Of course Yan Xiong does not know what "new energy" is. It can be said that many people in this era do not know this concept.
In the last time and space, the "United Nations Conference on New and Renewable Energy" held by the United Nations in 1980 defined new energy as: based on new technologies and new materials, traditional renewable energy can be developed and utilized in a modern way.
Endless, recurring renewable energy replaces fossil energy with limited resources and environmental pollution, focusing on the development of solar energy, wind energy, biomass energy, tidal energy, geothermal energy, hydrogen energy, and electric energy.
Shi Zhijian has a thorough understanding of new energy, so he actually has a bigger plan in mind.
Since he came to London, he has launched a total of three businesses. He and Principal Martins opened the "Mythology Study Abroad Agency" to focus on foreigners coming to study in the UK.
Secondly, he teamed up with Sheriff Charlemagne, Akagi Hsiung, Ruan Jinlong and others to set up a "loving labor agency" to focus on the sale of labor resources.
Finally, it made large-scale acquisitions of coal and natural gas companies, relying on surprise to monopolize the British energy market.
Now it seems that the British are still very vigilant and will never allow a foreigner to control their original energy lifeline. For this reason, they also involve the Duke of Windsor, who is about to "bury himself in peace", and ask him to find Shi Zhijian to negotiate this
A "big business".
Shi Zhijian had anticipated this from the beginning, so he just pretended to "resist" for a while, and in the end he surrendered to those energy companies that had not yet warmed up with "370 million" pounds!
The next thing Shi Zhijian has to do is to return 200 million of the 300 million earned to the "Myth Investment Fund" managed by Shen Bi and Saipan, so that they can continue to make waves in the London stock market.
When Shi Zhijian gave them 100 million to acquire the British Energy Company, the investment there almost came to a halt. Now he not only repays 100 million, but also gives 100 million more, which will definitely make Shen Bi, Saipan and others happy.
die!
The reason why Shi Zhijian did this was because he remembered that the first oil crisis would break out in the world in more than a year!
In October 1973, the Fourth Middle East War broke out, and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries decided to raise the price of oil. Before the price increase, the price of oil was only US$3.01 per barrel. By the end of 1973, the price of oil reached US$11.651 per barrel, with a price increase of 3 to 4 US dollars.
times.
The increase in oil prices greatly increased the international balance of payments deficit of Western countries, which ultimately triggered the largest economic crisis in the postwar capitalist world from 1973 to 1975.
What Shi Zhijian has to do now is to keep raising money and prepare enough bullets for the Shinhwa Investment Fund, and then rely on the oil crisis to plunder the world! This is also the main reason why Shi Zhijian decided to sell and acquire 300 energy companies, and raise funds quickly
Money! After all, it takes time to wait for those companies to make profits!
Of course, before that, Shi Zhijian still has to do something with another 100 million pounds, which is to find loopholes in the British Empire and make a fuss about new energy!
New energy covers a wide range of areas, but for Shi Zhijian, there is one type that he now identifies as "electric bicycles"!
The invention of the electric bicycle is actually very simple. The most important core is the "battery" and "brush". As long as you know the secrets, you can easily make it.
Shi Zhijian wants to use it to replace the popular bicycles in the UK!
After the success of electric bicycles, Shi Zhijian will try to manufacture electric vehicles, create this brand-new means of transportation decades in advance, occupy the European market, and then start from the European market to occupy the American market!
When all the streets in the UK, and even Europe and America, are filled with electric vehicles, the British will know who the real energy tycoons are!
As for what the first generation electric car was called?
Yadi?
Emma?
Or the Chinese Dragon?
Shi Zhijian pinched his eyebrows and felt a headache.
The brand new Rolls-Royce was parked on the roadside.
Ax Jun was smoking in the car. When he saw Yan Xiong and Shi Zhijian coming out of the Windsor Garden Villa, he hurriedly threw the cigarette he was smoking on the ground through the car window.
Yan Xiong stepped forward quickly, helped Shi Zhijian open the car door, and let Shi Zhijian get in the car.
Ax Jun is also ready and is responsible for driving from the front.
Yan Xiong followed Shi Zhijian into the car. Seeing that Shi Zhijian seemed to have something on his mind and did not dare to disturb him, he motioned with his eyes to Axejun to drive slower.
The car started slowly.
Suddenly Shi Zhijian asked: "How is the situation at Hejia Li?"
