Chapter 222 A quarter of a billion households

"Mr. Cai, I am Xian Yaowen."

After leaving Accra, Xian Yaowen did not go back to Hong Kong directly. Instead, he arrived in Singapore and went straight from the airport to the telephone company to make long-distance calls.

Although it was early morning in the United States, Cai Zhiyong was not unhappy when he received the call from Xian Yaowen. Instead, he was quite excited, "Mr. Xian, you finally contacted me."

Xian Yaowen chuckled lightly, "I can tell that Mr. Cai has made a lot of gains. A few days ago, I was in a place where communication was inconvenient and I didn't pay attention to the U.S. stock market. I bothered Mr. Cai to tell me in detail."

"Okay." Cai Zhiyong held down his heart that was about to beat out of his chest and said as calmly as possible: "I completed the opening of the position on June 6, and the next day on June 22, the Dow Jones Index fell. On the 6th, war broke out on the Korean Peninsula, and the Dow Jones Index plummeted. By July 23, the Dow Jones Index fell from a high of 6 points to 25 points, giving up all the gains in the first half of this year.”

As he spoke, Cai Zhiyong could no longer keep his tone calm, and said slightly excitedly: "I opened the position at the highest point, closed the position at the lowest point, and got all the dividends from this index drop."

"Congratulations to Mr. Cai, and congratulations to myself. Now, please tell me that exciting number."

"512.7."

"What a wonderful number." Xian Yaowen glanced at his watch, "My current time is 30:77 p.m., I already have a dinner appointment, and it is inconvenient to call the United States, so I ask Mr. Cai to wait for another hours. If You sleep in tomorrow, and when you wake up, the bank will call you: Hi, Mr. Cai, please come to the bank to sign for the checks, one with a face value of US$, and the other...

"Mr. Li, I don't tell lies in front of real people. I don't care about rubber. This is just a speculation by chance, just to make profits."

"please."

"Okay." Narcissus nodded.

Xian Yaowen pretended to smile awkwardly, "There is no hurry. I have been away on business for a while, and many things in Hong Kong have been delayed. I will return to Hong Kong immediately after the betrothal gift is completed."

"I understand. Please rest assured, Mr. Xian, I will definitely not spread any rumors."

Upon hearing this, Xian Yaowu stepped forward to greet Narcissus, who responded generously and appropriately.

Narcissus smiled solemnly, "It's all thanks to the teacher's good teaching."

Li Chengzhi waved his hand and said it was a trivial matter, and then said: "Mr. field?"

After taking a shower, I sat at the desk and read the newspaper for a while. The time came to half past six.

"Mr. Li, I'm asking you to meet this time because I want to ask you, the matchmaker, to continue to help with the subsequent process." As he spoke, Xian Yaowen handed over a red envelope, "Please accept your kindness."

What he should worry about is the whereabouts of the balance of 385.7 million U.S. dollars. The basic principle is that the United States earns money and the United States spends it, and goes back to where it came from. The 260 million U.S. dollars will be invested in the stock market with an investment mentality, become a shareholder through stock trading, and enjoy the dividends in peace. , of the remaining 125.7 million US dollars, 80 US dollars is already a good deal, and only 47.5 US dollars has no idea at the moment.

"I see." Li Chengzhi suddenly realized, "Then when I discuss it with the Cai family, we will choose the nearest auspicious day."

"gentlemen."

"Stop talking, let me show you something serious." Xian Yaowen came to the car and pushed Xian Yaowu, and then said to the driver: "Master, Dahua Hotel."

After the two of them introduced each other, Xian Yaowen leaned into Shuixian's ear and said: "I have already made an appointment with someone today and I don't have time to talk to you anymore. You can take Yaowu to dinner later and introduce him to a simpler Pipa restaurant after dinner. Please go to bed early and have afternoon tea with me tomorrow."

"Thank you and have a nice day."

Xian Yaowen hugged Narcissus and patted her back, "Yixin, you are dressing more and more dignifiedly, a bit like the eldest lady of the He family."

Li Chengzhi chuckled and said, "Mr. Xian is very anxious."

Li Chengzhi stepped on the accelerator and drove Xian Yaowen to the Great World Amusement Park. When they entered the private room reserved in Wing Chun Garden, the two of them humbly gave in to the main seat. They were in a stalemate and sat together in the seats where they were neither in charge nor in charge.

After explaining, Narcissus followed Xian Yaowu, and Xian Yaowen went upstairs to his room by himself.

