Chapter 475 Vertical and Horizontal

James didn't say much on the way back, and Nancy didn't care much about what Li Zhiyang and the Russian had said...

Mrs. Carnegie understood very well that after marrying James, before giving birth to Nancy, she had also run business with her husband all over the world, and she had also handled a lot of business when Nancy grew up.

However, in recent years, she has hardly done much business, but she has never had a very good impression of the Russians.

However, at present, Li Zhiyang has only shown the nature of cooperating with that Kozlov, and has not said whether he will be involved in the end, so she feels that there is no need to say much now.

Besides, if you say what you want to say, James will definitely say it for yourself when the time comes, and then she will wait and see what gets better.

As for Li's father and Li's mother, they didn't know what their son was talking to the foreigner there in a foreign language.

And they don't care at all, what Li Zhiyang is talking about, they just know that the villa now belongs to their son.

This time, they finally have the opportunity to grow their favorite flowers and vegetables on such a good land.

Thirty minutes later, the extended Lincoln slid smoothly into the parking garage of James's house, and the people got out of the car in turn.

Dad Li drank a lot in that manor, and at this time he was a little sleepy, and he planned to go to the room to rest for a while. Mrs. Carnegie and Nancy, on the other hand, were in good spirits, and they planned to wait a while and take Mama Li to make a big purchase, after all, the villa belonged to them now.

They would be able to move in tomorrow, and although Kozlov had left behind something new and some of it was good, Mrs. Carnegie still felt that there was still a lot of things in the estate that she didn't like.

Anyway, it's the era of the Great Depression, and many luxury stores in New York are also on sale, and many boutiques in Flushing Square and Fifth Avenue are now doing large-scale discount promotions.

Now it can be said that it is appropriate to go to sweep the goods, and the mother and daughter have already made up their minds to buy some household goods for the new home in a while.

And James solemnly motioned to Li Zhiyang to go to the study with him, he had something to say to Li Zhiyang.

Li Zhiyang followed James into the study, and as soon as he sat down, James motioned to the housekeeper to bring him and Li Zhiyang a glass of red wine.

"Yang, are you really interested in this Kozlov's business?"

"Yes. ”

Seeing that the old man's expression was very serious, Li Zhiyang replied very seriously.

"But you know, these Russians have always been very discredited. And the political situation in Russia doesn't seem to be so stable, especially at that new level, I haven't even heard of it. ”

James said anxiously.

"Hahaha, James, I think you're a little too worried, first of all, we're just sending some people over to investigate, and if it's really like that Kozlov said, there's a huge reserve of iron ore that is worth exploiting, then we're thinking about the next step. ”

Li Zhiyang said with a smile, it seems that he, the old man, is really afraid that he will be careless this time and make a mistake.

"What if there are mines? You know, the credibility of those Russians has never been very good. In Russia now, I always think it's too risky to do business in a place where oligarchs, and political hooligans, and mafia, where officials are flooded. ”

James said with a serious face, it is true that he has worked with the Russians a few times before, although there are times of success, but there are also many times of failure and being pitted, so he generally does not do business with the Russians now.

Doing business with them is indeed too risky.

"I've considered this micro-service, but don't worry, I have my own solution. You must know that Russia's control over the Far East is declining year by year. It can be said that Russia's political structure has basically been divided into two parts, one part is in Western Europe, where the economy is developed and the Russian government is relatively developed, close to Moscow, and the other is the East Russia zone centered on Vladivostok. ”

Li Zhiyang explained with a smile that before coming to the United States, he had the intention of building a relationship with this Kozlov, so he also specially went to find a few experts in international relations who are proficient in Russian politics and the domestic situation to have a corresponding understanding of Russia.

Now it was his turn to give James a lesson on the Russian relationship.

"And with the increase in the number of people who move from the eastern regions to the western regions every year, Russia's control over Siberia and Russia in the east can be said to have declined even more. Nowadays, many local state governments can be said to have great power. Moreover, the economy of Siberia and East Russia has always been very backward, so the local government is also very troublesome, and if the economy does not develop, then the population will flow to the economically developed areas, and the more the population is lost, the economic situation will deteriorate even more. ”

At this time, the housekeeper brought up the red wine, gave each of them a glass, and then withdrew, James also felt that what Li Zhiyang said was very reasonable, and he already vaguely understood what Li Zhiyang was talking about.

But it's still a little hard to guess, and Li Zhiyang needs to explain in detail.

