"Jennifer, is everything okay at home?"
That evening, at a nightclub in West Hollywood, Aaron was in a private room with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Jennifer Connelly in his arms when he made the call.
Aaron had originally planned to bring both Jennifer Connelly and Catherine Zeta-Jones to the club for some fun, but that afternoon, Jennifer Connelly received a call from home and left.
"Oh, good. As long as everything's fine."
After hanging up, Aaron lowered his head and kissed the sexy, alluring Catherine Zeta-Jones in his arms.
"What, I'm not enough for you on my own?"
After the kiss, Catherine Zeta-Jones patted the man. "Should we call someone else over?"
Aaron stroked the woman's waist. "Heh, you're enough. I'm going to the restroom first."
As Aaron came out of the restroom, he received another call from Charles Johnson of Franklin Templeton Investments.
"What is it, Charles?"
"Aaron, does your investment company in Hong Kong know anything about China National Petroleum Corporation? The company will soon be listed in Hong Kong."
"Oh, it's a state-owned enterprise. It became a joint-stock company last year, so there definitely won't be any problems with the overall direction!"
Of course Aaron was optimistic about it. PetroChina was about to be listed in Hong Kong?
Aaron did know that another similar Chinese state-owned enterprise—Sinopec—had participated in Fortune's Global 500 ranking for the first time last year, placing seventy-third with revenue of 34 billion US dollars.
PetroChina had to be roughly the same. Haihua Fund could absolutely invest in it!
Franklin Templeton Investments had established Franklin Templeton Investments (Asia) Limited in Hong Kong back in 1994, handling business across Greater China.
It was only natural that they had noticed PetroChina.
After hanging up, Aaron was certain to have someone keep an eye on the PetroChina Group!
