Chapter 66 Locke's Goal
Chapter 66 Locke's goal
As big figures appeared next to Locke one after another, the circle where he was soon became the most eye-catching place in the entire cocktail hall.
Locke chatted with them one by one and exchanged business cards. In just a while, he had a stack of business cards on his hand.
Now we have only had a preliminary contact with these people, and there may be cooperation or competition in the future. With the development of the future, Locke's connections will continue to expand.
This is also the biggest purpose of this type of cocktail party.
"Mr. Carrington's insights into the energy industry opened my eyes." Locke smiled and chatted with the middle-aged man in front of him, and his information quickly flashed through his mind.
His super strong brain is enough to record the information of these people before attending the banquet and cater to his preferences.
The Carrington family has a great influence in the energy and electricity industry, but what attracted Locke's attention was that he owns stake in A. Online.
American Online mainly provides Internet services, and is currently the largest Internet service provider in the United States, and it is also Locke's goal.
This company is not very prominent now, but it will soon make its mark on Nasdaq with the development of the Internet, and will become an Internet company with a market value of 100 billion yuan around two thousand years ago.
This ends with this topic. The two of them chatted casually. Mr. Carrington suddenly waved and pulled a girl who looked extremely young:
"Faron, haven't you always wanted to know Mr. Locke Lee? He's here now, so don't miss the opportunity.
Members of her family enjoy everything they have now, including material things, fame, etc. The most important of which is money.
Based on Locke's age, she judged that Ashley was at most a "little toy" that Locke used to spend time. Even if her appearance and figure were slightly better than her, it was nothing important.
Unfortunately, American Online has not found the right direction for the future development of the Internet. After the two thousand years of Nasdaq stock market crash, it has been in a slump and its stock price has fallen all the way.
"The Internet is a new industry and is closely related to the computer industry. I am very interested in it, but there is no chance at the moment..."
If you simply use money to acquire the shares of American Online in Mr. Carrington, you will inevitably have a premium, but if it is a share exchange, there will be more places to negotiate, which is equivalent to taking each other's needs, from a buyer's market to mutual benefit and mutual benefit between both parties
.
Although Ashley was wearing a customized dress and the jewelry she wore was also Tiffany's latest style, from her behavior, Fallon could tell that Ashley was not from a wealthy family.
The operating problems of AOL seriously dragged down Time Warner Group and also caused Time Warner's stock price to plummet, and eventually the AOL and Time Warner split.
"Of course." Locke responded with a smile.
Locke looked at the blonde girl who had always kept a decent smile in front of her. She looked and figured, and had a tender face. She should be less than 20 years old.
"Hello, I have heard a lot of rumors about you. My father also said that if my brother and I can have the same skills as you, he will be much more worry-free."
But from the eyes you can tell that it is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is different from most of the rich N generations of New York at this age.
"Mr. Carrington has been awarded the award. I don't know how many people will be envious of such a beautiful and intelligent daughter."
Compared to Disney, which only began to gradually become glorious twenty years later, Locke felt that this was a good opportunity to control a media group faster.
It was because at that time, it would merge with Time Warner Group, the largest entertainment media company.
"This is the advice of my investment consultant, and it simply doesn't cost much," Carrington said. "I don't know much about companies like this."
The reason why people have not invested in Sky Fund Company immediately is because Locke is too young and appears too suddenly, and it will take some time to observe.
Locke took out his own bargaining chips. The Carrington family mainly operates energy-related industries, and of course they have ideas about oil and gas shares.
Locke in front of him has amazing past achievements, which means he has the ability to make money more, so unless he fails one day one, everyone wants him to help him manage his finances.
The reason why Locke is following this company is that he has ideas about the shares of AOL in Mr. Carrington's hands is not just because of its rapidly increasing share price.
The next two people seemed to be very speculative, which made Ashley feel the threat and couldn't help pinching Locke's arm.
"Then what conditions do you plan to impress me." The Americans prefer to go straight to the business. He doesn't care much about the shares of American Online, but since Locke wants to buy it, he must take the opportunity to open a good price.
"Mr. Carrington's words are a bit exaggerated. As far as I know, you also invested in AOL last year."
In a wealthy family, she understood some truths earlier than her peers in many circles.
“I have some shares in oil and gas companies, not many, but they are worth enough to compare to the shares in AOL in your hands.”
"If there is this opportunity." Locke did not intend to hide his ideas. The current American Online is not prominent. Perhaps he took the initiative to propose that it would give the other party a chance to raise prices, but he did not want to miss this opportunity.
Lee, this is my daughter Fallon." Mr. Carrington introduced the two of them with a smile.
Fallon Carrington in front of him seemed to be more scheming. After Mr. Carrington introduced him, the smile on his face became more enthusiastic:
"It seems that you young people all like new things." Mr. Carrington smiled, "Not old antiques like me."
Fallon seemed to have noticed Ashley's little moves, but she didn't care too much.
As long as you control enough equity and make internal adjustments, you can completely block Disney's development path and replace Dibao's future glory.
Hearing this, Carrington understood what Locke meant: "Do you want the equity in A. Online in my hands?"
Sure enough, after Locke said this, Mr. Carrington's interest increased significantly: "It sounds good, let's do it, find a chance another day, let's talk about it alone."
This also brought some problems. Its equity has become extremely complex, with serious internal storms and gradually lagging behind in development. Time Warner, originally the leader of the media group, was eventually surpassed by the smiling Mickey Mouse.
But Locke can take advantage of the merger of the two to exchange for enough Time Warner equity, and at the same time, when Time Warner Group's share price falls, he will take the opportunity to acquire more equity.
Just like Martin Channing, Peter Lynch, Buffett, and others who are now extremely famous in the circle.
Most of the rich N generations of this age have good foundations due to good family education, but they are more concerned about what sports car to drive, where to have lively parties, or where to travel.
With the continuous mergers and expansion, Time Warner Group is becoming larger and larger.
So Locke is now showing enough enthusiasm for Carrington: "I am optimistic about the computer industry, so I invested in companies such as Intel, Apple, Microsoft, IBM, etc."
At that time, with the help of the media group, you can also vigorously promote "The Arcane God" and the upcoming "The Lord of Mysteries", thereby increasing the reputation of your writers and gaining potential points.
My father introduced that he and Locke met, and he had some plans. After all, he was about the same age as Locke in front of him, both at eighteen years old.
Starting from the twenty-six families in the United States, the upper class of this country has never broken off marriage.
The top ten consortiums in the United States have become daunting interest groups through complex means such as marriage and cross-holding.
This is also a common method for the rich class. It is of course good to succeed, but it doesn’t matter if you fail. Just maintain a good relationship.
