Rebirth

Chapter 163 New York with gold everywhere (additional chapter)

"Let's go, seeing you Kenny, I suddenly wanted to go to the Rockefeller Center for a stroll. I have been in New York for so many days, and I have been in the hotel all day long, just in the afternoon." In the car, Li Feng suddenly proposed Tao.

"John, I think that Rockefeller Center is fine. Let's go next time. We can go shopping on Wall Street or something." Mansour intervened.

"Huh..." Hearing Mansour's words, Li Feng suddenly turned his head and glanced, only to find that Kenny's face was calmer, but his smile was put away.

"Forget it, Mansour, it doesn't matter, just go to Rockefeller Center."

"John, don't you know that Rockefeller Center was acquired by the Mitsubishi Consortium before. Although it was bought back later, it belongs to Goldman Saatchi." Looking at Li Feng with doubts Mansur explained immediately.

"Oh, Sorry, Kenny, I always thought..."

"It's nothing, it's nothing. This is actually expected. Although the family trust has kept us prosperous, it has its advantages and disadvantages. It is inevitable that it will slowly decline without the emergence of super genius."

After hearing Kenny's words, Li Feng had nothing to say. After all, the Rockefeller Center was once a symbol of the family, but it was acquired by others. From the heart, the people of the Rockefeller family still hope that such a symbol can be in their own hands.

......

In fact, this is Li Feng's ignorance. If he pays a little attention in his previous life, he might also know the ins and outs of Rockefeller Center.Of course, if you pay attention to it in the early years of this life, you will understand. After all, the purchase of events such as Rockefeller Center is of national concern.

It's a pity that Li Feng was still in the orphanage at that time. People from the Internet age of later generations thought that since the Internet hadn't been turned on anyway, he should take his time. Therefore, Li Feng did not pay attention.

Just as the Middle East emirates used oil to accumulate a large amount of wealth and bought products all over the world, and after the rise of China's economy, they bought and bought all over the world after the rise of the Japanese economy.

During the 1980s and 1990s, most of Hollywood and other famous buildings in the United States such as Rockefeller Center became the targets of Japanese capital acquisitions.

You must know that Hollywood, Rockefeller Center, etc. are all symbols of the United States. At that time, the entire United States was angry, and it is conceivable that the Americans felt frustrated.

Of course, the history of the future generations will all know that the United States and its allies forced Japan to sign the Hiroshima Agreement, which taught Japan a lesson and formed Japan’s bubble economy, which eventually allowed the United States to harvest Japan and accumulate. Of wealth.

At that time, the “buy, buy, buy” situation reappeared in the United States, but this time it was not the Japanese buying industry but the United States that started a repurchase frenzy. For example, most of Hollywood and Rockefeller Center repurchased at half price.

It is at this stage that Goldman Sachs acquired Rockefeller Center from the Sanleng Consortium. Many people may be unfamiliar with Goldman Sachs, but if you say another name, many people will suddenly realize that it is famous. The investment group-Goldman Sachs Group.

......

Li Feng knew that although the Rockefeller consortium was still there, it was a pity that the Rockefeller family could not make a decision on many things. After all, various family trust funds had a complete set of mature management methods.

From the rich list published over the years, it can be seen that almost none of the Rockefeller family members can see them. Is it true that these people are indifferent to fame and fortune and hidden behind the scenes? In Li Feng's opinion, they may be there, but most people may It is helpless.

In fact, in order to keep the legacy, the rich people in Europe and the United States have really tried their best. In Li Feng's view, the Wal-Mart family is the most successful, and they are the real winners in life.

Before the death of Old Sam, he established a family joint company to inherit the inheritance through various means. The final result is Li Feng who came from later generations.

Every year on the ranking list, Old Sam’s sons and daughters are worth tens of billions, ranking at the forefront of the wealth list. If the whole family adds up, the wealth is almost more than 100 billion.

Many professional managers of family trust funds have even higher authority over trust funds like the Rockefeller family than family members. It can be said that the rise of professional managers has shared many rights and interests of family consortia.

......

The most famous one is Disney’s Michael Eisner. Although they are nominally a part-time worker, they are unfortunately sitting in the chairmanship of Disney, and the entire Disney is under his control.

