The Goddess Shines on America

There are fifty-two states in the United States, and each state has a governor and a corresponding senator. Considering that not all congressmen and governors have been able to reach the end of their terms steadily in the past century, so to this day, there will be a change of governors and congressmen in the United States every year. From local to central scope, from state legislatures to Capitol Hill institutions, from local tabloids to Washington Post media, all politicians live very lively dates every day.

For some economically developed continents, even though they are geographically separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, they are still closely connected with each other.

The most likely governor of California is Peter Wilson, who has repeatedly failed the judicial examination. 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 a 20-minute intimate conversation at a republican gathering.

Of course, people on the east coast have always liked to make a high profile about what happened on the west coast, especially the native New Yorkers, eager to show their sense of superiority from every angle. People have to admit that Peter Wilson has found a big customer for his governorship. If all the members of the Alice Building are mobilized, his approval rating will definitely beat his opponent by five percentage points.

But if it is the New York governor's election, and of course the senatorial election to DC, it still has to rely on traditional Wall Street forces, not her super big new money with a Chinese background. Just look at how many skyscrapers there are in Manhattan, how many world-renowned companies and financial institutions, Alice Wang is a model in California, but she has to pretend to be a grandson when she goes to Wall Street!

This kind of thinking, at least until May, is no problem.

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

The company also established by Alice Wang, Vanda Company registered in London, England, acquired a large piece of open space between the south of midtown Manhattan and the north of downtown Manhattan with an astonishing amount of money. This involves the company's inherent assets, bank loans, institutional venture capital, and celebrity luxury companies' joint ventures. The total amount of funds is huge, and the purchase of land is very broad, which is rare in the history of real estate in Manhattan.

So here comes the question, Vanda suddenly purchased such a large piece of bordering land, what is it going to do?

Unlike the current big real estate bubble in Japan, which anyone with a discerning eye can see but hides from all Japanese, the U.S. real estate market fluctuated by only 10% in a century, and it only 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 just a financial commodity. No one will go bankrupt and spend a lot of money, and naturally there will be no bubble effect of fluctuating highs and lows.

Therefore, Alice Wang's astonishing investment is naturally for the purpose of making money in the financial field, but it is as many people expected next.

demolition.

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

Many office workers and corporate executives have the habit of reading the New York Times during the morning rush hours, before work, during lunch breaks, and after work. Therefore, with the effect of spreading from generation to generation, this matter will become widely known in less than a day. up.

Whether it is an ordinary office worker, an executive of a company, or even a more senior wealthy person, everyone's first reaction after seeing this news is that they are all surprised. What is the concept of building twenty-one skyscrapers in Manhattan! ?

Of course, of course, billions of dollars in real estate investment is not so amazing for a really large-scale group. Just like the well-known real estate tycoon in recent years, Donald-***, didn’t he not only manage his own real estate empire, but also bought a single building in Manhattan as his headquarters, and it was the tallest building ever !

But it can be done, but it doesn't mean that someone will do it, and it doesn't mean that other people shouldn't be surprised when this kind of news comes out. Especially this news is not a veteran consortium, but a super upstart on the west coast, Alice Wang!

Just think of Donald-***, a celebrity who hangs out in New York circles 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 the business every summer during the four years of university, he did not want to stay in Queens, New York City, where his life circle was narrow. He would rather move to the bustling Manhattan alone, where he met many wealthy and powerful people in the high-level social circle. Political and economic celebrities. Facts have proved that this will indeed be of great help to his future real estate development.

In this way, he has been in charge of his father's real estate company since 1971, and he is quite famous in New York at the age of thirty-four. As of 1990 today, his personal wealth has also successfully aspired to a huge 1.7 billion US dollars. Even though there is an element of inheriting his father's business, residents of Manhattan's Upper East Side can see what it really does.

All right.

Personal assets of 1.7 billion US dollars, don't worry about how much of the company's shares he owns.

Compared with Alice-Wang, it is indeed not so good. Not to mention the comprehensive evaluation, Microsoft and Cisco just pick one out, and its shareholding can be completely exploded. I don’t know how many streets.

They are also the top upstarts who started their businesses in Manhattan, and they are also real estate. Residents of the Upper East Side can't help but feel emotional when they compare them for a moment. At any rate, his mother inherited his father's business and devoted himself to the development of local real estate for nearly two decades. Only then did he have a real estate empire of the current scale and worth. But look at Alice Wang, she just started her business in May six years ago, and she just started to set foot in the real estate industry last year. At one time, it was considered a joke, but now?

Really, if this Vanda Plaza in Manhattan is really built, its individual value will be almost equivalent to the entire *** group...

The initial surprise and admiration, and then quickly, to the stage of understanding and analysis. According to this big news, the media itself 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 the Manhattan real estate industry. They will only realize the latest changes in the relevant field when the news is officially published.

Realizing part of the stock is Alice Wang's first step in raising funds, but it is by no means a huge sell-off. Compared with her overall share in Microsoft and Cisco, that little percentage 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 are easily available.

