Resource Tycoon Reborn

Xun Botao was sitting in the cabin of a luxury business jet, flipping through the information in his hands and looking sideways at the drizzle outside the window. Fang Mingyuan urgently recruited him to go to Japan without any warning, let alone for what purpose.

What, this made Xun Botao inevitably murmur in his heart. Hong Kong Baifusheng Investment Company is now the well-deserved and dominant investment leader in Hong Kong. Although the global economy has been affected by the subprime mortgage crisis,

There has been some bad momentum, but the performance of Baifusheng Investment Company in the first two months is still quite satisfactory. And he also reported it to Fang Mingyuan less than two weeks ago. However, such a rapid and sudden change

Recruitment always makes Xun Botao feel a little uneasy, fearing that something will go wrong in his work.

Fortunately, Dongfeng was also summoned by Fang Mingyuan this time, which made him feel more at ease. Xun Botao has been integrated into this circle for many years, so he naturally knows that Yu Dongfeng is also in charge of the Fang family and the Guo family

Important people who invest overseas have much larger funds than Baifusheng Investment Company. Moreover, Yu Dongfeng's actions are more hidden and unknown. Although he is not well-known, his status with Fang Mingyuan is higher than that of him.

Xun Bo Tao is here, only high but not low!

Regarding this point, Xun Botao has a very balanced mentality. After all, the cooperation between Yu Dongfeng and Fang Mingyuan was much earlier than his own. It is said that at the beginning of the Fang family's fortune, Yu Dongfeng entered the industry on the recommendation of Mr. Guo.

Fang Mingyuan's team, and Yu Dongfeng and Yu Qiuxia have a close relationship, so they should be more trusted. Moreover, if Fang Mingyuan and Mr. Guo hadn't jointly injected capital into Baifusheng Investment Company, he and Hu Botao would have already

Bankruptcy, although he is confident that he can make a comeback even if he goes bankrupt. But if he can avoid bankruptcy, who is willing to go through such a journey? And now the position of Baifusheng Investment Company in Hong Kong in the Asian investment industry has already been

Far more than before, although his shares in Baifusheng Investment Company have shrunk significantly, his net worth has more than doubled!

And he is very happy working in Baifusheng Investment Company now. Fang Mingyuan will only pay attention to the general direction of the company's investment. He has never interfered with the normal operation of the company. Compared with Baifusheng Investment Company back then,

Xun Botao's prestige in the company is high and not low, and no one dares to play any tricks in secret. Of course, Xun Botao will not secretly play some tricks for his own interests just because of Fang Mingyuan's trust.

, his principles of life do not allow him to do this; secondly, he also understands in his heart. Although the importance of Baifusheng Investment Company in the companies under the Fang family cannot be ignored, it does not mean that he, Xun Botao, is indispensable.

Instead, losing big by being small and ruining your reputation for a lifetime is a loss outweighing the gain!

The longer he followed Fang Mingyuan, the more surprised Xun Botao was at Fang Mingyuan's grasp of the general trend of world economic development. It was precisely because of Fang Mingyuan's accurate grasp of the general trend of economic development that Baifusheng Investment Company was able to grow smoothly and rapidly!

"Bo Tao, I kept you waiting!" Yu Dongfeng's voice interrupted Xun Bo Tao's thoughts.

Xun Botao smiled and said, "I didn't wait long, Brother Yu... got wet?" Only then did he notice that Yu Dongfeng's shoulder was heavily wet.

"Look at the rain outside. It has entered the airport, and it suddenly became heavy!" Yu Dongfeng took off his coat, and a stewardess came over to bring him tea. He took the coat and reminded the two of them in a low voice.

, the plane can take off in ten minutes at most.

"Bo Tao, why do you think Mr. Fang suddenly wants us to go to Japan?" Yu Dongfeng asked, "It seems that there haven't been any big events in the financial and corporate circles in Japan recently?"