Although the later generation of Michael Asner was eventually dismissed, it was also because of the company's losses. If the company performed well, even those major shareholders could only crawl under Michael Asner.

This is the charm of professional managers. Many professional managers have become company shareholders or even major shareholders and controlling shareholders from the original workers.

Of course, no matter what, the beneficiaries of the trust fund are still family members, ensuring that all family members can enjoy a prosperous life.

At the same time, the huge influence of the family still exists. After all, the family trust fund manages a large number of assets, even if the trust fund is not controlled.Of course, smart trust fund managers themselves are managed by family members.

This is also the reason why many people are puzzled in the later generations of the Internet information age, why members of old consortium families such as Morgan and Rockefeller are not ranked high or even not ranked on the rich list.

It can be said that if you look at personal wealth alone, at this time Li Feng has left Kenny and Mansour largely behind, but in terms of influence and connections, Li Feng is far behind the two.

Afterwards, Li Feng patted Kenny on the shoulder, jokingly saying that he would buy Rockefeller Center next time when he had money, and naturally ushered in a craze for the two of them to play around, which is to make the atmosphere better again.

Kenny and Mansour didn't know that Li Feng really planned to buy Rockefeller Center. Of course, he must have no money now.

Thinking that since it has been traded, the transaction here is normal, and what Goldman Sachs is, people specialize in acquiring high-quality assets and then selling them. As long as they pay a price that is enough to make their heart beat, they will be able to buy it. Thinking of this It's even more exciting. This is Rockefeller Center, one of the symbols of America, just like the Empire State Building, Times Square, and the Statue of Liberty.

......

In the end, I went to the Rockefeller Center and the three of them wandered together for a while. The Rockefeller Center really integrates commerce, entertainment, shopping, etc., allowing the three to enjoy themselves.

Finally, I want to visit the famous Boulder Top Observation Deck. Although it is still closed, it depends on who is there. Kenny is there. After contacting, the three of them brought a group of entourage to the view. Viewing platform.

Although it is not as high as the Empire State Building, it has a wide view and a 360-degree bird's eye view of Manhattan, but it is unique.

"John, it's almost done. Let's go to the party in the evening. At this time, we can just chat with some people." After strolling around, it has been more than 4 pm, and Kenny immediately proposed.

With Li Feng's consent, the group first went back to the hotel to freshen up, but Kenny and Mansour had opened a room in the hotel long ago, saying that it was better to stay at the hotel if they were not going to the house.

After finishing some things, Li Feng took Joseph and the security personnel, and followed Kenny to the evening meeting place.

......

On the road, Li Feng learned that the meeting point was in a newly opened clubhouse next to Times Square. He heard that it was Times Square. Li Feng suddenly had some expectations. After all, the reputation of the future generations of Times Square is really loud.

I went to Central Plaza and Wall Street on the first day. I haven't been to Times Square yet. Of course, I didn't forget to make money when I wandered around.

When he found that there were occasional vacant land around Central Park, Li Feng told Adams to take only the land near Central Park and even the apartment floor, if he could win it, he would try his best to take it. After all, the sky-high apartment near Central Park would be famous in the world.

After chatting on the road, I realized that Times Square at this time was far less compelling than later generations. According to Kenny, the city government began to clean up and plan the environment around Times Square in 1994, and it began to slowly improve.

Only then did Li Feng learn that the famous Times Square in later generations was filled with a large number of pornographic venues and had poor public security before 1994.

In the past two years, the surrounding pornographic venues have basically been closed, and the public security environment has slowly improved, replaced by more advanced commercial activities. Naturally Times Square has gradually become a gathering place for many people. No exception.

The original pornographic venues have all moved to industrial areas such as Brooklyn and Queens. Naturally, the security in those areas is even worse. After all, the presence of pornographic venues means that the public security environment is poor.

......

Naturally, Li Feng woke up. At this time, the land prices and properties around Times Square must not be high. The later Times Square is famous all over the world. If you come to New York, you won’t be counted as having been to New York without going to Times Square. .

At this time, Li Feng suddenly discovered that whether it was Rockefeller Center, commercial apartments near Central Park, land plots or properties near Times Square, New York now seemed to have a sense of gold everywhere.