After hanging up the phone, Xian Yaowen walked out of the phone company without making any other calls. He had made arrangements for the money early in the morning. As long as Jane and Bill Bufalino went to the bank together, they could open a bank card with a balance of 15% and a denomination of 50%. A cash check with a denomination of , and the recipient of the check can only be Cai Zhiyong.

When he arrived at the door of the telephone company, Xian Yaowen saw Xian Yaowu chatting with the taxi driver. His face was flushed and his saliva was flying. It couldn't be a serious topic.

Xian Yaowen came downstairs and saw Li Chengzhi who had just stepped into the lobby from the hotel door. The other party also saw him and came up to him with a smile.

"This couldn't be better." Xian Yaowen said and clasped his fists.

As long as she calls Jane tomorrow at a convenient time, the money expenditure issue will be solved.

After ordering the food humbly, the two began to talk while the waiter poured the tea.

Xian Yaowen let go of Narcissus and pointed at Xian Yaowu, "Xian Yaowu, my younger brother; Yaowu, this is He Yixin, Miss He, a member of our Xian family."

"Thank you. I will give you two poems for Mr. Cai at the end. If I don't speak first when spring comes, no insect will dare to speak. I look forward to the day when Mr. Cai can make waves on Wall Street."

"Mr. Xian, I'm sorry for being late. I have already reserved a seat at Wing Chun Garden. Shall we go there now?"

"I am a landlord, so I should, Mr. Xian, please."

No way, Cai Zhiyong's performance exceeded his expectations, which also made him even more wary of this person. Being too gambling is not a good thing. The US$50 is not so much an investment in Cai Zhiyong as it is an investment in the general trend of the U.S. stock market and a tailwind. The bigger the game, the stronger the gambling nature, and the greater the profits.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the three of them got off the car at the entrance of the Majestic Hotel, and Narcissus, who was looking forward to seeing them, came up to them.

"Mr. Lee."

"This is what it should be." Li Chengzhi happily accepted the red envelope, "Proposing for marriage is a festive event, and I can't help but wish for more joy."

"OK, it seems that Mr. Cai doesn't need to rush to the bank. Please prepare an investment agreement first, and my lawyer will contact you. In addition, I would also like to trouble you to sign a confidentiality agreement. In some aspects, I am more traditional and believe in wealth. Please understand the reason for not revealing anything."

Uh-huh, Mr. Cai, if you have an idea to set up a fund, I will invest for you, starting with $50. "

"Haha, this sentence is more suitable for Mr. Cai. The sunset here is beautiful. Goodbye."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you Mr. Xian." Cai Zhiyong said still excitedly: "While waiting these days, I did have the idea of ​​establishing a fund. With Mr. Xian's encouragement, I became clearer about my ideas."

As soon as he opened the door, he saw two large piles of newspapers on the desk. He couldn't help but nodded happily, and he also had the idea of ​​​​finding a female secretary as soon as possible.

"Thank you very much. I'll ask Mr. Li to go to Jin Man's house tomorrow to discuss the date of birth."

Xian Yaowen said apologetically: "I made an appointment with Mr. Li, and I asked Mr. Li to settle down. It's really rude."

"Mr. Xian, I want to apologize to you. I asked someone to investigate your investment in rubber."

Xian Yaowen said nonchalantly: "Mr. Li, don't worry about it. You can tell people everything. It's okay."

"Thank you Mr. Xian for your tolerance. Mr. Xian is so candid. Let me tell you the truth. Our Li family is interested in the rubber plantation and the gambling agreement in your hands. We want to buy it for 850 million yuan. There is no need for follow-up matters." Mr. Xian is worried."

"What Mr. Li means is that your Li family will take over my promise to the former rubber plantation owner and the fees of the lawyer's office?"

Li Chengzhi nodded, "Yes, Mr. Xian can get the full 850 million."

"Mr. Li, your Li family is at a disadvantage at this price. The current glue price cannot support this price."

Li Chengzhi smiled and said: "Mr. Xian, our Li family is rooted in the rubber industry. We take a long-term view and don't care about short-term gains and losses."

"That's it." Xian Yaowen thought for a moment, "I have a condition."

"Mr. Xian, please speak."

"The conditions I promised to the former rubber plantation owners must be implemented without compromise, and they will be whatever they are."

Li Chengzhi laughed and said, "Mr. Xian is overly worried. Our Li family never does anything to bully others."

