Fight to the third generation

In May of this year, the Lin'an official entrusted someone to send Su Yehao two small cans of tea, a total of only [-] grams. The ancient tea trees produced in Longjing's "Yuqian Eighteen Trees" produced only two taels a year. Even Su Yehao would Drink sparingly and savor carefully.

This time I tried the best Pu'er in the hotel, and found that there was a sweet aftertaste after drinking it, so I bought a few cakes to take with me.

Jiang Yu rested on the bed, stared at the blue sky outside the window for a long time, and suddenly asked: "I remember that under the name of Miss Nong, there is a small hotel called Aman, which only opens in places with the best scenery. Why? Didn’t come to Shangri-La? Oh, yes, the media also said that she was in California and bought a ranch.”

Su Yehao tensed up, and replied with a guilty conscience: "It has nothing to do with me, she earned the money by herself."

"Really?" Xiao Nizi also joined in the fun.

Su Yehao was silent for a moment, and then said:

"...Well, I gave her some investment advice. I knew her earlier. When I bought Yahoo, the market value of Yahoo was only a billion dollars, and I made a fortune in no time. Don't say that I treat one more than another, Nangong, you didn't make less money, but You're investing in different directions, and those hotels and ranches are losing money."

Jiang Yu's heart was like still water, and he continued:

"I'm just asking casually. Are you nervous? This place has a sacred sense of primitive nature, so I don't bother to be angry with you. The most spectacular natural scenery in the mainland seems to be in the northwest or southwest, no less than other countries , but the infrastructure is a bit behind, and the hotel is not that luxurious.”

"It's not luxurious enough because the market environment is different, and it will be different after the economy develops. People from all over the world go to the ski resorts in the French Alps or to the snowfields in Iceland where you can see the aurora. Of course, investing in luxury hotels there will make money. "

After hearing Su Yehao finish speaking, Xiao Nizi nodded:

"Yes, hotels in Iceland are very expensive. When my mother and I went there, the suite cost more than 1000 US dollars a night, and there were no spare rooms. In fact, the scenery is the most spectacular on the snow-capped mountains on the plateau. Unfortunately, the altitude is too high. High, there is no way to build some ski resorts..."

Chapter 803 November

The global economy is facing the risk of recession, and the market environment is not good.

Even the mainland, which is developing at an astonishing speed, has suffered a sharp drop in the stock market, and the value of various assets has plummeted. It takes a while for the bullets to fly.

Ever since he realized that the funds at hand might not be enough, and there were no good opportunities to make quick money in the short term, Su Yehao knew that his assets had reached a small bottleneck.

Inadvertently, the debt ratio has exceeded 30% of the asset scale. Fortunately, most of them are concentrated in the real estate field.

The Internet companies in the Mainland, the Internet companies in the United States, real estate, investment and wealth management, semiconductors, etc. are all burning money. One or two can withstand it, but Su Yehao has so many companies under his control, even he is a little worried. I feel that it is necessary to stop and consolidate.

So since mid-July, Su Yehao has pressed the pause button even on the plan to acquire Apple shares.

His shares of Apple stock accounted for about 17% of the company's total share capital, and he spent nearly [-] million US dollars, with [-]% of the funds borrowed from banks.

After returning from traveling in Caiyunzhinan.

Su Yehao is self-cultivating and has a relatively leisurely life. Apart from eating and drinking with the girls, he occasionally spends time with the children, and often invites Bao Yajun and the others to play mahjong together.

In order to kill time, he asked someone to build an online novel website in the mainland, and spent money to hold an essay competition, which happened to provide Tianyu Entertainment with some adaptable script copyrights.

The start-up capital of the novel website is only 1000 million RMB. In his eyes, an investment of this scale is nothing but water, and there is no need to take it to heart at all...

……

In a blink of an eye.

Time came to November.

Su Yehao returned to the casino and had dinner with his second wife, Nong Qingying and his father.

room.

Father Su took Su Yehao to drink and told him:

"Son, I've been very worried these two days. The land has already been taken, and I have no clue about the design of the hotel. Do you have any good ideas?"

