Chapter 218 Wealth Growth Plan

[I regret so much! ! ! ]
The emotional catharsis with three exclamation points was followed by a selfie of Barbara Pavin at Jinghu Lake.In the picture, she was sitting on a boulder beside a hiking trail in the Adirondack Mountains, pouting aggrievedly, showing Han Yi the ubiquitous mosquito bites on her calves, arms and even forehead.

[Oh my God, are you okay? ]
Han Yi's scalp tingled when he saw it. He was especially attracted to mosquitoes, and he felt the same for Barbara's current situation.

[I wanted to ask you yesterday why you went hiking in Jinghu Lake in the summer.The wetter the place, the more mosquitoes there are. ]
[Because we are a group of basic b’s who stay in big cities 350 days a year and get excited when hearing about nature. ]
[What about the others? ]
[Worse than me, I feel like Taylor is going to be anemic from being stung. ]
[Then why are you still here? ]
[Giji sprained her ankle, hahaha, she asked all of us to stay with her and wait for the medical staff to bring up the stretcher and take her down the mountain. ]
This girl can really do it.

Han Yi rolled his eyes. As a Chinese and an Asian, the reason why he doesn't like Gigi Hadid is obvious.

If he guessed correctly, Barbara obviously didn't like this supermodel with Palestinian blood flowing in her body, but she looked like Beverly's wife in every gesture.

[I know the laugh ;)]
Seeing the four words sent by Han Yi and the funny smiling face following them, Barbara couldn't help laughing.She quickly covered her mouth, glanced left and right, and after confirming that Taylor's best friends had not noticed her behavior, she sent two emojis to Han Yi.

One is a hush sign with the index finger in front of the mouth, and the other is a playful smile with a side wink.

[FaceTime you when you get back to the hotel.Open a bottle of red wine as it will be very filling. ]
[Would Mexican Coke work? ]
[Anything that makes you happy will do. ]
[Oh, great, they just decided to continue climbing to the top of the mountain, because there will be fewer mosquitoes at the top. CLEVER. ]
[Wish me luck! ]
[My thoughts and prayers are with you. ]
Turning off Whatsapp and thinking about Barbara who was suffering, Han Yi's satisfaction with the current environment increased a few points.

July 2016, 7 was probably the hottest day in New York in the past two months.At 28:01 in the afternoon, it was 30 degrees Fahrenheit outside, which was over 97 degrees Celsius when converted into degrees Celsius.The humidity is only 36%, and most importantly, the gentle breeze blowing from upstate New York to the Manhattan peninsula has completely stopped at this moment.Han Yi, who was sitting at the dining table, could clearly find that the number of tourists in Central Park had dropped by more than half. There were only a few bikini girls with wheat-colored skin who were dying on the lawn. I didn't know if this was true. Enduring the intense heat, he still passed out long ago.

Suffering is not the same in the world, and even more so in New York.While ordinary working-class people crowded the public swimming pool in the Hamilton Fish Park in lower Manhattan to cool off the heat, the rich had already taken a boat back to Hampton to enjoy the shade, or flew across the Atlantic to watch Wimbledon in London, which was only 18 degrees Celsius. Tennis Open.A small number of the top class who are forced to stay on the Manhattan peninsula will also hide in their park-view mansions built with tens of millions of dollars, and will not go out until the sun sets.

Han Yi is one of the best.

Last night, Kerui asked the apartment concierge to help contact Best Buy and temporarily purchased an Xbox One. It was delivered to One57#79's house on time at 16 o'clock this morning, along with a FIFA 99.99 game CD.Use your bank card to easily top up five US$270 coupons. Even if you haven't opened Ultimate Team for a long time, Han Yi can still easily catch up with the lineup configuration at the end of the version.Without leaving the house, not even the master bedroom, Han Yi sat cross-legged on the floor, blocking out the [-]-degree view of New York with gauze curtains, and played happily for three or four hours.

