Chapter 0332 is quite a face-showing thing

At Del Ford's insistence, Gu Yu finally took a step back, but instead of giving Del Ford a stake in the foundation, he asked Del Ford for $100 million as a reward.

Del Ford was very grateful to Gu Yu for this choice and courtesy, and without saying a word, he injected $100 million into Gu Yu's account. Although the Foundation's strength has been damaged by the investigation by the FBI and then the Senators, it is not difficult for Del Ford to come up with $100 million.

Gu Yu invited Del Ford and Thomson Jason to sit down with them and talk. Gu Yu's main problem is one, that is, how to maintain and increase the value of so much cash in his hands. You must know that Gu Yu originally had billions of dollars in assets in his hands before he went abroad this time, and later, when he was in JND, he forced the organization "Science Dominates Everything" to bow to him, lost him 4.5 billion US dollars, and then sold an oil field, making a full 156 billion US dollars.

Today, on the bright side, Gu Yu has more than $160 billion in assets, almost twice the wealth of Mr. Gates, and if you count the more than 2,000 tons of gold he stored in the system warehouse, as well as the oil fields controlled by Alexander, the total assets will more than quadruple.

Gold and oil fields can be left alone for the time being, but the $160 billion cannot be left alone, and it is an inevitable choice to maintain and increase its value. The amount of money is too large, no matter what field it is invested in, it can be said to be a disaster for that field, and it is easy to bring down this field.

Thomson Jason and Del Ford are both good players in the field of financial investment, and they can be regarded as Gu Yu's friends, so it is naturally a good thing to consult them.

Thomson Jason and Del Ford both scratched their heads a little about Gu Yu's question, and Gu Yu really gave them a problem. Some people may not have a clear concept of $160 billion, but they know very well what a huge number it is, you must know that the world-famous sportswear brand NIKE, its total market value is less than $97 billion, McDonald's total market value is only more than $106 billion, and Intel's market value is only more than $170 billion.

In other words, the cash Gu Yu has can almost buy Intel. Or with a little more money, you can buy both McDonald's and Nike.

Both of them have a lot of experience in financial investment, but they generally play tens of millions of dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars, billions of dollars, or billions of dollars, and they don't even have tens of billions of dollars of investment.

Thomson Jason and Del Ford knew it was an opportunity for them. If you can help Gu Yu do this well, there will be nothing that can stump them in the field of financial investment in the world in the future. But how difficult is it to get this thing right?

Gu Yu found that such a proposition seemed to be a little too difficult for them, he thought about it and decided to reduce the difficulty, he changed the proposition, that is, if they were given two tens of billions of dollars each, how to maintain and increase the value of these two hundred billion dollars.

$20 billion is still challenging for Thomson Jason and Del Ford, but it is not beyond their capabilities. You must know that the wealth of their foundations is more than this amount, but the money comes from a variety of sources, not as simple as these two billion dollars.

The two asked Gu Yu to give them a little time, and they wanted to mobilize their team to formulate a detailed investment plan for Gu Yu's $20 billion, so that the $20 billion could beat inflation and be fully prepared to maintain and increase the value of Gu Yu's wealth.

After sending the two of them away, Gu Yu shook his head again and again, even if he gave these two people 20 billion each, he still had almost 120 billion, which was still an extremely large amount of money. Is he going to buy mines, oil fields, or real estate development in China?

Buying a company, Gu Yu has no interest. A company has its fixed culture, as an outsider, even if he is a strong entry, it is quite difficult to play with the company, especially foreign companies, whose culture, law, social customs and other aspects are very different from those in China, and it is even more difficult to play. Rather than buying a company, he prefers to spend some time building a new company from start to finish, so that everything about this new company is in his hands, and there is a lot less trouble.

It's not impossible to buy mines and oil fields, but his original intention has never been to be a resource tycoon, doing this, you can make money, but you can't earn too much prestige, and more importantly, the mineral veins and oil fields that are easy to find in the world today are almost all owned by the owner, even if Gu Yu is rich, he may not be able to pull teeth from their mouths, and those mines and oil fields that are not easy to find, he can buy them occasionally, if he keeps buying, and every time he buys something, he can dig out something, that is the way to take trouble. Gu Yu believed that nine out of ten mining companies in the world would not mind paying a high price to hire mercenaries to hunt him down.

So in this regard, Gu Yu can do it, but he can't get involved too deeply, and it is best to learn from other mining resource tycoons, and what he does is to join forces with others, according to the jargon, it is beneficial for everyone to earn together, and there are risks, and everyone bears them together.

