Chapter 186 Soros

"This is Edson."

Catherine picked up the phone.

"Miss Edson, there is a gentleman who wants to see you. He said he was introduced by Mr. Edson."

Dad invited someone over so quickly?

"Well, let him come to my office."

Catherine lowered her feet from the table.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Following Catherine's voice, a young man walked in.

"Are you the financial expert recommended by my father?"

Catherine looked at each other with interest.

"Yes, Miss Edson, my name is George Soros."

When Catherine heard this, she almost fell off her chair. Fortunately, after being baptized by Bruce Lee and other stars, Catherine was much calmer.

"Mr. Soros, you...have been working at Ark Group?"

Catherine found it a little strange, or a little ridiculous.

"No, I work for Ihold Brechild. But actually, I'm about to quit my current job. But I don't want to join another company."

"You mean...let me invest in you?" Catherine understood. Soros was clearly preparing to open a company of his own.

In fact, Soros did this in history. He started planning in 1967, and then established his own company in the 1970s, which later became the famous Quantum Fund.

"Yes, in fact, that's why I'm here too."

"Oh? Then what benefits does it bring to me personally if I invest in you?"

This feeling is great, as if I am the examiner and Soros is the candidate answering the test. In fact, Catherine would find it more interesting if she could see Soros scratching his head.

But Soros was obviously calm and prepared.

"First of all, I am a professional financial investor with rich experience. Secondly, I can sign a default contract and I can guarantee that ark will gain more than 50%. Apart from me, I believe there is no other company

To be like me."

"Are you so confident?" Catherine looked at Soros, who actually threatened that the return rate would exceed 50%.

"I'm Jewish, too," Soros responded.

George Soros's real name was György Schwartz, but after World War I, people in every region of the world were hostile to Jews, so Soros's mother changed their family's name to General

European family.

Catherine looked at Soros, who had a calm and calm expression on his face.

"Okay, no problem. I can choose to inject capital into your company, but I need to hold more than 50% of your company's equity."

"Venture capital?" Soros suddenly thought of this emerging industry that has been very popular recently.

"No, it's a long-term holding." Catherine made no secret of it.

At this time, Soros was a little shocked.

"I don't require a 50% return rate. It's even fine if I hand over all the profits to your company."

Catherine released the big bait.

For a rebellious person like Soros, it is obviously unrealistic to try to win him over. He is not as sincere about his career as Sanders.

He is a typical Jew.

"The maximum equity is 40%. It is impossible for me to hand over absolute control." Soros did not give in.

"51%, but I can authorize the power to you for 50 years. At the same time, next year, I will spend 200 million US dollars to let you play in the oil market."

Are you kidding? Even if it is 1% of the equity, it may be hundreds of millions of funds.

How could Catherine give in?

"Maybe... I still need to think about it." Soros obviously couldn't make a decision.

In fact, there was another person who started a company with him in history, Rogers. It seems that Soros still needs to talk to the other person.

"This is my business card. With it, you can come directly to my office."

Catherine handed her business card to Soros.

"I look forward to our next meeting with you, Mr. Soros."

Catherine smiled at the other party.

The struggle with IBM is indeed very important, but if there is Soros, IBM will obviously not be that conspicuous. The United States is transforming into a financial empire, and the status of the manufacturing industry is declining day by day, coupled with the continuous strikes and demands of domestic manufacturing unions

Improving wages has allowed capitalists to speed up the relocation of industries. In the future, the United States will definitely be dominated by the financial industry, and Soros is a very good financial thug.

After Soros left, Catherine began to count the assets of her company. If she mortgaged the company and added in profits, she would be able to get about 200 million to 300 million. If she gave 200 million to Soros, she would

There are about ten million US dollars left to maintain the capital chain, which is enough.

After sending Soros away, the phone rang again, and Catherine picked up the phone.

"Miss Edson, a Mr. Carter is calling from Hong Kong."

"Well, take it from me."

"OK."

The receptionist quickly answered the call.

"Ms. Edson, the matter has been settled. Mr. Cha (Char Liangyong) has agreed to license the adaptation rights to DreamWorks."

