058 Decision

For Rockefeller Manor, whether it is in the past or present, Li Feng is not familiar with it, not that he has visited anything, but mainly because it is too famous.

From the beginning of stepping off the helipad, stepping on the turquoise lawn, looking at the natural environment of green mountains and green waters, green trees, from time to time you can still see several floors of houses, and you can vaguely see people walking.

"Old David, this is really a good place, I heard that you have donated this place?" Li Feng asked Old Davy jokingly.

"Yes, I have already donated. Old David winked at Li Feng playfully, and then replied with a smile.

Facing the treacherous and cunning old David, Li Feng could only shake his head helplessly. Thinking about donating a fart, Li Feng is really clear about the Tao now, after all, he has reached such a level.

To put it bluntly, it was donated to a charitable fund, then it was said to be open to the public, and then the family's real estate management company was jointly managed with the government.

Most of the family castles of the United States are such a model, whether it is the Rockefeller Manor or the famous 'Hearst Castle' in California, etc.

……

Li Feng knew very well that before Hearst Castle, Li Feng always thought that it was completely donated to the California government. In the previous life, Hearst Castle was also famous, Li Feng was still searching for a while on Du Niang, it is said that after the death of the old Hearst, the family members could not pay the inheritance tax to donate.

It wasn't until this life that I came into contact with the Hearst family to know what was going on, and today's Hearst Castle is actually jointly managed by the Hearst family's real estate company and the California government's park department, and it is really the Hearst family who has the final say, after all, the castle itself is in the Hearst Ranch, isn't it.

The Hearst family really wants to play tricks and fence off the ranch so that no one can pass by, after all, the law of US imperialism is very clear, private territory is inviolable, and if there is, it is a justifiable reason for defense.

Standing in front of a large house in the famous Rockefeller Manor, looking around the manor, Li Feng suddenly stopped, this big house is on a small hill, therefore, being able to overlook the entire manor, such a picturesque private manor is indeed dizzying.

Looking at the strength of others, looking at Li Feng's own, he originally felt that his mansion was a bull fork, but it turned out to be really a sentence, and he was afraid of comparing something.

Seeing Li Feng looking at the manor with great interest, Old David couldn't help but smile and said, "Little John, how about letting Kenny take you around?"

"You're welcome, I have the opportunity to have a manor like this in the future, it feels very good, I can completely wander among the green mountains and green waters, empty my brain, and forget all my troubles. ”

Packed up his mood, this time there was no further delay, Li Feng followed old David into the 2nd floor of the house, and just walked into the living room of the house, he was greeted by two old men and a lot of entourage or staff or something.

……

Next, it was naturally an old-fashioned introduction, which let Li Feng know that the current patriarch of the Rockefeller family, the elder brother of David, Lawrence Rockefeller, and the patriarch of the Roosevelt family by his side, Frank Roosevelt, is not very old, in his early 60s.

After sitting down, when the elder David proposed that Kenny accompany Li Feng first, and the younger generation visited the Rockefeller manor, both Lawrence and Frank, the two family bosses, agreed with a smile and called some of the younger generations of the family to accompany them.

Li Feng first went to the famous manor house, accompanied by his entourage, and even accompanied by the staff of the national park, he visited the famous Rockefeller manor house, and appreciated the style of the founder of the Rockefeller family, John Sr., and his successor, John Jr.

When Li Feng saw the collections in the underground garage of the main mansion and the art collection room, Li Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, although these things were far away from him in his previous life, they were all famous after all.

Look at what they are, what Leonardo da Vinci, Van Gogh, Picasso famous paintings are everything, although I can't see any fame, anyway, oil paintings are like graffiti in Li Feng's eyes, but who makes it famous and valuable.

In the Chinese exhibition hall, porcelain, calligraphy, paintings, furniture, bronzes and so on are dazzling.

After visiting their garage, Li Feng suddenly felt that the luxury cars in his garage seemed so dazzling, and he really looked like an upstart.

There are a variety of models from the early 20th century, and a large number of antique cars are very well maintained, and even according to Kenny, if you want, you can just refuel and run a lap back, which is antique and extraordinary.

……

Next, the exquisite garden behind the main building is quite a bit of the charm of the Chinese Suzhou garden, which makes Li Feng linger; he has successively seen many residences in the manor, it is said that there are 7 or 8 ten properties in the entire manor, and there are dozens of family members living in the Rockefeller family at present; and then including golf courses, amusement parks, and farms and pastures, it is simply a self-sufficient paradise.

After a round of sightseeing, Li Feng experienced a life that was different from that of big cities like New York and Los Angeles, and he felt that walking in the manor could calm his heart, just like walking on a country road in his previous life.

When he returned to Lawrence's residence again, it was getting dark, and old David even directly invited Li Feng to live in the manor for one night.

After enjoying every self-sufficient meal on the manor's farm, drinking their accustomed tea, coffee, etc., the group officially entered an administrative office, and it was obvious that Lawrence also needed office operations from time to time in his villa, and such office space was a necessity.

"Little John, since you didn't come to New York, it means that we have a basic foundation for cooperation in the future, I think you must have read the previous information, the acquisition funds need at least 15 billion US dollars, what do you think?" As everyone began to agree, Lawrence immediately said to Li Feng.

"How much money can you provide?"

"We can raise $5 billion in cash at the moment, and whether we need to reconsider anything else is another story. Lawrence replied on behalf of the two families.

……

"Then if I mortgage a company under my name, such as a real estate company or a media group, how much money do you think I can raise?" For these bigwigs, whether it is Lawrence or Davy Sr., they are all financial predators on Wall Street, Li Feng didn't have to hide it, and directly took out his cards and asked.

"If it's all mortgaged, the funds you naturally need are more than enough. Old David then interjected.

"Please, is my company so worthless, and I can only borrow so much if I mortgage it all?" "Old David, how about your Chase Manhattan Bank help me raise funds, and I will use the company's shares as collateral?"

According to the rough discussions, the acquisition of such a company would also require Chase Manhattan Bank as a financial service.

Naturally, Li Feng also seized such an opportunity to involve East West Bank and his own investment company, and learning to participate in such mergers and acquisitions is very beneficial for both investment banks and East West Bank in the future.

Seeing that old David was rolling his eyes, Li Feng was speechless for a moment, and then smiled again and said, "That's okay, I can use the company's shares as collateral or directly use the shares to negotiate with the shareholders of those companies, or in the form of shares and cash."

As for my side, I'll invite Bank of America, Citigroup, and you Chase Manhattan to help me take the blame, anyway, I'm using shares as collateral, if you think it's feasible, then some talk, if not, then I can't help it, if I want to raise at least $10 billion in cash, I can't help it. ”

"If that's the case, let's follow this plan, John, do you need our help in contacting Citi and the Americas?"

"No, I have their phone. Li Feng replied with a smile.

……

In fact, night vision is like this, whether it is Citigroup, the Americas or rich countries, now the three major banks of the United States are all top customers, and they all owe a lot of debts to the three major banks, but the three major banks have not come to collect debts, and they are still in the honeymoon period. Even according to Li Feng's guess, the three major banks even wish that Li Feng would take out more loans, and it would be better not to pay them back, so the high-quality assets in Li Feng's name will become their pockets.

Talking about this kind of thing, Prince and the others can only be a witness, after all, Prince doesn't have much money even if he sells all the family belongings.
