We chatted for more than three hours on the private plane.
Later I simply went to my room to sleep. There was also a fifty-inch high-definition TV in which I could watch whatever I wanted.
The details in the room are also full, and it doesn’t feel like sleeping at home.
A private jet worth 700 million is so comfortable.
I lay down and watched TV for a while, closing my eyes and opening them again. It was ten o'clock in the morning, US time.
They arrived in Manhattan, New York.
It was Tong Zelan’s secretarial team who came to pick her up. She had established a North American branch of Red Lan Capital in Manhattan.
I also bought an office building of more than 2,000 square meters on the first floor here for office use.
Manhattan is a gathering place for the global elite.
Having your own headquarters here is definitely a symbol of strength. At least one-third of the top 500 companies in the United States have their headquarters in Manhattan.
To the south is Wall Street, less than 500 meters away, where the average annual salary per employee is as high as $660,000.
There are also the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, and Manhattan's skyscrapers nearby.
Because I had a good night’s sleep, there was no jet lag.
Tong Zelan stretched out, her breasts were full. Her car here was two Escalade Platinum Extended Editions.
Chen Pingsheng naturally wanted to go with her to the North American branch of Red Orchid Capital first. He was not very familiar with Manhattan, but fortunately he had many acquaintances here.
It is here that Cai Chengcheng, the number two character in You Like Ah, purchased a top-notch mansion.
There are many Chinese rich people like this.
Tong Zelan's headquarters is in the Empire State Building, a famous landmark building in New York, of which she spent a huge sum of money to buy the thirty-ninth floor.
It is worth mentioning that this building was built in 1931 with a total of 102 floors.
After Chen Pingsheng followed her to the headquarters office, he first sat down with his team and drank two sips of tea.
Then Tong Zelan took some more information from the secretary, "Old Chen, take a look at the big house here first. I asked the secretary to carefully select it for you in advance."
Manhattan is characterized by top-level apartments. Very few people live in villas, so they need to go to a more remote area.
Two of the three houses are close to Central Park, so the external environment is naturally not good.
Now that he is here, he must first find a home.
After a casual look, I finally decided to buy the 7,074-square-foot luxury apartment with a landing price of 380 million.
Tong Zelan asked his secretary to go through the purchase procedures for him. There are dedicated people to help take care of everything for the rich.
He just needs to wait until night to pack his bags and check in.
Tong Zelan knew that this was his first time here, so he still made all arrangements very carefully.
At least after the house is bought, special people will be arranged to clean it there immediately, and a set of the best bed sheets will be provided.
In addition, seven or eight top-quality suits and two luxury cars will be prepared and delivered to his downstairs.
Just wait until everything is purchased and then go directly to him for reimbursement.
Tong Zelan said: "This house is pretty good. It's just above mine. If I want to visit you in the evening, it's only an elevator away."
"It's good to live close by."< br>
Chen Pingsheng asked her, "Didn't you arrange for an investment institution to discuss the share transfer? When will you come over?"
"Don't worry, it won't happen until the afternoon."< br>
Tong Zelan likes to drink coffee, which refreshes and refreshes the mind. "You are sure to sell 15% of your Antler Coffee shares for 3 billion!"
"Very sure."
"Okay, if most of my money hadn't been invested in the stock market, I would have bought you directly. According to this trend, Antler Coffee will grow to more than 20 billion!"
Tong Zelan doesn't like speculation. Domestic stocks mainly contain too many junk stocks.
It is difficult to make long-term money due to various factors.
Things are different here abroad. For example, Apple and Facebook, which have been held for many years, have been purchased for many years.
The annual income is also very good.
Chen Pingsheng mainly had random increases, otherwise he would not have been so eager to cash out his shares.
Same as Bobo Milk Tea and Boiling Yangyang, they both hold 5% in the end.
After layers of holdings, the company’s final decision-making power is strictly controlled.
Tong Zelanyue's investment institutions are all from the Chinese community, including Cheng Chang, who specializes in Chinese fast food here.
