The helicopter landed in a seaside manor at the easternmost end of East Hampton. David Rubinstein, the head of the Carlyle Group, got off the helicopter, and subconsciously erected the collar of the windbreaker in the cold wind brought by the wings, and looked around. The manor is surrounded by all kinds of evergreen plants, and even the lawn under his feet is still green. There is no desolation in many other luxury houses in the Hampton area in winter. Even if he is not poor at all, he still can't help but give birth. A bit of hatred for the rich.

There is money behind the maintenance of such a manor.

And, this is just one of many estates in the Hamptons of Westeros. There have been media reports that just because of someone's own large-scale purchases, housing prices in many popular wealthy areas across the United States have skyrocketed in recent years.

Two uniformed Wei family maids came over, David Rubinstein quickly put away these thoughts, simply greeted one of the tall girls from Eastern Europe, and followed the other party to the English-style villa not far away. go.

Entering the warm spring villa, David Rubinstein was taking off his thick trench coat and handing it to a lady, when a faint laughter of women came.

Apparently more than one.

Curious in the heart, after all, can only be curious.

He was taken to a reception room next to the hall, and the Eastern European girl delivered the coffee herself, explaining that her boss was changing clothes and would arrive soon.

Of course, David Rubinstein had no objection. He had come a few minutes earlier.

Simon appeared quickly, wearing a beige long-sleeved T-shirt and khaki trousers, with slippers on his feet, and his hair was still a little wet. It was not difficult to imagine what the other party was doing just now, and Rubinstein couldn't help but imagine the interior of the villa. The possible fragrance of spring in the bath.

Damn super rich!

After greeting, the two just sat down on the sofa when the Eastern European girl appeared again, followed by another waitress, holding towels and slippers in her hands, walked to her boss and gestured for the towel in her hand, and said softly: " Boss, Ms. Davis said it's easy to catch a cold, and the lady will be very angry."

Simon nodded.

The Eastern European girl walked behind her boss and gently dried the man's hair with a towel. Another waitress came to Simon's feet and knelt down, took off the plastic slippers on his feet, and dried them with a towel first. , put on a pair of cotton slippers that I just brought in.

David Rubinstein waited for the two waitresses to finish these things and left, his heart was numb, and he was a little suspicious of life. I have spent most of the last month as a trapeze man. During my short sleep for a few hours every day, I never forget to think about the company's affairs in my dreams. As a result, it is not all about helping others' wealth and gentleness, right?

Simon didn't have the time to ponder the complicated thoughts of the fund manager. When the two of Carmen left, he asked directly, "How is the result of this trip to China?"

Today is Sunday, November 17th.

In the past week, David Rubinstein returned to China again and officially started the negotiation of some investment projects.

After listening to Simon's question, David Rubinstein quickly cheered up, took out a stack of documents from the briefcase he was carrying, handed one of the black folders to Simon, opened his memo, and said, "It went well. , we have hired Goldman Sachs team as financial advisor this time, and have already started to conduct financial review and asset restructuring of XCMG. In addition, in the joint venture negotiation of Sany Heavy Industry, 35% of the shares have been basically finalized, and currently only the investment amount is being seen. The Liugong Group in Guangxi Province that was selected by the boss last time has received very positive feedback."

XCMG and Sany are the targets chosen by Rubinstein for his trip to China in October, and this time they are officially promoted.

Liugong Group is a company that Simon agreed with Chen Qing's plan to raise Gu, and personally finalized it. In addition to the main company ranking in the forefront of the industry in memory, there is another reason that Simon occupies a place in Yangshuo. Shantou, I have been looking forward to it for a few years, and I always want to give back to a big project.

Since it is necessary to raise Gu, the three families are of course not enough, but it is useless to rush in this aspect, and it must be taken slowly.

Simon looked at the information in his hand and asked, "How is your team's contact with the Perkins engine company in the UK?"

David Rubinstein said: "I have formed an investigative team to start collecting data on Perkins Engines, and if all goes well, we can launch early next year."

Perkins Engine Company is a world-renowned diesel engine company, and for many construction machinery, diesel engines are also the top priority. China has been able to produce its own engines at this stage, but many high-power construction machinery engines still need to be imported.

This also involves another strategy for the layout of the construction machinery industry in the Westeros system.

