After taking a break for more than half a month, I still have to start working again.

The settlement and return of Cersei Capital Sub-Funds 6 to 10 has been completed during this period under the responsibility of Anthony Johnston.

After closing all positions and clearing fees at the end of last year, Cersei Capital has a total of $8.63 billion available for settlement.

According to the originally agreed commission ratio, among the total funds of 8.63 billion US dollars, the principal income attributable to Simon was 2.25 billion US dollars, and the commission income was 1.96 billion US dollars. Counting the initial 500 million US dollars in principal, Simon finally received 4.71 billion US dollars. .

The $100 million invested by the Johnston family ended up with a combined principal and income of $550 million.

The share of funds attributable to other investors was $3.37 billion, less the principal of $970 million, for a net gain of $2.4 billion. Although the rate of return is far from comparable to Simon, it has reached 250%, which has exceeded most hedge funds on the market. In the case of the same volume, there is no one that can achieve such a rate of return.

Therefore, after the settlement was completed, the US$1 billion fund raised by Cersei Capital from Australian investors was fully subscribed on the spot.

The Japanese stock market has slipped from a high of more than 40,000 points to below 38,000 points in recent months. However, the Japanese government still insists on not admitting that there is a serious bubble component in its own stock market. Presumably to support this argument, most of the assets held by Cersei Capital Sub-Funds 1 to 5 remain unsold.

The five sub-fund shells cannot be recovered in the short term, and this time they are raised in the name of the No. 6 sub-fund.

Unlike last year, because it intends to operate Cersei Capital for a long time and formally, the No. 6 sub-fund raised this time is mainly used for hedging operations, and the commission rate is fixed at 20%. As a preference for old customers, Australian investors still do not need to pay management fees.

In addition, the Simon and Johnston families have invested a total of $1.5 billion, which is different from the original plan, and is more than $500 million from the Johnston family.

The scale of fundraising in North America is still the planned US$1 billion. Just like the Australian side, James Raybold, who is in charge of this matter, just disclosed the news. In a subsequent fundraising meeting, the cumulative subscription amount in North America was directly doubled to over $2 billion.

Hedge funds are too big and have too obvious goals, which is not a good thing.

Therefore, after several discussions, the amount of funds raised in North America is still locked at $1 billion, and James has carefully selected some "financial masters" that may help Cersei Capital and the entire Westeros system. Of course, for this part of the investment, Cersei Capital will begin to charge a 2% management fee.

Although the No. 6 sub-fund used for hedging operations could not be expanded, Simon also asked James to release the news that Cersei Capital will conduct another fundraising in the near future, this time it will be used for other types of investments such as private equity and leveraged buyouts.

Simon became the richest man in North America from scratch in just three years. Such a miracle of wealth has become a golden sign. Therefore, although the subsequent fund raising is no longer used for hedging operations, there is still an endless stream of capital trying to subscribe for news.

After the vacation in Australia, Simon set off for North America early on the 16th, along with Janet, David Johnston and Leslie Wickett.

Leslie Whittaker will return to Cambridge University to resume classes on the 22nd, and before that, she plans to visit Daenerys Studios in person to see the office building that she is responsible for designing. David Johnston, who is studying for a Ph.D., does not have such a standard academic schedule, just accompanying his girlfriend.

After more than ten hours of flight, the Boeing 767 arrived in Los Angeles, dropped off David and Leslie, and picked up Amy Pascal and Nancy Brill, and everyone set off again for New York.

Because of the time difference, when I arrived in New York, it was still January 16, Tuesday afternoon on the east coast of the United States.

Blockbuster's launch date is Thursday, January 18.

Although two days in advance, the schedule here is full of arrangements.

After just a few hours of rest in their Fifth Avenue apartment, Simon and Janet headed to the Rayboulds for a well-planned investor reception, during which they also met with a few prospective industry managers.

Since the official operation is about to start, Janet will definitely be too busy alone.

