Chapter 940: Eurasia
Adapting to the times is always the most effective way to invest, and it is an indisputable fact that although the economy of the United States has maintained good economic development on a global scale, the international status of the lighthouse country is declining day by day.
Although the EU has been devastated several times by the lighthouse state, it is becoming more and more important and independent as an independent regional economic entity. Although China's development has many unsolved problems and is likely to fall into the trap of middle-income countries, it will almost certainly become the world's largest consumer market. Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia also have a good economic foundation, and India has begun to recover......
A pluralistic and multipolar world is taking shape, and it is likely that China will lead this change, and a striking symptom is the emergence of the "One Belt, One Road". In March of this year, the Asian Foundation... The establishment of the investment bank represents the beginning of the Chinese imperial court to go abroad. It is not the traditional military that is the vanguard, but the economic entity.
The Belt and Road is divided into two routes, the Eurasian Land Bridge, China-Mongolia-Russia, China-Central Asia-West Asia, China's Indochina Peninsula and other international economic cooperation corridors. That is, a wide range of transport routes from Southeast Asia, South Asia, West Asia, the Mediterranean Sea to the coastal areas of Africa and Europe.
The Belt and Road Initiative is the country's top-level strategy and the choice of the country whose economy and military development have reached a certain level. Only history can judge the final results, and at least for the time being, it is a very good strategic decision. It conforms to the general trend of declining American power. Although it will be subject to many difficulties from the lighthouse country because of this, even if Huaxia does not do this, the lighthouse country will still have conflicts with Huaxia under the influence of its own internal problems. This really can't be solved by changing the president of a lighthouse country.
The imperial court is still developing with the help of the general trend, not to mention Zhou Shi, he asked Galaxy Sixiang to acquire TNT Express Company, which has such a purpose. The direction of China's development is to develop from east to west, along the Eurasian continent, rather than to compete directly with the lighthouse countries in the Americas. Even Japan, South Korea and Australia in the Asia-Pacific region were put down because of this.
The acquisition of TNT along the Eurasian continent to build a relatively complete logistics express transportation channel from China to Europe, which he can do. It makes sense!
And now, Galaxy Sixiang has basically completed the acquisition of TNT.
"FedEx also joined the race after we started the negotiations. However, after learning about TNT's financial situation, they had some hesitation...... "Zhu Yunlai, TNT's loss has widened from 83 million euros in 2012 to 195 million euros in 2014.
"At this time, we are committed to investing one billion euros per year to promote TNT for three consecutive years after the completion of the acquisition...... Zhu Yunlai
In addition to having the world's best European road transport network, TNT also has a mature land transport network in the Middle East, Asia Pacific, Australia, South America and other countries and regions. In Southeast Asia, for example, TNT successfully integrated the road transport network between China and Southeast Asia as early as 2011. It's almost a perfect blend with the Belt and Road. It is the preferred enterprise of Zhou Shi and their group. If you can't, you'll have to do it yourself.
"We finally completed the acquisition of TNT at a cost of $5.5 billion, and we only need to pass the review of the relevant departments before we can officially announce the ...... to the public," Zhu Yunlai
"So we've taken a firm step?" Zhou Shi
"That's right, we have made our own contribution to the Belt and Road!" Zhu Yunlai
"How is the situation in Greece?" Zhou Shi, the four elephants of the galaxy chose the Maritime Silk Road, and there are many important ports on this road, and the port of Piraeus, the largest port in Greece, is one of the more important nodes. In 2009, China COSCO was ready to buy a 67 percent stake in the port, and it has invested billions of euros in it. But boiling public opinion in Greece or something else took a turn for the worse at the beginning of the year, when the Greek court vetoed the deal.
Since the end of last year, the Greek economy has been in crisis and is about to go bankrupt. Forget it, don't talk about this, anyway, here is a piece of chicken feathers. However, the more turbulent the place, the more you can enjoy excess returns, and the four elephants of the galaxy have long been entered and want to intervene. Of course, this is not Zhou Shi's concern, what he cares about is that the entire node and their strategic layout should not go wrong. The focus is on the benefits of a decade from now, not the short-term gains of now.
How to establish a chaebol, although Zhou Shi did not think about it carefully, he hired so many secretaries and assistant consultants just to worry about these things for him.
There are many problems on the side of the lighthouse countries, and the Eurasian continent is the world's largest consumer market, which should become the center of the world, but various problems of nationality and religion in population countries limit development. However, the emergence of the Internet and the popularization of various knowledge in social networks and self-media will always break this barrier. Although Huaxia's external expansion is still in its infancy, there are still many Zhou Shi used, and the two sides are happy to take what they need!
Taking advantage of the change of the controlling stake of Time, the first step is to transfer the funds from the Chinese mainland and the lighthouse country to the offshore center and to the Eurasian continent; the second step is to open up the Maritime Silk Road of the four elephants, and the third step is to take this opportunity to build its own power foundation in the European Union, India, and Alaba. The fourth step and beyond development could be Africa, South America, or the starry sea, who knows?
The role of logistics express is not only to gain an in-depth understanding of the transportation routes of a country and region, but also to gain an in-depth understanding of the real environment of a country. In other words, the more digital logistics companies have, the more information they collect, and the more they understand the world. There is no logistics company in Huaxia that has a network covering the whole world, so does Huaxia need to go out?
"Our next plan is to acquire Best Express, do you want to talk to Zhou Shaoning...... "Zhu Yunlai."
Best's Zhou Shaoning used to be a senior executive of Google Huaxia, but later chose to leave because he couldn't beat Baidu and some internal problems within the company, established Best Network, and acquired Huitong Express in 2010 with the support of venture capital companies such as Qinglong Fund. This person who understands both technology and logistics express delivery has become the first choice after Galaxy Sixiang acquired TNT. TNT's logistics subsidiary in Huaxia also needs to be reorganized because of poor development.
"Is it necessary?" Zhou Shi had a conflict with Zhou Shaoning in 2008, although he got Zhou Shaoning's understanding because of the reason. But the two sides have never had a formal communication since then, which shows that the other party is still very unhappy with him.
"......" Zhu Yunlai
"If he wants, we can talk about ......," Zhou Shi finally added
