When Wu Xue got up in the morning, she continued to go out with her classmate Alice, and Ran Feifei was going to inspect the dining environment in Athens. Zhou Ya and Bai Feng looked at the sky outside. Apparently they didn't plan to go out during the day, so they shared their parenting experiences in the house.
Wei Fei wanted to go to the stadium where the opening ceremony was held, and Yang Dongxu wanted to discuss the real estate investment environment in Dubai with Yu Yi, so he went to the high-end suite of the hotel building instead of accompanying him.
"That brother of yours must be very good in China, right?" The hotel's special car took them from the villa to the place where they were going to visit today.
Alice is a bit crazy. Although she is serious and cold in person, she is a little cheerful in reality. However, compared to the previous excitement when faced with the lively environment in front of her, she was undoubtedly more curious about Wu Xue's two relatives at this time.
Although she didn't know the identities of Yang Dongxu and Zhou Ya, the single-family villa in that hotel was even better than the presidential suite. You couldn't live in it with money, especially when the number of tourists for the Olympic Games was still high. Peak period.
At the same time, although Yang Dongxu's speech and behavior have not undergone any strict etiquette training, the aura of a superior person unintentionally exuded is enough to make people look at him. Not to mention Zhou Yana, she has worked hard on etiquette.
Although she didn't have the aura of a superior queen before, the elegance exuded by the image of a good wife and mother was enough to make Alice feel a little ashamed of herself.
And when she saw the watch on Yang Dongxu's hand, she once again raised her eyebrows at Zhou Ya, two relatives with extraordinary temperaments and financial resources.
As a model, Alice has an in-depth study of luxury goods, and she has a deep study of watches among luxury goods. At the same time, this well-researched watch is not a women’s watch, but a men’s watch.
It cannot be said that girls who are models are all snobbish and want to be sugar daddies. But with so many men constantly getting in front of you every day, you have to have some ability to distinguish between rich men and idiots, right?
A man's dress is much simpler than that of a woman. Putting aside the clothes on her body, a woman has all kinds of jewelry. You can even tell the woman's taste from her bag, lipstick color, and even perfume. and grade.
Men are undoubtedly much simpler, leaving aside their metaphysical temperament. The only things that can be distinguished with the naked eye are watches, belts and leather shoes.
Among the three, watches are undoubtedly the real core for judging whether a man is really rich and has good taste. After all, no matter how extravagant the belts and shoes are, $100,000 is basically the end of it. Limited editions and the like can be bought with the grit of one’s teeth.
But watches are different. Really good watches can cost hundreds or even tens of millions. This is not something that some small assets can pretend to be.
Therefore, it is relatively more accurate to use a watch to measure a man's net worth. For example, a man who can afford a watch worth RMB 500,000 needs to start with a net worth of RMB 10,000,000. Even if you want to buy such a watch to support your appearance, you don’t have the courage to touch a watch at this price without having to spend millions.
If a man carries a watch worth over a million dollars, it goes without saying that he is definitely a rich man who can afford it. After all, a watch is not a necessity. Since mobile phones have become popular, people will not feel anything out of the ordinary even if you don’t wear a watch. On the contrary, it can be said that I am used to concisely raising the B grid.
If you don’t wear it early, you won’t show any timidity. If you can put a million-level watch on your wrist, what is a person if you are not a rich man?
The watch that Yang Dongxu was injured on is a top-notch floating tourbillon watch produced by the Glashütte Watch Factory that has been very popular in recent years.
When you think of watches, you may think of classic Rolex, Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin and other well-known luxury brands. Anyone who pays a little attention to watches in China knows the names of these luxury goods.
But Glashütte sounds a bit strange, and some people even don’t know what it is for. But in the world's luxury watch market, this German company can definitely rank among the top 10 luxury watches.
In particular, the floating tourbillon watch launched in 1999 simply created a new era in the luxury watch industry. The price of a tourbillon movement can easily exceed one million, let alone the entire watch.
For such a watch that is highly praised and enthusiastic among watch fans, Alice only knew a lot of written information and pictures. Occasionally I saw him once or twice at some very high-end banquets. I didn't expect to see this watch up close last night.
Alice's first reaction was that this was impossible, and then she wondered if it was fake. After all, under the propaganda of European and American newspapers, that ancient poor country in the East should be very poor.
Especially since she and Wu Xue are friends, those international students who stayed in the United States in various ways have deepened her prejudice against China. How could a Chinese person casually wear a watch worth 2 million US dollars on his wrist?
But after careful observation, she was shaken again, even though she didn't hold it in her hands to see. All the places that could be seen were matched one by one with the information she knew, and all of them were completely consistent without any flaws. This made it impossible for her to say that the watch was fake, or even a high imitation.
"My brother has been amazing since he was a child, and my sister-in-law has always been amazing as well." Wu Xue had a look of admiration on her face.
