Chapter 210: It's all big coffee, unexpected news

There is such a line in "Downton Abbey", where the male protagonist asks the eldest lady of the earl's heir family a question: "How do you make money?" And the eldest lady replied to him, "We don't make money, we inherit money." ”

Feng Lun, chairman of Vantone, also wrote this evaluation in his "Savage Growth": "The nature of money is 'lazy and greedy', and the descendants of the rich will gradually fade out of people's field of vision, they don't want to run around and work hard to make money, but they want to take advantage of it, and they are cunning, and slippery, and they want to run when there is a storm, so the nature of these old money is basically concentrated here, and in the past derogatory terms are greedy, crazy, and timid." And it is precisely because of their existence that there will be diligent, skilled, and well-organized fund managers. A fund manager is someone who is capable, hardworking, and short of money. These people are running around the world on behalf of the old money behind them. ”

To put it in layman's terms, wealth is like a game for old money, and their attitude towards wealth is like listening to Kunqu Opera.

But for new money, wealth is the weapon of its own appreciation, and their attitude towards wealth is like listening to an opera, you have to sit there upright, because abiding by the rules of art is a symbol of wealth for them.

Therefore, when the big bald Ronald Perelman lightly said the production of Bollger RD1975 and evaluated the taste of the other party, he sighed and occupied Roland's heart - maybe others will think that this big bald head is pretending to beep, but for themselves, this is really just a sentence that they are accustomed to, just like the old horse who opened the Guanfu Museum, people grew up playing with these things, and they don't feel that there is anything wrong with their casual judgments at all.

Your admiration is originally our daily life, since it is life, do I evaluate whether the wine is good or not, hindering you?

Of course, the evaluation of the big bald head will not hinder Roland, he has experienced the beating of reality in his previous life, and he will be calm about whatever he encounters in this life - besides, he himself understands better, if he thinks that the big bald head is pretending to beep, then everything he is doing now is the end of this life, and the root of trying to make money is not to live a better life?

Steven Spielberg built a racing track at home for his children, and Bill Gates built a sea shark aquarium at home for his daughter.

Not letting their descendants make the choice of 'not bending their waists for five buckets of rice' is the greatest wish of the founding generation.

And when following the big bald Ronald Perelman upstairs, Kate, who had let go because Roland was being held by the other party, walked to his side again, not only that, but while grabbing Roland's arm, she also used her fingers to quietly write a sentence in Roland's palm - 'let it go'.

γ€Šlet it goγ€‹οΌŸοΌŸοΌŸ

When Roland felt the warmth from the palm of his hand, his head suddenly popped up with the "Frozen" he had told the three Olsen sisters, and it wasn't until Kate pinched it twice that he reacted, and the other party told him to 'don't care'.

Turning his head and looking at the other party's concerned eyes, Roland raised the corners of his mouth, revealing an expression that I was fine.

The small movements of the two people were also caught by the big bald head who just turned around.

The transmission response between them, in the eyes of the big bald head, is simply a mutual discharge between young people.

Maybe it was because he ate a mouthful of dog food, or maybe it was the actions between Roland and Kate that reminded the bald head of his younger self, so when he entered the house, he also clapped his hands, attracting the attention of the guests in the hall, "e on!" See who's coming? Our New York superheroes! And his girlfriend! ”

Although the big bald head is a businessman, and he has repeatedly said that he has never had the experience of love at first sight, in fact, this guy's emotional intelligence is as slippery as his mouth.

You see, his first wife met on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem when he was twenty-two years old.

As he shouted, the guests who arrived first threw all kinds of glances towards the door.

Although tonight's guests are either rich or expensive, everyone is an old acquaintance, and when Carl Icahn, who was leaning on the sofa and smoking a cigarette with his legs crossed, saw the three figures at the door, the old man got up even more familiarly, and walked up to hug Roland very affectionately, "Oh, Roland, you're finally here, let's talk about you here......"

"Jordan's daughter is a fan of yours, and Ivanka has been pestering you to ask about it."

