Chapter 460: A New Goal—Spending Money

On Boeing 747 flight London to Washington, Alice was silently busy in the first class seat. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

A single plush sofa is an intimate space, and a square table in the front row can be used to store many personal items. There were only ten passengers in the entire cabin, and they were all high-end business people, no one bothered anyone, everyone was doing their job.

Time flies, especially since Alice also passed the final exam early. With Christmas just around the corner, she could have taken a stroll around Washington before finally flying to Los Angeles.

If you want to talk about the direct purpose, of course, it is to meet with Lockheed. The long, regular e-mail exchanges, though they only took up a fraction of her time, could give the arms dealer a lot of guiding advice. When Alice agreed to the offer to help develop the new gunpowder, the reply was as fast as a second.

As for the fundamental purpose, of course, it has something to do with what she has been thinking about these days.

Entrepreneurs develop their careers with a goal. The purpose of many small and medium-sized entrepreneurs is simply to get rich, but when the scale rises to a certain level, they will produce a higher level of ideals - unless the founder's spiritual level is too low.

As ordinary entrepreneurs, they don't know how far their company will grow, and the impact and contribution of their business to society is only theoretical. So, they just try to develop, and then they are ecstatic about every progress in their career.

But Alice knows exactly how far the business she has created and invested in will go, and so far, the game she can lay out is basically perfect. After all, the nineties have not yet arrived, and the new industrial layout has not yet begun, and in this idle space, she really needs to find something to do for herself.

Yes, find something to do for yourself, and there is a more central problem in this - even if the 90s arrive, and she sets up and invests in Google and Yahoo, then what?

And then there was no then. In the 90s, when the Internet bubble arose, Cisco, Microsoft and Intel took the lead, with a market value of more than 400 billion. Then the bubble bursts, the industry reshuffles, Google and Facebook they rise again, and then they are bala bala......

That's nothing more than that, at most, counting the rise of Huawei, Vanda and Wanda...... That's it, huh?

There's no sense of expectation, really, no sense of expectation at all.

If in the past, Alice needed to rely on the prophet of history to make money, but now, it seems that it is not necessary to change history?

After all, the reason why she was able to earn this money was not only due to foresight. The establishment of Cisco, Microsoft's shareholding, and the establishment and development of many companies have also relied on their own hard work to support it.

People who have real skills, why should they always sit and wait for the historical trajectory to coincide?

Joining forces with Li Ka-shing to form a pharmaceutical company umbrella is her first initial attempt at a "new business", but she has no idea how far this "umbrella" will develop.

If it was just an achievement like an industry leader, with a precedent in Silicon Valley, she actually didn't have much interest. Therefore, the development of this new company, her idea is to take a step by step, of course, it is best to be "awesome", but if it is "only" a leading level, it doesn't matter, it depends on what can be gained on the "I virus".

At least with the current diet pills, after they are introduced to the market, they can already make the "umbrella" become an "apple", right?

And then what?

Umbrella is an attempt, a challenge to an uncertain future based on new technologies. So do you reverse the situation, set a clear goal for yourself, and work hard for that goal?

In order to allow arsenal ships to appear on the stage of history, in order to solve those technical problems that have not been solved in history, and to develop their careers in a targeted manner for them in the reverse direction -- is it full of motivation?

So, what to do?

"Phew, after making so many billions of dollars quickly, it's time to throw money. ”

At this moment, while the plane was still flying over the Atlantic, she picked up the amazing big brother and made a phone call to the other side of the world.

Soon, a respectful greeting came from the other side in Japanese-English: "Hello, Miss Alice, is there anything I need to serve?"

Alice glanced around, the nearby passengers were also doing their own business, and she didn't bother anyone.

"You might as well speak Japanese. ”

That R and L accent is a real headache.

"Give me a summary directly, what price will I be able to sell for the buildings I invested in Ginza in the first two years if they are all sold now?"

It turned out to be such a question, and on the other side of the phone, the property developer suddenly became excited. You know, the money he can earn from the client is not just the commission when buying, because when the client sells the property, he can also get a good income from the buyer!

"I'll check it out for you right away, do you need the result now?"

Alice leaned back in her chair and clipped the phone to the side: "I'm free now, I'm sure you won't be busy for five minutes, right?"

