Chapter 1289 – Dumbfounded Donald
Feng Yu remained in Russia for three days. They visited Polar Bear Minerals Enterprise and Polar Bear Supermarket Group, Lenovo Kingsoft Moscow Branch, etc., with Kirilenko.
Feng Yu and Kirilenko’s steel factory, coal factory, etc., had been completed and are in operation.
Polar Bear Minerals Enterprise has zero major accidents, and this is rare in the mining industry. Although there are still minor accidents, they did not cause any heavy losses, deaths, or major injuries. At most, the workers suffered minor injuries and are all recovered.
Feng Yu felt no matter how high the insurance payouts are. They cannot be compared to human life. No matter how poor a man is, there will be hope if he is still alive.
Also, as the mining industry got better in the future, all minerals, including petroleum, coal, natural gas, precious metals, copper, iron, etc., will bring in high returns.
It’s great to be the World’s Richest Man, but it will be too disgusting if people say you made your fortune from other people’s lives.
Even if Feng Yu retires now, he is confident he can hold on to this title for a few decades. Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, or anyone else, will not be a threat to him.
Not many people in the world have more cash than Feng Yu. Wind and Rain Consulting’s Gold Futures contracts can be settled anytime to cash out tens of billion USD. It is more convenient than stocks.
If anyone’s net worth exceeds Feng Yu, he can just let one of his two main companies get listed.
Any company’s value will multiply by at least three to four times when it got listed. It might even increase by more than ten times. Those people in the top ten of <Forbes> list do not have this option to increase their net worth further.
Currently, Feng Yu is more concerned about Warren Buffett. Buffett had bought Coca-Cola shares in his previous life and many other blue-chip shares in 2003, and his assets almost caught up with Bill Gates within three to four years.
In this life, Buffett’s assets might increase faster because of the stock markets’ recovery. His title of the most successful investor of all time is not from himself. Everyone in the industry gives it.
Of course, some disagree. For example, Soros. Soros has successfully made a comeback. Although he is not as arrogant as Soros in Feng Yu’s previous life, his assets are now more than 10 billion USD.
Most importantly, Soros is close to a few bankers and investors and can raise funds easily. History might repeat itself, and Soros might go and create havoc in Japan and other areas again.
“Feng, do you want to visit my internet technology company? They have successfully developed a search engine which is not inferior to Google or Baidu.”
Kirilenko had heard from Feng Yu that search engines have high potential in the future, and he asked his men to develop one quickly. When he knows a small company had started developing search engines, he quickly acquires them.
Kirilenko has gotten control over the Eastern Europe market as all Eastern European countries are using Russian.
Google had wanted to enter the Eastern Europe market but failed. They switched their focus to Western Europe, while Baidu focuses on Asia.
Kirilenko also ordered his company to enter other countries’ markets to compete with Google, and Feng Yu doesn’t mind healthy competition.
“Congratulations, Brother Ki. You should have seen how profitable this company is, right? I will not visit that company as I don’t know about those coding.”
“Hahaha… I also don’t understand. Most important is they know what they are doing, and we will invest and collect our returns.” Kirilenko laughed.
“Brother Ki, if there is nothing else, we will go to the US. The finals are about to start.”
Feng Yu must drink every day at Kirilenko’s place, hoping he can leave for the US soon. At least, he can hide from Kirilenko in LA.
……
The plane landed in New York, and Feng Yu and Kirilenko went to the Wind and Rain Empire State Building. After that incident, the Wind and Rain Empire State Building’s rental increased again.
Although that incident has some impact on the Wind and Rain Empire State Building, it is not serious. After the twin towers collapsed, Wind and Rain Empire State Building became New York’s most prominent landmark again.
Of course, those two buildings are being rebuilt at their original location. But even after it is completed, many major companies will not rent the office spaces there.
Donald Trump is always smiling during this period. Not only Wind and Rain Empire State Building’s rental had increased, but his Trump Building and the surrounding commercial buildings’ value has also increased too.
Without that two tall buildings, there are not enough office spaces in New York.
Also, Trump had cleared all his debts, and his assets returned to more than 1 billion USD.
Many other real estate tycoons had gone bankrupt like Trump in the past. But Trump survived and made a comeback. He is also one of the owners of the Wind and Rain Empire State Building. Although he owns only 5%, he is considered one of the bosses there.
Now, Trump had invested in a TV station. He realized it is advantageous to his business if he controls the media.
Trump used his TV station to tell everyone that New York has a shortage of office spaces, and those office spaces which he could not rent out previously were quickly taken up.
If Trump tells others that New York real estate prices had reached their peak, he can easily acquire the real estate properties at lower prices.
“Feng, Kirilenko, welcome.”
“Donald, I heard you had bought a TV station recently and said something about the current US President.” Kirilenko grinned. Did you see that? Even the Americans are not supporting that idiot President!
“That’s right. That idiot only knows about going into wars and doesn’t know how to make his citizen wealthy. The war cost money, and other than the arms dealers profiting from it, we still have to spend large amounts! If I am the President, the first thing I will do is to recover the US economy and let the Americans become wealthy again!”
The smile on Kirilenko’s face disappeared, and he stormed away angrily.
Do you Americans want to become wealthy again?! You all got to wait until we Russians are wealthy first!
Donald looks at Feng Yu speechlessly. “Feng, did I say anything wrong earlier?”
Feng Yu patted Donald’s back. “No. Just do what you want. I believe in you!”
