Chapter 183: Star Sea Trade Stopped (4.2k)
At around 4 p.m. the next day, Wujiang Group held a press conference.
Reporters from major media around the world thought that Wujiang Group was going to launch new products again, and they were looking forward to it one by one.
However, they never expected that the news that Borderless Group was about to announce would be even more shocking than the release of a new product.
Today, Zhao Ye is wearing a black suit, handsome and handsome.
The reporters from the major media were almost there, and Zhao Ye saw this and slowly walked to the stage.
"It's Zhao Ye!!"
The reporter suddenly exclaimed!
Because...... Zhao Ye has not hosted the press conference of Wujiang Group for a long time.
At this moment, he appeared on the stage, and all the media reporters present couldn't help but be surprised!
Does this mean that the content to be released at this conference is extremely important? Otherwise, why let the big boss of Wujiang Group personally come forward to preside over the press conference?
When the reporters thought of this, they were immediately excited, and secretly said that the headlines on the front page of the next day were about to appear, and the sales of the newspaper were about to soar again!
"Bang Bang !!"
Everyone applauded wildly, welcoming and looking forward to Zhao Ye's coming to power.
Zhao Ye looked at the blazing eyes of the audience, listened to the bursts of applause in his ears, and still maintained a very calm expression on his face.
Soon, he was in the middle of the stage.
The moment he picked up the microphone, the whole world seemed to fall silent.
Zhao Ye was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a charming and confident smile.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the press conference of Wujiang Group, I am Zhao Ye!" After Zhao Ye finished speaking, he bowed to everyone, showing his gentlemanly demeanor.
The audience applauded.
Zhao Ye pressed his palm, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said straight to the point: "Today, Wujiang Group will announce a major event to the public!"
Wujiang Group is ready to spend 25 billion US dollars to invest in the Lujiazui renovation plan, benchmarking Manhattan in New York, USA, and striving to build Lujiazui into an international financial center in Shanghai! ”
Manhattan covers an area of 59.5 square kilometers, and Lujiazui covers an area of 31.78 square kilometers, but Wujiang Group also bought the land around Lujiazui, so the real construction area is not smaller than Manhattan.
At this point, everyone was stunned.
In 1990, the investment of 25 billion US dollars broke through the sky!
It's amazing!
After that, he even had to benchmark against Manhattan, New York, and I don't know whether to say that Zhao Ye is arrogant, or that he is amazing?
In short, everyone was dumbfounded.
It took half a ring for everyone to come back to their senses.
However, at this time, Zhao Ye continued: "I have already made a rendering in advance, please enjoy it!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a rendering of the transformed Lujiazui on the big screen behind Zhao Ye.
As soon as this picture appeared, the audience immediately erupted in deafening exclamations.
"Oh God, this is so beautiful, I feel like I'm in the future, it's God's handiwork!!"
"Wow, it's so much prettier than Manhattan, it's like heaven on earth!!"
"Incredible!! Is that a sailing building, it's a fantastic design?! Oh my God, the building in the center towers into the sky, a lot taller than the building next to it, how tall does it have to be?
Whew, what's that, Petronas Twin Towers??
And tent building? Ship building?
The designers of the Lujiazui renovation plan are too imaginative, and many ideas are simply imaginative! I took it, after the successful transformation of Lujiazui, it is definitely much more beautiful than Manhattan! ”
Lu Jiazui is almost repainting on a blank piece of paper, while Manhattan is a revision on a piece of drawing paper.
In addition, many of Manhattan's old-fashioned buildings have long been formed, and it is impossible to rebuild Lujiazui.
Therefore, judging from the renderings of Lujiazui's transformation, it is indeed Lujiazui that is much more beautiful than Manhattan, but in terms of influence, Lujiazui is not as beautiful as Manhattan.
If you want Lujiazui to surpass Manhattan, unless China's status and influence surpass that of the United States.
After a few minutes, Zhao Ye continued: "This is how Lujiazui has been renovated, but these are just my personal assumptions, and they have not yet formed drawings. Therefore, I am here to invite major architectural design firms and construction engineering companies from all over the world to come and cooperate with me to help me complete this ambitious project! ”
"Okay, I've said what I'm going to say, the press conference is over, goodbye everyone!" Zhao Ye said, bowed to everyone, and walked off the stage from the right side by himself.
It's a pity that the reporters couldn't interview Zhao Ye, but the content of today's press conference is so shocking, it's enough.
The next day, the world's major media reported the news that Wujiang Group had invested $25 billion to build Lujiazui into Shanghai's international financial center.
The domestic people are dumbfounded, domestic billionaires are rare, extremely rare, but Wujiang Group has spent 25 billion US dollars to invest in the transformation of Lujiazui, how rich is this country, to come up with so much money!