Then there is the loan. Based on the development potential that has skyrocketed over the years, Wall Street banks were very happy to advance the payment as early as when she was building the Alice Building, and the facts have also proved that this upstart girl really lived up to expectations. Therefore, when she decided to start a major construction project in Manhattan, Citigroup, Bank of America, Bank of America, and even Standard Chartered and UBS couldn't help getting involved, hoping that she could provide some loan interest.

It is not surprising that the principal, plus the loan in hand, attracts more investment from institutions and celebrities. Not everyone can check the information so carefully, but anyone who can find it can easily dig out the names of certain organizations and people behind the scenes from the information, and who are the big bosses standing.

Lockheed has invested, although its market value is average, 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 is successful, Lockheed will definitely get at least 50 million net profits from each aircraft-this is all cash. Since Alice-Wang can persuade such a rich master, is it not enough to make her return with a casual throw of three to two hundred million?

For businessmen who have reached a certain level, every major action must be far-sighted, and many people quickly came to the conclusion that Alice-Wang is going to march to the east coast on a large scale.

The company registered in the UK is not only Vanda, but also has a protective umbrella. Although the pharmaceutical company that is selling miraculous weight-loss drugs has not even been established for a year, many people are looking forward to its listing. For the two of them, it is only natural to cross the Atlantic Ocean and set up a branch in Manhattan, and this is a real century-old industry!

What's more, the news on the west coast is updated every day, and those who are interested will know that the entire California consortium is secretly surging. Starting with Northrop Grumman’s direct contact, the president of the Bank of America also visited the Alice Building next door, and just one month later, it was Alice Wang herself who started socializing in the California border. Activities, all kinds of things show that this girl is making big moves.

No fool would ignore a rising star on the West Coast just because it's geographically separated by the Great Central Plains. What's more, everyone knows that as Microsoft in Seattle becomes more powerful, and as the business relationship between Cisco and Microsoft becomes closer, the coverage of this emerging interest group is really not a California, but the entire West Coast!

So soon, invitation letters crossed the Central Great Plains, and were mailed from the east coast to the west.

"There are these things every day..."

When Monica held the latest batch of letters in front of her, Alice said without raising her head: "Just deal with it as usual."

"Actually, you still need to participate in many high-end forums. Are you sure you want to destroy them all?"

Monica had to ask. Of course, she has investigated the source of each letter clearly, like the top one in her hand now, it is really an invitation to a banquet held by the Rockefeller family, the descendants of the founder of Mobil Oil. Don't look at these years, this name has become more and more just a name, but such a name is enough to attract quite a lot of rich people, forming an independent class that strangers don't get close to!

However, Alice still shook her head and said, "I don't have time to be those socialites who drink and drink all day long, Monica, give me the school's funding plan."

Monica had no choice but to nod, and then backed away, not forgetting to press the handle first when closing the door.

Alice sat on the office chair, and when Monica closed the door, she stretched lazily.

Then he turned the chair and faced the floor-to-ceiling windows behind him.

"call……"

She rubbed her temples.

Today is another batch. Fortunately, those people also know that invitation letters are routine. The clerk changed the date on the computer a little bit, and sent a copy letter to himself according to the template. Is this the rhythm of playing crowd tactics? ?

No, Alice thought about it, in fact, this is their own routine, right?

Or Rowling? Hundreds of Hogwarts acceptance letters flocked in, and now they are being abused by these Upper East Side residents?

It's been a week, and the old money has been sending her various invitations endlessly, are they afraid that they will be like the Chinese laborers who joined the gold rush back then, leaving the natives with nothing to do?

So you want to take a quick look at yourself?

Alice doesn't want to lower her self-worth, once she agrees to an invitation letter, it means she wants to actively integrate into that circle. Tsk tsk, isn't she the gold digger Holly who lingers in front of the Tiffany jewelry store every day? Even if *** is president, isn't she not recognized by Wall Street?

Get used to his east coast problems!

Laughing, Alice looked down at the scenery outside the window.

In fact, after looking at it for a long time, the high-altitude view of Manhattan is more impressive.

Los Angeles...is a princess after all.

With nothing to do, Alice began to think about the similarities and differences between herself and traditional Silicon Valley people. In fact, it is very simple. Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon, everyone is basically a technician, and it is inevitable that they all have some secondary ideals that change the world. The classic phrase of "I didn't think about making a lot of money, I just wanted to contribute to mankind, so I posted it out of nowhere" was theirs.

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

What you want is to see all the mountains and small things.

Therefore, the overlooking view of Los Angeles is really not very good.

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

Such a rare social gathering in the past five or six years has already annoyed her enough.

"Oh, it's actually normal. After all, I'm a technical genius. I can't chat with a group of middle-aged men and Gossip Girls."

Complain a few or two words, and then it can be over. Monica is walking forward with the plan she wants.

"This one is from Stanford." The proposals were categorized in great detail. As Monica showed after opening the folder, each target school was bound separately: "MIT, Caltech, and the various branches of the University of California , everyone is very happy to have upstarts who can support their development."

Alice smiled slightly, ignoring Stanford, the Bosacks' alma mater, and turned the UCLA single page first. Over the years, Dad has been teaching and educating people there peacefully, so since there is a good thing that benefits all California colleges and universities, how can it not be a priority?