Xun Botao nodded. Although the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States has become more and more intense and has dragged European countries into this quagmire, the impact on Japanese financial institutions is not great. Speaking of which,

This is also a blessing in disguise for the Japanese. Japan's bubble crisis left a lot of mess for Japanese financial institutions. The amount of non-performing loans shocked the world. It can be said that over the years, most of Japan's financial institutions have focused on solving these legacy problems.

There is no way to develop financial business. In the past two years, these financial institutions have been busy with mergers and reorganizations in order to enhance their competitiveness. The development of the securities industry lags behind that of developed countries in Europe and the United States. This is exactly what made the Japanese suffer from the subprime mortgage crisis.

Not deeply involved!

Of course, this does not mean that the Japanese were unscathed from the subprime mortgage crisis, but it is just that compared with the United States and European countries, the possible losses of nearly 900 billion yen are nothing.

"Could it be related to Mizuho Financial Group?" asked Botao. Mizuho Financial Group is Japan's largest financial group and suffered the greatest impact from the subprime mortgage crisis.

Yu Dongfeng pondered for a moment and shook his head. Although Mizuho Financial Group was hit, those losses were nothing compared to its total assets, and it would not cause any turmoil. Yu Dongfeng said:

"I think it has something to do with the future changes in the yen exchange rate?" The subprime mortgage crisis caused the Federal Reserve to continuously lower interest rates. However, Japan's domestic interest rates have already been low, and any further adjustments will lead to zero interest rates. This makes Japan

The government simply cannot follow the footsteps of the United States. The result is that the depreciation of the US dollar is likely to cause the appreciation of the yen!

Japan is a big country in import and export trade. Once there is a significant depreciation of the US dollar and an appreciation of the yen, it will cause huge trouble for the Japanese economy. This will increase its expenditure on purchasing raw materials and reduce profits from exported goods, which in turn will

Affecting the development of Japan's domestic economy. After entering two thousand years, the Japanese economy relied on strong overseas import demand and achieved an average annual growth rate of 2%. Although this figure is compared with the growth rates of China, the United States and other countries

, is not very outstanding, but considering that Japan’s economy has been stagnant for many years, or even had negative growth, we can see how precious this number is. Although Japan’s economic data in the first quarter of 2007 and 2008 are still

It has not come out, but many well-known figures in the economic circle believe that Japan's six-year economic expansion period has ended or is about to end! Facing the dual pressures of economic recession and inflation, Japan's economy in 2008

Growth will decline!

In the Fang family's economic map, Japan undoubtedly occupies a very important position and is also an important market. The reason why the Fang family can grow so quickly is that blood drawn from Japan accounts for a large proportion. So the two guessed

, is Fang Mingyuan going to take action again in Japan? The economic crisis is for those who are unprepared. For those who are prepared, the crisis is also an opportunity! Not to mention the past, this time before the subprime mortgage crisis broke out

, Fang Mingyuan was obviously prepared, so it was no wonder that the two of them thought so.

Although Japan's status on the global economic map has declined significantly, its technological status in many economic fields is still as stable as Mount Tai, not to mention domestic companies, including developed companies in Europe and the United States.

He is also salivating. If he can "take advantage of the fire" again, it will undoubtedly be a rare feast for the companies under the Fang family.

When they arrived at the Kumamoto Prefecture Airport on Kyushu Island, Japan, it was already past four in the afternoon. Fang Mingyuan went to the airport in person to greet them.

"Cooperate with Prince Al Saud to seek shares in Citigroup?" Yu Dongfeng shouted in silence. He and Xun Botao looked at each other, and they saw extreme surprise in each other's eyes. For Khalid bin.

Prince Talal Al Saud and Citigroup are naturally strangers to each other. This news really shocked them, and at the same time they were slightly excited!

"That's right. Prince Al Saud and I have reached an agreement. We will work together with the goal of Citigroup. We will strive to eventually achieve more than 35% of our shares in Citigroup!" Fang Ming nodded.

He nodded and said, "Prince Al Saud's personal shareholding will reach 25%, and the remaining shares and profits will belong to us."

