My Age of Investment

“This is my seventh year on Wall Street, and it is also the ninth year since Envision Capital was established.

From a penniless poor boy from China to becoming the "King of Hedge Funds" and "Wall Street Titans" on the cover of Financial Weekly, there were many emotions along the way...

Here, first of all, I would like to thank all the investors for their long-term support and trust.

It is the checks you write out at the back that enable Vision Capital to charge forward again and again.

During the most difficult years from 2006 to 2007, the entire industry was weeping and bleeding, except for those hedge funds that were determined to be long.

I don't even dare to publish monthly or quarterly reports, because every time I disclose it, it means that your assets have shrunk by several to more than ten percentage points based on the previous ones.

I'm sorry that for more than a year, I have brought you all kinds of bad news.

If it were other investors, they might have chosen to redeem the fund in frustration.

But you didn't!

Your wisdom and full trust in your partners have won you returns that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve, and have also successfully helped Envision Capital move to a higher development ladder.

This is a true win-win situation and the best embodiment of Vision Capital’s corporate philosophy of “sincerity, trust, and common development.”

This year, after a period of rest, all our employees have adjusted their bodies and minds and are ready to welcome the new flagship fund to set sail again.

Please believe that in the next seven or nine years, Vision Capital will definitely be able to win a more beautiful income dividend for our closest and most trusted partners.

Now, let us raise a toast together and wish each other lasting friendship and increasing profits. "

In a manor in Long Island, New York, Xia Jingxing, in a suit and tie, held a wine glass high. Under the background light, his whole person seemed to be glowing, shining extremely.

The well-dressed men and women who formed a semicircle all around also raised their glasses in greeting and responded with smiles and applause to the common God of Wealth.

An old man with blond hair stood in the crowd, looking very eye-catching.

Yes, old Friedrich also came to the banquet today, but not as a hero behind the scenes, but as an LP to attend the celebration banquet for Vision Capital to restart its fund-raising work.

Ivanka, wearing a sparkling burgundy evening gown, accompanied her father and spoke to him in a low voice.

"Our family has only invested 300 million US dollars in fund subscription shares. Is it a little less? I can talk to Darren and ask him to give us more fund subscription shares."

Friedrich shook his head slightly, and then lowered his voice and said: "It's not that I don't want to subscribe for more fund shares, but the family's funds are really hard to circulate.

Darence gave me such a big gift that it almost overwhelmed me. "

As he spoke, Friedrich unconsciously showed his signature smile, looking at Xia Jingxing who was chatting cordially with other guests with playful eyes, and said: "This guy is a character! Originally, I thought he could only play tricks. He used some small tricks to get a little advantage and reconciled with the old money in New York.

I didn't expect him... to be so courageous! "

After speaking, Friedrich looked around carefully and felt relieved after making sure that what he just said was not heard by anyone.

If Xia Jingxing was the mastermind in the relevant incidents, then he was an accomplice and he offended many people.

But compared to the huge profits gained, offending so many people was nothing. He had already seen that the old moneymen who regarded him as a nouveau riche were unhappy.

Ivanka didn't know much about the inside story and wanted to ask her father what he meant by "courage", but soon Xia Jingxing strode towards her holding a wine glass, interrupting the conversation between father and daughter.

"Mr. Friedrich, are you satisfied with the gift I gave you?"

Friedrich laughed, hugged Xia Jingxing affectionately, and then half-covered his mouth and whispered in the latter's ear: "Very satisfied! What I appreciate most is a great young man like you who does things cheerfully!"

However, I have to ask you again about the loan.

You know, I don't have that much cash on hand at the moment.

And you asked for cash transaction, so...hehehe~"

Xia Jingxing glanced at Friedrich in surprise, which made the latter feel a little embarrassed.

How exaggerated could something that would even make Friedrich feel embarrassed be?

That is indeed an exaggeration. According to Friedrich's idea, the equity of Vision Home Rental Company must not only be sold to the Friedrich Group at a low price, but also provide it with a large acquisition loan.

