Chapter 403: No Good Thing

After listening to Fang Lang's words, Mr. Morgan nodded with a smile and said:

"Whether or not our experiments in Turkey and Greece succeed will not affect our assistance to the rest of Europe. This is a political trend, and we cannot give up aid because our experiments have not yielded good results. ”

Fang Lang is not surprised by this, the US government to help Europe recover the economy is not a simple economic issue, even if the major conglomerates cannot get enough profits from this operation, the US government will definitely not give up aiding Europe.

After all, Europe is the front-line position against the CPSU, and if Europe's economy cannot recover quickly, Europe may not need the Soviet Union to send troops at all, and the red ideology in its own country can overthrow the current government.

This situation is unacceptable to neither the U.S. government nor other countries, so it is imperative to provide assistance to Europe, and the government will definitely vigorously promote it.

And if the consortium can't make enough profits now, it will also find ways to make back this part of the profits from European countries in the future.

The main problem now is that the American consortium wants to conduct an experiment on Turkey and Greece to validate their plans and make sure they can be replicated in other countries when they are officially implemented.

And since it is an experiment, there is definitely a possibility of failure, as the capitalists' consortium, they will definitely rush to the field that can be quickly realized, and a consortium like the Fang family, which is not strong enough, will definitely only be able to share some high-risk areas with little profit.

As for whether the agreement reached between Fang Lang and the Morgan family can continue, it depends on whether this meeting can finally reach an agreement.

"Then I wonder what Mr. Morgan came to me for this time?"

Hearing that Fang Lang finally asked the point, Mr. Morgan was no longer polite, and said directly:

"In addition to supporting the economic recovery, there are also a lot of livelihood projects, so we need to provide enough food and daily necessities for the local people.

And according to the agreement we reached, it was to help your Nice company provide food to the recipient country, but now the consortium behind Bunge has raised objections to this. ”

Fang Lang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, he was not surprised by the appearance of Bunge Company, as one of the four major grain merchants in order to be, the strength of Bunge Company is undoubted.

Originally, Fang Lang never thought that it would be a great victory to completely snatch all the food support projects in this support project for Europe, as long as he could tear a hole in it.

Now it is reasonable for Bunge to jump out and express its opposition to Nice's involvement in the food support program.

"Oh! What does the other person mean? ”

Morgan didn't find any abnormal expression on Fang Lang's face, and he didn't know what Fang Lang was really thinking at the moment, and when he heard his question, he also said honestly:

"The other party believes that Nice is not an American company at all, and it is not eligible to join this program at all."

When Fang Lang heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he continued to say quietly:

"What does Mr. Morgan think?"

"Of course I'm on your side, after all, we are loyal partners. And, there is an agreement between us. ”

Seeing Mr. Morgan's sworn look, Fang Lang despised the other party fiercely in his heart, if he was really on his side, how could he possibly invite himself to the United States for talks.

Obviously, now he wants to make concessions on this, and Fang Lang doesn't mind sharing this huge grain business with Bunge.

You must know that this support plan is not free of charge, but the U.S. government has allocated real money, and the local government and the economic committee composed of Americans coordinate the purchase of corresponding products from that American company.

Of course, this is all a superficial solution, and even the list of suppliers provided by the Americans includes almost all the companies in the United States that can provide these products.

There is much more to food alone than a competition between Bunge and Nice, but why would Bunge target Nice alone?

In fact, the real suppliers are basically decided by the representatives of the US side of this economic committee.

The representative of the US side is actually the spokesman for the interests of the consortium, and what kind of products will be purchased from that company has already been determined long before the implementation of the plan.

Now it is clear that the big bosses behind Bunge do not agree with Nice to get involved in the project. The Morgan consortium, which is Fang Lang's collaborator, may not be willing to give up the interests of other places for the sake of this business.

Therefore, now I want to persuade Fang Lang to give up this business, or give up a part of the share.

