672. Good News
Why do you like this kind of tune? There is good news and bad news at the beginning?
Li Yifan could only complain with helpless smile in his heart. In such a plot, he was an optimistic person himself, so he tended to listen to the good news first.
"Okay, I'll tell you, this good news is the first. Your money was laid smoothly. After more than a month, it has basically been washed and put on the shore."
Annie Lee had no trace of ink, so she went straight to the point and got to the point. When she said this news, she still had a look of pride in her expression.
Li Yifan was not surprised at all about such news, because he believed that Li Annie had such ability. Not to mention her, she was very accomplished in finance.
On the other hand, in Southeast Asia, who doesn’t know that Singapore is the largest financial center, and this financial center is directly based on the foundation of their Li family dynasty.
There are several important regions in the world's financial landscape of Yada. The most important of these is of course the Japanese financial market. The scale of capital flow in this market accounts for about 14 to 15% of the world's financial flow scale.
The other places, one is Hong Kong in China, one is Singapore, and the other is Sydney in Australia. These three places can also account for about one percent of the world's financial capital circulation scale.
Although this scale of one percent is incomparable to financial capital capital like New York, London, Frankfurt, and even Tokyo. However, in the world's financial capital flow through trillions of dollars, the money they earn every year is calculated by thousands of billions of dollars.
In recent years, due to the successor of the world-class financial crisis caused by the Southeast Asian financial crisis, Sydney, Australia and Hong Kong, China, have all suffered heavy losses due to the economic model, and so far, it has not yet seemed very active.
However, Singapore, a small place, relies on its superior geographical advantages and strong support from their American godfather, not only has the vitality of financial capital, but it has even better than before.
Especially in recent times, after the United States began to use force in Afghanistan and pointed at the Middle East, Singapore's military ports were already full of warships from the United States. On the one hand, the Li family has stepped up their contacts with the Americans, and on the other hand, they have seized time to show their force to the surrounding areas.
As we all know, Singapore has always been a small country that survives in the cracks, surrounded by Islamic countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia. At the beginning of Singapore's founding, the two countries were not very friendly to Singapore, but under international pressure, the two countries did not dare to use force against Singapore.
Later, because the Li family was flexible and the geographical location of Singapore was too important. On the one hand, the Li family closely linked their sect leader Britain and the United States, and on the other hand, they kept showing kindness like the big men in Malay and Indonesia, often quietly providing convenience for their capital flow, so the country survived smoothly.
However, this country has a strong sense of crisis and is well aware of its shortcomings, so it is very vigilant about the two surrounding major powers. Now that the American fleet is living in their ports, they will certainly not miss such an opportunity to show their purity and strength to the surrounding countries.
As long as the country is safe, only then can foreign hot money be guaranteed to pass through this place to transfer to Hong Kong. In the past two years, Singapore has been committed to building the image of the largest logistics distribution center in Asia and even the world. Now with the attitude of Americans, they can of course do their best, and this will stimulate the prosperity of the local economy.
Singapore's economy has prospered, and their capital market has become more developed. The scale of funds flowing in the market every day is calculated from more than one billion to several billion.
Under such circumstances, Annie Li wanted to whitewash the more than 700 million US dollars that Li Yifan gave her, which was a piece of cake.
With her financial means and the basic relationship network behind her, it would be easy to clean up the money. As long as you do it carefully, even if you are the best at checking the financial foundation, the strong soldiers of the IRS, who are the best at checking the financial foundation, will not be able to find out what is going on.
So Li Yifan has absolute confidence in Annie!
"Now, all of this money is stored on Bank of Zurich, Swiss Bank, and several security accounts of Temasek. You can use it with confidence and boldness. No one can find out the origin of this money."
Annie Lee looked a little proud, and she was obviously very satisfied with this action.
"Haha, I'm totally relieved about this. So what about the other good news?"
Li Yifan laughed and asked.
"Another good news is about the special steel smelting formula you asked me to go to Nanyang University before to inquire about."
"Oh? Is this a sign of excuse?"
After hearing this, Li Yifan raised his eyebrows and his expression suddenly became nervous and serious.
Recently, because he is going to get involved in this business, he has also learned some understanding of the current situation of the domestic special steel market. Combined with his previous life, he has basically found some tricks about the current domestic special steel market.
In his previous life, because of the increasing demand for special steel in China and the huge import volume, the departments under the General Staff even had to work with several special service teams under the National Defense Science and Technology Commission to work internationally and attack everywhere to find information on the smelting formulas and materials of special steels. Therefore, he also had a certain understanding of the situation of the domestic special steel market at that time.
As of now, the domestic economy is in a dormant stage before entering the real estate tide. At present, the demand for steel in China is not large. Even ordinary crude steel is the same. It is completely self-sufficient and does not even need to import iron ore powder from abroad.
However, in the field of special steel, the shortage has begun to appear. At present, my country's annual demand for special steel is about 1.5 million tons, to about 2 million tons.
Except for some low-level products that can be produced by domestic production, almost all of the remaining 80% of the shares need to be imported, and the import cost is even more terrifying.
These special steels are basically from Japan or Germany, and the purpose of these steels is that construction accounts for 5% of the time, transportation accounts for 50%, and special military industries accounts for about 45%.
It takes hundreds of millions of dollars to import these special steels every year, and it cannot get the top special steels in their hands. This has caused our country to fall into a bottleneck in many development areas.
If Li Yifan remembers correctly, a certain confidential information he has read shows that after 2002, my country is about to enter the sneaking trend of the real estate tide, then the outbreak period, and the rapid development of the automobile industry. At this stage, my country's demand for special steel has increased rapidly.
Ten years later, the annual demand for special steel in my country will reach 700 to 8 million tons, and less than 5% of the ones that can be produced by my country. Among them, most of the ones that require large amounts of imports come to Germany and Japan, especially Japan, which have a larger market share, and at the highest point, it can really reach 30%.
Fortunately, our relationship with Koreans was pretty good at that time, so we could buy some special steel from Pohang, South Korea. However, when we saw that information, almost all the people involved in that operation were bleeding in their hearts.
Such a huge country, the Celestial Kingdom that has been dignified for thousands of years, has now fallen to the point where it wants to buy a lot of technology from its original vassal state. I really don’t know how to describe that feeling.
So although everyone knows that the action was very dangerous, everyone is extremely enthusiastic. In that action, because it involves stealing confidential information from many countries, many friends died or even disappeared.
The result of their efforts is that the country has formulated a plan to vigorously develop special steel enterprises a year later, and will build a large special steel smelting production base with Puhai, Yinjiang, and Bincheng, north as three centers. By 2015, it will achieve an annual output of 8 million tons of special steel...
But those are all things that will not be mentioned later. Now when I heard that Li Annie had helped her get a lot of special steel smelting formulas without bloodshed, although Li Yifan was very calm on the surface, his inner excitement was so great that he could not be more excited.
If Annie Lee hadn't sat in front of him, he would have even wished he would jump up happily and cheer.
"Hehe, can you introduce me to me? What good things have you made?"
"Haha, OK."
As Li Annie said that, she turned on the laptop she carried with her, then opened a folder, clicked on a document, and explained to Li Yifan while looking at the computer screen.