The other party was obviously very excited.

"But Mr. Cha hopes to see the adapted script..."

"Well, okay... By the way, how is Yamaguchi Momoe doing lately?"

"I have helped them move to their new home. They are living a good life now. Oh, by the way, they even sent you a letter a few days ago. It will arrive in a few days."

"Um."

After hanging up the phone, Catherine remembered her unfinished script for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

"Yang Guo's arm..."

Catherine didn't know why she was always stuck in this place...

Catherine finally decided to go all out. The worst she could do was prepare two versions, one with arms and one without arms...

The version with the arm cut off can just follow the original work. The version without the arm cut off will have to be significantly modified in the subsequent plot. This version relies on Catherine's own handwriting.

Fortunately, after experiencing "Harry Potter", Catherine has finally mastered it. Her writing style should be above average, so she will have no problem writing something.

Besides, this is just a script anyway.

In the next few days, Catherine worked on the plot until Soros came over again.

"Have you thought about it?" Catherine asked first.

"Yes, 49% of the shares. At the same time, we hope that Ark can bear the basic operating expenses of our entire fund in the first few years."

Catherine shook her head: "The capital injection I'm talking about is my personal investment, not Ark Group's. In addition, at least 50% of the shares."

In fact, Catherine said that there is no difference at all, because 100% of Ark's equity is in Catherine's own hands.

However, it is not convenient for Catherine to let Soros's fund enter Ark.

Because the profits of Ark's subsidiaries are summarized here and then processed as a whole.

Catherine has always believed that good steel is used on the cutting edge, which is most beneficial to the development of the company, and Soros's company has always been an outsider.

"Okay, but I hope that you can sign a contract that for at least 15 years, you cannot increase your stake in our company by any means."

It seems Soros is still worried...

"No problem, and I can fully afford all the funds the company needs for the first three years... By the way, has the company's name been decided?" Catherine asked again.

"Actually...not yet."

"How about calling it Quantum Fund?" Catherine said.

Soros's fund was originally called Soros Fund. In the late 1970s, he changed the name of the company.

"Quantum Fund?"

"Heisenberg's Uncertainty Law of Quantum Mechanics. The market is always in a state of uncertainty, always fluctuating. Only by betting on uncertainty can you make money. That's it."

Catherine was talking nonsense. In fact, she only knew about the famous Quantum Fund in the future, but did not know its origin.

In fact, Quantum Fund originally evolved from Double Eagle Fund. Double Eagle Fund was founded by Soros and Jim Rogers in 1969 with a capital of US$4 million; it was renamed Soros Fund in 1973 with a capital of approximately 12 million.

U.S. dollars; in 1979, Soros changed the company's name to Quantum Corporation.

Historically, the Quantum Fund was established in New York, and its investors were all non-U.S. foreign investors, thereby avoiding the supervision of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

But for Catherine, what she needs is a financial thug, and most of her attack targets are outside the United States, so she doesn't need to worry so much.

"How sure are you about oil speculation?" Catherine asked.

"If the income is around 50%, I am 70% sure. If the income exceeds 100%, I am 40% sure." Soros answered Catherine's question confidently.

"I will hand over 200 million funds to you next year to impact the oil market. If the rate of return is above 50%, I will hand you 40% of the income as the company's capital. If the rate of return exceeds 100%,

I will give you 70% of the profit."

Catherine said to Soros.

Next, the two went on to discuss the specific situation of the company, and by the time everything was over, the day had passed.

"call……"

After working for so long, Catherine felt a little exhausted. After Soros left, Catherine slumped down on the chair.

"Elsa, water..." Catherine lay weakly, and after Thoros left, Elsa came in.

"Kate, you are working too hard."

Catherine took a sip of water.

"There is no way, there are too many things to do."

It was fine in the past, but now, many things have to be done by herself, so Catherine is always exhausted.

"But it's better now."

Catherine smiled.

"At least, the busy things are over..." Catherine took a sip of water, "Maybe... how about going on a vacation? For example, Australia, which we haven't been to last time?"
