Chapter 122 The first business direction

Mexico has no room for investment under the impact of the economic crisis. This is what most people think of Mexican companies at that time, so countless international capital fled Mexico, and even Mexicans themselves think so. So at that time, President Gonzalez planned the reform of state-owned enterprises and had already lowered the stock price of state-owned enterprises to a very low level, but no one was concerned about it.

But at that time I could know that the fact was not the case. At that time, it was just Mexico's financial and foreign exchange systems that collapsed. The essence of all industries had not changed. Real estate companies' buildings would not collapse due to the depreciation of pesos, mineral companies' mines would not dry up due to the collapse of the company, and the equipment in those factories would not be destroyed. They still exist.

So I think their value still exists, but it is seriously undervalued. I think this is the same as stocks. When everyone says you are good, you are only worth one hundred dollars, but someone is willing to buy it at a high price of two hundred or even three hundred dollars. On the contrary, when everyone is saying you are bad, the same thing, the same value of one hundred dollars, may not even be interested in fifty or even forty dollars.

This is very bad, but it is also a huge business opportunity full of challenges, because people all over the world were full of misunderstandings about Mexico, they always hid behind computers and guessed the situation based on piles of useless numbers. They never really understood Mexico, and they knew all the companies here, and obviously there was something wrong.

But what's worse is that we Mexicans believe in this. Only I happened to see this business opportunity at that time. I believe Mexico will shine again. Then I happened to have some money in my hands, so I bought these companies. I was very lucky. The final result proved that I was right, so I naturally became the richest man in the world.

This is what a businessman from Mexico said to the media after becoming the richest man in the world. Since this is the first richest man in the world to be born in an underdeveloped country, it caused a sensation around the world at that time, so Zhou Ming, who is used to paying attention to current affairs, also paid attention to it.

Zhou Ming was only concerned at that time because of his curiosity, and he would never have thought that there would be another useful one day, because the businessman also said in an interview that the most successful investment at that time was the project of Mexican National Telecom.

Zhou Ming even remembers some details he found online at that time, which was the Mexican president's state-owned enterprise reform plan. He announced the sale of shares in Mexican State Telecom, and the richest man took over State Telecom by purchasing 20% ​​of the shares, and obtained the Mexican government's monopoly position in the telecom industry within seven years. He also moved to the international market and finally became the world's richest man.

Janice looked at Zhou Ming in confusion: Did I say something wrong? Why did you have such an expression, Mr. Zhou Ming

Zhou Ming shook his head and said it was nothing. How could he have thought that there would be such a thing? Originally, these news were just fragments of memory he threw in the corner, but he didn't expect that he would appear in front of him now. At this time, Zhou Ming really wanted to shout, "It's great to be reborn."

However, Zhou Ming thought of another question: It’s just that the Presidential Palace wants to sell the state telecommunications news. You just told me directly. Is it okay? Isn’t this a leak?

Zhou Ming had to ask this question. After all, this is a state-owned enterprise reform, which involves too much content. Even if the former Soviet Union was almost collapsed, the government still knew that it was necessary to conserve all the information about the sale of state assets. How many capitalists spent a lot of money to dig out such a little news from the government. But now, Janice said it casually

This is too casual, either Janice has no sense of confidentiality at all. If so, then Zhou Ming will have to reconsider her positioning and the news she can know. However, Janice's answer then surprised Zhou Ming.

Leaking the secret I don't understand why you think so, Mr. Zhou Ming, because this is not a secret at all.

Janice told Zhou Ming: This is what my father told me. He said that the news has been released by the Presidential Office. Many consortiums have received the news, but there seems to be no movement. So my father asked me to ask my classmates if anyone else is interested in the shares of State Telecom. If I go back and tell my father, Mr. Zhou Ming, you want to acquire shares of State Telecom, he will be happy and not have time to do so.

Janice's answer was completely beyond Zhou Ming's expectations, but it also made Zhou Ming feel suspicious. After all, this is the time to rob national assets. No matter how bad the current economic situation in Mexico is, no one participates in the robbery, which is obviously unreasonable.

To put it simply, someone deliberately manipulates all this behind the scenes, creating the illusion that no one claims state assets, so as to lower the acquisition price even more; this kind of thing should not be too common in corporate mergers and acquisitions. As a person who started his career in finance and is still studying economics at Harvard, Zhou Ming can naturally see through it at a glance. As for the person who manipulates behind the scenes, it is obvious.

