Chapter 376: Getting Better
The sun was shining brightly at the end of September on Long Island, New York, and a white dining table had been set up on the lawn of the Fortune Manor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zheng Fan sat at the top of the dining table, holding a knife and fork and slowly cutting the steak in front of him, enjoying the fresh outdoor air and the warm breeze.
"It's so comfortable in the afternoon, this steak is not bad, bring me another one." Under the gaze of Ji Er and Qin Yan, Zheng Fan sighed with a smile on his face and smiled at the maid not far away.
"Lockheed Martin's ordinary missiles, as well as ground weapons business, have been successfully privatized, and although the follow-up orders have not been affected much, the profits of the main business are too much worse." For Zheng Fan's unpunctual meal time, Ji'er could only accompany him to drink tea.
"Why did you abandon the most cutting-edge weapons business when you forcibly bought Lockheed Martin? Without the R&D capabilities of the Skunk Works, what is the use of obtaining the right to manufacture and operate ordinary missiles and ground weapons and equipment? Qin Yan seems to be very interested in the acquisition of Century Holdings, an arms company, and even expressed her dissatisfaction.
"You should buy an arms company, do what I want? For Century Holdings, the market value of Lockheed Martin may not be large, but aviation, aerospace, and high-precision weapons and equipment electronic systems, I don't know how many people are staring, if it falls into the hands of me, a Chinese, it will cause a very big backlash, and I don't know how much trouble there will be in the follow-up, and it will make people think of it as a military spy. Zheng Fan rolled his eyes and said.
"If you're worried about arousing suspicion, why bother with it, with Lockheed Martin's ordinary missile and ground weapons and equipment business, it's really too chicken for Century Holdings, right?" Qin Yan had the meaning of questioning.
In fact, not only Qin Yan, but even Ji Er had a lot of incomprehensible doubts about Zheng Fan's thoughts.
"Why do you always have to think from the standpoint of the country, for me personally, ordinary missiles and ground weapons and equipment are very practical and sufficient." Zheng Fan put a small piece of steak in his mouth, looking very satisfied.
"What you mean by practicality is to equip private mercenary groups and carry out terrorist activities?" Regarding Zheng Fan's statement, Qin Yan had disdain.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm a serious capital businessman." Zheng Fan's eyes widened slightly, and he directly held back what Qin Yan wanted to say.
"Although we divested the general missile and ground weapons and equipment business and privatized it, we still managed to hold a 20% stake in Lockheed Martin, and if we need it in the future, we can still carry out subsequent operations." Ji Er continued to report to Zheng Fan.
"It is estimated that it will not be used, but it is not bad for these equity funds, it can only be regarded as better than nothing, for the privatized ordinary missile and ground weapons and equipment business, we must do a good job in relevant production and operation, maintain and develop the local market in the United States, it is very important, do not lose the vitality of the operation, the assets are in our hands, as if there is another plan, how about the arms company in the past, we can only do better in the future, so as to respond to the question forcefully." Zheng Fan covered his eyes and instructed Ji'er.
"In terms of the influence of our Century Holdings in the capital market, the order business of the arms company wants to get better development than in the past, it is still not a big problem, although the asset stripping privatization did not take the skunk factory, but the arms company has begun to apply for special funds, ready to set up a new research and development department." Ji'er was also in a good mood, and said with a smile.
"How's the matter with Mayo Medical?"
I don't know if the situation has progressed, Zheng Fan at this time no longer has the sense of urgency he had before.
"Yao Ling has come to the United States to participate in the operation of the Mayo Medical Group, which should be a good learning opportunity for her, and with the influence and support of Century Holdings in the Mayo Medical Group, I believe she will gradually get better." Ji'er's statement seems to be quite far-reaching.
"Very good, in less than two months, to be able to do this, you can imagine how much effort you and the acquisition team have made, and you have worked hard." Zheng Fan showed a look of satisfaction from the bottom of his heart, and praised Ji'er rarely.
"The main thing is that the timing of this expansion is good, many things are a matter of course, if there is no boss to lay the foundation for Century Holdings and Tatfook Bank, we will run a broken leg and will not be able to do anything." Ji'er is not modest, but really feels that the capital monster in front of her is very organized about when to do something.
"In the future, when I don't take care of things, I still have to be busy with you, I just hope that you will not forget the original intention of coming to Dafu Bank, enjoy this feeling of pain and happiness, and believe that with everything you have now, whether it is in the family, or in the political and business worlds, you have capital that you can be proud of." Zheng Fan said with a slight smile.
