Chapter 1240 It Depends on the Base Number
Wu Xue and her classmate Alice continued to go out in the morning, and Ran Feifei was going to investigate the dining environment in Athens. Zhou Ya and Bai Feng looked at the sky outside. They obviously didn't plan to go out during the day, so they shared their parenting experiences in the house.
Wei Fei wanted to see the stadium for the opening ceremony, and Yang Dongxu wanted to discuss the investment environment of Dubai real estate with Yu Yi, so he went to the luxury suite in the hotel building and didn't accompany him.
"Your brother and should be very powerful in China, right?" The hotel's special car sent them from the villa to the place they were going to visit today.
Alice was a little crazy about people. Although she was serious and indifferent on T, she was a little cheerful in reality. However, compared with her previous excitement in the face of the lively environment, she was undoubtedly more curious about Wu Xue's two relatives at this time.
Although she didn't know the identities of Yang Dongxu and Zhou Ya, the single-family villa in the hotel was more awesome than the presidential suite. You couldn't just spend money to live in it, especially at this time when the number of tourists for the Olympics was at its peak.
At the same time, although Yang Dongxu's speech and behavior have not undergone any strict etiquette training, the unintentional aura of a superior is enough to make people look sideways. Not to mention Zhou Ya, she has worked hard on etiquette.
Although she did not bring out the aura of the queen who was high above her in the past, the elegance exuded by the image of a good wife and mother was enough to make Alice feel a little ashamed.
And when she saw the watch on Yang Dongxu's hand, she raised her financial resources of Zhou Ya, two relatives with extraordinary temperaments, to a higher level again.
As a model, Alice has in-depth research on luxury, and she has studied watches among luxury goods in depth. At the same time, this watch that has been studied in depth is not a women's watch, but a men's watch.
It cannot be said that girls who are models are snobbish and want to be with rich people. But with so many men constantly approaching her face every day, there must be a little eye to distinguish between the rich and the fools, right?
Men's dressing is much simpler than women's. Putting aside the clothes on their bodies, women have all kinds of jewelry, and even the taste and grade of a woman can be distinguished from her bags, lipstick colors, and even perfume.
Men are undoubtedly much simpler, putting aside the metaphysical temperament. What can be distinguished with the naked eye are undoubtedly watches, belts and leather shoes.
Among the three, watches are undoubtedly the real core of judging whether a man is really rich and has taste. After all, no matter how luxurious the belt and shoes are, 100,000 US dollars is basically the limit. Limited editions and the like can be bought by people with a little wealth.
But watches are different. Real good watches can easily cost hundreds of millions, which is not something that some small assets can pretend to be.
So it is relatively accurate to use watches to measure a man's wealth. For example, a man who can afford a 500,000 watch must be worth at least tens of millions. Even if you buy such a watch to show off, you don't have the courage to touch a watch at this price without millions of dollars.
If a man wears a watch worth over a million, it goes without saying that he is definitely a rich man who can show off. After all, watches are not necessities. Since the popularity of mobile phones, people will not feel anything abrupt even if you don't wear a watch. Instead, it can be said that you are used to simplicity and raise your B-grade.
In the environment where you won't be shy if you don't wear it early, who can wear a million-level watch on your wrist if not a rich man?
The watch that Yang Dongxu was injured in is a floating tourbillon premium watch produced by the Glashütte watch factory, which has been very popular in recent years.
When it comes to watches, everyone may think of classic Rolex, Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin and other well-known luxury brands. People in China who pay a little attention to watches know the names of these luxury goods.
But Glashütte sounds a little strange, and some people don't even know what it does. But in the world's luxury watch market, this German company can definitely rank among the top 10 luxury watches.
Especially the floating tourbillon premium watch launched in 1999, which has ushered in a new era in the luxury watch industry. A tourbillon movement costs more than a million, not to mention the whole watch.
Alice only knew a lot of text and pictures about this watch that watch fans admire and are crazy about. She occasionally saw it once or twice at some very high-end banquets. I didn't expect to see this watch up close last night.
Alice's first reaction was that this was impossible, and then she wondered if it was fake. After all, under the propaganda of European and American newspapers, that ancient poor country in the East should be very poor.
Especially she and Wu Xue are friends, and those international students who stay in the United States in various ways have deepened her prejudice against China. How could a Chinese wear a watch worth 2 million US dollars on his wrist casually?
But after careful observation, she was shaken again, although she didn't take it to her hand to see it. Matching all the places she could see with the information she knew one by one, it was completely consistent without any flaws. This made it impossible for her to say that this watch was fake, and she didn't even dare to say it was a high-end imitation.
"My brother has been great since he was young, and my sister-in-law has also been great." Wu Xue had an admiring look on her face.
