Chapter 420 , the follow-up turmoil of log trading (please guarantee the monthly pass)(1/2)
Only in the pitiful confession of Tao Yaren, who had been tricked by Tao Zhiming, did Tao Zhiming understand what had happened behind the scenes in the past six months.
In March last year, a newspaper in the United States took the lead in breaking the news about this log transaction and called on the United States to sanction Ouilt.
Then in April, Xia Guo made an official announcement: This was indeed the case.
During the delivery process, the king's brother and Hasal's uncle personally drove a yacht to escort the ship, and it is said that he even boarded a freighter and wandered by. Although American ships and planes followed the entire process, nothing happened in the end.
Before and after that, Tao Zhiming just played around with Hasar.
From then on, it was a game between all parties.
At that moment, the struggle between the United States and Hongsu was entering a critical period. Xia's role was very important, and Xia's position was also very delicate.
All in all, although Tao Zhiming was not informed of the specific game strategy, he had a foresight. He knew that the deal would not come to fruition, so it was acquiesced.
Just as Huo Yingdong said, the part of the transaction that is known to the world does not require Tao Zhiming and Huo Yingdong to come forward.
This matter itself has reached a consensus in private transactions between all parties. After all, Ouilt has the bargaining chip to negotiate with Ami Oil. Behind Ami Oil is the American industrial capital consortium. The United States wants Ouilt.
, also had some demands for Xia Guo's position, so he just changed his tone later and despised Xia Guo's logs for not being thick enough, hard enough, and long enough.
But everyone is actually guessing whether Ouiert and Xia Guo have had more in-depth exchanges and explored more wonderful works of art.
Later in the second half of the year, the Ouilt royal family launched the "Royal Vision" plan.
Tao Zhiming had not appeared in anyone's sight until the end of the year. After all, this plan was proposed by the king himself. But at the end of the year, Hasar was actually launched to take charge of this matter, and the supply orders were handed over to
Got Tao Zhiming.
Of course, the Ouilt royal family is not monolithic, and Ami Oil penetrated much earlier.
Therefore, it was Tao Yaren's masters who knew about this first, and also knew that the order specified that they wanted some Xia Guo and Neon products.
This looks like a big chess game, trying to do something under the pretext of promoting relations and expanding trade.
These matters have nothing to do with the interests of the consortium, but they are related. So the Tao family was asked about this matter. After all, in the eyes of the masters behind the Tao family, Tao Zhiming is now supported by the Tao family, so don't let the fire fall on them.
The person who had direct contact with Tao Zhiming was Tao Yaren, so Tao Yaren was called to the United States.
Here's the funny part, Tao Yaren actually got 1.5 billion yuan from the Tao family, but he told Tao Zhiming that the low-interest loan could only be counted as 1.2 billion yuan, and the other 300 million yuan was all put into what he and Hector did.
That fund enriched his own small treasury.
So Tao Ya people were the first to bear the brunt and could not let this matter get worse.
The key is that the participation of Tao Zhiming and Huo Yingdong is indeed limited to the top secrets of the Ouilt royal family and the Xia Kingdom. Ami Oil is not sure whether there is really an inside story in this transaction, or whether it is just because of this transaction
The closer relations between the two countries are the follow-up to the upgrade of cooperation in the economic and trade fields.
Here we need to clarify something: the Tao family was not cultivated by the American public authority in Neon, but was cultivated by the American consortium. However, the consortium is huge and has penetrated the middle-level bureaucrats very well. Therefore, the Tao family
Indeed, it can actually achieve the effect of pulling off the skin of a tiger to do big things.
Therefore, the consortium interrogated Tao Yaren for a long time. Since there was no complete evidence in this matter, after he tried his best to guarantee that Tao Zhiming was indeed just talking about business, the matter went through the procedures through the bureaucrats who were doing the actual work and ended hastily.
investigation.
In this process, only Tao Ya suffered.
Who told him to be corrupted by Tao Zhiming a long time ago? Pull out the radish and bring out the mud. The Tao family has strict laws. He swallowed 300 million yuan for his own use. This is a big death.
Tao Zhiming was filled with emotion when he heard this and poured wine for him: "It is better for big consortiums to be cautious in doing things. How could I think so much? When I came up with the plan for Hasal to handle in September last year, this matter
Isn’t it already over?"
This was the opinion given by Xia Guo after Tao Zhiming submitted the plan.
Anyway, the real transaction will only start this year. As long as it is finalized before the end of the year, the later the better.
Inside Ouilt and Xia Kingdom, anyone who leaks air must be guarded against. In short, Tao Zhiming's link has been guaranteed, and the two countries will deal with the general environment. For the specific process, the firewall on Xia Kingdom's side is the Huo family's
, the firewall on Ouiert's side is the Royal Vision. Tao Zhiming is just a middleman. The Huo family gives him the goods, and the Royal Vision buys his goods, as long as he makes a profit.
Besides, most of them are items of poor quality and difficult to negotiate value.
This tea, if you say it costs 10,000 yuan per catty, is a top quality tea exclusively for the royal family, that makes sense.
In fact, it may only cost 100 yuan per pound.
For such a major matter, the framework proposed by Tao Zhiming has been perfected by experts from both parties and there are no loopholes.
