Chapter 643 Luxury Brands

In recent years, Mike Aller has been purchasing various artworks for Yang Jing. His figure has been appearing in major auctions in Europe and the United States. Every time he appears at an auction, he will inevitably spend millions or even tens of millions of dollars, from auctions to auctions, including various precious artworks and collections, including sculptures to oil paintings, to classical furniture, jewelry, and famous watches.

It is precisely because Mike Aller kept spending huge sums of money to buy art and collectibles like a bank that his name has spread throughout Europe and the United States.

But Mike Aller has always maintained a very low-key attitude, and it is difficult for the outside world to understand how he made his fortune. But there are also smart people who have guessed that this old man should be the spokesperson of a big man, otherwise he was just an accountant before, and it would not be possible that he would have thrown down more than one billion US dollars from major auctions in Europe and the United States in the past seven or eight years.

The US dollar in this era is still quite valuable. Before 1987, Sam Walton, the richest man in the United States, was the founder of Walmart, had a net worth of only more than 6 billion US dollars, while Warren Buffett, who often ranks in the top three in the wealth list in later generations, had a net worth of only 20 to 30 billion US dollars at this time.

One billion US dollars is enough to enter the top 50 of the Fortune 400 in the United States in this era!

In other words, in the past seven or eight years, the dollars Mike Aller threw out at major auctions is enough to make a person the top 50 super richest man in the United States.

So, although Mike Aller has always maintained a low-key attitude, his name is almost everyone in the top rich people in Europe and the United States.

As ky investment fund began to emerge in the United States, Mike Aller's identity was finally known by a small number of people. This old man who had never been revealed before was actually the second largest shareholder of ky investment fund.

This is quite amazing. With the current financial resources of ky investment funds, it is definitely the largest investment fund in the world. When hedge funds are not as popular as in later generations, an investment fund can now have 3 billion US dollars of funds, which is considered a large fund.

Being the second largest shareholder of ky investment fund is enough to shock many people.

This matter was personally negotiated with Giuliani, and he was definitely the best candidate.

Yang Jing did not want to continue to mess with Giuliani. After all, Giuliani has been in the American judicial world for so long, and it is deeply rooted to describe a person like him. If he breaks up with such a person, although Yang Jing is not afraid, there is really no need.

What Yang Jing hopes is that after seeing these evidences that are enough to keep him in prison for decades, Giuliani can be honest and stop staring at ky investment funds like a stinky fly.

As long as you no longer focus on ky investment funds, I will not publish this evidence to the public.

This is a very simple deal. I believe Giuliani's intelligence will know how to choose.

Mike Aller was an activist. After he decided that he would come forward to solve the problem, he immediately took action. What the house said now about the development of the ky investment fund was not attractive to Mike Aller, so he immediately walked out of the house and began to investigate the evidence.

After Mike Aller walked out, the small meeting between several people continued.

"Boss, the Hartford German Ministries and Arlington Trust that you told me to pay attention to when you left last time. My acquisition team has started to contact them. Now it seems that the contact is still quite good. Whether it is Hartford German Ministries or Arlington Trust, I like us to join the competition. If the Boston Consortium wants to acquire these two companies, it will be beneficial for them to raise prices. However, the people in the Boston Consortium are not happy." Henry said.

Yang Jing pondered for a moment and said, "No matter they! We currently have financial advantages, and the Boston Consortium's sphere of influence is not in New York, so we don't need to be afraid of them. It doesn't matter if the price is raised. As long as we can quickly win these two companies, I don't care even if it's a 30% premium."

To form a consortium, this was the plan that Yang Jing had planned for a long time, but Yang Jing did not dare to implement this plan before. Later, after the Holy Ring was promoted to full body, Yang Jing specifically consulted the Holy Rings. He took action to acquire Hartford German Civil Company and Arlington Trust to trigger a space-time paradox. The Holy Rings clearly told him that it would, but as long as it was not his own actions, but by the people below, this level of space-time paradox would not pose any threat to Yang Jing with the energy that the Holy Rings now evolved to the highest level.

It is precisely because of the exact answer of the Holy Ring that Yang Jing dared to let go of his hands and feet to build his planned consortium.

