Chapter 154 Invitation
After talking to Macaulay on the phone in the morning, An Rusong was extremely motivated throughout the next day, and his whole person seemed to be in a state of excitement.
He still doesn’t know what investment and financing conditions DFJ will offer him, but what is certain is that as long as the compatibility issue between NGN software and Apple systems is solved, NGN will take off for the first time. It's coming soon.
In the memory of his previous life, it seemed that the App Store would be launched in the middle of next year. In the world of his previous life, when it was first launched, there were only about 500 software in the App Store. If NGN can get a front-row display in the software list, coupled with the appeal of the "photo wall" application to customers, it is estimated that NGN software will become a popular application in a short period of time.
Only at that time, An Rusong felt that he could gain a true sense of security.
At present, An Rusong's main work direction is to implement more filter functions, and to further improve the communication functions of NGN software.
After working at the company all day, at around five o'clock in the afternoon, I actually received a call from Moon Chae-won. The other party invited him to have dinner at home, and expressed in a subtle way that he hoped to Talk to him about the collaboration you mentioned earlier.
An Rusong guessed that Master Wen should also call him, because after Daiwa Securities announced its third quarter financial report the day before yesterday, this morning, Mizuho Securities also announced its financial report for the first three quarters of this year. . Exactly like An Rusong's memory in his previous life, Mizuho also suffered huge losses in the past three quarters, with a specific loss of 196.7 billion yen.
This loss amount is also not very high. If converted into U.S. dollars, it is about 1.6 billion U.S. dollars. For a brokerage giant like Mizuho, this kind of loss is drizzle.
However, it is worth noting that judging from Mizuho Securities’ financial reports, its losses in the first three quarters were also mainly concentrated in investments in real estate-related fields. Among them, the largest share of losses was mostly related to It is closely related to the widespread bankruptcies of mortgage lenders and, for that matter, investment funds.
An Rusong didn't know much about finance, but he also saw something unusual. Looking back now, before the subprime mortgage crisis completely broke out, the Federal Reserve pulled the major economies together in a desperate attempt to save the crisis. However, some financial institutions, including Japan's four major securities firms, seemed to be trying their best to smash the market. , this is really interesting.
Of course, these things have nothing to do with An Rusong. What he is really concerned about now is that Master Wen finally took the bait. After she verified two pieces of information in a row, she finally couldn't sit still.
This is a good thing!
So, on the phone, An Rusong accepted the invitation without hesitation and promised to go to the appointment as soon as the company's work was over.
Finally staying up until five o'clock in the afternoon, An Rusong left the company and drove to Seocho-dong to go to Master Wen's home for an appointment.
For most ordinary Koreans, when choosing housing, they still prefer to choose residential areas. This is actually very similar to the Chinese. People living in single-family villas are still rare in metropolitan areas.
In the past few years, Master Wen has indeed made a lot of money by relying on ostentation. Bah, relying on "breaking evil and showing righteousness", but the so-called "a lot of money" here, after all, only exists in In ordinary people's minds, she could afford a good car and a large and exquisitely decorated house, but she really couldn't afford that kind of luxury house, like the one Han Miyan bought. rise.
Master Wen’s residence is a large house with four bedrooms and two living rooms, one large and one small. It covers an area of nearly 250 square meters. This is considered an absolutely high-end housing in Seoul, and people who usually live here , but there was only herself and one servant. Yes, her father did not live with her. After all, the conflict between the two was too deep.
When An Rusong rushed to the underground parking lot of Master Wen's residence, he parked the car, and a middle-aged man with half white hair came up to him and greeted him from a distance. : "Is it Mr. An Rusong?"
Hearing the other party call out his name, An Rusong nodded and said: "Yes, you are"
After all, the other person was older than him, so he used honorifics when speaking.
"I am Wen Qihe, Caiyuan's uncle." It was Wen Qihe who came to greet An Rusong. As his uncle, he had already made a promise to his brother, saying that he would Take good care of Wen Chaiyuan, check her in, and never let her be deceived. But deep down in his heart, he was more eager for this cooperation than his niece.
"Ah, hello, Mr. Wen," when listening to Wen Caiyuan's self-narration before, An Rusong already knew that she had an uncle, so she was not surprised.
"Hello, hello," Wen Qihe hurriedly stepped forward, shook hands with An Rusong enthusiastically, and praised, "I have seen reports about Mr. An in the newspaper before, haha, now Only after meeting him did I realize that what was said in the newspaper was not an exaggeration at all. Mr. An is indeed young and promising.”
