Li Guangyu said: "We are all businessmen. You don't know the price at which I buy resources from the Warsaw Pact member countries. You are trying to cut off my financial path. As long as you can use China's
Member countries will provide me with crude oil, coal, natural gas, etc. at prices agreed upon by member countries. I will immediately stop importing from there. I don’t even want lower prices. What do you think?”
Iwasaki Toshihide and others were speechless. How could they come up with resources at such a low price? Japan is also in very short supply of oil. If it weren't for the polar opposition, they would have already negotiated with the Soviet Union about importing oil. After all, the cost is less.
A lot of it.
The reason why Li Guangyu was able to buy at a price that was one-third lower than the market price was not because of them. Otherwise, how could the Soviet Union sell it at such a low price?
Umberto Agnelli said: "Mr. Li, I believe you understand that this is impossible. I believe you also understand the reason why you can buy these products at such a low price. Our requirements are not
Not high, and it is good for everyone. I also hope that Mr. Li will not insist on his own way. Only if the other party makes complete changes will it be good for all of us, and the same is true for the Li Group."
Although Li Guangyu also understood the reason why Donghua Trading Company was able to make money in this way, he was obviously unwilling to let him give up such huge benefits, so he had a fierce debate with representatives from the seven countries.
The two sides discussed it for nearly three hours before reaching an opinion acceptable to both parties.
Starting next month, the Lee Consortium will completely stop purchasing all kinds of products from Warsaw Pact member states and stop exporting grain to Warsaw Pact member states.
The Group of Seven shall not interfere with the Lee Consortium’s free trade in neutral countries in Eastern Europe. After the changes in Eastern Europe, the Group of Seven shall not prevent the Lee Consortium from investing in Eastern European countries. At the same time, the Group of Seven shall not interfere with the Lee Consortium’s oil fields in some countries.
invest.
At the same time, there are several agreements below, but it is unknown how binding they are. If these agreements are not followed, they will become a piece of waste paper.
The ultimate reason why we can reach an agreement this time is that it is beneficial to all parties. If the members of the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union really survived because of Donghua Trading Company, it would be a big trouble. At least Li Guangyu doesn't want it
Rewriting the history of Eastern Europe.
At first he just wanted to make a little money, but as a result, Gan Qinglin's business there grew bigger and bigger. Looking at the huge profits, Li Guangyu was unwilling to give up this trade. After all, it was a huge profit.
It was only after the Group of Seven jumped out that he woke up from his obsession with interests. It was obviously not a good thing for that huge empire to continue to exist. The fighting nation was not just talk. NATO has been on the defensive in military terms in the past few decades.
, if it is allowed to survive this crisis, God knows what the future will be like.
Li Guangyu's identity and family interests were destined to be different from the members of the Warsaw Pact. This was also when Zhang Ziyu mentioned it, he had plans to end the barter.
This is not just market pressure from the G7, but he himself is unwilling to change this period of history. Only the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact and the collapse of the Soviet Union will be beneficial to the development of his industries and the development of the mainland. The existence of the Soviet Union will also be beneficial to the mainland.
It's a huge pressure.
As for the short-term benefits, Li Guangyu believes that he can easily get them back later. With the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, privatization in these countries will inevitably be carried out on a large scale. How could he be willing to miss such an opportunity? Some of the clauses below today
In this regard, after the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, the Group of Seven countries must not hinder the Lee Group's acquisition of industries in various countries.
After the two parties reached an agreement, Iwasaki Toshihide said with a smile: "I know that Mr. Li can take the overall situation into consideration. We at Mitsubishi have always hoped to maintain a friendly cooperative relationship with Mr. Li. We also hope that our cooperation in the US market can continue."
Keep it going.”
The Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of First Citibank was quite unhappy. Just now, Toshihide Iwasaki had joined them in forcing Li Guangyu to give up trade with members of the Warsaw Pact. However, he now wanted to join forces with the Lee Consortium to continue to cause trouble in their American market.
.
In the past few years, the U.S. auto market has completely allowed Japanese cars to dominate, making it very difficult for American auto brands to develop. The Bentley Group is not a fuel-efficient lamp. It is just a car group that overwhelms General Motors and Unique in the U.S. market.
