"Duch, I even thought you were going to miss our party before Christmas this year." Adam on the other end of the phone joked.

"Of course not, in fact I'm thinking about this. Now there is still one month before Christmas. Do you have a suitable place?"

"Not yet, do you have any suggestions?"

Since graduating from high school, Duches, Adam, Melis and Semp will choose a suitable day to gather together a few days before Christmas every year to talk about the gains and losses of the year.

At first there were only four people, but later, there were also other people joining. Most of the people who joined were friends known to the four people, and they had to be close-knit ones.

Before we knew it, a party with a large scale but great influence was formed. Because the four founders of Duqi, who came to attend the party, are now very prosperous. The people who joined later all have considerable capital or have huge industries in their family. It can be said to be an alternative fraternity, but they have not officially made a name to the outside world.

As the initiator, there is also a well-known super rich man who started from scratch. Duqi undoubtedly has a very high status in this team. In addition to Duqi, it is Adam and Melis. After all, their recent businesses have also been very successful.

Haiqubao Company is now a famous toy company in the United States, with many well-known series of toys. Most of this group are young generations under the age of thirty. Apart from Duches, it is Adam's highest achievement.

After the establishment of Melis' Lver brand, he encountered a lot of problems. He has lost a lot of money so far, mainly because his reputation is not enough, and sales have become a problem.

The establishment of fashion brands has never been smooth sailing. Every new brand appears, it will squeeze the market of other brands and naturally face various competitions.

As for the so-called fashion trends, word of mouth is very important. If you want to expand your influence, in addition to promoting it in traditional fashion-related media and magazines, Melis also reached cooperation with many Hollywood agency and film companies through Duches' introduction, and through actors and film works, it will increase the popularity of the LV brand.

Now some people know about LV, but if you want to truly embrace the brand image, you still need long-term publicity or an opportunity.

Every party, most people choose to stay near Los Angeles, where Adam or Melis are provided. This time Duchess said, "This Christmas party will be held in my Star Manor!"

"Fanxing Manor! Wow! My brother, is your manor completed?" Adam asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm ready to hold a grand celebration party for you!"

"In fact, the construction has not been completed yet. The main body of the building is only accepted. If the decoration is completed, it will only be a small part of it. It will take two months to complete it. However, the main building of the most central manor has been renovated, and the furniture and other things have been completed, so it can be used to hold parties."

"That's great. I've wanted to see your manor for a long time. Now I'll take advantage of the party opportunity to see your main building is also good, but after the construction is really completed, I will contract the party wine!"

Duqi also smiled and said, "Thank you Adam, I'm not polite to you. Is Semp still in Los Angeles? I happen to have a job to find him."

"He is in New York now and has an economic dispute case. But a few days ago, he said he was about to finish his work and should be back soon. What are you planning to do when you find him?"

"We have discussed Adam before this." Duqi did not mean to hide it from the other party, and had discussed it with the other party before: "It's about creating a private equity fund!"

"Really, my friend, this is the best news I have heard this year. After you told me last time, I contacted some friends. Many of them have investment ideas. Just because I and my father's side, I can raise 200 million US dollars in one month. Can you eat it?"

"Of course there is no problem with Adam." Duqi said with a smile: "Since I mentioned it to you last time, I have carefully considered the fund issue myself. Now I have decided to expand the scale of the funds raised, with the initial reservation of 3 billion US dollars. The more investment you can help you get, the better."

When Adam was shocked when he heard Duqi like this, he said, "Three billion US dollars, you really plan to raise so much money!"

Duqi said with great certainty: "Yes, the more funds, the better, and there is no need to worry that I can't afford it. The latest Forbes rankings have come out. Apple has a good prospect, and its market value has been nearly twice as high as last year. The value of my shares is more than 1.6 billion US dollars.

In addition, Yigo Supermarket was listed two weeks ago, and its market value is now over $2 billion, which doubles the estimated stock price when Forbes announced and is still increasing. I now hold 47 shares.

There is also the shares of HaQubao 30, you should know its value. In addition, I invested in Oracle before and owned its 15 shares. After rngzi, it was diluted to 116 and Disney 15 shares.

These are just listed companies, and the value of shares has been announced in Forbes' reports. They are now higher than before. The total value has exceeded 4 billion US dollars, so don't worry about the principal."

More than a month ago, in the list of Forbes's global rich list, Duqi's wealth was evaluated as US$4.6 billion with the shares of the company mentioned earlier, including Jinsi Technology, logistics company, and many other unlisted companies, as well as the copyright value of his own farm, Star Manor, Ice and Fire Song, and his personal belongings.

This ranking does not count Ducky's entire wealth, such as Shengshi Bank, which was directly hidden. This result was also the result of Ducky and Forbes Magazine's discussion.

A Chinese became the richest man in the world, which caused a huge sensation around the world. When he returned to the United States and saw this news, Nicole Kidman showed more enthusiasm than before when he was with Duches that night.

In fact, the title of first place is sometimes really important. For most ordinary people, they will remember first place and rarely remember who is second place.
