Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant

   Chapter 236 Venture Capital

   Later, An Feng also learned some inside information.

The Sinclair family has been well-known since the beginning of the 20th century. The family business is very enjoyable and has accumulated huge funds. When the capital was the strongest, they had their own bank and prepared to operate across fields. Not good at closing the door, and concentrate on the energy field.

After the 1980s and 1990s, Sinclair's assets reached a considerable scale, and he was able to support the operation of the consortium. Both economic and political foundations were strong, so they tried the second time, but due to differences in family management concepts, Even if everyone cooperates well, they still can't keep up with the rhythm of modern consortiums.

If you want to continue to grow, you can only change, especially in the case of a godsend - Anfeng's technology is the door to wealth opened for them, energy, chips or medicine, as long as the three aspects cooperate properly, they will develop into a giant is a breeze.

According to internal statistics, 92% of the shares in GP are owned by the consortium, and GP also controls two super profitable subsidiaries. This is simply a money-making machine tailor-made for the consortium... After a few days of discussion, Everyone agreed to reach an agreement for close cooperation.

  In fact, it was mainly the Sinclair family who nodded, and others can talk about it...because the prosperity of the consortium largely depends on this family, whether it is money or contacts, as long as they are there, the foundation is strong enough. Only in this way can we develop at full speed without any worries.

  They have to get the American Express first. The consortium holding the financial group is a symbol, which means that the consortium can have a huge source of funds, and the internal circulation of funds is no longer a problem. Unlike other companies, when they have no money, they can only borrow money from the bank or raise funds from the society.

This time, the Sinclair family invested more than 10 billion through several subordinate companies. With the market value of 100 billion, the Sinclair family acquired 10% of its shares. Together with the shares of other members of the consortium, it finally reached 50.5%. Belongs to consortium holdings. So far, the first step of expansion has been completed.

  The acquisition of AmEx also relieved the Blueline family, which owns 35% of Amex shares, and they turned around and were almost dragged to death. Fortunately, they stopped in time. After finishing these, it is the circulation of internal funds. As An Feng is a "personal family", all projects are not fortified against him.

He took advantage of his power to look through everyone's information for the simple purpose of wondering how much money they have, but for non-financial professionals, it is difficult to understand this pile of account books. Anyway, the total assets of the consortium exceed trillions. Assets are meaningless. There are a lot of companies with hundreds of billions of assets and a market value of only one or two billion.

   To measure the value of a listed company, the market value is the key.

  In addition to the listed companies, there are also many non-listed companies in the consortium, many of which are confidential, especially those of the Sinclair family. After reading the information, An Feng felt that they were really rich!

An Feng's data was estimated by the customization team headed by Hardy Locke. Because of the epoch-making nature of GP, it is currently around 80 billion. If it is disclosed to Forbes, he will be the richest man in the world without any suspense, compared to the second The famous 70 billion is much more.

It's a pity that "the richest man in the world" has a few hundred million left in his pocket. The cost of changing the world is astronomical. With the current technological environment of the earth, the industry is backward, and it doesn't matter what you want. It costs hundreds of billions to make a spaceship, at least . So when his personal assets exceed trillions, it can be said in another way, when he is rich enough to be able to do things happily.

   But also a little consolation — consortia. The consortium can provide Anfeng with a lot of funds, and it is no problem to raise tens of billions in an emergency. The consortium needs to be stronger and richer to be able to implement An Feng's plan - now that he has figured it out, it is very difficult to carry the burden by himself.

   Let him earn so much money, even if he cheats, it will take years and months to do it. But everyone contributes together, and it is easy to get money from the consortium—although they may not know what An Feng will use the money for. But to mitigate the chain effect, he won't say it.

  But some things can't be hidden.

  For example, An Feng's beverage company plan, although he has repeatedly said that there is no prospect, but they are all his own people, so they have to invest some funds to provide some help.

  It was normal at first, but after An Feng asked the price, the capitalists realized that there was something in it.

  Matthew said to him with a half-smile: "We need to talk!"

  An Feng has no choice but to talk if he wants to talk... In a restaurant in Los Angeles, Matthew and Anthony sat opposite him, discussing the content in depth.

  Finally, Matthew asked: "You mean, it's not just as simple as a drink? It also has the effect of improving physical fitness and relieving fatigue?"

   "The drink is easy to understand, but it is actually biotechnology." An Feng said, "If you want to try it, I will give you a few bottles later."

   "You are amazing!" Matthew said in surprise, "I wonder if you have a 24-hour machine in your head, buzzing."

   An Feng smiled, it was obviously a joke - but he was right.

  Anthony is more realistic: "According to your thinking, even if you accept our venture capital, you have to pay at least 16 times the price?"

