Five hundred million US dollars?
Even Huo Yingdong, who was used to many storms, couldn't help but stand up from his seat.
However, he was good at cultivating his energy, and his expression remained unchanged, except for his slightly relaxed brows. He paced back and forth in the study for a few times.
"What's wrong, Daddy? The mainland has made so much money, why don't you seem particularly happy?"
Seeing his father like this, Huo Zhenting was a little puzzled.
He knew that his father had always been concerned about the motherland. Whenever any bad natural disaster or man-made disaster happened in the motherland, he would be so worried that he could not sleep all night.
Whenever there was any happy event in the mainland, my father would also be so happy that he would raise his glass and drink.
It is obvious that the mainland is making money now, which is a great thing!
Why is my father so sad?
"Zhen Ting, do you think that making money is a good thing, and making a lot of money is an even better thing?"
Huo Yingdong stopped, leaned against the window and asked.
"This...isn't it, Daddy? Making money isn't a good thing, isn't losing money a good thing?"
Huo Zhenting became more and more confused.
At this age, he is just over thirty and not yet forty.
Also, since he grew up under the protection of the Huo family, he has never experienced any hardships in life.
Therefore, when he thinks about problems, it is always too simple and superficial.
Therefore, when Huo Yingdong heard Huo Zhenting's answer, he couldn't help but sigh, and then he also comforted himself:
"It's also my fault, I asked too much of you.
Second generation, second generation! Whether it is for a country or a family, you can never ask for too much.
You are not asked to be pioneering and enterprising, just to be able to maintain the status quo.
But I still want to explain the truth to you, and I hope you can understand it better."
With this conclusion, Huo Yingdong can be said to have "seen through" the potential of his eldest son.
But Huo Zhenting himself was a little unconvinced, and he also frowned and said to Huo Yingdong: "Daddy! I also want to listen carefully, why making money is not necessarily a good thing."
"Haha! You must have heard of the saying that fortune and misfortune go hand in hand, right?"
Huo Yingdong walked up to Huo Zhenting and said solemnly, "This time, the mainland has used a small amount to gain a big return. Thirty million has leveraged more than five hundred million US dollars.
Just think about it, the mainland is in such a cash-strapped stage right now.
Financial futures have proven to be so profitable, what do you think the mainland will do next? "
“Needless to say, hurry up and invest the money you earned into futures trading!
Thirty million becomes five hundred million, and if we invest another five hundred million, or even one billion, wouldn't it immediately become several billion US dollars?
With this money, wouldn't the mainland's reform investment problem be solved immediately? "
Because Peter Ho has always been authorized by Henry Fok to contact the mainland, including helping the mainland export raw materials and import some high-precision machinery.
Therefore, Peter Ho has always been very clear about the extent of the mainland's lack of money.
Many times, the mainland urgently needs to import certain machinery or materials, but the State Administration of Foreign Exchange has no money.
Often, Peter Ho could only ask for permission from Ho Ying-tung, and then transfer a portion of the interest-free loan from the Ho family's public account to help the mainland side to advance the purchase.
At the most, the Huo family paid for goods worth two or three hundred million US dollars on behalf of the mainland, and it took two or three years to pay it off.
It is the Huo family who is willing to help the mainland without caring about personal gains and losses.
If it were other businessmen in Hong Kong, they would have already told the whole world about the fact that the mainland owed them money and refused to pay them.
That's why!
The mainland is poor!
This is known to everyone in Hong Kong Island.
Many trading companies, upon hearing that the goods are being purchased by mainland China, will either refuse to do business or raise the price, and then require mainland China to pay the full amount in advance.
It was after experiencing all these things that the old man finally made up his mind to break a hole in the Western blockade.
We want to carry out reform and opening up, we want to develop our own economy, we want to improve all industries, we want to work hard and make money like crazy...
I am so poor! I am really afraid of being poor!
Those born in the 2000s simply cannot understand how poor and inferior the Chinese were at that time.
It is because Peter Ho has a deep understanding of this that he can confidently speculate that after the mainland has made a fortune from this futures trade, it will definitely increase its investment in this area in order to obtain such lucrative returns in a steady stream.
"Well! The fact that you can see this means that you haven't handled the tasks I assigned to you on weekdays that involve dealing with the mainland well."
Huo Yingdong nodded and agreed, "The mainland is afraid of being poor, and there is no way to not use the method of making money, or making a lot of money.
That’s why I said that the huge amount of money earned this time is not a good thing for the mainland!
As I warned you before, if a person gets used to making quick money, he will lose the will to work hard and do real business.
Not to mention a country. Although there are many talented people on the mainland, knowledgeable people from overseas are also constantly returning to serve the country.
But thinking of making money in the financial market all the time is a very dangerous idea in itself.
The mainland now wants to carry out reforms and open up its domestic market and economy. If it really takes the risk of spending its limited foreign exchange on futures speculation, it will lose money.
