Chapter 541 [A toy man still makes so many requests? 】
"Mr. Luo, some consensus has been reached between business negotiations with Indonesia, but the core issue has not been resolved. Indonesian Lion has made a big statement and demanded to obtain 40% of the equity and advance funds from our company. This is not the way to play short-selling wolves."
Xiao Shijie's voice came from the other end of the phone. Luo Sheng could hear it. Although he was very calm, he was very unhappy.
After all, Xingjian International went with money and sincerity. Indonesia was lying down while suddenly a big pie fell from the sky, but it was not satisfied.
"Mr. Luo, if you want to say that I just gave up Indonesia, I will make the bid public and let Malesia participate." Xiao Shijie said another sentence when he saw that Luo Sheng did not answer immediately.
Of course, Luo Sheng understood what he meant. He said it was a bidding, but in fact, because he had to approach the equatorial line, this was a hard rule, and not many people met the requirements. If the site was selected in Southeast Asia, it would be either Malaysia or Indonesia, and Indonesia was indeed the best location.
Luo Sheng finished his thoughts and decisively deny it: "No, if you really do this, the problem will only be tricky. Why? That is the so-called "island chain" area. If the Americans stumbling on me, they will make an excuse, for example, if I build a commercial port hub to establish a supply hub center for the ocean port, this is not a problem or a problem."
Xiao Shijie suddenly realized: "Why didn't I think of this level? I have no consideration. Mr. Luo, what do you think should I do?"
Luo Sheng is now a person who hates North America. Anyway, as long as he can make things less painful, the United States is still very happy to make do with it. It is definitely very diligent in dismantling the table and other things.
"Haha, the Americans can stumbling on me, and in turn, they can also give us a hand. Then we will borrow Americans' tiger skin to scare our partner. They want 40%? I'll let him vomit half of it." Luo Sheng replied slowly.
"How to operate it in detail?" Xiao Shijie asked curiously. The communication line was very safe, so there was no need to worry about anything. You could just say anything on the phone.
"Didn't he ask for 40% of the port equity? You pretend to grit your teeth and agree. Then there will be a US capital asking to come in and play Landlords. We can't say anything less than 45%. American investors don't talk much, so they have to share 40% when they speak, and then Indonesia can only get 15%.
Xiao Shijie couldn't help but analyze: "On the surface, Indonesian side is the most vulnerable on this card table. We can withdraw our investment and Indonesia won't force us too much. If we scare us away, we can't make any money, and if we build a port next door, we will vomit blood even more angry. And if the US-funded Wall Street background, Indonesia dares not offend us, so we can only grit our teeth and endure it."
Luo Sheng: "That's right. Haha, we have to thank Soros."
Thanks to Soros for what?
Xiao Shijie was suspicious for a moment, but being able to serve as the executive vice president of Xingjiang International was not a mediocre person. He realized the truth in an instant and subconsciously praised: "Yes, this trick is really a masterpiece. Southeast Asians are afraid of Soros. The US-funded background is directed to Wall Street, but it is actually our vest. Assuming that North America will put pressure on Indonesia in the future, our vest will also put pressure on the reverse, which is also in line with the essence of Wall Street's only seeking interests."
"But, in Indonesia's eyes, Wall Street and North America are all the way, there is no difference. As a result, it is definitely not up, retreat, nor does it mean to listen, nor does it mean to not listen, or does not listen, you will feel that the Americans are deliberately playing with him. In this way, I, Xingjiang International, on this table, in Indonesia's eyes, immediately became naturally magnificent and glorious. Only then will I know who is the one who is sincere and kind to make money. I, will naturally trust me, and at the same time, I hope that we will fight with the Americans and share the pressure, but as long as I ask for it, I will be controlled by me, which is wonderful."
Xiao Shijie admired the big boss from the bottom of his heart. In such a short time, he could come up with such a trick to perfectly solve the problem, and at the same time he could get back half of his benefits from Indonesia.
There seemed to be four people sitting on this card table, Star Arrow International, Indonesian, American capital, and North American authorities.
There are actually three people, and one is fake.
Not only did Indonesia not know that there was a fake one inside, but it also treated the fake one as real, but also regarded him as being with the Americans, but in fact it was Luo Sheng's vest.
Luo Sheng smiled and said, "The trick is a good trick, it's just a little loss."
Xiao Shijie: "Haha, I can only say that greed is not enough, and I deserve it."
In Xiao Shijie's eyes now, Indonesia is just a tool man, and even tool man may not be called a toy man.
Does a toy make so many requests?
Who do you do if you don't do it first?
I thought I was a card player, but in fact I was just a card toy in someone else's hand.
Star Arrow International really needs to pay attention to only one side, that is, North America. At the same time, both sides will likely compete openly and secretly from the Indonesian card as the entry point.
This question is simple and actually that simple. It’s just that to sort out the core problem.
But it is actually not easy to be complicated. If Singapore next door knows, it will definitely be the first one and will try every means to obstruct it.
Maybe Japan will be involved. After all, the Malacca Strait area is one of the busiest maritime transportation routes in the world, especially for a country like Japan that relies on resource imports.
