Resource Tycoon Reborn

ps: ps: I’m spending time with my kids today, so I’m not sure if there will be a second chapter, and it will be very late if there is.

Fang Mingyuan woke up very early. He got up before six o'clock. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the back garden of the manor. The Welf family's manor was very large and had many trees. At a glance, there were woods everywhere.

Fang Mingyuan opened the window, and immediately a fresh and somewhat cool air flow poured into the room, which was refreshing! Fang Mingyuan was not familiar with Dortmund. He had been to Europe many times and had never been here specifically, but in

Before coming here, he also knew something about this place. What interested him the most was that the successful transformation of Dortmund's pillar industries is worth learning from many resource-depleted cities in the country.

Dortmund is located in the Ruhr region of Germany. It is rich in coal mines and has the largest canal and seaport in Germany. It has naturally developed into the steel industry base in Germany. It can be said to be the largest and most important industrial city in the Ruhr region. But as

Like those resource-exhausted cities in the country, Dortmund's coal resources are also limited, and with the development of the German economy, labor costs are getting higher and higher. Whether it is coal mining or steelmaking, the cost is getting higher and higher. There is no more.

Competitiveness. As a result, in the late 1980s, the city of Dortmund closed its last coal mine. And in the first half of 2002, the last steelmaking plant in the city was closed.

In other words, two of Dortmund's traditional pillar industries of steel, coal mining and beer collapsed, leaving only the beer industry. However, Dortmund did not suffer from economic malaise because of this. Today, Dortmund has emerged from

The economic model of heavy industry has been transformed into a city with service industries and emerging science and technology industries as its pillar industries. Today, nearly half of Dortmund is covered by water, woodland and green areas. Spacious parks can be seen everywhere, and it is known as a "green city"

!

Moreover, the number of colleges and universities here ranks first in the Ruhr region. If you are not a local, it is difficult to tell that this livable city was the base of Germany's steel industry!

Fang Mingyuan really wants to know the reasons for Dortmund's successful transformation. Not only can the future development of Tongchuan District learn from it, but there will also be many resource-exhausted cities in the country from which they can find the secrets of re-development of the economy. Those cities have already experienced great changes in the past many years.

With a large population gathered, it would be a pity if we could not find a new direction for development and continue to decline. Among them, cities like this account for a large share in the three northeastern provinces. If my brother-in-law really goes

Once the Northeast is reached, solving the problem of the re-emergence of these cities is also an unavoidable problem.

The sun had risen from the east, and the sunlight passed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the entire room brightly. Fang Mingyuan looked at the sky. It was so blue that it was heart-warming.

Fang Mingyuan moved a chair over and sat in front of the window. He just looked at the green land and blue sky outside the window, bathing in the early morning sunshine... until the clock hand pointed to half past eight, and Angelina came to call him.

Only then did he wake up from his reverie.

Angelina, dressed in casual clothes, walked into the room and asked with a smile: "You just woke up, right? Didn't you just sleep on the plane yesterday? You've been too tired recently?"

"I've been awake for a while. I basked in the sun for a while and took a look at the manor." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "What's the matter? Everyone is waiting for me, right?"

"Now that you're awake, let's go down and have breakfast." Angelina glanced behind her at Guo Qing'er who came in at some unknown time. She smiled sweetly and said, "As long as Miss Guo helps you, I'll go down first." Guo Qing'er kept her voice inconspicuous.

The voice of the ground snorted softly. This vixen was quite sensible and did not leave any entanglement shamelessly. Sister Jiayi and Sister Xintong did not follow her, so she had to shoulder her due responsibilities.

Fang Mingyuan smiled at Angelina with a slightly apologetic look and said, "I'm going down right away, but I don't dare to keep the Welf clan waiting for too long."

Angelina left the room and closed the door. While helping Fang Mingyuan choose clothes, Guo Qing'er muttered: "Brother Yuan, you don't want to give me another nephew or niece with German aristocratic blood, do you?"

