Chapter 398 Getting Involved in Finance
An Feng made several important phone calls, and the meeting place that has not yet been determined this year was chosen by him. For the focus of the consortium's industrial field, of course, there is weight in speaking. In addition, An Feng usually does not take the initiative to socialize, but this time he took the initiative to invite, and everyone was interested.
After determining the location with a few bigwigs, inform Brandon of the matter. An Feng plays the role of putting forward requirements in the whole process, and other how to implement and what details will be improved. After explaining, he was free to do what he wanted, very leisurely.
He was relieved, but the pressure on the manor's service team was not small.
In the guest list that An Feng provided to Brandon, the guests invited were very well-known, including many wealthy businessmen, some of whom were leaders, and even the name of the President of the United States. This is going to be announced, and the gathering of many big names will definitely attract a lot of attention.
This guest list also affirmed the social status of the owner of the manor, both the housekeeper and the maid were very surprised, An Feng gave them the impression that he was relatively low-key, and the family also invited guests, but the number of times was very small, until after settling in the manor, there was a high level of reception activities.
The Middle Eastern royal family received a few days ago reflects his social circle, this time it is a rich businessman and dignitary, and even the president has to come to the door as a guest, and it is a kind of conversation to say it, but Brandon solemnly reminded the servants that this is a private party, and it is strictly forbidden to reveal any rumors.
Brandon's style is very rigorous, and he has seen a lot of big scenes, although it is not as exaggerated as it is now, and the guests who come to the house are either princes and nobles or the president of the country, but after experiencing a lot of things, the scene can't help but be difficult for him. He studied the list and then went to plan a formal drinking party.
The housekeeper carefully plans the details, including the consideration of the vehicle the guest is travelling in, the order of arrival. As a housekeeper, Wu Qian also took the most rigorous attitude, and let the servants practice for the scene of the free drinking party in her spare time, striving to achieve the super five-star service standard.
Wu Qian was a little nervous, they were going to entertain the president of the United States, and the mysterious tycoons who were still ahead of the president on the list. There is no doubt that this is a top-level social circle, even as waiters, they feel that their faces are bright, and the low-key Mr. An gives them a great shock.
……
It was not only the manor that prepared for this party, but An Feng's assistant John also put a lot of thought into it, even ordering several sets of his wife's dresses and jewelry, just to ensure that nothing went wrong, because he knew better than anyone else what the guests were capable of.
As An Feng's closest assistant. Over the years, I have naturally known his circle of friends, and there is no doubt that the people who deal with him are people who can influence the country: huge conglomerates and big families that dominated the country a hundred years ago. And now, he's going to be involved in that circle.
He was excited just thinking about it, this is a real high-level, even if he is now a rich man with an annual income of one million and a dividend of nearly 10 million, but compared to those people, I am afraid it is nothing. The blessing of To'an Peak. He's where he is today, and he's happy with the status quo.
He knew what kind of assistant An Feng needed. Brain intelligence is still secondary, the important thing is loyalty, a brain is not smart, but you can spend money to hire countless smart heads, once loyalty is gone, the collapse is all. John went on the boat after the Ann Peak. Just keep that in mind.
In fact, he is very smart and knows how to grasp the backer of An Feng. Being a personal assistant seems to be a part-time worker, but he is more nourishing than some corporate CEOs, and he did a good job last year, and his financial investment is very profitable. The team prize money is tens of millions, and he is already impeccable.
After some preparation, he and his wife Mary were dressed that afternoon, the children had been hired to take care of them, and he had calculated the distance from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara, and he had better be on time, the bigwigs could be late, but he obviously couldn't make a score.
"Relax, honey!" John's wife, Mary, told John, who was walking around the living room, that she had actually looked in the mirror several times in a row.
"We'll see President Anderson tonight." John said expectantly, "If I could, I'd like to have a picture with him, my parents would be very proud of me!" ”
"You will." Mary said with a smile.
John nodded, raised his hand and looked at Vacheron Constantin, who was worth a lot of money on his wrist: "Let's go, counting the possible traffic jams, let's be early." ”
John drove his newly bought Tesla, and there was a Maserati GT in the garage, which he ordered after watching An Feng's race last time, more than 200,000 US dollars, which is not a problem for his income class, and only in this way can he be worthy of the million-dollar mansion in Santa Monica.
Los Angeles is not far from Santa Barbara, about 100 kilometers by Highway 1, if you drive quickly, you can do it in an hour, he drove faster in the first part, soothing music played in the quiet Tesla, and when he arrived in Santa Barbara, he slowed down.
Follow the GPS prompt to the address you got earlier, enter the private road, there are black-clad bodyguards checking, John took out his mobile phone, opened the electronic invitation, scanned the bodyguards with serious expressions, and after confirming that the information was correct, they were let go and drove into the manor according to the instructions.
"It's spectacular!" Mary's gaze swept across the flat ground, and her vision rested on the ivory-white building, the red glow of the sunset adding to its imposing momentum.
