Chapter 712 Another year of Forbes (5) (repair)
October 17th is another new week.
In a townhouse on 72nd Street, Upper East Side, near Lesington Avenue, the Spultes family, who have recently moved their new home, are having breakfast.
The husband first proposed the proposal. Grace Spurt did not agree at first. Both of the couple's careers were just revived and they were not financially prosperous. However, after Bill Spurt listed the couple's series of advantages in expanding their connections and children's education after the move, the woman still agreed.
The house is temporarily rented.
In fact, if the Greenwich Village property was sold, and the couple's credit line increased significantly in the bank at this time, it would not be unreliable to purchase property directly in the Upper East Side. This time Grace refused to agree.
In that apartment in Greenwich, Grace hopes to leave it to two children.
New York City's real estate has a high value preservation. If you sell it now and want to buy it in the future, it is hard to say what the price will be.
On the dining table.
The topic was unconsciously attracted to the Forbes list that everyone has been hotly discussed recently.
Especially some young tycoon on the top list.
Grace gave her son beside her a bowl of sweet soup. After listening to her husband's analysis of how terrifying Cersei's hidden strength was, she asked with a smile: "Then, how much money does Simon Westeros have?"
Women are born to be good at disguising.
Bill Spurt felt that his wife was not close to or alienated with a certain name, and was inexplicably worried about gains and losses, but he said quickly: "This is really hard to say, but $300 billion is definitely a serious undervalued. We are recently bidding for the additional issuance project of a communications technology company invested in a few years ago in Westeros. The company was named Qualcomm. It was listed in 1992. Due to the rise of the mobile communications industry, Qualcomm's current market value reached US$2.9 billion. Westeros holds 17% of the shares, and the value of this batch of stocks is US$490 million. Guess, how much did Westeros spend to get this batch of stocks four years ago?"
Grace pretended to think for a while and said, "$100 million?"
Bill Spurt shook his head and directly revealed the mystery: "35 million, four years, has increased by 14 times."
Rita Spurt, who was sitting next to his father, sighed: "So amazing, dad, is there anything special about this company?"
The meal time at the Spult House was not that active in the past.
Since the past six months, the Spurts' career has revived, and the couple's female character has also changed a lot. Grace can clearly feel that her daughter is more active and confident than before. 16-year-old Rita Spurts successfully entered the famous Dalton Middle School in the Upper East Side this fall. Not to mention the girl herself, even the Spurts and the Spurts used to never think about this century-old school.
Of course, only Grace herself knew that the reason why her daughter was able to enter this top private middle school in Manhattan was actually because she secretly called a little man.
Bill Spurt smiled at his daughter and said, "Rita's problem happens to be the key to the matter. We recently conducted a survey on Qualcomm, guess what the result is?"
Rita Spurter rolled his eyes immediately.
Grace also smiled, glanced at her son who was listening carefully, and signaled him to have a meal quickly.
Bill Spurt also realized that the stuttering he sold was a bit jumping, explaining: "We found that this Qualcomm has almost monopolized the patents of the third-generation digital communication technology in advance. The industry predicts that the scale of the global mobile communication industry may reach trillions of dollars in the future. It has monopolized a company that has a generation of technology patents. Even if it only relies on patent licensing fees, its annual input may reach billions of dollars in the future. The current market value of US$2.9 billion is just the beginning."
Grace couldn't help but think of a little man, but asked: "The patent barrier should be around, right? Will so many communication giants be willing to pay billions of dollars in patent fees to a small company?"
Bill Spurt said: "If you want to bypass it, of course it is not impossible. However, Qualcomm's technology is almost the best solution for the third generation of digital communications. To bypass it, it will not only cost a lot, but it cannot be better than Qualcomm. Just like there is already a Suez Canal, which can be passed by paying a few thousand dollars. Do you think there will be someone spending billions of dollars to dig another canal that takes longer and longer routes?"
Grace nodded.
Bill Spurt returned to his wife's question just now: "Because Qualcomm went public, we can know that Westeros has invested in such a company with huge growth potential in advance. However, Westeros has invested in many companies with the same growth potential in recent years. These companies that have not yet been listed are worth the value of these companies. Unless the Westeros system is proactively disclosed, outsiders cannot know it, so it is impossible to truly understand Westeros's assets. Take the most conspicuous Egret Company now for example. Because of the explosion of the Internet industry, our analyst team judges that Egret's performance growth this year may be higher than last year. Even if it is listed immediately now, with Egret's super high growth potential, this may be another giant with a market value of 100 billion US dollars. Therefore, now only Cisco, American Online, Egret and Daenerys, four companies, can actually support Simon Westeros's net worth of $300 billion."
Ray Spurt listened to his father's words and asked at the end: "Dad, what does 300 billion US dollars mean?"
Recently, Grace is also a little curious about this number.
Bill Spurt obviously thought about this question and said, "It depends on who is in the hands of such a wealth. If it were the oil tycoons in the Middle East, $300 billion would be just a room full of gold for them. The dining table is made of gold, the toilet is made of gold, and the wall is made of gold, showing the whole world that they are very rich and rich, and then there is no more, and no one will allow them to have more. However, for Simon Westeros, he is quickly and efficiently converting the money he has into real power that can control the United States and the world. Power is actually the ultimate display of capital."
Ray Spurt could feel the enthusiasm and yearning in his father's eyes when he said these words, but he, a 15-year-old boy, could not understand these things after all.
Bill Spurt knew it was not suitable to explain it to the children more deeply, but he still couldn't help it. He continued: "Just like the dispute between the Westeros system and the Hurst family in the first half of the year, Simon Westeros used his strong capital strength to almost destroy the Hirst family with a century of history. In addition, the subsequent Westeros system won over other old media families in the federal government. As a result, with the use of both kindness and power, the Westeros system has greatly controlled the federal media industry. In the future, what you can see and what you can't see in the media will have the influence of the Westeros system."