"Then both the Russian government and the local state governments will definitely hope that there will be a regional economically developed region in the east or Siberia that will drive the whole local economy. And if that Kozlov is telling the truth, then this is our chance. ”

Li Zhiyang said this, James basically understood what he meant, it turned out that Li Zhiyang, this kid, was also a micro-service who had done his homework again

Listening to him say this, James also felt that what Li Zhiyang said was very reasonable, so that in the general direction, their starting point would indeed not be resisted by the Russian government.

"But what about those greedy politicians? You must know that the big and small officials in Russia are very good, and even those grassroots civil servants and police officers have a great appetite. ”

James continued, it seems that he has a deep hatred for those guys, but he has a bloody lesson

When Li Zhiyang heard this, he immediately laughed.

Jokes, are we from the country of the society? Where we came, isn't the corruption not serious, all kinds of immortals, what kind of people haven't we?

Russian guys, the corruption is terrible, are they still as good as our people? Our culture is 5,000 years old.

Since the defeat of the hundred schools of thought, the exclusive respect for Confucianism, and the sweep of Legalist ideas into the garbage pit, in the history of our Celestial Empire, there has never been a shortage of corrupt criminals

Dynasties and generations, that one did not, and now that all kinds of corruption methods have emerged one after another, and they are changing with each passing day.

If we Celestial Empire people can spend these thoughts on the right path, it is estimated that we may have caught up with the United States long ago, and we don't even know how many Nobel Prizes we can win

So those ** elements in Russia are just a piece of cake for Li Zhiyang, don't they just like money and micro-service? Then let's give him and give them a total of how much money they can give, if we can succeed in this matter, then we will earn back more than a thousand times by then

Besides, Li Zhiyang is really afraid that those Russian guys, if they don't revolve around Russia's national interests, then it will be difficult to do

Li Zhiyang weighed himself, he really didn't have the ability to fool at the elementary school level in Menxia, and he could pull so many people off the horse.

"They like money, it's a good thing, I'm afraid they don't like money, even if they don't like money, then they should always have something they like, let's not be afraid of them, to be honest, James, we should be afraid that they don't**"

Li Zhiyang said to James with a wicked smile.

As soon as James heard Li Zhiyang say this, he thought for a while, and suddenly felt a little enlightened in his head, indeed, when he was doing business in Europe and the United States before, he was in contact with some law-abiding large companies.

At best, everyone is digging into the loopholes of the law and putting some thought into tax evasion. Either you can get a few members of Congress and let them pass some bills for themselves, get some projects and so on.

They have done this kind of **, but with small fish and small shrimp, they really haven't dealt with much, Li Zhiyang said.

James suddenly had a sudden realization, indeed we should be happy with their **

"Yang, but I still have a question, that is, Kozlov also said, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is simply a barren land, will this be a problem if the development cost is at that time?"

James has to think about this aspect, Russia is not a third-world country, if you give someone a third-world migrant worker salary, that person will definitely not do it.

But if they are paid exorbitant salaries, it will not be the same thing, and the Russians, especially the Russians now, are not the Soviets of the past.

They have always been rough guys, and their work has never been very delicate, and this work attitude is also very problematic, and those guys are addicted to alcohol one by one, and it is very difficult to manage.

"Hehe, what are you afraid of, as long as you get a lot of people from the Celestial Empire, won't everything be solved, that place is far away from the emperor of the sky, and as long as the local officials receive our money, won't everything be easy?"

Li Zhiyang replied with a smile, about this, he had already thought of it, and there were not a few migrant workers in the Celestial Empire who wanted to go abroad to make a lot of money in these years.

Our Celestial Dynasty people are hard-working and well-known all over the world, and as long as the wages are in place, there will definitely be many migrant workers who will enthusiastically sign up.

With such a good opportunity to make money, how can it be cheap for those hairy and smelly polar bears

"This doesn't seem good, after all, we are working on other people's territory, if we don't hire local workers, it seems a bit unreasonable, what if the time comes, the local government and residents, if they turn their faces?"

James said with some concern.

"And there is another question, that is, we are Americans, if we Rockefeller Consortium intervenes, will it cause international disputes? You must know that the current Pu Ting is not a character to be provoked, he and we dare to meet it, and I think the current US president may not have the courage to engage in a nuclear war. ”

James went on to say that he had suffered a lot of losses on the issue of the Russians' lack of credibility.

