Chapter 395: Mr. Fang, Are You Sure You're Not Joking?
"Quite simply, Boeing is ready to make Boeing the largest aircraft after-sales service base in the Asia-Pacific region."
Edward boasted confidently: "Responsible for serving all Boeing customers in the Asia-Pacific region." Even if necessary, the after-sales service of Pacific Rim countries such as the United States will be handed over to Modu Boeing! ”
"Mr. Edward, are you serious?" Fang Ping said with some surprise.
If it is really as Edward said, then the importance of Boeing will be second only to Boeing headquarters in the Boeing system.
It is also reasonable to increase the amount of investment accordingly.
Most crucially, he owns 30 percent of the shares of Modu Boeing.
The higher the status of Modu Boeing, the more he earns, and the more valuable the shares of Modu Boeing in his hands.
But Fang Ping didn't believe that Edward would improve the status of Boeing in the Boeing system for no reason.
Behind this matter, there must be a request.
Edward smiled: "Of course, this matter has already passed the shareholders' meeting of Boeing Civil Aircraft Group. As long as the party is willing, the contract can be redrawn immediately! ”
"But there's a prerequisite!"
Really!
Fang Ping raised his eyebrows, glanced at Edward meaningfully, and said with a light smile: "What conditions?" ”
"Boeing hopes to get an interest-free loan of 2 billion US dollars from Mr. Fang!"
Edward rubbed his hands together and added, "This is also the second thing I came to see you, Mr. Fang!" ”
"Mr. Edward, you're not kidding! Boeing has a big business, can you borrow money from me? Fang Ping was even more surprised.
He knew that Edward threw out a bait to elevate the status of Boeing in the magic capital, and he must have asked for something. But he didn't expect that what Edward wanted was to borrow money from him.
This was definitely not expected by him.
Edward was a little embarrassed, indeed, Boeing has a big business, and a mere two billion dollars is just a drop in the bucket for Boeing.
But behind the big business, the expenses are also very large.
Like this time, Boeing's foreign investment suffered a serious loss, with a loss of up to 5 billion US dollars.
Although a series of remedial measures have been taken to make up for a lot of losses, there is still a shortfall of 2 billion US dollars.
Because this foreign investment is a trial investment outside Boeing's main business, once it is made public, it will be a major blow to Boeing's stock price.
At that time, the stock price will fall more than 5 billion US dollars.
So the best thing to do is to find a way to erase this loss-making investment before the earnings report is made public.
But it is not easy to smooth out this loss, and it is not necessary to have this money, but it is not yet known to the outside world.
After thinking about it, Boeing decided to borrow money from Fang Ping.
First, Fang Ping is a Chinese and a partner of Boeing, and will not disclose any news to the public. Second, Fang Ping has this economic strength, not to mention huge personal assets, and very abundant cash flow.
Even if Edward was far away in the United States, he had heard that Fang Ping often set off a money-burning war, and every time it was on the scale of hundreds of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars.
Of course, the most important thing is that Fang Ping and Boeing are currently in the honeymoon period, and as long as they are done properly, it is extremely likely to get an interest-free loan of two billion US dollars.
And to enhance the status of Boeing in the Boeing system is to get a bargaining chip for borrowing.
After a while, Edward replied, "Mr. Fang, look at this fund..."
"How long is Boeing going to borrow?!" Fang Ping saw that Edward didn't explain the reason, and he didn't bother to ask, so he calculated the gains and losses, and muttered.
Edward hurriedly said: "It won't be too long, only three months to borrow." ”
Trimester?
Fang Ping vaguely understood that something should have happened inside Boeing before he would come to borrow funds, thought about it, nodded and said: "The funds are fine, but we have to wait a few days!" ”
"Wait a few days? How long will it take? Edward frowned.
Fang Ping coughed dryly: "What, this matter, I'll give you an answer tomorrow!" ”
He hasn't gone to Future Capital at this time, let alone paid attention to the stock market and futures market, and he doesn't know if there is an opportunity to harvest wool from the stock market and futures market.
and how long it takes to harvest the wool.
He can only make a commitment if he understands it clearly.
"That's... All right! ”
Edward really wanted Fang Ping to settle down now, but because of the borrowed money, Fang Ping was congenitally weak, and he didn't dare to push it too hard, so he nodded and agreed.
Fang Ping nodded: "Well, you wait for my call tomorrow!" ”
As he spoke, he consciously did not mention the redrafting of the Boeing contract in Modu, but changed the topic and greeted Edward.
He knew that if Boeing's loan had not been implemented, the redrawing of the Boeing cooperation contract would not have succeeded.
Not long after, Edward received a phone call that he had work to deal with, confessed to Fang Ping, and agreed to call tomorrow, and then left Future Technology with his assistant.
After Edward left, Su Xiaoxiao was a little curious: "Boss, you are very short of funds now?" ”
In her impression, Fang Ping's funds have never been broken, and he can always get a large amount of funds from the stock market to transfuse blood for his enterprises.
