Han Chudong was wary of the Koch brothers, but the brothers also looked up to Han Chudong's achievements.
When ordinary people hear the name Mason Han, most of them will think of wealth, luxury, and intelligence, but these super-rich people have a deeper understanding of Han Chudong's power, and they know very well what it means to be a businessman who controls tens of billions of dollars in wealth, has connections, and controls several mainstream media, a large group of think tanks and lobbying companies.
So after they hit a snag in Saudi Arabia, they felt that Han Chudong had the ability to help them facilitate investment cooperation and use his connections in Washington to help.
He knew in his heart that it was possible to gain some benefits from it, but Han Chudong felt that this kind of money was hard to earn. With so many good businesses waiting for him, there was no need to wade into the muddy waters of the oil industry. So no deal was reached during the meeting that night. After the yacht sailed on the Hudson River for more than an hour, he got off the boat and went back to the hotel to rest.
He didn't care much about the economic and trade conference held in the Twin Towers, nor did he pay much attention to the proposed cooperation with Koch Industries. He came to Manhattan to meet some people and meet some friends, but what really concerned him was the meeting with David Rockefeller, the current head of the Rockefeller family. He spent money to buy back a large number of Chinese cultural relics from this Rockefeller businessman, including several good things in the Museum of Modern Art in New York, which he would bring over in the name of exchange.
In exchange, Han Chudong will strengthen cooperation with the other bank. For a bank as wealthy as theirs, similar transactions are commonplace, and they reached an agreement in just over ten minutes.
…
This winter.
Han spent the early winter in London, England, and took time to visit the palace and meet the princess.
Kyoko Mochizuki lives near Kensington Palace and meets the princess from time to time. Little William became friends with Han Chudong's eldest son, and he loves the room full of toys delivered from Mango Toy Company the most.
From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, he just lived a simple life. He no longer cared about the company's financial reports. He was satisfied as long as he looked at them and thought there was no problem. As for the terrifying numbers on the reports, Han Chudong had already become very calm. He traveled all over the world, seeing polar bears in Canada, visiting the pyramids in Egypt, or resting at a ski resort at the foot of the Alps.
Before they knew it, when the time came into the 1990s, Han Chudong's children had all gone to school.
The IC and IT industries were booming, and the speed of asset expansion far exceeded his expectations. Take Orange Computer for example. In 1991, its market value successfully exceeded the 80 billion US dollar mark, and it was still rising wildly. It was more like a combination of Microsoft and Apple. It was not split up when it went public. Sometimes Han Chudong would wake up and find that his net worth would increase by billions of dollars. He had no place to spend the money, and his wealth was so great that he had nowhere to hide it. He could only donate it to the family charitable foundation, which quickly reduced his net worth by a full 50 billion US dollars.
In 1991, 2 billion US dollars were spent on charity alone. In 1992, the number was even higher, about 3.4 billion US dollars. The government even gave the citizens of Los Angeles a subway line and a beach resort on Santa Monica Beach. It also donated a 130-kilometer-long highway to China, which was permanently free of charge. In addition, there were two universities, 100 middle schools, and more than 1,200 elementary schools. Taking into account the cheap labor costs, free land, and lower prices of building materials, the cost was not high. The charitable trust fund was required to donate 4% of its total assets each year in accordance with regulations in order to be exempt from any taxes. It cannot be said that the money was spent carelessly.
Do you need to worry about this expense? Of course not. Even if you donate tens of billions of dollars, Han Chudong's net worth is still as high as 100 billion dollars with the development of the Internet industry. He is involved in various industries, mainly concentrated in the fields of IC, IT, banking and securities, insurance, retail, automobiles, beauty, luxury goods, real estate, etc. The Mason Trust, which was established to make new friends, has developed for more than ten years and its scale has reached more than 10 billion US dollars.
One has to admit that the compound interest that Buffett talked about is really useful. His assets are still growing rapidly like a snowball. The investment in Walmart alone has brought him nearly 10 billion US dollars in wealth, and he has earned more than 20 billion US dollars through Intel.

Chinese New Year 1993.
Han Chudong followed his family to the archway. On the plaque were inscribed four large characters "Meng Ou's Style". There were more than sixty bodyguards accompanying them, carrying tens of millions of U.S. dollars in cash. Each red envelope contained two thousand U.S. dollars, which were distributed everywhere to the elderly over seventy years old and children under five years old. Han Yiqiang's old colleagues also received some.
At Christmas last year, Han Chudong also gave a generous bonus to all the employees of his company. After all, the performance was there, and it would be a bit unreasonable to give less. Among the executives working under him, more than 20 billionaires with a net worth of over 100 million US dollars have emerged, and there are hundreds of people with a net worth of tens of millions of US dollars. Some of them only have the right to dividends, but as long as they do not leave, they will get option rewards sooner or later if they work for a few more years.
After dividing the money, he brought his family to a Chinese restaurant for dinner. Zhao Dajun and Zhou Nan also brought their families to join in the fun. There were a large table of people and it was very lively.
After Zhou Nan toasted Han Chudong with a glass of wine, he asked, "Just now I heard you say that you are leaving for a trip tonight. Where are you going?"
"Huaxia, I'm going to live there for a while to experience the local customs and culture. I just happened to have some business matters to deal with after the New Year. If nothing goes wrong, I'll stay there for a month or so before coming back. I'll go to the Great Wall and the Forbidden City and have some fun. Would you like to come with me?"
"Forget it. Dajun and I have made an appointment to take my family to travel to the island you visited in Tahiti this year. Everything is good there except for the transportation. I am also planning to buy a small business jet." Zhou Nan said happily. The Internet has been booming recently. He and Zhao Dajun followed Han Chudong's advice and borrowed more than 100 million US dollars with DreamWorks shares. In recent years, this investment has increased more than twenty times, most of which has been put on Intel and Orange Computer Group. Buying a private jet is easy and not a burden.
As a person who had experienced it, Han Chudong naturally knew about the Internet bubble, so he controlled it well. Whenever the market was overheated, he would sell off a large number of shares to drive down the stock price. He also reminded other investors early on, resulting in the Internet bubble not being unimaginably large and being generally controlled within a reasonable range.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
From browsers to chat programs and video games, his business covers almost every aspect of Internet software. The underground assets hidden in Ireland, Switzerland, St. Barts and other places alone are worth more than 80 billion US dollars.
His family is healthy and his relationships are harmonious. He really doesn't have any pursuits or dreams. Han Chudong now just wants world peace and his family to be healthy.
I got drunk and went home only after watching the fireworks show.
As the helicopter flew over the city, it could see a building over 400 meters high. It was the new headquarters of Mason United Group. Together with the Chrysler Building in New York, which had already been put into use, it witnessed Han Chudong's status.
