Chapter 522 521 Business
Zhang Haonan is not keen on financial derivatives. He is not addicted to them. He just goes there when he has no money.
Sometimes he goes a lot, sometimes he goes a little.
But in general, because of international trade, he has a very good impression in all the international financial investment institutions with Chinese characters and Chinese characters in the country.
After all, the "trade dollars" in China for a long time have been in Hong Kong.
Of course, it is not just in China. The "trade dollars" of all developed countries will gradually anchor here. After all, this is the inevitable result of the exchange of commodities and materials brought about by industrial volume.
Industrial raw materials must go from here; general industrial products must come from here.
Therefore, Zhang Haonan and Chuanpu's little game certainly involves playing a few games on Wall Street and asking the members of the Financial Derivatives Hall of Fame to help press the keyboard, but in Hong Kong, Zhang Haonan will play more.
After all, the demand for dollars is much lower.
At the same time, in Edo, Zhang Haonan has saved a lot of Japanese dollars in the past year or so, which he can't spend at all. Through Kuba Yasi San, he also plans to play in Edo.
As for the euro, let alone, he wanted to buy a five-axis linkage mainframe but it was not sold. The price was already 20 million euros, and all kinds of embargo agreements were thrown directly in Zhang Haonan's face.
You fucking...
No? Are you still a human being if you don't?
For this matter, Pavlov Jr. also lent Zhang Haonan 5 million pounds. It is reasonable for a son to honor his father.
Zhang Haonan also borrowed some people from the old man who retired from the former Ministry of Light Industry in Suzhou. The Bank of China in Liangjiang Province and the Bank of China also formed a group. The Bank of China went to Europe and the Bank of China went to Wall Street.
The overseas institution under the Gezhouba Group took over Zhang Haonan's commission. In short, it seems to be irrelevant.
Ding Yong knows how much money there is, but it has no impact on the "Shashi Group". Anyway, if the big boss loses, it is just losing the existing cash, and he can afford it.
The remaining executives, including Yu Xiaolong and Zhou Quanquan, only know that the boss has nothing to do and goes to the stock market to buy leeks, but they don't know that the leeks are a bit strange.
On the 23rd, I took Chuanfu to play golf on Chongshan Island in Shacheng. After having fun, I let him experience the role-playing of "Lanling Palace".
To be honest, if Lanling King really looks like this, he probably has to wear a mask.
The masters of Qinglong Temple were invited by Boss Zhang to open the eyes again and again. Although they explained many times that there was no business of opening the eyes, and persuaded Boss Zhang to believe in science, Zhang Haonan said that he had three pairs of twin children, which could not be explained by science.
The bald heads were all shocked.
When Chuanfu found out, he was also extremely shocked: Wang Defa?
At the same time, he envied Zhang Haonan's extremely harmonious "harem" life, and admired Zhang Haonan's fearless spirit in property management.
He lost a lot of money in his divorce a few years ago...
"This pig farm is great, really great. How big is it?"
"It is an oversized pig farm with 10,000 pigs. It has a very high self-sustaining capacity and a complete feed production plant and manure treatment plant."
"Do you have four pig farms like this?"
"There will be eight this year, but they are all small businesses."
Zhang Haonan introduced him to "Daqiao Food" by the way. "In addition to SF Group, DF Company will be the second food group in the future. The potential of single-category snacks is more than 500 million."
"Wang Defa?"
"Among the dozens of products, at least five have already met such conditions. The rest is just time."
Visiting "Daqiao Food", followed by the layout of the entire modern agricultural development zone, there is obviously also real estate potential here, but Chuanpu is not stupid, this is not suitable for him.
However, at this point, he already knows that Zhang Haonan's strength is very terrifying, and it cannot be measured by how much money he has.
Because this guy actually has his own dedicated dock and a logistics center, and at the same time... the elevated highway next to the logistics center is actually a "logistics line"!
"Siegel, are you that kind of... I mean, you know, that kind of big shot, a family member of an absolute big shot?"
"No, I was just a farmer before, and occasionally worked as a fisherman."
"..."
Receiving Chuanpu was a private act, so other members who were engaged in business did not know the specific situation. In fact, Ray Crawford was willing to bring him along only because Chuanpu's middle name was "John".
The middle name is often the name of an outstanding person in the family, or it is to commemorate someone.
Ray Crawford had cooperated with John in the earthquake resistance research of large structures a long time ago, of course, including "Sean", one of the five founders of NASA, the only Chinese, and a "god" in the eyes of engineers all over the world.