At the beginning, according to everyone's assumptions, it was hoped that Carlyle's funds would be the leading factor to introduce overseas construction machinery technology into China to boost the development of related industries.

During this period of time, I tried to contact and found that it didn't work.

At this stage, the heavy industry enterprises in Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States basically have a layout in China, but at the same time, they are basically not optimistic about the development of related industries in China.

As for the reason, it is still the arrogance and prejudice in the bones. This kind of arrogance and prejudice is even worse in North America. The major construction machinery giants in the Federation, so far, only Caterpillar has set up branches in China. Others such as Case, Deere , Dresser and other companies, either have not yet set foot in, or are just dispensable sales companies.

Since Carlyle is not optimistic, Carlyle took the initiative to pay for the front station. These companies have some technology, so it should be a good plan, right?

Or not.

Even for some second- and third-tier construction machinery companies that are unable to make ends meet, during Carlyle's contact process, they are basically asking for high prices while keeping the broom, and the conditions they offer are difficult to accept.

Simon also felt for the first time the profound contradiction between American financial capital and industrial capital that was doomed to be irreconcilable.

In this case, Simon, who has been following this matter personally for a while, decided to change his strategy after discussing it with the Carlyle team.

The first is China.

Continue the layout, or acquire, or invest in shares, first use the money to open the way, after all, construction machinery is not an automotive industry with several levels higher than technical requirements, as long as there is a template, there is no shortage of funds, with China's own research and development capabilities, most products can be done gradually.

Second, of course, there are things that can’t be done. Then, if China lacks anything, Carlyle will help to buy it.

The British Perkins Engine Company is the first target Carlyle takes a fancy to.

Most of the construction machinery uses diesel engines. China has been able to produce diesel engines for a long time, but the technical level is difficult to meet the needs of many construction machinery. This is the shortcoming of most construction machinery giants in China.

On the other hand, compared with the United States, the heavy industry in the United Kingdom has declined even more, and it has been constantly selling over the years, which gave Carlyle a chance.

Moreover, the market value of Perkins Engine Company is currently only about 1 billion US dollars, and even if the premium that may be encountered by the acquisition is counted, it will never exceed 1.5 billion US dollars.

Simon has only prepared 1 billion US dollars for investment in China's construction machinery field. Now it costs more than 1 billion US dollars for an engine company, which seems a bit uneconomical.

Of course this is not the case.

First of all, the money is certainly not borne by the Westeros system.

Simon's current capital layout goal basically focuses on penetration and control through sharing, and does not pursue complete interests. Therefore, Simon only intends to occupy 30% to 50% of the equity in each project.

Secondly, Perkins Engine Company is still the engine supplier of many large construction machinery giants in the world such as Caterpillar. It is only because it is in the ceiling state of the industry and the environment is not good, the current operating conditions are somewhat Unsatisfactory.

According to the proposed plan, after buying the company, Carlyle will close the expensive factories of Perkins Engine Company in the United Kingdom and the United States and transfer manufacturing to China, in order to greatly reduce production costs, and at the same time, on the basis of the original sales network. Develop new customers in China.

When this company is revived, whether it is continued to hold or re-listed for cash, it will be a very cost-effective business, and it will also assist the layout of the Chinese construction machinery industry in the Westeros system.

This is of course an ideal state.

However, due to cost reasons, related industries have shifted to China, which is the overall trend in the global construction machinery field.

It is expected that after the millennium, global construction machinery giants will flock to China one after another. What Simon is doing now is to make arrangements in advance and take the lead. At that time, when other giants reacted, the Westeros system has been able to establish an industrial barrier through its own layout, and try to divide as much of the dividends of this part of the industry as possible.

Simon carefully flipped through the information in his hand while discussing various details with Rubinstein. Before he knew it, half an hour had passed.

As the meeting was almost over, Simon closed the folder he had flipped through twice and said to Rubinstein: "One more thing, you know that I have a lot of investments in Ukraine. The heavy industry base is actually very strong, and a large part of it has been inherited by Ukraine. I want you to contact my head Celia Miller in Ukraine, and recently set up a team to collect the technology and talents we need in Ukraine, and then transfer Go to China. Just like the Black Sea Shipyard in Odessa, as the aircraft carrier manufacturing base of the former Soviet Union, the port machinery involved will be very useful to XCMG, which we are negotiating, and can even become our bargaining chips. The mining machinery in Donetsk, in short, you operate these yourself, I only see the results."

