Chapter 35: Three Chess Sets (I)
Chapter 35: Three Chess Sets (I)
"Hmph!" He Huanyu snorted to express his dissatisfaction, not caring about being angry again, and then asked, "Grandpa, how did you go to the imperial capital this time?"
"Not bad, isn't it? Old man He saw that his grandson was willing to listen, and he was also happy to speak, "Wasn't there a famine in Goryeo last year, and a consul from their consulate general in Hong Kong City contacted me and wanted to import our canned food." Later, we not only provided them with a large number of high-quality canned food, but also helped them get a batch of grain. And so the relationship was established. ”
"Then I heard from the consul over there that their leader, Mr. Yurigin, enacted the Foreign Economic Contract Law in February this year, which was particularly friendly to us foreign businessmen, and there was even news that a number of free economic and trade zones would be opened. The consul felt that we were reliable in many transactions, and thought that we were a very good foreign investor, and hoped that we would consider investing. He also said that this is a rare opportunity that should not be missed. ”
"Grandpa, did you agree?" He Huanyu finally knew what he had always felt was wrong before. If I remember correctly, the early benefits of this investment were very good, but then for some reason something went wrong, and tens of millions of dollars of foreign exchange were wasted. No wonder He Huanyu always felt wrong last time he heard that the consul of the Goryeo consulate was going to meet his grandfather.
"No, I told him I had to think about it and come back. Old Man He replied.
"That's fine. He Huanyu's heart was half relieved.
"However, I think it's an opportunity that shouldn't be missed. Old Man He's next sentence lifted He Huanyu's heart again.
It's an opportunity, but it's a pity that there is a greater danger behind the opportunity.
"Why, don't you think about it anymore?" He Huanyu said stiffly.
"I've thought about it, and the consul is right, opening up the market, opening up the foreign economy, and actively using foreign capital are the national policies that Goryeo is firmly implementing. Under this general trend, the sooner we enter the market, the greater the benefits we will receive. "Old man He is categorical, "The only risk in this matter is political risk, we don't get involved, peace of mind to do our market, as long as this national policy remains unchanged, there will be no major problems in the next few years or even more than ten years." ”
"But......" He Huanyu didn't know what to say.
This is really my grandfather. He Huanyu had a headache. With a clear grasp of the situation, it's no wonder that the business has been able to do so much in ten years. If it weren't for the accident that no one believed, all this development should be as grandpa said, and it would be a sure win.
"What do you want to say?" Old Man He seemed to find his grandson's entanglement, "Straight to say. ”
"Grandpa, I want to ask you. He Huanyu's expression was particularly solemn, "If, I mean, the famine on the Goryeo side has not been improved, for five consecutive years, or even ten years, what will happen?"
"This ...... Think about it. Old Man He found that he really never thought about this problem. After all, no one could have imagined that a country could be in such a dire environment for so many years in a row.
"If this is the case, then they will definitely increase foreign trade and increase imports of grain and agricultural and sideline products. This creates a trade deficit and leads to an outflow of foreign exchange reserves. A long-term trade deficit will inevitably hollow out the country's foreign exchange reserves, and in order to maintain the stability of foreign exchange reserves, attracting investment is bound to be the top priority before there is no way to open up new export projects. When Old Man He said this, he slowed down, took a sip of water from his teacup, and thought about it carefully.
He Huanyu was really convinced, but he didn't expect his grandfather to be clear about this part, you must know that a lot of what he said before was the knowledge he learned in college in his previous life, those unpopular professional terms, in this era, except for professionals, there is really no one who can be clear.
"Since the investment promotion is more important, the interests of foreign investors will definitely be protected in the early stage. So in the short term, there will still be no problems. Old Man He put down the teacup and began to continue his analysis, "But attracting investment does not mean that it is over by letting others invest money in it, he has to do things and have projects." And there is a limit to the number of projects. In a place as big as Goryeo, it is estimated that there will not be too many projects that can be invested. A long-term trade deficit will inevitably lead to a long-term investment attraction. Then when the projects that can be invested are finished, and there are no more projects that can attract funds, the problem probably comes. ”
"When legitimate means do not obtain enough necessities to survive, then improper means come. And the other side is a country and a government, no matter what way, it is not something we can follow. Then the risk of this project is indeed very large, but, Xiaofeng, all of this is based on the assumption you said, I still don't think that in such a big place, the population is only 20 or 30 million, how can the famine last so long?" Old Man He pressed his thumb to his temples and rubbed it gently, obviously this analysis was not easy.
"But, what if?" He Huanyu insisted, "They all say that they are not afraid of 10,000, but they are afraid of what if, if such a situation really happens, will we have no way to get out?"
"Probably so. Old Man He sighed, "If the famine is really so protracted, then even if we want to withdraw at that time, they will not agree." Even if they agree, it is estimated that they will not be able to come up with the money. ”
"That's right. So this matter is too risky, grandpa, do you want to stop thinking about it?" He Huanyu struck while the iron was hot.
"Do you really think that such a terrible thing must happen?" Old Man He, who had personally experienced the famine, naturally knew how terrible the famine was, not to mention this kind of protracted disaster, and the days without hope would make the disaster even more terrifying.
