My Age of Investment

   Chapter 1270 Gunshots in the Apartment Building

   "It is difficult for Envision Capital to obtain the kind of special treatment that the financial world has given to Blackstone, because we currently lack enough convincing textbook-style benchmarking cases in areas such as real estate investment and leveraged buyouts.

   Our hedge fund has done a good job, and has also enjoyed treatment comparable to that of Blackstone in the real estate and PE fund fields.

   But we have now crossed a financial sub-industry and entered a new investment field. Even some old friends who have good friendship, such as Blankfein and Mai Jinzheng, still have reservations for us.

   In addition to providing some help to Vision Capital, they also secretly observe us, and will determine their resource preference based on the next step of Vision Capital. "

  Xia Jingxing and his party followed the dog into an apartment building.

   In the elevator, Xia Jingxing continued to introduce the market environment currently facing Envision Capital to Xiaodog and Ivanka.

   Today's Vision Capital, although already regarded as one of Wall Street's princes, still has a long way to go from its dominance.

   Ivanka laughed: "Didn't Envision Capital acquire AIA and Marvel with leverage?"

  Xia Jingxing shook his head gently, "The acquisition of Marvel did not use leverage, and the future performance of AIA, which is a leveraged buyout, remains to be seen.

   Now the whole of Wall Street says that I am a great man, and AIG should give me a Loyalty Employee Award. "

   The little dog said with an angry face: "Those people know shit! Sooner or later, they will be slapped with facts."

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "Yes, facts speak louder than words, I don't have the same knowledge as them.

  At the moment, it is the most important thing to do the work in our hands in a down-to-earth manner.

The first phase of the   Real Estate Recovery Fund is only $1 billion, plus Mr. Friedrich's $200 million, and the $50 million contributed by the house.

  Vision Home, the rental company’s assets are only $1.25 billion, which is dozens of times larger than the real estate fund hegemons like Blackstone.

   But don’t be discouraged, this is just the beginning.

  Real estate is a good business, and this sentence works in any country.

  Because the four major areas of clothing, food, housing and transportation are the most basic living needs of people.

   Next, if Vision Home is operating well enough, Vision Capital will also initiate the establishment of the second and third real estate funds, and will continue to inject capital into Vision Home.

   At the same time, Vision Home can also initiate horizontal mergers and acquisitions to rapidly expand its own size by annexing other rental companies. "

   Hearing these words, Ivanka was extremely excited, and her eyes were full of brilliance.

   She was about to speak when the elevator door suddenly opened.

   Then everyone heard a hysterical roar, which seemed to be the voice of a woman.

   Then came the roar of a group of men, it felt like a quarrel? Or fight?

   The little dog couldn't help frowning. This is a high-end apartment he bought. It costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why is it so smoky?

  Xia Jingxing and Ivanka didn't feel anything at all. They were about to get out of the elevator when Zhang Chenguang walked out first.

   "Daeron, Ivanka, wait a moment and then go over there."

   After finishing speaking, Zhang Chenguang gestured to a white bodyguard who was about 1.9 meters tall and strong like a bear, "Pete, you go take a look with me first."

  Therefore, Zhang Chenguang and Pete quickly ran to the front to explore the way, while Xia Jingxing, Ivanka, Little Dog and several bodyguards stayed at the elevator entrance to wait for news.

   "Why do I seem to hear a woman crying out loud?"

   The little dog looked puzzled, and he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, making sure that he heard it right, and that someone was really crying.

   Xia Jingxing and Ivanka nodded to the puppy, but did not answer.

   The two of them are thinking about other things. It seems that the environment here is not very good!

   Ivanka rubbed Xia Jingxing with her elbow, and whispered in his ear, "If it were all in such a bad environment, even if we renovated the apartment, it would be difficult to rent out a high price."

  Xia Jingxing nodded lightly, now he finally felt the difficulty of being a charterer.

   Don't look at the uncle of Yangcheng who steps on a pair of flip-flops and earns hundreds of thousands or millions a month by riding a small electric donkey, but the sadness behind the management of dozens or hundreds of houses, does anyone understand?

  Suddenly, "Bang Bang Bang ~", there was a burst of gunshots!

   Ivanka's face changed greatly and subconsciously hugged Xia Jingxing's arm tightly.

  Xia Jingxing glanced sharply towards the place where the gunshots came from, his expression quickly became serious, could it be that someone was ambushing him?

  Who will it be?

The few bodyguards who stayed at the elevator entrance responded quickly. They put their hands into their arms, took out the pistols they were carrying, and quickly took a few steps forward to protect Xia Jingxing and the three of them tightly with their bodies. behind.

   At the same time, another bodyguard pressed the elevator button, preparing to cover the employer's retreat.

