102 Making money vs. spending money
"Hey, John, you're up, it's been a lively day. Li Feng was eating breakfast, but Zach walked into the villa with a briefcase.
"Zach, good morning, why didn't you go to the office?"
"I've been there a long time ago, no, I know the situation on your side, so I'll come and take a look. ”
"Well, Zach, there's something you need help with. You see, we came out of the orphanage and haven't been back yet, so with the recent media discussions, let's donate some money after a while.
And, you see, the newspaper says that I suddenly have several pairs of biological parents. I want you to contact a private investigator, it's time to do a good job of looking into my background, and it's best to find out where my parents are now, as well as the family situation of both parents.
The third point is that I want to use my investment in Cisco and Microsoft stocks to take out another loan, anyway, now these two stocks are rising wildly, and the loan cash comes out to do things, so you need to arrange it, and it will be in the name of the investment company. ”
"Okay, then I'll arrange it, it seems that you can only hide in the villa recently. ”
"yes, if everything is in the media's sights, that's too boring, no, let Adams help me find a house, it's too small, and the security is not good. ”
"Isn't it, John, you're going to buy a house again?"
"Zach, it's okay, just invest in it, there are real estate companies anyway. ”
Listening to Li Feng's words, Zach could only roll his eyes.
......
"Hello Billy. ”
"Thank you, I can't believe the media reports, but there are some things that still need to trouble you. ”
"Yes, I want to borrow again, this time I will borrow 200 million, rest assured, I will use all Microsoft and Cisco shares as collateral. ”
"Okay, I'm going to do it as soon as possible, so be it, I'll treat you to dinner next time. ”
Zach was speechless for a while when he saw Li Feng finish talking on the phone with Citi's own financial manager, feeling that Li Feng was now immunized with hundreds of millions of dollars from time to time.
"John, do you need to borrow 200 million?
"Haha... Don't worry, Zach, the bank will agree. ”
Indeed, as Li Feng guessed, when he knew that Li Feng would have a one-time loan of 200 million, and with all Microsoft and Cisco shares as collateral, the bank quickly approved Li Feng's loan application.
You must know that since Li Feng bought two stocks, it is also a good time for Li Feng to catch up, with the listing of Netscape and the arrival of the Internet tide, Cisco, as the largest supplier of network equipment, has naturally risen and the stock price is the same day by day.
At the same time, Microsoft is not far behind, with the release of Win95, there is more and more trend of unifying the computer operating system market, and the stock price is also rising every day.
Naturally, the value of Li Feng's stock has naturally been increasing, and in a short period of time, it has grown from more than 400 million points to almost more than 600 million US dollars.
Only Li Feng knows that in the future, this stock can have billions or even tens of billions of returns.
......
"Hello Adam, it's me, Lee. ”
"Okay, thanks, that's right, I need a top Hollywood home, I think you should have the channels to help me get it, so I don't have to find it myself. ”
"What, really, than the top estate at the top of the hill. ”
"It's worth no less than 40 million, that's okay, you can help me get it, yes, in the name of the real estate company, as for the funds, I'm negotiating a loan with the bank, and I'll have it soon."
OK, so be it, as soon as possible, you know what's going on, I'm too small on my side to stop some crazy media reporters. ”
Hearing Li Feng's phone call with Adams again, Zach was a little numb, although Zack knew Li Feng's net worth very well, but he was still a little shocked to see Li Feng decide to buy Beverly's top estate without blinking his eyes.
"That's it, Zack?" Li Feng asked with a smile when he saw Zach staring at him without blinking.
"Nothing, John, I'm lamenting the speed at which you spend your money. ”
"Haha, Zack, money is earned for spending, isn't it, and I don't lose money, I believe that such a hilltop manor mansion is a scarce commodity at any time, and its value will only rise, so it should be regarded as an investment.
Also, when the loan arrives, the Sequoia Capital will be repaid, and the shares of Yahoo will be redeemed first, and the next time you want to take out a loan, you can also use the shares of Yahoo as collateral. ”
"Okay, you have the final say, and I'll go to work. Zach shrugged and left the villa.