Import and export trade, are you not allowed to do this?
As for why Hasar was asked to handle this matter, it is a country with a feudal monarchy. The king loves his son. What's the point?
Why did Hasal let Tao Zhiming come to make this money? We have similar personalities and have fun, and Tao Zhiming is young and capable, so what’s the problem with leaving it to him?
Why did Tao Zhiming come to the Huo family? The answer just now was also very convincing.
One link after another, a perfect closed loop.
Only Tao Yaren was struggling in this process. In the end, he had to cooperate to patch things up, and added the impression that "our Asia-Pacific peripheral organizations are playing a big game."
Holding the wine poured by Tao Zhiming, Tao Yaren simply said: "Anyway, this matter is settled now. It is good that you can expand your influence on Ouiert, but I also need you to agree to a few conditions.
"
"...Isn't this appropriate?" Tao Zhiming argued, "I am doing business in a clean and honest manner, and I have not harmed your interests?"
"...Even if the truth of this matter is just this, this plan of the royal family's vision, with the accumulation of Ami Oil there, should have been done by them." Tao Yaren's eyes were sharp, "You understand, King
Why I insist on choosing Hasar and you is always questionable."
"What do you mean just forget it?" Tao Zhiming continued to feel unhappy, "Then if you suspect their royal family, go and investigate. I have to advance the capital for this business this year, and they will only pay the bill at the end of the year. At worst, I won't do it."
"...You didn't hear what I said about the conditions, and it's not necessarily a bad thing for you."
Tao Zhiming's eyes widened: "Then don't keep throwing such a big pot at me? Am I not afraid?"
"... Speak carefully." Tao Yaren has no evidence, so there is nothing he can do against him. Besides, he is also afraid that there is really evidence. If there is really evidence, Tao Yaren himself will be finished.
Unknowingly, he got on the boat of Tao Zhiming.
Thinking of this, Tao Yaren felt a little aggrieved and looked at him sadly again.
Tao Zhiming poured him another glass of wine with a smile on his face: "Yes, let's discuss it carefully. I haven't contacted you for a long time. There are many things that need to be discussed carefully. Tell me, what do you think?"
The conditions turned into ideas, and Tao Yaren could only say this: "The first thing is, you still have to share some of Ouilt's orders, and we will get some goods on hand."
"Then I can't lose money on this part. Then I will arrange for someone to contact me and see the supply price." Tao Zhiming said seriously as if he remembered something again, "With our relationship, you can rest assured, so I can only pay for it after receiving the payment."
, I will settle the payment to you at the end of the year.”
Tao Ya was tired, so she drank and continued: "The second thing is, within this year, add fuel to the real estate trust charity fund and expand the number of residents it benefits."
Tao Zhiming frowned: "I have already started selling real estate assets. Now that I continue to invest in this area, my income has become lower and lower."
This is true. The scale of the real estate trust charity fund continues to expand, and the interest discount benefits distributed benefit more people. The effect is only to prevent more and more people from being affected by the continuous increase in real estate prices.
Complaints abounded. But since Tao Zhiming was already clearing out his real estate assets, the return from this investment was indeed getting lower and lower for him.
“…At least keep investing in a symbolic way!”
Tao Zhiming gritted his teeth: "With my status, even a symbolic investment is worth hundreds of millions of yen. I'm short of funds now!"
These words made Tao Yaren very confused.
I originally thought that if this incident involved a top-level political dispute, he should be frightened no matter what.
As a result, he was reluctant to make every request anyway, as if he was trying to save Tao Ya's face.
Now when it comes to the second one, I'm stuck.
Should I tell him: I said you have a ghost in your heart, but you do?
He doesn't like this.
Tao Yaren was stunned for a while and then said: "Don't you and Kinoshita Hidefeng have other residential projects that have not been completed?"
"The rate of return is also very low! Of the projects I have participated in, these are the only ones that have not yet been sold in the second phase, and they will be completed within this year. Future projects have nothing to do with me, so why should I continue to increase investment?
With that kind of money, wouldn’t it be more cost-effective for me to invest it in my own Onodera wealth?”
There's nothing wrong with it, Tao Yaren thought for a moment, there's nothing wrong with it, that's the truth.
Instead, Tao Zhiming asked: "What are the benefits of investing in a trust charity fund? It's not for my own project, right?"
"...Of course, it will make those second batch of people who invest in the Fucheng Plan more confident."
Tao Zhiming frowned: "But in this pre-sale model, there is a high probability that they can recover their investment before the real estate market completely collapses, right?"
Tao Yaren understands what he is talking about, which means that there is no way to let these people fall into the crisis of the capital chain and harvest them when the bubble bursts.
So he thought for a while and said attentively: "So, by increasing investment in trust charity funds, you can have a greater say."
"...What does this have to do with what I said?"
Tao Yaren was convinced and looked at him speechlessly.
Tao Zhiming: confused.jpg.
"Don't pretend to be stupid with me!" Tao Yaren said with helpless contempt, "Didn't you just say that Takegami asked Hashimoto Taro to ask you about our Tao family?"
"...What is the relationship between the two?" Tao Zhiming was still confused.
To be continued...
