Chapter 547: Blank Promises
The island of nearly 30 square kilometers is not small, there are many places to play on the island, it is difficult to walk all over the island in just three or four days, but it is no problem to see it for sightseeing, so Shen Hui spent three days turning the whole island.
There is a large wooded area in the northwest corner of the island, and there are some residents in the woods, which adds a lot of aura to the island.
Don't get me wrong, it's not people, it's some animals.
There are monkeys, but also South American deer, alpacas, a flock of colorful pheasants, etc.
When people approach, these residents will be vigilant to distance themselves.
Shen Hui was amazed and asked Pierre: "Are they all wild?"
Pierre said: "Sir, these guys are semi-wild, except for usually putting a little food on them, most of the time we don't disturb their lives, so we are more wary of humans. โ
"Very good. โ
Shen Hui nodded, people do a good job of this, and getting along with animals is also a science, if it is not a species, it is best not to interfere with other people's lives, otherwise animals will become vassals of humans.
Like a tiger in a zoo, is it still the king of beasts?
That's fine, and you can help properly, but it's best not to lock up as a pet.
Otherwise, these animals will become poultry and lose some of their original talents.
At dinner, Shen Hui said to Huang Peipei, "Come with me to Panama City tomorrow." โ
Huang Peipei asked, "What are you doing?"
Shen Hui said: "The president invited him to be a guest. โ
Huang Peipei didn't want to go: "Can't you go alone?"
Shen Hui said: "People invite us and my wife by name, it's not good not to go to other people's territory." โ
Huang Peipei grabbed her hair, a little distressed, and she was most afraid of following Boss Shen to see the president and prime minister or something.
She is just a mortal, and she doesn't have that kind of special spiritual needs, the president and prime minister, the creature at the top of the food chain, it is enough to see it once, and it is really a little tired to see it after three days and two ends.
Chen Jiaojiao said: "How much do you see the president, why do you have such an expression?"
Huang Peipei was not angry: "If you want to go, you go with me, I don't want to go!"
Chen Jiaojiao said: "I want to go, but people don't want to see me!"
Huang Peipei patted her head vigorously, looking extremely speechless.
Shen Huiwu was speechless, this daughter-in-law is good for everything else, but this is not good.
Other women look forward to seeing big people every day and talking and laughing with big guys? But this mother-in-law is the most annoying to see the big guys? I can't pull it out, so it's not a bad thing to say? But when you need to socialize, you have to socialize.
Of course? Although Huang Peipei doesn't really want to go, she can still distinguish the severity.
Next? The two flew to Panama City.
Report to the embassy and then settle in the state guesthouse? Rest until the afternoon? I went to the presidential palace with Huang Peipei to attend a dinner, and the courtesy car drove all the way, and the treatment was quite high, of course, it was indispensable to be accompanied by relevant personnel? There are certain mistakes that you can't make when you're away from home.
The dinner was followed by a cocktail party.
After the reception, return to the hotel to rest.
Talks the next day? And then accompanied by a vice president, all around, Panama City, Santiago Gocรณ, Cologne Free Trade Zone, and other places? Cologne's free trade zone Shen Hui is more interested.
This place is located at the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean of the Panama Canal, which is the largest free trade zone in the Western Hemisphere? At the same time, it is also the world's second largest free trade area after North America, and is listed as an entrepot center for Central and South America with Miami? Free import of goods in the free trade zone without quota restrictions? No import taxes? Is the re-export of goods free? No taxes are paid.
With such a convenient international trade port, the financial industry is naturally very developed.
Although Panama is a small country, the total GDP is also a bit weak, last year's total GDP is not as good as the net profit of Xinghai Investment for the whole year, but backed by the United States Dad society is very stable, it is still a famous tax haven, and it is a blessed land and treasure land for the savage growth of offshore finance, more than 100 international banks around the world have opened branches here, and most of the offshore accounts of Xinghai Investment have been opened here.
In 2014, 47 countries and regions signed an agreement agreeing to the automatic sharing of tax-related overseas accounts between banks, and even traditional "tax havens" such as Liechtenstein and the Cayman Islands have joined them, causing huge shocks in the international market.
Panama, on the other hand, has been a hard-line refusal to cooperate with the international transparency movement, becoming the last mainstay of tax havens, especially since money laundering and fraud are allowed and legal, so they are favored by capital.
Most of Xinghai Investment's huge overseas funds are transferred from here.
After three days, I returned to Panama City again.
After the second meeting with the president, the two sides signed a loan agreement, under which Xinghai Investment, through its offshore company, provided a $1 billion loan to the Pakistani government with no interest but a generous set of additional conditions.
There was no media involvement, only witnesses from the people involved.
