Each of the 52 states in the United States has a governor and corresponding senate and representatives. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoConsidering that not all legislators and governors have been able to reach the end of their terms of office for a hundred years, there is a change of governor and legislature in the United States every year. From the local to the central, from the state legislature to the Capitol Hill establishment, from the tabloids everywhere to the Washington Post media, all politicians live a very lively day every day.

For some economically developed continents, even if they are geographically far apart, they are still closely connected.

The most likely candidate for governor in California was Peter Wilson, who had repeatedly failed the bar exam, and the news spread to New York State with great speed. As for the root cause of this news, it is because many people saw him and Alice Wang have an intimate conversation for 20 minutes at a Republican gathering.

Of course, East Coasters have always liked to be high-profile about what's happening on the West Coast, especially New York natives, who are eager to show their superiority from every angle. One has to admit that Peter Wilson has found a big patron for his governorship, and if the entire Alice Building is mobilized, his approval rating will definitely outweigh his opponent by five percentage points.

But if it is a race for governor of New York, and of course a Senate race to DC, it will still have to rely on the traditional Wall Street forces, not her super big new money with a Chinese background. Look at how many skyscrapers there are in Manhattan, how many of the world's largest enterprises and financial institutions, although she Alice Wang is very fanning in California, she has to pretend to be a grandson on Wall Street!

This kind of thinking will be fine until at least May.

It wasn't until that big news in the real estate world that it finally passed its incubation period.

Vanda & Co., a company founded by Alice Wang, registered in London, England, has acquired a large vacant land between the south of Midtown Manhattan and the north of Downtown in a stunning move. This involves the company's inherent assets, bank loans, institutional venture capital, and the cooperation of celebrities and luxury companies to buy shares, the total amount of capital is huge, and the purchase of land is extensive, which is rare in the entire history of real estate in Manhattan.

So the question is, what is Vanda going to do when it suddenly buys such a large piece of land that borders it?

Unlike the current real estate bubble in Japan, which is visible to anyone with a discerning eye but hidden from all Japanese people, the U.S. housing market fluctuated by only 10 percent in a century, that is, during the Great Depression in the thirties, when it fell by more than 20 percent. Unlike the situation in Eastern countries, real estate in the United States is really just a financial commodity, and no one will go bankrupt and spend a lot of money, and naturally there will be no bubble effect.

Therefore, this amazing investment by Alice Wang is naturally for the sake of making money in the financial field, but as many people expected next.

Demolition.

Then, the New York Times officially published an article that construction began on Manhattan's Vanda Plaza, with plans to build 21 skyscrapers to usher in the 21st century.

During the morning rush hour, before work, during lunch break, and after work, many office workers and business executives have the habit of reading the New York Times, and this matter will be widely known in less than a day.

Whether it is an ordinary office worker, a corporate executive, or even a more senior wealthy person, everyone's first reaction after seeing this news is all surprise. Building twenty-one skyscrapers in Manhattan, what is this concept!?

Of course, of course, billions of dollars in real estate investment is not a staggering amount for a truly large group. Just like the famous real estate tycoon in recent years, Donald Trump, in addition to running his own real estate empire, he also bought a single building in Manhattan as its headquarters, and it was once the tallest building!

But being able to do it doesn't mean that someone will do it, and it doesn't mean that others shouldn't be surprised when this kind of news comes out. Especially since this news is not an old qualification consortium, but a super upstart on the West Coast, Alice Wang!

Just think of Donald Trump, the celebrity who spends his days in New York circles. After graduating from university, he worked for a real estate company founded by his father. Although he assisted his father in managing the business every summer during his four years of college, he did not want to stay in Queens, New York City, where his life circle was narrow, and preferred to move alone to the bustling and lively Manhattan, where he met many rich and powerful political and economic celebrities in the high-class social circle. Facts have proved that this is indeed of great help to him to develop his real estate career in the future.

In this way, he took charge of his father's real estate company from 71 years ago, and at the age of 34, he was quite famous in New York. As of 1990, his personal fortune has reached $1.7 billion. Even if there is an element of inheriting their father's business, the real role it plays is also visible to the residents of Manhattan's Upper East Side.

All right.

Personal assets of $1.7 billion, do not worry about how much shares they occupy in the company.