Moreover, the two have previously agreed that the headquarters of Cersei Capital will be set up in Manhattan, because they are about to get married and plan to have a baby as soon as possible. Janet has no idea of ​​full-time, and women have a mentality of working hard. Deep-rooted, I only plan to work two or three days a week, not necessarily in Manhattan, and the rest will be handed over to professional managers.

After a year of operation last year, Janet has selected a team responsible for the operation of the No. 6 sub-fund, and directly gave 6 of them the status of partners, and generously distributed 30% of the equity of the No. 6 sub-fund.

The financial industry is different from the real industry. This industry is basically supported by various top talents. If there is not enough interest, talent can easily be poached by other companies.

Therefore, Simon also recognized Janet's equity allocation plan.

The division of sub-fund shares instead of parent company shares was also the result of discussions between the two.

With the expansion of the team size, there will definitely be other partners in the No. 6 sub-fund in the future, and the sub-fund of the next level will be further developed. However, no matter

How the stake is diluted will not affect Simon's control of Cersei Capital.

In fact, even if it is the No. 6 sub-fund, the parent company Cersei Capital adopts the model of separation of voting rights and income rights, and will always retain absolute control over this sub-fund.

Hedge fund operations teams are readily available, but to start other types of investments, new teams need to be formed.

Simon doesn't have any connections in Manhattan. However, James Leibold has been a financial lawyer for many years before, and his connections in this area are very extensive. Recently, he has helped Simon find a lot of suitable targets.

The evening reception was very lively.

As soon as Simon arrived with Janet, it immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

Not only the recent box office hit "Batman: Time for War", but the news of Simon's ten consecutive KO opponents at the Melbourne Arena on Saturday, accompanied by the outflow of a large number of pictures and videos, has also detonated a heated discussion in the North American media.

Compared with the huge wealth that is usually difficult to feel intuitively, the impact of tyrannical physical strength is much more intuitive.

At the same time that ordinary people are hotly discussing, there are even some top professional boxers who are half-truths to send Simon a fight.

Socializing in the crowd, James Raybold quickly brought Simon and the two to a middle-aged man in his thirties wearing rimless glasses.

"Simon, Jenny, this is Lawrence Fink. Lawrence, this is Simon and Jenny."

Lawrence Fink, currently the head of Blackstone Financial Management Company, a subsidiary of Blackstone Group, has about $3 billion in capital, and is mainly responsible for mainstream stock and bond investments.

After the last Batman: Hour of War premiere, Simon had a chat with Frank Walken, the boyfriend of Jennifer's best friend Lisa Collins, who had heard that he was working under Lawrence Funk. He soon noticed his boss and asked James to collect information on Lawrence Fink.

Now Lawrence Fink is only the head of a subsidiary of Blackstone Group.

However, Simon knew that more than ten years later, Lawrence Fink broke away from the Blackrock Group and created the Blackrock Group (also known as the BlackRock Group), which is younger than the old club.

At its peak, the scale of funds managed by Heiyan Group once exceeded 6 trillion US dollars, making it the largest asset management company in the world. Whether it is top technology companies such as Apple, Amazon, and Google, or traditional industrial giants such as General Electric and Walmart, Black Rock Group is its top five important shareholders.

Enterprise shareholding, in fact, means the corresponding right to speak.

With a huge total assets of 6 trillion US dollars, and the status of important shareholders of countless corporate giants, it is conceivable that the Black Rock Group has a terrible potential influence.

According to James' survey, Simon is also very satisfied with Lawrence Fink's previous resume. It happens that Lawrence Fink and the founder and CEO of Blackstone Group, Steve Schwarzman, have a relationship in corporate management and fund operations. The differences are getting bigger and bigger, and Simon has planned to dig out the entire team of Lawrence Fink.

In the information provided by James, Lawrence Fink is an investor who pays great attention to risk control and has a sufficiently cautious character. Coupled with the information in memory, Simon is willing to give more autonomy to the other party than the absolute control of the No. 6 sub-fund.

As for funding, it's not a problem at all for Simon.

