Resource Tycoon Reborn

In the central area of ​​Tokyo, adjacent to the Imperial Palace, is the Akasaka Palace, also known as the Tokyo State Guest House. This was once a luxurious palace built by the Emperor of Japan specifically for the prince. It is full of the style of a Western-style palace. Because it was too luxurious, after its completion,

, it has been idle for almost half of the past century. Now it has become the national guest house of the Japanese government, used by heads of state, important government officials and important guests to visit Japan. When the British Prince of Wales visited Japan, he was

Arrange to live in this palace. This year is 2008, which is the 100th anniversary of its construction. For Japan, which is always troubled by earthquakes, this century-old building is still such a historic royal house.

Palaces are given more attention.

Therefore, it is currently undergoing a major cleaning of its external facilities to ensure that it faces the world in its best appearance. Of course, this does not affect its reception of guests who come to visit Japan. As the world's second largest economy

As a big country, Japan still has a great influence in the international community. Many foreign dignitaries come to visit Japan every year.

His Highness Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of the Emirate of Dubai, is the most distinguished guest currently received by the Akasaka Palace. He is on a state visit to Japan on behalf of the United Arab Emirates and will stay in Japan for three nights and two nights.

day, and then head to the United States.

When Fang Mingyuan arrived at the gate of Akasaka Palace, it was already around nine o'clock in the evening. Chief Maktoum had just returned here from the dinner with Japanese dignitaries. When Maktoum's entourage came to the door to greet Fang Mingyuan,

But he found that Fang Mingyuan's vehicle had passed the guard at the door, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange. Although the guard at the door was Japanese, Fang Mingyuan was a guest invited by His Highness. Logically speaking, should he also ask here? How did he know?

, Fang Mingyuan was in Japan, where he could directly enter even the Emperor's residence and the Prime Minister's Office, although except for former Prime Minister Murayama Tomiichi, he had never used this privilege again.

Fang Mingyuan and Lin Lian came to the area where Mark Toum lived. Mark Toum had already gone to the door to welcome Fang Mingyuan in person. After a warm greeting between the two parties, Mark Toum took Fang Mingyuan to the living room and sat down.

Fang Mingyuan looked around. Sure enough, as the rumors said, this place seemed quite luxurious. You could see various exquisite plaster reliefs with gold foil everywhere, and there were gorgeous chandeliers hanging on the roof. Although I didn't know where they were.

It is a product of a country, but just looking at its extremely gorgeous appearance, you can be sure that it must be worth a lot of money.

The entourage brought coffee, Maktoum waved his hand gently, and everyone in the room except one of his personal entourage withdrew.

"Fang, congratulations on having a few more babies. Don't refuse a little gadget." Marktoum smiled. As he spoke, his personal entourage took out a stack of documents and handed them to Fang Mingyuan. Fang Mingyuan was not polite and took the

He came over and flipped through it, and there were four racehorses, six real estate properties around the world, and the ownership of some jewelry. Fang Mingyuan signed his name in a flash, and handed it back to Marktoum's personal entourage. The rest was done.

, the other party will handle it safely.

"I'm still young, and I will definitely have more children. If you think about it this way, you are at a loss!" Fang Mingyuan chuckled. Maktoum was born in 1950, and is twenty-seven years older than him. Although

There are now twenty-one children, but more than half of them were born before Fang Mingyuan and he knew each other.

"Haha, you have many children and grandchildren. Your wealth is so strong that even if it is averaged over each of them, it will be enough for them to live a wealthy life. As an uncle, I can still get this gift.

"Maktoum laughed.

"Okay, let's get down to business!" Fang Mingyuan suppressed his smile and said, "If there is anything I can do to help you, just ask."

"Alas..." Maktoum let out a long sigh. At this time, he also regretted it. As early as two or three years ago, Fang Mingyuan reminded him many times that Dubai's current development model has hidden dangers. Once the world economy undergoes a major turmoil,

, may trigger a series of follow-up questions. During this period, Prince Abdullah was also asked to tell him that he must be wary of the impact of the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis on Dubai. However, he did not give enough warning to Fang Mingyuan many times.

