Zhang Junfeng quickly set his investment target on the real estate industry in the United States. After all, there would be a series of good news coming out at that time. As long as he followed the steps and withdrew in time before the 2008 financial crisis (subprime mortgage crisis) broke out, he would also be able to reap rich rewards.

It's just that Comet Capital doesn't know much about the real estate industry in the United States. If they want to maximize their profits in this area, they need the cooperation of experienced people who are proficient in this field~!

After all, before this, neither Goldman Sachs nor JPMorgan Chase, among their partners, had experts in real estate management. If they simply invested in buying real estate, it would seem difficult to maximize the subsequent dividends of the real estate industry!

Zhang Junfeng searched quickly in his mind and soon locked on the candidate to cooperate with, who was the future King of Understanding, Trump, with whom he had had an interaction before!

He had previously provided financial assistance to Trump, who was having difficulty with cash flow. This guy had also listened to his advice and made a lot of money during the bonus period of the Internet industry.

If we propose to cooperate with him now and give him the opportunity to return to his old business and regroup to become a tycoon in the American real estate industry, I think this guy would be very interested, right?

…

Just as Zhang Junfeng expected, on the next morning, he received a call from Mato Walsh.

After complaining to Zhang Junfeng about the recent situation, he then stated his purpose. He planned to let Zhang Junfeng, the investment genius, formulate the next investment plan.

As long as he can ensure that Goldman Sachs can obtain substantial profits in the long term, he is confident that he can convince those shareholders to support him in taking the top position! He firmly believes that no one can resist money. As long as he can satisfy the interests of everyone and be higher than other competitors, he still has a chance to defeat them and take the throne of the group's president!

Zhang Junfeng was somewhat noncommittal about this. After all, he was just an ordinary person with memories of his past life and a better overall view. He was not a prophet, so how could he accurately predict whether Mato Wals could succeed? As for the new investment project, Zhang Junfeng did not refuse, but just asked Mato Wals to prepare. Tonight, he and Leon John would discuss it with him through a remote video conference.

Hearing what Zhang Junfeng said, Mato Wals readily agreed. Since Zhang Junfeng was willing to help, his next plan would go much more smoothly!

He finally waited until old man Henry Paulson retired early and gave up his position. If he didn't fight for the position of president, it would be a waste of all his efforts and hard work over the years! ...

In the evening, after Zhang Junfeng discussed with Li Fuzhen that he would have to work overtime for a meeting at the company, he asked his assistant Wu Xiuying to prepare a meal at a restaurant near the company. Then he returned to the company and read the current affairs news while waiting.

It took a while for Leon John to arrive at Comet Capital. Seeing his friend who hadn't seen him for a while and looked quite different, Zhang Junfeng couldn't help but complain, "By the way, you haven't been doing any exercise recently, have you?"

Compared to the Leon John I saw last year, he has indeed changed a lot. His beer belly, which was very obvious before, has disappeared, and his facial features are obviously smaller.

Hearing Zhang Junfeng's question, Leon John said proudly, "That's natural~! I spent a lot of money to hire a gym coach to give me a one-on-one training, otherwise how could there be such a significant effect?"

Zhang Junfeng nodded thoughtfully, then asked unexpectedly, "So, the gym coach you mentioned should be a beauty, right? Otherwise, with your personality, how could you be in the mood to exercise?"

"...Ahem...How did you know?!" Leon John's face changed, and he glanced at Zhang Junfeng with a guilty conscience. He even suspected that Zhang Junfeng had arranged someone to follow him. Otherwise, how could the other party guess such a "secret" thing? ! "Hehe, I have known you for so many years, how can I not know what you like?" Zhang Junfeng raised the corner of his mouth. This guy is fine in other aspects, but he is quite interested in women and doesn't have much taboos. This guy is not afraid of playing so much. Does he have any "unspeakable secrets"?

…

Another half an hour passed, and the group chatted in the conference room for a while. Seeing that the agreed time had arrived, Matto Walsh appeared on the other side of the camera.

