America's Road to Fame

Chapter 117 The Dray Family Fund
When William Chen received a call in the office today and returned to his home, he saw his uncle John Drey sitting on the sofa, reading the newspaper that had been placed on the table before.

He had just read this newspaper this morning, so he still remembered what was reported on the page John Drey was reading now, and he was speechless for a while.

The thing is like this, after Chen William and Ivanta were photographed together by the media yesterday, the scandal between the two of them was fired again, and then a reporter asked about Ivanta's father, so today's newspaper is Published what Trump said at the time:
"William? I know him, he's a great lad, very much like when I was younger in a lot of things, he's been through periods of confusion before and I can understand that and see him pick himself up like I did. I'm up, I'm glad."

"About Ivanta and him? No matter what, I support my dear Ivanta. I'm not surprised to hear this. After all, Ivanta is so charming. Anyone will be fascinated by her, isn't it?" Is it? If she is not my daughter, I will pursue her without hesitation. "

"Yes, I can fully understand William. After all, we are very similar. He has made some achievements now. Believe me if I stick to it, he will achieve the same success as me. Regarding his scandals, I hope to give him some Advice, that is, you will be attracted by various temptations when you are young, but if you want to be with Ivanta, you must learn to mature. For lovers, loyalty is the most important thing, just like me, Family always comes first."

Well, since you like her, you have to accept some of her, right?Including her big mouthed dad.

Even though he thought so, to be honest, William Chen was still a little embarrassed when he saw this report, but thinking of the good time spent with Ivanta last night, well, these little troubles can still be tolerated.

But in particular, the bad news is that Garrad's 20% ability seems to be better than nothing, but the good news is that this also contrasts with William Chen's strength... There is no harm if there is no comparison.

"Uncle, when did you come here?"

William Chen sat down opposite John Drey and said to him.

John Drey looked up at him, then put down the newspaper, took off his glasses, and said, "I just arrived in the morning, and I just talked to Roger for a while."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help sighing:
"William, I'm very pleased with your current performance, but Roger, it's still worrying."

"Cousin just looks cynical, but in fact he is still very clear about many things, he just doesn't want to be too thin and restrained."

What can Chen William say at this time, the boast is over. Could it be that he followed his uncle to scold him, right?

"Stop talking about that, William, I heard from Roger that you have a private equity fund?"

William Chen was not surprised that his uncle knew about this.In the United States, private equity funds are not allowed to advertise and publicize in the media, so they often raise funds through some receptions or word of mouth from investors. Among them, the past returns of funds are naturally the best. Propaganda effect.

However, William Chen's private equity fund is newly established, and his company's reputation was not obvious before, so there is no promotional activity for the time being.

But this fund was originally intended to allow him to gain more support and assistance. Those who can invest more than 100 million US dollars will have more or less energy, and it will be a great help when they gather together, so he does not need to go to the fund at all. confidential.

After Roger knew that William Chen had set up a private equity fund, and that Rick Walton was the first to directly invest 1 million U.S. dollars to join, he also took out 200 million U.S. dollars and invested it in this fund. Therefore, at present, William Chen Fund No. 3, with a capital scale of US$1.15 million.

At that time, he said proudly:

"Although I don't know much about financial things, there are always people who do. Rick is assured of investing 1 million US dollars, and I will definitely not lose money if I follow along."

Hehe, you are still investing because of Rick Walton. At this time, William Chen thought that his cousin participated in the investment of "The Hangover" and even took out 500 million US dollars.

He really had the urge to grab his collar and shout at him:

"Roger, wake up, I'm taking you to make money!"

However, Chen Weilian still held back, let him go, and when the benefits come out, just don't regret it.

Now when John Dray asked, William Chen said:

"Recently there was a good investment opportunity, you know, Uncle, I made a good profit investing in the securities market before, so at their request, I created this private equity fund, and now this fund has raised more than 1 million US dollars funds."

It seems that John Drey is more interested in his fund and asked a lot of questions in detail.

William Chen certainly wouldn't reveal all his cards, but just talked about the general investment direction of the fund and the basis for making these judgments.

In the end, John Drey didn't say anything, chatted with Chen William for a few words and left.

And the next day, William Chen received a call from Sere Sander, who was in charge of the Dre family's family fund.

When Sai Lei Sander came to Chen William's office, he also brought 5000 million US dollars in funds.The money was invested in Chen William's No. 3 fund on behalf of the Delray family.

After Sai Lei Sanda completed the capital contribution procedures and left, William Chen received a call from his uncle John Drey. He told William Chen that there is only so much money he can use for investment at present, but if William Chen's fund is in the future If the income is satisfactory, he can also add additional funds, and introduce some mutual funds in California and some overseas sovereign funds for investment.

In this way, with the addition of this part of funds, the fund size of Fund No. 3 has reached 1.65 million US dollars. John Paulson has already started to use these funds to build positions, use them to buy CDS bonds, and short related stocks. The specific operation was handed over to Chen William. After all, the more income the fund got, the more John Paulson's personal share would be. No one would be against money.

……

William Chen received the news from Rick Walton, and after his inquiries, he confirmed that Marianne Bentley, the black-haired woman who appeared next to Garrad that day, was indeed a member of the Bentley family.

At the same time, Rick Walton also sent William Chen a piece of information about the Bentley family.

After reading it, William Chen secretly lamented Garrad's good luck.

The Bentley family belongs to one of the old money families in Europe. The family fortune can be traced back to the First World War, which has a history of a hundred years.

With so many years of development, the Bentley family has different branches in many countries in Europe, while.Marianne Bentley belongs to the branch of the Bentley family which developed in Germany.

This kind of old money family that has gone through many years, the assets and energy it has mastered are already difficult to find out in detail.

However, it is conservatively estimated that as a branch of the Bentley family in Germany, the assets controlled by the Marianne Bentley family should not be less than 100 billion US dollars.

It's just that as the younger generation of the family, it's hard to say how much money she can use. After all, it can be seen from the information that Marianne Bentley is not the only heir of their family. In her generation, the family has more than five young people. adult members of .

Therefore, Chen William didn't need to be overly nervous. If he thought about it, he could know that if he was very favored by the family, how could he become the licking dog of Garrett, whose family assets were only a few billion dollars?From all aspects of William Chen, he is not so good.

Thinking of this, William Chen felt a lot more relaxed, but many of the above are still his guesses. As for the specific situation, he still needs to wait until later to investigate slowly.

The reason why William Chen is so concerned about the situation of Marianne Bentley is because judging from the current situation, if the subprime mortgage crisis breaks out, coupled with the contract he signed with the Kushnar Group on Building 666, then he is very concerned about the situation. If possible, the building can be taken back directly.

The only difference is nothing more than how much money will be spent at that time.

But if there is Marianne Bentley as a strong support, then he will definitely need to use the Black Swan scroll in his inventory in order to take back the mansion.

This kind of system item is very rare for him, so it is the best situation to avoid using it, but when it is a last resort, he can only choose to use it.
