Chapter 249: The Heir

Welcome, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is an honour to all of us at Hoffmann. ”

"Welcome, Your Excellency, and I hope that Hoffmann Investment Bank will be a trusted partner of your country. ”

"Welcome, Lord Nazar, and I hope that the rebellion in your country will stop in time. ”

At the entrance of the music center's building, there is only a simple banner. "Congratulations on the success of the first partner meeting of Hoffmann Investment Bank. ”

Instead of standing at the door, Jonas welcomed every important member who came to the meeting at the door of the main venue.

Behind him was Ursula and three assistants, while Rogers was in charge of greeting the breakout, and behind him, three assistants were also followed to help him remind the guests which one it was.

From eight o'clock in the morning to nine o'clock, when all the guests were ushered into the concert hall, Jonas entered the venue, accompanied by Ursula.

The Lucerne Festival is one of the three largest classical music festivals in the world, and this venue is also very modern, with a five-storey auditorium where you can clearly see the performances on stage, and you don't need a sound to hear the music on stage.

Of course, today is not a concert, every hi-fi is connected, and dozens of TVs in the stadium can clearly see every action on the stage of the main venue.

During Jonas's preparations, Teresa sang the song "Dreams Made Possible" on stage as a guest performer.

This positive song will also be officially identified as the corporate anthem of Hoffmann Investment Bank during this conference.

Theresa was not paid for the show this time, she originally wanted to make Jonas pay his debts, but Jonas was very tightly supervised and had no chance at all.

After the performance, she came backstage, still a little angry.

In the main hall, Ursula stepped up to the podium, and Jonas sat in the first row, surrounded by key members of Hoffman's investment bank.

As for the guests, they all sat in the audience.

On the first day of the meeting, the members of Hoffman Investment Bank made financial reports, and reported and introduced the past year's achievements and dividends to all partners from several aspects such as investment type, investment perspective, investment philosophy, and capital control.

On the second day of the meeting, Hoffman Investment Bank will explain to everyone the important investment plans for next year, and everyone is welcome to invest.

The main meeting lasted for two days, but three hotels were all booked by Jonas for a week.

This is the practice of interest groups, mainly to provide an opportunity for partners from all over the world to communicate, and many investment plans and businesses are negotiated on such occasions.

Moreover, many of the allocations, including financial statements to the various partners, need to be reviewed by both parties.

Jonas originally wanted to spend a week, the first day to summarize the past, then settle accounts, give money, talk about business, and the last day to make plans for next year.

But there are many important members who do not have time and cannot stay here for a week.

Like that Mengistu, they are still fighting vigorously in the war.

The father of Isabella, a classmate of Jonas, also came, and as the president of a country, he could not stay here for a week, and he would return home tomorrow at the latest.

So talk about things in the first two days, and let the people below settle the accounts later, whether it is giving money or receiving money, you can calculate it slowly.

Ursula is the moderator of the meeting, and at the same time, she is also the most familiar to everyone, and no one is more suitable than her.

After she announced the opening of the Partners' Conference, Jonas took the stage to give a report on last year's work.

In order to take the stage this time, he specially invited etiquette experts to train when he was in China.

Many people, because of nervousness, will become short of breath after the speech after taking the stage, reading the work report is boring, and then reading it is as dull as water, many people will not be able to sit still.

There is no need to speak with emotion, but on stage, the speech must be subdued and frustrated to give the partner enough confidence.

Last year's investment was mainly divided into three locations, one in Dongying, one in Austria, and the other in the automotive industry.

Jonas began by reporting on the reasons for investing in Austria and the details of how he made a profit in the investment.

The total profit of Hoffmann Investment Bank in Austria is nearly 2.8 billion US dollars, and there are more than 30 automobile companies with a total value of 600 million yuan in shares remaining on the Austrian stock market.

The paper profit of investing in Dongying is even more impressive, exceeding $4 billion.

However, most of these profits will not be withdrawn by most partners, and even if they want to use funds, they will turn around from other places, and they are reluctant to give up this very good investment opportunity after the Plaza Agreement.

You know, there are many people who want to enter the Dongying market now, but they don't have the opportunity.

Without a suitable channel, if you enter the Dongying market single-handedly, I am afraid that you will not be able to become a dragon, but only a worm.

You must know that Dongying talents are the richest group now.

