Chapter 1231: The G7
In the months after the Spring Festival, Li Guangyu was very monotonous, basically from home to the company and back home, he did not fly to other places at this time, and even in June, the Goose City Port and the Goose City Chemical Base were officially put into use, Li Guangyu did not go to attend.
It was attended by Du Yuemei, Xie Tao and Zhou Zhigang, and Li Guangyu himself attended the graduation ceremony of Xiangjiang Chung Hua University, which was the first undergraduate graduation of Xiangjiang Chung Hua University, and the school attached great importance to it, and the directors of the school attended the ceremony.
It is also from this time that the number of fresh graduates of Xiangjiang universities has more than doubled, and there were only Xiangjiang University and Xiangjiang Chinese University in the past, and the Xiangjiang Flight Attendant College, which began to graduate last year, basically went to work in airlines due to its professionalism.
This year is different, not only Hong Kong Chung Hua University ushered in the first batch of undergraduate graduates, but also Hong Kong University of Technology and Hong Kong City University ushered in the first batch of undergraduate graduates.
The more than 10,000 graduates who will come out this year will bring new vitality to the development of Hong Kong's economy and alleviate the plight of lack of talents in many industries in Hong Kong.
The situation in the world has also changed significantly, and the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan in June marked the beginning of the hegemon's global shrinkage of its military power.
Moreover, under the auspices of the Soviet leadership, vigorous political reforms were launched in June, economic reforms were still advancing, and the autonomy of enterprises within the Soviet Union was increasing.
At the same time, the control over the Warsaw Pact members has also weakened significantly, which has caused internal undercurrents to surge in many Eastern European countries.
Donghua Trading Company and Eastern European countries trade volume is also getting bigger and bigger, that is, not counting the Xiangjiang and Echeng chemical base equipment worth 500 million US dollars, other transactions, in this half a year the bilateral trade volume has also exceeded 6 billion US dollars, this ultimately does not exist a trade deficit, is in the form of barter transactions, that is, unilateral are 3 billion US dollars.
However, the Donghua Trading Company made a lot of money, and the value of the products traded to Eastern Europe was only $2 billion after removing various costs, and because the unit price of the products exchanged in Eastern Europe was far lower than the market price, they sold the goods worth $3 billion in exchange for Eastern Europe to about $4 billion.
That is to say, in the past six months, through such a scale of reselling, Donghua Trading Company has made a lot of 2 billion US dollars, and these two reversing dealers are really promising.
It's a pity that this kind of business can't last long, otherwise Donghua Trading Company will really be able to suppress several major retail groups.
With the intensification of reforms in the Soviet Union, the G7 is already communicating and negotiating with the Soviet Union, and these guys are ready to intervene, especially the American consortium, which has long been eyeing the Soviet Union, and what Li Guangyu is doing now has some serious impact on their plans.
Originally, they wanted to drag the Soviet Union through the economy, but Li Guangyu greatly eased the economic situation of the Soviet Union and even the members of the Warsaw Pact through such a form of trade.
Although Li Guangyu is also relatively squeezed in terms of price, at least the products of these countries can be sold, and Li Guangyu focuses on buying oil, natural gas, coal and other resource-based products, these products do not matter if the price is low for the Soviet Union, now the main thing is to be able to sell, anyway, if you don't mine and put it there, you won't be able to exchange for living materials and food.
The Warsaw Pact member states are very willing to use these resources to improve people's lives by exchanging these resources for food and light industrial products that are in urgent short supply, and can also reduce some social contradictions.
They also want to trade with Western countries, but these countries want to drag their economies along, so they can only find another way, and the Lee consortium is an important channel for them to cooperate.
It's not that they don't understand that Li Guangyu and their transactions are being oppressed, it's just that this is the way of business, and they have to bow their heads now when they are faced with such a situation.
After all, the Li consortium also has to take great risks, and it is also necessary to earn high profits, if they still have opinions on this, I am afraid that no company or force is willing to make such a transaction with them.
The current Gan Qinglin can be said to be a man of the year in Central and Eastern Europe, in order to ensure the safety of this person, Li Guangyu specially mobilized the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth action groups to go over, replaced the previous group, and let these three groups of 72 people escort Gan Qinglin's safety.
After all, Gan Qinglin is now the person of the Li consortium to contact various forces in Eastern Europe, and I don't know how many people are dissatisfied and resentful of them by doing this, and who knows if someone will suddenly make a move against Gan Qinglin.
Moreover, because the trade volume there is getting bigger and bigger, Li Guangyu also specially transferred Liu Haohua, executive deputy director of the examination department, Huang Chenguang, executive deputy general manager of the accounting firm, Qiu Liuqiang, first deputy director of the secret office, Liu Wenbin, deputy director of the legal department, and Fang Ruoqiang, executive vice president of Hengyu Supermarket Group, to Vienna to assist Gan Qinglin in taking charge of Eastern European affairs.
Each of these personnel, Li Guangyu, arranged an action team to be responsible for his safety, after all, it was not a peaceful place over there.
The curtain on Eastern Europe is about to open, and Li Guangyu is also waiting for the time to come, which will also be one of the important markets of the Li consortium in the future.
Some of the actions of the Donghua Trading Company have obviously affected the plans of the G7 led by the United States, and at the G7 summit to be held in Japan this year, countries will discuss issues related to the members of the Warsaw Pact, and one of them is about the Donghua Trading Company.
Li Guangyu still does not know that the problem for him is approaching, and when the time comes, in the face of the joint pressure of the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Canada, I am afraid that no matter how capable he is, he will have to choose to make concessions.
The Warsaw Pact members are currently the main enemies of the G7, and these are the seven countries with very strong global economies, and they are now also communicating with the Soviet Union, and even lending money to the Soviet Union to support the Soviet Union's drastic reforms.
However, it is true that they support Soviet reforms, and they would rather see political reforms, as well as economic reforms, but they absolutely do not want to see reforms develop in the positive side of the Soviet Union.
The threat posed to them by the USSR was too great, and the more serious the internal economic problems of the USSR, the better, so that they did not have to worry about it.
And they didn't just settle on the side of the Soviet Union, they all had a series of actions in the Warsaw Pact member countries in Eastern Europe, and the most important factor needed in this was that the local economy was getting worse and worse, and the people's lives were getting harder and harder, so that they could have a chance.
As a result, it is good now, Li Guangyu has played this trick, so that the products of these countries can be bought, and the materials they need can also be bought, and the economies of these countries have improved a lot, and the living materials are not too scarce.
After this piece of peace, they are still playing fart, even if they want to provoke internal contradictions in these areas, not many people will support it at that time.
In order for their plan that has been laid out for many years to be implemented smoothly, the G7 will never allow any strength to sabotage their plan, and if anyone jumps out and affects their plan, then they will suppress whom.
Before, the trading volume of Donghua Trading Company was relatively small, and they didn't care too much, but as a result, the transaction scale has risen sharply in the past few months this year, and they have to knock on the Li consortium.
