In recent years, Mike Ale has been acquiring various works of art for Yang Jing, and his figure has been appearing in major auctions in Europe and the United States, and every time he appears at auction, he will inevitably spend millions or even tens of millions of dollars, from sculptures to oil paintings to classical furniture, jewelry, watches and other precious works of art and collectibles.

It is precisely because Mike Ahler continues to spend huge sums of money on art and collectibles like a bank that his fame has spread in Europe and the United States.

It's just that Mike Ale has always kept a very low profile, and it is difficult for the outside world to know how he made his fortune. But there are also some smart people who have guessed that this old man should be the spokesperson of a certain big man, otherwise he was just an accountant before, and in any case, he would not have thrown more than a billion dollars from major auctions in Europe and the United States in the past seven or eight years.

Before 1987, the richest man in the United States, that is, Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart, was only worth more than $6 billion, and Warren Buffett, who often occupied the top three in the wealth list in later generations, was only worth $2 or 3 billion at this time.

One billion dollars is enough to break into the top 50 of the Fortune 400 in the United States in this era!

In other words, in the past seven or eight years, Mike Aller has thrown out enough dollars at major auctions to make a person one of the top 50 super-rich people in the United States.

So, don't look at Mike Aller's posture has always been very low-key, but his name is now almost everyone in the circle of top wealthy people in Europe and the United States.

As the KY Investment Fund began to emerge in the United States, Mike Aller's identity was finally known by a small number of people, and this old man, who was previously inconspicuous, turned out to be the second largest shareholder of the KY Investment Fund.

This is quite remarkable, and in terms of the current financial resources of the KY Investment Fund, this is definitely the largest investment fund in the world at present. At a time when hedge funds were not as prevalent as they were in the future, an investment fund with $3 billion in capital is now considered a large fund.

Being able to become the second largest shareholder of KY Investment Fund is enough to deter many people.

Mike Aller personally intervened with Giuliani and was definitely the best candidate.

Yang Jing didn't want to get Giuliani down, after all, Giuliani has been in the American judicial circle for so long, and he is deeply ingrained in describing people like him. If you break with this kind of person, although Yang Jing is not afraid, there is really no need for that.

What Yang Jing hopes is that Giuliani will be honest after seeing the evidence that is enough to keep him in prison for decades, and stop staring at the KY investment fund like a stinking fly.

As long as you stop staring at the KY Investment Fund, then I will not release this evidence to the public.

It's a simple deal, and Giuliani's cleverness will make sure he knows how to make trade-offs.

Mike Ale is a man of action, and when he decided that he would be the one to solve the problem, he immediately took action. Now the things about the development of the KY investment fund in the house are not attractive to Mike Aller, so he immediately walked out of the house and began to prepare to investigate the evidence.

After Mike Aller walked out, a small meeting between several people continued.

"BOSS, the Hartford German Citizens and the Arlington Trust, which you told me to pay attention to last time you left, my acquisition team has already started to contact them, and now it seems that the contact situation is quite good. Both Hartford German Citizenship and the Arlington Trust loved that we were in the competition. The Boston consortium wants to buy these two companies, and it's good for them to get involved. But the people at the Boston consortium weren't happy. Henry said.

Yang Jing groaned a little and said: "Regardless of them! At present, we have a financial advantage, and the sphere of influence of the Boston consortium is not in New York, so we don't need to be afraid of them. It doesn't matter if the price is raised, as long as I can win these two companies quickly, I don't care if it's a 30% premium. ”

wants to form a consortium, this is a plan that Yang Jing has planned for a long time, but Yang Jing did not dare to implement this plan before. Later, after the Holy Ring was promoted to a complete body, Yang Jing specially consulted the Holy Ring, and his acquisition of the Hartford German Citizen Company and the Arlington Trust would not cause a space-time paradox, and the Holy Ring clearly told him that it would, but as long as it was not him who did it personally, but by the people below, this level of space-time paradox would not pose any threat to Yang Jing in terms of the energy that the Holy Ring now had evolved to the highest level.

It was precisely because of the exact answer of the Holy Ring that Yang Jing dared to let go of his hands and feet to build the consortium he planned.

