At that moment, Fan Hongyu went into the room and put on a very formal suit and shiny leather shoes. Zhao Ge had just returned from the company and was already dressed very formally, so there was no need to change.
Xu Jiayao's eldest brother Xu Shifeng is the well-deserved successor of the Xu Group, and is now the executive vice president of the Xu Group. It is estimated that in a few years, Xu Yuangong will retire behind the scenes and completely cede the front desk to Xu Shifeng.
Such a young boss who can represent the Xu Group suddenly took the initiative to visit Fan Hongyu, which was really beyond Fan Hongyu's expectation. Naturally, he should take the matter seriously and not be negligent.
Fan Hongyu changed his clothes and stood at the gate of the villa with Zhao Ge to greet the guests.
After a while, a shiny black Rolls-Royce slowly drove into the villa.
Fan Hongyu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Xu Shifeng came to visit and rode in such a luxurious car, naturally not to show off the magnificence of the Xu Group in front of Fan Hongyu, but to show respect for the owner. For example, when the two heads of state are formal, everyone must be neatly dressed.
You can't just wear casual clothes, it would be too rude.
The Rolls-Royce slowly stopped in front of the steps, and Fan Hongyu and Zhao Ge walked down the steps with smiles.
The secretary staff in uniform had already opened the door of the RV, and a young man in his thirties, wearing a suit and leather shoes, stepped out of the car, followed closely by Ling Hefan and Xu Jiayao.
"Welcome Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu's presence will bring glory to the humble house."
Fan Hongyu stepped forward, shook hands with Xu Shifeng, and said with a smile.
Xu Shifeng is the same as Xu Yuangong, with a medium height and a slightly thin face, but his forehead is smooth and wrinkle-free. There is an age difference of more than 20 years. Xu Yuangong is already in his twilight years, and Xu Shifeng will be in his prime. Apart from this, there is another difference, Xu Shifeng
His eyes are much sharper than those of Xu Yuangong. Xu Yuangong's eyes are clear and peaceful, with almost no murderous intent. This is also due to the difference in age and experience.
When one reaches the height of Xu Yuangong's life, he has long looked away and taken a dim view of everything in the world.
Xu Shifeng held Fan Hongyu's hand tightly and said with a smile: "Mr. Fan has traveled thousands of miles to congratulate my little sister on her engagement. Shifeng feels the same way with such kindness. I should have come to visit Mr. Fan a long time ago to express my gratitude in person."
With just this sentence, Fan Hongyu knew that Xu Shifeng was an extremely cautious person. Even though it was a private meeting, Xu Shifeng did not want outsiders to know his true purpose. His sharp personality and cautious behavior are not contradictory. In a certain sense
Speaking of which, Fan Hongyu is also such a person.
"Mr. Xu is too polite."
Fan Hongyu exchanged a few words with Xu Shifeng.
"Mr. Xu, I have admired his famous name for a long time, and it is like thunder in my ears. It is a great honor to meet him today."
Zhao Ge shook hands with Xu Shifeng politely and spoke polite words very skillfully.
"Mr. Zhao, I have admired your name for a long time. I have long heard Ah Fan mention you to Jia Yao, saying that you are a strong woman who is not inferior to men."
Xu Shifeng said with a smile. He clearly addressed Zhao Ge. Ling Hefan may have told him the true relationship between Fan Hongyu and Zhao Ge. It doesn't matter if he calls him "Mr. Fan" or "Mrs. Fan" in front of his servants. At Xu Shifeng's level,
That can't be vague.
Zhao Ge smiled sweetly and said: "I really don't dare to be a strong woman. According to my heart, I would rather be a full-time wife who takes care of my husband and raises my children."
Xu Shifeng laughed and did not answer.
At that moment, Fan Hongyu and Zhao Ge said hello to Ling Hefan and Xu Jiayao, then extended their hands to invite Xu Shifeng to come in. Everyone sat down in the living room, where the maids had already served tea and coffee.
"Mr. Fan, I heard Ah Fan say, it's amazing, it's amazing."
After the maid retreated far away, Xu Shifeng got straight to the point and asked the question.
Ling Hefan said a little frustrated: "It seems that I am still too cautious. If I had known this, I should have followed up vigorously."
He only bought two thousand CL orders. Counting Fan Hongyu and Zhao Ge's orders on the London Stock Exchange and the Singapore Exchange, Ling Hefan's orders were less than one-tenth. In the blink of an eye, the profit gap was ten times.
This is not a difference of millions, but a difference of hundreds of millions of dollars. The advantage over Tiange Group accumulated by relying on investments in other industries will disappear in an instant. After the order is closed, it will simply be a comparison of heaven and earth.
