Chapter 188: Endorsement

Twenty years ago, with the help of the '64 Olympics and the '66 World Expo, Dongying showed the world the image of a country recovering from the shadow of defeat.

It was also from that time that Dongying maintained a high economic growth rate of more than 10% per year, transforming from a small agricultural economy to the world's largest exporter of steel and automobiles in just two decades.

Benefiting from the benefits of economic development, Tokyo has also entered a period of stable and prosperous development.

The population of the Tokyo metropolitan area has increased from 15 million in the 60s to more than 30 million today.

All walks of life are developing rapidly, but the fastest growing industry is still the real estate industry.

Today, Dongying has nearly 10 billion US dollars of capital entering the real estate market in the six major metropolitan areas every year, and of course, their domestic capital far exceeds this figure.

In 84 years, real estate was relatively stable, and in the late 80s, even the famous Toyota, Sony and other famous companies with large profits also entered this market.

Although Hoffman Investment Bank has prepared $2.3 billion, which seems to be a lot, it is relatively dispersed, and these funds are not all invested in this market at one time.

So everyone knows that this company is very strong, but they don't think that they can have much impact on the real estate market in Tokyo.

$2.3 billion is just the value of a few buildings.

In addition to hundreds of millions of dollars to be invested in the financial market, the rest of the funds will be invested in all aspects of the real estate industry except for the development and start-up projects through different companies.

For example, setting up a property sales company to underwrite the sale of a newly built house.

Five or six years was enough time for Jonas and them to make a lot of money in the middle.

Moreover, this aspect of affairs does not need to be bothered by the real core figures, and naturally there are Dongying people themselves to help Jonas and them make money.

Another example is the direct establishment of a housing leasing company, the purchase of a newly built building, the furniture of the new house, and the rental.

Of course, these lease agreements are only signed for a maximum of three years, with a maximum of two pending contracts.

Although the heyday of real estate was 91 years, in 90 years, it was even necessary to withdraw from this market early.

Hoffman's investment bank is strong, with more than $2 billion in its own capital. There are a number of partner banks, and we can also provide credit loans of hundreds of billions of yen.

In particular, Hoffman Investment Bank has used its own financial advantages to directly enter most of the real estate industry, which makes everyone think that this is a large company with strong strength and long-term development in Dongying.

Through Adici's talent pool, Jonas recruited more than 30 middle managers, and through these more than 30 managers, they recruited more than 500 sales personnel and 200 administrative staff.

These people are distributed in more than 20 companies, in fact, there are only two companies with more than 200 employees, and the rest are shell companies with less than 10 employees.

In the three months since entering the Dongying market, the company has not expanded aggressively, except for the purchase of more than 20 office locations.

The asset management department, headed by Wolfe, is still actively negotiating financing with major real estate companies, taking advantage of capital to directly enter the sales process.

The current Hoffman investment bank, no matter how you look at it, is not like a speculator, but really wants to do real estate sales as a career.

On the contrary, the financial investment department led by Bennett has consumed all the 40 billion yen in its hands since entering the Toei stock market.

Today's Nikkei is only about 12,000 points, and in 90, the Nikkei was more than 39,000 points.

Whether it is real estate or the stock market, the value has increased by more than 200 percent.

Moreover, this is not a big up-and-down, but a steady rise.

In other words, investing in most stocks, as long as you don't encounter ghosts, you can make stable profits.

Of course, if that's all it takes, it doesn't show how good Bennett is.

He invested most of the company's funds in Dongying government bonds, as well as real estate-related building materials, steel and other industries, and the stock appreciated more than the broader market.

On the contrary, his best point of interest is forward forex trading, which is still on hold.

Jonas only gave him less than $200 million, or 50 billion yen, and gave him the time point next September, so he is now trying his best to save money in the stock market to prepare for next year.

In today's foreign exchange market, speculators often use forward transactions to make profits, so many countries have certain restrictive measures on forward transactions.

Most forward transactions have a delivery period of 1 month, 3 months, or 6 months. Only in rare cases can a one-year forward contract be issued, and it will also be of great concern to the government.

So, Bennett didn't startle the snake and waited for the time to come.

After Jonas arrived in Dongying, he only paid a little attention to the reserve and use of funds, and stopped caring about the company's affairs.

He doesn't have any title in these companies, and most people don't know his identity except for middle and above managers.

Most Dongying people still think that Hannah, who is dressed as a noblewoman, is the big boss behind the scenes.

There is a real difference of decades between Dongying and Huaxia today, and the prosperity of the East here makes everyone feel that the trip is worthwhile.

