Chapter 1147 Diplomatic Issues
"Well, I don't think you can believe it, yes, I won't force you. The total amount of funds cashed out this time is less than 20 billion, of which one-third is your investment profit, everyone is a shareholder, and they have the right to dispose of their own money. If you don't want to invest with me anymore, I have already arranged that each of you has about 300 million accounts in the hands of the astronomical company, and it will transfer this money to your private account in a safe way in the near future, which is pocket money, and you can spend it as you like. I'll help you invest the rest of the money in some energy, real estate, and biopharmaceutical companies in Australia, Brazil, Germany, and Russia, all of which can be held for a long time. At present, I still have more than 5 billion left in the account of the pyramid group, this part of the money is still divided according to our original proportion, and if you want to continue to play, then count the shares, and if you want to go home for the elderly, I will pay to buy the shares. We should be friends or friends, but not partners, at least we can't join in this investment project, which is what we're doing now, and the counteroffensive plan that I'm talking about in a little more than a year. "Hong Tao doesn't want to force others to spend money to do things that others don't want to do, that's very boring, it's easy to have ghosts, and when the time comes, friends don't have to do it, and if you don't get it, you have to become an enemy because of money.
"Kuroko and I can't spend 300 million, we can't eat lobster every day, and we don't have so many women to raise, so we can't live in such a big house. Our money will roll with you, and if you lose, you will lose, and it will be better to earn. Anyway, since you gave me the first dividend, I don't feel anything about money, if it weren't for the sunspot, the loser would have to be an official. I guess I haven't spent that money yet. "What Xiao Wu said is really true, he and Kuroko are very amateurs in spending money. There was nothing to spend other than raising those brothers. Because they don't have any hobbies. It's good to fight on the street, but since the weapons provided by Hong Tao, even fighting on the street has begun to make money.
"Then don't you think about your children, leave them more?" Hong Tao really couldn't understand the thinking of people like Xiao Wu.
"Keep it, it's millions! But I can't give it to him now, let alone his mother, this woman is easy to become bad as soon as she has money. When I really kick my leg one day, they will get it, and I will learn your tricks, find a lawyer to watch it for me. It's very easy to use!" "Xiao Wu is not a fool, he really has a way back, but it is much simpler than Hong Tao's consideration. It is estimated that he has nothing to say about educating children, just like Kuroko, he is an idiot in this regard, and he can't say three words when he is with his children all day long.
"Ratz and I won't invest so much, let's transfer 500 million to Rats. We have to establish ourselves in our hometown, and the more stable we are, the more effective we will be. And it's also everyone's way out, and it's really not possible. Get on the plane and run, just like when Latz and I ran out, don't hesitate...... Alas. My father just hesitated too much, always wanting to see again, bring this, bring that. As a result, I didn't even have a chance. "Sergei thinks more long-term than Xiao Wu, and he is very similar to Hong Tao in personality. It's just that he never completely trusts others, and always wants to take his own destiny into his own hands.
"I agree, don't worry, I'll be the first to run away at that time, even if I step on Roman, I have to climb on the plane, what do you say, Uncle Roman!" Hong Tao felt that Sergei was doing this very well, it was very in line with his own philosophy, no matter whether he could really protect his own people at the time, anyway, Russia was safer than any country in the world, especially after provoking the United States.
"It's really a problem, I'm too old to outrun you, and you've kidnapped my granddaughter too, cutting off my back. But Sergei reminded me that I had already negotiated with Elisa, and when she gave birth, she would take Vanessa and your son back to her hometown in Russia, so I had to leave her some money, which was also 500 million, right? Hong Tao joked, 500 million is gone, Roman is very proud of his decision. In fact, for him, 500 million, 1 billion is useless, his own money can't be spent, Eliza and Vanessa have found such a backer as Hong Tao, if he can get an extra insurance for his granddaughter, it should be the best result.
