One wave after another, although the Odong Trading Group has tried its best to control it, many times the transactions are more in exchange for oil, natural gas, coal and other resources from the Warsaw Pact member states.
However, because the scale of transactions has become larger and larger, a lot of industrial products have been exchanged, especially because the prices are cheap, and the northern and Southeast Asian markets are in urgent need of durable industrial equipment, which has also caused dissatisfaction among some forces.
On August 16, at Brian's invitation, Li Jianhui and Chen Yulian went to Victoria Peak to attend Brian's family dinner.
At the family dinner, Brian said: "Mr. Li, I was entrusted by the local government to talk to you about the Aodong Trading Group.
Whether it is us in the UK, nor Western European countries, nor even the United States, Canada, Australia and other countries, we do not want to have a powerful Warsaw Pact group. I believe that the North also does not want to face such a group all the time.
Fortunately, in recent years, the Warsaw Pact countries have focused on the development of heavy industry and despised light industry, so there have been considerable economic problems.
But since this year, Odong Trading Group has opened up the market for industrial equipment products of Warsaw Pact member states through the barter trade model, and this market is constantly expanding.
Although it has not changed the overall economic situation of the Warsaw Pact Group, it has produced considerable local changes.
I specially invited Mr. Li today because I hope that the Odong Trading Group will cut off the import of industrial products from the Warsaw Pact member states.
Of course, we are not preventing the Odong Trading Group from doing business with the Warsaw Pact Group, but we hope that the Odong Trading Group will import oil, natural gas, coal, iron ore and other resources from the Warsaw Pact Group."
Li Jianhui had actually predicted this when the Aodong Trading Group was established, so he specifically asked Huang Guangxing to exchange oil, natural gas, coal and other resources as much as possible.
It's just that the Warsaw Pact Group is not stupid. Instead of selling mineral resources, they want to sell industrial products.
In addition, there is indeed demand in the northern market and Southeast Asian market, so the business in this area is getting bigger and bigger. Last month alone, the unilateral trade volume exceeded 2 billion US dollars.
It is no wonder that NATO countries cannot sit still. They are trying every means to suppress and dismember the Warsaw Pact Group, but the Odong Trading Group has made a lot of money by transfusing blood to the Warsaw Pact Group.
"I already understand what Mr. Bryan means. A strong Warsaw Pact group is indeed detrimental to many parties. I will make adjustments in this regard.
Starting next month, Odong Trading Group will only purchase oil, natural gas, iron ore, coal and other resources in its transactions with the Warsaw Pact Group."
Brian originally thought that Li Jianhui would not agree easily. After all, to a certain extent, they were cutting off Li Jianhui's financial path.
The result surprised him. Li Jianhui agreed without any hesitation, so that many of the arguments he prepared were useless.
At the same time, he also knew that Li Jianhui must have considered this matter a long time ago. Even the time when Aodong Trading Group stopped importing industrial products from the Warsaw Pact Group completely depended on the time when they found Li Jianhui, so he was so decisive.
"Thank you Mr. Li for your understanding. I also believe that Mr. Li's decision is extremely wise. Our British government will continue to support the development of Mr. Li's industries. Any force that suppresses our British companies for no reason will be counterattacked by our British government.
"
Li Jianhui only believed half of what Brian said. He also understood the meaning of Brian's words. If he disagreed this time, he was afraid that he would be suppressed by the British government.
And this is definitely not just the British. I am afraid that many Western European countries, including the United States, Canada and Australia, will take action. These countries will never let any force pull the Warsaw Pact Group out of the quagmire.

However, the current development is not without good news for Li Jianhui. Due to the butterfly effect he has brought in recent years, the relationship between England and the United States is not very friendly.
Especially since this year, the proportion of sterling in foreign exchange settlement in major global markets has increased significantly, especially in dozens of countries within the Commonwealth, transactions with each other are directly settled in sterling.
This has also led to considerable rifts in the relationship between Britain and the United States this year. In the past few months, the two countries have frequently increased tariffs on each other's products.
Brian's words also have this reason. As long as the United States dares to target British companies, the British government headed by the Iron Lady will inevitably retaliate in kind.
Every country with a glorious history has a dream of rejuvenation. The northern government has it, and so does the British.
As the situation has changed in recent years, Britain, which was originally not very enthusiastic about the European Community, has become quite concerned in the past two years. Not only is it actively communicating with West Germany, France, Italy and other European Community members, but it is also actively wooing them.
Western European countries that have not yet joined the European Community.
In addition, communication and influence are also being strengthened on the Commonwealth side, especially with frequent exchanges with the governments of Canada, Australia, Malaysia and other countries. British capital has also entered the Commonwealth countries on a large scale, achieving a win-win situation with the locals.
The reason why Li Jianhui agreed to Bryan's request without delay was because, as he said, he also did not want a powerful Warsaw Pact bloc to exist.
Only in a Warsaw Pact bloc that poses no great threat to Western Europe would Britain, France, and Germany be able to get rid of the United States, or even stand on the opposite side of the United States. The pressure on the North would be greatly reduced as a result. In addition, the continued promotion of ASEAN to deepen cooperation will form a second European Union in the future.
, this will be more conducive to the development of the Xinjian Department and even the Donghua Association industry.
Brian was also very well-informed. After the main issues were discussed, the transfer came to Xinjian Department's development in the northern market.
"Mr. Li, in the past two days, I heard that the development of Golden Princess Cinema Line is not going well in the northern market. The other party does not seem to welcome the development of Golden Princess Cinema Line there.
Moreover, according to rumors, the other party will use the tactics of its own companies on your companies. I wonder what Mr. Li’s plan is for this?"
"Mr. Bryan's intelligence agents are really pervasive. I don't know how many of my employees are MI6 personnel. I'm just an ordinary businessman. Don't Mr. Bryan think it's a waste to have these elites under my banner?"
Yet?"
Seeing that Li Jianhui did not answer his question and instead changed the subject to talk about intelligence personnel, Brian did not mention the northern issue again.
As for arranging intelligence personnel around Li Jianhui, that is necessary. For Britain, Li Jianhui's power is more important than that of many countries and regions.
"If Mr. Li were an ordinary businessman, I wouldn't have to worry about Mr. Li.
Now Mr. Li's organization can be said to be a mixed bag, with personnel from the Second National Security Bureau of the North, the Treasure Island Military Intelligence Bureau, and the US Central Intelligence Agency.
It is not even ruled out that intelligence officers from the KGB, Mossad and other agencies are by your side.
We have to be careful about this, and this is also for the sake of Mr. Li's safety and industrial development, and to prevent Mr. Li from being taken advantage of by people with malicious intentions and taking the wrong path."
Li Jianhui also knows what's going on under his banner. His rapid rise in just a few years has naturally attracted the attention of countless forces, especially in a place like this.
He also knew very well that it was impossible for MI6 to withdraw the intelligence personnel under his command, and he just mentioned it just because he did not want to respond to the question raised by Brian.
