Chapter 351: A City Dream That Belongs Completely to Itself

"Naturally, it was the transportation trade that was done together, and I am not a fool if I have such convenient conditions not to apply." Su understood the other party, there is no reason not to take care of his own business, why the company can develop, and can resist various economic risks, the most fundamental reason is that he is backed by a consortium, everyone fights together when it is difficult, and everyone makes money together.

For example, the Mitsubishi Consortium has placed large orders with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' shipping division, while Mitsubishi Electric has provided various mechanical and electrical products for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' business, and Mitsubishi Steel, Mitsubishi Copper, Mitsubishi Aluminum, and Mitsubishi Materials have provided reliable raw materials. Companies such as Mitsubishi Bank and Tokio Marine provide loans and special insurance services. Nikon's optical products, Mitsubishi Resin's new materials, etc., each product and business is the crystallization of the consortium's cooperation, through which each company has developed its own business according to its needs, and each subsidiary is an indispensable part of the consortium, of which Mitsubishi Corporation is their coordinating body.

This form of cooperation is good to resist risks, but the disadvantage is also that it is necessary to coordinate their own interests, and after the profits are evenly shared, their profit margins are not high, once an industry enters a downturn, it is easy to drag down related industries.

The development of the Korean consortium is another form, each consortium is an octopus development, using capital advantages to enter all the businesses that can be seen, there are hundreds of subsidiaries under a consortium, in addition to bringing chaos in management, but also bringing the main business is unclear, as long as it is a profitable business, you have to intervene, this is the status quo of all Korean consortiums.

South Korea's consortium also has a characteristic of over-debt management, using a large number of state loans for industrial expansion, once encountering financial turmoil, the damage to the economy is particularly serious, like the current financial crisis, South Korea's enterprises have suffered the most heavy losses, the main reason is that most of the consortium's liabilities are more than several times their own assets.

Like the Samsung consortium, which claims to produce everything from "toilet paper to the space shuttle", claiming that any Korean cannot do without Samsung from birth to death, but the debt ratio is more than 250 percent, and he is not the highest, the highest is the LG consortium, with a debt ratio of more than 300 percent.

In Europe and the United States and other countries, the consortium has been completely secluded behind the scenes, and even through the professional manager system, it does not interfere in the operation of the usual business at all, and the development of the company has also changed to specialization and focus, and does not pursue a large and complete business, and can subcontract out the business as much as possible, only in terms of technology and standards for control.

Although the current Su family is not enough to be called a consortium in terms of scale, it has a prototype of a consortium in business and operation, and in terms of group management, Su Ming adheres to the model of European and American companies, and tries to replace its own management with professional managers, and at the same time implements the concept of "cash is king" in the company's operation, and does not carry out rapid debt-based development, and the expansion must be under the premise of stability.

Under this kind of business thinking, Su's development is very steady, and even if there is a loss, billions of dollars in cash can be afforded, Su's does not interfere in all the business, especially the business that has been handed over, and the major events are always decided by the decision-maker meeting, although everyone's opinion is not necessarily the most right, but it will not be the most wrong, emotions or hatred may blind a person's eyes, but always can not blind everyone's eyes.

And Su Ming always goes to open up new business or new territory, and the task of defending is handed over to others, just like a striker, rushing to the camp in front, and the people in the back clean up the battlefield, counting the harvest, and stabilizing the territory.

When I came to Africa like this, I was just here to track down my own products and missing people, but I didn't expect that in the end, I would get such a large industry in Namibia, and it happened that Pakistan had basically entered the formality, and Su Ming had no influence when he was not there, and he just wanted to concentrate on developing here.

If Pakistan is still a semi-civilized region, Africa is a completely uncivilized area, and even the basic conditions for industrial development can not be met.

Moreover, the African continent contains a large number of untapped mineral deposits, which is an indispensable raw material base for the development of industrialization, and the huge population here is also a large-scale market, although this market is still unexplored, but with the development of society, it will become rich sooner or later, although some forces or organizations may obstruct it.