Then I was attracted by the small products in front of me and had no intention of talking about it in depth. Alice opened her mouth, but in the end she could only put down her curiosity and continued shopping with Wu Xue.
Now that she has made this discovery, she and Wu Xue are also good friends who have been in contact. It seems that the company's arrangements for him in the second half of the year include a job in China to do a catwalk, so I'll find out more about it when the time comes.
Of course, this inquiry is not because she has any thoughts about Yang Dongxu, such as getting a mistress to take over. Even if he might have had that thought, he completely extinguished it after seeing Zhou Ya. A woman's intuition told Alice that she couldn't afford to offend that woman.
In the senior suite of Hilton Hotel, Zhang Zhang reported to Yang Dongxu the current investment policy formulated with Yu Yi.
"About how much money do I need to borrow?" Yang Dongxu asked.
Since it is real estate speculation similar to financial investment, then not using bank leverage is simply a mistake. Although Yang Dongxu has a serious small-farmer mentality and doesn't like to owe money, he feels uneasy when he owes money to others. He can be said to be an oddity among rich people.
But this does not mean that Yang Dongxu will be so stupid that he will not even use any conventional means. Indeed, investing with leverage is like a gambler on the gambling table. He wins a huge profit, but loses everything and is still burdened with huge debts.
According to his current grade and status, he shouldn't have turned into a red-eyed gambler while sitting at the gambling table, but should have been the banker in a calm and calm manner.
But he has shown that he is invincible in the past, and Hurricane Construction has never made a mistake in overcoming obstacles along the way. Therefore, both the charter and Yu Yi, as well as Zhao Yu, who has not yet arrived but has communicated remotely and is always paying attention to this matter, feel that there is no problem in using bank leverage.
There is no doubt that Yang Dongxu's never-failed investment in golden bodies played a key role. In addition, everyone is playing this way now. Although hurricane architecture has always been an alternative among peers, there is nothing out of the ordinary about playing it occasionally and there have been many examples before.
“I have carefully calculated with Managers Yu and Zhao, as well as Manager Huang from the Finance Department, and found that the risk of triple leverage is within control.
And Prince Kurza probably won’t care either. No matter how high it is, the risk may not increase much, but withdrawing will be too big and may cause unnecessary trouble to you and the company. "Zhang Cheng said.
When I think about leverage, especially those who play futures, they basically start with 10 times leverage. 50 times is considered normal operation, and 100 times is considered exciting. In short, if you call 3 times leverage, you will be laughed at.
But this joke also depends on the principal amount, right?
Hurricane Construction is planning to invest US$10 this time, and Chen Xin, the investment department of Rising Sun Technology, has also joined in, bringing with him Yang Dongxu’s venture capital from China, investing US$500 million to join.
Coupled with the preferential policies given to him by Dubai and the approximately 500 million funds that Kurza will provide. Not counting those discounts, the total is already US$2 billion.
If such a large amount of money is leveraged by 3, it would be a minimum of 6 billion US dollars to play casually. Many Fortune 500 companies do not necessarily have that much market capitalization. It should be seen clearly that the market value has a lot of water, not dry goods that have squeezed out the water.
Therefore, the investment of such a large asset is enough to shock many people's attention, even if it only uses 3 times leverage.
With an investment of US$10,000, even if you use 100 times leverage, even if there are no various handling fees and commissions, you will only earn 1 million if you succeed.
But an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars is actually making money as long as it does not depreciate. If it can get a 20% return. That is an absolutely successful case. A group of big guys are partying and begging you to help them manage their finances. The base number is too large and each percentage point is many times 100.
"Have you calculated the expected profit?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"The specific projects and the policies obtained have not yet been discussed, so it is impossible to estimate for the time being. However, according to the current preferential policies offered by Dubai to attract foreign investment, the minimum expected profit will be around 1.5 times, if more preferential policies can be obtained.
And if Prince Kurza stands behind him and gives a guarantee, then the return in the next three years will be about 50% in the first year. The next day it will be around 160%, and in the third year it will exceed 200%. Three years from now it will still depend on the specific impact of Dubai’s policies. "The answer was Yu Yi.
"Then we will work out a detailed investment plan based on the current Dubai policies, and based on this, I will enter into negotiations with Prince Kurza as soon as possible."
Yang Dongxu has no reason not to invest, not to mention the further relationship with Kurza after the cooperation. Even an investment of at least 1.5 times is still very rewarding.
He knew about the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008. It was already the second half of 2004. If he had stopped at the end of 2007, it would have been almost three and a half years. With an investment of 1.5 billion, a profit of about 4 billion with principal and interest was achieved in three and a half years.
If this profit value is taken out, even the stock god Buffett will give a thumbs up, and even ask with a little expectation: "Old driver, can you take me with you?"
Because this is a doubled return on the basis of 1.5 billion, not a few million, but a small amount of tens of millions. This profit is enough to make countless investors crazy.
