Chapter 950: Scheming that had to be used
Chinese people like to use scheming, scheming, and power tricks, thinking that it is an inevitable choice to succeed, and Sun Ziming does not like this.
Things like scheming, scheming, and power tricks, in ancient times when education and information were not developed, could still be a means for the superior to control the lower, but if it is placed in the modern era when even the "Black and Thick Scripture" can be published publicly, it will only make people laugh and be generous.
Who is more stupid than anyone in this era? There are some tricks that others may not be aware of at the time, and they can find similar answers in the massive amount of information when they turn around.
Therefore, Sun Ziming only did some shady things when he started his family, and he acted upright after making a fortune. Even if someone breaks the adultery, Sun Ziming also generously admits that he likes to be open and honest internally, never plays twists and turns, at most encounters some difficult things to say, and says it more tactfully.
Now that the Far East Group founded by him, the factions have begun to surface, and there are faint factional struggles, and Sun Ziming's first reaction is that everyone should sit down and have a good talk. Clearly divide the interests and powers that were not clearly divided in the past, and save yourself from mediating and persuading when conflicts arise in the future.
And before he wants to convene everyone to discuss, he must first unify the thinking of his faction, although he has been stuffy about making movies and investing in the United States, but within the Far Eastern Group, his faction is the strongest and powerful.
The Far Eastern Group is a consortium with the Far Eastern Bank as the core, and the Far Eastern Bank has divided the shares between the three since the day it was founded, but the plan has never kept up with the changes. Most of the bank's funds are invested in industry, and although they have made considerable profits because of the mainland's economic development, how can the rate of return on industry be as high as that of finance? What's more, the Russian assets controlled by the Far Eastern Bank are all large pieces of fat, and who wants to cash them out or mortgage them to foreign banks?
Therefore, most of the sources of funds for the rapid expansion of Far Eastern Bank were obtained from Sun Ziming's speculation in the financial market, and the shares of the third brother and Yang Guozhong had already been diluted by the continuous capital increase to less than 30%. This time, Sun Ziming made a profit of more than 300 billion US dollars in the US stock market crash, although the third brother and Yang Guozhong also picked up more than 20 billion yuan, but compared with his income, it is almost negligible.
In this matter alone, he thought that he needed to give the third brother and Yang Guozhong a reasonable explanation, and he had to use a snack. Because the relationship between the three of them is different from that of others, the interests of both of them are tied to themselves, and a considerable part of their own interests are independent of them. People's hearts will change, even if they have 10,000 reasons, the other party admits that this is their private matter, but it is inevitable that there will be a knot in their hearts - complaining that they did not take them to make a fortune, planting a seed of distrust in everyone's hearts.
As long as it is a seed, it will sprout and grow at the right time in the future, and finally grow into a big tree, so that everyone will no longer trust each other, and eventually go to split. How many Chinese partnerships are like this, and finally split into several family businesses until they go into decline. That's why there is a saying that there are only world-class entrepreneurs among Chinese people, and there are no world-class enterprises.
β¦β¦
Yang Guozhong, who came from Moscow, listened to Steve's explanation, glanced at the list of transactions piled up on the desk, and looked at the third brother with the same expression bitterly. At the beginning, he miscalculated in Tokyo, and just wanted to keep his stake in the Far Eastern Bank from being diluted, and took back most of the profits. Unexpectedly, in the past seven or eight years, Ziming has been laying out in the United States, just like the Americans did in Southeast Asia two years ago, and successfully sheared the wool for this only superpower.
"Ziming, hey"
"Stop! It's not what you think, Claudia, explain it to them. β
As soon as Yang Guozhong got up, Sun Ziming immediately interrupted him, this is his biggest secret, and it is also the most unspeakable to others, even if he didn't even tell Juanzi to her at the beginning.
Claudia, who has always been regarded by Yang Guozhong as a female assistant and plaything, put down the notebook and pen in her hand and told everyone about some of her whimsical ideas: she was inspired by Cisco's success and thought it was another American railroad bubble.
ββ¦β¦ In those days, anyone who brandished a railroad plan could find investors on Wall Street, just as Internet companies had just emerged a few years ago.
I went out of my way to check the historical data, and from 1880 to 1890 alone, 113,230 km of railroads were built, bringing the total length of railways in the United States to 400,000 km. However, as more and more railways were built, the operating efficiency was not as good as expected, or even worse, and finally in 1900, the stock price of the railroad suddenly crashed ...... the financial markets.
So, we inject a lot of money into the 'garage companies', help them go public quickly, cash out quickly, and then go on to find new small companies that can attract investor interest......"
After listening to Yang Guozhong's translation of Claudia's explanation like a story, the third brother looked at Sun Ziming incredulously, if he didn't know too much about his cousin, he would think it was perfunctory. Yang Guozhong also looked at Sun Ziming in shock, if he hadn't gotten a lot of money like this, he would have thought that he was playing with him.
