Chapter 161: Thoroughfare
On the Zurich-London flight, Jonas and Milkan sat side by side, their eyes on the small screen in front of Milkan.
In the business class of this international flight, financial news from major TV stations around the world is broadcast simultaneously, and at this time, it is broadcast that in the first two months of this year, Dongying's investment outside the country has reached 6.7 billion US dollars.
Their investments are mainly concentrated in the energy industry, the electronics industry, shipping and ports.
In this, Mitsui & Co., Itochu & Co., and Marubeni, the three major Toei companies, played an active role.
After the news was played, Jonas turned off the TV and asked, "Do you have any thoughts on the economic development trend of Dongying?"
Milkan couldn't help but sigh: "The people of Dongying are so rich. ”
Jonas couldn't help but smile, then retracted his smile and said, "You're right, and so do I." So, why don't we target the rich Dongying people?"
Milkan smiled: "Jonas, I don't have any problem with this, I give you the money, it is my absolute trust in you." ”
Jonas said, "I need your help. ”
"I know, so when I got a call from you, I pushed down a film review and came to Switzerland, and now I'm going to London with you. ”
"I am very grateful in my heart, but it is not enough. ”
Milkan was a little puzzled, but still said enthusiastically: "I look forward to your arrangement." ”
Jonas shook his head and said, "No, we are allies. ”
Milkan then asked solemnly: "Isn't the purpose of you calling me here to help you control the London financial team?"
Jonas was a young man, Bennett of London and others, all of whom were geniuses or elites in financial investment.
It is very difficult to completely make them obedient, at least at this stage.
In order not to be fooled by them, not to be disobeyed by them, Jonas needs a partner who can hold his feet down.
It wasn't surprising that Milkan could guess Jonas's thoughts, so he received a call from Jonas and arrived in Switzerland without stopping.
At least for now, Jonas is his most valued partner, his savior.
Jonas glanced back at a middle-aged man sitting not far away, and when he saw Jonas's gaze, he smiled kindly.
This Mr. Schmidt was a trader brought by Milkan from the United States, and although he was not well known, his professional experience was still highly regarded by Milkan.
Jonas will not underestimate him because he is not famous, people like Soros, even if Jonas dares to use them, he can't control them.
Even if he lacks ability, it is perfectly fine to be an overseer and help Jonas take care of his money.
Jonas shook his head and said, "Not only that, but if today's meeting goes well, I'll tell you the whole plan in detail in the evening." ”
Milkan was a little curious, but his patience was good, and when he heard Jonas say this, he turned the conversation to the movie.
Finsbury Square, London.
The leasehold that originally belonged to Hoffman Investment Bank has now been transferred to Seaman Investments, but the investment team that remained at Hoffman Investment Bank remained based here until the futures contracts were delivered.
The arrival of Jonas means that the last of Yannick's assets will be transferred to him. At this point, Hoffman Investment Bank is no longer the original private equity fund, but has completely become a wholly-owned company.
The contracts made more than $20 million, and according to the rules of the trade, Jonas gave the highest fifteen percent of the rewards to the twelve-person team.
Bennett, as the leader of this group, received a reward of 1.4 million yuan alone.
This money is already a huge amount of money for an ordinary person, but for the financial market, it is not enough to even open a position with a warehouse receipt.
So Bennett doesn't have the idea of standing on his own at all now, and wants to rely on Hoffman Investment Bank for capital accumulation.
That evening, Jonas hosted a banquet at the hotel to entertain all the people who had worked for Hoffman's investment bank, and even now that they were separated, Jonas needed to preserve that relationship.
After dinner, he also chartered two large private rooms in the XOYO bar in the north of the financial city, and arranged nearly fifty beautiful women for them to relax.
However, he didn't go to the bar, but arranged for Bennett to help him entertain everyone.
As a new billionaire, Jonas has received media attention since his arrival in London, and if he appears in a bar, especially a coloured one, it is sure to be big news.
It was also for this reason that he just called Theresa and did not dare to go to her at all.
Theresa released two singles to test the waters at her dad's concert in December, the song "Dad, Don't Be Long-Winded" because of her dad's cooperation, and the interaction between father and daughter made many fans praise.
