Chapter 15 Investment(1/2)
Ruan Mei came upstairs with a tray. Zhao Shanhe sat behind the wide desk, and Zhou Guowei and Song Aihui sat on the desk from left to right, still chatting.
Ruan Mei distributed the tea and coffee to them, pulled a swivel chair, sat next to Zhao Shanhe, opened the notebook, and prepared to record.
"No need to record, it's too troublesome." Zhao Shanhe turned around and took three printed papers from the printer and handed them to them.
"This is the next work step I have planned. You see, what are the shortcomings."
Just saying that there are shortcomings to give suggestions, this is not a discussion, but a notification.
Zhou Guowei instantly understood that Zhao Shanhe was confident, and Song Aihui was not stupid either. He was only one step behind Zhou Guowei and understood. He took the paper and smiled and said, "I am responsible for managing the money, and I don't know much about the specific operation. Lawyer Zhou should be more insightful in this regard."
Zhou Guowei was a very proud person before, and came from a family of law. He had eleven lawyers, two justices, and five senior government officials in his family.
Not to mention in Xiangjiang, even in London, the Zhou family is also a considerable force.
He studied until he was thirty years old, and he started working in a law firm. He worked for fourteen years and accumulated rich experience.
But he was also the first person to serve Zhao Shanhe, and witnessed Zhao Shanhe's wealth from being a billionaire.
In just over two years, Zhao Shanhe soared into the sky like a rocket.
If it were someone else, he might still think that the other party was young, inexperienced, and lacked ability, but he did not look down on Zhao Shanhe at all.
After taking the paper handed over by Zhao Shanhe, he saw the densely packed small words printed on the paper. He put on his glasses and looked carefully.
This is a coordinated arrangement table, which is a sequence table of sixteen procedures.
From forming a lawyer team, registering patents from various countries to the order of each expenditure, all of them are clearly listed.
Zhou Guowei wanted to pick some tricks, but after reading them several times, he didn't find any mistakes.
"There is a very complete arrangement, and even the difference between the mainland law system and the marine law system has been noticed. However, 150 patents have to be applied for at the same time in more than 20 countries, and this fee is inevitable.
More importantly, there is a huge lack of professionals now. Patent applications from different industries need to be explained, but if professionals are arranged, it is easy to lead to technical leakage."
Zhao Shanhe smiled and said, "That's why you, a professional, need to be responsible for forming a team and completing all loopholes."
After looking carefully from a financial perspective, Song Aihui also realized his mind. He said: "Don't worry about expenses. I will arrange for two accounting firms to cross-supervise and operate the funds. However, I don't know much about technology. Is it really necessary to apply for these patents?"
Zhao Shanhe nodded and said, "These 150 patents are just the beginning. I need you to handle this matter well. In this process, you need to discover talents, explore talents, and then build a stable legal team all over the world."
Zhou Guowei frowned and asked, "Do they have other functions?"
Zhao Shanhe smiled. "What if these 150 copies are just the beginning, and there are 1,500 copies afterwards?"
This time, Zhou Guowei stopped talking, but his face showed a shocked expression.
He also understood what Zhao Shanhe meant. This team not only needed to apply for patent establishment, but also established a fixed network of lawyers all over the world to specifically deal with patent competition that may face in the future.
If so, his plan will also change.
He originally wanted to select collaborators from world-renowned law firms, but since he wanted to fix it, he had to cultivate his own people.
Lawyers who are aware of international law, lawyers who are aware of patent law, technical teams, and consulting teams composed of international celebrities.
"There are really 1,500 technical patents?"
“There will be more!”
"Can others prevent these technologies?"
Hearing this aside, Zhao Shanhe couldn't help but smile: "Some newly discovered technologies are actually just a way of thinking, and there are also some technological innovations that can be traced to follow. So we must have these patents in our own hands from the beginning. I have some formula patents that others cannot control, and these patents do not require registration at all."
Song Aihui nodded and said, "Just like Coca-Cola's formula patent, they have always refused to register because the patent has a deadline."
"right."
Zhou Guowei pondered for a while before nodding and said, "I understand. From tomorrow on, I will start to form a team. However, it's time to buy a floor, otherwise there will be no place for office!"
Zhao Shanhe smiled and said, "Buy it, you must buy it. One floor is not enough, so it is best to buy a building directly."
Song Aihui is familiar with this aspect and smiled and said, "It's too exaggerating to buy a building. Now you have to apply for a patent globally and purchase globally, you still have to save some money."
"Money has never been a problem for me. You all help me pay attention to the real estate information in Xiangjiang. I am going to buy a building. I don't care about the age of the building, but only care about the location. I must be in the center of Central."
It is already late July today, and there are three months left for the 87 stock market crash, but the current economic situation is getting better.
Zhou Guowei said: "The law firm I work in is empty now. I rent it first. Anyway, I just buy a house and I can't move in for a while."
