201 Soros and Carlyle Investments
"John, this is the basic information about Soros and Carlyle's investment. ”
After the meal, considering that Soros and Carlyle's investors were coming in the afternoon, Wang Siqing handed Li Feng the materials that had been prepared long ago.
For Soros, Li Feng simply glanced at it in a hurry, after all, Soros's reputation is too loud, and Li Feng always has a general understanding.
Since the 80s and 90s, he can be seen in financial crises around the world, and the title of the king of hedge funds is not blown. It stands to reason that now that the Asian financial crisis is in full swing, Soros should have no time, so why did he come to me inexplicably.
But for Carlyle's investment in Li Feng's previous life, it seems that he has heard that it is known as 'one of the world's largest private equity funds', and in later life, it seems to be as famous as Blackstone Group, etc., and further understanding is almost zero, and he has only heard of the name.
Just like in later generations, even ordinary people can always hear Blackstone Group, Carlyle Investments, KKR, etc., as well as names such as private equity and PE, which sound full of fantasy and feel quite mysterious.
As for what they did, laymen really don't understand, after all, private equity funds, private equity funds, etc., which sound like high-minded things, are still too far away for ordinary people.
Naturally, Li Feng in this life naturally understands what private equity funds and private equity funds want to do, after all, these are actually the things that his investment company is doing now.
……
After a few simple glances, he turned over Soros's information, and for the information of the Carlyle Investment Group, Li Feng looked at it in detail. The first thing that catches your eye is a basic introduction to The Carlyle Investment Company, followed by information about the management and shareholders. Finally, it is to set up a series of company operations, case operations, and so on.
Just by glancing at it, Li Feng was immediately interested. It's not that the Carlyle Investment Company is good or how large the company's scale is, but that the resume of the management can blind the eyes of ordinary people.
Let's start with the basics of Carlyle's investments, the founding team: In 1987, Stephen Norris and David Rubinstein and three of his lawyer friends, William Conway, together with Daniel De'Anillo and Greg Rosenborn, founded Carlyle.
Among them, Stephen Norris is the initiator, David is the home affairs assistant to former President Carter, and the other three are all top business executives and have lawyer licenses, each with their own expertise.
Led by David Rubinstein, a former assistant to the president, is responsible for Carlyle's overall private placement and investments. Again, perhaps because of David Rubinstein's connections, or because Carlyle was founded in the place where someone else's private equity fund rests in Washington.
Carlyle's investment in the company remains political, at least for now, just look at many of its executives.
At this time, the CEO was former Secretary of Defense Frank Carly, who joined Carlyle in '89, but the role was huge.
In '89 and '90, Carlyle made a major investment in the defense industry – winning a $20 billion contract from the U.S. Imperial War Department, and from then on, Carlyle began to take off.
It was from here that some senior officials in Washington joined in, including former White House staff, former Secretary of State, and even former President George H.W. Bush, who now manages a fund under Carlyle, and is both a fund manager and a fund manager as governor.
……
Of course, it was after 94 years that Carlyle made a name for herself in the private equity fund industry, before 94, although Carlyle began to take off, but its largest private equity funds did not exceed $100 million, until 94, Carlyle pulled Soros, the 'king of hedge funds', into Carlyle and became a limited partner.
With Soros's huge reputation in the field of financial funds, it has become easy to raise funds, and those financial consortia of the United States imperialism have become Carlyle's customers, such as Citigroup, American International Group and other giants, and now in 97 years, Carlyle's private equity fund has reached a scale of 13 billion US dollars, and it is also a party of fame in private equity funds.
What Li Feng didn't know was that Carlyle was known as the 'President's Club' in later generations, and many of those presidents and prime ministers from all over the world and countries were employed by Carlyle after retirement.
Even later generations were exposed after 911, and Carlyle's fund also has the investment of Ben**, the king of terror, who can absorb Bush Jr. and Ben** under his own company at the same time.
Since its inception, Carlyle has maintained a strong political overtone, investing mainly in companies founded by governments with certain political advantages. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Carlyle is a continuation of the political group, and at this point it is even stigmatized by many practitioners in the industry.
……
What really made Carlyle become a giant and soar in the PE industry was from 03 years ago, when IBM chairman, CEO, and legendary manager Louis Gerstner took over the CEO position of Carlyle Investment.
It was also under the leadership of Gerstner that Carlyle began to transform, from a merger company of the US imperialist Department of Defense to a traditional private equity company, achieving a legendary reputation as the future king of PE and the capital market of the United States imperialism.
Naturally, Li Feng is not clear about these, after all, in his previous life, Li Feng was an ordinary little fart, where did he know about the internal problems of a company like Carlyle Investment.
However, even if it is unclear what the future holds, Carlyle has occasionally heard of the company's name, or seen it on the Internet, as if it can be on a par with Blackstone.
Blackstone Group, even if these are ordinary people in their previous lives, in the eyes of ordinary people in China, most of them are famous, and therefore, Carlyle's future development and future are naturally bright. In Li Feng's view, looking at his management team and the forces behind it, it is not surprising that he has succeeded.
A lot of information was provided by Kukoschenva, and it can be seen from here that it is very necessary for Li Feng to pull Kukoschenva and the two former CIA directors up and set up a strategic intelligence department of the enterprise, otherwise, many internal details will not be understood by ordinary people at all.
While looking at the information of Carlyle's investment, while thinking about his thoughts, time passed unconsciously.
……
John, Soros and Carlyle CEO Frank Cassie Road, and co-founder David Rubinstein arrived five minutes later. ”
Wang Siqing's reminder after coming in brought Li Feng, who was buried on the desk, back to his senses. I looked at my watch, it was almost 2:30 p.m., and before I knew it, just looking at the information of the managers of Carlyle Investment and the investment cases over the years, 2 hours had passed.
"Oh, since they're here, let's go and have a look, and by the way, call Henry and Prince and them together, and let them come with me to meet Soros and Carlyle. Li Feng stretched, stood up and moved his limbs, and finally commanded Wang Siqing.
"Okay, they've all come over in the afternoon, and I've already given them the news and information about Soros and Carlyle's visit, and they should have read it all now. Wang Siqing replied with a smile.
"Sister Qing, it's good to have you, I've arranged it for me, come, I'll give you a loving hug!" Listening to Wang Siqing's arrangement, Li Feng couldn't help but reply happily.
"Hold your head, you are ready, I'll call someone. Wang Siqing gave Li Feng a white look with a sweet smile again, said coquettishly, and left the office with a twist on his waist.
……
"Haha... , Sister Qing, wait for me, let's go together. Li Feng also laughed and caught up with the footsteps of the beauty.
