American Fortune Life

"the first lady?"

Andy looked at his mother whose eyes were shining brightly, and couldn't help asking teasingly, in exchange for Li Wanqing's giggling, her eyes crescent-shaped.

"So, Andy, how is your acquisition of NBCUniversal going?"

Li Wanqing restrained her smile, glanced at her husband, and then looked at her son and asked with concern.

"It's almost there, and this time it will be a 100% acquisition, including the 70-story Rockefeller Center Building 30!"

Hearing Andy's 100% acquisition, Auston and Li Wanqing looked at each other and smiled. Before they recovered, they heard the Rockefeller Center. Asked: "What?"

"That's right, the building located between Fifth Avenue and Seventh Avenue, and between 49th Street and 52nd Street, in the most prosperous Midtown Manhattan in New York. There are many merchants and every inch of land. The headquarters of General Electric, NBC Television Network and the Associated Press All in Rockefeller Center!

Rockefeller Center was included in the deal for $1.6 billion, and from now on this most prestigious landmark in New York will be mine, Andy Smith! "

Andy raised his chin slightly, and said with a very proud and arrogant look.

"Oh, God!"

"..."

"This is simply too unbelievable!" Li Wanqing was the most shocked, her beautiful eyes opened wide and round, she threw down the knife and fork, pinched the proud son's cheek with excited hands and began to shake it from side to side, exclaiming.

Andy's face was pinched and deformed, and the black line on his forehead was standing out, but seeing Li Wanqing's surprised, excited and proud expression and eyes, he could only grin his teeth and let the excited mother vent her emotions up.

And Auston's expression was equally wonderful, but in the end, he looked at his son whose face was deformed by his wife's rouge with gratified and proud eyes, shaking his head and chuckling.

The significance of Rockefeller Center to New Yorkers, and even Americans, is extraordinary.

At that time, at the end of the 1980s, a symbol of the economic transformation of the United States, the foot basin people who got rich came to the United States with a lot of dollars to make acquisitions. The most proud thing for the people in the foot basin is that a real estate company under the foot basin 30 Group bought the Rockefeller Center at a price of 1.5 billion US dollars.

At that time, the United States, which was in the process of economic transformation, put the heavy burden of traditional industries on the shoulders of the foot basin, in exchange for a large amount of much-needed funds to develop high-tech industries.

Finally in 1996, 30 Group Real Estate Company declared the Rockefeller Center project bankrupt, and sold it back to Americans including the Rockefeller family at a price of 308 million US dollars, plus 800 million US dollars in debt.

As a result, the footbath merchants who quit in embarrassment were taken advantage of by the old New York bosses, which also marked the turn of the footbath economy from prosperity to decline, and lost the best decade of economic development.

Both Alston Smith and Li Wanqing have witnessed these things. When they were in New York, they watched the familiar building being bought by arrogant footbath people, and then saw the building being bought back at a low price. Kicked pigu hard.

Today, the change of ownership of Rockefeller Center not only announced that the Rockefeller family has completely separated from the center, but also that his own son has become the new owner of this building. This is just like a dream!

Recalling what happened back then, Auston couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly, looked at his son with a frown, and asked with some concern: "Just like back then, under the background of economic downturn and industrial adjustment and transformation in the United States, Rockefeller The second change of ownership of the center makes people feel that the autumn wind is gradually picking up.

It also reflects the fact that US economic growth is decelerating. Selling Rockefeller Center would be a wise move when the economy slows down and you should rush to liquidate your stock and real estate assets, as prices may sooner or later plummet.

Are you taking over now, have they passed on the risk? "

"mom,

let go. . . "Andy ran away from Li Wanqing's clutches without a temper, rubbed his cheeks, looked at his mother who was smiling happily, the corners of his eyes twitched speechlessly, and then said to Dad Cheap: "They have this Meaning, however, I have already said that the financial turmoil will end in the first quarter of next year, after which the US economy will rebound and usher in a new period of growth.