Xian Yaowen chuckled and said: "There is another question. I asked a friend to help me guarantee the 200 million yuan for rubber futures. He promised to give me a share, so I asked Mr. Li to clarify the composition of the 850 million yuan."

"What if I say the rubber plantation is a tack?"

"Then it's the tack."

Li Chengzhi and Xian Yaowen looked at each other and smiled.

The Li family was probably going to make a big move in the rubber industry. Things were going very quickly. Before Li Chengzhi went to the Cai family the next day, he signed an agreement with Xian Yaowen and issued a cash check from Overseas Chinese Bank on the spot.

After getting the cash check, Xian Yaowen was a little embarrassed. The Li family purchased it at a premium, but it was difficult for him to withdraw all the money from the Li family's bank. It was still unknown whether the bank could easily mobilize such a large position.

After all, a glimpse of something tells the whole story. The Li family must have been moving a lot lately and are tight on money. Of course, he would definitely be able to withdraw money from Overseas Chinese Bank, but if he did so, he wouldn't expect to continue dealing with the Li family.

He went to Overseas Chinese Bank and handled a transfer of MYR 70 on the spot, which was a two-cent dividend for Michelle; he also handled a withdrawal of MYR 20 and an scheduled transfer of MYR 300 million. , he left a message to the bank manager: "Don't worry."

After leaving the bank, he went to a furniture store, picked out an exquisite red sandalwood dressing box, stuffed 100,000 ringgit into it, and then went to a second-hand goods store to pick up a good-quality Yuan The big head is also put into the dressing box, which means "one in a million".

After doing this, Xian Yaowen returned to the hotel and knocked on Xian Yaowu's door.

It was not Xian Yaowu who opened the door, but a strange young girl with an aura similar to the previous Narcissus.

Needless to say, Xian Yaowu was the groom's official last night.

"Bride, is the groom awake?"

"not yet……"

Before Pipa Zai could finish his words, Xian Yaowu's voice came from the room, "Brother, I'm awake." "Wait a minute and come to my room."

Xian Yaowen's eyes lingered on Pipazai's face for a while again, and then he walked back to his room.

A quarter of an hour later, Xian Yaowu appeared in front of Xian Yaowen, looking guilty.

"What are you guilty of? I won't tell you anything." Looking at Xian Yaowu who felt guilty, Xian Yaowen said happily: "Pipa Tsai is a pitiful person. Since you combed her hair and became her husband, why don't you do something nice and give her a good husband?" She left behind some good memories.”

"Brother, if you don't tell me, I will do it. I'm planning to take her out for an outing." Xian Yaowu said with a smile.

"In this weather, stepping on the stove is not bad." Xian Yaowen spat: "The most you can do is keep her until the morning after tomorrow. It's not good to go too far. If she really likes you, it won't be a good thing for her."

"understood."

"Let's get down to business." Xian Yaowen waved his hand and pointed to the dressing box on the desk, "I have to do something before the outing. Send this dressing box to Room 705, Hua Mansion, Zhulie Street, and give it to Cai Jinman. She will soon become Your sister-in-law, I gave it to her..."

Xian Yaowen hesitated for a moment, but could not think of a more appropriate way to say it. It was not appropriate to say that it was not appropriate to give money to someone else or to the bottom of the box. His purpose of giving money was to show off and show how much he valued Cai Jinman.

"Tell her privately that it is personal money I gave her, and she can use it however she wants."

Xian Yaowu opened the dressing box and saw that it was full of money. He hesitated and said, "Brother, is it too much? What would my sister-in-law think if she knew about it?"

"You don't have to worry about this, I'm sensible." Xian Yaowen glanced at his watch and said, "Go over at two o'clock in the afternoon and tell me your name directly. Jin Man knows that I have a brother like you."

"it is good."

Before Xian Yaowu could set off, Xian Yaowen found a brown paper envelope and put 50,000 ringgit in it before going out again.

In the morning, he had made an appointment with Wang Changhui, who helped sign the agreement. In order to facilitate Wang Changhui's appointment, the two made an appointment at a restaurant near Li Jue and Wang Law Firm.

"Lawyer Wang, this is my personal gratitude to you. Please accept it." After a brief greeting, Xian Yaowen handed the prepared kraft paper envelope to Wang Changhui.

Wang Changhui could barely touch the thickness of the envelope and quickly pushed it back, "Mr. Xian, we all charge commissions for the business you entrust our law firm, so you don't need to give me this anymore."

Xian Yaowen forced the envelope into Wang Changhui's hand and said with a smile: "Lawyer Wang, if you don't accept my gratitude, your law firm will miss out on a series of business from me."

