Chapter 25: I want to borrow money

Since he had already greeted Yu Qiuxuan in advance, when Fang Mingyuan and the others returned to the Guo family's mansion in Repulse Bay, Guo Dongcheng was already waiting for him in the living room. However, Fang Mingyuan put forward a request to go to Guanhaiting for talks. Guo Dongcheng naturally would not refuse him.

Although the temperature in Hong Kong in winter is much milder than in the north, the temperature often drops to more than 10 degrees after a gust of wind and rain, and the air rises back to more than 20 degrees after two days of warm sunshine. Fang Mingyuan noticed that the pavilion had been transformed into a glass house, with thick glass blocking out the cold and wet sea breeze. In the pavilion. There are also two portable electric heaters that make it warm and spring-like.

"Grandpa Guo, I came to Hong Kong this time to borrow money from you!" After some greetings, Fang Mingyuan went straight to the point and explained his intention to Guo Dongcheng straightforwardly.

Guo Dongcheng narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Mingyuan." How much do you plan to borrow? Fang Mingyuan's request did not surprise him. This kid suddenly ran back to Hong Kong and was so desperate to see him. Something big must have happened. is a bad old man, there are only so many things that can help him, and borrowing money is naturally one of the easiest reasons to think of.

In the past year, Guo Dongcheng has undoubtedly had a better understanding of Fang Mingyuan's business talent, not to mention the dazzling achievements he has achieved in Japan, not to mention his rapid commercial expansion in Qinxi Province, as long as you look at the scripts he left to his daughter-in-law, as well as the huge box office achieved by Cheng Long's "Double Dragon Club" in Hong Kong and Southeast Asian markets, people have to admire the hero out of a teenager! Although Yu Qiuxuan has not officially stepped into the Hong Kong film industry, her influence is already extraordinary. Those Hong Kong film companies, I don't know how many people want to get more new movie scripts from her. If she is not the daughter-in-law of the Guo family and the eldest daughter of the Yu family, I am afraid that the threat of force will be staged. If the Guo family can form an alliance with the Fang family, it is undoubtedly a broad road to obtain stable income outside the shipping industry, so that even if there is a surge in the shipping industry, it will not make the Guo family hurt. There is still capital for a comeback!

Guo Dongcheng has thought more than once in this year, why doesn't he have a daughter or granddaughter of the right age, otherwise he would have to tie Fang Mingyuan to the Guo family's chariot! In that case, even if he retires or even dies in the future, the future of the Guo family is enough to reassure him.

"How much can you borrow, how much I want in Beijing, and the loan period is three months to half a year!" Fang Mingyuan said without hesitation. Guo Dongcheng couldn't help but be a little surprised. He looked at Fang Mingyuan to make sure he had heard something wrong.

"I want as much as you can borrow, and the borrowing period will take up months to half a year!" Fang Mingyuan repeated again, "I can give you thirty percent of the principal interest!" ”

Guo Dongcheng was really moved this time. At most, half a car time, 30% of the profit. Fang Mingyuan's conditions are not rich! And more importantly, what Fang Mingyuan said, "I want as much as you can borrow"!

The same amount of money, a few hundred yuan, in half a year, it is a few times, and there is nothing to be surprised about, but since Fang Mingyuan opened his mouth to himself, the money he borrowed was hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Let a huge amount of money of hundreds of millions or even billions or billions increase by 30% in half a year, such a huge return is enough to make any company on Shijie tempted. And since Fang Mingyuan dared to promise himself a thirty percent interest, the return he obtained was bound to be even more amazing! What kind of opportunity is this? However, after all, he has been through the storm for a long time, although he has felt extremely shocked in his heart. But soon calm returned.

"How sure are you?" Guo Dongcheng asked lightly, "What else do you need me to cooperate with besides money?" ”

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart. If this is to be replaced by ordinary people, the first reaction must be unbelievable, and then I am afraid that I will have to keep asking the bottom of it.

"In addition to the fact that I am not completely sure of the time, I am 90% sure. I also need you to provide me with a place to operate and people who are proficient in oil futures! ”

"Ninety percent sure?" Guo Dongcheng was taken aback and couldn't help but blurt out. You must know that business operations are ever-changing. Before the success of attaining zuihou. No one dares to make a 100% promise. Under normal circumstances, there can be a six or seven percent certainty. It was enough for the company's decision-makers to initiate this. If you can say that you can be 90% sure before you can implement it. That's no different from making a profit.

"Ninety percent sure!" Fang Mingyuan repeated categorically. Maybe the Iraqi invasion of Kowiko will be delayed, maybe the US response will be half a beat slower, but as long as the Iraqi-Kuwaito negotiations are not successful, then the sea

Dirty play: It's only a matter of time before the discussion starts. But is it a matter of great disagreement for Iko to talk about a thousand punishments?

