Chapter 296 Three-Party Relationship, Secret Code
When Old Smith called, Yu Yang was meeting Neil Xiaobu in Wudu Hall.
The other party inherited the Carlisle Group from Lao Bu, and served as the chairman of Unilever and Carlyle Investments, as well as co-managed Marubeni Trading Company-Wanhong Investment.
Neil Xiaobu arrived in the capital a week ago in order to take over the market of Sanyuan Agriculture.
This meeting between the two parties mainly discussed 'multi-faceted cooperation'.
In other words, large capital groups are complex structures.
The relationship between each other is like that between countries. They may cooperate closely in some aspects, they may be life-and-death in some aspects, and they may not have any conflict in some aspects.
This is the case with Sanyuan Agriculture and Carlisle Group.
The two sides do not interfere with each other in the field of food.
In the field of automotive electronics, Carlisle Group is the only underwriter of Sanyuan Machinery in Europe and the United States. It mainly imports 'Laotou Le', 'Electric Three Wheels', 'Ternary Lithium Batteries', as well as related auto parts, automobiles Decoration and automotive after-sales, annual sales are as high as 9 billion U.S. dollars, with a profit ratio of about 35%.
But in the fields of CNC machine tools and machining, the two sides are mortal enemies.
Because Carlisle Group invested and controlled most of the engineering companies in Wajima and Germany, and used Marubeni Trading Co., Ltd. as the "bridge for import and export trade in the East", it firmly controlled the demand for imported equipment in the East.
However, Sanyuan Heavy Industry has relied on high-precision and counterfeit equipment to gradually encroach on Carlisle Group's markets in the East, and even in the Asia-Pacific and Northern Europe markets.
And during the period when the Japanese island was disconnected, Sanyuan Heavy Industry exploded. While using the PLC technology provided by General Electric to upgrade high-precision machine tools and reduce prices, it also increased the shipments of counterfeit Japanese machine tools. While launching automation and intelligent equipment, it is selling off the third series of peripheral industries.
This series of operations almost drove the products of Japanese and German capital out of the East.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people opposing Three-Year Agriculture and so many people making small moves against Three-Year Agriculture.
Nowadays, the market for Sanyuan agricultural transfer has made Carlisle Group relieved.
At this point, there is almost no conflict between the two parties, only 'Old Man Le' is left to cooperate.
So Neil Xiaobu, on behalf of Carlisle Group and many of its companies, expressed goodwill to Yu Yang and Sanyuan Agriculture, and also expressed that he would use Xiaobu, the North American general manager, to Laotou Le and North America Shili Mall Goods Lower tariffs.
Yu Yang accepted this readily and talked in detail about the list of import and export commodities.
Both parties talked happily until the end.
Seeing that the heat was almost over, Neil Xiaobu immediately proposed the introduction of ‘graphene’.
Yu Yang knew the other party’s intentions a long time ago. He hesitated for a moment and then personally asked the ADM research team for instructions on the phone.
In the end, under Dong Yu’s emotional persuasion and Xiao Zhi’s rational persuasion, Lao Ren agreed to export high-tech materials in order to earn foreign exchange.
Yu Yang put down the communicator, "The process of preparing graphene is very complicated and time-consuming and labor-intensive. Please refer to our cost, and the rest is equivalent to gold."
"Director Yu, I wonder what the supply cycle and quantity are?"
"If you are willing to buy, we can increase capital and expand production. After all, the East has a large amount of cheap labor. Basically, as long as the raw materials are sufficient, , the output is not a problem, it depends on how much you want."
"If I do. The party purchased 20 tons this time. I don’t know when it can be supplied?”
“It can be done now”
Neil Xiaobu doesn’t know the value of graphene yet, but Lao Bu is not sure. During the phone call, he said that as long as it is within the acceptable range, Sanyuan Agriculture can supply as much as he wants.
So he tried: "200 tons?"
"Delivery tomorrow."
"2000 tons?"
"Delivery next week."
"20,000 tons?"
"You think this is scrap iron, how much do you want?"
"···"
"2,000 tons, payment today, delivery next week."
"Deal!"
After the discussion, Yu Yang said goodbye to Neil Xiaobu, found a secluded conference room, and contacted Old Smith.
He was very calm when he learned that Lao Bu planned to cooperate with the other party to rob his own grain ship.
Because Lao Bu used overseas bases, disguised as pirates, plundered his own food, and then sold it to Lao Smith, Lao Bu had no risk and made "a huge profit".
Let me ask you, who wouldn’t want to do this kind of business if given the opportunity?
I think so too.
But even if Old Smith told his family the news, both sides would have nothing to do with Old Boo.
After all, the grain belongs to the company, and the customers are the 'friends' it hopes to win over. The company responsible for shipping is owned by Old Smith, and there is insurance, which means that the grain must be shipped to the importing country no matter what.