As long as you engage in real estate, this industry is very interesting in China and some countries, but this industry is too scolding, and it does not have much benefit to Gu Yu's image. It's not impossible to do it, but it can't be too much fanfare, and it's best to get an agent to do it. In addition, even the investment in this industry does not account for a few dollars, and if you invest two or three billion US dollars, you will be able to have a place in the ranks of domestic real estate developers. This does not help much to consume such a huge amount of money as Gu Yu.

Gu Yu calculated and found that even if he did something about this and that, in the end, he would still have at least eight or nine billion dollars and nowhere to go. It stands to reason that if you do high-tech, no matter how much money you have, you can always consume it if you smash it hard in scientific research, but the problem is that Gu Yu doesn't need to engage in scientific research at all, he only needs to find ways to get more prestige points, and he has everything, which is equivalent to only getting in and not leaving, in this way, the money in his hand will only increase, and now this 160 billion US dollars seems to be a trouble, but I believe that in the near future, he may have several, or even a dozen 160 billion US dollars to deal with, at that time, it will give him even more headaches.

Gu Yu thought about it, so he called Wang Limin and told Wang Limin about his troubles. Wang Limin smiled bitterly, he is a vice minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he is not engaged in investment, isn't Gu Yu embarrassed for him? Maybe not only is it difficult for him, but he is still showing off to him, after all, this kind of distress is counted all over the world, and only a very small part of it will be there, and he Wang Limin will not be able to save luck for several lifetimes.

However, Wang Limin is still very pleased that Gu Yu can think of asking him for advice on this kind of thing, which shows that Gu Yu has not forgotten his roots, has not been carried away, and is still a pure heart, which is definitely a good thing for him to Huaxia.

Wang Limin calmed down and began to ask Gu Yu some questions, mainly to see how much money Gu Yu still had to deal with, and what he wanted to achieve with the money that could be used.

Gu Yu still kept a hand on Wang Limin, but said that he still had about 80 billion US dollars and could not find the direction and channel of investment, and he had only one requirement for this money, that is, to maintain and increase its value, at least not lower than the inflation rate.

Even if Gu Yu kept a hand, Wang Limin was still shocked, he knew that Gu Yu had made more than 100 billion US dollars by selling oil fields, and he thought that Gu Yu had arranged a provenance for this money, such as buying companies everywhere to play, or squandering it, buying private jets, yachts, luxury estates, NBA teams or something, or getting dozens of women by his side, living a life of paper obsession and drunkenness every day, but he didn't expect Gu Yu to save such a large amount of money.

Wang Limin didn't ask how Gu Yu arranged the money other than $80 billion, he just told Gu Yu his opinion.

His opinions are mainly divided into three points, the first is to suggest that Gu Yu set up a charitable foundation to provide charitable help to groups in need at home and abroad. This is very good for establishing the image of Gu Yu and changing those who live in poverty because of lack of funds, and it is a great thing to accumulate virtue.

And Gu Yu has so much money, he can completely not accept donations from others and only use his own money for charity, which can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles and make his reputation for charity more pure.

Of course, it is not easy to do charity, there are a lot of rights and wrongs, even if Gu Yu only uses his own money, it does not mean that there is no risk, and Gu Yu needs to control it himself.

In addition, there is one of the biggest drawbacks of doing charity, that is, this matter is purely to lose money, and it is wishful thinking to maintain and increase the value through this matter.

The second is to do education. Many places in the world are still very poor, including in China, Gu Yu can choose to invest some funds in some basic education in the country and even the world, which is also a matter of accumulating virtue and goodness, and it is also very helpful to enhance Gu Yu's reputation.

In addition, education can also be very profitable, even if it is to engage in some aristocratic education, it doesn't matter, in this regard, ordinary people will not scold.

In this industry, if it is done well, it is still possible to maintain and increase its value, even if it is to make money, it is not impossible. There are many private schools in China, such as New Oriental or something, which are very profitable.

The third is to support infrastructure construction. There are many infrastructure projects in China that are actually very short of money, and Gu Yu is still very interested if he is willing to join them in the form of low-interest loans or shares. Of course, if Gu Yu wants to save trouble, he can directly buy treasury bonds. He has so much money that he has nowhere to spend, and I believe that if the relevant state departments knew about it, they would be happy to issue a treasury bond specifically for him, and the interest rate may not be too high, but it is still no problem if it is slightly higher than the inflation rate.

Wang Limin's words gave Gu Yu a great inspiration, and he immediately said that he wanted to ask Wang Limin to help contact the relevant domestic departments, and he planned to buy $50 billion in treasury bonds at one time. Interest is negotiable, only 5 thousandths higher than the inflation rate.