Guo Dongcheng took a few long breaths, stood up, opened the glass door facing the sea, and immediately blew in with a bit of humid sea breeze, which calmed him down. He understood. Fang Mingyuan is obviously planning to operate something on oil futures, could it be that in the near future, Shijie may have an oil crisis? Although Guo Dongcheng does not have much intersection with crude oil except for transporting crude oil. But this does not mean that he does not understand the impact of the fluctuation of crude oil prices on the Shijie economy.

If Fang Mingyuan found something that was enough to cause the price of Shijie crude oil to fluctuate sharply. It is not surprising that he can make excess profits in the crude oil futures market, so it is not surprising that he has returned 30% in half a year.

"Mingyuan. You made me think about it. Guo Dongcheng walked outside the pavilion and leaned on the fence on the edge of the cliff. Looking out over the endless sea. And in his head. I am thinking about what can have a significant impact on the market price of Shijie crude oil in the last six periods. A fledgling young man can notice, and with such a strong confidence, he can be regarded as an old man who has been in the mall for decades, now that he has been reminded, if he can't think of the ins and outs of the matter, wouldn't it be too embarrassing. Guo Dongcheng believes that with his own eyes and mind, he will eventually be able to find some clues.

Fang Mingyuan didn't urge him, he understood. This will be a decision involving hundreds of millions or even billions of Hong Kong dollars. Guo Dongcheng is not the kind of officials in China who pat their heads and make decisions, and in such a short period of time, he will never make up his mind immediately. "Grandpa Guo, this matter is very important, whether you end up borrowing or not. Please keep your mouth shut for me for the time being. I stayed in Hong Kong for three days and then went to Japan. Grandpa Guo

Guo Dongcheng suddenly turned his head and said solemnly: "Mingyuan, don't worry, I will definitely borrow you." Grandpa will give you a stack of words first, no matter what the outcome of my consideration is in the end. I will lend you 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

And the crude oil futures talents you need to play, grandpa will also prepare for you as soon as possible. What Grandpa needs to think about now is how to maximize this opportunity! In less than three days, I will give you a clear answer by tomorrow morning at the latest! ”

Fang Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, 500 million Hong Kong dollars, which is also a considerable amount of money. But what touched him even more was Guo Lecheng's trust in his judgment ability. Clearly, Guo Dongcheng already believes that he has the ability to profit from it. This kind of trust is more than that 500 million Hong Kong dollars. It is even more important to Fang Mingyuan. This is a legend in the Hong Kong business world!

"Grandpa Xiexie!" Fang Mingyuan bowed deeply and said, "It's windy, humid and cold here, grandpa still don't stay outside the pavilion too poisonly." ”

Guo Dongcheng waved his hand with a smile, and Fang Mingyuan walked back along the path.

Fang Mingyuan didn't go far before he met Yu Qiuxuan's mother and daughter who were waiting anxiously on the side of the road.

"Mingyuan. How did you talk to Lao Si? Yu Qiuxuan asked impatiently. In the car, Fang Mingyuan had already said a few words to her in general, although Yu Qiuxuan was the daughter-in-law of the Guo family, but in this kind of big matter. Don't say it's her. Even her husband can't make a decision, so he can only wait here for the results of the talks between Fang Mingyuan and Guo Dongcheng. However, while waiting here, Yu Qiuxuan also made a secret decision in his heart.

"The old man needs time to think about it, and give me the exact result by tomorrow morning at the latest. However, the old man also said that no matter what the final decision is, he is willing to lend me 500 million Hong Kong dollars. Fang Mingyuan said lightly. With the 500 million Hong Kong dollars, plus the mortgage in his hand, although the money is put in the crude oil futures market, it is still just a waste, but when it comes to the harvest, Fang Mingyuan feels that he should also be satisfied. After all, Rome wasn't built in a day, and you want to eat it all in one bite. Fatty, that's also impossible.

"That's it!" Yu Qiuxuan breathed a sigh of relief slightly. It seems that the father-in-law is still more optimistic about Fang Mingyuan, and the 500 million Hong Kong dollars is almost the emergency reserve of Guo's Shipping Group. What my father-in-law needs to consider is whether to use Guo's working capital, or simply take out a loan from a bank. Wealthy families like them, although the property under their name is very amazing, but most of them exist in the form of collectibles, luxury goods, real estate, famous cars, company equity, etc., and the cash in their hands can have 10% of the total property, which is relatively rare.

"Mingyuan, when do you plan to use this money?" Yu Qiuxuan asked softly.

"There are about three more. months to four months of time. Fang Mingyuan thought about it and said, "Sister Qiuxuan." Did you inform the CEOs of those film companies? ”
