Chapter 409 Consultation on Important Matters
After the three-day competition, it is natural to celebrate.
The location of the party is chosen based on the principle of proximity, which is at An's Winery. The owner of the winery is An Feng, but An Feng's sister and brother-in-law are currently managing it, and they usually live here. Three years ago, they humbly took the time to learn from Old John, and now they have a lot more knowledge than An Feng.
Actually, if you want to ask An Feng about the process of brewing wine, he will make a mistake.
The winery organized a banquet, and several contest winners celebrated here. Since the children were present, they only drank a little wine, and the rest were open-air banquets. The style was very free, and the children ran and ran on the lawn , the adults find a place to sit down, eat something, and chat.
An Feng looked at everyone: "The holiday is here, what are your plans?"
Matthew reminded: "Stay in the United States at the end of June, we have something to discuss."
"What's the matter?" An Feng asked.
Matthew said: "For the investment issue, other friends will come, and the location is chosen by you, so it is best to arrange your vacation plan after July."
"I know." An Feng nodded, and Matthew expressed the importance of the matter without saying much.
In the past few years, the consortium has developed rapidly, economically and politically, and has flexed its fists at will. Competitive companies in the United States have gone through the stage of decline and replacement. Back then, Bazel told him that his opponent had a dispute of interest, but now he is either bankrupt or facing a desperate situation.
During this process, the U.S. government also provided convenience to the consortium.
The reason is simple. Although commercial competition will knock down many companies, the government cannot attack the Texas consortium—because they bring far more economic benefits than the eliminated companies, whether it is from the perspective of profit or survival of the fittest. , will select them.
So the current capital of the consortium has expanded more than ten times, dominating one side.
After An Feng confirmed the time, he continued to discuss the vacation plan with them. Alice came running at this moment: "Dad, we want to go to the island for vacation."
"Island? Sardinia?" An Feng said.
Alice nodded: "Yes, Harry and William both agreed to go, shall we go there to play?"
An Feng said: "But we still have a plan to go to China in July."
"June, July..." Alice read silently, and looked up happily: "Dad, there is still August!"
An Feng smiled suddenly: "You made the decision for the friends, right?"
The little girl turned around: "Harry, William, do you want to go?"
"I think." Harry and William said in unison.
"Dad, look." The little girl said.
An Feng said: "You have to discuss this with their parents. If you have time, it will be fine."
"Okay." Alice ran up to Matthew, aggressively: "Don Sinclair..."
As the godfather of the child, Matthew also watched her grow up, and has experienced these tricks: "Are you going to leave me room to refuse?"
"I haven't seen Sister Catherine for a long time!" she said with wide eyes, "Uncle Matthew!"
"Okay, okay." Matthew nodded with a smile.
…
There are important matters at the end of June, An Feng will stay in the United States first.
At the beginning of the month, Anfeng also had some activities. He and Joanna went to Las Vegas to participate in the jewelry exhibition. The invitation letter was sent by Miranda. In this regard, she is always chasing fashion. Similarly, jewelry is also a luxury consumption favored by ladies, and there are various big names or cutting-edge brands appearing every year.
This year's venue is the Mandalay Bay Hotel. Jewelers from all over the world will appear. In addition to the theme of jewelry, there are also some watches. However, it is mainly jewelry, and there are many exhibitors, ranging from big names such as Cartier and Tiffany to some lesser-known designers.
Even An Feng would be attracted by brightly colored jewelry when walking among them, not to mention women who naturally love beauty and have no resistance to bright colors. Both An Feng and Luo Jie became the foils, they just went to swipe their credit cards and drink champagne, and the ladies were responsible for the same test.
Later, it was really boring, so I was exiled.
Find a place to sit nearby. I walked with them for two hours just now, and my legs are weak.
After a casual meal at the hotel, I ordered a refreshing drink and chatted about the holiday. An Feng said, "Now there are three children going, do you want to join?"
"August?" Roger asked.
"That's the plan, but it still depends on everyone's time." An Feng said
"If there are no accidents, we will also go." Roger said, "I miss the pure natural beach there, you really bought a good place!"
"Adventures will always pay off." An Feng said with a smile. He has vigorously transformed the island to make it a top resort, and it is currently appreciating.
Then someone came to them.
An Feng raised his head and stood up: "Hey, Gu Li, long time no see!"
"Long time no see, Bruce!" Guri hugged him, then shook hands with Roger, said hello, and sat down again.
"Are you a security contractor?" An Feng looked at Gu Li's attire, a white shirt and black suit, which is not what tourists would wear unless they were talking about business in this weather.
"That's right." Gu Li nodded, and asked the waiter for a cup of coffee, "I'm so busy with business, I can only catch my breath."
An Feng said: "What's the matter this time, let you get on the horse yourself?"
Guri said: "There are always some people who like adventure."
An Feng understood that there must be big fish. The current Aegis Security is already a multinational company with branches in South America, the Middle East, and Africa. It is a bit inclined to military contracting, but it is mainly a private security business. It rarely engages in mercenaries, but the US government has given contracts.
Gu Li is a technical elite who also serves as the general counsel of the company. He belongs to the top management. He mainly targets some technical crimes, such as occasions where jewelry thieves may occur. .
