Chapter 393: Too Much Money
After solving the troubles of investment and construction, An Feng went to engage in political relations.
In order to express his gratitude, An Feng was invited to participate in the foreign investment cocktail party, and together with other foreign businessmen who have ideas to invest in Tanzania, get together for a glass of wine, eat a buffet, and connect with feelings.
This set of estimates is also learning from the West, the specifications of the drinking party are very Westernized, the majority of men, and some kind of agreement may be reached with government officials on some investments and plans, and some kind of agreement may be reached secretly. The specifics are unknown, anyway, An Feng had some blood in this matter.
At the end of November, the 20-day trip to Tanzania ended.
An Feng gave Xiaobai plenty of vacation, let him enjoy the real primitive, and the film crew that followed also shot many precious shots. After the shooting, he was tailoring, ready to show the audience how a tiger can use his exquisite hunting skills to live in the African savannah.
After the broadcast of this documentary, it attracted a lot of attention. Since ancient times, the controversy about who is stronger in tigers and lions has not been broken, and there have been people who have brought tigers to Africa, whether in terms of hunting ingenuity or means, tigers are obviously more proficient in this, and Xiaobai is even more outstanding.
In the documentary, Xiaobai provoked the herd, fought with the lions, and boldly took on the elephant alone...... Countless rare classic shots make people remember this sturdy Bengal tiger and interpret its strength. In the African savannah, the only thing that can threaten it is the group.
A single opponent can hardly pose a threat, only lions and elephants can suppress it, and even if it is a single elephant, Xiaobai has a way to make it flee in the wilderness, not to mention smaller animals. The predator at the top of the food chain impresses the prairie creatures.
To accompany it. An Feng and Joanna were both sacrificed, one was tanned, the other was tanned, and the accompanying bodyguards decisively threw away their suits on the third day of arriving in Africa, how cool and cool they were. When I came back, it was also a red lobster. When it comes to life on the grassland, I don't regret it, I can have a surprising adventure in my life, and follow the tiger out hunting at close range, what else is there to complain about?
But it is indeed a bit too much loss in terms of image, and Joanna insists on not going out until she recovers. An Feng also had to take some time to adjust, and from November to the New Year, they stayed at home honestly. Even the Texas shooting show only participated in the opening ceremony.
The shooting exhibition added the shell link, which was more lively than before, An Feng personally experienced the mortars and old towing guns, judging from the number of visitors at the scene, the shooting exhibition was very successful, and the people of Texas were very fond of outdoor activities.
After the New Year, Joanna was finally satisfied with her wheat-colored skin and began to look for ways to enjoy herself in the new year. They followed the cruise ship HMS Queen on a trip to the Sea Carnival. The cruise side was also well prepared for the arrival of the hostess. Reopen a room that has been idle for half a year.
The suites on the top floor are private, only open to the owner and important friends, and they are really not used a few times a year, except for the first voyage last year, they also used it once in the middle of the year, and no one can appreciate the luxury of the top floor.
It's a bit of a waste to be idle. But An Feng is not short of this money, he likes to be empty.
Now for the second time, the room is regularly cleaned and spotlessly clean and will be according to the preferences of the guests. Adjustments have been made accordingly, such as Joanna's living habits, what she likes to eat, taste preferences, and even the temperature of the water in the bath.
Lying down on the soft golden sand, with a parasol on your head blocking the light, a juice drink at hand, and then looking at the various characters on the beach, and the cheerful bikini beauties in the shallow water, it is indeed a visual enjoyment and an attitude of free life.
An Feng was half-lying and sucking juice, occasionally looking at the people around him, the wet Roger came over, sat on the recliner next to him, beckoned the waiter to come over, asked for a glass of juice, dried his body with a towel, and also learned from An Feng's lazy appearance, adjusted the recliner and sat down half-lying.
"Not interested in swimming?" Roger said casually.
"There's enough sun in Africa." An Feng didn't raise his eyelids and said, "Now I use high-protection sunscreen to protect my skin." ”
"You can see it." Roger looked at the beauties on the beach, "This kind of day is really good, it's almost over." ”
"You're going to die?" An Feng looked at the beach, "Don't worry, I'll help Miranda find a good man." ”
Roger looked at him speechless for a while, and An Feng smiled: "Hey! I'm just kidding! ”
"I mean, I'm going to end my current state of freedom, I had a successful proposal a few days ago, and the wedding will happen in about three months," Roger said. ”
"Congratulations!" An Feng said with a smile, "After a long run, I finally reached the finish line!" ”
"It just feels a little weird." Roger said.
An Feng said with the mentality of a person who came over: "Didn't you add a ring and a promise to the current relationship? I see that you have been together for so many years and have not been separated, which is enough to prove that there is a place of mutual attraction in it, which can allow you to live together for a lifetime. Otherwise, it would have been long overdue to follow whom. ”
Roger nodded: "That's right, it's time for me to live a stable life." ”
"Remember to throw a bachelorette party." An Feng clinked glasses with him, it was always Roger Zhang Luo's bachelorette party before, and this time it was finally his turn as the protagonist.
Roger smiled: "It's going to have to be wonderful, and it's a good commemoration." ”
……
After returning from the cruise, An Feng listened to the report of the think tank.
At the beginning of each year, there is a summary report, and this year's content is more complex than in previous years.
In the case of GP, it currently has three subsidiaries, GP Energy, GP Electronics and the newly established "Graphene Industry", which is fully controlled and mainly involves graphene materials, such as body armor and aviation lightweight shells; There are also sensors, touch screens, etc.
