Start from 1980

Chapter 366 Foundation

I don't know what it is, and it's so mysterious.

Su Chen started cooking, a serious dinner.

After eating and drinking, Eaton let him into the study, and as soon as he entered, he saw the words hanging on the wall, the two that Su Chen gave him last time.

"Sit." Eaton greeted, and then lit the pipe in his hand.

After Su Chen sat down, he said, "Man, how long will you stay in New York this time?"

"It depends, you know, I have so many companies to look at now, in fact, I haven't been in the company since the acquisition, I suspect that if I don't show up again, maybe people will forget me It's the boss' business."

Su Chen said: "So this time, I came to see the company. By the way, I want to acquire some industries. If you are willing to lend me another three billion, that would be the best."

Eaton said with a black line: "Do you really think that our family opened the bank? I have already put a lot of pressure on lending you an unsecured loan. If you still don't sign up, I will be forced to resign."

He put down his pipe and looked at Su Chen: "You have studied the economy so well, what do you think of the current American economy? Or what do you think of the Japanese economy?"

Su Chen pondered for a while, and said: "To be honest, the current US fiscal deficit has increased sharply, and the foreign trade deficit has increased significantly, so I think the US government will increase the export competitiveness of products through the depreciation of the US dollar to improve the US international trade. balance of payments."

"It's very possible what you said." Eaton nodded seriously, and then said: "Due to the second oil crisis, the price of energy in the United States has risen sharply, leading to a rise in the consumer price index in the United States, and serious inflation. Inflation rates in excess of double digits.

You don't even know that if you put your money in the bank at the beginning of 1980, the real rate of return by the end of the year was a negative 12.4%!God!I can't believe this is happening! "

Su Chen frowned: "Are you interested in engaging in Japanese benzene?"

"What do you mean?" Eaton asked curiously.

"I judge that the U.S. dollar will depreciate, so I plan to short the U.S. dollar. At the same time, I think that Japan's economy will achieve unprecedented development and the yen will appreciate, so I plan to go long yen from now on."

Su Chen said: "But my ability alone is limited. If you are interested, why don't we vote together? God, I really regard you as my father-in-law now. I have never told anyone about this opportunity. !"

"Fuck your father-in-law!" Eaton cursed, and then asked seriously, "How sure are you about the appreciation of the yen?"

"50%."

Eaton was silent for a while, then slapped his hands: "Done!"

Picking up the pipe again, he took two puffs, then asked, "How much do you plan to spend?"

"5000 million short dollars, 5000 million long yen." Su Chen said: "Doesn't your Wells Fargo Bank have this business? Use 50 times leverage and don't keep any positions."

"Fack!" Even though Eaton had a lot of experience, he couldn't help grinning: "You have [-] million dollars, you don't keep any positions, and you can liquidate your position with only a few percentage points. Once you liquidate your position, you will lose everything!"

"We Chinese have a saying that how bold a person is, how productive the land is, wealth and wealth are found in insurance." Su Chen said: "5000 million and 50 times the leverage, that is 25 billion."

Eaton thought about it seriously, and said: "Since you are so bold, I will also vote with you. I will also invest [-] million US dollars. By the way, we will each invest [-] million US dollars. How about setting up a foundation?"

"Establish a foundation?" Su Chen pondered for a while: "Everyone holds 50%?"

"Yes, don't worry, I already regard you as my son-in-law." Eaton blinked: "And I don't care about anything, as long as I follow you and share the money, how about it?"

"But I don't have that much money now, why don't you lend me [-] million in private?" Su Chen said, "Since you regard me as your son-in-law, do you want to take care of me?"

Eaton couldn't help cursing: "Fake, I only have so much money! Where did I lend you [-] million?"

"Okay, then I'll find a way to raise [-] million." Su Chen thought for a while and said, "You can follow me to pick up money, but if there is a problem with my investment direction, you can't blame me, after all, investment is risky. "

"Okay, and I don't care about anything. My plan is to give Miranda the money and set up such a foundation in your name." Eaton said, "God knows, I'm so worried about my daughter." mind."

"As I told you, once the foundation is established, neither I nor Miranda will ask about the company's affairs, but we need to know the financial statements, such as what you invested, how much money you have, and so on. "

"Deal!" Su Chen nodded immediately, and continued: "But I want an obedient subordinate. I don't have that many people to use, and this subordinate should not ask me about my investment, as long as I do things according to my orders."

"How about Bernice?" Eaton suggested.

Su Chen looked at him vigilantly: "Didn't you say you believed me? Are you going to send Bernice to supervise me?"

"Fake!" Eaton glared at him viciously: "You have cheated my daughter away, can't I know the whereabouts of the money? Don't worry, I can assure you that Bernice will only be responsible to you, but there is an obligation There is also a duty to provide us with quarterly financial statements."

"can!"

The reason why Su Chen wants to cooperate with Eaton is naturally because of the current honeymoon period with Wells Fargo Bank and the white gloves that Wells Fargo Bank can provide, otherwise he will have to change his nationality.

Otherwise, the US government can screw him to death.

After talking about this matter, Eaton went on to say: "Man, I don't know if you have paid attention to the split of AT&T? Or have you paid attention to this company."

Of course, Su Chen is concerned about this company.

This company was created by Bell, the inventor of the telephone. In 1895, Bell divided the long-distance business project it was developing across the United States and established an independent company called AT&T. .

In 1899, AT&T integrated the business and assets of Bell in the United States and became the parent company of Bell System.

In the early days of the development of the communication industry, AT&T established manufacturing plants and signed many licensing agreements with many countries in the world.

In other words, if you want to use the phone, you have to pay AT&T.

And the most powerful thing about this company is not the license, but that it has the most powerful and greatest laboratory on earth-Bell Labs, none of them.

This trump card is the existence of the world's communication industry.

On January 1925, 1, Walter Kifford, president of AT&T at the time, acquired the research department of Western Electronics Corporation and established an independent entity called "Bell Telephone Laboratories Corporation", which was later renamed Bell Laboratories.

At the beginning of its establishment, AT&T gave 1200 million US dollars in funding.

This is definitely an astronomical figure.

The output of Bell Labs is absolutely worthy of AT&T's sky-high investment.

How awesome is this laboratory? Simply put, transistors, lasers, solar cells, light-emitting diodes, digital switches, communication satellites, electronic digital computers, cellular mobile communication equipment, long-distance television transmission, simulated language, sound movies, stereo recordings, The birthplace of many major inventions such as communication networks and communication networks is Bell Laboratories.

Without Bell Labs, there would be no computers, televisions, mobile phones, cameras and the Internet.

Since its establishment, Bell Labs has obtained more than 30000 patents, an average of one per day.

"I know." Su Chen nodded, "What's the matter? Are you planning to let me buy Bell Labs?"

"Dude, you don't have that ability yet, I mean, this is your chance!" Eaton said mysteriously: "I have an information to share with you now, information that will definitely surprise you..."