  An Feng nodded: "According to its future market, 16 times will become 160 times or even higher sooner or later. Even since you talked to me, I changed it to 100 times—"

   "100? Wait! Wait!" Both Matthew and Anthony expressed their dissatisfaction.

An Feng smiled: "Of course, since I told you at least 16 times, I will not change it. But a reminder, there may be no profit for a year or two, and its effect is slow. During this period, it will consume a lot of money and patience. , and even let your investment go down the drain.”

   Both of them are seriously thinking about it, and now they are spending money everywhere.

  Matthew asked: "How much is the minimum start?"

   "100 million." An Feng said with certainty.

  Finally Matthew gave up: "Let's talk about it next time. I'm afraid you and I will also get a lot of money from the cooperation with the pharmaceutical factory."

  An Feng can understand: "Of course, it mainly depends on you."

   Anthony is interested: "Perhaps my family can give you a sum of money, but it will be a month or two late, after the arrears are recovered."

  An Feng thought for a while and agreed: "No problem, just pay 16 times the price we negotiated. How much do you plan to get?"

   "Around 20 percent," Anthony said.

  An Feng said: "There are quite a few, so you trust me?"

  Anthony said with a smile: "Venture investment! Before this, not many people believed in graphene chips, super batteries or cure cancer."

   "Okay, you can get some test items to boost your confidence." An Feng said.

  …

  The negotiation this time was not bad. Although I gave up some shares, as a core member of the consortium, I just talked about benefit sharing a few days ago, and now I am eating alone... Bad rules do not come from this way. Especially when everyone is optimistic about him and trusts him, just sacrifice a little. Anyway, the resources of the consortium can be used by themselves, right?

  In addition to talking about business, the three also chatted about other things, such as the recent popular presidential campaign.

Anderson's popularity is very high. At present, there are two guaranteed votes in the two most populous states, California and Texas. He has a great chance of winning, and it is now October. Ballots, the final result will be confirmed by December.

Matthew said about the success of the election: "If Anderson can be elected, the Republican Party headed by him can bring us a lot of convenience, including in the oil and financial fields. Especially new energy, it violates the interests of many people , we must always be careful of our opponents!"

  An Feng asked: "Are those in the oil field?"

Matthew nodded: "Of course, some people want to put pressure on us to make GP Energy invest more or simply issue shares. In the month that Tesla and GP Energy signed the contract, Bazel blocked two oil partners from sharing benefits. The request made the relationship a little stiff."

An Feng was stunned, his life was peaceful, but he never thought that GP Energy would face so many troubles, and even a consortium wanted to buy shares at a high price...but most of what Matthew said was positive, that is, relying on relationships to gain some benefits , are all aboveboard.

   As for the secrets, to be honest, no, after all, you are the representative of the interest class, and why not Sinclair? Those who dare to play like this will offend not just one person, but a class. It involves the most fundamental rules of the game, fighting and killing are just low-level means.

  In short, with the blockade of giant consortiums and a strong political force, GP's development path will be very stable. With its current market share, it is far from facing anti-monopoly. However, the future is uncertain, but they are already planning and preparing for this aspect.

   After chatting for several hours, everyone left together.

None of them noticed that there was a camera pointed at them in a black Camry parked on the street opposite the coffee shop. From walking out of the coffee shop to sitting in the luxury car picked up at the door, a series of actions were taken one after another. A few, even the license plate is also recorded.

  The photographer looked at the effect and was very satisfied, and the car left in a low-key manner.

  An Feng and Matthew are in the same car, ready to take Matthew to the airport. An Feng said: "Flying around all day, don't you think about buying a house in the local area?"

  Matthew said: "I have this plan, especially in the future, the focus of work will be concentrated in the west, but we have to wait for Catherine to graduate."

   "Is she graduating next year? What kind of university do you intend to go to?"

   "Not sure for now, but we respect her opinion and interest." Matthew said, took out the vibrating mobile phone in his pocket, answered, and his brows quickly frowned.

   "Check it out!" Matthew's voice was a little harsh.

   Seeing him put down the phone, An Feng asked, "What's going on?"

  “The bodyguards found someone secretly filming us. The identity is unknown at present. It is said that they are a bit like gossip reporters, but we are not public figures.”

   "Maybe they are interested in the super rich!" An Feng said.

  Matthew shook his head: "The invasion of privacy and portrait rights alone is enough for them to drink a pot. No one dares to make fun of the privacy of the rich!"

  An Feng thought of Aegis Security: "Maybe my subordinates can handle it."

  Matthew glanced at him and nodded: "Let's do this for now, I'll let a bodyguard stay and cooperate with you."