Therefore, although the impact of the time-space paradox will greatly consume the energy of the Holy Ring, it is a big deal to replenish the energy of the Holy Ring, anyway, there are still many treasures that have not been absorbed in the energy in their hands, and they will continue to look for those legendary treasures in the future, and they also have a way to use the oil field to replenish energy, so the consumption of energy, buddy doesn't care!

As long as the time-space paradox caused is not too drastic, and you don't wipe yourself out instantly, then you are not afraid of anything!

Hearing Yang Jing say so domineeringly, Amanda Petrus on the side smiled and said: "BOSS, since you have such a decision, then let's see what we do with the large amount of surplus funds on hand." ”

After a pause, Amanda continued: " BOSS, last year's profits in the stock market crash, most of them stayed abroad, more than half of them now entered the financial market, but although the stock market is currently the largest stock market in the world, but the funds that can be accommodated are limited after all, coupled with the rapid revival of the stock market, attracting a large number of international funds into the market, which leads to the fact that our funds can not all enter the financial market, so we still have about less than 20 billion US dollars of funds to stay in Europe. It's best not to keep these funds in a bank account for a long time, because inflation is very fast, and we have to find a way to spend it. ”

Yang Jing nodded and said, "This is simple, but you can spend money vigorously." ”

Henry smiled bitterly: "BOSS, we want to spend our money hard, but you have to give us a goal, right?"

"This is not simple? In addition to the list of companies I have asked you to take shares, you can also take shares in other companies with potential! Anglo American, Mercedes-Benz Motors, BP, you can completely take the lead in the companies that are not on these lists! You are my executives, and I need you to have independent subjectivity and not point fingers at me in everything. There are some things that you can do for yourself. ”

Yang Jing's words made both Henry and David a little ashamed.

"I know your task is heavy enough, so you can recruit some more people into the KY Investment Fund. Now, make a list for me, and I'll help you pick some of your right men. ”

After a pause, Yang Jing seemed to think of something, and said after a little hesitation: "You guys pay attention to those luxury brands in Europe during this time, do an acquisition evaluation, and if the conditions are right, I plan to acquire some luxury brands......"

"Luxury brands?" asked Henry, somewhat surprised.

"Well, that's right, it's a luxury brand. Yang Jing said with certainty.

"BOSS, why did you think of buying a luxury brand?" asked David Anderson, who hadn't spoken much.

"It's nothing, I just think the luxury industry seems to be a bit chaotic now, you look at Gucci now, it's a mess, and some Swiss watch brands, there seems to be no bottom to the competition between them. These luxury brands are not easy to cultivate, but it is easy to ruin a brand. It is precisely because of the current situation in the luxury industry that I wondered if it was possible to set up a group specializing in luxury brands, and then try to acquire as many luxury brands as possible, so that these luxury brands that usually fight separately can be concentrated, and then customize different development routes for them according to the different customers targeted by these brands. Anyway, we have a lot of money on hand now, so I want to give it a try. ”

Of course, Yang Jing can't tell them that a large part of the luxury brands that are now fighting separately will soon be acquired by a luxury brand that has risen in recent years, and then after more than ten years of integration and running-in, a huge luxury group will eventually be formed, with a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars, which is Louis Mohd.

And in addition to Louis Moët, Richemont will also be created this year, and Paris Spring, although it has not yet finally formed the last Kering group, has already had a strategy of group operations.

If you count the Swiss Swatch Group, which was established in the 20th century, the four major luxury groups share the global luxury market, and other small brands are almost untenable in the luxury market. Now is a great time to step in with a luxury group!

Of course, in order not to trigger an excessive paradox of time and space, Yang Jing's acquisition of these luxury brands is not to establish a luxury group for himself, but to use these brands to break into this market, for example, with the help of these brands he acquired, to become the majority shareholder of luxury groups such as Louis Moëll and Richemont......

It is obviously easier to get involved in those luxury brands in this way than to buy shares from these major groups, and the price will be lower!

Hearing Yang Jing say this, several people nodded, and they still agreed with the boss's idea.

However, Henry still asked, "Boss, your idea is very good, but none of us are proficient in luxury." ”

Yang Jing smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, we have to get involved in the luxury industry, so we might as well find an expert in this field to join the KY Investment Fund first." ”

"Boss, have you chosen someone?"

Yang Jing nodded slightly. As someone who has traveled back in time to this era, it is too easy to find a few good enough luxury brand managers in this era......
