Chapter 201: Lily Ying
In the northwest financial district of San Francisco, the city is dotted with skyscrapers, making it a hub of high-rise buildings.
As the "Wall Street of the West Coast," San Francisco's financial district housed branches of all the world's major banks, truly representing the financial center of the West Coast.
Both the investment department of Capet Pictures and the headquarters of Dawn Investments were located in San Francisco.
Charles specifically visited Dona Williams' office in San Francisco.
Lily Ying, female, 25 years old, obtained a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Economics and a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT between 1997-2000.
From July 2002 to December 2004, she served as the Director of Marketing and Sales at Ikanos;
From January 2004 to December 2005, she was the Deputy General Manager at AT&T.
"Dona, this one's a genius! Where did you find someone to manage Dawn Ventures?" Charles was still a bit awestruck. Entering MIT at 16 and graduating with two Bachelor's degrees and a Master's degree by the age of 20.
"She was initially set to become a partner at KPCB to manage a venture fund, and a headhunting firm recommended her to us," Dona replied with a smile.
"Besides, she really appreciates our investment in YouTube, so she agreed!" Dona explained with a smile.
"That's great!"
Dona Williams smiled and went out to call Lily Ying into the office.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Capet!"
"Good afternoon, Lily. I'm delighted that we will be working together!" Charles said with a smile after shaking hands with her who was around his age.
"Mr. Capet is indeed a genius!"
After the getting the regular updates from both Dona and Lily, Charles came to the original purpose of his visit.
"I don't have a favorable view on the U.S. current real estate market. The massive subprime loans are alarming!"
"Are you talking about the housing bubble?" Such concerns had always existed in the U.S., though many people refused to believe it.
Charles nodded, "Yes Lily, I believe this is a subprime crisis. I need you to help me win this battle! Later, I can also support you in establishing your own private equity fund."
Lily nodded, realizing she needed to spend time researching the current U.S. real estate market.
Charles had determined the overall direction; Lily would be responsible for filling the gaps and handling the details because Charles himself didn't understand these operational methods.
...
In the evening, Charles received a call from Scarlett Johansson and went to the Hilton Union Square Hotel in downtown San Francisco.
"Mmm," Scarlett Johansson hugged and kissed Charles as soon as he entered her room.
Which man wouldn't love the sexy and hot Scarlett Johansson?
After making out on the couch for a while, Charles held the girl in his arms, his hands caressing her 32D chest, asking, "Are you leaving?"
"Keira is going back to England, and I'm returning to L.A.!"
"I know Keira is going back to England, but you don't have much going on, do you?" Charles asked, puzzled.
"I haven't seen you these few days in San Francisco. Every time I called, you were busy!" Scarlett felt a bit upset. She had come specifically to keep him company, but he spent the whole day working?
If not meeting with tech company executives in Silicon Valley, he was in the hotel negotiating with bankers or investors.
Charles awkwardly smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, don't worry. It's all sorted out. I'll stay and keep you company tonight!"
Then, Charles kissed Scarlett Johansson. Soon, she was kneeling on the carpet in front of the couch.
At that moment, Keira Knightley, carrying large bags, returned from outside and entered the room directly.
"Scarlett, look, I bought a lot of lingerie. It should suit you well. I also got some cosmetics and perfume!" Keira exclaimed.
After stepping in, she did not expect to see Charles reclining on the couch with a look of enjoyment and Scarlett Johansson sitting in his lap with an embarrassed sideways glance at her.
