Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Chapter 723 European Investment

As I said before, it is now a period of strong repatriation of the US dollar, and global funds are returning to the United States. Most currencies in the world will depreciate, and some of the more affected ones will depreciate sharply. Britain is different. They are going to leave the European Union, and the depreciation will definitely accelerate along with this process.

what does that mean? Some British assets have become less attractive, and those that were not available before will become available in the future. For example, Xiangjiang Li Bancheng is investing in England, acquiring various assets such as electricity and tap water.

Some people may think that there will be exchange rate losses in investment now, but don’t forget that there are various hedging tools, such as buying options to short the British pound, things that even Qu Li understands, but people in the world don’t understand?

The reason Qu Li cares about these things is because Yingda Real Estate is going to invest in long-term rental apartments in England, or in other words, the model of renting out/renting and not selling after construction, including long-term rental apartments, serviced apartments, student apartments, etc.

Compared with the low gross profit of the domestic long-term rental housing market, the situation abroad is much better. In England, it can be maintained between 6 and 8%, and the supply of long-term rental apartments in Xiangjiang is also in short supply. Moreover, this industry can go through the economic cycle. As long as it is not the "Great Depression", it will basically have no major impact. For example, during the epidemic, Longfor Guanyu began to make profits.

Yingda Real Estate invests in long-term rental housing, and the long-term funds provided by Xiangjiang Investment and China United Insurance provide management services. Don't think that this is illegal. The "build and rent out" industry in England was originally intended to be packaged and sold to large investment institutions such as insurance companies and sovereign funds.

Yingda Real Estate has taken a fancy to college student apartments in England, a resource that is often in short supply, and may also jointly develop real estate projects with local real estate developers to make long-term rental apartments. However, Yingda Real Estate is not a well-capitalized "dragon across the river". Qu Li occasionally shows up to support the scene, accepting interviews from the media, and bragging by the way.

In addition to Qu Li's family history, the focus is on sustainable energy economy. Some people thought that he was a junior high school student who didn't understand these things and wanted to see his jokes, but the facts quickly slapped him in the face. It is possible to lose the chain on this "big event".

"Why do you want to open up electric car patents with Tesla's Musk?"

"Because the Tesla model S and Geometry G9 are truly modern electric vehicles, some of the patents we applied for are basic patents, and they are difficult to bypass. So in order to avoid overt or covert suppression by traditional auto giants...

In the process of electric vehicles replacing fuel vehicles, both Tesla and Geometry may become new auto giants, and the previous electric vehicles are only the foundation. Our technology is advancing rapidly, and intelligence may be the final decisive scenario... ..."

Compared with Musk's ideas for the future of mankind, Qu Li is much more complicated. He has all kinds of ideas, and it is difficult to judge which reason plays a decisive role.

Some people like Musk, some people like Qu Li, this is normal, Tesla has not yet entered the British market, so the high-end electric car brand only has Geometry G9, this user experience really surpasses traditional fuel vehicles.

There are already many visual inspection videos in Europe. The Geometry G9 is not perfect and already has the quality of a luxury car, at least it has no obvious shortcomings.

"Aren't you for environmental protection?" The reporter asked maliciously

"In the beginning, I wanted to build an electric car. The purpose was to protect the environment. Half of it was inspired by Musk and others, and the other half was the need of faith." Qu Li

"Faith, do you have faith? I mean Chinese people rarely have faith, I haven't heard that you have..." Reporter

"The belief I said may be different from what you understand, but I can't find a better word to describe it, so I have to use faith." Qu Li is not in a hurry. He is not afraid of controversy in the interview, but he is afraid that he will not be given a chance to explain , he did not want to set up a perfect personality, but to let global consumers see that he is an oriental entrepreneur who is greatly influenced by Chinese culture, so he began to introduce Taoist thought: knowledge, seeking, learning, questioning, enlightenment, In the end, it reaches the state of "innocence", where the body is in harmony with nature, the inside and outside are pure, and the harmony between man and nature is one and so on...

"What our Taoists pursue is the harmonious coexistence between man and nature..." Qu Li finally concluded

"Then why is the environmental pollution so serious?"

"In China, Confucianism has a greater influence. Generally speaking, it is more pragmatic. It is more important to feed 1.4 billion people than nature. We must first live with dignity." Qu Li explained: "So I established Fanxing The fund has invested in an environmental protection project called Ant Forest, and plans to plant 1.4 billion trees in China to protect several ecological centers..."

"The environment of Zhongwo will be restored by the Chinese, and we are working hard!" Qu Li

He was interviewed by reporters not just for bragging rights, but also to allow Honeycomb Energy to enter the European market smoothly and deal with some traditional old money forces, including the courts of various countries. Virtual power plants are not yet taken seriously, but with the popularity of electric vehicles, the pressure on the power grid will increase by an order of magnitude, such as power cuts in Sichuan and Chongqing.

It can be said that the lack of electricity will directly choke the throat of the new energy industry chain. If this problem is not solved, it is difficult to say that mankind can smoothly enter the era of electric vehicles.

Whether it is a virtual power plant or a smart grid, they are all solving the problem of power grid pressure. If it is distributed, it is fine, but will a centralized virtual power plant become a core node of the power grid? How to guarantee the safety issue?

No matter how big the difficulty is, internationalization is the general trend, and these problems can be solved after all. Even if they can't be solved, Hive Energy has accumulated experience and technology, and it will not lose money after all.

It was already February when Qu Li finished handling the affairs in Europe. He flew to Singapore, stayed for a few days, and flew back to Xingsha. The headquarters of Future Geometry and Hive Energy are both in Xingsha.

Huxiang Province has launched the UHV power transmission plan ahead of schedule. Power transmission from the Northwest to Hunan. Honeycomb Energy may participate in some of these projects. The purpose is definitely not to make money, but to try a virtual power plant. At this stage, this demand is not available for the time being. Big, but that day will surely come.

Huxiang's lack of electricity has also introduced large-scale industries, artificially creating demand, so it has become a pilot project for the power grid. It is unnecessary to think about making money, and it may even lose money.

Qu Li chatted with them at Honeycomb Energy. Glory is directly responsible for the German virtual power plant company, while Xingsha mainly focuses on power and energy storage batteries. It's the headquarters, but it doesn't look like the headquarters. Who makes there are few talents here, and they don't make much contribution.

Qiancheng Motor's production base in Xingsha is all producing SUVs. Quli has limited its production capacity to 400,000, and now it is still borrowing Cheetah's factory for production. This is one of the reasons for the disagreement. The first hybrid plant has a production capacity of 50,000 in Xingsha, and the second is in Ningbo, which is under planning, with a production capacity of more than 100,000.

However, Qiancheng Motors will adjust the production capacity of 100,000 SUVs to the Tianjing factory this year. With the experience of building a factory, they can speed up the time cycle. The Tianjing factory is about to be ready. It can be put into production, this is the ability of banknotes.

"The progress of financing needs to be accelerated!" Qu Li urged Deng Weijiang, looking at the future where there was a shortage of money everywhere.

"It's already very fast, it can be released after the new year, if it can be done before the year in China." Deng Weijiang

"Has the Mitsubishi Group entered the game?" Qu Li asked again

"No……"
