Chapter 762: Donald's Treasure Trove

The walls were made of unknown metal on all sides, and there were two circular vents twenty centimeters in diameter at the top, which made it completely impossible for a thief to enter through the hole. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After Han Xuan finished talking about Donald's love and curiosity, he walked to the pile of money that was stacked into a pyramid with hundred-dollar bills.

I touched the paper with my hand, it was really money, not a handicraft used for decoration.

"I sold the Hyatt Regency.

It was my most important business, and even though it was difficult in the past few years, I never thought about selling them.

But now, I've decided to put all my energy into the real estate company.

I got $140 million from the sale of a 50% stake in the Hyatt Hotel, and I asked the Hyatt Group for a cash payment.

The money was pulled directly from the Federal Reserve and had never been used in circulation, and the ink smelled so pleasant. ”

Donald reached out and picked up a stack of banknotes, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, looking like he was smoking marijuana, enjoying it.

"When you're done, remember to deposit the money in my East West Bank, and you will pay 1% more interest.

Did the Dubai government tell you about going to Dubai to develop real estate?

I think the real estate industry over there has a good future in the future, you can go to Dubai to stock up on a lot of land, preferably near those landmark buildings that are being developed, the local government has given me a tax reduction policy, and the profit is higher than in the United States. ”

Han Xuan walked to the side of the spiral-shaped tusks that were more than two meters long, the teeth of modern elephants could not be so long, they could only be ancient species.

He asked, "Mammoth tusks? It's a mammoth ivory fossil, right?"

"Yes, the fine mammoth ivory I bought from the auction.

They lived about 11,000 years ago to 3,700 years ago, in Alaska and Siberia, where mammoth carcasses were often found frozen in permafrost and ice.

It takes 25,000 years to become a fossil, and the mammoth tusks are still ivory and have not become fossils.

These big creatures, which can grow to more than ten tons, were still living on the earth in the second millennium BC, but due to human hunting and climate warming, they became extinct. ”

Donald was busy opening the safe, took out documents more than ten centimeters thick, turned around and said: "The ambassador of the United Arab Emirates to the United States came to me some time ago and asked me to invest in Dubai.

They said it was your suggestion and called to ask you but the number didn't work and you were on holiday in the Maldives at the time.

So I sent someone to check the development of the real estate industry in Dubai over the years, where the population is too small, the potential market size is small, and the government allocates welfare housing for Dubai's own residents, is there really a prospect for investment there?"

"The Dubai government's development plan is very interesting, and they are already trying to turn the idea into reality.

Nowadays, the price of land in Dubai is not high, and you can stock up on a batch of land just like you can in New York.

Now that the global economy is recovering, taking advantage of the fact that the price of building materials has not risen, we will first develop some high-end villas and place them there, and then start selling them after the price increases.

I heard that mammoth fossils were everywhere on a small island in the territorial waters of Russia on the coast of the Arctic Ocean, and those fossils were brought out of the mud on the shore when the ice was flowing and piled up on that small island.

In Alaska, people still live in houses made of mammoth ivory.

With the implementation of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora a few years ago, ivory has been banned from circulation in the countries that have signed the treaty, and I think that mammoth ivory will become a substitute for ivory in the future.

There are quite a lot of these things in existence, and I will have someone help me stock up on a batch later, and maybe I can make a small profit when the value appreciates. ”

"Han, no wonder you can make a fortune, with this keen eye for business, it is not something ordinary people can do.

How could they tell from a mammoth tusk that it would increase in value. ”

Donald had already found the information, but seeing that Han Xuan was looking at his many collections, he was not in a hurry to go out.

"A lot of people know.

But they don't have the capital to hoard, and the rich have the capital to realize their business ideas.

So the poor get poorer, and the rich get richer.

The period from poor to multimillionaire is the hardest, and when you have the first $10 million, the rest is much easier.

If you want to become a billionaire, you have to set a small goal and earn 10 million. ”

Donald almost choked to death by these words, the United States has a population of hundreds of millions, and there can be tens of millions of dollars of rich people, how many are there in total?

He said, "This small goal is a little big."

At least 99.99999% of people struggle all their lives and can't finish it, they are not you, Han.

I'm going to set aside about $100 million and invest in Dubai as you ask, and when the board votes, you'll support me, right?"

"Of course, I'm most annoyed by the board of directors as an organization that uses pig-like ideas to veto the right decisions.

In the future, even if my company is listed, it will definitely occupy more than 51% of the voting rights, and no one will want to influence me. ”

Han Xuan is taking advantage of this to complain about the Starbucks board of directors.

Some time ago, in order to discuss the issue of expansion to other countries, he asked Schultz to convene a board meeting on his behalf, but he did not go and discussed it with them by phone.

At the end of March in the United States, in the southern hemisphere, the coffee beans that were planted under contract with local farmers last year are already being harvested.

The production of high-quality coffee is fully supplied, although it is not as good as the new varieties of coffee beans specially cultivated by Starbucks, but due to the special production process, there is no fear that the taste will deteriorate.

But those shareholders think that they should be busy with the domestic market first, and then expand when the market is saturated.

However, there are already companies in other countries that are imitating Starbucks' approach and expanding to seize the market.

Unable to convince those shareholders, Han Xuan directly used the voting rights of the shares in his hand to veto their opinions and forced Schultz to start expanding, and the first stop was Canada, the United Kingdom, and France.

This incident made Han Xuan deeply understand the trouble that the board of directors could cause, and praised the old man for being really prescient.

If it hadn't been listed and its shares had not been sold, maybe SOS Group would not have been the Han family a long time ago......

Walked around the vault and looked at Donald's fine collection.

Han Xuan stopped at a knife holder, and a golden scabbard waist knife with "Tianzi No. 17" and "Proton" written on it attracted his attention.

Han Xuan knew this knife, put on the white gloves placed on the shelf, held the white jade handle and the back of the knife, and turned it over.

The back really reads "Qianlong Year", and the knife body also has an auspicious dragon flying pattern.

In that year, in order to commend the respect of the ancestors, the Qianlong Emperor warned the descendants not to forget the ancestral system and advocate the armed forces, and ordered to cast three series of heaven, earth and man, and the golden peach skin sheath waist knife.

A total of 90 handfuls were manufactured from the thirteenth year of Qianlong and were not finally completed until the sixtieth year of Qianlong.

It was divided into four batches and lasted for 47 years.

Among them, the Tianzi Golden Peach Skin Sheath Waist Knife has produced a total of thirty, from Tianzi No. 1 to Tianzi No. 30.

Most of these things are hidden in the Forbidden City, and I can't imagine that there will be Tianzi knives left outside...... (To be continued.) )
