Chapter 187: Top 10 Landlords in the United States
As night fell, Manhattan's Upper West Side became quiet.
The lights of the six-story old building next to the plane tree are on, the railing gate is tightly closed, and the bodyguards can be seen walking back and forth from time to time.
in the living room.
The box contained a rose-gold card, Han Xuan leaned out and took out one, picked it up and looked at it, and the two names of "Chairman of Snow Mountain Investment Company" and "Assistant to the President of Marvel Comics" were carved out on it, and his name and number were also written.
The business card has no edges and corners, and the arc of the upper left corner is much larger than the other three.
Then open another box, the card is the same, but only the grandfather's name and company number are engraved, with his status, it is enough to have this.
Seeing his grandson's face, Old Man Han smiled and said, "The business cards are used up, and by the way, I helped you make a batch, but you can't take a piece of paper out, it's too embarrassing for you, the boss of a big company." ”
"Don't laugh at me, you know what you talked about with Donald Trump, right?" Han Xuan said, rolling his eyes.
The old man nodded, sat on the sofa and turned on the TV, while watching the evening news of NBC TV at half past 7 o'clock, several experts were talking about Russia, and they fully expressed their disdain in their conversation and demeanor, believing that a situation of one superpower and many powers was forming, and the European Union could only follow the United States to eat ashes.
He smiled and said: "It's a good job, if you can get a piece of land, it's a passing grade, as for investing in Trump Corporation, it's a good time now."
The Federal Reserve raised interest rates in February this year, and so far they have not made the progress they expected, but the unemployment rate has dropped a little, and it can be seen from the SOS Group's monthly report that the turnover has increased by 4.52 percent, indicating that the economy has indeed improved, and residents' awareness of advanced consumption has increased.
The return of funds from developing countries to the United States has driven the stock market to rise for half a year. But I think there are more bubbles in it, and at the current level of the economy, the Dow Jones index is not enough to break through 3900 points.
Since the beginning of '92, there have been a total of 10 economic crises, and those people are frightened, and as long as they find that there is a little trouble, a large number of funds will be withdrawn. Some of the money that stays in the United States will always go to the property market.
Donald Trump is very shrewd, he has close ties with local real estate developers in New York and the Republican Party, he should be able to make some money this time, but it is easy to attract hatred when speculating on land, and if the wind is not right, he will quickly withdraw it, that company was founded by his son, and I don't think he is happy to keep so many shares in your hands. ”
"Yes, I know. The rest is left to Mr. Anthony. Han Xuan said, inserting the business card in his hand back into the box.
The housekeeper came over and whispered to them to eat, the old man hummed, and put his hand on his grandson's shoulder: "I originally planned to buy a building on Fifth Avenue and open a branch, but now it seems that I have to speed up, and I can also take your hitchhiker and make some pension money, the intermediary company told me some time ago that there is a store for sale." I don't know if it's sold or not, I'm busy and forgetful. How's it going?
"Fortunately, when we are on the right track, the small things will be taken care of by the people in the company, and there will not be much to do. Han Xuan looked up at his grandfather and said with a smile.
"If you want to blame your dad, I studied business management in college for a few years. It's all on that ranch, and if I can make it the size of a top ten landlord like John Malone and Stan Kroenke, and do me a little favor by the way, I don't have to let you meddle in these things now. ”
Helping Han Xuan pull out the chair, the old man said, "Especially John Malone." His cable channels can wrestle with Mercado's News Corp., as well as Viacom, Paramount, and CBS in the hands of Summer-Rayshidong, and the rancher has done his part, which is the end. ”
"My Dad"
Han Xuan remembered his father's personality, and the corners of his eyebrows twitched.
If he really did the top ten landlords, at least more than 800,000 acres, and the most was close to 2 million acres, and he was still acquiring one after another, and it was estimated that he would have escaped a long time ago.
However, it is indeed a good way to acquire land, I have only experienced the first 16 years of the new century, and when the time comes, I will have to compete with others on the same starting line, and I will always leave myself a way back, and I can live a stable life if I fail.
U.S. land can be granted a permanent easement, and as long as the U.S. exists, the land purchased is your own.
Thinking about the size of the 2 million acres owned by John Malone, he muttered: "In the future, the fifteen municipalities and one county in Shanghai will add up to an area of more than 6,000 square kilometers, and 10,000 acres will be nearly 40 square kilometers, and my mother will be 2,000 square kilometers larger than the entire Shanghai market." ”
"Shanghai?"
Old man Han received: "Huaxia, I've been thinking about going back again since my grandfather."
After President Nixon's visit to China in '72, relations between the two countries eased, and my father was 60 years old and was about to pass, but his health had just been issued, and he died less than two years later.
In '79, Mr. Deng was invited by President Carter to visit the United States for nine days, during which I rushed to Washington to pick him up, and I saw him once from afar, but at that time, SOS had just developed, his identity was not enough, he could not speak, and he went to thousands of Chinese, and the White House had never been so lively before.
President Carter held an official ceremony to welcome the vice president of another country and accompany Mr. Tang on a parade of honor guards, a rarity in diplomatic history.
You don't know how excited I was at the time. ”
Han Xuan really doesn't know very well, but it can be imagined.
He lowered his head and held down the steak with a fork, cut it with a knife, and said: "In recent years, the development of Huaxia has been very good, and I have thought about putting the main sales focus of the automobile industry there, but I need to make joint ventures with local car manufacturers to allow them to enter the market, and I have not yet found a suitable manufacturer." ”
"There is no way to do this, the joint venture can learn technology and provide local jobs in China. ”
The old man hadn't heard of this, so he turned around in his head, figured out the situation, and continued: "The joint venture should reduce taxes, the cost of making cars in the United States is high, plus the cost of shipping them over, and the tariffs will make the price of cars a lot higher.
In previous years, large quantities of cheap Chinese-made products had poured into the U.S. market, leading the U.S. government to believe that it had disrupted the trade balance between the two countries.
Therefore, the Huaxia government purchased 3,010 Ford Tempo units from the Ford Motor Company in 92 to be used as Huaxia taxis and tourist sightseeing cars. ”
"Well, I'll make an appointment with Mr. Anthony tomorrow to discuss the matter then. ”
Han Xuan said: "I think that after this joining, the number of supermarkets in the United States will be saturated, and the market in Huaxia has not yet opened, so now is a good time." ”
"I have taken it into consideration, commercial espionage revealed the news to me, Wal-Mart also has this idea, Wheather is collecting information on the other side, and when the matter of this period is dealt with, I will go to China, because of historical reasons, I have not been back. ”?
Han Xuan spoke in a hurry and choked the steak hard: "Take me!" (To be continued.) )
