…

"Walk together?"

Ratan Tata suggested. ?шщЩ.suimEnG.1a

"OK!"

After being polite to each other, the two walked in the huge factory area of ​​Dabor Steel Plant. Surrounded by huge steel fabrication equipment that has been installed and is being commissioned, followed by a large number of assistants, bodyguards and staff.

"Mr. Guo, what do you think of this steel plant?"

"Very good. I believe that with the rich management experience and technical support of Tata Steel, 'Dabor Steel' will become a steel production enterprise that attracts international attention."

"I think so too. At the same time, I am very grateful to Mr. Guo for choosing Tata in this cooperation project. It is our honor!"

"Mr. Tata is over the top. In fact, we just chose the best steel company in India to work with."

After a simple courtesy, the two sides consciously began to get to the point.

"Mr. Guo, what do you think of the Indian market?"

"There's a lot of potential. Otherwise I wouldn't be here to invest!"

Ratan Tata nodded.

"This country has a population of nearly 1.1 billion. Although nearly 20% of the population is in difficulty now, this does not hinder the attractiveness of the Indian market. Also, the country has been opening up since 1991. For any plan Now is a great opportunity for companies investing in India.”

"Mr. Tata, can I regard this sentence as an invitation code?" Guo Shouyun smiled.

"Actually, this is an invitation. ... Mr. Guo, Tata Group has many businesses, such as steel, power, IT, and chemicals. I think we can cooperate more extensively with Anping in this regard."

"I'm very interested in cooperation. But I don't know what kind of cooperation Mr. Tata refers to?"

"Power and chemical industry! It can be seen from the Dabor project that Mr. Guo is very interested in the Indian power market. However, the setback of the Dabor project also makes Mr. Guo understand the complexity of the Indian power market. Moreover, for India As far as the government and the people are concerned, Anping Power has always been an outsider. No matter in terms of political influence, public sentiment, or understanding of India, Tata Power is above Anping Power. I think Mr. Guo should admit this. ?"

"Admit! No one will argue with that."

"Mr. Guo is very sincere." After a pause, "Tata Power has extensive influence and social foundation in the Indian market, while Anping Power has sufficient capital, combined with our respective advantages, the future power market in India will be ours. the world. The same is true for chemical, IT and steel.”

Looking at the anticipation and enthusiasm in the other's eyes, Guo Shouyun thought for a moment, "Mr. Tata's ambition is really surprising!"

"In this regard, I think Mr. Guo is stronger than me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have created a huge Guo consortium from scratch in just three years!"

"The consortium doesn't dare to act. I'm just curious, if we cooperate with each other, how will the shares be distributed? Who owns the management rights?"

"Concrete analysis of specific projects. I believe that Mr. Guo will never do anything that suffers! Of course, Tata Group has never hurt its partners in cooperation over the past 100 years since its establishment! Always adhere to fairness, justice and win-win results. The cooperative attitude of Tata is the foundation of Tata's growth to the present."

After taking a deep look at the old but confident man across from him, Guo Shouyun nodded slowly.

"So Mr Tata wants us to have a long-term partnership?"

"Yes, long-term cooperation. In the next ten years, continuous cooperation with an investment scale of no less than 10 billion US dollars!" Ratan Tata affirmed.

Guo Shouyun's pupils shrank, "Mr. Tata, ten billion dollars is not a small amount."

"It's not a small number. But I believe it's not a difficult number for Mr. Guo!" Ratan Tata narrowed his eyes, "Wall Street is now paying attention to Mr. Guo's movements in oil futures. ."

"If Mr. Tata is interested, I can show you a few games!" Guo Shouyun smiled lightly.

"Thank you Mr. Guo for your kindness. However, I am old and very conservative. The capital market is turbulent, and I am afraid that I will not make any money, so I will drown in it first. Moreover, compared with the figures in the financial account, I I prefer industries that can be seen and touched, especially heavy industry!"

"Cautiousness is a valuable quality. ... However, cooperation is no small matter, and I need time to think about it."

"Of course! ... By the way, I heard that Mr. Guo is looking for a house in Mumbai?"

"Mr. Ratan is really well-informed."

"Hehe, you always have to be more concerned about the distinguished guests." After a pause, "Mr. Guo, I have a villa in the Karil community here. If Mr. Guo doesn't dislike it, I will give it to Mr. Guo. ."

Looking at the key that Ratan Tata handed to him, Guo Shouyun was stunned for a moment, and then took it.

The Tao is the exchange of courtesy, and the exchange of interests has always been the best way to deepen the relationship. Now that it has chosen to cooperate with Tata on the Dabor Steel Plant. So whether there will be more cooperation in the future. He won't take the other party's good intentions.

Seeing Guo Shouyun accept it, the smile on Ratan Tata's face grew even more. Because it represents a signal of a willingness to deepen our connection with each other. It's what he likes.

"Let's go, I'll take Mr. Guo around here. Dabor Phase I is 6 million tons, Phase II is 7 million tons, and the accompanying steel rolling equipment is an exciting steel giant!"

"I've wanted to see it for a long time, and it's even more rare to have Mr. Tata in company today!"

"Please!"

