Time Smuggling Starting from the Year 2000

Thanks to Bismarck, thanks to the war, thanks to the merchants from France, Britain and all over the world, and thanks to the profit-seeking capital, all these digested 5,000 tons of wheat and rice, 300 tons of corn, and dozens of tons of spices and sugar. It's a pity that the Chicago Board of Trade was just established in 1885, and its radiant surface could not reach the German region. If not, Huang Xuan believed that 2,500 tons of wheat and 2,500 tons of rice would make short sellers have a good drink. According to Defra's statistics, the output of wheat per hectare in modern agriculture is only 8 tons, and 5,000 tons is equivalent to the output of 600 hectares. It's really trivial. With 54,000 Thalers in hand, Huang Xuan felt like he had nowhere to go. If he was in Paris, even in Hamburg, he would be able to earn thousands of times the profit. However, here is the Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany's most remote forest region, where only timber and agricultural products exist. There are still two days before the return journey. In the era when there were no planes to rely on, the fastest mode of transportation was the railway. However, the German railway is somewhat different. Perhaps because of years of division and wars, the German railways were planned and built in units of cities. In other words, from point a to point c, if you need to pass through point 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. And people who hope to be more comfortable entering France will be disappointed, because France actively restricts the entry of Germans. Basically, the only supplies that Huang Xuan could bring home were wood. "It would be great if we could confirm the location and time." Huang Xuan never forgot about it. 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 hissed and walked towards a new chamber of commerce. Although there are no celebrity paintings to buy, but if the standard is lowered, the quality of Falz's wood is still quite good. Here I need to thank Hartig again. He started the vigorous "forestation movement" in the position of director of the State Forestry Administration. "The Europeans in the 19th century were full of hope and desire to conquer. They thought they had touched the essence of the world, maybe they had already begun to touch God. Grow according to your own needs. In fact, in the first few years of the afforestation movement, the accumulated annual growth of these artificial forests increased steadily, but in the early 20th century, stretches of forests began to be harassed by insects, and strong winds even knocked down hectares of forests. In order to plant artificial forests, the Germans cut down forests in large swaths. At the same time, the mature trees decades ago were also felled and sold, and among them, the most were beech, oak, and oak. When Huang Xuan took out a large amount of cash to buy these timbers, the expressions of the forest farms could almost be described as ecstatic. This was not only because Huang Xuan didn't need them to transport the timbers, but also because he used cash transactions to conduct transactions here. The chamber of commerce used to trade on credit. If Huang Xuan hadn't insisted on selling the grain at a price lower than the market price, he wouldn't be able to get cash. The composition of German forestry is still dominated by private forests. Forest owners pay taxes to the government every year, and then they can dispose of their own properties at will. This measure has basically continued. In this situation, Huang Xuan can almost freely choose the type and quality of wood he wants to buy. Of course, it is Lorraine who actually chooses. After two full days of picking and collecting about 60,000 cubic meters of wood, Huang Xuan was let off by Lorraine and sent back home. Lying on the bed in the bedroom, Huang Xuan nodded and fell asleep. ... In the morning, the red sun opened its eyes, reflecting the whole of St. Paul in red and yellow. Li Qing knocked on the door lightly, and said, "Huang Xuan, Mr. Aubrey White is looking for you. It is said that Mr. Yu Liye introduced you." "Ah!" Huang Xuan's fluffy hair stood on end I got up, shouted I got it, and struggled to get out of bed. Aubrey White is a New England American, Catholic, wearing a neat suit, no beard, only in his 30s, but Huang Xuan guessed that he must be over 40 years old. He brought an interpreter, a young Chinese, probably a sea turtle who couldn't return home. Huang Xuan just washed up roughly. Although he had already taken off his pajamas, he changed into a T-shirt, which was very different from Aubrey's suit and leather shoes. The latter greeted Huang Xuan as if he didn't care, stretched out his right hand and said, "Mr. Huang, I'm Aubrey White from Citigroup Global Financial Corporation. This time, I was introduced by Mr. Yu Liye. I can start a business relationship with you." "Tea or coffee." Huang Xuan smiled and shook hands with Aubrey, followed by his translator. He took the lead to sit down and asked, "About what kind of business?" "Coffee, thank you." Aubrey whispered to Li Qing, then turned his head to Huang Xuan and said, "I think you have heard that our company is Solomon The professional asset management company after the split from Smith Barney, the company hopes to manage your assets on behalf of Mr. Huang." Huang Xuan rubbed his nose and said with a smile, "Have you talked to my parents? My assets are still in the custody of my guardian." "I mean your personal assets.

Huang Xuan squinted 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 After the members get the inheritance or take charge of the housekeeping, they will become the managers of a family. This is a common practice in the American banking and financial industry, but in recent years, Europeans have also learned it. Thinking of this, Huang Xuan Thinking of pranks again, he said, "Does Mr. Walter know the amount of my personal assets? "" 2 million US dollars in cash and 24% of Xinye's equity, and there is also an electrolytic aluminum plant. "Aubrey didn't need to look at the information, and quickly said it. It seemed that he had done some research. However, these materials were all a month ago. He just spent all the cash and got it from the Japanese. I got 300 million US dollars, and there is no need to pay taxes. Although it is considered a black money, but with the escort of Lorraine and no special person to check, it can basically be included in personal assets. Seeing that Huang Xuan was silent, Aubrey continued Dao: "Although Salomon has been merged into Citigroup, the company still has strong asset management experience and capabilities. We can guarantee that your assets will increase by more than 6% in the next year. In fact, the assets we manage Assets often have a 10% rate of return. "He paused, and continued: "We are still the best capital operation company in the world. If Mr. Huang Xuan needs it, we can provide thoughtful and meticulous services from consulting to mergers and acquisitions and reorganization operations. The level of translation is very good, but Lorraine is even better. Huang Xuan didn't say a word, but just listened quietly. He was originally not interested in other people's asset management. Lorraine has basic financial knowledge, and the money in his hands is too large to be handed over to others, but Aubrey's last sentence attracted him. He really needs it now. A professional institution conducts asset operations, and Lorraine has too many things to deal with. Tapping the table with his middle finger, Huang Xuan smiled and said, "I know about Salomon, 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 , nodded slightly and waited for Huang Xuan to continue. "I want to acquire a storage company. The business scope should cover Sao Paulo and the nearby port of Santos. The storage equipment should be good, the type should be complete, and the total amount should be large. The amount should be within 20 million US dollars. If your company can satisfy you To complete this acquisition, I think I will consider it." Huang Xuan's words sound like a mother's, but Aubrey nodded as a matter of course, and said, "No problem, I will do it within three days I submitted the acquisition outline to you." "I look forward to your good news." Huang Xuan stood up with a smile, and shook hands with Aubrey. ps: There seems to be no recommendation this week, so I can only rely on friends who are still reading.