......
In just one week, people were still talking about Li Feng's wealth myth, Li Feng completed the loan, and after the $200 million was received, people knew what it means to be rich and capricious.
The Beverly Hills Mansion was taken in, and together with all the expenses, it totaled $45 million, setting a new record for Beverly Hills luxury home sales.
The mansion called the century manor by Li Feng is on the top of Bifu Mountain, with an area of nearly 3 acres, that is to say, an area of more than 12,000 square meters, including a 2,000-square-meter two-and-a-half-story main house, including 10 bedrooms, numerous washrooms, and two 3-story annex buildings of 5 and 6 hundred square meters.
All kinds of facilities, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, overlooking Los Angeles, with hundreds of square meters of an underground wine cellar, but unfortunately there are a few hundred bottles of fine wine.
Of course, when the news broke, the whole United States was in an uproar, and there were all kinds of remarks, such as Li Feng was ready to enjoy a dandy-style life of wealth, and so on.
Of course, it was also at this time that Li Feng's Century Series Company appeared in people's sight.
Century Tianya Investment, Tianquan Law Firm, Tianji Real Estate, and Tianjing Security have made people see Li Feng's ambitions. Although Li Feng is only the nominal chairman, he does not occupy many shares.
......
"John, wow, what a treat. Allen looked at Li Feng's mansion and said enviously.
"Oh my God, John, this house is beautiful. Charlize and Halle Berry also looked at the manor with bare eyes.
"Sally, you and Harry can take a good stroll around and look around, you're going to be here more often anyway, aren't you?" Hearing Li Feng's words, everyone burst into laughter.
Yes, early in the morning, Li Feng called Zack, Allen and others.
"Joseph, Allen, the security of this manor will be handed over to you next. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of his new home, overlooking the panoramic view of Los Angeles, Li Feng said with a smile.
"BOSS, we need personnel support and security equipment. ”
"That's right, Alan, you can use my side as a testing ground, after all, how to create a private and safe family environment, I think it will be very useful for the security work of the security company in the future.
When I was the first client of a security company, to create an intimate home that was not disturbed, I thought there would be a lot of market in Hollywood in the future, you know, this is Hollywood, and the most troublesome thing is the media reporters.
Also, Alan, it's time to sort out the security company, but unfortunately, we haven't had a base where we can actually train security personnel.
I hope that we can build the goal of building the top security company in the United States, and those super-rich and top stars will be our customers in the future. ”
......
"Okay, let's use your manor as a reference for the boss first, let's test it.
However, BOSS, Allen, to be honest, the current people under Allen are not up to the requirements you want, after all, although they were ruthless enough before, they are obviously far behind the well-trained soldiers.
So I think we can recruit some retired special forces, and let the special forces train Allen's subordinates well. Joseph also responded.
Alan also nodded, after all, he knew his own affairs, and it was not simple to make a group of former street gangsters become security elites.
Similarly, Li Feng also knows that his own strength is not enough, if his strength is enough, find some retired special forces, or even instructors, it would be better if he could contact the military, and then imitate the Heishui model of later generations, buy a piece of land, and maybe he can also have a private army.
"So be it, the security company is still very important, although it can't make us much money, but it can escort our other industries, so let's do it first, we have to develop slowly. Li Feng finally concluded.
......
Finally, I also discussed the issue of the $200 million I just got in my hand, and I had a place to go.
The security company is 50 million, mainly because Li Feng wants the security company to buy a piece of land first to use as a security training base, and needs to build his own training base.
The real estate company 45 million, just counting his own money to buy a house, transferred the house to his own name.
60 million Sequoia was returned, and another 10 million was put in by the firm for expansion.
As for the investment company, there is nothing to do for the time being, so let's put it for the time being, and Li Feng's remaining funds are put into the account of the investment company.
After all, the funds are loaned in the name of the investment company, and at the same time, there is no capable person who is not presided over by the investment company.
Well, Li Feng soon realized that he was running out of money again, and the more money he had, the faster he spent it.
