Chapter 665: A Lot of Information
"An insurance company with a market value of nearly 100 billion yuan seems to have been forced into my hands. Now there are other major shareholders who are also very active and want to sell their shares to me."
"The last time I invested in Sanyao Heavy Industry, I got more than 7% of the shares with almost no effort. So far, the share price of Sanyao Heavy Industry has more than quadrupled."
"It is not hard to see that none of them have any intention of doing business properly. They lack confidence in the prospects of mainland economic development and are only busy looking for opportunities to cash out and run away with a quick buck."
Such a situation is obviously particularly favorable for Fan Wumian, as he can pick up a large number of high-quality chips at low prices.
However, what he took into consideration was that his strength was average and he was already able to thrive like a fish in water. Wouldn't it be easier for Wall Street oligarchs like BlackRock and Vanguard to make a move?
If we take a longer-term view, we can reasonably predict that once this round of US dollar tide explodes the mainland economy and the value of various assets drops sharply, foreign capital will definitely flock in and continue to pick up a large number of high-quality assets.
People in developing countries often feel that although the momentum of economic development is so good, the quality of life of themselves and those around them has not improved significantly. A large part of the reason is that the dividends of economic development have been reaped by other countries.
European and American multinational capital, led by Wall Street, is not only busy reaping the benefits of developing countries, but is even not sparing its own people.
For example, in the process of economic globalization, rich Americans have made a fortune, but ordinary Americans have lost a large number of high-paying jobs. The hollowing out of the manufacturing industry has led to lower workers' income, while the cost of living has continued to soar.
It is no wonder that the United States, which has clearly gained great benefits, always likes to act as a victim and clamors for the return of manufacturing. Ultimately, it is because there is a problem with the way the cake is divided. Wealth has been concentrated in the hands of a few people, while the quality of life of ordinary Americans has been declining.
In the 1970s and 1980s, in American families, a husband could support his wife and several children by working, and still have enough money to buy a big house. This situation is almost unheard of today.
The older generation always uses past experiences to evaluate the lives of modern young people. They use the wrong formula from the beginning and of course cannot get an accurate and fair answer.
Sometimes it’s not that young people don’t want to work hard, but that their channels for advancement have long been blocked. Even just supporting themselves is exhausting, and they have to find various forms of entertainment to numb themselves in order to maintain a difficult life.
Look at it from the perspective of the overall situation.
Fan Wumian felt that the acquisition of Xinhua Insurance Group was a lucky coincidence.
Being able to make money for yourself is only one aspect.
On the other hand, they can wait until the subprime mortgage crisis breaks out and sets off a global financial tsunami, then raise hundreds of billions of RMB in funds through companies such as the Bandit King Fund, Boshi Fund, China Merchants Bank Fund, Bank of China Fund, and Xinhua Insurance, and frantically buy up banks, securities, infrastructure, real estate, energy and other traditional companies in the mainland, and grab more market share in the mainland Internet market.
These hundreds of billions of RMB in funds are enough to act as a "ballast stone" to ensure that the mainland economy can weather the financial tsunami more smoothly.
By acquiring a large number of high-quality chips in this process, Fan Wumian himself will also be able to make a fortune and may even be able to directly reach a higher position on the Forbes rich list.
May 5th, an ordinary afternoon.
Sitting in the living room of the new courtyard house, you can enjoy the scenery inside the courtyard through the extra-large floor-to-ceiling windows. Whether it is the pond with fat koi swimming in, or the small "Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests" made of golden nanmu against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, they all look particularly pleasing to the eye.
You get what you pay for. A total of over 100 million RMB was spent on this mansion, and the experience is maximized.
Pu Jiajing was sitting next to him reading a novel, and he replied:
"Businessmen value putting their money in their pockets and not running away after making it. If their appetite is too big, they will easily lose everything, including the principal and interest."
"Oh, boss, I saw someone mention in the news that the media has started to use the term 'bandit group' to refer to your business. If it were overseas, it could barely be considered a small consortium, right? The total assets under management are more than 30 billion US dollars."
