Chapter 122: The First Business Direction
readx;? Under the impact of the economic crisis, Mexico has no room for investment, which is the view of most people on Mexican companies at that time, so that countless international capital fled Mexico, and even Mexicans themselves see it this way, so at that time, President González planned the reform of state-owned enterprises, and the stock price of state-owned enterprises has been reduced to a very low level, but still no one cares. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But then I knew that this was not the case, that it was only the financial and foreign exchange system of Mexico that collapsed at that time, that the essence of all industries had not changed, that the buildings of the real estate companies would not collapse because of the depreciation of the pesos, that the mines of the mining companies would not be depleted because of the collapse of the companies, and that the equipment in the factories would not be destroyed because of this, they were still real.
So I think they're still there, they're just grossly undervalued, and I think it's the same as stocks, when everybody says hello, you're only worth $100, but somebody is willing to pay $200 or $300 to buy it, and now when everybody says you're bad, the same thing, the same $100 is worth $50 or $40.
It's very bad, but at the same time it's a huge and challenging business opportunity, because at that time people all over the world are full of misunderstandings about Mexico, they have always been hiding behind computers and speculating about things based on piles of useless numbers, they have never really understood Mexico, they have known all the businesses here, and obviously there is something wrong with it!
But what's worse is that we Mexicans ourselves are convinced of this, and I happened to see this business opportunity at that time, and I believed that Mexico would shine again, and I happened to have some money in my hands, so I bought these companies, and I was very lucky, and the end result turned out to be right, so I deserved to be the richest man in the world.
......
This is what a businessman from Mexico said in front of the media after becoming the richest man in the world, because this is the first richest man in the world from an underdeveloped country, it caused a sensation all over the world at that time, so Zhou Ming, who is used to paying attention to current affairs, also paid attention to it by the way.
Zhou Ming's attention at that time was only because of a momentary curiosity, and he would never have thought that it would be useful one day, because the businessman also said in the interview that the most successful investment he made at that time was the Mexican National Telecom project.
Zhou Ming even remembers some details he found on the Internet at that time, that is, the Mexican president's state-owned enterprise reform plan, he announced the sale of the shares of Mexican national telecommunications, and the richest man bought 20% of the shares of national telecommunications, and got the Mexican government promised him a monopoly position in the telecommunications industry for seven years, and he also entered the international market, and finally became the richest man in the world.
Janice looked at Zhou Ming suspiciously: "Did I say something wrong, why do you have such an expression, Mr. Zhou Ming?"
Zhou Ming shook his head and said that it was nothing, how could he have thought that there was such a thing? Originally, these messages were just memory fragments that he threw in the corner, but he didn't expect that now they would appear in front of him in such a grand manner, at this time Zhou Ming really wanted to shout that it was great to be reborn!
However, Zhou Ming thought of another question: "It's just that the news that the Presidential Palace is going to sell the state telecommunications is just right for you to tell me directly, is it okay? Isn't this a leak?"
Zhou Ming can't help but ask, after all, this is the reform of state-owned enterprises, which involves too much content, even if it is a situation like the former Soviet Union, which almost collapsed, the government still knows that it must keep all the information about the sale of national assets, and how many capitalists spend a lot of money just to dig up such a little wind from the government. But now, Janice just said it so casually?
This is too casual, either Janice has no sense of secrecy at all, if so, then Zhou Ming will have to reconsider her positioning and the news she can know. It's just that Janice's answer then surprised Zhou Ming a little.
"I don't understand why you think that, Mr. Zhou Ming, because it's not a secret at all, okay?"
Janice told Zhou Ming: "This is what my father told me, he said that the news has been released by the presidential palace, and many consortia have received the news, but there seems to be no movement, so my father also asked me to ask my classmates, is there anyone else who is interested in the shares of National Telecom, if I go back and tell my father Mr. Zhou Ming that you want to buy the shares of National Telecom, it will be too late for him to be happy!"
Janice's answer was completely unexpected by Zhou Ming, but at the same time, it also made Zhou Ming suspicious, after all, this is the time to rob national assets, no matter how bad Mexico's current economic situation is, no one is involved in the robbery, which is obviously unreasonable.
In other words, to put it more simply, someone is deliberately manipulating all this behind the scenes, creating a false impression that no one has claimed the country's assets, so as to lower the purchase price even more; this kind of thing is not too common in corporate mergers and acquisitions, as a person who started in finance and is still studying economics at Harvard, Zhou Ming can naturally see through it at a glance, as for the person who is manipulating behind the scenes, it is obvious.