Yan Xiong immediately replied: "Still struggling with the legal team from the London Chamber of Commerce!"
Shi Zhijian smiled: "It seems that these people from the London Chamber of Commerce have very good teeth. They really want to devour me!"
"Yes, those ghost guys are bullying others. Not only do they want to tear up the contract, they also want Zhu Bajie to beat him up!"
Shi Zhijian took out a cigarette and held one in the corner of his mouth.
When Yan Xiong saw it, he quickly took out a lighter and helped him light it.
Shi Zhijian lit a cigarette and patted the back of Yan Xiong's hand to express his gratitude. He blew out a puff of smoke and said, "Let's find out what they have been up to recently -"
"I've already made it clear that their Chamber of Commerce will convene a final mobilization meeting tomorrow to prepare to carry this lawsuit through to the end!"
"Very good!" Shi Zhijian flicked the ashes from his cigarette and said, "Take me there tomorrow!"
"What are you doing?" Yan Xiong blinked.
"Of course, turning enemies into friends!" Shi Zhijian said with a sly smile, "Is the UK a capitalist society? Do you know what they love most? That is profit!"
…
The next day, the large conference room of the London Chamber of Commerce.
"We will definitely win this lawsuit!"
President Lawrence stood on the podium waving his arms and speaking impassionedly.
More than thirty members of the Chamber of Commerce sat around the large oval conference table, listening to Lawrence's speech and sharing the same hatred.
"Why is he, a little Chinese, fighting with us? With the damn contract? We can tear it up at any time! Yes, it was this despicable Chinese who deceived us! He defrauded three hundred companies from us,
We have to fight back!"
"Down with him!"
"Down with this treacherous and cunning Chinese!"
The conference room was noisy, with many ghosts roaring.
Just then——
With a bang, the door of the large conference room was pushed open, and a voice said slowly: "You want to knock down the next one? Is it me?"
While he was talking, he saw Shi Zhijian, dressed in white, walking in from outside leisurely.
Following him was his confidant Yan Xiong.
"Shi Zhijian, why is it you?"
"Damn it, how dare you come here!"
Suddenly, several people in the conference room stood up, with ferocious expressions, and spoke fiercely to Shi Zhijian.
Bang!
A security guard was thrown in from the outside and slammed onto the conference table!
The huge noise startled everyone!
Look at the security guard again, lying half-dead on the conference table and groaning.
Ax Jun came in from the outside, with another guard's neck stuck in his hand, and he swung the guard hard and threw him out!
On the ground outside, three or four security guards were lying on the ground groaning, obviously seriously injured.
"I'm sorry, everyone, these friends didn't welcome me very much and even touched me, so I asked my subordinates to teach them a lesson. Do you mind?" Shi Zhijian said to a group of ghost guys with a smile.
The ghosts all turned pale, and those who had stood up in anger also softened and secretly sat down.
"Damn it!" Lawrence slammed the table, "Shi Zhijian, what do you mean?"
Shi Zhijian shrugged in the face of the furious Lawrence: "Don't be angry, actually I am here to tell everyone -"
"What are you talking about? Begging for mercy? Impossible!" Lawrence interrupted Shi Zhijian and said with a ferocious face, "We will fight this lawsuit to the end!"
"Yes, we will never admit defeat!"
"You liar, you deceived us!"
Some bolder ones followed Lawrence's lead.
Shi Zhijian smiled: "Can everyone please stop being so impulsive and let me finish what I'm saying?"
"Finished? What are you talking about? There is nothing to talk about between us and you!" Lawrence sneered, "Unless you admit that you made a mistake and return those companies to us!"
"Give it back to you? I want it too!" Shi Zhijian sighed, "But-"
"But what? What do you, a cunning guy, want to do?" Lawrence and others asked warily.
Just as Shi Zhijian was about to speak, Slock, Lawrence's best friend and the main person in charge of the London Chamber of Commerce, rushed in with a newspaper in hand and said: "No! Something big has happened!"
Lawrence was very dissatisfied with Slok's appearance at this time. He was in full swing. Why did you come in?
"What happened?"
"Something big happened!" Slok panted, not noticing that something was wrong in the conference room. Shi Zhijian was still standing next to him, "The Duke of Windsor, on behalf of Shangfeng, acquired all of Shi Zhijian's companies!"