Although the impact of the time and space paradox caused by this will greatly consume the energy of the holy ring, at most, it is just a matter of replenishing energy for the holy ring. Anyway, there are so many treasures in my hand that have not been absorbed. In the future, I will persist in finding the legendary treasures, and I also have a way to use oil fields to replenish energy, so my buddy doesn’t care about the energy consumption!

As long as the time and space paradox caused is not too severe and does not erase yourself instantly at once, then you will be afraid of nothing!

Hearing Yang Jing’s words so domineering, Amanda Pitrus on the side smiled and said, “Boss, since you have such a decision, let’s see how we deal with the large amount of surplus funds at hand.”

After a pause, Amanda continued: "Boss, most of our profits from the stock market crash last year remained abroad, and most of them have entered the financial market in Japan. However, although Japan's stock market is currently the largest market capitalization in the world, the funds it can accommodate are limited after all. In addition, the rapid revival of the Japanese stock market has attracted a lot of international hot money to enter the Japanese market, which has led to our funds not being able to enter the financial market in Japan. Therefore, we still have about less than 20 billion US dollars of funds to stay in Europe. It is best not to stay in bank accounts for a long time. The inflation rate is very fast. We have to find a way to spend the money."

Yang Jing nodded and said, "This is simple, but it's just a matter of spending money."

Henry smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, we want to spend money hard, but you have to give us a goal, right?"

"This is not simple? In addition to the list of companies that I asked you to invest in, you can also invest in other potential companies! British American Resources Group, Mercedes-Benz Automobile Company, UK BP, you can make the decision to invest in companies outside these lists! You are my executives, and I need you to have independent subjectivity and don't point everything at me. You can make the decision on some things yourself."

Yang Jing's words made Henry and David a little ashamed.

"I know your task is heavy enough, so you can recruit some people to join the ky investment fund. So, you can make a list for me first, and I will help you select some capable subordinates."

After a pause, Yang Jing seemed to remember something, and said after a moment of pondering: "You will pay attention to those European luxury brands during this period and conduct an acquisition evaluation. If the conditions are appropriate, I plan to acquire some luxury brands..."

"Luxury brand?" Henry asked in surprise.

"Well, that's right, it's a luxury brand." Yang Jing said with certainty.

"Boss, why do you think of acquiring a luxury brand?" David Anderson, who had not spoken much, asked curiously.

"It's nothing. I just think the luxury goods industry seems a bit messy now. Look at Gucci, which is a mess. There seems to be no bottom line in competition among some watch brands in Switzerland. These luxury goods brands are not easy to cultivate, but it is very easy to ruin a brand. It is precisely because of the current situation in the luxury goods industry that I wonder if we can set up a group that specializes in luxury brands, and then try to acquire more luxury brands, so that these luxury brands that we usually fight together, and then customize different development routes for them according to the different customers targeted by these brands. Anyway, we have a lot of spare money now, so I want to try it."

Of course, Yang Jing cannot tell them that a large part of the luxury brands that are fighting each other will soon be acquired by a luxury brand that has risen in recent years. After more than ten years of integration and running-in, a huge luxury group was finally formed, with a market value of over 100 billion US dollars. This is Louis Moodhem.

In addition to Louis Moore, Richemont Group will also be established this year. Although Paris Spring has not finally formed the final Kering Group, it has also had a strategy of group combat.

In a few years, the competition pattern of three major luxury groups will be formed around the world. If we include the Swiss Swatch Group established in the 20th century, it will be the global luxury market where the four major luxury groups share. Other small brands will almost no longer stand in the luxury market. Now is a good time to intervene in the luxury group!

Of course, in order not to trigger an excessively time-space paradox, Yang Jing acquired these luxury brands not to establish a luxury group by himself, but to use these brands to enter the market. For example, using the brands he acquired, he became the major shareholder of luxury groups such as Louis Moodch and Richemont Group...

Using this method to intervene in luxury brands is obviously easier than acquiring shares from these major groups, and the price will be even lower!

Hearing Yang Jing say this, several people nodded, and they still agree with the boss's idea.

But Henry asked: "Boss, your idea is very good, but none of us are proficient in luxury goods."

Yang Jing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We have to intervene in the luxury goods industry anyway, so we might as well find an expert in this field to join the ky investment fund first."

"Boss, have anyone chosen?"

Yang Jing nodded slightly. As a person who traveled from later generations to this era, it is too easy to find several excellent luxury brand managers in this era...
