Chapter 231: Fake News
Since the beginning of this year, the harvest has been unexpected, and Han Chudong is very Buddhist.
I think that even if the other three brands of soft mask products are launched, they will not lose too badly by virtue of the opportunities they have seized during this time.
There are also layouts in other places, such as Mango Toys, Baofeng Electric, Aurora Games, shares in two luxury companies, Intel shares, and Mason Trust, which has just opened on Wall Street, etc., which have both cash and long-term potential.
Therefore, although those rating agencies are optimistic about the long-term development, Han Chudong did not take it to heart, and according to the plan in April and May, he will invest in some high-quality assets when he has the opportunity to make steady progress.
While trying to earn money, I will occasionally remind myself that it is impossible for money to be earned by one person, and there are still more than 20 years before the 21st century, so there is no need to have any sense of urgency and start enjoying life.
For example, set aside a set time each day to work and use the rest of the time to make plans, such as going to the movies, going to the opera, going to parties, traveling, etc.
Recently, the construction of a house can be regarded as a part of enjoying life, and Han Chudong pays more attention to the manor under design.
Infinity pools, fountains in front of the door, gardens, flower houses, wine cellars, oversized garages, tarmacs, etc., plus golf clubs, the project budget can be as high as $40 million to $60 million, and the total cost will be more than the total market capitalization of most NYSE-listed companies, including the price of land.
On the afternoon of the 14th.
Han Chudong received a call from Helena, saying that the graduation ceremony had ended and that he was going to vacation to the Bahamas with his parents for a week.
Make an appointment to meet again when you are free, it seems like a semi-romantic relationship.
Arthur's assistant avoided it, and at this moment he re-entered Han Chudong's office, took the document and said: "This is the development plan for the third quarter of Baofeng Electric, Mr. Joe Austin hopes that you can seriously consider the acquisition of those companies, which can reduce the development time of nearly a quarter, and expand the business to the east coast." ”
"Did you see Joe?
"I should be able to come back to work in a few days, but in fact he also passed on to his son, or maybe his son to Joe, and brought him to the company. Assistant Arthur put the folder in front of Han Chudong and added: "Don't worry, it has been sterilized." ”
"It doesn't matter, I've had it when I'm old, and it won't infect me again. ”
The reason why Han Chudong paid attention to the CEO of Baofeng Electric, Mr. Joe Austin, had chickenpox was because six employees in the company had been recruited one after another recently, and they all went home on paid leave, which is said to be because the elevator space is small and they are infected with each other.
As a result, all employees who have not been infected with chickenpox have recently avoided close contact with others, which has caused panic for a while, and has attracted more attention than the "flea incident" that happened upstairs.
The so-called "flea incident" refers to the fact that in February this year, employees of other companies upstairs retrieved a stray cat, which later caused the source of flea transmission, and nearly half of the employees were infected with fleas one after another because of petting it.
At that time, an elevator was also set aside for their company's employees to enjoy separately to avoid contact with other company employees.
Counting the influenza outbreak in April, this is already the third large-scale "sensational" event.
There are always more than 2,000 people working in this office building, and there are more than 700 people under Han Chudong's hands who are stationed in the company, renting a full three floors of office buildings, which still seems crowded.
When there are too many people, it is easy to have all kinds of troubles, and it is inevitable that it will appear chaotic.
Han Chudong had the idea of buying an office building by himself, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was too much of a loss to spend so much liquidity temporarily, so he made do with it for the time being, and planned to wait for next year or the year after that.
After carefully reading this plan, there are not only its own expansion plans, the site selection work has been completed, but also the plan to acquire the same type of home appliance chain company, including the estimated price and number of employees, turnover, the location of each store, etc., have been investigated.
After browsing, he told Assistant Arthur: "Inform Joe Austin, just say that there is no need to buy for the time being, the scale is not satisfactory to me, let's build an East Coast branch by ourselves, you let him start planning, first take the largest number of people, mainly the north-central East Coast urban agglomeration." ”
"Okay boss, the Wall Street fund company will call you around half past three, I set aside half an hour, and then I want to meet with the interns from the famous schools who have just joined the company, and the registration rate is as high as 80 percent. ”
By the enrollment rate, Arthur refers to the ratio of the number of offers to the number of new employees who actually come for the internship.
When recruiting on campus, students will not be stupid enough to only apply for one company, many people can get several "admission tickets", and the registration rate has become one of the criteria to measure the attractiveness of a company's talents.
"Okay, by the way, do you remember to spread the news that I am going to change to a new headquarters, saying that I am looking for a high-end business building and am going to buy a separate building for my company. ”
Arthur's assistant said, "I just rented a house nearby, where are you going to move the new company?"
"It's fake news, so as not to make the interns feel that the company is too crowded, and it's always good to have hope, and I don't plan to change anytime soon, at least not until the rent is due. Han Chudong said happily.
He also wanted to rent another office floor, but the entire building was already occupied.
With the arrival of a large group of interns, the space is really a bit cramped, and recently I have begun to consider relocating the entire office of Baofeng Electric or Mango Toy Company to the vicinity.
Suddenly, Assistant Arthur made an OK gesture to indicate that he had understood.
……
At half past three in the afternoon, the phone rang on time.
After Han Chudong picked up the earpiece, he asked, "Hey, it's time to get off work on the East Coast, what's the matter?"
The continental U.S. is divided into several time zones, and the time on the East Coast is different from the West Coast, and the working hours are also different.
"I'm still a little bit busy, and today I got a big client, the American Teachers Retirement Fund, and they invested eight million dollars! So I've been busy until now, and I'm going to meet with people from New York Life Insurance Company tomorrow, and I just want to tell you that I should be able to raise $100 million soon. ”
After listening to it, I immediately guessed that this was an invitation to myself.
The director of Mason Private Equity is named Samberg, and Han Chudong bought a private equity fund company with complete qualifications from him, bought all the shares, and hired the other party as the director.
In Han Chudong's view, this should be the easiest job under his hands, because there is no need to consider short-term profit and loss, long-term planning, etc., as long as the other party buys shares according to his own ideas, and then keeps holding them.
"That's really good news, how is the opening of the position going?" I may invest another amount of money, about $20 million, in the near future, and spread it out like other clients' funds to buy the shares of those five companies. ”
Without the acquisition of Dior, YSL's valuation is not high, resulting in the company's cash flow has been relatively abundant recently, Han Chudong restrained his desire to invest everywhere, and was ready to buy some book assets that were easy to realize and appreciate.
If you make too much money in a short period of time, it is easy to become a bird.
It's hard to imagine that he would worry about earning too much......
