Happy Tycoon

In the past few years, Mike Aller has been buying various works of art for Yang Jing. His figure has been appearing in major European and American auctions, and every time he appears in an 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 collections were auctioned at the auction.

It is precisely because Mike Aller has been spending huge sums of money to buy artworks and collectibles like a bank, his name has spread in Europe and America.

It's just that Mike Aller has kept a very low-key stance, and it's hard for the outside world to understand how he got rich. 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 it is impossible for him to be recognized from major European and American auctions in the past seven or eight years. Throw down over a billion dollars.

Dollars in this era are still quite valuable. Before 1987, Sam Walton, the richest man in the United States, the founder of Wal-Mart, had a net worth of just over US$6 billion, and later generations often occupied the top three wealth lists. Warren Buffett's net worth at this time is only two or three billion US dollars.

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

That is to say, during these seven or eight years, the dollars that Mike Aller threw out at various auctions were enough to make a person one of the top 50 super-rich people in the United States.

So, despite Mike Aller's low-key attitude, his name is now known to almost everyone in the top rich circles in Europe and America.

And as the KY investment fund began to emerge in the United States, the identity of Mike Aller was finally known to a small number of people. This old man who was previously inconspicuous turned out to be the second largest shareholder of the KY investment fund.

This is quite remarkable. In terms of the current financial strength of the KY investment fund, this is definitely the largest investment fund in the world. At a time when hedge funds are not as popular as they are in later generations, an investment fund can now be considered a large fund with a capital of three billion U.S. dollars.

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

Mike Aller personally negotiated with Giuliani on this matter, and he is definitely the best candidate.

Yang Jing didn't want to keep Giuliani going. After all, Giuliani had been in the American judiciary for so long, and it was deeply ingrained to describe him. If there is a breakup 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 more honest after seeing these evidences enough to send him to prison for decades, and stop staring at the KY investment fund like a fly that smells the smell.

As long as you stop staring at KY investment funds, then I will not release these evidences to the public.

This is a very simple transaction, presumably in terms of Giuliani's intelligence, he will also know how to choose.

Mike Aller is a man of action. After deciding that he should come forward to solve this matter, he immediately acted. The things said in the room about the development of the KY investment fund are not very attractive to Mike Aller, so he immediately walked out of the room and began to prepare to investigate the evidence.

After Mike Aller walked out, the small meeting among several people continued.

Boss, last time you told me to pay attention to the Hartford National Company and Arlington Trust when you left, my acquisition team has already started contacting them, and now it seems that the contact situation is quite good. Regardless It is the Hartford National Company or the Arlington Trust, and they like us to join the competition. The Boston consortium wants to acquire these two companies, and our participation is good for them to raise prices. But those people in the Boston consortium may Not happy, Henry said.

Yang Jing pondered for a while and said, Don't worry about them! We have a financial advantage at the moment, and the Boston consortium's sphere of influence is not in New York, so we don't need to be afraid of them. It doesn't matter if we raise the price, as long as we can win these two companies quickly, I don’t care even if it’s a 30% premium.”

Wanting to form a consortium 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 the full body, Yang Jing specifically asked the Holy Ring whether his acquisition of the Hartford National Company and the Arlington Trust would cause a space-time paradox. The Holy Ring clearly told him that it would, but as long as If it wasn't him who acted, but the people below, this level of space-time paradox would not pose any threat to Yang Jing in terms of the energy possessed by the Holy Ring that has evolved to the highest level.

It is 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.

Although the impact of the space-time paradox caused by this will greatly consume the energy of the holy ring, it is at best to replenish the energy of the holy ring. Anyway, there are still many treasures in my hand that have not absorbed energy. In the future, I will continue to search for those It is a legendary treasure, and I also have a way to use oil fields to replenish energy, so my buddies don't care about energy consumption!

As long as the spatio-temporal paradox triggered is not too severe, and I don't kill myself instantly at one time, then I am not afraid of anything!

Hearing Yang Jing's domineering words, Amanda Pietrus smiled and said, Boss, since you have made such a decision, let's see how we deal with the large amount of surplus funds on hand.

After a pause, Amanda continued: Boss, most of our profits from the stock market crash last year were kept abroad, and more than half of them have now entered the Japanese financial market. The stock market with the largest market value, but the funds that can be accommodated are limited after all. In addition, the Japanese stock market has begun to recover rapidly, which has attracted a lot of international hot money to enter the Japanese market, which has led to the inability of all our funds to enter Japan. Therefore, we still have less than 20 billion U.S. dollars of funds staying in Europe. It is best not to keep these funds in bank accounts for a long time, and the rate of inflation is very fast. The money is going to be spent.”

Yang Jing nodded and said, It's simple, but it's all about spending money vigorously.

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

This is not easy? In addition to the list of companies I let you invest in, you can also invest in other companies with potential! Anglo American, Mercedes-Benz, British BP, companies outside these lists, you can completely decide Shareholding! You are my executives, I need you to have independent subjectivity, don't point at me for everything. You can make up your own mind about some things.

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

I know that your tasks are already heavy enough, so you can definitely recruit some more people to enter the KY investment fund. How about this, please make a list for me to see, and I will help you choose some capable men.

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

Luxury brand? Henry asked in surprise.

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

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

It's nothing, I just feel that the current luxury industry seems to be a bit chaotic. If you look at Gucci now, it is a mess. There are also some Swiss watch brands. The competition between each other seems to have no bottom line. These luxury goods It is not easy to cultivate a luxury brand, but it is very easy to ruin a brand. It is precisely because of the current status of the luxury industry that I wonder if it is possible to set up a group that specializes in luxury brands and acquire as many as possible Some luxury brands bring together these luxury brands that usually fight independently, and then customize different development routes for them according to the different customers targeted by these brands. Anyway, we have a lot of spare money now, so I want to try it .”

Of course, Yang Jing couldn't tell them that a large part of the luxury brands that are now fighting against each other will soon be acquired by a luxury brand that has risen in recent years, and after more than ten years of integration and running-in, they finally formed A huge luxury conglomerate with a market capitalization exceeding US$100 billion, this is LVMH.

Moreover, in addition to LVMH, Richemont Group will also be established this year, and although Paris Printemps has not yet formed the final Kering Group, it already has a strategy of group operations.

In just a few years, the competition pattern of the three major luxury groups will be formed in the world. If you count the Swiss Swatch Group established in the 20th century, it will be the four major luxury groups sharing the global luxury market. , other small brands are almost untenable in the luxury market. Now is a good time to get involved in the luxury group!

Of course, in order not to cause an extreme space-time paradox, Yang Jing’s acquisition of these luxury brands was not to establish a luxury group, but to use these brands to enter the market, for example, to use these brands he acquired to become Louis Major shareholders of luxury groups such as Mo Xuan and Richemont

Using this method to intervene in those luxury brands is obviously easier than acquiring shares from these major groups, and the price will be even lower!

Hearing what Yang Jing said, several people nodded, and they quite recognized the boss's idea.

But Henry still asked: Boss, your idea is very good, but none of us are proficient in luxury goods.

Yang Jing smiled slightly and said, It doesn't matter, anyway, we have to get involved in the luxury goods industry, so we might as well find an expert in this field to join the KY investment fund.

Boss, do you have someone to choose?

Yang Jing nodded slightly. As a person who has traveled to this era from later generations, it is too easy to find a few good enough luxury brand managers in this era.
