Chpater 102 Let me show you what I can do
The Creator Company's lounge had four rooms of varying sizes, each filled with visitors—investment companies, media outlets, or businesses seeking cooperation. Elbert's room was the largest, and it was not prepared for him but for Elowen from Catalyst Capital.
Elbert and Elowen sat together on a high-end leather sofa, but they were sitting quite far apart. A moment later, the receptionist walked in slowly with a cup of coffee and a small pot of fresh flowers. She smiled at Elowen and said, "Miss Winter, here's your mocha coffee, one-third milk, two sugars. These are your favorite irises. I'll place them in front of you, hoping they bring you a good mood."
Elowen was surprised, "How did you know I like this kind of coffee and these flowers?"
The receptionist smiled lightly, "You are a user of our Gemini app. Before you arrived, we checked your preferences from our database and prepared these in advance."
Elowen shook her head and smiled, "I have to say, you Creator folks really opened my eyes! Not only is your network technology unparalleled, but your service standards and reception creativity are also top-notch! This is ten times better than the seven-star service at the Burj Al Arab!"
The receptionist smiled gently. "Thank you for your compliment, Miss Winter. Please rest for a moment, and our department director will be with you shortly."
Upon hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Elowen's eyes. "I'm here to see Mr. Weaver. Why is he not here? I really do not have much time. Please try to arrange it."
The receptionist nodded slightly without giving a definite answer, "I'll do my best."
The receptionist then turned to Elbert. "Sir, I'm sorry, but we don't have your information in our database. What would you like to drink?"
Elbert smiled slightly, "Just a glass of water for me. The person I'm meeting will come to find me shortly."
The receptionist was puzzled but nodded. "Alright."
Elbert looked through the glass wall of the reception room, taking in the view of the entire floor. The spotless office space, busy yet orderly employees, and considerate and detailed processes all reflected strong management capabilities, which gratified Elbert.
'Alvin, I was right about you!' thought he.
Elbert took out his phone and texted Alvin, "I'm here, Alvin!"
"You can't do it this way," suddenly came a sighing voice from the side.
Elowen gently stirred the coffee on the table, looked at Elbert, and smiled, "You won't be able to discuss any projects this way, and they definitely won't accept your investment."
Elbert also smiled and turned back, "Why do you say that?"
Elowen shook her head slightly. "The Gemini app database doesn't have your information, which means you haven't even downloaded the Gemini app. You want to invest in Creator, but you don't even use their product. How could you do business like this?"
Elbert blinked in surprise.
'This mixed-race beauty wasn't wrong! I wanted to invest in a company and earn dividends but didn't even understand their product! If such an investment company existed, I probably wouldn't use it either! It seems that I'm really not a competent investor!'he pondered.
Immediately, Elbert looked into Elowen's background and her Catalyst Capital—a well-known investment company in Veridiania with nearly 200 billion in assets.
They had incubated nine A-share listed companies, seven companies on the Growth Enterprise Market, and four companies listed on Nasdaq. The investment success rate was as high as 40%, with an average investment return rate of 3500%.
This female investor, Elowen, was even famous for her keen eye and brilliant methods. She was nicknamed in the industry—the Queen of Investment!
Elbert nodded silently.
He thought, 'Achieving such results is no ordinary feat! However, according to Robert's investigation, this stunningly beautiful mixed-race woman has quite a few scandals. She has been photographed by entertainment companies multiple times, drinking with sexy foreign women in bars and then not returning home, frequently visiting VCC nightclubs, a lesbian nightclub!
'What a pity for such a beautiful woman to be a lesbian.'
After pondering a moment, Elbert shook his head, discarding the distracting thoughts.
"So, Miss Winter, what do you think I should do?" he asked.
Elowen elegantly picked up her coffee, pressed her red lips to the cup, and took a sip.
She replied, "First, you must fully understand your target, which is the startup company you fancy. Find every possible way to understand every detail about it. List all its strengths and weaknesses, prospects, and areas that need improvement, as a best friend would."
Elbert nodded and asked, "Then what do you think of this Creator?"
Elowen smiled lightly. "It's great in almost every way, with hardly any flaws, except... its decision-maker lacks ambition and focus! They've created such a great product and gained so many users in a short time. I can understand not charging for now, but why not expand into other areas? We can use social networking to gain a user base and then diversify into games, music, film, etc., all with unlimited potential! Like Meta Platforms!"
Elbert nodded heavily. "Yes, the decision-maker of this company, I don't know what he's doing every day!"
Elowen smiled lightly and looked at Elbert with a high posture. "Secondly, to successfully invest in this company, you should become friends with its founders and executives, establishing deep relationships! After all, every business is people-centric! Only by understanding them can you grasp the future of the company!"
The assistant at the side pursed her lips. "Miss Winter, why are you telling him so much? I don't think he has the insight!"
Elowen smiled slightly. "I think Mr. Perry here has an excellent appearance! He has the potential for business PR!"
Elbert smiled wryly in his heart.
Elowen continued to smile, "Mr. Perry, I see your Witness company isn't very famous. You might consider changing jobs and coming to my company. I might personally mentor you into an excellent investor!"
Elbert looked up and smiled. "To be honest, I had the same thought!"
Elowen looked at Elbert with her blue eyes. "You also thought about changing jobs?"
"No," Elbert smiled, "I think you could come to my company!"
"You are unbelievable!" The assistant frowned, looking exasperated!
Elowen laughed. "It's okay; he doesn't know me yet."
Then, Elowen turned to the assistant. "Is that French restaurant booked?"
"Miss Winter, it's booked. I used many connections to get the best spot, and the top French chef will prepare a special meal for you!" the assistant nodded.
"That's good!" Elowen straightened her proud chest, "I'll definitely find a way to invite Mr. Weaver to lunch with me!"
As she spoke, a man in a sharp suit hurriedly walked in from outside. Elowen and the assistant immediately stood up.
'Mr. Weaver! Great, he came in person! He didn't dare to underestimate me!' Elowen's lips curled into a seductive smile!
Alvin excitedly pushed the door open. While walking, he nodded at Elowen! But it was just a nod! Then, Alvin walked straight to Elbert.
"You little rascal, why didn't you say something before coming?" Alvin put his hand on Elbert's shoulder, "So, where are we eating?"
Elbert tilted his head and thought, "How about that hot dog store we used to go to in school?"
"Great! I've been wanting to go!"
The two laughed and walked out of the lounge!
The receptionist from earlier had a faint sweat on her forehead!
'Who is this person? Fortunately, I didn't offend him earlier!' she thought.
"Oh, by the way, Lyra, this is Elbert, the behind-the-scenes chairman I've often mentioned! Notify me immediately whenever he comes!" Alvin smiled and turned back to instruct the receptionist.
"Yes, Mr. Weaver!"
Seeing her idol, Lyra felt a bit dizzy!
