If you rank the business in hand, the most worry-free thing is not Mango Toys, but the Mason Trust Fund.

The company currently manages more than $260 million in assets, almost a quarter of which belongs to Mr. Han, and the rest of the money comes from around the world, which has been invested in the securities exchange market in batches in exchange for shares of many companies.

These include Coca-Cola shares worth $40 million, Wal-Mart shares worth more than $70 million, and some shares in General Electric, KFC, McDonald's, and other companies, leaving only $20 million in the Bank of America, in case any investor needs to cash out for emergencies, and the annualized interest rate of almost 10.7 percent is certainly not small.

Considering the perverted inflation rate, don't think about making money from this money deposited in the bank.

After a brief phone call with the person in charge of the Mason Trust Fund, Han Chudong told the other party that he could start preparing for the third batch of fund-raising plans, mainly because since its establishment, the yield has outperformed the bank interest rate, and even outperformed the broader market and treasury bonds, giving him the illusion that it is easy for private equity funds to operate.

In fact, many peers have already lost their armor with the continuous decline of the market, and even if they are profitable, it is difficult for profits to outperform inflation, and they also need to pay management fees and commissions.

Under this premise, the performance of the Mason Trust Fund has been very bright since its establishment, and he wants to take advantage of the low market to buy some high-quality stocks to invest in the media, brokerages and other core industries that can allow him to take the opportunity to make profits and use other people's funds to increase his own strength.

For example, the Australian news company, which is very influential in Australia and the United Kingdom, is increasing its presence in the United States after taking part of the shares of the Wall Street Journal.

Speaking of the Wall Street Journal.

Han Chudong was targeted by its editor-in-chief last year, and later consulted with the shareholders of the Wall Street Journal to teach the old man named Nick Lambert a lesson, and also filed a lawsuit in the court in New York against the newspaper for publishing false news.

The final outcome ended in an out-of-court settlement, with Nick Lambert demoted to an irrelevant position, leaving in anger and a brief apology in a small corner of the Wall Street Journal.

Mason & Associates has spent nearly a million dollars on advertising in the Wall Street Journal, which doesn't matter to an editor-in-chief at all, not to mention that Han Chudong is willing to give some benefits to the two shareholders who have the right to speak in private.

Unfortunately, neither side was able to broker a deal to transfer shares in the Wall Street Journal, and it was ultimately closed.

At present, Han Chudong holds part of the shares of Playboy and Vogue through Mason United Group, and indirectly holds a small number of shares of ELLE magazine through Vogue magazine, and has set up a group in an attempt to create a new newspaper by himself.

The main reason for choosing to invest in his own establishment is that after he investigated the equity of several major newspapers, he found that it was too scattered, and it was difficult to grasp the right to speak even at a huge cost, which obviously did not meet his needs.

In addition, behind these traditional and old newspapers, there will always be multiple interest groups involved, both the business community and Washington, and the two are closely related.

Let Han Chudong be a little afraid of being branded with certain labels, and thus cause unnecessary trouble, if you simply invest through the Mason Trust, you don't need to worry too much.

The upper circle is small, but it is much more complicated than the life of ordinary people, and it may touch the interests of others casually, and it is more likely to be regarded as an imaginary enemy or hunting target by others.

It can be seen from the fact that Arthur's assistant was contacted by others during the holiday and used money to lure him to betray Han Chudong, Han Chudong is still "weak" enough to make others think that he can be bullied.

The difference is that he lacks background and reputation is not ruthless enough, whether it is the hard-hearted old Paul Getty, or David Rockefeller and others with many allies, they seem to be more difficult to provoke than him on the surface.

Fortunately, there are not many places where people can take advantage of loopholes, Han Chudong thinks that he is more law-abiding in business, and he is very careful on weekdays, so although he is vigilant, he doesn't need to worry too much.

I had a brief chat with the executives in New York on the phone, about adding News Australia and Viacom Group to the investment list, and then we had dinner and continued the meeting with my executives in the afternoon......

————————————

The day just passed, so busy that I couldn't feel the time passing.

Before getting off work, he asked the secretary to help him book a restaurant, Han Chudong arrived early and waited for Bushnell to arrive, and in the morning Arthur's assistant informed him to meet, and the middle-aged man who served as the CEO of Atari and Aurora Games agreed to do so.

In the past, I thought Bushnell was a technical nerd, but I didn't expect that in the betrayal of his partner, he learned a good way, and he was no worse than those old foxes in the business world.

However, the vision is not very good.

If you really have a vision, how can you do this kind of stupid thing of picking sesame seeds and throwing watermelons, so it seems that it is no wonder that Sony will be dominant in the future, but Atari will disappear in the long river of history.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, when Bushnell appeared in the restaurant and the two looked at each other, Han Chudong could clearly perceive the vigilance in his eyes.

I don't know if it's an illusion, and even seems to be a little impatient, most of them think that Han Chudong is blocking his financial path.

The two had not been in touch since they last met in Silicon Valley, and at this moment the waiter came to deliver the menu, and Bushnell refused, saying, "I'm not hungry, just give him the menu." If there is anything to say directly, anyway, I will never give up the practice of licensing, Atari gives you a licensing fee, and it is not low. ”

Last year, Atari relied on the "Ping Pong" street game console to help you earn a nine-figure profit, I know you value Atari's arcade products more, but you don't discuss it with me. ”

Han Chudong is deliberately stimulating and mocking Bushnell, the relationship between the two has broken down, and they are currently more like enemies than partners, so there is no need to give face.

Bushnell's careful thinking was debunked by Han Chudong on the surface, and he really couldn't hang up on his face, his face suddenly turned slightly red, and he said: "I am the controlling shareholder, and I don't need you to dictate when making decisions, I have been taking care of it since the creation of Aurora Games, what have you done during this period?"

"I don't have less money to pay, and more than you, when you decide to make a partnership, you take the initiative to steal the decision-making power, and only give my person a vice president position with no real power, not to mention how much you contribute has nothing to do with your encroachment on the company's patents, this is a matter of principle. ”

Han Chudong ordered a tomahawk steak, regardless of whether Bushnell ate it or not, he was hungry himself anyway, and continued:

"I know that Atari is going to go public on the NASDAQ, and I know that it will be very bad for you to have a scandal at this time, and I came to you tonight to discuss whether there is a way to resolve the dispute peacefully, anyway, I don't want to start a business with an untrustworthy guy like you anymore.

For a million dollars, sell me all your shares in Aurora Games, and license all three games to Atari in perpetuity, and I will not pursue this matter from now on. If you don't agree, I'm going to fund your competitors, anyway, there are several companies that make street game consoles, I don't lack the funds to buy the agency, and there is no shortage of publicity and sales channels, if I only sell two to three hundred dollars each, do you think Atari still has a market? Believe me, I don't like to suffer losses, even if I sell at a loss, I will fully block your Atari company, be a man, happiness is the most important, it doesn't matter if the money is not money, anyway, my money is too much to spend, there is no need to care......"
