Chapter 379 Super Investment
Chapter 379 Super Investment
At the Berlin Grand Hotel, Ye Xiaoyang hosted a banquet for General Nickel, the commander of the United States stationed in the German Empire.
The two chatted for two hours and had a great time.
Before Nickel left, Ye Xiaoyang gave General Nickel $100 million and a box of the Xiongfeng series.
Just as Ye Xiaoyang guessed, General Nicol was more interested in the Xiongfeng series.
The tall and thin Nicol looked 60 years old, but Ye Xiaoyang didn't ask how old he was actually.
In his opinion, there are few wealthy and powerful middle-aged and elderly men in the world who can resist the temptation of the Xiongfeng series of products.
For a moment, Ye Xiaoyang felt sad for the young beauties of the West German Empire.
In the future, who knows how many of them will be ruined by the old white men in front of them.
Of course, this old white man also likes colorful dollars, even though I heard his family is very rich.
Who would complain about having too much money these days?
A week later, General Nickel held a grand cocktail party at the Berlin Hotel.
Some political leaders and business elites from the West German Empire were specially invited.
This was an agreement between him and Ye Xiaoyang, and all expenses of the cocktail party would be borne by Ye Xiaoyang.
During the entire cocktail party, Ye Xiaoyang spoke fluent German and chatted with the elites of the West German Empire.
This made the elites of the West German Empire very fond of Ye Xiaoyang.
During the communication, they exchanged each other's contact information with Ye Xiaoyang.
Some of the business elites specially invited Ye Xiaoyang to visit their companies.
The most enthusiastic among these people are the presidents of Mercedes-Benz Group and BMW Group.
Throughout the cocktail party, Ye Xiaoyang behaved neither humbly nor overbearingly, without any arrogance or bullying.
He understands that the rule of business is mutual benefit and win-win. Only when both parties feel that they have won can they continue to cooperate.
Just as Ye Xiaoyang imagined, these big groups are not having an easy time at the moment.
The biggest problem is still the shortage of cash flow. The people of the West German Empire can be said to be living in dire straits.
Their economic situation was even worse than that of the Japanese Empire, even though they surrendered a few months earlier than the Japanese devils.
When they learned that Ye Xiaoyang had brought a large amount of funds for investment, the presidents who were short of cash flow were very enthusiastic.
A rich man is naturally popular. All this was within Ye Xiaoyang's expectations.
He felt that the business elites of the German Empire were easier to deal with than the Japanese business community.
The elites of the West German Empire were more outspoken and generally expressed what they thought directly.
In just two weeks, Ye Xiaoyang's team reached an investment agreement with the twelve major business groups of the West German Empire.
In this investment cooperation, Mercedes-Benz Group received the largest investment amount, followed by BMW Group.
Ye Xiaoyang also signed investment agreements with the three precision machine tool companies that he valued most.
He also acquired shares in Carl Zeiss and Mahr, two companies that excel in manufacturing precision measuring instruments.
Ye Xiaoyang invested 3000 million US dollars in Porsche, a company with great potential to make money in the future, and acquired a 25% stake.
The entire $800 million was used up.
Looking at the twelve investment agreements on the table, Ye Yanhong felt uneasy.
Although the Ye family's Zhenhua Investment Company holds more than 20% of the shares in these twelve major companies.
But this time, Ye Xiaoyang did not hire a professional financial company to assess the true value of these companies.
They invested all $800 million.
"Little sister, what's wrong with you?"
"Third brother, did we make the investment decision on these twelve companies too quickly?
Are the shares these twelve companies gave to Zhenhua Investment Company really worth that much money?
Ye Xiaoyang walked to Ye Yanhong, touched her hair with his hand, and said softly:
"Little sister, I can't actually calculate whether these twelve investments are worth so much money now?
But one thing I know is that the technology of these companies is exactly what we in China lack.
Besides, I believe they would not dare to cheat me, because in their eyes, my money is the money of the American tycoons.
This is also why I asked you to set up Zhenhua Investment Company in New York in advance."
Ye Xiaoyang is well aware of the capabilities of these companies. In a few years, these investments will yield huge returns.
But he couldn't say these words to his little sister.
"Third brother, can these companies really enter a fast-track development channel with our capital injection?"
"Not yet, but in two to three years at most, some of these companies will be able to enter the fast lane of development."
"Third brother, are these all your speculations?"
"Your third brother has a sense of development trends that ordinary people can't understand. I can't explain why."
Ye Xiaoyang couldn't explain this at all. He couldn't tell his little sister that he was a time traveler?
Ye Yanhong nodded. She thought this was Ye Xiaoyang's talent, and talent was something that could not be described.
Her father and eldest brother had already said that her third brother had unparalleled talent in business.
The world of geniuses is generally incomprehensible to ordinary people.
"Third brother, can we really bring the core technologies of these companies to the Ye family's company on Xiangjiang Island?"
