Chapter 1003 There Are Always Many Difficult Choices

“Naturally, Wu Bing is not willing to invest in Yangshan Port, because many projects are really taking up money.

Although Fan Wubing himself has money, and the total amount of interest-free loans issued in Indonesia and Russia exceeds 100 billion US dollars, there is a huge return. Even if this part of the money cannot be recovered in the end, Fan Wubing will This money can be earned back through cooperation with the Indonesian government or the Russian government, and it is very easy.

But if he wants to invest in Yangshan Port, Fan Wubing can't make it worthwhile no matter how hard he calculates. This is just throwing money into it. In addition to being called a money-burning prodigal. I really can't see anything worthy of recognition.

If there is no such thing as Hengshan Port, then in order to build a first-class hub port in East China, the only option is Shanghai Port. But now the situation is completely different. The conditions here at Hengshan Port are very good, and the economy of Donghai Province is The conditions are also improving actively. More importantly, this place is completely under the control of Fan Wubing. If it is easy to develop, there is no need to go to Yangshan Port to develop.

Although the investment in Yangshan Port sounds scary, it is an investment of more than 120 billion, but if it is converted into US dollars. That’s just over 150 billion US dollars. Compared with Fan Wubing’s investments in Russia and Indonesia, it’s just a drizzle.

However, as Fan Wubing said, he has no reason to invest heavily in Shanghai. If he invests so much money just for the sake of Tong Yushan's relationship, the return will not be able to meet his expectations at all. After all, Tong Yushan does not No direct benefit can be derived from this investment.

Even if this project is completed, the beneficiary will definitely not be Tong Yushan. Fan Wubing has no interest in making wedding clothes for others, and his expectations for the prospects of the Shanghai Gang are not good. Of course, I am even less willing to join an investment project that takes such a long time.

Now Fan's headquarters has been staying in Shanghai, simply because of the convenience of being one of the international financial centers and the attraction of various preferential conditions. As for the sense of belonging, there is really nothing. Relatively speaking, he has It will definitely not be the most emotional city in the country.

ocean.

In Fan Wubing's view, the state's policy support and financial investment in Shanghai over the past few decades has really failed to make ends meet compared with the returns it has received. It has nothing more than created a one-sided situation at the Yangtze River estuary. It is just an illusion of prosperity, but the status of this international financial center is actually very watery.

Shanghai has always been a paradise for adventurers, and this has not changed until now. There are countless capital operations and countless insider transactions. There are also numerous interest disputes, official strife, and even feuds between wealthy families, all of which are vividly staged here.

To say that Fan Wubing has feelings for Shanghai Bo,

That's nonsense. After all, he has stayed here for several years and has many stories here. For example, the first time he met Shen Ying was also here. From the bottom of his heart, he hopes that Shanghai can enter a healthy development stage. channel, but seeing some of the things and practices here now, he is always a little unhappy. It is no wonder that he is lukewarm on the Yangshan Port matter.

But there were so many people who were thinking about Fan Wubing. Even the number one manager called him and asked him what he thought of the Yangshan Port project and whether he had any intention to invest.

Fan Wubing seemed a little hesitant about the question of the number one commander who also came from Shanghai. After all, the relationship between the number one commander and him has always been very good, and he should give him face, but he also noticed that even if Chief No. 1 himself also had doubts about this huge investment in the Yangshan Port project.

After all, it is a large-scale project with an investment of hundreds of billions, and it is also an overseas port construction that requires a lot of risks. The success or failure cannot be just based on the words of experts. If the project fails in your own hands, you will not be responsible for it. In terms of face, You can't get through it.

Therefore, after Fan Wubing thought about it for a while, he said to Captain No. 1, "I have also heard some discussions about this project. From the current point of view, the risk is too great and the return is too low, even if a deep-water port is really built. The investment in a cross-sea bridge is nearly 10 billion. It is difficult to imagine when the investment will be recovered. You must know that this project alone will take ten or even twenty years to complete, but the service life of a bridge will be long. How long? How long is the service life of the port? Considering all the circumstances, I feel that I cannot find the reason for investing in Yangshan Port.

"I heard that many foreign investors are very interested in this project?" After listening to Fan Wubing's words, the number one officer said. He asked again.