My ancestral home is in Jiangsu, where I opened a hundred fast food chain stores in 2003.
There are also Yang Zhiyuan, the first-generation Internet founder, and Duan Yongping, a well-known investor in China.
These people would not have attended the investment conference for the transfer of Antler Coffee shares originally, just because Chen Pingsheng is also a top billionaire in the mainland.
Everyone just came over to recognize each other.
You have to know that when you come to the United States, anyone from China belongs to the same circle.
Under the big circle, there will also be small circles divided into various regions.
It’s only three billion, which is nothing to Duan Yongping and the others.
Although he lives in the United States, he still controls several top companies in the country.
I also cooperated with Chen Pingsheng in Pinxixi, and they are both investors in Pinxixi.
Billions are a small amount of money, but they are quite optimistic about the long-term development of Antler Coffee.
The domestic market is just the first stop for Antler Coffee, and it is destined to involve the global market in the future.
By then the stock price will be far more than 20 billion.
This is also the real reason why they are willing to jointly finance the purchase.
Chen Pingsheng also heard a lot of news from them that was unheard in China, as well as some secret financial information.
Specifically, Manhattan is truly a world-class financial center.
Here you can see the economic development of various regions around the world, as well as national gaming centers.
With different heights, the vision will naturally be different.
Just like Wall Street, it serves as a financing tool for all listed companies and uses the money raised to better develop future technologies.
Whether it is a chip or AI, or artificial intelligence.
The extent of the lead here is not even a little bit.
And New York has a certain siphon effect on the world's top talents.
To put it bluntly, both international students and graduates from top domestic universities are willing to work here.
Not to mention others, Tsinghua University alone has more than 20,000 graduates here.
Tsinghua University only has more than 3,000 graduates in one year.
Just think about it and you will know how scary this data is.
Large companies here attach great importance to technological research and development, which has also resulted in the United States alone accounting for half of the top 100 listed companies in the technology field in the world.
The real gap can be seen from this simple data.
It is no exaggeration to say that while China is still obsessed with making money and marketing through various business models, companies here have been specializing in future technologies.
Once a key technology breakthrough is achieved, any business model or marketing method will be worth mentioning.
Just like paper, it breaks when you poke it.
You are like Musk from Tesla. New energy vehicles are just one of his entrepreneurial projects.
He also has a brain-computer interface, a Mars colonization plan, and a global low-orbit satellite Internet service.
Preparing to launch more than 6,000 satellites in orbit through the Starlink plan to provide space-based network services to users around the world.
Seriously, these projects have never been heard of in China, let alone implemented.
Domestic tycoons like him, or the top Internet tycoons, are still robbing vegetable vendors of their business.
This is the difference.
Chen Pingsheng heard from Lao Duan that many projects secretly developed by large companies were somewhat shocking.
Feeling deeply disparate.
It must be said that some technology companies are really committed to promoting the great development of mankind as a whole.
In the future era of global competition, it will definitely not be based on the price of housing prices. The key core will still be real technology.
He spent more than 60 billion to develop new energy, which is absolutely correct.
It can be seen from here that new energy vehicles are full of prospects.
New energy vehicles currently account for less than 3% of the domestic automobile market.
As new energy technology further matures, this proportion will definitely become larger and larger.
...
After chatting until night, Chen Pingsheng returned to his newly bought home.
A top-notch duplex apartment with an area of more than 7,000 square feet, has three large living rooms and seven bedrooms, and is full of various details.
Especially the large living room, facing Central Park.
Except for Zhang Wanyi, everyone else went to stay in the hotel first.
If she stays here, she can still make breakfast and handle some urgent business.
Today, Antler Coffee cashed out 3 billion in funds, and its income was also 3 billion in funds.
This is the capital he used to start on Wall Street, so he has to try his luck.
"Ding, congratulations to the host, today's revenue is 435 million US dollars. Do you want to enable random doubling?"
"Enable."
Chen Pingsheng, who was sitting in the living room, recited something silently.
The golden dice reappeared, shaking non-stop.