If we go a little further, it may have a certain impact on the Middle East. Commodity transactions such as oil are mainly transported by sea, and oil transported to East Asia basically has to go to the Strait of Malacca.
If there is any trouble here, everyone will be very nervous, afraid that it will affect their route. It is best not to do anything here, be stable, pay some tolls, be at peace, and everyone will feel at ease.
I have to say that Luo Sheng is really good at choosing the place.
But this is not because he really wants to choose here, but because there are only a few countries on the equatorial line, and there is no better choice to choose Indonesia.
The communication link with Xiao Shijie has ended, and he has not returned to it in Southeast Asia. Some issues have been discussed.
...
There is indeed no airtight wall in the world. Xiao Shijie negotiated the investment and construction of Xinggang Hub in Linga County in Indonesia and finally reached the ears of major port group companies in Singapore.
At first, when I learned that Xingjian International was going to build a harbor near its doorstep, I was very suspicious of the authenticity. Your private space company didn’t think about how to go to the sky, so what did it mean to run far away to build a harbor near the Strait of Malacca?
I have never seen such an unemployed company before. Even a normal person would not do such an abnormal thing.
But as time went by, Singapore finally realized that Xiao Shijie had been in Indonesia for so long and talked so many times, and he really wanted to build a port.
Not only did I know, I also got first-hand negotiation information. Anyway, people from Indonesia were bribed. In short, the news was obtained and it was very reliable. I also learned that Xingjian International planned to build a super-large port with a capacity of five or six million TEUs, and confirmed it correctly.
Singapore is anxious.
What's wrong?
The business has been snatched to the door, and no one can stand it.
In the past, Malesia and Indonesia next to them wanted to get a share of the shipping transfer, but they couldn't help but Singapore didn't even look at these two neighbors.
And although Singapore is so big, the navy's strength is not to be underestimated in Southeast Asia, and it is also a state that cannot be underestimated, as well as the support of the American father.
Singapore is not afraid of two neighbors robbing business, because they know what the other party is, but they can’t even fight. They may not build a super-large port for 20 or 30 years. After construction, they may not be able to operate and transfer it in the end.
But when Chinese people come, it will be completely different.
There are few people in the world who don’t hate competing with Chinese people, because the first thing the Chinese people do is to reduce prices and be very efficient.
Singapore has no doubts about building a port with a capacity of 5 million TEUs per year and excellent quality for ten years. At the same time, it does not doubt that the other party can operate the port. Maybe it will give you a direct reduction of 50%.
Who can stand it?
It was really urgent, and it was speculated that this was a revenge act by the Chinese.
Singapore thought of the grievances at the Guador port back then. This port is located in the eastern part of the Strait of Hormuz. If this port is operated, the oil freighters there can be transit there. As long as the land is opened, the oil imported by China in the future will not need to go to the Strait of Malacca, but just go to Pakistan.
The goods are unloaded directly at the Port of Guador, and then transported by land, from the country's northwest to the country, and the northwest will also gain huge development benefits, driving backward economic areas in the northwest.
Singapore, more than ten times the malicious bid for the port's development rights of ten times the bid of China, eventually fell into the hands of Singapore International Port Group Corporation. It took 40 years to sign it, but it was deliberately idle and delayed China's development with the goal of maintaining Singapore's shipping status.
What Singapore thinks is that your boat has to pass through the Strait of Malacca.
Until 2010, Pakistan saw Singapore's malice, so it forcibly revoked its operating rights and handed them over to China Company.
At present, Singapore feels that this is a revenge act by the Chinese.
In fact, this is a typical villain's heart to judge a gentleman. If China wants to obtain the operating rights of Guador Port, it is not difficult. It is enough to write the contract when the aid was built that year. China builds Guador Port and Pakistan gives n years of operating rights. This can be achieved during negotiations. Anyway, the money will not be given less, and neither party will lose any loss.
It seems that I didn't see it. It's impossible. How could I not understand such a simple thing? I have lived through the thousands of years of civilization.
This actually laid a foreshadowing for the "international competition" more than ten years later.
But Singapore doesn't think so, and thinks that the other party is here to take revenge.
At the same time, there is also real interests. If there is a super-large port operated by the Chinese company in Linga County, and ships entering and leaving the Indo-Pacific in the future, there is no reason for Chinese ships not to go to the port of Linga County to replenish or transfer.
Losing this part of the market alone will be a huge loss to Singapore's port business.
In order to prevent the birth of this port, major port group companies under Singapore hope to kill it in the cradle.
Within a few days, local media spoke out, and the front page headlines of many media outlets issued a "warning", which was actually calling on American fathers, saying that the other party was under the guise of commercial ports and actually wanted to break through the layout of island chain blockade.
When the Americans heard this, they were almost clear that they were all shouting. The division was famous and legitimate. In order to show their concern for me, they must respond enthusiastically. So an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer drove out of the Zhangyi Naval Base in Singapore and rushed straight to the waters of Linga Island.
There is currently an ocean investigation ship here that is conducting scientific investigation of the local hydrological environment. The main task is to understand the marine ecosystem in this sea area and have drawn a bottom topographic map. It is Xiao Shijie who brought a scientific research investigation team from China, and it has been almost a month since then.
They didn't know that a warship from the United States was coming straight to them.