Then Janice seemed to remember something and said: "By the way, my father also said that if no one or company wants to buy the shares of National Telecom in the near future, then the presidential palace will start a bidding campaign for share subscription, and some financial companies in Mexico or powerful individuals and foreign consortiums will be forced to participate in the bidding." ”
"If that's the case, I think Janice you can go back and tell your father that I, Zhou Ming, am willing to buy the shares of National Telecom. Zhou Ming immediately said.
This made Janice's eyes widen suddenly: "Is this true? Mr. Zhou Ming, you really decided to buy the shares of National Telecom? You can't lie to me, right?"
Zhou Ming told her very seriously: "Of course this is true, I am sure and sure to tell you that I will buy it!"
Just kidding, such a clear way to get rich is in front of him, if he doesn't catch it, he will be too sorry for his IQ, as for the wealth he already has, Zhou Ming would not have thought that his wealth was too much, but now after knowing how the church uses wealth to dominate the world behind it, he can't let go of any bit of wealth, otherwise how can he break the order and become a real world giant?
"That's great! I'm sure my father will be very happy!"
Janice shouted very happily, but then she became puzzled: "But the national telecommunications company manages the entire Internet industry in Mexico, even if it only sells part of its shares, it still requires a huge budget, even Bankman Bank may not be able to come up with this money so easily, Mr. Zhou Ming, can you take it out?"
Zhou Ming smiled very proudly at this and told her: "Don't worry, I'm poor now, and I only have money left!"
......
Zhou Ming and Janice's companionship is over here, first of all, it's time to send Janice back at night, and this time it's enough to get such important information from Janice, then I only need to copy the history of the world's richest man in Mexico.
In addition, Zhou Ming also sent Janice home in person very gentlemanly, on the one hand, he was worried that she would have an accident, and on the other hand, Zhou Ming also wanted to make sure that she was really the daughter of the Commissioner of the Financial Commissioner.
Of course, the final result was still very happy, and there was no turning point, and it was precisely because of this that after sending Janice away, Zhou Ming dialed the phone of Mexican President Gonzalez.
"Mr. President, I'm sorry to disturb your dinner, but I have a very important thing to tell you, about the industry I first invested in, that is, the upcoming sale of Mexican National Telecom, I think this is not beyond the scope of business you have delineated for me, right?
Gonzalez didn't reply immediately, obviously a little unprepared for Zhou Ming's straightforwardness.
It wasn't until a long time later that he replied: "In principle, I agree very much, after all, the sale of the shares of the Mexican National Telecom is only the first step in the reform of our state-owned enterprises, and I need to set an example, but I cannot sell them all, I will only sell ten percent of the shares at most, so as to ensure that the National Telecom can still operate stably after the sale." ”
"10 percent of the shares? I'm sorry I don't accept it, because in my opinion, if you can't get the right to speak in the national telecom, it's no different from sending money to charity, and I don't like charity. Zhou Ming then added, "In addition, since I saved Mexican Telecom, then I still need at least ten years of telecom monopoly!"
"This can't be!" Gonzalez directly rejected Zhou Ming's proposal, "What Mexico needs in the future is a free commercial market, and I can't allow any monopoly industry to emerge!"
Gonzalez's refusal was righteous, but Zhou Ming noticed another question: "So did Mr. President agree to sell me more shares?"
Gonzalez didn't expect Zhou Ming to notice such a tricky angle, so he was stunned, but before he could react, Zhou Ming then said: "I am a businessman, and I am also very supportive of the free market, but as far as the current situation in Mexico is concerned, in addition to the national telecom, is there any other telecommunications company here? Therefore, there is no contradiction between obtaining the right to speak in the national telecommunications company and monopolizing the market." ”
Zhou Ming then said: "Of course, the Mexican government can also support or support other small telecommunications companies to compete with me, but I don't think it will be possible to surpass it in a short period of time, right?
Zhou Ming finally said: "But I also understand Mr. Gonzalez's situation, you don't have the final say, so maybe you can ask other people......"
What Zhou Ming said is indeed right, Gonzalez himself has no way to make a decision, he needs a 'permission', and the only one who can give this 'permission' is the Marlon faction's Patriarch Brando.
