Travel through the Xiangjiang chaebol young master and become Liu Tianxian's godfather

Of course, Ma Qingyang will not stay in the United States for many months, but he will set up the futures operation team and let Davis send people to keep an eye on them.

As soon as there is a stir, you must be ruthless to them.

Because this is an asset of nearly HK$100 million.

$12.5 billion, even if placed in the United States, would be the richest man.

However, in 1979, the United States had not yet begun to evaluate the rich list.

It wasn't until September 1982, after more than a year of reporting and thousands of interviews across the country, that the Forbes America 400 list made its first appearance on newsstands.

It's an unprecedented look at the wealth of the country, with some of the richest veterans on the list, such as the Rockefellers, Mellon, and Duponts, but also upstarts such as Sam Walton (Walmart) and Steve Bridgebooth (Apple).

The richest man in '82 is said to have more assets than the richest man in '79, and the announced wealth seems to be just over $2 billion.

The richest man has quietly accumulated a fortune of $2 billion in shipbuilding and real estate, although some people claim that the richest man has concealed a lot of wealth, but it should not exceed ~ $10 billion.

He declined to comment on the list, but others preferred to be blunt, with one protesting that he and his father earned more than twice as much as we estimated.

Wait a minute, Ma Qingyang found that the more he talks about it now, the more he feels that it is a little impossible, and 100 million US dollars has become more than 10 billion - US dollars just through a futures speculation?

This may be possible in 2023, but it will definitely not be possible in 1979.

Because 1979 was the second year of crude oil futures, the market was not that big at all.

Therefore, Ma Qingyang's income of 12.5 billion US dollars, nearly 100 million Hong Kong dollars, is just a beautiful dream, which is absolutely impossible to appear in reality.

He couldn't have made more than $10 billion from a single oil crisis futures speculation.

Because the amount of money involved in the oil futures speculation itself is not so large at all, whose money does he go to?

Because oil futures only officially started in 1978, by September 1979, the way oil futures trading was not as perfect as it was later, and the market was far from being as big as it was later.

Later, the trading volume of the crude oil futures market was trillions, but in 1979, it was only 10 billion US dollars.

Ma Qingyang can't detach himself from this reality in any way, and make the oil futures trading in 1979 like the oil futures trading in 2023.

......

Now to correct the previous mistake, his crude oil futures trading is now only 5 times leverage!

His $100 million turned into $1.25 billion!

Throw out all the miscellaneous expenses, it is 1.2 billion US dollars, and according to the exchange rate of 7.5, it is 90 billion Hong Kong dollars!

This is more reasonable!

But even so, he became the richest man on Hong Kong Island!

His assets, especially his cash flow, should surpass that of Bao Yugang, the richest man on Hong Kong Island.

Bao Yugang's assets at that time should have been about 10 billion Hong Kong dollars!

Because he only officially counted 40 billion Hong Kong dollars in 1985, becoming the richest man on Hong Kong Island, it was not Li Bancheng's turn at that time.

Of course, although Bao Yugang has a wealth of 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, most of it is a ship, and the cash flow he has should definitely not catch up with Ma Qingyang.

It turned out that in 1981, Bao Yugang's Global Group had more than 200 ships with a total tonnage of 21 million tons, and its comprehensive strength was proud of the others, and it deservedly became the "king of the world's ships".

All this is inseparable from his long-term strategic vision, at the beginning of the business, he bought several ships on a long-term charter basis to stable customers.

The price of long-term charter was low, and many people did not understand it at that time, thinking that they should take advantage of the good market to rent a short term and charge a high price.

However, as soon as the war in the Middle East ended, the world's shipping capacity was instantly overloaded, and business plummeted.

Many people refer to Bao Yugang as the "king of ships", but few people know that Bao Yugang is also a unique vision and achievement in financial investment, he is the largest individual shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, and is a director of HSBC Bank and Defeng Foreign Bank.

Bao Yugang once mobilized 2 billion Hong Kong dollars to join forces with Li Bancheng to win the battle of "Wharf" and became a legend in the business world.

Although Ma Qingyang has more cash flow than Bao Yugang, his influence is far less than that of Bao Yugang.

After all, behind Bao Yugang's 10 billion Hong Kong dollars are 210 ships, more than 10 subsidiaries and agencies, and he has world-class influence.

In 1978, Bao Yugang's maritime kingdom reached its peak, firmly sitting in the first place of the world's seven major ship kings, one of the top ten consortia in Xiangjiang, and by the end of 1981, it had 210 ships with a total deadweight tonnage of 21 million tons.

Fortune and Newsweek magazines called him "the ruler of the seas" and "the king of the seas."

Later, he set up more than 10 subsidiaries and agencies in New York, London, Tokyo and other places, and also concurrently engaged in real estate, terminal warehousing, public transportation and other industries, and successively served as the chairman of the International Association of Independent Tanker Owners, Asia Navigation Co., Ltd., World Shipping and Investment Corporation, World Maritime and Lufeng International Investment Company.