With the assets of Ge Group and Fansheng Trading Company, Tiange Group will far exceed Fansheng Trading Company.
Fan Hongyu smiled and said: "He Fan, you are right to be cautious. Fansheng Trading Company is different from Tiange Group. You have many other industries, and the financial pressure is much greater than that of Tiange Group. The risks are too high.
Going big is never the best idea."
Ling Hefan shook his head repeatedly, feeling sorry for himself.
Fan Hongyu had actually proven his vision to him. Why did he shrink back when things came to a head?
Fan Hongyu reminded him of the two good opportunities, but he gave them up himself.
Xu Shifeng said: "Afan, I think what Mr. Fan said is very reasonable. Different companies have different situations, and the strategies they adopt are naturally different. There is a saying in the art of war, which is to seek defeat before you win. Any investment action must be
Be prepared for the worst. If you can afford the worst outcome, then that’s okay
Do. If the worst result exceeds your ability to bear, you should think twice before taking action... Of course, geniuses like Mr. Fan who have outstanding vision and predict events are very rare in the world. If there is another next time
I suggest you seize this opportunity without hesitation."
"Mr. Xu deserves the prize. I just took a risk and happened to make the right bet. This is not a lesson."
Xu Shifeng smiled and said: "Mr. Fan is too humble. To be honest with Mr. Fan, Shifeng was entrusted by my father to come to visit Mr. Fan this time. My father is old and it is inconvenient to travel. The reason for neglect is that
Please invite Mr. Fan and Mr. Zhao Haihan."
These words were said too politely, and Fan Hongyu and Zhao Ge quickly expressed humility.
"Mr. Fan, I would like to take the liberty to ask if Mr. Fan can give me some advice on the future trend of the crude oil market."
Fan Hongyu said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, there is no need to be so polite. I have been dealing with He Fan for more than a year or two, and we know each other well. Since Mr. Xu and He Fan are close relatives, naturally we are all friends. Between friends, it is
We should be honest with each other... Regarding the trend of the crude oil market in the future, I think so. Oil prices will continue to rise, and it should be possible to approach 40 US dollars or even exceed it."
Xu Shifeng nodded. According to the crazy rising trend of international crude oil prices yesterday afternoon and this morning, it will not stop abruptly. There is still inertia, but when it reaches the peak of 40 US dollars, it is hard to say.
"Does that mean that oil prices will remain at this level for a long time to come?"
Xu Jiayao interjected and asked.
Fan Hongyu shook his head with a smile and said: "That's not true. Based on the current global consumption level and industrialization level, it is basically impossible to maintain such high oil prices for a long time. As long as the United States sends troops, oil prices will generally stabilize. Of course.
, the possibility of an immediate sharp decline is not very high. The key depends on the scale and purpose of the U.S. sending troops and the authorization given to the president by the U.S. Congress."
Xu Shifeng nodded and said: "Well, the United States is the largest oil consumer. If such a big crisis occurs in the Gulf, it is almost inevitable for the United States to send troops to intervene. As Mr. Fan said, the key lies in the intensity of the United States' intervention. Mr. Fan said this
, and how to analyze it?”
"The United States should intervene in all aspects. It is not in the interests of the United States to just maintain the current situation and prevent Iraq from further expansion. The U.S. government has always been very forceful in its behavior and is accustomed to being the world's policeman and appearing as a savior who upholds justice.
In fact, the United States has always wanted to expand its actual influence in the Gulf.
It's just that there is no suitable excuse. Now that Saddam has offered such a God-given opportunity, the Americans are disrespectful and can only accept it. I think that this time the United States will not only help liberate Kuwait, but will also do everything it can to help liberate Kuwait.
There are ways to weaken Iraq. Both Iraq and Iraq are at odds with the Americans, so it would be good to weaken one of them."
"So, there is another chance?"
Ling Hefan's eyes lit up and he said hastily.
After all, he has been in the business for a long time, and his keen vision is far superior to Zhao Ge. It will take several more years of hard work before Zhao Ge can grow into a real business giant.
Fan Hongyu smiled and nodded: "When the United States completely drives Iraq out of Kuwait, it will be a second chance."
Xu Shifeng said: "I completely agree with Mr. Fan's analysis. Mr. Fan, I really didn't expect that Mr. Fan is not only familiar with local governance, but also has such a profound understanding of international political and economic trends. I admire him, I admire him!"
As he said that, he clasped his fists towards Fan Hongyu and raised his hands repeatedly.
Fan Hongyu smiled and waved.
"Mr. Fan, Shi Feng has a heartfelt request..."
"Mr. Xu, please tell me, but if you have orders, you will obey them."