Pay attention to it. It was not until half a year ago that I really realized the existence of the risk. Unfortunately, it was too late and it is already hard to turn back!

In Dubai today, many projects have fallen into a situation where funds are unable to continue and are facing huge risks of unfinishment. Even those projects under the Dubai Sovereign Fund Company are now also burdened with debts! At the end of the year, these companies need

The debt repayment is as high as 4.7 billion U.S. dollars, but so far, the funds he is sure to recover are only Fan Mingyuan's last 1.5 billion U.S. dollars! The total debt of these companies exceeds 70 billion U.S. dollars, and the annual GDP of the Emirate of Dubai is also

It's just a few billion dollars higher than that.

"It's because I didn't pay attention to your opinion that we got this result today!" Marktoum said sadly, "If I could have listened to your opinion even a year ago, the current situation would not be so bad."

"Your Highness, now is not the time to find out who is right or wrong, but to come up with a plan on how to solve the problem!" Fang Mingyuan leaned thirty degrees in his direction and said in a low voice, "I know that the current situation

Although it is difficult for His Highness, it is not at the point where nothing can be done. But I just want to ask a few questions, does Your Highness consider me, Fang Mingyuan, as a friend? Is it that difficult to borrow money from me? It is better than borrowing from other people in the country.

Do you want money?"

Maktoum was very excited, but he still shook his head and said: "Of course you are my friend. Dubai can be what it is today and can realize my dream without your help. But this time, we owe it to you."

The debt is too much!" The debt of up to 70 billion U.S. dollars, although not all of it needs to be repaid immediately, is still an extremely considerable amount, and this amount is huge for the largest emirate in the United Arab Emirates.

For the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, which has abundant oil and natural gas reserves, this is not a big problem. Although this will be his last resort, it will have no impact on his status and voice in the United Arab Emirates government.

There will be a serious impact.

"It's true. There are too many unfinished projects in Dubai this time, and the real estate industry will also face a severe setback, which will have an impact on Dubai's economy...I personally am powerless, and I really can't help much.

I'm busy." Fang Mingyuan nodded and said, "But if it's just Burj Khalifa World Company, I think I can still do something. If you believe in my ability."

"Are you telling the truth?" Maktoum grabbed Fang Mingyuan's hand excitedly and asked urgently, Burj Khalifa World Company is a sovereign fund investment company in Dubai, and its debt is one of the three major sovereign fund investment companies.

The largest one is more than 60 billion U.S. dollars! If Burj World Company can be stabilized, then the remaining debts of the Emirate of Dubai will be much easier to deal with. If someone else said this, he would definitely be disdainful

At a glance, he saw many people who talked like honey, but actually accomplished nothing! But Fang Mingyuan was different. After so many years of interaction, and Fang Mingyuan's achievements all along, it was impossible not to believe it!

Lin Lian couldn't help but feel anxious. She told Fang Mingyuan repeatedly yesterday that Dubai today is a gold-eating beast. Throwing billions or tens of billions of dollars into it may not be able to change the current situation that Dubai Sovereign Fund Investment Company is about to go bankrupt! Why today?

After meeting, Fang Mingyuan jumped in without hesitation? She couldn't help but kick Fang Mingyuan secretly. There were so many places to use money, and if it was used in Dubai, what about other places?

Fang Mingyuan chuckled and said: "Your Highness, do you think I would joke with you on such an important matter? Although it is very difficult and may fail, I think it is worth trying."

"Say it, say it!" Marktoum, who was refreshed, said repeatedly. He never expected that he could hear such good news here in Fang Mingyuan!

"First, I hope that all the current management team of Burj Khalifa World will be laid off, and then after re-evaluation, maybe some people can be re-employed," Fang Mingyuan said.

"There is no problem!" Maktoum said without hesitation. Burj Khalifa World Company has reached this point. If the current management team has no responsibility, who would believe it? Of course, he, the big boss, must have the greatest responsibility, but always

You can't fire yourself.

