Chapter 883 – So, that’s the reason
Back in his office, Feng Yu rested his chin on his hand and was tapping the desk with his other hand. Soros’s invitation seems to be too simple. Although getting more people will accumulate more funds and they will get more profits, but Feng Yu does not know them before this meeting.
If Feng Yu is to go against these international speculators in Hong Kong, he will contact the Fu family and the Li family because he is close to them. As for contacting other tycoons, he will leave it to these two families. Feng Yu will not give out invitations to people he is not close to.
But Soros had invited him personally, and it’s odd. Especially Feng Yu is an Asian and is holding to a Hong Kong passport.
If Soros and his gang are going to invite everyone that has financial power, they will inevitably invite Fu Rongqi. But Feng Yu asked Fu Rongqi, and he does not know anything about this.
“Feng, why are you in New York again? I had bought two factories in Russia, and I don’t have enough funds.” Kirilenko entered Feng Yu’s office.
Feng Yu’s assistant looked at Feng Yu embarrassedly. He had tried to stop Kirilenko, but Kirilenko is too strong for him. The assistant also dare not stop him as he knew Kirilenko is his boss’s close friend, and the Empire State Building is owned by both of them.
Kirilenko walked over to the liquor cabinet in Feng Yu’s office and poured a glass of vodka for himself. He finished the glass in one gulp. Many people prefer to drink cold beer during a hot day to cool off. But Kirilenko drank vodka to quench his thirst.
“Go out. I had told you not to stop Brother Ki when he comes.” Feng Yu waved to his assistant to leave. “Brother Ki, why didn’t you tell me when you acquire the factories? I will transfer the money to you now. How much is it?”
“It’s not a lot. If converted to USD, it should be around 40 million. It is more expensive because of the equipment.”
“One factory for 40 million USD?” Feng Yu frowned. It’s way more costly than he expected.
“It’s for both factories. How can one factory be so expensive? Some of their equipment is old. If all the equipment is new, it might be worth around 40 million for one. We still need to change some of the equipment, hire workers, etc. I also got someone to clear the factories’ debts, but the factories do not have money now. If the factories want to start operation now, we need to invest a sum of money.”
The main headache is settled, and the rest of the problems, like replacing new equipment, start-up capital, etc. are all minor problems. Most importantly, Russia has skilled workers and some of the top technologies in the world. The only country that is better than Russia is Germany.
“Alright. I will transfer 100 million USD first. If it’s not enough, let me know.”
“It should be enough. Even if it’s not enough, the gap will not be too big.” Kirilenko said. After all, Feng Yu only need to provide 70% of the capital, and the factories do not need so many funds.
“You come all the way here to New York for this?” Feng Yu was curious. With their relationship, a phone is enough to settle this issue.
“Not really. I had come over two days ago to meet a tycoon, and got to know you are back in New York.” Kirilenko casually replied.
Kirilenko had settled the factories in Russia, and his friends are still helping him to buy the factories in Belarus and Ukraine. It should be settled in a few days. What’s troublesome is to wipe off the factories’ debts. The factories’ accounts can be empty, but it must not have debts or other problems.
Feng Yu asked curiously. “Tycoon? American? New York?”
“That’s right. He is famous on Wall Street. I also mentioned about you. Did he look for you?” Kirilenko asked.
“Are you talking about George Soros?” Feng Yu asked.
“I think that’s his name. He owns a hedge fund, Quantum fund. He also has a fund named after him. Hehe… Why didn’t I think of using my name to name my companies?!” Kirilenko replied.
Damn! So, this is the reason. Soros had looked for Kirilenko before he meets Feng Yu!
“Brother Ki, do you remember that I told you that there is an opportunity to make money from the financial markets this year?” Feng Yu frowned.
“I remember. They are also the same. Didn’t you say you will get a group of friends to invest? I thought the more people we have, the more funds we can accumulate, and it will increase our profits. What’s wrong? You didn’t agree with that old man? I also have not given him my reply. If you don’t agree to join him, I will also reject his invitation immediately.”
Feng Yu slapped his forehead. This moron!
I had asked you to team up with me against Soros! Now, you want to work with them? If Soros is sincere and agrees to not attack Hong Kong, cooperating with him is a good option.
But that Jewish man is too greedy, and he can’t keep his words.
“Brother Ki, I agreed to join him.”
“Huh? You agreed? I knew you will agree. I will give him a call later to tell him I will participate too, and we will make money together. I heard that the old man is famous on Wall Street.” Kirilenko replied excitedly. He had finally helped Feng Yu once in the financial market.
“I thought you hate Americans. Why are you cooperating with them?” Feng Yu asked curiously.
“Eh? American? He is not Jewish?” Kirilenko was surprised.
“He is a Jewish American. Don’t be anxious. We will cooperate with them at first, but we will surely face them at the end. At that time, we will work together to deceive them. Are you interested?” Kirilenko hated Americans the most, and won’t cooperate with them.
“Deceive them? I’m interested!” Kirilenko asked excitedly. “But how are we going to trick them?”
“We will join them when they attack Malaysia, Singapore, Korea, Japan, and the other countries and make money with them. They will surely attack Hong Kong after that. At that time, we will work with Hong Kong’s government and Hong Kong tycoons to fight against them. Even the Chinese government will join in the fight. With so many people and two governments on our side, we still cannot make them suffer major losses?”
“Good… This is a good idea. We can make money and also make them suffer losses! How much money should we prepare? I need to think of a way to raise funds.” Kirilenko asked.
“Hmmm… we can mortgage our mining company’s shares to get loans. I will also use my shares in the US to get loans from the banks. This time, I guarantee we will make high profits!”
“I don’t care how much we make. I only want to see those dumb Americans suffer! He is an American, how dare he tell me he is Jewish? I want to see him suffer!” Kirilenko snarled.
Feng Yu shook his head. Kirilenko should be the only one in Wall Street that does not know Soros is an American.
But this is not easy to succeed. Feng Yu is taking precautions against Soros, and Soros is also doing the same.
