Resource Tycoon Reborn

A big contract worth two billion US dollars! Belevsky couldn’t help but be slightly moved!

Because of the global economic downturn caused by the financial crisis, diamond products, which are representative of luxury goods, will naturally be affected! ALROSA's sales last year and the year before last fell by 3% compared with before the financial crisis.

More than ten! Although the situation this year has improved somewhat, it is still far from optimistic. If ALROSA can obtain this large order worth almost one and a half years of production... Belevsky suddenly brought several

He looked at Fang Mingyuan with great vigilance. Could it be that the price of diamond products will skyrocket again in the next few years? If so, should his family also hoard a batch? Today's Russian currency is difficult to maintain its value, and there are large amounts of diamond products in his hands.

Who knows when the ruble will be devalued to the point of being worthless!

Fang Mingyuan looked at him inexplicably, why did the old man's eyes suddenly become so sharp, like two small knives, as if he wanted to slice himself into pieces.

"It seems that you are very optimistic about the future direction of diamond products!" Belevsky said with a half-smile.

"Huh? Ah..." Fang Mingyuan was startled for a moment, and he understood immediately. It seemed that the old man had frightened him by the past of buying crude oil at a low price, and now he was frightened. In fact, this time he was frightened.

I didn’t think too much about it, I just knew that with China’s economic development and a large number of young people of the right age getting married, the demand for diamond rings must be very strong. If I purchase a batch of rough diamonds and sell them to Chow Tai Fook Jewelry, at least I must be.

You won’t lose money. You can also ensure the source of diamonds for Chow Tai Fook Jewelry. Strengthening the power of your allies is, from a certain perspective, strengthening yourself.

"Diamonds will definitely rise, but they will definitely not be like this year's oil prices." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "If your country thinks it is not suitable, then I can change the purchase target. Well...old man

Wilder, what do you think of the steel..."

"No need!" Belevsky said with a wave of his hand. If Fang Mingyuan purchases rough diamonds from ALROSA, the money will eventually fall into the hands of the Russian government. After all, ALROSA is still state-owned. If Fang Mingyuan purchases

As for steel, then most of the money will fall into the hands of private business owners. Under the current domestic situation, which one to choose? For the Russian President, is there any need to say? Besides, if Fang Mingyuan really chooses

When buying steel, other private business owners will definitely jump out and question why he doesn’t buy other products from Russia. He, the person in charge of the negotiations, must be the target of a lot of criticism. With a big order of two billion US dollars, these domestic private business owners,

Who is not salivating? Fang Mingyuan smiled and waited for Belevsky's formal answer.

"Two billion U.S. dollars in procurement is a bit small!" Belevsky pondered for a moment, "It will take at least three billion U.S. dollars in three years!"

"Three billion U.S. dollars?" Fang Mingyuan said with a dumb smile, "Old Wilder, you are taking this for granted. What is ALROSA's current annual output? What if I purchased three billion U.S. dollars of diamond roughs in three years?

, what will it do to fulfill the agreement with the De Beers Group? Expand production? What will happen in three years? I have already taken into account the surplus of ALROSA in the past few years." Nikolasky said.

Internal response. Fang Mingyuan’s understanding of ALROSA’s diamond output is no less than that of the Russian government.

Belevsky blushed slightly and said: "Then three billion US dollars in five years! Is this okay?"

Fang Mingyuan shook his head slightly and said: "As a luxury product, diamonds also have price fluctuations. I don't know what the international diamond market will be like in three years. If that is the case, I would rather do it within three years."

Ask ALROSA to provide diamond roughs worth three billion US dollars! And, old Wilder, let me remind you again, I am not taken advantage of!" In his view, in addition to the profits from the arms transaction, the Russian government also received

It is enough to get the new profits from ALROSA. For the greedy polar bear, we cannot feed its appetite all at once.

Fang Mingyuan's voice was not loud, but Belevsky grinned silently and no longer dwelled on this issue.

"Fang, there is one more thing. If our government plans to loan US$4 billion to the Second Gulf Bank, would you like to help facilitate this?" Belevsky leaned forward and lowered his voice.

the voice said.

"A loan of four billion U.S. dollars?" Fang Mingyuan frowned and asked, "What do you use as collateral? To be honest, your country's financial credit in the international market is..." During the Asian financial crisis, a series of practices of the Russian government,

However, the ruble's price plummeted against the U.S. dollar, and residents' savings shrank significantly. It also spread to Europe, the United States, and Latin America, creating a global effect. Among them, the Americans and Germans suffered the most!

