Chapter 652 Petrodollars falling from the sky

The sky lights up again and it's Monday.

This is the last day of 2007, and tomorrow is the New Year's Day holiday.

nine in the morning.

Yao Yuan rushed to the Bank of China Tower by car, ready to stand for the last shift in 2007.

As soon as the motorcade arrived in front of the building, he saw from a distance that a large number of media reporters gathered in front of the building.

Needless to say, these media reporters are here to interview Yao Yuan and the executives of Jiuye Investment Group.

This past weekend, Yao Yuan and Jiuye Investment Group were undoubtedly the center of attention and stole the show.

In the financial history of Hong Kong Island, there has never been a capital giant like Jiuye Investment Group.

More importantly, before this, no investment institution in Hong Kong had ever posed any threat to Wall Street. Jiuye Investment Group was the first in history.

Not only that, Jiuye Investment has even hit many of Wall Street’s top investment banks.

Those ghost guys who were accustomed to sucking blood were beaten until their muscles and bones were broken, and they had to sit at the negotiation table to start negotiations with Jiuye Investment Group.

There are even rumors in Hong Kong that during the negotiations, the chairman of the Federal Reserve and several top investment banks on Wall Street begged Yao Yuan and Jiuye Investment to stop short selling and give them some breathing room.

As these rumors spread rapidly, many Hong Kong people became excited to hear them.

Especially people in the financial field who have always looked at Wall Street's opinions, how happy they are!

With everything going smoothly, Yao Yuan's status in Hong Kong and Macao has skyrocketed, reaching an unprecedented height.

In the minds of Hong Kong people, he is not only the recognized god of investment, but also a superhero who single-handedly beats up ghosts. He is also the idol of countless people.

Everything related to him is now talked about by people.

As a result, he naturally became a national idol that all media in Hong Kong rushed to report on.

Some of the tabloid reporters even just photographed his motorcade and then fabricated random articles or tidbits to use the opportunity to hype and gain attention.

What makes people laugh and cry is that these tidbits of news that have no basis in fact are quite eye-catching and attract countless people to watch.

Coupled with the intention cooperation agreement signed by Jiuye Investment and the United States just announced over the weekend, it is not surprising that so many media reporters gathered in front of the Bank of China Building.

In fact, people are no longer surprised that there are many reporters squatting in front of the building every day.

Seeing the arrival of Yao Yuan's motorcade, the media reporters immediately rushed up like a flood, trying to conduct interviews.

As they swarmed in, they all raised their cameras and quickly clicked the shutter on the convoy, fearing to miss this opportunity.

Unfortunately, the security personnel of the building and Jiuye Investment were well prepared and did not give them a chance to get close to the convoy.

After being stopped by security personnel, these guys could only stand outside the cordon and shout questions at the top of their lungs.

"Good morning, Yao Sheng, I am a reporter from Entertainment Express. I heard that Gillian and Sa went to Mid-Levels for an appointment late last night. May I ask, are you the one who had a great night with them last night?"

"Hello, Yao Sheng, I am a reporter from the Hong Kong Commercial Daily. I would like to ask you, is it true that the Federal Reserve and Wall Street's top investment banks asked you not to short the financial market again during negotiations?"

"Good morning, Yao Sheng, I am a reporter from "Entertainment Frontier". There are many actresses who say they admire you and regard you as their idol. Which one do you like best?"

Listening to the various questions coming from outside, Yao Yuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, he complained a few words angrily.

"What all this nonsense? What a double hit? Where did all these scandals come from?"

Before he finished speaking, Gao Huan and the others sitting in the front row started laughing.

Then, He Jiawei smiled and explained a few words.

"This is normal, Yao Sheng. Many entertainment tabloids and paparazzi in Hong Kong rely on such nonsense to make a living."

"Even some beautiful celebrities will deliberately create all kinds of gossip news to gain attention and maintain popularity."

"Gillian and Ah Sa did go to Mid-Levels last night, and they went to the street where the villa is located. They just went to find friends."

"From this point of view, it's hard to say that they didn't do it on purpose. Maybe it was planned by the assistant just to gain your popularity."

"You are now the most popular person in Hong Kong. Things like this will happen often in the future, and you will gradually get used to it."

Yao Yuan suddenly felt speechless and shook his head helplessly.

"There is really no limit to the hype, let it go!"