In the market, sales volume in the first half of this year ranked second after Toyota.
The third place is General Motors, the fourth place is Nissan, the fifth and sixth place is Ford and Chrysler, the seventh is Honda, the eighth is Mitsubishi, the ninth is Mazda, and the tenth is Hyundai.
Now the U.S. government and the shareholders behind the automobile group are trying to find ways to reverse the current situation. They are really angry that their U.S. automobile market has been captured by foreign brands.
These car brands are foreign-owned, but they are all produced in the United States, so they have no choice but to impose tariffs on them.
The most egregious thing is that several major Japanese automobile groups have joined forces with Li Guangyu's Bentley Group and South Korea's Hyundai Group in their markets. The Li Group's Xinghong Sports Group relies on its influence to focus on recommending these car brands.
You must know that the four teams under Xinghong Sports Group are powerful players in the four major sports leagues in the United States. They are frequent winners of championships and have great influence.
Basketball and ice hockey share the Great Western Forum Arena, now called the Bentley Center.
Its football stadium is now called Toyota Center, and its baseball stadium is called Mitsubishi Center.
His depression did not stop there. The Chairman of the Board of Directors of BNP Paribas said: "Mr. Li, thank you very much for understanding the righteousness and stopping trade with the Warsaw Pact member states regardless of your own losses. We in France are willing to have deeper discussions with Mr. Li."
cooperate.
We at Airbus will also speed up the delivery of aircraft to Xiangjiang Airlines and assist Xiangjiang Airlines in completing its route layout as soon as possible. Our Airbus A340 has already begun test flights and we hope to be favored by Xiangjiang Airlines in the future."
As the vice chairman of the board of directors of Citibank, the largest shareholder of Boeing Company, Koniz Stillman has always been worried about the loss of Xiangjiang Airlines, an important customer. Since the deterioration of their relationship with the Lee Group, Airbus has changed from
Xiangjiang Airlines has received orders for more than 200 aircraft.
The most important thing is that relying on the influence of the Lee Group, many airlines in Asia began to purchase Airbus aircraft, such as Cathay Pacific, China Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways, and mainland Sichuan Airlines and Ludao Airlines.
Especially for mainland airlines, Boeing used to be the dominant airline, but now it no longer has the advantage.
Currently, Xiangjiang Airlines holds 49% of the shares of Ludao Airlines, 49% of the shares of Sichuan Airlines, and 49% of the shares of Pengcheng Airlines. These three major airlines are deeply influenced by Xiangjiang Airlines, and all new aircraft purchased are Airbus.
Although the three major airlines are still very weak, Ludao Airlines, which was the first to develop it, only has 6 aircraft, and now it has 4 more Airbus A320s, which is only ten.
Sichuan Airlines currently only has 8 Airbus A320s, while Pengcheng Airlines has more. Although Pengcheng Airport has only started construction not long ago, Pengcheng Airlines based at Huacheng Airport currently has 16 Airbus A320s.
It's a pity that the relationship between them and the Li Consortium is becoming more and more tense. It is very difficult to ease the relationship between the two parties. He also believes that Li Guangyu must have known that it was also their side who proposed the Group of Seven to target Donghua Trading Company this time.
Destroying people and making money can be said to be a mortal enemy in their business world. If they don't stop Donghua Trading Company from trading with members of the Warsaw Pact, they believe that Donghua Trading Company can easily earn 10 billion U.S. dollars a year.
things.
But now such a huge profit has become a mirror. It is impossible to say that Li Guangyu has no ideas in his heart. If it were not for his lack of strength, Li Guangyu would definitely not choose to accept it so easily.
In the future, Li Guangyu and the Li Consortium will definitely take more actions against their American consortium. As long as there is an opportunity, he believes that Li Guangyu will not mind stabbing them in the back.
During last year's stock market crash, they were almost cheated by the Li Group. Fortunately, they had military planes and warships fly around Asia twice, which allowed them to escape smoothly.
He believed that if there was a strong force behind the Li Consortium, they would never be able to easily force Li Guangyu to agree this time. Not to mention Li Guangyu, even he was very excited about the profits, but it was a pity that they could not go ahead with it.
