America's Road to Fame

Chapter 116 The Bentley Family?
The result of their meeting this time does not seem to be so good.

However, Who care?

William Chen wished that Garrett would speed up the transformation after being stimulated.

The current situation of the Kushnar Group is like an antelope stabbed by a spear. The faster it runs, the more blood it loses.

However, Chen Weilian was still a little concerned about the black-haired beauty he saw next to Garrett today. He still felt a little uneasy because the identity of the other party was not clear.

"Have you heard of that Marianne Bentley?"

During the meal, William Chen asked Ivanta tentatively.

"Who? That friend of Garrad's?"

Seeing William Chen nodded, Ivanta asked vigilantly: "Why are you asking her? It seems that she is Garrett's girlfriend. Even if she is not, she seems to have a good relationship."

Hey, sure enough, the IQ of women in love will drop, which is where.

Chen Weilian said helplessly: "I just feel strange. I haven't heard of this woman before. Why did she suddenly appear beside Garrad? Didn't he chase you before?"

"Hehe." Ivanta said with a sneer, "Is this what you care about?"

Woman, if it weren't for the wrong occasion, William Chen really wanted to give her a hard injection to wake her up.

It seems that there is nothing to ask from Ivanta. Thinking of this, William Chen picked up his mobile phone, turned on HOLA, and sent a message to Rick Walton:
"Have you ever heard of Marianne Bentley? A girl in her twenties with dark hair."

Soon, I received a reply from the other party:
"Marian Bentley? I don't know, is she a star?"

"It shouldn't be. Is there a Bentley family in America?"

"As far as I know, there is no such family in the United States, but I met a friend at a party, named Broll Bentley, he is from the Bentley family in Europe, that family is a banking family, in the United States A lot of banks have stakes."

European banking family?This should be able to match the number. If it is related to many banks in the United States, then it is likely that this Marianne Bentley was behind the promotion of Garrett's relationship with the Bank of New York in the first place.

However, William Chen was a little puzzled, since Marianne Bentley and Garrett were so close at the time—this can be seen from the two people hugging each other in the photo—then why Garrett was so high-profile afterwards To pursue Ivanta?Was he not afraid of Marianne Bentley's anger? ?

Or is this Miss Marianne Bentley actually Garrad's licking dog?
What the fuck is wrong with this world, you are such a beautiful girl, what's wrong with you, you actually become a dog licker!
Thinking of this, William Chen replied a message to Rick Walton:
"Can you find out for me, is there anyone named Marianne Bentley among the younger generation of the Bentley family?"

Rick is indeed a good brother, and immediately replied:

"Okay, I still have Broll's contact information, let me ask you."

Seeing this reply, Chen Weilian felt that there are true feelings in the world.By the way, Rick, are you so free every day?Why don't you find a woman to practice medicine when you have this time?It also makes me feel more at ease...

"William, from what you told Garrad just now, do you think the drop in housing prices this time will not be a short-term adjustment?"

Ivanta has always had this question in her mind. She remembered that William Chen told her before that she was not optimistic about the future of the real estate industry. Now she heard him bring up this point of view again, so she took the initiative to ask.

"You are real estate developers, you should have a deeper understanding."

"Our group's real estate is okay. Although housing prices have also fallen, the current situation of mortgage supply cut-off is not serious."

Hearing what Ivanta said, William Chen also realized the problem, so he explained to her:
"The real estate projects of your group are all high-end real estate, and the targets you buy are those rich people. This is different from most other real estate companies. If you go to understand the situation of real estate projects for ordinary people, you You will have a deeper understanding. As far as I know, in many states, there have been serious mortgage loan failures.”

Ivanta nodded, kept William Chen's words in his heart, and prepared to conduct a special investigation on those situations. If what he said was true, the consequences would definitely be more serious.

However, even if the serious consequences that Ivanta thinks of are much lighter than the real consequences of the subprime mortgage crisis, because she only focuses on the real estate market, she will only think that this impact is limited to the real estate industry and affects at most to some loan financial institutions.

It is also because she does not know how terrifying the scale of subprime mortgage bonds has reached, so she can't imagine that not only the real estate industry and those lending financial institutions, but the entire banking industry will face collapse next, and because Funds dry up, transmitting the consequences of the crisis to various industries, resulting in a large-scale economic crisis.

Of course, it is not mainly the development of high-end real estate. The impact of the subprime mortgage crisis on Ivanta and his family is very small.After the banking system is also destroyed, liquidity will dry up, and the Trump Group will also be implicated.

No real estate company uses its own funds to develop projects. Most of the funds rely on banks for financing. Therefore, when banks are in trouble, it will not only affect the progress of their real estate project development, but even seriously, It will also make their finances tight, and even cause a chain reaction.

"By the way, Ivanta, didn't you make a plan to invest in Huaguo's real estate industry before? What's the result? Did the family agree?"

When Chen William and Ivanta went to Huaguo, Ivanta saw the rapid economic development of Huaguo, and thus had the idea of ​​investing in Huaguo's real estate market, although Chen William was not optimistic about their family's opinion of this idea. Attitude, I still asked her.

"It didn't pass. They don't think it's a good idea to invest in Huaguo now. They always think that the development and environment there are not suitable for the group to develop."

Ivanta said with some frustration, this made her feel bad again, she unconsciously stuck the fruit salad with a fork, but forgot to eat it.

"Honey, don't worry, there is always a chance. As the American real estate market falls into a trough, this matter will usher in a turning point."

William Chen comforted her softly. What he didn't say was that even if her family disagreed with Ivanta's suggestion, William Chen would find a chance to support her.

In William Chen's view, there are still many years of real estate boom in Huaguo, which is a good opportunity for investment.

He has also consulted about the investment policies of foreign capital in China's real estate industry. Except for several prohibited fields, other fields can be invested, but in some cases, it is better to register a local company, or the same company The way to cooperate with local companies.

Among them, the real estate fields that foreign investment is prohibited from entering mainly include three types:

They are the land development (limited to joint ventures and cooperation); the construction of high-end hotels, villas, high-end office buildings and international exhibition centers; the operation of real estate secondary market transactions and real estate intermediary or brokerage companies.

Therefore, when he first entered the Huaguo market, William Chen thought that he could first use the experience of Trump Group in the high-end hotel industry to operate high-end hotels in several first-tier cities, and then choose suitable local real estate companies to cooperate and jointly develop and operating real estate projects.

With the strengthening of Huaguo's economy, the demand for high-end hotels is still very strong, and there are still many investment opportunities. It is more appropriate to choose this field to enter.

This is also the reason why he supports Ivanta to do this work. After all, he has zero experience in real estate and hotel management, and the Trump Group has been immersed in this industry for a long time. Cooperating with them can save money. Go for a lot of energy.

And the most important thing is to be able to bind the interests of yourself and Ivanta, the relationship formed through the combination of interests is the strongest, especially when both parties are pragmatic and rational people, even if there is emotional dissatisfaction in the future, You will also know how to choose.