"Everything depends on human effort. After all, we are the top three shareholders of these companies and have a certain say.
Once the office building and factory buildings on Xiangjiang Island are completed, we will try to recruit some talented people over there.
It’s not like the Ye family can’t afford this little money.”
Ye Yanhong felt that the third brother's tone of voice was gentle, but the meaning he expressed was extremely domineering.
"Third brother, are we still going to London?"
“Well, I plan to find a financial company in London to reassess the value of these twelve investment agreements.
Then a loan of pounds sterling was made from the Bank of the British Empire based on this value.
I plan to transfer this amount of pounds to the Bank of the United States to exchange it for the corresponding amount of US dollars.
Finally, a large part of this money was invested in the New York Stock Exchange.
"Third brother, do you also research stocks?"
"Of course, I've already roughly decided on the stocks I want to invest in. You can handle it when the time comes."
"How much money are you going to invest?"
"About $5.6 billion. I'll leave some for other uses."
"That leaves at least two or three hundred million dollars. Are you planning to take this money to Xiangjiang Island?"
“I haven’t decided yet, but I plan to use the money to buy a few non-ferrous metal mines.
Otherwise, where would the raw materials for Hong Kong's steel mills come from? Moreover, there are steel mills among the investments in the Japanese Empire."
Ye Yanhong nodded and said:
"Third brother, your thinking is really too powerful.
The industries invested by Yejia Zhenhua Investment Company are basically related to machinery and all use steel.
Among the investments of Yejia Zhenhua Investment Company is a steel mill, which is a one-stop service!
In the future, any company that wants to strangle Zhenhua Investment Company will probably be unable to do so.”
Ye Xiaoyang was very happy that Ye Yanhong could see this. His sister was indeed a top student at Harvard University.
"Little sister, this is a precautionary measure. The fate of the Ye family can only be secure if we control it in our own hands.
The current Ye family is not strong enough, and in five years the Ye family will have even more industries.
By then, the Ye family’s assets will surely exceed tens of billions of dollars.”
The figure of 10 billion US dollars had a huge impact on Ye Yanhong's spirit. It was a figure she had never imagined in her dreams.
At this moment, she had a completely new understanding of the Chinese idiom "rich enough to rival a country."
According to the third brother's estimation, in a few years, their Ye family will be rich enough to rival a country.
"Third brother, I doubt that all the money in China combined is worth tens of billions of dollars, right?"
"It's hard to say. China is vast and has a large population, and the truly wealthy tend to keep a low profile.
The aristocratic families and wealthy people who are known to the public are probably not truly aristocratic families and wealthy people."
Ye Yanhong nodded and said:
"We Chinese are modest and prudent. The Zengguang Xianwen says that big fish swim at the bottom of the water, while small fish swim at the surface."
Ye Xiaoyang gave a thumbs up to his younger sister Ye Yanhong.
"You've been in San Francisco for ten years, and I didn't expect you to take the time to read Zeng Guang Xian Wen. It's not easy."
"Third brother, father said that we in the Ye family must not forget our roots. San Francisco is just a temporary place to stay.
Sooner or later, we will return to Gusu City."
"Yes! The Ye family's roots are in Gusu City, and all of our ancestors are still outside of Gusu City."
Ye Xiaoyang was filled with emotion.
“I really hope that the two parties can decide the winner sooner, end the war sooner, and let the people live in peace.
But who knows when the Chinese Civil War will end? How long do we have to wait?
Ye Yanhong expressed the doubts in her heart, and it was not difficult to discern her inner worries from her tone.
"Little sister, the civil war between the two parties will be decided within a few years."
"Really? Third brother, do you mean that our family will return to Gusu City in a few years?"
Ye Xiaoyang waved his hand and said:
"The victor of the civil war is likely to be a communist party, which is a proletarian party.
I’m afraid the Ye family’s overseas wealth cannot be brought back.”
"Third brother, why can't you bring him back to Gusu City?"
"Didn't you read some books about the Soviet Union in college?"
Suddenly, Ye Yanhong seemed to understand something.
The Ye family is definitely a big capitalist now. If the Communist Party organization takes over the world, it will be like the Soviet Union.
There were no big capitalists in the Soviet Union, and all the big enterprises in their country were state-owned enterprises.
If the Ye family transferred their assets to Gusu City, it wouldn't take long for the Communist Party to confiscate them.
Sri Lanka has businesses all over the world and certainly doesn't want to hand over all of this money to the Communist Party organization.
Besides, Third Brother is not a member of the Communist Party organization, so there is no problem in helping Chinese compatriots transfer core technology to China.
The only thing is that it is absolutely impossible for the Ye family to donate all of their enormous wealth to the Communist Party organizations in China.
I'm afraid this is also the main reason why the third brother transferred the Ye family's assets to Xiangjiang Island?
At this moment, she finally understood what her third brother was thinking.
As the saying goes, a dynasty lasts a hundred years, and a family lasts a thousand years.
