Chapter 152 The world’s number one family is eyeing the Rockefeller Building
After the old butler returned, he swore to Charles:
"Prince, I have investigated the debt problem of the richest man Li. He has a short-term loan of US$20 billion that is about to expire. He will definitely come to your door within seven days to ask for your generosity."
"Haha, these Dongzhou monkeys are quite ambitious."
But Charles waited for seven consecutive days and saw no sign of the richest man Li, and he became furious.
The old housekeeper still looked careless when facing the prince's questioning, and he was also curious about what happened. Did the richest man Li still have money to pay off his debts?
"Prince, don't let your emotions control you. Now the enemy is strong and we are weak, so we need to wait for the opportunity."
After listening to the old butler's lesson, Charles gradually calmed down and apologized to the other party:
"I was rude just now. I can wait, but Wang Lei is buying up our country's core industries at low prices..."
He was jealous. Wang Lei now had shares in State Grid and BBC Radio. These things were not for sale before, but now Wang Lei had the opportunity to take advantage of them.
The purchase price is ridiculously low!
The old butler had another plan in mind. He whispered in Charles' ear:
"Prince, after all, Wang Lei is an outsider. His aggressive bargain hunting in Ying now will definitely arouse the fear of the old Xizhou family. You can contact them and work together to resist and exclude their family's business in Xizhou."
"Old butler, you are indeed the top think tank of the Windsor family. Yes, the Marx family and the Rothschild family have investments in the British Isles. Who is Wang Lei's turn to be the most threatening? These two families bear the brunt!"
The Marks family is a wealthy family well-known in the British Isles.
Mainly engaged in luxury clothing and food.
Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's clothes were purchased from her family's company, Marks & Spencer.
Today, their industrial layout has spread across various industries in the UK, and they are giants in the construction and high-tech industries.
The Rothschild family needs no further introduction.
A prestigious financial family in Europe and even the world.
He successively opened banks in Frankfurt, London, Paris, Vienna, Naples and other famous cities in Western Europe, establishing the largest financial kingdom in the world at that time.
After establishing his own banking industry chain, he began to support Wellington's military funds, gold mining, development of the Suez Canal, funding of railways in the Malacca Strait, development of oil, etc., and the family continued to prosper.
To this day, the world's major gold market is also controlled by them.
It is said that the Rothschild family has a wealth equivalent to 800 Bill Gates or 2000 Dad Ma. This is the truly wealthy country!
Even Charles himself did not dare to offend the Rothschilds. If Wang Lei had such an opponent, he would probably lose sleep at night.
Thinking of this, Charles was extremely excited:
"Old housekeeper, this time I personally go out to contact people from the two major families, vowing to give Wang Lei, a boy who doesn't know the heights of the world, a lesson."
The old housekeeper nodded with satisfaction. The prince was a bit dissolute by nature and was never mature enough. Wang Lei was a very good whetstone. Meeting such an opponent would make the prince grow up quickly.
What worried him was Princess Wendice's attitude towards Wang Lei.
As someone who has experienced this, he can see that the princess has strange feelings for this man. Women are numb in the face of love.
The Windsor royal family attaches great importance to blood purity, and such a guy is not a good match.
That's why he actively cooperated with Charles to take revenge on Wang Lei.
The thorn in their side, Wang Lei, was sitting in the Mitsubishi Group's Maybach business car, driving to Rockefeller Center.
After the collapse of the pound, Sakurajima's consortium also suffered greatly. They also had many overseas properties in Xizhou. They were already trapped in the real estate bubble and had to start selling off overseas assets.
The Prime Minister of Mitsubishi Land, who regarded Wang Lei as one of his own, contacted Wang Lei immediately. The first words he spoke made Wang Lei extremely excited:
"Mr. Wang, are you interested in acquiring the Rockefeller Center Building? We own 80% of their shares."
"Not much interest, but we can sit down and chat."
That's Rockefeller Center!
It is New York's second downtown after Wall Street.
Located in Manhattan, it is a massive complex of 19 commercial buildings.
Wall Street is full of business elites of all kinds during the day, but at night it is deserted, like a ghost town.
But Rockefeller's night was busy and lively.
In 89, Mitsubishi Estate acquired Rockefeller Center and owned 80% of the shares of the Rockefeller Group.
Mitsubishi Group paid US$13.73 billion for this!
According to their expectations, this is a very good investment project, and collecting rent can make Mitsubishi Land a lot of money.
In their mindset, investment in real estate only rises but never falls, and has huge potential.
It is estimated that rents will rise from $5 per foot to $75 within five years.
But in fact, the rent is less than half of what was expected, with the average rent being only about US$38.
Moreover, most of the floors are vacant and have been vacant for a long time.
Debt-ridden Mitsubishi Estate began to regret it.
Huge management expenses have left the Rockefeller Center Group with a huge financial deficit. In just three years, the debt has reached 4 million US dollars.
Their actuary once again estimated that in two years, the deficit will increase to US$8 million!
At this time, their thoughts became very extreme. A real estate bubble would erupt on Sakura Island, and of course the same would happen in Beautiful Country. They might as well stop the losses in time and sell the Rockefeller Center, which was already a huge burden, while the housing prices in Beautiful Country were still high.
So they found Wang Lei, who they regarded as the "big brother".
Yes, in the eyes of many people, Wang Lei is a taken advantage of. He collects bad loans, takes over real estate, and acquires high-tech industries with high investment and long return cycles.
Including Rockefeller Center, everyone with a discerning eye knows that Rockefeller will continue to lose money and will not be able to give away things that Wang Lei intends to acquire.
With this idea in mind, Mitsubishi Estate tried its best to receive Wang Lei.
The director of Mitsubishi Estate Beautiful Kokubashi Branch, who was dealing with Wang Lei for the first time, naively thought that Wang Lei was a tycoon with deep pockets and no brains.
As soon as the results came up, Wang Lei gave him a head-on shout.
"Mr. Wang, based on the current market price of the Meiliguo commercial complex, we hope to sell the Rockefeller Building for a total price of 15 billion."
He smiled shyly, as if Wang Lei had taken advantage of him.
Wang Lei showed a contemptuous smile and asked Liu Hu to take out stacks of documents from the password box.
The other party looked at the stack of documents with a look of death on his face:
"This is our income and expenditure for the past three years. This is our most confidential data. Mr. Wang Lei, I want an explanation. You are committing a crime!"
"Director, before I buy a toy, I will definitely do some business research. You are the one who committed the crime. You actually gave me a forged business data. If it goes to court, you will definitely be the one who suffers! "
Quanjingjing not only obtained these internal confidential data, but also produced a very professional business evaluation. The current value of the Rockefeller Building is at most about 6 million US dollars.
