Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 681 I have confidence in it

Although Sir Brunel has the protection of his family, he also started his own business when he was young. Naturally, he understands that there is nothing unusual about one or two businesses. There are many people in this world, but personal

If this is the case, it will be different. Especially the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company, which has become an invisible money printing machine, suppressing the old Hollywood film companies, creating a miracle in the film industry!

What impressed Sir Brunel even more was that Fang Mingyuan took over the large aircraft project that China cooperated with the former McDonnell Douglas Company of the United States and established the Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group Company. It was such a company that no one was optimistic about.

A company that most people thought would be a complete loss-making enterprise has actually come down step by step and gained a firm foothold. Although it is still far from being able to compare with Boeing and Airbus, it has already become a global leader in aircraft production.

He has established his second-tier status in the manufacturing industry! He has also established two airlines, Qinxi Airlines and Kowloon Airlines, which are also prosperous. He himself is a director of British Airways and has great influence on the global aviation industry.

We are well aware of the current situation, so we understand how difficult it is for these two airlines to get to where they are today! Naturally, I have more admiration for Fang Mingyuan, this hands-off boss. And in recent times, Fang Mingyuan has helped HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd.

He avoided heavy losses in the Madoff scam and the Fortis Group Company, which made Sir Brunel look at Fang Mingyuan in a different light.

Moreover, he and Phillip were old friends, so when he learned that Fang Mingyuan had come to Europe and then to London, he naturally strongly requested to meet Fang Mingyuan.

"Sir Brunel, it's a pleasure to meet you." Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, "This is not the place to talk. Are we..."

"Oh, I'm so happy. This is really not the place to talk!" Sir Brunel then realized that this was outside the hotel, and it was still raining in the sky, so he kept saying, "Let's go in and talk."

Brunel pulled Fang Mingyuan and walked side by side in front, while Philip and his daughter followed behind them, walking towards the hotel surrounded by everyone.

Westbrook's eyes on the side always fell on Fang Mingyuan, because he had already recognized that the white man who accompanied the young man was Philip George Ruger, another director of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd.

Anderson Welf was born into a wealthy family and was also a well-known figure in the upper class of Europe. He was even more surprised as to who this young man was, that he would be accompanied by two directors of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd.

!

Perhaps Westbrook's gaze was too intense, which made Fang Mingyuan feel something. He looked over here. Their eyes collided in the air. Fang Mingyuan's footsteps paused slightly. Sir Brunel immediately felt something.

Following Fang Mingyuan's gaze, he looked over and said, "Fang, that is Kenan Westbrook, the president of Rio Tinto Group. Do you want me to introduce you to you? By the way, I remember you also have a mining company under your name.

You are also considered peers."

Kenan Westbrook? Fang Mingyuan is certainly not unfamiliar with this name, but compared to the last time we met in Australia, doesn't this one seem a little too fat? Moreover, it can be seen that Westbrook's complexion

It was quite bad that he could not recognize it at first sight. Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble you, Sir."

"This is just a matter of one sentence, how can there be any trouble!" Sir Brunel smiled, "I guess Mr. Westbrook is also curious about your identity now." After that, he led Fang Mingyuan to Westbrook.

Brooke came over.

Westbrook was startled at first, and then hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Sir Brunel smiled and said: "Mr. Westbrook, let me introduce, this person is from Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company and Kuok Shipping Group Company."

Dual presidents of HSBC Holdings PLC, director of HSBC Holdings PLC, the youngest winner of the Hollywood Oscar screenwriting award...'Fang', oh, Fang, I said your title is too much, right? Fang, this one is from Rio Tinto Group

Company President Kenan Westbrook.”

Westbrook was startled for a moment, and then he suddenly realized that it was him! No wonder he felt familiar, but couldn't remember it for a moment. This man didn't like to appear in the media at all! But every time he appeared in public,

At that time, he would become the darling of the media again! Although the two had met once before, Fang Mingyuan at this time seemed to have changed a lot in temperament compared to that time.

"Sir, Mr. Westbrook and I actually met once in Perth, Australia. At that time, he was with Mr. Vicky, the chairman of Rio Tinto Group. But we never had the chance to meet again after that. Look.

Come on, Mr. Westbrook didn’t recognize me either.” Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, “Mr. Westbrook, how is Chairman Vicki? Please say hello to him for me.”

Sir Brunel and others all looked surprised, but after thinking about it, they were relieved. It is more difficult for Easterners to identify Westerners and Westerners to identify Easterners. They are not familiar with each other, or have more obvious features.

Characteristics, or appearance may change slightly after a period of time, and you cannot recognize the other person immediately. This is not a rare thing, it is also very common in life.

"There are very few young, handsome and accomplished Orientals like Fang. Mr. Westbrook did not recognize him, which is not right!" Sir Brunel praised Fang Mingyuan calmly.