Fang Mingyuan reached out and tapped her on the head: "Nonsense!"

Guo Qing'er covered her head and said dissatisfiedly: "I keep knocking on people's heads. If you knock them stupidly, I will rely on you to support me."

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help laughing, reached out and patted her head and said: "Okay, okay, I won't hit you on the head anymore, that's okay. Hurry up, don't let the master wait for us."

When Fang Mingyuan and Guo Qing'er arrived at the restaurant, everyone except the old Welf patriarch had already arrived. Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, "Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."

"It's nothing, I just arrived, didn't I?" Old Welf walked in and said with a smile, "Fang, did you sleep well last night?"

"Very good, the environment here is very satisfactory." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

"If you like it, I can give this manor to you." Old Welf said with a smile. Philip was startled, but he didn't say anything. Compared with the income of 1.5 billion US dollars, this manor

It's really nothing.

"Ah... That's not necessary." Fang Mingyuan was also startled. It was obviously extraordinary that this manor could host Kaiser Wilhelm I. It might have some historical significance.

"Fang, I'm serious. We Germans won't joke about this kind of thing. If you like it, it's yours. If you find it inconvenient to take care of it, we can take care of it for you." Old Weir

The husband said seriously, "Don't you know? Because of your reminder, our family made nearly 1.5 billion U.S. dollars in oil futures last year. There is no way this manor is worth so much money."

Angelina was startled and looked at her father in surprise, then at Ansplenger and Abendroth. She didn't know that the family had such an astonishing profit last year. Guo Qing'er stood beside her.

He also had a look of surprise.

Fang Mingyuan waved his hand and said: "Without my words, I believe you can analyze that the price of oil in the international market is still on the rise. Besides, being able to reap such huge profits is also your own ability. China has

There is an old saying that means you cannot enjoy rewards without credit." There is no such thing as a free pie in the world. The Welf family must have had other motives behind the creation of such a large manor. But it can make Welf

It is definitely not something to worry about when your husband's family has to "give gifts". Fang Mingyuan doesn't want to fall into it in a daze.

A look of admiration flashed in the eyes of the old Welf patriarch. Such a large manor can only be obtained by money in Germany. Of course, its value cannot reach such an exaggerated figure as 1.5 billion US dollars, but

Including these works of art in the castle, it is also a huge sum of money! Fang Mingyuan was able to reject it without even thinking. This is not something ordinary people can do. But in this case, he appreciates Fang Mingyuan even more, and naturally he appreciates it more.

I want to tie him to the Welf family's car.

Old Welf has actually been paying attention to Fang Mingyuan since he noticed Fang Mingyuan through movies many years ago. He originally thought that he was just a genius who had made a name for himself in the film field. Later, he learned that he actually had talents in both China and Hong Kong.

Later, when HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. formally met Fang Mingyuan, he discovered more and more that Fang Mingyuan could actually create a family business in many industrial fields, which was even more rare. Wei

Although the Wolf family has not had many cooperation projects with the Fang family in the past few years, it was enough for old Welf to see the potential of Fang Mingyuan and the Fang family.

"Although we say this, we have to admit that it is precisely because of your reminder that we have firmly believed that the price of oil in the international market will continue to rise, so you should get this benefit. Otherwise, you should get it."

If so, how can we have the face to ask for your opinion in the future?" Old Welf insisted, "If you don't want to buy real estate in Germany... other aspects can also be discussed. I listen to Angelina.

Say, you have a football team? The performance in the Chinese domestic league is not bad. I can give you a Bundesliga club and shares of a Premier League club. Although the shares are not many, it is enough for you to join the board of directors and have a certain say.

Quan, what do you think?" Fang Mingyuan pinched his chin. The Welf family has a strong foundation. They opened their mouth and saw the shares of two top clubs. Owning the shares of two top clubs, of course, for the Fang family,

It is useful, at least in terms of player communication and expansion of influence, and it has a positive side. But how useful it is, it is hard to say.