"In the past two days, there has been a lot of commotion outside your home. Many bosses want to get investment from you."
Fan Wumian said:
"Just ask them to leave the information. I'll look through it when I have time. Maybe I can really dig out some gold." "The stronger the wind, the bigger the fish. There will be more opportunities to make money in the future. I'm a little nervous now."
"Because in addition to Penguin Group and Tudou.com, and the two hedge funds on Wall Street, I have more and more assets in the mainland, which gives multinational companies another reason to find a way to get rid of me. In fact, I had a serious chat with Zhuang Muxi last night, and she agreed to let nature take its course and give birth to a baby for me."
Pu Jiajing suddenly realized:
"No wonder I helped you clean the trash can next to your bed this morning. I didn't smell any strange smell, but you already tried to make a little man. If someone is lucky enough to be reincarnated as your child, how happy it would be. It means that you have everything that others dream of right after birth, such as those big houses, private jets, and yachts. You are not like Uncle Li, who said to Miss Zhuang that you would give her a reward of 1 million Hong Kong dollars if she gave birth to a child, right?"
Fan Wumian shook his head, but said:
"With Uncle Li's wealth, he made 500 billion Hong Kong dollars from investing in Chinese stocks in the past two years. What does a 1 million Hong Kong dollar reward mean? Being born in their family is the most important thing. The child automatically obtains the right of inheritance, which will be worth at least tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in the future."
"Zhuang Muxi is filming movies, accepting advertising endorsements, and with my help in investing, she is now worth over 100 million yuan. Money is something you can't bring with you when you are born and you can't take with you when you die. I make money much faster than I spend it. I have too many assets to spend. So what if I give away a few hundred million yuan? It's good enough for everyone."
"You are not the only one who envy my child. I envy him too. As long as the little one crawls out of my belly, I will be able to win immediately. Unlike me, a first-generation rich man, I have to deal with all kinds of troubles."
Done.
He finally reacted, and added with a strange expression:
"Why are you sniffing the trash can next to my bed when you have nothing better to do? It's okay to have a weird habit. I can barely accept it. Just don't think about stealing my tadpoles and then doing something weird like artificial insemination."
Pu Jiajing was so upset that she said:
"Do you think I want to smell it? It's so smelly, how could I not smell it? Sometimes I wish my sense of smell was impaired. It's a pity that I've never even been in a relationship, but I often have to clean up your mess."
"Besides, I'm not poor enough to do that. I might as well take advantage of you getting drunk at a drinking party and then turn off the lights and go into your room. Anyway, your life is so colorful, I guess you can't tell who is who sometimes."
"Before calling their names every time, do you have to go over them in your mind first, for fear of accidentally calling the wrong person?"
"."
Pu Jiajing was right. In order to avoid accidentally calling the wrong name and causing social disgrace, Fan Wumian really couldn't completely relax while spending time with the girls.
The reason why the house has not collapsed for such a long time is mainly because of sufficient caution.
He joked:
"There are gains and losses. Although you lost your innocence, at least your salary and bonus are very high. Since I took out a mortgage to help you manage your finances, I have earned about 300,000 or 400,000 Hong Kong dollars."
"Why wait until I'm drunk for such a happy event?"
"I'll just lie still, and you can do whatever you want. Given our relationship, how can I refuse you and make you lose face in the future..."
They usually get along as half friends, and Fan Wumian has flirted with Pu Jiajing a lot. The girl is pretty, but unfortunately they know each other too well, and he hesitated many times before making a move.
I don't know whether it was because the reward of several hundred million was too much, or it happened to be a few days when she was deeply affected by hormones, but I saw that this girl was really interested and asked:
"Are you sure you're not lying to me? You really won't refuse?"
Fan Wumian raised his eyebrows and looked at her for several seconds before he slowly said:
"This question is quite sophisticated and contains a lot of information. If you don't mind me having many girlfriends, then I don't think I have a problem with that either." (End of this chapter)
