Chapter 509 The real estate agent wearing a red scarf (4k)
The morning light is fading, and there are few people in New York's Central Park.
Lu Fei was wearing sportswear and running side by side with Ivanka, who had her hair tied into a ponytail, followed closely by a group of bodyguards.
After running 5,000 meters, the sun became more and more dazzling. Through the layers of leaves, it leaked onto a white bench under the tree and onto John Paulson's face.
Compared with half a year ago, my face is paler, my cheeks are thinner, my glasses lenses are thicker, my eyes are bloodshot, my head is bald, my beard is unkempt, I am haggard and slovenly.
"When you asked me to meet, didn't you think about taking care of yourself before going out? At least shave your beard."
Lu Fei sat at the other end of the bench, wiping his sweat with a towel.
"Lu, why are you in such a good mood?"
John Paulson's eyes were filled with envy.
Lu Fei shrugged: "It's very simple. When you have endured a stressful period like gold futures, you will have a heart of steel."
"Yeah, I've never done a trade like this. There are so many people who are bullish and very few people who are bearish."
John Paulson let out a long breath.
"Isn't this our opportunity! We can maximize the advantage of people's blind optimism about real estate."
Lu Fei unscrewed the thermos cup and poured water into the lid.
"I wonder if the judgment on subprime mortgages is too pessimistic? The market is now booming, and our fund has been losing money. Every month, those bastards from Bank of America, Chase, and HSBC laugh at our stupidity while happily collecting premiums.
Farke!”
John Paulson was upset and scratched his remaining hair, "If I hadn't kept running every day and kept masturbating to relieve stress, I would have collapsed."
"Economic crises all have cycles."
Lu Fei raised his lips, "There is an iron law in so many economic crises in history, which is the 'Auntie's Law'. That is, even the aunties who buy groceries are rushing to buy a stock. You'd better withdraw immediately, because this
The time is definitely not far from collapse.”
John Paulson's eyes lit up and he immediately thought of the bursting of the Internet bubble. This avalanche also gave him an opportunity. The fund grew against the trend and became famous on Wall Street.
His spirits lifted, but he soon sighed: "I don't know if I can survive until I collapse. I have to masturbate twice a day now, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. My body can't bear it. Maybe I should give it a try."
Take some leaves."
"Don't worry, maybe the news I brought today can help you save some money." Lu Fei smiled and took a sip of water, "Did you know that the largest subprime mortgage loan company, Ameriquest Mortgage, has spent US$325 million to...
Secretly investigating irregular loans in real estate lending.”
"I bought it! I bought it!!"
John Paulson's expression was dull, and then he jumped up from the bench in shock, "Lu, you're not lying to me, are you?"
Lu Fei raised his legs and said in a relaxed tone, "What do you think?"
"Farke! Farke! Farke!"
John Paulson was so excited that he could not speak coherently, his face was red, and veins burst out on his neck. His trembling hands were clenched into fists, and he punched the air with both fists.
"What on earth are they talking about?"
Ivanka wiped her sweat, and her eyes seemed to fall on the two of them not far away casually. However, Wang Ben, the door god, was standing guard, and she could not get close. She could only barely hear the sound, and the conversation was fragmented and not at all.
Can't hear details and key points clearly.
She couldn't help but pursed her lips, feeling worried. She had spent 3 million US dollars on John Paulson's fund. It might not be a big deal to Mr. Lu, but to a family like her with billions of dollars in debt, it was a huge sum of money.
"As expected, it is indeed so."
John Paulson stomped his foot hard, "I have long suspected that the rating agencies have problems when rating subprime mortgage products. I have to send a team to conduct a large-scale investigation immediately, right away!"
"I've already made arrangements."
Lu Fei shook his crossed legs and said, "John, do you have the guts to start a second fund now? I can do you a favor. I will provide the money as bait?"
"How much capital do you plan to inject?"
John Paulson adjusted his glasses.
Lu Fei stretched out a finger with a mysterious smile on his face.
"Or 100 million?"
"No, it's 1 billion for each fund!"
"Isn't this too much?"
John Paulson took a breath. His entire fund management scale was only 4 billion, which was half the size.
Lu Fei shook his finger, "The more you sell, the more you earn. As much as I short, Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch will follow."
John Paulson suddenly realized, "Understood! When it is done! The 2 billion will be returned in full, and we will share the few dollars from Wall Street."
"It is best for the fund to operate at the end of the year. Please keep your trading operation model confidential and do not disclose it. Of course, that does not include me."
Lu Fei smiled, and the Three Body Fund was also building a position.
John Paulson pondered for a moment, "Lu, you are right, I will install special security software and have all employees sign confidentiality agreements."
"Still talking about Daole."
Ivanka frowned tightly, she could only watch but not listen, and her heart was itching. At this moment, her cell phone rang suddenly. When she saw the caller number, her face changed drastically, and she became uncertain.
After a long while, Lu Fei and John Paulson shook hands and separated.
