Connecticut, an estate in the western suburb of Greenwich.
Two Black Hawk helicopters successively landed on the open lawn of the manor. When the helicopter gangway was down, a group of people who were not far away soon met them.
Simon stepped down from the gangway of one of the helicopters and saw Lin Lan and others coming forward. He just nodded and asked, "what's the matter?"
"It's still in the delivery room."
Lin Lan just said, see Simon has gone to the villa, quickly and his husband and brother Lin Dong and others to keep up.
At the gate of the delivery room decorated in the villa, Lin Su's mother and the housekeeper angri are waiting here. When they see Simon, they say hello and look at the delivery room together.
The housekeeper whispered the details to Simon.
"The broken amniotic fluid from Ms. Lin's walk after lunch was immediately sent to the delivery room. Dr. beckon and she are all in it. At present, everything is normal."
Simon nodded slightly.
Originally worried about her daughter's insistence on staying in front of the delivery room, Lin's mother saw her son-in-law standing with her, and her second daughter whispered, and finally agreed to wait in the next living room.
Everyone sat down in the living room, Lin Lan affectionately took her mother's arm, but looked at Simon: "brother-in-law, let me sit in the helicopter outside. I haven't been in a helicopter yet."
Lin's mother raised her hand and patted her second daughter's head: "your elder sister is still in the delivery room, so she wants to have fun. She loves you in vain."
Lin Lan covered her head and said, "Mom, you've seen so many times. The best equipment, the best doctor, and my sister's prenatal examination are very healthy. What can I worry about? I want to have a baby here in the future."
Simon took the coffee from the housekeeper and looked at Lin Lan, who pretended to be a little girl in front of him. He said with a smile in Chinese, "if you want to sit down, go and let them take you around. When you come back, you can see your nephew."
Lin Lan gets up, is pulled down by her mother, and reluctantly sits down again. In fact, she is only a few months younger than Simon, and works in the system. Of course, she is not so unstable. She deliberately creates a lively image of a little sister in front of her sister, but she is not really sensible. She takes the initiative to change the topic: "brother-in-law, where are you coming from?"
"Toronto," Simon said after a sip of coffee, "yesterday was the opening of the Toronto Film Festival."
Lin Lan tilted his head: "I don't know, but it seems that the Venice Film Festival is going on recently?"
"Yes, the Venice Film Festival will close tomorrow. The two festivals are often held at the same time, but the types of films they face are different."
Lin Lan didn't know about this, so she changed the topic wisely: "speaking of the movie, brother-in-law, crouching tiger, hidden dragon, produced by your company, is really popular in China recently. We also saw the news in the morning that the box office has reached 39 million, and many local tickets can't be bought. The total box office is sure to exceed 100 million as in the United States."
Today is September 12th.
Friday.
In China, as of yesterday, "Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon" had just been released for one week and won 39 million yuan at the box office in seven days, but the opening performance was far more than ever.
Once upon a time in history, because China was shown earlier than the United States, and because the film was too literary and artistic, it did not meet the public taste, the box office of the film in the mainland was only 15 million.
This time it's different.
Crouching tiger, hidden dragon, which has set a record of Chinese martial arts in North America, has won a similar aura to farewell my concubine and sunny day. The other two films are also literature and art films. Because they won awards overseas and won international fame, they are favored by domestic audiences. One of them made more than 40 million at the domestic box office, and one of them made 50 million. Frankly speaking, the aura of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon is stronger than the other two films.
Coupled with the official recommendation of China, it's hard not to exceed 100 million yuan this time.
Lin Lan's husband, Qin Yusong, finally got a chance to break in and said, "in fact, it's nothing to break through 100 million yuan in China, but it's the North American side. The total box office may be 1 billion yuan, which is almost equal to the total box office of all the movies in China in one year."
Although Lin's mother had noticed it during this period of time, listening to the second son-in-law's words, she also exclaimed: "so many."
Lin Lan said with a smile: "who can make my brother-in-law so powerful?"
Simon just smiles and looks at Qin Yusong: "what's your work like recently?"
"Not bad."
Qin Yusong can only be modest.
Climbing the towering tree of the westero system, of course, is not only OK.
Over the past half year, after consulting with Simon, Lin Su has invested the sum of 500 million US dollars that he cashed out of Scomber last year, together with Simon's supplementary funds, into Zhejiang. Women used to be confused about this, but now they are preparing for their children. By the way, they can also be counted as returning to their hometown and helping their families.
