Attend Blackstone's business reception with investors from Blackstone Group.

Lewis asked Lewis to send out invitations when he first came to the United States.

He needs to maintain his network of contacts to ensure that he can establish friendly relationships with the companies involved in each acquisition and maintain friendly relationships with investors.

Since the establishment of Blackstone Group and ACC, Lewis has managed the internal affairs of these two companies, while externally it has relied on Xu Luo's strong network resources in the financial industry.

The same is true for Hong Kong's Tianxia Investment, because he is not a god and cannot devote so much energy to taking care of every detail.

So he can give them some virtual shares.

Only the right to dividends, no inheritance, transfer, or voting rights.

It does not affect the company's equity structure, but only distributes some profits to them as dividends every year. People who own the shares stay, and people who leave the shares lose the shares.

It is necessary to organize this kind of reception in the United States. It doesn’t matter what you eat or drink. What is important is to show investors a gesture of respect for them.

In addition to the cocktail party, they were also arranged to travel to Argentina in South America.

Otherwise, the CEO of a company who makes millions of dollars per minute would come all the way to attend a cocktail party and then leave, which would be a little bit confusing.

The reception will be held at the Plaza Hotel in midtown Manhattan.

One of New York's most iconic buildings.

Located at the southeast end of Central Park in midtown Manhattan, close to Grand Army Plaza, the location is unparalleled.

When the hotel opened in 1907, it claimed to be the largest hotel in the world. After its completion, it has hosted celebrities such as New York's super-rich Vanderbilt and descendants of the Kennedy family.

In the near future, the finance ministers and central bank governors of five developed countries, the United States, Japan, Britain, France and West Germany, will secretly sign the Plaza Accord here.

Night falls.

The bustling night view of Manhattan is self-evident, and the shining neon lights of various colors make the whole city starry, colorful and full of energy.

As the host of the reception, Xu Luo greeted the guests at the door.

The first to arrive was Milken, the king of junk bonds.

As soon as they met, he immediately stepped forward and hugged: "Mac, my good brother, we meet again!"

"Milken, it seems that you are in good spirits recently." Xu Luo hugged him warmly, "I'm glad to see you again."

Milken said excitedly: "Me too, by the way, have you planned to make any big moves recently? I feel that it is a very pleasant thing to work with you."

"Let's take a look first. I just arrived in the United States and I don't have any plans yet." Xu Luo smiled and said, "If I have any plans, I will let you know."

"OK, I'm waiting for your phone call." Mill Ken nodded and stepped into the hotel.

Next is Jack Welch, chairman and CEO of GM's board of directors.

"MAC, I am glad to see you." Welch enthusiastically shook hands with him. "It seems that you seem to be more mature. If you were just a young man before, you are already very man."

"Mr. Welch, I did not expect that my maturity was hidden so deeply that you were discovered by you. I am glad that you can come to this wine party." Xu Luo responded with a smile.

Although the development of the Blackstone Group and the ACC is very rapid, compared with old companies such as General Electric in terms of heritage.

In the famous Apollo Moonlore plan, there are more than 6,000 people in GM's participation.

In 1981, General Electric's annual turnover was as high as US $ 25 billion, and last year reached $ 25.7 billion.

Wellci laughed: "Bad, if I don't come, I am worried that I will receive a call you want to buy. By the way, we have planned to sell some industries recently. Are you interested in taking over to operate?"

There are a lot of industries under GM's waiting for selling. Most of them are not bad industries, but Welch is reorganizing companies.

Last year, a lot of industries were sold for $ 8.5 billion.

In addition to selling these industries, Welch is also acquiring many industries.

Xu Luo thought about it, "Let me see first, if I can, maybe it will take over."

"Okay, I'll wait for your phone call." Welch nodded, "I go in."

Subsequently, other investors arrived one after another.

Confirm that no one came again, Xu Luo also entered it.

Because this is a formal wine party, Lewis spoke as a host.

After making a simple summary of the investment last year, we disclosed some development plans to investors this year, giving you some confidence so that they believe in making money.

Investors are not always fixed, so give the latecomers a role model, so that everyone can believe that investing money can make money.

After a simple speech, everyone applauded, the reception officially started.

This is not a lecture, there is no need to talk about more than half an hour.

Those who come to the party will communicate with old customers, know new business partners, and so on.

