Michael Lin made my day vivid when I read his description of Shirley below.
We are all over CIC for Gordon and we have introduced your 3 other clients
into the mix. May as well kick all this along faster. I have alerted Arlene
so she is in the loop but I did not show her this email.
Talk to you all soon

Jimmy,


I just had a good chat with Shirley. She's tender and nice. We talked
about Edgewater and the other three fund houses.


* Edgewater: She'll definitely get back to us and Edgewater as to 1)
what CIC needs next (info.), and 2) their trip to the US to meet with
Edgewater.
* The other three funds: She'll reply to my email as to if and which
one(s) CIC would like to meet either in China or in the US. She
specifically said sending her more detailed info of the three firms is
important: the funds' description, investment philosophy/strategy,
management teams, sizes/scales of funds, length/history of funds and of
course more importantly returns/track records. (We should get the info soon
from Arlene for us to refine and send over to Shirley.)


Regards,


Michael

Have called Shirley's desk phone for 3 times. No answer. Must be in
meetings. Therefore, I did the email to her first.


Do not have her cell phone #. But will keep trying and get back to you...

Shirley,


Thanks much for your time meeting with our US associates- the senior
management of Rosemont Seneca Partners and The Edgewater Funds. Messrs.
Hunter Biden and Jim Gordon are very keen to receive you/your team members
during your next trip to Washington DC and Chicago to further explore the
opportunity of cooperation. In the mean time, please feel free to let us at
Thornton Group know if there's any further assistance we can provide you
with.


We have also received requests from some other business associates of ours
in the fund management field that they wish to meet with CIC in China or in
the US. I understand that you head CIC's private equity investment
operations and might wish to get to know more of Thornton's American
friends, who are the top management of the following reputable fund houses,
among others:
