Later, An Feng also learned some insiders.

The Sinclair family was well-known at the beginning of the 20th century, and the family business was very happy, accumulating a huge amount of money, and once had its own bank when the capital was at its strongest, ready to operate across fields, but then closed down due to poor management and concentrated on the energy field.

After the eighties and nineties, Sinclair's assets reached a considerable scale, and they had the ability to support the operation of the consortium, both economically and politically strong, so they tried for the second time, but due to the difference in family management concepts, even if everyone cooperated well, they still could not keep up with the rhythm of modern consortiums.

If you want to continue to grow, you can only change, especially when you encounter a God-given opportunity - An Feng's technology is the door to wealth opened for them, energy, chips or medicine, as long as the three aspects are properly coordinated, it is easy to develop into a behemoth.

According to internal statistics, 92% of GP's shares are owned by the consortium, and GP controls two super-profitable subsidiaries, which is simply a tailor-made money-making machine for the consortium...... After a few days of discussions, everyone agreed to work closely together.

In fact, it was mainly the Sinclair family who nodded, and everyone else was easy to say...... Because the prosperity of the consortium depends largely on this family, whether it is money or connections, as long as they are there, the foundation is strong enough. Only in this way can we develop at full speed without worries.

They first have to get the Yuntong company, and the consortium holding the financial group is symbolic, which means that the consortium can have a huge source of funds, and the internal circulation of funds is no longer a problem. Unlike other companies, when they run out of money, they can only borrow money from banks or raise funds from the society.

The Sinclair family invested more than 10 billion yuan through several subordinate companies this time, with a market value of 100 billion in Yuntong. The acquisition of 10% of its shares, together with the shares of other members of the consortium, eventually reached 50.5%, which is already fully owned by the consortium. This completes the first step of expansion.

The acquisition of Amex also relieved the Bruine family, which owns 35% of Amex shares, and turned around. I was almost dragged to death, but fortunately I stopped in time. After doing this, it is the circulation of internal funds. As a "personal family", Anfeng does not fortify him with all projects.

He used his right to look through everyone's information for the simple purpose of being curious about how much money they had, but it was difficult for non-financial professionals to understand the pile of account books. Anyway, the total assets of the consortium are more than one trillion, but it is meaningless to talk about assets alone, there are hundreds of billions of assets and a large number of companies with a market value of only one or two tens of billions.

To measure the value of a listed company, market capitalization is the key.

In addition to the listed ones, there are also many unlisted companies in the consortium, many of which are confidential, especially those of the Sinclair family. I don't know if I don't look at it, this look. No wonder they say that they are actually a family consortium that lacks banks. After An Feng read the information, he sighed that they were really rich!

Anfeng's data is Hardy. The custom team led by Locke estimated that because of the epoch-making nature of GP, it is currently around 80 billion temporarily, and if it is disclosed to Forbes, he will be the richest man in the world without suspense. That's a lot more than the 70 billion in second place.

It's a pity that the "richest man in the world" now has hundreds of millions left in his pocket, and the cost of changing the world is astronomical. It costs hundreds of billions to build a spaceship, to say the least. So when his personal assets exceed one trillion yuan, it can also be said in another way, when he is rich enough to rival the country, he can do things happily.

But also a little consolation - the consortium. The consortium can provide a lot of funds to Anfeng, and it is no problem to raise tens of billions in an emergency. The consortium has to be stronger and richer to be able to implement An Feng's plan - now that he has figured it out, it is difficult for him to carry the burden on his own.

Let him make so much money, even if he is hanging, it will take the year of the monkey to do it. But it would be easier for everyone to contribute together and get money from the consortium – although they may not know what An Feng was going to do with the money. But to mitigate the chain-like effect, he won't say.

But there are some things that can't be hidden.

For example, An Feng's beverage company has a plan, although he has repeatedly said that there is no prospect, but they are all his own people, so he has to invest some funds to help.

Originally, it was normal, but after An Feng opened the price, the capitalists realized: there is material in it.

Matthew said to him with a smirk, "We have to talk!" ”

An Feng can't help it, just talk about it if you want to...... In a restaurant in Los Angeles, Matthew and Anthony sat across from him and went deep into the content.

Matthew asked, "You mean, it's more than just a drink?" It also has the effect of improving physical fitness and reducing fatigue? ”

"It's easy to understand beverages, but it's actually biotechnology." An Feng said, "If you want to try it, I'll send you a few bottles." ”

"You're amazing!" Matthew was surprised and said, "I wonder if you have a 24-hour machine in your head, buzzing around." ”

An Feng smiled, obviously it was a joke - but he was right.

