**************
If the economic center of the world is New York, then the essence of New York is of course in Manhattan, and the Upper @ East @ district of Manhattan is, of course, the center of the so-called center.
This is the best of America, but it is also the land of anointing, and almost all of the wealth of the United States flows here.
There is the world-famous Wall Street, and in the vicinity of this street, there are also many world-famous large banks and investment institutions.
And next to this center are countless kinds of public relations firms, law firms......
There are some of the most powerful people in the world living here, and there are also many living legends, whose words can determine many people's jobs, so in the eyes of many people, this is a place full of miracles.
But Jin Muchen, who has lived in New York for several years, has a sneering attitude towards those so-called legends, and in his eyes, those tycoons who are packaged on TV and magazines are extremely glamorous, and make countless whites envious, almost 99.9% of them are vampires.
So here, he rarely came here, except when he first came to New York, when he was still full of curiosity about this place, he also came back here to take pictures, to Wall Street to touch the cow, but later, after learning most of the truth, he rarely came back to this place.
If it weren't for Harvey's invitation, he would definitely not have come to this place on his own initiative.
Harvey works for a law firm called Pearson & Speight, and its clients are the big investment banks on Wall Street. and those large companies that are well-known in their respective industries.
They are nominally law firms. But it's more like a broker. Walk between investors and owners of industrial companies, match the two sides, and negotiate investment financing, or sell equity, or acquire and merge business contracts.
The company is well-known in the New York business world, and its location is on the 57th floor of the Gracie Building.
As soon as Jin Muchen entered this floor, he was taken into Harvey's office by the beautiful waitress at the front desk, looking at the beautiful scenery of the @East@ district outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. Jin Muchen said to Harvey, who came over with a smile: "Oh! Looks like you're a good boy, aren't you? Barrister, I didn't expect you to have your own office so soon? ”
He didn't mean to compliment, not to mention that Harvey's dad is the majority shareholder of the company, but if you want to establish yourself here and have your own office, it's definitely not an easy task.
Xavi has only been with the company for about a year, and he has already achieved what he is today, which definitely shows his ability.
And Harvey, who was in a suit and leather shoes, put his arm around his shoulders and laughed. Gently punched him in the chest: "I'm only an assistant solicitor now, and I'm still a long way from a barrister." ”
"Yo he. What a rare humility you have! ”
Jin Muchen smiled, then sat down, Harvey beckoned the female front desk who brought Jin Muchen in, brought two cups of coffee to the two of them, and then simply greeted a few words, and got to the point.
"I came to you this time because I have these projects, and I think you will be interested. Well, here's the information on those projects, you can take a look at it yourself. ”
Harvey said as he pulled out a few files from his desk, which were not very thick, and pushed them over to Jin Muchen.
Jin Muchen's files began to read carefully.
Looking for some suitable investment projects, in fact, he has already had an idea, after all, the money in his hand is not small, and with his superpowers, he does not need to use too much money when looking for antiques in the future.
He has enough ability to satisfy his treasure hunting needs, and as for the tens of millions in the bank, they are of little use except for enjoying life, which is not the work of a shrewd person.
After all, the money is put in the bank, and it is also for the bank to take out and invest, rather than giving it to them for nothing, it is better to invest it yourself, in that case, the income may be greater.
And his project in Italy is about to start, and once the construction starts there, it will be two years at the latest, and it will bear fruit.
Those funds also need to find a suitable way out, and it is obviously not a wise choice to put them in the bank.
And his roots in New York are still too shallow, don't look at the fact that he is friends with the mayor now, and he knows a lot of celebrities in New York, but compared to others, his influence is too small.
Think about it some time ago, an FBI agent, just unwarranted suspicion, dared to come to his own trouble, if he was a shareholder of a large company, would he dare to do that?
So now compared with money, what he lacks more is social influence, and now many rich people in the United States are also well-educated, and they also know the truth that wealth is not exposed, but in terms of social influence, people are not stupid.