Also, I am not at all worried that the building will fall into my hands, the vacancy rate of the central property is less than 1%, and the rent price is the same this year, and it has made a profit of 43.5 million US dollars.

Do you believe that as long as I want to make money, people from the Celestial Dynasty will rush to grab it if it is less than 2.5 billion US dollars! "

While Andy was talking, he thought that the people from the Celestial Dynasty who became rich would definitely not be much worse than the people from the foot basin back then. Not to mention buying the United States, it can really be said to be buying the whole world.

However, it will inevitably lead to all kinds of criticism and contradictory treatment under the envy, jealousy and hatred of countries all over the world, just like the foot basin people who got rich back then, while the people from the Celestial Dynasty who got rich will attack everywhere and occupy the whole world . . .

In fact, thinking about it, it's really interesting. When the United States was an upstart, it caused dislike in the European continent, all kinds of contempt and complaints, and became an unpopular person.

The upstarts in the 1980s received the same treatment as the upstarts in the United States. The key is that the people in the foot basins were too arrogant. They were not only disliked and despised all over the world, but they were also severely taught and rubbed on the ground. There is only half a breath left, to be honest. . .

"No, Rockefeller Center must not be allowed to fall into the hands of people from other countries!" Alston said forcefully, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Andy gave cheap father a straight look, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and then said: "I'm a businessman, I can buy low and sell high, why not sell it? I have nothing against the dollar!

Don't talk to me about feelings. When the transaction is completed, the first thing I do is to change my name, and it will be called Smith Tower from now on! "

"puff"

"Ahem..."

Li Wanqing directly covered her mouth with her hands and almost sprayed out the food she just ate. Oston was even choked, pointed at Andy, his eyes widened, and he coughed violently.

"Hehe, don't be surprised. I bought it and it belongs to me. I can modify it as I like! Especially such an iconic building, Rockefeller Center, hum, if you want to change it into Smith Center or a building, you should be able to swipe the whole screen The world, a chance to be on the headlines of the world for free, why don't I do it?

As for the feelings of some people, hehe, who cares about them! "

The corners of Andy's mouth turned up, showing a sneer. General Electric and the Rockefeller family added this building to this transaction. In addition to cashing out, they also have the idea of ​​passing on risks. Although this building is definitely worth 1.6 billion US dollars, it is now a real estate During the bursting of the bubble, they played this bundle of sales, and he was indeed forced to submit to NBCUniversal's determination to win.

It's just that, knowing the future economic trend, he seems to be at a disadvantage now. After next year, these bastards will definitely regret it. So, before that, Andy doesn't mind disgusting these old foxes who are fast entering the coffin. them.

Thinking of this, Andy took a deep breath through his nose, and said to himself with a sneer: "I am really, really looking forward to the center's builder, Old Rockefeller's son, David Rockefeller, the 85-year-old head of the Rockefeller family, knowing the news What kind of expression and mood will it be!"

"Ahem, Andy, this is not good. After all, Rockefeller Center has become the consensus of the world, and everyone is used to this name." Li Wanqing wiped her hands with a napkin in a somewhat dumbfounded manner, twitched the corners of her mouth, and persuaded with a strange expression.

Auston put down his glass, suppressed his cough, and stared at his bastard son who could vomit blood with sharp eyes, "This will cause strong opposition from the Rockefeller family..."

"Ha~ Don't think it's so complicated. For a consortium like Rockefeller, when the economy undergoes rapid transformation and drastic changes occur, increasing cash assets, reducing operating costs, and seeking longer-term business interests are what they value most. Absolutely Much more important than holding symbolism like some iconic building or something.

Since it already belongs to me, I can change it however I want, although it will make them unhappy, but since they have lost the Rockefeller Center, they are making trouble, which will only increase ridicule!

Look at it, the Rockefeller family will never stop it, but will only declare their sadness to the outside world, hehe, I just want to let them know that I, Andy Smith, is here! "

Andy's eyes widened suddenly, he straightened his body, and said every word with confidence and pride.