"No way, there's been too much money lately!" Fang Ping shrugged.
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly, too, Fang Ping's expenses have indeed been very large recently.
For example, Xingchen Technology's 5,000 direct-operated store plan, which invested 2 billion US dollars, and NIO Mall's 10 billion subsidy plan, which spent nearly 3 billion US dollars, and so on.
Not to mention Boeing's $2 billion dollar loan, it is the $3 billion dollar reward from three companies including Future Technology, and the 15 billion RMB acquisition money from Azure Real Estate's acquisition of Boyun Retail's department stores.
They all pointed to Fang Ping's funds for blood transfusion.
In other words, Fang Ping's capital shortage is as high as nearly 10 billion US dollars.
Thinking about it, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say, "Boss, there is a shortage of nearly 10 billion US dollars, what are you going to do?" ”
"Do you want to consider transferring a part of Future Technology, or the shares of NIO Mall!"
She knows very well that the transfer of shares is the fastest way for Fang Ping to collect funds.
It can't even compare to stock speculation and futures speculation.
"Of course, I went to the stock market to shear sheep!"
Fang Ping smiled and directly ignored Su Xiaoxiao's proposal to transfer shares.
The corners of Su Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched, no, I know that you are a genius at stock trading, and you can often make a lot of money from the stock market.
But as the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet.
What if you lose your stock trading this time and suffer a heavy blow?
All right! Although the failure of stock trading does not affect your worth and wealth, it is a waste of time!
Stock speculation has a cycle limit, and it is very difficult to get tens of billions of dollars in a short period of time.
Moreover, Boeing's $2 billion dollar loan and the rewards of three companies such as Future Technology can drag on time. But the acquisition of Azure Real Estate can't afford to drag on!
There is only one month for the final payment.
Once the time is missed, not to mention the failure of the acquisition, the 10% deposit paid by Azure Real Estate in the early stage will be gone.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but euphemistically: "Boss, companies such as Future Technology are very sought after by the capital market. Not only is the valuation high, but they are also waiting for our car. ”
"If the boss is willing to transfer the shares, it may not take two days to collect tens of billions of dollars!"
"At that time, the problem of lack of funds will be solved!"
"Let's talk about it!"
After Fang Ping shrugged, he looked at the time, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and thought for a while: "It's still early at this time, I'll go to Future Capital!" ”
"On the company's side, you keep an eye on it for me first, call me if there is anything!"
"Okay, Boss!" Su Xiao said busily.
Fang Ping instructed Su Xiaoxiao again, then left the Future Technology Office Area, went downstairs to meet Ye Kai and others, and drove to the Future Capital Office Area.
When he arrived at the office area of Future Capital, Lin Dong, the CEO of Future Capital, had something to do and did not come to the company, so he asked the company's administration to inform Lin Dong and came to the office reserved for him by Future Capital and sat down at the desk.
I turned on the computer on my desktop and began to browse the stock market at home and abroad, comparing it with my memory.
After looking around, he found that there were many bull stocks that would rise sharply, and the bull stocks with the lowest increase had risen by more than 50 times. The highest, even up to a hundredfold increase.
It is equivalent to an investment of 100 million US dollars, from buying at a low point to selling at a high point, you can earn 10 billion US dollars, and the return is quite amazing.
It's a pity that these bull stocks take a long time, and it will take at least a year.
It took longer than the previous Gilead purchase.
Such a long time obviously does not meet Fang Ping's current needs for cutting leeks.
In desperation, Fang Ping could only record these bull stocks and hand them over to Lin Dong and others of Future Capital to operate. He also set his sights on the futures market.
Compared with the stock market, the futures market has a lot of room for manipulation, which can be leveraged to go long and short.
And it takes a short time and has a big return.
Fang Ping studied the futures market and finally chose to target oil.
According to the time period, this year's oil will continue to be on an upward trend, and by October, oil will even be able to refresh the record for 21 years, reaching $55.66 a barrel.
Although in July, the upward trend of oil has entered a period of wandering, sometimes rising, sometimes falling. But it doesn't matter, Fang Ping doesn't mind adding fuel to the fire, detonating the oil rise in advance and shortening the lingering period in the middle.
"Mr. Fang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were coming today, I..."
Just when Fang Ping had just decided to manipulate the futures oil, Lin Dong of Future Capital hurriedly walked in from outside the office and apologized.
Fang Ping moved his gaze from the computer to Lin Dong, smiled, and waved his hand: "It's okay, I also decided to come over and have a look at it temporarily!" ”
"Mr. Fang, are you here today, are you going to enter the stock market again? Have you picked a good stock? Lin Dong apologized for a while before he was curious.
Fang Ping shook his head: "I'm not going to speculate on stocks today, I'm going to do futures!" Strive for a short period of time and earn tens of billions of dollars! ”
"Oh, futures too, recently the futures market... What, make tens of billions of dollars in a short period of time? ”
Lin Dong subconsciously nodded in agreement, and immediately reacted, his eyes widened: "Mr. Fang, are you sure you're not joking?" ”