And China is beginning to industrialize, the two necessary conditions for the development of industrialization raw materials and markets, Africa has it, there are almost all the resources in the world, there is also a large population, and there is no industry itself, it is just a sales market for low-end products, but now Africa is still a bit too early to talk about the market, based on the future, layout in advance.

Su Ming also got a piece of news from the Namibian incident, that is, he also began to plan on the African continent very early, because it was no longer possible for Europe and the United States to intervene, and Asia needed to face competition from China, and he also lacked resources and markets, so he had already made up his mind to start laying out on the African continent while the attention of Europe and the United States and other countries was temporarily focused on the Middle East.

And in order not to attract the attention of other countries or forces, I always act in the name of China or other Southeast Asian countries for a long time, and in the past few years, great progress has been made, and it has not attracted the attention of other countries, it is not Namibia This matter has exposed them, and no one really thought of this, after Su Ming learned the news, he handed over this information to China, Russia, Britain, Germany and other countries, so that they could be vigilant against his actions and suppress his development in Africa.

After inspecting for a period of time and collecting relevant information, Su Ming is still relatively satisfied with this region of southern Africa, there is no regional surname power, South Africa is only very strong compared to the surrounding countries, but it is too much worse in the world, and these countries are not deeply involved with other big national forces, and the development here will not be subject to strong resistance.

Moreover, the political situation in these countries is relatively stable, although there are still reactionary armed forces in Angola, but it has just been almost attacked by the Antai company, although the products are not particularly rich, but they are not like the countries of North Africa or Central Africa will starve to death, and the problem of managing people's food is the most troublesome, if there is a large number of hunger problems, it is impossible to talk about what to develop.

Su Ming decided to develop here, naturally to maintain a certain degree of self-protection of the force, can sign defense contracts with these countries, let them spend money to arm themselves, Su Ming will not be satisfied, and there is an agreement signed with Namibia, a stable foothold, Pakistan is not so solid, otherwise Su Ming would not have to bother to support that Musharraf, although this guy is progressing very fast, it is said that he has to mention the chief of staff of the army.

It's better to be here, the land here is permanently owned by yourself, no matter at any time, unless there is an agrarian revolution here and the land is nationalized, Su Ming doesn't want to do GC here, or the current system is good, whoever is is whom.

Su Ming is ready to develop well here, build a city that completely belongs to him, has all the functions of the city, everything in the city, including people (subordinates), belongs to himself (work for himself), and he can appoint the mayor of the city hall, and he can make all kinds of laws in the city as he likes, a very grand ideal has only recently emerged, but this is not a matter of a few years, you have to take your time, and there is not even a decent residence at present.

Su Ming hadn't told anyone about this dream, but after drinking some wine, when he and Zhang Wei were sitting under a big tree by the lake, Su Ming suddenly wanted to confide in the other party, and after listening to Su Ming's introduction, Zhang Wei's eyes widened, and he didn't know how to describe Su Ming's ambition.

There are castles, villas, and even small islands that belong to a person, but I have never heard of a person owning a city, and according to Su Ming's description, this city is not as big as Anjing Longjiang, at least it is the size of a provincial-level city.

Not to mention financial resources or anything, a city must at least have sufficient manpower support, otherwise it will become a ghost town with no one, but in this place in Namibia, there are only 2 million people in the country, which is barely enough for the requirements of a medium-sized city.

"You don't believe it?" Su Ming turned his head to look at him, his eyes were full of unwavering confidence, Zhang Wei sighed, although he did not believe it, but the repeated miracles in front of him were simply to break the suspicions of others, what Su was like before Zhang Wei did not know very well, but from manufacturing CNC machine tools that were strictly blocked by the international community, to taking out the engine with the surname Neng, and then to the birth of Thor, all these have been completed in more than two years, which makes people wonder if he is talented. Thinking of this, Zhang Wei nodded: "I believe it!" ”
