Chapter 2 Second Gulf Bank
The two were walking and chatting. At this time, they had reached the Bund, which was crowded with people. Looking at the brightly lit TV tower on the other side of the river at night, Su Aijun suddenly clapped his hands and said with some annoyance: "I almost forgot to ask you, have you been there recently?"
A Chinese-American family named Li is contacting you and wants to buy the land in Pudong and the use rights of Building 6 on the Bund from you?"
"Ah? Yes!" Fang Mingyuan nodded and said with a smile, "Uncle Su is well-informed and knows all about this!"
"Then why did your Fang family refuse?" Su Aijun continued to ask.
Fang Mingyuan leaned on the railing by the river and said, "Uncle Su, do you know what projects the Li family plans to invest in Shanghai?"
Su Aijun shook his head and said: "I don't know, I only know that the investment amount seems to be not low, and it is also a product that is urgently needed in domestic and foreign markets!"
"That's right!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "They plan to build an alumina plant in Shanghai with an annual output of 150,000 tons, and plan to expand it to an annual output of 500,000 tons in five to ten years.
Large-scale alumina plants ranging from 10,000 to 800,000 tons. Since alumina has many uses in modern industry, sales volume is not a problem at present!"
Su Aijun became even more puzzled when he heard this: "Mingyuan, is their quotation too low?"
Fang Mingyuan shook his head and said: "Their quotation is not high, but the Shanghai Municipal Government promised to provide some financial subsidies. I don't agree to the transfer, not because of the high or low of his quotation. Although the lots he is interested in are not in Pudong,
It is a prosperous area in the east, but it is located in the upper reaches of the Huangpu River. But I think they have not invested enough in environmental protection. Once it is completed and put into operation, it may cause serious pollution to the surrounding environment! This is unacceptable to me!
"
Although Fang Mingyuan doesn't know much about the alumina industry, he also knows that the alumina industry is a high-energy-consuming and high-pollution industry! Since the aluminum-silicon ratio of the ore soil produced in China is generally low, the production process of the alumina plant is generally
Both require the use of a large amount of water and also produce a large amount of wastewater. According to relevant statistics, large-scale alumina plants in China with an annual output of about 500,000 tons can discharge 20,000 to 30,000 cubic meters of wastewater per day. Therefore,
, there are widespread serious water pollution problems in the watersheds where large alumina plants are located. The alumina production wastewater mainly comes from the alkali-containing waste liquid on site, the cooling water of the production equipment, the production sewage of the factory's own thermal power plant and the production drainage of other affiliated units
.If there is not enough complete environmental protection equipment, the damage to the local environment will still be quite serious.
Not to mention, the alumina industry also produces a large amount of waste gas and waste materials. And the location they selected is located in the upper reaches of the Huangpu River. Fang Mingyuan had to consider whether he would lose his own land in the future if he gave that land to the Li family.
Became a direct victim of pollution! Fang Mingyuan, who has experienced his previous life, is definitely the person in China, apart from those far-sighted environmental experts, who has the most say on the degree of environmental pollution in China in the future!
In his previous life, Fang Mingyuan was just an ordinary person. Even if he spoke loudly, no one would listen. He also had no ability to immigrate to other countries to enjoy the blue sky and white clouds and the carefree and smooth breathing. So in this life, he does not want to do it again.
As miserable and miserable as in the previous life!
If the Li family had chosen other areas in Pudong, the standards of the national environmental protection department for this area were still very low compared with international standards. As for the intensity of implementation, it was even more different. In addition to being able to indirectly
Apart from exerting some influence, there is no good way to deal with him. But if he wants to land on the land that the Fang family still controls, he doesn't even think about it! What's more, Fang Mingyuan also knows that regardless of the current money in the alumina industry
The situation was good, and there would still be a few years of huge profits at the beginning of the next century, but after 2005, until Fan Mingyuan's death in his previous life, the international market price of alumina continued to decline! China's output was even more serious
Surplus! If the Li family’s alumina industry is now moved to Pudong, within ten years, the Shanghai Municipal Government will be so regretful that their intestines will turn green!
After hearing Fang Mingyuan's explanation, Su Aijun couldn't help but be surprised. This was something he didn't know. It turns out that the alumina industry is a highly polluting industry.
"Mingyuan, what will make you agree to transfer the land? If the Li family is equipped with environmental protection equipment...is that okay?" Su Aijun frowned. The person who asked him was an old friend of the Su family and his elder.
, if possible, he still hopes to promote this project. After all, he has heard about it. The Shanghai Municipal Government also attaches great importance to this project! Not only because of the huge investment amount in large-scale alumina projects, but also because it can absorb
There is a large number of employed people, and it drives upstream and downstream enterprises. If the owner of the land was not the Fang family, I am afraid that other means would have been used long ago!
