Chapter 159： big toy for the super rich

"Thank you, William, for being so kind to me."

Hearing Chen William's words, Ivanta was greatly moved and said to him sweetly.

"This is what I should do, dear, but business is business, I will find a professional team to talk to your father, and try to reach a price that both parties can accept. But that's still the question, how much money do you need now? To get out of trouble?"

"Now the banks can't expect too much, so if you want to continue those projects, it may need at least $1 billion."

Ivanta's answer made Chen William know.

To be honest, although the current situation of the Troup Group is very bad, the words of a real estate developer in New York are not wrong - the name of Troup is the biggest asset of the Troup Group.

Therefore, William Chen believes that as long as the company survives this crisis, it can still continue to develop with Trump's management capabilities. After all, the company has been on the verge of bankruptcy three times before, and finally survived safely Pass.

As William Chen said, business belongs to business. Although he plans to invest in Troup Group, Ivanta is a major factor, but in addition, this investment is also a very suitable investment purely in terms of business. , although the returns from investing in Internet companies are not as high, the influence that such traditional companies can have will be more substantial.

With Chen William's promise, Ivanta's mood improved a lot. After the two of them had dinner, they went to the manor that Chen William just bought on Long Island. Ivanta also liked it very much. In time, the two instructed the maids to make this place livable.

Yes, there are some more maids in William Chen's manor.

It has to be said that professionalism is professionalism. People who have not experienced these things can't imagine how well a company that specializes in providing long-term housekeeping staff for the rich can provide.

They can use their laptops to connect to their company's internal database. According to customer requirements, including height, weight, skin color, hair color, and even the color of their pupils, they can search for the specific information of all their maids. With the medical certificate issued by the regular hospital...

Of course, the fees are not affordable for different rich people. The other party even guarantees that if you do something out of the ordinary, they will be able to help you. Uh, it can also be seen that their customers must have been there before. Bad things like this don't happen often.

In this manor of Chen William, a housekeeper in her thirties and nine maids were hired at this time. Chen William believed that there should be no racial discrimination, so three Latinos, three Eastern Europeans, and three Asians, all of them. It's the company's highest price, the kind with a physical examination certificate...

There are also two Western chefs and two Chinese chefs. As for the daily maintenance of the manor's vegetation and swimming pools, the housekeeping company will send people to do it regularly.

At the same time, William Chen signed a security contract with BEAUDIETL-ASSOCIATES, the largest security company in New York, and they were responsible for the security of the manor.

Of course, the distance between this manor on Long Island and Manhattan is also a problem. Although the distance from here to Manhattan will not exceed 60 kilometers, it will only take more than an hour if you drive fast, but you must know that this is New York and the traffic conditions It's not always good. When there is a little congestion, the journey will take two hours.

Therefore, in addition to this, William Chen also ordered two helicopters for travel. After all, there will be no traffic jams when helicopters fly in the sky.

He ordered two helicopters, the Sikorsky S-76D and the Sikorsky S-92 from Sikorsky. They can meet his travel needs in different situations. As one of the three largest helicopter manufacturers in the world, Sikorsky can guarantee the safety and stability of their products.

At present, the Sikorsky S-76D helicopter has arrived and is parked in the manor. This is a medium-sized helicopter with a comfortable and comfortable cabin that can accommodate 8 passengers.

Powered by a Canadian Pratt-Whitney PW210S twin-engine, the S-76D travels at 178 mph and can fly up to 540 miles.

Of course, as a private helicopter, a series of decorations and colors in the aircraft, including a complete entertainment system, color windows, high-grade leather interior panels, and other decorative details, all highlight the comfort and quiet luxury.

The other helicopter he ordered, the Sikorsky S-92, is a large helicopter with a huge size and strong transportation capacity, and it often serves on offshore oil platforms with high requirements.

It is precisely because of this that when buying this model as a private buyer, it is necessary to customize the entire helicopter, so it requires a certain waiting time.

Gu Che

The cabin area of ​​this aircraft is about 12 square meters and can accommodate 19 passengers. It is very spacious, and the interior is made of high-quality materials and carefully designed. Whether it's flight performance, comfort or reliability, the S-92 can be said to be one of the best options out there.

The S-92 has a speed of 174 miles per hour and a flight range of 629 miles. Especially when William Chen needs more followers, this large helicopter is more suitable as a way to travel.

Originally, William Chen was not familiar with these helicopters, but considering the distance between his current manor and Manhattan, he specifically consulted relevant companies.

As a result, after the other party introduced them in detail and watched their actual decoration and experienced the comfort, they directly ordered two.

It just so happens that one of them can take eight people, and the other can take nineteen people. You can choose according to your traveler.

More importantly, with the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, many rich people who had ordered helicopters were on the verge of bankruptcy, so they canceled their orders one after another, and would rather lose their deposit.

Therefore, the two planes ordered by William Chen are both orders of this kind, and the price to be paid is much lower than the original price.

Normally, the total price of the two planes is around $40 million. And William Chen got them for only $30 million.

As for the private business jets and yachts that William Chen is concerned about, the company that sold him helicopters was also very attentive and said that it would find similar orders for him, guaranteeing that he would get these super rich people at the best price. big toy.

……

Last night, William Chen and Ivanta Biesheng got married and unlocked some new knowledge.

Then in the morning, the two took the S-76D helicopter in the manor and went directly to the apron at the top of the Troup headquarters building, which took less than 20 minutes.

After arriving at Meta Investment Company, William Chen approached Camilo Hagen of Goldman Sachs, told him about his plans to invest in the Troup Group, and asked them to conduct preliminary negotiations.

The first and foremost issue is to reach an agreement with the Troup Group on the valuation of their company. William Chen is not convenient for this matter. It is very appropriate to hand it over to the more professional Goldman Sachs. They will consider the interests of William Chen. , after all, this is also related to the rewards they can get.

When it was close to noon that day a message came:

The Federal Reserve issued a statement that in order to ease the tension of the credit crisis, in addition to the missed interest rate cuts, as of mid-December, it has provided more than 160 billion US dollars of funds to American banks through TAF.

And after entering December, there have been constant bailouts. At the beginning of December, the United States passed a bill to eliminate the mortgage loan ceilings of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which means that the two companies can buy without a ceiling. mortgage loan.

On December 10, the Federal Reserve announced that it would expand its securities lending program, lending up to $200 billion in treasury bonds to its primary dealers.

But analysts say the current measures are still not enough to save the American economy. To stop the subprime mortgage crisis from getting worse, at least $1 trillion in new investment into the $15 trillion mortgage market is needed to stop the market from falling further. .

In the end, the chairman of the Federal Reserve delivered a speech today, saying that he would try his best to save the American economy, and when necessary, would carry out a series of quantitative easing policies to recover the secondary economy.

Quantitative easing, to put it bluntly, is printing money, directly or indirectly printing money...

Therefore, as soon as this speech by the chairman of the Federal Reserve was reported today, many people realized that the era of the US dollar's big water release may soon come.

Stimulated by this news, the international gold price began to rise, rising by more than 10% that day...

After all, if you print too much money, you always have to invest it, but in fact, it’s not that if you print too much money, it will really flow to places where funds are urgently needed. -gold.
