Chapter 545 Threat

"If we want to build a factory, how should we do it? Joint venture?" Fan Heng thought of this question and asked his son.

"It doesn't have to be a joint venture. We can get technology licensing." Fan Wubing explained to Fan Heng, "After all, if you want to do a joint venture, it is relatively troublesome, but if you start your own business, it will be much simpler."

For the development of the automobile industry, the domestic government still hopes that a large number of enterprises with independent intellectual property rights will emerge. Many joint ventures that have been put into production in the past ten years have not brought complete manufacturing technology to China. At best, they are OEM factories of overseas companies in China. There are many restrictions and no room for free development.

Now, the government has also understood one thing, that is, joint ventures have not brought advanced technology to China, so in recent times, the concept of independence has begun to rise again.

Now Jiangnan Province is not short of funds, and it also has resource advantages. If it obtains Fan Wubing's support and technology use authorization, it is very likely to form a large-scale independent car production base, which is what the top leaders are happy to see, and Fan Heng's own status is there, it is easy to get all kinds of relationships and build a factory.

After talking for a while, the father and son stopped talking about this topic. After all, there is still a long way to go before it can become a reality. There is no need to talk about it in detail now.

Fan Heng asked Fan Wubing, "Fan Ting is getting married this time. How do you think you should handle it?"

"You don't need to worry about this matter. Anyway, it should be lively and high-end, and it will not cause any negative impact on you." Fan Wubing assured his father.

In fact, Fan Heng has been having a headache about this matter. Fan Ting is his daughter, so her marriage is related to him. If it is a big wedding, it will easily cause gossip, but if it is not a big wedding, it will not match Fan Ting's status. After all, she is also the CEO of a large company with an annual income of tens of billions.

Although most of the shares of S are held by Fan Wubing, Fan Wubing also said that this company will definitely be given to his elder sister Fan Ting as a dowry in the future. Even if the company is worth hundreds of billions of RMB, it is nothing in Fan Wubing's eyes, not to mention that except for his own efforts at the beginning, Fan Ting has been managing the company in China for so many years, so it is reasonable to give it to her.

In fact, Fan Wubing has already considered that this wedding gift to his elder sister Fan Ting is 60% of the shares of S that he holds. In this way, his elder sister holds 80% of the shares of S, and the other 20% of the shares are held by his elder brother Fan Kang.

Now Fan Wubing's stall is too big,

so some industries need to be split. He plans to give S, which has great development potential, to his elder sister Fan Ting, and give the LCD factory to his elder brother Fan Kang. These two factories are enough to ensure that they will be among the top figures on the Forbes list.

As for himself, Fan Wubing was actually having a headache about how to deal with so much money. When he returned to China before, he roughly calculated that he had about 300 billion US dollars in assets, but after a few years, this wealth has increased many times. If the stocks held by major companies are counted, it must have exceeded the trillion US dollar mark.

However, stocks are too watery and sometimes unreliable, but if converted, 600 billion US dollars is unstoppable.

However, it should also be noted that some of the projects invested by Fan Wubing now have good development potential. For example, the projects invested in Indonesia will be of great use in the future, while the projects cooperated with Soros in the Korean and Japanese stock markets are fast-in-fast-out models, with a profit scale of only a few hundred billion yuan.

Although Fan Wubing agreed to give Habibie 50 billion US dollars in economic aid, this 50 billion was not given for free. He did not want the economic control of Indonesia, but he had taken away almost all of Indonesia's mineral resources. Good things were constantly transported to China by sea. In this era of increasing resource shortage and rising prices, mineral resources are easier to maintain or increase in value than gold.

He was just thinking about this when the headquarters called and said that the Chinese embassy in Indonesia was contacting him. Habibie had something to discuss with him and wanted to talk through the embassy's confidential line.

Fan Wubing was a little puzzled, but since Habibie wanted to contact him through the embassy's phone, it obviously meant that this matter was more important and sensitive, and it was not appropriate for too many people to know, so he agreed, and then contacted Jiang Lue of the Security Department, hoping to borrow their confidential line to talk.

