Chapter 141: Heavy Snow (Subscription Requested)
When I woke up early in the morning, the radio and TV were broadcasting the news of widespread snowfall in Switzerland, the closure of some primary and secondary schools, and the holiday of many companies.
Outside the window, the snow on the lawn had accumulated half a meter thick, and only the road had been cleared.
The various trees are pressed with a thick layer of white snow and turned into an ice-cream-like shape.
Patches of woods have been turned into rime, and the beauty is like a fairy tale.
But what's even more beautiful is the strange-shaped trees, which are frozen in ice and snow, and the strange shapes can make people never get tired of looking at them.
Nowadays, most roads in Switzerland do not have automatic heating, and many roads will be blocked if such a large amount of snow is not cleared.
It was difficult to exercise in such weather, so Jonas followed Plov and they simply shoveled snow instead of exercising, and everyone wore only sweaters, but they were still tired and sweaty.
Crossing into a white man, Jonas also felt that his ability to protect himself from the cold was indeed stronger than in the past, and he did not have to wrap himself in a thick down jacket in this weather of minus seven or eight degrees.
But he is still inferior to Prov and Balm, when Plov, an old hairy man, dares to drill naked in the snowdrift as long as he drinks a little wine.
As for Balm, she lives in an extremely cold environment of minus 40 degrees all year round, minus seven or eight degrees, which is only normal temperature weather for her.
Of course, these people have a strong ability to withstand the cold, but they can't stand the high temperature, and when the temperature reaches 30 degrees, they all feel out of breath.
In particular, they have well-developed sweat glands, and when the temperature is high, the smell on their bodies can stink to death.
Ninety percent of white people have two sweat glands, so they're used to taking a shower every morning and spraying deodorant on their bodies to freshen up the whole day.
Europeans are used to using deodorants, but Americans are used to using solid deodorant wax, and the principle is the same.
Jonas found out that he was the 10 percent, which saved him from having to spray deodorant every day.
And he is not covered in hair like ordinary white people, except for a little hair on his chest, and the hair on his limbs is not vigorous.
This is also a reason why he is particularly popular with girls, you know, don't talk about men, that is, white women, if you don't take off your hair, when you take off your clothes, you will also look like an orangutan.
In the past, every time he worked, Jonas didn't talk much, Plov and Kalisler were stuffy gourds, and Shah, the handyman, rarely spoke, often no one spoke for half a day.
But now there is one more Yang Zede, and it is much more lively.
This guy is just a chatterbox, and he can't keep his mouth shut for three minutes.
Early in the morning he spoke from the two horses of Jonas to the lynx that lived in the woods, and from the Swiss woman
The difference between the French woman, complained came to Switzerland, he could only be a monk.
Fortunately, only Plov and Jonas could speak English, Shah and Morsa could only speak German, and Kalisler could speak a little English, but it was not enough to have a good conversation with him.
He had been in Switzerland for a few days, probably suffocated, but when Jonas returned, he found that he had a lot to say.
Jonas usually communicates with him in Chinese, which also keeps others from questioning Jonas' Chinese skills.
Shah drives a 30-year-old tractor, and at the front of the tractor is a sloping shovel that is used to clear snow from the road.
Jonas and Jonzede took shovels and shoveled snow behind the car, and Plov and they took brooms and swept away the remnants.
At half-past eight, Wolf came on his skis. Heavy snow closed the road, and his family lived in the mountains, and it was all the way downhill to Megan.
He came from home and skied a little faster.
It's just that I'm used to seeing him in a suit and leather shoes, and all of a sudden I see him wearing a ski suit, a backpack, and sunglasses, and I almost think of him as a terrorist.
When Wolf came, Jonas said to Jonzede, "Just clear the road to the railway culvert, and I'll make you a big meal in the evening." ”
Yang Zede complained: "Boss, I came to Switzerland to be a bodyguard, not a cleaner." ”
Jonas asked, "Who would pay you such a high salary for a cleaner?"
"Well, you're the boss. ”
Back in the warm room, Jonas added a few more pieces of dried pine to the fireplace and made himself a cup of tea. "Uncle Wolfe, do you want tea or coffee?"
Wolf took off his gear and boots and replaced them with a pair of slippers. "Bring me a hot cup of coffee. ”
Jonas walked over to the bar and said, "I've got a small table in front of the fireplace, and we can sit and talk." ”
Wolf nodded, sat down on a chair in front of the fireplace, and opened it.
When Jonas returned, he had already arranged several stacks of materials in separate categories, filling the entire small table, and Jonas had moved another coffee table and placed it next to the small table.
