Chapter 11 Psychological slackness

When the affairs of South America entered the formality, many of Zhouyou's negotiation teams also accumulated rich operational experience. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 From Colombia to Venezuela, from Peru to Bolivia, to Ecuador, five consecutive countries have been formally trained for the development needs of different business models in different environments.

When several countries entered the formal investment stage, the negotiating team did not stop their steps, but signed several large orders in Chile and Argentina, including Brazil.

These contracts, while not comprehensive development plans for the previous countries, are also profitable business plans. The key problem is that it requires a large investment and it takes at least seven or eight years to pay for itself, and the profit is less than 10% per year for the next ten years.

Overall, it takes 20 years to make a 100% profit from Zhou You's investment. And the first seven or eight years belonged to the unprofitable stage, counting inflation, even if the profit of about 10% was maintained every year in the future, it was almost impossible to make money, and it was a loss to make money.

Although the political situation in these three countries is relatively stable, considering the economic collapse of Brazil after 2013, Zhou You is a little worried that he will not be able to return to his roots.

If this is just a simple business plan, Zhou You will definitely not accept it, but now Zhou You is not interested in how much money he makes, but whether he can control the market. Therefore, Zhou You immediately accepted the unfair terms of exploiting mineral resources in these three countries.

Moreover, if you really look at it from a business point of view, it is not true that you can't make money, although the main plan can't make money, but the investment in other aspects is certainly not unprofitable.

These countries also know that the terms in this regard are more stringent, so the conditions given in other aspects are not bad, and on the whole, although the profits are not high, they are still acceptable.

However, Zhou You did not pay much attention to these things, but after Christmas, he came to London, England.

In the world, Tokyo is the world's largest city and the strongest city in terms of economy. However, in terms of international status, Tokyo does not even rank in the top three.

Strictly speaking, New York is the largest metropolis in all aspects, and it is also called the economic center of the world by Americans.

In the eyes of the general public, New York is leading the way in global financial innovation. Major hedge funds, venture capital, and private equity investments are all from the United States, and most of the new products and trading methods in the global securities exchange market come from New York, where the largest stock market is located, so New York is the deserved leader.

However, based on a comprehensive analysis of financial conditions, although New York has Wall Street, London is the real world financial center. Because everything in New York needs to go through London to influence the world, New York is the financial center of the United States, but London is the financial center of the world.

The commonality between New York and London allows financial businesses and professionals to move almost seamlessly between the two centers, reducing the cost of interaction, while the complementarity of the two cities creates opportunities to make interaction profitable. New York controls the entrance to the world's largest and most liquid domestic financial markets, and London's geographical, political and historical geography means access to a different time zone, European markets and global networks.

London's banking sector manages the world's assets, and their foreign exchange volume accounts for more than 40 percent of global foreign exchange turnover, compared to less than 20 percent in New York.

In the commodity trading market, London controls nearly 40 percent of the world's resource trading volume, while New York has less than 10 percent, and Chicago, the largest commodity trading market in the United States, barely exceeds 20 percent.

This is equivalent to saying that the pricing power of all minerals, whether it is gold, oil, iron ore or copper, is not in New York, but in London. And offshore currency settlement, reinsurance, and foreign exchange listing prices are also under the control of London, so strictly speaking, London is the real financial center of the world.

After traveling all his life, after continuous study, he learned that London's financial market status was higher than that of New York, and in his previous life, he always thought that New York was the best.

He didn't know much about the financial market, nor did he know about the commodity trading market, and he didn't have an accurate concept of futures, futures indexes, stock indexes, foreign exchange trading, and currency settlement.

Therefore, although he knows that it is easier to make money, he has never dared to step into this industry, because the wind and waves in it are unbearable for him, a reborn person.

After all, although he is a reborn, he is not omnipotent.

But when he decided to influence the market through the countless resources he controlled in South America, he needed to enter the market that scared him, even if he was afraid.

In the second half of this year, crude oil would have risen to an all-time high of $147, and there was no limit to the rise of various mineral products.

