Chapter 653: Saving Money to Deal with the Crisis
When Jin Xiaoqiang arrived in New York, it was already mid-June, and as soon as he arrived in New York, he immediately went to the headquarters of Thunderbird in Lower New York.
For more than a year, Thunderbird has been a bit of a boom in the financial streets of the United States, and since last year, it has suddenly emerged in the financial market, especially after last year's Hurricane Katrina disaster, and then in the natural gas crisis that broke out at the end of the year, after making a lot of money.
Although Thunderbird can still keep a low profile, it has not been exposed in front of many news media, and it does not accept the needs of other customers to manage funds on behalf of others, but in the financial futures market in the United States, this company has attracted the attention of many venture capital companies and financial consortia because of its super good performance.
And because Thunderbird has been profitable in the financial market for more than a year, and has not lost its performance, because of these outstanding performances, it has attracted the attention of many fund managers and the financial departments of large companies.
Even during Jin Xiaoqiang's absence, there have been countless venture capital banks, private equity funds and other institutions, waving a checkbook in their hands to find the head of Thunderbird, the purpose of their coming is very simple, that is, to be able to entrust Thunderbird to help them operate funds in the market and get more profits for them.
But after Alice and Brian reported the situation to Jin Xiaoqiang, Jin Xiaoqiang decided to reject the requests of these companies one by one after very serious consideration.
Now the operation of Thunderbird is good, although it has made a lot of money in the market, and these funds and investment banks have also taken a fancy to this and come to the door, but if they really act as an agent for the funds of these institutions to help them make money in the capital market, then they may soon attract the covetousness of these people.
You must know that in the United States, the influence of these funds and large investment banks is unimaginably powerful for ordinary people, and their power can even spread to the White House and the entire Wall Street.
If they know their future plans, then they will only attract crazy chases, and in order to be able to obtain the company in their hands, they may use all kinds of means against themselves.
You must know that you are a world celebrity now, and your business in the United States is very successful, but in the final analysis, you are a Celestial Empire after all, and you must know that with the adjustment of the US national strategy, the Celestial Empire is an irreconcilable future enemy in the eyes of Americans, especially American political circles.
So if you are really exposed by those guys, then your hard work in the United States in the past few years may be in vain, and with so much money earned in the United States, it is probably the same thing whether you can safely take it out of the United States at that time.
Don't look at what nonsense Americans are preaching everywhere about freedom, civil rights, etc., but most of these are just slogans used to deceive the people, and if they really compare with you, then they can really use any shameless means to make it.
Think about the difficulties that the network and telecommunications companies of the Celestial Empire suffered when expanding their business in the United States, and a series of investigations by Congress, homeland security, and so on, will cost astronomical sums of money, and it will take two to three years.
And the end result is that although you are playing the game according to the rules of the game set by others, when the last person who makes the rules of the game decides to break the rules of the game, you have nothing to do.
This is also the greatest sorrow of the Celestial Empire's lack of prosperity and people......
Therefore, to make money in the United States, for Thunderbird, the most important headline criterion is to keep .........a low profile as much as possible.
In this way, after thinking about it for a while, Jin Xiaoqiang decided to let Brian push away the funds that came to him, as well as the request for cooperation from the investment banks, although Brian didn't understand why Jin Xiaoqiang did this, but for more than a year, Brian, who had already regarded Jin Xiaoqiang as a god, still obediently did it.
After sending away the investment banks and fund managers who came to the door, Jin Xiaoqiang asked Brian not to be distracted by these people or things, and to focus on the operation of the capital market.
This year is the last year of the carnival of the American financial circles, a war in Afghanistan and a war in Iraq, and after these two modern wars, the Americans have basically completed their great layout in the Middle East and the Far East.
Occupying and controlling Afghanistan, and finally installing a pro-American government, put a sharp knife under the belly of Russia, and at the same time wedged a nail in the back of the rapidly rising Celestial Empire, so that after the Celestial Empire, although they have a huge territory, under the influence of the Americans' sphere of influence, there is no strategic depth at all.
