Chapter 459: Near-Sighted Worries and Distant Worries

It took the entire daylight for Link to complete the final formalities for the change of ownership of the Venetian Hotel. At this point, the Venetian Hotel really belongs to him.

Although he has been a director at MGM for several years, he still has a half-understanding of the hotel's operation.

It didn't help him to stay, so he didn't stay in Las Vegas for more. Only asked Martha to temporarily assist Douglas in managing the Venetian Hotel. Of course, it is mainly Douglas, and when Douglas is familiar, Martha can let go.

Link, on the other hand, flew back to Huazhou in his own plane with a few bodyguards. During his stay in Las Vegas, he could hear Jessica's concerns on video calls. He had to go back so she could settle down.

In fact, at this time, his strength was also revealed. Even if the Adelson family is not convinced, they dare not do anything to him.

Not everyone in the Adelson family is as unscrupulous as a spoiled child like Anderson Adelson, who has hung up.

When he returned to Mora Manor, Jessica was visibly relieved.

He needs to go out to work, and Hannah can go to school. However, Link negotiated with the kindergarten. He will send bodyguards to protect Hannah in the kindergarten. Just in case, Link has asked Ari to find some female bodyguards so that he can protect Jessica and Hannah more closely.

For the time being, he is still relatively relieved. He received news that the Adelson family was now in a state of flux. Even if you want to take revenge on him, you can't spare your hands for a while. And he also arranged for the safety of his family.

He became the owner of one of the most exclusive casino hotels in Las Vegas. The news caused a stir in the United States. Some media reported with envy and jealousy, some media exaggerated, and more media accused him of disrespecting an old dead man.

But, who cares? He went to work the day after he returned to Fox.

This is a busy time for his various companies.

Some time ago, Claire went to Texas several times to build a bank with capital cooperation in Texas.

Their goal is for Bank Ozette to take the majority of the shares. At the very least, it is a stake that can be controlled. Those banks will become subsidiaries of Ozette Bank. But they are independent banks. These banks do not necessarily have one in every state, and one bank can be responsible for the business in several states.

Some time ago, Claire went to Texas and several nearby states in search of potential collaborators. They all felt that it would be more appropriate to set up a bank in Texas, which had a more developed economy and agriculture. Of course, the bank will open branches in several surrounding states to expand its business to those states.

Link needs to invest the money he has, so it's curious to see what he's getting up to now.

After sending Hannah to school, he went to the Ozette Bank building and then went straight to Claire's office.

As a result, he found Claire's office door closed. Even his secretary was nowhere to be seen.

He had to call the other party, only to learn that Claire had run away to Arkansas. Arkansas is also the state where the sale of the Amaranth virus has been rolled out. It is also the business scope of the Texas branch envisioned by Claire.

"Looks like you've gained quite a bit. Link could hear Claire's tone relaxed. "Can you tell us a little bit?"

"First of all, in Texas, we have found four investors who have agreed to work together. They have a very good network of contacts and connections in Texas. They can help our bank gain a foothold in Texas. Claire said with a smile. "I'll tell you when I get back. ”

"Are there potential investors in other states as well?"

"There are several, but they're hesitating. ”

"How much money are they willing to come up with?"

"I told them that we would only accept investments of no more than $300 million, because we were only going to find 10 collaborators, and Ozette Bank would invest $3 billion in this sub-bank. ”

When Link heard this, he said, "Then I'll talk about it when you come back." ”

Since his phone was tapped, if his phone was tapped, the phone would call the police and even fight back. But it was precisely because the counterattack was so domineering that if it was exposed, both of them would be in trouble, especially Carrick. Link tells Carrick not to let anyone else use it again.

And the fact that his mobile phone was tapped also informed his collaborators and subordinates, so that they could not say anything when they were on the phone.

Claire didn't elaborate on the phone for this reason.

He didn't find Claire, so he went to find Neil.

Neil is still studying his curves. And there is nothing in the financial investment company that particularly needs his attention. Neil is diversifying the company's money into the stock market for long-term investments. Neil would do just fine, and he wouldn't have to worry about it at all.

However, what Neil had mentioned to him before, this time Neil brought it up again: "Teresa has completed the case of Springs Pharmaceuticals. ”

Link remembered his previous offer and said, "She's indeed done." Are you going to give her the money? Is there a project?"

