Raffles Hotel Singapore. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a short break, Tang Bao directly invited Mrs. Annette to meet at the hotel. Mrs. Annette was surprised when she received the notice and hurried back to the hotel.

"Tang, you are really low-key enough, you didn't even notify me in advance!" As soon as Mrs. Annette saw Tang Bao, she complained slightly.

Low profile?

Tang Bao's face was speechless, he really wanted to keep a low profile, and he wanted the outside world to treat him as a transparent person, but God didn't follow people's wishes. Looking back at what happened in the last year, holding private parties, hey-hand attacks, shorting the Japanese stock market, buying Universal Pictures, buying Warner Bros., investing in Brazil...... Actions that are a little bigger have almost all been exposed and hyped by the media without exception.

"Oh, Don, don't be unhappy, you have to learn to adapt and enjoy this life. You have to understand that many people dream of standing under the flash of the media and do not hesitate to sell themselves for this. "Mrs. Annette understands Tang Bao's character and naturally understands Tang Bao's distress.

"Well, I'm in business, not an entertainment star." Tang Bao said helplessly, "I can't afford this kind of enjoyment." ”

In fact.

Tang Bao knew in his heart that he had been promoted to the second richest man in the world at a young age, and he was a Chinese with an unusual background, and every action was destined to attract the attention of the media. He's not an entertainment star, but he's more newsworthy than those entertainment stars.

Mrs. Annette smiled and said nothing. There was no point in discussing the topic, and she was sure that Tang Bao knew how to deal with the reporters.

"Mrs. Annette, I am in a hurry to come to Singapore this time, mainly to settle and count the income from shorting Nikkei stock index futures!" Tang Bao said bluntly.

Because of the continuous restrictive measures introduced by the Japanese government, Tang Bao has long ended his investment operations in the Japanese futures market. But investment in Singapore has not stopped.

"I'm guessing you're here for that, too. Statistical earnings can be made at any time, it's simple, but do you really want to just stop it? Currently, the Nikkei is hovering around 23,000 points, and it is estimated that there is room for decline in the coming months......" Lady Annette reminded.

23000 points......

Tang Bao groaned. In the previous life, Japan's stock market crash lasted until 1992, when the Nikkei fell to more than 14,000 points.

The room for decline is huge!

However, this trend spanned two years, during which the Nikkei index did not fall in one direction and the magnitude of the shock was extremely large.

"Hmm. Settle and count the earnings first, and whether to continue to operate Nikkei futures will be discussed later. Tang Bao made a decision.

Mrs. Annette replied with a smile, and then called to convey the order to settle the statistical gains.

……

About an hour later, the results of the statistics came out.

Belch.

Mrs. Annette was stunned when she got the accurate data. Everyone understands that shorting Nikkei futures this time will make a lot of money, but before the statistics, there is no clear concept. Now, the final investment returns are out, and she herself is shocked!

"Huh? How...... Could it be that you're in trouble? Seeing that Mrs. Annette fell into a trance after answering the phone, Tang Bao said with concern.

Mrs. Annette fell into a stupor, and was not awakened until Tang Bao asked out loud, hurriedly adjusted and sorted out her emotions, and then said solemnly: "Yes, I encountered a tricky trouble. Don, I think you're going to have a lot of headaches next, how can you use the money you've earned! ”

"Uh......" Tang Bao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Mrs. Annette, I have the impression that you have always been a serious person, but I didn't expect you to joke too." ”

"Nope. Don, I'm very serious and no kidding. Lady Annette said.

Then.

Explaining in detail, "There are four parts to investing in Singapore. In the first part, I entrusted the Development Bank of Singapore to sign a Nikkei put option in the OTC market, making a profit of US$6.17 billion, in the second part, Wang Shuo's investment made a profit of US$7 billion, in the third part, I was personally responsible for the investment, which made a profit of US$24.63 billion, and in the fourth part, the amount of funds transferred by Legge from Japan was too large to be used effectively, and only made a profit of US$7.5 billion. The total revenue is $45.3 billion! Counting the original principal, the funds left in Singapore are as high as more than 90 billion US dollars. ”

"Hmm."

Tang Bao nodded calmly, $90 billion was only half of his gains in the Japanese stock market, so Tang Bao was not overly excited.

"Don, did you hear that? That's $90 billion, why don't you even have a look of surprise? "Lady Annette couldn't stand Tang Bao's calm.

"Huh. Lady Annette, this is to be expected, and I am not surprised! Tang Bao replied.

