America's Road to Fame

Chapter 160 The Big Toy of the Super Rich
"Thank you, William, for being so kind to me."

Hearing William Chen's words, Ivanta was very moved and said to him sweetly.

"This is what I should do, my dear, but business is business. I will find a professional team to negotiate with your father and try to reach a price that both parties can accept. But it's still the question, how much money do you need now?" To get through the trouble?"

"Now the banks can't report too much expectation, so if you want to continue the operation of those projects, you may need at least US$10 billion."

Ivanta's answer made William Chen understand it.

To be honest, although the current situation of the Troup Group is very bad, what a real estate developer in New York once said is not wrong-the name Troup is the biggest asset of the Troup Group.

Therefore, William Chen believes that as long as the company survives this crisis safely, it will still be able to continue to develop with the help of Trump's operating capabilities. Pass.

As William Chen said, business is business. Although he plans to invest in Trump Group, Ivanta is a major factor, but other than that, this investment is also a very suitable investment purely from a business perspective. , although the returns from investing in Internet companies are not as high, the influence that such traditional companies can produce will be more substantial.

With Chen William's promise, Ivanta's mood improved a lot. After the two of them had dinner, they went to the manor Chen William had just bought in Long Island. Ivanta also liked it very much. In time, the two commanded the maids to arrange the place into a livable state.

Yes, there are more maids in William Chen's estate.

It has to be said that a professional is a professional. People who have not experienced this can never imagine how good the service of this kind of company that provides long-term housekeeping staff for the rich is.

They can use laptops to connect to their own company's internal database, and search for specific information on all the maids under their company according to customer requirements, including height, weight, skin color, hair color, and even pupil color. Attached with a physical examination certificate issued by a regular hospital...

Of course, the charges are not something different rich people can bear. The other party even guarantees that if you do something out of the ordinary, they can help you. Uh, it can also be seen that their customers before Nasty things like this happen a lot.

William Chen’s manor employed a housekeeper around 30 years old and nine maids at this time—William Chen believed that there should be no racial discrimination, so there were three Latinos, three Eastern Europeans, and three Asians each. The company's highest priced one, the one with a medical certificate...

There are also two western food chefs and two Chinese food chefs. As for the daily maintenance of the manor's vegetation and swimming pool and other equipment, the housekeeping company will send people to do it regularly.

At the same time, William Chen signed a security contract with BEAU DIETL-ASSOCIAATES, the largest security company in New York, and they were responsible for the security of the manor.

Of course, the distance between this manor on Long Island and Manhattan is also a problem. Although the distance from here to Manhattan will not exceed [-] kilometers, and it will only take more than an hour if you drive fast, but you must know that this is New York and the traffic conditions It will not always be good. When there is a slight congestion, the journey will take two hours.

Therefore, in addition, William Chen also ordered two helicopters for travel. After all, there will be no traffic jams when helicopters fly in the sky.

He ordered two helicopters, the Sikorsky S-76D and the Sikorsky S-92 from Sikorsky.They can meet his travel needs in different situations. As one of the world's three largest helicopter manufacturers, Sikorsky can guarantee the safety and stability of their products.

At present, the Sikorsky S-76D helicopter has arrived and is parked in the manor. This is a medium-sized helicopter with a comfortable and comfortable cabin that can accommodate 8 passengers.

Powered by Canadian Pratt-Whitney PW76S twin engines, the S-210D can reach a speed of 178 mph and a range of up to 540 miles.

Of course, as a private helicopter, a series of decorations and colors in the plane, including a complete entertainment system, colored windows, high-end leather interior panels, and other decorative details, all highlight a sense of comfort and quiet luxury.

The other helicopter he ordered, the Sikorsky S-92, is a large helicopter with a huge body and strong transportation capacity, and it often serves offshore oil platforms with high requirements.

It is precisely because of this that buying this model as a private buyer requires customization of the helicopter as a whole, so a certain amount of waiting time is required.

The cabin area of ​​this aircraft is about 12 square meters, which can accommodate 19 passengers. It is very spacious, and the interiors are all made of high-quality materials and carefully designed.Whether it is flight performance, comfort or reliability, the S-92 can be said to be one of the best choices at present.

The speed of the S-92 is 174 miles per hour, and the flight mileage can reach 629 miles. Especially when William Chen needs more entourage for travel, this large helicopter is more suitable as a way of travel.

Originally, William Chen was not familiar with these helicopters, but considering the distance between his current estate and Manhattan, he specifically consulted relevant companies.

As a result, after the other party introduced them in detail, watched their physical decoration and experienced the comfort, they ordered two directly.

It happens that one of them can take eight people, and the other can take 19 people. You can choose according to your own travel personnel.

What's more, with the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, many rich people who had ordered helicopters were on the verge of bankruptcy, so they canceled their orders one after another, preferring to lose their deposits.

Therefore, the two planes that William Chen ordered were all orders of this kind, and the price to be paid was far lower than the original price.

Normally, the total price of these two aircraft is around 4000 million US dollars.William Chan got them for just $3000 million.

As for the private business jets and yachts that William Chen is concerned about, the company that sells helicopters to him is also very gracious and expresses that it will find similar orders for him, and promises to let him use the best price to get these super rich people. big toy.

……

Last night, William Chen and Ivanta were newly married, unlocking some new knowledge.

Then in the morning, the two took the S-76D helicopter in the manor and went directly to the apron on the top of the Trump headquarters building, which took less than 20 minutes.

After arriving at Meta Investment Company, William Chen approached Camilo Hagen of Goldman Sachs, told him about his plans to invest in the Trump Group, and handed them over to conduct preliminary negotiations.

The most important issue is to reach an agreement with the Trump Group on the valuation of their company. It is not convenient for William Chen to come forward for this matter. It is very appropriate to hand it over to the more professional Goldman Sachs. They will consider it for the interests of William Chen , after all, this is also related to the rewards they can get.

When it was close to noon that day, a message came:
The Federal Reserve issued a statement that in order to ease the tension of the credit crisis, in addition to the rate cut and other misses, as of mid-December, it has provided more than 1600 billion US dollars of funds to American banks through TAF.

After entering December, there have been many missed attempts to save the market. In early December, the United States Congress passed a bill that eliminated the mortgage loan ceiling of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. mortgage loan.

On December 12, the Federal Reserve announced that it would expand its securities lending program to lend up to $10 billion in national debt to its primary dealers.

However, analysts said that the current measures are still not enough to save the American economy. To prevent the subprime mortgage crisis from worsening, at least 15 trillion US dollars of new investment must be injected into the 1 trillion mortgage market to prevent further market decline. .

In the end, the chairman of the Federal Reserve delivered a speech today, saying that he would try his best to save the American economy, and if necessary, he would carry out a series of quantitative easing policies to recover the secondary economy.

Quantitative easing, to put it bluntly, is printing money, directly or indirectly printing money...

Therefore, as soon as the speech of the chairman of the Federal Reserve was reported today, many people realized that the era of flooding the dollar may soon come.

Stimulated by this news, the international gold price began to rise, rising by more than 10% on the day...

After all, if you print too much money, you always have to invest it. But in fact, it is not that if you print too much money, it will really flow to places that are in urgent need of funds. Instead, it will be invested in other financial products, such as the recognized best hedging product—— -gold.