The corners of Fang Mingyuan's mouth twitched slightly, and the corners of Angelina's mouth behind him also turned up slightly. He knew his own family affairs. Although he couldn't be said to be ugly, he didn't think he could be called handsome. He was just above average.

, of course, if his career achievements are taken into account, I believe that most women will not have any objection to the four-character comment of being young and handsome. After all, for men, career achievements are the biggest criterion for measuring them.

If you have a good skin, you are a pretty boy!

"It really shouldn't be!" Westbrook chuckled, "Well, Mr. Fang has just arrived in London? Do you have time tonight? I will host a banquet tonight to cleanse Mr. Fang's dust. Sir, Director Philip

...How about we come together?" He glanced at Angelina twice and couldn't figure out what her identity was. She might be an assistant or secretary. Judging from her expression and behavior, she looked very different from Fang Mingyuan and Phillip.

Randomly, Sir Brunel seemed to have a different regard for her.

Sir Brunel and Philip both turned their eyes to Fang Mingyuan. It was obvious that they were following Fang Mingyuan's opinion on this matter. Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Then I won't bother Mr. Westbrook."

Watching Fang Mingyuan and the other four enter the hotel surrounded by their entourage, Westbrook turned and walked down the steps, got into his car that had been parked on the roadside, and said to the assistant who followed him: "You can arrange it as soon as possible.

Come on, I want the best in London tonight... do you think the Western restaurant is better, or the Chinese restaurant?" It was a rare opportunity to have dinner with three directors of HSBC Holdings Ltd.

Think carefully about making the three of you satisfied with the meal. Although he didn't expect that just one dinner would bring the relationship between the two parties closer, but wasn't this how connections were slowly built?

As for the Australian Haiping Mining Company and Rio Tinto Group Company, which are competitors in the same industry, who says that competitors cannot cooperate? Before BHP Billiton Group Company suddenly went crazy and wanted to acquire Rio Tinto Group Company, the three giants gradually transformed the international iron ore market.

When market prices have reached unprecedented highs, how can cooperation be possible without tacit understanding? Moreover, Fang Mingyuan owns the largest private steel group company in China, as well as the Huasheng Group, which acts as an agent for many private steel companies to import iron ore.

Company, Rio Tinto Group Company cannot avoid it if it wants to continue to expand its iron ore exports in China. Brazil's Vale Company has already taken the first step, and Rio Tinto Group Company cannot at least be one step slower than BHP Billiton Group Company. Even if it is

No agreement can be reached between the two parties, and the opportunity cannot be left to BHP Billiton Group Company.

The female assistant frowned slightly and said with some uncertainty: "Mr. Fang must be used to Chinese food. Now that he has arrived in London, I think he will appreciate Western food more?" China is a world-famous gourmet country, and the only Western food is French.

The big meal can compete with the Chinese food, but there is nothing else to say.

"I remember... Fang is also the founder of a chain restaurant company. Does that company have chain stores in London? Check it quickly! If not, you can book us a seat at the best Western restaurant in London!" Weiss

Brook pondered for a moment and said, although the French meal is famous, Westbrook is not sure whether it will satisfy Fang Mingyuan, but if it is said that it is dining in Fang Mingyuan's own restaurant, at least Fang Mingyuan, Sir Brunel and

None of the three Philips would find fault.

Westbrook was busy preparing for dinner, but Fang Mingyuan and his party had already arrived at Sir Brunel's hotel suite. The four of them sat down separately. Sir Brunel noticed that Angelina did not sit down.

Next to Phillip, he sat next to Fang Mingyuan instead. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. He was no stranger to Angelina.

"Charles, Angelina is Fang's assistant now." Philip noticed Sir Brunel's surprised look and chuckled, "So on this occasion today, she is considered Fang's assistant."

"Oh..." Sir Brunel suddenly realized, but he was shocked in his heart. Angelina is Philip's daughter, old Welf's beloved granddaughter, and a direct descendant of the Welf family. She can become Fang Mingyuan.

Assistant, does that mean that the cooperation between the Welf family and Fang Mingyuan has reached a new breakthrough, and the relationship between the two parties has become closer? The Welf family has repeatedly avoided crises in recent years. This time, the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis

The Welf family did not seem to suffer much losses due to the turmoil in the global financial market caused by this. I am afraid that Fang Mingyuan was also responsible for this.

"Then I would like to congratulate you, Philip." Sir Brunel smiled, "Angelina will definitely be able to learn a lot from Fang's side. If Fang can have Fang's vision in the business field,

Your Welf family now has another capable talent!"

"You're welcome, Sir!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "It's just good luck that I'm able to get to where I am today!"

"No, no, no, can luck be good for a while, but can it be good for more than 20 years? In that case, it is no longer luck!" Sir Brunel shook his head repeatedly. The four of them chatted casually and slowly turned around.