As it was approaching lunch time, Han Yi, who had been craving another pizza since parting from Barbara yesterday, ordered a carbon water feast for him and Corey that was enough for three or four people to eat for a day.Italian sausage pizza, Hawaiian pizza, garlic bread sticks, cheese bread, and grilled chicken wings, all of which have a little appetite.Add a frozen Mexican Coke with crushed ice, and there's nothing easier and happier to enjoy at a constant temperature of 72 degrees Fahrenheit.

Regaining a new life, in addition to developing the unfinished grand plans of the previous life in the career, must also stop and stay for these trivial but happy moments.

Even Queen Victoria, who ruled the empire on which the sun never sets and defined an era, also had such a weird hobby as catching mice, but it was indeed a fulfilling little hobby when you think about it carefully.

Han Yi is naturally quiet and loves to be alone. Since opening his eyes at University Gateway on February 2016, 2, Han Yi has rarely had the opportunity to spend time lazily alone.Even in his own home at No. 29 Stradella Road, he was surrounded by housekeepers every day.Therefore, One864#57 above the clouds has temporarily become a rare refuge where he can replenish fuel in peace.

Although he had already received the reward, Han Yi could clearly feel that the positive feedback he received from this apartment had become stronger.

After lunch, Han Yi participated in a briefing on Horch's new single "Closer" hosted by Jason Aron and Anthony Lee from Renyu Management.The part of history without Han Yi's intervention developed in an orderly manner according to the established route.The music label that owns the copyright of the master tape of "Closer" is called Disruptor Records. It was jointly established by Adam Albert, the manager of The Chainsmokers, and Sony Music Group. The distribution channel is owned by Columbia Records in the United States and Sony Music Entertainment in overseas regions Divisions in various countries dominate.

The last major single of The Chainsmokers, "Don't Let Me Down", which collaborated with Pennsylvania female singer Daya, performed extremely well. On the 2th, it reached the peak result of the third place in the main list. Although it dropped by two places this week, it still ranks in the top five golden seats.

Although he failed to win the singles chart, but following this momentum, it is not a big problem to book a top ten on the annual chart.

The popularity of "Don't Let Me Down" greatly boosted the confidence of Sony Music and Columbia Records in Disruptor and The Chainsmokers itself, and made "Closer" a sharp rise in the resource priority within the group.More importantly, the co-singer invited this time is also much bigger than Daya.

Although only one album has been released, Horch's "Badlands" is arguably one of the best indie pop efforts in recent years, and one of the best.The converted sales volume of 11.5 copies in the first week, the highest ranking in the Billboard 200 album list, and Spotify’s playback volume of more than 6 million times so far. A series of dazzling honors made her the most popular number one in major music festivals in 2016. guest.

With the support of many favorable factors, Columbia Records has configured the top-level publicity matrix for "Closer" from the very beginning.Online advertising, radio promotion, MV production, TV exposure, award selection, everything is in accordance with Beyoncé, One Direction, and Adele, which was dug up by Sony Music at the end of May for 5 million pounds. Arranged according to the publicity level that Columbia's most commercially appealing musicians can enjoy.

The most immediate example is the VMA Awards Ceremony that will be held at Madison Square Garden on the 28th of next month, and Han Music is also invited to participate. The Chainsmokers, Horch and "Closer" appeared in the list of performances announced by MTV a few days ago.A new single that has not yet been released can actually be booked in advance for the performance of the VMA, which shows the status and influence of Sony Music and Columbia Records in the American music circle.

As the co-founder of Halsey Inc., Han Yi and his Halsey Music Group can not only benefit from the huge amount of exposure of "Closer", but also can closely observe Columbia Records' music publicity and distribution from an internal level. Routine play.In terms of streaming media platform and song list strategy, Han Yi, who has advanced information, may be better, but the rhythm of radio promotion, the team of MV production, the strategy of TV exposure and the relationship network of award selection, these are gradually accumulated in Colombia over the past 134 years. , Pyramid-like grand and rich experience and resources, there is no doubt that Han Music's operation team should learn from it with humility and learn from it.

