The sky-high acquisition of SOHO China is not Blackstone's biggest acquisition in the United States this year, but only the second acquisition. As for why the word "just seconds" is used to describe this acquisition, the reason is very simple, that is, only one quarter has passed this year. For Blackstone in the United States, this is just an appetizer, and the real highlight is at the end of the year or at the end of the year. ?

After all, for a company with assets under management exceeding $500 billion and an investment company, the acquisition of more than $4 billion is just their daily operation. This kind of thing that is a big scene in our eyes is a basic exercise in their eyes, and it is something that others do every day.
It should also be noted that Blackstone is an investment management company in the United States. Compared with other companies, most of the market value can only be used. Investment management companies like Blackstone are very flexible. Their cash flow is terrible. For example, in the first three quarters of 20 19, the capital inflow of Blackstone in the United States reached about150 billion US dollars, equivalent to five Baidu.
What they need to do is to preserve and increase the value of this $654.38+050 billion asset. To achieve this, they need to keep buying in buy buy. In companies of the same size, only investment companies can do this. If necessary, they can easily raise more than10 billion dollars. By March 2020, their biggest acquisition has used nearly $654.38+0.7 billion at one time, which is only a book outflow, not including secrets. You can imagine how terrible their strength is.
