Resource Tycoon Reborn

ps: ps: I wish you all a happy holiday, and I’d like to ask you a question by the way.~,

Fang Mingyuan also understood that the old man was obviously angry. He didn't know how those two people, including their family members, had annoyed the old man. It was not appropriate to ask more questions at this time, so he just responded and agreed.

"Tell me, what news did you hear?" Mr. Guo calmed down and asked Fang Mingyuan. It is obviously not an ordinary trivial matter that can make Fang Mingyuan interrupt his work and come back to seek his opinion personally.

"I met Yanei today. Yanei said that he had received some rumors that someone was interested in Jinning's future development prospects and planned to pick peaches." Fang Mingyuan said.

"Pick peaches? What should your uncle do?" Mr. Guo asked. Today's Jinning coal industry can be said to have been established in the hands of Shi Wensheng. If you want to pick peaches and achieve the greatest results, Shi Wensheng will not

I can continue to stay in Jinning.

"Of course he will be promoted, and he may be an acting governor from another province." Fang Mingyuan said.

Mr. Guo was startled, and then suddenly said: "Well, that's right. Otherwise, why would you give them the peach?" Shi Wensheng is not a person without foundation now. Not to mention his political achievements over the years, there are

With the Su family, the Lu family, the Mei family and others protecting them, and with the Fang family as their backing, why would they give up the top position of Jinning without arranging a good place? When Jinning's economic level ranked last in Qinxi Province,

Why is there no one vying to go? And Shi Wensheng's options in Qinxi Province are actually very small. Apart from the first and second positions, the other positions are indeed a bit difficult for Shi Wensheng.

It's useless. Although the level has increased, the real power has shrunk a bit. Instead, let Shi Wensheng go to other provinces to be the acting governor. Firstly, this position is attractive enough. Secondly, it can also weaken the influence of the Fang family and the Su family in Qinxi.

Thirdly, the influence within the province is also a major challenge for Shi Wensheng in his official career. It is even more difficult for airborne officials to make political achievements in an unfamiliar province!

"I guess my uncle won't have to think about it in a good province. Those positions are so popular that it will make people break their heads. It's hard to get the first or second leader of Jinning." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. Although he said

Shi Wensheng's political achievements in Jinning in the past few years have been quite outstanding, but he jumped from the Standing Committee to the acting governor. These political achievements are still poor, so he must have gone to some provinces with relatively poor conditions.

"Well, don't go further west, and don't go to the southwest, unless it's Shu Province. They will definitely not give it to the coastal provinces, so only the central and northeastern parts are left." Mr. Guo nodded and said, "Wen Sheng also wants to become

Minister-level cadre. This is really unbelievable.”

"So, grandpa, you support my uncle in going out?" Fang Mingyuan asked.

"Of course!" Mr. Guo said without hesitation, "This step is a matter of time, and earlier is better than later!" As Su Aijun became the second in command of Qinxi Province, the Fang family's influence in Qinxi Province has increased.

It is bigger and bigger, and the three cities with the best economy in Qinxi Province are all under the control of the Fang family. Qinxi Province is the core province in the central and western regions. This situation can last for a while, but it cannot continue like this! So!

The rebalancing of Qinxi Province is just a matter of time.

"And if your uncle goes to other provinces, although the influence of Qinxi Province has weakened, it is also an opportunity for you to continue to expand your influence. Haha, even if you go to the three northeastern provinces, with your current ability, is it not possible?

Have you already entered? Are you worried that your uncle will not be able to achieve any good political achievements in the future?" Mr. Guo said with a smile, "Besides, it will be convenient for you to have a real person of your own wherever you are."

"What you said is true, I think so too." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

"However, I want to remind you that after Wen Sheng leaves Jinning, even if Jinning's reforms cannot continue, we must not retreat. Otherwise, the gains will not be worth the losses!" Mr. Guo said sternly, "You decide who will be the first and second in command.

No, then you have to do a good job to ensure that your influence in Jinning does not decline." Jinning is now the third most economically powerful city in Qinxi Province, and its influence in Qinxi Province is unparalleled.

neglect.

"Yes, what you are saying is that I will discuss this with Uncle Su and the others to ensure that our influence in Jinning is not weakened." Fang Mingyuan said. Political achievements can be given away, but the foundation in Jinning cannot be touched.

Fang Mingyuan chatted with Mr. Guo for a while, and the topic of Mr. Guo slowly turned to Guo's Shipping Group Company.

"Mingyuan, the shipping industry and the shipbuilding industry are cyclical just like the economy. You know its peak and trough performance, right?" Mr. Guo said with a smile.

