He sent someone to look for it, and he really found many surprises, as far as the high-end real estate in Beverly Hills is concerned, it is generally around five million, and tens of millions are among the best in terms of area and luxury.

Judging from the impression of future generations, these mansions in prime locations, with large courtyards, swimming pools and tennis courts, who will not be 50 or 60 million or even higher in the future?

Now it is only about 10 million US dollars, which is generally three or four times larger than the land occupied by tens of millions of mansions and other houses, and the word "cabbage price" came into the mind of the Sheikh, and the hesitation disappeared.

What to rent? Buy it directly! Even if he doesn't necessarily come to live for a month a year, but enjoyment is the first thing, not to mention that it is very close to Hollywood, and the second is that he is still in California, and the future is indispensable to invest in the Internet here.

He has $4.43 billion in his pocket, although he borrows it and must make money, no one will object to the chairman using 50 or 60 million to maintain the ...... High-speed business brains, right?

With a slap in the face, he sent Amir out.

The best thing to buy is that he has his eye on a 15,000-square-foot (1,400-square-meter) villa in colonial style with a private garden and tennis court.

In terms of selling price, it is $15 million, which belongs to the top of the pyramid, although it is not cheap, but the Sheikh believes that after the subprime mortgage crisis has passed a few years, its location and land occupation will determine that it will still quadruple or five times.

No matter how bad it is, the sheikh also enjoys the treatment of a big villa, and there are many things for the trenches, they don't care about the book loss, and they feel that it is not worth it in their hearts.

……

The next day.

The business trip ended successfully, leaving only four bodyguards and two retinues, and the prince exchanged for a short time to change into casual clothes and choose to drive to Los Angeles.

The road between Vegas and Los Angeles is a popular road trip, and the scenery along the way is not very beautiful, but it can take in the scenery from a desolate desert to an oasis city.

American pop music was playing in the car, drinking very civilian coffee, talking and laughing to the destination, but also let the Sheikh feel the essence of self-driving travel.

It took half a day to get to Los Angeles, and it was not in vain to see the name of "big countryside", but it was more than half an hour of continuous bungalows, and it was only when I lost patience that I came to the bustling area.

They arrive at Beverly Hills, known as the world's most exclusive community, a mansion concentration camp with a variety of luxury villas and celebrities.

In the middle of the appreciation, the mobile phone rang, and Sheikh picked it up and answered: "Hello? ”

The call came from Farsher, and he brought good news: "Apple has some minority shareholders who want to sell their shares, about 16 million shares, are you interested?" ”

"What's the ratio?" Sheikh is not very good at math.

"About 2.25 percent, the acquisition is expected to be worth $800 million or more, but this money cannot be invested directly in the name of a foreign company, which will be subject to government scrutiny."

"How?"

"Our lawyer suggested that the process could be bypassed by doing it in the name of a U.S. securities company and then by acquiring shares in a U.S. business."

In the eyes of the Sheikh, Apple is a short-term income tool that can be thrown away before the economic crisis, and when the stock price falls to the bottom, it can be restarted, and wait for the rocket to appreciate, so he said: "Let's meet at a time." ”

"No problem, I'll take someone to California in two days." Farsher is still in New York and has agreed with him to meet at some times.

"Well done!" Sheikh put down the phone comfortably, looked up at the sun overhead, and although he had been driving all morning, he was still in a very good mood.

Seeing his emotions high, Scarlett also wondered, "What's so happy?" ”

"I'm going to buy a whole bunch of great value apples!" Sheikh smiled, looking for the street signs around him, "It seems to be around here." ”

"Apples?" Scarlett didn't understand what he was saying, and Apple was still focused on selling computers, and it couldn't be imagined of the terrifying potential of mobile phones.

But her attention was not on this side, and her eyes searched the lush buildings on both sides of the road, and the Sheikh found his destination: "This is it!" ”

The view from the outside is not visible, and it is blocked by a two- or three-meter-high plant fence and large trees, but after the car passes through the gate, the scene in front of it suddenly opens up.