Just won the bid during the day and successfully won a gambling card.

At first, the above idea was actually to distribute three cards. Later, there were more people bidding and there were many conflicts among them, so the number was increased to six, and the term "primary and secondary cards" was cancelled, and six cards were distributed directly, and the financial revenue was increased by the way.

The total profit of the gaming industry in the casino city last year was only a few billion Hong Kong dollars, which is not a particularly brilliant business.

The Su family plans to spend 200 billion Hong Kong dollars, and plans to open shopping malls and amusement parks, putting the casino itself in the second place, which just caters to the idea of ​​vigorously developing the tourism industry, and its own strength far exceeds other competitors. The result of winning the bid is beyond everyone's expectations. , without any suspense.

Also winning the bid were Lisboa, Wynn, Sands, Genting Group, and a new Hong Kong-city joint venture company called Xingyun. Several Hong Kong tycoons claimed to raise one billion US dollars.

Su Yehao didn't know enough about the gaming industry in casinos in his previous life, but he was sure he had never heard of the Xingyun casino, but he had heard of the Genting Group, and vaguely remembered that it was a big casino in Southeast Asia.

The group of people who are not strong enough are directly out of the game, and many of them are joining in the fun. They are going to win the gambling cards first and then raise money for development. The others are not fools, so how could they give them a chance to steal chickens.

A total of more than 20 companies bid for six gambling cards. Big companies like Cosmos International, Sands, and Wynn went all out when they made a bid.

As early as the end of August, Cosmopolitan International took over 300 mu of land on Taipa Island. Together with the more than [-] mu of land for a complex that was acquired next door, the scale of the land occupation far exceeds that of other peers.

The reason why he dared to buy more than 1000 acres of land on Taipa Island in advance was because the land in the casino would most likely increase in value. Even if he didn’t open a casino, he would still be very profitable. Compared with the previous two years, the land price in the casino had risen a lot.

now.

Su Yehao ate his oysters and replied to his father:

"The design should be more grand. Since we plan to keep it in our hands to collect rent, the outer wall must be able to withstand a hundred years of wind and rain. The outer wall is made of white granite, European-style architectural style, and illuminated with yellow lights at night. It is itself a scenic spot. Mainland tourists compare I like this style, such as those on the Shanghai Bund."

Nong Qingying went on to say: "It feels very good. Some tourists like to gamble, and some tourists just want to shop and play. Many old buildings in Europe are still very beautiful, with enduring styles."

After brainstorming, Father Su nodded:

"I will discuss with the design firm and make some samples first. My idea is also to be liked by most tourists, but compared with the standard modern hotel, the cost is slightly higher."

"So much money has been spent, it's not bad, the hotel is still a hotel, the appearance should be changed a little."

Su Yehao ate calmly.

The family has been preparing for several months, and it is not surprising that they won the gambling cards.

When I got the gambling card in the morning, some banks couldn't wait for it in the afternoon, and they found Papa Su one after another, hoping to win loan orders.

For a business like this that has real estate as collateral, it is not a problem to borrow more than 100 billion yuan, but the construction of the casino is staged, and it does not need that much money in the short term, so the start-up capital is not a problem for the time being.

The second aunt listened to their conversation with a smile, helped Nong Qingying and Su Yehao serve a bowl of pigeon soup, and said:

"After the most troublesome things have been done, it is not easy to design a hotel? We have a construction team at home, and the cost is much lower than others. When the time comes, we will use good building materials. Let alone 100 years, 200 years will be fine. As long as we often Maintain and renovate and be able to keep this hotel as a family heirloom.”

Su Yehao looked at Second Aunt, changed the topic and asked, "Second Aunt, my dad said you are going to do business?"

"Yeah, find something to pass the time for yourself. It just so happens that you are going to open a shopping mall chain. At that time, I will rent some shops in it, sell gold, silver and jewelry, and open a few restaurants. It is said that some brands in Hong Kong City are developed in the mainland. Very good, I just want to integrate the old brands of the casino and bring them to the mainland for a try.”