So besides being on guard against Lao Bu and preventing the food from being robbed, Yu Yang had no other choice.
However, Old Smith wanted to win too much.
"Yu, I believe you can counterattack Lao Bu."
"Old Shi, we are very passive this time and it is difficult to take the initiative."
"When you deal with me, you use various methods at all levels. Why do you push back and block me when you deal with Lao Bu? Do you have a closer cooperation with Lao Bu's family?"
"In addition to Lao Tou Le and North American Shili Mall, You know all this Coupled with the 2,000 tons of graphene supply just signed, the relationship between me and Lao Bu is definitely not as good as that between me, you and my wife.”
Sanyuan Agriculture, ADM, North American Procter & Gamble, and Wilmar International. -Yihai Jiali is indeed a mortal enemy.
But Sanyuan Agriculture and the Smith family also have a very close cooperation.
For example, after General Motors authorized its entire brand to Shifeng Group, General Motors began to entrust Sanyuan Machinery to manufacture "cost-effective parts that can be integrated into die-casting."
After more than a year of cooperation, the business of both parties has gradually spread from vehicle frames and car casings to wheels and engines.
We even started to manufacture complete vehicles, and then went through export and import procedures to achieve the image of General Motors as an ‘imported brand’.
For this reason, Quanpu has developed many assembly plants, final assembly plants, etc. based on its semi-trailer production base, and brands such as Lvslais and Fara Lv were born.
Another example is A.O Smith water heater.
After General Motors Chairman John Smith informed A.O. Smith about the benefits of OEM and the financial benefits brought about by the surge in automobile shipments, the latter tried to entrust Sanyuan Machinery to OEM integrated die-casting. boiler.
After tasting the sweetness, A.O Smith has raised its sales to the level of "one of the best" in the global water heater field, relying on high quality and high cost performance, far behind the second place.
And with the help of three series of partners, it has extended its business into water purifiers, air purifiers, range hoods, kitchen and bathroom appliances and other industries, and quickly made the A.0 Smith brand bigger and stronger.
Later, Oriental Shili Mall, North American Shili Mall, and European Shili Mall all signed strategic cooperation agreements with A.O Smith.
The general meaning is: In addition to the same Sanyuan original products, as long as A.O Smith appears in the mall, Shili Mall will never introduce other brands.
It can be said that Yu Yang is really good at the ‘Smith Family’.
···
Old Smith naturally knew that Yu Yang was good to him.
I even know that the Smith family is extremely friendly to Yu Sanyuan, and plans to send several nephews to third-level colleges and universities for further studies in order to better take over the 'Orientalized family industry' and better maintain the family Cooperation between industries and three-series enterprises.
But Old Smith also knew that Yu Yang used OEM services to tie a branch of the Smith family to the third-series chariot.
If one day the two sides break up, the branch of the family who does not want to lose the OEM will inevitably cause many of Old Smith's relatives to betray him.
Unfortunately, this is an inevitable trend for North America to deindustrialize and take a financial path.
In other words, this is an important part of Old Smith's control of North America. Otherwise, if North America does not deindustrialize and take the financial road, how will North American Jewish capital rise?
"Yu, as long as I can defeat Lao Bu, I will cooperate with you in all aspects."
Old Smith is eager to win once.
First, I want my wife to be happy.
The second is that it has done everything possible to join the military-industrial complex, and uses the Tijuana Shipyard to achieve military manufacturing, and then offers substantial profits to North American defense contractors, but the other parties have always shut it out. Now the elder Smith has become completely disillusioned with the military-industrial complex.
He wants to make people in the financial sector feel the crisis through the failures and scandals of the military-industrial complex.
Then persuade lawmakers in the financial field to support the Smith family in becoming a North American defense contractor to counter the military-industrial complex.
So when Lao Bu used overseas bases to disguise himself as pirates and rob grain ships, he was bound to be exposed.
However, the Smith family is currently unable to compete with the military-industrial complex. Although the democratic and republican factions are in the same boat, they cannot completely tear each other apart.
So Yu Sanyuan needs to be done to expose this matter.
So, when Old Smith informed Yu Yang of Old Bu’s plan, he was actually using 30% of the equity of North American Ocean Shipping Group, implying that Yu Yang should do this.
However, due to the influence of the environment and his brothers, Yu Yang has gradually developed a bandit mentality.
In his opinion, if others have big fists and come to rob us, we can only take precautions. How can we tell such a shameful thing?
Of course, we must fight back.
You hit yours, I'll hit mine.
So when I heard Old Smith’s desire to win once...
Yu Yang thought for a while, “How about we build a strong grain transport ship and ram it and sink it to rob the grain? Warships, let the congressmen see what junk they bought?"
"This will stir up a hornet's nest."
"It's none of our business?"
Old Smith thought about it and felt it was feasible.
And in this way, not only what Lao Bu did can be exposed, but also the quality of the ships at the Tijuana Shipyard can be promoted.
