Chapter 376: The Frederick Family (2)

For the upper circles, except for the family's main business, the others are all long shares, and after bundling, they are made into hedge funds.

The upper echelons of business tycoons are also divided into different tiers.

Upper-middle tycoons, family businesses located in the country, plus a mid-level hedge fund (family consortium).

Upper tycoons, mainly owned by a number of multinational corporations, plus upper hedge funds (large domestic conglomerates) affiliated within the country.

Upper-class tycoons are tied up with a large number of listed companies, upper-class hedge funds (multinational conglomerates) with multinational banks as the main industry.

With hedge funds, you can be considered to have a firm foothold in a country, and you will be completely regarded as your own by your own government and tycoon circles, and you will be qualified to choose an agent to declare your governing philosophy.

The so-called parties are all bundled together with assets under their names, and hedge funds are bundled into a consortium.

The ruling party of the country bundles the registered shares of listed companies throughout the country into a large market, and as long as it does not open up excessive leverage, it will not lead to bankruptcy crisis, and it can firmly hold the ruling power.

The so-called leverage refers to the profit that can be obtained by shorting in the market, buying down, and investing 1 time, after an increase of N times.

For example, China's large-market leverage is 8 times, which is the lowest leverage; The general leverage in foreign countries is 20 times to 100 times.

To put it bluntly, I have $100,000, and if I take a short position in the market of country A (50 times leverage), my funds can increase to $5 million; Only if the market of country A has an expected big decline, it can earn an astronomical amount.

Once you understand these rules, it's easy to make money by creating a hedge fund!

Let's get back to the point.

The old man, Marc Frederick, finally made up his mind, took out the core assets of the family, and gave Ussi a special heir lesson.

Usilis was silent, quietly digesting the "upper thinking", his horizons suddenly broadened, and the problems that he couldn't figure out before seemed to be solved!

In fact, the core asset of the Frederick family is the FTL hedge fund (FTL consortium), as long as it has this, it can always stand in the middle and upper circles of Germany, and call for wind and rain within a certain range.

On the contrary, there is only one listed company, no matter how you operate, you can't survive three generations, and you will inevitably fall into the hands of a certain consortium, without exception!

Example 1: Adidas, founded by the Dassler family, is currently in the hands of Caspar-Rorsted.

Example 2: The Disney Group, created by the Disney family, is currently in the hands of Michael Eisner.

Example 3; Apple Computer was founded by Steve Jobs, but the controlling stake was in the hands of Mike Macura, and the majority shareholder was Bill Gates.

Wait, wait, let's not talk about it!

Therefore, if you want to make an upper-class tycoon bow his head, he must buy the main property under the name of the other party; If you want to compromise with an upper-level tycoon, you must buy one of the other party's important main industries (a media group dominated by TV stations).

When certain historical events appear, they are often spread around the world in a short period of time through temporary news; This ad hoc news is always squeezed out of the advertising slots contracted by certain companies.

Let's not talk about examples, because there are too many!

A whole bunch of TV stations and media companies were bundled through certain groups, and a "global microphone" was born, which was too important for the upper tycoons!

This is the fundamental reason why Albert Gore and others are plotting to buy the Disney Group and threatening to buy the NBA Group!

Usilis finally figured out why Old Mark didn't say a word and didn't want to invest a dime when he was in SBBA.

Old Mark said with a kind face: "These properties are converted together, about 1.9 billion US dollars, which is all I have." I was originally going to leave it to your father, but now that I think about it, it's still the best fit for you! My child, I don't expect you to become the emperor of basketball in the NBA, I just hope that you can protect this property and make our Frederick family prosperous forever! I'm old, it's time to enjoy life, and it's time for you to take care of all these properties! ”

The implication is that it's finally time to divide the property!

Prior to this, Mark Sr. only disclosed the four military enterprises that occupied a controlling stake in the assets, and did not show the final hole cards.

Back then, the elder Mark chose to break away from the Oldenburg family, set up his own door, and worked hard for more than 50 years to create the family business, but the next generation may not be so harmonious.

Once the family property is divided by the court according to the principle of equal division, the controlling stake can be easily taken away, and it is a disaster!

Pure liquidity, left to future generations, most of which will be wasted by luxury life and failed investments, without exception. There are many family members, and no one can guarantee that there will be no losers who are addicted to wine and wealth!

The truth of leaving the core of the family property to the wisest heir is common in all countries of the world, and there is no exception to any doctrine!

Look at the news, especially the succession wars of some Chinese families, which are always settled in court, and after a few years, any glory will disappear!

If you don't die, you won't let go, hey!

Therefore, planning ahead is the right way!

Prior to this, when Usy decided to return to China within three days, Old Mark deliberately notified the other children to return to China one day later, and the time was staggered, that is, to hand over the core property of the family to Ussy's name in advance.

After Old Mark made his intentions clear, he gave the choice to Ussy.

Ursiris was worried that he had no money, so he agreed.

Old Mark laughed, and pointed out Ussy one by one to sign a large number of contracts such as equity transfer letters, and worked for more than an hour.

Originally independent, Usilis had to join the Social Democratic Party (SPD) because he wanted to inherit the FTL fund.

The SPD, whose full name is the Social Democratic Party of Germany, was founded in 1863 and is the oldest surviving political party in Germany and one of the oldest and largest in the world. The governing philosophy is: taking the philosopher Marx as the spiritual leader, taking Marx's ideas as the blueprint for the party's policies, attaching importance to social welfare, creating more employment opportunities, protecting the disadvantaged, committing to civil law, an open society and citizen participation in politics, active European integration and foreign policy, and being a moderate reformer.

The SPD is one of the three ruling parties of the German Grand Coalition Government (SPD, CDU, CSU), and has won eight cabinet seats and occupies a dominant position according to the coalition agreement.

There is no way to do this, if you want to really integrate into the upper circle and not join the party, it will not work! (To be continued.) )
