Chapter 76: Lam's Foundation (3)
Hongqi Mingshi is based on the old Mingshi business version, after 17 technologies and configurations of the new model is fully upgraded, the appearance is brighter, the details are more exquisite, and the sense of modernity is richer; The interior still maintains the spacious and comfortable characteristics of Hongqi. This car was just launched this year, about 150,000. Lin Jinhong glanced at the Hongqi car in front of him, which imitated the 92-year-old Audi 1oo model, and was generally satisfied, anyway, it was just a substitute, as long as it was not very public.
"How about this car, it's still satisfying, this is what your grandfather chose for you!" The old mother who followed behind, Sun Xiaomei, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and asked with a smile: "Although it is a little dirty, the meaning is not bad, but the red flag car is the car of the national leader!" ”
Lin Jinhong shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "It's much better than two wheels!" ”
"Then you're going to just throw it away when you don't want it, it's not worth much anyway!"
Lin Jinhong jumped abruptly, turned around and said incredulously: "Mom, if I'm not mistaken, this car will cost more than 130,000 at the very least, which is not worth much!" Oh my God, I'm curious now if the Lin family has dug up a gold mine, as if they were a whole mob. ”
Sun Xiaomei glanced at her son, "There are no mobs in the gold mine, and it doesn't look like it, but who just said that he was going to drive a Ferrari and drag a BMW to the streets." Curiosity ** cat is really good. Okay, it's time to tell you about the situation of the Lin family, come with me! Saying that, he turned around and left the parking lot, Lin Jinhong silently followed behind his mother, and the two came to the pool one after the other, and each sat down on a chair.
"Son, do you know about the Lin Foundation?" Sun Xiaomei asked after thinking for a while.
"Is there a fund?" Lin Jinhong frowned, filtered the things in his head, and didn't seem to find the relevant information about this Lin Fund: "I don't have any impressions of well-known funds in China, but I can know a little bit." ”
Sun Xiaomei reminded slightly: "The Lin Foundation is headquartered in Washington, D.C., USA. ”
Lin Jinhong opened his mouth wide for a long time before he said: "It is known as the Lin Fund, another famous large-scale hedge fund after the Soros Quantum Fund. ”
Soros's Quantum Fund, founded in 197o with Rogers, has returned an average of more than 3o% over the course of its 31-and-a-half-year history. Investment mistakes since 1998 have caused significant losses to the Quantum Fund. First, Soros's misjudgment of the 1998 Russian debt crisis and the trend of the yen exchange rate caused the quantum fund to suffer heavy losses, and then invested in the U.S. stock market, and Internet stocks also fell sharply. So far, Soros's quantum fund has lost a total of nearly $500 million, and the vitality of the quantum fund has been greatly damaged. On April 28, 2ooo, Soros had to announce the closure of his quantum fund.
The Lin Fund was established in 1973, only three years later than Soros's Quantum Fund, and the Lin Fund has an average return of more than 24% in the course of more than 20 years of development. The total assets of the Lin Fund are close to the quantum fund before the closure, but the influence is obviously not as good as the quantum fund, and it can even be said that it is a little low-key, if the quantum fund is not closed, not many people will focus on the Lin fund.
Lin Jinhong thought about what he knew about the Lin Foundation, and then looked at his mother: "What does the Lin Foundation have to do with our Lin family, I heard that the chairman of the Lin Foundation is a Chinese-American, and he is not yet fifty years old!" ”
Sun Xiaomei smiled slightly: "Do you know who your grandfather is?" ”
Lin Jinhong felt that his head was not enough, or that his mother asked a question a little too much, to tell the truth, Lin Jinhong knew that his grandfather was a retired cadre in the county finance bureau, and the others were really not very clear, but he knew that his mother must have something to do with the Lin Foundation when he asked this question. He replied honestly: "Isn't it the director of the county finance bureau?" ”
"What about before I became the Secretary for Finance? You can't be the director of the Finance Bureau for the rest of your life! Sun Xiaomei felt more and more that her son was funny at this time, so she couldn't help but ask again, this time she didn't expect her son to answer, so she explained herself: "Your grandfather is the director of the Finance Bureau, it's good, but he has only been the director of the Finance Bureau for six years, and in addition, he has been the assistant to the county magistrate for three years, and the deputy director of the Finance Bureau for three years, which means that he has only been in the officialdom for a total of eleven years." ”
"Let me tell you this, your grandfather was a businessman before he entered officialdom, and he was the kind of businessman who was very successful from scratch. He left home at the age of eighteen and went out on his own, and successively went to many provinces, and before the age of thirty, he accumulated enough experience and capital and established a company. At the age of 33, his company was blocked in the mainland and later moved to Hong Kong, and at the age of 35, he founded the Lin Group, with total assets of more than 100 million yuan. The following year, he moved the headquarters of the Lin Group to Washington, D.C., USA. Later, in the year you were born, he set up the Lin Foundation in Washington, D.C., and when you were six years old, he handed over the Lin Foundation to his son, who has been remotely controlling the Lin Foundation in the United States and the Lin Group in Hong Kong. When he was forty-nine years old, he became an assistant to the county magistrate, and you will know what happened after that, I won't say more! ”
Sun Xiaomei glanced at her son, "How can you listen to your eyes?" Don't you find it hard to believe that an old man in a mountain village wearing a tunic with a fan in his hand would have such a legendary experience! Don't say you don't believe it, even if I hear people say it, I won't believe it. There are not many people in the entire Xinkang County who knows who your grandfather is, but as long as your grandfather stands up and waves, the media in the entire Hunan Province will definitely be crazy, your grandfather has seen two generations of No. 1 people. ”
Lin Jinhong's enthusiasm has not been suppressed, and the sudden news or happiness makes him inexplicably boiling. "So I've been able to get this far, it's the result of my grandfather's operation behind the scenes?" His voice was still a little trembling, even if he was calm in the face of shocking news, especially the news related to his future, it was impossible to calm down quickly.
Sun Xiaomei shook her head: "Your grandfather hasn't made any moves since then, except for greeting Ma Wei and his old friends when he arranged you to enter the Sanxi Town Comprehensive Office." Although your grandfather has seen the No. 1 chief, he also has connections in several southern provinces, and he really can't say anything in Hunan Province, unless he goes to the provincial party committee to report his identity! ”
