Chapter 916: Where is Hu Wenhai
The collection of information on China by European and American financial institutions is obviously beyond the imagination of ordinary Chinese.
As the saying goes, anything can be fake, but the flow of money is not deceiving. When Europe and the United States shouted "China's collapse", a large amount of money poured into China. Is it normal for China, as the world's factory, to shut down but the stock market to react despite the pandemic, and even though China has been shut down due to the pandemic, the global stock market has not been affected?
Lehman Brothers has a special department that keeps an eye on China's major TV stations, and that's not something to make a fuss about.
However, no one thought that the biggest obstacle in the face of Lehman Brothers' profit of two billion would be solved in this way.
"The city of Wenchang in Hainan province today signed an investment agreement with ST Group, and the city of Wenchang approved a piece of land for the construction of the Wenchang Space Center. This is a ...... for launching low-earth orbit Space Station?'s Space Center?"
The young man in charge of the translation seemed to be in disbelief at what he had read out, and subconsciously shook his head.
"The Chinese media rarely report on Hu Wenhai's whereabouts and news, and this obvious high-profile appearance will certainly not be simple. ”
"What's the problem here?" Fulton looked approachable at this time, patted the young man who had just joined the work on the shoulder enthusiastically, and said encouragingly: "This ...... The space station, and the space center, what are they? Do you know anything about that?"
Fulton is the president of the investment company, and the words of the space station and the space center are certainly recognized, and can understand what is being said. But in his opinion, this is nothing more than an inexplicable business project, and he does not understand why this young man has such a reaction.
"Mr. President, there is only one space station in the world, no, maybe the whole universe, and that is the Soviet Union's Mir. ”
Xiao Young pushed the glasses on his nose and said seriously: "I graduated from MIT with a major in aerospace, the construction and maintenance of the space station is a very expensive thing, and at present, only the United States and the Soviet Union have this ability in the world, and now, the Soviet Union is finished." Things are going bad for Mir right now because of his lack of maintenance. Even if Hu Wenhai has money, the Mir is just a face-saving project of the Soviet Union, and the input will not produce much. ”
"Even people with no financial knowledge know that there's no money to be made from investing in the space station. ”
Fulton's face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "This is not right, you said that Hu Wenhai has no financial common sense?!"
So what are we? Are single-celled animals? Also, this kid turned out to be an MIT aerospace major? Did you know that there is a professor at MIT in China who is known as the death of the fifth division? Students who come out of this kind of school graduate and run to Lehman Brothers to work as Chinese translators? There must be something wrong with this world!
"I ...... I didn't mean that, I mean, there must be a conspiracy in there!"
"It's certain that the space station doesn't make money, but since Hu Wenhai invested in Mir, there must be a problem!"
"Yes, there must be a problem here. ”
Fulton's brow furrowed, and a room full of Lehman Brothers executives frowned.
"Anyway, at least we know Hu Wenhai's situation now. ”
CFO Karan said: "He's focused on the space industry, which should be a good thing for us, right?"
"How much does it cost to build this space center that Hu Wenhai is building every year?"
Fulton turned his head to look at the young man in Massachusetts, Hu Wenhai has a big family after all, maybe this is a toy? If he is only responsible for throwing money in, he will still have the energy to make trouble for them.
In fact, there is no one who is not cautious when Wall Street enters China today, and who allows such a great god to sit in China?
Wall Street predators have gone to China, and if Hu Wenhai crooks his mouth a little, his project will be wiped out.
However, this kind of disaster cannot be reflected in the figures, is it possible to list a separate impact factor in the investment plan, and it is written on it "Hu Wenhai parameters"? This is not a law at all, and it cannot be prevented, dealt with, or managed well?
With this kind of uncertain environment, it is too unfriendly to Wall Street's investment model. But to say that to abandon China's domestic market, this is unacceptable.
In the future, there may be trillions of profit figures, which can allow human beings to use all their ingenuity to solve all difficult problems.
As long as Hu Wenhai's situation can be figured out, Lehman Brothers will be invincible on Wall Street!
