Chapter 166: Three Birds with One Stone
The general manager of Down Capital is Scott Swift, but he is only a nominal general manager and has no real power, and everything must be done according to Don's orders.
"Scott, how much of Apple's stock has been eaten?"
Tang En wants to play a big game of chess, and there are intricate vertical and horizontal relationships between each of the power layouts.
For example, Apple's chairman and CEO is Jobs, and the chairman and CEO of Pixar Animation are also Jobs!
Scott Swift said: "2.8 million shares. ”
Don said in a displeased tone, "So little?"
Scott Swift hurriedly explained, "Don, Apple's stock price is falling every day, and the more you eat in the early days, the more you spend." Moreover, we have to follow the trend of the market, if a large number of stocks are eaten in a short period of time, once the stock price rises, it is not in our interests. ”
On the other end of the phone, Don En was stunned.
Scott is Donn's trader and the general manager of Down Capital, and on the premise of following Donn's orders to complete the work, he must ensure the interests of Don Capital.
In this respect, Scott did the right thing, with a clear mind and a clear means.
However, this is not in line with Tang's layout, and the current interests are simply insignificant compared to the long-term strategic layout.
"It's not okay to hold back like this, we always have to give some explanation to Wall Street, and our target is Apple. Scott, give me the maximum amount of stocks, and I want to let the name of Down Capital spread all over Wall Street!"
Don's courage and decisiveness were once again on display.
The reason why Wall Street washed the floor for Donn for the platform was to reach a secret agreement. Donn agreed to invest a large portion of his money in the stock market into the high-tech market to give investors confidence.
More than half a month has passed, and Don's public relations crisis has passed safely, and under the propaganda of several forces, he even has a lot of nicknames - ghost director, perfect youth, goddess killer, king of Hollywood, wolf of Wall Street, and new generation of stock gods.
The turmoil of Disney and Fox's suppression has passed, and Donn will definitely repay the favor one by one when he returns from Cannes.
Now, Apple and Pixar have a dark connection, and Don is certainly willing to go with the flow. On the one hand, it acquired Apple shares, which have unlimited possibilities for appreciation, on the one hand, it has built a relationship with Pixar, and on the other hand, it can fulfill its agreement with Wall Street.
Kill three birds with one stone, why not?
Scott Swift had long been accustomed to Donn's words, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away." By the way, the company has now received more than 100 applications for financing, you see?"
"Financing application?" Tang En was slightly stunned, "Are they all high-tech and Internet companies?"
Long before going to Cannes, Don Capital made a bold statement that it would continue to increase its holdings in the NASDAQ, continue to uphold confidence in the high-tech industry, and would support a number of excellent Internet companies in the future.
Unexpectedly, only half a month later, Tangen Capital received more than 100 financing applications.
"That's right. I'm sorry, Donn, but I'm just good at stocks, and I don't know much about the world of investing. "Scott Swift is very modest, he was born in Merrill Lynch, is a well-known stockbroker, and must know a lot about investing.
Of course, it is also that he does not want to take responsibility for the failure of the investment.
Don smiled: "It's okay, fax a copy of the list, I'll see it myself!"
That's more than 100 Internet companies!
In the whole bubble crisis, half of the high-tech companies went bankrupt, but most of the remaining companies have experienced the wind and rain and seen the rainbow.
Although Don doesn't know much about the situation in the United States, he still knows a little about many well-known companies.
Maybe...... Can you find one or two fish in this list?
Investing at this time is definitely a send-off in the snow, and you can get the greatest benefits!
It is even possible that the founders and shareholders will sell the entire company in order to reduce losses.
Now is the best time to pick up the slack.
……
George Paxton sat in the passenger seat and directed the driver to drive a modified version of a bulletproof Mercedes to the south slope of Beverly Hills.
In the back of the car, sat Don and Sophie Marceau.
During this time in the United States, Don has always let her follow him, and he is very infatuated with her pure and charming, literary and romantic feeling.
Push the door and get out of the car, and immediately several real estate developers greeted me.
This is a mansion that George Paxton chose according to Donn's request.
Donne's current house is rented, the environment is very good, the facilities are complete, the biggest problem is not private enough, so that who enters and leaves his mansion is reported in the gossip tabloids the next day.
But this hillside mansion is completely different.
Surrounded by woods, there is only one way down the hill to here, a bit like the mansion of Asia's richest man, located on the top of the mountain, as long as you hire enough bodyguards to guard the road you must pass, flies can't fly in.
Ignoring the real estate agent's muttering, Don put his arm around Sophie Marceau's waist and strode towards the courtyard.
Sophie Marceau wore a black super, and seemed to be accustomed to the feeling of being a vassal by Donn's side, leaning on his arms as if no one was around, "Don, it's so beautiful here." ”
Don looked around and nodded.