"It seems that our vice president is a bit busy at work. He almost was late for the video conference~!" Zhang Junfeng teased him with a smile. He thought that since Matto Walls was so concerned about the investment, he should have been there early. But now it seems that is not the case!

In response to Zhang Junfeng's ridicule, Mato Wals in the camera did not intend to get angry, but replied with a wry smile, "This is not because of me! The new acting president issued a temporary notice to hold a meeting early in the morning. I just sent my assistant to attend. Otherwise, today's video conference will be postponed~!"

Zhang Junfeng and Leon John were quite surprised to hear the other party say this. Before this, he had also heard from Mato Walls that the newly appointed acting president Angelo Lillard should be a "veteran" who has been slacking off for many years and has not made any achievements in these years. It is purely because he has been in Goldman Sachs for a long time and has enough seniority that he was picked up by him.

Now it seems that this old guy is not a pushover, otherwise why would he make a temporary announcement and call a meeting so early in the morning? Isn't he afraid of offending people by doing such a thing?

Zhang Junfeng did not continue to discuss this topic with the other party and quickly got to the point.

Zhang Junfeng described his next plan to invest in the real estate industry in the United States, which made Mato Walls, the senior vice president, look thoughtful.

He certainly knows the current economic situation in the United States! After all, since the Internet crisis broke out last year, the Nasdaq index has been in a slump. The US government wants to boost the domestic economy and attract more funds for development, so it must find a new track to "sit in the market"! However, the real estate industry has been tepid for many years before this. Can it really receive huge favorable policy support and usher in a huge change as Zhang Junfeng said?

Sometimes it is a sign of foresight to make arrangements half or one step ahead, but if you move too quickly and make preparations several steps in advance, the situation that follows may result in a large amount of funds being trapped.

His plan to earn profits, increase his own prestige and get the major shareholders to support him might be in vain.

…

After Zhang Junfeng finished talking about the plan, Mato Walsh asked cautiously, "Zhang Junfeng, according to the investment plan you mentioned, how long will it take to see results? Will it take three months or even half a year to see returns?"

Hearing the other party's question, Zhang Junfeng quickly reacted, and then chuckled and said, "I want to make a profit, but the time you give me is so short, this is not easy~!"

"Of course there are benefits, but all of this is closely related to the news from official American channels. I am not sure whether there will be policy lags."

"If you are in a hurry, maybe you can consider another place..." After some thought, Zhang Junfeng decided to give the other party a second option.

After all, if Mato Walls can get promoted, perhaps their cooperative team will be able to fully grasp this special "opportunity" in the second half of this year and earn huge profits~!

"There is another place?! Tell me where it is~!" Mato Walsh's eyes lit up and he immediately became interested. Having known Zhang Junfeng for such a long time, he knew that the other party would never do something without a purpose.

Leon John and Wu Xiuying beside Zhang Junfeng were also quite curious at this moment.

They had chatted with Zhang Junfeng before, and they only knew that Zhang Junfeng was planning to enter the real estate market in America, but they didn't hear him mention anything else~!

"Hong Kong in Longguo! If I remember correctly the news I received before, the Hong Kong government will take some action in the near future. And according to the previous trend of rising housing prices in Hong Kong, once it completely gets rid of the follow-up impact of the financial crisis, housing prices will inevitably continue to rise!"

"The main reason for this is that the situation in Hong Kong is very different from that in America. There are more and more people, but less and less land available for development and living. It is a general trend that the value of houses there will rise sharply after the economic recovery~!"

Hearing Zhang Junfeng's words, Wu Xiuying suddenly realized, "So, Boss, you cooperated with Longguo to open a real estate company last year and entered Hong Kong to buy up real estate on a large scale because of this?"

Seeing Wu Xiuying mentioned this, Zhang Junfeng did not deny it, but nodded with a smile, "Yes! It was for this reason. I originally planned to enter the market first. Now it seems that someone also needs the real estate project in Hong Kong to make a profit and increase his own achievements~!"