The second aunt is too good at maintenance, her appearance is still the same, maybe because she is at home in the circle of rich wives in the casino, she seems to be living a very happy life.

Su Yehao let out a sigh, and replied: "This idea is great. I have resources at home, and it will be much easier to open a store. Second aunt, have you found a brand to cooperate with?"

"Well, they are all time-honored brands. The restaurants include Nanping Yaxu, Foxiaolou, which serves Portuguese dishes, and Tiansheng Gold Shop, which have a history of more than [-] years. I have already bought them."

As soon as the second aunt finished speaking, Nong Qingying interjected: "I have been to Nanping Yaxu Restaurant, and the interior decoration is a bit of the characteristics of the 70s and [-]s. We may not care about it. Mainland customers should find it fresh. Their barbecued pork and egg sandwiches are delicious. tasty."

As Jiang Yu's godmother, the second aunt would of course be partial to Jiang Yu.

But Nong Qingying and Su Yehao already had a son, so they became a family no matter what.

During this period of time, Nong Qingying has been busy with the casino, and made the preparation plan. Occasionally, she has too much contact with the second aunt, and she is barely familiar with it...

Chapter 804 Party in Qatar

Dinner on the night of the ninth.

After receiving the invitation, Su Yehao accompanied his father and flew overnight to Qatar in the Middle East.

This country is small in size, but it is rich.

Not metaphorically.

Qatar is really rich in oil.

Its natural resources are relatively simple, except for oil and natural gas. 20% of the world's proven natural gas reserves are here, but the population is only about 200 million. So many resources are shared among a small number of people, of course it is exciting to take off.

As early as 1984, Qatar's per capita GDP exceeded [-] US dollars, but now South Korea, which always likes to brag about its own strength, was only [-] US dollars at that time.

Su Yehao still remembered that there was a joke on the Internet.

Some people say that they insist on working three hours a day, and sometimes even work overtime until two o'clock in the afternoon. Qatar is the country that works overtime until two o'clock in the afternoon.

No way, the Middle East, floating on oil, happens to occupy the sphere of destiny in the modern energy world. If you dig oil, you will get rich, and the resources are so good that people have to be convinced.

When the plane landed in Qatar, a local official came to greet them and took the father and son to the Sheraton Hotel in Doha, Qatar.

Noon local time on the tenth.

A representative in a suit from the mainland came to find Su Yehao to say hello to his father.

Father Su spoke with his not-so-fluent ordinary hair, shook hands with the other party and said with a smile: "Congratulations! After waiting for a long time, I finally waited for today!"

next to.

Su Yehao almost sang along, the familiar melody lingering in his mind.

He also shook hands with the other party, and said with a smile: "Yes, congratulations on joining the WTO. The reform and opening up has opened a new chapter. You must have put a lot of effort into it."

The middle-aged man who came to say hello waved his hand and said with a sigh:

"I can't mention this. I have a headache when I mention it. I have conducted bilateral negotiations with more than [-] member states, more than [-] rounds of negotiations with the United States, and more than a dozen rounds of negotiations with Europe. I have spent several years on it. Fortunately, there are This is a good result, entrepreneurs from many countries will hold an exchange meeting tonight, and I hope Mr. Su and Mr. Su can help a lot, and try to help bring some orders back."

After waving his hand, Father Su replied carelessly:

"No problem. My son and I have always been optimistic about the economic development of the mainland. Now that we are about to join the WTO, opportunities are everywhere. I think those representatives who came here have plans to invest. When the time comes, let my son join. He's bigger than me now..."

To be held in Qatar today is the fourth high-level meeting of the World Trade Organization.

Also tonight, the ratification letter for joining the World Trade Organization will be formally submitted. Since it has been passed in accordance with the consensus plan, it is tantamount to going through the motions.

According to regulations, one month after submitting the ratification letter, it will officially become a member of the World Trade Organization.

Su Yehao and his father received invitations as a business delegation, and they came to Qatar to attend the business party tonight. As for formal events, they could probably go if they wanted to, but he wasn't too interested.