Ma Qingyang is just empty and rich now, and his social status is far inferior to Bao Yugang.

Therefore, Ma Qingyang must quickly convert this money into his influence and status in the business world, and use this influence and status to seek more wealth for himself.

......

Originally, Ma Qingyang wanted to stay in the United States and invest in some promising high-tech companies in the United States, such as Microsoft and Apple.

But it will take months for oil futures to be sold, and if he continues to stay in the United States and does not go back, what kind of disaster will happen to him?

Zhao Yuzhi, whom he likes and admires very much, will probably be like the original time and space, pregnant with the child of her first husband Huang Hanwei, to participate in Shanghai Tang.

Just when the filming of "Shanghai Tang" was about to start, Zhao Yuzhi found out that she was pregnant, and her husband Huang Hanwei did not agree with her to continue filming, but asked her to give up.

But Zhao Yuzhi feels that this drama is not easy to come by, and it is really rare to be able to co-produce it with Zhou Mingfa.

At that time, Zhao Yuzhi was also on the rise in her career, and she didn't want to go home to teach her husband and children, and look at her husband's face, so Zhao Yuzhi didn't listen to her husband and insisted on continuing filming, and her husband Huang Hanwei had no choice but to agree.

So when filming, as long as she encounters a running scene, Zhao Yuzhi is very careful, and the director also deleted some dangerous action scenes.

With the broadcast of the series, the role of Feng Chengcheng played by Zhao Yuzhi was instantly loved by the audience, creating good ratings in various Chinese regions, and Zhao Yuzhi became one of the "Four Big Wireless Flowers" in the 70s with "Shanghi Beach".

Although in the end, Zhao Yuzhi and Huang Hanwei will also cause their marriage to fall apart because Huang Hanwei suspects that she has a leg with Huang Yuanshen, who plays Huo Yuanjia.

But after all, Zhao Yuzhi conceived a child for her first husband, and she always felt a little unhappy.

Ma Qingyang wants Zhao Yuzhi to conceive his child!

......

Ma Qingyang also has another reason why he can't stay in the United States.

His acquisition of high-tech companies on the American side failed.

Whites here are less welcoming of Chinese acquisitions.

Moreover, Ma Qingyang tried to contact Qiaobus, the founder of Apple, and wanted to try to buy his original shares.

Because Apple has not yet gone public at this time, he wants to invest 1.0 million to occupy 50% of the equity.

Everyone knows the character of Bridge Booth, who was originally prejudiced against the middle women, and he was even more reluctant to give away so many shares.

So, Bridge Booth didn't say anything, and just brushed his sleeves away.

In our country, there are many people who worship Qiaobu and think that he is a genius, but a few people know that Qiaobu is full of various prejudices against Zhongwei.

In the original time and space, Qiaobu had been to the island country many times, but he had never been to Zhongwei, although Zhongwei was Apple's largest market and largest production base, he was stunned that he had never been to once, if he was not prejudiced against Zhongwei, then what else could it be!

And he has also been very sharp in his criticism of some things in China, including piracy.

It is undeniable that Apple's entry has completely triggered a domestic business environment in which plagiarism and copycats replace innovation, and this atmosphere of quick success in the wave of reform is somewhat incompatible with the world of Qiaobus, which pursues innovation. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Coupled with the fact that many "fruit fans" who buy Apple products and immediately "jailbreak" to install pirated software, Bridge Booth seems to equate these with the environment of Zhongguo.

It's hard to imagine that Bridge Booth has never been a middle-class player in his life, and as one of Apple's largest markets in the world, it is unpopular in the eyes of Bridge Booth.

Unlike other business leaders in the country, who attach great importance to the Chinese market and frequently come to this hot land, Qiaobu not only never came, but also has a prejudice against this large eastern country.

In fact, Jobs himself was not worthy of worship, especially in private life.

When Bridge Booth was 23 years old, he gave birth to an illegitimate daughter, Lisa, with his college live-in girlfriend, and later refused to recognize Lisa as his daughter for a time. []

Bridgebooth and his wife, Lauren Powell, met at Stanford University and tied the knot in 1991 with three children.

The complex family background has always made Qiaobu's character difficult for people to accept, and he is even called the "devil".

He is like a child who is extremely proud, doing whatever he wants all his life, and he is the only one.

He is outrageous and unreasonable, saying in court that he is "incompetent" in order to avoid responsibility for raising an illegitimate child, and he is mean-hearted and narrow-minded, "If necessary, I will use my last breath and spend the $40 billion that Apple has deposited in the bank, and I will destroy Android because it is a stolen product".

Hashibus is a passionate lover of Zen Buddhism and has traveled to island countries many times in his life.