Especially the current government in Russia, mainly the KGB-born Pu Ting, that guy does not play cards in accordance with international conventions at all, so James still has lingering feelings about him.

"Haha, I think you can rest assured James, on this issue of funding, I don't plan to contribute too much, there will definitely be someone to fund for us at that time, which is why I am so sure of this deal. ”

Li Zhiyang said with a smile.

"Oh? Why?"

James feels more and more unable to see through, his son-in-law, this guy now seems to be much more advanced than before.

"James, which country is the world's largest steel producer right now, and which country imports the most iron ore every year?"

Li Zhiyang asked with a smile.

"Of course it's your Celestial Empire, what's the matter? Do you want to pull the Celestial Empire in?"

As soon as James heard Li Zhiyang say this, his eyes suddenly lit up, right, why didn't he think of this trick?

"Haha, of course, now the Celestial Empire's aluminum company is acquiring Rio Tinto, but I estimate that it will probably not succeed, it is possible to suffer a big loss and lose the bottom. ”

Li Zhiyang said with disdain on his face, this acquisition is not likely to fail, but 100% will fail, how can a sheep lead a group of lions?

"And if Rio Tinto survives this financial winter, then what awaits the Celestial Empire Iron and Steel Enterprises will definitely be the fate of price increases, and that will be Billiton and Vale, these three are simply wearing a pair of pants. On the side of the Celestial Empire, as long as the large-scale infrastructure construction in the country does not stop for a day, then the demand for steel will not stop, and according to my estimates, the economy of the Celestial Empire, as long as it continues to develop in this way, will be at least a few years away, and it will be in an upward period of development. ”

Li Zhiyang said with a sneer, the major affairs of the Celestial Empire, the major affairs of the Celestial Empire, are really not something that a small person like him can care about, so he can only do his best to recover a little loss for the Celestial Empire, so that the people's money can be earned a little less by foreigners

As long as you handle it properly this time, then after the Celestial Empire, you will be less stuck by companies like Rio Tinto or BHP Billiton.

"That Kozlov obviously wants to pull us to his side, and now it seems that he needs us very much, James, you might as well find out the details of this guy and see what his relationship with the Russian government is? If he really needs us to support him, then we might as well get more shares of that land from him at a low price, and then go to the mining company of the Celestial Empire to raise money. In this way, as long as we convert a considerable amount of shares into the hands of the mining companies of the Celestial Empire, then the Russians will not be so wary of us, and when the time comes, they can even bring the Russian government in.

The more Li Zhiyang spoke, the more excited he became, and his voice became higher, and at this time, he said with a wave of his big hand.

James was also infected by Li Zhiyang's leakage at this time, right

When the time comes, the interests of all parties have been taken care of, and everyone's power reaches a balanced level, this is simply a matter of benefiting from several aspects.

Everyone just takes what they need, doing this kind of business, cooperating with the governments of two powerful countries, such a business, if it loses money, then it is better to go home and eat.

Even if the polar bear is greedy, once the iron ore is mixed with the shares of the Americans and the people of the Celestial Empire, I believe that no matter how tough the tsar is, he will not dare to offend the two foreign powers of the world at the same time.

"The relationship between the people of the Celestial Empire and the Russians has always been one of friend and foe, but this time the business we are doing is not oil and gas, it is iron ore, and it does not belong to the kind of resources with special strategic significance, so the vigilance of polar bears will not be so heavy. And I believe that the polar bear has long wanted to expand trade relations with the Celestial Empire, the two countries love and hate each other, but the polar bear because of the legacy left by the former Soviet Union, then it will definitely be a little stronger, but if we are inserted, the situation is delicate. If there were only enterprises in the Celestial Empire, then the polar bear might still be able to play tricks, but with us, he wouldn't even think about it, if he dared to play tricks, James wouldn't let them enter the World Trade Center at that time, even if they entered, you could kick them out. When the time comes, I believe that the oligarchs of Russia, large and small, will not make the tsar feel better. ”

Li Zhiyang swore that he had taken into account all aspects of the relationship, as long as the forces of the three parties could reach a balance, then they would be smaller than small shrimp, as long as they followed behind to pick up money.

I believe that those bigwigs will not care too much about the scum exposed between their fingers, but those wealth, for a government, may be scum, but for Li Zhiyang, it is likely to be billions or even billions of wealth every year

The number of chapters in the previous chapter on the forehead, it seems to be wrong again, and I'll let the editor change it tomorrow, sorry