Before the old man finished speaking, Jordan next to him had already come over to shake hands, "Hello, Roland, I'm Jordan Belfort." ”

Although Roland didn't know the other party just by looking at his face, but after the other party reported to his home, Roland suddenly woke up, Jordan Belfort, isn't that the author of "The Wolf of Wall Street"!

Jordan Belfort, nicknamed the king of junk stocks, is the realistic prototype played by Xiao Lizi in the movie, his personal record is extremely brilliant, and the most bullish beep is when the US Securities and Exchange Commission investigated his company, he swept away 12.5 million in three minutes in front of investigators and the FBI, but even if it is an audio or video recording, people can't convict him.

Because he was too arrogant, he was finally sent to prison by the FBI in '98, and "The Wolf of Wall Street" was also written by him in prison.

However, after this guy was released from prison, he turned into a soul lecturer, went to major teaching lectures, and while he made a lot of money, he also told the students to take caution.

Of course, this guy is also Jewish.

"Hello, Jordan." Roland responded with a smile.

"Oh, Jordan, how can you do that? Come up and say hello to Roland by yourself, and leave your daughter alone? And just as Roland and Jordan shook hands, a man with a bald Mediterranean ring also came up, his left hand was very familiar with Jordan Belfort's shoulder, and his right hand took the initiative to reach in front of Roland.

"Hello Roland, I'm Michael Milken, I guess you're no stranger to me, right?"

"Your teacher must have told you about me, if not, then his company can declare bankruptcy tomorrow......"

Michael Milken, the king of Wall Street junk bonds, like Roland's previous dealings with N, Turner Radio and Television Network, all took the funds he raised to develop and grow, and the most amazing record was that in 85 years, he only used 70 million to help Triangle Industries acquire the national cans with a market value of 1.9 billion, and even Murdoch, who wanted to be friends with Carl Icahn, also entrusted various media acquisitions to him when he established the Fox TV Network.

Of course, the teacher he refers to is naturally Steven Spielberg.

When Lucasfilm was developing, the competitors of Industrial Light and Magic were killed by him one by one.

His most classic words are 'I can raise as much money as it costs'.

Similarly, because he was too arrogant, when he fought with the Gulf Oil Company, he raised nearly 10 billion cash in ten days, and played the game of 'who has more money' with the other party, so in 90, he was thrown into prison by the FBI on a bunch of trumped-up charges, but three years later, he was released from prison in 93, although he was sentenced to be banned from engaging in the securities industry, but it is not illegal to come up with an idea!

He is also Jewish.

Although Steven's old man never mentioned him to Roland, if Roland really said that he didn't know, it would not give face, after laughing and hugging each other, a middle-aged man wearing black glasses also walked over, and said familiarly, "Roland, I'm David Shaw, Amazon is bothering you, Jeff called me many times, I really can't find investors to invest in him, and then Ronald said you play the Internet, I let him go to you, thank you, I finally don't have to listen to the report every night." ”

As soon as he heard this, how could Roland not know that the big guy in front of him was the king of quantitative analysis who helped him connect with Amazon?

Holding each other gratefully with both hands, Roland expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart, "No, no, no...... David, I love the internet, I'm interested in the internet, it's not a hassle at all......"

"Really? I'm also interested in the Internet! Before Roland and David Shaw could chat a few words, the ring bald was not too bad, and there were a few hairy guys in the center of the head who came over and inserted them directly into the center, "Roland, do you recognize me?" ”

After carefully glancing at the other party, he suddenly rolled his eyes, wanting to ask for help from the sidelines, and after seeing his appearance, the bald head who had been watching his friend greet Roland smiled and patted the other party's shoulder, and said, "Ryan, don't scare Roland, okay?" ”

"This is New York, Francis (Coppola) is going to beat you up!"

As he spoke, he pointed to Roland and introduced, "Ryan Blavatnik, Aess Dtries." ”

When Roland heard Aess Dtries, he knew who this guy was.

AESS DTRIES is certainly not a well-known investment company, but this company did one thing in Roland's previous life, and that was to buy Warner Music Group for $3.3 billion.

That's right, since 2011, Warner Music Group has not been a subsidiary of Time Warner.

And it is precisely because of this that Roland in his previous life also checked this guy's record.