"Then I'll make arrangements."
···
Yu Yang hung up the phone and didn't care about the outrageous plan of 'grain ship ramming and sinking warship'.
The idea is, you fight yours and I fight mine.
Then I thought of the Battle of Afghanistan.
In the past, the military-industrial complex controlled the minerals and flour-growing areas in Afghanistan. Now that the flour-growing areas have rebelled, they have lost a lot of income, so they united with the Northern Alliance to fight against the Southern Alliance. .
However, the military-industrial complex cannot easily conquer Afghanistan, otherwise it will not be able to exaggerate military expenditures and be stationed in Afghanistan to cultivate new flour-growing forces.
At this time, if a Marine Corps kills Harden in public, and immediately informs the world, announcing the end of counter-terrorism, what reason will Lao Bu use to continue to attack Afghanistan, and what reason will he use to stay in Afghanistan? area?
If Lao Bu admits that counter-terrorism is over and announces the withdrawal of troops, bandits will be rampant in Afghanistan.
If Lao Bu does not withdraw his troops, Lao Smith will inevitably command the democratic faction to attack the republican faction, and then canvass votes in advance to win the mid-term election, allowing the democratic faction to create its own general manager.
However, North America is very likely to suppress the news of Harden's death and deny the news from all aspects...
Yu Yang thought for a long time, gave up the idea, and turned to And consider Africa.
The forces of various countries in Africa are interspersed, including France, Ice Bear, England, Germany, North America, Spain, Italy, Australia, Canada...
And the forces of various countries are in constant conflict, so that The 'Africa S1 Season' broke out.
The Lao Bu family must have established industries in Africa.
For example, diamonds, chemicals, medical research...
Old Buling's overseas base acted as pirates to steal our food, so we simply asked the black uncles to act as bandits and rob everything of Old Buling.
Let's see who can hold on.
···
East Coast of North America, North Carolina.
Wilmington Seaport.
As the grain importing countries heading to the East took out their own trading chips and obtained a large amount of grain, dry cargo containers filled with various grains began to be loaded here.
Compared with the traditional 'grain + conveyor belt + bulk cargo ship', the loading speed of grain in the form of dry cargo containers is much faster.
And after arriving at the destination, if the railway leads directly to the seaport, the dry cargo container can be converted to railway transportation on the spot.
Busy.
Three large 100,000-ton cargo ships newly launched by the Tijuana Shipyard slowly docked at the port.
Klin, who stayed here, saw the appearance of the ship through the telescope. He couldn't help rubbing his eyes and checked again, "What the hell, they changed the battleship into a transport ship?"
···
Caribbean.
Guantanamo Prison - North American Base.
Three 3,000-ton destroyers left the port one after another and headed straight to the depths of the Caribbean Sea.
For shipping on the east coast of North America, if you want to go to all parts of the world, there are generally two routes.
One is through Panama, between North and South America, and then across the Pacific.
One is to cross the Atlantic Ocean, pass through the Mediterranean Sea, Suez, Red Sea, Sango Yang, Malacca, and then enter the southern seas.
Not all the grain from Sanyuan Agriculture is sent to the East, but directly to grain importing countries.
Including Germany, Italy, Chile, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, Bangladesh...
Based on the import volume, 2 million tons need to be imported There are 28 left and right.
There are 21 countries that need to import about 1 million tons.
There are 33 countries that need to import about 500,000 tons.
So the best place to grab food is the 'canal' between several oceans.
But Lao Bu didn’t want to plunder on a large scale, so as to avoid breaking up with Yu Sanyuan.
So we selected several sea areas where pirates are present.
When the time comes, North American Ocean Shipping Group's cargo ships are robbed. Xiaobu can also use this as an excuse to increase the budget of overseas bases, increase more military expenditures, and allocate more military orders, making the Carlyle Group profitable.
Overall, this is indeed a profitable deal.
Of course, Yu Sanyuan must know that it was done by himself, but in the future, he can give some OEM orders to Sanyuan Agriculture...
November 16th.
Many warships arranged by Lao Bu arrived at the designated sea areas one after another.
November 18th.
Just when many large cargo ships of the North American Ocean Shipping Group, including several newly launched 500,000-ton giant cargo ships, are about to enter the Caribbean Sea or the Red Sea.
Three American destroyers anchored in the Caribbean, preparing to rob food, suddenly found themselves surrounded by pirate flags.
And the leading ship is the Russell.
Several American frigates anchored in the Red Sea saw the Jones flying the pirate flag.
at the same time.
The flagships of these pirate ships all displayed semaphores.
"Secret code!"
"???"
Soon.
Lao Bu received the message, "Secret code?"
"Yes, Mr. Lao Bu, what they probably mean is, Sweatdrips from the soil under the grass."
"Sweat drips from the soil under the grass?"
