Chapter 471 (1/2)

On Janet's birthday, the couple flew to Miami together.

Taking advantage of the downturn of the real estate industry in the United States, Janet bought a 6 hectare waterfront land in North Palm Beach of Miami last year. The land is located in a high-end wealthy area, with golf course in the north, private beach in the East and a forest park in the south, which is a golden area.

If it wasn't for the cold winter of the real estate industry that the developers had to cut back on their development plans, and the buyer was Simon westrow, who could bring great fame to the rich area, this plot, which is enough to build seven or eight luxury houses, would not be sold in packages.

Even so, only the transaction price of the six hectares of land has reached US $10 million.

Janet plans to invest another 20 million US dollars to build a waterfront villa. The main villa started last year, and the whole villa will be completed in the second half of next year.

As a transition, Janet also bought a 1.5-acre mansion next to the manor, which is planned to be directly incorporated into the manor after the completion of the manor.

Because the news of Simon buying a property in this rich area came out, only in the past year, the surrounding house prices have increased by 20%.

Several properties around Simon manor have become the target of many people's rush to buy, and the quotation even exceeds the average house price of the rich area. Smart developers also take the properties around Simon manor as signboards, and hope to sell them to more rich celebrities, so as to further enhance the popularity of this rich area.

Shopping, fishing, partying Janet has a colorful holiday schedule from Friday to Sunday.

The couple returned to New York on Monday, March 16.

Sophia fishy hasn't left yet.

Sophia's offer to CK on Saturday was US $50 million, of which US $40 million was used to buy 55% of the shares held by CK shareholders, and US $10 million was injected into CK as a loan to ease the cash flow pressure of the company.

In addition, Sofia also promised that after the completion of the acquisition of CK, melisandro company and the whole westero system will provide the company with channel, legal, marketing and other resources to help CK quickly reverse the dilemma and further develop.

In addition to family infighting, many of the problems faced by CK at this time are similar to the original Gucci, and the rapid rise of Gucci can be seen by everyone.

Sofia offered a low price, but it was not harsh. It also reserved 45% of CK's shares for other shareholders to appreciate in the future.

As a result, although only 24 hours were given for consideration, Calvin Klein, the founder of CK, and the company's board of directors accepted melisandro's offer at the last minute after several unsuccessful attempts.

The news of the deal made an important page in the New York Times on Monday.

After Gucci, Chateau Latour and van clenburg, melisandro once again pocketed a well-known luxury brand and continued to take a step further towards the goal of a comprehensive luxury group.

CK is not a public company.

However, with the announcement of the news, the bankruptcy haze over CK has been swept away, and the media from all sides have reported that even the sales of CK products have increased significantly. The attitude of the brand licensors who have been entangled with CK has also eased down. Although they are more reluctant to let go of the licensing, they are willing to make corresponding concessions in terms of licensing fees.

Simon did not return to the west coast this week, but joined Janet in cersei capital's next phase of development planning.

First, cersei, a hedge fund.

After the completion of the operation of the oil market last year, cersei fund management company faced a problem of ”transformation”.

In order to avoid possible targeting of the whole westrow system, cersei fund management company will try to reduce the macro hedging that may affect a country's economy.

In fact, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, cersei's analysts predicted a reshuffle of the European monetary system.

In 1979, led by Germany and France, the eight countries of the European community established a European monetary system to fight against the US dollar. This system established a relatively fixed exchange rate exchange mechanism according to the strength of the countries at that time. Britain, which had always been ”independent”, did not announce its accession until 1990.

However, after the merger of East and West Germany, Germany's economic strength has greatly increased. It is very unfair for Germany to continue to maintain the original exchange rate system. In order to attract the British to join the European monetary system two years ago, the exchange rate of the pound was obviously overvalued, which created a strong imbalance that needed to be reshuffled.

Of course, Britain, which has taken advantage, certainly does not want to reshuffle the cards, which requires some external forces to promote.

In the original time and space, Soros's quantum fund launched an attack on the pound in September 1992, which ended with the sharp depreciation of the pound, Italian lira, Spanish peseta and other European currencies.Soros made a net profit of US $1 billion in this currency sniping, which made him famous in the first World War. Quantum funds and other hedge funds involved in sniping the pound are also making a lot of money.

On the other hand, the result is that Britain withdrew from the European monetary system after the pound crisis, the European community suffered heavy losses, and the status of the US dollar was further strengthened.

Not to mention the deep-seated power game involved in this, cersei capital, with Simon's advantage as a prophet, can now lay out the European currencies ahead of time and slowly establish short positions in the pound, lira and other currencies that are bound to plummet.

However, the westero system is not as pure as the quantum fund. Once it is done, cersei capital may make a lot of money. However, the whole westero system will definitely encounter hostility and targeting from European countries in the future. In the future, other businesses will not be able to do well.

Therefore, after reading the relevant reports of cersei capital analysts, Simon personally said that cersei capital would not be allowed to participate in this operation.

With quantum funds in the front, cersei capital won't attract much attention even if it makes a profit from small and medium-sized enterprises. However, there is no need to dip into oil for the sake of some residual soup and water.

Of course, the most important thing is that cersei fund management company has a more appropriate goal.

Technology stocks!

The wave of new technology with the Internet as the core has risen ahead of time. Recently, the stock prices of new technology companies such as Microsoft, Intel, Oracle, Cisco and AOL are rising rapidly. However, according to the information in memory, Simon is very clear that the stock prices are far from reaching the craziest moment.

Therefore, now is definitely the best time to enter the market and do long US technology stocks.

In the original time and space, Tiger Fund, which followed quantum fund to kill all sides in Southeast Asia in 1997, went into liquidation in the following two years because of bets on shorting technology stocks. Tens of billions of US dollars lost more than 80% in just two years. Hedge fund is a kind of zero sum game. In fact, the case of liquidation of old tiger fund also proves the necessity of long technology stock market at that time How profitable hedge funds are.
