombs. This is finance and economics."
, not politics, not entertainment.”
Peng Bo also smiled knowingly at the old American's humor.
However, at this time, if he was asked to choose, he would still choose the times instead of Forbes and wealth. It can only be said that he cannot resist the influence of the times now.
"The food here is really good." Mu Ruilan didn't want to make the trip in vain, "Miss Heinway, are you Mr. Donald's girlfriend?"
Heyinwei looked at Peng Bo awkwardly, and Peng Bo immediately smiled and said, "We haven't progressed to the point of eating this dish so quickly." He pointed to the steamed crab meat on the table, and everyone laughed heartily.
Humor is indispensable in communicating with foreigners.
"Then I hope you'll hurry up," Mu Ruilan smiled. "Yesterday, I had dinner with Buffett. Oh, I am the main writer of the Buffett series. In fact, Buffett and I are old friends for more than 40 years.
And not long after I met him, I bought shares of Berkshire Hathaway. Over the past 35 years, I have compiled Buffett’s letters to shareholders every year for free..." Mu Ruilan did not give up and continued
Fooling.
Buffett?
Peng Bo laughed. Do foreigners also use banners to make tiger skins?