I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it.

Ryan Blavatnik's AESS DTRIES holds stakes in a number of companies, including Alibaba, Amazon, Facebook, Pinduoduo, ......

That's right, it's the Pinduoduo that fights to buy more discounts.

Although none of them entered the angel round, the other party did not sell their shares in these companies at all.

Not only that, but he is also a Jew who loves movies.

At the same time, he is also a friend of Francis Coppola, who is the Italian mafia every day.

Although the bald Ronald Perelman didn't care about Roland at all before "The Shawshank Redemption" went public, he was still very attentive to today's family gathering-

In addition to Carl Icahn, who has met before, Michael Milken and Jordan Belfort, both of whom are important comrades-in-arms of Carl Icahn when he sniped at listed companies;

And the next between David Shaw and Roland, there is Jeff Bezos as a bridge;

Ryan Blavatnik, who is directly a friend of Francis Coppola, is also a peer;

In addition, there were also Comrade Chuan Jianguo, who had met Roland before and had a daughter who coveted Roland;

and Michael Bloomberg, a key figure in the Donkey Party, founder of Bloomberg, a three-time mayor of New York, who would later fight and die with Michael Bloomberg, a Jew who was killed in the battle for president.

Yes, it seems that the future Michael Bloomberg and Comrade Chuan Jianguo, who is undercover in America, are at odds, but can you imagine that they are friends at this time?

Michael Bloomberg is now a supporter of the Commander-in-Chief, and he gave up his Donkey Party to join the Elephant Party only to run for mayor of New York, and after three terms, he jumped to the Donkey Party.

But this is normal, even the eldest princess and her husband are jumping sideways repeatedly, and the donkey-elephant dispute is just a way to make money in their eyes, and whoever is serious will lose.

Counting Roland, the core number of people in the entire private party is only nine, but the assets of these people are added together, even if they do not experience the expansion after the millennium, their own assets have started to run towards 100 billion.

It's a pity that Warren Buffett, who was introduced to him by the big bald head last November, was not present, and after getting acquainted with it, the big bald head also joked with Roland and explained the reason a little, "As soon as Warren heard that we didn't drink Coke at the party, he refused for a series of unreliable reasons such as busy work, unable to take a break, and really not available." ”

Hearing this, Roland immediately expressed his understanding.

Regardless of whether it is investment or marriage, that old man is doing long-term.

Compared to Carl Icahn, the two of them are simply one day and one earth.

If Carl Icahn wasn't there, the old man might have accepted the bald man's invitation to a meal with his face.

But Karl Icahn was there, and the old man was naturally reluctant to confront him.

When expressing his indifference and indicating that there would be a chance to meet in the future, the big bald head also laughed and introduced the other family members present to Roland and the others one by one.

To be honest, Roland is really very fortunate to have Kate by his side.

He came here today in the hope of being friends with these huge riches, but what happened at the scene?

He wants to be the uncle of these super-rich people, but the wives of these super-rich people directly erase this relationship and want to introduce their daughters as his wife?

I know I'm handsome, but I can't eat handsome!

They are all members of the group!

After Roland greeted everyone one by one, his face was already stiff with laughter.

Not happy, but numb.

On the way to the restaurant, looking at the guy next to him who was about to laugh and cry, Kate whispered, "I'm not wrong, right?" ”

Roland understood what she meant, shook his head with a wry smile, and did not reply.

But Kate didn't let him go, but smiled and continued to ask, "That Ivanka, who is about the same height as you, is the girl who chased you before?" How much has changed in five years? Do you regret it? ”

Since Comrade Chuan Jianguo can come with Carl Icahn, how can his daughter not follow?

As another sign in the family, she is always ready to pick up her father's class.

And in this case, even after five years, becoming Roland's girlfriend is still the fastest way to succeed.

That's right, although Roland is not as rich as these old men, let alone the so-called old money, but if you consider the age that is inversely proportional to the growth rate of assets and the appearance that is proportional to the increase in assets, he is actually the first choice for all young women.

Rich, handsome, and young.

These are the foundations of love!

After all, if it's not for money, who wants to shout husband around an old man?