"I'll take a look, Singh is good here, I'm still 60%, Sergei and Ratz are 14%, Xiao Wu and Heizi are 12%, Roman is 10%, then there are still 14% vacancies, no one wants it, right? Okay, I'll pay for it myself, but this share is not mine, it's Lily, Lada, Singh, Belliway, Melinda, Ouyang Qing, and they belong to 6 people. My other children have their own fund guarantees, and I'm not going to involve them in this because it's risky. Since everyone is willing to take risks with me, they have to have a harvest, and 2% of each person's shares should be regarded as my risk compensation for everyone, which everyone deserves. Keep the remaining 2% for now, maybe someone will join our core in the future, and we'll talk about it later!" Hong Tao felt that it was very unfair to let Lily and her take risks with her, but they could only be treated the same as other women, so it was an encouragement to pay for a part of the shares to give them.
"It's your own business, you can handle it however you want. In the past few months, many locals have come from the interior to find some work here, but some of them can't even speak English, let alone read, and there is no more work for them on the construction site, so you can't let your church keep them up, right?" Roman ended the topic of share distribution and began to talk about his union difficulties. Strikes can't be done all the time, because that would make the workers lazy, but it's also a problem that more and more people are joining the unions, and the unions can't get enough jobs for them.
"This is a good thing, it shows that our influence has begun to spread, the solution can only be tried first, none of us have done such a big layout, just practice our basic skills in managing the country. I think so, these projects alone can't solve the long-term employment problem of many people, and we have to think of other ways. In fact, agriculture is the industry that is most likely to occupy labor, but unfortunately we are not deeply rooted now, and we cannot touch the land, which is too sensitive. But we can start from the ocean, where the fishery resources are abundant, but the fishing methods are very backward, and instead of letting foreign companies catch the fish here for nothing, it is better to let the people here do it themselves. A fishery export company was set up and fishing boats were used as interest-free loans to locals to go fishing. Then the fishing company buys the fish at a set price, and then sets up a primary processing plant, processes and freezes the fish, and then exports it to China, no matter how much it costs, it is a little cheaper than other countries. In this way, we are not spending money to support the locals, but providing them with jobs, and if the cost is well controlled, we may not lose money. Hong Tao dragged his cheeks and pondered for a while, and came up with a solution that he thought was relatively simple.
"Why do you have to export to China? The distance is long, and the shipping cost will increase a lot, so why not export directly to the United States or nearby countries?" Lily asked.
"The U.S. has a well-developed fishing industry, and the competition is too fierce. This competition is not a matter of price, those fishermen's unions are not easy to mess with, if you smash their jobs, they can get the government to sue us for dumping, not only will they not buy our goods, but they will also have to be fined! The same is true of the surrounding countries, everyone will protect their own industry. Because of this little thing, it is not worth offending the surrounding countries. We were supposed to spend money instead of making money, and we were just figuring out how to spend it more efficiently. Hong Tao answered Lily's question, thinking only about economic issues, but not about politics.
"There won't be an anti-dumping problem when exporting to China?" Lily still didn't understand.
"China's fishing industry is also very developed, but the population is too large, more than six times that of the United States, and the market demand is very large. Moreover, fish resources in China's coastal waters are scarce, and the cost of distant-water fishing is very high, which cannot fully meet the needs of the domestic market. Not only will we not be disgusted, but what is needed there, as long as the price is right and the hygiene meets the requirements, I have the ability to make this deal, don't forget, I am Chinese myself. Hong Tao explained to Lily while going through his own thoughts, and felt more and more that this thing could be done.
"Hong, you forgot one thing, the Belize government has established diplomatic relations with Wanwan, and there is no diplomatic relationship with China, so it shouldn't be so easy to sell fish to China, right?" Sergei is not very good at doing business, but he is more sensitive to the international situation, and Hong Tao was stunned by one sentence.
"Damn! I forgot about it...... Yes, this is a big problem, I also wanted to sell Belizean timber to China, the mahogany produced here is a very good wood in China, used to make high-end furniture, very expensive, but also very good. In addition, wood processing is also a labor-intensive industry, with no technical barriers, which is very suitable for the low-wage population here. But it's really a big problem for you to say that!" Hong Tao clicked his lips, and finally admitted that Sergei was on the point this time, and if this problem is not solved, China will not import a stitch from Belize, this is the principle, not to mention Wang Feng, even Wang Feng and his grandfather are useless.
