Chapter 1150: Greenwich (Guardian Liang Xiao 2/2)

   Chapter 1150 Greenwich (Guardian Liang Xiao 22)

   Driving 50 kilometers north along the coastline from Manhattan, the most prosperous part of New York, is a small town with a population of only 60,000.

  The town does not belong to New York State, it has already crossed the state and belongs to Connecticut.

   But within the one-hour economic circle of New York, the town and New York are closely related, more like the back garden of the super city of New York. Countless millionaires come here to buy houses, especially hedge fund millionaires and financial predators.

  Many hedge fund tycoons simply moved their companies here.

   Today, 400 to 500 hedge funds such as Bridgewater and AQR are gathered in this small town, with a total asset management scale of US$340 billion.

   Therefore, this town named Greenwich is also known as the "Hedge Fund Capital".

  Celebrities from afar, such as Mark Twain, lived here, and celebrities from near, such as the current commander, Xiaobu, were born and grew up here, and now they often come back to live here.

   Therefore, the town of Greenwich, where political and business celebrities gather, is also a famous wealthy area in the world.

   On a forest path in the small town, three cars lined up in a row, driving steadily forward.

  Xia Jingxing was sitting in the car in the middle, looking at the lush and vibrant scenery outside the window, his whole mind relaxed a lot.

   Sitting next to him, Ivanka, who was wearing a long white dress, shook his arm and asked aloud, "Besides the beautiful scenery, what other reasons are there to make so many hedge funds gather here?"

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "Money! A fund manager with an annual income of tens of millions of dollars in Greenwich can pay $500,000 less in personal income tax than in New York.

   Also, New York's property tax is as high as 3%, while Greenwich's property tax is only 1.2%.

   Oh, there is still life!

After the   911 incident, a large number of hedge funds are accelerating their relocation here. The high-rise buildings in New York are too unsafe. The target here is relatively small and it is not easy to be hit. "

   Ivanka's laughing flowers trembled, and waves kept swaying in front of her chest.

Looking out the window, looking at the beautiful town that was clean and tidy, with many villas, like a garden, Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "There are forests, rivers, grasslands, peninsulas, and beaches here. relax.

  I was thinking, if the company moved here, would the level of traders become a little higher? "

  Ivanka smiled and said, "So this is the reason why Bridgewater Asset Management has the largest scale?"

  Xia Jingxing laughed, "I can't rule out this possibility."

   "If Vision Capital moves here, what about 40 Wall Street?"

   "Let it out! What, doesn't your dad want to buy it back?"

   Ivanka smiled, "How could it be possible, he was satisfied with this transaction and couldn't be more satisfied, and he would brag a few words when he met everyone: No one knows real estate better than me."

   "In the business stories he tells others, I must be a fool who takes over from a high position, right? Is it the background board to set off his wise and martial arts?"

   was really guessed by Xia Jingxing, and Ivanka said a little embarrassedly: "Actually there is no, he said that you must go to the financial market with the mortgage loan of the building to make a lot of money."

  Xia Jingxing smiled, it seems that Ivanka's father is not really stupid.

   Ivanka carefully observed Xia Jingxing's expression and asked with a smile, "It seems that my father guessed right, you must have made several times the profit with those hundreds of millions of dollars."

  Xia Jingxing smiled, talking about money would hurt feelings, so it's better not to talk about it.

   Seeing that Xia Jingxing didn't answer, Ivanka didn't ask any more, and changed the subject to talk about Cuomo.

   "That guy Cuomo is actually a family friend! His father, Old Cuomo, was my grandfather's lawyer decades ago. In the years when Old Cuomo was governor, he had a good relationship with my father."

   A smile appeared on Xia Jingxing's face. After a long time, he ran into a real relative again?

   This flood washed the Dragon King Temple, didn't it?

  Who said that Friedrich was a nouveau riche? Still has some family roots.

  The Cuomo family is very powerful in New York State, and the marriage with the Kennedy family is enough to explain everything.

   Seeing the smile on Xia Jingxing's face, how could Ivanka not know what the other party was thinking.

   She shook her head gently and sighed: "After the death of old Cuomo, we basically cut off contact with their family. My father has a very bad relationship with him! When we meet, we will ridicule each other a few times."

   Xia Jingxing said with a "quack" in his heart, his plan to pick up some of the Friedrich family's wool was completely unsuccessful.

   If you report the name of Friedrich to Cuomo, I am afraid that you will be more hated.

  Ivanka said lightly: "There are rumors all over New York now that Vision Capital made a total of $5 billion by shorting Bear Stearns, Liangfang, and Lehman Brothers.