Wang Changhui couldn't help but laugh, "Mr. Xian, you are making it difficult for me."

"If it's difficult for you, just accept it." Xian Yaowen patted the envelope, "Let's seize the time to enjoy the delicious food, and then talk about my future commissions."

Wang Changhui let out a wry smile and put the envelope helplessly into his briefcase.

Because it was lunch, they didn't order wine. In just a quarter of an hour, the two of them had finished eating, and the plates on the table were taken away.

With a cup of tea and a cigar after dinner, Xian Yaowen spread the map of Singapore on the dining table, "Lawyer Wang, do you still remember what I said when we first met when I entrusted you to register DBS?"

"Before DBS is registered, I want to start acquisition business in its name, including shop houses, land, and rubber plantations. There is no rush for the first two, you can take your time. The rubber plantation is more anxious..." Wang Changhui repeated word for word. What Xian Yaowen said at that time.

Xian Yaowen nodded, "Lawyer Wang has a really good memory. Now that the rubber business is over, it's time to do the first two items. First, I would like to ask Lawyer Wang to help me register another company. The company's Chinese name is Jinyao Industrial, and in English Name Kingman.

After Jinyao Industrial is registered, I will inject 400 million ringgit into it, and I will have to trouble Lawyer Wang later..."

Xian Yaowen stretched out his hand and pointed to an area circled in a triangle and an area circled in an oval on the map, "I want to buy a large amount of land in these two areas."

"Mr. Xian, I don't quite understand. If you want to buy land, why don't you buy it in the city center? Instead, go to Changi in the east and Jurong in the southwest? Changi is better, there is Changi Prison and Changi Village there. There are many people living there. Jurong is full of swamps and is completely deserted. Are you going to build a wetland park there?”

Xian Yaowen chuckled lightly, "Lawyer Wang, I didn't buy the land to build buildings or shophouses, but to build a factory. Of course, I have to choose a sparsely populated place. To build a garment factory in Changi, it should not be far or close to the city center, so it is convenient for the workers." It’s a good time to commute to and from a chemical factory in Jurong. No one lives nearby, and no one will come to cause trouble because of the bad smell.”

In the vast history, the development of human society has always revolved around adapting to local conditions. Singapore's area at this time was only more than 500 square kilometers. Excluding areas with relatively concentrated populations, there was not much wasteland that could be used to develop industrial parks. As long as you use some careful observation and thinking, and then boldly speculate that Singapore will develop its own industrial system, and have some funds on hand, you can fully anticipate the rapid development of the era and take a step forward.

"It turns out that Mr. Xian wanted to build a factory, which I can understand. It's just that although the land in Jurong is cheap, filling up the swamp requires a lot of investment."

"Lawyer Wang, suppose I run a car manufacturing factory and you run a car wheel hub manufacturing factory. I am your big customer and give you tens of millions of orders every year. Now I make a request. In order to save transportation time, you have to Will you move the factory next to my factory?”

"Yes." Wang Changhui blurted out.

"That's right. Germany's Ruhr area slowly developed from a coal mine. As long as there is one factory in Jurong, several supporting factories will appear in the surrounding area. When the supporting factories reach a large scale, they will attract other similar factories. Settling in is like the Western clothing stores on Guangheyuan Street. They cluster together to form a large scale. People who want to wear Western clothing will naturally go there. This is the agglomeration effect that Alfred Marshall said. "

Xian Yaowen's words are not entirely true, but his inner thoughts are actually more profound.

“Mr.

Xian Yaowen chuckled and said: "I am in the industrial field. Setting up factories and selling products is my focus. Land speculation is just incidental. Lawyer Wang, the 400 million will be distributed roughly like this: 100 million will be used to buy shophouses. In the next two days, I will I’ll circle a few blocks for you; 100 million is used to buy land in Changi, and my requirement is that the land is relatively flat, and it doesn’t matter if it’s a little off; 200 million is used to buy land in Jurong, and it must be continuous. I don’t want it to be in my area. There is a Vatican in the middle of the land.

I don’t have a place to stay in Singapore yet, so please buy a shophouse first, and Lawyer Wang will look at the arrangements for the rest. Just spend the money as soon as possible. I am used to living in poverty, and I can’t help but spend all the money I have. "

Wang Changhui wrote down the key points in his notebook, raised his brows, and said with a smile: "According to Mr. Xian's way of spending money, more and more money will be spent."