The Americans got involved in the Russian financial market because of hedge funds, and suffered huge losses when the Russian currency market plummeted, the stock market crashed, and the government bond market was suspended. According to later statistics, foreign investors lost approximately 100,000 yuan in the Russian financial crisis.

More than US$33 billion, of which Long-Term Capital Management, also known as hedge funds, lost nearly US$2.5 billion, Soros Quantum Hedge Fund lost US$2 billion, and American Bankers Trust Company lost nearly US$2.5 billion.

500 million US dollars, facing the possibility of being swallowed up by its peers.

Germany was Russia's largest creditor at the time. At that time, Russia already owed Germany more than 45 billion U.S. dollars. The credit crisis caused by the financial crisis in Russia quickly spread to Germany and even Europe, causing turmoil in the global financial market.

After that, the international financial market became even more cautious in lending to the Russian government! If not for this year, the price of crude oil in the international crude oil market has been rising, and Russia supplies a large amount of natural gas to Europe, which makes the Russian government

Although fiscal revenue has eased, the domestic financial market is still in chaos.

But now that a nuclear submarine has had an accident in the Barents Sea, Chechnya is not in peace, and Russian society is experiencing a trend of turbulence. To quell these things, which one does not require sufficient funds? This has made Russian leaders very worried.

.

Loans from international banking syndicates? Not only are the procedures cumbersome, but they are also more demanding in terms of interest and collateral. Moreover, these banks are influenced by their own governments and often attach some political conditions, although generally they are not related to fundamental interests.

conditions, but also extremely annoying.

Loans from the International Fund? Not to mention, although the interest rates are relatively low and they generally do not require collateral, by the time they approve it, the day lily is cold and there is no rush. It is also because of their additional

Political conditions, even more!

So the president set his sights on Fang Mingyuan. At least the series of cooperation between the two parties so far has been quite pleasant, and Fang Mingyuan is very generous and generally does not attach any political conditions. Although, Fang Mingyuan earns more from Russia.

, but that was earned by people’s vision and legal means. Even if this lawsuit is taken to the international court, Russia will not take any action. And the most important thing is that Fang Mingyuan is rich now! In the international crude oil market, the price of crude oil

Rising all the way, Fang Mingyuan's current net worth has skyrocketed. Those contracts can be exchanged for green dollars in the international market at any time!

With the Russian intelligence system, it is naturally not difficult to find out that Fang Mingyuan is one of the important shareholders of the Second Gulf Bank, and the other two shareholders of the Second Gulf Bank, Prince Abdullah and Prince Maktoum, are not related to Fang Mingyuan’s personal

The relationship is excellent. As long as Fang Mingyuan is willing to borrow money, a mere few billion dollars is not an unbearable amount of money for him.

"How about fifty percent of Rosneft's shares as collateral?" Belevsky had obviously already thought about it and said without hesitation.

"Fifty percent of Rosneft's shares?" Fang Mingyuan opened his eyes in surprise. At first, he had thought about acquiring shares of Rosneft. At that time, the price of crude oil in the international oil market had dropped to a low, and the Russian government was

No one wanted to sell shares in Rosneft. But in the end, Fang Mingyuan gave up the idea.

Although in its previous life, Rosneft became a behemoth in the world's oil industry, it climbed to the top by stepping on the wreckage of Yukosky and many other oil companies! Shortly after Putin became president,

Begin to resolve the issue of nationalization of domestic oil and gas companies.

Today, the Fang family has extended its tentacles to many industries in Russia. However, in each industry, the market share is not very obvious, and a considerable part of it is invested in mining, forestry, and oil.

, in industries such as natural gas, so he is not so prominent, but Fang Mingyuan believes that the future president of Russia may have already noticed him.

Coupled with his relationship with Hordokovsky and Yukosky Petroleum Company, if he takes another stake in Rosneft, he will definitely bear the brunt when that company nationalizes oil in the future.

.When he thought of the many well-known international oil companies that invested in the Russian oil industry, and eventually either gave up their controlling rights or withdrew from Russia with negligible compensation, Fang Mingyuan did not want to fall into that situation.

Therefore, after several struggles, Fang Mingyuan gave up his plan to acquire shares in Rosneft.

However, with the current price of crude oil in the international crude oil market, Rosneft must have turned a profit. Why does the Russian government need to mortgage the shares of this state-owned oil company with very promising profit prospects?
