Regarding this question, Wang Shoufu can be said to be sincere in asking. Because in this regard, he really lacks a certain amount of experience and judgment.

The so-called interlacing is like separating mountains. If you ask Wang Shoufu which piece of land has the potential to appreciate, what kind of real estate can produce the greatest economic benefits. He's sure to give you the head of the way. But if you ask him what kind of technology industry has prospects and what kind of heavy industry has weight, he may not be able to give you an accurate answer.

Without exposure to this stuff, many people may not be able to understand the Tao in it. However, if there is anyone other than those in the industry who can understand so many things, it is those investors in financial investment banks.

That's not to say that those investors are smart enough to figure out all these twists and turns. It's the bowl of rice that they themselves eat. In order to be able to accurately identify projects that are worth investing in, they must have a large number of professional analysts to do the most professional analysis for them. With such help, they will naturally know more than the average person.

There is no doubt that the elder Morgan is a professional investor. Although he is not famous, he inherited the name of Morgan and at the same time has a pivotal position in the Morgan consortium, which is enough to explain his status in this industry. Even if he didn't understand anything, the experts who worked for the Morgan consortium could put the most refined analysis in front of him. And since he will talk about such a topic with Wang Shoufu, then he must have come prepared. Under such a premise, he immediately responded to Wang Shoufu with a smile.

"China is a fast-growing country, which is recognized in the world. From decades of backwardness to the world's leading today, your country has been creating amazing miracles. Against this backdrop, if I don't have a full understanding of the current situation in your country, I will definitely let you get involved in the high-tech industry. Because this is a proven path with the least investment and the greatest return. Just like Microsoft and Apple, they have been able to grow to such a huge scale in just a few decades, and even make many established companies bow down in terms of market capitalization, which is the most typical example. ”

"However, after an in-depth understanding of your country's market, I feel that investing in high-tech industries may not be your best choice. Although there are many kinds of high-tech industries, as far as the current market is concerned, unless you develop a new technology product, you will not be able to escape the trend of competition with others after all. And the competition, I have to say, your domestic competition in the technology industry is too fierce. Not to mention some of your government-backed companies, but also big companies like Huawei, and even the emerging company called Nano Neuron would be a strong competitor. If you take the liberty of stepping in the middle, I'm hard pressed to say for sure you'll be able to get the results you want. ”

"So, my final advice to you is that you'd better make heavy industry your core industry."

"Heavy industry?" This answer was something that the richest man Wang didn't expect, and it also made him frown. Because in his cognition, although it is very beautiful for heavy industry to reach the top, it is very embarrassing before reaching the top. The investment is huge, the production capacity is limited, and the resources are severely constrained. This is really a little unacceptable for him, who is used to low investment and high returns.

It can be said that if such a statement is not put forward by a guy like Morgan Sr., then Wang Shoufu will almost immediately paste his bear face. But it was precisely because these words came from the mouth of old Morgan that he had an idea of anticipation for his next explanation. He couldn't wait to take a look and see what kind of explanation this guy could give him.

Morgan Sr. did not disappoint him, and he was quick to give his own explanation.

"That's right, heavy industry. And it is the most typical mechanical heavy industry. At this point, I suggest you learn from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan, as well as Hyundai Heavy Industries in South Korea. As long as you can develop these industries, then you will have a different position in your country. After all, industry is the fundamental industry of a modern country. It is the lifeblood of a country. As long as you can make achievements in this area, you are equivalent to having an unbreakable foundation, and relying on such a foundation, you can reach out to the field of finance and banking, and it will naturally be a smooth thing. ”

"Of course, I know you're skeptical of something. After all, the development of heavy industry is difficult, and even with your financial resources, it is difficult to develop to the point where Mitsubishi has a modern age. Don't worry though, my friend. Since I have given you this advice, then I will naturally help you. ”

"Fiat Chrysler Cars, we're here to help you get the company as much as you can. With them, you have Fiat, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and well-known car brands like Maserati and Alfa Romeo under your name. This will give you a high-cost postcard straight into the global automotive market. And once you break into the global automotive market, you have your own industrial roots. Next, as long as you cooperate with us to take down South Korea's Samsung and Hyundai Group, then naturally, you have your own industrial empire. ”

"The auto industry, the steel industry, the shipbuilding industry, and the electronics and aerospace industries, these are all going to be the map that will piece together your industrial empire. And as long as you grasp one of them and continue to climb its R&D capabilities, then it is not a distant thing to achieve your dreams. Isn't it? ”

In just a few words, the elder Morgan sketched an ideal picture of the richest man Wang Shoufu that made people intoxicated and mysterious. And at this time, even with the heart of the richest man in the king, he couldn't help but sway. He was moved, thoroughly moved by what old Morgan described for him.

If he can really do what old Morgan said, then even if he is asked to exchange everything he has now, his company, all his property, he is absolutely willing. Because real estate, entertainment, media, and heavy industry are not comparable at all. If the former is a lotus flower blooming on the water, it looks good. Then the latter is a real towering tree, enough to stretch out a piece of the sky.

This is the foundation of immobility, and it is a business that can be passed on from generation to generation. It is a true empire that belongs to the individual. If it could all be done that way, it would be perfect.

However, Wang Shoufu knows very well in his heart that this is not such a simple thing at all. And the biggest problem and obstacle in front of him is that he does not have the capital to replace it in this way.

Even if his own assets are really called the richest man in a country, it is impossible to build such an empire in one go. Among other things, the acquisition of Fiat Kleske alone is a problem. Although the American consortium is willing to help him, this is a European company after all, so the final deal must be realized with real money. And now he can afford such a bargaining chip? The answer is yes, he no longer has such ability.

With the funds he currently has, he can't even buy Fiat Chrysler, let alone Hyundai and Samsung in the follow-up to this plan. Those big consortia that govern an entire country, even if they are not as large as these old consortia in Europe and the United States, are definitely not something that he can pry alone. As Morgan Sr. said, if he wants to do this, he really has to have their help. But the question is, why should they help themselves!

The consortium is the flagship of the capitalists, not the concentration camp of the philanthropists. They don't do such a thing for free just because they are kind. These are all benefits that come at a sky-high price. If they are willing to do so, it must be that they feel that they can get more out of themselves. But how is this possible?

It's not that the richest man Wang despises himself, but he really doesn't think he can have the wealth of a consortium like Hyundai Samsung. That's not a matter of hundreds of billions anymore, it's already something that money can't measure. Even if the consortium really intends to attack an opponent like Samsung Hyundai, there is no reason for them to get a piece of the pie. This is not normal. There is some kind of cattiness in abnormal things. Greasy things are going to kill people. So immediately, Wang Shoufu asked the question in his heart.

"I don't understand, why are you doing this? Am I really worth it? ”

"Why? Is it worth it? Hearing this, old Morgan smiled and replied to him.

"Let's start with the first question, why? Two reasons, one is because we are optimistic about your future. Among the Chinese who can work with us, you are one of the most qualified candidates. And I'm more optimistic about you than the others. Your future is very promising, as long as you do it right, as we said, it is not a problem to build a consortium. Of course, we didn't just decide to do this because we liked you. There are also factors that are specific to other consortia. ”

"Whether it's the European conglomerates or the so-called chaebols in South Korea, they should all be subservient to us. However, because of the changes in the international situation, they began to be a little unable to hold back. It's something that needs to be knocked on for us. Some people need to be gently tapped, like Fiat's parent company, those Italians. And some people, like Samsung and Hyundai, should give them a fatal blow. They've forgotten that they're just dogs. If you don't want to be a loyal dog, you should be a dead dog. Eating dog meat is a tradition in some regions. ”