That was natural, and the property developer immediately watched the computer and calculated. The name of the customer, the property purchased by the customer, the current market value of the unit and the total amount of assets, these information can be found instantly!

After all, the real estate boom in Japan has been going on for a long time.

After a while, the voice on the phone rang again: "Miss Wang, your purchased assets in Ginza are as follows, a high-end commercial building, and a high-end apartment residential building......"

"Tell me directly how much I can sell. ”

"Twenty billion eight billion! twenty billion eight billion dollars, Miss Wang!"

Hearing such an astronomical number, Rao is Alice couldn't help but straighten her back.

What is it?

Two billion eighteen?

"That's so much?" she said, surprised, "I remember when I first bought these houses, the cumulative amount was ...... $1.2 billion? It's a year...... Two years...... More than doubled?"

Recently, Alice's career has made Alice no longer care too much about the appreciation ratio of Japanese real estate, but when she suddenly hears so much money, who can not be shocked?

"Exactly, Miss Wang. ”

A property developer in Tokyo looked at the computer and said, "Your down payment is $400 million, and then the installment payment business will total $1.2 billion." This is your ...... year"

"Okay, I see. ”

Alice stopped the Japanese man babbling on Japanese sentences.

Originally, I wanted to buy and sell the house and cash out.

But since it has been doubled from 1.2 billion to 2.8 billion......

Alice picked up a new copy of Fortune magazine at the table.

The current richest man is, of course, occupied by Sam Walton, who ascended to the throne in 1985 and has been guarding it for many days.

Flipping through the list, "Fortune" did list her in the top 100 list.

Hawkers, you know, Alice's stake in Microsoft is second only to Gates, and she is also the owner of Cisco, and there are a lot of messy investments. So when it comes to her position in the rankings now, although she is not in the top 10, she can still ride on Gates' head......

Billions...... I don't feel a number when I look at it.

In the rankings, her current position is relatively high, but it is not too exaggerated, because although "Fortune" has counted her gains in the "87 stock market crash", it will inevitably miss this one of Japanese real estate.

After all, no matter which database, there is a question of the source of information. Her actions in the stock market crash are very easy to inquire, but the fact that she is not interested in buying a few houses in a foreign country is too embarrassing.

The concept of celebrity is very diverse. The people on the Forbes list are, of course, celebrities in a certain field, but when it comes to popularity, there may not be a second-tier Hollywood star who is more widely known. After all, the general public will be interested in the top 10 super-rich, but how many will memorize the entire list of 100 people?

At this moment, Alice silently swept the list of the world's top 100 richest people listed by Fortune, which is such a feeling.

For someone like her, who has risen in just four or five years and spends most of her time in school......

It's a long list, and there are few people I know at all.

Hawkers, sit back and wait for the 90s to come to the big reshuffle.

"That's ......"

After a moment of silence, Alice said on the phone: "Sell all these houses, and the details will be discussed later, you prepare first." ”

With that, ignoring the property agent's ecstatic exclamations, she quickly hung up the phone.

Although it is not the best time to withdraw funds, I am not short of the seven or eight billion.

The current price of 2.8 billion yuan, discarding the original loan of 300 million, and then repaying all the amount of the installment payment, can finally earn 1.6 billion dollars in cash.

$1.6 billion, in cash.

Alice moved her fingers.

It was still 1988, the Japanese economy was still taking off, a large number of international investors had bought houses in Japan, and Japanese businessmen had also bought houses in the international market.

It is believed that it will not be long before the Rockefeller Center will be bought by Mitsubishi.

Well, and then they sell at a loss......

Phenomenally, the amount of investment during this period is very staggering, but it is basically based on the company.

After all, while many people are confident in the potential of the Japanese economy and the benefits of the real estate boom, this is also a venture after all. Getting companies to pay is the limit, and the rich will not take such a big risk to throw a large amount of personal cash into such a hole.

Not to mention Alice's exaggerated behavior.

$100 million in principal, $300 million in loans, $800 million in installments......

Therefore, the greater the risk, the higher the return. No one dared to make an investment decision, but it was played by Aili without any psychological pressure, and then ......

"Headache ......"

After hanging up the phone, still sitting in her seat, looking out the window at the vast Atlantic, Alice muttered.

"The reinvestment company will pull it down, and it will be tired to death. But to say that all this money is spent by ordinary means...... I'm so old, I'm going to have to plan for it. ”