Many architectural design firms in China are excited, if they can participate in the Lujiazui project, they will definitely benefit a lot, one is money, the other is technology, especially to be able to cooperate with international giants, will definitely be able to learn a lot of technology.
As a result, an architectural design firm immediately contacted Wujiang Group and wanted to participate in the Lujiazui renovation project.
Foreign architectural design firms are not far behind, including SOM in the United States, SWECO FFNS in Sweden, GMP in Germany, Baojia International Architects Co., Ltd. in Canada, and RMJM, WinWin, and Foster Architects in the United Kingdom.
In just one or two days, hundreds of well-known architectural design firms expressed their intention to cooperate.
Even Hong Kong's feng shui masters came to Shanghai to get a piece of the pie.
……
Japan.
Seibu Group.
Ti Yiming sighed: "I finally know why Wanjiang Real Estate wants to withdraw from Tokyo Real Estate, it turns out that it is going to build Lujiazui!" ”
Ti Yiming was very happy that he had found the reason for Wanjiang Real Estate's withdrawal from Tokyo, and the doubts and fears in his heart suddenly dissipated.
The Seibu Group is now like a horse-drawn carriage racing on a one-way street, unable to stop at all, and will have an accident if it stops.
Previously, Tiyi Ming felt faintly uneasy when he saw Wanjiang Real Estate selling off the Tokyo industry, but now he feels that he can continue to soar boldly and boldly.
"Wujiang Group is really rich, and it is really enviable and jealous to invest $25 billion in Lujiazui. However, our Seibu Group will not be worse than Wujiang Group, with the appreciation of Jingdong Real Estate, our Seibu Group will far exceed Wujiang Group in the future! ”
A certain karaoke room.
Ti Yiming hugged the two beauties left and right, and said loudly to his friends and escort girls: "Today I am happy, everyone continue to sing and dance!" I'll pay for all the expenses tonight!! ”
……
……
USA, Motorola.
Several executives couldn't help but laugh when they saw the news that Wujiang Group had invested $25 billion to build Lujiazui.
"Doing business pays attention to the pattern!"
"The pattern of Wujiang Group is different from that of Motorola."
"After Wujiang Group has money, the thing it thinks about is to build a house! And what we at Motorola want is to send satellites into the sky, which is the Iridium program!! ”
"The pattern of the two companies is completely different, and Wujiang Group is doomed to fail and is not worthy of being our opponent!"
Motorola executives couldn't help but laugh at the Borderless Group, even though they were equally shocked when they first saw the renderings of Lujiazui.
"Haha, yes, the pattern of Wujiang Group is too low! What kind of high-tech company does Zhao Ye do, it's better to go directly to be a contractor and build a house in China! ”
Motorola's executives ridiculed wantonly, but they didn't know who was slapped in the face in the end.
……
At this time, domestic product companies related to building materials were ecstatic.
Large infrastructure projects can often attract domestic demand and accelerate the development of the national economy.
The construction of Lujiazui requires a large amount of steel, cement, glass, etc., so that many industries can benefit. At the same time, it can also alleviate employment pressure and increase the income of construction workers. When the income of construction workers increases and their spending power increases, commodity manufacturers can make money, and when factories make money, they can pay wages to workers, and workers will have money to spend...... Thus a circle of conscience is formed.
At present, with the start of the Lujiazui renovation project, many factories are consciously increasing their production capacity.
However, China itself is short of steel, which has led to a sharp rise in steel prices.
For now, it is better to be able to import cheap steel from abroad.
It just so happened that the USSR had a lot of steel, and it was of good quality and not expensive.
Therefore, Zhao Ye instructed Xinghai Trading Company to purchase a large amount of steel at the same time as purchasing oil.
The state-owned enterprises of the Soviet Union, everyone who understands it.
The cub sells Ye Tian and is not distressed.
As long as you can fish in troubled waters, that's fine.
Therefore, the purchase of steel from the Soviet Union was also relatively smooth, and the Soviet Union had a serious surplus of steel at this time, and Xinghai Trading Company directly purchased it at a price a little higher than the price of scrap iron.
Trains carrying light industrial goods to the Soviet Union in exchange for oil and steel.
Xinghai Trading Company brought a large amount of supplies to the Soviet people, and also greatly improved their lives.
All the Soviet people who came to work in China could not help but be deeply moved when they heard the "good deeds" of the Wujiang Group and helped the Soviet people improve their lives, and thus felt grateful to the Wujiang Group and Zhao Ye, and their enthusiasm for work suddenly skyrocketed.
However, the good times were short-lived.
"Boss, the trading volume of Xinghai Trade is too large, and it has seriously threatened Lao Mei's blockade strategy. Therefore, we have been warned, if the Wujiang Group dares to ignore the warning, then I am afraid that we will face all kinds of troubles next......" Liu Yinyin frowned and reported to Zhao Ye.