Fang Mingyuan thought for a while and said: "The arrival of the peak period should mean that freight rates reach a high point, profit margins rise, a large number of mothballed and idle ships are put back into operation, the price of second-hand ships rises, a large number of new ship orders are poured into the shipbuilding industry, and even

Even the older ships that were originally suspended have been put into operation again. Isn’t the ship scrapping industry generally depressed?”

Mr. Guo nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, at the craziest time, the price of old ships and new ships less than five years old is basically the same. After the emergence of these phenomena, it means that the peak period of the shipping industry has arrived, and at the same time

It also means that the recession and trough periods are coming. However, no one can be sure whether the peak period will last for one year or two to three years. What about the trough period?"

"Idle ships have increased, older ships have been sent to ship-breaking yards for dismantling, new ship contracts have decreased, and shipbuilding contracts that should have been performed have even been postponed or cancelled!" Fang Mingyuan replied.

"Yes, these things are not a secret. Everyone in the industry basically knows it. However, every time there is a cyclical fluctuation, there are still a large number of companies that fail to adjust their business strategies in a timely manner, causing the company to face serious losses or even bankruptcy. After all,

The reason, a very important point, is that we are too greedy and always think that the peak period will be longer." Mr. Guo said seriously, "But you have to remember that the ups and downs of the economy have its own laws, and they cannot be easily controlled by human power.

Changed! The consequences of forced change may cause the impact to be even more terrifying when it breaks out again!"

Fang Mingyuan nodded solemnly. He understood that the old man was not chatting casually, but was reminding himself. This is the old age. Mr. Guo seems to be indifferent now and is enjoying his life at home, but for

The development trend of the shipping industry is still quite accurately grasped. If this butterfly did not cause subversive changes to the development of the world economy, then the next year will be when the subprime mortgage crisis completely broke out, and its impact on the world shipping industry

, will be very huge. Although governments around the world worked hard to stimulate the economy and revived the world shipping industry, it did not take long for the world shipping industry to collapse again due to serious overcapacity.

It has embarked on the path of recession and has continued. Fang Mingyuan does not know when this trend will be reversed.

"I heard Qiu Xia mention it, do you also think that the shipping industry may go downhill?" Mr. Guo looked at Fang Mingyuan and said, "Recently, Guo's Shipping Group has been selling old ships that are more than ten years old.

ships and those smaller tonnage ships. But to the outside world, it has been claimed to be a replacement of the fleet."

"Yes, as you said, today's shipping costs have exceeded the best level in history. More importantly, well-known shipyards in various countries have orders that are enough for them to work for four or five years, so I think that in the future

In two or three years, a large number of new ships will flood into the market. If the world economic growth can still maintain the current growth rate and the problem of overcapacity is not obvious yet, in the event of an economic crisis, the shipping industry will be severely hit.

So I asked them to adjust the merged routes, eliminate old ships and small-tonnage ships, and replace them with new ships. If there is a capacity gap, they can also rent ships from the market for a short period of time. In this way, at least if there is an economic crisis, we can adjust easily.

"Fang Mingyuan said.

"But you are still more optimistic about oil transportation and ore transportation? Therefore, your elimination standards for these two ships are looser than other ships." Mr. Guo said.

"Yes, because I think China's demand for oil and iron ore will definitely decline, but the decline will be slower than other goods, so it will take us longer to adjust, but we must be vigilant

America!" Fang Mingyuan said.

"Be wary of the United States?" Mr. Guo looked at Fang Mingyuan with some confusion. Although the Middle East is not peaceful, he has not heard of anyone else the United States will use force against. Could it be Iran?

"Grandpa, Americans are now the largest buyers of oil in the Middle East, you know that." Fang Mingyuan said, "A large number of oil tankers are sailing from the Middle East to the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean to meet the United States' massive demand for oil."

"Well, what does this have to do with being wary of the United States?" Mr. Guo asked, "Does it mean that the Americans are planning to restart the oil fields in the country?"

"No, the U.S. government has no plans to restart the oil fields in the country." Fang Mingyuan shook his head and said, "But they have been working hard to develop shale oil. This technology has gradually matured, and the rising oil prices have also made

Developing shale oil has become profitable."

"Shale oil? Can it replace oil?" Mr. Guo frowned. The United States is the largest oil importer. If this shale oil can replace oil... that means there may be excess oil transportation capacity? This is very important to Guo.

This is indeed not a good thing for Guo Shi Shipping Group Co., Ltd. Although Guo Shi Shipping Group Co., Ltd. does not have a few tankers responsible for transporting crude oil to the United States, if there are too many tankers on the U.S. route, the excess shipping capacity will definitely have to be diverted

Other routes compete for market share. (To be continued...)
