Chapter 289: Think Like a Rich Person



Han Chudong couldn't understand what the man with glasses was thinking.

If he was wronged, he might blame himself and make compensation.

But I think I'm not bad to the guy with glasses. As long as I can be patient, it won't be difficult to earn one or two million US dollars from toys in a few years.

If there are any ways to make money in the future, I will definitely take the other party with me. After all, it’s just a matter of talking and telling the other party which stocks to buy, and both parties will be happy.

I dare not say too high, but supporting someone to earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in 20 or 30 years would be as easy as eating and drinking for Han Chudong, so there is no need to worry about not having a good life.

But if you choose to distance yourself because of the psychological gap, then as Zhao Dajun said, it is better to part ways as soon as possible.

Let's talk about the gap.

Could it be that Zhao Dajun, or Zhou Nan, didn't feel the gap when they were with Han Chudong? Of course there was, and it was like a natural chasm, with a gap of ten digits, and it would probably be difficult to catch up in this lifetime.

But today in San Francisco, he was sitting in this ordinary barbecue restaurant with Da Jun and Da Jun's female companion, drinking beer that cost a few dozen cents a bottle, and they were very happy.

Ultimately it depends on the individual.

Han Chudong was too lazy to think about it, nor was he interested in caring about it.

In the new friendship that just started last year, the boy with glasses, who chose to study at home and whom they didn't see very often, was like an outsider. Han Chudong didn't care much at that time and asked about it actively. Da Jun and Zhou Nan also tried to persuade him, but he couldn't make up his mind and missed the opportunity. Who can he blame?

Maybe it's the controllable nature of the boy's parents, or maybe it's the boy himself, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with Han Chudong. If he has to let others make a lot of money from him in order to maintain their friendship, then he would rather not be involved in this way.

The conversation quickly turned to other matters, focusing primarily on the development of DreamWorks.

Two movies will start shooting next year. Han Chudong's meaning is that if they have enough money by then, they can plan a few more new projects. If Da Jun and the others have no money, they can borrow from him or from the bank first.

Zhao Dajun had no idea about the investment, so he just told him to handle it...

————————————

There is so much business that people often forget things. The role of secretaries and assistants becomes prominent at such times.

The last time I accompanied my mother out, I took the opportunity to visit the Beverly Hills Homeowners Association. They said that their project was about to start and might slightly disturb the residents along the way. They also said that once a golf course was built, plus one of the most expensive mansions in the United States, there was a chance that housing prices in Beverly Hills would reach new highs, which would be good for everyone.

Arthur's assistant received a reply this morning. On the way to the meeting, he told Han Chudong, "I just got the news. I received a call at about five o'clock yesterday afternoon. The proposal to borrow the road was rejected by the Beverly Hills Management Committee. The president said that she had helped. Voting was held for three consecutive weeks, and the final result was a ban. Maybe they are worried that you will use the remaining land to build more luxury houses, which will affect their interests. Maybe they are worried that the trucks will hit passers-by. Anyway, those rich people are more difficult to deal with."

The main structure of the building has been finalized and construction can start ahead of schedule. The golf club has been fully planned and a construction team is being selected through bidding in the near future.

It's not that we can't open a new road as we originally thought, or directly use helicopters to transport goods, but these all mean higher costs.

Given that there are other options, Han Chudong doesn't want to waste extra money.

It was just an insignificant matter. She smiled and said to Arthur, "When we get back to Los Angeles, go and help me sort it out. I'll give you a few golf club memberships with temporary exemptions for about five years. Just like I did with the councillors, try to get them to agree as soon as possible. I remember that the management committee members are mostly women, right? In addition, I'll provide some fashion week admissions, limited edition handbags, etc. Just let me know if you need anything."

Arthur's assistant said with emotion: "In this way, we should be able to easily deal with those staunch opponents at a very low cost. Boss, you have learned to think like a rich person."

"It's very American, isn't it? After understanding the rules of the game in American high society, I feel that dealing with everything has become simpler."

This is Han Chudong's true words.

Whether it is Rainbow Beauty or Baofeng Electric, they are both adopting the strategy of winning over a group of powerful enemies and then uniting with them to capture more markets, thus avoiding being targeted.

Recently, whenever a giant company expressed investment intention in Mason United Group and its other industries, Han Chudong would talk to the other party about the Mason Private Equity Fund's fundraising and that Mason Private Equity Fund would be given some priority in future financing and listing, instead of simply rejecting it outright as he had done in the past.

In order to continue to survive and grow, he spent a lot of time thinking about these issues on a daily basis. He also took the opportunity to continuously borrow money for investment on the premise of sufficient profits, trying to shorten the time it takes to accumulate capital. Combined with the current financial crisis, the prices of many high-quality assets were greatly underestimated.

Take Berkshire Hathaway for example. Its performance has actually shown a steady upward trend. However, due to the financial tsunami caused by the rise in oil prices, its stock price has fallen by 20% recently. Even though Han Chudong doesn't know much about finance, he can still see that the recent market is quite suitable for bottom fishing.

"With your wealth, not many things are difficult. I have never met a young businessman as mature as you." Arthur's assistant has become more and more skilled at flattering people recently.

He is usually quite calm, and it is precisely because of his calmness that he is more convincing when he flatters others. At least Han Chudong felt that he enjoyed it after hearing it.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

He smiled without saying anything, and with a fearless attitude, he rushed to attend today's boring meeting, and began to think about how to leave early.

To be fair.

Today's blue-collar and white-collar workers in the United States are still relatively hardworking. More than 80 percent of households in the country are middle class. The number of middle-class people has just begun to show signs of declining, but there has not been any major fluctuation.

Under this premise, it is reasonable for the US representatives at the meeting to attack many countries, saying that there are too many illegal immigrants.

Sitting in the crowd, Han Chudong dozed off out of boredom.

Combining my past memories, I silently thought that this era was probably the last good days for the middle and low-income Americans. It wouldn't be long before the factories would be relocated on a large scale, causing the increased wealth to be mainly concentrated in the hands of multinational businessmen, causing the unemployment rate to soar and the gap between the rich and the poor to widen rapidly.

As one of the beneficiaries of economic globalization, Han Chudong is of course very calm.

Everyone around was white, and he was the only Asian person.

It always feels like this is not a discussion, but more like a street quarrel, and the topics are still related to tariff barriers, tax havens, etc.

I was in a daze for a while, and then I waited until lunch. In the afternoon, I pretended to be sick and took a bus to the Silicon Valley area in the south...
