808: If you're not crazy, it's too late
In the family meeting room.
Haber sat in the corner and said nothing.
At this time, it is usually the young people of the family who are reporting their achievements and income.
Of course, there are also those who are criticized, such as family members who fail to invest, will be exploited and temporarily put into the cold palace by the investment funds.
After looking at the account book, the patriarch looked around at everyone, and then said: "Harriman manages the city of Dubai, focusing on tourism, and this quarter's revenue has brought five billion dollars to the family, and he has taken one billion of these five billion miles, you should follow his example, don't be idle all day." ”
Speaking of this, the old patriarch glanced at Haber, and was a little strange that the third son was angry.
"Haber, I heard that you like to collect strange antiques all day long, and spend a lot of money, are your investments profitable?"
Haber hurriedly replied: "Father, it is not profitable for the time being, and it will take a while to ferment. ”
"The younger generation is starting to bring more or less money to the family, what are you doing all these times? Instead of spending those savings for you, why don't you take your big brother to build a stake in Dubai City, or engage in trade, I heard that you spent $1 billion a year ago to give someone a free project (Xucheng Underground Base) project? Is there such a thing? ”
Haberyu reported: "Father, indeed, is a good friend of mine, and I can't get money from him. ”
"Humph!" Harbour's eldest brother Harriman scoffed when he heard this: "You are generous, 1 billion US dollars were spent like this, and you also spent more than 1 billion yuan to collect calligraphy and painting antiques a few years ago, and you may have spent a lot of money over the years, right?" What friend of yours actually doesn't even care about 1 billion? ”
"It's also lucky, I did him a favor, this friend is very kind, and he also gave me a gift, which I just want to give to my father." Haber said, getting up from his seat and walking over to his father's old patriarch, and took out a delicate box made of pure gold from his sleeve.
"Father, do you think it's worth it for me to spend 1 billion to get him?"
After the old patriarch opened the box, he saw the potion that Xu Cheng gave to Haber back then, his face changed slightly in an instant, and then his face flushed, and he was a little excited.
He was old, and after the mandala potion fermented, he regretted missing it, but the mandala hadn't been auctioned off for two years.
"Is this true?"
"Each potion has a date and code at the bottom of the bottle, and there is no less one." Haber smiled.
"You want to give it to me?" The old patriarch asked him in surprise.
"Of course, I'm going to give it to my father, if I want to use it, I'll use it a long time ago." Haber didn't take the box either, and turned to sit back in his seat.
The old patriarch was very satisfied in his heart, carefully put the box into his bag, and then said after a moment of silence: "Habo, there are many vacancies in the family that need to be helped, since you are idle, help your brother more." ”
Haber said: "Father, I want to start a project by myself, I need funds, and I plan to convert all my assets into it." ”
"Throw it in and go in for a while?" Harriman sneered. He couldn't get used to the members of the family who were waiting for death, including the idle Haber.
"Isn't it enough that your assets can be converted into nearly 10 billion US dollars?" The old patriarch asked.
"Not enough." Haber said bluntly: "It's not enough, I need my family to support me with 50 billion US dollars to do this project." ”
"You're crazy!" Harriman slapped the table directly and said: "All the assets of the family are less than 200 billion, which is still the wealth accumulated over more than ten years, and you will take 30% with a word!" Do you think it's possible? We still owe foreign debts, and Abu Dhabi is also our God of Wealth, if you collapse again at this time, and there will be a debt crisis in the future, where will you find this money to make up for it? ”
More than 50 children of important stewards in the family looked at Haber curiously, feeling that he dared to open this opening, he must be crazy.
Even the embezzlement of funds by Harriman, the next patriarch candidate, cannot exceed 10 billion, and he actually shouted 50 billion when he opened his mouth, only a madman dares to ask for such a price.
The old patriarch stopped, not in a hurry, he looked at Haber and asked, "What project makes you so ruthless?" ”
Harriman: "No matter what the project is, even if it is to open a casino for smuggling, we can't take so much money, it's too risky, we have worked hard enough to chase the neighbor Abu Dhabi consortium, if the assets shrink again, the entire emirate, we will change from the second to the third!" ”
Haber didn't speak, his face was calm and calm, and he let the eldest brother whine there.
"Grandfather, I don't approve of Uncle Haber's risky investment either." Suddenly, some of the sons of the younger generation came out to support Harriman against Harbour.
"Yes, grandfather, in the future, my father needs more funds to build facilities around Dubai, and at this time, large-scale funds will be used, I am afraid that there will be a shortage of funds on his side at that time, you also said, at present, Dubai's cityscape is our top priority, and everything is still around the tourism industry."
"Tourism is really the foundation of my family, but if I was given two months, I only borrowed two months." Haber looked at everyone, and then at the patriarch: "In two months, I will return 60 billion to my family!" ”
"You fart!" Harriman snorted: "What project do you do in two months to find 10 billion?" The annual tourism income of the whole Dubai is about 20 billion, and you can recover 10 billion in two months? ”
"If I can't do it, I will withdraw from the family, and I don't want the family's share of my lifetime dividends!" Haber said loudly.
The clan elder stopped: "Child, you are impulsive, you can't do this thing, you have to ask your wife and children." ”
"They have no objections." Haber said: "They are willing to advance and retreat with me, since I have opened my mouth today, I have no intention of giving up this project, Dad, you have always regarded the eldest brother as the best successor in the family to cultivate, I have no opinion, but any generation of a hundred years of clan, it is impossible to revolve around only one person, then the risk is the greatest." I also want to share the burden for my family. ”
The old patriarch looked at him, and after a long time, asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Buy crude oil." Haber said simply.
After saying that, everyone in the audience laughed.
Harriman smiled directly on the table: "I also have crude oil at home, do I want to sell it to you at a low price?" Kindness? Or do you want to sell you a month's worth of crude oil at home? ”
"Okay, I'll eat it at a 5% floating price above the market price."
"Yes." Harriman said: "If you have crude oil shares at home, you can sell the crude oil in your hand to you, I see what you want to do!" ”
The other heirs all smiled.
"I'll sell it to you, Uncle Haber, how much do you want, take it, you can give the money on credit first, and then you can calculate it for us."
Although their crude oil reserves account for only 10% of the entire UAE, it is still a lot, and Haber thought not to be in vain.
Harriman: "However, if you lose money on this oil, and you pay everyone within two months, then use your family's dividends in exchange for it." ”
"Okay." Haber said, and looked at the patriarch again: "Father, then I will borrow another 30 billion US dollars, if I can't hand over this money within two months, I will give my life here!" ”
The crowd was in an uproar.
When did Harbour play so hard?
Supporting the bold, starving the cowardly, Haber feels that he is already in his fifties, and if he is not crazy, he will have no chance.
So, go crazy with the madman.