With this fund, Lin Lan and Qin Yusong, who are highly expected by the two families, have earned enough political capital. They have not only climbed one level this year, but also transferred to key departments with greater potential for growth.After chatting about the recent situation for more than two hours, good news finally came from the delivery room next door.
The eleventh child of the Westeros came to the world.
Nine pound fat boy.
We enjoyed the fun and soon left the space for Simon and Lindsay, and of course, a chubby little girl.
Simon sat in front of the big bed in the other bedroom, looking at Lin Su, who was still a little pale, trying to feed the baby, and asked with a smile, "how does it feel to have a baby?"
Lin Su's eyes did not leave the little spot in his arms. He just glanced at someone and said in a low voice: "try it."
"Well, it's difficult."
Lin Su simply ignored it.
Simon thought of one thing and asked, "everybody's here. Why didn't your father come?"
"Said is busy," Lin Su should be a, pause, and smile, look over: "China side, we have a full moon when the child's habit of banquet, Dad deliberately ignore, just want me to take the child back, in Hangzhou side do full moon wine, if everyone came, see the baby, I may not go back."
Simon saw that Lin Su had not concealed his old father's thoughts. He laughed and said, "since you have this habit, let's do it."
Lin Su squinted again: "you deliberately pretend to be stupid. Of course, my father wants to see his grandson, but he doesn't want you to go with him."
Simon calculated the time and said, "let's go there together. It happens that Asia will be more lively in October. I'll go and have a look."
"Well?"
"The financial turmoil."
"Oh," Lin Su suddenly lost interest, looked down at the ugly little guy in his arms for a while, and raised his eyes again: "by the way, there is also the matter of the name. My mother thinks that the baby's name is little Simon, which is a little strange. Besides, my mother says, I'm afraid he can't hold up, or I can change it?"
Simon looked at Lin Su with shining eyes: "do you want to change it?"
Lin Su was a little embarrassed by Simon. After a pause, he shook his head: "I don't want to."
"Don't change it," Simon said. "It's already registered. It's not easy to change it."
Lin Su hesitated and asked, "Jennie, is that ok?"
"Yes," Simon said with a smile. Seeing Lin Su worried, he added, "but don't worry, she won't come and eat you."
Feeling the man's tone, Lin Su felt relieved and then said, "actually, I want to give my baby a Chinese name."
"What's your name?"
"Your Chinese level is better than that of many Chinese people. Of course, you come to pick it up?"
"I have seen in the book that there is a saying in China that a cheap name is easy to support. How about calling dog eggs?"
Even though he knew the man was joking, Lin Su glared at him immediately: "you're the dog egg."
"Otherwise, the meaning of" tie "is very good."
Lin Su held the child and turned to the side: "I'll ignore you again."
Simon put away his joking expression and said, "how about Qianshu?"
Lin Su looks at it.
Simon explained: "a thousand trees" is a very common image in Tang and Song poetry. There are rich and prosperous "thousands of trees blossom in the east wind night", there are "thousands of trees and pear blossoms blooming" in the frontier fortress, there are "thousands of peach blossom people blushing" in the spring, and there are "thousands of trees and plum trees yearning for emptiness" in the winter snow It's so colorful. "
After listening to Simon's words, Lin Su was moved by the fact that the little unhappiness just caused by the man's joking had dissipated. She could think that Simon's just few poems might not have been spoken casually, and he probably inquired and considered them in private. Obviously, when she didn't mention them, he had already taken care of the child's Chinese name, so she quickly said, "OK, It's called Qianshu, Qianshu westero. "
"According to Chinese habits, it should be westero Qianshu, which is better."
"Well."
Simon saw that Lin Su seemed to read something silently, and said with a smile, "in the future, in China, it's too conspicuous to hang westrow, which can be called Lin Qianshu."
Lin Su's mind was seen through, and his face was slightly red. He nodded again: "good."
They are chatting. Suddenly, the door behind them is knocked twice. They turn around and look at it together. It turns out that Chen Qing doesn't know when she will appear at the door. Maybe she has been here for some time. She is very jealous.
