Chapter 608 Undercurrent
The Wishing Star Foundation is considered to be far away, and Fang Qiuyu is living a very good life. The Wishing Star Foundation is basically divided into two major projects: investment and charity.

Fang Qiuyu is in charge of the investment department, and Pan Jianghong is in charge of the charity department. The entire Wishing Star Foundation is also one of the largest charitable foundations in China. The Wishing Star Foundation is involved in medical care, sports, road development, and scenic spot cooperation.

These charitable and public welfare activities are not purely losing money. After the development of roads and scenic spots is completed, the Wishing Star Foundation will also receive part of the dividends.

The Wishing Star Foundation is too far away from America. Basically, Fang Qiuyu and Pan Jianghong are managing it. Fang Qiuyu also needs to make achievements to prove himself. There are not a few people who covet his position!
In a large hotel in New York, the lights are dim today, and the hotel is full of noise. Many celebrities in New York gather here, and a large group of fashionable and beautiful models, celebrities, etc. shuttle in the hotel.

"Congratulations ICQ!"

This is a banquet held for the launch of ICQ’s listing. In the next one or two months, the entire ICQ will be busy with publicity, fundraising, roadshows, etc., until ICQ is listed on NASDAQ. Today is going to be a grand banquet.

"Congratulations to RICK too!"

Song Yang raised his wine glass and said to Eric and others who rushed over.

Eric's face was full of joy. Not long after he arrived in New York, Song Yang got the support of Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Morgan, Merrill Lynch and other investment banks for RICK. With the support of Wall Street, Eric Confidence in snatching Gucci from the LVMH Group has greatly increased.

"Wall Street will provide funds for RICK, and Deutsche Bank will use its relationship in Europe to clear the way for RICK. RICK must act quickly and cannot delay. After all, Europe is the home of LVMH Group!"

In the hotel lobby, Irene was surrounded by many New York celebrities, Wall Street executives, and even many New York wealthy sons, who also gathered beside Irene, talking to Irene about all kinds of hypocrisy and flattery. , even if they don't believe it.

After ICQ went public, Irene was the ceiling among professional female managers and one of the most powerful professional female managers in America.

Those celebrities in New York and Wall Street executives naturally wanted to get involved with Irene, to see if there was a chance to make a fortune from ICQ.

As for those playboys in New York, what they want to do around Irene, it goes without saying, they don't mention how they feel about Irene, but their family needs Irene.

Marrying Irene, a rich woman in the technology industry, the family strength will directly increase a lot, and you can also get the support of America, the most powerful force, the Jewish people!

The reason why Irene is so powerful is inseparable from the help of the Jewish people. These wealthy families in New York can see very clearly that if they can marry Irene, it will be equivalent to gaining both money and wealth. It is not surprising. New York playboys, Wall Street executives and the like have tried their best in front of Irene.

"Ms. Irene, I don't know if you are free tomorrow. I would like to invite you to a family banquet. I have airlifted the best foie gras and steak from Argentina..."

A man wearing an expensive suit, shaking the wine in his hand, a young and talented man, invited Irene with the most elegant posture he thought.

His tricks have been tried and tested in the past. He looks good, coupled with a good background, coupled with luxury cars, famous wines and some luxury goods, even those famous ladies and rich women can't refuse his invitation.

Irene, who was wearing black-rimmed glasses, glanced at the man in front of her through the lenses, and said with a blank expression, "Say hello to Mr. Swig for me. I'm going to Washington tomorrow to meet Congressman Reed. It's very soon." Sorry for not being able to attend Mr. Swiger's banquet!"

Hearing Irene's merciless refusal, and bringing out Reed, the boss of the Federal Communications Commission, the man in front of him could only sneer, make a gentleman's salute, and then leave.

Irene really wants to take people to Washington. If ICQ wants to go public, it has to work with the public relations company to deal with the congressmen in Washington. Time is the most uncomfortable.

It's just that the time is not so fast, and Irene used it as an excuse. The Swiger family is a member of a group of real estate groups in New York. From Manhattan to New Jersey, they have a large number of properties, including some buildings around Times Square. Many landmark buildings in New York belong to the Swiger family.

Little Swig is regarded as a young talent and wealthy son, and he may inherit the billions of dollars of old Swig in the future, but it also depends on who he compares with. Irene's eyes turned towards Song Yang. glanced.

Compared with other people, Little Swig, a playboy, is indeed pretty good. He helped his old man manage the real estate business, and his performance is not bad.

But if compared with Song Yang who is standing with Eric and others at the moment, Irene really didn't find anything comparable...

