Just to have one's name recorded in history is an extraordinary achievement.
Xing Baohua said 1 billion was too little, at least 1,000.
Why?
You're a land of plenty, and the produce you generate has to supply the surrounding provinces and cities. How bad are the roads there? How many detours do you have to take? Only those who have been there know.
The roads the government is currently building can only supply what's available. Once production begins, if the roads aren't widened, will it be enough? Seafood won't wait for you to be stuck in traffic for days.
Therefore, it would be best to build a railway as well.
That 100 billion may not be enough.
After Xing Baohua spoke, Lao Mou and the other man were speechless.
They can only swindle a billion, so how come Xing Baohua can't even keep up with 100 billion?
No wonder he's in big business. He convinced them all.
But the question is, how much can Mr. Xing invest? Even if you invest 10 billion, they are confident they can bring in the remaining 90 billion.
Even the CEO of a rice company is optimistic about this project and has personally invested 10 billion. If you don't follow suit, you won't even get a taste of the profits!
Yes, Xing Baohua said that he would provide them with supplementary information, but he wouldn't discuss investment matters, which is quite worrying.
Finally, unable to hold back any longer, the man from central Henan asked, "Mr. Xing, this project is so good, how much can you invest?"
"cast?"
As Xing Baohua raised his question, Lao Mou and Yu Zhong Lao Biao nodded in agreement, and they were also hoping that Xing Baohua would bet more.
To everyone's surprise, Xing Baohua shook his head and said, "I won't invest. Didn't I just say that I don't touch things I don't understand?"
"You've analyzed it so thoroughly, yet you still say you don't know anything about it. We didn't even know about buying land for aquaculture and rice cultivation; our initial plan was to develop tourism. Unlike you, who's already thinking about raising seafood."
Xing Baohua continued to wave his hand and said, "This is your project. Besides, I really don't understand it. I've been investing in building skyscrapers lately. I do understand architecture, though. My next plan is to tile the Great Wall. That money will generate long-term returns."
Tiling the Great Wall?
These words completely baffled the two master swindlers. Even the most quick-witted and nimble-fingered individuals were momentarily stunned.
I really can't figure out how to maintain long-term returns.
So he humbly asked for advice.
Luzhong is most famous for its porcelain, not only teapots and teacups, plates and bowls, but also ceramic tiles. I plan to build the largest ceramic tile factory, exclusively supplying porcelain for the city walls.
The Great Wall has a long history and rich cultural heritage, and current technology is simply incapable of protecting it. In a few hundred years, it will become a ruin. Therefore, we must tell the government that we must start protecting the Great Wall now and use technological means to preserve its cultural value.
Rice may not have much else, but it does have some technological sophistication. Do you know about nanotechnology?
Do you know about the graphene work done by Professor Li, the chief scientist of our Dami Technology? Professor Li is a Nobel Prize-nominated professor.
They're currently doing R&D at our factory.
We use nanotechnology to integrate it into the tiles, making them durable and retaining their new appearance for thousands of years. Even if they get dirty from wind and sun, they can be wiped clean with a cloth and they will still be bright.
The Great Wall is so long, we only need to work on a few kilometers a year, tell me how much money we can make!
"Where would the government get so much money to invest?" the Yu Zhong boss asked doubtfully.
“It’s not a one-time investment. It’s only a few kilometers each year, and we don’t want cash. We want government bonds. So, in the early stages, we are the ones investing and exchanging them for government bonds. When they mature, our returns will be much greater.”
Old Mou's eyes darted around, as if he felt it was a pity that Xing Baohua's plan was not working. He wondered how he could get the government to pay attention to cultural relic protection.
So they asked Xing Baohua if he was trying to pull strings or if he had other plans.
Finding connections is convenient, but it's also expensive! It's about planning things out – saving money while still being persuasive.
"There is a section of the Qi Great Wall in central Shandong, which is the oldest section, but now it can only be called a ruin. We took photos and expert reports on the Qin Great Wall, the Ming Great Wall, and the Great Wall from various dynasties, and told the higher authorities that if we don't take protective measures as soon as possible, the Great Wall will end up like the Qi Great Wall."
Every year, so many tourists visit the Great Wall, causing the most damage. Tiling the Great Wall is the best way to protect it. If we extend the plan and have the government invest a few hundred million yuan a year, how could they possibly disagree? In thirty to fifty years, it will be a project worth tens of billions of yuan.
Don't forget, we can't accept cash, we only want bonds. Do you think the higher-ups would disagree?
Looking at Lao Mou's eyes, it seemed he really believed it. Then, raising his glass to Xing Baohua, he said, "Hey, drinking with President Xing is so enjoyable. He just casually mentioned a multi-billion dollar project, the kind that provides long-term financial security. President Xing, how about giving us a quota? We don't have as much money as you, so we can just invest a little."
After Xing Baohua and the other person finished their drinks, they each smoked a cigarette, and Lao Mou personally lit one for Xing Baohua.
He exhaled a puff of smoke and asked Lao Mou, "You've already invested a lot in the Himalayas gap, and if you invest in Great Wall Tiles as well, it will put a lot of pressure on your finances. Don't let it interfere with your seafood sales and rice farming on the plateau."
"It won't delay us, it won't delay us. We can only come up with 100 million." Old Mou said.
Xing Baohua feigned displeasure, slammed his hand on the table, and said, "You have the nerve to offer 100 million? Do you know how much the initial investment was? Just for a high-tech tile factory, the construction, research and development, and equipment investment alone would have cost three or four hundred million."
Add to that the construction costs, worker wages, and equipment—oh! Building materials are hard to transport uphill, so I'll probably just airdrop them. Government bonds have maturities of five or ten years, which means we'll have to wait at least five years to see the money.
So we need to cover this for at least five years. How many days can your 100 million last?