Forehead.

Mrs. Annette was slightly stunned, she couldn't help but recall the confidence and calmness when Tang Bao decided to short the Japanese stock market, yes, she had already been confident and expected the result, so why be surprised?

"This time, a total of $37 billion was invested in Japan and Singapore to short the Japanese stock market, with a total gain of $233.5 billion. External investment was US$2.4 billion, including US$350 million from the Ink Fund, US$2 billion from the Kuwait Investment Authority, and US$50 million from Alwaleed. Tang Bao said.

"$233.5 billion! Don, you have hit the Japanese financial markets too badly this time. Mrs. Annette couldn't help but sigh. Singapore's income was as high as 45.3 billion US dollars, and Mrs. Annette thought it was enough, but she didn't expect Tang Bao's harvest in Japan to be even more amazing. More than 188 billion US dollars, the looting is really ruthless, and she is a little sympathetic to Japan.

"Hey, hey. The Japanese stock market was not suppressed by me, and I didn't have the ability to do it, and without my intervention, the Japanese stock market would have fallen miserably......" Tang Bao said.

……

"I intend to return the outside funds. Well, in terms of the ink fund, the commission that should be charged will be waived! Tang Bao said with a smile.

"It's good to return external funds. I don't know what you're doing with your earnings in Japan, but the money in Singapore, even if you return the external funds, is still more than $70 billion. How to allocate the more than $70 billion is a headache. Lady Annette said.

Kate was also speechless, thinking, "Many people are struggling with how to make money, and the boss is having a headache with how to spend money." The world is crazy! ”

"Singapore's financial market is well developed, and futures, foreign exchange, bonds, etc. are actively traded, but the more than $70 billion in funds is too large, and the slightest wind and grass will trigger a strong reaction in the market. There is no way to hide the traces, and the Singapore government probably will not tolerate us mobilizing so much capital to stir up trouble in the financial markets...... It is imperative to diversify the allocation of funds. Lady Annette said.

Well.

Tang Bao nodded silently. More than 70 billion US dollars, not to mention Singapore, even if it is placed in the US financial market, it is an astronomical amount.

Let alone.

In addition to the more than $70 billion, he has nearly $40 billion left in his bank account and $100 billion in ready-to-cash yen government bonds.

I really feel very distressed when I think that I need to invest all these funds, and at the same time, I finally realize why China had a headache for a large amount of foreign exchange reserves in my previous life.

You can't do it without money, but it's also a worry to have too much money. Tang Bao never thought that he would express such a feeling one day.

"To be honest, I haven't thought about how to use these funds effectively. Mrs. Annette, what investment advice do you have? Tang Bao asked with a wry smile.

"It depends on what you have attached to it." Lady Annette said.

"Requirements? Since it is an investment, it is natural that the higher the investment return, the better! Tang Bao was slightly stunned, and then said as a matter of course.

"Don, you have to recognize a reality. In the capital market, it is difficult to make 10 billion dollars with 100 million dollars, but it is not impossible to achieve. But if you want to make a trillion dollars with 10 billion, it must be a dream. When the capital reaches a certain scale, it will face various constraints, and the investment income will decline. Mrs. Annette reminded helplessly.

Seeing that Tang Bao did not refute, he continued: "In fact, when the wealth of the rich accumulates to a certain extent, the most important thing is security, followed by inheritance, and then preservation and appreciation. Just looking for value preservation and appreciation, you can imagine how low their pursuit of investment returns is. Of course, I'm not trying to advise you to give up the pursuit of investment returns, but I just remind you that you have to think more holistically than just investment returns. Safety, inheritance, value preservation and appreciation...... Well, given your particular situation, dispersion and concealment are the top priorities, and I don't think you want the outside world to know that you have a wealth of more than $200 billion. ”

"That's right, you're right, hidden diversification of asset allocation is what I need to focus on." Tang Bao very much agreed with Mrs. Annette's analysis.

The assets he revealed were enough to shock the outside world, and if they were all exposed, he didn't know what kind of sensation it would cause.

Especially in this sensitive period of European and American sanctions against China...... Tang Bao, a Chinese who has revealed more than $200 billion in hidden wealth, is difficult to predict.

"Stocks, bonds, real estate, private equity funds, hedge funds, art, precious metals, etc., all invest a certain percentage." Lady Annette said.

Well.

Tang Bao nodded secretly.