"Uh, what?" Lawrence was shocked.
Others jumped up and looked in disbelief!
"It has been published in the newspapers! It came from the Duke of Windsor!" Slok hurriedly handed the newspaper in his hand to Lawrence and others.
Lawrence took it and looked at it, and was dumbfounded!
The headline on the front page of the newspaper: "The Duke of Windsor has made a big move to return 300 energy sources to Great Britain!"
Looking at the content carefully, it is clearly stated that the Duke of Windsor, on behalf of the British Empire Government, used very gentle means, extremely low prices, and upheld an excellent contractual spirit to re-acquire 300 energy companies from Shinhwa Group!
As for the specific gentle methods and low prices, they are not mentioned, leaving people to speculate.
Even so, Lawrence and others were already shocked at this moment!
"How is that possible?"
"Why is this happening?"
Lawrence and others felt that their bodies were suddenly drained, and they all collapsed on their chairs!
They have been fighting for so long just to take over Shi Zhijian's company, but now——
He was actually cut off!
It would be fine if someone else was the one who intercepted them, they could still fight, but the problem is that the one who intercepted them was the British government! What the hell is this fight?!
"So now, do you still want to continue fighting with me?" Shi Zhijian walked towards Lawrence and others with a smile.
The scene was silent.
Shi Zhijian walked up to the president Lawrence: "Actually, we can be friends!"
Lawrence looked up at him, with a trace of sarcasm on his lips, "Are you trying to comfort me, or are you making sarcastic remarks?"
"I'm serious!" Shi Zhijian smiled, "We fought to the death for those energy companies before, but now those conflicts no longer exist, why can't we work together?" Shi Zhijian stretched out his hand towards Lawrence and said in a friendly tone.
"Work hand in hand? What is your purpose?" Lawrence didn't even look at Shi Zhijian's right hand that extended out to represent friendship.
Shi Zhijian took back his right hand and scratched the bridge of his nose with his fingers: "You ask me what my purpose is? Of course it is to make a fortune!"
After a pause, he said: "Although I no longer have those energy companies, I still control the largest labor resources in London and even the UK! Love labor agency, you must have heard of it, right? I can provide you with the cheapest labor force! Let you
Get rid of the union and save the company a lot of money!”
"In addition, I also run a Shinhwa Study Abroad Office! Many international students from Hong Kong who come to the UK will need food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation. The rental houses, department stores, bars, dance halls, etc. you run can all work with our office
Sign the contract - Hong Kong has a population of 400, and there will be at least hundreds of thousands of international students in the future. In addition to the Japanese market, Korean market, and Malaysian markets that our firm continues to explore, there will be at least millions of students a year.
People’s consumption will be such a huge figure, I don’t need to tell you, you should also understand it!”
When Shi Zhijian said these reasons, Lawrence and others looked at him with disdain and disdain at first!
But gradually their expressions changed!
That’s right!
Just like Shi Zhijian said, they are all capitalists of the British Empire! They only have interests in their hearts!
When they heard Shi Zhijian talk about human resources, their hearts were moved!
Damn British trade unions always help those hateful workers, let them give each other high wages and high benefits, and use every possible method to blackmail them!
If they are willing to cooperate with Shi Zhijian, they can supplement the cheapest Japanese and Vietnamese workers from the "loving labor agency"!
These people are paid low salaries and have no benefits at all. Terminating their contract will definitely cost them a lot of money!
When Shi Zhijian talked about "The Shinhwa Study Abroad Office", they were even more excited!
Every fool knows that almost all those who can come to the UK to study in the UK are not short of money!
Even if you are short of money, you will sell everything to give everything for your children!
And these international students will become a huge consumer market in the UK!
As for Lawrence himself, he owns many small apartments for rent across the UK. Apart from tourists, international students are the largest group!
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire conference room was very strange.
After Shi Zhijian finished speaking, he said no more, but stretched out his hand to Lawrence again and said: "Now, it's your choice whether you want to be friends or enemies!"
Silence!
Silence again!
Slok and others looked at Lawrence nervously, eager to make a decision for him!
Taking a deep breath, Lawrence took a step forward, looked up at Shi Zhijian, smiled for the first time on his originally troubled face, shook hands with Shi Zhijian and said, "Welcome, dear friend!"
Shi Zhijian smiled, shook hands and said: "Happy cooperation!"
