My 1999

"Dear Charles, Pacific Fund has indeed made a lot of money, I promise it will satisfy you. However, we are still counting the specific amount. After the fund is unblocked, you can check it in the backend account." Xu Liang said with a smile.

Charles Cadogan did not give up, "I think there should be a rough number?"

"Why, my dear Charles, are you short of money now?"

"NONO, I'm just curious! After all, there are many rumors about Pacific Fund now, and even the outside world is very curious about how much you have made from subprime debt."

"Dear Charles, a delicious meal should be tasted when everything is ready to enjoy its true taste."

After patting his shoulder with a smile, "Let's go, let's go to the art exhibition first and relax."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Charles was a little disappointed, but he didn't ask any more questions.

Anyway, it's making money, not losing money.

And it's less than two months before the fund is unblocked, he still has enough patience.

After Charles Cadogan arrived, other invited people also came one after another. Some needed Xu Liang to greet them personally, but most didn't.

"Hi, Benjamin, is everything ok?"

Looking at the white old man who came in, Xu Liang greeted him with a smile.

Benjamin Rothschild also smiled and gave him a hug.

Although the Rothschild family does not have the wealth that rivals a country in conspiracy theories, it is equally powerful.

The entire family takes financial services as the cornerstone, and invests deeply in many fields such as wine, mining, real estate and art. It also has a large number of business layouts in China.

Financial field: including global financial advisors (divided into mergers and acquisitions and capital markets), institutional asset management, financial management and trusts.

Rothschild is listed on the Paris Stock Exchange and provides strategic, mergers and acquisitions, wealth management and financing consulting and services to governments, companies and individuals around the world.

Currently, 3,500 employees are doing business in more than 40 countries and regions, with a share capital of 155 million euros. Rothschild ranks 24th in the 201 Top 50 Global Investment Banks.

Edmond de Rothschild is located in Switzerland and was formerly the LCF Group, an equity investment and asset management company.

Little Cardinal is an investment trust independently founded by Jacob and listed in London, with a market value of about 3 billion pounds.

Rothschild \u0026 Co., Edmond de Rothschild \u0026 Co. and Little Cardinal are also the three major institutions of the Rothschild family in the financial industry.

The Rothschild family's wine business has three branches: Baron Rothschild Group, which owns Château Mouton Rothschild, Lafite Rothschild Group, which owns Château Lafite Rothschild, and Edmond Rothschild Group, all of which are world-class red wine brands with unparalleled reputation and status in the wine industry.

Mining field: BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, and Vale, which account for 70% of the global iron ore market share.

De Beers, a South African diamond merchant that dominates 40% of the world;

French mining companies such as Eramet, Imerys, and Rusal, are all hidden behind the Rothschild family.

Unlike direct purchases in the 19th century, indirect investment currently relies mainly on financial instruments.

For example, RIT Capital, a subsidiary of Rothschild, still holds 1.25 million pounds of Rio Tinto shares.

Jacob and other family members invested in Rio Tinto with privately controlled asset portfolios, and many people on the list of Rio Tinto executives had worked for Rothschild.

However, except for De Beers, other mining giants, Rothschild family members are just ordinary directors and cannot control the operation of the group.

Real estate field: In the 19th century, it is conservatively estimated that the family built 44 mansions across Europe.

Waddesdon Manor is located in Buckinghamshire, England. It was built by Ferdinand Rothschild between 1874 and 1889. It is the only industry with intact collections and open to the public. It is currently donated to the National Trust of Great Britain, but is still managed by family members.

Art field: The Rothschild family has a unique place in the field of art collection through purchasing collections, sponsoring artists, and donations.

Europe, no, it should be said that it is a routine operation for Western old money families to invest in art, which can not only show their own taste and pattern, but also have investment attributes.

As a super old money that has been glorious for more than 200 years, the Rothschild family's treasure house contains various artworks, not to mention mountains, but definitely tens of thousands.

Ferdinand Rothschild, just one family member, donated nearly 300 medieval and Renaissance artworks to the British Museum in 1898, including gold and silver wares, crystal, amber, enamel, ceramics, furniture and sculptures.

You can imagine how rich the collection of the entire Rothschild family is.

Xu Liang has also been collecting.

He mainly focuses on fine products.

