Chapter 170 The darkness before dawn
Wang Changhui is in his forties. He has a standard politician's face, plump, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a big nose, thick lips, large auricles, and is very malleable. He can handle everything from a seventh-grade sesame official to a first-grade official. When I got up, I couldn't smell much of the lawyer's breath.

Observation is mutual. Taking advantage of the opportunity of greeting each other, Wang Changhui also observed Xian Yaowen's appearance. There is a pair of deep, bright and clear eyes on a young face. His age appears broad, and he has the vigor of eighteen or nineteen years old, but also He has the composure of a forty-year-old, but if it weren't for the immature mustache on his upper lip, it would be hard to tell that he is a weak man.

Wang Changhui took a breath. The young man in front of him didn't need to speak. He could leave his son far behind just by his appearance. It was like giving birth to a son.

As soon as Xian Yaowen sat down, he took out a bunch of information from his briefcase and went straight to the point, "Lawyer Wang, I need to register a DBS company in Singapore. The information is ready."

With that said, he handed the information to the other party.

Wang Changhui took the information and after a brief look, he realized that Xian Yaowen was very familiar with the details of the company registration procedures in Singapore and that the information was fully prepared. He put the information aside and raised his eyes to wait for Xian Yaowen's next words.

"Li Jue and Wang Law Firm" is not an ordinary law firm. Trainee lawyers who do not have the qualification to practice law can get a high salary of 500 yuan while interning in the law firm. High welfare naturally requires high income support. It can be imagined that "Li Jue and Wang Law Firm" Jue Yu Wang Law Firm's fees are quite expensive. Any law firm can handle corporate registration cases, so there is no need to waste money coming here.

Xian Yaowen took out a cigar from his pocket and signaled, then lit it after receiving tacit approval.

"Lawyer Wang, 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 urgent. Starting tomorrow, one Within this month, I want to acquire as many rubber plantations as possible at reasonable prices.”

Xian Yaowen paused deliberately, and then said: "There is one problem. In the short term, my liquidity is very tight. When purchasing the rubber plantation, I want to buy it on credit."

Wang Changhui chuckled and said: "Mr. Xian, strictly speaking, it is not impossible to get credit. It depends on what you can provide."

Xian Yaowen nodded slightly, "To your law firm, I will pay a high commission, and to the seller, I can provide asset mortgage guarantee. I have a clothing factory in Hong Kong. The land and building are worth more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars. The factory business is booming, regardless of Whoever takes over doesn’t have to worry about profits;

I have good credit with HSBC. Not long ago, I just received a credit loan of 170 million Hong Kong dollars without any guarantee or mortgage.

As long as the seller gives me a billing period of three months to one year, I can give you a good interest rate depending on the length of the billing period. If I cannot pay the purchase price on time, 80% of the price of the mortgaged assets will be deducted.

Lawyer Wang, I believe this case is not very difficult for your law firm. The only difficulty is speed. It depends on whether your law firm has the ability to verify whether what I said is true and sort out the clues within two days. I It is hoped that the acquisition will officially begin the day after tomorrow. "

Wang Changhui asked after careful consideration: "How much interest can I give?"

"40%, 25%, 12%, annual interest."

Wang Changhui shook his head, "It's not attractive enough, and negotiations will be difficult."

Xian Yaowen naturally knew that the interest rate he offered seemed high, but in fact it was not very attractive.

"Lawyer Wang, I will give you 10% flexibility. My bottom line is a maximum of 44%. If you can sign a contract with an annual interest of 40%, I will give you 5‰. If you can If you sign a contract with an annual interest rate lower than 40%, for every percentage point lower, you can get an additional 5‰, and so on.”

“Mr.

"Lawyer Wang, high returns naturally require high efforts. If it's not difficult, why should I give you such a high commission? That's my condition, and it's impossible to raise it any higher." Xian Yaowen spread his hands and said, "So, I Will you accept my commission?"

"Take it." Wang Changhui said simply.

At present, the main producing areas of natural rubber in the world are Malaya and Indonesia. The two places supply more than 90% of the world's needs. Before the war, natural rubber alone made the rubber plantation owners of the two places full of food. During the war, , the two places were occupied by the Japs, and the rubber plantations were controlled, but this did not stop the rubber plantation owners from continuing to make money. Although they earned military tickets, they became waste paper in the end.

Before World War I, due to the rise of the automobile industry, Germany had a premonition that the future direction of war would be motorization. It also knew that access to the sea was its weakness. The domestic military industry must be as self-sufficient as possible. From that time on, Germany consciously Started research and development of synthetic rubber.