When Zhao Ye heard this, his face was heavy and serious.
After being silent for a while, Zhao Ye could only choose to give in. He said to Liu Yinyin: "Inform Xinghai Trading Company to stop trading with the Soviet Union!" ”
After finishing speaking, he thought for a moment and added, "Tell the Soviet employees at home why our Xinghai Trade stopped trading with the Soviet Union!" In addition, let people spread the news on the side of the Soviet Union...... Create the image that we are innocent and victims, and point the finger at others. ”
In the previous life, the number of Soviets who emigrated to the Western world was very large, and the fact that these people were able to immigrate abroad shows that they are not simple, they are either rich or expensive, or they have a skill, and they are cattle in a certain field.
If they can be disgusted and disgusted with the person they are targeting, then if they want to immigrate in the future, which country will they choose as their first choice?
Liu Yinyin secretly said that the boss's trick is wonderful, and the backhand is a blow. No matter what kind of impact it will have on the Soviet side, those Soviet colleagues in China will definitely share the same hatred and are willing to shed their blood for the Wujiang Group, so that the Wujiang Group can produce better products, so as to seize the market share of American enterprises.
"Okay, boss, I understand!"
Soon, Xinghai Trade was ordered to stop trade with the Soviet Union.
When rocket expert Gabriel Wilcotez heard the news, he couldn't believe it, and he contacted Ye Zhiqiang, the head of Xinghai Trading Company, through his connections.
Gabriel Wilcotez suppressed his anger and asked, "Mr. Ye, Xinghai Trade is doing a good job of Su trade, why should it be stopped?" Now the Soviet people are still hungry and have no padded jackets for the winter! ”
"Mr. Wilcotez, it's not that I want to stop trading, I really can't help it!" Ye Zhiqiang sighed helplessly.
Immediately, he told Gabriel Wilcotez about the reason why Xinghai Trading Company stopped trading with the Soviet Union, and Xinghai Trading Company was also under pressure.
After hearing this, Gabriel Wilcotez, although he was still angry, could understand the decision of Star Sea Trade and the Borderless Group.
At this time, his inner emotions are extremely complex, powerless, sad, angry, sympathetic, and so on, intertwined.
Ye Zhiqiang sighed again: "Mr. Wilcottes, the boss wants to help the Soviet people, but after all, because of his lack of strength, he will be powerless." If the Borderless Group becomes stronger, why should it be afraid of threats? At this moment, you might as well turn your grief and anger into strength and help the company develop more advanced products, so as to defeat the European and American competitors of the Borderless Group, which can be regarded as revenge, isn't it? ”
After listening to Ye Zhiqiang's suggestion, Gabriel Wilcotez couldn't help but feel very reasonable.
In the evening, Soviet colleagues got together.
"Will Cortes, why did Xinghai stop trading with the Soviet Union?" Gabriel Wilcotez was asked.
Gabriel Wilcotez sighed and told why.
Suddenly, everyone was filled with righteous indignation.
Gabriel Wilcotez was impassioned and said loudly: "Compatriots, there is nothing else we can do at the moment, so let's turn our grief and anger into strength, develop more advanced and cheaper rockets, and then snatch the rocket launch orders of the Americans in the international space market!! ”
"Good!! That's it!! The space technology of the old United States is a fart, and the space technology of our Soviets is the best!! Let's grab all the rocket launch orders from the Americans!! ”
Everyone echoed one after another, and the fighting spirit was high!
Well, Zhao Ye never expected that Soviet scientific researchers would burst their livers one after another, and they were willing to devote their lives to the great cause of China Wujiang Group. Basically, they work overtime every day, and their motivation to work crushes their Chinese colleagues. Naturally, this trend has affected other people as well.
Soviet buddies are working overtime, are you embarrassed not to work overtime?
Zhao Ye, a big capitalist, still has a bit of a conscience, and he has overtime pay for overtime.
Therefore, many people think, then work overtime, anyway, there is money to get.
On the Soviet side, the character design of Borderless is also very good, and many Soviets have a great impression of Borderless.
Some time ago, it was precisely because of the large amount of materials provided by the Borderless Group that the Soviet people were able to live a happy life. Unfortunately, this happy life lasted only a few months before it was stopped......
It has to be said that only by going from hell to heaven and from heaven to hell can the Soviets truly feel the goodness of the Borderless Group.
At this moment, countless Soviets can't help but start to feel nostalgic for the days when the Borderless Group provided them with materials......
Of course, although the Wujiang Group stopped Xinghai's trade with the Soviet Union, it did not stop poaching people.
More and more Soviets recognized the Borderless Group, which made it very easy for the Borderless Group to poach people.
Every week, train after train departs from the Soviet Union to Beiping, China. The trains used to be full of oil and steel, but now they are replaced by Soviet scientists, technicians, and engineers......