After the reception, these people lived here, and took the plane of the Blackstone Group bag to Argentina the next day.

In addition to these business tycies, there are their bodyguards and assistants.

Argentina in the southern hemisphere, with an average temperature of 4 ℃ ~ 13 ℃, so Argentina in July is a good place for summer.

In July and August, in the United States in a sea of ​​fire, if it was to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York could bake people.

Such arrangements have won the favorite of these company bosses.

Because some places in Argentina are more chaotic now, there is no need to walk around, just play in a few places for a while.

For example, Cartelal Mountain, Higuasu Great Waterfall, Walds Peninsula and other places.

Due to the limited time, that is, the 10 -day holiday, the itinerary will be more rushing, and there is a feeling of walking around.

Ten days after walking outside, on the plane back to the United States, Xu Luo mentioned: "Because everyone is busy, some attractions may just turn around and leave, so I plan to invest in a pasture in the United States for vacation."

"By the way, employees are hired to plant grapes to make wine. At that time, everyone can take your family to travel, drink wine, hunt, fishing, fishing and other activities."

"This proposal is good!" Welch agreed, "But you are not in the United States all the year round. We want to see you is not an easy task. If you are not there, maybe we can't even enter the door."

Xu Luo gave her own ideas, "This is easy to do, then I will give you a member card, as long as you show your card, what do you think?"

Anyway, find a place to get together, and they all have their own private resort manor.

However, doing business is not to close the door by yourself.

For example, Welch will talk about a business with people this trip, selling the general home financial service company, and now just go back to sign the contract is OK.

"Except for the pasture, I think you'd better buy a manor."

Welch proposed, "A foreign friend said that there is a wine manor named Lagi Hall in Bordeaux in France, the wine manor named Lagi Hall is ready to be sold. If you are interested, I will help you ask."

Xu Luo twisted his head and thought about it, and asked, "Is there any name for this manor?"

He has not heard every manor.

Wellci said: "Let's say that, in 1785, Thomas Jefferson had rated the manor as a third -level village in his mind during his visit to Bordeaux.

"

"But because of poor business and other problems, the area of ​​this winery is only about 400 acres, but I think it is worth investing. The current operator is the San Daia family."

Hearing this, Xu Luo realized that it was Liuguan winery.

400 acres full of full calculation 162 hectares.

"Of course I want to buy such a good manor!" He immediately said, "Mr. Welch, please help you to match this sale."

Welch nodded, "But you have to be as soon as possible. I heard that the Japanese have been entangled with the French government for more than two years, so if you want to win, the price should not be cheap."

"As long as it is 50 million US dollars, I can accept it." Xu Luo gave his own price.

Welchi laughed, "If so much, you can buy larger and better wineries, and even buy half of France's winery."

"If you add a little more, you may even buy it even in the US Wagner Ranch. I estimate that this manor is currently about $ 10 million or 20 million."

"But guys, you need to know that after buying, if you want to operate this winery, it means you have to invest more money, otherwise it is a loss of money."

"Of course, I will have a good management person to help me take care of this winery." Xu Luo nodded.

I asked smoothly: "Is the Wagner Ranch sold? As long as the price is not high, I can accept it. I am talking about buying all the shares."

Everyone is interested in instantly.

"Are you sure you want to buy the Wagner Ranch?"

"Do you plan to be the ranch owner?"

"Guide, I have to say, your investment decision is suddenly suddenly."

Everyone talks about it.

It's not because he bids high, but this ranch is not as simple as $ 200 million.

The pasture is the largest and most expensive real estate in the world. It is located in Texas and covers an area of ​​510,000 acres (about 2064 square kilometers). It is still larger than New York and Los Angeles.

Even the ground is even the ground. There is still a very rich oil and natural gas resources under the ground.

And some oil wells that drilled drilling in the 1920s are still producing oil. It can be seen that its resources are abundant.

Therefore, Xu Luo wants to take out a expensive cost.

If you are not careful, you may have impulsive punishment.

After thinking seriously, Welch said with a joke: "I feel that it will definitely not be able to buy $ 10 million. If you have a higher bid, it is estimated that it is still possible."

"Okay, it seems that I can only increase the price."

Xu Luo said true, "If I can buy all the right to operate the pasture, such as land mining rights, all the shares of those oil companies, etc., as long as it does not exceed 500 million US dollars, I can accept it!"
