America's Road to Fame

Chapter 301 Global Travel
The second stop after leaving Australia is to go to another country with a strong presence in Oceania - New Zealand.

New Zealand is also one of the main aid countries of the original Palu Island. The creditors of Palu Island, in addition to Wall Street in the United States, are Australia and New Zealand.

Moreover, New Zealand is also one of the important trading partners of Palu Island. Palu Island lacks agriculture and almost all food needs to be imported, and New Zealand is their main source of food imports.

New Zealand is mainly composed of two large islands and several small islands. The capital Wellington is located at the southernmost tip of the North Island and the southernmost capital in the world.

After arriving, Chen William and Erica met New Zealand Prime Minister John who had just returned to the capital from Christchurch. Just like when they were in Australia, they first decided to sign a new repayment agreement with New Zealand on the remaining debt of Palu Island.

At the same time, they are willing to deepen cooperation with New Zealand on agriculture, animal husbandry and education. Relatively speaking, New Zealand's foreign policy is relatively peaceful, especially for many islands and countries in the South Pacific, they have always been more active in aid and cooperation.

Therefore, the Prime Minister of New Zealand also expressed his support for the construction and development of Atlanta Island in this meeting, and hoped to work with them to build a stable and prosperous South Pacific.

Finally, William Chen, on behalf of the Kettering Foundation, expressed a donation of US$500 million to Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand, where the earthquake just occurred, for post-disaster reconstruction.

Just on September 9, an earthquake with a magnitude of 4 on the Richter scale just occurred in the South Island of New Zealand. The epicenter was located 7.1 kilometers west of Christchurch. Fortunately, there were no casualties. Only two people were seriously injured and several people were slightly injured. The earthquake still caused great damage to the entire city.

The Prime Minister of New Zealand also just returned to Wellington from Christchurch to inspect the disaster situation.

After staying in New Zealand for three days, the group arrived at the next stop, Huaguo, by plane again.

The Gulfstream G550 stayed in Yanjing for a while, Erica and the entourage put it down, and then took William Chen, Ivanta and her medical team directly to Shanghai.

It is not convenient for William Chen to participate in this meeting, and Erica, the chief member of the Management Committee of Atlanta Island, will lead the meeting.

William Chen knew Huaguo's current strength in infrastructure and high-speed rail, so he told Erica that many engineering projects including ports and airports will be built in Atlanta in the future, so we can invite Huaguo's powerful companies to come. Bid to participate in Atlanta construction.

At the same time, she will also express welcome to Huaguo enterprises to invest in Atlanta and develop bilateral trade.

After returning to Shanghai, William Chen first met Zhang Zhao, the former CEO of Meta (Asia) Entertainment Media Company, and Li Ying, the former CEO of Meta (Asia) Investment Company.

Now these two companies belong to the Future Group headquartered in TC Oriental Building in Shanghai, and they have been renamed Future Entertainment Media Company and Future Investment Company respectively, so that Huaxia Future Capital, a subsidiary of Future Investment, can also echo the name of the company up.

Future Entertainment Media Company now actually controls Huace Film and Television. It has two subsidiaries, Kugou Music and Future Literature. It also invests in Huayi Company and Guangguang Media, as well as Zhalang Weibo and Youku. The industry can be regarded as a relatively large group company.

After the asset division, 40% of Alibaba’s shares belonged to Future Investment Company. Currently, this company also invests in Internet technology companies such as Jingdong, Xiaomi, Dianping and Meituan.com.

In addition, Future Investment Company also has a subsidiary HT Asset Management Company. With the opening of all five branches of HEYTEA in Shanghai and their booming business, it has become a must for young people in Shanghai to check in.

Now HT Asset Management has begun to continue to select stores in Shanghai to acquire stores, and at the same time, it is targeting Yanjing and Yangcheng, and plans to expand HEYTEA stores to these two cities.

HT Asset Management is responsible for the acquisition of stores. Heytea Catering, which operates as a light asset, mainly aims to continue to train employees and launch new products.In order to control the quality of products, HEYTEA Catering will refer to Starbucks and adopt a direct sales method to open branches instead of franchise authorization.

In addition, it should be explained that due to the change of William Chen's identity, it is no longer suitable for him to hold the shares of Future Group directly. Doji Holdings, the holdings carried out.

In the division of assets, William Chen's shareholding in Troupe-Chen (TC) Asset Management Company was also allocated to the Meta Group, which is now also held by Southern Cross Holdings.

However, the company's liabilities are retained, and there are still $10 billion in financing from Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, as well as up to $25 billion in convertible bonds held by the Meta Group.

Moreover, the new buildings built by TC Commercial Management Company in various places have been financed by Huaguo Bank, which is equivalent to more than 10 billion U.S. dollars.

It can be said that just looking at these debts is already frightening.However, William Chen is not worried about this. These debts will become real buildings. Through the rise of Huaguo Real Estate in the next eight or nine years, they can still get a very high premium, and in addition, they can also get a lot of extra money. Fee's rent.

And when Huaguo's real estate industry is about to sluggish, most of these new buildings will be sold, leaving only the core real estate in the first-tier cities, and they will be able to reap excess profits.

What he did was much more particular than what a certain "Superman" did in China.That person is completely exploiting policy loopholes, purely relying on hoarding land for more than 20 to [-] years. After the land price rises in the end, he sells it to make money.

For him, many places were forced to introduce policies, and construction must be started within a time limit, otherwise the land would be taken back.So that guy found a loophole again, I don't want to build, I build a little every year, anyway, I can't finish it, and finally the land price is satisfied, and even the land along the project is sold.

As for William Chen, these are actually under construction, and they are eager to complete them as soon as possible. They have indeed stimulated the economies of various places, so the two are completely different in nature.

It can only be said that some capitalists have a bunch of lawyers and experts around them, who are not just for nothing, but who specialize in researching policy loopholes.But in the end, even if their behavior does not violate the rules, it cannot be said to be moral. Compared with people who really promote social development, this kind of person is nothing more than a profiteer or a speculator.

Of course, if William Chen wanted to, he could make money faster through these methods. After all, he probably knew the direction of many future policies better than most rich people.

Yes, but not necessary.

After all, it is not difficult for William Chen to make money now. He has many opportunities to make more money, but if the meaning of his life is only to make money, then he can only be called a slave to money. Being swayed by money.

What he needs to do in his current position is to achieve his goals through money, so what he needs now is not how to make money, but how to spend money more effectively, only using money as a tool to achieve his goals, Then he is the one who really controls money and makes wealth generate value.

It's like he mortgaged his Meta Group shares, got 50 billion US dollars from the American bank syndicate, put it in the Atlanta Fund, and used it to buy Palu Island.

And he also needs to put his assets in the United States into the Caitlin Foundation.

From the perspective of money alone, it seems that he has given away a lot of wealth for nothing, but that is not the case, and it is precisely because he gave away the money that he can have a real chance to control his wealth.

It's just an opportunity.

In the eyes of the world today, the protection of private property in European and American countries is much higher than other countries, so funds are very safe in these countries.

But Chen William is different. He has the experience of his previous life. He has seen with his own eyes how these countries that have been advocating that "the wind can enter and the rain can enter, but the king cannot enter" and have always advertised that private property is inviolable will be ridiculous in the future. The reason is to confiscate the property of a rich man in a certain country.

So even if it was just an opportunity, he wanted to try it.