Simply say hello.

The father and son went to the hotel restaurant for dinner, and Father Su dozed off and said:

"If I knew it, I should have slept more. The time in Hong Kong City is five hours faster than here? I don't feel comfortable anywhere today. The bed in the hotel is too soft for my age. Besides, I can't speak English. I will find you tonight. There is a reason for me to slip first, and you are responsible for helping me carry it."

Looking sideways at his old man, Su Yehao asked him speechlessly: "Then you can just find a reason not to come. If you come and don't participate in the activities, isn't it for nothing?"

"How can it be for nothing? I have never been to the Middle East. I plan to take the opportunity to travel for a few more days. They specially called to invite me. I have to save face. Anyway, they only care about you, the sixth richest man in the world. I basically I don't know anyone."

His voice was sour.

Although I hope that my son will become a dragon, but the results of two or 30 years of hard work are easily thrown away by my own son, which is inevitably a bit awkward.

Su Yehao only replied:

"It's okay. The chain shopping malls and the Sihai Casino and Hotel have kept you busy. It's good to travel and relax. Remember to find a tour guide when the time comes. Their customs are different from ours. Be careful if you make a taboo. The Egyptian Pyramids, near Jumeirah Beach in Dubai, all have Aman Resort Hotel under Qingying’s name.”

"I know, I know, I have traveled all over the world at an early age, and you still need you to remind me? This time I want to drive an off-road vehicle and go for a walk in the desert. Big graves like pyramids are fine. Feng Shui is not good."

"..."

Su Yehao was speechless, unable to keep up with his father's brain circuit.

I ordered a five-spice risotto in the restaurant. I read the introduction in the restaurant. It only said that on the basis of the Arabian chicken rice, mutton and beef were added to make the taste richer.

I thought it was delicious at first, but when the waiter brought Dad's big steak, Su Yehao suddenly felt that the risotto in front of him was not as delicious as before.

Two huge bone-in steaks look very appetizing.

Swallowing his saliva to suppress the shock, Su Yehao said again: "Why don't you accompany me to Saudi Arabia tomorrow, there is also a big desert over there, and then go back to the casino together? I have business in Saudi Arabia, and I plan to open an asset management company. The partner is Kingdom Holding company, it has more strength over there.”

Biting the big steak, Papa Su asked curiously:

"It's a new company again? By the way, how is your 5S asset management company in the mainland recently? It fell into a dog a few months ago, and it caused the Midi Group to lose money. Don't cheat my friend, uncles and aunts are all rushing." For my sake, I put the money in your hands."

The corners of the mouth twitched.

Rolling his eyes at his father, Su Yehao said while eating:

"Don't worry, I know what's in my mind. After the suspension of the sale of state-owned shares last month, the stock price rose sharply, and there was news of a reduction in stamp duty. The index rose by 7% in half a month. The companies I invested in performed relatively well, and investors did not lose money. .I mean the remaining investors, I can’t manage it if they don’t support the group of people who ran away first.”

The performance of 5S asset management companies this year is indeed not good.

It's not that one of them is bad, the performance of other companies is even worse, the entire market has fallen, and the funds are still restricted in the mainland, so they cannot be short hedged. Even if Su Yehao is very capable, so what can he do.

The funds managed by the 5S asset management company decreased by 90 billion yuan in this stock market crash. Fortunately, they had the idea to cash out in advance, otherwise Su Yehao would have to pay out of his own pocket and put it in the company as working capital.

The newly launched QDII type fund made a profit of five or six points in the Hong Kong stock market. Unfortunately, the total size is only more than 5 million yuan, which cannot cause any disturbance at all.

He didn't earn much money, and even Su Yehao's investment vision began to be suspected.

Su Yehao didn't care about this. If he wanted to use investors' money to make money, it would inevitably be a bit of a twist. Fortunately, the cusp has basically passed. As long as the companies he invests in perform well enough, he believes that they can turn losses into profits soon.

Great businesses are still great, the only difference is that they are cheaper and take time to grow...