“Mr. Wen deserves the award,” An Rusong said humbly, “I am just lucky. It’s just a little better.”
"Hey, luck is also a part of strength," Wen Qihe flattered again, then turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation and said, "Let's go upstairs first. If we have anything to say, we can discuss it in detail when we get home."
An Rusong smiled and nodded, inviting the other party to go first.
Wen Qihe did not refuse. He took half a step ahead and led An Rusong to the elevator. "Caiyun previously proposed that he would find a more formal and upscale place outside, and then invite Mr. An to discuss it in detail," Wen Qihe explained after getting on the elevator, "but considering the privacy, I I would still suggest that she change the meeting place to her home. There is no need to be too shy when talking at home."
Hearing what he said, An Rusong understood. It was obvious that the other party was aware of his intentions. It was a guess. As for whether it was correct or not, it's hard to say.
"Mr. Wen is still thoughtful," he agreed, but did not go further.
The elevator quickly arrived at the floor where Moon Chae-won lives. As expected, this house is also one-echelon-unit-by-echelon. Moreover, the area from the elevator to the entrance is very spacious, at least more spacious than Sun Man-joo's. The house in Songquan Cave should be spacious.
When the elevator door opened, An Rusong saw that the entrance door was open, and Wen Caiyuan, who was wearing a black princess dress with a square collar and puff sleeves, was standing at the door. , waiting for their arrival.
Seeing An Rusong and An Rusong walking out of the elevator, Wen Caiyuan bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Welcome Brother Rusong."
"Thank you Caiyuan for the invitation," An Rusong bowed in return. , said with a smile.
"Okay, don't be polite, let's talk at home," Wen Qihe invited again and said, "It's really cold today."
An Rusong glanced at the other party and thought to himself : If this old man is involved in the political circle, he is definitely the type of person who cannot be involved. He really doesn’t understand the art of speaking.
Look what Moon Chae-won is wearing today? Although the skirt was of a long design and the hem of the skirt covered her knees, the two white and tender legs were still exposed after all.
The hostess invited guests to her door. In order to appear solemn, she dressed up specially and wore a skirt. It would be better for this old guy Wen Qihe to say something about the cold weather directly in front of the guests and Wen Caiyuan. Is this a person who can talk?
But looking at Wen Caiyuan's look, she obviously didn't realize there was anything wrong with her uncle's words. She even walked out of the door and took a pair of slippers from the shoe rack and put them on the ground. Obviously, they were for An Ru. Loosely prepared.
An Rusong was not polite. He changed his shoes in front of the door, and then entered the house at Wen Qihe's invitation.
Inside the door, through the entrance is a spacious living room. The living room is facing the sun, the light is bright, and the air is filled with a faint scent of lavender, which smells very comfortable.
An Rusong was directly seated in front of the sofa in the center of the living room. On the coffee table in front of him, there were various fruits, dried fruits, snacks and the like, which were all for entertaining guests. Used.
“Brother Rusong,” Wen Caiyuan said while passing An Rusong a cigarette while passing him a cigarette, “I have read the news this morning, and your news is really accurate, Mizuho 196.7 billion yen The loss is not bad at all.”
An Rusong fell. Without being polite, he took the cigarette and lit it with the lighter that the other party was holding. After taking a puff, he said: "Don't worry, Caiyuan, the news I gave you, as long as there is no big accident, will definitely be correct." Accurate, you can confirm this slowly.”
"I believe Brother Rusong," Wen Caiyuan nodded and said, "I have also thought about it. I am ready to accept your previous suggestion and use the news you gave me to restore the confidence of the believers."
At this point, She stopped and looked at her uncle next to her with hesitation.
"That's right, Mr. An, I want to ask Caiyuan on behalf of Caiyuan, what do you mean by cooperation before?" Wen Qihe intervened at the right time and asked.
An Rusong looked at him, then turned to look at Wen Caiyuan. After waiting for about half a minute, he said: "Caiyuan really has never thought about taking a step further from the current foundation and becoming a professional." Does the entire Republic of Korea have such a famous shaman?”
“Of course,” Wen Qihe said for his niece, “This is also the dream of every shaman.”
>
"So, what do you think it takes for Caiyuan to get to that point?" An Rusong continued to ask.
“More believers are needed,” Wen Qihe said without hesitation, “And if you want to get more believers, you need to achieve two conditions: higher magic power and more publicity. "
An Rusong didn't say anything. He gave the other party a thumbs up and shook it again.
To be honest, although the old man cannot speak, his mind is shrewd. In two simple sentences, he summarized the conditions for a shaman to become famous.