What do you think those billionaires are for often attending some charity auctions or donating?
On the one hand, in addition to hoping to get the government's tax cuts, on the other hand, of course, in order to increase social influence, with fame, those strips in the future, before moving you, will polish their eyes.
And when you become famous, you will really enter the circle of high society, you will meet many influential friends, and once the network is launched, then you will be able to stand firm here.
And to achieve that goal, just by being a famous antique dealer, that is not enough.
You have to have other routes, such as having some well-known and influential companies, which are the key to your rapid upgrade of your network.
Jin Muchen took the materials handed over by Harvey and began to read them carefully.
The first few were only glanced at a few times, and they were thrown aside by him, these are investments in electronic technology, they are all small companies, and a few are even made by students, all of which are garage companies.
The creativity is good, most of them are developing some mobile phones or car application software or something, but in Jin Muchen's opinion, the potential is limited.
Harvey couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw that he hadn't looked at those investment projects at all.
"What? Not interested? ”
"No, how could it be, in fact, I plan to invest in all of these projects."
Jin Muchen's words startled Harvey: "You don't plan to take a closer look?" ”
"Haha, it's nothing, don't worry, my friend, I've probably seen it all, these projects, at most, add up to only a million dollars of investment, not a big project, I can afford this money. Although I don't know much about electronic technology, I have seen most of their projects, most of which are related to smart cars, and there are several ideas in the Internet of Vehicles that are very good. I'm not sure they're all going to be successful, but if one of these projects succeeds, then I'm going to make money. Once there's a success, I think the next step, you know better than me, you don't have to go out of the way, you will take the initiative to contact the publisher, help them list on the NASDAQ, hype up the concept, and then package and sell their company to Google, or Microsoft or something, haha, by that time, I'll make a lot of money. Ten thousand thrown in, millions, even tens of millions exchanged for ......"
Jin Muchen's words made Harvey stunned for a moment, and when he finished speaking, Harvey stared at him for a long time.
"It's a shame that you guys are in the antiques business, and if you finish college, I guarantee you'll get a job on Wall Street that pays more than a million a year."
Harvey's words were obviously complimenting Jin Muchen, Jin Muchen's mind was very serious, and he knew that he was not the kind of material on Wall Street.
"Come on, Harvey, I don't envy those guys. You see, how about an annual salary of millions? Do they make more than I do? And if I am my own boss, I will never have to worry about losing my job, but they are different. ”
"Haha, that's right, in fact, Wall Street is the fastest moving and obsolete area. Well, without further ado, you keep watching. ”
Jin Muchen continued to flip back, and soon several projects were picked out by him, but these projects were different from the previous ones, and he didn't plan to invest in them.
Although Jin Muchen is not a student majoring in finance, he still has a very accurate grasp of the general direction of world economic development.
In fact, before he came, he had already made up his mind, and this investment was mainly focused on some specific directions.
For example, he does not plan to invest in traditional manufacturing, which is basically saturated now, and the manufacturing industry in the United States does not have many advantages.
Like Boeing, or Lockheed, IBM, such a relatively high-end American blue chip stocks, he doesn't want to play, investing in such companies, not for returns, generally to maintain stability.
And companies like Google, or Microsoft, are basically the same, so what he is looking for is the kind of company that is small, in the embryonic stage.
This kind of company has to be the kind with small investment and quick results, and it is mainly concentrated in the more popular Internet of Vehicles software applications, or the future of medicine.
Soon he was attracted by the two documents in these investment plans.
After a careful look, these two projects should be said to be financing applications, and they are somewhat related to his previous experience, because the applicants for these two financing plans are actually his teachers when he was in Columbia, and one should be his senior brother.
He looked at the two plans to apply for financing more seriously, because he had heard of the fame of these two people, and when he was in school before, he was a big man. (To be continued......)