More than a dozen of the partners who came today are Dongying people, and they have invested at least nearly a quarter of their funds in Jonas's Hoffman Investment Bank.

In this era, Dongying people can really "buy the world".

The main part of Jonas's report is to explain the significance of investing in the automotive industry.

Why should investment banks invest in the automobile industry? How to rely on this industry for long-term and stable development and obtain long-term stable returns.

If the partners disapprove of Jonas's plan to ban their own money from investing in the auto industry, Jonas will run into a dilemma.

According to his plan, he relied on his own funds to disrupt the market. If you don't have money, or it's not too much, it's scary, and if you want to rush into the automotive industry, any big factory can snipe him.

For example, Volkswagen, they have a type of car with billions of assets, will they be afraid of Jonas, who actually has only a billion assets?

As long as they produce any models on Jonas's side, they are a little cheaper than Jonas's models, and sell products in a targeted manner, even if Jonas makes a car, I am afraid that it will collapse in three or two years because the product is unsalable.

So, he has to use other people's money to form a deterrent.

This is the first time Jonas has made much of his investment story public, and the need for Hoffman to invest in the auto industry is also very important to him.

However, although some people do not think it is necessary to enter an unfamiliar industry, most people still approve of it.

In particular, in the final stages, Jonas reported that he had bought Rolls-Royce and Bentley. Then this year's dividends, each family has to deduct a little car money, as a support for him, almost everyone laughed.

He helped his partners earn at least hundreds of thousands, and invested more than millions, tens of millions. Less than 100,000 dividends are deducted, which is nothing at all, but it seems that he is thinking about the future of the automobile factory.

Moreover, Jonas also said that in the future, Rolls-Royce and Bentley will belong to each partner as an industry belonging to Hoffman Investment Bank.

These are the only two luxury brands in the world, and everyone should support their own brand.

He will conduct a survey this year, and all partners except for the partners of government officials will have to change to Rolls-Royce and Bentley in the future.

And he also promised that he would continue to make Bentley the top of the spectrum of enjoyment that no other car can match.

Although Jonas may seem unreasonable, he is young, and this method emphasizes wholeness, which makes these partners very useful.

Pincasgreen and Macridge were sitting at the top of the fifth floor, and when they heard Jonas say this, they couldn't help but laugh: "Jonas said this, thinking that it is a crime to feel like riding in a car of another brand." ”

Macridge nodded. "It's true that a car of our own brand, or the best car in the world, needs to be qualified before it can be sold to you, and it is indeed a good carrier of emotional connection. ”

"Carrier ......," Pincasgreen said after a moment of silence, "and when you say that, I also think that Rolls-Royce and Bentley have gone beyond the category of cars. ”

Richie pointed at Jonas with his cigar and smiled, "This little guy is very smart and shrewd, we don't have to worry about having no successor." ”

"But he's kept his distance from us," Green said. ”

Macridge laughed: "He has a better foundation than us, and he doesn't need to go the wrong way like us." Don't you realize that he has been trying to get closer to the governments?"

Mark Davis, who was next to Green, laughed: "He's whiter than us, and that's a good thing." ”

Richie nodded. "He's the same kind of person as us, there's no doubt about it. We need someone cleaner than we are, to lead us to transformation.

In the past, although we created this network of interests, we have not been able to really control this network. Because many of the members simply look down on us, but they now recognize Jonas.

We've never had so many dignitaries of government, heads of state, like today, right?"

Whether it is the Rich Group or the Hoffman Investment Bank, which was originally based in Yannick, it is like a toilet.

When needed, the members came in with their noses pinched, but ashamed.

Every time a general meeting of partners is held, some position-sensitive people do not show up at all.

It's good that Jonas doesn't have much contact with them. Because of the members, they recognized Jonas as an innocent man who could help them make money.

The main reason why this partner meeting was popular was because Jonas made money innocently, and everyone could come to receive the money openly.

Jonas is like Steinhardt on Wall Street and is liked by most of the members.

But Steinhardt doesn't like management, doesn't get involved in politics, distances himself from anyone, and has no interest in real investment.

Jonas is different, he seems to have been slowly coalescing everyone's interests and forming a centripetal force.

Green said with some regret: "So, in the future, we still need to find another heir for the oil and mineral business?"

Richie smiled: "Don't worry, we can do it for many years anyway!"