With the respect of Simon in the capital market, he can easily raise more than twice the capital that Lawrence Fink now manages and hand it over to the other party.

After introducing each other a few words, everyone quickly found the topic of the recent takeover of Columbia Savings and Credit Bank by the federal government.

In fact, both parties knew that this was an interview.

Simon participated in the topic for a while, listening to Janet and Lawrence talking enthusiastically about the topic of vulture investment in the North American bond market that is still collapsing, gradually unable to keep up with the idea, simply walked away and handed over the work of gatekeeping to the Janet.

After getting along for a few years, Simon has become more and more aware of Janet's talent in knowing people.

It is said to be inherited from Raymond Johnston.

Greeting some other guests under the recommendation of James, and soon, a figure that surprised Simon appeared in front of him.

Or, two people.

Linda Carter, who was wearing a low-cut black dress, was holding a middle-aged man, it should be his husband.

Without waiting for James' introduction, the middle-aged man enthusiastically reached out to Simon and said, "Hello, Mr. Westeros, I'm Robert Altman."

This Robert Altman is obviously not the Hollywood Robert Altman.

Simon was accustomed to the phenomenon that Westerners have the same name, and it was not surprising that he extended his hand to the other side with a smile.

Linda Carter looked a little unnatural when she saw Simon. When he greeted her husband, she reached out and said, "Hello, Mr. Westeros."

The woman obviously pretended not to know herself, and Simon didn't break it, and greeted, "Hello, Mrs. Altman."

Linda Carter knew that Simon was obviously intentional, and some resentment flashed in his eyes, and explained: "Mr. Westeros, I don't take my husband's surname."

Simon said, "Oh, I'm so sorry."

"Simon, I heard that Daenerys Entertainment is already preparing a live-action movie of "Wonder Woman", maybe Linda can make a cameo role," Robert Altman smiled again at this time: "You know , Lynn

Dako's most popular Wonder Woman. "

Simon glanced at the woman and said, "Of course, if there is a chance."

After a few chats, Robert Altman introduced his work. He is also a lawyer, mainly engaged in the tax avoidance business of assisting overseas capital to be transferred back to the United States for investment.

Simon listened to Robert Altman's explanation, and probably understood why he was so eager to himself.

Cersei Capital has hoarded a lot of money overseas, and Simon is obviously a potential customer.

Everyone chatted for a while, and Robert Altman left his business card and invited Simon to have a meal together at noon tomorrow.

After the two left, James shook his head slightly at Simon and said, "Simon, it's better not to be too involved with Ultraman. The tax avoidance method used by this person has a lot of rubbing elements. To put it bluntly, it has the nature of money laundering. Rumor has it that the IRS is already targeting him."

Simon nodded and said, "I don't have such thoughts."

Having accumulated such a huge wealth in just a few years, Simon knows that there are definitely many people staring at him. Once he has a flaw, there will definitely be a large group of opponents coming up. Simon has enough confidence to accumulate a lot of wealth by completely adopting formal business methods, and now he will not consider using those unpopular sidewalks at all.

Continuing to turn around in the crowd, Janet walked back and said to Simon: "It has been negotiated, but Fink does not plan to change jobs with the team. He hopes that we can invest in buying the shares held by Blackstone Group. , so that the business in his hands can continue.”

"Where's the Blackstone Group?"

"Fink wants autonomy and wants to share more shares with other partners, and Steve Schwarzman insists on maintaining absolute control of the subsidiary, and the differences between the two have grown more and more. If Fink leads the team to change jobs, Blackstone will only be left with a mess. Compared to selling the asset management department to us, Blackstone will still be able to get a revenue, and they should not refuse.”

Simon nodded and asked again, "Have you discussed an offer with Fink?"

Janet said: "Blackstone Group currently holds 50% of the shares of Blackstone Financial Management Company. According to the Fink team's performance estimates in the past year, the quotation can be kept within 100 million US dollars. After taking over this company, I believe it will not be There are too many investors redeeming their original funds, and Fink's team is very stable. So, the investment is very worthwhile."