A colonial-style building is square and symmetrical, with large windows that use a lot of glass to absorb the sun.

Bypassing the circular fountain and stopping in front of the door, Amir stepped forward to open the door for the lady and said to his master: "The second floor of the house has been cleaned, and the first floor and the backyard are expected to be completed by 5 p.m." ”

"The house is pretty nice." Sheikh looked up in admiration.

"Let me see inside." Scarlett ran ahead and pushed open the two doors of the house, and the luxury of the house came at her.

"Wow!"

The floor is luxuriously paved directly with ebony, and there are handrails on each side of the staircase leading to the second floor, and a crystal hanging chandelier in the center is like a waterfall flowing down, which is absolutely gorgeous and colorful when opened at night.

Scarlett cheered and went to the second floor to choose a room, Sheikh didn't go upstairs, went straight through the hall, pushed open the door to the backyard, the green grass was fragrant, the flowers were pleasant, and a square pool spread out in front of him.

"The tennis court is at the back of the garden, surrounded by greenery, and the air is very fresh." Amir smiled and introduced, "There is a banquet hall and a bar on the first floor of the house, which is specially designed for you to hold parties. ”

"Good."

Amir continued: "But we still have a shortage of cooks, servants, and will be hired locally, you see? ”

"It's up to you." Sheikh didn't bother to think about the details, after being hot in Dubai for so long, and running to Vegas, which was as hot as Dubai, now he finally came to the cool Los Angeles, the pool was in front of him, and his heart was already flying.

……

Two days later.

The tennis court is playing a showdown between Sheikh VS Scarlett, but he is dressed in sports and has a short skirt that is exposed. Legs, camisole can't cover the. Cow, the lure in the eyes of the Sheikh. Confusion is greater than the threat of the opponent.

He hit the ball at a tricky angle, making the opposite Scarlett scramble, chest. He staggered and ran to intercept the ball, but it was still a little late, and although the racket hit, the ball hit the net.

"Haha! You're so slow to react! ”

Seeing her clumsy and cute appearance, Sheikh couldn't help laughing, and Scarlett on the other side was embarrassed and angry, and threatened: "Don't do this next time!" ”

"Okay, listen to you as you ask to be on top." Sheikh didn't forget the flowers on his lips, and Scarlett gritted her teeth and wanted to pinch him a few times.

At this time, Amir came running: "Your Highness, Fasher has arrived. ”

"Got it." Sheikh looked at Scarlett across the street, "Let's pause, I'll go meet up with a friend." ”

"It's too hot, I'm going to go swimming." She's also tired of playing.

Amir led him to the house.

"Fasher."

"Your Royal Highness." The other man nodded at him.

"Feel free, don't be so polite." Sheikh found a place to sit down, and after a few words of greeting, he asked about business: "Then can we cooperate?" ”

"Yes, after we offered a premium price, Apple's shareholders who were not optimistic about Jobs' development in the communications field were willing to sell some shares."

"It seems that Lao Qiao is not very popular." Sheikh thought about it, they were the ones who kicked out Jobs in the first place, and now they are the ones who are invited back, and it is estimated that there are disagreements on the development of the mobile phone field.

Of course, I am willing to sell so many shares in one go, and the most important thing is that there are local tyrants "taking over", and the premium given by Farsher is higher than the rise in stocks, and the shareholders who are in a hurry to use the money are of course moved.

The Sheikh also had a question: "How many shares do we have in total after this acquisition is completed?" ”

"At present, this investment is expected to be 800 million US dollars, and if it goes well, the total shareholding ratio will reach 2.8%."

Statistics of the shares acquired in the past and now, the total cost of one billion dollars, although not too high, but its stock price is growing steadily, is favored by many parties.

The stability and growth of Apple's stock can determine the higher loan rate when it is decided to use the stock pledge loan. The Sheikh had no intention of investing in Apple and was holding on to a billion-dollar stock.

Lending to high-quality stocks is the essence of making money, and this billion worth of stocks should bring it half of the loan ratio, which means that there will be $500 million to borrow.
