Chapter 41: A Huge Deal
Magic City, French Concession, Great World Realm Club. SC Trading invites a large number of celebrities from all walks of life to hold gatherings here.
The well-dressed gentlemen from all over the world gathered in their own small circles with wine glasses in twos and threes, and they were envious and jealous of people from all walks of life in the famous SC trade in the magic capital.
The SC trade, which sells sulfonamides like flour, makes businessmen from all over the world make a lot of money, and businessmen from all over the world chase SC trade like industrious bees, and the local people are also very proud of the sudden emergence of such a powerful company in a poor and backward country.
Except, of course, the Japanese. Gao Yang's identity has long been known from all walks of life, and the Japanese who have wanted to do it to Gao Yang many times have also been forced to make concessions under the huge pressure of various countries!
In the center of the venue, the owner of the Kailo company, Carl Brown. DeLay was having a cordial conversation with Gao Feng, the president of SC Trading Company. "Mr. Delay, bargaining is a must when doing business, but the price you ask for is no longer a business, I suggest you take a shotgun and go to the bank, that the money will come faster."
Di Lai took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Mr. President, don't you have an old saying in China called asking for a sky-high price, and paying back the money on the ground?" We can continue to talk until we reach a price that we can all accept. ”
Gao Feng put the wine glass in his hand aside, lit a cigarette and smoked it alone, and only when Mr. Leddy was a little embarrassed did he smile and say to him: "Mr. Leddy, I know that your company is the only radio station in the magic capital now, but if you regard this as a capital that can be overpriced, it is a big mistake!" ”
"My boss told me that we can not care about money, but we must not be taken for fools!" That's the price, and if you don't accept it then SC Trade will start a radio station of its own! Trust me, that's what you don't want to see. ”
Eventually, Mr. Leddy agreed to sell his company to SC Trading at the price offered by Gao Feng. It was a win-win, with Mr. Leddy getting double the return on his investment, and Gao Yang getting the ability to control public opinion.
After that, Gao Feng successively visited many journalists such as Declaration, Modu Daily, Fenbao, and Shilu Pictorial to explore the possibility of acquisition, and the premise is that the price is negotiable. Gao Yang's main goal in the next stage is to control the magic capital! Before that, Gao Yang was going to control the public opinion circle of the Demon Capital first.
The buzzing conversation of the people in the venue was drowned out by a burst of clear music, the lights gradually dimmed, and the stage show was ready to begin!
The host took the stage to introduce the dance tap dance that had recently arrived from the United States, and thanked SC Trading Company for its full sponsorship of the dance company, from costumes to theater. Gao Feng smiled reservedly and applauded slightly.
At the beginning of the performance, six young girls stood in the center of the stage and drove the changing beat under their feet with their dexterous legs, and in the center of the floor, their feet jumped with a warm sound, which dazzled and amazed everyone in the audience.
Everyone at the venue felt that only dance was the only thing that could be undisguised at this moment, and slowly, everyone seemed to melt into the dancers' dance steps, and their emotions also rippled with the "tap and tap", reaching the inner space. A restless heart will suddenly stand still in the center of the stage as if it were the climax of a dance.
The audience was boiling when the girls on the stage raised their thighs wrapped in nylon stockings, and everyone was talking about this novel dance and the nylon stockings that the girls were wearing, and at the end of the session, SC Trade presented nylon stockings to all the attendees.
The next day, newspapers and radio stations throughout the city were introducing the novel dance and the nylon stockings worn by the performers, along with advertisements for SC Trading Company! Six girls became famous overnight.
Soon, this new fashion trend blew from the magic capital to the whole world, and the speed of popularity made everyone stunned.
In the U.S. and across Europe, girls all over the world want to own a pair of nylon stockings, while their husbands and boyfriends rush into every mall waving money and shouting "I want to buy stockings!" "The huge market demand made countless businessmen flock to SC Trading Company with red eyes and waving checks. Gao Feng, president of SC Trading, gave a unit price of $98 a pair! Wholesale is not discounted! This time it is possible to collect dollars and pounds.
Tens of millions of pairs of stockings have come to every bustling city in the world with the merchant ships of various countries, and they are immediately snapped up by the girls who can't wait!
In a short period of time, it brought a huge amount of income to Gaoyang, and the amount was so large that the Citibank branch in Modu asked the U.S. Consulate to send troops to protect it! This amount of money is enough to support Gaoyang's various constructions!
Simply making money doesn't make sense for Gao Yang, having a bunch of banknotes doesn't help the country in any way, only exchanging it for all sorts of much-needed items is an important thing.
Moreover, simply exporting for money will only attract crazy suppression from importing countries! Gaoyang needs to maintain a balance between imports and exports.
Buy everything from the United States in large quantities, from tractors to trucks, from freighters to excavators, from flour to beef in Koyang. At its peak, the import and export volume was as high as 100 million US dollars a month!
He also quickly became the object of the most attention of the U.S. government, and when Consul John visited Gao Yang, he said that in order to maintain a good cooperative relationship with Gao Yang, the U.S. government could give Gao Yang "any help needed!" within the scope of allowability. At the same time, it also blocks the strong pressure from Britain and France for Gao Yang!
In the words of Consul John, "The United States of America will not hesitate to fight in order to preserve free trade between the two sides!" "In addition to buying arms from Germany, all of Gao Yang's money is used to buy things in the United States, and of course Britain and France and other countries are angry about this huge trade!
