Chapter 346: Those who are close to me are rich
Consortium.
This term is not a positive word in the minds of the vast majority of people, who are seen as the evil interests of capitalism that control the lifeblood of the country.
One name after another, including the Rockefeller Consortium, the Morgan Consortium, and the Boston Consortium, has influenced all aspects of Western life in a way that is invisible to everyone.
In fact, in Han Chudong's eyes, they are just products of the high maturity of the financial market, and they do not carry natural justice or malice.
As an outsider, Han Chudong felt how closely connected they were, but after being at his current height, he was branded with the label of a California consortium, and then he was confused to find out that where the company was opened and which businessmen cooperated more, he would naturally become a member of a consortium in the eyes of others.
There are many situations in which some companies compete for interests, such as the general manager in Washington, who has not even sat on the stool*, has changed to the third place since Han Chudong started business, and it seems that there will be a change in the next general election, which represents the game of some power groups.
But from his position, the era of conglomerates in the early and mid-20th century is actually gone.
As the total wealth has increased, it has become a situation of separation, and he calls this phenomenon the "post-consortium era" when the consortium is declining, so although he is indeed working hard to make friends and continuously enhance his influence, Han Chudong does not have the idea of becoming a consortium of his own, anyway, the strength is there, and no one dares to offend him easily.
That's why.
It was because the CEO of Bank of America personally called him to invite him to the party, saying that famous businessmen in California would attend and wanted to take the opportunity to discuss something.
The party held in private was arranged in a villa in San Francisco, and when he learned that the dispute between donkeys and elephants was involved, Han Chudong suddenly lost interest, and only told that he was willing to help, but he would not show up at the party.
The other party didn't force it, it was enough to get the phrase "will help", after all, NBC TV has a great deal of power, and naturally everyone wants to win over Han Chudong.
He didn't have much interest in these open and secret battles, but unfortunately the wind on the top of the mountain was strong, and the situation was uncontrollable, and some things had to be mixed in, otherwise he might end up uncomfortable for five or even ten years, and he would have to face the risk of being targeted.
Shortly after returning from the other side of the Pacific, the jet lag has not reversed.
After being lazy and tired for two or three days, Han Chudong returned to his previous rhythm of life, went to the company every other day, only stayed for about four hours each time, and left after dealing with things, not wasting energy on some irrelevant trivial matters, and the secretary's office would notify him when he encountered a major event.
If you ask what life is like when you have so much wealth.
It can only be said that he can easily obtain any material comforts that people dream of, and the income of one hour may be more than the money that some people earn in a lifetime, and he can buy a lot of joy, but it does not mean that he can do everything.
For example, going in alone to visit the Louvre after closing, going to Washington to have tea with the owner of the oval office, or buying an island to live in by himself, and buying a company when he likes a certain car, etc., are all ordinary little things for Han Chudong.
Han Chudong did buy a car company that manufactures supercars, Lamborghini, which was a small gift he gave himself in the second half of last year, and is recently working with several research institutes, parts manufacturers, as well as General Motors Group and Chrysler Automobile Group to jointly develop new supercars, and in the near future he wants to buy a team to play by himself, and is negotiating with McLaren, just like buying part of the shares of the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees, which is both interest and business.
I don't like to keep cash, but I am also willing to issue bonds and loans, and invest it as soon as possible with a little money in hand, which can often bring more returns in the investment process.
The home game console exploded, the walkman exploded, and the tape and audio-visual player business cooperated with many film and television companies has also become a must-have electrical appliance for every household.
No way.
returned to a very good era, and the start was relatively smooth, so that after a few years passed, Han Chudong's worth skyrocketed, and now no one can compare, so the phrase "those who are close to me are rich" are written in the hall of Mason Private Equity Headquarters as a corporate slogan, and his name is still below.
It's right to be arrogant, but no one has the confidence to refute it, and it's even difficult to give a negative example of not making money after cooperating with Han Chudong.
——————————
He doesn't care about money at all.
Because of the successive successes of DreamWorks Film Studios, Zhou Nan and Zhao Dajun have become very famous big bosses in Hollywood, worth nearly 100 million US dollars.
Who would have thought that even when making movies, Han Chudong could be like an assembly line, launching popular good movies one after another, and the recently released "Resident Evil 2" broke through the $500 million mark at the global box office in just half a month.
On the fourth night of returning to Los Angeles, Zhou Nan did winter and invited Han Chudong and Zhao Dajun to dinner, the location was still a barbecue stall in Chinatown, and he directly chartered the venue and locked the door, and roasted a whole sheep.
The roast lamb is not yet ripe, so he drinks beer with peanuts.
Zhao Dajun, a first-time father, was wearing a white shirt, so hot that his back was full of sweat, and he looked much more stable.
Zhou Nan is a flip-flop with short sleeves, a gold chain around his neck, and a gold-encrusted Rolex on his wrist, as if he is afraid that others will not come to rob him.
said that the two of them have money, and they do have a lot of book wealth, but since the creation of DreamWorks Film Studios, they have always invested with profits, and the extra money has been used to buy shares of Disney and Warner Bros., and they have never paid dividends.
If it weren't for the fact that the relationship was really good, the two of them would have complained a long time ago, and now they are still making money from the toy business, and they each took out loans to buy a house in Beverly Hills.
At this time, Han Chudong smiled: "You still know what I like to eat, just about to say that you want to come and eat barbecue, you will meet here." ”
"I bought my own sheep, so that people from beginning to end staring at the boss is not allowed to change, in the past I was always worried about using old meat, sick mutton to be charged, today do not have to be afraid, but the environment is a little poor. The boss is probably worried about the impact on business during the renovation period, and even the wall is not repainted. Zhou Nan said.
The three of them met from time to time, and their relationship did not change at all, but Zhao Dajun had a family and Zhou Nan continued to wave, and there were still some changes between them.
Zhao Dajun drank a glass of beer and asked, "You went over there, right, I saw the news, how do you feel?"
Han Chudong nodded: "Very good, it seems that private business is about to be allowed, and the funds from outside should also be able to enter, when the time comes, there will be such a big market, and there will be opportunities to make money, anyway, I will definitely go back to invest......"