It is a pity that Roland was not interested in Comrade Chuan Jianguo five years ago, and he will not be interested in it five years later.

"I'm bringing my girlfriend to the party, not my partner."

Roland replied clearly to Kate, "Okay, then I'm going to officially exercise my girlfriend's rights tonight." ”

Well?

Countless question marks suddenly popped up on Roland's head, and he didn't understand what Kate was playing again.

It's a pity that before he could start asking, Roland, who got into the restaurant, lost the opportunity to speak.

Nine cores, a bunch of family members, and a table definitely can't sit down.

And in this case, splitting tables becomes an obvious thing.

The men, or the bald Ronald Perelman's friends, gathered in the dining room on the top floor, where they could look out over the streets of New York from more than 60 million floors, while the ladies, or all the family members, chatted about the topics they were interested in in the side room, and the two camps were distinct and did not interfere with each other.

The guys in Roland's old man's district, from the moment they sat down, their mouths never stopped, it was not Ronald Perelman who said that he ordered a granite statue worth 12 million dollars from a friend of an art dealer, or Carl Icahn complained there, and Steven Cohen, the founder of SAC Capital next door, spent more than 10 million to buy a shark soaked in green formalin solution as a specimen, and put it in his office.

Either Michael Bloomberg scratched his head helplessly and said that the shareholders of Johns Hopkins University unanimously agreed to make him chairman of the board of directors, or Michael Milken took over the conversation and said that he was obsessed with education and could go to Johns Hopkins University to give a lecture and cheat on living expenses......

In short, this group of old men talk about everything, and Roland is not worried that he will not be able to plug in the topic.

But if you really want to distinguish five, six or seven, it is a topic other than business, and they can all talk about it.

Regardless of whether it is art or environmental protection, whether it is praise or scolding, anyway, there is not a word that has anything to do with making money.

But this is also natural, Roland never expected that the guy who could play with the big bald Ronald Perelman would reveal any secrets at the dinner table, in his opinion, the biggest purpose of this time is to recognize people, after the blind blowing at the wine table, everyone exchanges a mobile phone number and it's over, if there is really something, it is to talk about it in private......

However, when Roland drank so-so, said goodbye to all parties, returned to the hotel with Kate, who was also drunk, and beckoned the assistant to get a pinch of apple juice to relieve the two of them, Kate, who was leaning on the sofa, said with a smile, "Honey?" ”

"Huh?" Roland, who had never drunk a few times in his life, leaned there and snorted.

"Did you drink all the time there tonight?"

Seeing Roland's 'aggrieved' look, Kate suddenly crawled over, put her hands on the sofa, and rested her chin on her arms.

With a playful smile in his eyes, Roland was extremely puzzled.

"Except for drinking, it's just chatting, otherwise what else can you do?" Roland shrugged.

In the interval between the conversations between the two, the assistant who had been prepared for a long time also brought apple juice.

He poured two cups, one of which was handed to Kate.

While smelling the refreshing fruity aroma, Roland also asked, "What's wrong, is there any problem?" ”

"Look at you like this, you don't get anything at all?" Kate took a sip of juice, a smile in the corner of her eye.

"Isn't it just a meal tonight? What's in it for you? Roland raised his glass and poured the juice down his stomach.

And after seeing Roland's rightful attitude, Kate poked out the tip of her tongue, bit her teeth lightly, and her face showed a look of 'I had already guessed the ending', "Then what if I say ...... What do I have? ”

"Huh?" Roland didn't understand that when he was drinking juice, his Adam's apple was moving up and down, but it slowed down a lot.

Such a move made Kate raise her eyebrows, and lightly exposed a bombshell news, "For example, Carl Icahn wants to attack Internet companies...... He's eyeing those high-capitalization Internet companies, like, Netscape, Yahoo ......"

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Roland, who was drinking juice, almost choked to death without giving Kate what he said, while coughing, he also put down the cup, first wiped his mouth with the palm of his left hand, and then felt that it was not enough, and rubbed it again with the back of his hand, and while he was doing all this, his mouth did not stop, "What did you say?" ”

"It's not...... You repeat? What does Carl Icahn want to do? ”