Maybe a little exaggerated, but not too exaggerated, because in fact, the subsequent large-scale system engineering basically used "Sean's" theory.
Airplanes, rockets, cars, ships...
However, because John died early, many relationships in the scientific community could not be well passed on to the younger generation.
Moreover, Wharton School of Business may be strong, but it is not enough to shake Ray Crawford at all.
If you have that much free time, you might as well drill a hole in the earth to check the year.
In general, Zhang Haonan is so smooth in his pretense now, in addition to having very strong financial resources and huge assets, but in the final analysis, the right to bark comes from the intangible status of this academic exchange visit.
Just like Kissinger, the little Jewish old man’s masterpiece, there will always be only that one trip to China, this is the tangible and intangible power in the world of the strong.
The world is material after all.
"The electronic product manufacturing industry here is not well developed. If we really want to make mobile terminals, Siegel, we have to start from scratch."
"No, no, no, this is just a small city, and we have many options. About 70 kilometers from here, there will be another small city, where the largest laptop OEM manufacturer in Liuqiu is located. It will not be too difficult to build a new assembly plant. You can inspect it for three consecutive days and you will know that I am not lying to you."
"But there will be another problem, who to sell it to."
"Tang, we make relatively cheap mobile phones. Three hundred or four hundred dollars? This is worth a try in Latin America, and the growth rate in this region is very amazing. I believe that Philip and Simons cannot completely eat up the entire market."
Then, Zhang Haonan smiled and said, "And you, Tang, you have TV media channels, right? Maybe you can try to cooperate with the New York Telephone Company. Contract phones are also a good business."
In fact, the New York Telephone Company merged with Bell last year to form the new "Atlantic Bell", and completed another merger, which already had the main framework of Verizon Telecom.
Chuanfu's hotel and real estate business has a good cooperation with the early New York Telephone Company. If he really wants to get involved, this is a very good opportunity.
In short, it has its own advertising effect. He has TV programs and some other entertainment assets. For telecommunications companies, sponsorship is a long-term advertisement.
Finally, if Chuanfu comes to contact the "old people" of the New York Telephone Company, the kickbacks can be given easily and smoothly.
Zhang Haonan just suggested, and did not really say that he must enter the North American market. In fact, in the conservative market strategy, America has always used the market as a weapon in the high value-added field.
This high value-added is not only various electronic products, but all agricultural products, industrial products, and service projects you can imagine... As long as it can be highly value-added, it will be cut by the oligarchs of all walks of life in America.
Among them, all the physical industrial-related products of Germany have been cut for tens of billions and hundreds of billions, from electrical equipment, large industrial equipment to general household consumer products such as household appliances and automobiles, without exception, have been harvested.
Just this year, Simons was cut for hundreds of millions.
Therefore, Zhang Haonan did not dream of directly entering the North American market. If Chuanfu had the ability to get a contract phone cooperation with the mainstream telecommunications companies in America, it would definitely be the best. If not, it didn't matter.
It would be enough to sell 1.8 million cheap mobile phones in Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Southeast Asia. It would be better than nothing.
With Zhang Haonan's reminder, the golden-haired old man's thinking suddenly diverged. You know, because of the national system, the autonomy of the states in America is relatively high, so there are a large number of small telecommunications operators in the local area, with a total number of over 100.
Therefore, the golden-haired old man was thinking about whether to adopt a wide-net strategy and sign more small operators, so that the total number of contract phones should be considerable.
The most important point is that he has also obtained an entry ticket to the high-tech field, instead of investing in high-tech concept stocks...
Mobile terminal equipment may be the most integrated high-tech product that a modern person can come into contact with in his lifetime.
After all, the original purpose of this thing was to fight wars.
"So, Siegel, who should the product brand belong to?"
"Of course it's the investor, Tang."
With a smile on his face, Zhang Haonan knew that it was time to "talk business". "We need to bring some friends in. Of course, if someone has made more efforts, they should get a bigger piece of the pie."
Hearing what Zhang Haonan said, the golden-haired old man's eyes lit up. He actually liked to make quick money, but this was a good opportunity to enter the high-tech industry circle.
The favor brought by his deceased uncle may disappear in a few years. If he misses this opportunity, he may really have no chance.
It's really meaningless to be a minion in the "old money" circle.
And the "new money" obviously won't welcome him casually. As I said, Wharton Business School is strong, but it's not enough.