After the October Revolution, the Soviet Union, which had been repeatedly blocked by foreign enemies, made great efforts to develop the synthetic rubber industry. It completed its first synthetic rubber experiment in 1927 and began mass production of synthetic rubber products in 1932, which was its first five-year plan. one of the major achievements.

Compared with Germany, the research and development of synthetic rubber technology in the United States was much slower. Throughout the 30s, the United States mainly used natural rubber. It was the largest natural rubber importer in the world, swallowing up half of the world's natural rubber production.

However, several related companies in the United States have also begun to develop synthetic rubber, and five different technical routes have emerged. At the same time, they all have their own agendas and hope to overwhelm their competitors, without any willingness to cooperate.

In particular, Standard Oil, which shares a large number of synthetic rubber patents with German chemical giant Farben, continues to create the illusion that it wants to share technology with local competitors to prevent other companies from conducting independent research on synthetic rubber.

It was not until the Pearl Harbor incident broke out that the Japs quickly occupied Malaya and Indonesia, completely cutting off the United States' natural rubber import channels. Only then did the United States' synthetic rubber technology experience a major explosion. The potential of the industrial power was fully realized, and the output of synthetic rubber Suddenly it reached tens of thousands of tons.

Throughout World War II, the Soviet Union, Germany, and the United States mostly used synthetic rubber, with only a small amount of natural rubber used.

As the saying goes, a cannon fires a thousand taels of gold. Fighting a war is very expensive. It is impossible for the little devil to guard the rubber plantation without "capitalizing the enemy" at all. Especially with the breakthrough in mass production technology of synthetic rubber, they are trying their best to sell natural rubber and add Upper Ceylon also had rubber plantations with a slightly smaller output. Therefore, during World War II, natural rubber was continuously supplied internationally. After the war, the world returned from a war economy to a market economy, and the sovereignty of rubber plantations also returned to the hands of rubber plantation owners. Originally, the export volume of natural rubber should be increased to lick the wound of "banknotes turning into waste paper", but they Sadly, it was discovered that the synthetic rubber production capacity and inventory that exploded during the war have not been fully digested, and the demand for natural rubber is very small, and the entire market has entered a stage of oversupply.

This stage is not over yet. The owner of the rubber plantation has endured it for five years and still has not come to an end. In these years, the rubber plantation has been in recession. Regardless of how much money is made, it is good if it can not lose money. The turnover rate and the unemployment of rubber workers The rates are very high.

Basically, Xian Yaowen has caught up with the last bus to start the rubber plantation. He has no share of the huge bargains. He can eat the vegetable juice bibimbap with an open stomach, but his stomach will explode and he will not be able to finish it.

The natural rubber environment is like this. There are still many rubber plantation owners who are desperate and want to get rid of their rubber plantations. Not to mention that Xian Yaowen will not give interest. As long as they ensure that they can get the money, there will be plenty of them. of people are willing to let go.

If he had enough time, Xian Yaowen could talk to interested rubber plantation owners one by one. But the reality is that he doesn’t have time or enough funds. He can only find people like Wang Changhui and pay generous terms to win the prize. Borrow the other party's family signature.

Wang Changhui can roughly guess what Xian Yaowen is thinking. As long as Xian Yaowen can provide sufficient mortgage guarantee, he will be very happy to take this order. He doesn't need to be too familiar with the rubber industry or the rubber plantation owner. He will give the approximate amount Xian Yaowen said. , he can completely digest it in the Wang family's network. As long as he is willing, half of the interest + 5‰ will fall into the law firm's pocket.

Of course, once this happens, you are nakedly using the reputation of the Wang family as a guarantee, and the degree of involvement is too deep. It is not the behavior of a wise man. It is most appropriate to reasonably lower the interest rate, increase the income of the law firm, and maintain it in a relatively pure transaction category.

Xian Yaowen also guessed that Wang Changhui could guess his own thoughts. Once Wang Changhui dared to eat up all the interest, he would dare to make a move. The money would definitely be paid on time. This was a matter of credibility that cannot be damaged, but he dared to make a new one in his pants. Brand, a pair of pants costing only a few cents can be sold for thousands. You can pay the bills by moving a box of pants to pay off the debt. It doesn’t take much, just pay off the interest.

The brand is called "Hengda Bingbing" pants, and the slogan is: "Mom no longer has to worry about my thighs sweating."

Anyway, what was difficult for Xian Yaowen was easy to handle for Wang Changhui. The initial intention of not entrusting was reached. Xian Yaowen presented a series of asset certificates to Wang Changhui. The first meeting and negotiation came to an end, and when Wang Changhui verified the assets Authenticity will lead to formal signing negotiations, focusing on details and contract words.