Therefore, Zhou You made up his mind from the beginning to influence the entire market through his influence, so that this round of price increases would not be as crazy as in his previous life.

At this time in his previous life, he had already begun to run mainly on cargo ships on the South American route, and his main destination was Antofagasta in Chile, from where he pulled copper plates back to the mainland, so he knew very well about the rise in the price of minerals and the rise in the price of oil.

He didn't have any great feelings, he just wanted to rely on his prophet and let the Americans know that if he offended himself, he would suffer the most cruel revenge.

On the one hand, it is to suppress the price of resource products, and on the other hand, it is to hit the dollar through the foreign exchange market. This needs to come to London to operate, so, he came to London.

It was also at this time that the Ranger, which was searching for Colombia, finally found the wreck of the San José in the sea of Cartagena, a cup of 20 nautical miles.

The wreckage was scattered on the ocean floor at depths of less than 2,000 meters, and was affected by wind, waves, and currents, forming a treasure belt about 50 kilometers wide and about 50 kilometers wide.

This also means that the salvage of the San Jose will be very difficult.

At the same time, both Spain and Colombia, including Peru and Ecuador, told Zhou You that their side owned part of the San Jose, and asked Zhou You to carefully consider the distribution of the San Jose's wealth.

Indeed, the San Jose has not been salvaged in previous lives, partly because South American countries did not have deep-sea salvage technology, and partly because of complex ownership.

According to the history of the San José, the antiques worth more than a billion dollars were transported from the Viceroyalty of Spain in the South.

At that time, Spain occupied most of the Americas, and the Northern Doge's Palace, which is now Mexico City, mainly transported Mexican silver through the Pacific Ocean, the Philippines and then to Spain.

The Viceroyalty of Surü was located in Lima, Peru, and transported gold from Chile, Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador back to Spain via the Atlantic.

The antiques and gold on board the San Jose came mainly from Peru and Ecuador and Colombia, so it was reasonable for the three countries to pursue the distribution of the lawsuit. And the Spanish government's request for distribution rights is also reasonable.

Although the Spring Festival is approaching, Zhou You has authorized Chuck and Lin Wei to give them full responsibility for negotiations with various countries.

Zhou You's possession of these antiques is almost gone, even according to the highest distribution, Zhou You has a maximum of 50 percent ownership, even if there are more than a billion antiques and gold, Zhou You can only get a few hundred million dollars.

In 2006, Apple's stock and Google's stock skyrocketed, and his wealth increased by more than $500 million a month, so these riches could not attract him.

Zhou You only put forward one requirement for Chakel, that is, to make the countries satisfied, and it is enough to not lose money himself.

Leaving the matter to Chakr, Zhou Yu fell into the first stage of laziness after being reborn in London. Although he was in London, he knew that he needed careful preparation for the layout of the financial market in the United States, but he had no intention of handling official business, and took Paris to hang out in London every day.

Since his rebirth, he has been struggling to rush upward, never seeming to be tired, but before this crucial plan, Zhou Yu seems to have lost interest and motivation in everything.

He took Paris to F1, Atletico Madrid, rock concerts. Spending a lot of money on the night club in London, but he still feels bored, and even women seem to have lost their attraction to him.

He didn't know what the reason was for him, he just lazily felt indifferent to everything.

Yan Fangqing, who was far away in Asia, knew about this situation and sent the children to London, but Zhou You took the children to live in a mansion on Garden Street in Kensington, and he was even reluctant to go out. Playing with children every day and teaching Longlong to practice has become his greatest pleasure.

Gracia didn't worry too much about the psychological slackness of Zhou You, and they also consulted some psychologists, who thought that the slackness that each person had at different times was normal and could be adjusted through self-regulation.

Zhou You himself thought so, but what he didn't expect was that because his psychology was too strong, it would be more difficult to adjust.

Zhou You finally gave up his efforts and decided to take advantage of this Spring Festival to go back to his hometown for a Spring Festival. Maybe after a Spring Festival, people will be fine.