No.1 for eleven consecutive weeks, surpassing Drake's "One Dance", becoming the single with the most number of firsts in 2016.

On May 2017, 5, Spotify's play volume exceeded one billion times, which is the second hit song to achieve this achievement after "Lean On".

One song, both The Chainsmokers and Horch sent two groups of artists to the peak of their careers.

How did Sony and Columbia do this?

An initiative that I could only read about in the news in my previous life, this time I have to experience it myself.

VMA Awards Ceremony, August 8th…

Han Yi added an itinerary with the highest priority in the reminder.

Not only will he make his debut with his Han music, but he will also meet those potential partners who have never been seen in Madison Square Garden.

For example, Hayley Williams’ Paramore.

such as……

"Mr. Han."

Corey McIntosh's gentle reminder came from the other side of the hall, interrupting Han Yi's thoughts.

"The NetJets are downstairs."

"Okay, let them come up."

Throwing the phone aside, Han Yi rubbed his swollen eye sockets and said to Corey.The short personal time was fleeting, and at two o'clock sharp, the next group of meeting guests reserved by Han Yi arrived as scheduled.

From NetJets, a company founded in 1964 and headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, is the world's number one private jet service provider in terms of service hours and charter flights. Last year, the total flight hours reached 45 hours.The company never discloses their customer list, but even a layman who knows nothing about the business world can easily guess that Berkshire Hathaway, also located in Omaha, and their chairman Warren Buffett , has been using the company's services since its wholly-owned acquisition of NetJets in 1998.

After the commercial investment incentives were issued last quarter, Han Yi quickly realized the importance of maintaining a high level of personal consumption.Whether it is Parkway Capital or the Carlyle Group, there are many restrictions on the investment funds they deposit there for him.It can only be used for business development, and there are regular evaluations. If the invested company records a loss, the funds will be deducted from the cash account in proportion.

In the process of enterprise development, it is quite normal to operate at a deficit in order to seize market share in the initial stage.Han Music wants to become the fourth largest music group in the world. In the foreseeable future, it must spend a lot of money to catch up.Therefore, in order to prevent the cash in his hand from shrinking due to the losses of his subsidiaries, he has to constantly increase his wealth.Ordinary financial management methods are too inefficient, and Han Yi can only focus on creating strong positive emotional feedback for himself in order to obtain additional rewards sufficient to hedge risks.

Maybe they just want to use this mechanism to encourage him to continue consuming, instead of just lying down like he did this morning after getting the few good things he wants most?

The real intention is unknown, but Han Yi does not dislike this kind of incentive.

Spending money to buy enjoyment, what is there not to like?
However, although it is not difficult to spend money to buy enjoyment, how to spend money correctly and buy enjoyment with at least double the return ratio is a problem that requires Han Yi to think carefully.For him at present, what is the most urgent need, and can provide the greatest sense of gain, achievement and satisfaction?

Han Yi made three "self-realization value lists" in his mind, on his mobile phone, and on his computer.Each list has some subtle differences, but the item at the top of the list is surprisingly consistent: a private jet.

From rebirth to now, Han Yi has traveled back and forth four times between Los Angeles and New York alone.There are also flights from New York to Ibiza, Ibiza to London, London back to New York and then to Atlanta, Atlanta to Miami, Miami to Los Angeles... Thinking about it carefully, Han Yi was floating in the sky in just over a month. The time has reached 32 hours.There is a saying in the private jet industry that if you fly [-] hours a year, investing in a private jet, whether fully owned or partially owned, is more cost-effective than opening a membership and buying hours.

Taking this standard into consideration, it was a very wise choice for Han Yi to buy a private jet.