He sold some of the artworks that Hanhua invested in that year, and kept most of them for himself.

Over the years, there are more than 2,000 artworks of all sizes in the collection.

The book value is no less than 20 billion Chinese yuan.

If the value brought by the appreciation of artworks in recent years is taken into account, the overall valuation will double.

In China, Rothschild has infiltrated many businesses.

I won't mention the old almanac before the founding of New China.

After the reform and opening up, Rothschild's business in China included: First, carrying out merger and acquisition consulting intermediary business.

For example, it participated in Geely's acquisition of Volvo, CNOOC's acquisition of Unocal, China Unicom's acquisition of Netcom, and the merger of Jinling Automobile and Modu Automobile.

Second, financial investment.

In 2006, France's Edmond de Rothschild Bank obtained a QFII investment quota of US$100 million, holding 25% of China Ocean Fund and 15.39% of Daocheng Bank.

Third, industrial investment, optimistic about China's catering industry, invested in Oriental Dumpling King and Little Sheep, and its Lafite Group cooperated with CITIC to establish Rothschild Baron CITIC Wine Company.

Of course, these are all wealth in the open.

Even Xu Liang has not been able to get a glimpse of the full picture of this family for many years.

However, Hanhua and Rothschild are partners. Hanhua has purchased many CDs bonds of British companies through the other party, and has also cooperated with the other party similar to Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan in the United States to short the British stock market.

Of course, the Rothschild family is also an investor in the Pacific Fund.

"Of course, especially after hearing that Pacific Fund made a lot of money from the US subprime debt under your leadership, I feel very happy."

"Haha, many people told me so."

Benjamin Rothschild continued with a smile, "I think many people have asked you how much money they made?"

"Dear Benjamin, now I can understand why Rothschild has been glorious for hundreds of years and passed down for eight generations. You all have smart brains."

"Thank you. Rothschild is a top aristocrat, but none of us can be a financial genius like you."

"You are too flattering. Mr. Mayer Rothschild has always been my idol." Xu Liang said with a smile.

Benjamin Rothschild smiled, "Xu, everyone in the industry is saying that you are not optimistic about the intervention of various countries in the capital market, and that the subprime debt has not been completely resolved and will continue to worsen?"

"I didn't say that."

"But you have proved it with your actions. Since the second half of this year, Hanhua has continued to short sell in the global capital market."

Xu Liang: "This is not my opinion alone. This is a comprehensive analysis of most people in Hanhua's strategic investment department and hedge fund department."

"Dear Xu, many people don't agree with your analysis now.

Many people even think that you are deliberately spreading panic, causing market turmoil, and making illegal profits."

Xu Liang smiled and said, "Benjamin, what do you think?"

Looking at the man's deep eyes, Benjamin Rothschild stared for a moment and smiled, "I believe in the judgment of a genius!"

Xu Liang took a sip of the red wine in the glass, "In fact, I prefer others to think that I am wrong."

"This way you have enough opponents, and when they lose, you can make more?"

Xu Liang smiled and said nothing more.

Benjamin Rothschild smiled and was about to continue, but he soon saw a tall figure coming in from the corner of his eyes.

Not only him, but Xu Liang also saw it.

"Dear Benjamin, it seems that today's conversation can only stop here for the time being."

"I look forward to the next exchange."

After patting his shoulder, Xu Liang walked towards the visitor.

"Sir William, welcome to your arrival."

Prince William quickly shook his outstretched right hand.

"Dear Mr. Xu, my grandmother specially asked me to represent the royal family to attend your exhibition, and asked me to bring her to you to extend a sincere invitation to invite you and your wife to attend the dinner at Buckingham Palace."

"Please tell the Queen that I will visit on time with my wife."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, it's my honor."

After a few polite words, Xu Liang took the person in.

Guests came one after another, and soon filled up most of the exhibition area.

Mo Manniang exhibited a total of 39 oil paintings and 57 sketches this time.

All of them are works she created in the UK over the years.

Some of them are works she and Xu Liang worked on together, with their names signed on them.

Most of the people present were experts in the field of art collection. After looking around, they realized the preciousness of these oil paintings that they worked on together, and they all offered money to buy them.

However, they were all rejected by Xu Liang.

