Chapter 2216 Invitation

"Yes, if we calculate it this way, it may take more than a year, but it is also possible that we will find the problem in less time,"

"Even if it takes more than a year for us to find the problem, it does not mean that we cannot invest, but that we should be more cautious and do more preparation work when investing abroad,"

"In the investment terms, the response to some bad situations that may occur in the future should be more detailed,"

"Of course, it is best to postpone some investments for a while," Feng Yiping also stood up.

"We can do a simple calculation. These investments that are being planned will definitely not be able to make nearly double the profit by the end of next year, but if my judgment is correct, I really believe that my judgment will not be wrong," Feng Yiping emphasized again.

"If the US financial system is in crisis, these investments are likely to lose only 10% or 20% of their value,"

"Waiting for more than a year and reducing the loss by 70% or 80%, I think this is a very cost-effective deal,"

"Besides, we have not waited in vain for more than a year. We can investigate all aspects of the investment target in more detail,"

"I acquired Netflix for only about 2.5 billion, but we spent nearly two years preparing for this acquisition,"

"I think that for our state-owned enterprise, such an acquisition of only more than 2 billion US dollars is definitely a piece of cake. I think that even if we don't consider the possible financial risks, in the spirit of being responsible to the country, it is completely necessary for us to prepare for large-scale investment projects for a longer time,"

He clearly remembered that when he read the post and checked the information online, he found that the preparation time for the project of Chalco's investment in Rio Tinto, which was worth tens of billions of US dollars and nearly 100 billion RMB, was only three months!

Three months!

You know, their annual profit is less than 10 billion.

Under such circumstances, it only took three months to finalize an investment of up to 100 billion.

And "only three months" is the focus of their publicity. Look, we only took three months to successfully complete a lightning acquisition.

How about it, we are awesome, aren't we awesome!

It was not until later that they realized that their original actions were equivalent to a powerful interpretation of what it means to be sold and still help others count money.

President Zhou, who always smiles, now has a serious face. He looks at the high-rise buildings in front of him, "The duty of a businessman is to make money."

Feng Yiping was still waiting for him to continue, but saw him sit back again.

Is that it, half of the words?

But he thought about it and immediately understood that the president was really embarrassed to say the rest of the sentence.

Although the duty of a businessman is to make money, there are definitely exceptions. Their ability is to spend money.

In the case that it is difficult to achieve growth by relying on the original business, only by spending money on mergers and acquisitions and expanding the scale of business can they avoid being reorganized and keep their future.

So, whether there will be losses in the future is not the focus of their concern.

Feng Yiping could think of this. Frankly speaking, if he were put in the position of those people, he might do the same. The butt determines the head.

But those things in his bones made him a little stubborn at this time.

Since 1992, he has not been a person who only cares about himself.

"I just saw some data. The profits handed over by central enterprises last year were 335.8 billion. According to the average exchange rate of 7.8 with the US dollar last year, it is about 43 billion US dollars."

"I am not exaggerating. If we are not cautious in the future, the results of the hard work of tens of millions of central enterprise employees year after year may all be in vain."

"Thank you Yiping," the president stood up, shook hands with him very solemnly, and said "thank you" again.

"Thank you for your concern and reminder in the field of state-owned investment,"

He knew that Feng Yiping could stay out of it and put all his thoughts on making money from this opportunity.

Taking the initiative to talk to him about this matter did take a big risk. For example, if the subsequent development is not what he predicted, it will inevitably affect his image in the minds of some people.

Moreover, he might be hated by the big bosses of state-owned enterprises because of this.

"This is what I should do," Feng Yiping said.

Although he also knew that non-interference was the best choice, it was really difficult for him to stay out of such things.

President Zhou saw the frankness in Feng Yiping's eyes, he smiled again, patted Feng Yiping on the shoulder, "I have to go back,"

"I'll take you there,"

Obviously, the president listened to what he said.

That's enough.

…………

In the garage, President Zhou's secretary sat in the car and looked at the watch anxiously. It was agreed to be half an hour, and now it was almost an hour.

Finally, the president came out of the elevator, "President, and..."

The president hurriedly got in the car, "Go back to the office,"

"But, and..."

"All the original trips are cancelled," the president said.

"Okay," the secretary was puzzled, but he still executed it immediately.

But, what's the big deal?

After returning to the office, the president talked with several groups of people. The central topic was that the US-based institutions should be fully mobilized to conduct in-depth research on the current situation of the US economy, especially the financial industry.

After that, he personally called the heads of various state-owned banks. The central content was just a suggestion, hoping that the overseas branches of each bank would be more cautious when lending to foreign companies.

As the head of the central bank, he considered the problem more comprehensively than Feng Yiping.

If such a crisis really occurs, it is conceivable that many companies will go bankrupt. If our bank's overseas branches happen to provide loan support to those companies, won't it cause losses again?

However, because the reasons supporting this decision are not strong enough at present, he can only remind them in the form of suggestions on the phone.

After that, he called someone and told him personally, "Yiping has newly established a fund with a scale of 4 billion US dollars. You go and check the investment direction of his fund."

"Only report this matter to me."

He believed that knowing Feng Yiping's investment direction might find loopholes in the US financial system.

As for what to do next, we will talk about it later.

But the president understands one thing, there are some things that Feng Yiping and others can do, but the country cannot do - so today, Feng Yiping has always only called him "teacher".

For example, in the financial crisis in 1997, although there were many American funds stirring up trouble, if the US government's sovereign fund also took the opportunity to enter the market to make profits, the nature would change, and it would be essentially equivalent to an invasion.

So, he understood how much determination Feng Yiping had made to take the initiative to talk to him about this issue.

In addition, this also shows how much trust and support he has for his teacher, who actually has not taught him for a few days, or for the country.

What is a pure child's sentiment, this is it.

…………

During dinner, Feng Yiping unexpectedly received a call from the president, "Teacher,"

"Yiping, there is such a thing, in view of the increasing amount of foreign exchange reserves, we are preparing to establish a foreign exchange investment company with a registered capital of 200 billion US dollars,"

I go, what Heitu said to Xiao Cui was indeed rough but true, your uncle is always your uncle.

The country has invested 200 billion US dollars.

Not to mention him, even Bill Gates and Buffett put together are not enough.

When can the two of you come up with 200 billion US dollars to invest?

"I believe you know the purpose of establishing this company,"

Feng Yiping naturally knows that foreign exchange reserves of over one trillion are naturally a good thing, but there will also be some problems. For example, once the US dollar depreciates, our assets will shrink severely.

And the depreciation of the US dollar is a regular occurrence.

So of course we have to find a way to keep it valuable.

"The management team of this company is currently being prepared. I would like to ask you if you are interested in holding a position in it?"

"You have some talents and need such a platform. I believe that with people like you who have good vision joining, this company that the country has spent a lot of effort to establish will definitely develop more steadily,"

"Of course, you will definitely not be asked to work in the office and will not take up too much of your time. In fact, I really want to do this, but given your actual situation, this is obviously impossible,"

Feng Yiping certainly cannot abandon everything and go to this company to be a supervisor, even if he is the CEO.

If you are used to being your own boss, who would be patient enough to be controlled?

“So I wonder if you are interested in a position like a consultant?”