Seeing that they finally noticed themselves, Chen Qing came in. First she went to see the little guy in Lin Su's arms. Then she directly stepped back to Simon's arms and put her arms around the man's neck: "boss, you are so eccentric. I don't even have a baby. This little guy already has such a good name. "
Simon just smile ring live coquettish Chen Qing thin waist: "when come?"
"When you talk about dog eggs and bolt posts, you come here," Chen Qing said, looking at Lin su. "I think dog eggs are good. Let's leave the name of Qianshu to my child."Lin Su countered: "since you think dog eggs are good, give them to your own children."
Chen Qing saw that Lin Su didn't agree. She immediately stuck an aggrieved look on Simon: "boss, she bullied me."
There's no way to persuade this one.
Simon patiently waited for Chen Qing to scatter Jiao for a while, pushed her and said: "get up, other people see bad."
Chen Qing also knew that the Lin family were all here. She got up obediently and sat down beside the bed. She had to tease the little guy again. Lin Su raised her hand and opened it. She had to give up.
After chatting for a while, Simon and Chen Qing got up and left the room together when Lin Su finished feeding the baby for the first time.
Both mother and son need rest.
It was evening.
Lin's mother and the ladies are preparing dinner. Simon, Chen Qing and Lin Lan get together and talk about some business.
"Brother in law, over there in green city, you have added so much money to let them hoard land this time. Is it really OK? Song has talked with us several times. He is also a very bold man. Now he is a little scared?"
Green city is the green city of Hangzhou.
In the past two years, the real estate layout of westrow system in China is far more than that of Evergrande and country garden. In Simon's memory, the domestic real estate developers who can rank in the forefront are suitable to intervene. Basically, there are capital injections here, but most of them will borrow a shell, and rarely inject capital directly in the name of enterprises related to westrow system.
Just like Vanke, which has just been negotiated recently.
Although Mr. Wang knows that the main investor this time is the westero system, in terms of specific operation, the 12% shares of tefa, Vanke's previous largest shareholder, are acquired by a Swiss investment fund. It is a Hong Kong company that has publicly accepted the private placement of 10% shares by Vanke. It is an investment fund in the United States that has privately absorbed about 10% of the circulating shares of Vanke. If the fund goes up, it can only be found in the Caymans.
All in all, the westrow system spent about 1.7 billion yuan to get 32% of Vanke's shares.
Simon does intend to be a pure investment shareholder, so he will not interfere too much except for necessary supervision. However, if it is really necessary in the future, these shares will come to the surface completely, enough to seize the control of the company.
And the potential rewards.
In my memory, the highest market value of Vanke once exceeded 300 billion yuan. At the present stage, 32% of the shares bought by 1.7 billion yuan will be worth 100 billion yuan in 10 or 20 years, nearly 60 times the return.
This is not turning 170000 into 10 million, but 1.7 billion into 100 billion. Under such a volume, the return of nearly 60 times is absolutely terrible.
What's more, this is just Vanke.
Simon did not answer Lin Lan's question directly, but explained patiently more deeply. "If you study the modern economic history of other countries, you can find that the prosperity of the real estate industry and even the bubble are inevitable trends for many modern countries to develop to a certain stage. Since 1978, China's economic accumulation has been almost 20 years, and it should be another one. This time, the Asian financial crisis will also be a catalyst for this transformation. Therefore, if we start to hoard land now, the worst result is that the land price will not rise in the future and part of the capital interest will be lost. With the current demand of China, it is impossible for the land price to fall. So, if you really don't understand, think of it as a breakeven investment in the Westeros system. "
Break even investment?
Lin Lan and his wife look at each other, quickly understand at the same time can only sigh.
In recent years, the thirst for funds in all walks of life in China has never been alleviated. Let's say that the real estate industry has not come out of the downturn at this stage. Some real estate enterprises in trouble in some areas want to borrow funds for emergency turnover, and the monthly interest rate can even be as high as 30%. Here, my brother-in-law, billions of RMB has been smashed down, but he just pursues capital preservation investment.
This can only show that someone has too much cash to spend at all.
Rich and powerful.
It's true.
At Simon's request, Veronica's six-month financial sorting of the whole westrow system has been completed, and because many companies or equity investments, such as danielis, melisandro, cersei capital, Nokia, Cisco and so on, are continuously creating profits for the westrow system, the whole westrow system still has more than $60 billion in cash reserves in the first half of the year, and the goal is to improve the system It has grown to more than $70 billion before.