Anthony is more realistic: "According to your idea, even if you accept our venture capital, you have to pay at least 16 times the price?" ”

An Feng nodded: "According to its future market, 16 times will become 160 times or even higher sooner or later." Even from the moment you talked to me, I changed it to 100 times—"

“100？ Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Both Matthew and Anthony expressed their displeasure.

An Feng smiled: "Of course, since I told you that it is at least 16 times, then I will not change it." But as a word of caution, it may not be profitable for a year or two, and its effect is slow, which is enough to consume a lot of money and patience, and even make your investment go for nothing. ”

Both of them are seriously thinking about it, and now they are spending money everywhere.

Matthew asked, "What is the minimum to start?" ”

"100 million." An Feng said with certainty.

In the end, Matthew gave up: "Let's talk about it next time, I still have a cooperation with you and a pharmaceutical factory, I'm afraid I will have to make a lot of money." ”

An Feng can understand: "Of course, it mainly depends on you." ”

However, Anthony had intentions: "Maybe my family can give you a sum of money, but it will be a month or two later, and after a few arrears are recovered." ”

An Feng thought for a while and agreed: "No problem." At 16 times the price we negotiated, how much are you going to take? ”

"About 20%." Anthony said.

An Feng said: "It's really a lot, you just believe me like that?" ”

Anthony smiled and said, "Venture capital! Before that, not many people believed that graphene chips, super batteries, or cures for cancer. ”

"Okay, you can get some samples. Boost your confidence. An Feng said.

……

This negotiation is not bad, although a little stake is ceded, but as a core member of the consortium, I just said that I will share interests a few days ago, and I will eat alone at this time...... That's not how bad rules come about. Especially if everyone is very optimistic about him, if they trust him, let's sacrifice a little. Anyway, you can use the resources of the consortium yourself, right?

In addition to talking about accidents, the three of them also talked about other things, such as the recent hot presidential campaign.

Anderson's popularity is high. With guaranteed votes in California and Texas, the populous states, he has a big chance of winning, and it's October, and the referendum election is in November, and citizens are casting their votes, and the final result will be confirmed by December.

Matthew said of what happened after the election: "If Anderson is elected, the Republican Party led by him can bring us a lot of convenience, including oil." in the financial sector. In particular, new energy infringes on the interests of many people. We have to be careful of our opponents at all times! ”

An Feng asked, "Is it those oil fields?" ”

Matthew nodded: "Of course, some people want to put pressure on us to make additional investment from GP Energy or simply go public and issue shares, and in the month that Tesla and GP Energy signed the contract, Bazel blocked the two oil partners' requests for benefit sharing, and the relationship was a little stiff." ”

An Feng was stunned. His life was peaceful, but he never thought that GP Energy would face so much trouble, and even a consortium wanted to buy shares at a high price...... But most of what Matthew said is positive, that is, relying on relationships to get some benefits, all of which are above board.

As for the secret. Honestly, no, after all, you are a representative of the interest class, and why not Sinclair? Those who dare to play like this will offend not one person, but a class. It involves the most fundamental rules of the game, and it is only low-level means to fight and kill.

In short, with consortium giants in the way, and a strong political force, GP's development path will be very stable, and with its current market share, it is far from facing anti-monopoly. However, the future is uncertain, but they are already planning and preparing for this.

After chatting for a few hours, everyone left together.

None of them noticed that a camera was pointed at a black Camry parked on the street opposite the café, and from walking out of the café to getting into the luxury car that picked them up at the door, a series of actions were taken several times one after another, and even the license plate was recorded.

The photographer looked at the effect, was very satisfied, and left the car in a low-key manner.

An Feng and Matthew were in the same car, ready to take Matthew to the airport. An Feng said: "Flying around all day long, not thinking about buying a house locally? ”

Matthew said: "I have this plan, especially in the future, the focus will be on the west, but we will have to wait until Catherine graduates." ”

"She'll graduate next year, right? What university are you looking for? ”

"Not sure for now, but we respect her opinion and interests." Matthew said, taking out the vibrating phone in his pocket and answering it, and his brow quickly furrowed.

"Find out!" Matthew's voice was a little stern.

Seeing him put down the phone, An Feng asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The bodyguards found that someone was secretly filming us, and I don't know who we are, and we are said to be a bit like gossip reporters, but we are not public figures."

"Maybe it's the super-rich!" An Feng said.

Matthew shook his head: "The invasion of privacy and portrait rights alone is enough for them to drink a pot, and no one dares to joke about the privacy of the rich!" ”

An Feng thought of Aegis Security: "Maybe my subordinates can handle it." ”

Matthew glanced at him and nodded: "For the time being, I'll let a bodyguard stay and cooperate with you." (To be continued......)