"yes, I dreamed it. He Huanyu had a showdown, "I dreamed that grandpa, you lost a lot of money because of this investment, and you were so angry that you smashed the jade Guanyin at home." ”
He Huanyu is talking about a jade Guanyin enshrined in the central shrine on the third floor of the house. Speaking of Old Man He, this is quite interesting. There is a god of wealth in the company, but there is Guanyin at home, which can be said to be a Buddha and Taoist.
He Huanyu even heard that his grandfather's company in Hong Kong City had personally asked a master named Wang or something to see feng shui.
Tsk, thinking about it this way, my grandfather really didn't refuse to come here.
Old Man He didn't know how He Huanyu slandered himself in his heart, but he remembered He Huanyu's words.
In his dream, it was the second time he had heard such a reason from He Huanyu.
The last time it was on the phone, it was just 500,000, and Hu Lilong was secretly watching, and he gave him 1 million to mess around with He Huanyu, but this time, it was not so simple.
Moreover, in that nonsense, He Huanyu really turned one million into more than two million, which of course has an element of luck, but it is also possible that the dream is true.
If this time is also true, it will not be as simple as a million.
After all, I had planned to invest all the foreign exchange that I had exported in recent years - roughly more than 10 million US dollars. After all, their main business is still in China, and it is not very easy to do foreign trade without international connections. It's hard to catch one, and you naturally have to make a bloody investment.
If he really loses all of them, so much money, even with his He Daoping's size, although it will not hurt his muscles and bones, it is impossible not to hurt his flesh.
Moreover, the loss of foreign exchange also means that it will be more difficult for you to start foreign trade business again.
So, to do or not to do?
Let's do it, they all say that it is better to believe what it has than not to believe it. It's not impossible for this kind of thing to happen. Since it is possible, it is 100% when it happens, regardless of the probability.
Don't do it, it's a pity to miss such a good opportunity, and besides, he has no other good investment projects.
Headaches. For the first time in more than a decade, Old Man He felt so tricky.
"That's good, I'll invest 2 million to try the water, after all, it's also a line that has been built up with great difficulty, and it can't be cut off at once. Old Man He made up his mind and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Two million dollars, how much did you plan to invest before, grandpa?" He Huanyu's eyes rolled, and he was energetic.
"I was going to invest $10 million before, but after thinking about it, the risk you mentioned Xiaofeng said is still real. It's changed to two million, plus there is still a batch of 3 million of our payment over there, which is a lot if you count it together. ”
"So, grandpa, do you still have more than $8 million in hand?" He Huanyu smiled like a little fox who had stolen a chicken.
"Yes, Xiaofeng, what do you want to do when you ask this?" Old Man He glanced at his grandson and asked alertly.
"Hehe, I'm going to go to Hong Kong City and set up an investment company, why don't you invest in me first, grandpa?" He Huanyu leaked his fox tail.
"What do you want foreign exchange from the investment company?" Old man He was not stupid, "Do you want to speculate in currency?"
It is no wonder that Old Man He thinks so, since Thoros's self-measuring fund defeated the Eagle Brother Bank in 92 and grabbed huge profits by shorting the Eagle Pound, there have been countless international currency speculation funds in recent years, and a wave of currency speculation has been set off around the world. And the self-measuring fund headed by Solo is even more of a leader.
"No, grandpa, I didn't plan to touch that in the past two years, I just planned to do futures, just LME copper!" He Huanyu assured with a smile.
"Futures?" Old Man He didn't have time to delve into what He Huanyu said about not touching it in the past two years.
"Yes, I'm going to do that. He Huanyu affirmed.
"No wonder you inquired so actively, and kept persuading me, it turned out that it was this idea. "Old Man He didn't have a good air.
"Hehe, but what I'm saying is also true. He Huanyu laughed twice, "Besides, grandpa, you can also put the rest of your money there, it is better to let me try, maybe I will make a big profit." ”
"How much do you want?" Old Man He didn't bother to talk nonsense, and asked directly.
"$3 million, leave 5 million for grandpa. ”
"No way, I'll give you 1 million at most. Old Man He refused directly without thinking.
"The 1 million is your investment, grandpa, I will give you 10% of the shares, and the remaining 2 million is considered your success by borrowing me?" He Huanyu began to be coquettish.
However, Old Man He didn't buy it, his beard curled, and he said, "Lent it to you, and what else you have to pay back?"
"Grandpa, your words hurt my heart, how can you doubt your lovely grandson's character like this?" He Huanyu threatened to cry.
"If you don't pretend, where is the character of the money fan who charges money for taking a photo?"
……
……
???
Why do you still bring over old accounts?
I don't let people live well!
He Huanyu was angry, but he couldn't refute it, he was really unconvincing in this matter.
Just when He Huanyu was pulling his hair and sighing helplessly, Lu Tenglong came back with two sets of chess.
"Grandpa, grandpa, or else! Let's play chess, as long as I don't lose two of the three games, you can borrow my two million?" He Huanyu's eyes rolled, and it was another plan.
"Two more games, as long as you don't lose one game, you win, and I'll lend you the money!" Old man He was magnificent, and with a wave of his hand, he set the tone.
"Hehe, grandpa, you said it yourself, don't regret it!"
