This word is not a positive word in the minds of most people. They are regarded as evil interest groups of capitalism that control the lifeblood of the country.
Names such as the Rockefeller Foundation, the Morgan Foundation, and the Boston Foundation influence every aspect of Western life in a way that is invisible to the public.
In fact, in Han Chudong's eyes, they are merely the products of a highly mature financial market, and do not carry any inherent justice or malice.
When he was an outsider, Han Chudong felt how closely they were connected. However, after reaching his current height, he was branded as a member of the California Consortium. Later, he discovered that where a company is located and which businessmen it cooperates with more will naturally make it a member of a consortium in the eyes of others.
It is common for certain companies to form groups to compete for interests. For example, the president of Washington, who hasn't even had time to warm up his seat, has been replaced by the third president since Han Chudong started his business. It seems that there will be a change in the next election. Behind this is the game between certain power groups.
But looking from his position, the era of the consortium in the early and mid-twentieth century is actually gone forever.
As the total amount of wealth increased, it became a situation of division among warlords. He called this phenomenon the "post-conglomerate era" in which the conglomerate is declining. Therefore, although he is indeed trying hard to make friends and continuously increase his influence, Han Chudong has no idea of forming a conglomerate of his own. Anyway, his strength is there, and no one dares to offend him easily.
The reason why I mention this.
It was because the CEO of Bank of America personally called him and invited him to the party, saying that all the prestigious businessmen in California would attend, and he wanted to take the opportunity to discuss some things.
The party was held privately in a villa in San Francisco. Upon learning that it involved the dispute between the donkey and the elephant, Han Chudong immediately lost interest. He only said that he was willing to help but would not show up at the party.
The other party did not force it. It was enough to get the words "I will help". After all, they had a lot of say in NBC TV station, so naturally everyone wanted to win over Han Chudong.
He actually didn't have much interest in these open and secret struggles, but unfortunately the wind was strong on the top of the mountain and the situation was beyond his control. He had to get involved in some things, otherwise he might end up suffering for five or even ten years and face the risk of being targeted.
I just came back from the other side of the Pacific Ocean and I haven't adjusted to the jet lag yet.
After being lazy and tired for two or three days, Han Chudong returned to his previous pace of life. He went to the company every other day and stayed for only about four hours each time. After finishing his work, he would leave immediately and not waste his energy on irrelevant trivial matters. When something big happened, the secretary's office would notify him.
If you ask what life is like after having so much wealth.
All we can say is that he can easily obtain any material enjoyment that people dream of. His income in one hour may be more than what some people earn in their entire life. He can buy a lot of happiness, but it does not mean that he can do everything.
For Han Chudong, these were all very ordinary little things, like visiting the Louvre alone after closing, going to Washington to have tea with the owner of the Oval Office, or buying an island to live on, or buying a company because of a car he liked.
Han Chudong did buy a car company that makes supercars, Lamborghini. It was a small gift he gave to himself in the second half of last year. Recently, he is working with several research institutes, parts manufacturers, General Motors Group and Chrysler Group to jointly develop new supercars. He also wants to buy a racing team for his own fun and is negotiating with McLaren. It's just like buying part of the shares of the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees. It's both a hobby and a business.
They don’t like to keep cash, and are willing to issue bonds or take out loans. Once they have some money, they will invest it as soon as possible, which often brings them more returns in the investment process.
Home game consoles and portable players were extremely popular, and the tape player business, which cooperated with many film and television companies, also became a must-have appliance for every household. Han Chudong made a fortune just from selling and renting tapes.
no way.
He returned to such a good era and started off smoothly, so that after a few years, Han Chudong's net worth skyrocketed. Now no one can match him. So the phrase "Those who are close to me are rich" was written as the company slogan in the lobby of Mason Private Equity Fund's headquarters, with his name below.
It's true that they are arrogant, but no one has the confidence to refute it. It's even difficult to cite a negative example of not making money after working with Han Chudong.
——————————
He doesn't care about money at all.
Because of the continuous success of DreamWorks Movie Studios, Zhou Nan and Zhao Dajun have become very famous bosses in Hollywood, with a net worth of nearly 100 million US dollars.
Who would have thought that even when making movies, Han Chudong could run it like an assembly line, releasing popular movies one after another. The recently released "Resident Evil 2" has exceeded the 500 million US dollars mark at the global box office in just half a month.
On the fourth night after returning to Los Angeles, Zhou Nan invited Han Chudong and Zhao Dajun to dinner. The location was still a barbecue stall in Chinatown. They booked the place, locked the door, and roasted a whole sheep.
The roast lamb is not yet cooked, so I drink beer with peanuts.
Zhao Dajun, who had just become a father, was wearing a white shirt. He was so hot that his back was covered in sweat, and he looked much more stable.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Zhou Nan wore flip-flops and a short-sleeved shirt, a gold chain around her neck, and a gold and diamond Rolex on her wrist, as if she was afraid that someone would rob her.
It is said that the two are rich and their wealth on paper is indeed considerable. However, since the establishment of DreamWorks Movie Studios, they have always invested their profits and used the extra money to buy shares of Disney and Warner Bros., and have never distributed dividends.
If they didn't have a really good relationship, they would have complained about it long ago. Now they are still making money through the toy business and have each bought a house in Beverly Hills with a loan.
At this time, Han Chudong smiled and said, "You guys know what I like to eat. I was just about to say that we should have a barbecue, but you mentioned that we should meet here."
"I bought the sheep myself, and asked someone to watch the boss from beginning to end and not to change it. In the past, I was always worried that the boss would use old or sick meat as good meat. Today, I don't have to worry about that. It's just that the environment is a bit bad. The boss is probably worried that the renovation will affect the business, so he didn't even repaint the walls. It's okay for people to come and eat occasionally, but the hygiene is always a bit poor." Zhou Nan said.
The three of them met from time to time and their relationship did not become unfamiliar at all, but Zhao Dajun had a family and Zhou Nan continued to wander around, so there were some changes between them.
Zhao Dajun drank a glass of beer and asked, "You went there, right? I saw the news. How did you feel?"
Han Chudong nodded: "Very good, it seems that private business will soon be allowed, and outside funds should be able to flow in. By then, there will be such a large market, and there will be plenty of opportunities to make money. Anyway, I will definitely go back to invest..."
