Chapter 523 John Fallin

Su Chen listened to her report quietly, and Bernice said: "It's about the construction of our branch. I think it's better to buy a building instead of renting it. In this way, we can be in the whole building. For offices, if it is a redundant floor, we can rent it out and collect rent.”

"Then which building do you think is suitable for us to buy?" Su Chen asked.

"I think the 37-story AT&T building is very suitable. This building can no longer afford this skyscraper because the size and profitability of AT&T after the split are not as good as before."

Bernice said: "According to my valuation, it can be purchased at a maximum of 1.5 million US dollars. I will try my best to lower the price. At the same time, we don't need to spend too much money. We can borrow part of the money from the bank."

The building is located between 55th Street and 56th Street, in the heart of Midtown Manhattan.

"Okay, AT&T is probably not having a good time now. If it's within this price, you can buy it and move our headquarters there."

Su Chen said: "Shengshi will develop the record industry next and acquire a suitable record company, but we don't have much funds now, so we should pay attention to whether there is a suitable record company."

"Understood." Cao Jiaxin and Bernice nodded in unison.

"If there is nothing else, today's meeting is over." Su Chen said: "Just do what I have told you so far, mainly the shares of Apple and Microsoft, the shares of Qualcomm, and then the purchase of the new office building .”

"The personnel structure of the new headquarters will be arranged by you, Bernice, with the establishment of the President's Office, the Legal Department, the Administration Department, the Operations Department, the Finance Department, the Human Resources Department, the Project Management Department, the Marketing Department, the Logistics Department, the Public Relations Department, and the Risk Control Department. , Investment Department and other departments, you have worked in Wells Fargo Bank before and have experience."

Bernice thought for a while: "Boss, how much power do I have?"

"You are responsible for Shengshi's business in the United States, and all the power and money will be handed over to you." Su Chen said with a smile: "Since I am the CEO, I will delegate the rights that should be given to you, and I hope you can control them well. You can take charge."

"Understood, I will arrange it." Bernice nodded, this woman is very capable.

Su Chen has seen this for a long time, and has been helping him since he bought Fox. Although it was dug from the old man Eaton, it is easy to use.

Su Chen said again: "That's all for today's affairs. You can make arrangements for the briefing and others. As for the meetings between you and other high-level officials, I won't participate any more. You can hold them yourself."

"Good boss."

Originally, Cao Jiaxin asked if she wanted someone to accompany Su Chen.

In fact, there is no need to accompany them. If you come to your company to inspect the work, you have to mow down a bunch of people, which is completely unnecessary. When employees see so many people, they will immediately increase their enthusiasm for work.

Because it takes an appropriate microservice private visit to truly understand what the company's situation is like.

And now that the company has been inspected, there is no need to go around again. After coming out of the office, Bernice and Cao Jiaxin will go to work separately.

Accompanied by Huang Ying and two other bodyguards, Su Chen went to the exchange.

Although he has guided the company to buy technology stocks, no one can say clearly about things like the stock market, and Buffett, who is as powerful as Buffett, sometimes misses.

At the door, the beggar from the beginning was no longer visible, either he made a fortune and left, or he moved the site.

Because this is a dreamer's paradise, I don't know how many nouveau riche stepped into the throne of financial giants overnight; it is also a hell for entrepreneurs, and I don't know how many well-known entrepreneurs went bankrupt and died overnight here.

Here is the intersection of heaven and hell, here is the gathering place of devils and angels.

Entering the exchange, you can see the noisy and tense scene in the trading hall.

If Wall Street is the heart of the world's financial industry, then the stock exchange is its pulse. As long as it beats slightly, the international economic and financial circles will immediately shake with it.

Su Chen focused on a few stocks, namely Coca-Cola, Apple, and several other stocks.

They are all technology stocks, and the signs of decline are not obvious, so you can continue to invest.

As for other futures, you can still do it in the short term, and at the same time hold a few stocks for a long time. You can sell them before the stock market crash in 87, and buy them in after the stock market crash.

Buy low and sell high.

After looking around, Su Chen did not invest. Now that he has a company, he naturally needs to use the company to invest. Personal investment is not meaningful, and it is not necessary now.

When I came out of the exchange, I originally wanted to visit Eaton, but now Eaton should be at work. After thinking about it, Su Chen thought it was better to call Eaton, after all, Eaton was still his father-in-law.

I found a public phone and called Eaton's office, and was quickly connected.

"Hello, who is it?" Eaton's voice came from the phone.

Su Chen said, "My father-in-law, I'm Su Chen, and I'm on Wall Street right now."

"Fake, your father-in-law." Eaton first sweared on the phone, and then said: "Su, since you're on Wall Street, come and see me, and I'll introduce you to someone."

I am really interested in this Su Chen. Although I don't know who it is, Su Chen knows that Eaton will definitely not introduce ordinary people to him.

After hanging up, he headed to Wells Fargo.

When he arrived at Wells Fargo Bank, Eaton was already waiting for him, and looked him up and down: "You have started to bring bodyguards now? This is well done, and you must ensure your own safety."

"These two guys were invited by G4S security company." Su Chen said, "The rest of the girl is my temporary assistant."

"Hehe." Eaton sneered twice.

But didn't say anything.

When he reached the door of the office, Eaton said, "Let your bodyguard wait outside first. As for your assistant, you can go in."

Su Chen nodded, Jason and Frank were waiting at the door.

When I entered the office, there was already a man over fifty years old sitting inside.

"Su, let me introduce you. This is the chairman and CEO of the New York Stock Exchange, Mr. John Fallin." Eaton introduced: "You came today just in time, and it happened that this old man ran to me during work hours Come here for tea, otherwise you may not have a chance to see him."

Su Chen was taken aback, as expected, the ones he introduced were not ordinary people.

Fan Erlin stood up, "Eaton, judging by your expression, you should know that this young man has a lot of background. I think his skin should be Asian. If you think of his close relationship with you, he should have acquired Fox and other industries. Chinese boy, am I right?"

Su Chen went up and held out his hand: "Mr. Fan Erlin, hello, I am Su, you are right. Nice to meet you."

"Young man, I'm the one who should say I'm happy. In fact, I've always been curious about what you look like, and I finally saw your real person today." Fan Erlin smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

This person is not talkative by nature, low-key, and always has a classical sense of honor, and always advocates that securities practitioners should set higher moral requirements for themselves.

He believes that the significance of the existence of the securities market is not to allow practitioners to speculate in it to make money, but to help many companies that are looking forward to development raise funds so that "more people can live a better life."

It really doesn't sound like someone who works hard on Wall Street, but it is actually true.

Because he was tortured in the crowded and noisy exchange, and he had seen the exchange's people and intrigues, and he was disgusted with this place.

So he told his father that he would never be in finance, preferring to be honest and noble.

This is something Su Chen can't do.

"Is there anything for you to return to the United States this time?" Eaton said, "If you have time, I would be very happy to share something with you."