Finally stopped at four o'clock. "Congratulations to the host, you have obtained a fourfold random increase."
After one second, two seconds, and three seconds passed.
"Ding, your Citibank account has received US$1.74 billion, and the balance is US$2.175 billion."
This is really good luck. After arriving in the United States, my bank card was changed to Citibank.
The settlement currency naturally became US dollars.
The lights in Manhattan are brightly lit at night, compared to the infrastructure in the Magic City.
Manhattan is not as good as there, but it is far behind in terms of economy and global influence.
If I had to use one word to describe the gap between the two, it would be like people who have never been to a big city especially yearn for Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
This is Manhattan, the first global city that gathers the world's elite.
The most noteworthy thing is that there is no need to work overtime when working here. The role of the labor union is to strictly protect the rights and interests of workers.
"Uncle Chen, several of my classmates are studying here."
Zhang Wanyi finished taking a shower and wiped her wet hair.
In her heart, Chen Pingsheng is not only a boss but also a caring elder.
"That's good. If you have their contact information, you can try to contact one or two. I can't do it. No one has studied abroad after graduating from junior high school."
"That's because of the conditions. Ah."
Zhang Wanyi explained: "My classmates all went to study abroad because their grades were not very good and they couldn't win the exams at home. After they got here, they discovered that the education methods were completely different. If you don’t win, these people from abroad are very good.”
This is also true.
Chen Pingsheng himself often said that if he doesn't study hard, he will only be able to study at Harvard when he grows up.
Domestic education is exam-oriented, while foreign education is based on teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.
Learn whatever you want to learn, completely different.
Those who can take the Tsinghua and Peking University exams in China will basically not get admitted.
“Those classmates of yours are in pretty good condition!”
"No way, the family scraped together and sold all the houses so that they could study here for a few years."
Zhang Wanyi's family has average conditions, so naturally she doesn't have the conditions to study abroad.
The cost of studying in a prestigious school abroad, not to mention the tuition alone, is hundreds of thousands a year.
All kinds of expenses add up, and if you want to live a good life, 800,000 yuan a year is the starting point.
“However, they all stayed here to work after graduation, easily earning four to five million yuan a year. They work a five-day work system and work no more than forty hours a week.”
This is a fact, and it is obviously much better than the crazy involution.
Zhang Wanyi smiled and said: "I only learned about them from my classmates."
"It's pretty good."
Chen Pingsheng said: "We just You don’t know anything about Wall Street yet, so you can try to contact them. I will also look for suitable office buildings for sale tomorrow.”
“Uncle Chen, you want to buy an office building here. ”
"You are thinking too much. Just buying one floor is enough."
He has no property abroad, so there is no need to spend that wasted money to buy an office building.
Besides, labor prices here are very high. The starting salary for graduates from prestigious schools is US$50,000 to US$60,000 a year.
He should not be taken advantage of.
Wait until the industry here is sorted out before considering investing heavily in an office building.
The next day, Zhang Wanyi prepared breakfast when it was dark.
Chen Pingsheng came out to eat some while waiting for him to go to the 39th floor of the Empire State Building.
Tong Zelan told him that there was a single-story office building for sale upstairs. If the area of more than 2,000 square meters was used to open an investment company, it would definitely be enough.
Chen Pingsheng also thought this was the case. He went to find out about it and found that it was still a British company that was listed for sale. They wanted to move their headquarters to the Port of New Jersey.
It is natural to sell this place, with the price of a single floor being as high as 120 million US dollars.
Chen Pingsheng thought for a while and agreed. The main reason was that there was not much room for counter-offering.
The core area in Manhattan really costs this price.
Everything is in good condition, you can just bring your bag and work, but he is busy packing up his new headquarters.
Something big happened on the other side.
I don’t know why the news was leaked, but Antler Coffee was attacked by Wall Street short-selling giant Muddy Waters.
At 9 a.m., Muddy Waters published a large analysis article on Antler Coffee’s financial fraud and inflated stock price.
And it was stamped and released by several big economists.
As soon as the news came out, the stock price plummeted.
