American Peanuts

Chapter 141 Industrial Fund
"I guessed it, it's Victoria Rossi." Taylor cheered, wearing old-fashioned ankle-length pajamas.

Victoria, the eldest daughter of Senator Nicholas Rossi, is 45 years old and in her prime. She graduated from Harvard Law School and has a distinguished resume. Partner at Wachtell, a law firm ranked among the top three in the American legal community.

She made a bet with Charlie yesterday, and Charlie is actually more optimistic about the other one, Marcello Rossi.

Unexpectedly, he failed. Perhaps he suffered a disadvantage because of his age. He was nearly ten years younger than his cousin Victoria.

"The heir's matter is settled. After handling the industrial fund matters tomorrow, we can leave." Charlie breathed a sigh of relief.

"And I'm going to be separated from you again." Taylor said a little frustrated, which seemed to be the reason why the two crossed the last line of their relationship. She was very reluctant to let go of Charlie.

Charlie changed his clothes and came to the hall.

The family members were showing signs of fatigue, and many of the older generation already needed help from assistants. It was obvious that the three-day closed-door meeting had been quite intense.

Charlie saw Victoria surrounded by people. She looked radiant at the moment. Although she was tired, she could not hide her excitement.

Of course Charlie smiled and congratulated her as usual, but she was more concerned about family affairs.

"Charlie, this time the industrial fund is led by the Cox family. It is an honor for us in the Rossi family to be deeply involved in it. This is the first time in history. Although you are not related to us by blood, the maintenance of the Rossi family It's not based on blood, but based on sincerity. We will treat you like a real family. This is the guarantee I can give." She specifically mentioned what will happen tomorrow.

After Victoria left, it was natural that several families were happy and some were sad, especially the Arnault family, who looked very depressed. After all, his eldest son was also a very strong competitor, but he still sent his best wishes to Charlie.

"I hope I can see you again at the next party. I feel happy when I see you and the girl named Taylor. You let me see the future of the Rossi family. I have to criticize my two husbands when I go back. As a son, let them look to you more when they are looking for the other half of their lives."

"Don't you stay for two more days?"

"No, I don't want to see the relationship between my relatives get worse, especially with two powder barrels standing behind me. Our family will leave tonight, but Gino will stay here to assist you."

"Assist me?" This was the first time Charlie knew the news.

If you think about it carefully, as a person from Apollo Asset Management, he is completely suitable to assist him from a resume perspective.

But...my own investment style is of the "cheating" school. Wouldn't letting such a person come here only make me constrained?

Charlie couldn't refuse for a while, and was going to discuss the matter with Abraham privately.

Most of the Rossi family left that night. After all, they stayed here for too long. None of these backbones had a high profile in Utah and had many affairs.

Then Charlie went to Abraham alone. He was meeting with foreign guests. Abraham's assistant informed Charlie that the other party's identity was the Utah State Attorney.

In the United States, prosecutors can be simply understood as lawyers hired by local GOVs. For example, the prosecutors in the Chicago area have thousands of assistants. In fact, they know Charlie. All of them are elites in the legal field and handle various lawsuits. In fact, in the United States, because of the existence of "defense bargaining", most criminal cases will not reach the stage of trial, and prosecutors are playing a role.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, Charlie was able to walk into Abraham's study and tell him his thoughts. Abraham comforted him and said that Gino was representing the family this time, while Charlie was acting as an "investment manager." "He will not interfere with Charlie at all."

After spending another very unforgettable night with Taylor, Abraham's waiter knocked on Charlie's door early in the morning.

After breakfast, Charlie entered the banquet hall again. The difference from before was that this time the people sitting in the banquet hall were people from other families.

There was no one sitting in the head position. The next one was Pulley, and the other side was Gino, who had no dealings with Charlie.

From the fact that the representative sent by the Rossi family is Gino, it can be seen that the entire industry fund is not particularly important to these wealthy clans.

It's more like a petty quarrel between the younger generations. It's probably the first time these younger generations have interfered in family affairs.To say that the one with the highest status among them is Bo Li. As a descendant of the current head of the family, she has been trained as a successor and has much more experience than others present.

"In that case, I won't be polite." Charlie sat directly in Abraham's seat.

Polly next to her was stunned for a moment, then sneered.

"You haven't noticed anything yet. Okay, let's start the fourth joint meeting of the Silicon Valley Industry Fund..." Polly turned to everyone.

"There are newcomers, so I will explain the rules in detail. This is a private equity industry fund that is not open to the public. It mainly focuses on the high-tech field. It is associated with many PEs in Silicon Valley and has a professional advisory team. The fund is led by the Cox family. The cumulative income of the first three phases has exceeded US$200 billion, and it has invested in Netscape, Yahoo, Adobe..."

"Considering that the results of the third phase were not ideal, I found the famous Charlie Rossi. This financial upstart graduated from the Department of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania. He once founded Mercure, and later... entered the entertainment field. Well Well, put aside these trivial things, the operations in the real estate-related index futures market a few months ago were witnessed by everyone, and even your uncle made a speech on TV in person." Boli looked at the person who was standing a distance away. young man.

"In short, we are full of confidence this time, and we will start subscribing... starting with the Rossi family." She then turned to Gino Rossi opposite.

On-site subscription, I'm afraid this is the highlight...

"US$30 billion, mainly from family trusts." Gino said the amount that had been determined long ago.

"Where's the Carnegie family?"

A young woman wearing thick glasses gestured.

"A billion dollars."

"One billion? Honey, don't you have confidence in Charlie Rossi?" Polly disliked that the number was a bit low.

"Of course not, it's just that we can't get away temporarily." The other party explained.

The remaining family representatives also had their own difficulties and did not donate generously. Greenham's family representative was even willing to invest US$[-] million.

One hundred million U.S. dollars is still a long number, but you must know that the person speaking it is one of the top families in the United States, and the total assets are at least one hundred billion U.S. dollars.

Only [-] million is given, which is enough to show the distrust of these families in the fund.

Maybe the third phase will cost these families a lot.For example, the defunct Netscape company, which specialized in browsers.

After asking around, I only raised tens of billions of dollars.

This was much less than Charlie expected, and he had to temporarily modify his plan to focus on one place.

"I'm personally prepared to invest $35 billion," Charlie said generously.

"Very good, it seems that you are full of confidence in your next investment. Let us hear your plan." Polly smiled very happily, and Charlie's move could be regarded as saving her face.

"Given the amount of funds, I can only choose the safest plan. My plan is to buy a large number of Apple shares."
