Lisco's American Life

With Lubo's agreement, Osman had completely forgotten the loss he had just suffered in the negotiation. Instead, his face turned red, he was silent in the past glory of his company, and finally left with satisfaction.

After watching Osman completely disappear into the cafe, Lu Bo smiled disdainfully. Although his company is currently not that big compared to Random House, he believes that through the efforts of himself and Lisko,

Sooner or later, it will surpass them, and if Random House is run by idiots like Osman, it will not be far from bankruptcy sooner or later.

Lubo motioned to the waiter next to him to get him another cup of coffee, then took out his cell phone and explained the content of the negotiation to Lisko.

This is also the reason why he has always been trusted by Lisko. Even if he makes a decision on Lisko's behalf, he will inform Lisko immediately and then seek Lisko's opinion. If he disagrees, he will have to pay liquidated damages.

Rubeau would also dismiss previous negotiations.

"Okay, I understand. No problem. I've already done it anyway. It doesn't matter if I do a little more."

Lisko sat in his study, listened to Lu Bo's words, and replied directly.

One Ellen show can make you famous. Your previous state has been broken. Now it won't be a big deal if you have a few more autograph sessions.

As for the content of the deal between Lubo and Osman, Lisko also expressed his understanding. Being able to use this information gap to win some resources from Random House was considered worthwhile.

"By the way, you said you were going to acquire a bookstore chain some time ago. How is the progress now?"

Lisko asked Lubo on the other side of the phone.

Of course, Lu Bo had already told Lisko about the bookstore acquisition. After all, Lisko was the majority shareholder of the cultural company, and of course he had the right to know where the company's funds were going.

"Three companies have been selected so far. The specific one to acquire still needs to be negotiated."

Lu Bo truthfully reported the progress. Affected by the rapid development of the Internet, physical book sales channels in traditional industries have also declined. Young people prefer online shopping to buy the books they need. Amazon is also riding the wave at this time, so

It has become much easier to acquire chain bookstores that were originally difficult to acquire despite continuous operating losses.

"What's the problem now?"

Lisko asked curiously.

"The main issue is the price. The price the other party wants is very suitable, but our negotiation department believes that there is room for the price to drop, and the buyer has no competitors except us."

"Okay, are there enough funds on the company's books?"

"Our capital chain can fully support this acquisition."

After talking to Lu Bo, Lisko hung up the phone. His mood was not affected by the information at all. For him at the moment, these things are trivial. Lu Bo's abilities are great and he is not needed at all.

Spending too much thought, delegating power in a timely manner is also a healthy company development strategy.

Now he is more focused on the document in front of him, which contains the investment plan sent by the investment company Chandler. Whether this plan is passed or not has become the most important thing for Lisko at the moment.

The beginning of this plan reads "A Centenary Family Heritage Forest Value Preservation Plan."

There are a lot of data listed above, which is why Liske hesitated.

Centenary families are common in many parts of Europe. Perhaps the political power of these families has gradually become lower as time goes by, or even completely disappears. However, their family wealth and funds have not decreased. On the contrary, they have continued to grow.

There has been some growth.

The reason why they can maintain this situation is because they have adopted an investment method that allows their family to continue to pass on the family and the funds to maintain their value.

This plan is the forest value preservation plan.

Chandler has actually been hesitating whether to submit this plan because the contents of this plan are completely different from the current direction of Lee Investment Company. As a conservative general manager of an investment company, he submitted such a plan to his

Boss, you are taking a bit of a risk.

But thinking that Lisko had always been tolerant towards him and that he was wholeheartedly committed to the development of the company, he gritted his teeth and sent the plan via email, and called Lisko to tell him that he must watch it.

Lisko read the entire plan and understood something about it.

Those centuries-old families took out part of the family's funds many years ago, say one billion U.S. dollars, and then used the funds to establish a foundation. Through the leverage of the bank, it was enlarged five times, and the funds became five billion.

US dollars.

Spend 5 billion US dollars to buy all the country's large forests.

What in this world will never change? This is a criterion for the century-old family to allocate global assets, because they discovered that what in this world will never change? After one hundred and two hundred years, this thing can still maintain its value or even

Appreciation?

After many selections, they selected Lin Mu. Lin Mu has two attributes. First, it continues to grow.

Generally, a good forest will double its tonnage after ten or twenty years of growth. In other words, if the wood is calculated by weight, its return on investment is 5%-6%, and in this case

During the process, the bank's cost is 1%-2%.

Spend all 5 billion US dollars to buy forest trees, and then cut down 1/50 every year.

Use the money sold to repay the bank's interest, which increases the leverage five times, and the original income will also increase five times, and the income will be between 20% and 30%.

The bank's cost is 1%-2%.

Of course, there will be instability in the process, such as fire.

For forest trees, fire is the most unstable factor. A slight fire will change the originally stable situation.

For this situation, the family also has corresponding measures, such as buying insurance from an insurance company with 5% of the predetermined income. Once a fire occurs, the loss in this area will be compensated by the insurance company.

Since fire is a small probability event, insurance companies are certainly willing to insure it.

By operating in this way, the family can continue to cut down trees. After the trees are cut down, the family funds will be divided among the family members.

This can ensure that family members can always have income and will not be impoverished.

If business talents emerge in the younger generation, they will rely on this portion of the share to rebuild their business and restore prosperity to the family.

In this world, there are many things with uncertain factors. For example, the Internet company Liske invested in. He can only guarantee that his generation will make a lot of money from this investment. After decades, no one can guarantee that the investment will make a lot of money.

The company is still standing, so the family's investment can only be conservative, ensuring that even after the passage of time, this thing will still be valuable.
