"How about we put our Himalaya project on hold for now and play around with tiling instead?"
"Old Mou! That's not right of you. Yours is a fast project, mine is slow! What is investment? Isn't it all about the rate of return? We sell rice and electronic equipment, and we have working capital to support us. Even when we're short of money, I can still take the tile factory public. I heard that the Shanghai Stock Exchange is going to open up stock exchanges, and everyone can buy stocks without having to go through any kind of securities. Why don't you buy more shares of the tile factory then?"
If you have a lot of money, how about becoming a shareholder? I'll give you a discount then.
It's a battle of wits between a master conman and a novice conman; it's a contest of who can outsmart whom.
They originally came to discuss transport aircraft business, but who knew they'd be tricked into laying tiles.
Of the world's three most profitable projects, Xing Baohua only discussed two at this dinner party. And to be honest, both were feasible and credible. But putting a lid on the Pacific Ocean is a bit far-fetched and can't be made up!
Who would believe Lao Mou and Xing Baohua talking about such a ridiculous project?
Only those two can fool people into investing their money.
To be honest, Lao Mou genuinely believed in Xing Baohua's tile-laying project. Especially the nanotechnology and graphene technology—after all, these achievements had been featured in the newspapers, and that Professor Li, in particular, truly had the technology!
Given Xing Baohua's connections with higher-ups, he could leverage bond rules to simply provide funds as long as you had the money. And Da Mi was indeed wealthy; even when he ran out of money, he could still attract many people to invest.
That's real skill. Look at their project; they describe it so meticulously. They must have done the planning, the research, and even come up with a budget. Otherwise, how could they say his 100 million is like ten dollars to them, something they don't even care about?
Like a sesame seed thrown into the sea, it doesn't even make a ripple.
After a satisfying meal, Xing Baohua left first, and later he would arrange for someone to coordinate with the two men on cargo transport operations.
After Xing Baohua left, Lao Mou and his partners from central Henan returned to the room arranged by Xing Baohua.
Old Mou lit a cigarette and began to sit like a Thinker sculpture, his mind filled with thoughts of tiling.
If I can't become an investor, can I become a construction foreman?
No, the contractor also has to advance the money. In the current construction market, there's no one who doesn't advance money. Xing Baohua's side is going to advance all the money! He's right. The advance payment is for at least five years, so that the bond yield can be realized.
If you do a project for someone else, there are plenty of cases where it takes three to five years, and some even take eight to ten years. You're lucky if you get half back; most of the time, you never get it back.
But bonds are different! They pay you back when they mature, along with the interest.
Tell me, how did they come up with the idea of using bonds for settlement?
"Old Li, Old Li, don't lie down yet. Tell me, if they think 100 million is too little, what if we try to raise several billion through Xing Baohua's project? Would he even consider joining us?"