Jiang Lue naturally had no objection. In fact, he also wanted to know what the new president of Indonesia wanted to say to Fan Wubing, so he sent someone to pick up Fan Wubing.

"What's going on so mysteriously?" Fan Heng asked curiously.

"Business, overseas business." Fan Wubing answered and was about to go out.

Fan Heng stopped him and asked, "Are you going home for dinner tonight?"

"It depends on the situation. I'll call home later." Fan Wubing replied and got in the car and went straight to the Security Department.

Jiang Lue hadn't seen Fan Wubing for a long time. After they met, they exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then the technical department said that the communication line had been arranged.

After Fan Wubing answered the phone, he began to talk to Habibie.

Habibie was very straightforward and expressed the hope that Fan Wubing would pay the promised 20 billion US dollars in aid funds as soon as possible.

"According to the agreement, it should be three months later, right?" Fan Wubing asked with a frown.

The 50 billion US dollars in aid funds were not to be given to the Habibie government all at once, but for about half a year in total, so Fan Wubing felt very strange. Could it be that Indonesia's recent economic recovery measures were not well implemented and additional investment was needed?

Habibi replied, "The most unstable factor in the country now is the military. I urgently need to add 20 billion yuan to stabilize the military and make a batch of military purchases to shut up the mouths of senior military generals. In addition, I need to continue to stimulate the domestic economy. Both of these tasks cost a lot of money, so I hope Mr. Fan can pay the money in advance."

"It's not impossible to give you money in advance, but our domestic public opinion has recently been very dissatisfied with the military's participation in anti-Chinese riots, so the pressure on my side is also relatively large. After all, I am based in the country and can't do too outrageous, otherwise there will be a big mess." Fan Wubing said after a pause.

"What do you mean?" Habibi certainly didn't believe that Fan Wubing had no money to give him, but he didn't know what exchange conditions Fan Wubing wanted. After all, the previous conditions, although they didn't bankrupt his government, also let Fan Wubing take advantage of it. The economic loss was not large, but the loss in strategic significance was quite large.

Fan Wubing replied, "I mean, someone has to pay for this."

Habibi was silent after hearing this. He spent a lot of effort to appease the military. If he wanted to investigate the officers who participated in the planning of the anti-Chinese riots in May, he might have to offend some people, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

However, Fan Wubing said a few more words, "These people are the forces of your opponents. If they are not banned in time, it will only be bad for your future development. While the military needs your money now, why don't you make up your mind to get rid of them? There will be no such good opportunities in the future. Another point is that if these people have greater power in the future, will they ask you to settle the previous things? So I advise you that if you want to be a politician, sometimes you need to be ruthless."

After hesitating for a while, Habibi finally decided that he had to deal with the current situation well before he could say anything in the future. So if he wanted to get money from Fan Wubing, he had to act according to his wishes.

Isn't it just arresting some people? They were all middle and lower-level officers, and it would not matter if they were arrested or killed, so Habibie agreed and said to Fan Wubing, "I will let you see the results within a week, but I hope the funds will arrive as soon as possible, otherwise the financial pressure on my side will be very great."

"That's no problem, I'll get you 2 billion US dollars to solve your urgent needs first." Fan Wubing said very generously.

After the two people finished talking, Fan Wubing ordered his men to start transferring money to Habibie's overseas account.

After watching Fan Wubing finish arranging these things, Jiang Lue asked curiously, "Mr. Fan, what Habibie told you is to deal with the mastermind behind the anti-Chinese riots in May?"

"Yes." Fan Wubing nodded and said, "Good and evil will eventually be rewarded. Since they dared to do it at that time, they should be aware of the consequences now. Besides, it would feel more satisfying to let Indonesians kill Indonesians, right? Things that can be done with money are always more effective than blindly condemning, right?"

After listening, Jiang Lue couldn't help but give a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Mr. Fan has a way. I admire you, I admire you!"

Fan Wubing smiled and shook his head and said, "It's not that I have a way, but money can make the gods. If there is no money, the president is just a tool at the mercy of others."