The contract must be rigorous enough. Xian Yaowen has no time to go to the rubber plantation to visit and inspect it, and there is no need to see it. He has no intention of holding the rubber plantation for a long time. To put it bluntly, he just wants to take advantage of the appreciation difference, and the goods are not the right version. The risk must be transferred to the law firm, and at the same time, bargaining must be carried out with the law firm on the amount of commission for "bearing the risk".

After leaving the law office, Xian Yaowen felt very happy. The first step of his rubber speculation strategy was completed. He had speculated before that the speculation on the rubber plantation business could bring him at least 400% profit. With better luck, The actual profit can be doubled.

Such high profits can be traced back to the military votes of the little devils, the rubber plantation owners’ enthusiasm to repair their losses in the past few years, and the two basins of cold water poured on them by the world. If the little devils had not squeezed their foundation, Come on, they are fully capable of surviving for more than ten years. If they persist, good times will come.

It will not be like now. At first glance, the dawn will appear the day after tomorrow, and then you will grit your teeth and get through it. But the reality is that you have no money to buy rice today, and you will only be hungry tomorrow. If you are late the day after tomorrow, you will probably be late when the dawn comes. Starved to death before.

People in their 90s who have not been able to travel a hundred miles cannot simply say that they have no perseverance and do not know how to persevere. Persistence requires confidence and optimism about the future requires capital. Controlled persistence is called persistence, and uncontrollable persistence is called gambling. To put it nicely, it is like Xiang Yu's recklessness. As long as he dares to keep gambling, he may seem to be in trouble, but in fact he is destined to commit suicide in Wujiang.

Everyone can see the situation on the peninsula, especially since war is closely related to rubber. There are probably not many rubber plantation owners who will not pay attention to it. If a war breaks out, the price of rubber will definitely increase, but will there be a war? When will the fight begin? There has been friction on the March 8th line for several years, but there has been no fight. Who knows when there will be a fight.

The friction has been going on for too long, and the rubber plantation owners who lack confidence have exhausted their last bit of patience.

The same is true for the automobile industry. In newspapers, one is rising and the other is surging. However, there is no sign of the consumption of synthetic rubber stocks. There is no sign of several large car companies abandoning expensive synthetic rubber and returning to the embrace of cheap natural rubber.

Everyone is full of confidence in the rise of the automobile industry, but it will probably happen after a few rubber plantation owners change.

Instead of fishing in the ocean, it is better to retreat and build a net. Monetizing rubber plantations and doing other businesses is also a way out. It is precisely because of the pessimistic mood of the rubber industry as a whole that Xian Yaowen has speculative opportunities and takes over from some rubber plantation owners. Pass the baton and sprint out of the pre-dawn darkness. When the time comes, the baton will be handed back and the industry will return to its origins. The rubber plantation owners will be blessed one by one. If God helps, it doesn't matter if they are short of money. Bankers with compassionate hearts will take the initiative to come to your door. Say in your purest Cockney accent: "May I Help You, Sir?"

Xian Yaowen wiped the raindrops from his face and looked up at the air-conditioner outlet on the second floor of the law office that made a huge roar. He couldn't help but feel a little hot. On a hot summer day, it rained like prostatitis again, and the heat on the ground was wiped out. Forced out, the strong gap just coming out of the air-conditioned room was very uncomfortable.

He quickened his pace and returned to the hotel. He could still see the stalker in the lobby, but he had changed his seat closer to the inside. A vacuum was formed around him, allowing those with knowledge of the situation to see the corpse stench emanating from his head at a glance.

Xian Yaowen's eyes glanced over. Three tables to the right of the stalker, there was one more suspicious person than before. He instantly came to the conclusion that there was a ghost at the front desk. He speculated that there was something wrong on the way to the Raffles Hotel. There will be peace, and Shuntai's driver may have been bribed.

"The grandson behind the scenes seems to be a vigilant person. The big world's hand last night made him alert. He was worried about the long nights and dreams, so he took action early?" It's not easy to tie, you can't exchange it for a meat ticket, just wait, I'm having fun with you."

He quickly went upstairs and entered the room. After closing the door, he walked a certain distance deeper into the room. Then he tiptoed back behind the door and leaned against the door to listen carefully.

Sure enough, there were suspicious footsteps outside the door. His feeling when he went out was right, someone had been following him.

"We only used three people for surveillance. I don't know how many people there will be when we actually take action..."

At this moment, Xian Yaowen re-evaluated the safety of his own risk, and whether Narcissus was an important part of the plan to kidnap him. Today's meeting with futures broker Mak Zhihong might be a set-up in itself, and no action could be taken in the hotel. , but it can poison him. As long as he is stunned or "sick" by poison, the rest of the matter will be easier to handle.
