Chapter 107: Oreo

The shy away from luxury private jets has given Hall a far greater mobility than usual.

The next morning, in the reception room of Goldman Sachs' headquarters, he said bluntly: "I'm going to set up a family office and make an investment in the M&A space. It's time for you to make good on your promise and help me with it."

"Goldman Sachs never says no to its clients."

Ariana wore a classic black and white match today, a black suit against a white shirt outlined ***, a pair of long legs and high heels looked full of fighting spirit, and the elite of Flower Street was full of fan.

He walked up and handed him a piece of information: "As the personal butler of the top wealthy, the family office has always been extremely unique."

"As far as I know, there are three types of mainstream family offices: commercial family offices that focus on financial investment, inheritance distribution, and the first two types of services for the wealthy......

"I need to build a family office that only serves me, like Meghan and Rockefeller, and focuses on financial investment. Of course, at this stage I don't think about inheritance...... Inheritance issues." Hall hesitated slightly when he thought of something.

As his worth and status continued to expand, he brought assistants, bodyguards, lawyers, and accountants with him to New York this time. In the future, it is foreseeable that his private investments will be even larger, and many things will not be possible to do by himself.

Brandon is an assistant to the chairman of AEC Capital, and it is impossible for him to help him with his personal affairs on a part-time basis forever.

Therefore, it is necessary to set up a family office, and pack all the increasingly bloated private affairs into a framework for easy management, and the most important thing is to avoid taxes!

Due to ideological confrontation, the United States has always spent money to buy the hearts of the people all over the world. The salary of an ordinary blue-collar worker can support a large family, eat steak, drink milk, live in a big house, and even be frugal enough to afford two small cars.

All this money is scraped meat from the rich class.

Now that the U.S. tax rate is at an all-time high, the rich are really a little overwhelmed. If it weren't for the fact that he was more afraid of the woolly bear winning and being hung on the street lamp than spending money on bleeding, the last few commanders would have to take turns standing guard with two eyes when they slept......

Hall and Erena consulted for a long time and asked the latter to help find the various talents and resources needed for the family office.

"Do you have a company called Reynolds-Nabiske, it's grossly undervalued, and I'm going to buy shares in it on the secondary market and talk to the board about a management buyout." He talked about investing again.

Ariana thought for a few seconds and responded in detail: "Last year's Black Monday caused the Reynolds-Nabiske stock price to plummet, and it has been hovering around $70 so far, and many institutions on Wall Street believe that the tobacco giant is seriously undervalued."

"But it may not be a suitable M&A target. Last year, the government passed a two-hour ban on smoking on short-haul flights, and you should know what that means. And it has spent tens of millions of dollars on new products this year that have not performed as expected......

"There's no need to be so tactful, I know that Reynolds-Nabiske is worth tens of billions." Hall interrupted her, "Actually, I don't want to do it alone, it's a business that requires a lot of help." ….

"I just want to say it's a morally condemnable project." Ariana smiled and shook her head.

Hall smiled and shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "I'm just eating their Oreo cookies."

"So what can I do for you? Financing, meet with Reynolds-Nabiske EO Johnson?"

"Financing, help me borrow money with leverage of 20 million pounds, the more the better."

"In your private name, Goldman Sachs can provide about 100 million in financing. If there is a mortgage subject, it may reach 200 million ...... Family office?"

Hall raised an eyebrow and said in surprise, "Yes, mortgage with the family office. Honestly, Goldman Sachs was more generous than I thought."

"You're one of my best customers, and you've already helped me earn a Ferrari." A friendly smile tugged at the corners of Ariana's mouth.

Hall crawled down the pole, "So high

Would Sheng be willing to be a part of this business?"

「…… Can you tell us who your helpers are, and it's best to see the specific operation plan, which needs to be professionally evaluated." Ariana's expression froze.

Entrepreneurs who rose in the golden age of the 50s and 60s are aging, and most of their descendants are unable to take over the responsibilities of their parents, or the companies themselves are entering their twilight years.

Therefore, [mergers and acquisitions] that can not only escape inheritance tax but also improve the current business status have gradually become the choice of many enterprises.

Coupled with Mickel's pioneering play on junk bonds, which has provided a huge amount of money to the market, the M&A industry has boomed in recent years.

The annualized rate of KKR, the industry leader, exceeds 60%, and Wall Street giants such as Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers have successively waved billions of dollars to enter the market to grab meat, and Goldman Sachs naturally has related businesses to do.

But Reynolds-Nabiske is a giant after all, and it doesn't matter if you speak beautifully, you still have to be cautious in your actual actions.

"You know, often good financiers are dictatorial tyrants, and it's for the sake of our friendship that we can disclose our investment goals in advance." Hall said something pretty without showing weakness, and stood up and buttoned his shirt, "I look forward to your good news."

"I'll send you."

Ariana's brain was racing, and as she was taking the elevator downstairs, she suddenly approached Hall and whispered, "AIG (American International Group) has recently launched a customized life insurance policy for the super-rich, and it has partnered with top hospitals such as Mayo, and the best team of private doctors regularly monitors the health of its clients."

Hall has grown to a height of 1.8 meters, and her gaze inadvertently looks from top to bottom, and you can see the whiteness looming under her white V-neck buttonless shirt.

Smelling the warm woody perfume of papyrus mixed with amber, I subconsciously leaned back.

"What did you say?" He asked.

Ariana didn't notice anything unusual, and continued to herself, "The insurance also includes the provision of health therapists and athletic trainers...... Donors, I think it should be in your family office team."

"Sounds good, but what is a donor?" Hall asked with a look in his eyes and a full body of righteousness.

Ariana lowered her voice again: "Some diseases often require blood transfusions and organ transplants during surgery. AIG can find medically qualified candidates and is ready to donate...... It's all voluntary and legal, as long as the equivalent of dollars is paid."

"I am very healthy and I have not yet made a will, so I am hesitant to ask the family office whether the estate distribution is needed for the time being." Hall reacted and explained helplessly.

European and American cultural traditions do not shy away from death, especially the wealthy class.

Helena made a will at a very young age, and revised it regularly, and her thoughts and thoughts imprinted in her blood, the inability of the family to continue, perhaps more terrible than death......

"I'm sorry, I thought, uh, I'm sorry anyway." Ariana bowed her head in embarrassment.

She had just seen Hall's strange look when he mentioned the inheritance, and thought that there was something wrong with his health.

"It's okay, thanks for reminding me, it's time for me to make a will." Hall looked at her curiously, "Why do you think you know so much about family offices?"

"Time, from the time I got Brandon's call yesterday afternoon to the time I saw you, I had 5 shots of espresso and a cup of whiskey."

「…… Hard work." Hall was speechless.

Ariana raised her head again and raised her chin slightly: "It's okay, in fact, I took a two-hour nap this morning, then got up to work out, took a shower and touched up my makeup, and had breakfast by the way, making sure to receive you in good condition." It turns out that I didn't seem to do a bad job?"

"You're doing a great job, ma'am."

I'm mortal
