My 1999

"Are there any other conditions attached?"

Xu Liang asked.

"No. A 25-year-old superstar who is in his prime, averaging 21.7 points, 5.4 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.73 steals per game, can definitely become the cornerstone of the Sonics.

It just so happens that they cleared up Ray Allen and Sharad Lewis this year. They have ample salary space and can also take the main position.

Arenas and his agent didn't have any objections either. "

"Very good. The second pick this year is Durant."

Rick Gordon's mind raced through all the players drafted this year.

"Kevin Durant at Texas?"

"That's him."

Xu Liang affirmed.

"Arenas is gone, let Wade play shooting guard and Durant play the 3 position."

"BOSS, give him the main force from the beginning?"

Xu Liang just wanted to agree, but he took it back when the words came to his lips.

If this were to happen, most people in the Warriors would probably reject him.

We have worked hard for so many years and are still substitutes and water fountain watchers. You, a little rookie, just stepped on our heads and became the main force.

How can that work?

"Give him a chance and if he shows enough ability, give him a starting position."

Rick Gordon felt relieved.

He is really afraid of being slapped on the head by the big boss.

Although the big boss has never been blind in the draft in recent years, it is difficult for him to believe that a rookie who has never played in the NBA can hold up the Warriors' No. 3 position.

After all, for so many years, only a few people, including Duncan and O'Neal, have been able to take the lead from the moment they came up.

"Are there any remaining draws you are optimistic about?"

"Marc Gasol, our original first-round pick this year."

Gasol is undoubtedly the top center in the NBA, with strong defense, top ball protection and rebounding, and he can also pass the ball.

When Yao Ming retires in a few years, it will be logical for him to take over his main position.

The figure of a big man quickly flashed through Gordon's mind.

I also remembered the other party’s information.

A European big man is generally a second-round pick, so using him with a first-round pick is a sure thing.

"That's it. You and Coach Tom can figure out the rest of the draws."

Gordon pouted, he only had a second-round pick left, what other good stuff could there be?

"Okay, BOSS."

"By the way, BOSS, the new arena has been completed. Should we invite some celebrities to hold an inauguration ceremony?"

"What's the budget?"

"A million dollars?" Gordon asked tentatively.

"How much money is in the company account?"

"$375 million."

There was excitement in Gordon's voice.

Since the big boss repaid the nearly US$900 million loan for the team's new arena construction, the team's profits have basically remained unchanged for more than two seasons.

"Okay, I agree. Of the money in the account, 5 million will be left as daily operating capital. For the remaining 370 million US dollars, you can open an investment account in Hanhua and transfer the money into it."

Gordon agreed immediately.

Big BOSS's investment ability is well-known around the world, and it provides opportunities that others cannot ask for.

After a few more explanations, Xu Liang hung up the phone.

Continue to read the following emails, most of them just to have a good idea of ​​what they are.

A small number of people will write a letter with their own opinions.

Occasionally I will call to ask about the situation.

It took more than two hours to process.

He stretched out, looked at the bright sunshine outside, opened the door and walked out.

Although it is midsummer, the rockery spring pool and lush vegetation in the yard reduce the heat a bit.

There is something interesting about walking along the path under the shade of trees.

"Mr. Xu."

Zhang Hongwei walked over quickly.

"What's up?"

"The person you assigned has arrived."

Xu Liang was stunned for a moment, "Who?"

"That's the veteran you told me about a few days ago."

As soon as he reminded him, Xu Liang suddenly realized.

Last time we had dinner at my father-in-law's house, his brother-in-law gave him a retired soldier and asked him to arrange a job.

When he came back, he handed the matter over to Zhang Hongwei.

He is responsible for Red Shield security and is his top general.

Huo Gang, his best friend since childhood, took over the management of his bodyguard team and managed the security of all his properties, confidante, parents and relatives around the world.

Finally, there are Zhou Kai, who is in charge of Hei Wuchang (hacker), and Liang Hong, who is in charge of Bai Wuchang (mercenary).

The four of them control all the violent institutions that Xu Liang spent eight years building.

"Where is he now?"

"It's in the front yard security department."

"Let's go and have a look."

Xu Liang was quite interested in this "Wu Liuyi"-style retired soldier.

The group walked towards the front yard.

The Yindianqiao courtyard where he lives now is composed of four three-entry courtyards and one five-entry courtyard.

The overall area is 11,000 square meters.

In Sijiucheng, apart from the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace and other royal gardens, as well as several princes' mansions, he is the largest.