Compared to Alice-Wang, I don't know how much worse, not to mention the comprehensive assessment, Microsoft and Cisco can take out one at random, and their shares can completely blow up Trump I don't know how many streets.

They are all the top upstarts who started their own businesses in Manhattan, and they are all real estate, and the residents of the Upper East Side can't help but sigh after just a brief comparison. Trump has inherited his father's business and developed local real estate full-time for nearly 20 years, and then he has a real estate empire and worth of such a scale now. But look at Alice Wang, who just started her business in May six years ago, and just started to set foot in the real estate industry last year.

If this Manhattan Vanda Plaza is really built, its individual value will be almost equal to that of the entire Trump Organization......

Initial surprise and envy, and then very quickly, the stage of understanding and analysis is reached. According to this big news, the media itself and many people in the industry have also relied on their own channels to do a reverse investigation. After all, not everyone will always be following the news in the Manhattan real estate world, and they will only be aware of the latest changes in the field when the news is officially published.

Cashing out some of the shares was the first step for Alice Wang to raise money, but it was by no means a big sell-off, and that little bit was insignificant compared to her overall share of Microsoft and Cisco. But thanks to the booming growth of these two companies in recent years, hundreds of millions of dollars in cash are easily available.

Then there are the loans, based on the potential that has skyrocketed over the years, and the Wall Street banks were happy to pay for them as early as she built the Alice Tower, and it turned out that the upstart girl lived up to expectations. So when she decided to build in Manhattan, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and even Standard Chartered and UBS couldn't resist jumping in and trying to get her to offer some interest on the loan.

It is not surprising that the principal, plus the loans in hand, will attract more investment from institutions and celebrities. Not everyone can check the information so carefully, but anyone who can find it can easily dig out from the information which bigwigs are behind the names of certain institutions and people.

Lockheed has invested, don't look at its market capitalization, but the profit margin of arms sales is the highest in most industries. Some people in the industry have speculated that if the YF-22 bids hit, Lockheed would definitely be able to make at least 50 million net profits from each one of them -- this is all cash. Since Alice-Wang can say that such a rich lord can throw three or two hundred million at will, isn't it enough to make her satisfied?

At a certain point, every big move must be well planned, and many people quickly came to the conclusion that Alice Wang was going to make a massive march to the east coast.

The company registered in the UK is not only Vanda, but also the umbrella, the pharmaceutical company that is selling miracle diet pills, although it has not even been established for a year, but many people are looking forward to its launch. For both of them, it is natural to directly cross the Atlantic Ocean and settle a branch in Manhattan, and this is a real century-old industry!

So soon, invitations were mailed across the Great Central Plains from the east coast to the west.

"These things are ...... every day"

When Monica held the latest batch of letters in front of her, Alice didn't raise her head and said, "Just handle it as usual." ”

"In fact, there are many high-end forums in which you still need to participate, so are you sure to destroy them all?"

"I don't have time to be one of those courtesans who spend all my days intertwining, Monica, and give me college-funded programs. ”

Monica nodded, then stepped back, and then soon stepped forward.

Alice sat in her office chair and stretched lazily.

Then he turned his chair and faced the floor-to-ceiling glass window behind him.

In fact, after watching it for a long time, it is better to look down on Manhattan from above.

Los Angeles...... It's a princess of peace.

With nothing to do, Alice begins to consider the similarities and differences between herself and traditional Silicon Valley people. In fact, it's very simple, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon, everyone is basically a technician, and it is inevitable that they are all dyed with some world-changing ideals. The classic words of "I didn't think about making much money, I just wanted to contribute to mankind, and I made it out of nowhere" is theirs.

But Alice asked herself, she was a real big capitalist.

What I want is to see all the mountains at a glance.

So, the overlook of Los Angeles is really not very pretty.

"But all day long drinking and chatting with the Upper East Side gentry...... Haven't I been sick in the past two months?"

It's rare to have such a concentrated social interaction in the past five or six years, but it has annoyed her enough.

"Oh, it's actually normal, after all, I'm a technical genius, standing with a group of middle-aged uncles and gossip girls, I can't talk together at all. ”

After a few complaints, and then it was over, Monica walked forward with the plan she wanted.
