Chapter 1468 It's Time to Make Money
After nearly four months of closed Cold War with the United States, Meigang finally came to naught with Yu Xin's one-sided agreement.
The two sides did not make friends, but each made a deal.
European and American countries want to achieve cross-border trade with ASEAN, China, Russia and the Arab region, and their shipping orders are all included in the Meigang territory, and the strategic agreement is signed for 20 years.
At the same time, the circulation of US dollars and goods from Europe and the United States officially resumed in Meigang, and major banks under the US side began to gradually recognize the existence of Meihong Kong dollars and opened normal exchanges.
At this point, both businessmen, tourists, and citizens in Mae Hong Kong, as well as businessmen, tourists, and citizens in the United States, breathed a sigh of relief.
Four months.
Meigang suffered heavy losses, and the price in exchange was the helplessness of businessmen in the United States.
The snake bites the elephant's leg, and each has its own discomfort.
The US side made a compromise this time because Meigang seized the opportunity of the future.
In just half a month, almost 85% of the "retail investors" around the sea area were brought under the command of the Blue Whale Shipping Company.
It was at this moment that the world's largest "logistics company" was born.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the sun was just right.
The Supreme Consulate's Office of Mae Hong Kong, inside the office.
The floor-to-ceiling windows are clean and bright, and the wooden floors are cleanly wiped and spotless.
Jiang Yang was rarely idle, sitting on the sofa and drinking tea.
Bai Chengen, Li Yan, Yu Xin and others sat on the side, carefully looking at the documents on the table.
"Brother, I didn't expect this ASEAN to be so valued by the United States."
Bai Chengen put down the document: "Poor dogs ignore the same small countries, because of logistics, let them compromise like this?"
Jiang Yang smiled: "Don't underestimate the business of logistics."
"With the increasing frequency of cross-border transactions, the transportation of goods has become a necessary way for merchants from all over the world to reduce costs."
"Especially long distances."
Jiang Yang put down the teacup and said, "The transportation cost of the ship is far lower than that of air and land transportation."
"The main credit for the compromise of the US side this time lies in Xin."
"He used the tripartite strategy to monopolize the logistics resources of China and ASEAN in the hands of Meigang, so as to use this bargaining chip to negotiate with the United States."
Jiang Yang looked at Bai Chengen: "What the United States has compromised is not Meigang, but interests. What the US side is afraid of is not Mae Hong Kong, but the rooster in the north and the 10 ASEAN countries."
"To put it bluntly, I'm afraid that one day in the future, ASEAN and the north will play by themselves, and they won't need it."
"At that time, American businessmen are afraid that they will be uprooted."
Jiang Yang smiled when he said this: "Those puppets didn't dare to play like this, so they agreed to leave the export business in Asia to us."
Bai Chengen frowned and continued, "I still don't understand."
"Now this Mae Port is all clamoring for a free trade port."
"It's building warehouses and ships, and it's a busy one."
Bai Chengen looked at Jiang Yang: "You have been building ships since you came to Southeast Asia, and my brain hurts when you burn money."
"Is this thing really that profitable?"
"When will we be able to recoup the cost of building those giant freighters?"
For this question, Bai Chengen has been buried in his heart for a long time.
Not only him, but the entire Blue Whale Company and hundreds of thousands of employees up and down in Meigang don't quite understand Jiang Yang's approach and intentions.
Burning money all the time.
Li Yan made a special account.
So far, since the moment Boss Jiang stepped into Southeast Asia, he has almost not entered, and all of it is reverse output.
He brought out nearly $15 billion from China, $20 billion he "borrowed" from Hua Youdao, $45 billion that Ye Wenjing "borrowed" to Meigang in batches, and later borrowed from Citi
The $20 billion that came, including $8 billion "borrowed" from former "old friends" such as Huang Zhengqian and Huang Defa, and other money, was all smashed into the new SAR and the "super wharf" between Andaman and Gretel.
That's a lot of 100 billion dollars.
The matter of the so-called "super dock" is only known to Li Yan alone.
Meigang claims that it has invested nearly $80 billion at this time.
But Li Yan knew in her heart that some of the 100 billion US dollars quietly flowed into the "super terminal" in the Andaman region, that is, the shipyard under the Blue Whale International Shipping Company, including the large ship factories in Germany and France, which also had accounts flowing out of Mae Port.
Since the last time Boss Jiang said that he wanted to do the business of shipping logistics, he locked himself in his room and stared at the world map for a week, and began a crazy shipbuilding journey of throwing money.
It's all about the sea giants and containers.
The cost of a 20-ton super freighter alone exceeds 1.5 billion r, and each ship is rated to hitch on 20,000 giant containers, and the cost of each container is about 30,000 yuan, and 20,000 is 600 million yuan.
Coupled with other additional cargo ship stowage, the cost of a super cargo ship that can meet the needs of long-distance transportation by sea even reaches nearly 2.5 billion yuan.
More than half a year has passed now.
Shipbuilding alone burned more than 10 billion dollars.
And Mae Hong Kong is only halfway built.
The point is that the investment is too scattered.
100 billion sounds like a lot, but for building a new city out of thin air, it seems a little inadequate.
If Boss Jiang had concentrated the money to establish a region, it might have been very objective by now.
But he didn't.
The whole empty city rises from the ground, and in order to reflect the whole appearance of the entire Meigang, almost everything that can be seen on the design drawings is fully moved.
Looking at the current Meigang, almost all the buildings are half-built, and there are scenes of construction everywhere, but there is not a single completed building in sight.
Not only that, Jiangyang is now going to build its own telecommunications company and power station in Mae Gang.
This means that Meigang will have to launch many satellites of its own, as well as all kinds of large-scale sophisticated equipment and machinery.
If you're a little crazier, you might have to build rockets.
Otherwise, it doesn't seem to be Boss Jiang's character.
All in all, hundreds of billions of dollars are scattered like fairies in Boss Jiang's hands, one in the east and one in the west, and all of them are scattered out.
At this time, the money has almost dispersed, and there is no money to buy and sell.
For such a huge company or group, what is the concept of not having any income in the past year, Li Yan feels a chill in the back of his head just thinking about it.
So when Bai Chengen mentioned the word "make money", almost everyone present had green eyes.
Qi brushed and looked at Jiang Yang.
seems to be saying: Comrade Lao Bai is right, we have been out and tossing for so long, only seeing out and seeing in, when can we make money? How much do you earn? Now you have to tell us about it.
Jiang Yang was very calm about everyone's eyes, picked up the teacup lid and wiped it on the mouth of the teacup, picked it up and put it to his mouth and blew it.
"Theoretically, we can make money in the business we do now."
Jiang Yang took a sip of tea and said lightly, "As for how big the profit is, I think it won't be long before you can know."
