Chapter 1504 Opportunities and Risks of the Secondary Market

With the arrival of An Rong, Irvine Villa has become a world for two.

Even Molly, who had always come unexpectedly, was staying at home quietly at the moment, looking at her long legs and living on fine wine.

The breakfast pancake was burnt and the battered outer shell was peeled off, but the inside still exuded a fresh fragrance.

With the warmed milk, it was a very pleasant and warm breakfast.

So the key is not what you eat, but who you eat with.

However, this short-term warmth did not last long.

After breakfast, Wu Tao was stuffed with a cup of black coffee and rushed up to the second floor.

As for An Rong, she was like a hostess, taking the responsibility of preparing for the Lunar New Year on her own.

Wu Tao returned to the second floor, sat down in the study, turned on the computer, and felt at ease.

This is the feeling a home should have.

No matter what you do, you will feel more comfortable.

Of course, having said that, since An Rong took the initiative to become the hostess, Wu Tao should start his own trouble.

At the same time in China, as the new year is approaching, all companies under the Tianyuan Consortium have completed their year-end summaries and have passed the busiest period of the year.

There is less than a week of working days left, which is basically just paddling, and there won’t be much going on.

Wu Tao called Xiao Zixia, who was assisting An Rong in handling domestic affairs, and had a preliminary communication.

The answer I got was surprising.

It turned out that An Rong had solved all the big problems before going abroad.

In the end, Wu Tao picked a few important industry directions, asked for some information, and then ended the call hastily.

The senior management team of Tianyuan Consortium is indeed a team with strong growth potential.

Wu Tao was very pleased.

Since there are no specific matters, the focus of the next step will be back to retreat.

To be more specific, it means determining the focus and direction of next year’s work.

While I was thinking about it, the cell phone on the table rang. I looked at the number and saw that it was an international call.

After the call was connected, I heard that it was Qin Xiaoxiao calling from Frankfurt.

I looked up at the time on the wall. It should be night in Frankfurt now, nine hours ahead of California time.

Qin Xiaoxiao's voice was a little tired and hoarse, but she still couldn't hide the joy of successful negotiation.

"Boss, fortunately, we have made significant progress in our negotiations with Putzmeister today. Mr. Karl showed great sincerity, and we also gave appropriate feedback. I have encrypted the specific content of the negotiations. The email was sent to your inbox."

While listening to the other party's narrative, Wu Tao opened the mailbox and glanced at it roughly.

The concessions Qin Xiaoxiao made on behalf of the Tianyuan Consortium were all within her authority and there were no problems.

So I immediately replied to the other party on the phone: "First of all, congratulations to you and your team on the significant progress. I hope you will continue your efforts and come back as soon as possible to celebrate the New Year."

"Also, I took a quick glance at the content of the email, and there is nothing wrong with it. I will reply to you later."

After quickly handling Qin Xiaoxiao's problem, Wu Tao returned to his previous plan.

It is obvious that the focus of the Tianyuan Consortium’s work after the year will still be on international promotion and expansion.

But for Chinese companies, international work itself is not that easy.

The traditional industry in Western countries is inherently a relatively group-based industry. Not to mention factors such as financial group power, political factions, etc. based on this.

Therefore, the work of the Global Strategy Department still has a long way to go.

On the one hand, we must continue to maintain strategic partnerships with several consortiums and use win-win cooperation as a springboard to continue to open up the situation.

On the other hand, we should also take advantage of the favorable conditions of the moderate international development environment before the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis in the West to expand rapidly and strengthen the international nature of the Tianyuan Consortium.

Having set the tone for international business, Wu Tao's thoughts naturally returned to domestic business issues.

Among the many domestic industrial directions, the development of semiconductor chips bears the brunt and will be the key investment direction in the next five or even ten years.

As for the competition with TSMC in the domestic market, Wu Taoshang did not take the other party seriously.

After establishing a cooperative relationship with Cao Yicheng from the beginning, his goal has always been international semiconductor companies such as Intel and AMD.

In contrast, the real estate industry and the Internet industry will successively enter a stage of steady development and be able to provide good cash flow and become high-yielding cows under the consortium.

Of course, real estate and the Internet are different.

As a real estate company, as long as Huayao Group does a good job in scientific management of finances and cash flow, it can basically make money by taking advantage of the rapid development of society.

The Internet industry is different. It is undergoing a stage of transformation from the traditional PC side to the mobile side.

At this stage, another take-off in the mobile Internet market will begin.

Although the Tianyuan Consortium has also jumped on the fast train of the real estate industry, from the bottom of his heart, Wu Tao still hopes that the software valley projects he leads in various places will bloom everywhere and bring a different situation to the domestic economic development.

Taking a step back, even if there are a few more cities with the same development philosophy as Jiangdong, it would be good.

But in this regard, Wu Tao himself understood that he could only do his best and obey fate.

After all, the interests and fundamentals of too many groups are at stake here.

Time passed unconsciously.

It wasn't until An Rong came upstairs to ask him to eat that Wu Tao realized that it was almost noon.

Lunch is very simple, steak and red wine. It is not difficult to make and it is easy to show the quality.

Sitting on the terrace, facing the blue sea and sky, is even more relaxing.

An Rong chatted about some domestic people and events, and then quickly changed the topic to the local customs of the American Empire.

"The domestic real estate market is very hot now. I didn't expect that the secondary market of the real estate industry in the United States is also very prosperous. Many investment funds and small institutions are making a living in this industry."

Wu Tao was not surprised, "Have you discovered this?"

An Rong rolled her eyes at him and said: "The real estate industry is already a hot topic now. When you come abroad, you will naturally pay attention to this issue. This morning, I read several local newspapers and websites in California. The space and advertising in the first-class market are as much as half.”

"Has your global strategy department considered business and opportunities in this area?"

Wu Tao said with general interest: "After all, the U.S. real estate market is different from that in China. In China, we can eat meat and drink soup, but we still have to stay away from the Western market. Someone proposed this idea before, but I rejected it privately."

"Why?" An Rong's curiosity suddenly rose.

This question is difficult to say, but easy to say.

Wu Tao originally planned to brush it off in a few words, but who knew that this discussion would last for a whole meal.
