Chapter 85: Rushing Towards the Crisis (6)
After solving the money problem, all that's left is to buy, buy, buy. This does not refer to Vivian's big purchases, although her purchases were scary enough. Not only did she take away more than 700,000 US dollars worth of goods in one go, she also took away extra items. Received more than $1 million in New York Standard Gold Nuggets and the famous American Eagle Gold Coin.
This posture further solidified the outside world's speculation about her, but since she has a banker father, it seemed that she could not forcefully say that it was Contini's money.
In fact, Vivian is really rich, much richer than Ada. She owns more than 20 million United Group preferred shares. Even excluding the shares given by Contini, she made a lot of money by speculating in stocks with high leverage. One stroke. The dividends that can be received from these more than 20 million U.S. dollars of shares every year are more than 1.2 million U.S. dollars. When giving money to your woman, you have to pay attention to the rules. Directly giving money and alimony is a bit unscrupulous, but dividends are justifiable, plus VV As the chief youth anchor, An earned 1.4 million in endorsement fees and advertising fees from outside. In fact, 1.4 million of the more than 1.7 million was her private money. The remaining more than 300,000 yuan was given by Contini. Wouldn't this become a return of gold nuggets?
Of course Vivian is very smart. She doesn’t just spend money for herself. She takes her own family, the Contini family, and even the Adriana and Ida families into consideration. It’s not easy to come to New York. She has to take everything into account. Everyone needs to take care of it, otherwise it won't be such a good thing next time. Besides, Ada bought a lot of things for her last time she came to the United States. From the perspective of courtesy, this must be done well.
She chose a particularly beautiful diamond necklace for Ada. This necklace alone was worth more than 30,000 U.S. dollars. She planned to give it to her when she got engaged. Francisco told her more than once that she must have a good sense of proportion. It is far from easy to compete for favor without shaking or destroying Ada's status, and at the same time preventing Contini from bringing home a new woman.
Regarding such consumption, Contini just shrugged and made no comment. Aida had already bought a special cruise ship worth more than 10 million U.S. dollars. This million U.S. dollars is really nothing, not to mention that there are many jewelry, Gold, this is not just consumption, but also investment. They will see its power in the future.
As for the real procurement, it revolves around complete sets of industrial equipment. Comrade Stalin’s share is also included here. The Soviet Union exchanged crude oil and grain for a lot of industrial equipment, all through the intermediary agency United Group. The Soviet Union is ready to implement the first It was a five-year plan, and most of the industrial equipment involved in it had to be imported. They couldn't afford much foreign exchange, so they had to go through the United Group.
The first item purchased was steel equipment.
square kilometers, Italy's population is one-third that of the United States, its area is less than one-thirtieth that of the United States, and its population density is 10 times higher. Now that leaders have launched family planning and encourage more children, the density will only be higher in the future. Why don't you buy a house quickly?
Who does this system rely on to operate? It relies on the full planning of the elite designers, planners and actuaries of the United Group. It relies on the coordinating political power behind the group, the parliament, the people, and general knowledge. How can the molecule tell it clearly? Let’s get started first and then talk about it. Anyway, the president himself admits that “paying some tuition fees” is nothing. How can we engage in revolution and construction without making detours and paying tuition fees?
Compared with these two market-oriented companies, United Bank is not actually a market-oriented enterprise. More than two-thirds of its main business relies on United Group. It is not so much a huge commercial bank as it is United Group. Financing channels, in terms of risks, are closely linked to the United Group, and the market is too big to rise. The current stock price is 2.5 US dollars, and the market value has exceeded 800 million US dollars. Doubling it again means that the market value will reach 1.6 billion. This is a shocking number.
As for the two oil companies, although their business does not need to rely too much on the United Group, security and other political risks are all placed on the United Group. The minefields in Algeria and the attitude of the French holding their noses in approval are known to the Americans, and the arrival of Libya They are also familiar with the guerrillas that have not been completely wiped out so far. Moreover, the price of crude oil fluctuates greatly due to political influence, which will bring violent shocks to the stock, so it cannot be regarded as a fully market-oriented enterprise.
Of course, there is no problem for ordinary Mongolian investors: United Bank has the lowest bad debt rate and the best profit margin in Europe, the Algerian oil field is the second largest oil field in Europe, and the Libyan oil field is the fourth largest oil field. Considering that the Baku oil field is not securities ized, this scale and ranking are still going up, can you recommend it without vomiting blood? Of course it’s a buy! Buy! Buy again!
"What do you think of this idea?"
Francisco mused: "I think it's not a bad idea for these two companies to go public, but these two companies are not too big, so the shares cannot be so dispersed. Even after the public offering, we have to find a way to ensure that we have more than 50% holding position.”
Contini quickly calculated: United Motorcycles is currently valued at US$20 million, Wall Street promises to help him get US$30 million, United Real Estate is US$50 million, and Wall Street thinks there is no problem in getting US$80 million, which adds up to US$110 million. Of the total valuation, if you release half of it, you can get back 55 million U.S. dollars. Although it is not comparable to the hundreds of millions of United Bank and United Petroleum, it is still a huge sum of money. The cost of at least two Veneto-class ships has been stabilized.
"In addition to the considerable market value, securities can make it easier for us to form close ties with major consortiums. If we want to withdraw funds in the future, it will not be extremely embarrassing." Francisco reminded, "If we are really convinced that there will be tragic events in the future If it plummets, we can just buy it back... United Group is a responsible world-class consortium.”
"Okay, then I agree to do it this way."
On April 24, Contini signed the listing agreement of these two companies on behalf of United Group, intending to complete it before the middle of next year. In the second half of this year, mainstream American consortiums will be introduced as strategic investors. In fact, these two companies are not short of money. These strategic investors will suddenly invest in the company in order to cash out the listing in the future, but if they are not allowed to invest in the company, then there will be no speculation in the future listing. Contini is already very familiar with this principle. Only when everyone is huddled in the same trench can we make a fortune together.
As for the United Group, they just need to wait for the trenches to be covered by artillery fire and run away. The rest, the unprecedented crisis will help the entire world to complete the cleansing..."