Qiaobus's introductory book for learning Zen, "The Beginning of the Zen Master", is the work of a Zen master in the island country.

His geniuses, including his discerning strategic thinking and aesthetic artistic design, were deeply influenced by Zen Buddhism.

He is a person who follows his heart all his life, and what he is not interested in will never enter his brain.

It is hard to imagine that such an arrogant and stubborn person is now deified in Zhongwei.

Compared with Bridge Booths, Microsoft's founder Bill Gaici is not so prejudiced against China, but he is still unwilling to accept Ma Qingyang's investment in him.

Because Bill Gaitz is not very short of money now, he still has a very good background.

Although Bill Gates dropped out of school, he was not self-made, his mother was an IBM sensible, and his first business was from IBM, and this background alone can kill 99% of startups.

As Bilgaetes said when he went to China to take a boat tour: "There may be another Bilgaet, but he was born here and is destined to work so hard to pull the boat all his life." We have the opportunity to achieve such wealth and success, purely by luck. "

And behind the luck, Bill Gaitz has a mother with a "not simple" background.

Gets' mother's name is Mary Maxwell Gates, who was a trustee of the University of Washington, the first female president of the United Way Executive Council, and the first female director of the First Intercontinental Bank.

Mary Maxwell Gaitz has a very wide network, from politicians to entrepreneurs to bankers, and she has provided a steady stream of support for Bill Gaitz in the early days of his business, which helped Microsoft grow rapidly.

In addition to Apple and Microsoft, there was also Oracle that was still in the entrepreneurial stage at this time, and Ma Qingyang simply did not go to meet his founder.

When it comes to Oracle, many people always think that this is a company.

The oracle bone inscription is the script that appeared in Zhongguo, and it can be said to be one of the representatives of Zhongguo culture.

But when it comes to Oracle in the world, the first thing many people think is Oracle, the world's largest database company.

Oracle has been exposed to many problems before, they have laid off thousands of employees in Zhongwei, and they are ready to withdraw Oracle, and they can easily earn billions of dollars in Zhongwei every year.

Later, many people discovered a problem, Oracle's fees in China are much higher than those in foreign countries, and the products are exactly the same.

In addition, Oracle has been in China for many years, and has always used foreigners as executives.

Many of Oracle's employees say that no matter how good you do at Oracle, you will never be impossible to become an executive, unless you are a foreigner.

Oracle's boss, Larry Ellison, has always refused to use the middle women as executives, and the middle women do the best, and at most they are just middle-level, in fact, this is the arrogance that most moldy companies have.

Because Ma Qingyang knows very well that at this time, including for a long time in the future, they European and American whites are full of discrimination against Chinese women, and they are not very willing to accept the investment given to them by Chinese women, and they are even more unwilling to accept Chinese women as their bosses.

Therefore, if Ma Qingyang wants to control them, he may need to recruit agents in North America, and foreigners he trusts to invest in them.

The actual equity is held by Ma Qingyang, and the agent only holds it on his behalf.

Originally, Ma Qingyang wanted Davis of the mercenary group to do this, but Davis said that he could go bankrupt even if he opened a military store, and he couldn't do business at all, and it would be difficult for an ordinary agent to do it.

Ma Qingyang saw that Davis had no confidence in doing this, so he didn't force him.

According to Ma Qingyang's previous life experience, the most loyal to him is the woman he has conquered.

In this way, Ma Qingyang immediately thought of conquering a foreign girl by cutting off the beard and letting that foreign girl hold shares on his behalf.

But what kind of girl should I look for?

It must be a beautiful foreign girl, but beautiful foreign girls are all over the streets of New York or Los Angeles, and Ma Qingyang is not interested in this kind of unknown amateur at all.

Ma Qingyang still prefers to look for a future female star in Hollywood to be his investment agent.

Hollywood is undoubtedly the leader in the world, because Hollywood is no longer simply a moldy film culture, where outstanding actors from all over the world gathered, and of course, beauties of many races around the world have gathered, most of these female artists are beauty pageants and models.

They are a unique landscape, they weave their acting skills into wrinkles, and cultivate their strength into a unique charm.

In 1979, there were quite a few Hollywood actresses who had reached adulthood, but most of Ma Qingyang didn't know them at all, and the Hollywood actresses he knew, such as Audrey Hebon, were over 50 years old and old, and they couldn't even describe her as a half-old.

Is there a beautiful woman in her right age, and she's quite famous?

Ma Qingyang asked Davis to send someone to search for information about Hollywood female stars to see if any of those young beauties were familiar to him.

The one who plays the jade woman Elizabeth Taylor is also 46 years old this year, although the maintenance is better than Audrey Hepburn, who is thin and easier to show wrinkles, she can be called a, and the charm still exists, but remembering that she has been married many times in the past, Ma Qingyang is unappetizing.

Which one should I look for?