"This is true." Fan Wubing nodded and admitted, "Even if it is a foreign investment in a large project invested by Zhu B, it will take multiple companies to have the courage to share it. And we should also see another point. Many foreign investors are Those who use capital means to operate, after all, actually spend money from banks. They do not have much financial pressure, but the returns they receive are much lower than those of the Huihai Municipal Government or the central government. If I can draw a conclusion about the huge subsidies, it is too large and inappropriate.”

After hearing this, the number one commander did not respond for a long time. After a long time, he said, "Well, I understand."

After hanging up the phone. Fan Wubing himself was scratching his head a little. He knew that the number one commander had probably come forward in person but didn't get the answer he hoped for. He probably wouldn't be very happy in his heart. He had offended a large number of people this time.

Then Fan Wubing also knew one thing very well, that is, although he had a lot of money, he couldn't stand up to everyone coming to ask for alms. If he didn't have the money, then he would be nothing. He should show some of his attitude appropriately and be brave enough to deal with senior officials. Saying no is the way to go.

After all, as a business tycoon with a very profound influence overseas and an entrepreneur who owns a large number of real industries in various parts of the country, his status can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai, and not many people will hold a grudge against him because of the failure to reach an agreement on investment. , after all, there are many investment opportunities, and you may not be able to guarantee that every project will meet Fan Wubing’s discernment.

Especially the projects that were rejected by Fan Wubing basically didn't end well. This was something that both the top management and the Shanghai Municipal Government were worried about. Everyone didn't have much confidence in this project. Now Fan Wubing gave If you refuse, then there will be no chance.

At this time, many people had the same idea, that this project was probably a mistake.

Anyway. Fan Wubing still felt that the Shanghai Gang officials were somewhat dissatisfied with him. This was unimaginable before, but now there are indeed such signs.

For example, in the recent high-end talks held in Shanghai, no invitations were sent to Fan Wubing. The symposium organized by the central government, which is always sent to Fan Wubing every year during National Day, made an exception this year and did not invite Fan Wubing.

"These people are really stingy." Fan Wubing didn't take it seriously. He just felt that some people were really narrow-minded and could not achieve big things.

Now that he has nothing to do here, Fan Wubing can easily hook up with Shen Ying. The two of them finally have time to go on a tour of ten European countries. For this activity, they have been waiting for a long time. .

While sitting on the plane, Shen Ying held Fan Wubing's face and asked him, "Why didn't you agree to invest in Yangshan Port? It's only more than 10 billion, but it's not a drop of rain for you? It's causing such a fuss now. You look so disgraced, everyone is going to the Great Hall of the People to celebrate, but you have to go to Europe to relax, is it worth it? "

Fan Wubing frowned and pulled Shen Ying's hand to make his face look normal before retorting. "Of course you don't know the rules here. I will keep a low profile for about two years.

"Why?" Shen Ying asked with some confusion.

"I'm afraid Lao Zhang's health has not been well recently," Fan Wubing explained to Shen Ying.

If you want to elect someone for the whole. Most people would say that the person with the greatest influence in the domestic political arena is the elder, not the number one commander who currently holds the most power.

Fan Wubing himself is the most promising young genius of the elder. It can be said that the development of the entire Fan family in the country is still closely related to the relationship between Fan Wubing and the elder, especially when Fan Wubing has many After saving the elder at a life-or-death situation for the first time, this connection became even closer, basically rising from a friend relationship to a quasi-family relationship.

Therefore, everyone pays special attention to Fan Wubing. There is still this layer of hidden connections.

But at this time, I am afraid that Lao Chang's body will no longer be able to support this year. This has caused some changes in some people's ideas. They want to maximize their influence in a short period of time so that Lao Chang will be able to survive in the future. During his absence, he made his strongest voice in the political arena.

Although the big project of Yangshan Port has its own needs. It is indeed a major move to transform the environment for the development of Shanghai Port, but Fan Wubing's lobbying can be seen as a tentative attack, trying to completely destroy this youngest and most wealthy young man. Pull into your own camp. Let Fan Investment Group become the economic pillar of a small group.

Fan Wubing was obviously a little entangled in this. If he compromised, he would naturally be able to go smoothly in the past two years. If he refused, You Er Neng would encounter some suppression.

It's just that Fan Wubing is very clear about the future direction, so he can only keep a low profile for two years, which is considered dormant. After all, Fan's limelight is so strong now, and he really needs to restrain himself, otherwise it will be difficult to adapt to the development of this era. .

My attitude at Yangshan Port is really a dilemma.