"Second, I apply to buy shares in Burj Khalifa World Company, 30% of the shares, no less..." Fang Mingyuan paused and said, "I know that Burj Khalifa World Company is a Dubai sovereign fund investment company. As a

It would be more troublesome for Chinese people to invest in it, but if I don’t have equity, I don’t have the right to speak! And if I don’t have the right to speak, it’s useless to say anything else.”

Maktoum pondered for a long time, and he also understood that Fang Mingyuan's request to buy shares in Burj Khalifa World at this time was not for power and profit. Otherwise, he would ask to buy shares again after the news broke that Burj World Company was unable to repay its debts in time.

, the resistance will be much smaller. The trouble is how Dubai will react to this matter. Although he is the chief of the Emirate of Dubai and holds great power, he must also balance various domestic forces.

Moreover, he also understood that Fang Mingyuan's investment in Burj Khalifa World Company not only brought precious funds that could be used for emergency relief, but also valuable confidence for investors and creditors! Fang Mingyuan's investment vision is recognized

, the companies he is optimistic about, the success rate so far is frighteningly high. His investment in Burj Khalifa World Company, which is as high as 30% of the shares, undoubtedly fully proves his confidence in the future prospects of Burj Khalifa World Company.

Be optimistic, and after the Madoff scam, many financial institutions owe him a lot of favors. He himself is a shareholder or director of many banks such as HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd., and the investors and creditors of Burj Khalifa World Corporation.

Even if you ask for the recovery of debts and funds, you must think twice before doing so. This will buy Burj Khalifa World Company valuable time to turn its losses back into profits. If the world economy can get back on track, then these

Stress is no longer stress.

"Third, Burj Khalifa World Company, Longxing Construction Group Company, Samsung Group, and Kuok Shipping Group Company must reach an agreement as soon as possible to transfer their Burj Khalifa project and some of the assets of Burj Khalifa World Port Company to Gulf Second Bank

We will also make another emergency loan to Burj Khalifa World Company to ensure that the loan at the end of the year can be repaid on time." Fang Mingyuan continued, "In this way, we can stabilize the hearts of investors! And we can sign a supplementary contract for the Burj Khalifa project, and

Some of the assets of Burj Khalifa World Port Company are transferred, and within ten years, Burj Khalifa World Company has the right to buy them back at the same price. The loan from Gulf Second Bank does not charge interest for the first five years and charges for the next five years.

Half the normal interest rate.”

"This won't work!" Maktoum said immediately. The conditions given by Fang Mingyuan were too good. Wouldn't this mean that he would lend money to Burj Khalifa World Company without interest, and these assets would be collateral. Moreover, the Gulf No. 1

The loans from the second bank should start with billions of dollars. No interest will be charged for the first five years, and half of the normal interest will be charged for the next five years. The interest transferred alone is a considerable amount. Moreover, you must know that in the past

The current financial situation of Burj Khalifa World Company is that even if a bank is willing to lend it, it will definitely not implement the normal interest rate, let alone ten years! The benefits Fang Mingyuan has given up here are really amazing.

.

"Your Highness!" Fang Mingyuan said anxiously.

"This is absolutely not allowed!" Maktoum said categorically, "I will not sign such an unfair agreement. Not only because you are my friend, but also because I am the Sheikh of Dubai. How will people view me in the future? This

Absolutely not! There is no room for negotiation!”

Lin Lian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If they followed Fang Mingyuan's proposal, they would have to invest at least tens of billions of dollars in Dubai. This amount has exceeded the total amount of funds Fang Mingyuan has withdrawn from Japan, and more importantly,

, this investment does not seem to produce enough returns, and the risk is too great! If all these funds are lost in Dubai, it will be a big deal for the Fang family! Moreover, in this way, it is bound to be

It will also affect many other projects currently being prepared by the Fang family. The consequences of the chain reaction are really unpredictable! (To be continued.)