What's more, owning a precision aircraft that is completely your own in the clouds of [-] meters is the ultimate romance and peak satisfaction that can impress any normal human being.Thinking with your toes, you know that the reward ratio will never be low.

At present, Han Yi happens to have more than 650 million in cash at his disposal, and he cannot afford a large airliner, but long-range commercial jets such as the Gulfstream G7500 or Bombardier Global [-], which have [-] to [-] seats, are just affordable. In the range.

If you don't buy it now, when will you wait?
With a private jet worth 7000 million U.S. dollars, leveraging a high percentage of returns, the other targets on Han Yi's value list are likely to be included in his pocket.

As long as the funds are in place, billionaires don't need to worry about what they want to buy.Han Yi knew nothing about the process of purchasing a private jet, nor did he know any professionals in the industry.But he doesn't have to worry about it, because the property manager Corey McIntosh has accumulated contacts in related fields when he worked for Stephen Schwarzman.In fact, the Gulfstream G113 code-named N113CS held by the founder of the Blackstone Group through 650CS LLC, a penetrating entity, is managed by NetJets.

Since 2007, NetJets has performed hundreds of missions for Blackstone. As one of Schwarzman's most trusted property managers, Corey McIntosh has naturally maintained a good cooperative relationship with NetJets.In fact, whether at the Rockefeller apartment or the "aquarium" in Palm Beach, Corey was the first person responsible for coordinating the flight time for Stephen Schwarzman.

Therefore, you only need to find a phone number starting with 212 from your contacts, and within an hour, the staff of NetJets New York Branch will bring a complete company introduction and a complete set of private jet purchase plans to the airport from Lexington Departed from Avenue 600 and appeared in the reception area of ​​One57#79 on time.

"Mark Weisser, Senior Vice President of NetJets Sales in New York. Nice to meet you, Mr. Han. This is my colleague, Diana Oleke, Vice President of Owner Experience in New York."

Mark Weisser, with short dark blond hair standing on end as straight as his Sevier Row tailor-made suit, and his colleague Diana Oleke, who wore a red business dress and smiled as wide as her body, were not very common. Do door-to-door work.The two have worked in NetJets for more than ten years. When they are in their positions, the specific sales tasks will be handed over to their subordinates. They will hold regular meetings in the morning at most, and they can return to the Long Island villa to enjoy leisure at two or three in the afternoon.

But today's important guest was indeed worth a trip in person.

The Chinese-American client, whom he had never heard of before, contacted NetJets through his property manager, Corey McIntosh.Although he has left the Upper East Side social circle for more than five years, Corey's name is still closely associated with the Blackstone Group.NetJets' basic assessment of Han Yi's purchasing power will not be bad if he can invite Stephen Schwarzman's royal butler who was placed in the Rockefeller apartment before.

In addition, there are only a few hundred people in the top class of Manhattan, and there are very few buyers who can afford the penthouses on Billionaire Street.Every transaction is a market move that NetJets' New York office needs to keep an eye on.Because every new rich man who moves in is a potential customer that they must strive for.

Han Yi bought One500#57 for US$79 million, whether it is the transaction amount, the identity of the seller or the background story of the transaction, they are all attractive enough.So before Han Yi even got the keys, the Wall Street Journal published the news in the business section of their website.

【One57 apartment bought from oil tycoon becomes the most expensive real estate transaction in July】

[Anthony Noto, July 2016, 7]

【One57第79楼一套面积为6240平方英尺的顶层公寓，以3500万美元的价格售出，成为纽约市今年7月最昂贵的房产。

For a full list of property sales this month, see the chart below.

This latest Billionaires Row deal has made headlines in the New York real estate world this week.According to the Wall Street Journal, the buyer is an anonymous LLC, believed to be controlled by capital with Chinese background.

The seller was Nigerian oil tycoon Kola Aluko, who was accused by the U.S. government of paying bribes to former Nigerian oil resources minister Dizani Allison-Marduk, who oversaw state-owned oil companies in Nigeria.