When he turned around and returned to Ivanka, he saw her approaching me with a solemn face, and a hint of helplessness in her tone:
"My dad came to New York and was in the hotel where we stayed before."
"Daddy wants to see his daughter?"
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows: "No problem, I approved this leave.
"And you."
Ivanka stared at him with mixed emotions.
…………
"That bastard's room fee was all signed by Ivanka?"
In the splendid office of the hotel, Dong Jinmao was checking the accounts, constantly flipping through the front desk accounting sheet, becoming more and more angry.
"Yes, sir."
The manager bowed his head and did not dare to speak loudly.
"Damn it, Fuck, that bastard even asked Ivanka to pay for Durex! This bastard is a super big bastard!"
Dong Jinmao's face turned red, and his anger erupted like a volcano.
Eat mine, live in my house, sleep in my house, and it’s my money, my money!!
The manager lowered his head even lower and cursed in his heart, "Don't laugh at a hundred steps at fifty steps. You are no different. You are also a super old bastard."
"Ding-a-ling, jingle-a-ling."
Suddenly the secretary's voice came over the phone, "Boss, Miss Lu He has arrived."
"Honey, my baby~"
Dong Jinmao hugged Ivanka with a smile and made a kiss. Then his eyes moved to Lu Fei. He gritted his teeth with hatred, but on the surface he was more amiable and said: "Hi, Lu."
So enthusiastic?
Lu Fei shook hands with him and immediately noticed something strange.
Ivanka asked curiously: "Dad, why are you here?"
"Now is the golden age of real estate. Entertainment and leisure resorts must take advantage of the victory. I have a grand plan."
Dong Jinmao glanced at Lu Fei and said leisurely: "I plan to develop my first resort and sixth golf course outside the United States!"
"Really, where are you going to build it?"
Ivanka glanced at him, then looked at Lu Fei excitedly.
Dong Jinmao did not say directly, "Lu, where do you think it is appropriate to choose?"
Lu Fei narrowed his eyes and responded: "If it weren't for the fact that China was vigorously renovating golf courses, I would recommend it."
"Haha, it is indeed a great choice."
Dong Jinmao acted like he was playing an organ, "Actually, last year, I had someone register a trademark in Ivanka's name in China and prepare for investment. But as you said, I no longer meet the conditions, so I changed to Europe.
, find a beautiful, ecological and livable place in Europe, and build the best golf course in Europe and the best in the world!"
Lu Fei said nothing and watched him talk about stand-up comedy.
"I searched for a long time and finally found it on the east coast of Scotland. It was a village called 'Balmedy'."
Dong Jinmao was immersed in his own world, talking endlessly and vividly describing the layout of the golf course.
“Two 18-hole courses are built on the naturally occurring sand dunes of the east coast, where all the world’s top golf events will be held…
Next to it is an 8-story five-star hotel, 36 luxury villas, 500 private high-end residences and 950 vacation apartments, what do you think?"
"I don't understand. You are the professional in this area."
Lu Fei spread his hands and refused to answer.
"You are right, no one knows real estate better than me!" Dong Jinmao raised his chin proudly, "I plan to invest 1 billion pounds to build it. Considering your relationship with Ivanka, I can spend 100 million pounds
You only need to invest the money, and I will run the project, handle the procedures, and do the construction. You can comfortably share the money when you two go on vacation in the future."
Co-writing is borrowing money!
Lu Fei's face remained calm, and he had already greeted him with all kinds of swear words in his mind. In the entire American financial circle, his reputation has long been bad. His capital chain has been broken several times, bankrupt and reorganized several times, and no bank is willing to lend him money again.
Give him money.
Typical meat buns beating dogs, there is no return.
He touched his chin pretending to be embarrassed: "Thank you very much for your kindness, but I refuse. The reason is very clear to Ivanka. I am very optimistic about the future of subprime mortgages and real estate. I just made up my mind not long ago to bear the pain of holding the high-quality bonds in my hands."
Sold to Merrill Lynch."
When Dong Jinmao saw his daughter nodding, he snorted coldly and asked Ivanka to get a can of Coke for him, "Damn it, what are these people doing? They clearly know that I am a prohibitionist and only like to drink Coke.
And put so much wine in the wine cabinet."
After sending his daughter away with a few words, he leaned forward and stared at Lu Fei with a half-smile, "Don't refuse in a hurry, Lu, the 100 million pounds you invested can account for 8% of the equity of this resort hotel. Think about it.
How many times can the current real estate market increase after it is completed? Are you sure you want to give up such a big business?
Lu Fei also laughed, "Although you are Ivanka's father, based on your good reputation in the financial circle and my worries about the future of real estate... 8% of the shares, haha."
The implication is, you have to pay more!
Dong Jinmao laughed loudly: "How much do you hope to get?"
Lu Fei said: "No, no, it doesn't matter 10% or 20%. What I lack now is trust."
You are really a genius at pretending to be confused!
Lu Fei shook his head and laughed: "What do you think?"
Dong Jinmao frowned slightly, "Well, I won't object to you dating Ivanka. I would never allow it. No one can resist a girl as charming as her. If it weren't for my daughter, I would date her.