The young man in Massachusetts thought for a while and replied to Fulton: "The Soviet Union has never disclosed the budget for Mir, but referring to the International Space Station we are building, if it is only maintenance, the cost is at least 200 million US dollars per year. However, if all Chinese resources are used, they can be settled in yuan. ”
"That's not enough!"
Fulton knew the situation of Xinke well, and said categorically: "200 million US dollars, can it be settled in RMB? This amount of money is nothing to Xinke." Why did Hu Wenhai suddenly engage in aerospace, this is something we must understand!"
COO Gregory looked at it and said with a sigh of relief: "But it's a good thing that Hu Wenhai is interested in aerospace, as long as he doesn't step into the financial industry anymore, he can do whatever he wants!"
Throughout the 80s, all Wall Street investors who came from the 80s did not tremble in the shadow of Hu Wenhai!
"We should find a way to keep him from having the energy to focus on the financial sector. ”
"Yes, so that we can enter China with peace of mind!"
"I thought maybe I could ask NASA about it. ”
"Okay, let's go ask NASA!"
"Not only NASA, but the Intelligence Agency may also have clues, and we can also learn about their situation through Russian relations. ”
"If Hu Wenhai wants to take over the Mir, Russia is an unavoidable obstacle. Whether it is the ownership of Mir or the aerospace talents of the former Soviet Union, Russia has enough influence. ”
"But Russia has not been obedient lately!"
"In order to contain the East Soviet Union, they have tasted a lot of sweetness recently, and they are not as easy to control as in the past. ”
"This polar bear, I'm afraid I've forgotten who is his master!" In the office, many people gritted their teeth at this.
Fulton doesn't know much about the aerospace industry, and in fact, Wall Street probably can't find many people who have an in-depth understanding of this kind of money-losing industry. But the good thing is that Wall Street always has a way of finding people who know it well.
In fact, when the Wenchang Launch Center surfaced, NASA quickly got the news.
In recent years, NASA has not had such a good time. The reason is also simple, no fox, of course, no need to have a dog.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia did not pose a threat at all in the field of space, the United States did not need to engage in space competition, and NASA, a pure scientific research institution, did not have a strong spokesperson.
Seeing that Congress is planning to use NASA, such a piece of news suddenly came out at this time, and NASA is like a treasure.
"We believe that China's pursuit of the Mir space station cannot be taken lightly, which may be a sign of their ambitions to explore space. ”
"Yes, this is clearly a threat to our ISS and cannot be ignored. ”
NASA is currently in the process of laying off at least one-tenth of its workforce, or even more than 3,000 if necessary, due to funding problems.
Robert Lightford, as the director of NASA, has been under pressure recently.
"We can't underestimate the Chinese Hu, if he enters the aerospace field, the thickness of the capital will bring us a lot of trouble. ”
There was not only one person on the phone who came to ask him about the situation, but more people were still waiting to call him, hoping to find out from his mouth why Hu Wenhai entered the aerospace industry.
The question that everyone is most interested in is, "Is it really profitable to invest in a space station?".
On this topic, Robert Wrightford certainly did not dare to say that he would definitely make money, but the skill of playing blurred eyes is used all over the world.
The easiest way to do this is to highlight the threat that Hu Wenhai can pose in the industry.
The story of the wolf coming is not only told by Chinese.
"I must say that although the return period of investing in space is relatively long, it is an investment in our future, and we should not focus too much on the present. I think that with the status of Hu in China, his thoughts should be the same. ”
"As for the importance that China Hu attaches to this......"
"Dear friend, it doesn't matter. If you were to chase a girl, and you could catch it quickly, easily, how much effort would you put into it, but what if the girl was hard to chase? What if someone was competing with you for the girl's attention?"
"Understood? Even if Hu Wenhai doesn't pay much attention to it now, we can make him pay attention to it. ”
"We need to give him this fire and add some fuel. ”
"We need to let him know that this girl is not so easy to chase. ”
"What's more, she is still the only great beauty in the whole universe!"
