Chapter 2420: The Gu Family

If you want to detect the extent of a person's difficulties, you only need to see when he comes to you for help to know how difficult he is.

For example, a few days ago, Li Chaoren and Li Dachao mentioned that the Malaysian shipping tycoon Gu Cang'en, only 3 days later, Gu Cang'en quietly came to Rongcheng.

Modern rich people, because of their good living conditions and proper maintenance, there are definitely not a few who are still in the front line at the age of 80 or 90.

If you look at the information of the top 20 super rich in the world, at least 10 of them are over 80 years old, and the average age of the top 20 is also around 70 years old.

This is also a very normal thing.

Except for some Internet rich people who have become well-known and rich by hyping the concept of Internet and globalization, the rest of the super rich have accumulated their entire lives before finally achieving their current achievements.

Like Xiao Qi, who started from the electronic industry to the development of smart electronics, became the richest man in the world in two or three years. I dare not say that there will be no successors, but it is absolutely unprecedented-the old Rockefeller can't compare Xiao Qi, he also became the richest man in the world by accumulating his whole life.

Xiao Qi also attaches great importance to this world-class super rich man, especially the Chinese compatriots who are very friendly to China.

Although at Gu Cangen's request, he did not send a luxury car team to meet him, but after he stayed at the Rongjiang Hotel, Xiao Qi came to pay a visit to Mr. Gu as soon as possible.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, why has Huaguo been able to break through so many barriers and develop to today's achievements?

Most of the reasons are due to our strong and unremitting fighting spirit, but part of the reasons are due to the selfless donations of overseas patriotic compatriots.

yes.

You can say that people like Mr. Huo made his fortune from the great war in the 1950s, but the hardships he paid and the dangers he faced are definitely worthy of his fortune.

And compared to the money he got, our side got more. I don't know how many soldiers saved their lives because of his efforts.

Barn En didn't catch the wave in the 1950s, but in the 1970s and 1980s. When Huaguo just started to develop its economy, his fleet played a big role. He tried his best to transport some that could and could not be transported to Huaguo, and contributed a lot to the development of many technologies in Huaguo.

That is, after the end of the Soviet Union, Europe and the United States blocked China's high-tech exports, and Gu Cang'en's transportation of this kind of technology stopped, but various energy materials continued to be delivered.

On the one hand, like Mr. Huo, it is a businessman who pursues profits. On the other hand, he has not been shaken during several turbulences, so the country attaches great importance to this old man. Last time he visited Malaysia on the 1st, he also visited him specially. This is not something ordinary businessmen can get at all. honor.

Therefore, even if Gu Cang En came here in a private capacity this time, Xiao Qi would not neglect.

After entering the ordinary executive suite, Xiao Qi and Yu Shanshan saw Grann En and a middle-aged man beside him. Looks a lot like him.

Although Gu Cangen is 78 years old, he is still full of rosy face and full of energy. It looks like an old man in his sixties.

After greeting each other, Gu Cangen introduced the middle-aged man beside him. It was his second son, Gu Pinghao, the president of the Gu Group.

Xiao Qi had read the information of the Gu Group before. In the past few years, Gu Pinghao has controlled a lot of power in the Gu Group. Although most of the things are still at the helm of the chairman Gu Cangen, but his aggressiveness in new energy, Still very impressive.

In addition, over the years, Gushi Group has actively entered the supermarket retail industry. It is also Gu Pinghao's handwriting.

Compared with his eldest brother who only knows how to play female stars, eat and drink, Gu Pinghao is undoubtedly the helm of the next generation of the Gu family.

After sitting down. Gran Cang En's face was full of smiles.

In this kind of informal negotiation, Xiao Qi brought his own woman to participate in the negotiation, which is undoubtedly very important, and there is a feeling that he is willing to establish friendship with the Gu family.

But he didn't underestimate Yu Shanshan. As a non-virgin woman, being able to give birth to Xiao Qi's offspring is definitely not something that ordinary women can do.

What's more, Yu Shanshan was in charge of the headquarters affairs of Xiannv Company before, everything was well organized, her prestige was not lower than Zhou Bo, and a little higher than Xu Weihong, it was not just because she was Xiao Qi's woman.

"I have admired Qishao's name for a long time, but seeing him today, he is indeed a heroic boy, and his reputation is well-deserved!" Gu Cangen said politely, "Compared to Qishao's achievements, old man, I feel that I have spent most of my life in vain."

Although Gu Cangen's words were polite, they were sincere.