At the same time, the occupation of Iraq overthrew Saddam's rule, and at the same time, the American arms dealers and oil tycoons made a lot of money, and at the same time, they re-completed the layout of Europe.
In recent years, with the rapid development of the newly established European Union, more and more European countries are vying to join the European Union, and the euro economic circle is expanding.
Britain, the-stirring stick that the United States originally planted in Europe, has become less and less effective in containing the European Union, and the euro is becoming stronger and stronger among the international currencies in circulation, which has seriously threatened the role of the dollar as an international currency.
You must know that the reason why the Americans have been able to maintain their position as world hegemon for more than 10 years after the Cold War is mainly due to the advantage of the US dollar as an international currency.
The Europeans were dissatisfied with the dollar as an international currency, and made the euro, which made the Americans very annoyed, first and then knocked the opportunity of the former Yugoslavia, and hit the European Union hard, but in the case of unsatisfactory results, the Americans flagrantly ignored the UN resolution and sent troops to Iraq together with the United Kingdom.
After the occupation of Iraq, a pro-American government was put in place, which was equivalent to controlling nearly one-third of the world's crude oil production.
The main purpose of this is to tie the dollar and the blood oil of the world's industry more strongly, and further emphasize the status of the petrodollar as an international currency.
As people's understanding of the petrodollar deepens, it will be more able to deal a blow to the euro's soaring international status during this period.
Obviously, the two strategic goals of the Americans have been achieved, and in the past few years, as the US overseas wars have progressed smoothly, the economic situation in the United States has also risen, and the cheap goods imported from far away from the Celestial Empire, as well as the treasury bonds that the Celestial Empire government has continuously lent to the US government, have made the Americans' life very good.
The three years from 2004 to the end of 2006 were later called the three years of the Wall Street market carnival, during which the big investment banks on Wall Street made a lot of profits every year, and their employees also gained a lot of benefits, and even the aunt who swept the floor in Morgan Bank was able to get more than six figures in the year-end dividends every year, which shows the madness of Wall Street.
Just when everyone was immersed in the ecstasy brought by this last madness, Jin Xiaoqiang knew that an unprecedented huge financial crisis was quietly forming in the United States, and the real outbreak time was next year.
The impact of the financial crisis was unimaginably enormous, starting in the United States and then spreading through the financial path to the rest of the world, first to Europe, then to Asia, and finally to the rest of the world. …,
Moreover, the aftermath of this crisis is unprecedentedly exaggerated, and even in the five or six years since the crisis, the whole world has not recovered from the impact of this financial crisis.
In the eyes of many people, this crisis is completely a disaster, but in Jin Xiaoqiang's view, this is a very good opportunity, as long as he grasps this opportunity, maybe the development of his Huayang power will be completely on the road.
Therefore, in his opinion, the most important job at present is to accumulate a large amount of cash in hand as much as possible, because in the next few years, it will definitely be an era when cash is king.
Last year, Huayang Power made a total profit of more than 30 billion yuan worldwide, which is more than 400 million US dollars, of which the net profit is almost more than 200 million US dollars.
However, in the past few years, due to the expansion of the factory, the subsequent purchase of equipment, the recruitment of new workers, and the purchase of land from various new cities, etc., the funds in his hands are not too abundant.
Fortunately, his expansion projects are not all required to be completed in one go, and need to be divided into several steps, so the amount of money invested in the early stage is not large, especially after reaching an installment agreement with those European equipment suppliers.
In the next few years, they will be the king of the real estate industry in the Celestial Empire, and they Huayang Real Estate may follow this shareholder wind, take advantage of the momentum, and be able to bring huge profits to the parent company, but this real estate company is not their company's main business after all, and the real estate project cycle is long, and the characteristics of slow return of funds are also determined, Jin Xiaoqiang continues to find a way to accumulate funds for himself quickly.
At present, the Yukos in Russia cannot be counted on, so the best place to make money now is the financial capital market in the United States, where trillions of dollars flow every year, and tens of billions of dollars flow here every day, so this is the best place to make money.
So it's the best place to accumulate money for the upcoming crisis.
