Yi Feiyang left Los Angeles quietly. No one knew when he left. Except for a few senior executives of Fantasy Entertainment, not even Anne Hathaway knew where he went.
By plane, Yi Feiyang flies directly to Chicago.
As one of the four major cities in the United States, New York is gorgeous and fashionable, and it is also the political and economic center of the United States. Los Angeles is a steel industry city with strong economic power. Philadelphia is an ancient and romantic place, similar to Paris in France, where romance is most likely to occur.
. And Chicago carries a century of American culture, from tap dance, to big theater companies, to symphonies, Chicago is a proud cultural holy place in the eyes of the United States.
After Yi Feiyang arrived in Chicago, he got off the plane and rushed straight to the auction site he was planning to attend.
What greeted Yi Feiyang was an investment broker named Thomas, who was introduced by Alex. Since Alex became the well-deserved investment manager of Fantasy Entertainment, his popularity has increased and he is known as the most promising in the industry.
's manager.
As an old friend of Alex, Thomas has been looking for opportunities, hoping that Alex can introduce the big boss Yi Feiyang to him. Now, his wish has finally come true.
The reason why Yi Feiyang has high hopes for Thomas this time is because this time he is trying to win a piece of land that is expected to double in size in five years. It is a piece of land in the North District of Chicago. The area is not particularly large.
The valuation is only 300 million, but it is the largest real estate investment of Dream this year.
According to the calculations of the Investment Department, it is unanimously believed that the price of this land is only less than 300 million, because this land is not really popular. But for Yifeiyang, whether he can win this land is the second most important thing.
is the real purpose of his coming to Chicago this time...
In fact, Yi Feiyang is really not short of money at the moment. He is also not short of land. Especially there are many properties under his name. He has two villas worth more than 20 million, and another 100 million invested in Trump Real Estate.
It was increased to 800 million. Google's shares began to skyrocket after experiencing the bubble crisis. Currently, Yi Feiyang holds at least more than a billion shares, as well as investments in Hilton Hotels, other shares held by it, and other industries. Rough calculations, currently
Yi Feiyang's net worth actually exceeds 6 billion US dollars!
To be precise, Yifeiyang has a huge cash flow of 3 billion, which is unique among companies in the entire United States.
Recently, a new list appeared on the Forbes rich list in the United States, and Yifeiyang ranked 78th with a net worth of US$6 billion.
However, some interested people immediately pointed out that Yi Feiyang's cash flow is definitely among the top ten in the entire ranking. Even Bill Gates, who is first in the ranking, and Buffett, who is in second place, have to spend thirty dollars in one breath.
With 100 million US dollars, it is probably not an easy task.
Some even pointed out that Yifeiyang's most successful company, Fantasy Entertainment, has been refusing to go public. If it were to go public, it is estimated that it would be able to raise tens of billions of funds immediately. Then Yifeiyang is not ranked 78th on the list, but should be
7th or 8th place!
No matter what, for this guy who adheres to Chinese traditions and likes to carry cash in his pocket, many people are envious of him, and women are super interested in him. In the female admiration rankings, Yi Feiyang directly beats Tom Ke
Ruth, Leonardo and others ranked first.
Without further ado, when Yi Feiyang arrived at the auction site, the auction had already begun.
After the auctioneer called out the land price of 75 million, others called out a few more bids. When the price reached 90 million, Yi Feiyang added 5 million. Obviously, this was not enough to scare away the others.
.Finally a very heroic voice shouted: "One hundred million..."
Yi Feiyang curled up a smile and glanced at the proud white man.
"Hi, boss, this man's name is John Smith. He is the boss of Chicago Empire Company. He mainly engages in real estate and has diversified investment projects. In addition to magazines, there are also..."
Before Thomas could finish his introduction, Yi Feiyang suddenly added, "You still have investment in New Line Cinema, right?"
Thomas was stunned, "Yes." He closed his mouth. He didn't quite understand how Yi Feiyang knew this. Could it be that he had studied this Smith before? If that was the case, he would seem to be talking too much.
The auction master shouted the price again, and while others were hesitating, Yi Feiyang smiled at Smith: "One hundred and twenty million!"
Smith was stunned for a moment, then held up the sign: "One hundred and thirty million!"
Yi Feiyang said without politeness, "Two hundred million!"
Wow! The people present were shocked by the more heroic Yi Feiyang. Although they had seen many tycoons, there were very few bidders who behaved unreasonably like Yi Feiyang.
The Smith seemed to be stunned for a moment. At this time, someone whispered something in his ear. Smith gritted his teeth and said, "Two hundred and ten million!"
Yi Feiyang raised his hand: "Two hundred and fifty million!"
The crowd was in an uproar again.
Yi Feiyang smiled and raised three fingers towards Smith. The meaning was obvious. If you follow him again, you will shout 300 million this time.
Smith shook his head, couldn't help but walked over to Yi Feiyang, and whispered bitterly: "Is it China Yi? I don't know why you came to Chicago, but please leave some room for it, who can bear the price you raise!
"
It's no wonder that Smith could recognize Yi Feiyang. Nowadays, Yi Feiyang's reputation is so great that he has been interviewed by various newspapers, magazines, and TV media. Even if he doesn't know him, it's impossible.