It's like borrowing Xia Jingxing's money to buy equity in the company under Xia Jingxing's name, and asking for a discount at the same time!

Why is your face so big?

Xia Jingxing was just about to speak when he felt his hand being gently held by a pair of catkins. He turned his face and found Ivanka looking at him affectionately with her big eyes open.

You don't need to think about it to know that the father and daughter have begun to cooperate again.

"Mr. Friedrich, I have a small suggestion here. I wonder if you are interested in hearing it."

"you say."

Xia Jingxing coughed lightly, then looked around and said, "I remember you said before that you would gather a group of friends who are good friends with you and share common values ​​and beliefs to form a new company to acquire Vision Homes. Why are you doing the acquisition alone now? What happened? "

Friedrich shrugged and said helplessly: "We had already negotiated, but they suddenly changed their minds."

"Why?"

“They felt that Vision Homes’ offer was too high, and there was great uncertainty in collecting rent to cover the cost.

It’s not like you don’t know the financial market in the United States. Maybe it will explode again in a few years. "

Xia Jingxing smiled silently and said no more.

He felt that Frederick was playing tricks on him. It was obvious that one person could not swallow such a huge asset alone, so he had to swallow it hard.

What is this called? It's called having no ambition and just being greedy for small gains.

In fact, Friedrich is such a person in the shopping mall. It is very interesting and he vividly interprets the image of capriciousness.

"I have something else to do..."

Seeing that Xia Jingxing was about to find an excuse to run away, Friedrich quickly gave his daughter a look, and at the same time defended himself: "Darren, I'm really in some trouble now."

"Since you are in trouble, why don't you spend 300 million US dollars to subscribe for my new fund? Shouldn't it all be poured into the acquisition account?"

This sentence seemed to have touched some sensitive nerve of Friedrich. The old man was shocked and shook his head repeatedly: "That won't work. We must diversify investment risks. I don't want to experience the feeling of bankruptcy again."

Xia Jingxing was completely speechless and said angrily: "Then according to your operation, how low will the leverage ratio of Vision Home be?

If house prices fall and the company's assets depreciate along with it, your equity may be disposed of by creditors at any time. In the end, it will be all in vain. "

"Is that why I asked you for a loan?"

Friedrich plausibly said: "I don't trust the integrity of the vulture funds and banks outside. I only trust your Chinese Bank and Vision Capital Credit Fund. After all, we are a family!"

After saying that, the old man glanced at his daughter and Xia Jingxing with his dirty eyes. The meaning couldn't be clearer, you are my recognized son-in-law.

Then, under the repeated glances from Frederic, Ivanka finally sent an assist: "Darren, I also have a share of the inheritance rights of the Frederic Group. Helping my father is equivalent to helping me, so you can Help us."

Xia Jingxing looked at Ivanka who was holding her arm tightly and hitting others with the ball, and then at Friedrich whose eyes were full of expectation, and finally sighed helplessly, as if something had happened. He said with great determination: "I can help you!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the father and daughter were so wonderful that they almost jumped up on the spot with joy.

However, Xia Jingxing's next words made the two of them calm down quickly.

"I want to make a condition, but not for myself, but for your own good.

Eating alone is always the most resentful thing, not to mention that the group faced by rental companies is the majority of young people, who know best how to build momentum for themselves in public opinion. "

Xia Jingxing paused, glanced at Ivanka, and said, "You should have a deep understanding."

Ivanka lowered her head and stopped talking for a while, and her face became heavy.

After a while, she suddenly raised her head and said to Friedrich solemnly: "Dad, I think you should listen to Darren and don't think about one person holding too much equity in the company. This is never a good thing."

Friedrich glanced at his daughter suspiciously, then looked at Xia Jingxing. He couldn't turn his elbows outward to play an oboe with Dai Lun, right?

But he soon changed his mind and thought, Xia Jingxing wouldn't gain anything by doing this. Is it worth doing this?

"As long as there are suitable candidates for cooperation, in principle, I have no objection to attracting more people to enter the venue together."

Friedrich nodded, agreeing with Xia Jingxing's suggestion.