The graphene industry was independent to facilitate the operation of GP companies, and the essence is very much like a factory, because the R&D departments are all concentrated in GP companies. It has had a good one-year of revenue, with $1.2 billion in revenue, of which the sturdy and flexible screen accounts for the majority and will be even higher in the future.
GP's strategy is to use Nokia as a springboard to promote flexible screens and mobile processors and mobile phone systems, from the current point of view. They are very successful, only wait for the value of the Berg company to rise, and then consider the full distribution of goods, at present, there is no urgency, it is the company that is in a hurry.
The company's other two divisions generated revenues of more than $100 billion last year, and GP Energy kicked off the battle for the world's electric vehicle market. The surge in revenue, combined with demand in mobile devices and industrials, resulted in $55 billion, more than double the conservative estimate.
GP's growth has been too slow, and GP is giving the giants a chance to breathe - since GP Electronics has been involved in supercomputers, large and small computers, PC processors and mobile processors, it has to take out IBM, Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, Samsung and other chip producers from top to bottom.
That is, if there is any overlap, it has the ability to kill each other in seconds, but it is currently in a state of breaking each other. It is relatively flat, giving the opponent a respite, so that shareholders can hurry up and sell the stock, and the company's stock price also changes every day, and the overall state is a steady decline.
And the Texas consortium that can grasp the law of changes in the stock market, especially the investment banks with their shadows, are now playing the means of "short selling", what is short selling? To put it simply. For example, borrowing shares from a securities company and selling them for 100 yuan. After it falls to 60 yuan, I will buy it back and return it to the securities company. The 40 yuan difference is earned by investment banks through intelligence and gambling.
At present, the most famous player in the world to play this hand is Goldman Sachs, and it is also the most notorious.
But the members of the consortium do not need to gamble, because of the actions of the GP company. They are controlled by them, and they have already sold the borrowed shares at a high price before the occurrence of an impact on the stock prices of other companies, and the GP company shows its technology, and the stock price of the opponent plummets. They buy it back.
This kind of cheating game is not limited to GP companies, but also other dominant companies, which is why the consortium members are eager to control the company. The commodity economy in the consortium accounts for a part of the profits, and the profits of financial instruments also account for a part.
At present, the strongest technology company on the earth has no intention of driving out its opponents, although the opponents know that the general trend is gone, and it is uncertain who belongs to them in the future, but it no longer belongs to them, unless changes can be made in the near future, but how easy it is, their opponents are "the future".
In addition to GP companies, the pharmaceutical industry also has considerable revenues, the most important being anti-cancer drugs, Sinclair's pharmaceutical companies have revenues of $50 billion, and the monopoly power should not be underestimated. Dozens of other authorized patents have also brought nearly 100 billion US dollars in returns, and An Feng can share a lot.
The revenue of BD reached 18 billion yuan for the bio-drinks separated from the research center, which is also the reason why the market has just been laid, and the factories around the world have just been established, and the United Kingdom and Italy have been officially operating for a quarter. The profits obtained are not distributed and continue to be used for expansion and development.
There are other enterprises in Anfeng, because they play the role of science and technology exporters, their own profits are not considered, I am afraid that they have to invest money in it, fortunately, in the last year, Anfeng invested a lot of tax deductions, and the consumption of Anfeng's industry, robot company and superconductor company is not too large. This year, Superconductor has officially accepted investment from consortium partners, and the funds received should be able to cover the huge R&D expenses.
However, the ocean shipping company that Anfeng has been ignoring actually achieved a profit of 20 million US dollars!
The largest portion of the revenue comes from the Queen Joanna, which is chosen by tourists for both luxury and travel, as well as the world's biggest title. After deducting operating costs, salary expenses, taxes, etc., the net profit belonging to the company is a full 20 million US dollars.
As a result, An Feng placed an order with a Norwegian shipyard to build a 150,000-ton luxury cruise ship, focusing on ultra-luxury and futuristic technology, which will continue the five-star rating of the Queen, and add more technology, such as holographic projection, intelligent systems, and futuristic restaurants, ballrooms and leisure areas.
The cruise ship was named the "Liberty Poseidon" and was expected to take three years to build and cost an estimated billion dollars.
An Feng really doesn't know how to spend money now, the companies under his command are growing exponentially every year, and the income has also doubled several times, last year he felt that 15 billion was strong enough, and this year it exceeded 30 billion US dollars. Even though his think tank is trying its best to sort out its assets and transfer some of his personal holdings to overseas offshore companies or other holding companies, he still has nearly $10 billion in personal holdings.
This means that he needs to pay up to $3.5 billion in personal income taxes.
Last year's deduction he tried his best to do, did a lot of things to spend money, and finally paid 1.6 billion personal taxes, this year more, in addition to investment, he is now considering doing something else, such as investing in sports in the United States, American football is said to be very popular, and the NBA is also loved......
In addition to his personal accounts, his various overseas accounts are really overstocked, with more than 20 billion in cash.
John advises him not to sit still, and to convert the money into something of value, such as an antique collection, a famous painting, or a car, when all the investment projects are sufficient. It is also recommended to convert into bonds, or part of the gold reserves, to prevent world economic turmoil.
An Feng also thinks that the idea is good, he buys gold every year and saves dozens of tons of it, even if the dollar collapses and the world economy is finished, he will have the guarantee of gold. It is not the people who have intangible property who have the last laugh, paper money can be turned into waste paper, but gold is real. (To be continued......)
