After the three-day race, it was a celebration.

The location of the party was chosen based on the principle of proximity, right at Ann's Winery. The owner of the winery is An Feng, but at present, An Feng's sister and brother-in-law are in charge, and they usually live here.

In fact, if you ask An Feng about the process of winemaking, he promises that he will make a mistake.

The winery organized a banquet, where several winners of the contest celebrated, and because the children were present, only a little wine was drunk, and the rest were open-air feasts, in a very free style, a few children ran and ran on the lawn, and the adults found a place to sit down, eat something, and chat.

An Feng looked at everyone: "The holiday has come, do you have any plans?" ”

Matthew reminded: "Staying in the United States at the end of June, we have something to discuss. ”

"What's the matter?" An Feng asked.

Matthew said: "When it comes to investment, other friends will come, and the location is yours, so it's best to plan your vacation after July." ”

"I know." An Feng nodded, and Matthew didn't say much to indicate the importance of the matter.

In recent years, the consortium has developed rapidly, both economically and politically, and has exerted its strength at will, and the competing enterprises in the United States have gone through the stage of decay and replacement. Bazel told him that his opponents who had conflicts of interest are now either bankrupt or facing a desperate situation.

In the process, the U.S. government also facilitated the consortium.

The reason is simple: while business competition will bring down many companies, the government is unlikely to attack the Texan consortium – because they bring far more economic benefits than the eliminated companies, and they will be chosen both from the perspective of profit and the survival of the fittest.

Therefore, the current capital of the consortium has expanded more than ten times and dominates one side.

After An Feng determined the time, he continued to discuss the holiday plan with them. Alice came running at this time: "Dad, we want to go to the island for the holidays." ”

"On the island? Sardinia? An Feng said.

Alice nodded: "Yes, Harry and William have promised to go, shall we go there to play?" ”

An Feng said: "But we still have a plan to go to China in July." ”

"June, July......" Alice read silently, looking up happily: "Dad." And August! ”

An Feng suddenly smiled: "You decided it yourself for your friends, right?" ”

The little girl looked back: "Harry, William, do you want to go?" ”

"I think." Harry and William spoke in unison.

"Daddy, look." The little girl said.

An Feng said: "You have to discuss this with their parents, if you have time, it's no problem." ”

"Okay." Alice ran up to Matthew and sold cuteness: "Don Sinclair ......"

Matthew, as the child's godfather, also watched her grow up and learned these tricks: "You don't plan to leave me room to refuse, do you?" ”

"It's been a long time since I've seen Sister Catherine!" She opened her eyes wide and said, "Uncle Matthew! ”

"Okay, okay." Matthew smiled and nodded.

……

At the end of June, there was something important, and An Feng stayed in the United States first.

At the beginning of the month, Anfeng also had some activities, he and Joanna went to Las Vegas to participate in a jewelry show. The invitation was sent by Miranda, and in this regard she was always after fashion. In the same way, jewelry is also a luxury consumption favored by ladies, and various big brands or new talents appear every year.

This year's location was chosen at the Mandre Bay Hotel, where jewelers from all over the world will appear, and in addition to the theme of jewelry, there are also some watches. However, it is mainly jewelry, and there are many exhibitors. From big names like Cartier and Tiffany & Co. to some lesser-known designers.

Even An Feng walks in it and is attracted by the colorful jewelry. Not to mention a woman who is beautiful by nature and has no resistance to bright colors. An Feng and Roger have become foils, they just go to swipe credit cards and drink champagne, and the ladies are responsible for the same kind of trying.

Later, he was really bored, so he was exiled.

Find a place to sit nearby, I walked with them for two hours just now, and my legs are weak.

The hotel's casual meal ordered a refreshing drink. Chatting about the holiday, An Feng said: "Now that there are three children going, do you want to join?" ”

"August?" Roger asked.

"That's the plan, but we'll have to see everyone's time." An Feng said

"If nothing else, we'll go too." Roger said. "I miss the pristine beach there, you really bought a good place!"

"Adventures always pay off." An Feng said with a smile that he has made great efforts to transform the island into a top resort area, which is currently appreciating in value.

Then someone came to them.

An Feng raised his head and stood up: "Hey, Guli, long time no see!" ”

"Long time no see, Bruce!" Guri gave him a hug, then shook Roger's hand, said hello, and sat down again.

"You're a security contractor?" An Feng looked at Guli's outfit, white shirt and black suit, unless it was to talk about business, tourists would not wear it like this in this weather.

"That's right." Guri nodded and asked the waiter for a cup of coffee, "I'm busy with business, and it's hard to catch my breath." ”

An Feng said: "What is there this time that will let you get on the horse in person?" ”

"There are always people who are adventurous," Guri said. ”

An Feng understood, there must be big fish. Now Aegis Security is already a multinational enterprise, with branches in South America, the Middle East and Africa, a bit inclined to military contracting, but it is mainly a private security business, and it is very rare to engage in a set of mercenaries, but the US government has given a contract.

Guri is a technical elite, who is also the company's general counsel, and belongs to the high-level, he mainly targets some technical crimes, such as the possibility of jewelry theft, the insurance company that accepts the jeweler's insurance trusts Aegis Security, and hires them to take care of the security this time.