  The rumors have noses and eyes. Many people think this news is true, because Vision Capital earned no less than this amount last year.

  I feel that Cuomo is secretly building momentum. He wants to use public opinion to increase the attention of the outside world to Vision Capital, and then wait for you to reveal your flaws.

   As long as someone picks up any clues, he will come out from the grass like a poisonous snake! "

  Xia Jingxing glanced at Ivanka, smiled and said, "You are quite well informed, and your political sensitivity is not low."

  Ivanka said with a heavy face: "I'm worried about your safety! Now many people know that Cuomo wants to attack you and Vision Capital, but they don't know how cruel Cuomo is.

   In the words of my father, Cuomo is a viper! "

   "Let him go! Cuomo is also out of tricks. He spreads rumors without evidence, and the thief shouts that the thief will arrest the hedge fund that illegally sells and spreads rumors. It's ironic!

   This kind of person can become the Attorney General, the future of the United States is worrying! "

Ivanka's expression suddenly changed, she slumped down on Xia Jingxing, and whispered in a whisper, "The hedge fund under Envision Capital has so many powerful LPs, and now Cuomo is jumping up and down, and it will ruin everyone's jobs. Can't let people get Cuomo down? Can you be governor somewhere else?"

  Xia Jingxing glanced at Ivanka again, there are a lot of ghost ideas!

   Collecting money to buy an official and send the current one away. This is also the basic operation of many merchants in ancient China. It is also popular in the United States?

   "It's not easy, I don't want to get too involved in politics, and this year's elections are coming to an end."

   Ivanka nodded lightly, and added: "I mean if you really encounter an extreme situation, you can try it.

   Even if there is trouble later, it's better than being over right away, right? Over time, there may be other turning points. "

  Xia Jingxing pinched Ivanka's face: "Okay, I understand, I won't talk about that annoying fly for the time being today, it's easy to bad people's mood."

   A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of the main building of a manor house.

  Xia Jingxing and Ivanka got out of the car and looked at the surroundings.

This manor villa with white walls and gray roof is located on a peninsula. In front of the house is the boundless blue sea. The sea is sparkling under the sunlight. In the distance, there are dotted yachts and sailboats rippling on the blue waves. At the back of the house are lush woods and flat green lawns, and there are swimming pools, tennis courts and other facilities nearby.

Ivanka can be considered to have seen the world, but after seeing the beautiful scenery facing the sea, like a paradise, she couldn't help but admire: "The scenery around this house is too beautiful, and what is even more rare is that , so close to New York."

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "If you like it, let's buy a set today."

   "Remember to buy closer, so that we can be neighbors!"

   At this moment, Paulson suddenly walked out of the villa with a smile, followed by a middle-aged woman with blond hair and blue eyes. The woman was Paulson's wife, Jenny Paulson, who was also his former secretary.

   "John, long time no see!" Xia Jingxing stepped forward and hugged Paulson.

   Paulson patted Xia Jingxing on the shoulder, "Yeah, we haven't been together for a long time. I specially invited you here today because I want to spend some leisure time with you on the weekend."

   "Let's go, Mr. Soros is still waiting."

   The two had a simple conversation, Paulson walked into the villa with Xia Jingxing on his shoulders, and Ivanka went to visit the surrounding scenery hand in hand with Jenny, who had just met.

  Paulson took Xia Jingxing to the wine room, where Soros was sitting alone tasting wine.

   Seeing Xia Jingxing coming, Soros's cloudy eyes flashed.

   Then he got up with a smile on his face, pointed at Xia Jingxing and said, "Daren, we agreed to hunt the world together, but you secretly shot on Hong Kong Island.

  When I saw this news, I thought it was fake news.

   The result was unexpected!

  Alas, it's a pity, otherwise we will join forces to make a big deal and sweep the four major real estate families on Hong Kong Island together. "

Facing Soros' ridicule and regret, Xia Jingxing responded with ease: "Because of the sudden incident, I didn't have time to inform you and John. When I was about to inform you, I just caught up with Lehman's bankruptcy, this delay is nothing. Forget it."

   "Hahaha~"

   Soros couldn't stop laughing. After a while, he stared at Xia Jingxing and said, "It's not too late to inform me now!"

"now?"

   Xia Jingxing muttered in his heart, could it be that Soros still has ideas on the financial market on Hong Kong Island?

   I still owe two more shifts! Work hard! Yesterday, another chapter was sealed, and the description of Kristina's chest was changed before it was released. Is it okay to write it before? It feels like a villain is at work!
