Chapter 762 Donald's Treasure
The surrounding walls are made of unknown metal, with two circular vents with a diameter of twenty centimeters at the top. It is completely impossible for the thief to come in through the hole.
After Han Xuan talked about Donald's hobbies, he walked towards the pile of money that used hundreds of dollars to make a pyramid-like banknote.
I touched the paper with my hands. It was really money, not a craft used as a decoration.
“I’ve got Hyatt Hotel.
That is my most important industry. Even if it was difficult for the past few years, I never thought about asking for them.
But now, I decided to put all my energy into the real estate company.
Hyatt Hotel received 50% of its shares and received US$140 million. I asked Hyatt Group for cash payment.
These money are new banknotes that were directly brought from the Federal Reserve. They have never been circulated and used, and the ink smells so comfortable."
Donald reached out and picked up a stack of paper money, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, his expression seemed to be smoking marijuana, and he was enjoying it very much.
"When you have finished your life, remember to deposit the money to my Huamei Bank. You can give it 1% more interest.
Did the Dubai government tell you about real estate development in Dubai.
I think the future prospects of the real estate industry over there are good. You can go to Dubai to hoard a batch of land, and it is best to choose near those landmark buildings that are being developed. The local government has given me a tax reduction policy, and the profit is higher than in the United States."
Han Xuan walked to the place where the tusks were placed more than two meters long and spiral-shaped. The teeth of modern elephants could not grow so long, but could only be of an ancient species.
He asked, "Mammoth ivory? Is it a fossil pair of mammoth ivory?"
“Yes, the mammoth ivory I bought from the filming.
They lived in the years between about 11,000 years and 3,700 years ago, and corpses of mammoths frozen in frozen soil and ice were often found in Alaska and Siberia.
It takes 25,000 years to become a fossil, and the mammoth ivory is still an ivory and has not become a fossil.
These big guys, who can grow to more than a dozen tons, still lived on the earth in 2000 BC, but were extinct due to human hunting and warming of the climate."
Donald was busy opening the safe, taking out pieces that were more than ten centimeters thick, and turned around and said, "The Ambassador of the United Arab Emirates to the United States came to me some time ago and asked me to invest in Dubai.
They said it was your suggestion and called to ask you, but the number couldn't be reached. At that time, you were on vacation in the Maldives.
So I sent someone to check the development of real estate in Dubai over the years. The population there is too small, the potential market size is small, and the government allocates welfare housing to Dubai's residents. Is there really a prospect of investment?"
“The Dubai government’s development plan is interesting, and they are already trying to turn their ideas into reality.
Nowadays, land prices in Dubai are not high, you can stock up on a batch of land like you did in New York.
Now that the global economy is recovering, while the price of building materials has not risen, we will first develop some high-end villas to place them, and wait until the price increases before starting.
?I heard that on the coast of the Arctic Ocean, mammoth fossils are everywhere on a small island in the Russian territorial waters. Those fossils are brought out from the soil on the shore when ice flows, and they accumulate on that island.
In Alaska, people still live in houses built with mammoth ivory.
With the implementation of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Wild Fauna and Flora in the past few years, ivory was prohibited from being circulation in the countries that signed the treaty. I think mammoth ivory will become a substitute for ivory in the future.
There are quite a lot of this thing in the world. I'll ask someone to help me stock up on a batch later. Maybe I can make a small profit when it appreciates."
"Han, no wonder you can get rich. With this keen eye for business, it is not something that ordinary people can do.
How could they tell from a mammoth ivory that it would appreciate.”
Donald had found the information, but seeing that Han Xuan was looking at his large collection, he was not in a hurry to go out.
“Many people know.
But they don’t have the capital to hoard, so the rich have the capital to realize their business ideas.
Therefore, the poorer the poorer the richer the richer.
The period from a poor man to a millionaire was the most difficult. After the first $10 million, the next thing would be much easier.
If you want to become a billionaire, you have to set a small goal first and make ten million before you talk about it.”
Donald almost choked to death by these words. How many Americans have hundreds of millions of people?
He spoke, "This small goal is a little bigger.
At least 99.99999% of people can't finish it after struggling for a lifetime. They are not you, Han.
I will first draw about $100 million and invest in Dubai as you ask. When the board of directors votes, will you support me?"
"Of course, I'm most annoyed by the board of directors. They will use pig-like ideas to reject the right decision.
In the future, even if my company goes public, it will definitely occupy more than 51% of the voting rights, and no one can control me."
Han Xuan was using this to complain about the Starbucks board of directors.
Some time ago, in order to discuss the issue of expansion to other countries, he asked Schultz to hold a board meeting on his behalf. He did not go and discussed it with them by phone.
At the end of March in the United States, corresponding to the autumn in the southern hemisphere, the coffee beans that were signed with local farmers to grow last year are already being picked.
The output of high-quality coffee is completely comparable. Although it cannot match the new type of coffee beans specially cultivated by Starbucks, due to the special process, it is not afraid of the taste becoming worse.
But those shareholders believed that they should be busy with the domestic market first and then expand outward when the market is saturated.
However, companies in other countries are already imitating Starbucks' practices and expanding to seize the market.
Having been unable to convince those shareholders, Han Xuan directly used his shares to vote, rejected their opinions, and forced Schultz to start expanding, and his first stop was Canada, Britain and France.
This incident made Han Xuan deeply understand the trouble the board of directors could cause, and praised the old man for his foresight.
If it weren't for not listing or external shares, maybe Sos Group wouldn't be the Han family long ago
I went around in the vault and read Donald's collection of essences.
Han Xuan stopped next to a knife stand, and a golden scabbard with the traditional Chinese characters "Tianzi No. 17" and "Proton" attracted his attention.
Han Xuan knew this knife, put on the white gloves placed on the shelf, held the white jade handle and the back of the knife, and turned it over.
The back is indeed written with "Made in the Qianlong Period" and the knife also has a pattern of auspicious dragon flying to the sky.
At that time, in order to commend the respect of ancestors, Emperor Qianlong warned his descendants not to forget the ancestor system and advocate martial arts, and issued an order to cast three series of heaven, earth, and man, and a golden peach-skin sheathed waist knife.
A total of ninety pieces started from the 13th year of Qianlong and was not finally completed until the 60th year of Qianlong.
It was divided into four batches, lasting forty-seven years.
Among them, there are thirty golden peach-skin sheathed waist knives in the Tianzi, ranging from Tianzi No. 1 to Tianzi No. 30.
Most of these things are hidden in the Forbidden City. I didn’t expect that the sword of the sky size would be scattered outside... (To be continued.)