"Not yet. I may be able to analyze the state of some companies in terms of various financial indicators. But for that kind of operation, Teresa is the expert. I thought, I can work with her. Find the right target together. We hand over the funds to her. After making a profit, pay a certain fee to her Thomas Company. ”

Neil seems to have refined his previous assumption: "We're essentially doing that kind of thing when we're investing in the stock market for the long term, except that Teresa's approach might be more beneficial to us." Our funds can be used to acquire certain businesses, optimize their operations, and sell them again after appreciation. If the property is useful to you, you can keep it. ”

Link listened to him, thought for a moment, and said, "I agree with your proposal. You can talk to Teresa. "It is true that financial investment companies will not make much moves except for the long-term in the stock market. In the long run, just to contribute to other companies, you may be able to make money in the end, but Snapton's operation can also make money, and you can have more choices.

Companies can be acquired, and certain assets can be sold for a profit after appreciating in value.

Neil laughs and says, "Maybe that will give you the opportunity to train more business managers." You know that if a company wants to add value, it has to have a good management group. Different types of businesses need different people. ”

Link smiled and said, "Then it's a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone." ”

"If done well, yes. ”

"Then I'll leave this matter to you. Teresa can assist you. Teresa is also an ambitious person, though. If she is not willing to bend to you, she may also start her own case. And Springs' case only completes the first stage. The next step is for her to find a way to take full control of Springs and increase its value. ”

Neil agrees with Link's assessment of Snapton, who is indeed a very ambitious woman. But he was confident that the woman would obey him: "I will cooperate with her sincerely." ”

Link sat in his office for about twenty minutes or so before leaving. He also needs to deal with the work that has accumulated in the previous days.

Around noon, he received a call from Martha: "Link, you wanted to buy some of the gold jewelry. We have now purchased a certain amount of gold and gemstone raw materials in countries around the world. The first batch is being prepared to be shipped back to the United States. What do you plan to do with it, is it to send it to the bank for storage?"

Link thought for a moment and said, "Send it to Mora Manor." He paused, then asked again. "All sourced in other countries?"

"In the U.S., there are also procurements. However, gold consumption in the United States is relatively small. We mainly buy directly from gold mining companies, and we don't buy a lot of money. Now the acquired things are mainly from Russia, South Asia, East Asia and Africa. Martha paused and said. "If you're planning to store something at Mora Estate, maybe you can ship it directly to Seattle. ”

Link heard her say that, so he had to say, "I see." It would be better if we could use American companies to import back. "If gold is brought into the U.S. privately, there are significant import taxes.

Martha had already thought of this question. "We are entrusting the procurement to domestic companies," she said. ”

"That's good. ”

After Link hung up the phone, he lost his mind.

The main reason for exchanging money for gold is that he feels that the dollar has shown signs of weakness.

If the dollar is no longer able to dominate the world's major trade-settlement currency markets, and manufacturing in the United States is sluggish, the dollar is likely to collapse.

His funds are now running out for a while.

Since previous years, countries around the world have been stockpiling more gold. Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has also publicly acted as a "spokesperson" for gold, which at least shows that the world's monetary system is in a state of instability. He bought gold jewelry mainly to avoid risk.

Of course, he also asked for the purchase of some art, including antiques. Those things also hold their value. It can also decorate his castle.

But there's no way he's going to exchange all his money for gold or something. He now needs to turn the money he earns into a high-return investment. Only then can the losses caused by the depreciation of the dollar be avoided.

There is also a problem, even if his money is turned into an investment, if the return on investment is too low to keep up with the depreciation of the dollar, his property is still being lost.

He now thinks that Claire and Neil's proposal is the best solution to this problem.

However, banks' ability to respond to financial fluctuations is very weak, and every time there is a financial fluctuation, the first to be abandoned by the market is the bank. He also needs special attention.

"Link, are you still listening?"

"I'm listening. ”

"Four days later, there was an auction in New York, mainly for the auction of works of art from the ancient civilizations of the world. There are antiques from South America, North Africa, Europe and Asia. If you're interested, I can send you information about it. ”

Link thought he was going to New York in a few days, so he said, "You sent it." I'll take a look first. Maybe there's something I'm interested in. ”
