908. A hundred million
Uncle Lian Jie may not know how many rumors he will suffer in the future. Although he also came through the wind and waves, but the times have changed, and now the rapid development of the Internet, the future network world, is completely a colorful super dye vat, there are all kinds of people in it, all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, Internet surfing a day encountered perverts, more than the ancient people encountered in a lifetime. Therefore, many obviously good things are often deliberately distorted, and then a group of followers come over and laugh and watch the excitement, looking like they will not stop if they don't force people to death.
And this is the situation that Uncle Lian Jie and One Foundation will definitely encounter in the future, but this is the only thing that Zhou Fangyuan can't help. All he can do is help with a certain amount of donation.
Looking at Uncle Lian Jie's obviously much older face, Zhou Fangyuan suddenly showed a smile on his face.
"Uncle Lian Jie, I love your movies very much, really, I can say that I grew up watching your movies. I can't even remember when I even had a VCR at home. My dad led me downstairs to the place where I rented the videotape, rented the videotape to watch, I remember the first movie I saw of you, it was Jingwu Hero. β
"Oh, the play...... It seems to have been filmed around '94, when did you see it?"
"At least 95 years later, I thought it was ...... So handsome, really, Uncle Lian Jie, from that time on, you are the most handsome male star in my mind. β
"Haha, really? I didn't expect it, but it's a pity, look at me now, I'm not handsome at all. β
Uncle Lian Jie said self-deprecatingly.
But Zhou Fangyuan did not talk, but also fell into silence.
"Since then, I've loved your movies, I was just eleven years old at the time, and although I was already very sensible, I still didn't know much about movie casts and stuff...... But it doesn't matter, I took that video to the video hall, and I was known for looking for a movie of 'this actor', and the boss was good, and found all your movies for me. Huang Feihong, Fang Shiyu, Zhang Sanfeng, Zhongnanhai Bodyguard, Shaolin Five Ancestors, Adventure King ......"
As Zhou Fangyuan said the names of these movies one after another, the smile on Uncle Lianjie's face gradually disappeared, and his expression began to calm down.
"You on the movie screen, really, so handsome, in the most important decade of my growth, you were the only star I liked, when others were obsessed with the so-called F4, or other Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, the star I liked was always the only one. β
Zhou Fangyuan's tone became deeper and lower, and he looked up at Uncle Lian Jie opposite, with a smile on his face.
It's just that this smile is a little bitter and a little helpless.
"If I'm not mistaken...... You want to take a break, don't you?"
"How do you ......"
Uncle Lian Jie was stunned, but he didn't ask the second half of the sentence, but looked at Zhou Fangyuan very certically, "How do you see it." β
"I felt it from the time you were ready to get the One Foundation," this sentence is nonsense, but Zhou Fangyuan didn't care about this for a long time, "I don't dare to say how well I know you, but I have followed you for so many years and grew up watching your movies, Uncle Lian Jie, really, I even wanted to escape from the living environment at that time and follow your footsteps, but then I didn't have that guts, which proved that I could only think about it." But anyway, I know you and I understand you, so I can feel that you have the meaning of the shadow. β
β......β
Uncle Lian Jie was silent, he didn't even know how to respond to Zhou Fangyuan's words.
"Ha, look at me, such a good day, what are you talking about. β
Zhou Fangyuan suddenly raised his hand and rubbed his face, "No matter what you say, uncle, since you found me, I can't let you down, seriously, even if you don't look for me, I will take the initiative to find me." I didn't have that ability before, I could only watch you from the other side of the TV screen, but now that I finally have the opportunity to sit across from you, I won't just give up. Colleague, I would also like to thank you for your films, which have accompanied me through ten years. Uncle, I don't dare to say more, I will tell you the truth, the group this year, is also an important period of development, it can even be said that in the next ten years, I expect the development of the group will not slow down, so the funds I can mobilize are limited. I try not to mobilize the funds on the group's side, and I personally can mobilize the funds...... I'll give 100 million!"
"Ahem...... How much?"
Even Uncle Jie couldn't help coughing twice when he heard this number at first glance.