"It's remarkable." John also looked at it a few more times, but didn't let the car stay in the lane for too long, drove the car to the parking lot according to the street sign prompts, and found a place among the luxury cars, it seems that this time they are not the earliest, for this important party, someone has already advanced.
After getting out of the car, they went to the main entrance of the building and walked up the steps of the red carpet, where they were received by a white waiter.
The waiter led them into the house, walked to the left, pushed open a three-meter-high door, and entered the main banquet hall.
“Wow!” A small sound came from Mary's mouth.
The luxury and gold of the main banquet hall greeted you, and the lights on both sides of the walls glowed with golden light everywhere, and the huge ceiling painting overhead brought a sense of solemnity and sacredness, and your feet stepped on the brown wooden floor, and you joined the surrounding guests, admiring in amazement.
It wasn't until someone came in front of them that they came back to their senses. When John saw the comer, he said, "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Ann! ”
"Hello, John!" An Feng stretched out his hand and shook it with him, looking at the woman next to him, "Presumably this is Madame?" ”
"Yes. Her name is Mary. John smiled, "This is my boss Ann, and this is his wife, Dame Joanna from England." ”
"Hello!" Mary shook their hands as well, "You are so pretty, ma'am. ”
"Thank you!" Joanna had a friendly smile on her face. She was really dressed up tonight. The body is a golden yellow dress, the designer uses multi-layer creativity, the innermost base is noble ivory white, the middle layer of the main color is yellow, and the outer layer of light fluttering yarn is shining gold, with the golden environment here, she seems to be the most noble queen of the cocktail party.
After shaking hands, Joanna invited Mary to the lady's circle, and An Feng asked the maid for a glass of wine. Walk over to the wide window next to it and talk to John about some business. The main thing is to consider using part of the leisure funds for financial investment, and it is to play with the consortium.
An Feng is an industrialist, dealing in tangible goods, and has little contact with finance and economics, because he is not good at and does not understand, but this time he is very sure - because his side plays a key role, and he has also understood. The consortium engaged in the financial field has played well.
This is not an ordinary game, they have a lot of means. The most common is "long and short selling", such as the fall in Intel and AMD stocks, which made ten-figure money from a consortium of investment banks as GP launched desktop processors.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, the consortium has opened a lot of plug-ins in the financial field, and since the day GP was established, this kind of playing with funds has not stopped. These people have made a lot of trouble on Wall Street, and it is estimated that they have made a profit of 30 to 40 billion yuan so far.
That's why An Feng owns most of the company's shares, and they don't mind it - in fact, they just need to make sure that the company is controlled by a consortium, that the buying and selling of tangible commodities is done normally, and that the financial sector is united. The money earned is higher than the net profit of several enterprises under An Feng.
An Feng has a lot of spare money, and the recent companies have not spent much, and the cash backlog is serious, so he wants to join the financial investment of the consortium, and he doesn't expect to make much, and the return on investment of one billion dollars can be about 15%, but I heard that they have played two or three times the billion before.
An Feng chatted briefly, and then said, "Later, you will talk to a few friends with me and analyze the risks and benefit probabilities of participating in their cooperation." ”
"I'll do it, sir." John said that he is a major in this area, and he has also taught himself a lot in recent years, although he is not as good as the top brains on Wall Street, but it is more than enough to provide references, and it is not him who really uses his brains, but the behind-the-scenes team of those tycoons.
There were a lot of guests who participated in this private reception, and the spacious main banquet hall was easy to handle, and with the continuous arrival of heavyweight guests, the atmosphere of the reception became more and more enthusiastic.
The politicians are more close to the people at the scene, and the other big chaebols are very low-key and have their own circles, and it is obvious that around An Feng, a group of bigwigs are commenting on the layout of the main banquet hall, and there are laughter from time to time, and the atmosphere looks very harmonious.
The housekeeper of the manor came to John's side and whispered a few words, he put down his wine glass and hurried to An Feng's side.
An Feng was talking: "Gentlemen, please come with me!" ”
Everyone followed him out of the main banquet hall, pushed open the ivory white door and came to the golden corridor on the left, the crystal chandelier above his head glowed with golden light, and the curtains around him were also faint gold, luxurious. They toured the halls along the way and finally sat down in the well-stocked study.
An Feng talked to them about financial investment.
"I remember inviting you before, but you weren't interested," Bazel said. ”
"In the past, I invested in a lot of projects, and I was busy with industry and had no spare money." An Feng said, in fact, it is lazy. "I have a lot of idle cash this year, investment is suspended, and other investments have not been effective in a short period of time, and I am very interested in seeing that your business is improving."
"We don't want to be short of money." Austin said, "The warm-up activities are still relatively profitable now, and you can join if you have any extra money." ”
"Warm up?" An Feng was puzzled, still warming up after playing so big?
Matthew leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs: "They have big goals, such as some weaker financial consortia. ”
An Feng feels so confident, but to be honest, it is not impossible, the real economy has accumulated huge funds and advantages for the consortium, and in the financial field, the development of the consortium is not weak, the two-pronged approach, the energy of the outbreak is absolutely terrifying, no wonder it is a warm-up now.