Molsa made breakfast, and Jonas took two loaves of bread and sandwiched two large slices of fried beef and vegetables and returned to the fireplace.
"I had breakfast. ”
"Then I'll take care of it all by myself. Jonas sat down in his chair and said, "Tell me first, I'll fill my stomach first." ”
Sitting in front of the warm fireplace, Wolf felt a little hot and took off his coat. "When your father set up Hoffman Investment Bank, I participated in the whole process, so I am very clear about the ownership of some rights and interests in the investment bank.
There aren't many equity disputes here, and the entire structure of the investment bank was built by your father
However, there is a lot of ownership of rights and interests that are difficult to determine. In other words, you need to negotiate with all walks of life in order to strive for more benefits. ”
Under Wolff's introduction, Jonas also really learned about the wealth left by Yannick, and it was really difficult to sort it out.
It can even be said that there are quite a few assets that are simply difficult to cash out now.
In the case of investing in 26 percent of News Corp.'s shares, this account is a confused account, and the ownership of the equity in it is almost unclear.
First, the investment was actually a share swap, and Murdoch paid almost nothing to get a stake in Fox at the cost of a 26 percent stake in News Corp.
Secondly, in order to get rid of the relationship with Mark Rich, the investment bank took a sum of money to pay Rich, but Rich has only received $130 million in funds so far.
The rest of the funds are not needed by Richie now, and he is still operating in the investment bank.
But in response to the audit of the Armenian Ministry of Commerce, on the surface, Rich has already gotten the money.
These shares have nothing to do with Rich on paper, and the shareholders are other partners, or Hoffman Investment Bank.
Now there is a problem, Hoffman Investment Bank is financed by partners, and Yannick himself has invested some of it.
In order to hide Richie's funds, many of them did not determine their shareholdings, and there were more than 50 companies cross-owned.
So, how much of this belongs to Yannick personally, and which belongs to other partners, if you don't cancel those companies one by one, you can't tell at all.
However, the company cannot be deregistered, because the accounts of these companies are not the only investment, many companies involve dozens of investments, and there are dozens of partners.
It's really a one-shot move on the whole body......
Jonas listened for half an hour, and the more he listened, the more confused he became. There are dozens of companies behind each fund, and then these companies involve dozens of other investments, and everyone's assets have become an insignificant trace in them, how to calculate the value?
Not to mention Jonas, even Wolfe, an asset management expert, has been able to do things at times.
This is not to say that Yannick is better than Wolff, but because there is a question of dominance.
Yannick was in charge of all this, and he designed the accounts so intricate that they could effectively hide sensitive funds.
And with his prestige, he can also intimidate the other partners and make everything go according to his instructions.
At this time, even if some partners suffer losses in one area, they can make up for it in other aspects, and no one dares to question Yannick's arrangement.
But now that he is gone, he lacks a respected leader
, then the partners naturally have to be careful.
At such a time, Wolf had no way to start.
Hearing this, Jonas knew that this was not something he could do by himself. He thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute, I'll make a call." ”
The call was made to Villa Rosa, two kilometers away, and Jonas was able to get on the phone with Richie.
Jonas told Richie about these questions, and Richie on the other end of the line, apparently already aware of them, told him, "Bring Wolf to my house." ”
Jonas asked, "Do you still have flour at home?"
"Of course. ”
Jonas smiled: "Then I will make lo mein at noon and eat it, and I will be hungry too." ”
Richie laughed.
Wolf watched Jonas hang up the phone and smiled and asked, "You want Richie to help you solve this problem?"
Jonas nodded and asked, "Uncle Wolf, what do you think now, do you want to work for the Energy Group, or do you want to continue working for our Hoffman Bank?"
Wolf is an important talent, his ability has been noticed by a lot of people, and Jonas has no confidence to keep him.
However, Wolf's answer was very satisfying to Jonas. "Hoffmann Bank has an ideal working environment, and the energy group may be able to make more money, but I don't want to get bogged down in a complicated personnel struggle. ”
Jonas smiled, "I won't let you down, I already have a plan for your future work." Although it is just a shell investment bank, at least here, you can make your own decisions. ”
Wolf understood what Jonas meant, and laughed. "I don't think it's a shell company, I'm sure there's going to be a lot of money that can only be rolled over in the investment bank. ”
Wolf was well aware of the investment bank's accounts, and naturally knew that it was better to continue to operate with some assets withdrawn.
And it is impossible for the Hoffman family to withdraw all their funds and sever ties with interest groups, which will make it difficult to join in the future.
And to operate these funds, he is naturally the most suitable. Here, no one but Jonas will hold him in check.
