Reborn Capital Empire

Chapter two hundred and ninety-six Guo

…

It was the first time Guo Shouyun came to the Hilton Hotel in New York. However, he has long since lost his sense of the luxurious decorations around him. Seeing that it was still early before the auction started, I found a seat in the VIP area of ​​the hotel restaurant and sat down.

About ten minutes later, there were crisp footsteps behind him. At the moment when Guo Shouyun turned around, a white-collar beauty wearing a black lady's business suit with a white shirt and golden hair pulled up behind his head appeared in front of him.

The latter unceremoniously sat down on the sofa opposite him, then picked up the lemonade in front of Guo Shouyun and drank it with a few gulps.

"Matthew, let them serve! By the way, two more glasses of lemonade!"

"Yes, boss!"

After the bodyguard turned and left, Guo Shouyun smiled and said, "Why are you so thirsty?"

"I've been arguing with Mars management for a day today, and my throat is dry!" Katherine Lincoln, who put down the glass, said while wiping the corner of her mouth.

"Really? From what you look like now, the negotiation was successful?"

"Of course! In the future, when Baccarat sells Mars products, you can delay payment for one month!"

"It's only a month...!"

Before Guo Shouyun could finish speaking, Catherine Lincoln's eyes widened instantly.

"It's only been a month, so it's easy for you to say it. You know that Mars is one of the top ten food giants in the United States. Its Mars, Dove, Snickers, Baolu, and Weijia are all hot-selling products. Win this one. A month's delay in payment would have increased our profits by 0.6 percentage points, or nearly $2 million in profits!"

"Okay, okay, don't get excited. I'm just talking about it. I will definitely remember your hard work in my heart!" Guo Shouyun smiled and comforted Fa Xiao in front of him.

After a cold snort, "Tell me, what's the matter with me this time?"

"You look first!"

When the words fell, Guo Shouyun took out a document and handed it over.

"these are…?"

"17 farms, 5 slaughterhouses, and 2 transportation companies, worth $2.1 billion. And they all fit within the Guo's business scope!"

Catherine simply flipped, "Where did it come from?"

"I bought a lot of companies this year. They are assets that do not meet the main business after the company's internal integration and plan to sell!"

"Is that so? ... Is there a loss?" Catherine nodded and continued to ask while flipping through the information in her hand.

"Only one slaughterhouse lost money, but I've seen it. It lost money because of old equipment and a fine from the local health department, so there was a paper loss. Also, you know, agriculture and other The related industries are all industries with low profits but stable returns, as long as they operate carefully, there will be no real losses.”

Katherine Lincoln nodded, and after a while raised the information in Yang's hand, "You plan to let Guo's buy these assets!"

"Well, as long as the market price is fine...!"

"No money!"

Before Guo Shouyun finished speaking, he was interrupted cleanly by the other party.

"No money? How is it possible, I'm calling you $10 million a month, and Guo's profitability is not low, how can there be no money!"

"You are used to being a shopkeeper, and you don't even know the internal financial situation of the Guo family." After pouting her lips in disdain, Catherine stretched out her slender fingers, "First of all, we are a Baccarat store, property, decoration, personnel. , products, all these are neatly arranged, and a 100-square-meter store costs 400,000 to 500,000 US dollars. Now Guo's has 442 branches in the United States, and only these stores cost 210 million US dollars. "

"Don't think I don't know, at most half of the 442 branches have properties." Guo Shouyun interrupted.

"You don't have to pay for a farm? There are slaughterhouses and transportation companies, and food processing plants, which cost money. The average price of a 10,000-acre farm is $80 million, and now we have 23, 92,000 acres. For a slaughterhouse that slaughtered 50,000 large livestock a year, the site, equipment and personnel would cost 50 million US dollars, and now we have 17 slaughterhouses with an annual slaughtering capacity of 270,000 large livestock.”

"A Kenworth heavy truck is $80,000, a mid-size truck is $50,000, a Ford light truck is $20,000, and now the company has 197 heavy trucks, 423 light trucks, and 972 light trucks! In addition, we have 41 more Catering production center, each catering production center that can produce three meals for 5,000 people needs to invest 800,000 US dollars!"

"Count all of these, is the money you invested enough? ... If it wasn't for me and Zhixing working hard all these years, how could it be possible that Guo's business group has an astonishing scale of nearly $1 billion in assets now."

Seeing the proud expression on Fa Xiaoqiao's face and the slyness in his eyes, Guo Shouyun not only smiled bitterly, "I hear you mean that all these assets are given away for nothing?"

"It's your company anyway, so it doesn't matter what happens. If you're worried about finances, that's easy. Didn't you just make a lot of money from the gold market? You just want to put your money on the line, In the future, when the Guo family is strong and rich, it will not be too late!" Catherine waved her hand and said arrogantly.

"Procrastinating and talking so much, it turns out that I am thinking about the money in my hand!"

"I heard that you Chinese people need dowry when they get married, and they also need to save some dowry money!"

"Dowry? Liu Zhixing promised to marry you?" Guo Shouyun asked curiously.

"Not yet!" Catherine sighed, then annoyed, "He said he couldn't forget his wife."

With what he knew about Liu Zhixing, he could say such a thing.

"You still haven't given up?"