It's not that he hasn't seen so much money, after so many years of acting career, all kinds of salaries and incomes add up to hundreds of millions, and the unit is still in dollars. But that refers to the total number of assets, all movable and immovable property, including stocks, futures, etc., when added up. Under normal circumstances, he would not be able to come up with 100 million liquidity at once.
Even now, the total amount of funds he has contacted is just over 100 million. There is no shortage of superstars from all walks of life, as well as some bigwigs in the business world.
With so many people combined, more than 100 million yuan has just been raised, and a large part of them is still only on paper, so it is uncertain how it will be in the future. After all...... The business world is always turbulent, and those who are successful today may be defeated tomorrow, and everything they say is fake before the money is in hand.
And now Zhou Fangyuan is alone, a young man who is much younger than all the people he contacts, and when he sees him, he is such a young man who should be called uncle according to his age, and his mouth is 100 million, and it is his personal funds...... Even if he knew that the Yuanfang Group had a big business, Uncle Lian Jie was still shocked by Zhou Fangyuan's generosity.
And then there's worry.
"Actually, you don't have to do this, ...... Chou Dong"
"Call me Xiaoyuan!"
"Okay, Xiaoyuan, when we do charity, first of all, we must have a charitable heart, and secondly, we must do what we can. Charity is not a hard indicator, you can't engage in moral kidnapping, it doesn't mean that rich people must do more, everything is voluntary, so you are no better than such ......",
"But I did it of my own volition!"
"100 million is too much......"
"Perhaps, but as you said, this is a completely voluntary thing, and I donate 100 million resources, so please don't refuse me, just take it as the price that I, a fan, pay for chasing stars. β
Zhou Fangyuan smiled.
He wanted to say this in his previous life, but he didn't have that qualification. This life can finally be like this, not for the sake of pretending to beep, it is completely from the heart.
Different from Uncle Long's time, the film festival is an opportunity for Beitong City, and it is also an opportunity for Yuanfang Group, in terms of the group's development strategy, Yuanfang Media is an indispensable link, and Uncle Long, in the domestic entertainment industry, dare not say Tongtian, but he is definitely one of the big names. A good relationship with Uncle Long, it is definitely beneficial and harmless, this kind of activity of the film week, if it is done well and bigger, it will be a film festival in the future, and the distant group will be close to the water, and there will be many benefits;
How good?
But on Uncle Li's side, Zhou Fangyuan is far from so utilitarian, he is just because he likes Uncle Li, likes his movies, likes him as a public welfare person, and because he likes this person, he is willing to provide some help. No matter how much it is, Zhou Fangyuan is far from being unable to take it, but he is not wronged, and to be honest, no matter how large the amount is, he will have a hard time holding it himself. 100 million is the limit that Zhou Fangyuan can transfer at will, and this is the money that he can completely say.
Uncle Li obviously didn't expect Zhou Fangyuan to be so atmospheric, he was stunned for a while before laughing silently.
"I'm really glad that you can support me so much, okay, I won't talk to you anymore, come, walk with me. β
With that, Uncle Li got up and walked towards the room, and Zhou Fangyuan also got up to follow.
One Foundation is the earliest personal charity fund in China, and Uncle Li immigrated overseas, in fact, it also has such a meaning. Foreign capital investment is easy to do, and the policy is relatively loose compared with domestic ones. The same personal charity fund, replaced by a domestic star, I don't know how troublesome the procedures are, anyway, it will definitely be difficult to get. But if it is changed to foreign funds, the difficulty will be relatively low, plus he has to consider the study of his daughters, so although he has immigrated, Zhou Fangyuan fully understands.
He actually has another idea today.
Before, didn't grandpa say that he wanted to get a fund and the family would be "raised"? As a result, the second generation of the Zhou family collectively boycotted it, but as the eldest of the third generation, Zhou Fangyuan felt that this was actually promising, and he came today to discuss this matter with Uncle Li.
"If that's what you say...... I think you can think about family funds. β
"Family funds?"
A word that feels somewhat familiar, but also very unfamiliar.
"Yes, family funds. β
Uncle Li nodded, and then began to explain to Zhou Fangyuan.
