On this day, just in time for Duan Liyi's first birthday, under Yang Nuoting's reminder, Liu Shiqing asked her to order a table of meals in a restaurant on the campus of Yenching University, and at noon, he, Guo Qianrong and the people around them all rushed over to celebrate Duan Liyi's birthday.

In the middle of the birthday celebration, there was a knock at the door, and Chen Junwei opened the door to see a man in an Arab robe standing at the door. "Dear Liu, I'm really happy to see you again."

When Liu Shiqing heard this, he turned his head and saw that it was Prince Said of the Dubai royal family of the Kingdom of the United Arab Emirates. "Prince Said, why are you here?"

Prince Said smiled, "I am now an official, and I am the commercial counselor of the UAE Embassy in China, so I will inevitably have to deal with you a few more times in the future." ”

"That's a good thing, Prince Said, congratulations." Liu Shiqing said with a smile.

can

"Dear Liu, can we go outside to talk, I have something I want to discuss with you." Prince Said lowered his head and said mysteriously.

Liu Shiqing nodded, and followed Prince Said out of the private room, Yang Nuoting and Duan Liyi hurriedly made progress to keep up, no one had the heart to care about today's birthday banquet at this time, and they were all guessing why Prince Said appeared here.

Prince Said took Liu Shiqing out of the small restaurant, walked to a small garden nearby, sat down on a bench, and then as soon as he stretched out his hand, his bodyguard took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Prince Said. Prince Said handed it over to Liu Shiqing, "Dear Liu Shiqing, take a look at this first." ”

This is a facsimile of the text jiàn, written in both Japanese and Arabic, each with the same content, and is a request from the Japanese government to the Kingdom of the United Arab Emirates to import a strong drink from the Kingdom of the United Arab Emirates. On this letter, the Japanese government requested a large amount of imports, as high as 200 million sets a year. The price offered was $260 per set.

"Dear Liu, this is the official letter that our Kingdom of the United Arab Emirates received yesterday, and this morning, it reached my hands. As soon as I thought, I'll have to let you know, so I'll come here. Prince Said seemed very sincere at this time, "Dear Liu, what do you think about this?" ”

Liu Shiqing didn't expect the Japanese to play such a trick, repairing the plank road in the open, Chen Cang in the dark, bypassing Galaxy Industry, and trying to import strong drinks from the Kingdom of the United Arab Emirates. He hadn't really thought of that beforehand. "Prince Said, what does your country think?"

Prince Said did not hide his thoughts either, "Farewell, dear, frankly, we really want to accede to the request of the Japanese. You can make ten dollars for a group of tonic drinks. 200 million groups a year, that's two billion dollars. Although our Kingdom of the United Arab Emirates is also rich, it has not yet reached the point where it is not enough to take two billion dollars seriously. However, compared with the mere $2 billion, we attach more importance to our friendship with you, and we hope to be able to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with you and Galaxy Industrial. ”

Prince Said did this, but also thoughtful, if the Kingdom of the United Arab Emirates re-exports the strong body drinks they imported from China to Japan, it may get better profits in a short time, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, as long as the time is a little longer, it will inevitably be known by the Chinese government and even Galaxy Industry, when the time comes, if Galaxy Industry cuts off the way of export, or simply raises the price, it does not need much, it only needs to be adjusted to the same level as the United States, and the little money earned by the UAE re-export will have to be lost, maybe, I have to paste the old book inside, which can be said to be more than worth the loss.

It is based on this that Prince Said deliberately told Liu Shiqing about this matter, and he did this not only to sue Liu Shiqing that such an incident happened, but more importantly, he wanted to show favor to Liu Shiqing.

"Prince Said, thank you for coming to tell me about this, I made a note of it." Liu Shiqing folded Wen Jiàn twice, "This." Wen jiàn, put it here with me, do you have no opinion? ”

Prince Said smiled, "This Wen Jiàn, I can make a bunch of it as long as I need it, and there is no problem if you want as much as you want." Dear Liu, I won't bother you to celebrate your birthday. In the future, I will be in Yanjing, we have time, but we need to communicate more. ”

Seeing off Prince Said, Liu Shiqing re-unfolded the text, read it several times in succession, and took a sip fiercely, "***, this Japanese is always messing around, so they can't let me be idle for a while." ”

Yang Nuoting walked over, took the copy of the text from Liu Shiqing's hand, and looked at it, "Boss, deal with this move of the Japanese." The method is actually quite simple. You can get the company's headquarters to make a statement that the production set is limited, and it has reached its limit at the moment, and it is impossible to provide more strong drinks to the market. As long as this statement comes out, I can guarantee that no country will be willing to resell its imported body strengthening drinks to the Japanese. ”