Not to mention further, but next year, when the global economy is bound to decline, the cash reserves of the whole westero system will increase by at least $10 billion.
In addition, Simon is more and more inclined to pursue the leverage investment strategy of control rather than monopoly. Under the relatively conservative situation, it is not a problem to enlarge the $70 billion cash reserve to $700 billion through 10 times leverage. Therefore, the cash reserve of westero system has indeed reached an endless level.

The housekeeper whispered the details to Simon. "The broken amniotic fluid from Ms. Lin's walk after lunch was immediately sent to the delivery room. Dr. beckon and she are all in it. At present, everything is normal." Simon nodded slightly. Originally worried about her daughter's insistence on staying in front of the delivery room, Lin's mother saw her son-in-law standing with her, and her second daughter whispered, and finally agreed to wait in the next living room. Everyone sat down in the living room, Lin Lan affectionately took her mother's arm, but looked at Simon: "brother-in-law, let me sit in the helicopter outside. I haven't been in a helicopter yet." Lin's mother raised her hand and patted her second daughter's head: "your elder sister is still in the delivery room, so she wants to have fun. She loves you in vain." Lin Lan covered her head and said, "Mom, you've seen so many times. The best equipment, the best doctor, and my sister's prenatal examination are very healthy. What can I worry about? I want to have a baby here in the future." Simon took the coffee from the housekeeper and looked at Lin Lan, who pretended to be a little girl in front of him. He said with a smile in Chinese, "if you want to sit down, go and let them take you around. When you come back, you can see your nephew." Lin Lan gets up, is pulled down by her mother, and reluctantly sits down again. In fact, she is only a few months younger than Simon, and works in the system. Of course, she is not so unstable. She deliberately creates a lively image of a little sister in front of her sister, but she is not really sensible. She takes the initiative to change the topic: "brother-in-law, where are you coming from?" "Toronto," Simon said after a sip of coffee, "yesterday was the opening of the Toronto Film Festival." Lin Lan tilted his head: "I don't know, but it seems that the Venice Film Festival is going on recently?" "Yes, the Venice Film Festival will close tomorrow. The two festivals are often held at the same time, but the types of films they face are different." Lin Lan didn't know about this, so she changed the topic wisely: "speaking of the movie, brother-in-law, crouching tiger, hidden dragon, produced by your company, is really popular in China recently. We also saw the news in the morning that the box office has reached 39 million, and many local tickets can't be bought. The total box office is sure to exceed 100 million as in the United States." Today is September 12th. Friday. In China, as of yesterday, "Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon" had just been released for one week and won 39 million yuan at the box office in seven days, but the opening performance was far more than ever. Once upon a time in history, because China was shown earlier than the United States, and because the film was too literary and artistic, it did not meet the public taste, the box office of the film in the mainland was only 15 million. This time it's different. Crouching tiger, hidden dragon, which has set a record of Chinese martial arts in North America, has won a similar aura to farewell my concubine and sunny day. The other two films are also literature and art films. Because they won awards overseas and won international fame, they are favored by domestic audiences. One of them made more than 40 million at the domestic box office, and one of them made 50 million. Frankly speaking, the aura of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon is stronger than the other two films. Coupled with the official recommendation of China, it's hard not to exceed 100 million yuan this time. Lin Lan's husband, Qin Yusong, finally got a chance to break in and said, "in fact, it's nothing to break through 100 million yuan in China, but it's the North American side. The total box office may be 1 billion yuan, which is almost equal to the total box office of all the movies in China in one year." Although Lin's mother had noticed it during this period of time, listening to the second son-in-law's words, she also exclaimed: "so many." Lin Lan said with a smile: "who can make my brother-in-law so powerful?" Simon just smiles and looks at Qin Yusong: "what's your work like recently?" "Not bad." Qin Yusong can only be modest. Climbing the towering tree of the westero system, of course, is not only OK. Over the past half year, after consulting with Simon, Lin Su has invested the sum of 500 million US dollars that he cashed out of Scomber last year, together with Simon's supplementary funds, into Zhejiang. Women used to be confused about this, but now they are preparing for their children. By the way, they can also be counted as returning to their hometown and helping their families. With