"Okay, you're so worried about the team building, but I'll arrange someone to take over the security."
Zhou Guowei didn't care, nor did he expect Zhao Shanhe to hand over everything to him, so he agreed.
After lunch was ready, Zhao's mother came up and asked everyone to go downstairs to have dinner. Xiao stuttered with Selena and Xie Yushan to help Grandma Cai prepare meals. The few of them talked and laughed, and were very close.
Zhao Shanhe also changed his past habit of rarely drinking, and opened two bottles of white wine, and three people drank one bottle by himself.
The people of Xiangjiang have poor alcohol tolerance and cannot get used to high-quality white wine. Zhou Guowei drank a few taels and fell asleep drunk.
Song Aihui had a lot of social engagements and had a good alcohol tolerance. After drinking seven taels, he fell down.
Zhao Shanhe drank a bottle alone, but was still very sober. He arranged for someone to take them home before returning to his room to rest.
He did not expect to win over the two of them through a meal, and everything was based on the interests.
However, I spent a long time with them and used them smoothly. Zhao Shanhe didn't mind giving them more benefits.
Within two days, Zhou Guowei rented the entire floor on the 12th floor of Manulife Building in Central. This place was originally a company office. Zhou Guowei did not renovate it at all. He just bought some tables, chairs, cabinets, and office supplies, and started working.
Zhao Shanhe was even busier because he began to borrow heavily in the global financial markets.
The lending market mainly includes London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and New York.
The guarantees are respectively guaranteed by HSBC, ****, Mitsubishi Bank and Bank of East Asia.
All procedures are coordinated by Director Xu’s Daxin Bank.
This time, Zhao Shanhe was not picky. Whether it was futures contracts, stocks, bonds, etc., standardized tradable contracts, they were within Zhao Shanhe's loan scope.
All contracts are unified as standard tradable contracts with a three-month term, and the interest rate is three points far exceeding the market price.
It was not until July 31 that Zhao Shanhe's busyness came to an end.
At this time, Zhao Shanhe's debt had reached 17.5 billion.
Of course, the subject matter of his loan contract was 17 billion yuan and his margin was 500 million yuan.
Three percent of 17 billion, in these three months, Zhao Shanhe only paid the bank interest rate of 510 million. If the contract continues to appreciate, he will still have to bear the losses after appreciation in three months.
However, Zhao Shanhe not only borrowed and borrowed contracts, but at the same time, he took out another 500 million Hong Kong dollars to hedge investment and go long in the short term with fifty times.
These short-term contracts are basically one-month period, and many of them are even next-day trading contracts.
The total amount of these short-term hedging investments also reached 25 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Back and forth, Zhao Shanhe's total contract amount exceeded 43 billion Hong Kong dollars, which shocked the industry.
At the same time, everyone couldn't figure out Zhao Shanhe's ideas.
If you are optimistic about the market, of course you are going long, but you borrow so many bonds.
If you are not optimistic about the market, why invest 15 billion to make trouble?
After the news was discovered by the media, Hong Kong was in an uproar.
Now the richest man in Hong Kong, Bao Lao, has only a limited amount of 35 billion yuan in all his assets.
And these 35 billion are not net assets, but include all future contracts in his ocean world.
He is also the largest fleet in the world, and the future interests of these fleets are also calculated in his assets.
He didn't have much cash on hand.
For example, he couldn't even get the acquisition of Huidefeng for only 2 billion yuan, so he still acquired Huidefeng through bank turnover.
Zhao Shanhe's big deal this time, the total contract amount reached 43 billion.
What puzzles everyone is why Zhao Shanhe operates like this?
Shorting with the right hand and long with the left hand, are you nervous?
However, when Zhao Shanhe put all the contracts into the space, he couldn't help laughing.
From July to October, the stock market rose all the way until Black Monday, and global stock markets plummeted.
He went long to make up for the shortfall in the lending contract.
On the one hand, we borrowed 17 billion through banks, and on the other hand, we used 500 million to operate 25 billion. This is a completely different concept.
Even if it is hedging investment, he still has 10 billion yuan in capital operations and his profits are his own.
Short-term investments can be traded at any time, and these profits continue to enter your account.
By mid-October, all these operations can be stopped. Even if you lose a few days, when Black Monday comes, you can pay back these contracts by half, or even less than half, at less than half of the cost.
It is easy to master future economic changes and make money.
On the evening of the 31st, Zhao Shanhe came to the villa alone on the grounds of being busy and entered the renovated main control room.
The entire enclosed room is surrounded by various equipment and monitors, and a huge comfortable swivel chair in the middle.
This swivel chair is about the same size as a wide sofa, with a back of the chair of 1.5 meters high, which is completely in line with human mechanics.
Zhao Shanhe sat in this chair, his eyes not staring at the screen in front of him, but at the void screen in front of him.
