The God of Wealth: Her Top Game of Thrones

Chapter 1181 Invitation to Cooperation

Upon hearing Tang Tang's words, Caroline's Persian cat-like eyes lit up.

But she didn't agree immediately. Instead, she looked at Tang Tang seriously and asked her what area she wanted to invest in.

But Caroline's seriousness didn't anger Tang Tang; on the contrary, she quickly became happy. Don't be fooled by Caroline's seemingly idle lifestyle of spending money and playing around with men; in reality, Caroline is an elite graduate of an elite education!

A truly incompetent person can't get into Harvard. Even if they can afford to spend money, they won't be able to study smoothly or eventually be absorbed into Edmund's clique.

Caroline may be playful and not very serious about her work, but that doesn't mean she's incompetent!

Luckily, the empty first-class cabin became a small private meeting room for the three girls. Isabella joked with a smile that it was destined for them to discuss big business on the plane today.

That's right! Otherwise, why would it be that when the three of them were on the plane together, the first class cabin was empty?

Tang Tang's decision to collaborate with Caroline and Isabella was made after careful consideration.

After all, they were more familiar with the capital operations and default rules of the US region than Tang Tang. Tang Tang did not like to rely on the system for everything. Just as the system said, she felt more accomplished in personally building her own business empire bit by bit.

The system's existence will be her ultimate weapon, helping her solve problems quickly and effortlessly.

Of course, the system can also help Tang Tang when she wants to give up – after all, the system is a fallback and another option, not her only possibility.

In summary, Tang Tang informed Caroline and Isabella about the three areas she planned to enter.

"First, Hollywood film studios."

Tang Tang raised her hand and held up her second finger. "Second, the field of medicine and life sciences."

"Third, the field of high-tech artificial intelligence."

Although Caroline and Isabella were already considered close friends with Tang Tang in the US region, this was the first time the three of them had so openly and frankly discussed their goals and ideals.

Of course, everyone kept some things to themselves, but when they heard about Tang Tang's three target areas, both Caroline and Isabella gasped.

There's no other reason than these three areas are just too expensive!

The only relatively good option is probably Hollywood film studios. Investing in the entertainment industry is quite profitable. As long as the IP is correct and popular, or the plot isn't too bad and the actors are popular, then making money from movies can indeed be very quick.

Most importantly, making movies pays out quickly. You can make money as soon as the movie is released after one or two years of investment, unlike other long-term projects where it may be a long time before you can recoup your investment.

...For example, the pharmaceutical industry, and artificial intelligence.

Caroline stared at Tang Tang and muttered to herself, "My dear Nikolayta, although it's not quite right for me to say this, have you ever thought that if you want to make money in the pharmaceutical industry and artificial intelligence... you might as well rob a bank instead?"

After all, both of these industries are known to be extremely capital-intensive and difficult to succeed in!

Isabella chuckled upon hearing this, then said softly, "Robbing a bank is illegal... but it's not impossible."

Tang Tang glanced at Isabella.

She knew that Isabella had three hedge fund teams on Wall Street, one large and two small, specifically to oversee her funds and the stock market.

Hiring a group of thugs to rob a bank with real guns is terrorism and illegal, but if you raise a group of Wall Street speculators, seize opportunities to short a few banks and small businesses, bankrupt your targets and then take them over... that would actually be a higher return than robbing a bank.

It's unethical; driving someone into bankruptcy is no different from forcing them to jump off a roof. Of course, capital is ruthless. From another perspective, you can't entirely blame us for your bankruptcy; after all, we were just seizing the opportunity to strike.

...To put it bluntly: if it weren't for your own mismanagement, how could our opportunistic attack have been so successful?

Well, Wall Street investment banks don't have a very good reputation in the US financial world, especially for many emerging companies, including tech companies that don't have much cash flow.

The term "wolves of Wall Street" is not a positive one, because for most companies, these people on Wall Street are like greedy wolves, trying to use various means to invade their companies and gain shares or control.

This kind of intrusion is forced; those on Wall Street will use various economic markets, such as funds, stocks, or other policies, to cause stock market volatility in the target company, etc.

In short:

I've taken a liking to your company. I'll come and have a "good talk" with you first. If you sell me some of your shares, then we can have a pleasant collaboration and everyone will be happy!

If you don't sell me your shares voluntarily, fine, then I'll use all sorts of methods to mess with you... How could a small company like yours with no foundation possibly withstand my coercion?

In the end, they had to give in and were forced to sell their shares to me!

This is the operating logic of Wall Street. They lurk behind the stock market, searching for targets on every day the market is closed, ready to devour them like robbers.

They are speculators; Wall Street's profits represent losses for other companies or funds.

Their cheers may very well conceal the enormous sound of a bankrupt boss jumping off a building.

But despite the talk, nobody really cares. After all, capital doesn't care about sentiment; the winner takes all, and the loser is left with only death.

Both Caroline and Isabella knew the purpose of Tang Tang's invitation to collaborate.

The Kensington family has a high level of influence in the United States, and the Kensington family itself is also adjusting its business. Cooperating with Tang Tang is a win-win situation.

“If you don’t mind, you could also consider Eric,” Caroline said with a wink to Tang Tang. “Eric is smarter and more capable than me. If you cooperate with Eric, he will help you clear away all obstacles, Nikolayta.”

Tang Tang and Caroline's older brother, Eric, are both extremely ambitious. However, if Caroline were to act as a bridge between them, their cooperation would likely be much smoother.

“Okay,” Tang Tang nodded and smiled. “I think it’s a good idea.”

She changed the subject, "I contacted a friend who is a princess of the British royal family, you may know her—Princess Kelly."

“Oh! Princess Kelly!” Caroline covered her mouth in surprise. “I know her. I heard she is very much loved by Her Majesty the Queen.”

“Maybe?” Tang Tang said directly, “Kelly said she would arrange for someone to pick us up… I think you two should get along well.”