"I just didn't expect to achieve my dream so quickly, and to this day, I feel that the pride I used to be a little too childish, but the boss is right, I enjoy this feeling." Ji'er is very calm, and she is a lot more mature than before.
Although the age difference between Qin Yan and Ji'er is not big, compared to the gentle and generous Western blonde girl sitting at the dining table, Qin Yan is too immature, and her speech and demeanor still reveal the heart of the eldest lady.
When there was no Dafu Bank, Qin Yan was already the financial director of Century Holdings, and Ji'er could only be regarded as a latecomer.
But at this time, compared with Ji'er, Qin Yan does not seem to have made any progress, and the heart and behavior between the two have been stretched to an unattainable point.
"Many customers are very satisfied with the dividends of Tatfook Bank's private asset management business, and the situation is even more gratifying with the vast majority of the private asset management business funds invested in the international crude oil market." Ji Er smiled lightly and said to Zheng Fan.
"You seem to have reservations when you say this, is there anything wrong?" Zheng Fan took a sip of red wine to accompany the meal, and said unhurriedly.
"I hope the boss can move the headquarters of Tatfook Bank to Switzerland, where the secrecy law is more suitable for the development and operation of Tatfook Bank's business." Speaking of which, Ji Er couldn't help but glance at Qin Yan.
"Okay, I'll give you the authority to do this."
Without waiting for Qin Yan to speak, Zheng Fan agreed to Ji'er's proposal without hesitation.
"What is the scale of Tatfook Bank's private wealth management funds now?" Qin Yan can think of what it means for Zheng Fan to use private wealth management to control Western political leaders and celebrity interest groups.
"This is a trade secret and cannot be disclosed."
Zheng Fan ridiculed with an unserious face, and he didn't mean to be honest at all.
"At present, Vice President Wang Fengqiu is actively contacting the private asset management department of famous universities and foundations, and has negotiated two companies, namely the University of California and the California Institute of Technology, which is also a very good supplement to our business of Tatfook Bank." Ji'er admired Zheng Fan's idea very much.
"Don't be too anxious to grasp the asset management of famous universities and the affairs of the foundation system, is the affairs of the nuclear power group still going well?" Zheng Fan asked with a blank expression.
"It doesn't matter if it goes well or not, at the moment our cooperation with the American Power Investment Group has just begun, and all the safety and operation are in charge of them, and we have said that it does not count, except for the necessary investment supervisors, the Sunshine Nuclear Power Group has been taken over by the American Power Investment Group." Ji Er said to Zheng Fan cautiously.
"In this way, after the in-depth restructuring of Sunshine Nuclear Power Group, is our Century Holdings only left as an investor?" Zheng Fanle laughed.
"Now it seems that this is the situation."
Ji'er responded calmly, and didn't seem to have much dissent.
"It's very agreeable, if our existing assets don't continue to expand, you pour out your time and energy, and you have to be more meticulous in your work, and whether it is you or employees, you must strictly abide by the confidentiality clause, don't think you can do it, and start to get carried away." Zheng Fan said to Ji Er.
"I know this very well, as for the operation of the holding company in the capital market, it is not under my control now, and I will not disturb the boss's meal." Ji Er sorted out the materials on the table and got up with a smile, leaving some space for Qin Yan to talk to Zheng Fan.
"It looks like you've found someone very capable to help you with things." Looking at Ji Er's back as she calmly left, Qin Yan sighed and said.
"It's also procrastinating to do things, but the current Century Holdings and Tatfook Bank are different from before, and there are more situations to consider, so it's inevitable to be timid." Zheng Fan wiped his hands and smiled.
"I came to you this time, mainly because Hong Kong's stock market and real estate collapsed, since you left Hong Kong, the stock market began to plummet, and then triggered a series of chain reactions, and now the Hong Kong stock market has reached below 9,000 points, which has caused great public opinion pressure on the mainland." Although she felt that Zheng Fan had something to say, Qin Yan still seized the time and said something important.
"Isn't it an exaggeration to say that the collapse is still maintained? In my view, as long as there is no change in the linked exchange rate, Hong Kong's economy should be able to survive. Zheng Fan took the cigar trimmed by Huixiang Yoshii, and didn't seem to attach much importance to Qin Yan's intention.
"The linked exchange rate is trying to maintain it as much as possible, but you have to wait until Hong Kong's economy completely collapses before you are willing to help?" For the casual Zheng Fan, Qin Yan even felt angry.
"I didn't say I wouldn't help, why are you so excited? I believe Ye Qian should also explain to you that there was a promise between me and her before. Zheng Fan looked at Qin Yan's gaze as if he was looking at a little girl.