Fang Lang glanced at the other party with a smile and continued:

"Oh! In that case, what is Mr. Morgan asking me to come over this time? ”

This made Morgan lose his stomach and didn't know how to speak. After all, it is indeed the Morgan family's problem, which had already promised to support Nice in entering the food project of this aid to Europe.

Now, out of consideration for his interests, he actually wants his partner to give up the interests in it, if he asks him to persuade Fang Lang directly, even he himself doesn't know how to speak.

But Mr. Morgan is also a good businessman, and he knows very well that whatever it is, it is negotiable.

If you want the other party to give up part of your interests, you only need to exchange other benefits for the other party, and there is nothing that cannot be discussed, but it is just a question of how much benefit needs to be paid and whether it is worth it.

Morgan and Fang Lang are very aware of this, so Fang Lang will come from Brazil for a special trip, the purpose is to directly finalize with the other party.

"Huh....... Fang, this is a business, I don't want you to make enemies in the American consortium for the sake of the food business, which is obviously not conducive to the future development of your global group in the United States and Europe. ”

Fang Lang smiled in his heart, what the other party said was good, it seemed to be thinking about Fang Lang, but in fact, Fang Lang knew very well that the other party was just for his own interests.

Or is it because he is unwilling to offend other consortia for the benefit of Fang Lang, or simply someone has a greater interest and makes him give up the agreement reached with Fang Lang.

In this regard, Fang Lang's heart is as bright as a mirror, but as a mature businessman, he will not puncture the other party's pretext.

"You mean you want to persuade me to give up the grain trade in the European aid program?"

Morgan waved his hand when he heard this:

"Of course not, we are friends, how could I persuade you to give up such a big business?

The other party wants to put Nice on the list of suppliers, but with the influence of our Morgan consortium. Since we have added Nice to the supplier list, if we let Nice leave the supplier list, isn't it a slap in the face of our Morgan consortium? ”

Fang Lang put a small teacup in front of the other party, and after adding tea to the other party, he slowly spoke:

"And what do you mean?"

After receiving the tea handed over by Fang Lang, Morgan did not drink it immediately, but stayed on Fang Lang's hand for a while, as if he was really worried that if he said something that dissatisfied the other party, would he let the other party directly splash the tea on himself.

You must know that there is a pot of boiling water on the tea table now, and in Morgan's mind, a soldier is not a good-tempered person, and it is really difficult to say whether his behavior is equivalent to breaking the contract, whether it will anger the other party.

Therefore, Morgan did not answer Fang Lang's question immediately, but watched Fang Lang's movements with a somewhat wandering gaze, until Fang Lang put down the tools in his hand to make tea and took a sip of a small cup of tea, Morgan said softly:

"After our negotiation with the other party, a plan was given, I don't know if you can accept it!"

Fang Lang quietly raised his eyes and glanced at Morgan, and continued to take a sip of tea before slowly speaking:

"Tell me about it."

After carefully observing Fang Lang's expression for a while, and finding that there was no change, Morgan said slowly:

"What do you think of each of you being responsible for one country's grain order?"

When Fang Lang heard this, his hand holding the teacup stopped in mid-air, he didn't expect that the other party would be willing to be responsible for a country, which was beyond Fang Lang's expectations, he also thought that the other party would leave him a share of ten percent at most.

It seems that the influence of the Morgan consortium is indeed huge, and even a food giant like Bunge can only choose to give up the market, and it is really not wrong to choose to cooperate with the other party.

Although Fang Lang's heart was already satisfied, he would not show it on his face, after all, although Fang Lang's goal had been achieved now, in the final analysis, the Morgan family could be regarded as violating the original agreement.

If Fang Lang loosens his mouth easily, the other party will only gain more inches in the future, no longer pay attention to Fang Lang's ideas, and even more unscrupulously sell Lang's interests in exchange for more benefits for themselves.

"I don't know if the other party is going to put us in charge of that country's grain order?"

