Chapter 662: The Taste of Success

After meeting with Joshua Smith, Charlie called Link and gave him a list of them.

The people on the list have detailed introductions. Political leanings and so on are introduced.

Link handed the list to Douglas and asked him to help him check if the people above had any racist words and deeds.

It's not that Link doesn't believe Charlie, it's that Charlie can't find out very clearly. He is a yellow race, and if a person with racist ideas is put in power, he is really sick. Although Douglas may not be able to find everything, he can find more than Charlie.

A week later, Aozette Development Bank and Garden Bank jointly held a press conference, and the two sides jointly invested $5 billion to establish Huazhou Unmanned Logistics Co., Ltd., of which Aozette Development Bank invested $2.5 billion to account for 60% of the shares.

Link also announced that it would license the unmanned logistics system to the company for a nominal price of one dollar per year for ten years.

At the same time, Ozette Financial Investment Co., Ltd. announced that it would invest $2 billion to establish Ozette Truck Maintenance Company.

Link went to Las Vegas, talked to Paul Brown for hours, and then went to Portland to meet with the mystery man.

In the run-up to Christmas, the Washington House of Representatives first announced that it would hold hearings a month later on changing the state law that would allow unmanned vehicles on the road. At this time, everyone knew that Huazhou was preparing for the implementation of an unmanned logistics system.

Soon after, Nevada and Oregon announced that similar hearings would be held.

It's just Christmas. Some people have noticed that Claire Hawke of the Ozette Development Bank has frequent contact with the Bank of America and the First National Bank of Dallas.

By mid-January, Bank of America, First National Bank of Dallas and Ozette Development Bank had announced a $6 billion investment in Southwest Logistics Group.

The outside world does not know what to do. Among them, Ozette Development Bank will invest one billion dollars to account for 25% of the shares, but Southwest Logistics Group will be authorized to obtain an unmanned logistics system at a cost of $100 million per year.

This represents the official agreement between Link and the California and Texas consortiums.

Because the House of Representatives received a test report on the unmanned logistics system in operation. At the end of January, the Legislature of Huazhou and other states passed hearings to prepare for the revision of traffic regulations.

At the same time, California, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and several southern states announced that they would hold hearings on changes to traffic regulations.

People all over the United States see that the implementation of unmanned logistics systems in the United States is inevitable.

City Bank began to reach out to Claire, and other banks also took action...... Claire became a busy man.

…………

At this time, inside Hannah Castle, Link and Neil, as well as Fren, who had made a special trip, were raising their glasses in celebration.

Neil and Furlen's operations in gold futures have come to an end.

Instead of champagne, Link opened a sparkling wine from Ozette without a fixed label.

He poured his wine and raised his glass with a smile and said, "Cheers to our bountiful harvest!" he said, tilting his head and drinking his glass.

Neil didn't speak, and drank all the glasses of wine.

The same is true for Furlen, but after he finished drinking, he smiled and said, "Although it is very earthy to drink like this, it is really refreshing!"

Neil picked up the bottle and poured wine into three glasses and said, "Although the harvest this time is not satisfactory, I think I am very satisfied." ”

He had no reason to be dissatisfied. In this operation, the company received a total of more than $20 billion in net income. and doubled the amount invested.

The reason for this is that gold futures should continue to rise, but they can't wait until the end.

Neil is satisfied, and so is Fren. Stoll made a lot of money, and so did his personal investments.

Of course, Link earns more. The financial investment company and Stoll all have his shares, and he himself has taken out some funds to Neil and Furren to operate. After more than half a year of operation, he naturally made a lot of money.

However, Link didn't say anything about his gains, but said with a smile: "When I called Claire yesterday, he seemed to be screaming. I don't know if the hotel residents who live next door to him will complain about him to the hotel. ”

Claire borrowed a sum of money directly from the Ozette Bank and gave it to Neil to operate. That money can now be at least doubled as well. He had suggested opening two banks at the same time, and now he has the funds to invest.

Neil laughed and said, "I think he's almost crazy." You know, this is the first time we've been kicked out of Wall Street to prove to those people that we can still play them. ”

Link understands Neil's excitement. When he and Claire were ousted by Wall Street, it was definitely the biggest failure of his life. This time it was once again successful in taking that much of the proceeds from Wall Street. It is enough to prove that even if he leaves Wall Street, he is still the awe-inspiring and gnashing of his teeth on Wall Street. He completed the sermon of his life.

Link took a sip of wine with a smile and said, "So." Neil, Fren, what's next for you?"

Neil thought for a moment and said, "Link, I was thinking about this before this operation. Before, the conditions were not ripe, but now they are. I have a suggestion. ”

"Tell me, what is it?"

"I don't know what you're going to do with the money of the investment company, but I suggest that you leave most of the money in the investment company if you don't need it urgently. ”

Link took another sip of his wine and said, "I think you have other suggestions." ”

"The people in the financial investment companies are already bloated, and we need to play the role of these people. As long as the financial investment company's funds are maintained at $30 billion, it is sufficient. For the rest of the funds, I propose to invest in the opening of new financial investment companies, and the managers will select from the traders in the financial investment companies. Their loyalty can be trusted. ”

Link calculated that if he only kept $30 billion in the financial investment company, he could invest nearly $8 billion. He asked, "So how many companies do you think you're going to open?"

"My opinion is that those traders also get a lot of commissions in this operation, and I think we can absorb their funds, and we will set up six new companies, each with a $1.5 billion, and those traders will give them shares if they want to invest. ”

"Let them be subsidiaries of financial investment companies?"

"Yes. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "You make a detailed report to me, and if there is no problem, I will sign it." ”

"Good. ”

Link said to Fren again, "Fren, do you have any plans?"

"I don't have any new plans yet. ”

Link pondered for a moment and said, "Fren, have you ever thought about merging Stoll with the financial investment company. Of course, I'm just a suggestion. ”

"Merge?" Neither Neil nor Flon expected Link to come up with such an idea.

Link nodded and said, "Yes." Now Stoll has more than $10 billion in funds, while Ozette Financial Investment Company has nearly $30 billion in funds. You and Neil are different types of decision-makers, and you can divide the work without holding each other back. If united, I think it will be even stronger. ”

Neil and Furren both looked down in contemplation for a moment. Neil said, "If Flren doesn't have an opinion, I don't have any opinion. ”

Fren thought for a moment and said, "Link, you have a point, and if I can work with Neil, I think it will be a great experience, but I have to have more time to think about it." ”

Link laughed and said, "I'm just a suggestion. The decision is yours. ”

He paused and said, "As you know, I will reach a certain agreement with the banks of those consortiums. They will no longer target you in a short period of time, on the contrary, they may be able to support you. You can take advantage of this time to join forces. ”

"Fren, I make this suggestion without the idea of wanting to take full control of Stoll. Link said very sincerely to Fren. "Although I own half of the shares in Stoll, I know that Stoll is yours. I guess you could talk to Neil about how the two of them will divide the control of the funds. How the two sides divide their labor. If the two parties agree on the approach, the decision on whether to merge or not is up to you. Whether it merges or not, I won't touch Stoll's funds, and we're still the same partners as before. ”

"OK, I'll think about it. I'll get back to you in a week. ”