Then Janice seemed to remember something again and said: By the way, my father also said that if no one or enterprise wants to acquire shares of State Telecom in the near future, the Presidential Palace will launch a bidding for share subscription, and at that time, some domestic financial companies or powerful individuals and foreign consortiums in Mexico will be forced to participate in the bidding.

If this is true, I think Jennis, you can go back and tell your father that I, Zhou Ming, are willing to acquire shares of State Telecom. Zhou Ming immediately stated.

This made Jennis' eyes widen: Is this true? Mr. Zhou Ming, you really decided to acquire shares of State Telecom. You are not lying to me, right?

Zhou Ming told her very seriously: Of course this is true, I will tell you that I will buy it.

Just kidding, such an obvious way to get rich is in front of you. If you don’t catch it, you’d be too sorry for your IQ. As for the wealth you already have, Zhou Ming would not have thought that he had too much wealth. Now that he knows how the church uses wealth to dominate the world behind his back, he can’t let go of any wealth, otherwise how can he break the order and become a real world wealthy family?

That's great, I believe my father will be very happy

Janice shouted very happily, but then she became confused: But the State Telecom Corporation manages the entire Mexican Internet industry. Even if it only sells some shares, it still requires a huge budget. Even Bankman Bank may not be able to take out the money so easily. Mr. Zhou Ming, can you take it out.

Zhou Ming smiled very proudly and told her: Don't worry, I'm so poor now that I'm the only money left.

Zhou Ming and Janice's colleagues ended here. First of all, it's time to send Janice back tonight. In addition, it's enough to get such important information from Janice this time, so I only need to copy the journey of the richest man in Mexico's world and it's OK.

In addition, Zhou Ming also sent Janice home very gentlemanly, because he was worried that something would happen to her. On the other hand, Zhou Ming also wanted to make sure that she was really the daughter of the Commissioner of the Finance Department. He couldn't just jump out of a passerby on the road and believed it himself, that's too hasty.

Of course, the final result was very happy, and there was no turning point in the plot. It was precisely because of this that after sending away Janice, Zhou Ming called Mexican President Gonzalez.

Mr. President, I'm sorry to disturb your dinner, but I have a very important thing to tell you, about the industry field I invested in first, that is, the Mexican National Telecom, which is about to be sold. I don't think this is beyond the business scope you have designated for me. Besides, I'm also relieving the dilemma of National Telecom, right? Zhou Ming explained his affairs to him directly as he was answered.

However, Gonzalez did not reply immediately, obviously he was not prepared for Zhou Ming's straightforwardness.

It was not until a long time later that he replied: In principle, I agree very much. After all, selling Mexican National Telecom shares is only the first step in China's enterprise reform. I need to set an example, but I cannot sell them all. I will only sell 10% of the shares at most, so as to ensure that the National Telecom shares can still operate stably after the sale.

I'm sorry that I don't accept 10% of the shares, because in my opinion, if I can't get the right to speak in China Telecom, it's no different from giving money to do charity, and I don't like charity. Zhou Ming then added, in addition, since I saved Mexican Telecom, I still need at least ten years of telecom monopoly rights.

It is impossible for Gonzalez to directly reject Zhou Ming's proposal. What Mexico needs in the future is a free commercial market, and I cannot allow any monopoly industry to emerge.

Gonzalez's refusal to speak up, but Zhou Ming noticed another problem: So, has the President agreed to sell me more shares?

Gonzalez didn't expect Zhou Ming to notice such a tricky angle. He was stunned at the time, but before he could react, Zhou Ming then said: I am a businessman, and I also support the free market. However, as far as Mexico is concerned, in addition to State Telecom, are there other communication companies here? So it is not a contradiction between gaining the right to speak in the State Telecom company and engaging in market monopoly.

Zhou Ming then said: Of course, the Mexican government can also support or support other small communication companies to compete with me, but I think it is still impossible to surpass it in a short period of time, so this is no different from issuing a monopoly license, right?

Zhou Ming finally said: But I also understand Mr. Gonzalez's situation. You don't have the final say, so maybe you can ask other people.

Zhou Ming was right. Gonzalez alone had no choice but to make a decision. He needed a permission, and only the Patriarch Brando of the Maronites was the only one who could give this permission.