"I appreciate the patriarch's kindness, but if you know more details, you will know that I rarely care about that football team. I don't have the time or the energy to watch the game, so naturally I have no interest in being a member.

What are the shareholders of the Bundesliga and Premier League clubs?" Fang Mingyuan spread his hands. Besides, he only owns part of the shares and does not have enough power, so he is too lazy to do it. But if he wants to take over the entire club... then forget it.

It’s not like I have too much money to spend. If I want to advertise and build momentum, it doesn’t necessarily have to be through football. As for the idea of ​​promoting the development of domestic leagues through this method, it is even more of a dream! As long as the Football Association does not carry out

Complete reform, everything is just a cloud! Within ten to twenty years, being able to enter the World Cup again is just a dream! The Qinxi Airlines football team is just to provide Tongyi citizens with one more entertainment

It's just a way.

"Fang, our Welf family still has some influence in Europe, don't you have anything that interests you? How about a yacht?" Abendrot said with a smile, "I have a yacht that was launched last year. It's long.

124 meters, with six decks, two helipads, an outdoor swimming pool, a basketball court, a concert hall and a theater that can accommodate 200 spectators, a professional recording studio, and fourteen boats, it has completed a round-the-world voyage.

"

"You said it's the 'Goddess'?" Ansplenger said in surprise, "You're actually willing to give it up? The cost alone exceeds 200 million US dollars!"

"What's the point of not giving up? Besides, with my current physical condition...she can only stay in the port most of the time." Abendrot said with a wry smile. He only used it twice after the ship was launched.

, and then had to give up long-distance sea travel because of poor health.

"Grandpa Abendroth's 'Goddess' is a well-known luxury yacht in Europe. I have been on it and absolutely enjoyed it." Angelina lowered her voice and said to Fang Mingyuan. She did not expect that Abendroth actually wanted to

To give the "Goddess" to Fang Mingyuan, it can be said that each luxury yacht like this is specially customized and will not be mass-produced at all.

Fang Mingyuan was even more wary. Although he didn't often play yachts, he still owned a yacht in Hong Kong. And when he was in the Middle East, he often went to sea on super yachts. He was too concerned about the money spent on yachts.

I still know more or less.

Buying a yacht is actually just a part of all the expenses of yachting. Of course, such a large yacht cannot be completely operated by oneself. It must hire captains, crew members, helicopter pilots, and various service personnel. The total number may be several

Ten people, including the ship's insurance, port fees, maintenance fees and fuel costs, it is a considerable amount in a year. And the cost of interior decoration of the yacht is even more considerable. On some yachts, all kinds of luxury

The total value of the goods and artworks may even exceed the cost of the yacht itself!

Ansplenger just said that its cost exceeds 200 million US dollars!

"Fang, this is what you deserve. Our Welf family will never treat our friends badly. This is also the key to our family being able to continue for so many years, because our friends are all over the world." Old Welf said with a smile.

.

"If you insist, then I would rather obey your orders than respect you." Fang Mingyuan thought for a moment and said, "Then can I choose by myself?"

"Yes, of course there is no problem!" Old Welf said without hesitation.

"Then I hope to obtain tunnel boring machine manufacturing technology that is at least in line with the world's mainstream technology level!" Fang Mingyuan said.

"Tunnel boring machine manufacturing technology?" Abendrot thought for a moment and said, "Are you talking about things used for tunnel excavation in subways, railways, and highways?"

"If I remember correctly, Herrenknecht AG should be the manufacturer of this thing." Ansprenger said with some uncertainty.

"Yes, your country's Herrenknecht Co., Ltd. is a world-renowned manufacturer of tunnel boring machines." Fang Mingyuan said with a slap in the face.

"Edward, check with Herrenknecht AG to see if we have any shares in it." Old Welf turned his head and said to the butler standing nearby.

"Yes!" Edward bowed and stepped back.

"Fang, have breakfast first. I believe Edward will give us a definite answer soon." Old Welf said with a smile. (To be continued.)