Fang Mingyuan pondered for a while and said: "If the Li family agrees to use raw ore from Australia, Guinea, and Brazil, and has sufficient investment in environmental protection, and must ensure that not a drop of untreated wastewater that does not meet U.S. environmental standards will be discharged into the Huangpu River,
I can consider it! Otherwise, they should find another place!"
U.S. environmental standards? Su Aijun couldn't help but secretly dumbfounded. Although he was not in charge of industry, this did not prevent him from knowing that U.S. standards were much higher than China's environmental standards. Moreover, importing mineral soil from abroad was also
It will definitely increase the cost of Li’s alumina production!
"Uncle Su, the Li family's factory originally produced in the United States and moved to China. From the labor costs and taxes, they have already enjoyed excess profits. If they lower the environmental protection standards, the profits they will earn will be
It can be called huge profits! And once it is approved to land in Shanghai, if there are not enough environmental protection measures, the huge pollution caused will not only bring many hidden dangers to the health of residents on both sides of the Huangpu River in Shanghai, but also
The damage to the ecological environment may require a hundred times a thousand times more funds to control it in the future!" Fang Mingyuan said, "I have made it clear to the Shanghai stock market about the possible harm in this area!"
Su Aijun was silent for a long time, and then continued: "Can the use rights of Building 6 on the Bund be transferred to the Li family?" Since Fang Mingyuan's meaning is already very clear in terms of building a factory, if it is really as Fang Mingyuan said
Like that, if the environmental protection standards are not up to standard and it will cause great harm to the human body and the environment, he does not want to help others.
"Building 6 on the Bund, Uncle Su, to tell you the truth, I plan to leave Building 6 to the Second Gulf Bank of the United Arab Emirates!" Fang Mingyuan rubbed his nose and said, "It is Prince Maktoum, Crown Prince of the Emirate of Dubai.
, the bank jointly established by Prince Abdullah of Kuwait and our Fang family is now applying for business to enter the country. Therefore, I cannot satisfy the Li family’s requirements.”
Su Aijun was speechless and looked at Fang Mingyuan helplessly, thinking that this building was reserved by Fang Mingyuan for his bank! No wonder the other buildings have been rented out, and only this one is still left, and it is such an auspicious number!
Even if Su Aijun wanted to help the Li family, he couldn't say anything like asking the Fang family to give up the No. 6 building left to him to the Li family!
"Did the bank you established with the two princes have this name before?" Su Aijun said casually.
"It's not this name. It's just that after merging three banks last year, I felt that the original name was a bit stingy, so I changed it!" Fang Mingyuan laughed. Due to the outbreak of the financial crisis, the Middle East and Europe have also been affected a lot.
, and Prince Maktoum and Prince Abdullah had long been reminded by Fang Mingyuan, and they believed in Fang Mingyuan's judgment. Therefore, the outbreak of the financial crisis not only did not have much negative impact on the bank's business, but instead gave it a hard time in troubled times.
There are opportunities for growth. In 1998, a domestic bank in the United Arab Emirates and two European banks were merged. Today, the bank's total assets have exceeded 20 billion US dollars, and the non-performing asset rate is less than 1%! Fang Mingyuan is
The apparent shareholding held by it is 49%, but the actual shareholding has reached 70%, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Fangjia Bank!
"Then why isn't it called First Gulf Bank?" Su Aijun said in surprise. If you want to have a grand name, it would be better to just call it First Gulf Bank.
"The United Arab Emirates already has First Gulf Bank, and our next merger target will be it. However, its scale is relatively large, accounting for 7.9% of the market share in the UAE, and its total assets are as high as 500,000.
We have more than 100 million U.S. dollars, so we can't swallow it for a while. That's why we chose such a name to remind us all the time that we have the First Gulf Bank on top of us!" Fang Mingyuan explained.
Of course Fang Mingyuan couldn't tell him that in fact, the major shareholder of First Gulf Bank was at odds with Prince Maktoum and was a direct competitor for important positions in the United Arab Emirates. If First Gulf Bank could be annexed, Prince Maktoum would
I would be happy to sell another billion dollars in shares! As for the name of the bank? At present, most of the major customers of Second Gulf Bank are related to Prince Maktoum and Prince Abdullah. As long as the two of them are related to the Fang family
There is no problem with their relationship. As long as the two of them do not fall, even if their names change once a month, it will not have a significant impact on the bank's business!
"Can you still name it like this?" Su Aijun was almost speechless. These guys didn't treat each other as dishonest, and they actually provoked them so blatantly! Moreover, when they run a company, they really want their trademarks to survive.
A hundred years old, a century-old brand, that's a resounding sign! Fortunately for these guys, he didn't know how long the bank had been established. It was only about ten years, but the name of the bank seemed to have changed no less than three times!!