Xia Jingxing didn't say anything more. After all, he seemed to just give Friedrich a friendly reminder for Ivanka's sake.

As for other plots?

There are some, but not many. I just don’t want to see Friedrich completely controlling Vision Homes.

Because he had a hunch that once Friedrich took control of Vision Homes, based on his personality, he would definitely run the company as his own private property.

The advantage of this is that Friedrich will do his best to help the company develop, but the disadvantage is that he is too dedicated, causing other shareholders to be squeezed out eventually.

Xia Jingxing himself didn't think much of Vision Homes. What he really valued was the entire American real estate industry.

Vision Capital has real estate investment funds and credit funds. Both types of funds need a shell to absorb the development dividends of the real estate industry.

Just like U.S. dollar funds like to lend money to Chinese real estate companies, this method of quietly taking away the dividends of China's real estate development is the most clever method, and it will not inflame public opinion and create "foreign capital pushing up my country's housing prices." , "Foreign capital is the culprit of high housing prices" and other negative public opinions that are not conducive to companies making money locally.

The U.S. dollar fund can do this in China, and it can naturally follow the same pattern in the United States. Everyone is just switching houses.

In this way, everyone will have a good reputation and be a good person.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Xia Jingxing left his father and daughter and continued to build friendships and repair relationships with representatives of other institutions and old money.

After being coerced, induced, and broken down by him, it is impossible to say that others have no knots in their hearts at all. Although it was not his fault, Americans were not an empathetic people.

For the sake of money, everyone was very generous to Xia Jingxing today. It seemed as if they had really forgotten the unpleasantness that happened some time ago. They kept telling Xia Jingxing that lawsuits and tax cases were just minor issues. America is still a fair and just country in people's minds, and it will definitely clear Vision Capital's name as soon as possible.

After a period of false greetings, by the time the banquet was about to end, Xia Jingxing was already drunk.

When he received a strange phone call, he suddenly regained consciousness.

"Dylan, did you have a good time at the party?"

Hearing the gloomy voice on the phone, Xia Jingxing's brows suddenly stood up: "Who are you?"

"Who am I? Haha, I am your closest and most trusted partner!"

Xia Jingxing's brows furrowed even more as he listened to the other party's quick response.

He didn't know whether this person was deliberately playing a prank or had some other intentions. In short, he had bad intentions towards him.

Therefore, he deliberately provoked the other party, "I'm still busy now. If you have anything to do, call my assistant. We'll talk about it tomorrow. That's it."

"Wait! You really don't know who I am?"

"Why should I know who you are!"

Xia Jingxing's tough rhetorical question seemed to irritate the other party, who sneered and said, "Okay, I'll tell you who I am, I'm James Pierce."

"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Pierce. Sorry, I didn't recognize your voice just now."

A smile suddenly appeared on Xia Jingxing's lips. Who did he think he was? It turned out to be this rich generation. He liked chatting with the rich generation the most.

"Stop being pretentious. I have no other intention of calling you. I just want to send you a message."

"Wish me a bright and smooth future?"

The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted, and then laughed loudly and said, "Okay, can I take this as an insult to the oldest family in the United States?"

"As you like, you can also take it as a friendly greeting from the heir of the oldest family in China with a history of more than 4,000 years to the oldest family in the United States with a history of more than 300 years.

Oh, that’s wrong. The United States was only founded more than 200 years ago. How can your history be more than 300 years old? "

"Okay, very good, wait for my friendly greetings to you!"

Xia Jingxing wanted to chat a few more words, but Pierce didn't give him a chance and hung up the phone directly.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Xia Jingxing shook his head helplessly. What kind of qualities do you have? More than two hundred years of history still cannot change its barbarian nature.

At this time, Ivan Kallen walked towards him at a leisurely pace and asked with confusion in his eyes: "Who called?"

"A person who comes to scold me!"

Xia Jingxing smiled nonchalantly. He was not afraid of settling down alone. After all, it was not decades ago or even last century. The blue-blood nobles at that time really had great eyes and hands. They could kill me. , I, the people of the Republic of China, should not be too simple.