Regarding Smith's "complaint", Yi Feiyang smiled mysteriously. He was not deliberately playing with Smith, but had another purpose, so he said: "OK, Mr. Smith from Empire Company, if you can guess my base price, then
I'll just let it go. Otherwise, if we both want it, we'll both lose..."
"Really? Is there no way to make you give up?" Smith looked at Yi Feiyang and asked. Smith is bound to get this land, because this land is related to the future real estate development plan of Empire Company.
"Well..." Yi Feiyang rubbed his nose, "Maybe... if you are willing to buy me a drink after the auction is over, then I will give up!"
Smith was startled again and looked at Yi Feiyang blankly. After confirming that Yi Feiyang was not joking, he smiled, slapped Yi Feiyang hard on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's a deal, man, I will
Please drink the best wine... from my cellar!"
Yi Feiyang smiled. According to his understanding, this Smith was famous in the circle for being true to his word and heroic, and he liked such a character.
Next, Yi Feiyang withdrew from the bidding as promised, and Smith, who had no strong competitor, finally won the land worth 300 million for 251 million.
Although Yi Feiyang did not win the land this time, he felt the excitement of bidding for hundreds of millions for the first time, especially the feeling of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions with just one mouth. It is really awesome and it is easy to make people feel...
He was intoxicated in the pleasure of squandering wealth. He couldn't blame him for seeing Smith look so excited. You know, when you have hundreds of millions of money in hand, it is really no different from the feeling of controlling people's life and death.
As Yi Feiyang's client, Thomas was very disappointed. He had done enough homework for this piece of land. When Yi Feiyang asked for 200 million, Thomas' heart almost jumped out of his throat. He was so excited that he just
I felt that I had followed Yi Feiyang in the right direction this time. I had a chance to show off my talents. But then the situation took a turn for the worse. Yi Feiyang actually gave up the bidding and watched helplessly as the piece of land worth 300 million that he had done all his homework for fell into the hands of the empire.
Company Smith hands.
At that moment, Thomas felt extremely depressed. In his opinion, he was about to be abandoned again and could never enter the mysterious circle.
Just when Thomas was discouraged, Yi Feiyang asked him to go with him to Smith's private villa to "taste the private collection." Thomas still had no interest in this. He couldn't drink gold ingots when he saw him.
In this way, Yi Feiyang had to reveal his little secret, "Hey, we are not going to actually drink, we are going to discuss investment projects..."
When Thomas heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Investment project?"
…
Smith's mansion is really luxurious. The almost wall-sized oil painting of Napoleon riding an horse hanging in the lobby of the villa is jaw-dropping.
Yi Feiyang once visited Clinton's private wine cellar, which could only be called a wine cellar, but Smith's private wine cellar in front of him could only be described as a winery. It was so big, it was really too big!
Louis XIV, worth more than 300,000 US dollars, was opened by Smith like a soda pop, and he poured a glass directly for Yi Feiyang.
"Thank you, Yi, your voluntary giving up saved me 50 million U.S. dollars!" Smith was very happy. After all, being able to exchange 300,000 yuan of fine wine for 300 million U.S. dollars of land was a "miss" for everyone.
.
"Haha, you're welcome. Actually, I still have a deal I want to discuss with you..."
"Business? Really? Then why don't you tell me and listen!" To be honest, Smith certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to think that Yi Feiyang wanted to drink.
"I heard that you invested more than 500 million in New Line Cinema before, right?"
"Oh yes, this company is quite good now. I heard that it is also very strong in the box office battle with you, right?" Smith looked at Yi Feiyang with a smile, waiting for the next step.
Yi Feiyang smiled brightly, "Yes, so I am very optimistic about this company. Can you transfer the 500 million shares you hold to me?"
"Ha!" Smith laughed, "So you are interested in this company, why didn't you tell me earlier? I am a businessman, yes, a businessman. As long as the price is reasonable, I can buy or sell anything!"
Yi Feiyang smiled and said, "I'm sorry, for the shares in your hands, I can offer up to 500 million at most!"
"Haha, are you kidding me? 500 million means I didn't make a penny and lost interest!" Smith spread his hands exaggeratedly, as if this was impossible.
Yi Feiyang still smiled calmly, but his tone became a bit sharp, "Nothing is impossible. If you don't agree, then you will probably not get a penny!"
Smith smiled, "What do you mean?"
Yi Feiyang hooked his hand behind him. Thomas, who had been following him, hurriedly handed the prepared information to Yi Feiyang. Yi Feiyang threw it to Thomas, "Take a look, man, see if I said it right."
real!"
Thomas picked up the information suspiciously and looked through it. After a moment, his expression changed drastically.
The information is almost all about New Line Cinema's recent capital flow status, as well as New Line Lending Bank's capital of up to 1 billion, etc.
"Yes, New Line's "Lord of the Rings" box office this time is as high as 800 million, but after throwing away the hundreds of millions of shooting costs, actors' remuneration, theater sharing, and taxes, the maximum profit can be 450 million, you say
, if I pass this information out, should they use the money to repay the bank loan, or return your investment?!" Yi Feiyang's words seemed to have infinite magic power, directly fixating Smith.
Smith remained motionless, with heaven and man fighting in his mind, thinking over and over again, designing various possibilities, and finally he made a decision, "Okay, man, but can you give me more, even if it's just poor drinking money?!"
Yi Feiyang shook his head coldly, "I'm sorry, you can't!"
