Chapter 1033 Shift in Focus

In today's society, the word imperialism seems to have become shouted by everyone, mainly in mainstream public opinion, which is very politically incorrect. However, it is indeed a humiliation for the country and the nation to be imperialized, but it has the ability to practice imperialism abroad...... Do you always feel very dark?

This is the same as the psychology of saying that grapes are sour when you can't eat grapes, and it is similar to the hatred of the rich in society, but in fact it is not that we hate money, but why is it not mine? It is better for those who are richer than me to go out every day and step on dog shit! Fall into the dung pit! I am afraid that they will not be unlucky!

So in essence, Jing Jian is the same kind of person as those European and American energy giants, so he shares a common language with Dr. Locke.

However, even if there is a common language, the cake is so big, and it always needs to be fought for its own interests, and no one will be stupid enough to make a wedding dress for others.

During the conversation, Jing Jian learned that Dr. Locke represented a large energy group in Europe, and belonged to a relatively high position, not a simple messenger, with high decision-making power.

Dr. Locke proposed a plan: in order to facilitate management, all stakeholders will form a management committee, which can effectively reduce internal friction and have a place where they can negotiate and solve.

The vicinity of the pier in Heilan City will be opened up as a public relations area to provide convenience for all businesses. The area around Heilan City will become a free city under international condominance, and even implicitly encourage the independence of the local government. Fortunately, there is no direct mention of the opening of the concession, and the status of Heilan as a free city will be recognized internationally.

As for the rest of the city, if there is no oil, who cares if the black corn lives or dies? And the investment in public facilities in the city of Heran will also be open to all committee members. In particular, in the construction of wharves, it is best to moor large warships and create good conditions for international military "mediation."

Of course, other parties also "respect" China's interests, and are willing to bear not only the vast majority of the construction costs, but also the "security fee" of $5 million. No matter how the black gold company is used, there is only one requirement - a "peacekeeping zone" should be formed within 50 kilometers around Heilan City, and the surrounding tribes should be prohibited from coming to "make trouble", especially not to prevent families from making a fortune in Heilan City.

In fact, cooperation between countries is a true portrayal of the strength of various countries.

Although on the surface, China has a lot to gain, but in reality it will also lose a lot of benefits. Not to mention that those wolves are coming, and they will not be able to eat those alone in the future, but the $5 million "security fee" alone? Is it really that easy to get? Those surrounding tribes are really good babies, and they will obediently let you form a "peacekeeping zone"? It is definitely impossible, there will definitely be battles big and small. That is, other countries pay for the Chinese to work together with their local governments.

There is no way around this, because China's influence in Africa itself is not strong, and during this period, there is an all-round contraction of foreign countries, and there is nothing in military aid, inter-state loans, and so on, so how can it compete with those European and American countries? In particular, without military investment, it cannot safeguard its own economic interests. Otherwise, the dumpling ship will be desperately launched in the future, and there is no arms race, which is nothing more than a reason to guarantee the Belt and Road Initiative.

If it weren't for a series of coincidences, it would not have been possible for Fusoya to get those benefits before. Now it is nothing more than the return of the real power comparison, and it is already very good to be able to have you China join.

As for the money from European and American countries? This is not from the energy groups themselves, just make up the reasons for peacekeeping and human rights, and the Congress will pass it, and those people who pay taxes will pay for it. The taxes you pay are considered entertainment taxes.

Jing Jian and Dr. Locke must be well aware of this situation. There is no need to mention some unrealistic conditions to waste time, sometimes strength is the last word, and some grievances can only be recognized by breaking their teeth.

The stakes are high, and Jing Jian will never be rash. He also understood Dr. Locke's intentions, using a yang scheme, which should be the method of boiling frogs in warm water, first finding a way to enter Heilan City, and then slowly encroaching on it, and finally if there is a chance, even squeezing China out of this circle. It is also a contest of strength, compared with the existence of European and American countries in Africa, China is indeed a weak chicken.

However, Jing Jian knew that Feng Shui would take turns. Since the collapse of the former Soviet Union, in just over a decade, China has developed to the point where it cannot be ignored in the international community. Especially after economic development, the military has also made great progress. Therefore, the ideas of those European and American energy companies can only be said to be fantasy, as long as this nail can be laid, they are not afraid that you will compete at all, and they are afraid that you will be slowly eaten away by China.

……

After receiving Jing Jian's promise, Dr. Locke was satisfied. For this rich man on the wealth list, under normal circumstances, no one wants to offend casually. Or it can be said that if it weren't for Jing Jian's current wealth status, the approach of those energy companies this time may not be so "gentle". If it is not necessary, no one will take the initiative to start a war with a rich tycoon who rivals the country.

In the latest edition of the Forbes list, Jing Jian ranked third in the world with a net worth of $4.7 billion. At present, there is no list such as the Chinese ranking list or the Chinese mainland ranking list, and there is no concept such as the wealth list introduced in China, so the impact on this list is relatively large internationally, and few people know it in China.

Moreover, in the notes to the list, it is pointed out that Jing Jian still has a large amount of wealth that has not been disclosed, and he has not responded to the interview request of the editor of Forbes magazine, so he only counts the valuation of the equity of the listed company he owns, and the real wealth may be much higher than this statistic.

In fact, in the past few years, Jing Jian has slowly shifted his focus to China, and the potential of this part of the assets is amazing, but there is no way to count the list at all. As a joke, even Jing Jian himself doesn't know how much wealth he has in China.

As for foreign industries, they are developing normally, and many even take the initiative to reduce their holdings and extract funds to invest in China. For example, Bluestar.com, Jing Jian now holds less than 35% of the shares, and only maintains the status of a major shareholder.

Although the Internet industry has become a hot topic, it is still the era of portals. In the history of the previous life, those portals were all cool in the end, the key is that they did not find a profit model, in 98, when the first Internet bubble burst, a large number of people died, and even the representative AOL was finally acquired by Time Warner.

Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, Jing Jian has already slowly disposed of these "inferior" assets.
