Nangong Tian is still recuperating in the hospital.
Su Yehao received a report from the 5S Asset Management Company and agreed to help receive a business delegation from the Middle East. The meeting location was set in Pengcheng, which was initially developing.
The global demand for energy is strong, and the price of crude oil has risen to around 36 US dollars, which has been at a high level for a long time. Occasionally it even exceeds last year when the United States and the United States started beating Lao Yi, causing market shocks. All oil-producing countries made a lot of money.
As the best-performing emerging market in the world, the mainland has inevitably attracted the attention of many international investors.
This time, a group of enterprises and institutional representatives from the Middle East formed a delegation to inspect the mainland market in order to send money for investment.
I heard that the budget may even exceed tens of billions of dollars. This amount is already worthy of Su Yehao's personal trip.
Zheng Yongwen, CEO of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, did not know where he got the news.
He took the initiative to ride with Su Yehao to Pengcheng, obviously wanting to get a piece of the pie.
Considering that there are many mainland listed companies on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which are indeed suitable for attracting cross-border hot money, Su Yehao does not intend to stop him, but whether Zheng Yongwen can attract the attention of potential major investors depends on his own ability.
I heard that Forty-Nine City paid close attention to this inspection team and even sent a special person to receive it. Su Yehao could not risk offending others to help Zheng Yongwen increase his performance. Agreeing to bring him along was already a great deal of face.
Who doesn't know how fierce the mainland is in attracting investment?
Various welfare policies have been directly implemented, and many companies in Southeast Asia, Europe, the United States, Japan and other places have relocated their factories to the mainland. As a result, the economy and employment situation in the mainland are very good, and there is even a "labor shortage" in the market.
This was something that was almost unbelievable in the past few years. There was a shortage of young female workers in many areas along the southeastern coast. Especially in the textile and garment processing industries, college students were very popular in the job market.
Every era has its own characteristics.
The atmosphere in the mainland is becoming more and more familiar to Su Yehao, as is the scenery on the street, with old and new alternating, and construction is going on everywhere.
Sitting in the Rolls-Royce Phantom with dual license plates, Zheng Yongwen said: "It is indeed a new car. I am not tired at all after sitting for such a long time. I will sell my Silver Spur when I get back and find a way to buy a Phantom as soon as possible."
Su Yehao has no interest in cars at all now, and it would be almost the same if it were the car companies themselves.
He dozed off and said to Zheng Yongwen:
"Things are rare and expensive. This thing is just a consumable. You can buy it with money, so it doesn't make much sense. Compared with gas vehicles, electric vehicles are more interesting now. The mainland is short of oil and has a huge demand for energy.
, as an oil-poor country, if the technology of electric vehicles meets the standards, they will probably not have to worry about selling them in the future. Once they are ready, the market value will easily exceed 100 billion, and it is not impossible to reach one trillion."
Zheng Yongwen said calmly: "It makes sense, but if it is so easy to do, how can you still get your turn?"
"Yes, prepare in advance, just in case there is a future."
Su Yehao continued:
"In order to sell oil at a high price and ensure their own interests, the oil sellers have been talking about oil depletion for many years, but I think the reserves are getting more and more. The development of electric vehicles itself may not be too difficult. How to break through the barriers in the upstream and downstream industries
That’s the key, so the mainland is an oil-poor country, which is very important. It’s more suitable to be used as a test field and it’s easy to get support from above.”
Zheng Yongwen’s strength lies here.
Even if Su Yehao told him his idea, Zheng Yongwen couldn't implement it. He only said with emotion:
"It's really rare that someone with your level of wealth can still maintain the passion to start a business. If it were me, I might have lost it long ago."
Su Yehao replied with a smile: "This may be because business itself is only secondary, and I have other pursuits."
Hearing this sentence, Zheng Yongwen was quite interested and asked:
"Oh? I'd like to hear that. Is it possible that having the opportunity to become the richest man is not enough?"
"It's two different things. I have seen foreign experts commenting that if the mainland's population continues to maintain economic growth and consumes a lot of resources when it gets rich, it will be a disaster. Is this human talk?"
As soon as Su Yehao finished speaking, he immediately asked and answered himself, shook his head and added:
"I don't think so. Why can residents of Western countries achieve a high-quality life easily and with very little labor? Because they have capital and technology, and they firmly control the economic lifeline by formulating rules.
"
"If we think of ways to maintain our advantages in some key areas and shift from labor-intensive and resource-intensive enterprises to the direction of generating high added value, in the future, I may hope that through my efforts, we can overcome the limitations of our Chinese people.
The ceiling, push it up a little higher."
"If we use the wealth created as a reference, this is equivalent to making some people's lives more valuable. The home appliances they save for half a year to buy may only cost half a month's salary in the future..."
Hear the words.
Zheng Yongwen couldn't help but clapped his hands and said with emotion:
"It is a very valuable pursuit in life, enough to make you work hard for it for decades more. The United States has the military as the backing, and through culture, the U.S. dollar, and high technology, it can firmly maintain its own advantages, and the oil-producing countries in the Middle East have resources.
The mainland seems to have everything, but lacks everything. The development of industrial products with high added value is indeed the direction to maintain its own competitiveness and develop its economy."
Although Zheng Yongwen can understand Su Yehao's thoughts, he is actually unable to touch on these levels.
Su Yehao is different.
You need capital, you need technology, you need technology, and you need to know the general direction of development, your personal influence is still increasing day by day.
If we fully promote the development of semiconductors, smart terminal equipment, the Internet, electric vehicles and other industries, it may be possible to push the ceiling that restricts Chinese people even higher to some extent.
In the future, it will cost tens of billions of dollars to import cars every year, hundreds of billions of dollars to import oil every year, and hundreds of billions of dollars to import integrated circuits.
If we find a way to capture part of it, the value created will far exceed the money itself, which is equivalent to spending trillions of yuan more to stimulate the economy every year.
And if it changes from import to export, the benefits involved will be even greater.
At the beginning of this year, Su Yehao also had a sudden idea to promote casinos to learn from Singapore's model, reduce taxes for companies that set up their global headquarters in casinos, and cancel the inheritance tax for wealthy people. This is also a level that ordinary people cannot access.
Some people once said that mainland rich people like to run away and blame society itself for their problems.
In fact, after all, it is nothing more than a matter of interests.
Even in the United States, if there were no high alienation taxes, I believe wealthy Americans would choose to immigrate one after another to avoid inheritance taxes.
Inheritance tax will not hit the truly rich. It will only force wealthy people to choose to immigrate to tax depressions. In all calculations, the gains outweigh the losses.
The same is true for corporate taxes. If the tax rate is set too high, entrepreneurs will move away one after another. The reason why Singapore is able to attract so many companies and allow wealthy people to naturalize with money is because of two words - low taxes.
While other places focus on taxes, Singapore values the value of enterprises and entrepreneurs themselves, which can be regarded as a new way to make money.
In Su Yehao's view, this model of harvesting wealth is in line with the current situation of the casino.
As long as the Hengqin land to the west of the port city is borrowed from the mainland, there will be no shortage of office space, and the casino economy may become more developed.
In the past, Su Yehao was always learning to think about problems like a businessman. Now the situation has changed. Thinking about problems is no longer limited to wealth itself...
