Chapter 568 Soros and Carlyle Investment

"John, this is the basic information of Soros and Carlyle investment."

After the meal, considering that Soros and Carlyle's investors are coming in the afternoon, Wang Siqing handed the information he had prepared to Li Feng.

For Soros, Li Feng passed by with a quick glance. After all, Soros's reputation is too loud, and Li Feng always has a general understanding.

Since the 1980s and 1990s, he can be seen in financial crises all over the world. The title of king of hedge funds is not a boast.It stands to reason that now that the Asian financial crisis is in full swing, Soros should have no time, so he came to me inexplicably.

However, Carlyle’s investment in Li Feng’s past life has only heard about it. It seems to be known as “one of the largest private equity funds in the world”. Later generations seem to be as famous as the Blackstone Group. Further understanding is almost zero. Only heard Name only.

Just like later generations, even ordinary people can always hear Blackstone Group, Carlyle Investment Company, KKR, etc., and other names such as private equity, PE, etc., which sounded full of fantasy and felt quite mysterious.

As for what they did, laymen really don’t understand. After all, private equity funds, private equity funds, and other things that listen to the tall, are still too far away for ordinary people.

Naturally, Li Feng in this life naturally understands what private equity funds and private equity funds need to do. After all, his investment companies are actually doing these things now.

...

After a few glances, he flipped through Soros's information, and for the Carlyle Investment Group's information, Li Feng looked in detail.The first thing that catches the eye is the basic introduction of Carlyle Investment Company, and then the information of the management and shareholders.Finally, the establishment of a series of company operations, case operations, and so on.

After just one glance, Li Feng was immediately interested.It's not about how good Carlyle's investment company is or how big the company is, but the resume of the management can blind ordinary people's titanium alloy dogs.

Let’s talk about the basic information of Carlyle’s investment first. The founder team: In 1987, Stephen Norris and David Rubinstein and his three lawyer friends William Conway and Daniel Deaniro, Greg Rosenbauen founded Carlyle together.

Among them, Stephen Norris is the initiator, David is the internal affairs assistant of former President Carter, and the remaining three are top corporate managers and all have attorney licenses, each with their own expertise.

Among them is David Rubinstein, the former assistant to the president, who is responsible for Carlyle's overall private equity and investment matters.Similarly, perhaps because of David Rubinstein's relationship, or because the place where Carlyle was founded has other private equity funds in Washington.

Carlyle's investment in this company has maintained a strong political color at least for now, just look at many of its managers.

The CEO at this time was the former Secretary of Defense Frankka thinking. This one joined Carlyle in 1989, but the effect is huge.

Joined in 1989, and in 1990, Carlyle contributed to a major investment in the defense industry-won a large contract of 20 billion U.S. dollars from the U.S. Army Department. Since then, Carlyle has really taken off.

It was from here that the sweetness was tasted. Then a number of senior officials in Washington joined in, such as former White House staff, former secretary of state, and even former President Bush, and Bush Jr. is now managing a fund under Carlyle. , While being governor, he also serves as a fund manager.

...

Of course, Carlyle gained a reputation in the private equity fund industry after 1994. Before 1994, although Carlyle began to take off, its largest private equity fund did not exceed 100 million U.S. dollars until 1994. Carlyle pulled Soros, the "king of hedge funds" into Carlyle, and became a limited partner.

With Soros’s great reputation in the field of financial funds, it has become easier to raise funds. The financial consortia of American Emperor have become Carlyle’s customers, such as Citigroup, American International Group and other giants. By 1997, Carlyle Of private equity funds have reached a scale of 13 billion U.S. dollars, and it can be regarded as a party in private equity funds.

What Li Feng didn’t know was that Carlyle’s later generations were known as the “President’s Club”. Many of the presidents and chief executives from all over the world and countries were employed by Carlyle after retirement. Similarly, using this extraordinary political resource, Carlyle Conquering cities all over the world without any disadvantage.

Even later generations were exposed after 9/11. In Carlyle’s funds, there is also the investment of the horror king, who can simultaneously absorb Bush Jr. and Ben** under his own company. It is conceivable that Carlyle’s bull Forked.

Since its inception, Carlyle has always maintained a strong political color, and its main investments are companies founded by governments of various countries that have certain political advantages.For this reason, in the eyes of outsiders, Carlyle is the continuation of the political group, and at this point it has even been embarrassed by practitioners in many industries.

...

What really made Carlyle a giant in the PE industry and soaring into the sky, but it will start in 2003, when the chairman, CEO of IBM, and legendary manager-Louis Gerstner took over the position of CEO of Carlyle Investment. .

Also under the leadership of Gerstner, Carlyle began to transform, from a merger company of the U.S. Ministry of Defense to a traditional private equity company, and achieved a reputation as the king of future PE and a legend in the U.S. capital market.

Naturally, Li Feng is not clear about these. After all, Li Feng was an ordinary petty man in his previous life, and how did he know the internal problems of companies like Carlyle Investments.

However, even if it is not clear about the future situation, the future generations of Carlyle Investment have occasionally heard of this company name, or have seen this company name on the Internet, which seems to be as famous as the Blackstone Group.

Blackstone Group, even these ordinary people in the past life, in the eyes of ordinary people in China, are also famous, and therefore, the future development and future of Carlyle are naturally bright.In Li Feng's view, looking at his management team and the forces behind it, success is not surprising.

A lot of information was provided by Kukosqinwa. It can be seen from this that Li Feng pulled up Kukosqinwa and the two former CIA directors, and it is very necessary to set up a corporate strategic intelligence department. Otherwise, a lot of internal The details, ordinary people will never understand.

While looking at Carlyle's investment information, while thinking about things, time passed unconsciously.

...

"John, Soros and Carlyle's CEO Frank Casey Road, and co-founder David Rubinstein will arrive in 5 minutes."

The reminder after Wang Siqing came in brought Li Feng, who was buried on the desk, to his senses.I looked at my watch. It was almost 2:30 in the afternoon. Before I knew it, it took only 2 hours to just look at the management information of Carlyle Investments and the investment case information of these years.

"Oh, since they are here, let's go and check it out. By the way, call Henry, Prince and the others, and let them join me to meet Soros and Carlyle and his party." Li Fengshen After a lazy waist, stood up and moved his lower limbs, and finally commanded Wang Siqing.

"Okay, they have all come here this afternoon, and I have given them the news and information about Soros and Carlyle's visit. They should have read them all by now." Wang Siqing replied with a smile.

"Sister Qing, it's nice to have you. I have arranged everything for me. Come, I will give you a loving hug!" Listening to Wang Siqing's arrangement, Li Feng could not help but replied happily.

"Hold your head, you are ready, I'll call someone." Wang Siqing once again gave Li Feng a white eye with a sweet smile, said softly, and after speaking, he twisted his waist and left the office.

...

"Haha..., Sister Qing, wait for me, let's go together." Li Feng also laughed and caught up with the beautiful woman.