"Haha, Mr. Fan is really happy. I just thought that if possible, our Xu family would be very happy to cooperate with Tiange Group. Mr. Fan, do you think the three of us can set up a cooperation fund to advance and retreat together?"
Xu Shifeng said tentatively, his eyes quite eager.
Fan Hongyu has proven with facts that his grasp of the international trend is so accurate. Xu Shifeng nominally proposed to cooperate with Zhao Ge, but in fact he wanted to use Fan Hongyu's outstanding vision in the long term to seek huge benefits for the Xu Group.
Fan Hongyu laughed.
Not long ago, he talked to Zhao Ge about inviting the Xu Group to form a regional consortium. Zhao Ge was still worried about how to make this suggestion to the senior bosses of the Xu Group, but Xu Shifeng took the initiative to give it to him so quickly.
Came to the door.
"Mr. Xu, I completely agree with the idea of establishing a cooperation fund."
Fan Hongyu said cheerfully.
Xu Shifeng also laughed, stood up, stretched out his hand to Fan Hongyu, and said: "Mr. Fan's decisiveness in killing and killing, Shifeng greatly admires him. I hope to have a pleasant cooperation with Mr. Fan in the future!"
“A pleasure to work with!”
Next, the atmosphere in the living room became very harmonious. Even though I met Xu Shifeng for the first time, I still felt a little unfamiliar. Compared with the politeness and caution when I first entered the door, it was very different. After all, shopping malls and officialdom are different.
Once you decide to cooperate, even if you show intimacy, you must pretend it.
The officialdom is different. In the officialdom, the deeper the cooperation, the more dull the interactions between them become.
"I wonder what specific plans Mr. Fan and Mr. Zhao have for our cooperation?"
Xu Shifeng picked up the coffee, took a sip, and asked casually.
Fan Hongyu smiled and said: "When it comes to specific business cooperation plans, Mr. Xu and He Fan are from the Fang family. I am just a layman, so how can I dare to do whatever I want? Naturally, Mr. Xu has the final say. Ge'er and I are just attached to Jiwei and follow the lead of the horse.
."
Xu Shifeng smiled and said: "Mr. Fan is too polite. The so-called profession has specialization. We are just doing routine work, predicting and judging the general trend, but no one can compare with Mr. Fan."
Xu Jiayao pursed her lips and smiled softly: "Then let's divide the work and cooperate."
The so-called division of labor and cooperation naturally means that everyone contributes money and people, and in terms of general trends, everything depends on Fan Hongyu. In this team, Xu Shifeng, Ling Hefan, and Zhao Ge are the main body, and Fan Hongyu is the soul. At least in the next ten years or so, this situation will
There won't be much change.
Now everyone exchanged basic opinions on specific cooperation plans.
At the end of the day, Zhao Ge suddenly asked: "Jia Yao, is there no big problem with Miss Guo?"
Xu Jiayao smiled slightly and said: "Meiling's problem is not big, but Ding Kai's trouble is not small. Ding Group held an emergency board of directors this morning and decided to comprehensively reorganize the management of Ding Investment Company. Ding Kai has been dismissed..."
"In one day, Ding lost so much money, and Ding Kai brought it all on himself. This incident can also be regarded as a lesson to him. He should be more restrained in the future. He knows what it means to have a better world and a better person."
Ling Hefan said calmly, with a sarcastic smile between his eyebrows.
Xu Jiayao nodded repeatedly, feeling the same way: "Yes, Ding Kai is too self-righteous. The elders of the Ding family used to be too indulgent to him. In fact, that was not good for him, but harmed him."
Fan Hongyu smiled and said calmly: "This matter may not be a bad thing for Mr. Ding. With his kind of character, if he always refuses to restrain himself, it may not be as simple as losing some money."
Ling Hefan couldn't help but shudder. From Fan Hongyu's seemingly peaceful words, Ling Hefan could taste the strong anger.
Speaking of which, I don't blame Fan Hongyu for being angry. As long as he is a man, who can tolerate Ding Kai's behavior?
Not to mention Fan Hongyu’s strong character. Maybe it’s a good thing that Ding Kai suffered a loss this time. As long as he stays away from Zhao Ge from now on, Fan Hongyu will no longer miss him.
Although he was far away in Hong Kong, Ling Hefan could still feel how terrifying it was to be thought about by someone like Fan Hongyu day and night.
Xu Shifeng said calmly: "Ding Kai is frivolous and arrogant. It is only a matter of time before he is taught a lesson. Ah Fan, Jia Yao, you should have less contact with him in the future, so as not to suffer the same disaster."
Naturally, Xu Jiayao has already mentioned it to her eldest brother about the feud between Fan Hongyu and Ding Kai.
"Okay, big brother."
Ling Hefan and Xu Jiayao answered together, very respectfully.