But looking at Guli's calm appearance, it shouldn't be a big problem, An Feng didn't ask much, and changed the topic: "How is Liana lately?" ”

"It's okay, it's just not used to being at home." Guri said that the environment can change a person, and this guy is now about to become a father, and Liana is his wife, who used to work as a technical analyst for the company, a typical office romance. Later, he resigned and waited at home to give birth.

An Feng said: "I want to walk more, I have time to come and stay here for a few days, and learn something from Joanna, her experience is very helpful for pregnant women." ”

"I will." Guri said, taking out his phone and looking at it, "I'm sorry. I've got to get some sort of business. ”

"Go get busy." An Feng nodded.

……

Visiting a jewelry show and visiting other places is fast.

At the end of the month, the important members of the consortium gathered here in Anfeng, and there are many advantages of choosing this place, such as a large area and security measures in place, so you don't have to worry about being eavesdropped or monitored. Although holographic communication has been developed, they are still accustomed to talking face-to-face on some important matters.

All the important members of the consortium were present. A day ago they were scattered all over the world.

There was no talk in the house, and everyone chose to hang out in the backyard together. From the artificial lake to the lawn, the mouth is also talking about the scenery and play, Anfeng and Andrew are talking about yachts, Bazel and Franson are talking about horse racing, and Matthew and Austin are talking about raising tigers.

"The early training has to be detail-oriented and frequent, just like a pet dog. The habits developed during this time have a direct impact on the future......" Matthew gushed as they crowded into Santa Barbara, a city of so many rich people. It's easy to influence each other.

There were very few people at this gathering, but they were all central, and every decision could affect the whole group, the usual cooperation, the direction of the big moves, the raising of funds, and so on. They can use offshore accounts to close deals quickly and conveniently without going through the bank, without even knowing it.

The decisions of this group of people have a wide impact.

For example, in the past few years, Anfeng has made financial investment profits, and Anfeng has continued to invest and participate. In the end, the profit was nearly 20 billion. It feels like finding a place to put the tens of billions of funds in your spare time, and after a period of time, the interest will be as high as 20 billion. Not to mention the commodity economic aspect, which is crushing.

Bazel left the horse race: "After the Democratic Party is in power, we can't be as free as we were in the Anderson administration, according to the current development trend, the behavior and accumulated funds in many areas are on the cutting edge, the risk is too great, we need a way to digest ......"

Anderson's two terms have passed, in line with the law of the emperor's turns, this time is the Democratic Party in power, although it is impossible to cover the sky with one hand, the United States is not a one-party dictatorship, but the initiative is in the hands of the other party, and the operation of the consortium is somewhat gray, they have killed so many opponents, bulging their own pockets but causing a blood debt. Being a Big Mac isn't easy to mess with, but being too high-profile is also troublesome.

"Our group has an important role to play in economic recovery, and it would be better if the new president didn't know how to do it," Austin said. ”

To say that the greatest credit of the Anderson administration is to make the US economy develop upward, but what is criticized is that it has not grasped the changes in the international situation. Opponents declare in public that he is in fact the spokesman of the big capitalists, how conspiratorial and dark, disgrace the American hegemon, etc.

Although it is not clear where the source of the naysayers' claims comes from...... But that's the way it is.

The Anderson administration is less personal than in previous sessions, acting more like speaking for a group and serving them, but the benefits are so wide that the rival party, even if it knows the facts, will not bring humiliation on the strongest aspects of its opponents.

So even if you catch the sore spot of the consortium, you can only play superficial work, and the consequences of tearing your face are very serious.

But they are clearly accustomed to lawlessness, Matthew said: "Have a hedge fund and target North America and Europe, and behind the prosperity, the relationship between the two places is like a thin piece of paper that can be broken at the slightest poke." The euro is booming, the dollar is bound to fall, and this leverage will be interesting. ”

Andrew laughed: "If you do this, no matter how tough the waist is, you have to bend down." ”

An Feng does not have a deep understanding of the economy, but he also knows that the world economic growth is not a superficial form, some of it is artificially controlled, and when an economy can't withstand it, it will collapse, such as the Asian housing market, housing prices have plummeted, and financiers who short the housing market will definitely make a lot of money.

Or, as Matthew puts it, with the apparent prosperity of Europe today, they can leverage the wealth of the United States. Even if it hurts the American economy, who cares when it comes to money? They are capitalists, and their predecessors in the last century were willing to pour milk into the sea.

The approach to the economy is nothing more than going long, short, hedging investments and the like. Of course, the process is often a hundred times more complicated than the principle, which is the reason why the market value of the RAND Investment Bank is tens of billions, but it can drive trillions of funds, and some people's heads are indeed born for "calculation".

Took a slow walk around the estate, stopping occasionally, and it took over two hours to get back.

The idea of the consortium is to use everyone's funds to find something to do, and the goal is not yet certain, but the matter is destined to not be small, because Anfeng alone can give more than 100 billion funds, plus the leisure capital of the consortium, if you play big, the fund operation consortium of more than one trillion yuan can also afford to play.

And then there is the commodity economy they control, if they perform all-round actions, it is no less than dropping a financial nuclear bomb. (To be continued......)
