Chapter 722: It's a Good Year
“。。。 After closing the position, the final profit of 1.02 billion pounds, based on the current global market is in a stable period, and the pound exchange rate is still at a high level, the dollar depreciation is serious, gold is the best safe-haven investment at the moment, we believe that the next investment focus should focus on gold futures. ”
Andy pinched the bridge of his nose and sat a little lazily in the boss's chair, a dozen members of the Predator London team sat at a long table in the office area of the presidential suite, and a laptop was being video-linked in front of him.
"Well, let's do it, I don't want to transfer the money I earn back to the United States to pay taxes, isn't everyone playing Irish and Caribbean countries' shell companies to avoid taxes, enable Irish shell companies, establish a base in Europe, and set up an office in London Street, in the next few years, there will be unlimited opportunities in Europe, which requires more effort from everyone here." ”
Andy listened to the report for about an hour, and it was also a summary report of the Battle of London, and on the whole, he made a lot of money this time, but the base of the principal is still small, compared to other predator-level hedge funds, hundreds of hundreds, hundreds of billions of pounds can only be regarded as a young shark, fortunately, the money belongs to him personally, and the money earned also belongs to him, and he does not need to share it with others.
"Okay, now that we're done with the work, let's have some fun. Andy had a smile on his face, and as he sat up straight, the 12 members of the London team sitting in front of him were also sitting upright, but many of them couldn't help but show excitement on their faces.
"Hehe, you have worked hard during this time, with your efforts, this trip to London has been a great success, everyone says that I am a generous boss, naturally will not let you down, according to the custom, a bonus of three million pounds per person, I hope you continue to work hard... ”
"Long live the boss... ”
"GOD! Boss, I love you... ”
Before Andy's words were finished, the scene burst into warm applause, and the lively side of the Americans was also revealed, and the whistles and cheers and high-fives immediately rang out, and they didn't care whether the big boss was present or not.
The little assistant Torrey Black walked in with two other female assistants holding golden Ace of Spades champagne, and looked at the group of people who were laughing and cheering with some envy, and they all said that Wall Street's JING Ying made the easiest money, and sure enough, it was.
Bang!
Champagne overflowed, glasses were raised, and Andy celebrated with everyone with a happy smile.
Andy will not be stingy, he knows better than anyone that only by paying enough bonuses can he ensure that his talents will not be lost, 3 million pounds is only the base bonus, and the bonus of the chairman and deputy leader of the group has reached 5 million pounds, which is quite generous on Wall Street.
Last year, Goldman Sachs, Da Morgan, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns paid a total of $656 billion in compensation and benefits to 186,000 employees. Even with the subprime mortgage crisis this year, Andy knows that Wall Street's year-end bonus will be higher than last year's $36.19 billion, or even a record high.
Otherwise, how could the Occupy Wall Street incident occur? The increase in bonus spending by Wall Street investment banks also explains why Manhattan land prices remained high during the subprime mortgage crisis. New York is a city with a financial industry, and the financial industry is still able to pay high bonuses to employees.
The excited subordinates drank all the champagne and left quickly, the real celebration will be in the evening, they need to party to relax, they need wine, they need beautiful women to vent, this is a Wall Street tradition, Andy will naturally not be stingy, of course, as for whether there will be laundry detergent or something, he will not care, everyone is not a child, can be responsible for their own actions.
Originally, there was also a welfare program for them to go to the stadium to watch the ball game together, but a group of Yankees were not interested at all, and Andy could only hehe.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at Hyde Park in the wind in the distance, Andy held a slender goblet with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, and drank all the champagne, the cash in his hand finally reached 10 billion dollars, and even more.
Even if it is his other companies and assets, although it has not reached the scale of 20 billion, it is almost the same, and Zuckerberg, the former leader of billionaires under the age of 30, has also been left behind by himself, well, although the valuation of Facebook will skyrocket his value in the future, but the IT company in his hands Andy Smith will not be inferior to Facebook.
In this year's Forbes rich list, he, a 23-year-old young man, will properly enter the top 30, if the valuation of his company is a little higher, maybe he can directly enter the top 20, in a group of fifty or sixty years old, seventy years old, he will undoubtedly become the most eye-catching one.
Many layouts have been completed, as long as the fruits are harvested step by step, his wealth will continue to grow, such as Marvel, after the release of Iron Man, this company that has been hitting the streets in superhero movies will burst out with huge potential, according to the plan, it can maintain growth for at least 15 years, it is completely a huge gold mine, just lie down and count the money.
"It's time to think about asset consolidation. Andy shook the glass in his hand and muttered softly.
Although there are still some entertainment industries that need to be laid out, however, it still needs time to wait, and the time has not yet come, but the integration of entertainment, IT, media, sports and industry needs to be put on the agenda and planned in advance.
This integration he needs to take out several companies in the IT industry to carry out a cross-shareholding operation, set up a stock management company, and take precautions for the financing and listing of IT companies in the future.
"Yawn—"
Andy couldn't help but yawn, looked at the time, it was already past 11 o'clock in the morning, put down the wine glass, walked out of the office area, arranged for Tori, and went into the bedroom to start catching up on sleep.
At half past one in the afternoon, Andy was woken up from his sleep by the little assistant, although he didn't get up, but he was also a little sleepy, after a short period of coming to his senses, he lifted the quilt and walked into the bathroom, soaked in the bathtub, and let the little assistant help him wash it with shower gel, and then he recovered his spirits.
At the table, the American Western food has been prepared, for the British food, Andy is not sensitive, for the amount of French food, he is even more powerless to complain, in his opinion it is pretending to be forced, to eat full or American large steak is more suitable for him.
After a full meal, Andy changed into a British shirt sweater with a crisp coat, a Tottenham scarf around his neck, a red and white striped tight sweater skirt, a pair of slender long tui wrapped in black SI, a camel-colored coat on the outside, and a Tottenham scarf around his neck, but it was very fashionable.
White Hart Lane was crowded on Saturday's race day, and even if the pressure on the City of London was successful, a number of police officers were sent to direct traffic, but the narrow roads were still congested.
Andy, who was sitting in the car, looked out of the car window, and the fans who passed by from time to time couldn't help frowning, you must know that most of the real Tottenham fans are from Fulham, and Fulham is a wealthy area and business district in London, and Tottenham fans are relatively richer, but every time it comes to the game day, Tottenham's rich fans will be very miserable, parking difficulties, congested traffic, and the poor supporting facilities around White Hart Lane have been mixed with people, all of which have long plagued Tottenham fans to watch the game.
Owning a new stadium is undoubtedly a great prospect for any club, but it can cost a lot of money to build a stadium in London, an international metropolis where land is at a premium, and even the money to build a stadium could buy several clubs.
There is no hurry. Andy whispered softly, now if you want to build a new stadium, you undoubtedly need to ask for people, Greater London City Council and District Council may have a lot of obstacles, but under the raging financial turmoil, the economy is slowing, unemployment is rising, retail industry is declining, and other problems appear, he only needs to let the club once again mention the intention of building a new stadium, he believes that London will beg him to invest in construction, and then the most difficult land problem will be solved.
