Taking his Hanshan Courtyard in San Francisco for example, in 2004, the mixed return of assorted bills similar to membership charges and catering earnings was 118 million US {dollars}, and the gross revenue price was as excessive as 51.3%.
In fact, the technology of such excessive earnings and excessive gross revenue depends closely on the private connections and relationships of the membership proprietor. If Guo Shouyun did not have his present standing, Hanshan Bieyuan could be nothing.
“Squeak!”
When Guo Shouyun pushed open the door of Field No. 9 on the second flooring, the individuals inside additionally seemed on the door subconsciously. As quickly as their eyes met, Guo Shouyun smiled and walked over to the middle-aged man who was about to rise up, wearing a black swimsuit, with sharp eyes and a critical expression.
“Mr. Bloomberg, it is an honor to fulfill you.”
“Mr. Guo may be very well mannered. Additionally it is my honor to fulfill such a younger expertise as Your Excellency.”
Michael Bloomberg surveyed the younger man in entrance of him. Though he was mentally ready for a very long time, considering of the achievements of the opposite occasion, and his face youthful than his personal son, this visible and psychological affect nonetheless made his coronary heart a bit difficult.
If there’s one sentence to explain his present way of thinking, it will be extra acceptable to have a baby like Solar Zhongmou.
After Guo Shouyun smiled, “Please sit down!”
“thanks!”
After Wang Jue and Wu Xiaojing greeted the service workers and served tea.
“Mr. Bloomberg has all the time been a enterprise predecessor I respect very a lot. Bloomberg has been in a position to rise quickly in lower than three many years, and overwhelm Thomson and Reuters (the 2 haven’t but merged) to turn into the The world’s largest enterprise finance firm, Your Excellency’s management and administration expertise are admirable. Essentially the most wonderful factor is that along with enterprise, Mr. Bloomberg has an incredible expertise in politics.”

And led a metropolis authorities that elevated New York’s highschool commencement price by 40 %, decreased crime by a 3rd, and made New York the most secure on the planet One of many cities. Decreased carbon emissions in New York Metropolis by practically 20% and elevated life expectancy by three years.”
“…Mr. Bloomberg has achieved extra in enterprise and politics than I’ve!”
People are animals that want affirmation. Even emperors like to listen to good issues, and so does Michael Bloomberg. What’s extra, it’s Guo Shouyun, who has risen quickly and has an incredible place within the world enterprise world, particularly the monetary world.
“Mr. Guo may be very well mannered. Though I’ve some achievements in politics, I’m far behind Mr. Guo in enterprise. If nothing else, Merrill Lynch’s energy and affect are way more than Bloomberg’s.” Michael Bloomberg laughed.
“It is actually a pleasing factor to be acknowledged by Your Excellency!” After a pause, Guo Shouyun’s eyes flashed, “Does Mr. Bloomberg suppose the merger of Merrill Lynch and Phoenix is a monopoly?”
Taking a look at his gaze, Michael Bloomberg’s coronary heart moved.
“Mr. Guo, I am afraid I can not reply this query. Your Excellency must persuade the American public that the merger of Phoenix and Merrill shouldn’t be a monopoly on the monetary trade.”
“In fact! However if you wish to persuade the American public, you want a possibility or channel to allow them to know the reality in regards to the merger of Phoenix and Merrill.” Guo Shouyun stared at Bloomberg.
The latter’s eyes flashed. Earlier than he got here, he considered the explanation why Guo Shouyun met him. Now that the whole lot is as he guessed, there is no such thing as a have to hold the great reply. Earlier than that, although, he nonetheless has some inquiries to ask.
“Mr. Guo, Merrill Lynch has been promoting its non-public fairness holdings for some time now. I am curious in regards to the motive? You will need to know that the U.S. inventory market has been rising lately, and the U.S. financial system can be very wholesome.”
“We simply want some capital to cut back Merrill’s publicity and put money into rising industries with larger returns. Additionally, non-public fairness I choose to pay attention relatively than solid a large internet, so that you see, Bloomberg and Veri We didn’t promote Sen’s shares.” Guo Shouyun replied.
After Michael Bloomberg nodded clearly, he seemed instantly at him and stated, “What if Bloomberg additionally opposes the merger of Phoenix and Merrill?”

“Mr. Guo has stated it so clearly, how might I not perceive!”
Merrill Lynch holds greater than 20% of Bloomberg’s shares. With such a heavy proportion, if it sells on a big scale, it is going to undoubtedly trigger panic out there. If Merrill Lynch takes the chance to go brief once more, he’s very certain that if he rejects Guo Shouyun’s cooperation, then Merrill Lynch, Phoenix, even Thunder and Hanhua Holdings, which is way within the East, will be a part of within the motion of shorting Bloomberg.
Underneath this collection of blows, Bloomberg’s inventory value fell two or three % is a certain factor, if the scenario is worse, there will probably be extra.

“Mr. Bloomberg understands. As well as, if you’re willingAfter the merger of Phoenix and Merrill Lynch, we’ll launch a financing. I personally hope that you could take part!”
Michael Bloomberg’s eyes lit up. This can be a good alternative to generate income.
“When? How a lot is Mr. Guo going to boost?”
“The precise time has not but been set, however it is going to undoubtedly be on this quarter. The quantity of financing is tentatively set at 20 billion US {dollars}, which can enhance or lower relying on the precise scenario.” Guo Shouyun stated.
“$20 billion shouldn’t be a small quantity.” Bloomberg’s pupils shrank.
“There are too many people who find themselves involved in Phoenix Merrill, and I am afraid that it will not be sufficient.”
“Mr. Guo shouldn’t be afraid of an excessive amount of financing and dropping management of the corporate?”
Guo Shouyun smiled evenly, “So long as I can nonetheless generate income for everybody, I consider that the board of administrators will nonetheless assist me because the chairman of Phoenix Merrill Lynch. As for management, Schiff Household Fund, Goldman Sachs, Citi, and Lehman don’t suppose that Phoenix and Merrill are the identical. Is the merger a monopoly? Then I will cease them with the info.”
“Mr. Guo’s thoughts is admirable. I believe your selection will certainly give Phoenix Merrill a extra good future.”