But seeing Gu Li's calm look, it shouldn't be a big problem. An Feng didn't ask any more questions, and changed the subject: "How is Liana recently?"
"It's okay, but I'm not used to staying at home." Gu Li said that the environment can change a person, and this guy is about to become a father now. Liana is his wife and used to be a technical analyst for the company. A typical office romance. Later, he resigned and waited for delivery at home.
An Feng said: "You need to walk more, come and stay with me for a few days when you have time, and learn something from Joanna. Her experience is very helpful for pregnant women."
"I will." Gu Li said, took out his phone and looked at it, "Sorry, I have to deal with something."
"Go and get busy." An Feng nodded.
…
Visit the jewelry exhibition, and then go to other places to play, the time is very fast.
At the end of the month, the important members of the consortium gathered here in Anfeng. There are many advantages to choosing this place. It has a large area and security measures in place, so you don’t have to worry about being eavesdropped or monitored. Although holographic communication is already very developed, they are still used to talking face to face for some important matters.
The important members of the consortium were all present, and they were scattered all over the world a day ago.
Did not talk in the house, everyone chose to hang out in the backyard together. Walking from the artificial lake to the lawn, what they talked about was the scenery and things to do. An Feng and Andrew were talking about yachts, Bazel and Franson were talking about horse racing, and Matthew and Austin were talking about raising tigers. matter.
"The early training must pay attention to details and be frequent. It is like a pet dog. The habits formed during this period will directly affect the future..." Matthew kept talking, and they were all crowded in this rich man in Santa Barbara. In countless cities, it is easy to influence each other.
There are very few people in this gathering, but they are all the core. Every decision can affect the whole group, such as usual cooperation, major action direction, fund raising, etc. They can use offshore accounts quickly and conveniently without going through the bank. A deal is struck without anyone noticing.
The decisions made by this group of people have a wide impact.
For example, in the past few years, Anfeng has continuously invested and participated in the financial investment profits, and the final profit is nearly 20 billion. It feels like finding a place to put tens of billions of funds at leisure. After a period of time, the interest will be as high as 20 billion. Not to mention the commodity economy, which is crushing.
Bazel left the topic of horse racing: "After the Democratic Party came to power, we can't be as free as the Anderson administration. According to the current development trend, behaviors in many fields and accumulated funds are on the cutting edge. The risk is too great. We need a way. to digest..."
Anderson's two terms of office have passed. According to the rule of the emperor's rotation, this term is the Democratic Party's ruling. Although it is impossible to cover the sky with one hand, the United States is not a one-party dictatorship, but the initiative is in the hands of the other party, and the operation of the consortium is somewhat gray. After killing so many opponents, he bulged his pockets but caused a **** debt. Being a Big Mac is not easy, but being too high-profile is also troublesome.
Austin said: "Our group plays an important role in economic recovery. If the new president is not sensible, it would be better to let him suffer."
It can be said that the greatest contribution of the Anderson administration is to make the U.S. economy develop upwards, but what is criticized is that it cannot grasp the changes in the international situation accurately. Opponents declared in public that he is actually the spokesperson of the big capitalists, how conspiratorial and dark, to discredit the American hegemony and so on.
Although it is not clear where the naysayers came from...but it is true.
The Anderson government is less personal than the previous ones. Its behavior is more like speaking for a certain group and serving them. However, the scope of benefits is too wide, and the credit for this is huge. The strongest aspects bring on their own disgrace.
So even if you catch the consortium's pain points, you can only play superficial skills, and the consequences of tearing your face will be very serious.
But they are obviously used to lawlessness, Matthew said: "Set up a hedge fund and target North America and Europe. Behind the prosperity, the relationship between the two places is like a thin piece of paper, which can be broken with one poke. The prosperity of the euro, the dollar It's bound to come down, and this lever is going to be interesting."
Andrew smiled: "If you do this, no matter how tough you are, you will have to bend down."
An Feng does not have a deep understanding of the economy, but he also knows that the growth of the world economy is not what it appears on the surface, and some of it is artificially controlled. When a certain economy cannot withstand it, it will collapse. For example, the Asian housing market, where housing prices plummeted , the financiers who shorted the housing market must have made a lot of money.
Or, as Matthew said, start with the superficial prosperity of Europe today, and implement the characteristics that they can leverage the wealth of the United States. Even if it hurts the U.S. economy, who cares when it comes to money? They are capitalists, and their predecessors in the last century were willing to pour milk into the sea.
The method for the economy is nothing more than long, short, hedging investment and the like. Of course, the process is often a hundred times more complicated than the principle. This is the reason why Rand Investment Bank has a market value of tens of billions, but it can drive trillions of funds. Some people's brains are indeed born for "calculation".
Walking slowly around the manor, stopping occasionally, it took more than two hours after returning.
The idea of the consortium is to use everyone's funds to find something to do. The goal is not yet certain, but the matter is destined not to be small, because Anfeng alone can give more than 100 billion in funds, plus the consortium's spare capital, if you play big , The consortium with over trillions of funds can also afford it.
In addition to the commodity economy they control, if they use all-round actions, it will be no less than dropping a financial nuclear bomb.
