Reborn since 1993

Chapter 600 Prophecy
“Zhang Allen, you disappoint me!”

Sandons, who was chewing beef, spoke after eating a piece of steak, but he never looked up at Zhang Ailun, as if Zhang Ailun was not as important as the steak on his plate.

"I don't know whose recommendation letter you got to Goldman Sachs, and I don't care. I don't know who endorsed you at the Goldman Sachs headquarters and sent you to the mainland to be in charge of Hanxi's business!"

"But you screwed up!"

Sandons threw the knife and fork onto the plate, and the clanging sound was like a hammer hitting Zhang Ailun's heart.

Listening to what Thorntons said, Zhang Allen hurriedly said, "Mr. Thorntons, I have helped Goldman Sachs invest in the chip factory of Dongxin Hanxi Chip Factory. This project will be profitable in the future..."

Even in America, not everyone can get a job in a big investment bank on Wall Street, because once you get the job, it means you have received an annual salary of at least hundreds of thousands of dollars, and you may even have the opportunity to achieve financial freedom and earn money that others cannot earn in several lifetimes.

Therefore, the competition is also very fierce. A certificate from an Ivy League university is only the most basic threshold to enter Wall Street.

In addition, abilities, connections, and background are all indispensable. Of course, sometimes, if you want to join a Wall Street investment bank, you need to pay some special price. The corruption of Wall Street is well known in America. What happens in the entertainment industry is nothing compared to what happens on Wall Street.

Even the scenes in "The Wolf of Wall Street" played by Leonardo DiCaprio would be just basic operations if they were set on Wall Street.

Just know that in the coffee shops opposite the major investment banks on Wall Street, whenever an investment bank gets a big order, high-end call girls, models, etc. will appear in the coffee shops opposite.

Because after getting a big order, there will definitely be a party, and those call girls can make a lot of money. Those who are good-looking can make more than two thousand dollars an hour, and it is possible to make tens of thousands of dollars a night. This is mainly done by Wall Street investment banks. The money comes too quickly, so naturally they are willing to waste it.

Zhang Ailun was sent to the mainland with the help of some connections and personal connections. The competition at Goldman Sachs headquarters was too fierce. It was too difficult to stand out simply by ability, not to mention that Zhang Ailun's ability was not the best.

So he wanted to find another way out, which was to be sent to the mainland, gain merit, and then return to Goldman Sachs headquarters, where he could get a promotion and a raise based on his merits.

Zhang Ailun's backer at Goldman Sachs is his uncle who is a manager at Goldman Sachs. Wall Street is one of the industries with the most Chinese Americans working there, because Chinese Americans are good at math, and the models, transactions, data analysis, quantitative trading, etc. of Wall Street institutions all require computing power. It is easier for people who are good at math to take on these positions.

On the contrary, professions that were previously considered financial management now play roles such as front desk, financial advisor, and salesperson in Wall Street institutions.

Of course, if you have connections, that's another story. People with connections, even if they are majoring in sports, such as being a member of Congress, or an important staff member of the President, etc., can also work as an investment banker.

Executives, who can blame them for having good reincarnation skills...

"Dongxin Hanxi Chip Factory?"

Hearing Zhang Allen say this, Thorntons sneered, "Do you think Goldman Sachs wants a chip factory?"

Zhang Ailun stood there in a daze. He heard the hidden meaning in Sandons' words. Goldman Sachs had other intentions towards Dongling Hi-Tech.

Looking at Zhang Ailun, Thorntons shook his head. He knew that Zhang Ailun had no idea what Goldman Sachs was planning to do in Asia, so it would be futile no matter how much he said.

Thorntons joined Goldman Sachs sixteen years ago. He was the one who led the charge in Goldman Sachs' first battle into old Europe and helped Goldman Sachs establish its international investment department. The number of department members soared from fifty to more than six thousand.

Thorntons has made great contributions to Goldman Sachs. The status of Zhang Ailun's uncle in Goldman Sachs is completely different from that of Thorntons, who is in the power circle of Goldman Sachs. This is also the reason why Zhang Ailun is afraid of Thorntons.

But this big shot who is like the pillar of Goldman Sachs was suddenly transferred to Asia this year to be fully responsible for Goldman Sachs' Asian affairs.

Before coming to Asia, Sandons had been stationed in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore and other places. This time he suddenly came to Hanxi.

Seeing that Thorntons looked unhappy and wiped his lips to leave, Zhang Ailun knew that once Thorntons left, his career at Goldman Sachs would basically have no future, and he could no longer expect a million-dollar annual salary or financial freedom.

Zhang Allen gritted his teeth and said, “Mr. Thorntons, I just reached some new agreements with Li Dongling. Although Dongxin Semiconductor is unwilling to borrow from America.

But Li Dongling claimed that Dongling Hi-Tech’s business in Gangcheng and the acquisition of Gangcheng Telecom project hope to cooperate with Goldman Sachs? "

"Acquire Hong Kong City Telecom?"

