Chapter 563: The East Coast

There are fifty-two states in the United States, each of which has a governor and a corresponding senator. Taking into account that over the past century, not all congressmen and governors have been able to securely end their terms of office, so today, every year in the United States, there will be events of change of governors and congressmen. From the local to the central level, from the state legislature to Capitol Hill-level institutions, from tabloids to the Washington Post media, all politicians live very lively dates every day.

As for some economically developed continents, even if they are geographically separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, they are still closely connected to each other.

California is most likely to take over as governor, Peter Wilson, who has repeatedly failed the judicial examinations, and the news spread to New York State quickly. As for the root cause of this news, it was because many people saw him and Alice-Wang having an intimate conversation for up to 20 minutes at a Republican party.

Of course, people on the East Coast have always liked to be high-profile about what happened on the West Coast, especially the New York natives, who wished to show their superiority from every angle. People have to admit that Peter Wilson has found a major customer for his governorship. If all the members of the Alice Building are mobilized, his approval rate can definitely overwhelm his opponent by five percentage points.

But if it’s the New York governor’s campaign, including the Senate campaign to DC, it still has to rely on traditional Wall Street forces instead of her super new money with a Chinese background. Take a look at the number of skyscrapers in Manhattan, the number of large-scale companies and financial institutions in the world. Although Alice-Wang is a fan in California, she has to pretend to be a grandson on Wall Street!

This kind of thinking will be fine at least until May.

Until that big news in the real estate industry finally passed its incubation period.

The company established by Alice-Wang and registered in London, England, Vanda Company, with an amazing handicraft, acquired a large open space between the southern part of Midtown Manhattan and the northern part of Lower City. This involves the company's inherent assets, bank loans, institutional venture capital, and celebrity luxury companies' cooperation to buy shares. The total amount of funds is huge, and the land acquisition is wide, which is rare in the entire history of Manhattan's real estate.

So the question is, Vanda suddenly bought such a large piece of land that borders it, what exactly is it going to do?

Unlike the current real estate bubble in Japan, which can be seen by discerning people but hidden from all Japanese, the US housing market has only fluctuated by 10% over the past 100 years, and it fell by 2% during the Great Depression in the 1930s. More than ten. Unlike the situation in Eastern countries, real estate in the United States is really nothing more than a financial commodity. No one will go bankrupt and spend a lot of money, and naturally there will be no bubble effect that fluctuates.

Therefore, Alice-Wang’s amazing investment was naturally for the financial sector, but as many people expected next.

Demolition.

Then, the "New York Times" officially published an article that the construction of Manhattan's Vanda Plaza began, and 21 skyscrapers were planned to be built to welcome the 21st century.

In the morning peak, before going to work, during lunch break, and after get off work, how many office workers and business executives have the habit of reading The New York Times, so with the effect of spreading hundreds of thousands of times, this matter will be widely known in less than a day. Up.

Whether it is ordinary office workers, corporate executives, or even more senior wealthy people, everyone is surprised at the first reaction after seeing this news. What is the concept of building 21 skyscrapers in Manhattan! ?

Of course, of course, for a truly large-scale group, billions of dollars in real estate investment is not that amazing. Just like that famous real estate tycoon in recent years, Donald Trump, not only was he running his own real estate empire, he also bought a single building as his headquarters in Manhattan, and it was the tallest building ever. !

But being able to do it does not mean that someone will do it, nor does it mean that when this kind of news comes out, other people shouldn't be surprised. Especially this news is not a veteran consortium, but a super upstart on the West Coast, Alice Wang!

Just think of Donald Trump, a celebrity who has been in the New York circle all day long. After graduating from university, he worked in a real estate company founded by his father. Although he assisted his father in managing his business during the four years of college every summer, he did not want to stay in Queens, New York City, where his life circle is narrow. Instead, he moved to lively and bustling Manhattan alone, and met many wealthy and powerful people in high-level social circles. Political and economic celebrities. Facts have proved that this is indeed of great help to his future development of real estate business.

In this way, he has been in charge of his father's real estate company since 1971, and he is quite famous throughout New York at the age of 34. As of today, 1990, his personal wealth has also successfully reached a huge amount of 1.7 billion US dollars. Even though there are elements of inheriting the father’s business, the residents of the Upper East Side of Manhattan also see its real role.

Ok.

Personal assets of 1.7 billion U.S. dollars, do not entangled how much the company shares.