Getting to the point, Sir Brunel met Fang Mingyuan this time. Although he wanted to know Fang Mingyuan's true face in Lushan, he also had other purposes.

"Fang, I know that you and Philip have been proposing in the board of directors that the company delay the recovery of the loan from Burj Khalifa World Company, and I heard Philip said that you plan to invest in Burj Khalifa World Company?" Sir Brunel said seriously,

"The current situation of Burj Khalifa World Company is not optimistic. The liabilities are close to the total assets, and the economic prospects of the Emirate of Dubai are not good. Are you sure that Burj Khalifa World Company can get out of its current predicament?"

As a member of the board of directors of HSBC Holdings plc, Sir Brunel's understanding of the current situation of Burj Khalifa World is naturally far beyond ordinary people. To be honest, he is not optimistic about the future prospects of Burj Khalifa World.

In his opinion, Dubai's economic miracle was built on the beach. It relies too much on the local real estate industry and the lack of development of other industries determines that in today's economic environment, the future of Dubai's economy is not bright. If

This request was not made by Fang Mingyuan, and Fang Mingyuan had created too many miracles before. He would not worry about the rationality of this proposal and would reject it on the spot.

"Charles in the board of directors currently has reservations about our proposal." Fang Mingyuan thought of the information Philip told him before coming. If he can persuade Sir Brunel to join his side, he may be able to convince others who also have reservations.

The other two directors also changed their tune.

"Sir, first of all, I want to make it clear that in this world, unless there is a monopoly, there is no business that can make a profit without losing money." Fang Mingyuan said, "Of course, under certain circumstances, a monopoly may not necessarily be able to make a profit."

But basically speaking, monopoly is the easiest way to make money and the least risk." Sir Brunel nodded. He had no objection to this point. If a company that occupies a monopoly position will still lose money, then

It can only be said that managers are pigs.

"Secondly, I am indeed active and plan to participate in Burj Khalifa World Company and request 30% of the shares. However, this request has not yet been agreed upon in Dubai. After all, Burj Khalifa World Company belongs to the Emirate of Dubai.

It would be more troublesome for me, an outsider, to participate in a sovereign fund company. However, with His Highness Maktoum and the current bad situation of Burj Khalifa World Corporation, I believe it is only a matter of time." Fang Mingyuan continued, "Sir, why don't you do it yet?

You know, the US$4.7 billion loan that Burj Khalifa needs to repay at the end of this year and the beginning of next year is no longer a problem."

"Hmm? Where did Burj Khalifa World get its funds?" Sir Brunel asked in surprise. The loan of US$4.7 billion that Burj Khalifa World needed to repay at the end of the year and the beginning of the year has always been ignored by major financial institutions.

Institutions believe that it is very likely that Burj Khalifa World Company will announce the need for an extension. Of the US$4.7 billion loan, HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. accounts for approximately US$400 million.

"His Royal Highness Maktoum used his equity in several companies such as the Burj Al Arab Hotel to obtain a mortgage loan of US$5 billion from the Second Gulf Bank, and the Second Gulf Bank has already approved this application." Fang Mingyuan said, "And through it.

After overcoming this difficulty, the next large loan of Burj Khalifa World Company will be almost until July or August next year, of which HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. will account for a considerable share. I hope that HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. will allow Burj Khalifa to be

The delay in repayment of the loan by World Company will give Burj World Company more time to restructure and ensure its turnaround."

Sir Brunel pondered for a long time. He had also heard about the Second Gulf Bank. Its founder was Sheikh Maktoum, the current leader of Dubai, Prince Abdullah, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Energy of Kuwait, and the one in front of him.

Although it is not known how the specific equity is distributed among the three, without the joint approval of Prince Abdullah and Fang Mingyuan, it should be impossible for Maktoum alone to force such a loan.

applied for.

Although Kuwait is small, it is a world-renowned wealthy country. Prince Abdullah is also a powerful figure in Kuwait. Although his personal net worth is not known to be exactly how many billions of dollars, it is certainly quite a lot. As for the person in front of him, although he is also said to have a net worth

The wealth is unknown, but privately many people believe that even if it is not as good as Bill, it is not far behind. With the strong support of the two people, I have to say that Marktoum is still very lucky. Since the sum of forty-seven dollars at the end of the year and the beginning of the year

If the loan repayment of 100 million U.S. dollars is not a problem, then the crisis of Burj Khalifa World Company has been temporarily overcome. More than half a year will be long or short. Perhaps, this person can really make the Burj Khalifa

Are world companies back on track?

"I have confidence in Burj Khalifa World Company because of its superior geographical location and open governance policy...Angelina, don't laugh, compared to other countries in the Middle East, Dubai is the most open to foreigners.

It has the least constraints and has a responsible leader. And I asked Sir Brunel to have confidence in Burj Khalifa World Company, and one more thing, I have confidence in it!" Fang Mingyuan said. (Unfinished)