, it’s not your turn at all.”
"I remember you have a daughter named Tiffany, right? She has the same blond hair as Ivanka." Lu Fei continued to test, "Sauri, I'm kidding."
As soon as these words came out, Dong Jinmao almost couldn't help but yell. What a bastard, you really dare to think about eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. Although Tiffany has always been disliked and neglected, she is also the second daughter.
What a shameless bastard!
I have never enjoyed it so much!
He had a sullen face and smiled coldly: "Lu, it turns out you need such a sense of trust. Why, why on earth would I let you be so untrustworthy?"
Lu Fei said lightly: "Hebin South Project."
Dong Jinmao's expression changed slightly: "I don't understand what you mean?
"Is it true that you don't understand or is it intentional?"
Lu Fei crossed his arms when he saw that it hit his sore point.
In the 1990s, Dong Jinmao took over the family business, transformed into the American version of Wang Sicong, and started the entrepreneurial journey of the third generation of rich people.
I invested in all kinds of investments, including Plaza Hotels, air transportation, and even the most luxurious casinos, but the result was that my steps were too big and ridiculous.
The economic crisis suddenly came, with hotels closing down, casinos collapsing, and airlines going bankrupt. At this time, he was heavily in debt and was forced to pay by a group of banks.
I don’t have any money, but luckily I still have a piece of land south of the river.
The prime core area of Manhattan covers an area of 310,000 square meters, but the land alone is not enough, and there is no money to develop it. It is equivalent to having a golden rice bowl and having to beg for food. I originally wanted to cooperate with Neon, but with a plaza agreement, Little Neon's own life has also changed.
Not having a good time.
I have no choice but to post hero posts widely and beg for cooperation!
It just so happened that Xiangjiang's jewelry magnates, the Zheng family, and the heads of Rui'an Group both had the idea of investing overseas, so Zheng Luo gave a good price and jointly invested US$90 million to purchase 70% of the equity of the land, and then invested US$200 million in the development project.
.
He didn't have to do anything. He only took 30% of the shares and lived like this. What was originally a dead end for him was also revived.
This year, taking advantage of the subprime mortgage and real estate boom, Zheng and Luo sold the property for US$1.76 billion. Dong Jinmao could earn a net US$500 million. It was originally a win-win situation, but he didn't expect that he would not follow the routine.
Card, backhand will bring Zheng Luo to court.
The reason is quite strange, because the house was sold for too little money!
Seeing how much he hates China, you can guess that he will probably lose the lawsuit. Sure enough, there is no such thing as hatred without reason.
"I never thought you would know!"
Dong Jin stood up in a hurry, widened his eyes and said: "You have known from the beginning that Fa Ke, Zheng Luo and the rest are cunning bastards, and you are too, a super bastard."
"We are all bastards, we should all be hanged from the street lamp." Lu Fei stood up immediately with a frosty face, "But please don't talk about my country and family, ever!"
"Okay, okay, let's settle the matter now. Didn't you just blaspheme my daughter, and two of them!"
Dong Jinmao spoke coldly, with a livid face.
Lu Fei grinned and said, "No, no, I'm not just talking about it, I'm also taking action."
"Shut up!"
Dong Jinmao felt like his heart was going to explode, "For Ivanka's sake, I won't argue with you, but I have to say that you are an out-and-out dwarf in real estate. It's a blessing that you didn't do real estate, otherwise you wouldn't be where you are today.
You are so successful that you can sit with me."
"Okay, I also want to remind you for Ivanka's sake that real estate will always fall back. If it were me, there would be no problem in taking action at this time. You should seek an out-of-court settlement. Don't you happen to have no money? It's completely
You can use 500 million in cash to invest in resort hotels.”
"Do you think I will be short of this 100 million pounds? It will be your loss if you don't invest in the resort!"
"Ah, yes, yes, I wish you success."
Lu Fei is so weird, the subprime mortgage crisis is just waiting for him to go bankrupt.
"Dad, can the Coke you want be delivered to you now?" Ivanka knocked on the door and said loudly outside the house.
"No need, Ivanka, our conversation is over. You will stay in the hotel to have dinner with me later."
Dong Jinmao replied, turned around and said in a threatening tone: "My daughter will only marry a gentleman who is willing to help her father. Soon I will let Ivanka leave your shabby film company, you best bastard
Stay away from her, or I will let you taste my power."
Lu Fei blinked his right eye and said, "You can try it. I don't think she will agree, because I gave her a project that she couldn't bear to leave. As her father, maybe you should help her and make a guest appearance."
Role."
"Am I acting in your movie?"
Dong Jinmao scoffed, "Don't think that I will agree because Ivanka is the producer. I won't film even if I jump from the building!"
Lu Fei smiled and said: "Do you want to be the president? Are you addicted?"
"What?!"
"Yes, my president."
"General...President."
Dong Jinmao stroked the red scarf on his chest, his heart racing.
Thank you. Please don’t make a fuss about the 100 starting coins.
