Chapter 467 Borrowing

Before Mr. Guo finished speaking, he saw the old housekeeper of the Guo family walking in quickly, and then Zheng Yutong's voice came from the hall door: "Mr. Guo, I'm not late, am I?"

Following the sound, Zheng Yutong took Zheng Jiayi's hand and appeared at the door of the hall. Mr. Guo, Fang Mingyuan and others all stood up and stepped forward to greet them! After everyone held hands and exchanged greetings, the guests and hosts took their seats.

Zheng Yutong patted Zheng Jiayi's hand and said: "Jiayi, let Jing'er take you to visit Grandpa Guo's mansion and see what is more outstanding compared to ours!"

Zheng Jiayi stood up knowingly, and Yu Qiuxia also patted her daughter on the head and said: "Qing'er, go and accompany Sister Zheng around our house!" Qing'er stood up reluctantly and spoke with her.

She hadn't seen Fang Mingyuan for so long. At this time, she didn't want to leave Fang Mingyuan's side at all.

After Zheng Jiayi and Qing'er left the living room, the old housekeeper closed the hall door knowingly, but stood outside the hall door.

Zheng Yutong then cleared his throat and said, "Mingyuan, you are one of the few people who comes to Hong Kong during the Chinese New Year."

Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "Grandpa Zheng, Grandpa Guo, I come to Hong Kong this time to ask for something from you!"

"Can you ask for something from us?" Zheng Yutong said in surprise. How could Fang Mingyuan ask for something from him? Could it be that he and Jiayi?

"Yes, I want to borrow money!" Fang Mingyuan said.

"Borrowing?" Zheng Yutong was even more confused. As far as he knew, the Fang family had made substantial profits in many fields in the past few years. He had never heard of the Fang family's

News of the industry's losses spread. Moreover, the global hit of "Titanic" has become a cash machine for Kumho Film Group, frantically absorbing funds from all over the world!

The Kuok Shipping Group, in which Fang Mingyuan has a stake, has also been in a stage of rapid development in recent years, and its annual income has increased significantly. Its own Chow Tai Fook Bank has also purchased US dollars from Fang Mingyuan for more than a year.

With a huge amount of diamond roughs worth hundreds of millions, according to this estimate, the funds that can be used in Fang Mingyuan's hands must be at least a billion US dollars!

Moreover, Zheng Yutong also knew that the Fang family had a large number of companies in Japan and Russia. If all these funds were put together, the billions of dollars would probably be small! Fang Mingyuan actually wanted to borrow money again? Could it be said that Fang Mingyuan still wanted to borrow money?

What big projects are you planning to build? Are you planning to build a new oil refining plant?

"Yes, borrow money!" Fang Mingyuan nodded heavily and said, "The more, the better! As much as you want, the loan period is one year! The interest is 25%!"

"Twenty-five percent?" Zheng Yutong was surprised. This interest rate is not high compared to loan sharks, but if it allows Fang Mingyuan to open his mouth to borrow money, if the amount is less than four to five billion Hong Kong dollars, it will be like a joke! And the number

A one billion Hong Kong dollar loan for one year, with an interest rate of 25%, is not low! What’s more, Fang Mingyuan said the more the better, as much as you can get!

"Mingyuan, I want to ask, is your Fang family planning any big projects? Of course, if it's not convenient to say it, then there's no need to say it!" Zheng Yutong said. He noticed Mr. Guo and Yu Qiuxia

Sitting there as steady as a rock, it was obvious that they had known about Fang Mingyuan's request in advance. Zheng Yutong couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart. But he also understood that the relationship between Fang Mingyuan and the Guo family was closer than the relationship with the Zheng family.

Compared with the help the Guo family gave to the Fang family back then, what the Zheng family is doing now can only be said to be the icing on the cake!

Thinking of this, Zheng Yutong couldn't help but secretly blame his granddaughter Zheng Jiayi for not being able to keep Fang Mingyuan under her pomegranate skirt! In the past year, although there was contact between the two parties, there was no close contact. This made Yixin think

Seeing the two parties holding hands, Zheng Yutong felt even more disappointed!

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and said: "Grandpa Zheng, actually there is nothing to hide. This is also related to the second thing I want to talk to you two!"

Zheng Yutong couldn't help but feel even more surprised. What was the reason for this?

"Grandpa Zheng, I personally believe that in the second half of this year, Southeast Asian countries are likely to face a large-scale financial crisis! Just like Mexico not long ago!" Fang Mingyuan said solemnly.

"Ah?" Zheng Yutong's hand trembled and he almost dropped the tea cup in his hand! Of course he was no stranger to the Mexican financial crisis. This was a crisis that shook North and South America from the end of 1994 to the beginning of 1995, and spread to

Europe and Asia have written heavy financial disasters in the history of modern finance!

