"Zeju, thank you." Feng Yu hung up and lit a cigar.
How can he delay the media's attention? He must let the media know that Feng Yu had raised so many funds for other investments.
Moreover, this investment had to be believable.
Many consortiums know that Wind and Rain Holdings Group and Polar Bear Holdings Group had cooperated and invested in many mines all over the world. The most common way to transport minerals and goods is by sea.
Planes can only carry a lot of cargo, and a cruise ship can carry as much as an airline. This is the most economical way to transport goods.
Polar Bear Holdings Group does not have its own shipping fleet, and many of its overseas ports are rented from He Huang. Most of the world's mining companies are He Huang's partners. This is because He Huang controls 40% of the world's ports and is the industry leader.
At this time, the Hong Kong media released a piece of shocking news. Feng Yu intends to acquire He Huang's ports shares!
The media had reported that Taihua Holdings had invested in He Huang's ports business. At that time, the media did not pay much attention to it. He Huang has so many shareholders, and it's not surprising for Taihua Holdings to invest in him. Anyway, he does not own a lot of shares, and the Chairman is still Superman Li.
At that time, the media thought this is only a normal business cooperation. Taihua Holdings also needs to transport large amounts of goods overseas every year.
Also, one of them is the World's Richest Man, and the other is one of Asia's top tycoons. It's normal for them to cooperate.
Currently, there are no cases of Feng Yu embezzling other people's assets after investing in other people's companies. The media felt that Superman Li had found an important partner for the Li family. This will ensure the Li family's wealth will last for three generations.
But many people are puzzled by the news in Hong Kong. Could it be that Superman Li is going to sell his company's most important business?
Although the stock market is doing well, and the shares will be sold at a high price, if He Huang loses his controlling stake in the ports, many of his businesses will be restricted.
For example, the retail business, construction business, etc.
A few years ago, Superman Li was ranked 10th on < Fortune >'s Power List. This is because he is the King of Ports.
Without this title, even if he had more money, it was useless. Take Feng Yu for example. His assets had long surpassed Superman Li. But on the World Power List, he was only ranked 6th. This was because < Fortune > felt that Feng Yu's influence on politics was limited.
Of course, many people also thought that it was because Feng Yu had a bad relationship with Fortune, so Fortune deliberately suppressed him. Otherwise, why would Feng Yu be ranked behind the Chairman of the Federal Reserve? When Bill Gates was the richest man in the world, he was ranked at the top.
It was no surprise that the leaders of the United States, Russia, and Hua Xia were ranked in the top three. The fourth was the Pope, who was considered the most powerful religious leader in the world. It was acceptable for him to be in this position.
But a few years ago, when Bill Gates had less assets than Feng Yu, he was ranked third. Of course, at that time, Microsoft's status is also at its peak.
After the ranking was announced, Kirilenko was the most dissatisfied. He felt his ranking was too low, and Feng Yu's ranking was also too low. Also, why was Russia's President ranked behind George W. Bush in the US?
No matter what, this ranking was accepted by more people. This also shows that wealth is not as important as politics.
But the main thing that this list showed was influence. The leader of a superpower must be influential.
If he monopolized an important industry, his influence will be significant. For example, the boss of AC Milan's football team. He is not only a wealthy man, but he is also one of the top ten leaders.
Many people don't understand He Huang's decision. Many people even think that Superman Li and Feng Yu had reached an agreement in private.
For example, exchanging shares and becoming the directors of each other's companies. Or was this the result of Hua Xia's government's interference? After all, Li Zeju is a dual citizen of Canada and Hong Kong. After Hong Kong's return to China, Hua Xia's government no longer recognizes dual citizens. That's why Li Zeju is considered a Canadian now.
Superman Li wants to hand over his assets to Li Zeju, and it will be considered an outflow of assets. The Chinese Government must want to preserve their most important asset and cannot let the state to step in. That's why Feng Yu stepping in is the best solution.
The outside world had many guesses about this, and everyone believed that Feng Yu had sold those companies' shares to acquire the controlling stake of He Huang's port.
Although those companies' shares will rise more rapidly, the controlling stake of the port is more valuable. Although the port's profitability is not as high as those companies' shares in the short term, it is more stable, and Feng Yu's company's imports and exports will be easier. This is a strategic investment and is meaningful.
What's interesting is that Hua Xia's government did not come forward to explain. They did not explain if they had influenced Feng Yu's decision or if those comments were nonsense.
But the public in China seems to accept this explanation. Feng Yu wants to invest in the port, and that's why he had sold those companies' shares.
On Feng Yu's blog, he had stated clearly that he is doing greening in China because of his personal interest.
Some financial institutions, who had been keeping an eye on Feng Yu, let down their guard. Feng Yu wants to acquire the controlling stake of He Huang's port. This makes sense.
If not, with Feng Yu's assets, there is no need for him to sell them. The dividends he gets every year are astronomical, and it is enough for Feng Yu to spend freely.
Someone had calculated that if Feng Yu's assets were converted to USD, it would be enough to fill many lakes. If Feng Yu were to burn them one by one, he will not be able to finish them. This is because when Feng Yu is burning his money, he will have a large sum of money coming in.
There were many such idlers abroad who liked to calculate how the rich spent their wealth and then write articles that were similar to chicken soup for the soul or jokes. As for the real situation, they had no access to it at all.
Feng Yu had made use of the news of He Huang's port to divert the attention of the media and the investors. But this method can only drag on for a period of time. If it is too long, many people will notice that something is wrong.
But it's okay. Feng Yu has other ways. There are too many people keeping an eye on his money, and Feng Yu has to make some countermeasures.
Luckily, Feng Yu has many ways to deal with this.