In particular, Raken and Giovanne, after seeing the most lively nightclubs in Tokyo, were a little overwhelmed.

In addition to the lively nightclubs, the suppleness of the girls here can make any man full of male pride.

Of course, first you have to have money.

Hannah also likes this place, she likes the ancient city full of oriental charm, ancient buildings, and all kinds of special goods.

Jonas also accompanied her on a tour of Mt. Fuji and a few days in the ancient capital of Kyoto, where she visited the old city and imperial palace.

After returning to Tokyo, the time for them to separate also came.

With the exception of Jonas and Laken, and two bodyguards who are going to Los Angeles, everyone else will return directly to Switzerland.

Although a few little ones also want to follow to Los Angeles and go to the Olympics. But it was precisely because of the Olympics that Hannah flatly rejected their request.

The Games were the first profitable Games in history, but they were held in a difficult way.

At the last Olympics, 61 countries refused to participate because of the Soviet Union's march into Afghanistan.

The Soviet Union also boycotted participation in the Games, but only 14 countries did not.

At times like this, Hannah will not be reassured that they will pass.

Jonas sent Hannah off first, and on his last night in Tokyo, he was taken by a group of subordinates to a famous nightclub in Ginza 2-chome.

What's funny is that because he has been following Neuer by his side, a group of Dongying subordinates think that his habits are a little abnormal, and they specially arranged two underage girls for him.

Although he is very excited, he is afraid of 404!

What's more, in Tokyo in this era, there are still some big beauties, and he also wants to prove that he is not Lolicon!

However, until he left, he did not have this opportunity.

At the airport the next day, when he left, Jonas made a point of explaining to Wolfe. "Uncle Wolfe, I trust Bennett's abilities very much, but he is young and impulsive, so in terms of financial control, any expenses that are beyond the plan must be reported to me immediately. ”

"I understand that no one can influence our plans. ”

Bennett is Hoffman's sharpest knife right now, but this knife can not only hurt others, but also hurt himself.

In later generations, Jonas had never heard Bennett's name at all, and this was the biggest concern.

According to Bennett's investment record, he is indeed an investment genius, but there is too much uncontrollability.

This is the biggest reason why Fedward refused to use him.

Although Jonas is willing to use him now, he is still worried.

However, if Rogers is negotiated and Rogers enters Hoffman Investment Bank, there is no need to worry about this.

The plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport, and as soon as it exited customs, Akito's Nicole jumped into Jonas's arms like a fawn.

Although, she is a giraffe......

Today's Nicole is also a well-known actor, and the few movies she has released have all achieved box office explosions.

In her previous life, she was famous, more because of her beauty, and later because of the hype of the successful actress.

But at the box office, the films she starred in had the lowest rate of return, which also earned her the title of box office poison.

I have to say that her vision for picking films is too poor.

After a kiss with Jonas, she greeted Naira again. "Naira, welcome to Los Angeles. I've already booked the room for you, right next door to my room. Now at the Olympics, there are almost no empty rooms in all of Los Angeles. ”

Last year, they went on vacation together, and although she and Naira were not close friends, they got along quite well.

Naira said with a smile: "I came to Los Angeles this time, in addition to accompanying Laken to learn about the situation in Hollywood, I have good news to tell you. ”

Nicole's heart moved, and the eyes that looked at Naira became more intimate. "Your arrival is good news for me. ”

Naira deliberately teased her and said, "In this way, I can save 300,000 dollars in endorsement fees." ”

Nicole pretended to be surprised, covered her mouth and said, "Oh my God, $300,000? Is it endorsement money?"

Naira smiled: "Jonas has agreed to be the global spokesperson of the Swatch Group, and you will be the spokesperson of our Swatch watches." If you don't have an opinion, we'll sign up in September, and you'll shoot the ad with Jonas. ”

The Swatch Group now has nearly 20 brands, including luxury brands such as Blancpain, Breguet and Omega, second-rate brands such as Longines and Tissot, and then the main Swatch brand as a younger brand.

Nicole is seventeen years old this year, and it is very suitable to represent the Swatch brand.

"What a surprise!" Nicole hugged her, turned to Jonas and said, "I'm going to have a treat tonight, and you must not argue with me." ”

(Originally, I wanted to write about meeting a few people in Huaxia and laying the foundation for establishing an automobile factory in the future, but after thinking about it, I still didn't write it.) Some of the plots in Dongying will not be written for the time being, and they will be rewritten in the future. These two chapters are not well written because of cringe, and I will avoid such a situation later. )
