"Lao Li, sales of the Elf have been doing well during the time it was launched. Remember, we must ensure word-of-mouth. Also, we need to speed up the research and development of new models, and we need to have a variety of models for customers to choose from."
In the past, the top car companies all had dozens of cars on sale at the same time. Of course, there are not many main recommended styles, there may only be a dozen or even a few styles, but they cover almost all areas of high, middle and low-end. It doesn't work to only make high-end cars or low-end cars.
"Mr. Feng, do we need to speed up the research and development of the sports car? According to the current progress, we will be able to launch the first sports car around the millennium. If we speed up, it will be almost next year, but the urban off-road vehicle you mentioned The research and development will be delayed.”
"Let's make a sports car first. The old rule is that even a sports car must have at least two grades, and appearance is very important."
"I know, I won't let you down. This time I go to the United States again. Are you planning to build a factory there?"
Feng Yu was going to the United States again, and Li Mingde began to fantasize about building a factory in the United States so that Bingcheng Machinery Company's cars would be as popular in the United States as they were in Russia.
"Don't worry, we will consider this issue after our sports car comes down. I am busy with other things when I go this time. Bingcheng Machinery Company will leave it to you. The research and development of agricultural machinery must not be delayed. Don't forget , we are a big agricultural country."
Feng Yu originally planned to go to the United States after a while, but He Zhaoji and the others continued to speculate in foreign exchange in several Southeast Asian countries.
However, it was much more conservative and the profit was significantly reduced, but the income was still considerable. At the same time, he is also monitoring the movement of Soros' funds to prevent this crazy guy from attacking Hong Kong again.
However, Feng Yu received a call from Bill Gates two days ago. Bill Gates once again helped Steve Forbes and invited Feng Yu to conduct an exclusive interview. He hoped that Feng Yu could appear on Forbes' rich list this year.
Feng Yu thought about it this time and agreed. Steve Forbes estimates Feng Yu’s assets to exceed US$20 billion this time. Regardless of whether Feng Yu accepts an interview or not, their Forbes magazine will publish it.
If this is the case, then Feng Yu might as well turn his passivity into an initiative, and there will be some other benefits.
He found that once he appeared on the rich list and ranked before Soros, then when Soros led others to attack Hong Kong or Russia, Feng Yu could raise his arms and call on others to join him in encircling Soros.
The higher the ranking, the better the effect, right
And Feng Yu also needs this ranking to suppress the voices within Microsoft that oppose him. He wants those people to know that he is a super rich man with a net worth no less than Bill Gates, and let them weigh whether they want to Continue to stand with Paul Allen and attack Feng Yu no matter what.
Of course, Feng Yu also wants to take this opportunity to announce that he has officially entered the field of venture capital and welcomes all promising young people to come to him for investment. In fact, Feng Yu already has a goal.
The profits you can get are definitely different if you come to invest by yourself and if others come to you to invest.
The day after Feng Yu returned to New York, he entertained two important guests in his office in the Empire State Building.
Bill Gates has a really good relationship with Steve Forbes. This time, he even came with Mr. Forbes.
"Boy, do you want to try some Chinese tea?"
"Of course, your Chinese tea is older than coffee." Bill Gates said with a smile.
Feng Yu personally poured the two of them two cups of tea, two cups of Pu'er, instead of the black tea with sugar they had drunk.
Judging from the expressions of the two of them, they didn't like this kind of tea very much, and Feng Yu didn't care. He changed them to black tea with sugar, and there were some dried fruit refreshments on the table.
"Feng, I'm very happy. You finally agreed to give us an exclusive interview with Forbes. Can I use the voice recorder? When I came in, I handed it to your bodyguard." Steve Forbes was a little excited. He believed After the launch of this issue of the magazine, it will inevitably push "Forbes" to another peak. "Fortune" did not pay attention to Feng Yu, a super rich man.
"Mr. Forbes, please don't do this. Bill told me that we were just chatting. I agree with you publishing the chat in your magazine, but it's too formal for my liking."
Without a voice recorder, it doesn't matter if some of Feng Yu's words are wrong, but with a voice recorder, what if they are taken out of context? Or what should I do if the recorder is lost
"Okay." Steve shrugged, with a regretful expression on his face.
"Feng, then I just asked casually?" Steve didn't even have a pen and paper in his hand. He didn't do this when he first interviewed Bill Gates.
Feng Yu made a light gesture, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of Pu'er. These two foreigners don't know how to enjoy the aroma of Pu'er tea.
"Mr. Feng, as far as we know, this time the financial crisis in Southeast Asia broke out, many people said it was caused by Soros's Quantum Fund, but we got news that you seemed to have joined it. You have a big company in Xiangjiang. Isn’t it an investment company?”
"I won't comment on who caused it. My company has indeed invested some money. It's a normal fund investment. Is there any problem?"
"Can you tell me how much profit you made during this period?"
Feng Yu replied with a smile: "A lot."
Steve glanced at Bill Gates. In fact, Bill Gates was also very concerned about this issue. Bill Gates has declared in front of the media more than once that he doesn't care about his false reputation as the world's richest man, but once he learned that his position was threatened, wouldn't he care a lot about it
"As far as we know, it seems that the funds controlled by that Fengyu Consulting Company once exceeded 30 billion US dollars? How much of this is your profit?"
If Feng Yu hadn't registered another fund company, the highest amount of funds on the books would definitely exceed US$40 billion!
Feng Yu looked at Steve and then at Bill Gates, who was extremely serious: "About half."
Bill Gates' eyes widened, about half? Could it be said that Feng Yu earned 15 billion US dollars? Counting Feng Yu's stock market value in Microsoft and Feng Yu's investments in China, aren't Feng Yu's personal assets really as numerous as Steve Forbes said
Although it seems that there is still a big gap between his net worth, who knows if Feng Yu has other income? The data released by "Forbes" every year is not completely without discrepancies. China is also a country with relatively closed information.
If Feng Yu's company is listed again, it is really possible to catch up with him or even surpass him!
Seeing how much money fund owners made, Bill Gates had the idea of increasing investment in foundations.