Grace noticed the thoughtful expression of her daughter across the dining table, and looked at her son next to her who was also digesting her father's words. She decisively interrupted her husband's intention to continue with her eyes, and said to her son: "Okay, Lei, drink the soup quickly. I don't want you to be late just as the new week begins."
After breakfast, Bill Spulter's driver had parked downstairs in a rented townhouse in Spulter.
Grace personally sent her husband out. Before leaving, she saw the man coming over habitually. She did not refuse, but turned her head slightly and only let the man kiss her cheek.
The children didn't know that their parents had quietly separated their rooms and slept after they moved into this villa.
The cause of the incident was not because of the secret relationship between Grace and Simon, but on Bill Spult.
Half a month ago, at a party inside Boston, the Spurts and his wife attended together. As a result, a young girl suddenly appeared during the party and protested and provoked Grace. Looking at her husband's reaction at the time, how Grace still didn't understand what was going on.
Afterwards, facing her husband's uneasy and guilt and even a vague fear, Grace did not react fiercely, but just warned the other party that she had to solve the problem within three days. She did not want the reputation of the Spult family and the life of the family to be affected by a woman who suddenly appeared.
As a result, I was entangled by a woman who was not short of scheming and it was so easy to solve it.
The other party asked for $1 million before leaving Bill Spurt, and also accompanied by an exceptional promotion from Boston.
Grace almost laughed when she heard the news.
What angered is the husband's incompetence and what a laughs at the courage of a certain girl.
This is impossible to bother a little man, but he actually gave her some connections quietly.
In just two days, the investment bank girl who tried to step on her superiors was caught by the FBI. The charge was not for extortion, but for drug trafficking.
Not a false accusation.
Investment Bank Girls do have a secret identity, actually the boyfriend of a drug dealer.
In the United States, drug trafficking is actually not a serious crime, but if the matter is exposed, the girl will never appear on Wall Street again.
After receiving some hints, the investment bank girl signed a confidentiality agreement and agreed to leave Dakaizi whom she just caught. The police also changed their attitude and provided the other party with an opportunity to serve as a witness and not be prosecuted.
Of course, a real boyfriend who is a girl who is very good at work and has a generous private income is completely unlucky.
After solving this, Grace and her husband made it open and honest. Because of the child, she would not divorce him, but he must ensure that his family will no longer be subject to similar harassment in the future.
Bill Spurt guaranteed.
His wife did not say what would happen like this again, but Spurt was able to predict that through this incident, he even understood that his wife could even make him have nothing again.
Then, the couple quietly began to separate rooms.
Bill Spurt was not much disappointed about this.
The more I entered the upper class, the more I found that similar situations around me were very common. The most typical example is that the couple in the White House are actually the apparent couple who everyone knows. In recent years, the Clintons and the others have been working together to enter the White House. In recent months, the President has been deeply entangled in the Paula Jones sexual assault scandal. In order to express their support, the family often posts family photos in the media in a harmonious manner.
After all, it was a couple for many years, how could Bill Spurt not feel some changes in his wife?
However, as a small person, he had been wasting so many years on Wall Street, surrounded by money and power, and Bill Spulter knew very well why he could suddenly get everything he has now.
In the past, people who went bankrupt or lost their jobs in economic turmoil chose to stop being too fragile, and truly embarked on the road to power and tried it. Bill Spurt felt that even if he jumped from the World Trade Center, he would not want to fall into the dust again.
It's totally worth it to pay for something.
Therefore, after something was resolved, Bill Spurt really listened to his wife's warning.
During this period, even though he had already divided his wife privately, he did not provoke other women. Some things, compared to the unexpected career he had spent half his life before he could even go further, were really not that important.
As for a young man who was tall and arrogant, Bill Spurt dared not forget it.
Although the additional issuance of Qualcomm's stock is still in the bidding stage of several investment banks, Bill Spurt's team was definitely not accidentally exposed to this project. Some information on the dining table was actually from a private message from Simon Westero's personal assistant office.
Simon Westeros was obviously quietly supporting himself, and Bill Spurt did not doubt the accuracy of some predictions in that data.
With the information in hand, Bill Spurt has developed a bid plan with his team that he is determined to win. This plan may be criticized by some too radical in the short term, but as long as Qualcomm's development can be as expected, this bid will become his qualification for promotion in the future. All investors who have obtained Qualcomm's shares through this additional issuance will not forget who brought them the money-making opportunities.
Wall Street, that's the final analysis.
Whoever can bring benefits to investment banks and investors will be sought after by God.
After seeing off her husband, she arranged for a maid and driver she had hired at home to drive her two children to school. Grace drove to Elite headquarters in the middle city.
The fashion season has entered its last Milan Fashion Week.
The three pillars under Grace's name were all in Italy at this time, but she did not follow her. Elite had established a new media operation department with Grace's full responsibility for various affairs, which was much more important than simply accompanying three girls to Milan to participate in the catwalk.
Arriving at Elite headquarters and just arrived at the door of her office, Grace saw her assistant Michelle stopping a girl from letting her break into her office.
Grace approached, the girl who was arguing with Michelle noticed something, turned around and turned it into Karen Mudd.
When she got three Victoria's Secret Angels from Simon, Grace recommended this lip-enhancing girl who did not meet the preferences of a little man, but she ignored her.
The fashion season is still continuing, but this supermodel, who was sought after in the past few years, stayed in New York, and you can imagine how he was at this time.
Chapter completed!