"Even if you make the decision to diversify your investment, it is not easy to fully allocate more than $70 billion in assets." Lady Annette said.

"Well, after removing the returned funds, I won't take a penny of the remaining more than $70 billion, and I'll hand it over to you for investment allocation. Strive to achieve concealment, dispersion, security, value preservation and appreciation. Tang Bao decided. He has nearly $40 billion in cash and $100 billion in bonds, and when all his real estate in Japan is sold, he is estimated to receive more than $10 billion...... The cash was so abundant that he had a headache about how to invest.

"Leave it all to me to invest?" Mrs. Annette was surprised.

Tang Bao replied affirmatively, "Yes." More than $70 billion, all under your control. There is only one request, to keep it secret! ”

"Well, it won't disappoint you. I can't guarantee anything else, but it's absolutely no problem to maintain and increase value and keep it private......"

Tang Bao smiled and nodded, he dared to hand over the responsibility to Mrs. Annette, naturally believing her.

"I'm in a bit of a hurry, I can't come up with a detailed investment plan, so I can only briefly describe the asset allocation ratio I calculated. If you feel that you have a problem, you can ask it. "Uh...... Investments are mainly in the United States, Europe and Asia, with 50% in equities, 25% in bonds, 10% in real estate, 5% in art, antiques and precious metals, 5% in private equity and hedge funds, and the remaining 5% depending on the situation. Of course, this is only an approximate asset allocation ratio, and there will be some fluctuations. ”

"I have no opinion, you can decide!" Tang Bao said with a smile.

……

Call.

Hearing Tang Bao's affirmative answer, Mrs. Annette immediately breathed a sigh of relief. I think that when Tang Bao hired her as an economic consultant, she was still a little hesitant in her heart, and agreed that she would not really serve as an economic consultant until Tang Bao's total assets exceeded $50 billion. She knew that with Tang Bao's investment talent, it would be realized sooner or later. But she didn't expect that Tang Bao's work was far better than she expected, with total assets far exceeding $50 billion, and even the funds that she was about to manage and invest in herself were as high as more than $70 billion, and she was very excited to think about it.

Annette is glad she made the decision!

"Don, have you planned for the rest of the funds?" Lady Annette asked.

"Hmm...... I don't have a detailed plan, just some ideas, I plan to go to various countries to investigate first, and when I find a suitable one, I will invest easily. Also, I'm going to go to Kuwait to see if I can get into the oil sector. When I came to Singapore, I was anxious to settle the statistical income, and I also wanted to bring a welcome gift to Kuwait. The Kuwait Investment Authority invested $2 billion, and after deducting the 20% commission share, they also made $10 billion. Tang Bao smiled and said his thoughts.

"Do you want to invest in oil fields in Kuwait? Kuwait's oil is state-controlled and inaccessible to foreign companies. Moreover, the situation in Kuwait and Iraq is tense, and there is a risk of war breaking out at any time, which is really dangerous, and it is not recommended that you take risks at this point in time. Annette said in a deep voice. She has been directing short Nikkei futures in Singapore, but she has also been following world news.

The Middle East is the world's oil depot, and every move has attracted the world's attention. Anyone who follows international news knows that the situation in Iraq and Kuwait is tense.

"Huh. I know that there is a risk, however, the negotiations between Kuwait and Iraq have not broken down, and the probability of a sudden outbreak of war is low. As you said, it is very difficult for foreign companies to get their hands on Kuwait's oil fields. But in this special predicament, coupled with the 'big gift' I brought, I think there is still a certain opportunity. Tang Bao said with a smile. It was mid-July, and difficult negotiations were going on between Kuwait and Iraq, and he would recall well that the negotiations between Kuwait and Iraq broke down on 1 August, and the following day Iraq invaded Kuwait and quickly occupied the entire territory.

Traveling to Kuwait now seems to be very dangerous, but there is no danger at all......

"This ...... If you think about it this way, it's a rare opportunity. If you can successfully obtain Kuwaiti oil fields, it will undoubtedly be a huge gain for you. After all, considering the current international environment and your identity, you are making large acquisitions in European and American countries, especially in some key areas...... I'm afraid there will be difficulties. Lady Annette said.

"Yes, I have concerns about that, too." Tang Bao said with a wry smile, international sanctions and technological blockades, it can be expected that as long as his acquisition target has a certain technology patent, I am afraid that the acquisition will face certain obstacles. There is nowhere to spend any money, this may be the distress that Tang Bao is about to fall into. (To be continued.) )