While talking, the motorcade had already entered the underground garage of the building and disappeared from the sight of the media reporters.

In the blink of an eye, it was already around ten o'clock in the morning.

In the office, Yao Yuan is checking the situation of the international financial market.

At this moment, Zhou Chaoyang knocked on the door and walked in.

Yao Yuan looked up at him, then pointed to the chair opposite and asked him to sit down.

Zhou Chaoyang nodded, stretched out his hand to pull out the chair and sat down.

After sitting down, she immediately got to the point.

"Mr. Yao, ten minutes ago, I received two calls. The other party was the vice president of the Saudi National Sovereign Fund and the president of the UAE National Sovereign Fund."

"On the phone, the other party made a request to invest in our Jiuye Investment Group. The initial investment amounts are US$350 billion and US$200 billion respectively, which is not a small deal."

"I verified the other party's identity, and there seems to be no problem. Moreover, the other party said that they will increase investment in the future and will hand over more funds to us for financial investment."

"If there is no problem with the identity of the other party, then it is obvious that these 550 billion are petrodollars, which is considered a huge sum of money. Should we accept this business?"

Yao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

"If the other parties are really the Saudi National Sovereign Fund and the United Arab Emirates National Sovereign Fund, and there is no problem with the source of funds, of course we will accept such a big deal!"

"With a piece of cloth on my head, I am the richest in the world. These Arabs have endless petrodollars, and they spend their money all over the world looking for financial institutions for financial investment."

"Instead of letting other institutions take away such a large sum of money, we should go ahead and make a huge profit from him, but the premise is that the source of the money must be clean."

"Obviously, the Arabs saw that we had reached cooperation with the Federal Reserve and Wall Street, and that there was strong national support behind it, so they were willing to invest huge sums of money in us."

"This is just the beginning. In the future, many countries and institutions will definitely come to us with money and entrust us with financial management and investment. We can just expand our business scope."

Zhou Chaoyang nodded and then continued:

"I think so too. This will help our group to rapidly expand the amount of capital it controls."

"Since you agree to accept these two investments, I am ready to contact these two sovereign funds."

"I will remind everyone to pay attention to the source of funds and security issues, especially not to have any involvement with terrorist organizations."

Yao Yuan thought for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Okay, you can handle this matter. After you have drawn up the investment conditions, just show them to me."

"This is a good opportunity. We may be able to take this opportunity to enter the Middle East oil market."

Next, they discussed the two investments for a while.

After the discussion, Zhou Chaoyang was ready to get up and leave.

At this moment, Yao Yuan suddenly mentioned another thing.

"Mr. Zhou, I am planning to purchase two private jets. Please notify the administrative department and let the administrative director take over the matter."

"The models of these two private jets are Dassault Falcon 7X and Gulfstream G550. They are both the most advanced and top-level private jets at the moment."

"I use one of them myself, and the other one is used by the group executives. This way, everyone can travel more conveniently and can leave at any time."

Zhou Chaoyang immediately beamed with joy when he heard that he wanted to buy two private jets, and that one of them was for the use of group executives.

As the CEO of Jiuye Investment Group, he will be able to frequently take the company's business jets to travel between Hong Kong Island, the country, and the world, without wasting a lot of time waiting at the airport.

Who wouldn’t want such top-notch treatment?

The next moment, Zhou Chaoyang nodded excitedly.

"Okay, Mr. Yao, I will arrange this immediately and try to buy these two models of private jets as soon as possible."

"In that case, is it possible to form a crew now? What suggestions do you have for pilots and crew?"

Yao Yuan nodded and continued:

"The purchase of these two private jets can be handled through Cathay Pacific. We are now the third largest shareholder of Cathay Pacific."

"And it's best to buy a ready-made private jet. If you place an order now, you won't be able to get the jet in a year or so."

"Given the current financial market conditions, many wealthy people are in big trouble and may sell their private jets to survive the financial crisis."

"We just took the opportunity to make a move, but the age of these two private jets cannot be more than one year. It is best to be a new aircraft that has not been flown a few times. We can use it after we take over."

"As for the pilots and crew, let me deal with it. All the crew members of these two private planes must be our own people who know the ins and outs and all come from the mainland..."

After a few words of instruction, Zhou Chaoyang turned around and left the office, going out to get busy.