As a superstar who was popular from the sixties to the eighties, and all the way to the twenty-first century, Theresa's dad sacrificed his image and contributed a huge amount of energy to his daughter's debut.
As the daughter of a superstar, Teresa is young and beautiful, and she is elegant and has excellent singing skills, and she was welcomed as soon as she debuted.
In particular, the song "Dreams Made Possible" is one of the very few inspirational songs in today's rebellious era, and as soon as it was broadcast, it was loved by critics and fans.
At the end of December, "Dreams Made Possible" was released, and two weeks later, it was on the charts, and in the first week of February, it was at the top of the charts.
To this day, the song still holds the top spot on the charts, and the single has sold more than five million copies.
A newcomer, a new song, can break through the sales of five million copies in more than two months, this is not only a fire, but also a fire!
Theresa is now famous, and it's a fire, and neither Jonas nor she can see each other as freely as they used to.
Even if they meet, London, where paparazzi are prevalent, is not a suitable location.
Back at the hotel where he was staying, Milkan seemed ready, arranging for his men to make a pot of coffee for a long conversation with Jonas.
His appearance today played a very good role.
In Bennett's eyes, Jonas was a genius who had not yet shown his talent, and in Wolff's eyes, Jonas was a young man.
Although they now work for Hoffman's investment bank, they see it as a platform for development, rather than they really obey Jonas's leadership.
Although Jonas was still with Richie behind him, it was impossible for Richie to directly interfere in the operation of Hoffman's investment bank, especially now that Hoffman was completely independent.
Therefore, Richie can only be used as a nuclear weapon for deterrence, and the actual effect is not great.
But Milkan is different, the arms dealer is now a partner at Hoffman's investment bank, and has put $66 million into the bank.
On this basis, it is not too much for him to arrange a trader for the investment bank, and it is not offensive for him to intervene in the operation of the investment bank to a certain extent.
In particular, his identity is a great deterrent to ordinary people, an outlaw who wanders on the blade, and an international tycoon who wanders between black and white.
Such a man became a fan of Jonas, and anyone who wanted to betray Jonas had to consider the cost.
Betraying others may just be a temporary disappearance in the industry for a while, and it would be nice to be in the limelight in many countries. But now betraying Jonas would be in danger of his life, and who would betray it easily?
But Jonas's exploitation of Milkan is more than that, as he now faces a test.
Jonas wants to invest in the Dongying market, which is the biggest opportunity for the international financial community in the next few years, and he can't eat it all by himself.
So at this time, wouldn't it be the best of all three worlds to find more allies to join in and downplay his main role, so as to complete his entry test.
Why, then, did he convince the other partners to believe him, and why did he not lose his dominance?
In this regard, the presence of Milkan is also to be exploited.
"Uncle Arnold, now that my father's funds have been withdrawn, it's time for me to make the next move. ”
Milkan poured Jonas a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Jonas. "Is it related to Dongying?"
It wasn't a surprise that Milkan could have guessed Jonas as he had hinted at it many times today.
Jonas nodded and asked, "What do you think of Dongying's economic situation now?"
"The most dynamic economy in the world. ”
"And how long can they last?"
Milkan hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know much about these things, and I'm a layman when it comes to economics. Jonas, I believe in your talent and in your analysis of the situation in the world, so you just need to tell me what I should do and how to do it. ”
"I have decided to set up a number of companies, including an investment company and a real estate company in Dongying, to take advantage of the golden period of Dongying's economic development to play a game of chess. ”
"What does that require me to do?"
Jonas was slightly touched by Milkan's complete trust, but he didn't dare to be careless. Milkan's trust in him is based on trust in him and the fact that he once saved his life.
This kind of trust is not without a bottom line, and Jonas only needs to be wrong a few times to consume this trust.
Of course, if Jonas had been right, Milkan's trust in him would have grown stronger.
"The company I set up needs someone to help me keep an eye on it, whether it's financial investment or real estate investment, I need reliable people. But now I can use these people under my command, but I dare not trust them completely.
I'm in Europe, they're in Asia, and if they have a situation in the middle, I don't know about it at the first time, and it may cause a crisis. ”
"It's a small thing to me, but can you be sure you're going in the right direction?"
"Of course!"
