Chapter 216: More money = trouble
"Yes, sell all the stocks of those arms companies, don't let any of them go away."
Kaos looked at the news in the newspaper in his hand, frowned and ordered to the investment company in the United States.
Afghanistan is a landlocked country on the West Asian Plateau located in central and western Asia, bordering Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan to the north, Iran to the west, Pakistan to the south and east, and China to the northeast.
Under such terrain, the war environment can be said to prevent the United States from fully utilizing the advantages of its aircraft carrier fleet. After all, this is no longer the era of ancient times, when the war could be ended by either capturing the opponent's capital and clearing up domestic resistance.
This also destined the current war to be more of a quagmire. But that was the trouble of the subsequent occupation. At least now the US military is advancing smoothly in Afghanistan, and we can already see the dawn of the end of the war.
This also made Kaos understand that the stocks of the arms company he bought before have lost their popularity, and it is time to sell them. At least until the outbreak of the Iraq War next year, these stocks will have no value, but they will stay in his hands.
The profits made in these few months will be lost.
You must know that this is not a small number. It is not just a matter of gold when the cannon is fired. In the past few months, Kaos has bought a small number of arms stocks, such as Boeing, which only involves part of the business.
For this company, the return reported by the stock market is not large, only about 30%.
Like Lockheed Mark, Northrop Grumman and several other specialized arms companies, their stocks have experienced exaggerated growth, almost doubling their growth.
The US$4 billion spent on previous investments easily brought back a return of US$3 billion.
This is why Kaos smiled and said to Asa that the other party was willing to give birth to a child for him and would give him a reward when the time came.
Sometimes too much money is really a worry. Kaos can now understand the meaning in Malaysian dialect. After having too much money to a certain extent, it is indeed a big worry.
For example, after the arms company's stocks are sold, it can already be seen that there will be 7 billion in cash in hand. Kaos needs to find a place for this money as soon as possible.
In the United States, where all banks are private banks, the more money you have, the more likely you are to find various ways to invest it. Otherwise, if economic problems cause the bank to go bankrupt, there will be no money left in the bank, although this does not mean that there will be no money left.
However, according to the insurance purchased by the bank, an account is generally protected for only 100,000 US dollars, and even with some clauses, the maximum compensation is more than 200,000 US dollars.
This number is sufficient for most Americans whose savings are only a few hundred or thousands, but it is completely insufficient for the top wealthy class.
Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of wealth, the richer you are, the more you need to invest the cash in your hands and convert it into bonds, real estate, stocks, and other things that are easier to maintain and liquidate.
Even if Kaos acquires a bank by itself, such an operation is essential, because the bank it acquires is just a safer transfer station, allowing you to control risks.
After all, no one can guarantee that the bank they control will not go bankrupt one day. If you put cash in your own bank, it will also be liquidated. Under supervision, it is impossible to allow you to use your part of the deposit
Turn away.
The role of banks for consortiums is more to facilitate financing and loan channels, rather than the role of safes. The real insurance is ultimately bonds, real estate, and stocks. As long as they do not fall into pieces, they are always safer than banks, and eggs are not
Putting it in a basket will also make this safety factor infinitely magnified.
This is also the reason why real estate prices in New York and Washington continued to rise during the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008. That is because a considerable amount of capital used money originally from banks and the stock market to invest in high-quality real estate in these areas.
However, the quantity of this kind of high-quality real estate is always limited, so when the economic situation is not good, even if it is a negative interest rate government bond, it is still necessary to rush to buy it. After all, losing some money is safer than banks or other places.
This is the trouble of the rich. The wealth in their hands must be transferred all the time, looking for profitable and safe places to invest, and constantly chasing to surpass the range of inflation and currency depreciation. Every night is an astronomical loss.
On the contrary, ordinary people do not have such worries. After all, the little cash in their hands will depreciate twice as much as the rich people.
"I didn't expect that you would also be the winner of the war."
When Kaos finished the phone call and looked across the desk, Julia put her fingers on her chin slightly, tapped her fingers on the table, and spoke very seriously.
"It's just a normal securities transaction. You really can't have money in front of you but not put it in your own pocket."
Kaos rolled his eyes at Julia's words, but he didn't want to talk to her about the arms company's stocks, so he directly changed the subject and asked: "About the Emperor's matters
,Can the agreement be signed?"
Although Kaos is one of Disney's largest shareholders, Kaos has little involvement in the group's affairs and only holds a board seat.
Originally, I wanted to give the role to Nicole Kidman, but unfortunately she had no interest and instead recommended Julia to take the role. After all, when she was filming "The Grudge", she expressed her intention to move behind the scenes.
.
Kaos agreed to this. This time, Kaos informed Disney CEO Michael Eisner about his idea of investing in Emperor, and the other party readily agreed. After all, it was only US$15 million.
little things.
It was just that Kaos did not expect that the negotiation team sent by the other party would be led by Julia. However, after thinking about it carefully, he understood that Michael was a good person who would do his best to the end. He sent Buddha to the West and handed over the matter with full authority.
Here in Kaos.
In this regard, Kaos could only make a phone call to express his affirmation of Michael's work ability and said that the company would continue to support him in the future, which could be regarded as reciprocating the favor.
"The details and some rights and interests have been negotiated, and the news will be announced tomorrow. The specific signing ceremony will be next week."
For this kind of negotiation, although she is the leader, in the end it is Kaos who controls the overall situation. More detailed issues are handled by professional lawyers, and she will not be used.
Julia, who felt very bored, finished answering Kaos, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and then said listlessly: "After the signing ceremony, I plan to go to the mainland to look for crystals, and by the way, I will visit this ancient city.
Let’s travel around the country, do you want to go with us then?”
"No, I still have some things to deal with, and I don't have much time at the moment."
