Chapter 195: Let's Diversify Your Investment (Double Your Monthly Pass)
As the host, Lily can't stay with Su Mu, she also needs to come forward in place of the family to help receive guests.
The scene of his conversation with Bush Jr. just now was seen by many people, and people came to talk to Su Mu one after another, especially those who knew his worth.
There are not many billionaires in the world, but there are also a lot, and those who can rank in front of Su Mu are actually only one or two hundred people, and if they are calculated in terms of family wealth, there will be more people who are richer than him.
At the coming-of-age ceremony tonight, no one was worth more than Su Mu, and in the spirit of what he might want in the future, many people came around him one after another.
After getting to know a few people, he quickly met more people through them, his own strength was enough, plus Su Mu deliberately found topics to chat with and manage his own personal relationships, and after a few minutes, there were more than ten more business cards in his pocket.
For example, Mr. Powell, the Attorney General of Los Angeles, many people can't find a way to befriend him, but Su Mu's financial resources are abundant, and he can easily get in touch with the circle they belong to, and he is accommodated by this gang, and even has the meaning of stammering Su Mu.
Most of the others are in the process of rising, slowly developing a network of contacts and expanding their influence step by step.
Su Mu is different, he first became rich, and then decided to expand his network, many rich people in Silicon Valley belong to full tech nerds, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but no one knows them when they walk on the road.
Compared with them, Su Mu is already considered a "hipster", at least he is working hard to manage his contacts, and the people he knows now may become wealth in the future, and some simple problems can be solved by saying hello, but if there are no connections, there will be a lot of trouble......
"So, is this little guy our daughter's boyfriend?" asked a middle-aged man with a big belly and a slightly chubby body in the crowd.
He is Lily's father, Barron, and Ms. Aveline wears a diamond necklace around her neck, which is maintained all year round, and she looks younger than her actual age, and the couple are very incompatible.
After looking at Su Mu again, he said with a smile: "It's pretty good, right, it's cooler than I imagined, look at him talking to others, completely dominate the scene, just now he was standing there alone stupidly." ”
Mr. Barron is still obsessed with finding a Chinese boyfriend for his daughter, but this is not the focus of his attention, a few years ago he was a poor boy living in Los Angeles's Chinatown, and he has become a rich man in just a few years, which shows that his ability is very good.
At his age, he has already seen through many things, appearance is not important, ability and strength are important, Su Mu is quite in line with Barron's criteria for choosing a son, and his tone is regretful: "I'm worried that he doesn't have the vision to control this huge wealth." ”
"Why?"
"Because he bought the Empire State Building, which is not a wise investment at all, everyone loves the Empire State Building, but they can't control it, and I am afraid that after a short period of time and suddenly having money, they will become arrogant. ”
Mr. Barron went on to say to his wife: "If he can buy the company that controls the Empire State Building again, it will be a good investment in the long run, but if it is just the Empire State Building, I am not optimistic." ”
Aveline said good things: "The building and the ground are his, at least not messy like others, do you think such a calm guy will be blind and arrogant?"
Benjamin went to Lily just now and told her that he didn't like this guy, and he cried a lot after being taught by Lily, and his daughter's feelings were the most important, and she hadn't reached the point of talking about marriage, just falling in love. ”
Nodding, Barron changed the subject and said, "Our son actually took my watch, just to show off to his classmates, the real rich never show off, I think we should let him suffer a little, and send him to West Point when he is older? ”
Coincidentally, Lily walked up at this moment, raised her hand and asked her parents, "Beautiful, I knew this jewelry when I was a child, and now it's mine!"
"Leon gave you such a beautiful gift, your father has never given me such valuable jewelry. ”
Cartier's leopard bracelet, known for Edward VIII's love, is one of the most famous pieces of jewelry in recent times, instantly recognizable by her mother, Aveline.
Barron lay down and retorted, "When did you celebrate your birthday and I didn't send you?"
Lily, my daughter, after today you can take the money out of the trust fund, and I'll give you another four million dollars, making up ten million, and then use it to do what you like, without my permission and that of your mother. ”
The meaning of the coming-of-age ceremony for Western girls is that they need to be responsible for their own lives when they grow up, and Lily said happily: "That's great, so if I sell the oil painting that my grandfather left me, you won't object to it, right?"
Leonardo da Vinci's hand-me-down works are extremely rare, and Barron's face twitched when he heard this, and he asked her in surprise: "Isn't 10 million dollars enough?"
"Sir, as you just said, it's my own business.
The appreciation of the oil painting is limited, and the speed is too slow, so it should be sold for investment, and my grandfather's will stipulated that I was not allowed to sell the wine estate, but it was not written that I could not sell the painting. ”
That's true, but Lily doesn't know what to invest in when she sells the painting.
Professional issues should be left to professional talents to consider, and at the beginning of the ball, Lily decisively invited Su Mu to dance the first opening dance, which represented obvious significance.
People stood on either side, men and women, and the two danced ballroom waltzes to the sound of music, and listened to Lily whisper about getting a sum of money and preparing to invest in a business, so that she could help think about what to invest in, and Su Mu was in trouble.
Worried that even if she gave good advice, Lily would not be able to do business, so she danced with her around her and said: "Diversify your investment, Microsoft, Adidas, Nike, the stocks of these three companies are worth holding for a long time, and leave some money for the business you like."
I once thought of selling home appliances like a supermarket, but then I didn't get involved, and Best Buy is doing quite well in this industry, and I can go to other countries to try to replicate this model. ”
"I'm not interested in selling appliances, Adidas and Nike...... Don't these two companies sell clothes and shoes?"
"That's right, I plan to wait for the listing of Qugou, and then borrow a sum of money to invest in them, which has been developing rapidly for a long time, and is still expanding abroad, and the prospects should be good. ”
Su Mu didn't tell her that she had heard the names of these two companies in the news about the 2017 brand value rankings, the former with a market value of more than $30 billion, and the latter with a market value of more than $80 billion.
He was already thinking about diversification, worried that his luck would not always be good, and that with his appearance, he would change the trajectory of historical development, so he pondered investing in a few more industries.
Today's personal debt-to-asset ratio is extremely low, and in addition to the money owed by credit cards, only the Empire State Building's loan of more than $40 million can be slightly more aggressive......