After repeatedly expressing their hope to spend a sweet honeymoon vacation with their lover in peace, Shen Hui and Huang Peipei left Panama City and flew back to Mokassy Island, where they visited the company's first vacation employees who had just arrived in Mokassic Island yesterday.
"Is it worth a billion dollars to buy a bunch of empty checks?"
On the plane, Huang Peipei asked Shen Hui with some puzzlement.
Shen Hui smiled: "Of course it's cost-effective, if the money can't play a role, it's just a pile of waste paper, and it's not a blank check, those additional conditions don't seem to be of much use, but in fact, they can make the company avoid some potential risks, and you will only get more, and even if the Pakistani government wants to deny it, do you think the capitalists' money is so easy to take?"
Huang Peipei didn't quite understand: "Anyway, I don't think those conditions are worth a billion dollars." โ
Shen Hui patiently analyzed him: "Why is it not worth it, just say one, the Pakistani government has no money, but the people have money, financial institutions have money, as long as Xinghai Investment gets a full financing license, you can raise a large amount of funds from financial institutions or the private sector, with the capital operation ability and profitability of Xinghai Investment, the profit in a year is more than one billion." โ
Huang Peipei was stunned, feeling that these things were too complicated, and she didn't want to bother with her brains.
Back to Mokassi Island, I went to the central courtyard first.
The first wave of more than 200 people who came for vacation, each of whom also brought two family members, came more than 600 people, directly chartered a hotel, poured a night of jet lag, got up early in the morning to visit the owner's courtyard.
When Shen Hui and his wife arrived at the big courtyard, everyone was still visiting the big courtyard of the island owner.
None of the executives came, but a few middle-level people came, and Pei Shishi led the team.
More than 600 people are a bit much, each with two family members, but most of the employees of Xinghai Investment are not married, so most of them bring their parents or boyfriends and girlfriends, and a few bring their husbands or wives and children.
There are too many people, and the owner's large courtyard can't fit it, so he can only go in batches to visit.
Xinghai's employees are nothing, and their families are strange, and the difference is very big.
The biggest difference is still the parents, some of them are cadres or mental workers who sit in the government at a glance, and some are migrant workers at a glance, and the vicissitudes of life are written on their faces, and they cower behind their children and dare not run around.
Many parents are obviously going abroad for the first time, and they are cautious everywhere.
Seeing these parents, Shen Hui couldn't help but think of his father and mother.
There is no easy way to be a parent, and the responsibility of a lifetime can be said to be for the sake of children.
After pondering for a while, he called Pei Shishi aside and explained a few words.
In the evening, all the parents who went out with their children for the holiday received a gift from Xinghai Investment, a travel and shopping fund of 2,000 US dollars per person, which is not much, but it is very heartwarming, and only parents have it.
An employee took a small video and posted it on the Internet, which immediately attracted envy and jealousy.
This welfare treatment is also too good, not only can you take your family to go abroad for vacation, but also send shopping money to the parents of employees, the management of many companies is particularly sour, no matter how rich you are, this is not to give everyone eye medicine!
Ordinary employees are envious and take the initiative to compare the company and welfare benefits with Xinghai Investment.
It turned out that there was no way to compare, and it was not in one dimension at all.
I only hate myself for being blind, I came to this broken company, and I didn't have a chance to jump to Xinghai Investment.
After seeing it, Xiaoma even hung up the phone to Boss Shen and discussed how to improve the happiness and cohesion of employees, because many employees of Penguin were also complaining that their own benefits were not as good as Xinghai Investment.
Although the situation is different, I can't help but envy.
Look at how generous the boss is, in order to do a good job in employee welfare, he also bought a bunch of islands for employees to go abroad for vacation, and he was always envied by others before, and he felt very cool, but now he wants to envy others, how bad he feels.
Xinghai Investment benefits were noisy, but Shen Hui didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, and concentrated on accompanying his wife on vacation on Mokas Island.
Although there is occasional work to be done, it is far less busy than staying in Shanghai.
Most of the time, it is quite leisurely, either take a walk with Huang Peipei, or go to the sea to swim and see the coral reef, or read a book quietly, listen to Huang Peipei and Chen Jiaojiao tease the children, feel that time is quiet, and hope that the years will stop.
Since founding Xinghai Investment, this is Shen Hui's most leisurely days.
If you think about it, you still can't be too busy, and you have to take a vacation from time to time.
For other reasons, there are some things that need to be quieted down and thought about carefully in order to sort out a clear idea.
Being busy all day long, how can I have the time and mind to calm down and think about life and career.
After staying on Mokas Island for half a month, Lu Yunfeng and Du Mingxiang flew over from New York.
After reporting on the recent contact with his Wall Street counterparts, Lu Yunfeng handed over another cooperation plan.