Little Swig, who had been swept off his face, was depressed. He drank a large glass of wine, glanced at Irene, and snorted. If it wasn't for the old Swig's intention, he wouldn't respond to this Irene in costume sends out some kind of invitation.

With a bit of depression, little Swig wanted to complain to a few friends around him. When he looked up, he saw Irene's eyes. When he cast his gaze towards Song Yang, little Swig looked at Song Yang and Irene After looking at him for a few times, he didn't know what he thought of, so he quickly looked away.

Thinking of the rumors in the tabloid newspapers, little Swig's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly thought, if those rumors were reported first, the relationship between Song Yang and Irene reported was not based on speculation?
Little Swig didn't dare to think about it any longer. Facing the ridicule from several people around him, little Swig just shook his head and said, "I probably drank too much today!"

The Swigg family is considered a local snake in New York, but it depends on who they compare with. Little Swig feels that if they meet Song Yang, let alone him, even the old Swig is probably enough.

"Let Kravis and KKR Group be RICK's advisors for this acquisition of Gucci!"

Song Yang said to Eric that before America Telecom acquired CompuServe Telecom Company, and then sold it to AOL, which cost AOL 12 billion US dollars, it was Kravis who played the game.

As a master of leverage, Kravis is not much worse than Martin Solo of WPP Group in terms of acquisitions, and he spends more time playing.

"I'll ask Kravis to join me!"

Eric said eagerly, it was the first time he had to wrestle with a giant company like the LVMH Group, which made Eric a little nervous and excited.

The acquisition of Victoria's Secret allowed RICK to complete its transformation from a nightclub. The current valuation of RICK is close to several billion dollars, far exceeding the original four to five billion dollars.

If the acquisition of Gucci can be completed, the valuation of RICK will skyrocket again, and RICK will also be able to take advantage of the situation to officially enter the luxury industry. For RICK and Eric, this is another huge change!
ICQ started the road show, and RICK wanted to acquire Gucci, which made the Internet, luxury goods, and Wall Street all undercurrents. It is estimated that LVMH Group and Bernard Arnault would not have thought that they had thought about various opponents, but they would not Thinking of it, the one who was really going to make trouble for them was a company selling underwear...

After the banquet was over, in the presidential suite of the hotel, as soon as the door was closed, Irene wrapped her arms around Song Yang's neck. Song Yang picked up Irene, and the two rolled on the bed.

In the corridor of the room, Wulf, Song Yang's head of security bodyguard, sat there staring at the direction of the corridor and the elevator. Wulf is the last line of defense close to Song Yang. Yang is really in big trouble.

Now Song Yang's social status is getting higher and higher, and there are more and more people who want to get something from Song Yang. These people dare to do anything for the sake of beauty. At worst, something like Bill Gates being smashed into a cake may happen. Ulf wants to ensure that these things will not happen to Song Yang.

Staying with Ulf is a middle-aged Jewish woman. She is Irene's personal assistant. Those stars, singers, and celebrities in America all like people of their own ethnicity to be their personal assistants. With some peace of mind, the chance of betraying the employer is always lower than using people of other ethnicities.

The middle-aged female assistant glanced at the room, frowning tightly. She was a bit worried. Irene is now the representative of professional women in America, and it is a critical moment for ICQ to go public. She doesn't want Irene to pass on If there is any scandal, it is different from those female stars.

Those female celebrities, rumors of scandals and rumors with financial masters will not have much impact on their star career, but if anything is heard by Irene, the careers of professional managers will be affected.

In the suite, after a long meal, Song Yang rubbed Irene's golden hair. He could feel that there was something unusual about the little wild cat today.

"Don't worry, ICQ listing will not be affected!"

Song Yang said to Irene in his arms, Wall Street absolutely supports ICQ. In Washington, Irene spent at most a public relations fee in the past. Donkey Party supports the Internet industry. For this reason, I will not deliberately disgust ICQ.

As for the Elephant Party, they are preparing for the general election two years later. If they don’t want to lose the support of Song Yang, the big benefactor, the Elephant Party will not do anything crazy, unless the Little Cowboy Family, Tom · Delay and so on, can't hold back the scene!
The sky was gray and bright, and Irene, who had regained the look of a strong woman, took her female assistant and walked out of the hotel. She still has to participate in various activities today.

Song Yang rested in the hotel for a while before getting up. Last night, the little wild cat was much wilder than before, and it took most of the night to stop.

After a meal, Song Yang also led his people and rushed towards Murray Hill.
