Chapter 53: 1866 Germany (5)

Thanks to Bismarck, thanks to the war, thanks to the businessmen from France, the United Kingdom and all over the world, thanks to the profit-seeking capital, it all digested 5000 tons of wheat and rice, 300 tons of corn and dozens of tons of spices and sucrose.
It is a pity that the Chicago Board of Trade has just been established in 1885, and its radiant surface has not yet reached the unapproved German region. If not, Huang Xuan believes that 2500 tons of wheat and 2500 tons of rice will give short sellers a good drink. .
According to DEFRA's statistics, the output of wheat per hectare in modern agricultural production is only 8 tons, and 5000 tons is equivalent to 600 hectares of output, but Huang Xuan has no feeling. He still has 120,000 hectares of land under his name, 5000 tons It's a trivial thing.
Holding 54,000 Thales in his hand, Huang Xuan had a feeling of nowhere to work. If people are now in Paris, even in Hamburg, he can make thousands of times back. However, this is the Rhineland-Falz, Germany's most remote forest area, where there is only wood and agricultural products.
There are still two days before the return trip. In an era when there is no plane to rely on, the fastest way to transport is the railway. However, the German railways are somewhat different.
Perhaps it was the cause of years of division and war. The German railways were built in accordance with the plan of the city. In other words, from location A to location C, if you need route B, you usually need to change cars. You can imagine how long it will take to change cars in this era of low organizational efficiency. People who want to be comfortable in France will also be disappointed, because France actively restricts the entry of Germans.
Basically, the only material that Huang Xuan can take home is wood.
"It would be nice if the place and time could be determined." Huang Xuan did not forget this.
Lorraine had to remind him again: "According to the simple quantum theory, we cannot determine the time and place at the same time."
"I know ..." Huang Xuanchang sighed and walked to a new chamber of commerce.
Although there are no celebrity paintings to buy, if the standard is lowered, the quality of the wood in Falz is still quite good. Here we need to thank Hartich again. He started the vigorous "forestation campaign" at the position of director of the State Forestry Administration. "The Europeans in the 19th century were full of hope and conquest. They thought they had been exposed to the essence of the world. Perhaps they had already begun to contact God. Their tremendous soaring. They were no longer satisfied with the control of farmland, and they deliberately made the forest according to their own Need to grow.
In fact, in the first few years of the afforestation campaign, the cumulative annual growth of these planted woodlands increased steadily, but by the early 20th century, the forested areas began to be harassed by pests, and the winds even blowed down the forests in hectares.
In order to plant plantations, the Germans felled the forest in pieces, and at the same time, the timber trees that were harvested decades ago were also felled and sold, and among them, beech, oak, and oak were the most.
When Huang Xuan took out a large amount of cash to buy these timbers, the forest farms could almost be described as ecstatic, not only because Huang Xuan did not need them to transport the timber, but also because he used cash transactions to carry out here The chamber of commerce often uses credit. If Huang Xuan insists and sells food at a price lower than the market price, he cannot get cash.
The composition of German forestry is still dominated by private forests. The owners of forest farms pay taxes to the government every year, and then they can dispose of their own industries at will. This measure has basically continued.
In this situation, Huang Xuan was almost free to choose the type and quality of wood he wanted to buy. Of course, Lorraine was actually choosing.
After selecting for two days and collecting about 60,000 cubic meters of timber, Huang Xuanfang was released by Lorraine and sent home.
Lying on the bed in the bedroom, Huang Xuan headed a little and fell asleep.
...
In the morning, the red sun opened its eyes and reflected the entire São Paulo in a red and yellow.
Li Qing knocked gently on the door and said, "Huang Xuan, a Mr. Aubrey White came to you. It is said that Mr. Yu Liye introduced him."
"Ah!" Huang Xuan's hair stood upright, shouting a word, and struggling to get up.
Aubrey Wright is a New England American, a Catholic, wearing a neat suit and no beard, only 30 years old, but Huang Xuan guessed that he must be over 40 years old. He brought an interpreter, a young Chinese, probably a turtle who could not return home.
Huang Xuan just washed a bit. Although he had taken off his pajamas, he also put on a T-shirt, which was very different from Aubrey's suit and leather suit. The latter seemed to carelessly greet Huang Xuan and extended his right hand: "Mr. Huang, this is Aubrey Wright of Citigroup Global Finance. This time I was introduced by Mr. Yu Liye. I hope to be able to communicate with you Expand business relationships. "
"Tea or coffee." Huang Xuan smiled and shook hands with Aubrey, then his interpreter. Be the first to sit down and say: "What kind of business?"
"Coffee, thank you." Aubrey whispered to Li Qing, then turned his head to Huang Xuandao: "I think you have heard that our company is a professional asset management company after the split of Solomon Smith Barney. Mr. Dai Huang manages your assets. "
Huang Xuan touched his nose and smiled: "Have you talked to my parents? My assets are still under the guardian's control."
"I mean your personal assets."
Huang Xuan narrowed his eyes and smiled. It seems that this Mr. Aubrey is a typical American manager. They manage assets for young family members and establish good personal relationships. Then, in this family member After sharing inheritance or taking charge of housekeeping, he suddenly became a family manager. This is a common practice in the US banking and financial industries. However, in recent years, Europeans have learned a lot.
Thinking of this, Huang Xuan thought again of mischief, saying: "Does Mr. Walter know the amount of my personal assets?"
"$ 2 million in cash and 24% of Xinye's equity, and there is also an electrolytic aluminum plant." Aubrey didn't need to read the information, he said it quickly, and it seemed that he had done some investigation.
However, these are a month's worth of information. He just spent all his cash and got 300 million US dollars from the Japanese, and there is no need to pay taxes. Although it is a black money, he is escorted by Lorraine and there is no special person to check it. It can basically be included in personal assets. Too.
Seeing Huang Xuan pondering, Aubrey continued: "Although Solomon has been merged into Citi, the company still has strong asset management experience and capabilities. We can guarantee that your assets can reach 6 in the next year. For an increase of more than%, in fact, the assets we manage often have a return of 10%. "He paused and continued:" We are still the best capital-operating company in the world. If necessary, Mr. Huang Xuan We can provide thoughtful and meticulous business from consulting to M & A and restructuring operations.
The level of translation is very good ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But Lorraine is even better, Huang Xuan did not say anything, just listened quietly.
He didn't have a cold for other people's asset management. Lorraine had basic financial knowledge. The money in and out of his hands was too large to be handed over to others. But Aubrey's last sentence attracted him. He really needs it now. Lorraine has too many needs to complete in a professional organization for asset operation.
Knocking on the desktop with the middle finger, Huang Xuanxiao smiled and said: "I know Solomon, but that's my father's business, and your company's information is a little behind."
Aubrey was not dissatisfied when he heard the translation, and he nodded a little while waiting for Huang Xuan to continue.
"I want to acquire a warehousing company. The business scope should cover São Paulo and the nearby Santos Port. The storage equipment is better, the types are complete, and the total amount is large. The amount is within 20 million US dollars. If your company can satisfy To complete this acquisition, I think I will consider it. "
In this passage, Huang Xuan said that it smells like a mother, and Aubrey nodded his head, and said: "No problem, I will submit the acquisition outline to you within three days."
"I look forward to your good news." Huang Xuan stood up with a smile, shaking hands with Aubrey.