He would rather put these paintings in the museum that he had already planned to collect.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

After the two-hour exhibition, everyone left.

Xu Liang also received many invitations to dinners and parties.

The purpose is not difficult to guess. In addition to asking how much Pacific Fund earned from this subprime bond, it is to spy on his next investment plan and his judgment on the future trend of the capital market.

However, except for the invitations from the royal family, Rothschild, Grosvenor and other truly top-level wealthy families, he does not plan to attend the rest.

But even though he has streamlined most of it, after this round, he has been in the UK for nearly a month.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he flew to Paris again.

There were two women here who needed his comfort.

"Dear!!"

Watching him walk down from the plane, Christina, who was wearing a long red windbreaker and tall, could no longer suppress her private thoughts and ran into his arms.

Feeling the strength of his embrace, Xu Liang also hugged the pretty lady in his arms emotionally.

Seeing this scene, Sofia, who came to meet him not far away, couldn't help but show envy on her beautiful face.

As that man's woman, she will always be just a lover who is not allowed to see the light.

Unlike the other party, he can throw himself into the other party's arms to express his thoughts and love without restraint.

He can also inherit a world-class top enterprise like 'Vivendi'.

"Why wasn't I the first person to meet him!"

At this moment, Sofia's heart was filled with envy.

She asked herself that her appearance and knowledge were not worse than Christina's, but it was a pity that she met that man too late.

Not to mention how her heart was surging, Xu Liang let go of the beauty in his arms.

"Where are the children?"

"The weather is too cold, Deren has a little cold, I didn't bring them here." Christina said.

The two have been together until now.

A total of five children were born.

One twin, born in October 2004, they are already three years and two months old.

One triplet, born in October last year, is only a little over one year old now.

Christina is also the woman who gave him the most children, and she has a strong constitution for multiple births, and she will have multiple babies when she gets pregnant.

If they keep giving birth like this, they might be able to have ten children before they are thirty!

"Let's go, let's go home."

Christina nodded with a smile, "Don't forget Sofia."

Xu Liang glanced at the woman standing not far away, wearing a purple coat, a long ponytail, and delicate features.

She is only twenty years old and is in the most beautiful stage of her life.

"It seems that you like her very much."

"There are a lot of things in Vivendi. I am busy with work most of the time, and she takes care of the children most of the time.

And she teaches them very well, so of course I can't treat her badly."

Xu Liang nodded with a smile and walked up to him.

Looking at the man who was walking towards her, although they had made love many times together, Sofia still felt a little inexplicably nervous.

"Why, don't you miss me?"

Xu Liang smiled as he came closer.

"Yes, but there are too many people here."

Sofia lowered her head and whispered.

Xu Liang smiled and hugged her into his arms, "Silly girl, I have fallen in love with you since the day you gave me your body.

So, don't care about other people's eyes.

You can also say you are my woman in front of anyone."

Although Sophia knew rationally that this was just a sweet lie, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and her eyes became a little sour.

"Thank you."

"We don't need to be so polite."

Sophia nodded vigorously and subconsciously hugged his waist tightly.

Everyone believes what they want to believe, and she is no exception.

After comforting his concubine, Xu Liang also got on the car to go home.

No. 1288, Avenue Foch, Paris, this super luxurious villa covering an area of ​​1,237 square meters, Xu Liang has been to many times.

But most of the time he stayed for a few days, comforting the two long-lost beautiful women and then left.

This time he planned to stay for a while.

Back home.

"My dears, Daddy is back."

Ding-dong...

Accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, the two little guys rushed out quickly.

"Dad!"

They rushed into Xu Liang's arms one after the other.

Laughing loudly, he fell to the ground with the momentum of the two children, letting them laugh freely on him.

Not long after, the three little guys with slower pace also caught up.

Two big and three small, five children surrounded Xu Liang and kissed and grabbed him.

The childish laughter and the crying sounds of fighting for the place made the originally grand villa more full of life.

Seeing the six fathers and sons playing so happily, Christina, who followed in, also showed joy on her pretty face.

No one can refuse a warm home.

After playing for a while, he comforted these little guys.

After dinner, he put the children to bed and didn't need to tell them.

A man and two women couldn't wait to enter the room. After not seeing each other for a long time, they naturally had to play a great harmonious concerto of life!