What Claudia said was what Sun Ziming had started in bed and asked the woman to make up for it herself. It's just that he didn't expect that this woman picked up from the streets of New York could have such extraordinary courage to toss a jaw-dropping result with the billions of dollars in Steve's hands.
"Clear, right? I gave her a billion dollars in start-up capital and asked Steve to cooperate, and she and Steve did the rest of the work. Then when the stock market was at its craziest, I was worried that the boom would go down, so I forced them to withdraw. β
βYes!β
Claudia patted her towering chest and said in fear, "If it weren't for the boss's order, we'd probably be out of luck." Many of the investment companies that followed us not only lost the money they had made before, but also went bankrupt. Luckily, we got out early and didn't think about earning the last dollar! β
Yang Guozhong and the third brother sighed, and had to comfort themselves, so they picked up tens of billions by themselves.
In terms of financial speculation, he has never had a vision and does not have much practical ability. If this was the case in Tokyo, where he was in charge and Steve was in charge of the actual operation, everyone would still have a big piece of the pie. But this matter is led by this woman, and she has no shortage of funds, and the amount of funds is getting bigger and bigger, of course, she will only consider the interests of her boss and herself. It is estimated that everyone can get a piece of the pie, but Ziming forcibly ordered her, did not let her funds withdraw, and has been following the trend.
Steve is friends with everyone, and after getting along for more than ten years, he has long been accustomed to the thinking of the Chinese, and when he saw that the two of them were still a little stupid, he scolded with a smile: "Okay, don't be sad." You put some money in the company, didn't do any work, and made tens of billions of dollars by yourself. I've worked hard for seven or eight years, and I'm worried every day, don't I only earn so much from you? β
This is also true, the third brother and Yang Guozhong also threw away that bit of jealousy, they withdrew the funds by themselves, and they only blame themselves, not others. Everyone is not a child again, the business rules are like this, how much investment can have how much income, you can't just because everyone has a good relationship, you can't ask others to let yourself and share more of your own money, right?
Sun Ziming threw a circle of cigarettes and discussed: "This matter is here, what should we do if we discuss the money?" You have more than 20 billion, and I have 300 billion there, should I put it in the bank, or should I invest it somewhere else? β
Both of them were silent, if the money was put into the Far Eastern Bank, it would definitely not be considered a deposit, it could only be regarded as a share expansion. If this is the case, the shares of the two will be diluted again, and it was because of the lack of working capital that Sun Ziming repeatedly increased the capital. Now that all undertakings are on the right track, the two of them will definitely not be willing to increase their capital, and the controllable equity is in the hands of others, which stands to reason that this is a normal business behavior, but the motive is not very good.
Sun Ziming looked at the two of them for a while, and then said his plan. The eldest brother and they set up a public relations company and an intermediary company, which they came up with, and the third brother is not right if they want to use financing as a bargaining chip to reach out, and now it is their turn to figure it out, the truth should be able to figure it out, right?
"I asked David, now that the bank has enough money to turnover, it is a bit inappropriate to put so much money in the bank. David, what do you think? β
David was also very embarrassed about this, the amount of funds was too large, and unless the bank's business was expanded overseas, there was no way to digest so much money. But if it is used to expand the business, it will inevitably further dilute the shares of the third brother and Yang Guozhong, which Sun Ziming is unwilling. The industries of Russia and the mainland rely heavily on the third brother and Yang Guozhong, and it is impossible for him to harm their interests without necessity.
"Otherwise, all your money will be put into the bank, and I will also take a part of it according to the proportion of shares, and regard it as our collective capital increase. If there are more, see if Ma Qingwei can expand his shares, and if there are more, ask others. I really can't digest it, so I put it in the bank as a deposit. β
The two secretly breathed a sigh of relief, of course, the more abundant the bank, the better, but if the shares are diluted again, what about their influence on the bank? But hundreds of billions of dollars were used as deposits, and the two of them suddenly felt embarrassed, which was obviously a bargain for Sun Ziming.
Sun Ziming waved his hand, "It's okay, money is just a number for me." Let's talk about the group, now that the scale is large, many things must be clarified, otherwise it will inevitably quarrel in the future, who will come first? β
As soon as he talked about this, the third brother began to complain about the Hu brothers, and the bank gave them loans with preferential interest rates, but except for the original 30% shares, they did not give everyone investment opportunities. What made them even more dissatisfied was that when the army transferred military property to the local government, it was the third brother who brought in a large amount of land and handed it over to them for development, which led to the unconventional development of Guangsha.
Now that they have become bigger, on the one hand, they still reach out to the group for financial support, and on the other hand, they are unwilling to share the interests of the group, how can this be justified?
This is a troublesome matter, it seems that things are not as I thought, it is still a slap in the face, and both parties are responsible.
After pondering for a while, Sun Tzu said: "I'll go and discuss this matter with the eldest brother and them to see how to solve this problem." If they don't want to share the benefits, then our interest rate will only be calculated on commercial loans, don't you think? β
"To add public relations fees, which company now goes to the bank for a loan without additional costs?"
Sun Ziming's heart sank, and the contradiction between the two sides was more tricky.