this fund, Lin Lan and Qin Yusong, who are highly expected by the two families, have earned enough political capital. They have not only climbed one level this year, but also transferred to key departments with greater potential for growth.After chatting about the recent situation for more than two hours, good news finally came from the delivery room next door. The eleventh child of the Westeros came to the world. Nine pound fat boy. We enjoyed the fun and soon left the space for Simon and Lindsay, and of course, a chubby little girl. Simon sat in front of the big bed in the other bedroom, looking at Lin Su, who was still a little pale, trying to feed the baby, and asked with a smile, "how does it feel to have a baby?" Lin Su's eyes did not leave the little spot in his arms. He just glanced at someone and said in a low voice: "try it." "Well, it's difficult." Lin Su simply ignored it. Simon thought of one thing and asked, "everybody's here. Why didn't your father come?" "Said is busy," Lin Su should be a, pause, and smile, look over: "China side, we have a full moon when the child's habit of banquet, Dad deliberately ignore, just want me to take the child back, in Hangzhou side do full moon wine, if everyone came, see the baby, I may not go back." Simon saw that Lin Su had not concealed his old father's thoughts. He laughed and said, "since you have this habit, let's do it." Lin Su squinted again: "you deliberately pretend to be stupid. Of course, my father wants to see his grandson, but he doesn't want you to go with him." Simon calculated the time and said, "let's go there together. It happens that Asia will be more lively in October. I'll go and have a look." "Well?" "The financial turmoil." "Oh," Lin Su suddenly lost interest, looked down at the ugly little guy in his arms for a while, and raised his eyes again: "by the way, there is also the matter of the name. My mother thinks that the baby's name is little Simon, which is a little strange. Besides, my mother says, I'm afraid he can't hold up, or I can change it?" Simon looked at Lin Su with shining eyes: "do you want to change it?" Lin Su was a little embarrassed by Simon. After a pause, he shook his head: "I don't want to." "Don't change it," Simon said. "It's already registered. It's not easy to change it." Lin Su hesitated and asked, "Jennie, is that ok?" "Yes," Simon said with a smile. Seeing Lin Su worried, he added, "but don't worry, she won't come and eat you." Feeling the man's tone, Lin Su felt relieved and then said, "actually, I want to give my baby a Chinese name." "What's your name?" "Your Chinese level is better than that of many Chinese people. Of course, you come to pick it up?" "I have seen in the book that there is a saying in China that a cheap name is easy to support. How about calling dog eggs?" Even though he knew the man was joking, Lin Su glared at him immediately: "you're the dog egg." "Otherwise, the meaning of" tie "is very good." Lin Su held the child and turned to the side: "I'll ignore you again." Simon put away his joking expression and said, "how about Qianshu?" Lin Su looks at it. Simon explained: "a thousand trees" is a very common image in Tang and Song poetry. There are rich and prosperous "thousands of trees blossom in the east wind night", there are "thousands of trees and pear blossoms blooming" in the frontier fortress, there are "thousands of peach blossom people blushing" in the spring, and there are "thousands of trees and plum trees yearning for emptiness" in the winter snow It's so colorful. " After listening to Simon's words, Lin Su was moved by the fact that the little unhappiness just caused by the man's joking had dissipated. She could think that Simon's just few poems might not have been spoken casually, and he probably inquired and considered them in private. Obviously, when she didn't mention them, he had already taken care of the child's Chinese name, so she quickly said, "OK, It's called Qianshu, Qianshu westero. " "According to Chinese habits, it should be westero Qianshu, which is better." "Well." Simon saw that Lin Su seemed to read something silently, and said with a smile, "in the future, in China, it's too conspicuous to hang westrow, which can be called Lin Qianshu." Lin Su's mind was seen through, and his face was slightly red. He nodded again: "good." They are chatting. Suddenly, the door behind them is knocked twice. They turn around and look at it together. It turns out that Chen Qing doesn't know when she will appear at the door. Maybe she has been here for some time. She is very jealous. Seeing that they finally noticed themselves, Chen Qing came in. First she went to see the little guy in Lin Su's arms. Then she directly stepped back to Simon's arms and put her arms around the man's neck: "boss, you are so eccentric. I don't even have a baby. This little guy already has such a good name. " Simon just smile ring live coquettish Chen Qing thin waist: "when come?" "When you talk about dog eggs and bolt posts, you come here," Chen Qing said, looking at Lin su. "I think dog eggs are good. Let's leave the name of Qianshu to my child."Lin Su countered: "since you think dog eggs are good, give them to your own children." Chen Qing saw that Lin Su