"That's a way to go." Liu Shiqing nodded, and then sighed, "Er, stop this mouth." Absolutely not open. Once opened, we will suffer a great amount of money. You ask the head office to issue a statement saying that we will never allow this phenomenon to happen, and that we will stop exporting strong drinks to the country once we find out that there is an abnormal loss of strong drinks. ”

After celebrating Duan Liyi's birthday at noon, Liu Shiqing was not idle in the afternoon. Food companies from mainland China and Hong Kong, including Cheung Kong and COFCO, gathered in Yanjing to discuss the plan. Liu Shiqing, as the chairman of Galaxy Industry, was also invited to participate in this meeting. Because it was an invitation sent by Li Jiashi and Ning Lanjie together, Liu Shiqing couldn't refute their face, so he had to put down the work at hand and go to attend.

There is only one central topic of the gathering, and that is the auction to be held tomorrow in Paris. This meeting was the last consultation meeting held by domestic food companies before the auction began.

After the meeting, a number of business representatives will reach a charter flight to Paris to participate in tomorrow's auction.

Danone has made a lot of efforts to avoid bankruptcy, but so far, no company or organization has come forward to accept the mess left by Danone. Generally speaking, the assets of Danone Group are still very good, but they have been dragged down by Prometheus One and fallen into a quagmire.

ten thousand

At this time, food companies all over the world, even those multinational groups that have little to do with food companies, are also eyeing Danone. Once the auction process is entered, no matter how good Danone's assets are, they will definitely not be auctioned at a particularly good price.

The main purpose of this gathering of domestic enterprises is to discuss how to bid at the auction tomorrow, what strategy to adopt, and of course, more importantly, if the bid is successful, how to distribute the benefits after returning.

Liu Shiqing listened dizzily, his head was crooked, and he almost fell asleep several times. He has already made up his mind to set up a wholly-owned food company, and he is not very interested in bidding for Danone's assets. On the contrary, Li Jiashi, who is in his eighties, is full of energy, starting from his own experience, and constantly gives some old and unique ideas. Those present, in terms of age, are all Li Jiashi's juniors, and none of them are qualified to be compared with Li Jiashi, if you talk about business experience, many people may not even have the qualifications to give Li Jiashi shoes.

finally waited for the meeting to be over, and Liu Shiqing, who had been napping for more than an hour, was about to leave the conference room, but was stopped by Li Jiashi. "Mr. Liu, what kind of courtesy do we Huaxia people have. During the Chinese New Year, I went to your house as a guest, shouldn't you pay a return visit? ”

Liu Shiqing thought for a while, he really should visit Li Jiashi, "Mr. Li, I don't have time for the past two days, wait for next week, at most next week, I will definitely find time to visit you." Of course, the premise is that you must be in Yenching, and if you go back to Hong Kong, it will not be that I will be able to find time to visit you in the near future. ”

Li Jiashi smiled, "Okay, it's good to have a definite time zone." I will stay in Yanjing for half a month longer, and I will wait for you to come to my home as a guest, Mr. Liu. When the time comes, the two of us will have a good talk. ”

February is the last day of the month, and it is also the day when Danone publicly auctions its assets to the world. In the auction hall, Li Jiashi and Ning Lanjie, as the two leaders of the domestic enterprise alliance, stood by the phone, remotely controlling the auctioneers in Paris. Behind the two of them were a large number of staff members, and in front of them were a large number of documents, all of which were detailed information about the various assets of the Danone Group around the world that they had collected during this time. Galaxy Industry is not the majority shareholder of the enterprise alliance, but only transferred a person from the investment department as a representative, waiting for news here.

In the evening, the results of the auction came out. In addition to successfully bidding for all of Danone's assets in Greater China, the domestic alliance of food companies also auctioned off a small part of Danone's assets in the United States and Europe. The predetermined goal was basically achieved.

Two more pages of the calendar turned, and on March 2, it was Sunday. Most of the employees at the headquarters of Galaxy Industrial did not come to work, and only a few employees were working overtime. The corporate tenet of Galaxy Industrial is to discourage overtime, except in very special circumstances. In normal times, it is the company's top management who works overtime. Like Ding Chongxiang and Wang Zewei, they work overtime, and it is almost commonplace. As the top level of the company, the work pressure they are under is actually very great, especially after the year, Galaxy Industry is like gambling, and has invested more than 200 billion Chinese dollars in the European and American stock markets to buy the bottom. If the stock index rises as scheduled, it's okay to say, if it doesn't rise, Ding Chongxiang and Wang Zewei don't even want to sleep well. (To be continued)