Fan Xiaopang, Tong Yaya and Tang Yan live here.

As for Jiang Xiaoyang, she occasionally lives in No. 5, the largest courtyard in the middle, but most of the time she lives in Guanfang Hutong, Hainan, Shicha.

That was the first courtyard house Xu Liang bought. Xu Yongpei and Wang Lingxiang spent most of their time here when they were in the capital.

As Xu Liangming's wife, there is no doubt that this is the main palace seat.

No matter what, I won't give it to anyone else.

We arrived at the security department that had been converted into an inverted building.

Xu Liang soon saw a man wearing a gray T-shirt and black shorts. Although he was dressed in ordinary clothes, he stood straight.

A young man with a square face and a scar of an inch on the left corner of his eye.

Xu Liang subconsciously stopped.

He somewhat understood why his brother-in-law was willing to lower his face to beg him.

Some people, no matter how ordinary they are dressed, even if they are buried in the ground, can still have a unique temperament.

The man in front of him was like a piece of steel, a wall. He felt trust in his eyes.

All the tasks assigned to him were completed.

The visitor also saw them.

The corners of his mouth curled up.

He wanted to show a smile that he thought was friendly, but he was not very good at it. The forced smile looked a bit forced.

Xu Liang took two steps forward and stretched out his right hand to the other party.

"You must be Qiu Feng, right? Captain Jiang praised you to the utmost in front of me."

Qiu Feng subconsciously raised his hand to salute, but halfway through, he came to his senses and quickly shook the right hand that Xu Liang extended.

"Hello, I'm Qiu Feng, an ordinary veteran with a lame leg, not as good as the captain said."

The cold and hard words were indeed a military style.

Xu Liang smiled, "Come in and sit down."

Invited him to the reception room next door.

After both parties sat down.

Xu Liang made a cup of tea and handed it over.

Qiu Feng quickly took it and said "thank you".

He couldn't help but look at the man in front of him, who was several times stronger than himself.

Before coming, the captain called him and told him Xu Liang's identity, asking him not to think too much and to do a good job when he went.

He came with guilt.

The first time he saw a real super rich man, he was more curious than nervous.

Too strong.

Even stronger than the strongest special forces member in their team.

As a veteran who has served for many years, he knows very well what real strength and fake strength in the gym look like. The man in front of him is obviously the former.

Sitting forward, he felt a surge of pressure in his heart unconsciously.

For a moment, he felt quite happy to meet a fellow soldier, and the feeling of rejection was also reduced by half.

Reading the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_Bar published this novel for the first time.

"Did your captain Jiang tell you what you are here for?"

"Yes, security."

"It is indeed security, but it is not accurate.

I founded a security company very early. After six or seven years of development, it has become the largest security group in China with global business.

We have multiple bases around the world.

There are five in China, Qingzhou, Chang'an, Modu, Rongcheng, and Wuchang.

Thousands of people are trained every year at each base.

And with the continuous development of the domestic economy, more and more companies need security personnel. Hongdun Security is already the largest professional security company in the country.

So we need a large number of experienced, capable, and responsible instructors.

Especially talents like Mr. Qiu, who are exactly what we need."

A world-class boss said this to him, and Qiu Feng, who was valued, was also very moved.

"Mr. Xu, I am a rough man and I am not very good at speaking. As long as you trust me, I will do my best."

"Okay, that's what you said." Turning his head, "Lao Zhang, you personally arrange Qiu Feng's work, not only for him, but also for his family."

Zhang Hongwei nodded.

After another explanation, he let a bodyguard take Qiu Feng away.

After watching him go away.

"What do you think of him?"

Xu Liang suddenly asked.

Zhang Hongwei was stunned for a moment, vaguely understanding what the big boss meant.

"In the army, he is a top soldier; without the military uniform, he is a loyal and trustworthy man."

Xu Liang nodded slightly, "Train him well, I have a lot of use for him."

"Yes."

An instructor who can train ordinary paramilitary personnel is everywhere.

But a top soldier with principles and ability is a scarce talent.

As long as he is trained and placed in the security department of his company, he will not worry about being stolen by others or having an insider.

These days, there are too few people who are principled and loyal.

I had lunch at noon and took a nap. I planned to go to Hongmeng to take a look.

Unexpectedly, Lou Wei called again.

"Mr. Xu, I didn't bother you, did I?"

"Haha, as long as Mr. Lou brings good news, it's not bothering you."

Lou Wei smiled and said, "I do bring good news."