According to a statement from the Justice Department, proceeds from Cola-Aluko's "illegitimately obtained bids" were laundered through the purchase of various assets in the United States, such as this apartment at 57 West 157th Street. .

Other assets include an $8000 million yacht, three private jets, 58 cars and luxury properties in Los Angeles and London.

Cola-Aluko said through a spokesman that the cash raised from the sale of the condo will be used for foreclosure and restitution.

One57, built by Extell Real Estate Development, is one of the most expensive luxury buildings in Manhattan.The building reportedly broke ground in 2009 and holds the record for the most expensive home sold in the city with a studio price of $1.005 million. 】

Chinese background, billionaires.

This is simply a customer portrait tailored for NetJets. Since becoming the first overseas company to obtain a private charter service license in the Mainland in 2014, the development of China's ultra-high-net-worth individuals is one of the strong growth points that NetJets is most concerned about. one.

Before the marketing team in the NetJets New York office could find out the real information about the mysterious buyer of One57#79, he delivered it to the door himself through the Blackstone Group. How could such an unexpected surprise be allowed to slip away so easily?

"Nice to meet you two."

Han Yi stretched out his hand, signaling Mark Weiser and Diana Olek to sit on the sofa opposite him.

"Thank you for your time."

"my pleasure."

Mark Weisser pushed the beautifully printed coated paper materials in front of Han Yi, raised his eyelids, and smiled earnestly.

"How was the trip to America? Did it go well?"

"I've been here for a while."

Making unreasonable speculation about the customer's situation without investigation, it seems that the senior vice president has been away from the front-line sales position for a long time.

Han Yi glanced at Mark Weiser and said calmly.

"That's great, hope you enjoy life here in New York... the weather has been a pain in the ass lately."

"Indeed." Han Yi replied succinctly. The other party's pleasantries were not nutritious. He didn't particularly want to continue this kind of empty warm-up conversation. "So, you still have to have your own plane. Once the weather is not suitable, you can get out at any time. leave."

Even so, Han Yi still spoke the second half of the sentence, helping Mark Weiser, who had been out of battle for a long time, to move the topic forward.

After repeated high-intensity and high-standard business negotiations, Han Yi's communication skills have quietly improved a lot.

"Yes, for busy high-net-worth people like you, nothing can bring more spiritual satisfaction and inner abundance than the freedom of travel."

Diana, who was sitting next to Mark, joined the topic with a smile. As the head of the user experience department, dealing with important customers is almost her only job, even if she doesn’t need to meet and visit, regular monthly phone calls or online communication is also essential.Therefore, compared to Mark Weisser, Diana Olek can better grasp the rhythm of the conversation and the user's psychology, and this is the main reason why Mark Weisser finally asked her to go to West 57th Street after thinking about it.

"First of all I want to say, good afternoon Mr. Han, what a pleasure it is to meet you at this iconic One57. Every time I visit here, I feel a...genuine joy and connection , because it is so consistent with NetJets, an outstanding company that I have served for more than ten years, in the spiritual core. Just like the impeccable quality of One57, I am very satisfied with what our company provides to customers in the field of private aviation. I take great pride in our unrivaled service and safety. It is my pleasure to sit here and introduce you to the world of NetJets. Here, the most exquisite travel experience is not just a promise on paper, it is what we do every day A practice built with care.”

"I believe that joining NetJets' shared ownership program will not only provide you with world-class air travel, but also provide you with comprehensive value protection for your assets."

"Shared ownership?"

Catching the key words in Diana's words, Han Yi couldn't help frowning.

"Yes, shared ownership, is the cornerstone of NetJets' customer engagement and the business model we are most proud of."

Opening the homepage of the information for Han Yi, Mark Weiser smiled with a sure chance of winning.

"Believe me, Mr. Han, after listening to our introduction, you will fall in love with this way of travel and investment."
