The shrewd Mou Dazhong also had a premonition that the impact of the Asian financial crisis on the economy would not be small. He followed Sun Jian's advice and did not continue to invest in the construction of the Russian industrial park. He also stopped attacking in various places, contracted the front, and used his 20 million shares of Shen Bank as collateral. , borrowed 80 million yuan from Minsheng Bank, and calmed down to build the Manzli International Highway Port.
Last year's Asian financial turmoil turned into this year's Asian financial crisis. The stock and property markets of Southeast Asian countries and Hong Kong plummeted, causing heavy economic losses.

"Mr. Mou, Mr. Du, how much investment do you need from Taobao Holdings Company? How many shares do you need?"
Sun Jian has no interest in investing and controlling the Manli-Nande Railway Co., Ltd. The investment is long and the results are slow, and he is completely fulfilling his obligations.

It has a director seat on the company's board of directors and has voting rights, but it does not interfere with the company's daily operating affairs. It is still hard for Mr. Mou and Mr. Du to .”