"I remember that Prince Al Saud now controls almost 15% of the shares of Citigroup, right?" Xun Botao said after a while, "In other words, we have to find a way to help him get another 10% of the shares."

Shares? Mr. Fang, although Citigroup has recently been involved in the subprime mortgage crisis and its stock price has declined, it is not easy to get so many shares from its shareholders!"

"Bo Tao is right, this is not an easy task. It is likely to cost a huge amount of money! And this is not a problem that money can solve!" Yu Dongfeng nodded. After all, Citigroup is one of the world's top 500 companies.

First, it is one of the largest financial groups in the world. It is a world-renowned company, and its stock price is astonishingly high. Moreover, if Prince Al Saud gets 25% of the shares, it means that he controls Citigroup

A quarter of the equity of the group company may be sufficient to serve as the chairman of Citigroup, but it is impossible for the shareholders of Citigroup to let it go easily!

"I understand, but in the next two years we have an opportunity to obtain a large number of shares at a lower stock price, as long as we operate well!" Fang Mingyuan said in a deep voice, "And how much we can get in the end depends on

Next comes the level of our operations and cooperation.”

Xun Botao and Yu Dongfeng's hearts beat rapidly, and then there was a burst of ecstasy. Since Fang Mingyuan said this, there must be an opportunity! They have no doubt about this. As an investor,

If a company's managers can successfully acquire the equity of a top financial group company like Citigroup, that will be enough to boast about for a lifetime!

"Master Fang, has Prince Al Saud told you the detailed situation of Citigroup?" Yu Dongfeng asked.

"Well, the situation was worse than what we got. He invited me here, originally hoping that I could inject capital into Citibank." Fang Mingyuan said, "However, in the end, he was convinced by me."

"Master Fang, my admiration for you is just like the endless flow of the Yangtze River!" Xun Botao couldn't help but raise his thumbs up and said! Prince Al Saud is not an ordinary person, he himself is a well-known entrepreneur.

And investors, no one was optimistic about Citibank back then, but he was able to ignore the persuasion of others and resolutely inject huge sums of money into Citibank. Naturally, he was determined. Fang Mingyuan was able to persuade him to change his mind and change his mind to cooperate with him. This was not a difficult task.

Just so-so.

"It's okay, because my method can help us gain more benefits!" Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, "And with his cooperation, my plan can go more smoothly. Moreover, this person gave

The benefits are hard for me to refuse. Moreover, his identity also makes it hard for me to hide him." Xun Botao and Yu Dongfeng nodded knowingly. They also knew that Fang Mingyuan had a good relationship with the Middle Eastern royal family, and the Middle East was also in peace.

It is an important importing place for the Petroleum Corporation, and Prince Al Saud has a great influence in the Middle East countries. If Fang Mingyuan has no idea of ​​​​taking Citigroup, then forget it, but now that he wants to take it,

Prince Al Saud mentioned this again. If he conceals it, he may cause other troubles in the future.

"Anyway, overall, we may gain less from Citigroup, but being able to get compensation from other aspects can be regarded as a win-win result." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. He had also considered it repeatedly, and based on his own

In the original plan, he may have obtained more shares, but by cooperating with Prince Al Saud, his overall voice has been strengthened. After all, Citigroup is also a banner of Wall Street, and he, a Chinese, occupies

Acquiring too many shares and taking advantage of the situation will definitely arouse strong dissatisfaction from many people. With Prince Al Saud as a shield in front of him, I will be much more worry-free.

"At that time, Prince Al Saud will also send his closest confidants to cooperate with you. Considering that everyone will be very busy in the next two years, and this matter cannot be missed, I have asked both of them

Come here." Fang Mingyuan said, "Two years of hard work, and in two years our career will reach a new level!"

"We understand!" Xun Botao and Yu Dongfeng said in unison. For such a rare opportunity, they are willing to work hard no matter how hard they work. Not to mention that they will definitely get huge profits after success. This honor alone is enough for them to invest enthusiastically.