Since they decided to spend the Spring Festival in their hometown, Ma Hongtao and Yan Fangqing, who have now worked at the Singapore headquarters, took the lead in returning to their hometown to make arrangements. On February 12, he flew directly back to Xiangcheng from London, and it was February 13 when he arrived home.

In London, Zhou You spent hundreds of thousands of pounds each on Yan Fangqing and Gracia to buy a lot of gifts as Valentine's Day gifts, and Gracia also arrived in Xiangcheng in the early morning of February 14.

Zhou You did not stay at Yan Fangqing's house this time, but stayed in a hotel next to the film and television city, this hotel belongs to the supporting project of the film and television city, and it also belongs to the industry of Zhou You, so after their family and bodyguards and nannies moved in, they did not accept any tourists.

The news of his return to Xiangcheng City spread all over the world the next day, and the leaders of Xiangcheng City came to visit in an endless stream. But this time, I didn't see anyone in the tour, and I just wanted to spend a Spring Festival quietly.

When Gracia arrived in Xiangcheng, he brought a large number of assistants, and at the same time shouldered the work of Zhou You. On Valentine's Day, she was still in her hotel room, handling the work that had been collected from all over the world.

When she came back, she also brought back Zhou Minghong and a few crew members who wanted to come back for the New Year, and to Zhou You's surprise, Gracia even introduced a girlfriend to Zhou Minghong. This Spanish girl named Jeddaviv Samonz has a typical Western figure, with a plump S-shaped body curve that can beat more than eighty points even in Spain, and her face is also very good.

But this girl has the traditional thinking of a Basque woman, caring for her family and respecting her husband, although Zhou Minghong is not good-looking, but I don't know what she likes about him, and Zhou Minghong's thoughtfulness makes Zhou You a little envious.

The arrival of Jida Vieve also caused quite a stir in Zhou Minghong's home. Let's not talk about traveling around, Liang Hao has already had a girlfriend, Yang Enquan also found an American girl, and Ma Hongtao and his girlfriend are also honey oil.

Zhou Minghong is still naked after going out with Zhou You, his mother always says that he is too honest, and he is a crew member on the ship, it is common not to see a woman for a few months, and it is difficult to think of a good girlfriend. But all of a sudden, he brought back a foreign daughter-in-law who was the envy of everyone.

Zhou You couldn't help but ask Gracia: "Is it reliable?" ”

Gracia scoffed and said arrogantly: "I've been paying attention to it a long time ago, Gidavieve's personality is definitely the most suitable for the third child, you can rest assured." ”

On Valentine's Day, Zhou You handed over the children to the nannies, drove an inconspicuous Land Rover, took Yan Fangqing and Paris to worship God and make wishes at the Zhenwu Taoist Temple that Yan Fangqing and Paris often went to play when they were children, and then went to Gurung, where Wolong lived in seclusion, and missed some childhood time.

He wanted to take Paris to the ancient city for a visit, but it didn't take long for him to be recognized, and in the end he had to run away in embarrassment, avoiding the fans in his hometown.

The next day, a photo of him running wild in the streets was published in major media outlets, making people around the world see a joke. And the area around the hotel where he stayed was blocked by reporters and fanatical fans.

After nearly a month and a half of release, the Pirate King prequel has entered the next stage around the world, and the total box office of this prequel is far less than that of Pirates of the Caribbean 3, but it has also exceeded 1.2 billion US dollars, which makes Disney even more overjoyed and determined to make this series more episodes.

However, due to the current stiff relationship with the United States, Zhou You is afraid that they will find another excuse to lock himself in, so at least until next year, he will not go to the United States.

Bruckheimer made a compromise after guessing the idea of traveling around, and decided that if the fourth part or the second part of the prequel was to be filmed before next year, it would be filmed outside the United States.

However, he has not been interested in doing anything in Zhou You recently, if it weren't for watching him travel thousands of miles from the United States to turn a few planes over, he almost said directly that he didn't want to act in future movies.
