Chapter 187 The Ten Major Landlords in America
As night falls, Manhattan's Upper West Side becomes quiet.
The lights on the six-story old building next to the sycamore tree are on, and the railing gates are closed tightly. From time to time, bodyguards can be seen walking back and forth.
In the living room.
The box was filled with rose gold cards. Han Xuan leaned over and took out one, picked it up and looked at it. It was engraved with two names: "Chairman of Snow Mountain Investment Company" and "Assistant of the President of Marvel Comics Company", and his name and number were also written.
The business card has no edges and corners, and the curve of the upper left corner is much larger than the other three. It is weighed in with the palm of your hand, which makes it quite weighty.
When I opened another box, the cards were the same, but only the grandfather's name and company number were engraved. With his status, that was enough.
Seeing his grandson's face, Mr. Han smiled and said, "I have used up my business card and I will make a batch for you. You can't take a piece of paper out. It's too embarrassing to be the face of your boss, the boss of a big company."
"Don't laugh at me, you know what I'm talking about with Donald Trump, right?" Han Xuan said with a rolling eyes.
The old man nodded, sat on the sofa and turned on the TV, while watching the news of NBC TV at 7:30 in the evening. Several experts were talking about Russia's issues, and they fully expressed their disdain in their conversation and behavior, believing that a situation of many strong people was forming, and the EU could only follow the United States and eat badly.
He smiled and said, "I did a good job. Even if I can get a piece of land, I will pass the exam. As for investing in Trump's company, the time is pretty good now.
The Federal Reserve raised interest rates in February this year, and has not yet made the progress they expected. However, the unemployment rate has dropped a little. It can be seen from SoS Group's monthly statement that the turnover has increased by 4.52%, indicating that the economy has indeed improved and residents' awareness of ahead of schedule has increased.
Funds have flowed back from developing countries to the United States, driving the stock market to continue to rise for half a year, but I think there are many bubbles. Judging from the current economic level, the Dow Jones Index is not enough to break through 3,900 points.
Since 1992, we have experienced 10 economic crises. Those people are scared. As long as they find some trouble, a large amount of funds will be withdrawn. Some of the money left in the United States will always flow into the real estate market.
Donald Trump is very smart. He has a close relationship with the local real estate developers in New York and the Republican Party. He should be able to make some money this time, but land speculation is easy to attract hatred. If you see the direction of the wind is wrong, you should withdraw it quickly. The company was founded by him. I don’t think he would like to keep so many shares in your hands.”
"Well, I know, leave the rest to Mr. Anthony." Han Xuan said, inserting the business card in his hand back into the box.
The female housekeeper came over and asked them to go to dinner. The old man nodded and put his hand on his grandson's shoulder: "I originally planned to buy a building on Fifth Avenue to open a branch, but now it seems that I have to speed up. I can also take your ride and earn some money for retirement. The agency told me some time ago that there was a store for sale, but I didn't know if it was sold. I forgot about it. How about it? Are you tired of doing business?"
"Fortunately, when you get on track, you will leave the small things to the company's people to take care of, and there is not much to do." Han Xuan looked up at his grandfather and said with a smile.
"If you want to blame, blame your dad. I have studied corporate management in college for several years, and I have used it all on the ranch. If I can become a top ten landlord like John Malone and Stan Kroenke, I can help me with it, and I don't have to let you interfere in these things now."
Helping Han Xuan open the chair, the old man said: "Especially John Malone, his cable channel can be combined with Mercury's News Corp, as well as Viacom, Paramount, CBS wrestlers in the hands of Summer Redstone. It's over."
"My dad"
Han Xuan remembered his father's personality and his eyebrows twitched.
The 80,000-acre snow-mountain ranch made him complain. If he had really achieved the top ten landlords, at least more than 800,000 acres, the most were close to two million acres, and they were still being purchased one after another. I guess he would have escaped without a trace.
However, acquiring land is indeed a good way. I have only experienced the first sixteen years of the new century. At that time, I will stand on the same starting line with others and always leave a way out for myself. I can live a stable life if I fail.
American land can obtain permanent easement. As long as the United States exists for one day, the land you buy will belong to your own.
I wondered how big the 2 million acres that John Malone owned, and muttered: "From the future, the fifteen directly under the jurisdiction of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, a county, will have a total area of more than 6,000 square kilometers, and ten thousand acres will be nearly 40 square kilometers. In fact, my mother is 2,000 square kilometers larger than the entire Shanghai Stock Exchange."
"Shanghai Stock Exchange?"
Mr. Han received: "Huaxia, since my grandfather has been thinking about going back again.
After President Nixon visited China in 1972, relations between the two countries eased. My father was 60 years old that year and was about to go there. He had just obtained a visa and was in poor health. He died within two years.
In 1979, Mr. Deng came to the United States for nine days at the invitation of President Carter. During this period, I rushed to Washington to pick him up and saw him once from a distance. However, at that time, Sos had just developed, and he had no status and could not speak. He went to thousands of Chinese. The White House had not been so lively before.
President Carter held a formal ceremony to grandly welcome the vice president of another country and accompany Mr. Deng to review the guard of honor of the three armies, which is very rare in diplomatic history.
I was so excited at that time, you didn’t know.”
Han Xuan is indeed not very clear, but he can imagine it.
He lowered his head and held the steak with a fork, cut it with a knife, and said, "Huaxia has developed quite well in recent years. I thought about putting the main sales focus of the automobile industry there, but I need to join the business with local automobile manufacturers to allow entry into the market. I have not found a suitable manufacturer yet."
"This is also impossible. The joint venture can learn technology and provide local jobs in China."
The old man had never heard of this before, so he turned around and figured out the situation and continued: "The joint venture should reduce taxes. The cost of building cars in the United States is high, plus the cost of shipping and tariffs, the price of cars will be much higher. To find a suitable company, build the factory there.
A large number of cheap Chinese-made products poured into the US market in the past few years, causing the US government to believe that it disrupted the trade balance between the two countries.
So in 1992, the Chinese government purchased 3,010 Ford Tempo from Ford Motor Company to use it as a Chinese taxi and tourist bus. According to my investigation, it is not enough for a city to use. You can imagine how big the gap is."
"Well, I'll have an appointment with Mr. Anthony tomorrow and discuss this matter at that time."
Han Xuan said: "I think after joining this time, the number of American supermarkets will fall into saturation. The market in China has not yet opened. Now is a good time."
"I considered that the commercial spy revealed the news to me, and Walmart also had ideas about this. Huapuyuan Company is collecting information on the other side. After I handled the matter during this period, I will go to China. Due to historical reasons, I have not been back."?
Han Xuan was anxious and choked the steak hard: "Take me with me!"