"I'd like to lend you some good advice." Xian Yaowen picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Lawyer Wang, let's just sign a big entrustment contract. I'll entrust all of DBS's legal business. For your law firm, big business is billed separately, and small business is included in the basic service.”

Wang Changhui nodded, "This is the best. I will calculate the most favorable basic service fee for Mr. Xian."

"Yaoyi Investment, another subsidiary of DBS, will not have any major business for the time being. For some minor matters, there is no need to trouble Lawyer Wang and Lawyer Li Jue to kill the chicken with their knives. Just send a trainee lawyer to handle it."

Wang Changhui teased: "Mr. Xian, do you want to appoint someone?"

"Yaoyi investment certainly needs a lawyer with the word "yao" in his name, so his aura will be more suitable."

"Hahaha."

Amidst the harmonious laughter, Xian Yaowen gave Wang Changhui a big contract. Most of the money that had just been received but had not yet warmed up was gone in the blink of an eye.

2 p.m.

Xian Yaowen came to the Yi Shui Cafe on Chen Guilan Street and struggled to meet Narcissus, who was already waiting here.

The reason why it was difficult was that the cafe was not very large, but Yishui had big breasts and a curvy figure. In the words of later generations, she could be called the ceiling of the obese world.

Yishui Cafe is different from other cafes in the self-service format. Here, there is no big teapot on the table, and there are no free refills. If you want a refill, you can only call the Yishui proprietress, and this charming proprietress is pouring the coffee. Sometimes, when you bend down, you will be given a small amount of looming ice cream, so that guests can feast their eyes.

After more than a minute, Xian Yaowen picked up his two eyeballs and sat across from Narcissus.

"This is your first investment?"

Narcissus smiled solemnly and said, "Sir, are you satisfied with my investment?"

"Crooked ways." Xian Yaowen said quietly: "The three main points of catering are environment, service, and taste..."

He picked up the cup of Narcissus, took a sip of coffee, and tasted it carefully. "The taste of the coffee is nothing special, just average. The service method is not novel. The ancients started this routine thousands of years ago. The story of Tofu Xishi There are countless versions to be found.”

He pointed at the furnishings in the store, "The environment in the store is not worth mentioning, let alone the surrounding environment. Even I, a new customer who has only been in Singapore for a few days, have heard of Mr. Yu from Chen Guilan Street. story."

[It is said that there is a playboy named Yu, whose family is rich, and he often goes to Chen Guilan Street to find women. Mr. Yu is rich and powerful and likes to show off his authority. Every time he goes to Chen Guilan Street, he brings a large number of people and rents out an entire row of mansions. Some of the followers he brings are servants and some are bodyguards.

These entourages all carried a red lantern with a big word "Yu" written on it. They hung it at the door of the mansion, letting people know at a glance that Mr. Yu had taken over the red light district of Chen Guilan Street. ]
Narcissus refused: "The business here is very good, but Mr. has been demoted to nothing."

"Business is good only for a while, and seduction with sex won't last long. You can only look at it, not eat it. Men will lose their patience before long."

Xian Yaowen took another sip of iced coffee, put the cup back on the table, and pointed to the sign of the mansion across the street, "From a purely profit perspective, the positioning of the cafe is very problematic. Making money by selling coffee is not advisable. You guys We should talk to the neighboring hotels to discuss cooperation. All the guests you introduce will not only enjoy discounts, but also enjoy better services, and you will receive the introduction fee. "

"Sir, you speak too harshly."

"is it?"

Xian Yaowen turned to look at the owner of the voice, Yi Shui. They were facing each other at a close distance. At a glance, he could see the jagged teeth in half of the mouth. They were slightly protruding and crooked. They looked cute but also very Oriental.

"Yes, it's very unpleasant." Yi Shui placed an empty cup in front of Xian Yaowen and bent down to pour the coffee.

Xian Yaowen knew full well that holding the pipa and half covering his face was beautiful. He turned a blind eye to the approaching ice cream and just deliberately lowered his voice and said: "I'm sorry, I should be quieter so you don't hear me."

Yishui didn't reply, but gave Narcissus a thoughtful look, turned around and walked away while holding the kettle.

Xian Yaowen put the newly brewed coffee in front of Narcissus, "Is Yishui called Yishui?"

"Yes."

"Old acquaintance?"

"We have known each other for several years. Why do you ask, sir?"

"Nothing, just a little curious. I don't think she is Chinese."

Narcissus said softly: "Yishui's mother is from Japan. She was born in Singapore."

"Oh."
