Chapter 25 I want to borrow money

Since they had already greeted Yu Qiuxia in advance, when Fang Mingyuan and the others returned to the Guo family's mansion in Repulse Bay, Guo Dongcheng was already waiting for him in the living room. However, Fang Mingyuan made a request to go to Guanhai Pavilion for a meeting.

Naturally, Guo Dongcheng would not refuse him.

Although the temperature in Hong Kong in winter is much milder than that in the north, the temperature often drops to more than ten degrees after a burst of wind and rain. After two days of warm sunshine, the air rises back to more than 20 degrees. Fang Mingyuan noticed that while watching the sea

The pavilion has been transformed into a glass room. The thick glass blocks the cold and humid sea breeze. There are also two portable electric heaters in the pavilion, making it as warm as spring.

"Grandpa Guo, I came to Hong Kong this time to borrow money from you!" After some pleasantries, Fang Mingyuan straight to the point explained his purpose to Guo Dongcheng.

Guo Dongcheng squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Mingyuan, how much do you plan to borrow?" Fang Mingyuan's request did not surprise him. This kid suddenly ran back to Hong Kong and was so eager to see him. Something big must have happened to him.

There are only a few ways that a bad old man can help him, and borrowing money is naturally one of the easiest reasons to think of.

Over the past year, Guo Dongcheng has undoubtedly gained a better understanding of Fang Mingyuan's business talent. Not to mention his dazzling achievements in Japan, not to mention his rapid business expansion in Qinxi Province, just look at his legacy

Those scripts for my daughter-in-law, as well as Cheng Long's "Double Dragon Club" has achieved huge box office in Hong Kong and Southeast Asian markets, which makes people have to admire the heroes coming out of youth! Although Yu Qiuxia has not officially set foot in Hong Kong

In the film industry, her influence is already extraordinary. I don’t know how many people in Hong Kong film companies want to get more new movie scripts from her. If she is not the daughter-in-law of the Guo family, she is the daughter-in-law of the Yu family.

My eldest daughter, I'm afraid threats of force will be staged.

From this point of view, Guo Dongcheng felt that his original choice was not wrong. If the Guo family can form an alliance with the Fang family, it will undoubtedly gain another avenue to obtain stable income in addition to the shipping industry. In this way, even if the shipping industry

Even if there is a turmoil in the industry, the Guo family will not be devastated. They still have the capital to make a comeback!

Guo Dongcheng thought about it more than once this year, why he didn't have a daughter or granddaughter of the right age, otherwise he would tie Fang Mingyuan to the Guo family's chariot no matter what! Even if he retired or even died in the future,

After passing away, the Guo family's future was enough to reassure him.

"I will borrow as much as you can, for three months to half a year!" Fang Mingyuan said without hesitation. Guo Dongcheng couldn't help but be a little surprised. He looked at Fang Mingyuan to make sure he heard something wrong.

"I will borrow as much as you can, and the loan period is three months to half a year!" Fang Mingyuan repeated, "I can give you 30% of the principal in interest!"

Guo Dongcheng was really moved this time. With a guaranteed profit of 30% in half a year at most, the conditions offered by Fang Mingyuan were quite generous! And more importantly, what Fang Mingyuan said was, "How much can you borrow?

I want as much as I want”!

The same amount of money, a few hundred yuan, has doubled several times in half a year. There is nothing surprising. But since Fang Mingyuan has opened his mouth to himself, the money borrowed is hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Let a sum

Hundreds of millions or even more than a billion, a huge amount of billions of funds increased by 30% in half a year. Such a huge return is enough to make any company in the world tempted. And since Fang Mingyuan dares to ask himself

With the promise of 30% interest, the returns he received would surely be even more amazing! What kind of opportunity was this? But after all, he had weathered the storm for a long time. Although he was extremely shocked, he soon regained his composure.

.

"How sure are you?" Guo Dongcheng asked calmly, "Besides money, what else do you need from me?"

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but secretly admire him. If it were an ordinary person, his first reaction would definitely be disbelief. The next step would probably be to ask questions. "Except for the timing, I'm not completely sure yet. I'm 90% sure.

Grasp. I also need you to provide me with the location of the operation and the talents who are proficient in oil futures!"

"90% sure?" Guo Dongcheng was so surprised that he couldn't help blurting out. You must know that business operations are ever-changing. No one dares to make a 100% promise before achieving final success. And generally

Being 60-70% sure about the situation is enough for the company's decision-makers to start the plan. If you can be 90% sure before executing it, it is no different from a sure profit.

"90% sure!" Fang Mingyuan repeated categorically. Maybe Iraq's invasion of Kuwait will be delayed, and maybe the United States' response will be a little slower, but as long as the negotiations between Iraq and Kuwait fail, it is only a matter of time before the Gulf War starts. But

Are the divisive Economy-Korea talks likely to succeed?