Then she was attracted by the small commodities in front of her and had no intention of talking in depth. Alice opened her mouth, but finally put aside her curiosity and continued shopping with Wu Xue.
Since this discovery was made, she and Wu Xue have been in contact with each other. The company seems to have arranged for him to go to China for a fashion show in the second half of the year, so she can slowly find out when the time comes.
Of course, this inquiry is not because she has any idea about Yang Dongxu, or to have a mistress to take over. Even if she may have that idea, it was completely extinguished after meeting Zhou Ya. A woman's intuition told Alice that she couldn't afford to offend that woman.
In the luxury suite of Hilton Hotel, Zhang Cheng reported to Yang Dongxu about the current investment policy formulated with Yu Yi.
"How much money do you need to borrow?" Yang Dongxu asked.
Since it is a real estate speculation similar to financial investment, it is simply a brain problem not to use bank leverage. Although Yang Dongxu has a serious peasant mentality and doesn't like to owe money, he feels uneasy when he owes money to others. It can be said that he is a freak among the rich.
But this does not mean that Yang Dongxu is so stupid that he doesn't even use any conventional means. Indeed, using leverage to invest is like a gambler at the gambling table. If you win, you will make a lot of money, but if you lose, you will lose everything and still be in debt.
According to his current level and status, he should not become a red-eyed gambler when sitting at the gambling table, but should be a calm dealer.
But he has been successful in the past, and Hurricane Construction has never made any mistakes. So whether it is Zhang Cheng or Yu Yi, or Zhao Yu, who has not arrived yet but has been communicating remotely and paying attention to this matter, they all feel that there is no problem with using bank leverage.
There is no doubt that Yang Dongxu's investment body that has never failed played a key role. In addition, everyone is playing like this now. Although Hurricane Construction has always been an alternative in the same industry, there have been several examples of playing occasionally, and there is nothing abrupt.
"Manager Yu, Manager Zhao, and Manager Huang from the Finance Department have carefully calculated that the risk of triple leverage is within the controllable range.
And Prince Kurza will not care. If it is higher, the risk may not increase much, but the withdrawal will be too loud, and I am afraid that it will bring unnecessary trouble to you and the company." Zhang Cheng said.
When you think of leverage, especially friends who play futures, they basically start with 10 times leverage. 50 is considered a normal operation, and 100 is exciting. In short, if you call 3 times leverage, people will laugh at you.
But this joke also depends on how much the principal is, right?
Hurricane Construction is going to invest 10 US dollars this time, and Chen Xin from the investment department of Sunrise Technology will also join in, bringing Yang Dongxu to find venture capital from China, and investing 500 million US dollars to join in.
In addition to the preferential policies given to him by Dubai, and the approximately 500 million funds that Kurza will take out. Not counting those preferential policies, it is already a solid 2 billion US dollars.
If so much money is leveraged by 3 times, it is a bottom of 6 billion US dollars to play with. Many Fortune 500 companies may not have such a large market value. See clearly that there is a lot of water in the market value, not the dry goods that have squeezed out the water.
So the investment of such a large asset is enough to shock many people, even if it is only 3 times leverage.
For an investment of 10,000 US dollars, even if you use 100 times leverage, even if there are no various fees and commissions, you will only make 1 million if you succeed.
But an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars is actually making money as long as it does not depreciate, if you can get a 20% return. That is an absolutely successful case. A group of big guys are begging you to manage their finances. The base is too large and each percentage point is many times 100.
"Have you calculated the expected profit?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"The specific projects and the policies obtained have not been discussed yet, so it is impossible to estimate for the time being. However, according to the current preferential policies offered by Dubai to attract foreign investment. The minimum expected profit will be around 1.5 times, if more favorable policies can be obtained.
And if Prince Kurza stands behind to give guarantees, then the return in the next three years will be around 50% in the first year. Around 160% on the second day, and more than 200% in the third year. After three years, it depends on the specific impact of Dubai policies." The answer was from Yu Yi.
"Then formulate a detailed investment plan based on the current Dubai policies, and then I will enter into negotiations with Prince Kurza as soon as possible based on this."
Yang Dongxu had no reason not to invest, not to mention the further relationship with Kurza after the cooperation. Even if it was only a minimum investment of 1.5 times, it would be a great harvest.
He knew about the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008. It was already the second half of 2004. If he stopped at the end of 2007, it would be about three and a half years. An investment of 1.5 billion, with a profit of about 4 billion in three and a half years.
If this profit value is taken out, even Warren Buffett, the stock god, would give a thumbs up, and even ask with a little expectation: "Old driver, can you guide me?"
Because this is a double return based on 1.5 billion, not a few million or tens of millions of small profits, this profit is enough to drive countless investors crazy.
