Lisko’s American Life

Under Lu Bo's agreement, Osman had completely forgotten the loss he had just suffered in the negotiation. Instead, his face was flushed, and he was silent in the past glory of his company, and finally left with satisfaction.

After watching Ottoman completely disappear in the cafe, Lu Bo smiled disdainfully. Although his company is not that big compared to Random House at present, he believes that through the efforts of himself and Lisko, Sooner or later, they will surpass them, and if Random House is run by an idiot like Osman, sooner or later it will not be far from closing down.

Lu Bo signaled the waiter next to him to add another cup of coffee, then took out his mobile phone and explained to Lisko the content of the negotiation just now.

This is also the reason why he has always been trusted by Lisko. Even if he made a decision instead of Lisko, he would inform Lisko immediately, and then seek Lisko’s opinion. If he disagrees, he will pay liquidated damages. Rubaud would also dismiss previous negotiations.

"Okay, I see. No problem, I've already done it anyway, and it doesn't matter if I do more."

Sitting in his study, Lisko replied directly after listening to Lu Bo's words.

One Ellen show can make him famous, and his previous state has already been broken, and now a few more signings will not be a big problem.

As for the content of the transaction between Rube and Osman, Lisko also expressed his understanding. It is worth the money to win some resources from Random House by relying on this kind of information gap.

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

Lisko asked Lu Bo on the other side of the phone.

Of course, Lu Bo had greeted Lisko about the acquisition of the bookstore. After all, Lisko was the major shareholder of the cultural company. Of course, he had the right to know the whereabouts of the company's funds.

"Three companies have been selected so far, and we need to negotiate which one to acquire."

Lu Bo truthfully reported the progress. Affected by the rapid development of the Internet, the sales channels of physical books in traditional industries have also declined. Young people prefer to buy the books they need in the form of online shopping. Amazon is also riding the wind at this time, so Chain bookstores, which were originally difficult to acquire, have become much easier in the case of continuous losses in operation.

"What's the problem now?"

Lisko asked curiously.

"The main issue is the price. The price asked by the other party is very suitable, but our negotiating department believes that the price can be lowered, and the buyer has no competitors except us."

"Well, is there enough money in the company's accounts?"

"Our capital chain can fully support this acquisition."

After talking with Lu Bo, Lisko hung up the phone, and his emotions were not affected by the information just now. For him, these things are trivial at present. Lu Bo's ability is very good, and he does not need to spend too much thought at all. Timely decentralization 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 to pass this plan has become the most important thing for Lisko at present.

At the beginning of this plan, it says "Century Family Inheritance Forest Value Preservation Plan."

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

Hundred-year-old families are very common in many places in Europe. Perhaps the political power of these families has gradually become lower as time goes by, or even completely disappeared. However, their family wealth and funds have not decreased. has grown.

The reason why this situation can be maintained is because they have adopted an investment method, so that their family can be passed on forever, and the value of the funds can always be preserved.

This plan is the forest value preservation plan.

In fact, Chandler has been hesitating whether to submit this plan, because the content of this plan is completely different from the current direction of Li's investment company. As a conservative general manager of an investment company, he submitted such a plan to his own Boss, it's a little risky.

But thinking that Lisko had always been tolerant towards him, and that he was wholeheartedly for the development of the company, he gritted his teeth and sent the plan by email, and told Lisko by phone that he must watch it.

Lisko read the entire plan and understood the plan.

Those century-old families took out part of the family’s funds many years ago, for example, one billion US dollars, and then used the funds to set up a foundation. Through the leverage of the bank, the funds were enlarged five times, and the funds became five billion. dollars.

Use 5 billion US dollars to buy all the large forests in the country.

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

After a lot of selection, they chose Linshu, which has two attributes. First, he is growing continuously.

Generally, a good forest will double its tonnage after ten or twenty years of growth. That is to say, if the wood is calculated by weight, its return on investment is 5%-6%. In the process, the cost of the bank is between 1% and 2%.

Buy all five billion US dollars into forests, and then cut down 1/50 of them every year.

Use this part of the selling money to repay the interest of the bank, and increase the leverage by five times, and the original income will also increase by five times, and the income will be 20%-30%.

The bank's cost is between 1% and 2%.

Of course, there will be instability in the middle, 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 the insurance company from 5% of the established income. In the event of a fire, the loss in this regard will be compensated by the insurance company.

However, fire is a small probability event, and insurance companies are of course willing to insure it.

In this way, the family can continue to pass on, and the trees will be cut down continuously. After the trees are cut down, the family funds will be distributed to the members of the family.

This can ensure that family members can always have income, and there will be no poverty.

And if there are commercial talents in the younger generations, they will also rely on this part of the share to rebuild their business and restore the prosperity of the family.

In this world, there are many uncertain factors. For example, the Internet company that Lisko invested in, he can only guarantee that the investment of his generation will make a lot of money. After decades, no one can guarantee that Since the company is still standing, the family's investment can only be turned to those who are conservative, making sure that even after the passage of time, it can still guarantee that this thing is still very valuable.
