Chapter 13: The Clinton Group

"Midtown Manhattan is a must-have for business giants who value every inch of land."

"The commercial buildings here are priced at US$1800 to US$1900 per square meter and are located in one of the top ten prime locations in the world."

"Americans all know what it means to own a commercial building here. The commercial advantages given by the excellent geographical location can make those small fish and shrimps stay away from the competition we participate in."

"But you may not know the history of the building and the story behind it."

“In the 40s, a young refugee businessman named John Sleep Hathaway, under the guidance of his father, used the wealth gained from selling his European properties to purchase a building next to the famous Columbia University. "

"I like it here because when you open the window, you can see the 14 skyscrapers built by John Rockefeller Jr."

"It's the Rockefeller Center of the civilized world today, which means we're at the center of the American economy."

"With the soaring land prices, John, who gradually accumulated wealth, began to slack off. Fortunately, he lived a low-key life. He always focused on accumulation and leaving wealth for future generations. He indulged in oil painting creation every day, which was not superior in talent, and hoarded the huge rent he received. stand up."

"This low-key accumulation concept that goes against the mainstream of the West once made him misunderstood by people around him, and even caused him to lose his marriage. The long loneliness fostered the darkness in his heart, even if the woman who once left him, Returned her and John’s daughter.”

"But Old John did not change his mean and unsociable character. Beatings, abuses, and vicious words were always coming out one after another. This pieced together the little girl's age, and also made her look like her father, with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. Too arrogant."

"But people's personalities sometimes have such contrasting contrasts. It was Old John's indifference and extreme irresponsibility to his daughter that made the little girl gradually learn to be independent."

"As an adult, the little girl relied on her sharp and unique eloquence and business talent to earn her first pot of gold from the sale of real estate, and gradually gained huge wealth from real estate, food processing, ocean trade and military industry investment."

"She acquired the high-potential lots in Hell's Kitchen and the building that belonged to her father and built her empire."

In a neat and simple conference room, a balding old man with luxurious clothes and a slightly stooped figure stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, looking at the scenery outside the building against the warm high-altitude wind at noon.

The Mozart: Turkish March echoing in the conference room seemed to be sometimes brisk and sometimes passionate according to the old man's narration.

Anne Hathaway pinched her fingers and stood behind him awkwardly.

"Your mother proved herself to her father."

The old man's right hand was twirling the single ring on his ring finger with his thumb, which attracted Anne Hathaway's attention.

According to this way of wearing the ring, it is obvious that the unmarried old man is in love.

The old man slowly turned around and leaned against the window sill with his fat belly pouted. Although he looked dignified, his obscene eyes glanced up and down Anne. After noticing Anne looking at the ring finger of his right hand with an unkind expression, he naturally Putting his hands in his pockets, he continued: "So, in order for the company to continue to have a long-term foothold in New York, you must prove yourself to the company, starting from the bottom."

Anne's pretty face showed an expression that I didn't expect. She took a slight breath of hot air, walked to the top of the office conference table, and agreed: "As the holder of 51% of the company's equity, I really need to prove myself to the company. .”

The slender fingers painted with black nail polish slid on the black desk, and finally opened the seat with the nameplate of Executive Director and CEO: Joey Bode, and sat on the desk.

This delicate-looking girl was obviously a little nervous. With her chest heaving, she looked at the photo hanging on the wall. In the photo, the founder of the company, Mrs. Liv Hathaway, had her jaw raised slightly and the confidence in her eyes was burning. This made her shake off her nerves and say calmly: "But it will be in the top spot, Uncle Joey."

"I have heard a little bit about your affair when I was in college in Los Angeles. During this time, the company must have spent a lot of money to cover up this scandal. I can not pursue this matter."

Annie lightly jumped down from the table and walked to Joey who was embarrassed because his background was revealed and his thoughts were exposed. He stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "I hope we have a good time working together, Uncle Joey. By the way, please give me a message to those few people." Say hello, little aunt."

Joey, who was in his seventies, swallowed his loose Adam's apple and looked at the girl with a slightly raised chin and burning confidence in her eyes. When he nodded silently and wanted to hold Annie's hand, Annie took her hand back in advance, greeted her with a smile and left. He went to the desk, picked up his satchel, left the office, waved his hand and said, "By the way, say hello to those little aunties for me."

With a cold face, Joey Bode watched Anne leave with his hands in his pockets, walked up to the photo of Liv Hathaway, moved his fat butt on the table, suddenly smiled at the photo and sighed: "She is really Like you, isn’t it?”

"The same thing is not giving people steps..."

"There are also unruly, unreasonable, sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued..."

Joey Bode took out his mobile phone and reading glasses from his trouser pocket, and wrote a piece of news that could shock the entire New York real estate industry as if to vent his resentment: Anne Hathaway is about to take over the Clinton Real Estate Group with full authority, and let the public relations team prepare for it. Media preparation.

"Arrogant and arrogant..."

After Joey, who kept talking to himself, finished sending the message, his reading glasses hid the wretchedness in his eyes, making him look somewhat gentle. He climbed up on the table and looked directly at the photo of Liv Hathaway, trying to make his When I could straighten my waist, I suddenly changed my posture and concluded affectionately: "It's just that I still lack your charming self-confidence."

The Clinton Group is well-known in New York for its large number of rental properties in a small half of Hell's Kitchen, but this is not the pillar of its industry, but regional investment, ocean-going trade, and military industry and energy investment that both provide talent and build an external image. That's the top priority.

The rent in Hell's Kitchen is relatively low. Due to its geographical location close to Midtown Manhattan, the most prosperous area in New York, young people from out of town often come to New York to seek career development in this area. Local rent collectors in Hell's Kitchen, who have been wandering the streets since they were young, rent every year. Can find a lot of fresh blood for the company.

Over time, the Clinton Group became a company that young people who first arrived in New York wanted to try.

In the elevator, Anne Hathaway, who was crowded among the crowd, was taking deep breaths. The look of Joey Bird's old pervert made her very stressed.

Those around her who hold the materials will become her employees over time.