didn't agree. She immediately stuck an aggrieved look on Simon: "boss, she bullied me." There's no way to persuade this one. Simon patiently waited for Chen Qing to scatter Jiao for a while, pushed her and said: "get up, other people see bad." Chen Qing also knew that the Lin family were all here. She got up obediently and sat down beside the bed. She had to tease the little guy again. Lin Su raised her hand and opened it. She had to give up. After chatting for a while, Simon and Chen Qing got up and left the room together when Lin Su finished feeding the baby for the first time. Both mother and son need rest. It was evening. Lin's mother and the ladies are preparing dinner. Simon, Chen Qing and Lin Lan get together and talk about some business. "Brother in law, over there in green city, you have added so much money to let them hoard land this time. Is it really OK? Song has talked with us several times. He is also a very bold man. Now he is a little scared?" Green city is the green city of Hangzhou. In the past two years, the real estate layout of westrow system in China is far more than that of Evergrande and country garden. In Simon's memory, the domestic real estate developers who can rank in the forefront are suitable to intervene. Basically, there are capital injections here, but most of them will borrow a shell, and rarely inject capital directly in the name of enterprises related to westrow system. Just like Vanke, which has just been negotiated recently. Although Mr. Wang knows that the main investor this time is the westero system, in terms of specific operation, the 12% shares of tefa, Vanke's previous largest shareholder, are acquired by a Swiss investment fund. It is a Hong Kong company that has publicly accepted the private placement of 10% shares by Vanke. It is an investment fund in the United States that has privately absorbed about 10% of the circulating shares of Vanke. If the fund goes up, it can only be found in the Caymans. All in all, the westrow system spent about 1.7 billion yuan to get 32% of Vanke's shares. Simon does intend to be a pure investment shareholder, so he will not interfere too much except for necessary supervision. However, if it is really necessary in the future, these shares will come to the surface completely, enough to seize the control of the company. And the potential rewards. In my memory, the highest market value of Vanke once exceeded 300 billion yuan. At the present stage, 32% of the shares bought by 1.7 billion yuan will be worth 100 billion yuan in 10 or 20 years, nearly 60 times the return. This is not turning 170000 into 10 million, but 1.7 billion into 100 billion. Under such a volume, the return of nearly 60 times is absolutely terrible. What's more, this is just Vanke. Simon did not answer Lin Lan's question directly, but explained patiently more deeply. "If you study the modern economic history of other countries, you can find that the prosperity of the real estate industry and even the bubble are inevitable trends for many modern countries to develop to a certain stage. Since 1978, China's economic accumulation has been almost 20 years, and it should be another one. This time, the Asian financial crisis will also be a catalyst for this transformation. Therefore, if we start to hoard land now, the worst result is that the land price will not rise in the future and part of the capital interest will be lost. With the current demand of China, it is impossible for the land price to fall. So, if you really don't understand, think of it as a breakeven investment in the Westeros system. " Break even investment? Lin Lan and his wife look at each other, quickly understand at the same time can only sigh. In recent years, the thirst for funds in all walks of life in China has never been alleviated. Let's say that the real estate industry has not come out of the downturn at this stage. Some real estate enterprises in trouble in some areas want to borrow funds for emergency turnover, and the monthly interest rate can even be as high as 30%. Here, my brother-in-law, billions of RMB has been smashed down, but he just pursues capital preservation investment. This can only show that someone has too much cash to spend at all. Rich and powerful. It's true. At Simon's request, Veronica's six-month financial sorting of the whole westrow system has been completed, and because many companies or equity investments, such as danielis, melisandro, cersei capital, Nokia, Cisco and so on, are continuously creating profits for the westrow system, the whole westrow system still has more than $60 billion in cash reserves in the first half of the year, and the goal is to improve the system It has grown to more than $70 billion before. Not to mention further, but next year, when the global economy is bound to decline, the cash reserves of the whole westero system will increase by at least $10 billion. In addition, Simon is more and more inclined to pursue the leverage investment strategy of control rather than monopoly. Under the relatively conservative situation, it is not a problem to enlarge the $70 billion cash reserve to $700 billion through 10 times leverage. Therefore, the cash reserve of westero system has indeed reached an endless level.