This mansion, covering an area of about 5,000 hectares, is a large fan-shaped blue swimming pool as far as the eye can see.
In the distance, there are tennis courts, lawns, gardens and other outdoor places.
George Paxton said softly: "This is the architecture of the Pacific Northwest coast, modeled after the eighteenth and nineteenth century manors, and there is an artificial lake behind it where salmon and trout can be farmed. The vacant lot over there can be converted into a zoo, and the overall design is complete. ”
Don nodded in satisfaction, "Where's the house?"
"Three floors above ground, 9 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, 6 kitchens, a dome library, a reception hall, a small screening room. There are two basement floors, a parking lot and a wine cellar, so you can go and see it later. ”
George Paxton took the place of the real estate agent and led Donn to the mansion, saying as he walked: "This is definitely a first-tier luxury property in Beverly Hills, the total cost will not be less than $40 million, and it is hard to find." The original owner was forced to sell the company because of the bankruptcy of the company. ”
Don smiled and looked at Sophie Marceau beside him, "Are you satisfied?"
"What's the use of me being satisfied? I'm not a hostess. Sophie Marceau pursed her lips and said jokingly.
Of course, the real estate agent knows these Hollywood bigwigs, and quickly retreats and stands far away, George Paxton naturally doesn't need it, and jokes: "You have to live for a while, right?"
Don praised it, "yes, we've only been dating for a long time, and I haven't ...... yet"
Sophie Marceau naturally understood what Donn didn't say, and her eyebrows flickered, "I haven't played enough, have you?"
Don laughed.
Sophie Marceau pursed her lips slightly, without squeaking, and George Paxton said: "I think it's very good here, the hall in front of you can have a party, it doesn't matter if there are a hundred people." The four master bedrooms are also kept at a certain distance, which is conducive to maintaining stability if different female companions move in in the future. ”
Don smashed his mouth a few times, "Four master bedrooms, a little less, right?"
Sophie Marceau was stunned and looked at Don incredulously.
With four master bedrooms, at least this house can accommodate four female companions at the same time, right?
Is this less?
George Paxton sighed, "Then there can't be any way, there are fewer people in Beverly Hills." So the top rich people don't live in Beverly Hills, and the residential area is too small. ”
Don touched his chin, "What do you mean...... In other cities?"
"Yes, there are hundreds of affiliated cities under Los Angeles, you can buy a farm, it doesn't matter if it's 20,000 or 30,000 hectares, and then build a real top mansion according to your own intentions. ”
Sophie Marceau's eyes lit up, "Like Michael Jackson's Neverland?"
George Paxton smiled: "Yes, but the level of Neverland is too low, Michael Jackson is a rich man in the entertainment industry, and he can ...... in the rich circle."
Sophie Marceau was slightly embarrassed, that kind of life was too far away for her. In her life, she is already satisfied to have a mansion like the one in front of her.
Tang En waved his hand and said magnificently: "Then let's do it, buy this place first and live there temporarily." George, you can help me choose a piece of land, and we will build our own house!"
"Okay!"
George Paxton is very happy, Donn has never been a door-picking boss, he helps run such a big deal, he will definitely receive a big red envelope.
On the way back, Sophie Marceau may have been hit by Donn's extravagant life, and her expression was a little depressed.
"What's wrong, unhappy?" Don hugged her as if he were the older one, like a big brother.
"Nothing. Sophie Marceau shook her head and hesitated for a while before she mustered up the courage to say, "Donne, you...... How long are you going to keep me with you?"
Tang En replied without thinking: "Three months." If the project is prepared quickly, maybe two months will be enough. ”
"Two or three months...... Fortunately, it didn't take long. Sophie Marceau secretly breathed a sigh of relief, no one likes to be a vassal of others and raise them by her side, and suddenly thought of a word in Don's words, and her face was suddenly overjoyed, "Project? Donn, are you talking about a film project?"
Tang En hugged her and said with a smile: "Of course, I want to collaborate with Luc Besson on a movie, called, it is expected to invest 100 million US dollars, and Mel Gibson is the leading actor." ”
"That'...... Will I be the heroine?" said Sophie Marceau, who felt her breath a little short.
Donn said very frankly: "Originally, I booked Judie Foster or Cameron Diaz. But for now, you're with me...... I enjoyed it, so I changed my mind. ”
"Wow!"
Sophie Marceau screamed, and threw herself into Done's arms, not at all like a mature beauty in her thirties, like an adolescent girl, and gently blew in his ear, "I...... Can make you enjoy it even more!"
"Really?"
"Want to try it?"
Don took a deep breath and ordered the driver: "Don't go to the company, go home!"