His assets are as high as 15 billion U.S. dollars, making him the richest man in Malaysia, but compared with Xiao Qi's 500 billion U.S. dollars, it is not even a fraction.

Moreover, Xiao Qiman has only been in business for 4 years with all his plans, and he, Gu Cangen, has been in business for 60 years. Comparing the two, it is indeed a judgment call.

"Mr. Gu, doing business is not all about money." Yu Shanshan chuckled and said, "Since ancient times, Huaguo has been judged by Confucian businessmen. You usually donate money, like to help others, and you have done a lot for the motherland." Many contributions, this kind of good moral demeanor are what my juniors sincerely admire, otherwise Xiao Qi would not bring me to visit you today."

"Miss Yu is absurd. My old man is just doing his duty. Speaking of which, I have made money." Gu Cangen smiled and said, "I take the liberty of visiting today. I really have something to ask, so please take a look at it." On my thin face, I will explain a thing or two to the old man."

"Mr. Gu, please tell me, I will not be vague if I can help." Xiao Qi nodded.

"Thank you, but my old man's words may not be very clear, let the kid talk about it." Gu Cang En smiled slightly.

Gu Pinghao always smiled when his father was talking. This does not mean that his character is so good, but just represents his attitude.

Seeing Xiao Qi and Yu Shanshan cast their gazes over, Gu Pinghao stood up and stood in front of the small reminder board placed next to him. Only then did Xiao Qi and Yu Shanshan notice that it was already filled with words and patterns.

"Extraordinary, Ms. Yu. As we all know, after entering the new century, our shipping industry has become a sunset industry, with low profit margins, high maintenance costs, constant rises in various marketing prices, and occasional cancellations of orders. It happened and caused us a lot of confusion. We don’t know whether we should stick to it.” Gu Pinghao said, “But the shipping industry is the business of our Gu family for a lifetime. If it is not a last resort, we will all Not willing to end the shipment."

"Understandable." Xiao Qi said clearly.

Any traditional company has its own corporate plot, and the kind of company that can abandon its own tradition at will usually does not survive for long.

"In the past few years, our profit margin has been very low. Except for the necessary expenses, the net profit is almost 3% -5%. Keep it going." Gu Pinghao said, "However, in the past two years, we have seen the trend of falling oil prices. If we can use low-priced crude oil fuel, it will have a very good effect on greatly reducing costs, and profits can at least be reduced. Increase by 5%. When the total profit reaches almost 10%, we have the strength and confidence to continue.

Last year, we actually received some theories that you were bearish on oil, but we didn’t dare to follow the three barrels of oil to buy low-priced oil. The average price of oil we finally bought was around US$80 per barrel. It is almost twice as much from the lowest point of about 30 US dollars. Speaking of which, we missed the opportunity to sell at a high price, and we also missed the opportunity to buy at a low price, but it’s all because we didn’t believe in you. "

Xiao Qi's prediction of oil prices is really admired by all gasoline futures traders and big oil users.

It is already a miracle to buy cheap oil before and then release it at the highest price.

But in March of this year, according to Xiao Qi's previous judgment, three barrels of oil and China Aviation Oil spent a huge amount of money. When the lowest price was 30 US dollars, they spent a total of nearly 500 billion US dollars. A large amount of oil was injected, and the price of oil soared by more than 30% in just two weeks.

Now it is the end of May, and the oil price has already returned to a high of more than 50 US dollars. From the book calculation, the three barrels of oil and China Aviation Oil have made a profit of nearly 70%, which really makes the domestic oil institutions rejoice.

Originally, the Gu Group wanted to buy with them, but they were too careful at the critical moment, and thought they could wait and see.

As a result, I waited and waited until the current price of more than 50 US dollars did not dare to buy it. The more the price increased, the more I dared not buy it, which was very embarrassing.

The Gu Group made a mistake in not trusting Xiao Qi, thinking that Xiao Qi was lucky to be right on the oil trend once, and he was right twice, but he will never be right all the time.

Because it is obvious that with the spread of the financial crisis, everyone believes that after the price of oil is 30 US dollars, there is still room for further decline, and it is not impossible to fall below 20 US dollars.

But it turns out that they were all wrong. After entering the 30-dollar mark, with the help of Huaguo's oil companies and other major companies, oil has been rising all the way, and it has never fallen at all.

The Gu Group intends to buy some cheap petroleum products for Sanbarou and China Aviation Oil, but Sanbaru and China Aviation Oil will no longer sell oil, because their oil will be used for their own operations, and more More strategic reserves - the super-large oil storage depots built in Shandong, Liaodong and other places were not built for fun.