Wang Limin didn't expect Gu Yu's decision to be so fast, he really followed his suggestion and took out so much money to buy treasury bonds, if the Minister of Finance knew about it, it was estimated that he would be able to sleep well at night.

Hanging up the phone, Gu Yu began to lay out a detailed plan.

He already has a relatively systematic plan for the $160 billion, of which $40 billion, he plans to hand over to Thomson Jason and Del Ford respectively, and let their foundations help him take care of it.

In addition, $50 billion is used to buy treasury bonds, and this aspect is to maintain and increase the value of the plan. Not to make money, but to support domestic construction.

As a result, Gu Yu still has $70 billion left. Then take out 20 billion US dollars from it to make various investments, such as mines, oil fields, real estate, etc., and do it, which is to undertake the great task of making money, and is the main force in maintaining and increasing the value of this asset.

In the end, Gu Yu plans to do some things that seem to some people to be purely thankless, such as the Hope Project, the Mother's Water Cellar Project, helping trafficked children find their relatives, etc., in addition to supporting the poor, the disabled, widows and lonely and other vulnerable groups, and helping those suffering from serious diseases but lacking economic strength.

In addition, Gu Yu plans to do some work in the protection of cultural relics, rare animals and plants, animal welfare, and environmental protection. For example, animal protection organizations that always like to fight against the whaling ships of country R with their mantis arms as a car on the vast sea, and there is no problem in assisting them with two or three large-tonnage ships.

Don't look at these things, don't make money, but earn prestige, what Gu Yu needs most now is not money, but prestige, he earns enough money, but prestige, he will never be too much.

Of course, it is impossible for Gu Yu to do these things by himself, he can only find suitable subordinates to do this, so he called Xu Xiaoqing and told Xu Xiaoqing about his arrangements, so Xu Xiaoqing began to recruit volunteers or collaborators around the world in his name.

Xu Xiaoqing received this call, and immediately felt a headache, the big boss of her own family really remembered that it was a place, this time it was clear that there was more money to bite the hand, and she wanted to take a full 50 billion US dollars and throw it into these fire pits where the dead could not pay for their lives, she couldn't figure out what the big boss's head thought, why he was keen to do these things, this is not something that a mature businessman should consider.

Look at Mr. Gates, there is a charitable foundation under his name, but people will not say that they will take 50 billion dollars to smash it into these little returns. And what Mr. Gates does, he is very restrained, for example, Mr. Gates once gave 50,000 US dollars as a reward in order to let scientists research a new type of ultra-thin ***. Is $50,000 still a problem for Mr. Gates? But people just give out $50,000, which is a model of careful budgeting.

In the face of Xu Xiaoqing's complaints, Gu Yu still patiently made some explanations. He told Xu Xiaoqing that he did not mean that he wanted to spend all the $50 billion on one thing, but that he wanted to be careful and achieve the purpose of spending a small amount of money to do big things and gain fame. He doesn't know what he can do for a hundred dollars, but he has to spend a thousand dollars to do it.

We must do a good job in the charter, and we will also do a good job in auditing and accounting, and we can't spend money indiscriminately. As for spending $50 billion on these charitable and public welfare undertakings, is it too wasteful? The explanation given by Gu Yu is that as a member of the human race, he is now able to take out some funds, and he is naturally willing to take out some funds to do his part for a better future for mankind, and he believes that Xu Xiaoqing will definitely be extremely happy to help him achieve this goal.

The big boss brought her such a high hat, which made Xu Xiaoqing a little speechless, so she could only follow Gu Yu's instructions and issue an announcement to the world, calling on people of insight from all over the world to rush to Zishan City to conduct interviews, apply for jobs, and help Gu Yu achieve this great goal together.

Not to mention, as soon as this announcement was issued, it caused a huge sensation all over the world, countless people rushed to Purple Mountain City, wanting to get some benefits from it, they may really need Gu Yu's help, or they may really need financial support, but there are also more people who want to get benefits from it, and there are many scammers mixed in.

Gu Yu had expected this, he asked Xu Xiaoqing to register all visitors in detail, and make electronic documents to pass to him, and then, Gu Yu will input these electronic documents into the intermediate information processor, and search and verify the authenticity of these documents. Even among these people, a number of internationally wanted criminals were found in the intermediate-level information processor.

Gu Yu was naturally unceremonious to these scammers, he directly transmitted the search results to the hands of the municipal party committee, the secretary, and asked him to transmit the results to the relevant departments to arrest these scammers and internationally wanted criminals.

For a time, the prison in Purple Mountain City was overcrowded, and not only did the city not worry, but on the contrary, it happily arrested so many liars and wanted criminals, which was also quite a shameful thing.