Consul John also revealed to Gao Yang that just three days ago, the US Asian Fleet stationed in Krabi had a serious confrontation with the British Far East Fleet departing from Hong Kong near the Taiwan Strait! The British are here to put pressure on you.
Sitting on a comfortable leather sofa, Gao Yang listened with a smile as Consul John bragged about how brave the boys of the Asian Fleet were, and drove the British back to Hong Kong. Taking a sip of coffee, Gao Yang smiled and said to Consul John, "Thank you for everything your government has done, and in order to show my gratitude, I have decided to double the crude oil import quota for next month." ”
Consul John was overjoyed, since entering the 20s, due to the emergence and application of a series of geophysical exploration techniques such as gravity method, electric method, magnetic method, seismic refraction, seismic reflection, etc., the United States has entered an era of great oil and gas discoveries.
After 1921, large oil fields such as Signa Mountain, Huntington Beach, and Santa Fe Springs were discovered in California, and in 1924, the Oklahoma City oil field was discovered. Since 1922, the United States has discovered more than 1 billion barrels of new recoverable oil reserves every year. Correspondingly, annual oil production in the United States, which was 557 million barrels in 1922, soared to 732 million barrels in 1923 and reached 1 billion barrels in 1924!
In 1925, the entire United States consumed less than half of its production! The huge production has caused the price to fall all the way, and the oil purchased by Gaoyang includes the freight at about $2 per barrel, which is a huge amount of moisture!
The current price of oil in the United States is around $1.5 per barrel. Gao Yang imported 1.3 million barrels of crude oil from Mobil last month, and if it doubled again, it would be 2.6 million barrels, more than 30 million barrels a year!
Gao Yang is now the most valued customer of Mobil, and the US government has made great efforts to send an Asian fleet to intercept the British! Gao Yang just reciprocated, he needed it anyway.
Consul John happily went back to report the good news, and Gao Yang also started time and space travel back to modern time and space to send a text message to Zheng Xiujing.
"I'll see you in Korea tomorrow." Zheng Xiujing, who had been discharged from the hospital to recuperate at home, received a text message from Gao Yang, and quickly replied with a message of "ice cream!" ”
"Hehe, I'll buy that store and give it to you." Gao Yang's text message made Zheng Xiujing stunned. I have deliberately forgotten that Gao Yang seems to be very, very rich!
After waiting for half a ring, he didn't receive a reply, and Gao Yang sent another message: "What's wrong?" Are you thinking about living in a fridge full of ice cream in the future? ”
"Ha Lu Ha" Zheng Xiujing, who was still entangled, saw the text message, and couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the described scene. After laughing, he gently bit his lip and replied to Gao Yang, "OPPA, your gift is too valuable, I can't accept it." The last time OPAA bought a supper, it was very good, but unfortunately it was eaten up by my sisters. "The text message also has a cute emoji attached to the end.
Gao Yang looked at the text message, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he dialed it directly. Zheng Xiujing, who was anxiously waiting for a reply, was startled by the ringtone of her mobile phone, hesitated for a moment and pressed the answer button.
"Don't like ice cream anymore?" There was a hint of ridicule in Gao Yang's words.
"OPPA, the ice cream is delicious, but the western restaurant can't accept it, it's too expensive." Zheng Xiujing said softly.
"Is it valuable? For me, it's just a matter of plucking the roots. Gao Yang said with a smile.
"Ha Luha," Zheng Xiujing covered her mouth and said with a smile, "OPPA, are you some kind of giant?" Cold hair is so thick? ”
"Eun, I've got it, I'll buy you my favorite mango ice cream, rest well, and see you tomorrow." Gao Yang said softly comfortingly.
"Well, thank you, thank you, OPPA." Hanging up the phone, Zheng Xiujing leaned on the bed with her eyes blank, not knowing what she was thinking.
Gao Yang arrived in Seoul in the afternoon to attend the steel acceptance ceremony for the construction of the Yangtze River Bridge, and then went to the high-end conference room on the top floor of the Shilla Hotel, accompanied by President Hyundai Steel Kim.
When I entered the conference room, I found that someone had been waiting inside for a long time. President Kim introduced Gao Yang one by one, and representatives from the seven major Korean consortia were all dispatched, and Kim Jong-hoon, director of the Trade Negotiation Headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade of the Republic of Korea, was also present.
The talks originated some time ago when Goyang asked for oil as payment for an order from Hyundai Steel.
In the more than half a century since the implementation of South Korea's industrialization strategy in the early 60s of the 20th century, South Korea's economy has grown rapidly, which has been accompanied by a sharp increase in energy consumption. But South Korea produces hardly a drop of oil and is the world's fourth-largest oil importer, with nearly 1 billion barrels of oil consumed annually!
South Korea's economic structure is very fragile in responding to changes in international energy prices, and as long as the average annual international oil price exceeds $95 per barrel, South Korea's current account balance will immediately go into deficit.
Therefore, the wind and grass of crude oil prices in the international market will make the South Korean government tremble. In some years, South Korea spends more on energy imports than on military defense.
Successive South Korean governments have focused on improving energy self-sufficiency and ensuring stable energy imports from abroad as important matters related to the survival of the economy, and have always carried out the task of enhancing the ability to cope with the energy crisis in foreign trade and foreign policy.
The theme of today's meeting is clear, for the oil of Goyang.