"After this period of research and due diligence, the CIC board of directors decided to:

Inject $2 billion to jointly establish an S fund with Hanhua;

Inject $2 billion into Hanhua Real Estate Opportunity Fund.

Inject $2.5 billion into Hanhua to establish a private credit fund.

A total of $6.5 billion, accounting for 3.07% of CIC's $200 billion asset management scale, is the largest amount of money we have invested so far.

Mr. Xu, we at CIC trust you very much.

We are just waiting for you to give us good news."

Hearing this long list of numbers, Xu Liang was also a little happy.

The actual investment amount is $500 million more than the previous verbal discussion.

The most important thing is that the big boss above has finally been pulled into his own carriage.

"Mr. Lou, don't worry, our Hanhua will do its best to ensure the preservation and appreciation of the country's foreign exchange!"

Lou Wei smiled and said, "Mr. Xu's investment ability is recognized worldwide. We are very relieved to cooperate with Hanhua.

At the same time, we also hope that Mr. Xu will not have too much pressure and invest as he should.

We will not interfere with Mr. Xu and Hanhua's work because of a temporary loss."

"I understand. Thank you for the love and support of all the leaders of the CIC Board of Directors."

Xu Liang did not mention specific names, but he knew that there was one seat on the CIC Board of Directors for each of the three provinces and six ministries, all of which were bigwigs.

"Put aside the real estate and private credit funds, I want to talk to you about this S fund. I heard that it can only buy shares of Facebook, Youku, and Hynix?"

"Yes.

However, after this period of development, the valuations of several companies have increased a lot.

Although $2 billion can get a 10% share, the shares that can be held have been reduced."

Lou Wei responded. He was not worried about this.

But he felt that Facebook, Youku (YouTube) and other companies were either not profitable or heavily in debt, and investing in them was very risky.

However, Blackstone and the others have decided to invest $3 billion, and the four companies here have indirectly invested a total of $2 billion, which is not a large amount, and the risk is relatively dispersed.

Their internal professional team has also done an assessment, and several companies, except Youku, should be close to full profitability.

Hynix has developed well in the past two years.

The $16 billion debt has also been reduced by one-third.

Adding the company's cash assets and investment assets, Hynix's net debt is less than 10 billion.

Lou Wei said: "That's it, I'll have someone contact you to formally sign the agreement and pay the money!"

After thanking Xu Liang, he hung up the phone.

Throwing the phone on the table, he leaned back in his chair, feeling very happy.

Pulling CIC, it has its endorsement.

Whether it is abroad or at home, anyone who wants to move Hanhua Phoenix Fund must weigh whether they are qualified.

And the $2 billion real estate opportunity fund.

Will make Hanhua a big player in the domestic real estate investment field.

Seizing the opportunity of the subprime mortgage crisis to hit the domestic real estate market and fall into a low tide, you can definitely make a lot of money.

The $2.5 billion private credit fund, also known as private debt financing, has a wide range of ways to play.

First, the priority debt fund directly lends to enterprises to obtain secured/pledged priority debt, which is characterized by safety, stability and low returns.

Second, the mezzanine fund, also known as the MBO fund in China, is between equity investment and debt investment, filling the acquisition funding gap that is still insufficient after considering equity funds and ordinary debt funds.

Leveraged buyouts generally involve the acquisition initiator taking out 10% of the funds and the syndicated loan taking 50%-60% of the funds. This part of the funds is secured by the company's assets and belongs to priority debt.

The remaining 30%-40% of the funds are composed of mezzanine funds and are not secured.

The loan repayment mainly depends on the cash flow generated by the company's operations. The repayment order is after the bank's priority debt, which belongs to subordinated debt, and has the same function as the notorious junk bonds.

This type of loan is characterized by a long term, which can be up to 5-7 years, and the repayment method can be negotiated, which is more flexible than banks, but the risk is relatively high and the return is relatively high.

In addition to subordinated bonds, convertible bonds and convertible preferred stocks are also investment tools of mezzanine funds.

Third, distressed debt funds/bad credit investments specialize in purchasing "degraded" bonds of companies that are in trouble due to economic turmoil and various reasons.

Through restructuring, the company can resume normal operations, and the value of bond assets will increase and make profits. The characteristics are high uncertainty and very high risks, but the profits are also the most considerable.

For example, Oak Capital specializes in this area, and its reputation in the financial field is no weaker than Blackstone and KKR.

It is the world's largest distressed debt investor and one of the world's largest credit investors.

After the subprime mortgage crisis began, the biggest investment opportunity was "bad credit".

He has prepared enough funds to go in and buy at the bottom.