The Mexican government suddenly announced that its currency, the peso, had devalued by 15%, causing great panic among investors in the market. Investors frantically sold the peso and snapped up dollars, causing the peso exchange rate to drop sharply! In just three days,

At that time, the exchange rate of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar plummeted by nearly 50%! Moreover, with the sharp depreciation of the peso, foreign investors withdrew their funds in large numbers. In just three days, Mexico's foreign exchange reserves plummeted.

With a loss of nearly 6 billion US dollars, the entire Mexican financial market is in chaos!

Moreover, 70 to 80 percent of the foreign investment absorbed by Mexico was speculative short-term securities investment. The capital outflow caused by the plummeting exchange rate was like a drain on the Mexican stock market, and the Mexican stock market immediately fell in response. By March before the 1995 Plan, Mexico

The stock market index has dropped a total of 54.7% from the highest point of 28 before the outbreak of the financial crisis. The decline in the stock market has even exceeded the depreciation of the peso.

Moreover, the Mexican financial crisis has also had a serious impact on the economies of other Latin American countries such as Argentina, Brazil, and Chile. Since their economic structures are generally similar to Mexico, they all have heavy debts, trade deficits, and high currency values ​​to varying degrees.

Due to economic problems such as economic problems, foreign investors investing here were worried that the Mexican financial crisis would spread to all Latin American countries, so they sold their stocks in these countries one after another, triggering a collective plunge in the stock markets of Latin American countries! At the same time, the stock markets of European and Asian countries

It was also affected to a certain extent and fell slightly.

This financial crisis lasted until the middle of 1995. With the gradual arrival of assistance from various countries around the world and the IMF, it slowly subsided. However, it caused serious consequences to the economic development of Mexico and Latin American countries.

The negative impact has not gone away to this day! Rich people like Zheng Yutong sometimes gather together and occasionally talk about the Mexican financial crisis, but they still have lingering fears!

Although in the past two years, Fang Mingyuan has occasionally revealed his concerns about the current situation of Southeast Asian countries, he has never made it clear like today that Southeast Asian countries will face a large-scale financial crisis in the second half of the year.

Come.

If... if a financial crisis similar to that of Mexico really breaks out in Southeast Asian countries... Zheng Yutong couldn't help but tremble! In that case, Hong Kong will definitely be inevitable!

It's just that Zheng Yutong was still a little lucky, so he turned his attention to Mr. Guo, wanting to see Mr. Guo's reaction to this.

Mr. Guo noticed the gaze he cast, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Mr. Zheng, I won't hide it from you. Regarding Mingyuan's judgment, I think it is very possible from several aspects! There is no need to say anything else.

Having said that, I will only tell you that Mingyuan successfully seized the opportunity of the Mexican financial crisis and made a profit of US$5.7 billion in one fell swoop!"

Zheng Yutong couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He looked at Fang Mingyuan and was speechless for a long time! Fifty-seven billion U.S. dollars, even if you look at the whole world, this figure is still a huge amount for an individual. Many people are called

A capitalist person may not be able to earn this amount in his lifetime. But Fang Mingyuan, listening to Mr. Guo, it seems that it will be effortless.

In fact, if you are really sure about the time period when a financial crisis will occur in a certain country, as long as you have enough funds on hand, it is really easy to make money! If it weren’t for Fang Mingyuan not being willing to alarm those hedge funds, let alone

There is a blacklist in the financial departments of Mexico and other countries around the world. Otherwise, it is not impossible to double this amount!

It took Zheng Yutong a long time to return to normal. He looked at the teacup in his hand and said with a wry smile: "Mingyuan, why do you give me a bigger surprise every time I think I can see through you a little bit? Isn't that true?

It is true that a hero comes from a young age. Compared with you, I am old!"

Mr. Guo patted his shoulder with deep sympathy and said: "Mr. Zheng, just be satisfied. My old heart has been broken by him for nearly ten years! Do you know why our Guo Shipping Group started?

Can the tanker fleet be suddenly expanded?”

"Why?" Zheng Yutong asked immediately. To be honest, Hong Kong's richest people have discussed this question many times in private. No one can figure out why the Guo family's funds suddenly dropped after the first Gulf War.

Suddenly we became rich. Not only did we purchase a large number of various transport ships and oil tankers, we also paid off part of the bank loans!"

"Because, during the Gulf War, that is, before Kuwait was invaded by Iraq, it was about half a year. This guy came to me and used the various properties of his family as collateral and insisted on borrowing money from me! I

I was very surprised at the time, what was he borrowing so much money for?" Mr. Guo said in a mysterious manner, "Guess?"

"Oh, Mr. Guo, please stop showing off!" At this time, Zheng Yutong was just scratching his head. How could he still be in the mood to play this trick with Mr. Guo?

"Haha, forget it, I won't tease you anymore, let me tell you, this guy is going to use this money to do oil futures! Bet that the price of oil will skyrocket in the future!" Mr. Guo said with a proud smile.

"Did the bet win?" Zheng Yutong said subconsciously, but before Mr. Guo could answer, he slapped his forehead. He was confused. Of course the bet was a win! With the war in Iraq and Kuwait, the world crude oil market price,

It can be said to be a journey!