Even if you drop out of MIT or Harvard, you are still a part of MIT or Harvard.
In China, Zhang Haonan doesn't play tricks, and he doesn't bother to avoid taxes. When it comes to taxes, even a fly will slip when it lands on it, so there is basically no big problem. Of course, the premise is that you have the right to bark.
Going abroad is not the same thing. You must use a complex equity structure, and the taxes between states in America are different. The same tax in California and Texas may differ by 11 points. Conversely, different standards are implemented for another tax.
The complexity of taxes itself requires a large number of accounting teams, professional, and a team.
At the same time, in terms of tax avoidance strategies, America has a very complex strategy combination. Basically, the value-added of the tertiary industry derivative services other than the secondary industry is mainly here.
The key point of seeing a tooth cost ten thousand or eight thousand lies in the extremely large and complex insurance system behind it, which is the same principle.
For a traditional industrialist like Zhang Haonan, the North American market is actually an investment black hole. Unless he changes his clothes, converts to God, and takes as his wife the daughter of a pastor or a scholar from a prestigious university alliance, then he can go sideways.
It can even be said that with the current domestic regional influence of "Satisfied Food Group", if it is exchanged for the same amount in America, as long as Zhang Haonan accepts and embraces the "old money", under the operation of capital, "Saudi Food Group" will become a global player next year. The third or fourth largest grain merchant.
International hot money seeks a safe haven, and this money eventually flows to the manufacturing industry that has never been in America. After experiencing the last wave of shipbuilding frenzy at the end of the last century, a large number of shipyards directly came to an end.
The end of the shipyard is actually nothing. The key is the supporting enterprises. Since last year, for example, the equipment and orders that the whole family obtained from America, such as Kubayasisang, which was cooperated by Wonu and Zhang Haonan, have been scheduled for five years.
The same situation applies to hundreds of large and small shipyards along the river. Of course, 70 to 80 percent of them will be dead in a few years. This is a story for another day.
But one thing is clear, regardless of whether it is hundreds of billions or trillions, the money going to the safe haven in North America is either debt or stocks, and very little goes to the manufacturing industry.
Naturally, there is a reason for making quick money, and the root lies in high value-added manufacturing. America has never allowed foreign capital to get involved, even if it is an ally, let alone Chinese capital.
Even Apple, which seems to be on the verge of burping in recent years, has not been allowed to get involved by European "old money". There is no way.
You can give money, but you won’t be allowed to touch Apple computers.
Of course, there must be ways to get around it. The complex ownership structure, which you try to trick me into trying to trick you into, is not uncontrollable, but it is very difficult and can easily be investigated by the American Ministry of Commerce.
So usually, it is the local "old money" in North America who brings the "old money" in Europe to play together, and it is clear who gets the big head and who gets the small head.
When necessary, Europe's "old money" can lead the way in competition in key areas, so there are not a few independent companies that have been dismembered.
The business Zhang Haonan is negotiating with the golden-haired old man is actually not big. It costs tens of millions of dollars. This is also the golden-haired old man's current limit.
In terms of total assets, the golden-haired old man may still be above Zhang Haonan, but when it comes to paying for cash, Zhang Haonan is three times ahead of him.
Of course, the two sides have different thinking modes. Zhang Haonan does not have a deep relationship with the bank. Ninety-nine percent of what the golden-haired old man wants is to get money from the bank, and then go bankrupt if the war goes against him.
"To be honest, I don't have much confidence in simply selling products..."
In fact, he is similar to Zhang Haonan. The golden-haired old man doesn't particularly like business that requires a lot of work, which will take up a lot of his fun time.
"Before Christmas, I can introduce you to Volodya's friends."
"???????"
After being stunned for a few seconds, the old golden-haired man asked in an uncertain tone, "Sigel, you mean, you know, the Kremlin?"
"Yes, Don."
Zhang Haonan looked very relaxed, "What we have to do is to think about the brand name of this mobile terminal, and then build a building named after this brand in Mozge."
"It's not that I don't believe you, Siegel, you know, I just want to see it with my own eyes..."
"Then leave it to time, time will tell everything. Before that, let's focus on doing the current things well. If our cooperation goes well, I think I can even introduce the finishing project of 'Ryugyong Hotel' to you."
"..."
At this moment, facing the extremely confident and relaxed Zhang Haonan, Donald admired him from the bottom of his heart. What was reflected in his eyes was not Zhang Haonan of China, but Benjamin Franklin, whom he respected greatly.