"Please!"

Guo Shouyun took Rebecca back to the hotel after earning a lap at the Dabor Steel Plant and being invited to have dinner with Ratan Tata.

Looking at the man who turned the villa key from Ratan Tata with his fingers, his eyes were thoughtful and silent, Rebecca frowned, "Boss, for Ratan Tata's cooperation proposal, you Are you ready to agree?"

"Do you think I should agree?"

After looking at her, Guo Shouyun said indifferently.

"I think it should be agreed, but the depth of cooperation needs to be carefully considered!"

"continue!"

Rebecca nodded, "According to the group's plan, the investment in the next ten years will focus on the Chinese market. Although the Indian market is huge, it has more potential. But when will this potential be released, no one in the world can Accurate prediction. But it is definitely impossible within ten years with India's current state. This means that the Indian market is only a profit point for the entire Anping Company, and cannot become the focus of investment. Therefore, 10 billion US dollars The total amount of cooperation is a bit too exaggerated for us, and it is not worth it. Therefore, I think $2 billion to $0 billion is appropriate.”

"As for the comprehensive cooperation with Tata Group, there is no problem. In the complex market of India, it is beneficial for us to have a partner who is familiar with the local market and has more experience. We also need time to accumulate development experience in the Indian market. ."

"So your attitude is that cooperation is okay, but you need to reduce the scale of cooperation!" Guo Shouyun said after pondering for a while.

"It can be understood in this way. In addition, the power industry is the main business of Anping Company, and it is also the key business industry of Tata Group. At the same time of cooperation, it is necessary to clearly allocate the financial rights and management rights of the enterprise."

Guo Shouyun nodded, "Anything else?"

"There's only so much I can think of for now!"

"If you have any new ideas, let me know."

"Yes!...That's right, boss. Just received the news that the Iraqi ambassador to the United Nations announced that Iraq unconditionally accepts UN Resolution 1441 requiring it to destroy weapons of mass destruction, allowing UN weapons inspectors to return to Baghdad after nearly four years away After the news was acknowledged by the UN Secretary-General Annan, the international oil price immediately fell by 55 cents. It has now fallen back to $2.19 a barrel, and it is still falling slowly. "

After becoming Guo Shouyun's temporary assistant, daily reporting on Iraq, oil, gold, and major international news has become Rebecca's daily routine.

"Is there any new news from the United States?" Guo Shouyun asked after nodding.

"President Bush is still stressing that the Iraqi Congress is just a rubber stamp for Saddam Hussein, there is no democracy at all, that Saddam Hussein was a dictator. Insist on Iraq to be investigated by the United Nations, or he will lead a coalition to disarm Saddam Hussein by force. Damm's force."

"It seems that Mr. President's tone has not changed." Guo Shouyun said with a smile.

"Yes! So now the outside world has new doubts about the possibility of the Iraq war breaking out. The prices of value-preserving products such as oil and gold have dropped a lot." After a pause, Rebecca looked at the man beside her. "Boss, you don't seem to be worried about this news at all?"

"Worried? Worried about what?"

"Your investment! According to the "Wall Street Journal" report, the Thunder Fund invested more than $20 billion in oil futures this time! The fall in oil prices will put pressure on all capital bulls."

"It's just pressure. I've been under more pressure than this, let alone now? As for oil prices, when oil prices fall back below $20, I may feel a little bit of pressure. ... However, from now on After that, it is difficult for the international oil price to fall below US$20 again." Guo Shouyun's eyes were a little erratic.

After a long silence, Rebecca asked, "Do you think the Iraq war will break out?"

"You care?"

After looking at her, Guo Shouyun said indifferently.

"Yes! Iraq is not Afghanistan, she is the world's second largest oil producer. If a war breaks out, the impact on the world economy will be unimaginable."

Guo Shouyun nodded.

"As a senior executive of Anping Company, you should be very aware of where the funds obtained from the company's liquidation of assets over the years have been used in addition to maintaining the company's operations, repaying debts, and a small amount of investment."

Rebecca was silent, of course she knew.

Over the past year ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ through its partnership with Phoenix Capital, Enron Pacific has sold $17.9 billion worth of assets. The proceeds, coupled with Guo Shouyun's investment, gave Anping a huge sum of $2.1 billion throughout 2002. 10% of this money, combined with Anping's revenue, has reduced the company's debt from nearly $70 billion when Pan Pacific and Enron merged to $61.8 billion today. Equipment depreciation fell by six percentage points and capital reserves increased to $52.9 billion.

0% of the remaining funds are used for Enron Power Company, three power plant projects with a total installed capacity of 60 million megawatts in California, Ohio, and Arizona, as well as power projects in Dabor, Brazil, and some small power plants new construction and expansion.

Another 10% is placed on the construction of Anping Energy Company and Anping Commodity Trading Website.

The last 50% was used by Anping Oil and Gas Company. Therefore, in the past year, the company has bought more than 20 oil fields, and the company's assets have doubled to nearly 0 billion US dollars.

All this proves that Guo Shouyun attaches great importance to oil, especially crude oil.

It is this kind of emphasis that makes the company's assets rise rapidly with the rise in oil prices.
