Talking about the current state of the economic crisis in the United States, John gushed with emotion: "A tractor factory was bankrupt under the pressure of debt, and the bank auction could not even sell for 500,000 dollars. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Selling scrap iron is not worth the price. ā
It can be said that during this period, many enterprises in the United States were at the price of cabbage, and it seems that the Soviet Union imported many industries from the United States in history.
John's narration listened quietly, and he also had a general understanding of the American market, at least a lot in terms of price.
"John, I've decided I'm going to go into business and start my own business."
Feng Tian suddenly made a big move, which immediately stunned John and William.
The eyes of the two foreign devils looked at each other, and the gaze seemed to be looking at a monster, to be exact, like looking at a fool.
"Now that the world is in the midst of the Great Depression, are you sure you have nothing wrong with your brain, or are you faint with a high fever?
At this time, you still have to run a business, let me ask you, who do you plan to sell the products you will produce in the future? ā
Before John's words fell, William continued to slap bricks on Feng Tian's head: "Even so, don't look at what time this is." I know that your family has a small asset, a little land, and it seems that there is a horse farm.
Here you may feel like a little rich family, and when you start a business, you will know that you have not too much money but too little.
You might sell your property and swap these for machines.
When you want to start the machine, hehe, if it's a good time, I don't have anything to say.
Now, hehe, the machine I bought is a pile of scrap iron, and I immediately let you cry while holding this pile of scrap iron. ā
Feng Tian didn't speak, looking at them with a smile on his face.
Feng Tian's expression was very strange, and the two of them were confused for a while.
What are you doing, if you have something to say, this smile is weird.
"Although the words of the two brothers are good, but you don't understand Chinese philosophy, don't look at you are all Chinese experts, it's still too early to master this knowledge.
The word crisis is divided into two words, and the meaning will be different, and we may have another meaning when we look at the word crisis from another angle.
There is a crisis and there is an opportunity, and the era of the Great Depression is also a good time for our generation to rise. It was also because I saw this opportunity that I decided to start a business at this time. ā
Whether it was John or William, no matter what Feng Tian said, the two of them still shook their heads.
William is quite honest, he doesn't have much to do with Feng Tian, it's just that he is far away from home, and he has a young friend in a foreign country to spend time.
"Feng, there may be some truth in what you said, but I still want to pour some cold water on you. Yes, opportunities are always there, and in your words, the difference is a thousand miles.
For example, when a crisis strikes, your business may hold out to this day.
However, you can't survive one more day, and the opportunity will come tomorrow.
As a result, you fell at the dawn of opportunity.
Listen to my brother's words, why should people be content and happy, let's do your job, how comfortable it is to stay in the headquarters. ā
"I didn't say that I want to take off this skin, and it is okay to be a soldier and do business, otherwise I wouldn't have nagged with the two, but because I can't get rid of myself, I want you to help me find prey on your own terms."
John was a little helpless, and persuaded this guy for a long time.
"It seems that you have been planning for a long time, and you already have a charter in mind. Anyway, where do you plan to start, if it's convenient, I'll ask someone to look for you. ā
After spending a long time talking, this John Bull still didn't believe that Fengtian would succeed in running a business, and he had reservations about what he said.
Feng Tian was already prepared, took out the written entry from his purse and handed it to John: "It's all here, as long as the price is right." ā
John took the paper full of words and looked down, and even William craned his neck to look at it.
The projects listed in Fengtian can be described as all-encompassing, from basic materials such as mining and mining to upstream product manufacturing, from machinery and equipment to parts and even finished products, all kinds of industries are almost covered.
John shook his head in his heart, paralyzed, this is the rhythm of death.
The question is, do you have that much money?
Suddenly, John saw a column, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Feng, you want to mine oil?" Where to mine, how did I not know that your country has oil resources? ā
It is not surprising that John's exaggerated expression is not at all surprising, and American cowboys have a soft spot for black gold.
In history, how many Westerners have devoted themselves to black gold mining in order to get rich overnight, some people are lucky enough to become nouveau riche in black gold overnight, and some people have gone bankrupt overnight.
Black gold is a legend in American history that fascinates all Americans, and John is no exception.
And Feng Tian had already anticipated John's reaction before this, and used oil as bait to attract John, so that he was not afraid that he John would not be tricked.
"Of course I have, or I'll have a brain problem and buy a bunch of rubbish?
As for where there is oil, it's too early to say, anyway, you know that there is oil in China, I can't joke about this matter, it's all money. ā
"Dear Feng, I strongly ask to buy shares, invest a million dollars, and give me 30% of the shares."
This guy doesn't have a cold at all, but with the exception of oil, this guy is like he has taken medicine, and his eyes seem to breathe fire.
Feng Tian took a moment, stretched out a finger and shook it, shook his head and said, "Ten percent of the shares, that's all." ā
Ten percent was too little, and John was reluctant: "Twenty percent, how? ā
"John, you are so greedy, you want to take 20% of the share for a million, and you can get back the cost in a year or at most two years, do you have such a deal?
You know, it's not the same situation with me as you Americans.
It's a gamble in the United States, and I'm a completely risk-free investment here, and there will be no situation where I can't extract oil with my money. ā
"Hehe, you said it earlier, I thought you weren't sure.
Well, I invested two million, and in addition, I was responsible for all the equipment, and it was not counted in the two million investment.
Feng, you must promise me to let me realize the biggest dream in my heart. ā
This guy is simply a dead skin, and he will not give up until he achieves his goal.
"Well, I'm convinced. However, you must do these items beautifully, and they are free services. ā
"Don't worry, the United States is a buyer's market now, and you won't suffer a loss if you have professionals to check the package. As far as I know, Citibank alone has a lot of bad debts in its hands, and don't you thank God if someone takes over? ā
"I definitely want to pick the good, the advanced, and I don't want the rags.
Moreover, there are patents that are preferred.
In addition, there must be a lot of unemployed people in the United States, so pay attention to those technicians, which can be regarded as solving the unemployment rate for the United States. ā
"Haha, exactly. If I were the President of the United States, I would have awarded you a medal for your contributions to the United States, my dear one. ā
The two of them were talking lively, and William next to him finally spoke.
"Feng, I see that you have listed a lot of projects, and I admit that the current price is very low, but where did you get so much money for so many projects. Don't tell me you're going to sell your property, it's not worth much, it's not enough. ā
"William, you're worrying nonsense, if I don't have money, I'll let John inspect the project? It's not a playhouse, but I'm playing for real.
There's enough money for me to spend, it's too early to say, and when John comes up with the entry, I'll put the money on Citibank's account if the price is right.
It's cheaper for John, it's a lot of business, and I guess he'll be promoted for it. John, am I right? ā
"Hehe, Citibank is not having a good time now, and it is certain that there is a promotion in this business. Those fat guys sent me here to cheat me, the Japanese have been operating here for a few years, and I am a vulnerable group here. ā
John pretended to be a little tricky, which made Feng Tian and William laugh.