David Rubinstein also knew the general details behind the recent Sherban assassination. Hearing Simon's words, the fund manager's eyes lit up. Digging the corners of the former Soviet Union, the former Soviet Union's construction machinery technology, the Federation is not despised, but it is more than enough to use in China.

However, just as he was about to nod his head, David Rubinstein reacted and said, "Simon, Black Sea Shipyard, involving warships and aircraft carriers, this matter is a bit sensitive, and Washington may intervene."

Simon, of course, understood Rubinstein's suggestion and said: "Dragging Washington is what you are good at, and, the big deal, we only collect what can be transferred to China, and we will not touch what can't be touched."

David Rubinstein thought about it too, nodded and said, "Then I will contact Ms. Miller later."

The topic has come to an end here.

David Rubinstein sorted it out, confirmed that nothing was missing, and got up to leave.

Simon sent Rubinstein out of the villa, remembered one thing, and asked, "Should it be finalized for Dole to join Carlyle?"

"Dole has already agreed. However, Dole's original words are that he has been busy for decades, and he plans to cultivate for a period of time. The official entry will probably not be until next spring."

Simon nodded.

In fact, I also understand that it is more to wait for the media attention caused by the general election to completely cool down.

So pretty.

After watching Rubinstein leave by helicopter, Simon returned to the villa.

After asking Carmen who was approaching, Simon came to a living room on the second floor of the villa. Four big goblins wrapped in bathrobes were lazily scattered around the room. They were Jian Xin and Tao Yuelei, two oriental goblins, and Mr. Roberta Chilco and Anneliese Thurbert, who had just been captured by Simon and walked very close to the two girls, were either leaning on the sofa and watching TV, or sitting by the window while drinking. Flip through a magazine over a coffee while enjoying the afternoon sun, or cuddle on a sofa with a throw pillow and close your eyes.

Seeing Simon's appearance, the goblins regained their spirits again.

Tao Yuelei also woke up Jian Xin who was sleeping.

Simon walked to the middle of the couch and sat down, put his arms around Tao Yuelei, kissed the girl on the cheek, and looked at Jian Xin, who had woken up in confusion on the other side.

"boring?"

Jian Xin twisted her body, pillowed on Simon's lap, shook her head slightly, and looked at the man with a rosy face: "No."

It can't be said that he was tossed too hard by a guy in the indoor bath downstairs just before the guest came to visit.

tired.

Moreover, although only a few times, Jian Xin discovered one thing, men like to mess with a group of girls, but in a group, they like to pick one to bully.

She was the unlucky one today.

Roberta and Anilise also got up from the window and walked over. Anilise was sitting next to Tao Yuelei. Roberta saw that Jian Xin had taken up one side of the sofa, so she sat down at the man's feet and raised her petite body. Face: "Simon, do we have an event at night?"

"Of course, as long as you're not afraid of the cold."

Jian Xin switched back to English from the Chinese just now and said, "I'm afraid of the cold, so I won't go to those parties."

"Then you stay at home," Simon said, sliding his big hand down Roberta's petite face, and said, "I won't fight for you for that role in Terminator 3. Besides, Hollywood doesn't have your imagination. If you are worried about the future, you can make some investments now, and I can give you some advice.”

When Roberta heard the words, there was a bit of resentment on his face, but he didn't mean to insist at all, and nodded obediently.

Mainly because it was a good time.

Not only did they move into a luxury duplex apartment in Greenwich with Anilise, and they were served by maids and guards, the man also gave them a bunch of gifts, and they didn't even need to pay attention to many of the expenses in life.

After last week's Victoria's Secret show, if they wanted to go out to play, the man sent a private jet for the four of them, and swiped a credit card. Starting from New York, Hawaii, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Paris, and London went around the world. After a circle, even if I didn't want to go too far, after a circle, I also swiped hundreds of thousands of dollars, not to mention the cost of private jets.

This kind of living state of extreme luxury, where else can people have any idea of ​​struggle?

Finally, I understand why there are so many women around him, and they don't want to leave. A life more dreamy than a princess, would a fool want to leave?

As for the future.

Um.

In the future, we will talk about it in the future.