Compared to Alice-Wang, I don’t know how much it is worse than Alice-Wang. Not to mention the comprehensive evaluation, the two big men of Microsoft and Cisco randomly picked one out, and their shareholding can cover how many streets Trump does not know.

They are all top upstarts who started their businesses in Manhattan, and they are all real estate. The residents of the Upper East Side can't help feeling sorrow after only a little comparison. Somehow Trump inherited his father's business and developed the local property full-time for nearly two decades, and then he had a real estate empire of this size and value. But look at Alice-Wang. Six years ago, May had just officially started her business, and she had just started to set foot in the real estate industry last year. At one time, it seemed like a ticket, but now?

In fact, if this Manhattan Vanda Plaza is really built, its individual value will be almost equivalent to the entire Trump Organization...

The initial surprise and admiration, and then soon reached the stage of understanding and analysis. According to this big news, the media themselves and many people in the industry have also used their own channels to conduct reverse investigations. After all, not everyone will always pay attention to the news of Manhattan's real estate industry. They will only realize the latest changes in related fields when the news is officially published.

Realizing part of the stock is the first step for Alice-Wang to raise funds, but it is by no means a big sell-off. Compared to her overall share in Microsoft and Cisco, that little proportion is really insignificant. But thanks to the vigorous and endless development of these two companies in recent years, hundreds of millions of dollars in cash have been easily obtained.

Then there is the loan. Based on the development potential that has skyrocketed over the years, as early as when she was building the Alice Building, Wall Street banks were very happy to make advance payments, and the facts proved that this upstart girl really lived up to expectations. Therefore, when she decided to build a major project in Manhattan, Citi, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and even Standard Chartered and UBS could not help but want her to provide some loan interest.

The principal, plus the loans in hand, will attract more investment from institutions and celebrities, naturally, it is not surprising. Not everyone can check the intelligence so carefully, but anyone who can find it can easily dig from the information behind the names of certain organizations and people, who are standing there.

Lockheed invested, regardless of its average market value, but the profit margin of arms sales is the highest in most industries. Some people in the industry have speculated that if the yf-22 bid hits, Lockheed will definitely be able to make at least 50 million in net profit from each frame-this is all cash. Since Alice-Wang can tell such a wealthy lord and throw a random amount of three or two billion, is it not enough to satisfy her and return home?

When a businessman reaches a certain level, every major action must be foresight. Many people quickly come to the conclusion that Alice-Wang is going to march on the east coast on a large scale.

The company registered in the UK is not only vanda, but also an umbrella. The pharmaceutical company that is selling magical weight loss drugs has not even been established for a year, but many people are looking forward to its launch. For both of them, it is simply natural to set up a branch in Manhattan directly across the Atlantic Ocean, and this is truly a century-old industry!

So soon, an invitation letter traversed the Central Great Plain ~lightnovelpub.net~ from the east coast to the west by mail.

"Every day there are these things..."

When Monica held the latest batch of letters in front of her, Alice didn't look up and said, "Just deal with it as usual."

"In fact, there are many high-end forums, you still need to participate, are you sure to destroy them all?"

"I don't have time to be the social flower that I want to spend all day long, Monica, give me the college-funded program."

Monica nodded, then stepped back, and then soon came forward.

Alice sat in the office chair and stretched her body lazily.

Then he turned his chair and faced the floor-to-ceiling glass window behind.

In fact, after watching it for a long time, it is better to overlook Manhattan from the sky.

Los Angeles... Is it a Princess of Peace?

With nothing to do, Alice began to calculate the similarities and differences between herself and traditional Silicon Valley people. In fact, it's very simple. Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon, everyone is basically a technician background, it is inevitable that they are all infected with the second ideals that change the world. The classic saying, "I didn't think about making much money, I just want to make a contribution to mankind, and I just made it out of nowhere" that is the most terrible phrase is theirs.

But Alice asked herself, she was a real big capitalist.

What you want is to have a glimpse of the mountains.

Therefore, the aerial view of Los Angeles is really not very beautiful.

"But all day long drinking and chatting with the famous gentry of the Upper East Side... Haven't I been sick in the past two months?"

It's a rare social gathering in five or six years, but she has been bored enough.

"Oh, it's normal. After all, I'm a technical genius. I stand with a group of middle-aged uncles and gossip girls, so I can't talk together."

After complaining a few words, then it can be over, Monica is walking forward with the plan she wants.