Hearing Zhang Junfeng's straightforward words, Mato Wals suddenly laughed. Since Zhang Junfeng had already started to operate in Hong Kong, what was there for him to hesitate about? Anyway, he could just follow him into the Hong Kong real estate industry and reap a lot of dividends. As for other investment projects, it was not that he had no idea, but that other investment consultants in the group could not think of any better way, so he could only put his hope of winning on his partner Zhang Junfeng.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

…

Seeing that Mato Walsh and Leon John had agreed to his proposal to enter the Hong Kong real estate market, Zhang Junfeng smiled and nodded, and then proposed a supplementary idea, "In this case, if we want to shake up the Hong Kong real estate industry in a short period of time and promote the rise of the real estate industry, then we need to bring in strong partners to work together."

"In this way, the achievements of Mato Walls can be fully established. Otherwise, after the investment, the benefits will be slow to take effect and the effect may not meet expectations."

The "partner" Zhang Junfeng mentioned was naturally JPMorgan Chase, with whom he had cooperated many times! Based on the win-win cooperation between the two parties, Zhang Junfeng was very sure that Nacho Morgan would definitely be willing to participate.

After all, since the collapse of the Internet industry, it is still very difficult to find stable investment projects with high returns and low risks in the short term.

…

After hearing Zhang Junfeng's proposal, several people nodded in agreement. If they wanted to leverage a regional real estate market worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions, the risk they would take would be extremely high if only one or two companies poured money into it.

If we can invite "allies" of similar strength to join us, and if several forces work together, it will be much easier to achieve our goals, and the risks will be reduced a lot.

Moreover, once the "herd effect" is formed, it will stimulate the real estate companies in Hong Kong and induce them to re-invest in the real estate industry. Then, even without the intervention of the Hong Kong government, the real estate industry in Hong Kong will begin to pick up in a short period of time, and prices will show a clear upward trend.

…

After the video conference ended, Zhang Junfeng said hello to Leon John, then drove away from the Comet Capital Building with Wu Xiuying and his bodyguards, preparing to return to his residence to have a good rest.

On the way back to the residence, Wu Xiuying, who was sitting next to him, thought of the work reports submitted by several Internet companies in Longguo that Comet Capital had invested in the past two days, and couldn't help but ask, "...Boss, is the current Internet industry really not doing well? I see that Kingsoft Software, Penguin, and NetEase in Longguo are doing pretty well at the moment."

"Especially the Penguin company, whose current revenue has reached over 70 million RMB per year~!"

Such performance, even in Korea, is almost the same as the revenue of some listed medium-sized enterprises! If this is not good enough, then these enterprises are even more useless?

Zhang Junfeng smiled and explained, "The Internet industry in Longguo is quite different from the global Internet industry. Although Internet technology companies in Europe and the United States have suffered heavy losses in the past two years, and many companies have even gone bankrupt. But don't you realize that there are huge differences between Penguin and Kingsoft and those Internet high-tech companies?"

"...huge difference?!" After hearing what Zhang Junfeng said, Wu Xiuying was a little confused. In her opinion, these Internet companies seemed to be very similar, with not much difference~!

Seeing that the other party hadn't reacted yet, Zhang Junfeng continued to explain, "Take Penguin Company as an example. Although they run the instant messaging software Little Penguin, their company's biggest profit project is the chain of Internet cafes and the multiple computer games developed by the agent Nexon!"

"In addition to Penguin, Kingsoft and NetEase, which has recovered and started to transform, are in a similar situation. Although they have some businesses of Internet companies, their profitable content has little to do with those Internet high-tech companies!"

"As long as they don't rush to go public in a short period of time and face the recession head-on, these few years will be their best period of growth. When the Internet industry flourishes again in a few years or even ten years, that will be their chance to move towards glory!"

After hearing what Zhang Junfeng said, Wu Xiuying suddenly realized. The current downward trend of the Internet market is an inevitable trend. The outstanding performance of a single stock/enterprise cannot hide the disadvantages of the overall environment. However, no one can say for sure whether the Internet industry will make a comeback in a few years? (End of this chapter)