Guo Dongcheng took a few long breaths, stood up, and opened the glass door on the side facing the sea. A somewhat humid sea breeze immediately blew in front of him, calming him down. He understood clearly that Fang Mingyuan was obviously planning to work in the oil industry.

What is operating in futures? Could it be that an oil crisis may occur in the world in the near future? Although Guo Dongcheng does not have much interaction with crude oil other than transporting crude oil, this does not mean that he does not understand the impact of crude oil price fluctuations on the world economy.

influence.

If Fang Mingyuan discovered something that was enough to cause the world's crude oil prices to fluctuate significantly, enough for him to make excess profits in the crude oil futures market, then a 30% return in half a year would not be surprising.

"Mingyuan, let me think about it." Guo Dongcheng walked outside the pavilion, holding on to the fence on the edge of the cliff, looking at the boundless sea. In his mind, he was thinking rapidly. In the recent period, there are

What can have a significant impact on the world crude oil market price? A fledgling young man can notice it, and with such strong confidence, he can be regarded as an old man who has been in the mall for decades. Now that he has been reminded,

Wouldn't it be too shameful to say that you still can't figure out the ins and outs of the matter? Guo Dongcheng believes that with his own vision and mind, he will eventually be able to find some clues.

Fang Mingyuan did not rush him. He understood that this would be a decision involving hundreds of millions or even billions of Hong Kong dollars. Guo Dongcheng was not the kind of official in China who made decisions just by patting his head. In such a short period of time, he

It is absolutely impossible to make up your mind immediately. "Grandpa Guo, this matter is of great importance. No matter whether you borrow it or not, please keep it secret for the time being. I will stay in Hong Kong for three days and then go to Japan. Grandpa Guo

…”

Guo Dongcheng suddenly turned around and said seriously: "Mingyuan, don't worry, I will definitely lend you the loan. Grandpa will give you a few words first. No matter what my final consideration is, I will lend you 500 million Hong Kong dollars. And you

Grandpa will also prepare the crude oil futures talents you need as quickly as possible. What Grandpa needs to consider now is how to maximize this opportunity! In less than three days, I will be there early tomorrow morning at the latest.

I will give you a clear answer!”

Fang Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Five hundred million Hong Kong dollars was a considerable amount of money. But what moved him even more was Guo Lecheng's trust in his judgment. Obviously, Guo Dongcheng already believed it.

He has the ability to profit from it. This kind of trust is more important to Fang Mingyuan than the HK$500 million. This is a legend in the Hong Kong business community!

"Thank you, Grandpa!" Fang Mingyuan bowed deeply, "It's windy, wet and cold here, Grandpa, it's better not to stay outside the pavilion too much."

Guo Dongcheng waved his hand with a smile, and Fang Mingyuan walked back along the path.

Fang Mingyuan didn't go far when he met Yu Qiuxia's mother and daughter waiting anxiously by the roadside.

"Mingyuan, how was your conversation with the old man?" Yu Qiuxia asked impatiently. In the car, Fang Mingyuan had already said a few words to her. Although Yu Qiuxia was the daughter-in-law of Guo's family, she was

Not to mention her, even her husband couldn't make a decision on such a big matter, so she could only wait here for the outcome of the meeting between Fang Mingyuan and Guo Dongcheng. However, while waiting here, Yu Qiuxia also secretly thought

made a decision.

"The old man needs time to think about it and give me the exact result tomorrow morning at the latest. But the old man also said that no matter what the final decision is, he is willing to lend me 500 million Hong Kong dollars." Fang Mingyuan said easily. With this 500 million

Hong Kong dollars, plus the mortgage loan in his hand, although these money are put into the crude oil futures market, they are still nothing but nothing, but after calculating the gains, Fang Mingyuan feels that he should be satisfied. After all, Rome was not built in a day, and he

It is impossible to become fat in one bite.

"That's it!" Yu Qiuxia breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that her father-in-law is quite optimistic about Fang Mingyuan. This HK$500 million is almost the emergency reserve fund of Guo's Shipping Group. What my father-in-law needs to consider is whether to use it.

Guo's working capital, or simply borrowing money from banks. Although wealthy families like them have amazing properties, most of them exist in the form of collectibles, luxury goods, real estate, luxury cars, company equity, etc.

, the cash in hand can account for 10% of the total property, which is relatively rare.

"Mingyuan, when do you plan to use this money?" Yu Qiuxia asked softly.

"There are about three to four months left." Fang Mingyuan thought about it, "Sister Qiu Xia, have you informed the bosses of those film companies?"