Morgan obviously noticed the movements in Fang Lang's hands, in his opinion, this was Fang Lang's dissatisfaction, but fortunately, Fang Lang did not go crazy on the spot, showing the demeanor of a gentleman.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief, as long as Fang Lang didn't go crazy directly, then everything was negotiable.

Therefore, he didn't hide it, and said directly:

"Greece!"

The result once again fell into Fang Lang's expectations, compared to Greece, Turkey has more population and land area than Greece.

The other party chose Turkey, although nominally everyone is evenly divided, but in reality, it is obvious that the other party has gained a larger market share. Normally, Fang Lang must be directly opposed.

But he had a bad impression of Turkey, and although he wanted to make money from them, he did not want to sell this low-cost grain of an aid nature to them.

Greece, on the contrary, is even ready to sell some low-cost grain to Greece if he can, so as to really help the poor people in Brazil.

So, if he had to choose between these two countries, he would rather choose Greece.

Of course, in this case, of course, Fang Lang could not directly accept this opinion, he said without hesitation:

"Mr. Morgan, do you think that's appropriate?"

When Morgan heard this, his face was slightly hot, but fortunately, he was also experienced in battle, and he had experienced a lot of this kind of small scene. So, I quickly controlled my emotions.

"I also don't think it's appropriate, if you agree, I can come forward and negotiate with the other party again to change the supply places of both of you."

Fang Lang's brows furrowed when he said this, what does it mean? If you agree to change the place of supply, doesn't it mean that you have accepted to participate in the food supply with Bunge?

Morgan wants to make himself accept this without paying a little price, which is obviously impossible, isn't this taking himself for a fool?

In fact, if he becomes a grain supplier to Turkey, Fang Lang will definitely be able to make more profits, because he can sell old grain to the Turkish government at the price of new grain.

The Turkish government, which has been rigged internally, has no objection at all, and the Turkish people, who are the targets of the rescue, have no right to find fault with the quality of the food.

Fang Lang's expression obviously couldn't escape Morgan's eyes, who had been carefully observing his reaction.

He immediately understood that the immediate plan had fallen through.

Sure enough, soon Fang Lang spoke directly:

"So Mr. Morgan is asking me to accept it directly, and I will participate in the business of food supply with the other party!"

Morgan, who was seen through the plan, was not embarrassed, but smiled and said:

"Fang, I know that you are a person who understands, and it is indeed more beneficial for you to take a step back in this situation."

Fang Lang continued to say with the same expression:

"I think it's more beneficial to the Morgan consortium!

Mr. Morgan, you also said that we are friends, but now what you are doing is chilling your friends, and your violation of the agreement has seriously hurt our feelings.

I think since we're friends, we should be more honest with each other.

I don't know what kind of price the other party paid for this, of course, this is the content of the transaction between you, you can not tell me.

However, if you want me to accept the offer of giving up half of the market, we at the Global Group will have to be compensated, and I don't care if this compensation is given to us by the other party or by your Morgan consortium. ”

Fang Lang said his requirements directly and directly, and the rest depends on what choice the Morgan family is prepared to make.

In fact, Mr. Morgan was not at all surprised by Fang Lang's words, but breathed a long sigh of relief. Fang Lang's statement shows that he is able to accept negotiations.

What Morgan is really worried about is that Fang Lang will not enter directly, and he must let the Morgan consortium implement the original plan, which will make them very passive.

With an embarrassed expression on his face, as if he had made up his mind, Morgan said with difficulty:

"We are friends, and I don't want to hide it from you, but the other party did come up with conditions that we couldn't refuse.

I personally have no objection to your idea of asking for compensation.

But this is not something that I personally can directly commit to you. Now you can let me know what you think, and I'll coordinate it for you and see if I can meet your requirements. ”

As soon as he heard that he had to see if he could meet his requirements, Fang Lang's heart finally began to get angry.

This attitude of the Morgan consortium made Fang Lang very dissatisfied, he looked at Morgan opposite with cold eyes, and exuded a powerful aura all over his body, which made Morgan a little breathless.

"Excuse me! Are the Morgans giving us alms? ”
