After returning home, Feng Yu called Li Chaoren back.
"Feng Yu, has Obaniu agreed to our conditions?" Li Chaoren really wants to invest in ports in the United States. This will further enhance his status as the world's port king, and it will also be of vital importance to his entire port holding company. effect.
Li Chaoren's Hutchison Port Holdings has never had the most ports or berths in the world, but it has invested the most and has the most berths in the most major ports.
No carrier in Europe or Asia is willing to offend Li Chaoren. Even if that carrier has its own ports and a large number of them, in case of congestion and the need to coordinate berths, Li Chaoren is the most reliable one. choose.
Moreover, the price of port berths and the price of loading and unloading goods are mostly the standards set by Li Chaoren's company, or the standards set by Li Chaoren's participation.
But only in the United States, Li Chaoren had nothing to do. Even if Li Zeju is a Canadian national, he still cannot purchase port control rights from the United States, or even participate in shares.
This time Feng Yu said that he had the opportunity to invest in or even control a port in the United States. Li Chaoren was overjoyed. After receiving a call from Feng Yu, he immediately asked about the progress of the matter.
"Obaniu didn't agree on the spot, but I could tell that he was very moved by this. But you also know that the United States has many objections to foreigners controlling ports. Although Zeju is a Canadian national, after all, Hutchison Whampoa belongs to Hong Kong Everyone knows that enterprises belong to China."
"Fortunately, the United States is in great need of investment now. I have mentioned several port cities. If we are allowed to build them, we will invest more than 20 billion U.S. dollars. Of course, this includes the cost of purchasing and building ports, and supporting loading and unloading. Intelligent control equipment, supporting warehouses, storage yards, etc.”
Both Fengyu Holdings Group and Taihua Holdings Group believe that warehouses should be invested in the United States. After many of their products are shipped to the United States, they need a distribution center.
It would be better if there are supporting logistics channels, such as railway or road transportation.
Feng Yu actually wants to build a railway across the east and west coasts of the United States. It is not the current mainstream train in the United States. Most of them are about the same speed as China's green trains, and some are even worse.
What Feng Yu wants to build is a high-speed train. It does not have to reach the speed of 300 to 400 kilometers per hour like a high-speed train, but it cannot be slower than a high-speed train.
Railway transportation has a large volume and is more cost-effective. As long as the United States is willing to let them build and operate it, they will not hesitate to invest enough funds. In the future, they can guarantee that they will not lose money in freight logistics alone. If we add passenger transportation and other things, we will definitely make money.
Coincidentally, Li Zeju also has shares in a railway company in Canada. He can invest in the name of this company, but he must first acquire the shares of this company. Many restrictions between the United States and its allies such as Canada and the United Kingdom are relatively easy to break.
What Feng Yu wants to invest most in the United States is logistics and warehousing. The port was also proposed by Li Zekai. This can also be included in logistics, and this is the industry that the Li family is best at and has the most advantages.
Feng Yu later discussed these investment projects with Li Chaoren. If Feng Yu is allowed to invest in communications, media, etc., then Feng Yu will definitely increase investment in network construction and improve the network.
But these are completely incomparable to the investments Feng Yu might make in logistics and warehousing, and the economic benefits they bring are completely different.
After listening to Feng Yu's words, Li Chaoren calmed down a little. He cared so much about this investment that he could even give up some investments in the UK for this reason. Of course, if he can raise enough funds, he will certainly not give up. After all, he has done so much preliminary analysis and other work.
"Feng Yu, let's work separately on this matter and use all available media to start slandering the ports on the west coast of the United States and slandering the railway transportation in the United States."
"If possible, continue to badmouth the U.S. economy and let them know that the U.S. is in urgent need of foreign investment and needs help from other countries, and China is the country willing to lend a helping hand."
"They also advocate that the United States' military is strong, that they are still the most powerful country in the world, and that no one dares to threaten the United States, and downplay their concept of impact on port security."
In fact, Li Chaoren also scorned the idea that the port would affect safety. It was clearly the big consortiums in the United States that bullied the weak UAE and forcibly bought the port assets from others.
With just a few port berths, what impact can it have on safety? Could it be that these berths can still allow warships from other countries to dock
At that time, some warships docked briefly at those ports, but those were purchased by other countries from your country, the United States, and were about to leave. If they were not stopping at your port, where would they be
In short, this is the United States bullying a small country, but China is not a small country, and the economic impact of Feng Yu, Li Chaoren and others on the United States is not trivial. If they are allowed to buy, but they are forced to sell after buying, the United States will never dare to do this.
The UAE will not publicize this matter very much, but if China does, and Russia and others add fuel to the fire, who else will be willing to invest in the United States
Once Feng Yu wildly divests, and Chinese companies cooperate, regardless of losses, the U.S. economy will decline again. They can't afford it now, and Obama will not let this happen, otherwise he will also step down. .
Why does the United States now not allow foreigners to invest heavily in the media? This is because Americans know that the media has a great influence on American politics.
From elections to every parliamentary decision, the media is used to influence people's judgment. Why does the United States keep promoting the theory of enemy countries? Russia, China, and even the three fat Northern Dynasties. Will these countries really use force against the United States
Definitely not. Russia and China are both working hard to develop their economies, and North Korea cannot even beat South Korea. As for the Middle East, it is entirely for the benefit of energy.
But what effect does this propaganda have? Improve the cohesion of the United States? Maybe a little. But more of it is military expenditure.
You see, there are so many enemy countries, shouldn’t we increase military spending? We in the United States must buy all kinds of advanced weapons and equipment.
Then the pockets of those military and fire dealers bulged again. What if the arms reserve is sufficient? It's like looking for trouble in Afghanistan or something, just find a reason to fight out and consume it again.
The old ones are used up and new ones must be replenished.
Therefore, Feng Yu does not have much hope that Obaniu will allow him to rapidly expand investment in the media field. In the field of mobile telecommunications, Obaniu will not provide any help. Feng Yu is definitely not re-creating a mobile telecommunications company. It's about acquisition. This is a good thing for the original shareholders, but it won't help the U.S. economy much, and Obama won't be too interested.
But the port and the entire supporting construction are different. This is a big project. Feng Yu and the others think this is the most promising and most important project.
Feng Yu even told Zhang Ruiqiang about this matter and asked him to help with some Auba Niu work. This is also of great benefit to Huaxia. Many equipment will be ordered from Huaxia.
Investing abroad can also stimulate domestic economic construction!
