Only after seeing the pick-up motorcade did Catherine realize that she didn't know enough about Sun Dahai's strength.
She originally thought that investing 200 million pounds in the Banat Football Club was Sun Dahai's biggest achievement. She did not expect that Xiangjiang and his team would shock her even more.
Since there was no need to rest, they returned directly to the Future Building. Sun Dahai went to work, and Gao Yi took Catherine with him to the liaison office of Youlian in the Future Building.
Youlian's office was originally located on the 25th floor of the Future Building, occupying most of the office area on the floor.
But now they have moved away, so there is only a liaison office left to receive visitors who do not know the new office address of Youlian.
Youlian moved out last month and moved into the Jiayi International Xiangjiang Entertainment Resort in Repulse Bay.
Strictly speaking, Jiayi International Xiangjiang Entertainment Resort consists of three parts, the resort, the Star Gas Station and the headquarters office building of Youlian Brokerage Company.
However, in order to clarify the asset structure of the company, these three parts are all under the name of Jiahua. Youlian leases the office building and the overall building and supporting facilities of the Star Gas Station from Jiahua.
It has just been replaced and will be renamed Jiayi International Alpine Sports Base. It will also adopt this business model. Jiahua is responsible for overall management, and the professional sports base and its facilities are leased to external parties.
However, this place will provide short-term professional-level sports recovery and intensive training services on a "weekly" basis. The rental targets are sports associations in various countries or major professional sports clubs.
In this way, Youlian can continue to operate and develop in an asset-light manner without having to invest too much manpower and energy in unnecessary fixed assets.
Naturally, Catherine was not clear about these management matters, but it did not affect her rejudgment of Sun Dahai's financial resources.
Accompanied by Gao Yi and Youlian's office staff who stayed in the Future Building, she visited this ultra-luxury office building with top-level configurations and the attached high-end commercial and leisure area (podium).
Looking at the dazzling array of world-class luxury goods and various fashionable leisure and entertainment projects in the business district, Catherine couldn't believe that such a luxurious comprehensive commercial mall was actually just a subsidiary industry of Sun Dahai.
You know, even in London, a person who owns even half of the property rights of such a building is enough to be considered a millionaire.
The second stop of her visit was the Jiayi International Xiangjiang Entertainment Resort. Sister Fen, who had already received a call, said that although she was out of town for business and could not come back, she arranged for her deputy, American Therese, to receive Catherine.
Therese is also a senior agent. She has been active in the European and American film circles. She has a good reputation in the industry and has a wide network of contacts. She is an old friend with Gabriel from the Investment and Cooperation Department of Youlian.
When Youlian was preparing to open up business in Europe and the United States last year, Gabrielle personally took action and tricked her into joining Youlian.
After Therese came to Youlian, she became Sister Fen's deputy and served as the deputy director of the Artist Department of Youlian, mainly responsible for European and American business.
If the Alliance of Friends opens a European or American branch in the future, she will be the first choice. Sophie Marceau is currently under her banner. If Catherine joins the Alliance, she will naturally be responsible for it.
Due to business needs, Therese usually spends half of her time away from Xiangjiang. Now it happened to be time for her to come back to do business, so Sister Fen asked her to take Catherine around and talk about the signing.
The star gas station in Jiayi International Xiangjiang Entertainment Resort is the focus of the visit.
The purpose of this project is to provide an internal platform for artists contracted by Youlian to adjust, relax, learn and communicate, and at the same time interact closely with a limited audience (resort tourists).
Catherine had never heard of such a platform, which was very novel to her. After chatting with her, Therese gave her the qualification to try it out. She could live in the artist apartment for a few days and be equipped with it.
We have full-time assistants and enjoy the same treatment as contracted artists.
Catherine happily accepted Therese's arrangement. In fact, they both knew in their hearts that it was basically a foregone conclusion that Catherine would sign the Youlian League, but it was just not made clear yet.
Seeing that she was staying at the artist's apartment, Gao Yi didn't need to arrange a hotel for her. Catherine had a total of six days of vacation this time. After deducting the travel time, she could stay in Xiangjiang for four days.
The little girl has already thought about it. She wants to have fun for a few days and it won't be too late to sign the contract before leaving.
It is best to state in the contract terms that the company arranges for her to come to Xiangjiang for a few days of vacation every year. This celebrity gas station is very good. But in fact, she is unwilling to let go of Sun Dahai's thick legs.
Naturally, Sun Dahai would not consider her little thoughts. He was listening to Wu Dawei's introduction and learned about some of the company's trends during this period.
In Sun Dahai's spacious office, several people were sitting in the reception area, chatting animatedly. At this time, not only Wu Dawei, but also Zhou Haibing and Qiao Wanting were waiting to introduce Sun Dahai's work situation.
Zhou Haibing and Qiao Wanting were both assigned special tasks by Sun Dahai. It happened that these tasks were managed by Wu Dawei, so they joined in and reported on the completion of the work together.
Zhou Haibing was responsible for liquidating eight pieces of land owned by Sun Dahai in the Japanese state. At this time, he had already sold one piece of land and was negotiating with the buyers for the other two pieces of land.
Sun Dahai gave Zhou Haibing plenty of time to find buyers and make deals, as long as he sold all the land in the first half of next year.
Zhou Haibing had the confidence in his mind and started the transaction slowly. He did not sell these pieces of land at once, but sold them piece by piece, which did not have any impact on the local real estate market.
Qiao Wanting's job is similar to Zhou Haibing's, except that she sells the stocks she holds.
The Future Investment Company seized the opportunity after the global stock market crash in 1987. At this local low, it purchased the stocks of many companies from the open market, with a total investment of up to 1.5 billion US dollars.
About 30% of them were stocks of large Japanese companies and financial institutions purchased from the Tokyo and Singapore markets.
After more than one year and nearly two years of rebound, the investment in Erecting the Future has achieved rich returns. On average, 40% of the investment income is definitely there.
Among the stocks that were set up for future bargain hunting, Japan's stocks had the highest average increase, and the average price-to-earnings ratio far exceeded the average level of the industry. Various technical indicators had diverged, and the bubble phenomenon was very obvious.
Before Sun Dahai left Xiangjiang and went to the United States in early July, he had already told Qiao Wanting to prepare to liquidate all Japanese stocks.
A month later, Sun Dahai officially ordered to leave.
At this time, Qiao Wanting came to report to Sun Dahai on the progress of clearing Japanese stocks.
