"Feng, it's hard for us to continue talking with you like this. You have many industries in the United States. It can even be said that nearly half of the industries are in the United States." Reed looked embarrassed.
Feng Yu raised his eyebrows: "It's less than one-third. Do you think if I lose one-third of my assets, I won't be the richest man in the world?"
Reed suggested that Feng Yu has many industries in the United States and should choose to make some compromises. Feng Yu told the other party that at worst, I don’t want these assets anymore, and whoever is playing tricks is afraid of whom.
I have lost a lot of money, but the United States has also lost a lot. Obama may take the blame and resign by then, and all their efforts to support Obama's rise to power will be in vain.
Why do so many wealthy people in the United States dare to invest abroad? Because the United States is powerful and they know that no one dares to rely on their money unless they have broken the law and there must be conclusive evidence.
Why has China dared to let domestic companies go abroad these years? Because China is strong enough to protect its own people and is not afraid of other countries acting rogue.
Feng Yu is obviously the most valued businessman in China, bar none. However, Feng Yu will become the most valued businessman in any country he goes to. Even the word "Shang" can be removed in some countries.
The United States is now begging China for help. In order for China to help provide money and allow Chinese companies to invest in the United States, they have paid a lot of benefits.
If there is a serious conflict with Feng Yu now, it will have a huge economic impact on the United States, and it will also be a huge blow to the reputation of the United States.
Feng Yu's personal image is very good. In addition to being a bit picky about the United States, he also donates a lot to poor countries and enjoys a high international reputation.
Today, when the media is so developed, especially after the rise of online media, except for some lunatics or fanatical religious believers, no one will use any extreme methods, and most of them will compromise with each other.
What's more, they also hope to make more money by cooperating with Feng Yu.
As for the Internet saying that Feng Yu controls the United States, they sneered at this.
Feng Yu has a lot of assets, but it is still unable to shake the foundation of the United States. Any of their large consortiums are confident that they can compete with Feng Yu.
If Feng Yu became an American, then they would be worried. At that time, Feng Yu was likely to receive more care than them, because Feng Yu had a better business network and did not have an arms dealer background, so he would be more supported by the people.
"Feng, Li, let's shelve this issue for now. We'll talk about it later."
Feng Yu picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea: "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if we talk about it for a year and a half. I'm not in a hurry."
If you don’t invest here, Feng Yu can invest in other things. Whether you are buying stocks at the bottom or investing in crude oil or gold, you are guaranteed to make money. The general trend cannot be reversed by one or two consortiums.
Feng Yu even plans to expand his retail business in the United States. Currently, Ralph has inspected another supermarket retail group, which is controlled by the Dutch retail giant Albert. It is larger than the one Feng Yu acquired before. Sales can also reach 50 billion US dollars.
In the United States, although e-commerce developed very early, there is a big problem, that is, the logistics in the United States is really not good. The service quality is very poor, especially the logistics terminal-delivery person.
Unfortunately, this fee is still very expensive, because many people in the United States live in the suburbs, and urban areas are mostly filled with shops, office buildings, and the like. This makes the transportation distance very long, and the freight is very expensive, not only the gas cost, but also the labor cost.
This characteristic is the same in some European countries, and the e-commerce environment is far from comparable to that of China. So despite the fact that Amazon is now the world's largest e-commerce company, its profitability is still far from being comparable to that of traditional retailers.
Even this year, Amazon's business has grown tremendously. However, after communicating with Bezos some time ago, Bezos said that the expected net profit would not exceed one billion U.S. dollars, which is not as good as the American supermarket chain group Feng Yu acquired. Woolen cloth.
It is also because of the backwardness of logistics terminals that the development of e-commerce in the United States has been severely restricted. Traditional retail is still the most mainstream. What's more, American families basically have cars, or more than one, and they are more accustomed to driving to the supermarket every week for shopping.
Feng Yu’s plan is to allow the supermarket group here to cooperate with the Amazon Group in the future, such as warehousing and purchase channels, etc., which can effectively save costs and increase profits. This is what the Polar Bear Supermarket Group has done very well.
Feng Yu is now expanding his scale in the industry and striving to be the best in the world in every business. Many businesses require vision and planning, and many businesses simply require huge amounts of capital.
Fortunately, Feng Yu doesn't lack these.
Feng Yu's attitude put Reed in trouble again. Only then did he remember that his boss told him to try to negotiate more cooperation with Feng Yu and tie Feng Yu to their California consortium.
Even the boss has said that if Feng Yu is willing, they are willing to let Wells Fargo and Minsheng Bank exchange shares to ensure close ties between the two parties. This is a common method among large consortiums.
In the last century, there may have been a lot of competition among large financial groups, and the methods were even fiercer. But nowadays, there are many close relationships between large financial groups. None of them has the ability to see all the small mountains at a glance, so it is better to share the results to ensure that they will never fall from their heights.
Moreover, this time it was also Aobaniu who took the initiative to seek investment from Feng Yula. Feng Yucai mentioned several investment directions that he was interested in. This port is also a very important investment for Aubaniu.
It is said that China is also paying special attention to this matter. If there is no agreement here, then China will not purchase US treasury bonds. This is obviously to add pressure to Feng Yu's negotiations.
From this we can also see Feng Yu’s importance on the Chinese side. But this national debt was originally promised by China in exchange for other benefits.
Of course, these large consortiums also use the influence of the United States to help them expand abroad, so this is not too surprising.
"Feng, I think we should be able to find a win-win way to cooperate."
"I think so too." Feng Yu said with a smile.
In fact, the long-term benefits are not particularly high. If it were like IT technology, Feng Yu would have given in and promised to sign the contract as soon as possible.
This kind of profit is low, but it is long-term, and it will be particularly tiring when negotiating. But Feng Yu also thought of a good way, which might be able to solve the current problem.
"If you are just worried about employment, then I may be able to help. I am going to invest a lot of money in the logistics industry, which requires a large number of delivery people. This does not require a high degree of education or computer skills. I want those who A longshoreman might be able to do the job.”
Amazon wants to expand its logistics network, and the same goes for Yibai. Feng Yu has long planned to cooperate with Kirilenko to build a huge logistics network in the United States, mainly for terminal delivery.
Not many people were willing to do this job at first, but with the unemployment wave in the United States, it seems that many people are beginning to be willing to apply for this job, even if the salary is not very high.
In this way, I believe the biggest obstacle can be solved, and maybe all five port terminals can become fully automated pilot projects.
