721 Communication of needs and needs
After a night's rest, early in the morning, and once again enjoying the host's hospitality in Macridge's estate, the group finally began to sit down and chat.
In addition to the few people I saw last night, I also met all the bigwigs of Glencore, such as the heads of copper trade, iron trade, and grain trade, all of whom are partners in the company and hold most of Glencore's shares.
Similarly, after some small talk, Li Feng also had a rough guess, Macridge and his original partner Green, the two of them have a lot of say in Glencore, in addition to these people are brought out by the two, and even the two of Glencore still hold a lot of shares, that is, these shares are hidden, Li Feng has a guess from the beginning.
Although Macridge has now completely separated from Glencore on the surface, it owns dozens of companies in Zug, Switzerland, several trading companies in public, and the rest of the companies are hidden by various methods such as cross-shareholding and a large number of offshore companies.
These little-known companies may have annual revenues of tens of billions, and even these companies secretly hold shares in many commodity trading giants such as Glencore and Vitol.
If Li Feng really wants to insert it into Glencore, he must investigate it well, otherwise he won't be sold by others and help others count the money. Naturally, if you can really get together with these bigwigs, it will be bright both in terms of influence and money.
"John, we're curious, how did you think of getting involved in commodity trade?" After some pleasantries, Macridge asked Li Feng curiously.
"Haha... Mark, I think you should know that I have an energy company, and in the same way, I set up a resource company, but unfortunately, most of the world's energy resources are owned today, and it is not easy for me to get in, and Glencore seems to me to be a good partner to work with.
As far as I know, Glencore has now begun to meddle in the upstream chain of minerals such as energy resources, acquiring some mineral resources, etc., and I am very optimistic about this, after all, we all know that these are non-renewable resources, and use a little less.
Of course, if we purely talk about the ability to make money, I think we all know that the high-tech industry is the most profitable, such as today's Internet industry, computer software and hardware industry, etc., but I have always maintained a principle, not to put the plate in one basket.
Besides, making money is not my only purpose anymore, sometimes money doesn't mean everything, does it?" Li Feng explained with a smile.
......
In fact, these explanations are clear to everyone, after all, the profits of Li Feng's high-tech companies are very rich, while the profits of commodity trading companies are much inferior.
Obviously, Li Feng's involvement in it is not for profit, but for its intangible influence, after all, it involves the energy and mineral industries, which can involve the national strategies of countries around the world, and the potential influence is huge.
"We've heard that your team is still negotiating with Bunge, John, don't you worry about the stall going too big?"
"Haha... I'm not worried, in fact, anyone who knows me knows that as long as everyone can work together, I'll be the best investor shareholder, and of course, if anyone thinks I can fiddle around, maybe I'll talk to him. ”
"Hehe... If you St. John Lee can fiddle with it at will, then anyone in this world can fiddle with it at will, and I think anyone will be careful to cooperate with you. ”
"Mark, as long as we are sincere, I am the best partner, this has been proven by a lot of reality, I think you should all know about my major companies, those managers are not so much part-time workers, now they are all shareholders of the company, they have enough rights and obligations.
Of course, the world is now facing a rare feast of economic transformation, and a new economic model with computers and the Internet as the core is taking shape, and my partners and I are looking forward to it. ”
"Well, the new economy, to be honest, we laymen are full of interest, after all, no one can refuse the temptation of dollars, can we?"
"Haha..."
“...”
Li Feng's meaning is very clear, if I enter Glencore, you are generally in management, as long as you don't think that I am a newcomer and easy to bully, if this is the case, maybe you have to say it well.
It also shows the support for Glencore's business strategy today, which is now starting to get involved in upstream energy and resources, becoming not just a simple trader, but a supplier-and-trader model.
Macridge also hinted that you St. John Lee are not ordinary people, you are a fool, they will not try to deceive you, if you cooperate is absolutely sincere.
Naturally, if they cooperate, as the best partners, they will naturally be able to share various dividends with each other, such as Li Feng threw out the Internet dividend, etc., and Macridge and they have also expressed their interest in it, after all, this is directly equivalent to 'penny' to others, and they are naturally happy to accept it.
......
At least judging from the current exchanges, both sides have shown their sincerity, as for the final result, no one knows for the time being, after all, if you really want to cooperate, this is not a simple chat that can be decided immediately.
In fact, this meeting, the two sides are just showing their attitudes, at least from the current point of view, it is not bad, Macridge and Glencore they need Li Feng's influence in the United States, help Macrich and Glencore, Bimacrich and Glencore are on the blacklist of the United States, after all, the United States is the only superpower in the world today, and Li Feng also needs the influence of international trade giants like Glencore, it can be said that both sides are happy.
At least there was a good start, but then I didn't talk about the details, and began to really talk casually, from politics to economics to ups and downs, from Africa to the Middle East to Europe, America and even Asia, the casual chatting made Li Feng also eye-opening.
To be honest, in terms of the true understanding of the world, Li Feng must admit that he is far from being as good as these commodity trading giants, after all, the other party they cooperate with are those giants of various countries and countries, and there are too many of them.
Li Feng is now well-informed, but he was still surprised by the many secret things they said, and he could only make Li Feng sigh that compared to those private and dark things, he is really a little white sheep.
In fact, if Li Feng really wants to participate in his own career, he may have already been blackened, whether it is Michelle Energy Company, a real estate company, or a military giant and the lawyer industry, etc., these industries are deeply involved in the intertwining of various interests after all, if you really participate, it is estimated that the whole person will have been blackened a long time ago.
However, Li Feng chose to leave it to professionals to do, which is still a very good choice. Although facing the test of loyalty of the so-called professionals in all aspects, when Li Feng's intelligence agencies, financial audit agencies, and even personal security protection agencies were fully involved, these professionals gave Li Feng full protection.
After all, there is mutual supervision everywhere in your personal life, since you can enjoy a good life, then you don't need to ask for trouble, most people still understand the truth, of course, there are always people who will not be satisfied, but most of these people have no good results.
Li Feng now reads the reports sent by major companies every day and makes some predictive instructions that are in line with the historical trend, which not only ensures that he is wise and forward-looking, but also keeps away from the dark side of those events.
......
Over the next two days, Li Feng spent a few days in Zug, visiting the famous Glencore Company and learning how commodity trading giants like Glencore control the global commodity trade.
In the same way, it can be regarded as a vacation for myself, visiting the famous Swiss resort area of Lake Lucerne and the Titlis Snow Mountain for a while, and the idea of buying a mansion estate on the shore of Lake Lucerne has arisen, and he laughingly wants to be a neighbor with Ritchie.