"Of course not. It's rare to meet such a loving and righteous man, and I'm going to set him up!" Catherine clenched her fists, her face showing the look of "fixing Qingshan and not letting go".

"Just be happy!" Guo Shouyun shrugged. Knowing Catherine's character, he didn't waste his words.

"Oh, that's right. You are really not enough friends. You don't even tell me when you have children. If you hadn't come home and met your parents, I wouldn't even know you were the father of two children!"

"Didn't you be busy negotiating with Mars some time ago, so I didn't tell you to avoid distraction. Besides, my two children can't run, so you can watch it when you have free time!"

"Can this be the same? I'm their aunt anyway, so I need to know the news as soon as possible!"

"Okay, okay. Can't I apologize?" Guo Shouyun said with a smile.

Now as his status is getting higher and higher, there are fewer and fewer people around him who can chat without any scruples. By now, with the exception of Katherine, even a grown-up Matta Lincoln has become a bit restrained in front of him. So he enjoyed the opportunity to sit down and joke with Katherine.

"Forgive you! ... By the way, did the two little guys have names?"

"The girl's name is Elizabeth. Bevin Guo, and the boy's name is George Bevin Guo! The Chinese names are Guo Ruiyun and Guo Ruigen!" Guo Shouyun nodded and said.

"The name is really nice! When will you bring them back for everyone to see?"

"After a while, the child is still too young!"

Catherine nodded, "I guess my parents won't be able to wait that long."

"Actually, Uncle Blair and Aunt Mary have called me and they're flying from San Francisco to London the day after tomorrow and then on to Essect to see the kids!"

"Hehe, I knew it! ... It's a pity that Mata is preparing for the wedding, and Gordon is still in the military, otherwise we can all get together!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, and there was also a trace of regret on his face!

The four of them grew up together. Although they are not brothers and sisters, they are more like brothers and sisters.

"Life is still so long, there will always be time to get together in the future!"

"Of course!" Catherine nodded affirmatively.

"Anything else tonight?"

"Um?"

Looking at her puzzled expression, Guo Shouyun took out two invitations from his pocket.

"Invitation to two VIP seats from Christie's! If you're not busy at night, come with me!"

"Christie's autumn auction?"

Having said that, Catherine took the invitation letter in her hand and looked at it.

After looking through it, "Forget it, you'd better go by yourself. After arguing with Mars for a long time, I'm exhausted, and now I don't want to do anything except eat and sleep!"

"Okay!" Guo Shouyun didn't force it.

After the two of them had a few bites of dinner, "Catherine, do you still remember what I told you about Guo's development strategy?"

Guo Shouyun's serious expression made Catherine in her eyes stunned for a moment! After a flash of thought in his eyes, "That radical strategy?"

"Hmm! ... Originally I thought that the Nasdaq crisis and the Argentine debt crisis would make the U.S. economy really bottom out at the end of the year. But I didn't expect the accident of 9.11! Therefore, Congress, the government, and the Federal Reserve intervened in the economy. Policy will come sooner than expected, especially the Federal Reserve interest rate, will be further reduced, and then the interest rate of commercial loans will also be reduced, and this is our opportunity!"

Catherine nodded thoughtfully. Up to now, Guo's expansion is all due to Guo Shouyun's investment and his own profit. At the beginning, in order to raise funds for the acquisition of Apple and the principal of the battle in the gold market, Guo Shouyun used Guo as collateral and issued about 200 million US dollars of ABS asset-backed securities. Compared to Guo's assets of nearly $1 billion, the debt of 200 million is not a big burden.

"After you go back, you can use the assets in Guo's hands to secure the loan, and you can borrow as much as you can, and try to choose a ten-year repayment period. Also, when the company expands, give priority to buying high-quality communities that are suitable for us, as well as downtown businesses. The storefront in the area! Even if there is no suitable staff for the time being, and the storefront cannot be opened yet, the property must be bought first! If the funds are not enough, I will make it up for you!”

Katherine, who graduated from Harvard's Department of Economics and Management, is also a shrewd person. She quickly heard the taste from Guo Shouyun's words.

"Do you think U.S. real estate will usher in an upswing?"

"Well! It's been ten years since the last rising cycle of real estate, and it's time for another wave of growth~www.wuxiaspot.com~ And, is there anything better than real estate to drive economic growth?"

Catherine nodded solemnly. When it comes to changes in the group's business strategy, she cannot be careless.

"Don't worry, even if our judgment is wrong. We won't lose anything if we have the property in our hands. At most, it's just too much loan, which threatens the company's financial balance. But do you think I'm still afraid of financial imbalance now?"

"You damned capitalist!"

Thinking of the growth rate of Guo Shouyun's wealth, Catherine was also relieved.

"I love this title!"

After rolling his eyes, "Since you judge that the real estate market is about to rise, why don't you take the opportunity to make a fortune?"

"Who said I won't go, it's just not enough time!"

Originally, Catherine wanted to continue to ask out of curiosity, but after thinking about it, let it go. Even friends, there are places they can't touch each other. Moreover, one Guo Shi is enough for her to be busy, and there is still time to care about real estate matters.

The two chatted while eating, and finished dinner in about an hour. After sending Catherine away, Guo Shouyun walked to the banquet hall on the third floor of the hotel with the invitation letter in his hand.