  Xia Jingxing is very shy, and the bodyguards hired have concealed gun licenses in multiple states.

   At the critical moment, the puppy was in danger. He pointed to the side and said, "There are stairs here, let's evacuate the building first."

   Just when Xia Jingxing and the three were about to evacuate here under the **** of bodyguards, Zhang Chenguang and Pete who went to explore the way came back.

  The two of them turned around and saw several black muzzles aimed at them, subconsciously dodged back, and then put their hands into the inner pockets of their jackets alertly.

   "Pete, is that you?" Someone suddenly shouted among the bodyguards left behind.

   Hearing the familiar voice, Zhang Chenguang and Pete breathed a sigh of relief, then walked out with confidence, and quickly reminded their teammates to put away their guns.

   At the same time, Zhang Chenguang also quickly explained to Xia Jingxing what was going on.

   "There was a woman who couldn't pay her mortgage, but she refused to leave because of the house. After the bank sued, the court issued an eviction order, and the police just came to deliver the eviction order.

   For some reason, the woman suddenly broke down and ran to get the knife.

   The police officer felt life-threatening and had to shoot! "

   Ivanka covered her mouth and said in horror: "Ah, is it dead?"

   Zhang Chenguang shook his head, "No one died, because the police used rubber bullets, and after a few shots, the woman was subdued."

   "Rubber bullet, is that woman white?"

   Zhang Chenguang looked at Xia Jingxing in surprise, "How do you know it's white?"

   Xia Jingxing didn't answer, he took a knife. If he was black or Asian, the police officer would reward him with metal bullets.

   After a while, a group of police officers came over with a middle-aged white woman in handcuffs.

   Seeing such a large group of people blocking the elevator entrance, a young white police officer came over suspiciously.

  Pete went up to negotiate with the police officer and showed his ID.

  The police officer glanced at the stubborn Pete, and then glanced at Xia Jingxing and Ivanka who were surrounded by the stars and the moon.

   After seeing Ivanka's figure and appearance clearly, the police officer looked a little resentful, and wanted to check the documents of the Asian man.

   Just as he was about to act, Pete took a step to the side, stopped the policeman, and whispered a few words to him with his head down.

   The young police officer's face turned blue and white, but in the end he didn't dare to show off his might in front of Xia Jingxing.

   However, when he returned to the team, he ran out to say a few words to the middle-aged police officer who led the team.

   The middle-aged policeman glanced at the well-dressed Xia Jingxing, and then looked at the group of powerful bodyguards around him, but in the end he didn't help this little brother out.

  He, who has been in the police force for more than 20 years, has never seen any battles, and these people can't afford to offend him at first sight.

   He doesn't want to be unemployed in middle age, because several mouths in the family are counting on his skin to eat.

   patted the young policeman on the shoulder, and the middle-aged policeman said earnestly: "You are still young, be cautious, and don't ruin your good life!"

   As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator arrived, and the group of police officers escorted the white woman with blood stains on her face into the elevator car.

  Before the elevator doors closed, the young police officer gave Xia Jingxing a deep look, as if he wanted to remember this face.

   "Daren, are you all right?"

   The frightened Ivanka finally regained her composure, and then she quickly noticed that there was something wrong with Xia Jingxing's face.

   When the gunshot rang, his face was not so ugly.

  Xia Jingxing shook his head and smiled at Ivanka, "It's alright, this is the first time I've seen a law enforcement scene in the United States, and it feels a little fresh."

   "Oh, it's the first time I've seen such a scene, and I was so worried just now."

   Xia Jingxing lightly stroked Ivanka's back and comforted the other party a few words.

   At the same time, he was also thinking about the behavior of the young police officer just now!

   He saw a hostility, and perhaps discrimination, in the eyes of the young police officer.

   Even a white guy like him can't own this superb large peaches, why do you, an Asian, have them? Xia Jingxing guessed that perhaps the young police officer felt unbalanced!

  When Pete had already shown his ID and reminded him "friendly", the young police officer seemed to want to make trouble, and wanted to provoke the police officer who led the team to stand up for him.

  Fortunately, he brought a lot of bodyguards with him today, otherwise he, Ivanka, and the dog would have been humiliated.

   He is also a well-known rich man, with a worth of 30 billion US dollars on the bright side, how dare a police officer be so bold?

  Either the young police officer just didn't recognize who he was and only noticed the color of his skin.

  Either have recognized who he is, but deliberately pretended not to know! Checking the documents at the place where the crime occurred, it is normal law enforcement, and there is no violation.

   But if he was white, it is estimated that after Pete showed his ID, the policeman would leave in a daze, how dare he continue to bark his teeth.

   This is the real bald eagle, discrimination is everywhere.