Only after Tong Zelan came up did he find out that Muddy Waters had borrowed 30% of Antler Coffee shares from an investment bank.
The total market value is around 8.5 billion.
There is no doubt that Antler Coffee is being targeted by short-selling giants.
The so-called short selling is a stock market method that is only available abroad.
For example, now, the actual value of each share of Antler Coffee is US$12, and Muddy Waters borrowed 100 million shares from the investment bank.
It was agreed to pay off within half a year.
After half a year, Antler Coffee will drop to only $6 per share.
Then he only needs to pay back the shares at the price of six dollars.
The borrowing price is 12 US dollars per share, and the repayment price is 6 US dollars per share.
The gap in the middle is the income of short-selling giants.
Of course, there is another situation that happens.
That means it was 12 US dollars when I lent it, and it went up to 36 US dollars when I paid it back.
Then you will have to bear huge losses.
When 100 million shares were lent, they only had an actual value of 8.5 billion.
If the 100 million shares rise to 25.5 billion when they are returned, the gap in the middle will be made up by the short-selling giants.
A simple understanding of short selling is that the lower the stock price is, the higher the profit of the short-selling giant will be.
If the stock price rises in the opposite direction, it will face huge losses.
Seriously speaking, if you can make money by shorting the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets, it will definitely be a paradise for short-selling giants.
With your eyes closed, you can hit the target accurately.
It is different in foreign countries. Stock prices can rise one or two times in a year, so you can imagine the days of these short-selling giants.
Think of high-quality stocks to pick out those companies with inflated stock prices or poorly managed companies to attack.
After Chen Pingsheng clearly understood the rules of short selling, he didn’t care much about it.
This is different from the time when Xu Tiehe, including the so-called Mr. Yan, wanted to seize his business management rights through the stock market.
He will definitely fight back.
And Muddy Waters makes money by lowering his stock price.
In other words, part of the money made by Muddy Waters was entirely borne by foreign retail investors who bought Antler Coffee stocks.
He can say without exaggeration that this matter is beneficial to him personally.
After all, he had just sold the shares of Antler Coffee at a high price, only to encounter the short-selling giant Muddy Waters when he turned around.
You can’t blame him.
Secondly, when the stock price really drops to a certain level, he can use another billion to buy it back at a low price.
The method of making money was exactly the same as the previous two times, so as far as he was concerned, he hoped that Muddy Waters would lower the stock price of Antler Coffee.
It’s just that I can’t tell anyone this idea.
There is still a superficial counterattack, but no one knows about it secretly.
He also wanted to use one billion to buy back the 15% shares he sold after Mushui lowered the stock price.
Every time you go out and enter, you can make billions of profits, and only a fool would not do it.
Anyway, everyone is buying from retail investors.
As for those big investors, they will naturally not sell their stocks at this time. As long as they do not sell their stocks, there will be no cash losses.
It will rise back one day in the future.
Chen Pingsheng chose to stand still and let Yang Qian, the president of Xiangjiang, keep posting news and scolding Muddy Waters for being shameless.
He secretly prepared a sum of one billion funds, and only waited for the stock price to drop to the freezing point before slowly repurchasing it.
No matter how fierce the criticism from Xiangjiang is, the investigation report released by Muddy Waters will be true.
Antlers Coffee, milk tea-style coffee, is not global at all.
It even involves financial fraud and false profit reporting. A large number of economic experts were invited to send videos to inform these old and American retail investors.
This is a garbage Chinese company, please throw it away as soon as possible.
Chen Pingsheng never expected that his second opportunity to make money on Wall Street would come so quickly.
It is still achieved by looting retail investors in the United States.
The more unfavorable news Muddy Waters published, the more fierce the criticism from Xiangjiang was, and not a single serious clarification news was published.
Anyway, just keep cursing and cursing, and the stock price will reach its lowest point in the short term.
It is normal for domestic companies listed on Nasdaq to encounter short-selling giants.
No one really takes it seriously. At least these things are normal on Wall Street.
