Chapter 1055 (1/2)
David Rubinstein returned to North America on the afternoon of November 3, two days before the 1996 US general election.
Instead of returning directly to New York, they first contacted domay point manor to ask if they could stop by and get a response. They also reminded that today was the birthday of Seattle, the daughter of Westeros. So they urgently contacted their friends here to help them choose a suitable gift.
When I came to domay point manor, I found that the costumes here were like Christmas. All kinds of colorful balloons and inflatable dolls were very warm.
It's just that it's not so warm when I see a little girl on her birthday, and I'm a little scared.
Is Stephen Hawking's a brief history of time reduced to the level that a three-year-old girl can understand? What the little girl was holding was obviously either a simple picture version for children or the original version. So after expressing birthday congratulations and getting a very formulaic response, I couldn't help discussing with the little girl.
He was soon asked to be speechless.
As a liberal arts student with a legal background, after the book became popular, Rubinstein also read it as a leisure book, but he could not understand much.
Seeing that the little girl had seen through his details and turned to the book again, David Rubinstein suddenly felt that maybe he was old. And the Simon Westeros, probably aliens.
The glass curtain wall of shell villa.
Looking at the little girl who was taken away by Janet westero's hand, Rubinstein glanced at James Leibold, who was not surprised. He turned to westero and said with a smile, ”Simon, sear's cleverness is really amazing, but don't you think it's wrong to let the children start too early?”
Simon shook his head and said: ”I always feel that ignorance is a waste of life. If children have average intelligence, I will not force them. But since sear is different from ordinary people, it's nothing to start exploring the world early. I've also learned that genius often falls into a bottleneck due to various restrictions in his life, and even goes to the extreme of pain, but these obstacles do not exist for SYL. ”
David Rubinstein could not help but think of Newton, who began to turn to alchemy and Theology in previous years. It was the technology and resource constraints of that time that made the scientific giant unable to move forward. And none of this will be a problem for Seattle westrow.
Even if the little girl plans to visit Mars in the future, the Westeros have the strength to support each other in doing so.
After another casual chat, we began to get down to business. Rubinstein talked to Simon in detail about the revised plan on the plane according to the results of the meeting with Chen Qing.
Simon listened carefully and nodded: ”it's a good plan. First, we should increase competition to promote the development of the industry. In the future, we can integrate our layout through mergers and acquisitions, and then we can go public. According to the specific industry situation in the future, we can decide whether to cash out or hold for a long time.”
Simon said, not forgetting to look at James sitting on the sofa.
James Leibold said: ”there's one more important issue, technology. David, have you thought about it? The construction machinery industry in China is very backward. If there is only capital but no technology, it will be difficult to develop in the short term. ”
”Of course, our team here has begun to operate,” said David Rubinstein. ”It's not easy to reach cooperation with giants like Caterpillar, and we may lose the initiative. However, many second - and third tier construction machinery enterprises in Europe and the United States are still very advanced in technology compared with Chinese Enterprises, and many of them are still very successful in operation The situation is not good. We can acquire technology through direct acquisition or introduction of cooperation and deliver it to China. ”
”There are bound to be barriers to technology transfer at the level of Washington and other national authorities,” James blurted out, then responded with a smile. ”I don't think that's a problem for you either.”
Everybody knew that, Rubinstein also laughed, nodded and said: ”of course, no problem.”
Simon added: ”speaking of this, David, you should pay attention to the election process at home?”
”Yes, I heard that Dole has given up and is conducting the last 96 hours of national roadshows to canvass Republican candidates all over the country.”
The past ”October surprise” has not reversed. Bill Clinton is still ahead of Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole.
Since losing the election is a foregone conclusion, Bob Dole has not done any more futile work. Instead, he started a 96 Hour National roadshow on November 1 the day before yesterday to canvass Republican candidates for the Senate and the house of Representatives. He hopes that his supporters can vote for Republican candidates in various places, so as to ensure that the Republican Party will continue to vote for Republican candidates after this year's election Control of both houses of Congress.
It's also the 73 year old veteran Republican politician's last effort for his party.
Bob Dole will retire at the end of the election.
David Rubinstein not only worked in the Carter administration, but also has been a political activist. Simon saw that he was really familiar with the general election situation, and then said: ”well, David, there is no doubt about Dole's defeat. I hope you can invite him to join Carlyle's board of directors after the election.””Simon, I'm a Democrat.”
David Rubinstein said this subconsciously. However, seeing the young man beside him looking at himself without any doubt, he nodded and said, ”I have no problem here, but I have to discuss with George and them.”
”I've already called George, including Dole's side, and made some contacts in private,” Simon said, satisfied with Rubinstein's nod. ”In fact, cersei capital doesn't lack a place, but you know, it's too conspicuous to let you out. Of course, Dole's joining Carlyle is certainly only good for you, just like the technology transfer that will be promoted soon. Now both houses of Congress are under the control of the Republican Party. In the future, Dole may just need to say hello. ”
In fact, David Rubinstein's politeness is just an excuse. Since he has already abandoned politics and started business, businessmen should pursue profits, not to mention the obvious benefits of accepting dole.
What I just said is that Rubinstein instinctively doesn't want to lose more control over Carlyle.
Calm down, David Rubinstein will soon return to reality.
The fund managers on Wall Street, even George Soros, in the final analysis, are just managing money for others. Their positioning is still professional managers, and the capital behind the scenes is their boss.
There is no shortage of fund managers who are so proud that they can take the initiative, such as George Soros, who is becoming more and more famous, and John Merriwether, who is a long-term capital management company. However, these are only a few. Most fund managers are still very clear about their position.
Carlyle is like that.
What's more, Simon westero's demands are not excessive. On the contrary, they are good for Carlyle. If so, he has to oppose for the so-called initiative, which is very unwise.
After talking for more than ten minutes, David Rubinstein got up and left.
Although it is a little girl's birthday today, there is no intention of holding a large-scale party at domay point manor. It is very inappropriate for him to stay.
Simon didn't stay and sent Rubinstein away. It was evening. The family of George Norman, Jennifer's uncle, arrived soon and began to make a fuss and prepare for the dinner.
Generally speaking, there are not many people. In addition to her family, Veronica, who came from Australia to live for a while, and the rebolds and Normans on Jennifer's side, are basically family dinners. And it's a birthday for two kids, Seattle and Nicholas.
Janet's little Nick is three days later than her sister Seattle, and her three parents don't mean to toss and toss again and again, and finish it all at once.
The next day was Monday, November 4, the day before the general election.
The second weekend of the Halloween schedule also ended.
Before that, in the first week of the Halloween season, the latest series Annabel of the evocation film universe was irresistible in front of a new and old film. With an opening screen size of 2739 pieces and an excellent score of 7.8, it won $47.36 million at the box office in the first seven days of the first week. This achievement is second only to ”the morgue haunted event 2” in the evocation film universe in the first half of the Easter season The first week's opening performance of $51.69 million ranked the second place in the five soul stirring movies released.
