Han Chudong also knew it.
Knowing a lot of people does not necessarily mean that you are powerful. Relationships without conflicts of interest cannot be considered reliable.
As he becomes increasingly aware of the importance of interpersonal relationships, he will deliberately provide some channels for cooperation, such as waiving initial handling fees and management fees, and proposing an agreement to protect the principal, to help others invest.
The current conditions may not be too attractive, but he is confident that he can help others make money, and the scale of future profits is expected to be astonishing. As a result, he will always gain some fame and goodwill.
besides.
Some companies under the Mason United Group will also be listed when the time is right. By then, a large number of investors will be tied up to form a collective interest group. The golf club under construction can also provide Han Chudong with a stable social platform.
As long as he is willing, with his current strength and status, his social circle will undoubtedly expand over the years. It is already much better than at the beginning of this year.
The business is over.
Old Sam Walton went to check in first, and Jay Pritzker, founder of Hyatt Hotels Corporation, also went to help arrange the reception.
Jack Perez, a director of the Swiss Bank Group, probably thought he could get something from Han Chudong. Not only did he not leave, he also took the initiative to invite her, saying, "The party tonight should be very lively. Before that, how about having afternoon tea with me, an elderly man? To be honest, I also think that Walmart's development momentum is quite good. If you plan to take out a loan to invest in it, maybe I can discuss with the people in the North American branch and provide you with a considerable amount of funds."
This was exactly what Han Chudong wanted.
It's not that there is no way to continue borrowing from other places, but if you borrow money from one bank, there will be some small risks. Even he can't guarantee that the current main industry, Rainbow Beauty, can really maintain a good development momentum and will never be kicked by the bank.
What's more, the Swiss Bank Group, which is excellent in confidentiality, can provide him with great help in the global layout of assets.
He nodded and replied, "There should be a place in the hotel restaurant to sit and chat. Rather than borrowing money from your bank, I want to talk about another matter first. I need about 200 to 300 million US dollars in the near future to help me complete the transfer of assets. Everyone recommends that I find a Swiss bank to assist in handling this risk-averse transaction. Our conversation will not be spread out, right?"
"I promise that not a single word of this will reach anyone's ears. You have to believe in the credibility of our Swiss Bank Group. Even if the Chief Justice stands in front of our Swiss Bank employees, no one will dare to violate the confidentiality agreement."
Jack Perez guessed that he had probably come across a big business by accident. After saying this, he looked around and added, "There are a lot of people here. Tell me in detail what kind of help I need. Maybe we can go out and find a cafe."
…
Before.
Han Chudong made a special trip to Puerto Rico, the registered place of Mason United Group, to sign several financing agreements and equity transfer agreements.
His purpose was to hide his shares in Mason United Group in other places overseas and continue to hold them in the name of a shell company under his name.
This practice is very common among the wealthy, some for tax avoidance and some for asset transfer.
For the vast majority of wealthy businessmen at the top of the pyramid, what they think about is often not getting richer, but ensuring that they remain wealthy. For risk control purposes, they ensure that their eggs are placed in different baskets to avoid being left with nothing after suffering losses.
In addition to these two purposes, Han Chudong's reason for transferring shares was rather bizarre - he wanted to make himself look less wealthy and learn from others to be low-key.
The priceless shares were transferred, and the holes left in the accounts had to be filled up perfectly.
Even the most powerful accounting firm is unable to explain to the tax supervision agency why 15% of Mason United Group's shares were given to three other unknown small companies without any explanation, and without bringing any funds, fixed assets, etc.
During this process, it is necessary to borrow another sum of money to cover up the problems in the accounts, and transfer the money to the Mason United Group account through the three shell companies to create the false appearance that Han Chudong's equity was diluted after obtaining financing.
Although it is possible to achieve the same goal by going to Puerto Rico, a free state of the United States, and paying a price to ask for someone's leniency, it is better not to leave any evidence in this matter.
In movies, rich people always like to say that their money is in Swiss bank accounts.
There are a large number of banks in Switzerland, but most of them do a very good job in maintaining confidentiality. Activities that are considered illegal in many countries are merely violations in Switzerland, creating a fertile ground for the rich to flock in. It is said that 60 to 70 percent of the world's private assets are stored in these banks.
These banks will often provide some necessary assistance, whether legal or illegal. As long as you pay enough, you can get what you want.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Therefore, when Jack Perez heard Han Chudong's request, there was no fluctuation on his face. He calmly helped him to make suggestions, saying that he could get a large sum of money to settle the account, but the price was that the interest rate was slightly higher than the average rate.
Han Chudong thought it was reasonable to pay a little bit of money, and the request to use the 15% of the company's shares as collateral was also acceptable.
In this way, the conversation between the two became very pleasant.
Although Mr. Jack Perez himself does not have much money, he is a director of a financial oligarch who manages assets worth hundreds of billions of dollars, and he will stand on the stage tomorrow to speak on behalf of the European banking industry.
Han Chudong does not have this opportunity. It can also be seen from the side that a person’s influence is not necessarily greater just because he has more wealth.
Compared with these financial giants and business tycoons, Han Chudong and the Mason United Group he founded can only be considered first-rate at best, and cannot be called an oligarchic giant.
Not to mention the top conglomerates, even many small local conglomerates with average strength have an overall scale larger than the Mason United Group.
So, when Han Chudong finished talking about business, he heard Jack Perez talk about the grievances and disputes between American financial groups. He suddenly felt that he still had a long way to go, and even thought about investing in a bank or investment bank...