In fact, a family fund refers to a fund whose funds mainly come from multiple members of the same family, whether in the form of a trust, an offshore company, or a single account or bank account, which can be collectively referred to as a "family fund". The concept of family funds is more popular in European and American countries, in our country almost until 10 years later, it is considered to start, 06 years at this stage, in the country to engage in family funds, except for a very small number of particularly high-end families, is those who have achieved fame super bosses, can be described as rare.
The Mi Family Fund originated from the wealthy families of the Gilded Age, including Morgan, Rockefeller, Carnegie, Mellon, etc., to manage and pass on the family assets. In terms of purchasing power, these families are the real rich, while the assets of the individual billionaires, such as Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and others, are far behind them. Two centuries later, although these families no longer have super-rich, the total assets controlled by these families are still in the tens of billions. The main reason why these families have been able to pass on for generations is that their family wealth is centrally managed through family funds.
The first family fund in the United States was the Rockefeller family office.
John S. Rockefeller amassed huge oil wealth, which Forbes estimated to be worth more than $600 billion in 2008, and then divided the assets into several parts: part donated to education and scientific research, including the University of Chicago and Rockefeller University, etc., part donated to the Rockefeller Foundation, which continues to help various social welfare undertakings in perpetuity, and manages assets of more than $30 billion, and part remains in the Rockefeller family fund, which is the Rockefeller Financial Corporation, which manages more than $30 billion in assets for the Rockefeller family and other institutionsγ Through the inheritance of the assets of the family foundation, the Rockefeller family has never had a business tycoon like John Rockefeller, but it can still maintain a huge influence in the political, economic, cultural, charitable and other fields of the United States.
The Rockefeller Family Fund uses a third-party investment model, outsourcing the chief investment officer. This model is a model in which professional investors manage wealth together for multiple families through a single portfolio, also known as a multi-family fund. The third-party investment companies with the best reputation and investment performance in the United States are mainly fund companies composed of former chief investment officers of various university funds.
In addition to the multi-family fund model, some families will also consider setting up their own independent family office to manage their own family funds. The investment, operation, and management costs of these independent family offices are relatively high, and they usually manage assets of more than $500 million before they can build a team and bear the operating costs. In addition to providing investment, wealth management and wealth management services also provide financial services such as tax filing, real estate purchase, and private jet management.
The asset management method of a separate family office is closely related to the family's source of wealth, the industry in which it operates, the cycle of the enterprise and the family's investment experience. For example, the main family assets of the two Greek ship kings are Greek private shipbuilding and shipping enterprises. After the shipbuilding industry was hit hard by the global economic crisis, the two families each set up a two-family office in New York with $1 billion, mainly investing in their own large-cap stocks in the United States. Since the main assets of both families are fixed in the Greek shipbuilding industry, it is hoped that the family fund's US equity portfolio can hedge against the company's industry risk, low liquidity risk, and Greek political and economic risk.
In contrast, the main assets of the wealthy families in China are real estate companies, and the investment method of their family funds is to invest in commercial real estate in New York. In this way, the family's assets are dispersed from the country to the United States, and then to the rest of the world, reducing the political and economic risk a little. However, although the correlation between domestic and domestic real estate is not high, the characteristics of real estate investment are basically the same, including low liquidity, high leverage, low returns, etc., and it has not really achieved the purpose of establishing a family fund, maintaining and increasing value, and inheriting assets.
While sticking to its main business, the Soros family is also actively diversifying its investments according to the model of university funds. Soros's main assets come from the earnings of Soros's hedge funds. Soros retired in 2015, and before he retired, he dissolved the fund, returned the remaining funds to investors, and converted more than $20 billion in assets he earned into his family fund. Soros groomed his son to be the successor of the family, and at the same time hired professional investors to invest in the family fund. While adhering to global macro investment, family funds also invest in other asset classes, including venture capital, private equity, etc., and invest in other funds as well as direct investment.
Theoretically speaking, the family fund is completely in line with the old man's previous requirements and ideas, and Uncle Li's explanation can be said to make Zhou Fangyuan's eyes shine.