Thorntons lowered his head and thought for a moment. He had also heard about the competition between Cyberport, PCCW and SingTel for Hong Kong City Telecom.

Looking at Zhang Ailun, Thorntons knew that he was trying to save himself, but for a moment, Thorntons also knew that he could not transfer him away for the time being, otherwise it would be difficult for Goldman Sachs to contact Dongling Hi-Tech for this project.

"What a pity, we can only let Dongling Hi-Tech off this time!" Sandons sighed and whispered that he came to Hanxi this time just to bring Dongling Hi-Tech into the ditch!
The reason why Goldman Sachs sent him to Hanxi is to cooperate with Soros in doing things next year, so they sent a big shot to take charge, so that when Soros is done, Goldman Sachs can get the fattest piece of meat.

Sandons is ready to capture all the giant companies such as Samsung, Hyundai and Daewoo in Korea, Siam, Singapore and Japan.

As Dongling Hi-Tech, which has become famous in Asia in recent years, has naturally been targeted by Sandons.

This time when he came to Hanxi, Thorntons wanted Zhang Ailun to set a hook for Dongling Hi-Tech. As long as Dongling Hi-Tech borrowed US dollars from America, Thorntons would be sure to catch the big fish of Dongling Hi-Tech. However, he did not expect that Li Dongling would not respond at all.

"You continue to keep an eye on Dongling Hi-Tech!"

Knowing that he couldn't acquire Dongling Hi-Tech this time, Sandons had to leave first. He still had to make a lot of preparations for next year in Southeast Asia and it was impossible for him to stay in Hanxi forever.

Only after Sandons' car left did Zhang Ailun dare to raise his head and wipe the sweat from his forehead. He felt his back was wet.

Thorntons could really end Zhang Ailun's career at Goldman Sachs with just one sentence. How could he not be afraid?

Now, Zhang Ailun has no choice but to go down one path. Only if Cyberport acquires Harbour City Telecom will Zhang Ailun have the opportunity to continue staying in the mainland as the head of Goldman Sachs, and then get the credit and return to the Goldman Sachs headquarters for a promotion and salary increase.

Apart from this, he has no other choice!

……

Like Zhang Ailun, there is another person who is also having a hard time and being scolded. He is Jim Garrett, head of Intel's mainland company. He is being "baptized" by Gregory, Intel's Asia director.

"Garrett, I don't know what you are doing. A little-known company is threatening Intel in the mainland. This is a shame for Intel!"

Gregory shouted angrily at Jim Garrett with saliva flying.

"Dongxin will not be a threat to Intel. I guarantee that no chip manufacturer in mainland China can threaten Intel's position!" Jim Garrett defended himself.

But this only angered Gregory, "Garrett, do you think I'm only talking about Dongxin?"

"idiot!"

"If we fail to suppress DOCOM this time, a large number of chip manufacturers will emerge from South Korea, Singapore, and Japan to compete with Intel. This is absolutely not allowed!"

The reason why Gregory made such a big fuss this time was that he was afraid of causing a chain reaction, so he wanted to cut the Gordian knot and suppress Doxin Semiconductor to prevent any company from daring to imitate Doxin and challenge Intel.

"Do you know that Dongxin Semiconductor is placing a large number of orders with chip foundries? If computers equipped with Tianji chips sell well, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Gregory asked, glaring at Jim Garrett.

The latter certainly understood what Gregory meant. If Tianji was a great success in sales, the mainland chip market would no longer be Intel's backyard.

The days when Intel could dump chips in China at prices several times higher than the supply price in America using old chips and inventory may never come back...

In order to deal with Donxin, Intel has to come up with the most advanced chips and compete with Donxin for the market. The chips that could originally make two or three times the profit now have to be sold at the same price. Isn't this a loss for Intel, which is used to making money easily in the inland areas?

"Mr. Gregory, I can assure you and the headquarters that computers equipped with Tianji chips will never sell well in the mainland's commercial computer industry!
If I fail, I am willing to resign and take responsibility!" Jim Garrett said angrily.

Hearing Jim Garrett's resignation as a guarantee, Gregory's tone softened a bit, "You are the person I brought over from America. I don't want to sign your resignation letter in person!"

……

Li Dongling was not sure about what actions Goldman Sachs and Intel had taken, but no matter whether it was Goldman Sachs or Intel, what Dongling Hi-Tech had to do was to deal with the situation as it came.

Anyway, Dongling Hi-Tech has no right to admit defeat. Even if it admits defeat, will the other party let Dongling Hi-Tech go?
Just think about it and you will know it is impossible. Look at what happened to the Chrysanthemum Factory in the previous life. They wanted to admit defeat, but the other party didn’t even give them a chance.

Since you are not qualified to admit defeat, you can only fight on. After the bayonet fight, only the last one standing will be qualified to pick up the spoils!
After checking the research and development progress of Shenzhou Computer from the technical department, Li Dongling rushed to another place in Pingyang, adjacent to Pingyang Hanxi Software Industrial Park.
